Chapter 150 Execution
When Gui Bugui arrived at the Meridian Gate, his newly acquired disciple was tied up and knelt on the ground. At this time, the sky was completely dark and the heavy rain was still falling. The prisoner who was originally going to be executed in the afternoon, but now he was chopping off his head in the middle of the night. How much sin did he commit this disciple?
On the way here, Gui Bugui had already asked the little Taoist priest who brought him, what kind of kingly law did their real people violate. The little Taoist priest couldn't tell what was going on. When Gui Bugui and Wu Mian followed Yan Jun in the afternoon, Dong Qichao took him to the palace. He originally thought that he had just succeeded in asking for rain and the emperor was in a good mood to quickly get the things Gui Bugui ordered.
Unexpectedly, Dong Qichao had just talked with the emperor for a few words, and a guard rushed in from the inner court and dragged him out in a tie. Not long after, the emperor's imperial edict came down and said that Dong Qichao had committed the crime of being a traitor. There was no need for a judicial office to judge, and drag him out of the Meridian Gate and beheaded.
When I was about to go back to the Meridian Gate, the second soul-chasing cannon had already sounded. The prison officer was the general of the imperial guards in the palace. He was also a little uncomfortable when he came out to the prison in the middle of the night. The Wumen Gate in the dark was gloomy, but now it was pouring rain. The sound of the rain was mixed with the sound of the wind, and it sounded like the crying of a female ghost.
"Is it not the time yet?" The prison officer looked at the official who was watching the timekeeping in a hurry with some anxiety, and then continued, "It's almost enough, I'm still waiting to go back and submit an order to Your Majesty."
"Sir, wait a moment, this place is not far from the palace. If your Majesty gives a grace to pardon this person, and we will execute the punishment in advance, it will be unfavorable to your career." The official answered respectfully, glanced at the time tool in front of him, and then continued: "In less than a moment, three cannons will be heard. Please wait a moment."
What the official said was reasonable, and the executioner could only wait patiently. After finally waiting for the time to come, he covered a piece of red cloth on his head and then said to the executioner: "The time has come! Execution..."
After saying this, the executioner who was impatient in the heavy rain poured a bowl of wine mixed with rain on the ghost knife. Then he said to Dong Qichao, who had been scared to tears: "There are injustice and debts, and you were beheaded only after you violate the law of the king. I accumulated virtue and did good deeds to give you the last journey. Criminals, don't seek trouble for me by revengeing kindness and being a ghost..."
While speaking, the executioner had already raised the ghost-headed sword. Just as he was about to raise the sword and cut off Dong Qichao's head, a light suddenly flashed in the sky to shine Wumen like daytime. Then the light turned into a ray of lightning and directly hit the tip of the executioner's ghost-headed sword, which directly hit the executioner from the platform to the bottom of the stage.
This sudden change scared the officers and soldiers around him. The red-veiled prison officer was so scared that he shivered. It was the officials around him who kept shouting that he calmed down.
The official was also frightened and his face turned pale. After he tried to calm down for a while, he hurriedly said to the prison officer: "Sir... The man of the stars was struck by lightning. At this time, God was already furious. Please report to His Majesty. Is there any misunderstanding in this..."
"The executioner was struck by lightning. That was something he did wrong, and it had nothing to do with the execution of the prisoner..." After hesitating for a while, the deceased officer shook his head and continued, "Your Majesty's pardon has not been released. Who dares to let the prisoner go? Come on! Change an executioner to continue the execution..."
Generally, two executioners are required to kill prisoners, one official and one deputies. When the executioner heard that he insisted on killing the Taoist priest, the substitute executioner trembled and pulled out his ghost-headed knife, and said to Dong Qichao, who had already understood and was looking up and watching, "Old god... I have old subordinates and young people, and these are all above and below. If you have any questions, don't come to me..."
"What are you talking about? Why don't you execute the execution quickly..." Seeing the second executioner being slow, the prison officer was afraid of drinking, so he immediately said to the executioner as he gave himself courage and continued: "Don't you see it yet? This is the magic trick performed by the demonic Taoist! You execute the execution quickly, and you can't give him any more time to cast spells!"
Just as the last word of the prison official exited, a second thunder broke out in the sky. This time it hit the prison official and the wooden prison official collapsed instantly. The prison official and several officials were buried inside.
After seeing this, the executioner didn't care about the imperial grain. He threw the ghost knife and jumped off the platform and fled back home. After the officers and soldiers reacted, they rushed over and rescued the prison officials and officials buried inside. Under the eaves of a house in the distance, Gui Bugui and the little Taoist priest who came to her forehead. The old guy smiled and said to himself: "No wonder he likes to use lightning to strike people so much. This feels much better than holding a magic weapon and killing them..."
At this time, the prison officer had been dragged out. After he recovered, he hurriedly sent his subordinates back to the palace to report the letter. He asked His Majesty the Emperor to decide what to deal with this demonic path.
After an hour, a team of imperial guards, led by a eunuch, came to the execution place. The eunuch read out the imperial edict in the heavy rain. The emperor issued an amnesty and pardoned Dong Qichao's death penalty, but the death penalty was to prevent the crime of survival. The prisoner was taken to the heavenly prison and waited for the emperor to issue another imperial edict to be punished tomorrow.
At that moment, the eunuch ordered someone to take Dong Qichao into the prison car, and then to the heavenly prison not far away. Just now, two heavenly thunders saved the Taoist priest had already been passed to the heavenly prison, and the prisoners did not dare to offend this Zhenren Dong. He immediately sent him politely into the single room inside, and took the jailer's clean bedding and asked Zhenren Dong to rest on it.
After all these people left, Dong Qichao hurriedly shouted into the air: "Teacher... Is it your old man who asked for a disciple? Please show up. The disciple was bullied this time..."
"The one who bullies you is the emperor, and I can't do anything about this old man. Tell me what happened and how you messed with the emperor." After saying this, Gui Bugui appeared out of thin air in front of Dong Qichao. After he smiled, he was still shocked when he was prepared for this. However, when he saw Gui Bugui appear, he finally knew that he could not die.
At this moment, Dong Qichao told me how he ended up like this. But he himself was a little confused...
Wu Mian, Gui Bugui followed the great man to leave the Sitianjian Yamen, and then he went to the palace. Because he had made merit in asking for rain, the emperor specially gave Dong Qichao a gold medal that could enter and exit the palace at any time. With this sister's gold medal, he came to Zhengyang Hall where Zhao Guangyi lived, and hired a eunuch on duty to report that the real person of the country brought the fairy pill that had just been refined and wanted to be taken to the emperor.
Soon, the emperor summoned Dong Qichao to the palace. Fortunately, when Dong Qichao presented the pill, Zhao Guangyi smiled happily. After taking the pill, he also said that he would send the imperial edict of Tongxuan Tianshi to seal him tomorrow morning. At that time, he would have the same status as the original alchemist, a great master.
What he didn't expect was that when Dong Qichao talked about the monsters who stopped the rain and their accomplices today, he didn't know what plans they had. The emperor would better seal the city of Bianliang and start searching one by one. While these monsters had not yet begun to make trouble, they could win it in one fell swoop.
However, as soon as Dong Qichao said this, Zhao Guangyi, who was originally smiling, suddenly turned his face and asked what the real person in the country knew? Are he planning to be unfavorable to him?
Dong Qichao did not react at this time, and he was suddenly speechless when he answered. Zhao Guangyi, who was turned on his face, grabbed the handle and said that Dong Qichao was ready to do something ruthless. He immediately erased the identity of the real person of the Guru Guo and the supervisor of Si Tianjian, and was killed without interrogation.
Until now, Dong Qichao has not figured out what he said, which has made the emperor so angry? After hearing his story, Gui Bugui narrowed his eyes and said again: "The emperor turned against him when he heard that you were going to block the capital and go to find the demon's accomplices? Then what was he afraid of...
