Su Hao naturally didn't know what Xu Huanzhen was thinking.
After returning home, Su Hao completed his daily practice as usual and went to bed early, as he would be serving as a guard at the execution ground tomorrow.
The next day came. Su Hao changed his appearance and went to see Gongsun Xiu.
"Brother Wen, please change into this uniform."
Gongsun Xiu took out a set of prepared guard uniforms.
It was just an ordinary gray-silver guard uniform with metal armor and a sword, so it was certainly not ostentatious.
"OK."
Su Hao naturally agreed and put on the guard uniform. Ruo Xi was neither tall nor short, and wearing this guard uniform, he looked no different from an ordinary guard and was extremely low-key.
Early in the morning, under the arrangement of Gongsun Xiu, Su Hao went to the execution ground at the crossroads outside the vegetable market in Changqing City.
About thirty or forty soldiers wearing armor and holding weapons stood guard outside the execution ground, causing many civilians passing by to stop and look.
"Another death row prisoner was beheaded in public?"
"Well done! Go buy some steamed buns! It's said that steamed buns soaked in blood can cure all diseases!"
It is human nature to watch the excitement, and a large number of people soon gathered outside the execution ground. They talked a lot and were excitedly waiting to see the head fall to the ground.
Su Hao was wearing a soldier's uniform, standing quietly among a group of soldiers, inconspicuous.
There was a slight commotion among the crowd. A middle-aged man in official uniform and with a dignified appearance rushed to the execution ground, surrounded by several guards, and walked towards the execution platform.
This middle-aged man is Li Shou, the county lieutenant of Changqing City.
Changqing City is a county town, and the highest-ranking official is the County Monarch. Under the County Monarch are two County Assistants and a County Lieutenant, who are in charge of public security, interrogation, etc., and are considered to be the most prestigious officials in the county.
Li Shou looked dignified and sat on the execution platform.
"Lord Li, it's almost time."
Not long after, a man dressed as a scholar beside County Lieutenant Li Shou whispered in his ear.
Li Shou glanced at the sky and nodded slightly: "Let's get started."
"Bring all the condemned prisoners to the execution ground, identify them, and behead them in public as a warning to others!"
The man dressed as a scholar immediately gave the order in a loud voice.
"Walk!"
In prison vans, the condemned prisoners, wearing black hoods and shackles, were escorted to the execution ground by soldiers.
"Have mercy! Have mercy! I am innocent! I am innocent!"
These death row inmates were screaming in fear, hoping for a miracle to happen.
Most of the death row prisoners were already numb, like puppets, with stiff steps, and were escorted to the execution ground and knelt down.
Su Hao saw at a glance the most unique one among the death row prisoners.
The prisoner was exceptionally tall, and compared to other prisoners on death row, his feet were shackled with heavy steel. The metal shackles made a rattling sound when he walked, and even his back and valves were nailed with silver needles, blocking the acupuncture points for moving qi and exerting strength.
All this shows that this death row prisoner is a very dangerous character, more dangerous than a wild beast. In order to avoid accidents, he needs to be restrained by heavy shackles.
The tall condemned prisoner did not resist. He knelt on the ground with his tall body. Compared with other kneeling condemned prisoners, he stood out from the crowd.
"It was the county lieutenant, Li Shou, who was worried that someone would come to the execution ground to rob the death row prisoner."
Su Hao also understood this person's identity in his heart.
The masked executioner came to the left and took off the hood of the first death row prisoner, revealing an ordinary, haggard face, with dull eyes and chattering teeth, but he said nothing, having accepted his fate.
"cut."
County Lieutenant Li Shou was looking through the list of prisoners and carefully examined the appearance of the condemned prisoner. After confirming that he was correct, he nodded and gave the order.
“Swish!”
The executioner holding the ghost-head broadsword raised his sword and slashed it, tearing the flesh and blood. The condemned prisoner's big head fell to the ground and rolled on the ground. The headless corpse fell limply to the ground, and blood dripped out, gathering into a stream.
"Quick...quick! Human blood steamed buns can cure all diseases!"
Many people went to the place with steamed buns stained with blood. Some of their family members were sick, and some wanted to sell the blood-stained buns.
It is said that human blood steamed buns can cure all diseases, but it is obviously fake.
Many people shook their heads when they saw this scene. Although most people knew that this thing was useless, there was never a shortage of ignorant people in this era.
"No... don't kill me..."
The death row inmates were so frightened that they screamed miserably, their crotches were wet, they had incontinence of feces and urine, and there was great terror between life and death!
“Behead!” “Behead!”
But when they were put on the execution ground, they were all people with serious crimes. The executioner's butcher knife was merciless and the sound of heads falling to the ground was endless.
The people watching below cheered, but some turned pale, and some even felt deeply uncomfortable with the bloody scene and vomited on the spot.
The purpose of beheading in public is to intimidate the person who committed the crime.
Soon, it was the turn of the tall death row prisoner. The executioner took off the hood on his head, revealing a face that looked extremely ordinary, even a little honest. These bad guys did not have the word "bad guy" written on their faces.
"Dong Ying, you slaughtered more than 20 people from the Zhao family in Qingshui Town, leaving no one alive, including the old, weak, sick and disabled. Your crime is heinous. Do you know your guilt?"
On the execution platform, Lieutenant Li Shou looked down from above and shouted at the tall and shackled prisoner, Li Shou.
"So what if I don't know my crime? So what if I know my crime? If I know my crime, will you hawks not kill me? I'm just killing some landlords who exploited the people. It's an act of robbing the rich to help the poor. I'm a knight, a hero, right!"
With the butcher's knife behind him, the tall death row prisoner Ying raised his lips slightly and snorted with disdain, looking unruly.
Li Shou's face darkened and he looked angry. This hero had killed more than a dozen people and countless innocent civilians, yet he was still making excuses here and acting as if he was justified.
"How dare you confuse right and wrong? Behead!"
Li Shou threw out a token and shouted.
"cut!"
The executioner 꿛 received the order and raised his butcher knife high, slashing at 녪英's neck with an angry blow.
But Ying, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly struggled, and the iron chains all over his body clanged. The two big men who were holding him down couldn't hold him down anymore and were pushed away. The knife didn't cut Ying's neck, but the harder head. Although the sharp blade cut the muscles on Ying's head, it couldn't cut through the hardened skull.
"Still dare to resist?"
Several executioners rushed forward and pinned the struggling Ying to the ground again, and the executioner raised his knife to chop her again.
With blood all over his face, Ying struggled while roaring with a glimmer of hope: "Father, save me! I am your only son!"
땤At this moment, Su Hao narrowed his eyes slightly.
In the crowd, black round spheres suddenly splashed out and fell towards the execution ground. When they hit the ground, they suddenly exploded, and a powerful air wave rushed out, shattering the bricks on the ground!
“Ah! Ah!”
In an instant, the soldiers on the execution ground were blown away and tumbled backwards, their arms and legs broken, flesh and blood flying everywhere. The civilians who were joining in the fun were closer to the blast and were affected by the blast. They were immediately blown away and fell to the ground, wailing and screaming.
The explosive also created a wave of air that rushed towards Su Hao, but Su Hao's whole body was full of strength, which eliminated the powerful wave of air into nothingness.
"Save my son!"
A rough and loud roar exploded, and among the crowd, one by one the men in black pushed away the chaotic crowd. All of them were masked with black cloth, but their brows and eyes were ferocious.
“Here it comes!”
Su Hao's eyes sparkled. Li Shou was worried that someone would be bold enough to rob the execution ground, but it was just a worry. In the end, it really happened. For Su Hao, it was a good opportunity to kill the thief and gain merit in exchange for the secret bone-strengthening medicine he wanted!
