Chapter 357

Early the next morning.

Caishikou is very lively, and it used to be very lively here, Caishikou, but today is different, most people come here not to sell vegetables, but to kill people.

I saw several prison cars pulling the prisoners straight to Caishikou.

Now is the time when autumn and winter alternate, everything is depressed, the vegetation is withered, and when the cool wind blows in the street, the ears feel as if they are about to freeze, and it hurts from the cold.

Especially in this part of the capital, stoves are being fired from every house to house.

People have already started spending money to stockpile coal for the winter.

At the entrance of the vegetable market, several women were standing there waiting with baskets in their hands.

Not long after, several prisoners were taken to the execution ground. In the cold weather, the prisoners had only a thin layer of single clothes on their bodies, and their bodies began to tremble uncontrollably as they knelt on the ground.

The window on the second floor of the tea house is the best place to watch the execution, and the view is wide. Usually, when the execution is carried out, there must be a sea of ​​people here.

It even happened that there were too many people lying on the fence, which caused the fence to break, causing many tragedies of casualties.

In reality, this store would have been turned upside down long ago, but the funny thing is that in this era, everyone just thinks it was just an accident, and the store just paid a sum of medical expenses and it's over.

But today there are only three people sitting there, there is no other reason, Xu Tong has rounded up this floor, and being rich is so capricious.

At first there were a few who were not convinced, but when they heard that Ma Hongwen was the one who reserved the room, they turned around and left in despair.

Ma Qi was promoted again. Since Xiang Gongbao became the chief minister of military affairs, as a vassal of the Xiang family, Ma Qi, who was in charge of the [-] forbidden army, was finally promoted to the right position and became a veritable admiral of the nine sects.

As for the last Admiral of the Nine Gates? ?
No, there is kneeling at the entrance of the vegetable market below. The crimes of corruption, accepting bribes, disregarding human life, covering up the Red Lantern Sect to set fire to murder, etc., any one of them is enough for this big man to die.

But he was taken to Caishikou, was it really because of these crimes? ?
Obviously not.

After I got home yesterday, I heard from my father, Ma Qi, that this position was exchanged between the Xiang family and Prince Rong, what would I get for it?March didn't say.

However, the admiral of the Nine Gates was put on Caishikou not only because of his passive position.

Xu Tong recalled last night, Ma Qi's face was half-bright and half-hidden under the oil lamp.

"When a farmer has money, the first thing he does is throw away his hoe and put on clean clothes to cut off his past. The poor tools are thrown into the garbage dump, and they don't understand why they are thrown away. "

"Injustice!!"

The middle-aged man imprisoned on the execution platform shouted hoarsely, but no one redressed him, and all he got was a heartless mouth and a stinking rag.

"So, your side mission is completed??"

Xu Tong picked up a cup of hot tea and took a sip, while holding the tobacco rod in the other hand, he smoked it unhurriedly, the smoke cloud lingered around, and the smoke cloud after being warmed by the chimney was inhaled into the mouth. flavor.

Gao Zhuo glanced at the steward kneeling at the entrance of the vegetable market, and nodded emphatically: "It's done, there should be a follow-up, but I don't want to do it."

The follow-up he was referring to was naturally the person locked in the dungeon.

This person used to be the head of the White Lotus Sect, and he came to the capital to find a few brothers who had accomplished academics to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty.

Who would have thought that the group of brothers and sisters back then have now served as military officers, and they are honest local officials, and they can be regarded as prominent.

Man, as long as life is good, who the hell wants to rebel.

What's more, now that they have a serious identity, they are even less willing to be rebels. As a result, several people set up a trap and arrested this guy.

You want to say why not hand over the man to the government?
This is a rebellion. If you hand over someone to the government, not only will you fail, but even the martial arts school will be implicated.

The official career of these people is over.

Besides, the White Lotus Sect is not easy to provoke. If this group of people knew that their hall master had been murdered, they would not come to the capital with a knife.

After thinking about it, neither the government nor the White Lotus Sect can afford to offend her.

But people can't just let it go, otherwise there will be endless troubles.

So as soon as they discussed it, they locked him in the dungeon. According to the task flow, if Gao Zhuo released him, there might be follow-up tasks.

Gao Zhuo didn't let him go, and now he's still staying inside. As for when he will starve to death, that's not something he's considering.

Xu Tong nodded: "It's fine if you don't let it go, I have my current status, and we don't need to waste energy on those side tasks."

After speaking, he took out a note and handed it to Wang Zheng: "This is the address of the champion martial artist you are looking for. Let's go and have a look later."

Wang Zheng narrowed his eyes, took the note, glanced at the address, and smiled brightly.

Then take out the corpses from the item book.

"Since there are no tasks, don't waste your time. You can do whatever you want with these corpses."

After finishing speaking, he pointed to the big box: "Only the corpse inside here, you can figure out for me what is going on with this corpse."

"hiss!!"

Gao Zhuo looked at the corpses all over the floor, his eyes were straightened.

The other corpses didn't matter, only the monk Huiyuan's corpse almost made Gao Zhuo so excited.

A half-step grand master, to Gao Zhuo, this is simply a priceless treasure.

Rare than the emperor's concubine.

"Hahaha, get rich, get rich."

If it wasn't for Wang Zheng still sitting at the side, Gao Zhuo might not be able to resist rushing forward to kiss Xu Tong hard.

A half-step grand master is also a great master. Even if they join forces, they may be able to kill a half-step grand master, but the question is, can the body be preserved so intact? ?
Gao Zhuo excitedly put away all the corpses. As for the big box, he paid special attention to it. After opening it and looking at the corpses folded like rice dumplings, he frowned, planning to find a place to study it.

"Wangzhuang Village, thirty miles outside the city, is the land of the Ma family. I have told the housekeeper, you can go and live there temporarily. There are few people there, so you can do whatever you like. This place There is no condition to set up a corpse refining site for you."

Xu Tong had already made arrangements, so Gao Zhuo was naturally happy, and picked up the key on the table and put it into his arms.

"It's time!!"

There was a loud cry on the execution ground, and a row of executioners came forward with knives in their hands.

As soon as these executioners came to the stage, they seemed to be born with a terrifying aura, which made everyone present shut their mouths involuntarily.

murderous look!
However, different from the murderous aura of ordinary people, Xu Tong looked at them with the help of the eye of fate, and found that the murderous aura on them was actually full of compassion.

The line of executioner is itself considered a sinister line.

It is said that killing is nothing more than nodding the head. The wonderful part of the executioner's practice lies in this sentence, which is a clean break.

What was broken was the head, but also the injustice and the unresolved resentment.

Therefore, their killings are somewhat different from ordinary killings, and they occasionally encounter some strange prisoners of all kinds.

If the skills are not enough, and people will die continuously with one blow, then the trouble will be serious.

"Injustice!!"

When they were about to die, the minds of those being imprisoned on the execution platform were already in a ball of fear. At this time, they dared to say anything, but they couldn't say anything.

A sip of realgar liquor was sprayed on the shining big knife, and Xu Tong could even see that the blade of the blade glowed a dazzling red under the influence of the liquor.

"cut!"

The voice fell, and the swords were chopped down in unison.

"Pfft!" A huge head rolled on the ground.

Blood sprayed into the wooden basin that was put down early.

Xu Tong squinted his eyes and saw a special breath, which merged into the bodies of these executioners the moment the heads fell to the ground.

It's hard to say whether this smell is good or bad. The good thing is that this kind of people will not encounter ghosts even if they walk at night every night, and even their neighbors can follow suit.

Ghosts and gods retreat wherever they pass.

But the bad thing is that even if such a person does not have a master to introduce him to the door, he cannot escape the shackles of three disadvantages and five defects, either he will not die well, or he will have no heirs.

Even if there is some floating money, there is only three meals to eat, and it is difficult to have a road to promotion.

"Quick, while it's hot!!"

The women guarding outside the execution ground rushed in, and the officials didn't stop them when they saw this. They rushed in and took out a sum of money to the executioner.

That's steamed bread money, and it can be regarded as an income that the executioner can do aboveboard.

Lifting the bamboo basket in his hand, he took out the white steamed buns.

White flour is a rare commodity these days, but they dipped the steamed buns in blood.

After the blood stained the steamed buns, it turned disgustingly red.

But these women don't care about this. In their eyes, these steamed buns stained with blood are life-saving medicine.

An old woman held up a blood-stained steamed bun, turned around and ran away. The fresh blood was still steaming in the cold winter. The old woman chanted while running: "My son is saved, my son is saved!" It's..."

Is there really any help? ?
Xu Tong glanced at those steamed buns and shook his head regretfully.

It still reminded him of that sentence.

"Smash the real Buddha and get rid of the demons in your heart"

It's just that under the background of this era, the real Buddha is also the real demon. From imperial power to folk customs, the manipulation of power is pervasive.

In their view, this is just a kind of spiritual sustenance and comfort for the people in deep misery. Although it is despicable, it is merciless.

It’s just that Xu Tong doesn’t see it that way. In his view, this kind of compassion is like a steamed bun stained with human blood. There are only two words inside and out: “Eating people!”
