Xiang Ye's fall was not light, Li You quickly walked into the room, ran to his side and bent down to have a look, seeing him grinning, grinning and moaning in pain, Li You was slightly relieved He turned around and said to Mengsu: "What are you doing here? Xiang Zhuangshi was seriously injured just now, if you fall like this again, aren't you afraid that you will throw him into trouble?"

Meng Su lowered her head in embarrassment and pursed her lips. She knew very well that she was too excited and made a mistake after hearing that Zhao Tong was going to frame Li You, so she didn't speak out to defend herself, just like a child who did something wrong Usually stand aside.

Seeing Li You, Xiang Ye believed Meng Su's words, "It took a long time for the sheriff to rescue you", and he forced a smile on Li You and said, "My lord, I don't blame him for this matter." .”

It's okay if he didn't say that, as soon as he said this, Mengsu felt even more embarrassed, his cheeks flushed with embarrassment, and he almost dug a hole to get in.

"My lord, Zhao Tong wants to force me to give a false confession..." Xiang Ye glanced at Mengsu, then turned to look at Li You, just as he said that, Li You quickly waved his hand to stop him.

"Xiang Zhuangshi, I know everything you want to say. You can heal your wounds at ease. After a while, when you are healthy, I have one more thing to ask you." Li You pressed his hands on Xiang Ye's shoulders and bowed his head. Looking at him, from Li You's eyes, Xiang Ye could see a kind of inexplicable trust, which is a kind of trust that should not be shown to a person who has just met for a few days.

He didn't know what Li You wanted to ask him to do, but from Li You's expression, he could feel that what Li You wanted to entrust him this time must be very important, even more important than solving the cancer around Zhao Tong. more important.

Li You didn't say what he was going to entrust to Xiang Ye, so Xiang Ye naturally didn't want to ask, the two just looked at each other and smiled tacitly.Li You patted Xiang Ye's shoulder lightly and said: "Xiang Zhuang, take a good care of yourself for a while, remember not to move around at will, and don't leave the root of the disease."

After visiting Xiang Ye, Li You summoned a team of Qin troops, escorted the warriors captured from Zhao Tong's mansion, and rushed towards the square in the city.

It is said to be a square, but it is actually just a large open space. This open space was used as a temporary school ground and general command platform during wartime. When there was no war, it was the execution ground for beheading criminals.

After hearing the news that the sheriff personally escorted the prisoner to the square, many civilians opened their doors and walked out of their homes. The depressed city of Xingyang became lively for a while.

More than a dozen of Zhao Tong's guards were taken out of the cell by Qin Jun.When they walked out of the cell, they still had fantasies in their hearts, fantasizing that Zhao Tong would come forward to help them rescue them back.But the closer they got to the square under the escort of Qin Jun, the more uneasy these warriors felt.

When the soldiers of the Qin army pressed their shoulders to make them kneel on the square, and the people surrounding them pointed and said something to them, they realized that it was not Zhao Tong who came forward to save them, but Their time has come.

"Master County Sheriff, please spare me!" A timid warrior knelt on the ground, and when he saw the executioner approaching them with a dagger in his hand, he hurriedly shouted: "Those people are really not caught by villains!" Yes, it’s all Zhao Tong, he ordered us to do it! It’s he who wants those people to confess that the county magistrates colluded with bandits and intend to rebel, and want to frame the adults, but the villains are just obeying orders, adults, please forgive me!”

After the warrior shouted, Li You frowned, and impatiently waved to an officer beside him. After the officer approached, he whispered something in the officer's ear, and the officer nodded after listening. He nodded and walked towards the warrior.

"Well, you tricky traitor!" The officer approached the yelling warrior, raised his hand and slapped his big mouth, glaring at him angrily, and said, "You're dying, and you still want to deceive the governor! Mr. Zhao Who is he? How could he do such indecent things as you said? You have done evil, and seeing that death is inevitable, you want to frame Mr. Zhao before you die in exchange for a chance to live. It is really abominable! "

The samurai was slapped, he still didn't understand why he was beaten, he looked at the officer with aggrieved face and said: "Master, please help the villain to speak well in front of the county guard, we were indeed arrested under the orders of Zhao Tong. After killing those people, the villain is willing to testify against Zhao Tong for the governor, and I hope that the gentleman will spare the life of the villain!"

The officer sneered twice, didn't speak again, and didn't slap the warrior again. He just turned his head and walked back a few steps, and shouted to the surrounding people: "Fathers and elders, the governor of the county found Mr. Zhao Tong at the mansion a few days ago. A private prison where some elders were imprisoned. After investigation, Mr. Zhao didn't know about this matter. It was entirely these warriors who used the name of their master to do evil in private. Now this villain not only does not want to repent, but instead spouts blood , wanting to drag Mr. Zhao into the water, his sinister intentions cannot be punished! Your lord has an order, immediately show these villains to the public, and seek justice for the elders who were detained and killed!"

As soon as they heard that these warriors were going to be beheaded, the people onlookers suddenly became excited, and many people began to discuss in whispers. The topic of discussion was nothing more than whether Zhao Tong really wanted to frame Li You.

For such a result, Li You was very satisfied. After such a disturbance, even if Zhao Tong wanted to excuse those warriors, he would not be able to. Some face has to be taken into consideration.

But at the same time, after the quarrel made by the warriors, the civilians must have developed a lot of disgust towards Zhao Tong.Li You has extremely high prestige in Xingyang. The civilians and army in Xingyang trust him. In the eyes of the civilians and the army, Li You is a god-like existence who can lead them to victory after victory. Anyone who wants to harm him, the city The civilians and the military will not agree.Although there is no evidence to prove that Zhao Tong secretly wanted to frame Li You, the testimony of the warriors would make the civilians a little suspicious. In this way, Zhao Tong's actions in Xingyang would be watched by the whole city. Zhao Tong, who is under surveillance by the whole city's military and civilians, will definitely be cautious when he sends someone to hunt her down. The chances of Meng Su and Xiang Ye escaping safely are much greater than they are now.

"Kill!" After shouting to the civilians, the officer turned around and gestured to the executioner and shouted.

The executioner responded, and stood behind a warrior with a sword in his hand. He raised the sword and dropped it. Following a high spurt of blood, a head fell off the warrior's neck and rolled aside, lost. The body of the head fell to the ground with a bang.

"My lord, spare me!" The warrior who had shouted that Zhao Tong ordered them to do bad things before saw that his companion had been killed, and shouted again.

Li You frowned and gave him a disgusted look.The executioner raised his head, and after seeing Li You's eyes, he walked up to the warrior with interest, raised his dagger high, and slashed at the neck of the screaming warrior.

The samurai felt the wind blowing from the back of his neck, knowing that the executioner was attacking him, he quickly retracted his neck, the dagger that was cut quickly did not hit his neck, but hit the back of his head.

After the sound of "click", the warrior's hard skull was split open by the dagger, and blood splashed out immediately.But the sword did not cause fatal injuries to him. He screamed and struggled to get up, but the hands tied behind his back made it difficult for him to grasp his balance, and he was kicked from behind by the executioner and fell to the ground .

After kicking him to the ground, two Qin soldiers stepped forward and picked him up, forcing him to kneel on the ground again.

A soldier of the Qin army reached out and grabbed the warrior's hair bun, pulling his head upwards.The samurai desperately wanted to shrink his neck, but the hair bun pulled by the soldiers of the Qin army pulled his scalp, causing him unspeakable pain.He howled loudly and wanted to break free from the soldier's hand holding his hair bun. Just as he was holding on to the soldier, there was a sudden sharp pain in the back of his head, and the executioner hit the back of his head severely with the hilt of his sword.

The sword hilt was knocked on the back of the head, knocking the warrior unconscious immediately, and the Qin soldier who was holding his hair in a bun quickly pulled it hard, and this pulling woke up the warrior who had just fallen into a coma, and he was about to howl Ming shrank his neck, but suddenly felt a chill on his neck, and a bloody head was thrown out by the soldier who was holding his bun.

The blood-dripping head rolled and flew towards the crowd of onlookers. The crowd facing the head suddenly screamed and fled aside, and the square fell into a brief chaos.

An officer of the Qin army ran towards the head of the crowd with his eyes wide open after he landed. He picked it up with his hand, ran back to the square, and threw it beside the warrior's body.

After such a fuss, the crowd of onlookers retreated unconsciously, and no one wanted to be contaminated by the flying head from the sky.

The warriors kneeling on the ground bowed their heads one by one. The shocking scene just now made them completely lose hope of living. The only hope they have left is that the executioner can be quicker when he strikes, so that they will not die when they die. He suffered so much like the samurai just now.

After a brief riot, the square fell into silence. Except for the warriors kneeling on the square, everyone held their breath and looked at the blood-stained dagger in the executioner's hand.

The executioner licked his lips, calming down a little.The legal system of the Qin Dynasty was very strict. As an executioner, hundreds of souls died in his hands, but he had never encountered such a shocking beheading scene like today.

Even if he was a prisoner in the past, he had never felt so uneasy like today. The samurai's desire to survive was too strong. To kill such a person, even a full-time executioner would feel a little uneasy.

Standing in the square, Li You turned his face away, not looking at the corpses lying on the ground. He killed these warriors just to achieve the effect of knocking mountains and shaking tigers. He wanted Zhao Tong to understand that Li You had the final say in Xingyang. , if he dared to make an unacceptable move here, he would definitely take tough measures.
