Ghostly Tomb

Chapter 1155 Death Room
After Chen Zhi got into the car, he found that Langtu was sitting in the back seat.

Langtu nodded respectfully to Chen Zhi, then waved his hand to signal the driver to drive.

Langtu's expression was very serious along the way, his face with oblique scars was black and black like a stone carving, his lips were tightly closed, and he didn't say a word along the way.

In the dull atmosphere, the car drove forward all the way, and finally drove into the destination. When it reached the gate of Xiqi King City, Langtu opened his mouth and said to Chen Zhi:

"Patriarch~~, you go in! The subordinates can't accompany you here.

The leader asked me to bring you a message. You don't have to say anything after you go in, and you don't have to intercede for anyone, just stand quietly and watch.This is the business of the Xiqi warriors themselves..."

"knew……",
Chen Zhi nodded when he heard the words, turned his head and looked at Langtu again, and then looked around, only to see that the yard was full of men in black, and everyone's face was as serious as Langtu's.

"It seems that what is happening inside is now known to everyone...", Chen Zhi thought silently, and then walked into the Xiqi King City.

It was still the old lantern boy who greeted him at the door. The old lantern boy covered his face and seemed a little nervous at this moment, sticking tightly to the outside of the wall, as if he was afraid of someone attacking him.

After seeing Chen Zhi coming in, the lamp boy took the lamp and led Chen Zhi all the way to the inside of the royal city.

This is a road that Chen Zhi has never walked before. This road is very narrow, the surrounding lights are dim, and the road is winding and winding. I don't know how long it took. Finally, Chen Zhi asked:
"Where are we going?"

After hearing Chen Zhi's question, Old Dengtong didn't stop, but continued to walk forward, answering softly:

"Report to the patriarch, kill the room!"

"Death room?" Chen Zhi immediately asked back.

"Yes~~", Old Dengtong replied, his voice was hoarse and old,
"The death room is a hermitage in the Xiqi King City, and no one is allowed to enter on weekdays.

The leader ordered the slaves to take the patriarch there..."

"What about the others?",
Chen Zhi immediately asked Old Dengtong:

"I didn't see any other warriors along the way, not even a guard. Where did they go?"

"them……"

Old Dengtong seemed to be very afraid of Chen Zhi's question, his voice trembled involuntarily~~~, and his pace became extremely fast, as if he wanted to pretend he didn't hear it, and send Chen Zhi over quickly.

"stop!",
Chen Zhi stopped him in a very soft voice, but his tone was unquestionable.

Old Dengtong was startled, stopped immediately, turned around and bowed to Chen Zhi.

At this time, Chen Zhi's voice was heard to say coldly,
"I know what the killing room is. From ancient times to the present, it has been the place where blood relatives of the Ji family were dealt with. Because the beheaded people have noble blood, no one is allowed to watch!

Let me ask you again, where are the people in Wangcheng~~~
Who is watching the sentence there? "

"Return, report to the patriarch..."

The old lamp boy replied tremblingly:
"The leader issued a strict order this morning. All the people in the Xiqi King City, including the elders' house, warriors, guards, medical staff, etc., including the lamp boy, all went to the death room to watch the execution~~~
I don't know the specific reason, but I just heard that there is a traitor in the elder's house, and he wants to kill him in front of everyone! "

"What? He wants to kill the royal family in front of everyone...",
After hearing what Old Dengtong said, Chen Zhi immediately frowned tightly, and his heart started beating thumpingly.

In fact, from the first day he entered the organization, he had heard of the death room.

Death, death~~~, the death room is a humble room for killing people...

But in the distant ancient times, death was not so easy. The form of death was a complicated etiquette. It does not mean that you can die casually if you want to die, but you have to die according to your status.

There is no dignity in the death of a slave. They are beheaded and discarded by their masters at will~~, while nobles and royal families are very particular about death. They demand the noble glory of death, even if they are beheaded, they must die with dignity .

In the Qing Dynasty, there was a department called Zongrenfu, which dealt with the Aixinjueluo clan who had committed crimes.

For example, the sons of the emperor, the grandsons of the princes, even if they make a huge mistake, they cannot be beheaded by the Dali Temple or the local government office at the entrance of the downtown area, they must be sent to the clan's house for disposal, or they will be imprisoned or whipped for punishment , and then buried in style, this is called posthumous mourning.

And this kind of criminal law was paid more attention to in ancient times and the Shang and Zhou dynasties. The death penalty of princes should not be seen by ordinary people.

For thousands of years in Xiqi King City, the surname Ji has been respected, and all people with the surname Ji are descendants of the ancient royal family.

But people surnamed Ji may also make mistakes and even break the law.

The laws in Xiqi King City are far stronger than those in the outside world. Once many mistakes are made, there is no room for turning back. Making mistakes will cost you your life. Everyone in the organization knows this, even members of the royal family. Nor can it be pardoned.

But the royal family is the royal family after all, when members of the Ji family die, they will retain a trace of the dignity of the royal family, that is, when they are executed, they will be sent to the death chamber.

Under the circumstance that no one knew about it, the secret execution and then the royal family's burial was regarded as the last fig leaf of the royal family.

In Chen Zhi's memory, in the past 5000 years, there have been very few royal families who made mistakes in the city of Xiqi, but there were several royal families surnamed Ji who were executed, and they were all taken to the death room without knowing it, and dealt with secretly.

But this time, Bao Ping actually asked everyone to go to a secretive death room in the past to watch the execution. , Bao Ping never said hello to Chen Zhi~~~, Chen Zhi didn't understand at all~~~
Chen Zhi followed Lao Dengtong and continued to walk forward for a long time, and finally came to an open gate, from which there was a translucent space~~~, and inside was a double door Dashimen.

Above the space is a thin layer of glass cover, which can reveal a faint moonlight.

And below is a huge hall, the hall is very old, every floor tile is pitch black, and it is full of heavy history.

After the old lamp boy walked to the big stone gate, he withdrew to the side, stopped moving forward, and bent down to signal Chen Zhi to open the door.

Seeing this, Chen Zhi had no choice but to go up and gently pushed the pair of large stone gates.

"铛啷啷~~~",
Accompanied by a heavy sound, the door slowly opened to both sides, and a magnificent scene appeared before his eyes...
