dream of red mansion

The younger woman whispered to Fu Huiwen.The two of them came out to inquire about the news.

"I don't know either, but for now, we can only listen to her, and hope she can really save the young lady."

Fu Huiwen's voice was not without worry.They hadn't seen Luzhu for several days, if they could not receive her letter, their Xuewei would have been in turmoil long ago!

"Step aside……!"

While they were talking, suddenly the other side of the street became lively.

A large group of officers and soldiers pressed a prison cart and slowly passed through the street.

The people in the capital are no longer unfamiliar with this situation, and they all know that the government must execute the repeat offender again.

I saw the criminal kneeling quietly in the prison car, motionless.Her hair was disheveled, and she couldn't see her face, but judging from her shape and stature, she should be a woman.

The appearance of this scene immediately caused people to wait and see and discuss on both sides of the street.

"Sigh, I don't know what crime this woman committed, so many officers and soldiers were sent to escort her."

At a table not far from Fu Huiwen and the others, an unidentified man sighed.

"Brother Zhang doesn't know who she is? But I happen to know..."

His companions seem to know the situation very well.

"Oh, but I forgot. Brother Ling is on an errand in Shuntian Mansion, so he must know the origin of this woman. Please, Brother Wang, tell me about it."

The man who was replaced by Brother Wang smiled triumphantly, and then said: "To tell you the truth, she is not an ordinary woman..."

Brother Wang intends to make a fool of himself.

"Oh? Could it be that he is still a great person?"

Sure enough, his companion's curiosity was aroused.Brother Wang's vanity was a little satisfied, and he no longer concealed it, he said: "She, most likely, is the assassin who sneaked into the residence of Master He, the chief assistant, to assassinate a few days ago!"

"Snapped!"

The sound of a heavy object hitting the table next to it made the two turn their heads to look.But I saw two ordinary women sitting there quietly with their heads down, eating food by themselves, so they didn't care much.

Turning his head, Brother Zhang continued to ask:

"What, that's her? How dare she, a woman, assassinate Shoufu?"

Brother Wang sneered: "Do you think she is an ordinary woman? If you offend her, even keeping ten of your lives is not enough for her to kill!"

Uh, Brother Zhang said in a stagnant tone: "Who is she?"

"It's okay to tell you, she is the contemporary saint of the White Lotus Sect who has caused disasters everywhere in the past!"

……

The forty-sixth chapter is always a good person

Caishikou is a place to kill people.

In ancient times, killing was a public display.And Caishikou is the best place to behead for public display and alert the world.

Caishikou is different from the Meridian Gate, which is a place specially used for emperors to kill people.Those killed are usually princes and ministers and high-ranking officials.

When killing these people, those who need to be vigilant are naturally people of the same class, so it is only necessary for civil and military officials to see it, but ordinary people do not need to watch it.

Of course, those who are notorious and bring disaster to the country and the people, those who need to be announced to the world and quell public grievances, will also be dragged to the vegetable market to be executed.

In other words, under normal circumstances, only Caishikou is a formal and legal execution ground, and Meridian Gate is rarely used.

Caishikou is located in an open area, so it is naturally a place to sell vegetables.There is no special place for killing. Usually, a temporary beheading mat is set up in front of a few shops, and then the open space in front is cleared, which is a qualified execution ground.

"My lord, it's three quarters past noon."

Zhang Ziwen walked to the supervisor's beheading seat, and said to Shui Rong in the middle.

When the chief assistant was assassinated, the royal family, in order to show that they valued it, hand-appointed Shui Rong as the execution supervisor, and Wu Zihao, the presiding judge, as the deputy supervisor.

Shui Rong nodded and said, "Immediately verify your identity."

"Yes!"

Zhang Ziwen bowed his hands, and then walked to the prisoner for inspection.After only one glance, Zhang Ziwen frowned.

It's just that the woman's appearance is extremely messy.Her messy hair was hanging down, revealing only half of her jet-black face with bloodstains, and her body was also pitch-black.

Zhang Ziwen is just doing a routine inspection and going through the process.But seeing the prisoner like this, he still couldn't help but sigh.He also knew that this female prisoner had a close relationship with Jia Qing. It was said that Jia Qing knelt outside the Daming Palace for three full days in order to save her life.

Alas, what a pity...

Zhang Ziwen shook his head and was about to turn around and return to his command, when suddenly his gaze became fixed, and he looked up at the kneeling woman in front of him again.

As an assistant in this case, he naturally knew Wu Xian'er.Otherwise, he would not be allowed to verify his identity.

but……

Zhang Ziwen wanted to go forward and pick the prisoner's hair to have a look.Suddenly he became alert, his eyes froze, and cold sweat broke out behind his back.

Quickly turned around and walked back to the supervisory seat.

"Can it be verified?" Shui Rong asked with a smile.He was naturally happy to make friends with this kind of Qinggui, a young man who was born in the number one scholar and was determined to make progress.

Zhang Ziwen glanced at Wu Zi, who was laughing beside him, and said respectfully, "Go back to your lord, it has been proven."

"it is good."

Shui Rong didn't say any more, and pulled out a command arrow from the bucket in front of him, and threw it down.

"cut!"

"There are assassins!!"

As soon as Shui Rong finished speaking, there was a commotion among the surrounding people.Then I saw two women with swords breaking through the defense line of officers and soldiers, and came towards the middle.

"Protect the lord!!"

"Protect adults!"

Shui Rong and Wu Zihao's guards immediately guarded in front of the beheading seat.

The sound of fighting came from bang bang bang bang bang bang bang, it was obvious that the comer was quite skilled.

This sudden turn of events would have panicked an ordinary supervisor and beheader.In the prosperous age, the tribulation of the law field is big news!
