It was noon and the sun was in the sky.

It should have been the most lively time in Queensland, but the streets and alleys in the city seem deserted at this moment. Even if there are people, they are rushing towards the Ximen. In the inner and outer areas of the Ximen, they are already crowded, and tens of thousands of civilian generals gather here.

Whether they stayed inside the city gate, reached the city head by their relationship, or ran out of the city earlier, everyone's eyes were gathered on the wide open space outside the city separated by thousands of elite Dingxi troops, where thousands of criminals were knelt down, and they were the Shengman traitors who were about to be executed today.

This is really an unprecedented execution scene. Not to mention southern Yunnan, even if it is placed in the whole world, Dayue has never had such a large number of executions of prisoners in the century since its founding. Now, the barbarians are about to be killed with one knife, which naturally has a greater sensation. As if the people in the city have put aside all the affairs at hand, just to come and see how the matter ends at the closest distance.

After the list was posted the day before yesterday and was constantly preached by the people in the government, many people in the city were still skeptical about this. Although both the Han and the Barbarians had no good feelings for these rebels - because they did threaten the survival of the people in the city. If the rebels really attacked the city that night, I was afraid that the people in the city would suffer great disasters, and the family would be destroyed. It would be inevitable that the rebels would show mercy just because they were of the same clan as others.

However, most people still cannot believe the government, or the Dingxi Hou really dared to kill so much, killing all the thousands of prisoners. You should know that over the past century, the court has always been polite to the southwest, and even if it kills one or two barbarians, they have to consider and discuss, let alone so many barbarians. Aren’t they afraid that this will cause a bigger storm?

Everyone thought that everything might have a turning point. Until this morning, everyone saw that these prisoners were forcibly taken out of the city gate, and then lined up one by one on the execution ground that had been arranged outside the city. They just waited for the time to come and asked for the attack.

It was not until this time that they realized that the government was coming this time. This surprised and curious, and was also shocked. Almost everyone came to see what was going on.

So it seemed particularly lively on this special and wide execution ground, and everyone was still talking about it, guessing whether there was any change in this matter. Until the Hou Dingxi, who was the prison officer, brought people to great stride, until hundreds of executioners were in place one by one.

It is said that they are executioners, but in fact only three of them are real professionals, and the others are just brave and steady soldiers from the army. Because there is no prefecture in the world that can gather hundreds of executioners in just a few days, even the entire southwest, the executioners are counting just like this.

However, these temporary executioners were full of momentum, all of whom were holding big swords and stood behind the dying and trembling prisoners, waiting for the signing above to execute the last sword.

The prisoners in front of them seemed to be no longer as cruel as before. This was not only because they were all cut off after being arrested, and they didn't even have the strength to stand straight, but also because of the fear in their hearts.

The fierce and fierce creatures who don’t know what the king’s law are, are still the same as ordinary people when facing death. The fear of death has been completely revealed in their expressions. Some people communicate with tears and are in a faint tone to ask the executioner behind them, begging for forgiveness to the guards beside them, and some are limp on the ground, and their souls have already flown out of the sky, and some are even more unbearable. Before the time has come, they are already shit and peeing, and are scared and lost their restraint.

Therefore, the people around him could not see the kind of heroes who were willing to die generously and shouted slogans such as "I will still be a hero in 18 years" and were just a group of ordinary people who were afraid of death.

This understanding made the people and the generals further understand the barbarians who were usually afraid of them. It turned out that these guys were not as terrifying and tough as they imagined.

Time was moving back little by little, and the reflection of the bamboo pole inserted on the ground was about to close its roots. It was approaching at noon, which made everyone's spirits cheer up. Everyone looked at Dingxi Hou who was sitting behind the long desk to see his final decision.

"Mr. Marquis, please think twice." Finally, when time is approaching, some subordinates still talked too much, "Once these people are killed, it will be difficult to turn back."

"I have decided, so there is no need to say much." Xiao Ding's face was Gu Jing Wubo, but his eyes quickly swept across the surroundings, "I ask all military generals to be prepared. If anyone dares to rush into the execution ground and hinder the execution, he will kill him." What he is most worried about now is the Huntian Army that is still hiding in the city, and the bandits of the Luotian Sect will cause trouble.

"Don't worry, Marquis, we have made all preparations. If they dare to come, don't think about leaving." A subordinate immediately expressed his opinion.

Dingxi Hou nodded with satisfaction, glanced at Li Ling not far away from the side, guessing how the young official who came from the capital would view his decision.

Li Ling felt the gaze from Xiao Ding, so he looked back and nodded to him.

To be honest, he could not even dream of such a scene. He actually wanted to kill thousands of people in one go. This would be extremely cruel and inhumane to be released from later generations. Later governments would have to consider it for a long time if they wanted to kill a criminal. Then those Holy Mother bitches jumped out and said that killing thousands of people in this aura would not be regarded as a murderer, and they would be treated as a murderer like Hitler.

But thinking rationally, Li Ling said that he could accept such a decision, because the times are different, and because the current situation requires it. After all, it is not a few hundred years later, and the deterrence of life and death is ultimately higher than everything. The chaos in southern Yunnan has reached the brink of losing control. Only by using such thunder means and the toughest way of killing can we suppress the barbarians in all places.

Killing these people is to keep more people alive and to stabilize the overall situation in southern Yunnan!

Li Ling could understand Xiao Ding's painstaking efforts, but at the same time he understood that if it were him, he would probably not have such a courage. Because killing someone is very happy and can solve many problems, but at the same time it will inevitably lead to more trouble, whether it is internal or external...

When Li Ling was still making various considerations for Xiao Ding, with a bang, he had already spoken: "The time has come, and I am ready to execute the execution!"

Although he used all the energy from his dantian to shout loudly, in this empty environment, the sound could not be heard in everyone's ears. But at this moment, the scene suddenly fell into absolute silence, with only the sound of the wind still whistling, and hundreds of thousands of military and civilians around him actually stopped at the same time. Not to mention chatting and chatting, even their breathing seemed to have stopped suddenly.

Then everyone's eyes gathered on Xiao Ding's hand. He saw him picking up a fire sign with the word "Zhun" written in the sign in front of him. He watched him pick up his pen, dip it in the cinnabar as red as blood, and then circled the word "Zhun" with one hook, and threw his hand. The fire sign was about to fly out: "The thieves rebelled and their crimes are unforgivable, behead me!"

They were simply and neatly, without any hesitation, and had already determined their life and death.

The fire sign fell to the ground with a bang, and the sound was actually not heard by the officials around him, but everyone looking out in the city two or three miles away felt a loud bang coming in. This sign was like thunder falling, shocking the whole city, because it was related to thousands of lives!

"Kill!" The executioners who had already prepared each other shouted, as if they were trying to show off their own behavior. Then, without delay, they kicked out quickly, and completely kicked the prisoner who was pressing down on his knees in front of him. They saw the position of their necks, raised the ghost-headed knife with both hands, and fell down bravely.

"Puchi--" Hundreds of steel knives fell almost at the same time, with only half a scream. The heads had fallen to the ground in one go, blood snatching the cavity, and the headless corpses immediately rolled down.

Such a beheading was terrifying and spectacular, and it immediately made everyone stunned. After a while, someone reacted and screamed and turned around. He couldn't stand such an impact.

Some people were thinking about what changes had happened before, such as someone shouting "Stay someone under the knife" and ran over, but there was no accident, which was the most direct execution.

Just as everyone was frightened and screamed, the beheads on the execution ground continued. A group of people fell down, and soon another group of people were pushed up, and then the knife fell again, the head fell, and the people fell again... This cycle was repeated, and every executioner had to kill more than twenty people to kill all the more than two thousand prisoners.

The prisoners behind had already made up their courage. At this time, some were begging for mercy loudly, and some were struggling hard to survive. However, the soldiers of the Dingxi Army had already made all preparations and quickly hindered them to the ground, and they could not escape the knife.

The killings made people's heads roll and blood flowed into a stream. The blood flowing out of the neck of the headless corpse really gathered into a small stream, heading towards the moat behind, and soon dyed the moat red. Seeing this scene, the people in the city shouted loudly and had a further understanding of the law of the king in their hearts.

At this time, Xiao Ding spoke again: "These traitors should be killed, so I will kill them. But what I want to tell everyone is that killing them is not the purpose. Let the people of southern Yunnan know what to do in this world and what not to do is the purpose of the government doing this!

"Although I am in the border area, I am also under the jurisdiction of the court. Whether you are Han and Barbarians, you are all the people of my Dayue. Although there are ethnic differences, they are the same people, with the same rights, but they must abide by the same royal laws. This marquis is here today, and swears with the blood of these people. From now on, there will be no ethnic divisions in southern Yunnan. Everyone is the same, but those who violate the law will be punished for their crimes!"

Although these words were not loud, they were full of intimidation based on the killing in front of them. Even the most unruly barbarians felt deep fear and pressure.
