"Hurry up!" Figures with hair splattered and blood all over their bodies were tied up with ropes, pulled, pushed, and led onto the execution platform in a state of embarrassment.
Liu Dao was squeezed into the crowd, and no one could recognize him because of his full beard.
He stared hard at the congregation walking on the execution platform, and the anger in his heart was almost satisfied.
It was he who arranged for these people to be sent back to his home one by one.
Even the earliest, he personally selected these people and sent them to the mountains to receive training for several years.
But now, Liu Dao had to watch these men being beheaded on the spot, but he couldn't do anything.
He can't do it.
He raised his head and saw the execution platform in front of him. Dongyang County Prime Minister Gu Tan, Dongyang County Lieutenant Kangyao and others were all standing there, whispering to each other as if they were waiting for the arrival of noon.
Withdrawing his gaze, Liu Dao looked around.
Now, facing this Xing Massacre, almost one-third of the people in Dongyang have come here.
It was crowded inside and out.
Among them, nearly half are followers of the Tianyin Goddess.
In fact, in Dongyang County, the number of believers of Tianyin Goddess among the residents of the entire county does not have much advantage.
After all, this is a county town, and those who can live in the county town will not have a bad family background.
Only those at the bottom who are really miserable are the ones who are most likely to become followers of the goddess Tianyin.
Although there is less than half of them here today, they are almost the total number of Tianyin believers in Dongyang.
As long as he can completely arouse the anger in the hearts of the people, Liu Dao can use this anger to completely bulldoze the entire Dongyang.
Liu Dao's eyes passed over the faces of many people. He had actually seen quite a few of these people at the moment.
It's a pity that almost no one knows him in return.
This is not surprising. Liu Dao has never shown his true face during church gatherings in the past.
Just to prevent the government officials from following his lead and catching him.
Likewise, he didn't want any of his fellow sect members to be caught by the government and tortured because they knew his identity.
Therefore, it is not easy for Liu Dao to gather these believers in front of him and then lead them to rush to the high platform to save people.
But it's not too difficult. There is a unified method of communication in the religion. As long as they use hand techniques, they can confirm each other.
Liu Dao looked around behind him. A dozen guards were protecting him, carefully separating him from others. Chinese website
Entering the city today, knowing that the risk was very high, why did Liu Dao let his father enter the city alone? How could he not bring enough guards.
Under a set of code words, Liu Dao had already conveyed the order silently.
Half of the surrounding guards immediately dispersed to contact the others, and then waited for the opportunity to kill him on the execution platform in one fell swoop.
At this moment, carriages covered with felt cloth were pulled in from one side of the market by the county government.
Before they even got close, everyone could smell the smell of blood.
Before the carriage had stopped and the felt cloth had not been lifted, a bloody arm had already slipped out of the felt cloth.
Everyone who saw this scene was stunned, and then fell silent immediately.
The corpses under the felt were undoubtedly the elites of the Tianyin Sect who were massacred by officers and soldiers last night.
And their parents and brothers.
Not everyone will choose to surrender under the knife.
Although Li Xuan's method last night did work in some places, in some places it met with resolute and crazy resistance. The final result was bloody killings.
One corpse after another was lifted off the carriage, revealing the bloody faces underneath.
All these people were placed on the execution platform like this, and there were also people who were pulled there with their heads hanging down and disheveled.
The guy who exudes a face that cannot be seen.
"Quiet!" A majestic voice suddenly sounded from the high platform in front.
Then, a burly figure walked out expressionlessly.
Wei Kangyao of Dongyang County.
Wearing a light blue official robe, Kang Yao held a white list in his right hand and walked to the center of the high platform with a solemn expression.
Behind him were a group of criminals covered in black cloth who were about to be beheaded. In front of them was a pile of bloody corpses lying flat on the ground.
Under the high platform further ahead, nearly a thousand Dongyang residents were looking at Kang Yao and the corpse on the ground with complicated expressions.
Last night, the officials in Dongyang County searched almost every place.
Anyone on the list was immediately arrested and handcuffed and shackled in an instant.
That was okay. When the family members of the prisoners came to stop them, they immediately handcuffed the family members of the prisoners.
If there are not many family members of the prisoner and all of them have been handcuffed, the officials and soldiers will leave immediately.
But if the prisoner has many family members and is only begging for mercy without being handcuffed, at this time, the officials and detectives will take out all the portraits, sculptures, and stone carvings of the Goddess Tianyin that were previously found.
If the offender's family is willing to insult these Tianyin goddess statues, then their crime of sitting together will be reduced by one level.
If they are unwilling to insult these Tianyin goddess statues, those who speak fiercely or even can't help but take action will be arrested directly; those who speak softly and just beg for mercy, they will just temporarily lock them up at home, waiting for subsequent disposal.
Therefore, although the number of Tianyin believers who came today is not very large, it is actually the total number of Tianyin believers in Dongyang County.
For the rest, basically everyone who could be locked up was locked up. If they were not locked up, they had all been killed.
These are the ones on the ground.
How could they, who were neighbors in the same neighborhood, not know what was going on?
Looking at the complicated expressions on the faces of each audience member, Kang Yao said with a cold face: "Today, Tianyin believers are causing trouble in Dongyang. On the orders of the Dongyang County Magistrate, who is leaving Wuzhou, all the captured Tianyin believers will be beheaded. Kill the Tianyin believers and expose their corpses for three days."
The air in the entire vegetable market seemed to be completely stagnant. No one spoke, and no one even said a word.
At this time, Kang Yao turned around, looked at Gu Tan on the high platform, and reported in a deep voice: "Report to the county magistrate, there are 17 criminals today, and I have been ordered to behead them today as a warning to others."
"Yes!" Gu Tan looked at Kang Yao with calm eyes and nodded slightly.
"County Magistrate," a figure stood up from the other side, looked at Gu Tan and said with cupped hands: "Reporting to the County Magistrate, according to Yonghui's laws, criminals have the right to appeal once. Even criminals who conspire against others have the right to appeal once. .”
The person who spoke was Xi Ying, a soldier who joined the army. Now he is inspecting the post of Dongyang Facao.
"Yun!" Gu Tan nodded lightly.
Liu Dao, who was under the high platform, frowned slightly as he watched this scene.
He is not an ordinary citizen who doesn't understand anything. Under normal circumstances, the imperial court is cautious about killing people. It has been reviewed many times by state and county magistrates, approved by the Ministry of Punishment, reviewed by Dali Temple, and approved by the emperor. These are all the procedures that should be followed.
At the beginning, Liu Dao thought the same as Li Xuan said.
The members of the Tianyin Sect rose up and rebelled, so everything was naturally handled according to wartime conditions, killing people to deter everyone.
However, now that he and Gu Tan were directing and acting there, Liu Dao felt that something was wrong.
"Bah!" The hair of the prisoner on the far left was pulled up, revealing a fierce face full of stubble.
Xu San, Xu San in the east of the city.
Not only did Liu Dao know Xu San, but many people at the scene actually knew Xu San.
"Xu Qi, 27 years old, male, third grade, lives in No. 4 Courtyard A, Kunshan Lane, Jinianfang, Dongyang City. He was summoned on suspicion of being a Tianyin rebel. During the summons, he attempted to commit murder and resisted. Later, he was found in his home After finding the portraits and stone carvings of the Goddess Tianyin, we passed through Wuzhou and drove to Dongyang County.
Order the verdict and make a decision. You may have something to defend. "
"In the afterlife, the sky is cloudy, but I only wish for light."
Xu San raised his head, looked at everyone with a solemn expression, and gritted his teeth and said: "Xu San is bright in his work. One is one, and two is two. If you want to kill, just kill, if you want to chop, just chop, don't talk nonsense."
"Do you have any unfulfilled wishes?" Kang Yao asked in a formal manner.
"Wish?" Xu San couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "I don't know, a certain old lady."
Kang Yao looked at Xu San with some pity, shook his head, and said coldly: "According to the rules: Sitting continuously, with a stick of eighty, the flow will be three thousand miles. Remembering his old age, with a stick of ten, the flow will be three hundred miles..."
"Let alone three hundred miles, even thirty miles, I will die." Hearing that my mother was going to be beaten ten times and flow three hundred miles, Xu San immediately became anxious and tried hard to crawl towards Kang Yao. : "Sir, can you let the villain be punished instead of my mother, and then execute the villain? Sir, please..."
"Now that you know you have to fulfill your filial piety, what did you do earlier? If you had known now, why would you bother provoking the Tianyin Sect?" Kang Yao glared at Xu San fiercely and shouted coldly: "It's too late!"
"It's too late, it's too late!" Xu San suddenly froze, his face dull, and two lines of cold water couldn't help but flow down his face.
Suddenly, Xu San tried hard to turn around, but he was tightly restrained by handcuffs and shackles. He could only move around hard, hit the stone slab hard, kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Sir, please, little one." Death is not a pity, but I cannot be sorry to my mother. Sir, please..."
Xu San kept wailing there for less than a quarter of an hour, and there was a lot of blood on his forehead, which was extremely miserable.
Only then did Kang Yao raise his hand and stop Xu San: "There is no way to do it. For the sake of your filial piety, over there."
Kang Yao pointed at the stone carvings, portraits and other objects of Tianyin Goddess over there, and said coldly: "If you want to save your mother, and if you want everyone in your family to be free from the sin of sitting together, you must completely fight against the rebellion." The severance of relations..."
"Villain, villain..." After making a difficult choice, Xu San's face turned green and white. He turned his head and looked at the people in the audience. There were many Tianyin cultists here, but at this time, there were no People say a few more words for him,
Finally, Xu San fell to the ground helplessly and begged: "For my mother, I am willing."
There was a small uproar in the crowd for a moment, but the sound soon became muffled.
Although many people in the Tianyin Sect knew that what Xu San did was wrong, they did not criticize him too harshly.
Filial piety is one of the great principles in the world.
However, Liu Dao among the crowd felt more and more something was wrong.
"Come here, help him up." Kang Yao waved his hand, and a soldier immediately came over and helped Xu San to the pile of statues.
Kang Yao looked at Xu San with a half-smile, and then whispered something. Xu San's expression changed instantly.
Everyone saw the change in Xu San's face, but they didn't know what Kang Yao actually said. In the next moment, they suddenly saw Xu San being unshackled, and then...then he untied his belt himself. …
"Wow..." Xu San actually peed directly on the Tianyin goddess statue in front of nearly a thousand people at Caishikou.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and their eyes subconsciously turned to Kang Yao who was standing on one side.
Seeing this scene, Kang Yao sneered on his face, then walked to the side of the other prisoners and asked coldly: "I am asking, you guys, are there any who are willing to repent..."
