.Shield "

The moon on fifteen is full and sixteen is the last full moon in Jiajing forty years.

The silver basin-like moon sprinkled silver light on the ground of Yanzhao, clearly reflecting the outline of the horizon in the distance. "Dada. The sound of horse hooves from the ground came from a distance. Then, a horse's head appeared in the southeast direction. He was moving along the official road quickly. Soon, dozens of horses followed closely, maintaining a distance of two or three meters from the first rider. The horse's hooves rumbled. The moonlight on the ground broke and rushed straight to the northwest direction.

This is Chen Mo and his guards. They left Beijing only at the end of Shen Shizhong yesterday and rushed to Xuanfu. Xuanfu is known as the "first mansion in Jixi" and is the first mansion in the west of Beijing. It is more than 300 miles away from the capital. It is the key to the capital.

It is precisely because of this that there is the most complete station system along the way, strictly every twenty miles. Without this system support, it would be a dream to run nearly four hundred miles overnight.

Fortunately, he obtained the token of the Jinyiwei and the guide with the richest experience in night walking, one of which was the first rider who led the way. The Jinyiwei messenger who had been traveling back and forth between Xuanda and the capital for many years was extremely familiar with this post road, and led them to rush like meteors under the moonlight, using one post after another to maintain an uninterrupted high marching.

In the Xuanfu rod, Wang Si's body had been carried out, and the riot caused by the sudden death of the prisoner gradually subsided. After all, it is common to die in this purgatory prison, and there is nothing to make a fuss about.

But the two of Chen Lian and his son were extremely shocked. They knew very well that Wang Si was just an unlucky scapegoat. The one who should have died just now should be the two of them.

Chen Lian was still determined and recovered quickly. He sighed and said, "I won't kill Boren, Boren died because of me."

Chen Mian said with a pale face: "Why do they do this?"

"Maybe I'm afraid of the long night and the dreams." Chen Lian said softly: "I'm also afraid of saying something for my father. Who knows

"They failed this time. Will they find a way to murder my father again?" Chen Shuai said worriedly.

"What if he doesn't matter, he will die anyway. Sooner or later, it will be different." Chen Lian smiled, but said with great concern: "It's Zhong'er, you have to protect yourself." Even if you see your father beheaded, you can't be too sad. In short, be careful in words and actions, and everything is to go out."

"Dad," Chen Pei said with a sad look on his face: "I can't,"

"What can't?" Chen Lian said with a stern face: "Remember, for a young man who still has a long way to go, living is more important than anything else."

"Dad" Chen Zhong said in tears, and he said in a trembling voice: "I want to be a person like you."

"Don't learn from Dad. Although Dad doesn't regret it, he doesn't want his children to repeat the same mistakes." Chen Lianyu patted his shoulder earnestly and said, "If you can go out smoothly, tell your two brothers what Dad said below. As our Shen family, you are not allowed to violate it."

"Listen to my father's teachings!" Chen Shui knelt down on his knees and said solemnly.

"Now, my Shen family's children must pass on their family through farming and study, but they are not allowed to participate in the imperial examinations! They are not allowed to come out to be an official!" Chen Lian said in a deep voice: "Only in this way can they prosper for a long time, and they are worthy of their ancestors and the conscience of the people."

"Dad, don't you often educate us to cultivate ourselves and manage our family, govern the country and pacify the world?" Chen Zhong said in confusion: "But as you said just now, wouldn't you just clean up the snow in front of your door and not ask others?"

"Oh," Chen Lian sighed tiredly, "Maybe Dad is selfish, but you have to listen." The father and son said one by one. Listen, they didn't feel the passing of time at all. The sound of the rice spoon hitting the rice bucket was heard again, and it was breakfast time. As the horse team galloped, they saw a bright spot hanging in the distance. The knights couldn't help but cheer, because it was the angrily wind light hanging on the post station.

Soon, I could see clearly the lantern hanging high on the two-meter-high flagpole, and even the outline of the post station became clearer and clearer.

The station received the order one step earlier, and had prepared replacement horses and hot water and dry food so that they could change horses as soon as they arrived.

Since the evening of last year, they have not had a rest in silence. In addition, they have been walking at night and are very nervous. The guards all looked tired, but everyone didn't say a word, and there was no emotional fluctuation. This made the guide who wanted to see their jokes secretly amazed, thinking that Lord Shen's guards are not ordinary people.

But what surprised him even more was that Lord Shen, a pampered civil servant, could still hold on. Although he looked at his stiff movements of getting up and off the horse, he knew that the inner side of Lord Shen's thighs had been worn out and his waist was almost gone. But his expression was very calm, and there was no clue from his face alone.

"Sir, do you want to take a break?

The guide was a little moved and asked softly.

Wen Shu heard the voice and asked, "How far have you gone?"

"Stand twice to Huailai." The guide said, "You will arrive after walking 80 miles from Huailai."

"When is it now?" asked the Yicheng in silence.

"If you want to go back to the master, it will be three o'clock in the hour of Mao." Yi Cheng looked at the sky and said.

"There are three hours left, so I have to hurry up and say silently: "I would rather get a rest in advance than miss the hour because of rest." I called it three feet away, and the guards immediately crawled onto the horse and prepared.

The guide said silently with concern: "Are you okay?"

Silently smiled and said, "You have to do it if you don't. Lead the way!"

"Yes!" As if inspired by his spirit, the guide became a little excited. He turned over and squeezed the horse's belly and said, "It's dawn, I need to speed up and keep up!" Before he finished speaking, he ran out.

Chen Si and the others quickly chased after him. The news that Chen Lian and his son were poisoned to death finally poisoned others to death, but they made his father and son escape, which disappointed Yang Shun, so he thought about how to do it again.

After thinking for a long time, I had just had a bit of interest, but I waited for the eight hundred miles from Beijing to speed up and sent the reply from the Ministry of Justice.

After this noisy, he couldn't sleep. Yang Shun simply put on his clothes and got up. He asked someone to call Lu Kai, who lives next door, to figure out what to do.

Lu Kai was called out of the quilt and was sleepy. After listening to Yang Shun's story, he yawned and said repeatedly: "Since the Ministry of Justice's reply has arrived, then follow the rules to avoid being verbose in the future."

"But what if he is noisy?" Yang Shun asked.

"Put his mouth to him." Lu Kai replied indifferently.

"It's not difficult, but I heard it," Yang Shun frowned and said, "The disciples of Chen Lian brought young and strong people from Bao'anzhou to Xuanfu one after another. If they were asked publicly, would there be chaos?

Lu Kai woke up at this time and said in a deep voice: "Master, they are here just right! The unruly people are only a few, at best, only two or three hundred people, even the garrison troops in the city, there are thousands of people in your personal military camp. Are you afraid that they will rob the court of justice?" Then he explained to Yang Shun: "The traces of framed this case are too heavy, and the direction of the wind will change in the future. Someone will overturn the case. Then we will be troubled and sneered: "Let his disciples rob the court of justice, that is a serious crime of rebellion. I think who dares to overturn the case again!"

Yang Shun suddenly realized and praised: "A good trick! I'll tell you what you want!" Even though that was said, I can't be careless at all. If someone really robs me, it would be a big joke.

While there was still time, the two discussed it and finally decided that Lu Kai would come forward to punish him, and Yang Shun was in charge of the rear and respond at any time.

After the discussion was made, he sent someone to the intersection to clean the court. After breakfast, he lit up a thousand soldiers from the personal military camp, half of whom went to the court to set up defenses, and half of whom came to the prison to serve with the sword executioners from Xuanfu.

At the hour of Mao, the prison officer took two pieces of white wood that were more than two feet long and more than two inches wide and sent them to the prison officer. The prisoner was the card that was about to be inserted behind the death row prisoner.

Lu Kai then picked up his pen and wrote on one of the pieces, "A man who commits sin and slandering and making false words, joins cults, rebelling together, and kills them together!, and wrote on the other piece, "A man who commits sin and cures the son, should be punished by the crime, and should be punished by the crime."

Poor Chen Lian and his son, he thought that although Yang Shun Lu Kai retaliated, he would not harm his wife. Unexpectedly, those who harmed others were guilty and it was not enough to stop him. He had to cut off the roots and beat them all up in one go. Therefore, when the verdict sent to the Ministry of Justice for review, Lu Kai would naturally not be polite to him.

When the prisoner took the two prisoners into the prison by cards, Chen Lian was shocked, and Chen Zhong was even more scared and collapsed on the ground. It was not until the prisoner tied up the father and son, brushed the glue on his head, tied a pear horn, and inserted a red silk paper flower on each. Chen Lian woke up and shouted: "There is a cause for his injustice and the debt is a master. What does it have to do with my son!"

Most of the prisoners knew about Chen Lian. They looked at him with some sympathy, but only that was the only thing that could be done. What should I do! Regardless of Chen Lian's shouting, they half-carried and half-carried before the Green-faced Saint God Case, each with a bowl of long rest and left forever.

Chen Lian was still swearing at the top of his lungs. Chen Xiang was still unlucky and could not eat or drink. The prison guards pressed them and forced the wine. Then he took out two ropes with ropes at both ends, with wooden sticks in the middle. He put the wooden sticks across the mouths of father and son, and tied them tightly around the back of his head, and immediately "Ahhh, I can't speak."

Forced to quit the divine case, and thirty or forty prisoners smuggled Shen in front and branches behind, pushed out of the prison door and sent it to the prison van. The five hundred personal soldiers and the swordsman took over, surrounded the governor's mansion, and circled around the city. Countless people followed and watched, asking who the prisoner was on the prison van.

Someone looked up at the criminal card and read it loudly. Only then did everyone realize that it was Mr. Chen, who was scolding the handsome man at the gate, and his son, who couldn't help but look at him. The mood of watching the excitement was gone. "The people were not blind, and naturally knew who was right and who was wrong, and who knew who Mr. Chen Lianchen was talking to!

As the news spread, more people came out and surrounded the streets, and they couldn't get through. They had no other idea, just to send Mr. Chen who spoke to the people.

The prison van was moving very slowly. Chazi, who was standing on both sides, was a little uneasy and used a ghost-headed knife to hold the two of them. If someone wanted to rob the prison van, he could give him two big heads as soon as he got on his eyes. An old man with a white beard seemed to be the head of Chazi. Seeing the scenes along the way, he couldn't help but sigh: "Men have been in this business for thirty years, and there are thousands of prisoners who have been sent away by himself, but he has never seen such a scene."

The young Chazi said, "Yes, I'm so much more watching the fun today."

"Your dog eyes are blind!" the old man cursed: "Didn't you see any difference today compared to the original one?"

"It's a little different, indeed." Another executioner said: "There are a lot more people, but they are not as quarrels as before."

"No," the old man nodded and said, "Do you know why?"

"Why?" asked several clans.

"Because I always watch the fun," said the old man, "I'm here to see you off today!" and said in a low voice, "You'll do a lot of work later, don't make Mr. Chen feel uncomfortable." Chazi's head beheading is also knowledgeable. He can use one knife to pass through the different parts of his body, but he doesn't even feel anything. He can cut half of the side with one knife, and it's still connected half of it, so that people can't survive or die." This is not the difference between craftsmanship, but the question of whether he has money or not.

But they were jealous of money when they saw each other again. They didn't dare to risk being hated by the whole city to silence.

Fortunately, Xuanfu City was not big. Although the escorts were moving forward, they still took the prison car to the intersection of the city-Cao Crossing Road before noon. On the already built execution ground, the prison guards invited the father and son from the car, and brought Chen Lian to the north and north, and sat down with the two of them facing each other, waiting for the prison officer to arrive at the three o'clock in the afternoon to start the operation.

The people all followed, surrounding the court of justice. In the crowd, there were countless pairs of eyes hiding raging and angry. They stared at Shen Lian on the execution platform.

The personal soldiers of the Governor's Office, who were in charge of the alert, were very nervous, and the long spear and fire mirror were facing the people watching the punishment. The atmosphere was extremely tense, but strangely quiet, as if the moment before the storm came.

Finally, the quiet was broken, and there was a commotion at the intersection of the street to the east, and countless pairs of eyes looked over. The crowd surged.

Qian households in charge of security were nervous and shouted loudly: "The prison officer is here! They are blocking them, come out from the road!" The personal soldiers used gun handles to drive away the people occupying the road, and shouted: "Go back! Go back!" But the crowd still rushed forward.

Qianhu thought, "I was very prepared. So I ordered a hundred soldiers to carry benches and stand behind the front-line soldiers. Nodded at the "discreet people" who were thrusting hard into the "discreet people" and whipped them with their whips. Finally, they set up a passage for Lu Kai and his guards. The deceased officer squeezed into the court in a little embarrassed manner.

With his neatly crooked clothes, Lu Kai sat in the temporary prison slaughter platform. Before he could breathe evenly, he saw a thin man passing through the defense line of the personal soldiers of the Governor's Office. While running towards him, he shouted loudly: "It's wronged, Mr. Chen is wronged!" Before he finished speaking, he was rushed to the ground by the soldiers following him. He was still struggling there and shouting: "It's wronged that Mr. Chen is wronged!"

At this time, some people in the crowd shouted, "Don't kill Mr. Chen, he is wronged!" Then more people shouted. The crowd suddenly became excited and rushed forward like a tide, and it was useless to use a whip.

Qiangu, who was in charge of security, was anxious and ordered loudly: "Release the throne!"

"Bang bang bang" bang bang" continuous and dense sounds roared, and fire was everywhere, and white smoke floated by. People panic checked their bodies, but no one was injured.

"This time, it's going toward the sky!" Qianhu threatened the people with the greatest strength: "Who will be in a commotion next time? Please keep your head open!" But the crowd was still in agitation, which made the personal soldiers who maintained order even more nervous. They whipped the pole and kept scolding loudly, and the fire mirror player pointed his mouth at the people in the front row and was ready to fire at any time.

At the same time, some young people with swords and arrows on their backs had taken the opportunity to touch the front row. They were disciples of the new security guards. These young people who were ignorant of the world were really preparing to rob the law!

The two sides were less than six feet apart. A battle that could destroy countless people was about to begin in a blink of an eye. But at this time, everyone's eyes were all focused on Lu Kai, waiting for him to leave the fire sign for the execution of the death penalty.

Lu Kai was also waiting, because the time for killing people at noon was determined by heaven. It cannot be early or late. While waiting, Lu Zhi looked up at the sky, but saw the sky as blue as washing, the sun was hanging high in the sky, and the sun was already in the middle of the sky. He slowly walked west.

"It's three o'clock in the afternoon. Execution!" Lu Kai decided to cut the mess quickly and threw down the fire sign!

The crowd suddenly started to riot. Someone took the lead in rushing in!

Seeing this scene, Lu panicked and thought to himself that this was a riot, so he whispered with all his strength: "Hurry up, kill someone!"

The executioners raised their swords and looked at their son who had already improved, with apology in their eyes.

Finally, he turned his gaze to the empty street intersection in the distance, hoping for a miracle to happen,
Chapter completed!
