Chapter 279: Execution and Scattering the Ashes

"Ignorant people, a bunch of ignorant people!"

Gao Qiu, covered in filth on his head and body, cursed loudly.

Not to mention that since he hugged the thigh of Prince Duan and became the Grand Marshal of the Palace Front Mansion,

even when he was still hanging out with other fox friends and dog companions in Bianliang city, when had he ever been so insulted?

Now it seems that he was too kind to these ignorant people before.

"Wait, wait until the Grand Marshal gets out, I will send the Imperial Guards to kill you one by one, kill you all!"

Gao Qiu, who had never been treated like this, looked like a madman.

Or rather, under the huge blow of turning from the current Grand Marshal into a prisoner and being about to be executed, he had already gone mad.

As for whether he was truly mad or pretending to be mad, it was unknown.

Anyway, Zhang Jie had no time, energy, or interest to verify it.

The moment he made the verdict, unless someone could kill him,

and give the Great Song a comeback, otherwise, Gao Qiu was already a dead man.

Some people, although they looked alive, were actually already dead~

"Still get out, still order the Imperial Guards to kill us all?

You think quite beautifully, the execution time is almost here,

you should go to the Yama Palace in the underworld and find those Imperial Guards under your command!"

The soldiers escorting Gao Qiu listened to his crazy words and said disdainfully.

To avoid this guy saying any more filthy words and polluting their ears,

he also casually took a stinky egg from a commoner's hand and threw it into Gao Qiu's mouth.

It must be said that this throwing skill was really not bad,

although there were so many people throwing things at Gao Qiu, and there was a suspicion of taking advantage of the close distance,

but he was still the only one who threw something into Gao Qiu's mouth.

Someone in the crowd had already given him a thumbs up.

The soldier held back his laughter and did not let himself laugh out loud,

but this feeling of showing off in front of people and being in the limelight made his face full of smiles.

And in sharp contrast to his triumph was the filthy and wretched Grand Marshal Gao Qiu.

"Mmm, mmm..."

Feeling the unspeakable taste from his taste buds to his throat, and then to his stomach,

Gao Qiu instantly shut his mouth.

The prison cart continued to move at a leisurely pace.

Arriving at the execution ground, several executioners did not mind that Gao Qiu was covered in filth,

and with very nimble hands and feet, they dragged him onto the beheading platform in a few quick moves.

"The time has come, prepare for execution."

Wu Yong, who was in charge of supervising the execution, first looked up at the sun,

then took out the pocket watch bestowed by Zhang Jie from his bosom and looked at it like a treasure,

then picked up an execution token from the table in front of him,

drew a big "X" on it, and threw it on the ground.

The token hit the ground, and the head also hit the ground!

"Old thief, you also have today!"

Having received the notification, Lin Chong, who had arrived early to prepare, used the firearm he had already loaded with ammunition,

specially used for execution, and aimed it at the back of Gao Qiu's head.

Bang!

As Lin Chong pulled the trigger, the gunpowder was ignited,

and the bullet, under the ejection of the violently expanding air, suddenly drilled into Gao Qiu's brain,

ending his life of evil and his dream of "killing people without having to face a lawsuit."

"Dying just like this, it's really cheap for you!"

Looking at Gao Qiu's body, which died directly without much pain, Lin Chong's hatred could not be dissipated.

Although it was Gao Yanei who committed the crime and nearly raped his wife, if it weren't for Gao Qiu as his backer,

how could the mere fat and foolish Gao Yanei have the ability to run rampant in Bianliang city!

But today Gao Qiu also followed Gao Yanei, who was smashed to pieces in the Qingzhou military camp, so the grudge between them could be considered settled.

"My Lord!"

Thinking that all this was brought by Zhang Jie, the loyalty in Lin Chong's heart grew even stronger.

Such great kindness, there is no way to repay it, only by loyalty unto death can one repay a fraction of it!

Lin Chong's great revenge was avenged, his heart was full of emotions, and the people watching below also had all kinds of states of life.

Some whose families were harmed by Gao Yanei cheered loudly;

others were eating melons and watching the fun with great relish;

and there were also those who missed the Great Song, looking at Gao Qiu, this Grand Marshal,

the head of the Great Song's military officials, dying on the execution platform, their expressions complex and unspeakable.

There were even some who looked regretful;

"Sigh, everything in Liang Shan is good, entering the city doesn't mean killing people at will,

nor does it mean robbing the people everywhere, not even forcibly seizing civilian women,

compared to those treacherous soldiers of the Great Song, it is simply heaven and earth.

It's just that this execution doesn't even need beheading, for the sake of some humanitarianism, they changed to this fire, fire what was it called?

Oh, it's a musket, making our business impossible to do.

This is a dignified Grand Marshal, I don't know how high a price he could sell for!

What a waste, what a waste!"

Some "businessmen" under the platform who intended to sell human blood buns looked at Gao Qiu's body, from which only a few drops of blood flowed,

sighing while feeling heartbroken, and their hearts were a bit restless, for example, wanting to rescue Grand Marshal Gao.

But looking at the Liang Shan soldiers standing on both sides of the execution platform, holding the same weapons that killed Grand Marshal Gao,

like iron towers and statues, they chose to follow their hearts in unison.

Wu Yong didn't care what the people below thought, and waved his hand to let the corpse collectors carry away Gao Qiu's body,

there were many people he had to kill today, and he was very busy, so he couldn't delay the auspicious time!

As for the fate of Gao Qiu's body?

Of course, he would not be given any thick burial that matched his status as Grand Marshal.

As for throwing him to the mass grave outside the city to feed wild dogs, that was also impossible.

Because Zhang Jie, in order not to trigger a plague, had already ordered all corpses to be cremated without exception.

Those who saw the Liang Shan soldiers cremating the corpses of the Imperial Guards who died in battle and the rioters who were beheaded for taking advantage of the chaos,

could not help but be even more in awe of Liang Shan.

My dear mother, this new dynasty is really ruthless, not only killing people,

but also scattering their ashes, making them unable to be reincarnated forever!

For a time, even those who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to do some business without capital, robbing the rich,

and helping themselves to other people's property, were much fewer.

"This Liang Shan is really different."

On Li Gang's side, holding the imperial sword bestowed by Zhang Jie with the authority to execute first and report later,

and leading a team of soldiers, he was checking everywhere in Bianliang city,

preparing to find a few chaotic soldiers who were burning, killing, and looting to kill as a warning to others.

Along the way, he found quite a few chaotic soldiers, and killed quite a few people,

but when he asked, he found out that these chaotic soldiers were all defeated Imperial Guard soldiers.

Instead, it was the Liang Shan soldiers who were spontaneously maintaining order under the leadership of squad leaders and company commanders.

These guys thought that the Liang Shan soldiers would also burn, kill, and loot, so they took the opportunity to join in,

to get some benefits, and then hide in their homes,

and after the limelight passed, they could go out in a justified manner, wouldn't that be beautiful?

After all, when it comes to familiarity with Bianliang,

those outsiders from Liang Shan couldn't catch up to them, the local tigers, even if they whipped their horses!

For those shops and households that had money but few people, they could rob them, they knew it like the back of their hands.

And then, they met Li Gang, who was catching examples all over the city, intending to kill as a warning to others.

Although Li Gang was a scholar, he was also truly both civil and military,

a fierce man who could write poems with a pen and cut people with a sword on horseback,

he not only greeted his subordinates to catch and kill people, but he himself also pulled out his sword and cut several people.

After a series of actions, the Liang Shan soldiers who had originally looked down on him were impressed.

This Li Gang, Li Boji, is worthy of being a person who can become a good friend of their Great King,

much stronger than those scholars who only know how to read dead books.

"Renjie is more suitable to rule this world than the Emperor."

Slowly, Li Gang had begun to lean from the Great Song toward Zhang Jie.

At the same time, the Liang Shan soldiers divided into multiple routes, firmly occupying the city gates,

the imperial palace, city walls, military camps, traffic arteries, and other places.

Thus, the capital of the Great Song, the most prosperous international metropolis of this era, Bianjing,

officially fell into the hands of Liang Shan, or rather, Zhang Jie.

From this day on, this Bianjing city does not have the surname Zhao, it has changed to Zhang! ===== CHAPTER 280 =====
