Time flies. In the blink of an eye, it has been four months since Yue Su took over Yangshuo County. Because he sentenced two housekeepers of the Wu family in court, his reputation has spread. Many people have been grievances and dare to beat drums to complain. The public security of Yangshuo County

Things got much better all of a sudden, and no one dared to bully the weak and run rampant in the countryside. After Jin Chan and Tong Zhou became the head catchers, they had very strict requirements for their subordinates. Not only were they not allowed to bully the people, but they were also not allowed to accept regular charges, or even daily charges.

When I was on duty at the county government, I had to work hard.

At the beginning, the government officials were not used to it, so they just gritted their teeth and persevered for this job. As time went by, they became accustomed to it. After two months, they became energetic and were often praised when walking on the street.

On this day, Yue Su received the approval document for the Autumn Judgment issued by the Ministry of Punishment. After a brief inquiry, he found out that the list of death row prisoners reported last year had been approved. In a few days, the canonical sentence would be announced.

Yue Su didn't care at all, and followed the procedure to transfer it to the county magistrate for review, and finally handed it over to the chief registrar for filing, and that was it, waiting for the day of the Autumn Judgment. But that night, the county magistrate Xia Kuan secretly ran to the Wu family compound.

"Brother Wu, something is going to happen..."

When Wu Kui, who was sitting in the middle of the flower hall, saw Xia Kuan running over in a hurry and saying these words, he felt puzzled and said, "Master Xia, sit down and talk." After Xia Kuan sat down, he said again, "I don't know.

What do you mean, sir, when you say this? What is going to happen?"

"Brother Wu, can you remember the case of Guo Kai murdering his wife from years ago?"

Wu Kui thought for a long time, and he seemed to have such an impression, and said: "I have some impressions, what's wrong?"

"It's Qiu Jue's approval. In a few days, that Guo Kai will be beheaded at Caishikou."

"Isn't this great? If you die a hundred times, what will happen?" Wu Kui was even more puzzled.

"Brother Wu, are you confused? This is the first Autumn Judgment since the new Grand Master took office. Needless to say, he personally supervises the execution and will also take it very seriously. Guo Kai's case involves the young master of your house. If that boy

If you yell and scream before the execution, there is no guarantee that the new master will not question him. He already dislikes the family, and if he learns from Guo Kai that the case involves Mr. Ling, it will be hard to say whether he will retry it."

After hearing Xia Kuan's words, Wu Kui couldn't help but take a breath and said: "Yes, you are right, we must not let that kid talk nonsense before the execution." After thinking for a while, he added: "In this case, you can bribe it.

The two jailers are going to kill that kid tonight and make things clean."

Unexpectedly, Xia Kuan shook his head after hearing this, "Brother Wu, this is absolutely impossible. The death row prisoner died suddenly before execution, but it is a big deal. Not to mention that the new prince traced it, and the jailer could not afford to suffer the crime. Maybe it will happen again."

It was self-defeating and made him pay attention to this case."

"This won't work, that won't work either, so what do you think we should do?"

"In my opinion, it's better to bribe two jailers and cut off Guo Kai's tongue at night so that he can't speak during the execution. If he cuts it off with a knife, it will be over." Xia Kuan said with a smile.

"Good idea, good idea, it's settled." Wu Kui immediately stood up and shouted: "Come here, come to the accounting room and pay Mr. Xia a hundred taels of silver."

One hundred taels of silver to buy a tongue is really not cheap. Anyway, I gave you the money. I don’t care how much you spend on this matter or how much you have left.

In a blink of an eye, the official day of the Autumn Judgment arrived, and Yue Su was executed for the first time. Of course, he was very excited. Although he had arrested many prisoners in his previous life as a policeman, many of whom were sentenced to death, he had never seen a shooting scene with his own eyes.

I have never seen a beheading before. At most, I only saw it twice on TV. This time I was there, why don't I take a closer look, especially since he was the one supervising the beheading.

At 6 o'clock, the execution platform and execution platform were ready in Caishikou. Yue Su and Xia Kuan were sitting high on it. Golden cicadas, iron dragons, and young men stood aside. A group of government officials surrounded the execution platform to prevent the people from approaching. And

After a while, some officers picked up the prisoner and brought him directly to the execution platform. There was only one death row prisoner in Yangshuo County. Yue Su knew his name after reading the text. It seemed that his name was Guo Kai, who committed the murder of his wife.

.

Yue Su thought to himself, "In this world, if you can't kill anyone, you kill your own wife. What's the difference between this and an animal?"

There were no clocks these days, so Yue Su only knew that the operation was usually performed at three quarters in the afternoon. At this time, a servant brought an incense burner with an incense stick inserted in it. It should be that when the incense burned out, it would be time for the operation.

.

Yue Su sat chatting for a long time, glancing at the incense burner from time to time. The incense burnt really slowly, and it was only half burned so far. Yue Su had no choice but to lean on the chair and look at the death row prisoner on the execution platform.

I saw this death row prisoner dressed in white, kneeling in the middle of the execution platform, with disheveled hair and his head hanging low. After a while, he was lifted up and looked up at the sky. At this moment, Yue Su could see his face clearly. People are not good-looking.

He is handsome and honest, but Yue Su has been handling cases for many years and knows what it means to be a bad guy who doesn't have words written on his face and knows people but not their hearts.

The death row prisoner looked at the sky and lowered his head, as if he knew he was about to die soon, showing great sadness.

"Alas..." Yue Su sighed on the execution platform, "If I had known this would happen, why would I have..." Seeing the dejected look of the death row prisoner facing death, Yue Su could only say that this man was both pitiful and hateful.

.

The incense finally burned out, and Xia Kuan whispered from the side: "Sir, the time has come."

Yue Su nodded and ordered: "Come here, please verify your identity for me."

"Yes, sir." Immediately, a police officer ran over to check. After a while, he shouted loudly: "Sir, my identity has been verified. I am mistaken."

"Okay! Let's cut!" Yue Su shouted, took out the cutting stick and threw it downwards.

When the executioner saw the chop stick falling to the ground, he immediately raised the sword, made a posture, and was about to swing it down.

"Slow down!" At this time, someone suddenly shouted. The executioner was startled, and when he looked up, he saw that it was the county magistrate who shouted. The executioner didn't know what was going on, so he had no choice but to suspend the execution. Anyway, he was a part-time worker.

, I will chop when someone tells me to do it, and I will stop when they tell me to stop. I don’t dare to ask any more questions.

Xia Kuan, on the other hand, was so frightened that his heart nearly jumped out of his throat when he heard this voice.

"Ahem..." Yue Su coughed twice and stood up. The reason why he asked the executioner to stop was because he suddenly thought of something. It was his first time to be executed. Why couldn't he make a gesture and watch the excitement?

There are so many people, so why not take this example in front of you and do some propaganda and enlightenment work in front of the masses.

After being the county magistrate for the past few months, Yue Su already knows that the county magistrate's errands are not like those shown on TV, which focus on trying cases. He almost takes over all the errands in a county, such as educating the people and collecting taxes.

, building water conservancy projects, etc., are all his work.
