Chapter 52 I Found a Demon(1/2)

Even though autumn has begun.

The sun is still hot at noon.

The people who came to the execution ground early to watch the lively people were sweating profusely and were all looking forward to it.

People were talking excitedly.

Other people's pain will become their pastime after dinner.

finally.

A team of people holding sharp weapons escorted the suspect.

The bride was still wearing the big red wedding robe from the wedding that night.

But at this time, the wedding robe had changed color, covered with dust and grass chips, and even blood was everywhere.

Her hair was disheveled, drooping her head, unable to see the expression on her face.

But the thin figure looked so sad.

People were talking excitedly and pointing fingers.

The scene of throwing rotten eggs and messy leaves did not appear.

In this era, most people who are at the bottom of the country cannot eat enough, so they will not be willing to throw away those things.

People took the initiative to make way.

Xu Xian squeezed into the crowd, looking at the bride in the prison car, and was secretly confused.

Su Xiaoyu told him that the bride would dress up before leaving, and would change into her new clothes and reincarnate beautifully.

But at this time, the bride was still so embarrassed.

Maybe it's because I'm afraid of arousing public anger.

When murdering your own husband is in the bridal chamber, people are prone to making trouble.

If you dress up cleanly, you will be angry.

The bride was taken to the execution stand.

A clearing of an open space was cleared by officers and soldiers holding sharp weapons.

For safety reasons, the county yamen runners and head guards came to maintain order around them.

The executioner seems to have not arrived yet.

In the temporary shed, the yamen runners brought clean tables and chairs, which were neatly arranged.

Xu Xian squeezed towards the inside with force.

Until he was about to touch the spear in the hands of the officers and soldiers.

He knew that when the execution was about to be executed, these officers and soldiers holding spears were all nervous. Whoever dared to step closer would be likely to be killed on the spot by those who were regarded as robbery.

So, his eyes were fixed on the empty space in the shed.

The moment the executioner appeared, he must go in as soon as possible, otherwise he would never have a chance.

As for whether the other party will pay attention to him or whether he will let him go in and listen to him, he can only pray to heaven.

Time passes slowly.

It's time for execution soon.

But the executioner has not appeared yet.

Xu Xian was anxious and sweating behind her back.

The bride was pressed to kneel on the stage.

The executioner, holding a cold sword in his arms, stood behind her.

A burst of cry suddenly sounded in the crowd.

A middle-aged couple cried and wanted to rush in, begging, "Let me in! Let me go in and see my daughter! I am her mother!"

Behind him, a middle-aged man pulled her and shed tears silently.

The yamen runner who maintained order came and stopped her outside, saying, "No one can go in without the instructions of the adults."

The adults naturally refer to the executioner.

Some prisoners may be allowed to see their relatives before they are executed, eat a few bites of guillotine and drink a few bites of guillotine wine.

But not every prisoner has this opportunity.

The woman was still crying and was about to rush in.

A girl in a green skirt suddenly walked out behind her, pulled her with the middle-aged man, and said to the yamen runner in front of her: "Brother Zhang, can you let her in and see her daughter for the last time?"

The head yamen runner saw her and immediately said, "Miss, no. Lord Liang hasn't come yet. Without his instructions, no one can go in."

The girl in green skirt is Su Xiaoyu, a daughter of the county magistrate.

Today she did not go to the college, but came here alone.

I originally wanted to stand in the crowd, watch everything silently, and then leave, but I still couldn't help it and came out to hold the bride's mother and wanted to help her get in.

"Brother Zhang, when will Lord Liang come? The execution time is coming soon."

Su Xiaoyu asked in a choked voice.

The yamen runner looked back and smiled bitterly, "I don't know either. It's said that Lord Liang should have arrived long ago, and I don't know why he hasn't come to the stage yet."

The woman's crying came to the stage.

The bride, kneeling on the stage, with long hair spread out and her head hanging down, suddenly raised her head and looked down at the stage with a pale face. Her originally wooden eyes suddenly shed tears.

"Zijun! Zijun! My daughter!"

When the woman saw this scene, she burst into tears again.

The middle-aged man couldn't help it, and tears flowed.

They didn't believe that their daughter would kill the groom on the wedding night.

At this time, the time has come.

But in the shed on the stage, the executioner still hadn't arrived yet.

The crowd became a little restless.

The yamen runners who maintained order, as well as the officers and soldiers, frequently looked back at the stage, and were a little strange and anxious.

The strong executioner, with the big knife in his arms, leaning on the ground, also looked a little impatient.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came: "The executioner is here!"

People finally calmed down.

The bride, kneeling on the execution platform and covered in tears, lowered her head again.

Her mother cried loudly, "Sir! Sir! Please let me in and see my daughter!"

Su Xiaoyu hurriedly said to the yamen runner: "Brother Zhang, go and report to Lord Liang and let their mother meet for the last time."

The yamen runner looked embarrassed: "Miss, this... this time has come, I dare not go. Besides, that's the master of the Demon-Slaying Department. I'm afraid I can't even get on the stage."

"The time is here, prepare for execution!"

At this moment, a cold voice suddenly interrupted their conversation.

The yamen runner immediately showed an incomparable expression.

The woman was crying loudly. When Su Xiaoyu was anxious, a voice suddenly came from the crowd next to her: "Leave it under the knife! Leave it under the knife!"

Everyone looked at them.

The officers and soldiers holding sharp weapons gathered over in a hurry, thinking that they were robbing the law, and pointed the spears in their hands.

Xu Xian shouted: "Sir! Please let me go up and say a few words! I have something important to report!"

He was afraid that the devil-killing officer would not pay attention to him, so he immediately shouted: "I know the news about the evil demon! I found a big evil demon!"

As soon as these words were said, everyone's faces changed.

The officers and soldiers who were preparing to besiege him were also surprised.

The voice of the executioner immediately came from the stage: "Take him up."

Xu Xian breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly followed the two officers and soldiers, turned around and blinked at Su Xiaoyu, and signaled: Look at me!

Su Xiaoyu looked at him blankly.

The executioner is a middle-aged man wearing a black robe and a majestic face. He is tall and thin, and exudes a cold aura all over his body.

When Xu Xian got closer, he immediately said respectfully: "I have met the adult, Caomin is a student of Qingshan Academy. I have something to report."

The executioner looked at him coldly and said, "Don't call himself a grass-roots person. My name is Liang Shaotang. He once taught at Qingshan Academy, so he can be regarded as your teacher."

When Xu Xian heard this, he felt happy and hurriedly said, "Student Xu Xian, I have met Teacher Liang."
