Chapter 377 Execution
Long Feng felt more and more that Yuan Qi was entrusting his son to him.
But Yuan Qi should entrust his son to Hu Yun and Bao Chong.
No matter what, I can't entrust my care to an outsider like him.
You have to know that among the five great masters under the leader of the Iron Hand Group, except Hu Yun and Bao Chong who have followed Yuan Qi for many years, Long Feng, Yun Gu and Chen Yiqu are just outsiders.
I never expected that the person who would be truly entrusted with the care of the orphan would be an outsider leader like me.
As soon as Long Feng thought of the task Li Cunxi assigned to him, he immediately put on a sad face.
"I, Long Feng, will definitely not let you down. I will make the Iron Hand Group bigger and bigger!"
Yuan Qi nodded heavily.
No moment can compare to the present moment. At this moment, trust in Long Feng has reached its full potential.
Even Hu Yun and Bao Chong had to step back a little in front of Yuan Qi at this moment.
What level? Can you be compared with my Deputy Sect Leader Long Feng?
After talking with Yuan Qi for another half an hour, Long Feng said goodbye reluctantly, left the backyard, and immediately left Prince Ying's Mansion, wandering around the red-light district of Yangzhou.
After walking around for a long time and making sure that he was not being followed by anyone, Long Feng quietly found the Xize Bank and saw Tao Gan dozing off behind the counter.
"Brother Long Feng, why are you here at this time? Are you not being followed by anyone?"
Tao Gan asked Long Feng in a low voice while keeping an eye on the door.
"Don't worry, no one is following me. I have observed many times." Long Feng lowered his voice, "Write a letter to the head of the family, saying that Yuan Qi is in a very bad condition now and it will take at least a year to recover. Ask the head of the family if you need..."
"I never thought that you, who have become the acting clan leader, would be so awesome now. You really deserve to be the most awesome among us brothers."
"The opportunity given by the Patriarch is good enough..." Long Feng sighed, "I'm leaving now. I can't go back too late, otherwise something bad might happen."
……
In Yangzhou, the execution day arrived as scheduled. There was a huge crowd at Caishikou, and several people were trampled to death due to the crowding.
Li Cunxi didn't know how to deal with this kind of situation in ancient times where people trampled someone to death just for fun, so he simply handed it over to Mi Qing to handle.
In this era, human life was worthless. On the execution day, someone being trampled to death did not attract the attention of other people who liked to watch the fun. They were still trying their best to squeeze forward, fearing that the steamed buns in their hands would not touch the blood spurting from the neck of the deceased.
The Qianniu Guards, the Neiwei Guards and the Inspector's Office Guards set up a path and escorted Li Cunxi and others to Caishikou.
The beheading platform had already been set up there, and executioners from several nearby counties had all been called in for today's beheading ceremony.
"Li Shaoyin, County Magistrate Lin will assist you in finding out the truth of the case. The governor has already written to the emperor, recommending County Magistrate Lin to be the chief officer of Jiangzhou."
"Today's execution will be directed by County Magistrate Lin."
The new Sima of Jiangzhou who was responsible for bringing Li Cunxi here explained something to Li Cunxi, and then took Li Cunxi, Li Yuanfang, Hu Jinghui, Wu Yanhao and Lu Dayou to the location where the executioner was.
Lin Yongzhong, who was already seated, saw Li Cunxi coming and quickly stood up, his eyes flashing with excitement.
"Cun Xi, you are finally here. Today is the day to make the enemy suffer!"
"Yes, it's a pity that we killed them all at the beginning. Now they can't see their relatives being beheaded by us." Li Cunxi said.
"After staying in Jiangzhou for so long, I finally came to this moment. It's really exciting, but there is a downside. It seems that I am completely bound to you."
Wu Yanhao covered his face with his hands, and visible sadness bloomed on his face.
"Just tell me if you got promoted again?" Li Cunxi sat down on the chair impatiently.
"Indeed, in just one year, I have already reached such a high position. In a few more years, I might even become the best son of my father."
Wu Yanhao's mood suddenly turned from gloomy to sunny, and he found a place to sit down.
There were six chairs behind the executioner's table, just enough for the six of them to sit.
Everyone took their seats and began to wait for the 3:45 p.m.
The families of Feng Wanchun, Ge Bin and others who were escorted here from the prison of the governor's mansion were guarded by a large group of soldiers and came all the way.
The first group of people taken to the guillotine were Wu Shun's family members. The minor official next to them took the list and counted the number of people. After confirming that they were correct, he came back to report to Lin Yongzhong.
Lin Yongzhong grinned, picked up the command arrow and threw it on the ground.
"cut!"
The executioners drank too much wine and spurted it out. They raised their knives and slashed, and a round of heads rolled to the ground.
Within half a day, the Caishikou in Xunyang County had become a river of blood, with nearly 500 people dead. Some curious people would dip their steamed buns in the blood and stuff them into their mouths while they were still hot, leaving blood stains around their mouths.
"Tomorrow we will execute officials who have close personal relationships with the six thieves. Many of them are disciples of Liang Wang Wu Sansi."
After returning to the governor's mansion, Xue Qinglin was eager to try. While eating dinner, he talked to Li Cunxi about the person to be executed tomorrow.
In order to prevent anyone from recognizing the real Xue Qinglin, Zhao Fucai killed all the people who had any connection with Xue Qinglin.
It happened that the Li Tang dynasty was in danger at that time, and the real Xue Qinglin, who was protected by his father, had never entered the capital after being promoted to a light cavalry commander in Jiangzhou.
Therefore, after all of the real Xue Qinglin's friends were killed, Zhao Fucai felt at ease and became Xue Qinglin.
Now.
It is the day to avenge our old friends!
Lin Yongzhong's eyes were fierce as he recalled his life back then. He didn't need any mercy now. He just wanted to avenge his old friends.
Li Cunxi did not object to this idea. He came to Jiangzhou for revenge.
It was just a matter of killing a few thousand more people. Compared with the people from various families of the Li clan who died that year, this number may not even be a fraction of the total.
After taking a sip of wine, Li Cunxi put down his glass and said:
"I'm ready to set off and continue my tour of the world."
"I will not go to watch this massacre."
"I will make a suggestion to His Majesty later and see if you can be transferred to be the governor of a state. It would be better than being a chief secretary."
Xue Qinglin nodded heavily and replied:
"If there ever comes a day when I become a governor, Cunxi, don't worry, I will never embarrass you in office."
Li Cunxi smiled and said nothing.
There is no shame or no shame in it.
The Wu Zhou dynasty is like this, and it doesn't really matter whether you do well or not.
In this dynasty, except for those irreplaceable officials who were promoted to positions that belonged only to them, all other officials, nine out of ten times, would have a faction behind them.
In the past, this dynasty had the Crown Prince's faction, the Prince of Xiang's faction, the Prince of Liang's faction, the Prince of Wei's faction, the Princess Taiping's faction, the Li family's old ministers' faction, the Majesty's confidants' faction, and the wanton faction.
Until today, the only people left in the court are Li's old ministers, the Liang Wang faction, the Wei Wang faction, Li Cunxi faction, and the wanton and reckless faction.
The representative of the reckless faction was Xu Xi, the director of the Imperial Observatory who once mocked Wu Sansi in the court.
This faction is also recognized as not clinging to anyone.
