Chapter 688: Watching the beheading


    Hundreds of individual prisoners are quite impressive.


    There are all kinds of people, men, women, old and young.


    Some prisoners had shackles on their feet and hands, and some had nothing at all.


    ??Gu Fei suspected that the shackles from the Ministry of Punishment were not enough. There were more than 400 prisoners at this time. These things were definitely not enough.


    ?These prisoners, all with numb faces, gradually walked to an open space in the center amid the shouts and shouts of the officers and soldiers.


    Kneel on the ground in darkness.


    ??The prison officer took out the imperial edict and recited it, then threw down a piece of decree and shouted, "Start the execution!"


    I saw that the officers and soldiers had already pushed some of the people in front out.


    There are too many people, so we can only cut them in batches.


    The first ten were pushed down and knelt down in front.


    The executioners worked in groups of three.


    ?First remove the clothes on the prisoner''s upper body, one pulls the prisoner''s hair forward, and the other pulls his arms back, exposing a smooth and straight neck.


    This should prevent people from shrinking or dodging. It should be noted that dodging is human instinct.


    ?Gu Fei’s eyes fell on a bearded executioner, and he saw the man pick up a wine gourd and take a swig.


    Then the executioner shouted: "Behead!"


    ??I saw a bright flash of sword light, he raised the knife and dropped it, and ten heads rolled to the ground.


    ?Some people on the ground were still kneeling, with blood rushing up from their headless necks like high-pressure fountains.


    ??Xiao Yu glanced at Gu Fei carefully at this time, he was afraid that she was not feeling well.


    ??Gu Fei was okay, it wasn''t that he had never killed anyone before, but this scene, seeing ten heads falling to the ground at the same time, was still a bit shocking.


    Soon, the next group of ten people were pushed out and knelt down.


    ?Gu Fei watched for a while, and even a three-year-old child was killed.


    ?The executioner''s knife happened to cut off too many heads, and the blade was curled. It was not cut off with one stroke of the knife, and half of the other end was still attached to the top.


    ??Gu Fei couldn''t stand it anymore and pulled Xiao Yu, "Let''s go."


    ??Xiao Yu pulled her forward and after walking for a while, Xiao Yu saw a restaurant in front of him and said, "We might as well have dinner at the restaurant at noon today."


    ?Gu Fei had no objection. The two went in and asked for a private room. They ate slowly before going back.


    Go back through the back corner door.


    As soon as they walked to the door, they saw the door in the back corner was open. The two looked at each other and walked in quickly.


    Not far away, he saw several officers and soldiers coming out of a room. Xiao Yu shouted sharply, "Who are you? What are you doing?"


    Several officers and soldiers were stunned for a moment, "Who are you?"


    Xiao Yu shouted and his eyes fell on the jade carving held by an officer and soldier, "I am the Crown Prince of Qi. What on earth are you doing? Robbery?"


    The officers and soldiers looked at me, and I looked at you, and one of them said: "This is all a misunderstanding. There is a lot of chaos in the capital now. The emperor is worried about the safety of the prince, so let us ask the prince and his concubine to change places to live."


    ??Xiao Yu sneered and looked at the jade carvings in the hands of the officers and soldiers, "Put down your things first and let your superiors come to see me!"


    ??The officers and soldiers twitched their lips, put down the jade sculpture, and quickly ran to the front yard.


    After a while, a man wearing a red guard uniform came over with a group of officers and soldiers.


    ??Gu Fei looked at his clothes and recognized that they were official robes from the fourth rank. This man should be the envoy of Zhu Yiwei Town.


    ??The governor smiled at the two of them in a nonchalant manner, and said, "Misunderstandings are all misunderstandings."


    “I have received the emperor’s oral instructions, asking the prince and his concubine to change places to live. Unexpectedly, no one opened the door after calling for a long time, so I had to break in.”
