Seeing the people in front of the execution platform talking louder and louder, Yuan Chuang, a servant beside Magistrate Gu, asked: "Master, this..."
Seeing Yuan Chuang only speaking half of his words, Magistrate Gu Jiantong whispered: "Let them say it." After saying this, looking at the people in front of him who had not yet been executed, Magistrate Gu shouted: "Execution! "
As luck would have it, just after Magistrate Gu Jiantong shouted the execution, there was a sudden thunder in the air, which made Magistrate Gu Jiantong feel a little nervous in his heart, but there was no trace of panic on the outside, so he was very calm.
This thunder was not only heard by the prefect Gu Jian, but also by all the people at the execution ground, and also by the government officials standing beside the person who was about to be executed.
Because of this coincidental thunder, these government officials did not dare to swing their swords forward, waiting for the decision of the prefect Gu Jiantong.
Mr. Su, the largest of the Su family's clothiers among the crowd, laughed and said a few words: "What a coincidence! This thunder may be to cry out for everyone's injustice. As for whether Magistrate Gu has done anything wrong, He is the only one who knows. I believe that someone will redress this grievance for me, and if not, God will redress it for me!"
Master Su's words gave some comfort to the people who were about to be executed together.
After hearing these words, and looking at the government officials who had just stopped because of the thunder, the prefect Gu Jiantong shouted: "What are you doing standing still? Can't you hear me saying execution?! Execution!"
What a coincidence. As soon as the prefect Gu Jian Tong finished speaking, a bolt of lightning flashed in the western sky.
Just as the government officials were slashing at the crowd with their knives, a loud thunder echoed throughout the streets and alleys of Liangcheng Fucheng.
And these common people who were standing on the execution platform fell to the ground one by one, blood spilled on the ground, human corpses were intertwined, and specks of fresh blood were clearly visible on their clothes.
Seeing this look, the people in the audience who were watching the excitement couldn't bear to look at it.
Among this crowd were Li Xiang and his younger brother Li Yin.
Seeing this, his younger brother Li Yin looked at his elder sister Li Xiang with a confused face: "Sister, what mistake did they make to treat them like this?"
After hearing what her brother Li Yin said, her sister Li Xiang shook her head slightly, looked at the corpses lying scattered on the stage, looked at her brother Li Yin, and said, "Let's go."
I saw my sister Li Xiang holding the hand of my brother Li Yin and walking away.
Magistrate Gu Jiantong, who was sitting behind the execution platform, smiled slightly and looked at the servant Yuan Chuang standing aside.
"Now, no one in this city should be afraid of me, right?"
After listening to the master's voice, watching the people leaving one by one in front of the execution platform, and then looking at the faces, Yuan Chuang just replied.
"Master, now everyone in this city knows
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Knowing your majesty, no one would dare to go against you even if they borrow a hundred courages. "
After listening to Yuan Chuang's words, the prefect Gu Jiantong, who was sitting on the official hat chair, said with a smile on his face: "You kid, you know how to flatter me."
Hearing what the master said, servant Yuan Chuang laughed from ear to ear.
Looking at the day that was about to rain, Gu Jiantong said: "It's going to rain. I've finished my business, let's go." After saying this, Gu Jiantong stood up.
"Okay." Yuan Chuang responded and picked up the umbrella that had been prepared nearby.
Good guy, it was just like human nature today. By coincidence, Gu Jiantong only took four steps forward, and it started to rain that day.
Seeing the rain starting to fall, Yuan Chuang hurriedly opened the oil-paper umbrella in his hand, walked beside Gu Jiantong, and headed towards the government office holding the umbrella.
On the way back, servant Yuan Chuang thought about the scenes just before the execution, and felt more and more weird that his walking pace slowed down.
Maybe the prefect Gu Jiantong was also thinking about something, but the pace of his feet did not slow down, so much so that he walked out of the area covered by the umbrella in Yuan Chuang's hand and let himself get caught in the rain.
Because he was caught in the rain, the prefect Gu Jiantong stopped walking and looked at the figure of the servant Yuan Chuang who was missing from the left and right. When he looked back, he saw that the servant Yuan Chuang seemed to have lost his soul. Generally speaking, the walking pace is slow, and the two eyeballs are motionless, as if they are looking at the road but not like looking at the road.
"Yuan Chuang!" Magistrate Gu Jiantong shouted.
I don't know if it was raining so hard that Yuan Chuang couldn't hear the shouting or something else, but Yuan Chuang didn't respond, and he still looked like he had lost his soul.
Helpless, the prefect Gu Jiantong shouted again: "Yuan Chuang!"
At this time, Magistrate Gu increased his volume, and his servant Yuan Chuang finally heard Magistrate Gu's shout.
Seeing that the master was soaked in the rain, Yuan Chuang hurried forward and held the umbrella in his hand above the head of the prefect Gu Jiantong.
"Master, why are you walking so fast? Be careful of getting cold due to the rain." Yuan Chuang was concerned.
After listening to Yuan Chuang's words, Gu Jiantong's eyes widened and he looked towards Yuan Chuang: "You...what were you thinking just now?! Walking so slowly, I'm not even covered in the rain." Don’t know.”
After hearing this, Yuan Chuang understood that it was not the master who walked too fast, but that he was walking too slowly. Looking at the two eyes of the master who looked over, Yuan Chuang said truthfully: "Master, just now on the execution ground, the master of the Su family Is what you said true?"
"Which sentence?" Magistrate Gu asked.
"That's it... He believes that someone will redress his grievances for him. If not, God will redress for him." Yuan Chuang replied.
After listening to this and thinking for a moment, the prefect Gu Jiantong whispered: "This is what I want to say.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
But I don’t believe it. All these people are dead, who will help him redress his grievance? Asking God to apply for him is really a fool's errand. "
Seeing that the master didn't care, Yuan Chuang asked again: "The sound of thunder...?"
Gu Jiantong: "Don't worry, it's all just a coincidence. Let's go, there are many things to deal with in this government office."
I saw the two of them walking on the street holding oil-paper umbrellas, walking through the small pond formed by the raindrops and walking towards the government office.
Umbrellas don't seem to be insufficient. It can be said that two people can each use an umbrella. However, the prefect Gu Jiantong does not want to hold an umbrella himself, and the servant Yuan Chuang does not want to let the master get wet in the rain, so he has to use his own umbrella. Most of his umbrella was given to the prefect Gu Jiantong.
It seems that the prefect Gu Jiantong is a bit lazy and is not willing to hold an umbrella by himself.
In a blink of an eye, it was night.
Tonight, more than 20 lights were lost in Liangcheng City, and more than 20 fine fabrics were also lost.
For ordinary people, the loss of more than 20 cloth shops has little impact on them; for wealthy people, the loss of more than 20 cloth shops with good cloth means that they will have to choose clothes in the future. It takes hundreds of pieces to be satisfied; for the more than ten remaining cloth shops in the city, the business of the cloth shops will be very good from today on; for the prefect Gu Jiantong, the money will be earned after this.
At this moment, the owners of more than a dozen cloth houses were having a banquet in the Liangcheng Inn.
Of course, the person sitting in the first place was not the owner of any cloth shop or a businessman, but the prefect Gu Jiantong.
They were sitting in the best private room in Liangcheng Inn.
This elegant room can be described like this: no sound can be heard from the outside, and no sound can be heard from inside.
"Gu Zhifu, this trick of yours is really wonderful. In this way, the business of the cloth shops in Liangcheng Fucheng will be all our dozen cloth shops." The owner of a cloth shop said.
"Yes, if there is Magistrate Gu, we cloth shops still don't know when we will be able to turn around and make a lot of money." The owner of another cloth shop said.
Listening to these words of thanks and thinking that the money shared today is quite large, the prefect Gu Jiantong smiled and said: "What the hell. Without your help, this trick may not work."
"Tonight is the happiest day for you and me."
"Come on, come on, eat food, eat food!"
They saw the owners of more than a dozen cloth shops enjoying the banquet with the prefect Gu Jiantong and Yuan Chuang with faces full of joy.
This plan was not only the idea of the prefect Gu Jiantong, but also the idea of more than a dozen cloth shops.
Even the delivery merchants who were trading at the dock yesterday were fake merchants who paid for their goods. When the government sent troops to encircle and suppress the merchants afterwards, it seemed that they were not careful, but in fact they deliberately allowed those fake merchants to escape.
