Chapter 2 Murder in the Street


In the most prosperous downtown street on weekdays, Lingtian is even more crowded, and a large number of people gather on both sides of the street, stretching their necks, waiting to see the anti-country and traitors being beheaded on the street.The noise came from a distance, watching the flow of people parting on both sides like a tide, and a long queue marching towards this side, everyone in the team was with a dignified momentum, which was terrifying.At the head of the procession, the infantrymen armed with clubs shouted loudly to open the way, pushed away the people who were in the way, and opened a way to the court.Next, a large number of cavalrymen with cold and glittering spears in their hands clapped their horses, and their vigilant eyes swept the surrounding crowd, beware of someone coming to rob the court and rescue the death row prisoners.Behind the cavalry, a dozen prisoner carts were pushed by the soldiers, and inside sat a man, all unkempt and filthy.The chains all over his body are heavily locked, and he can't see the majesty of his grandeur when he was a minister and a famous general.Although they are in the same situation, their expressions are different.Some of their faces are as earth-colored as a chicken: some are crying and trembling all over: some are gritting their teeth and scolding at the sky, even if they are in a cage, they can't stop his heroic momentum.But such a scolding could only arouse the unanimous hatred of the people around them, and the stones rained down on the head and body of the cage general Qian Wulin, and the other ten traitorous thieves were also beaten all over their faces with scars, lying on the ground and wailing.Although the stones were raining down, Qian Wulin didn't care about it.Standing in the cage with his head held high, he raised his head to the sky and shouted: "Li Xiaomin, you dog eunuch, I can't eat your flesh alive, and I will definitely eat your soul after death" But he couldn't see it, beside him, a ghost guard who was secretly watching him was annoyed when he heard it, waved his spirit knife, and smashed it on his head with the back of the knife to punish him for the great crime of insulting his master.Qian Wulin was holding his hands with chains, pointing at the sky and scolding, when suddenly he had a pain in his head, and he knelt on the ground on the spot, covered his head and shouted loudly, only saying that he was so angry that he had a headache, and he knew that there were powerful ghosts around him.The people who watched around shouted and cheered, saying that they had defeated the traitor with one of their own stones, so that he would not spout any more rebellious words.At the back of the team, Li Xiaomin rode a tall horse and walked slowly.Looking at the rain of stones in front of him, the prisoners in the cage and the guards outside the cage were hiding in all directions, and he couldn't help but feel proud: "Fortunately, I had the foresight and was not in front of the team, otherwise, I am afraid that I will also suffer a few stones" beside him, urging the horse to follow closely with him, Xi Quanyong, the secretary of the criminal department, smiled and said: "Lord Li."

You see so many people gathered here, hating the anti-country and traitors to the core, it can be seen that the rebellion is unpopular, and it should be pointed out by thousands of people, Li Xiaomin laughed and chatted with him casually, all the way to the court.This execution.He and Xi Quanyong were in charge of supervising the beheading, and although Xi Quanyong was the new secretary of the Criminal Department, he respected him and naturally respected him.What's more, Xi Quanyong was originally a cadre of Zhou Tai's faction, and he was almost killed by the rebels, if it weren't for Li Xiaomin's dragon to retract and surrender the rebels, I am afraid that he would follow in the footsteps of Zhou Taidi.Later, under the protection of Li Xiaomin, he was able to stay in office, and he was naturally a little grateful in his heart, and he obeyed the words of this Zhongshu Ling, who was deeply favored by Queen Zhou, and never dared to despise him because of his young age.The people threw stones and smashed the group of rebellious ministers and generals, and they were in a good mood, watching the prisoner car gradually move away, and still felt that it was not enjoyable enough.The next people to come here were not criminals, but two adults on horses.The black-faced and long-bearded minister in the back was no different, walking in front, a young man wearing a python robe and jade belt.With clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, but he is only fourteen or fifteen years old, he has such a noble status, which looks very rare.There are clever people, as soon as their minds turned, they guessed who was coming, immediately bowed to the ground, and shouted loudly: "The front is the peaceful Gonggong Li is coming" The guard Ding had the heart to please Li Xiaomin, so he replied loudly: "Yes, it is the Zhongshu who single-handedly quelled the rebellion to order Lord Li to come here in person, and behead all the anti-thieves to come to the ground" As soon as this remark came out, the people were surprised, Hulala knelt down and fell down a large piece, kowtowed and shouted: "Lord Li is above, please accept the villain's worship" Li Xiaomin rode high on the horse, smiled and returned the salute, Looking at the people kneeling down on the street, I sighed in my heart that the Chinese people are just so foolish, as long as they are a little kind to them, they will be grateful.On the streets, the people knelt down and kowtowed, thanking and singing praises throughout the city.Ahead, still raining stones, the people who had been waiting in front of them shouted angrily, smashing the warm stones in their hands into the cage, and the angry scolding and the praise of gratitude, mixed with the wails of the rebel ministers, formed a peculiar music.After passing through many obstacles, they finally came to the law field, and the knife and axe men firmly tied more than a dozen criminals to the stakes, standing behind them with horizontal eyebrows, waiting for Li Xiaomin's order to cut off their heads Li Xiaomin and Xi Quanyong sat high on the prison platform, looking at the criminals below who were like earth, shaking their heads and sighing.These people are all ministers of the court, and they may not be able to take a look at a little eunuch like themselves in ordinary times.Now it is his little eunuch who has sat in the high position of Zhongshu Ling, and has come to supervise and behead all the ministers, but the strange life experience is difficult to describe.The leader of the executioner, who was in charge of the execution, respectfully brought up a large piece of paper with the names of a dozen ministers written on it.Li Xiaomin didn't look at it, so he picked up a red pen, wiped it vertically on the top of the dozen or so people, threw down the death list, and shouted: "Are you ready?"

The leader of the executioner kowtowed and agreed, and said respectfully: "Please give an order" Hearing the conversation above, the criminals below were all trembling, knowing that their lives were about to come to an end.Mo Shangchou, who was as fat as a pig, trembled early, and if he hadn't been tied to a stake, he would have collapsed to the ground.At this time, he was crying with tears on his face, raised his head, looked at Li Xiaomin with tears in his eyes, and cried loudly: "Father-in-law Li, spare my life, I was killed by Qian Song and Li Xiong."

They set a trap and forced me to do it" "Shut up" A broken cry sounded next to him, a burly strong man, glaring at Mo Shangchou with contempt, and shouted angrily: "Mo Shangchou, you are also a military general, how can you be so cowardly and useless" Even if he was tied to a wooden stake, Qian Wulin was still a heroic momentum, looking up at Li Xiaomin, who was sitting on the prison platform, with fire in his eyes.roared loudly: "The dog eunuch called you to gain power today, and you will be punished for it one day" Li Xiaomin smiled coldly, and did not care about this criminal who was going to die, and reached out to pick up a red stick.Throwing it downward, he shouted: "Chop" more than ten knife and axe hands, raised the big knife in his hand, took a deep breath, and was about to slash Qian Wulin raised his head and shouted loudly: "Today I die here, and the king of Danyang will turn back to Jinling."

You will be killed cleanly, and you will avenge me," the executioner swung down and slashed at him on the neck.With a loud bang, the head was cut off from it, fell to the ground, and rolled all over the ground along with a dozen other heads.Almost at the same moment, more than a dozen ghosts flew out of the blood-spurting neck cavity, staring at the familiar and unfamiliar world around them with dazed eyes.Just like before they died, there were hideous-looking executioners and a large number of onlookers everywhere, the only difference was that there were many more terrifying ghosts covered in blood, armed with swords and guns, floating around the middle of the court.Especially around the prison beheading platform, there are countless powerful ghosts in the encirclement.On the prison platform, Li Xiaomin squinted his eyes and stared at the newly created ghosts.With his runic water-washed eyes, he could clearly see the frightened expressions on the faces of the ghosts, which was not at all the same as the people who only looked at the corpses and shouted cheers.On the ground, dozens of ghosts floated out, but it was black and white impermanence with a large number of Yin soldiers, from the ground, to Li Xiaomin from afar, and then commanded his subordinates to go to recruit those nascent ghosts.As for the ghost guards who were around, the two sides ignored each other, the well water did not interfere with the river water, and no one interfered in anyone's affairs.Li Xiaomin bowed to the void and stared intently at the daily work of black and white.Those newborn ghosts were all full of panic, and before they could react, they dragged away.Mo Shangchou's chubby ghost only had time to scream, but he was shackled by the Yin soldiers and dragged away.Mo Shangchou's fat ghost only had time to cry: "What are you" and was dragged into the ground by the Yin soldiers, as if submerged under the water, never to be seen again.In the center of the court, a tall ghost raised his eyes and looked around, and a look of surprise quickly appeared on his face, as if he had understood his situation.His gaze fell far away on the face of the delicate young man on the prison beheading platform, and the ghost's face showed a look of rage, and he flew towards the prison beheading platform.Seeing this, the Yin soldiers around hurriedly threw out the chains, made a few noises, covered his neck, pulled it tightly, and shouted: "The king of trouble told you to go to hell, An Neng spared you to flee everywhere, come with us" Qian Wu woodland grimace, anger rose, raised his head to the sky and roared, the voice was terrible, and it was really like a ghost howling.On his spiritual body, blood rays of light quickly radiated, diffusing in all directions.Li Xiaomin frowned slightly, recognizing the resentment of the ghost who walked away from the bloody light, Qian Wulin was guilty of being killed, and the resentment was really not small, and his resentment was so strong that it was rare among the ghosts of Jinling.It seemed to be sensed by his resentment, on the broad ground, the blood light quickly appeared, and the resentment emanating from Qian Wulin's body merged into one, turning into a giant pillar of blood light, straight towards those yin soldiers in the sky, rushed by this blood pillar, and flew back in an instant, his face turned blue, pointing at Qian Wulin and roaring loudly, but he didn't dare to approach the giant pillar of blood light.Qian Wulin grinned angrily, his spirit body expanded rapidly, opened his arms, and flew straight towards Li Xiaomin To this fierce ghost who rushed with anger, Li Xiaomin smiled coldly, looking at Qian Wulin's gaze, full of disdain.Seeing his contemptuous eyes, Qian Wulin's ghost was even more furious, and hissed fiercely: "Dog eunuch."

You are a big deal for me, take my life, one day I must give birth to your soul" Li Xiaomin didn't even bother to look at him, and with a flick of his fingers, there were dozens of ghost guards surrounding him, brandishing his spirit knife and roaring: "The little ghost dares to be arrested quickly if he doesn't hurry up, so as not to scatter his soul" Qian Wulin was willing to listen.Waving his arms, blood light burst out, flying straight towards Li Xiaomin, and he was about to use up all the spiritual power after death, sucking Li Xiaomin's soul on the spot and killing Lin Li flew out, and the spirit knife in his hand slashed down, broke through the blood-light giant pillar, and slashed heavily on the top door of the Qianwu woodland, sneering loudly.Qian Wulin was slashed to the ground by this knife, and his head had been split from it, and it was split to both sides.The ghost swooped to the ground, and Qian Wulin scrambled to his feet.The two halves of the head that were split from it slowly returned to one head, and muttered: "What kind of person are you, why are you not afraid of my resentment" Lin Li waved his knife in front of him and flew into the air, sneering: "I am the ghost guard under Lord Li's seat Lin Li is also your resentment was born, how can I wait for three hundred years of resentment, like this kind of small means that we have discarded, where can I get into our eyes" Li Xiaomin sat on the prison platform, waved his hand lazily, and signaled Lin Li not to talk nonsense with him.Lin Li understood, and with a wave of his hand, there were dozens of ghost guards around, smiling and slashing wildly, slashing down on Qian Wulin's body.Qian Wulin was severely attacked.The whole body shook violently, and he looked up to the sky and roared: "Impossible, I don't believe that there will be such a thing This dog eunuch, how can there be so many powerful ghosts to protect him" Before the words fell, the spirit knife waved, and the head of his spirit body fell horizontally, and a ghost guard flew over, grabbed the piece of heavenly spirit cover, and chewed it as if eating watermelon.As soon as he started eating, the other ghost guards refused to show weakness, and grabbed a few pieces one after another, stuffed them into their mouths and munched on them.After a short time, the spirit body of Qianwu Woodland was eaten cleanly, and the soul could no longer wander between heaven and earth.In the soul jade worn by Li Xiaomin, a wisp of red shadow flew out, appeared in the air, and saluted the black and white impermanence, but it was Yueniang who went to ask the two ghosts about the strangeness under Li Xiaomin's instructions.Black and white impermanence returned the salute, and said with a wry smile: "Thank you for helping someone, although I accepted one less ghost back today, I didn't let him run away, and there was one less ghost rampant in the world." ”Yue Niangqi said: "May I ask the two ghost envoys, aren't you specifically responsible for collecting souls, why can't you catch this little new ghost" Black and White Impermanence looked at each other, and after a while, Bai Impermanence sighed dejectedly: "This matter is a long story."

The land of Jinling is very strange, it is the yin land of the underworld, and there are often resentful ghosts born who do not obey our control.The resentful souls elsewhere, although they have resentment, are not strong after all, and we can catch them as soon as we catch them.The resentful ghosts in Jinling, however, as long as they have resentment, there will be resentment coming out of the spirit body, and the large amount of resentment accumulated underground will be gathered together to form a powerful mana, which will be inaccessible to us messengers from the underworld.But you, all of you, have always been born of resentment, but you are not afraid of the resentment of these resentful souls, if it weren't for your help today, this new ghost would let him escape again" Hei Wuchang also bowed his head and sighed: "For hundreds of years, the resentment in Jinling has become stronger and stronger, and it is simply unbearable for us.If it weren't for the fact that Jinling was so weird, how could we let so many ghosts wander around Jinling, and we also sent ghosts to visit the underworld if we didn't obey the control of the underworld, but found that deep underground in Jinling, some places were very strange, and the resentment was so strong that we, the messengers of the underworld, could not approach it at all.Even the resentful ghosts who often wander in Jinling, under our persecution, went to find out for us, but they couldn't stand the extremely strong resentment, and many of them were scattered.And we have been understaffed in the past few hundred years, so we have to let it go. ”Yue Niangqi said: "In this way, the underworld will not care about the Jinling area in the future" Bai Wuchang shook his head and sighed: "Where will it always be irrelevant, it's just that I can't do it."

If your lord can find out the secret, I will be a ghost in the underworld, and I will feel the great virtue" On the prison beheading platform in the distance, Li Xiao stood up with a smile, moved his lips lightly, and transmitted the inaudible voice to the ears of black and white impermanence: "Please rest assured, if I can do it, I will definitely visit the secrets of Jinling's underground and report it to everyone who knows" Black and white impermanence bowed and saluted, led his subordinates, and slowly sank into the ground and disappeared without a trace
