The bullets were filled with small stones, which kept shooting towards Wang Haotian.
Although they were not fatal, one could imagine the pain from having so many of them hit him.
In addition, he had a lot of injuries on his body, and now this was even more painful.
His hands and feet were cuffed again, and his clothes were torn and tattered. In Wang Haotian's eyes, this was almost the same as being beaten naked.
Some people even held wooden boards with the words: Bully, tyrant, rob women, kill, kill, kill...
There were several "kill" characters at the end, which showed how much they hated Wang Haotian.
"This bully finally got his comeuppance."
"Who said it wasn't? He should have been dealt with long ago."
"If it weren't for him, my family would have been destroyed."
"Your Excellency is wise."
"......"
As the discussion here continued, the crowd's slogan changed from "Kill, kill, kill" to "Your Excellency is wise."
Even if Zhang Feimo walked slowly, the team was moving forward and the guillotine would eventually arrive.
When Wang Haotian was escorted out of the prison van again, he was really scared.
Because the executioner was even standing on it with a big knife in his hand.
The guillotine, that was a place he had never dared to think about before.
What about now?
How could I not be afraid when I was being escorted there like this?
Looking at the glowing white sword held by the executioner, Wang Haotian trembled.
I couldn't imagine what it would be like if that sword chopped my neck.
As soon as he was escorted up, Wang Haotian knelt down in front of Zhang Feimo and begged:
"Sir, please spare my life, Sir Zhang, please spare my life... I kowtow to you, kowtow, I kowtow to you..."
After saying that, he started knocking his head "dong dong dong".
Zhang Feimo did not stop him. After a while, he said, "Just now in the prison van, weren't you still shouting that you were wronged? Why? You don't feel wronged now?"
This was the first sentence Zhang Feimo said to him today, which made Wang Haotian very excited.
He finally talked to himself.
He had been calling Zhang Feimo all the way, but Zhang Feimo ignored him.
Until this moment, he had not spoken to himself. This was the first sentence he had said to himself today.
That means this is his last chance.
If he doesn't seize this opportunity, he will really be beheaded in public.
Even now, he still couldn't believe that one day he would be beheaded in public like this.
No, it should be said that he couldn't believe that he would fall into the hands of this small seventh-rank official.
Two days ago he was still eating bird's nest breakfast in the palace, but what about today?
This day is completely different.
"Don't say that I won't give you a chance. There is still one hour left before the time comes. In that hour, you can speak out your grievances."
Zhang Feimo pronounced the word "wrong" particularly clearly.
Wang Haotian was a smart man. He knew that Zhang Feimo's words were obviously sarcastic and at the same time a hint.
It implies that he should tell the truth or continue to protest his injustice.
Wang Haotian did not speak immediately, but weighed the pros and cons.
He wondered what his chances of survival would be if he told all this.
But no matter how hard he thought, he couldn't figure it out.
At the same time, he was very clear that the chances of his elder brother coming back today were slim.
In the previous letter, you said that you would be back in two days. Normally speaking, you should arrive in Hexian tomorrow.
If he could come back today, he would never say these words.
"I guess Master Wang still needs to think about it again, right? Do you need me to remind you again, Master Wang, do you have this one chance? Since I've asked you, I'm giving you a chance."
"If you don't answer this time, when you have thought it through and want to answer, you won't have the chance. You know that I always keep my word."
Hearing this, Wang Haotian was startled and said without thinking:
"Sir, I can tell you everything, but will you promise not to kill me?"
"No, I can ensure that you will be executed in the autumn." Zhang Feimo replied immediately.
Even if it was a lie to him, Zhang Feimo would not bother.
If he doesn’t kill Wang Haotian for what he has done over the years, it would be unjust.
It is even more difficult to appease the public anger.
Seeing the people's response when he was paraded through the streets, Zhang Fei knew that he would not agree and would not kill him.
Everything is done according to the law.
It is only natural that a life should be paid with a life.
Besides, he was the county magistrate and he would not resort to such tactics in front of everyone.
Executing him in the autumn was his biggest concession.
"If that's the case, then why should I say that we'll all die sooner or later, right?"
Wang Haotian had a desperate idea, and he thought that this idea was enough to threaten Zhang Feimo.
However, the facts were beyond his expectations.
Zhang Feimo stood up, flicked the non-existent dust off his arm, and said coldly: "The time is almost up, prepare for the execution!"
When he said this, the expression on his face made it clear that he would not listen to a word he said.
He was also telling Wang Haotian that he had already given him the opportunity.
These few short words made Wang Haotian turn pale instantly.
He didn't expect Zhang Feimo to be so decisive and he didn't even bother to talk to him.
He just wanted to live, and with his status, he was fully capable of doing so.
If you want to be executed later, what's the difficulty in finding a reason to release you?
Following Zhang Feimo's order, the bailiff immediately carried Wang Haotian towards the center of the guillotine...
"Sir, I'll tell you everything, I'll tell you..."
Wang Haotian said quickly.
"It's too late. I've already given you the chance, but you just didn't seize it." Zhang Feimo said lightly.
"Let me go, let me go..." Wang Haotian struggled desperately.
However, all this was in vain, not to mention that he was already injured.
Even if it was the skills of a yamen runner, he couldn't resist.
Even when he was carried to the center of the guillotine by the bailiffs, Wang Haotian still stood straight.
Once he kneels down, his head will be pressed down, and then the big knife in the executioner's hand will fall on his neck...
Thinking of the scene of his head rolling on the ground, Wang Haotian's lower body began to flow out a stream of light yellow liquid...
Yamen runner: “…”
Without caring about anything else, he kicked Wang Haotian on the knee, and he fell to his knees with a thump.
"Zhang Feimo, if you dare to kill me, my brother will never let you go." Wang Haotian made his last struggle.
"Who is your elder brother? I don't need to care. I know that you have murdered the people and there is irrefutable evidence. Sentencing you to death is already giving you face."
