Jin Tingjiao

Chapter 83

Shen Xi couldn't help himself in the school of fish, he tried his best to get to the side of the street, but he still moved forward with the current.

Is he Xu Jing or He Lanzhun?
The question kept rolling in her mind.

If he was really Xu Jing—with Xu Jing, what would she have to be afraid of!
A heavily guarded execution ground!
She has reached the periphery of the execution ground where the crowd is densely packed.

The big carriage that represented a special identity had stopped two feet away.

The door of the carriage opened, revealing a piece of cyan robe, and blue waves flew over the vermilion lacquered shaft. When the waves stopped, a man like sapphire was already standing in front of the carriage.

He was wrapped in jadeite around his waist and a jade crown on his head. As soon as he appeared, the surroundings were quiet. When his eyes swept across the crowd, countless gasping sounds followed.

He walked steadily towards the three seats on the high platform to the north.

Amidst the envious and amazed discussions all around, every step is like a lotus growing under one's feet, and between looking and looking, it is already peerless.

Shen Xi looked at this face and let out a deep breath.

...He is not Xu Jing.

Xu Jing is the red gold under the scorching sun, he shines everywhere no matter where he goes, he is the most dazzling young general.

And the man in front of him is a lake under the moonlight, he is clear and gentle, restrained and reserved.

He is not him.

She retreated into the crowd, holding on to the locust tree beside her, staring at the bustling world.

She should have thought earlier that it was Da Zhou, not Da Qin, and Xu Jing was already 70 or [-] years old, so he couldn't be him.

Even Xu Jing's descendants—the Xu family is also of pure Helian blood. Even if their descendants survive to this day, it is unlikely that they will become the confidants of King Tuoba.

Looking at it now, he and Xu Jing really only have a shell similarity.

But this shell was enough to make her overwhelmed with excitement when she first saw it.

He was her partner after all.

After all, she is alone right now.

"Get out of the way! The prison van is coming!"

At this moment, the shouts from the soldiers in the distance came again.

She looked intently, only to realize that the execution ground was full of people inside and out.

When she was a child, she secretly went near the execution ground with Xu Jing. At that time, she was the descendant of Zhan Huo Guo.

Back then, everyone shouted for killing, but the crowd watching scene was not as spectacular as it is now.

Moreover, most of the onlookers at this time were women and girls, and they were also talking about the officials who were imprisoned today.

"girl!"

Shen Xi was about to leave when Aunt Pei suddenly came to her side and grabbed her anxiously: "Why are you walking so fast?!"

Shen Xi patted her hand to show comfort.

"Let's go." She helped her up.

Right now, it is impossible to go out the same way, and the only way to leave is after the execution is over.

She took Aunt Pei to the outside to find a large willow tree where there were no people and stood still. There happened to be a boundary marker under the willow tree, where you could sit.

Da Zhou has killed many people in the past few years, presumably the common people have long since calmed down about executions.

This is the case in troubled times, and human life is worthless.

Killing a person is like killing a chicken or sheep.

The prison cars passed by one after another, and all the prisoners were detained, seven in total.

The prisoners were put in front of the guillotine, a whole row, just in front of Shen Xi.

Right now, there are not yet all the people on the execution platform, so it seems that the time has not yet come.

She suddenly thought that Shen Ruopu, as the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, should be present on this occasion today.

Thinking about it again, the execution of ordinary prisoners has to be postponed until after the autumn. Since the execution is immediate, it means that this case is not a small one.

Recalling the dossier that Shen Ruopu brought back to the mansion a few days ago with the emblems of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment printed on it, he couldn't help thinking to himself, could it be that he was handling this case at the time?
It is still the same sentence as before, the generals were supposed to be compensated not long after the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but at this time, seven men were killed in one fell swoop-if this didn't kill all the men, it would kill them together with the main culprit and accomplices!
What case is so serious?
She was wondering here, but the seven prisoners on the execution platform were already in place at this moment.

The gaze of the bearded man in the center accidentally fell on her face and stopped, but in a flash, his eyes suddenly opened wide!

Shen Xi frowned when he saw him!
It turned out to be the beard that the man in Qingshi Town avoided!
Seeing this face, without any hesitation, she turned around and quickly hid from the stele!

——The bearded man has murderous intent in his eyes!
really!The moment she turned around, the bearded man suddenly opened his mouth and spit out something at her!

That thing was only the size of a star, but it shone coldly under the scorching sun!

It's coming so swiftly that people feel their throats tighten just by looking at it!
"what!"

There were countless exclamations in the crowd!
No one thought that this death row prisoner actually had a hidden weapon in his mouth!
Shen Xi clearly didn't have time to think about it, and quickly retreated behind the safer big tree under the cover of the stone tablet!

At the same time, she saw with her own eyes a small stone suddenly flying towards the hidden weapon again!
There was a crackling sound in the air in front of the stele!The sparks from the strike splashed in all directions in mid-air, and fell to the ground at the same time as the iron ball that fell down!
The guards on the execution platform immediately flew over and held down the murderer.

Shen Xi quickly raised his head to look at the stage, only to see that the beard who was pressed against the guillotine was still gritting his teeth and looking at her!

"Are you scared?" Suddenly there was a warm and gentle voice in front of him.

She fixed her eyes, and the green robe fell on the grass in front of her. He Lanzhun, who looked like Xu Jing, squatted halfway in front of her, frowning slightly, looking at her with concern.

She shook her head, but after all she stared at him for a while, she got up with Aunt Pei's hand, saluted him, and then still stared at the murderer on the stage.

The murderer couldn't move.

She never knew this person, and she was sure that this person never knew her!Otherwise, he wouldn't have looked at him with such careless and frivolous eyes in the small alley in Qingshi Town that day.

But since he didn't know her, why did he kill her?
She was silent, and her mind was full of various questions that popped up suddenly.

He Lanzhun stared at her for a while, and said to the guards behind him, "Let them come over and sit down, so as not to be surprised."

Where can Shen Xi go at this time?
The only thing she could be related to with the beard was the man in common clothes. Could it be that he regarded her as one of his gang, so he took revenge on her temporarily?
If this is the case, what is the identity of the commoner man? !

Just as they were wondering, there was commotion at the other end of the crowd, only the sound of horseshoes whistling from far to near, the horseshoes trampling in the distance, dust flying like a river rushing, lakes and seas churning.

All the way in the world of mortals, a man in a black python robe with a dragon crown on his head and a red light straddling his body gallops across thousands of sentient beings with an unstoppable aura!

The crowd who were happily discussing on all sides had become quiet for some time, and all eyes were on him who was heading straight towards the execution platform, as if they couldn't see other people or things in their eyes!
