Demon detective

Chapter 90 Explosion
The ninth day.

noon.

In the southern suburbs of Yanping County, on the bank of the Gu River.

In the wilderness on weekdays, today it is crowded with people, men, women and children from Yanping County.

Because, at [-]:[-] noon, Qiu Zhennong's head will fall here!
The common people want to see with their own eyes how this bully who caused disasters to the village and killed countless people ended his life.

Among the crowd, some people have already prepared gongs, drums and firecrackers in advance. When the execution is over, they will beat gongs and drums and set off firecrackers to celebrate.

At this moment, the execution time was approaching, the guillotine had already been prepared, and all the officials had already taken their seats.

This time, the Ministry of Punishment did send a censor over.

Tidian censors are also called criminal officials, who are mainly responsible for reviewing serious, important and unjust cases in various places.

However, to everyone's surprise, the censor who made the point was straightforward and low-key. He expressed his intentions as soon as they met, emphasizing that he was only here to supervise the case, and would not raise any opinions, let alone make any decisions. .

Therefore, in the next period of time, the censor who raised the point was completely a bystander, and only checked the case information and all the approval documents symbolically.

In addition, he lived in seclusion and seemed to avoid contact with local officials as much as possible. Sima Xin asked him for a good opportunity, but was declined.

Thus, Sima Xin and others gradually understood his brilliance.

That's right, behind Qiu Zhennong, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials always exists.

No matter what decision this censor makes, it is inevitable to think that he represents the meaning of the official minister?
However, this case happened to be a case hand-picked by the Holy Majesty. The Holy Majesty obviously did not want the case to be disturbed.

Therefore, it is not easy for him to be the imperial censor. He can neither disobey the emperor's will, but also try not to offend the minister of the Ministry of officials.

Therefore, coming here to be a dumb spectator is undoubtedly the best choice!

It seems that the officials from the holy capital are indeed human beings.

However, since they understood what they meant, Sima Xin and Cai Jin would naturally not be able to recite this cauldron, so they returned it all to the county magistrate Song Zhili.

At this time, Song Zhili didn't have the heart to care about Qiu Batian's life and death. He wanted to find his son and daughter quickly, so he immediately made a decision to set the execution date as today.

Officials at all levels not only have no opinion on this decision, but support it very much, because no matter who it is, they want to end this suffering as soon as possible.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the five condemned prisoners had already passed the test and were taken to the guillotine.

In addition to Qiu Zhennong, the culprit, there are also Kuai Peng and Qiu Bin who participated in the case of killing the family of the Pan family, and two other Qiu Batian's subordinates who were involved in multiple murders.

As for Qiu Batian's other accomplices, they were all given corresponding sentences according to the nature of their crimes.

However, the Pan Wending who killed Ailian, and Mrs. Wei Saina who killed Miss Wei Jiasan, have not yet been tried because they belonged to different cases.

The county government has so many things to do, and they can't take care of them now.

The guillotine was a little far away from the audience, and no one could clearly see what kind of expression Qiu Zhennong had at the moment.

I just saw from a distance that when he was put on the guillotine, his feet were almost hanging in the air. Fortunately, the executioner was strong enough.

Soon, the final preparations will be completed.

Holding the token of death penalty, Song Zhili first looked at the officials, and couldn't help but sigh.

I didn't expect that the one who threw the death penalty card in the end was me who was the youngest official present!

Song Zhili closed his eyes and thought, well, this is the end of the matter and there is no turning back.

Since you can't turn back, let's do it!
So, he suddenly opened his eyes and threw the token out.

The token fell to the ground, and the soul chasing cannon exploded instantly.

The executioner swung the knife down, and the head fell to the ground...

"it is good!"

"OK!!!"

"Whoa whoa……"

The crowd boiled instantly, the gongs and drums shook the sky, and the firecrackers blew together. The common people were excited, singing and dancing, and rejoicing.

During this period, a large number of victims who were deeply poisoned by Qiu Batian spontaneously knelt down in front of the officials, kowtowed and shouted "Song Qingtian"...

……

Two hours later.

All follow-up matters of the death penalty have been dealt with.

The prison envoy of the Ministry of Punishment also resigned very wisely, saying that he was busy with official duties and had to return to his command as soon as possible.

Everyone tacitly knew that he wanted to leave the place of right and wrong as soon as possible, and immediately sent him out of the city before returning to the county government.

However, just after entering the yamen, Sima Xin and Cai Jin's expressions changed dramatically.

Before he even had time to enter the inner hall to speak, Sima Xin impatiently took out a letter and almost threw it on Song Zhili's face.

"Take a good look! Are you satisfied now?" Sima Xin shouted coldly, "I told you earlier, Cui Xiaotian is not Qiu Batian, you can't afford to provoke him!"

Song Zhili naturally knew that the situation was not good, and immediately opened the letter tremblingly, but saw that it was an urgent secret letter written by Mr. Governor himself!
The content of the letter is only five words: "Release Cui Xiaotian quickly!!!"

The fewer words, the more serious the situation is.

"This... this..." Song Zhili held the secret letter, his legs were limp, and he was at a loss.

Chen Houlu hurriedly took advantage of the situation to take a look, and after seeing the five big characters clearly, he was also quite frightened.

The governor is the biggest official in the state capital, even if he speaks out in person, then Cui Xiaotian...it is naturally impossible not to let him go!
"Isn't it beautiful now?" Cai Jin scolded with his hands behind his back, "I tell you, don't play word games with us, if you let Cui Xiaotian go, you just let him go.

"His son, his subordinates, there must be one of them, let them all go!"

"Sigh, to meet such a bastard county magistrate like you, can be regarded as bad luck for eight lifetimes," Sima Xin pinched his waist with both hands, complaining non-stop, "I killed so many people of Cui Xiaotian, and I still don't know how to explain it later!
"Tell me in advance, I don't care, I have to push all the misunderstandings on you, you bear it yourself, hum!"

"Two... two adults..." Finally, Chen Houlu couldn't listen anymore, and begged, "Song County Magistrate, after all, someone tied up his child, please speak for him, beg for mercy!

"We...we have no choice but to...we are also confused..."

This time, Chen Houlu used the word "we" without any excuses.

And then, with a puff, he knelt down for the two senior officials.

"I beg you, County Magistrate Song is eager to save his son. He offended the two adults before, we... we can't make it up..."

"Oh! Why are you kneeling?" Cai Jin waved his hand to signal, "It's useless to say anything now, you have also seen the letter from Lord Inspector, hurry up and release him!"

"Yes yes yes..." Chen Houlu stood up quickly, nodded and bowed, "Let's go now, let's go and release people!"

As he said that, he hurriedly pulled Song Zhili, asking him to release the man with him.

However, he pulled it twice, only to find that Song Zhili did not move.

Ok?
Chen Houlu hurriedly looked at Song Zhili, and was suddenly taken aback, because he found that Song Zhili seemed to be a different person at this moment!

But seeing Song Zhili's face flushed, his fists clenched tightly, his body still trembling...

"Hey," Cai Jin urged, staring at Song Zhili, "Why are you still standing there? Go and release him!"

However, Song Zhili didn't realize it, and turned around like a walking corpse, facing the two high officials.

"You..." Sima Xin and Cai Jin were both taken aback, not knowing whether the county magistrate had suffered a stroke or an evil spirit.

"Heaven..." Suddenly, Song Zhili's eyes widened, staring like copper bells, and lamented with grief and indignation, "There is a saying in the Xuan Dao: If there is a way in the world, die with the way; if there is no way in the world, die with your body!
"I...I want to see if the Tao is in the sky or in people!? Hahahaha..."

In the next second, Song Zhili looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, laughing madly, as if the entire hall of the county yamen was darkened, and the wind was blowing up.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Song Zhili laughed ferociously, but tears fell down in the air.His face is distorted, but his tears are shining...

Sima Xin and Cai Jin not only looked stupid, but also looked a little hairy.

They never imagined that a weak civil servant could laugh with such a powerful aura, laugh so wickedly and insanely!

"He..." Cai Jin murmured, "Is he really crazy!?"

"Hahahaha... two adults," finally, Song Zhili stopped laughing wildly, tilted his head strangely, and said fiercely in his eyes, "Cui Xiaotian... I won't let you go!!!"
