"Death is imminent, what's the point of saying this? Does it still matter whether Huang Yijian is a member of your rebel army?
No, it doesn't matter at all. As long as we think he is, then it's also true that he isn't. As for what the truth is, it doesn't matter to us at all. "
Governor Li had a sarcastic look on his face, looked at the leader of the thieves kneeling on the execution platform below, and said calmly.
"Captain Li, don't forget who is helping you this time!"
Eunuch Zhang reminded from the side.
"Of course, I will never forget the kindness shown to Master Gao Hai this time. I will pay more tribute to Master Gao in the future and follow Master Gao more often in the court. As for the stolen goods seized this time, I have already paid tribute to Eunuch Zhang." And Mr. Gao is ready."
Governor Li pointed to a series of transport trucks in the south and said to Eunuch Zhang with a smile.
This banditry crisis was a bit thrilling, but the rewards after solving it were also very rich.
In particular, the fishermen and peasants rebel army attacked many wealthy gentry and wealthy households in Guangjian Province before being dealt with.
After the defeat was resolved, all these gains were accepted by him.
Although a large part of the harvest needs to be given to Gao Hai, the rest is enough to feed him to the fullest.
Sure enough, compared to tossing the bottom of Kuhaha, those landlords and gentry who have been in this land for many years are the fat sheep.
It's a pity that those guys are closely related to the civil servants, and some are even connected to the eunuch group. Normally, I can't touch them.
And just when Governor Li was thinking about raising a team of bandits in the future to rob wealthy gentry and wealthy households if he needed it, Eunuch Zhang looked at the gloomy sky and said, "Now It’s getting late, and it looks like a storm is coming, so it will be a long night with many dreams, so let’s order the execution!”
"Okay, listen to Eunuch Zhang."
Governor Li responded and issued the execution order.
The executioner who received the order at the scene escorted the principal criminal to be beheaded to the beheading platform.
The current legal and criminal laws of the Chinese Federation are still continuation of the ancient criminal laws.
Those who commit the serious crime of beheading are usually beheaded starting with the principal offender.
The main criminal's wife and children had no biography, so they were beheaded together with the main criminal.
After taking a sip of wine, the executioner sprayed it on the beheading knife.
“Every wrongdoer has his own debtor, so don’t look back on the road to hell!”
After the executioners finished saying this routine jargon before beheading, they all raised their beheading swords.
"Boom~"
A dazzling thunderbolt lit up from the dark clouds, and a huge sound rang out.
"cut!"
As Governor Li's orders came down from the high platform, the herald on the execution ground also shouted to the executioners.
But a breath or two passed, and all the executioners were just holding their beheading swords high and did not obey orders.
The herald took one look and thought that the shout he had just made was drowned out by the thunder, so he shouted again: "Behead!"
This time, there was no thunder, but everyone remained motionless.
"What are you doing? Didn't you hear the order?"
The herald cursed.
"Sir, it's not that we don't want to kill him, it's that we can't kill him!"
A thin layer of cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of many executioners. Although they had always believed in ghosts and gods, who had ever encountered a situation like this before?
Herald: "?!"
"What are those guys doing?"
Governor Li on the high platform noticed something unusual below and couldn't help but question the people below.
"Your Majesty, the executioners said..."
"What are you talking about? Stop hesitating and tell me quickly!"
"They said there were ghosts and gods at work, and their knives couldn't cut it."
Hearing this, everyone on the stage was stunned.
"Absurd, how could such a thing happen?!"
Eunuch Zhang said he never believed in ghosts and gods.
"That's right, let them take action quickly, otherwise, don't blame the governor!"
Governor Li said a little rudely. The person reporting the report did not dare to say anything and passed on the order.
On Xingtai, the man who thought he was going to die found that the beheading knife had not fallen.
When he turned his head, he saw the executioner with a pale face, holding up a big knife with a fearful look.
"Listen carefully, if you don't carry out the beheading, the Governor will punish you!"
The herald ran over and conveyed to the executioners the words of his lord above.
"It's not that we won't cut them down, it's just that these prisoners are protected by ghosts and gods, so we really can't cut them down!"
The leading executioner was about to cry. He couldn't put down the knife easily after he had raised it, otherwise he would be regarded as someone who flouted the laws of the execution ground and the imperial power. But if they wanted to cut, they couldn't cut, so they could only stand in a stalemate.
"Hahaha, did you hear that? We are protected by ghosts and gods. They can't kill us. The sky really has eyes!"
After hearing what was going on, Wang Meng, who was kneeling in front of the guillotine, burst out laughing.
"I am not a ghost or a god, nor am I the heaven of your world, but I am protecting you."
A voice came from the sky, interrupting Wang Meng's laughter.
"My name is Wu Ke, nicknamed SD, and I am the messenger of justice who has just come to this world."
Wu Ke lowered his altitude and floated down.
"Does anyone know what the situation is here, and who is calling for justice?"
He asked directly to everyone present.
"Wait a minute, what is that, a person with empty emptiness?"
Governor Li opened his mouth wide, and many people, like him, stared blankly at the figure floating in the sky.
"spirits?!"
The executioner almost fell to his knees.
"The guy who is pretending to be a ghost must have an aircraft under his feet. Don't be intimidated by the guy in the sky. Shoot him down quickly."
A firm materialist, Eunuch Zhang said domineeringly.
"My father-in-law is right, quickly knock down that man in the sky!"
Although Governor Li was a little superstitious, he confessed after Wu Ke showed up that he had protected the rebels.
So, regardless of whether the opponent is a ghost or not, just greet him with hot weapon bullets first.
After hearing the order, a group of soldiers below took out their guns, bang bang bang, aimed at the people floating in the sky and shot.
Inside, there are even large-caliber cannonballs from mechas.
"Well, that's a lot easier."
Looking at the bullets appearing densely in front of him, Wu Ke shrugged.
The next moment, someone else appeared on the high platform.
Governor Li looked at the person who suddenly appeared in front of him in shock, and subconsciously wanted to take out his gun.
"Tell me what happened here!"
But Wu Ke made this man completely lose all ability to resist with just one sentence.
"yes!"
Governor Li stood at attention like a soldier, his mental state had completely fallen into a manipulated situation, and he told all the recent events in Guangjian Province in detail.
This includes, but is not limited to, his own embezzlement of money allocated by the imperial court for the construction of dams, unreasonable high taxes enacted overnight and the creation of compensation for work, and the collusion of the eunuch group.
There are also officials below who are asking for money, cooperating with grain merchants in Guangjian Province to resell labor rations, and eventually cause the government to force the people to rebel...
"Wait a minute, do you know about reselling labor rations?"
Wu Ke suddenly interrupted and asked.
"I don't know. I had no intention of forcing anyone to rebel. It was the officials below who went too far. They are all a bunch of idiots..."
In a state of mental manipulation, Governor Li showed the truest reaction in his heart without any intention of hiding his feelings.
"However, this also allowed me to see a way to make money..."
And he even explained in detail his idea of raising the bandits' self-respect and controlling the banditry to rob wealthy households in the future.
"You are such a talent!"
"Thanks for the compliment."
Under the control, Governor Li was a little embarrassed and said with a smile.
"I didn't mean to praise you!"
Wu Ke was speechless.
"As for what he just said, does any of you here want to add anything to add?"
Turning his head, Wu Ke asked a group of people sitting firmly around him.
"We framed Huang Yijian. He himself is not guilty. It was us who framed Zhongliang."
Eunuch Zhang just made a fool of himself and filled in the missing parts.
"you you……"
Governor Li, who had been released from mind control, looked at Eunuch Zhang with some horror as he honestly explained the matter.
This man wanted to move but couldn't. He just sat there like the people around him.
Not just the people on stage, but also the people under the stage.
Their bodies seemed to be solidified, each of them maintaining their original movements and postures.
Only their eyes widened and their eyeballs moved around in their sockets, proving the panic in their hearts.
Wu Ke floated to the execution platform and untied Huang Yijian and his granddaughter under the watchful eyes of the prisoners who were supposed to be executed and the executioners.
"grandfather……"
The little girl threw herself into her grandfather's arms in horror. Apparently, she was still haunted by the fact that she was almost beheaded just now.
"Don't be afraid, it's okay, it's okay."
While Huang Yijian was comforting his granddaughter, he looked at the person who was rescuing them, Wu Ke.
"Thank you sir for your life-saving grace. I can't repay you for your kindness..."
Huang Yijian cautiously thanked him.
"You're welcome. You're the one who called me here, so you should."
Wu Ke waved his hand and said.
"God, if you really have eyes..."
The updated system panel has improved in locating help seekers. Wu Ke is a bit old-fashioned, but he only realized it later. On the system panel he clicked now, he was calling back to the old man in front of him. What was he using? What kind of call is delivered to the door of justice.
But I really can't blame him for forgetting this ability. After all, Xiao Zhengyi really has no sense of existence. The convenience provided by the other party always broke easily when used in the past.
"Uh, so, are you really Cangtian?"
Huang Yijian asked with some surprise. He used to believe that there was a god standing three feet above his head. However, it was more of a psychological comfort, prompting him to be a principled person. If you can do justice to the emperor, you can do justice to the common people.
However, Huang Yijian really never thought that when he was about to be framed and executed, there would be such a tall and mighty man. Because of his unwilling call, he fell from the sky. Although the other party did not have colorful auspicious clouds under his feet, he still Saved himself and his granddaughter.
"I have already said that I am not the heaven of your world, but a messenger of justice who has traveled through this world."
Wu Ke replied seriously that he has always been open-minded and not secretive about those who call for justice.
At this moment, another bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, and the sound of thunder rumbled over.
On the black and gray clouds, water droplets condensed, and a violent storm came.
A raindrop fell from the sky and hit the little girl's nose. The chill of the raindrop made her body in the thin prison uniform tremble.
Wu Ke glanced at the sky above his head, and the next moment the dark clouds were dispersed by an invisible force.
Yes, this is the kind of strangeness that others can completely see. It was clear that black clouds were overwhelming the city just now, but suddenly a huge hole appeared in the sky above their heads.
The sun shone through the hole, it was called a clear day, and brought warmth to all the people wearing prison uniforms present. Everyone looked at him blankly.
No one would be stupid enough to regard this weather change as a natural phenomenon. After all, except here, it was still dark outside, and large raindrops were already pouring down from the dark clouds with flashes of thunder and lightning.
"Next, it's time to deal with things here. Does anyone have any suggestions?"
Wu Ke asked, his voice was very soft, but everyone could hear it.
Embezzling money from Mo Mo, revolting and revolting, framed Zhongliang...
These are all ordinary, old-fashioned things.
Wu Ke felt that he had to listen to the opinions of some of the parties present in this world.
Who should be dealt with, who can be spared for correction, and who can be let go directly.
These are all matters that require taking the opinions of all parties before making a decision.
After all, most of the world is not black and white, but a mixture of black and white. If you make random choices, there will be a lot of people to deal with.
Others may not have the power to deal with so many people, but Wu Ke feels that he can still do it, so he must be cautious in handling things here.
"Sir, we are laborers, it's the world and the government that won't let us live..."
Wang Meng was the first to speak.
"I know, I know, I already understand these things. Your uprising is really helpless. I recognize the justice of your behavior."
"However, I heard that you have robbed a lot of rich and powerful people. Well, forget about those who are unkind for the sake of wealth, such as those who sell your rations. But I want to ask if any kind-hearted people have been attacked by you?"
Wu Ke asked directly.
"Ah, this..."
It should have been a casual assurance that he could make with his chest raised, but under Wu Ke's gaze, Wang Meng didn't know how to answer for a while.
"If it's just me who knows, then absolutely not!"
Chen Tiezhu, on the other hand, puffed up his chest and answered Wu Ke's words in an upright manner.
