The sun crept little by little toward the center above people's heads.
It rises in the east and sets in the west every day, shining on everything in the world, but it will not delay even a moment with any existence.
Hot, numb, and cold.
The people on the execution ground cried in despair and could no longer cry.
The people surrounding him crowded around silently, with gray sadness and anger in their eyes.
They want to overthrow the execution platform, as if they want to overthrow the injustice that the execution platform represents at this time. But they were all blocked by the soldiers with red eyes, and they were not allowed to even go up to feed the "prisoners" a mouthful of food or toast them a glass of wine.
Arrive at three quarters to noon!
The executioners, who were bare-chested, picked up the wine jars at their feet, took a swig of wine, sprayed it onto the shining swords in their hands, took a step forward, and stood beside the prisoners.
As the last grain of sand fell from the hourglass on the jailer's desk, he immediately stood up, took out a red sign with the word "cut" on it, raised his hand, and threw it onto the execution platform.
The executioners raised their swords with both hands, staring at the writ, waiting for it to fall to the ground and the official to make a sound, then they would raise the sword and drop it.
Suddenly a gust of wind blew.
The order was signed.
Then, they watched eagerly as the sign not only failed to land, but also flew into the air...
Everyone's heads were raised following the sign.
God's will?
The executioners' palms were slightly sweaty.
The supervisor's legs trembled slightly.
But the people were a little excited, and they all thought: God has finally opened his eyes!
I saw that the lotus suddenly turned around.
A figure stepped forward in the air.
He grabbed the stick and broke it in two pieces.
Then, everyone heard a crackling sound in the air: "Lord Di Yingdi is here!"
Di, Master Di? ?
Master Di! !
Master Di! ! ! !
The people on the execution platform all knelt down in an instant.
The executioners all knelt down. The knife in his hand also fell off.
The soldiers who were responsible for guarding the execution ground no longer bothered to stop the people against their will. They immediately followed the hand of the person signing the order and pointed it in the direction they were pointing. They all knelt down on one knee.
"Welcome Master Di!"
People...
It's boiling! ! !
The disappointment and confusion in his eyes were instantly replaced by excitement and ecstasy. They waved their arms, jumped on their feet, and shouted with all their strength: "Master Di is here! Master Di is here!! Master Di is here!!!"
The sound shook all the fields and resounded throughout the wilderness.
And the people in that direction had already moved out of the way with a huff.
Di Ying, who was at the back of the crowd, earnestly returned the salute to everyone, raising her hand to press it, returning the salute again, and pressing it again.
While walking to the execution platform, he said: "I am Di Ying, I am here, thank you folks for your love, I am late, sorry, sorry..."
This is Lord Di!
This is indeed Master Di! !
The people's eyes suddenly turned red. Many people even covered their mouths and endured the sobs in their throats.
At this time, all the emotions turned into tears of excitement, clearly reflecting that person and figure.
Di Ying stood on the high platform, once again clasped his hands, bowed slightly, and bowed in a circle to everyone.
He was single again and said in a mellow voice: "Folks, I am Di Ying. Previously, I heard that the Fenzhou government office was discussing matters that not only increased the amount of dozens of taxes, but also added a dozen extravagant taxes. tax items.
Your Lords Lian Jinglian and Huo Liangxue Huo therefore argued with reason and tried to stop this kind of exploiting the people in the cradle.
but failed. They resigned from office and abandoned their careers to fight against each other. But they still couldn't escape the clutches of some evil, corrupt, and dirty officials, who kidnapped them and their families directly here.
If they fail to go to trial regardless of questioning or trial, the heads of more than a hundred people will be chopped off here alive, for no reason, and for no reason.
Now, let me ask you, are the prisoners on this stage guilty? "
"Not guilty!"
"Not guilty!!"
"Not guilty!!!"
"..."
"Then let me ask you and them how to deal with it?"
"Let them go!"
"Let him go!!"
"Let them go!!!"
"..."
Di Ying smiled, clasped his hands behind his back, and raised his voice: "I pronounce the verdict: Anmu County Magistrate Lian Jing and his family; Hui County Magistrate Huo Liangxue and his family are all acquitted and returned to office. Go home!!”
"Return official position and return home!"
"Oh~~~~Oh!!!"
The people were shouting and roaring excitedly, their voices were hoarse and they still felt it was not powerful enough.
They all rushed to the stage, pulled out the death cards, untied the ropes, and helped the Lian and Huo families up one after another.
Coincidentally, he opened his eyes wide and looked at the person in the sun, who was more dazzling than the sun and seemed to be shining brightly.
Mr. Di...that is their Mr. Di...
It's great, he's here, he's really here, he's standing there, standing there alive.
Everyone covered their hearts and burst into tears, but they felt a sense of peace that they had never experienced before.
And that person, after waving goodbye to them, turned around and went to run again.
Watching his figure gradually disappear, the figure that remains in everyone's hearts becomes deeper and deeper.
…
Di Ying took Lian Jing and Huo Liangxue and opened the door of the government office.
When Wu Zhenguo heard the news, he had already led the government officials to greet him.
"Welcome to Mr. Di Xiangdi!" they bowed and shouted.
Wu Jingguo also had to bend his waist to 45 degrees. No matter how much he was a member of the Wu family, he had to bend down and lower his head when facing Mr. Di.
Di Ying walked straight past their heads. Then he waved his hand casually and said: "Get up. If I make you bend down again, I'm afraid you will have to collect the courtesy tax from me later."
Officials: "..."
Wu Jingguo hurriedly took two steps closer, nodded and bowed and said, "How can you do that? Prime Minister, you are joking."
Di Ying snorted softly, then suddenly stopped and turned around.
Wu Jingguo followed too closely and almost hit him without warning. He was so frightened that he twisted his ankle and fell sideways to the ground.
Di Ying frowned and glanced at him with disgust: "As a third-rank official of the imperial court, how unbecoming is it to be so unstable!"
"I, I know I'm wrong...ah!"
Wu Jingguo was hit by the big hat... he shivered and hurriedly tried to get up, but his ankle bone was sprained, and he screamed in pain.
Some officials: "..."
He quickly stepped forward to help.
Di Ying made a loud "hum" sound: "Are you very dissatisfied with me? Huh?!"
"No, no, I have not..."
The second big hat instantly made Wu Jingguo sweat like rain. I don’t know if it’s because I was scared or because it hurt.
He just wanted to explain: He didn't do it on purpose, he really didn't.
