Chapter 805: Noon, Three Quarters

Sure enough!

Liang Qu's eyes flashed.

There have been no large-scale battles in the Northern Court or Southern Frontier, and there are no large numbers of prisoners entering the capital. Besides, if something really happened, having cultivated to the Jiang Zongshi realm, with a lifespan of three hundred years, who would be willing to be captured without a fight?

If they committed a crime, they would all resist to the death. There are very few who would be escorted to the execution ground for "beheading" like normal criminals.

Judging from the time, the Jian family ancestor is the suitable candidate.

Exposed in August last year, executed on the Summer Solstice in June this year, less than a year, the process is considered fast.

Special handling for special events.

"What is the crime?"

"You are from Pingyang, you don't..." Meng Qiang stopped halfway, his eyes showing suspicion, "There won't be any hidden secrets inside, right?"

"What do you know?"

"What do you know?"

"I am the person involved. If I really told you, you might hear something you shouldn't."

Meng Qiang opened his mouth, speechless.

"Tell me quickly." Liang Qu urged.

"Jian Zhongyi committed the crimes of rebellion and evil. The ancestor and Jiang Zongshi Jian Tianyuan died to redeem his life. The Jian family donated 1.8 million taels of silver to avoid prison. Jian Zhongyi is grounded in Qingzhou for fifty years, and will not be pardoned even if there is an amnesty. I don't know if there is any other compensation inside."

"That's about it."

"Cough, is there any inside story?" Meng Qiang leaned forward, "Can I listen?"

"No."

"Okay."

Meng Qiang didn't force it.

There are too many secrets in the world, such as the person in front of him. I don't know what kind of bird merit he made, but he soared to County Earl at the age of twenty. Looking at the whole Great Shun, there are not many.

Could it be because he brought the Dragon People?

Meng Qiang looked at Liang Qu and Long Eying, his eyes showing suspicion.

"Offended." Liang Qu pulled Long Eying behind him.

Long Eying chuckled behind him.

What a pair of singing husband and wife!

His temples throbbed, and Meng Qiang pressed his acupoints: "Forget about you asking me, are you really Hunting Tiger complete, opening the Mysterious Light?"

"Is it fake?"

"Awesome!" Meng Qiang gave a thumbs up, convinced, "The speed at which you are soaring is comparable to the bamboo shoots in my backyard. What about smelting the hundred meridians? This is the hardest, how many years do you plan..."

"I have an opportunity, half a month."

"Yo ho, long energy?"

"Top-grade abyss flow, waiting for a medium." After a pause, Liang Qu added, "Now I'm just struggling with what to bury as the third divine ability seed."

"..."

The scene was silent for a while.

"Eh..."

Meng Qiang sat on the stone steps and sighed long, "The sun doesn't shine twice, the world doesn't have two emperors. How can your life be so perfect? Finding a junior sister who is so beautiful that others are jealous, how come all the good things are spread on you?"

In April, the Earl of Xingyi opened the Mysterious Light in Jishui Pool.

Ordinary people mostly admire, feeling the vastness of the world, making people yearn, but as a Hunting Tiger martial artist, there is more bitterness.

Cultivation, cultivation.

Four barriers, Galloping Horse, Wolf Smoke, Hunting Tiger, Perfected Form, Sky Dragon...

Ordinary people work hard to reach Siguan; those with slight talent practice hard all their lives to enter Galloping Horse; those with rich family backgrounds enter Wolf Smoke; those with opportunities enter Hunting Tiger; those who are not bad fortunately enter Perfected Form; only those with world-covering talent enter Sky Dragon.

Seven paths of Siguan, the road is laid out there.

The more you practice, the more you feel that many things, even if they exist, are hopeless in this life.

Usually, you don't feel anything strange, you don't think about it, you don't miss it, you walk your own path.

Once you encounter someone like Liang Qu, it's like training on the drill ground, letting your colleagues lap you. Looking at yourself, your heart is beating wildly, you are exhausted, and your mouth is panting like a broken bellows, which is inevitably sad.

"Meng Tongling's words are wrong." Liang Qu brushed off the dust and sat side by side, "If you can distinguish beautiful jade, you will receive white jade. I practice fast, so I can have so many benefits 'spread' on me. If I were a fisherman's son all my life, let alone the Jianghuai Dragon Lady, even the maid who does chores in my mansion might not look at me."

Long Eying gently tugged at Liang Qu's lapel and spoke to comfort Meng Qiang.

"Jiang Zongshi Bai entered the Jiang Zongshi realm at the age of thirty, and didn't enter Sky Dragon at eighty, which is not as good as the Dragon Elephant Martial Saint who came from behind. The birth of all things follows their own nature. Why should Captain Meng feel uneasy?"

"Junior sister's words are better to listen to than yours."

"Hahaha, that's why I like her."

"..."

The crowd in the West Market gradually increased.

The common people who knew there was excitement to watch blocked the street, and looking at it, it was black and heavy. The wine signs on both sides of the high buildings fluttered, and there were many young masters in the windows and railings to join in the fun.

A dignified Jiang Zongshi.

A big figure.

How exciting it is to kill on the spot.

"When is the execution?"

"Noon, three quarters. There is still more than a quarter of an hour, people are coming up."

"I heard people say that killing a Jiang Zongshi requires Five Thunderbolts Striking the Top, what is the reason?"

"Thunder overcomes evil." Meng Qiang was accustomed to it, "Using thunder-type divine abilities to kill, the Jiang Zongshi remnants left after death are relatively clean, and the body is relatively complete, so there are many uses. In the past, it was generally a Jiang Zongshi of the Imperial Observatory who practiced Taoist thunder divine abilities to do it. This year, it was changed to someone else, changed to the grandson of the Ning Prince."

"Ning Prince's grandson..." Liang Qu felt inexplicably familiar, recalling slightly, "I have an impression, he auctioned for Thunder Qi at the Tianbo Auction two years ago, did he eat Qi and become a Jiang Zongshi?"

"Yes, yes!" Meng Qiang nodded repeatedly, "That's him, he entered the Jiang Zongshi realm at the beginning of this year. I guess he spent money to show off his power."

Long Eying looked around, practicing the "Eye Knowledge Method", and could feel many gazes sticking to them.

"Why are all the criminals killed in the busy market? So... lively?"

Vegetable market.

On the street.

In front of the city tower.

A simple wooden high platform can start, which is completely different from the solemnity of other activities.

"Punishing people in the market, abandoning them with the crowd." Meng Qiang said.

"Have you seen a play? Yiyi-yaya, turning the execution process and place into a stage, using the public execution of stage-ization to form a grand legal performance. The common people can also watch the fun. If you have to say it, it's similar to killing a chicken to scare a monkey, but different."

Meng Qiang chewed: "You are quite unconventional."

"Is the time almost up?"

"Almost forgot." Meng Qiang looked at the sundial, stood up and patted his butt, "Okay, I'm going to work, you and junior sister stay here and watch!"

Thanks to an acquaintance.

Liang Qu and Long Eying didn't need to squeeze with others. They found a good position in the execution ground, mixed with the Feathered Forest Guard, and had two small stools to sit on.

The entire execution ground was tightly surrounded by hundreds of horse and foot soldiers, mixed with a few Feathered Forest Guards. A dirt platform was built in the northeast corner of the execution ground, surrounded by large tarpaulins.

"What's in the tarpaulin?" Long Eying saw human execution for the first time.

"Yama shrine, incense burner, and offerings."

"People are here!"

The crowd shouted.

The crowd separated on its own.

Jian Tianyuan was escorted forward by the Heavenly Feather Guard, with iron chains binding his hands and feet.

Perhaps because he was dying to redeem his life, Jian Tianyuan's clothes were neat, and he hadn't suffered too much torture. He could still see the style of the former family ancestor, but in his messy hair and confused eyes, panic and fear rose like a tide.

A dignified Jiang Zongshi, actually trembling!

At first, the crowd was surprised.

Such a powerful big figure, why would he tremble?

He couldn't, and shouldn't tremble.

But thinking about it.

Oh.

A Jiang Zongshi is also a human.

Two eyes, one nose, there are things he can't think of, things he can't see, things he can't do, he will be happy, angry, and afraid.

"Nothing different!"

"Thought he would be tougher..."

"Lost face, beheaded after autumn last year, several men's heads fell, a scar the size of a bowl, didn't make a sound, and they were only Galloping Horse and Wolf Smoke!"

"Listen to how capable you are, why don't you go up and try?"

"I'm just doing my duty."

"Lord Jian, eat something?"

In front of the tree stump, the clerk carried wine and meat forward.

Jian Tianyuan seemed not to hear, confused.

Seeing that the time was running out, the execution supervisor urged, and the clerk directly took the chicken leg and stuffed it into Jian Tianyuan's mouth. However, a clerk couldn't pry open a Jiang Zongshi's mouth, even if he had fed him cartilage powder beforehand, only making his face oily.

The common people laughed loudly.

Long Eying knew about Jian Tianyuan's incest, didn't feel any unbearable, tugged at Liang Qu's sleeve and asked curiously: "I know there is a saying about the last meal, but why do you have to force him to eat?"

"Because this way he won't become a hungry ghost. If there are too many 'hungry ghosts', the world will be chaotic. It's a custom."

On the high platform in the southwest corner of the execution ground, the Ning Prince's grandson stood early, arms crossed, waiting.

"Noon has arrived..."

"Woo ah!"

The loud crying suppressed the words of the execution supervisor.

Jian Tianyuan suddenly wailed and knocked his head on the ground.

Then a more violent thunder sound exploded the whole field!

Clear sky and white sun.

A dazzling strong light pierced the pupils, and a straight thunder pillar pierced down from the long sky.

Rumble!

"Ho!"

No one was left under the thunder.

The crying stopped abruptly.

Jian Tianyuan opened his mouth slightly, emitting a wisp of green smoke, his whole skin seemed to be messily peeled off, revealing scorched red flesh.

On the half-bone, half-flesh cheeks, the scorched black pupils turned.

Rumble!

Thunder exploded again!

Second, third, fourth...

Five thunders in succession.

Plop!

The corpse, which had become charcoal, fell, revealing shining jade bones.

The clerks held iron tongs and put the corpses into yellow leather bags one by one.

Dead.
