Chapter 655: The Emperor and the Thief(2/2)
The entire hall was filled with dead silence, leaving only Zhang Jiao laughing maniacally.
Emperor Ling's face was gloomy, and the fingers shrunk under the dragon robe were trembling slightly, "Push... push it out and kill it!"
Immediately, some warriors rushed up and dragged Zhang Jue out to behead him.
"Slow down!" Zhang Jiao suddenly struggled.
Emperor Ling thought that Zhang Jiao was asking for his life, so he showed disdain and ordered the warrior to stop.
Zhang Jue, whose legs were completely useless, was held up by two warriors like a torn bag. He was in a state of embarrassment. Zhang Jue glanced at the Emperor Ling and all the civil and military officials in the palace. He said bitterly, "I think that since I started the uprising,
Soldiers and horses roared from thirty-six directions, almost overwhelming!
The army of your imperial court to suppress thieves, including Lu Zhi, Dong Zhuo, Huangfu Song, etc., are all pigs and dogs, vulnerable to a single blow! Hmph! If it weren’t for Liu Xuande of Zhuozhou, how could I have been defeated or captured by him?”
"Liu Xuande!
"Zhang Jue looked excited, struggling like crazy, and the iron chains that locked his hands and feet jingled. Zhang Jue gritted his teeth with infinite hatred, and cursed at the top of his lungs, "The dog thief Liu Xuande! I can't wait to see you.
Eat your flesh and sleep on your skin! You will not die a good death! You will not die a good death!"
Zhang Jue made a death struggle, and Emperor Ling frowned and ordered Zhang Jue to be taken to Dongshi to be executed.
Zhang Jiao escorted him away, and all the civil and military officials in the palace were puzzled and began to whisper, who is this Liu Xuande?
The generals Huangfu Song and others who were attacking the thieves exchanged glances, and the generals looked a little ugly.
——
Afterwards, Emperor Ling set off, followed by hundreds of officials, and went to Luoyang East City to observe the execution.
The thief was about to be executed. Dongshi was crowded with people, and the onlookers climbed all over the walls and branches.
Zhang Jiao was tied to a wooden stake, and the executioners kept bringing bundles of firewood and piling them up around Zhang Jiao, obviously intending to burn Zhang Jiao to death on the spot.
Zhang Jiao, who was about to die, still scolded him.
"Liu Xuande! A certain curse will prevent you from dying well!"
"Even if someone dies, even if he turns into a fierce ghost, he will never get around you!"
"The dog thief Liu Xuande has made Huang Tian's great cause impossible. I hate him!"
…
Amidst Zhang Jue's vicious curses, a mountain of firewood was piled up, surrounding Zhang Jue.
Emperor Ling ordered that the execution be carried out immediately.
Countless torches were thrown at the firewood pile, and the fire quickly spread and quickly became a fierce fire. The fire engulfed Zhang Jiao. In the fire, Zhang Jiao was still laughing and cursing, "Liu Xuande! You can't die well! You have to die!"
What a death!
It’s a terrible death!”
As the flames became more fierce, Zhang Jiao was covered in fire and burned into a burning man. Zhang Jiao cursed endlessly, and his curses became more and more shrill.
Emperor Ling and the officials wanted to watch Zhang Jue burn alive in order to relieve their hatred.
The people of Luoyang who were watching only heard about Zhang Jiao's rebellion and knew that Zhang Jiao was a monster. Now that they saw Zhang Jiao being executed, they cheered overwhelmingly.
When the fire burned out, ashes and sparks flew all over the city.
I don't know when, the sky became gloomy, and soon, a strong wind suddenly started, dust flew around, and the wind and dust blurred the eyes. I don't know how many of the civil and military officials who were watching the execution raised their sleeves to cover their faces, and I don't know how many people raised their heads as if they were feeling something.
Look at the sky.
The sky was as gloomy as a pocket of black water, with dark clouds covering the sun.
Suddenly the sky changed drastically.
Suddenly, there was a thunderclap, followed by muffled thunder. Suddenly, amid the roaring fire, Zhang Jiao raised his head to the sky and laughed loudly, "Thunder Lord, help me!"
Immediately, there was a loud bang in the sky, and a barrel-thick thunder fell from the sky and struck Zhang Jiao on the head.
Suddenly, in the execution ground, thunder was dazzling and sparks exploded. The Ling Emperor stood up in shock by the sudden thunder and stared at the execution ground with horrified eyes. All the civil and military officials were even more horrified. As for the onlookers,
The common people, howling in terror, fell down the walls and ran away in deserted areas, not to mention the number of them.
An instant later, a heavy rain suddenly fell, and the heavy rain extinguished the fire in the execution ground completely.
Yulin's bodyguards came forward to check and reported that Zhang Jiao's body had been scorched black by thunder and he had been killed on the spot. The iron chains connecting Zhang Jiao were turned into molten iron by the thunder.
Zhang Jiao, who was supposed to be burned to death, was struck by thunder. This incident was very strange. In the pouring rain, Emperor Ling's eyes were straight and he was in shock, and all the civil and military officials felt sad.
At this time, Cai Yong, a great scholar, reported that Zhang Jiao raised an army to rebel and poisoned all living beings, which was not tolerated by heaven and earth. This was a punishment from heaven.
