Chen Xing subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound, and was shocked after seeing the situation on the other side.On the street where there were not many pedestrians, there was a mighty procession entering from the street at this time, slowly passing by under the gaze of everyone.

In the middle of the line were several prison cars, and on the prison cars stood the prisoners of the Lai family who were about to be sent to the execution ground. They all looked numb at this moment, and there was no emotion on their dirty faces.

On both sides of the prison car were officials responsible for escorting the prisoners, and civilians who followed the car with vegetable baskets and took out rotten leaves and rotten eggs from inside and threw them on the prison car.

Chen Xing stared dumbfounded at the scene in front of him. Looking at the dozen or so prisoners who couldn't see their true colors, he struggled to recognize the mighty Lai Jiu who was dirtier than a beggar.

Seeing the ferocious young man who was arrogant and didn't take anyone seriously, turned into the current state, Chen Xing's mood was extraordinarily complicated.

As the team approached, Chen Xing could even smell the stench of the prisoners, and he couldn't help covering his nose.

Looking at the people who seemed to be unable to smell their body odor and were still venting their anger, Chen Xing couldn't help but wonder how many bad things they had done to make these people hate them so much .

But before Chen Xing could come up with a reason, the long line passed before his eyes, leading those evildoers and their victims towards their final judgment place.

Chen Xing looked at the crowd that was getting far away, and before he had time to react, he heard an indifferent voice from the side, "Do you want to go and have a look?"

Chen Xing recovered from his trance, turned his head and saw Gu Lang looking at him, his dark eyes were full of his own reflection, as if his eyes could only accommodate himself.

However, Gu Lang misunderstood Chen Xing's staring at him and not speaking as he didn't hear his question just now.

Gu Lang sighed softly, looked at the absent person in front of him, and said in a gentle voice, "Do you want to follow along and see how they executed in the end?"

Chen Xing licked his dry lips for some reason, and asked in a daze, "What will happen to them?"

Gu Lang's eyes were cold and his voice was cold, "I will be sentenced to death."

Chen Xing felt a little cruel. He wasn't sure if he, a person born in the modern society, would spit out seeing such a bloody scene.Just when Chen Xing was about to tell Gu Lang that he was not going, a large group of scholars came out from the bookstore he had just left, and they hurriedly chased after the prisoner escort.

"Hurry up, I heard that the magistrate personally presided over this time, we might be able to see the end from beginning to end now."

"We people should take the county magistrate as an example. If we become officials in the future, we must be a good official who eliminates harm for the people like the magistrate."

"Yes, if I encounter such villains in the future, I will bring them all to justice like the magistrate."

"Such a heinous person, simply beheading them is simply cheap."

Chen Xing looked at them rushing to watch the execution, and he couldn't recover. He felt that these young people were not at all the same as the weak and weak scholars in his impression.

Chen Xing stared at their backs for a while, and he didn't look away until he heard a voice next to his ear.

"What are you looking at?"

Chen Xing looked at Gu Lang with some embarrassment, hesitated for a moment, and still expressed his thoughts, "I think those scholars are a little too courageous, in my impression, scholars are generally weak in writing .”

Gu Lang looked down at the blushing brother in front of him. Where he couldn't see, the corner of his mouth curved into a mocking arc, but his voice was as gentle as ever, "If you don't even have the courage to do so, you will be considered an official in the future. What can you do? Being an official has never been something that can be done with just a little knowledge.”

Chen Xing felt that what Gu Lang said was a bit strange, and when he looked up, he saw Gu Lang's indifferent expression.

Perhaps it was Chen Xing's gaze that made Gu Lang realize that something was wrong with his words. The cold expression on his face quickly disappeared, and he returned to his usual gentle and refined appearance. He looked down at Chen Xing and smiled. Said: "So, do you want to go and see now?"

When Gu Lang asked this question, he was already ready for them to go back home. After all, from his observation just now, Chen Xing didn't seem to like such bloody things very much.

Unexpectedly, after thinking for two seconds, Chen Xing said with a strange expression on his face: "Let's go over and have a look. I want to see how they execute the execution. If, if I really can't bear it, we will go back."

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing with a troubled expression, hooked the corners of his lips, and said softly, "Okay."

Although Chen Xing said he wanted to watch it, when he actually passed, he was still a little timid to see those bloody scenes.When he and Gu Lang came to the place, he was completely stunned when he saw the lively crowd.

Chen Xing originally thought that there were at most the victimized people and the people who came to see the fun. The total number of people would not exceed 100, but who knew that there were more than [-] people here when they came to the scene.

Looking at this lively scene that seemed to be going to a market, the psychological construction that Chen Xing had built for himself just now collapsed, and he suddenly felt less afraid.

Gu Lang, who had been following Chen Xing all the time, was exceptionally calm. After he calmly glanced at the crowd gathered here with various purposes, he fixed his eyes on the high platform in front of the execution ground.

When Chen Xing hadn't recovered from the execution atmosphere of the vegetable market, the surrounding voices suddenly quieted down, and then he heard the loud voice of the official from the front, "Everyone, be quiet, magistrate I have something to say!"

After the officer finished saying this, the whispering voices in the field completely fell silent.

The official seemed very satisfied with the effect, nodded, and gave up his position, and the county magistrate behind him.The magistrate of the county was wearing an official uniform and stood majestically on it.

I don't know if it was because of today's punishment or other reasons, but Chen Xing felt that the face of the magistrate, who was still a little bit literary, now had a bit more murderous look.

Chen Xing was still wondering why the magistrate of the county had such a change. The county magistrate standing above waved his sleeves and said loudly to the people below: "We gathered here today to witness the fate of the Lai family with our own eyes. , I hope that you can take this as a warning, and be strict with yourself in the future, not to do harm to others, or to commit crimes."

"Yes!" As soon as he finished speaking, the people below responded in unison as if they had received some call.

The county magistrate was very satisfied with the scene in front of him. He raised the token in his hand and said loudly: "Now, bring the prisoner up!"

As soon as the magistrate's order came out, the Lai family, who had long been released from the prison van, were immediately dragged by the officials to the guillotine.

Chen Xing looked at those Lai family members who struggled desperately and were dragged to the guillotine like dead dogs in the end, and their mood was extremely complicated.

"The Lai family has committed a heinous crime today. According to the law of the current dynasty, the whole family should be executed. Considering his wife's innocence, he let her go. The rest of the sinners will be executed at noon today! its sins."

As soon as the county magistrate's words fell, the men who were dragged up were pressed down on the guillotine by the officials. The executioners next to them were already ready, and they were about to start when they gave an order.

Under the various complicated emotions of the people, the sun rose into the sky little by little, and the yamen servant who was in charge of keeping an eye on the time looked at the overlapping sun clock and said loudly: "It's time!"

I saw that the magistrate of the county threw out the token in his hand and shouted at the same time: "Execution!"

Then Chen Xing felt his eyes go dark before he had time to react, he was stunned for a moment, and soon realized that someone was covering his eyes, he wanted to pull the hand covering his eyes reflexively, But only heard a cold voice from behind, "Do you want to see their heads fall?"

Chen Xing froze in an instant, he recognized that it was Gu Lang's voice, the hand on Gu Lang's wrist didn't move, and he just let Gu Lang stand there covering his eyes.

After Gu Lang glanced at the obedient Chen Xing, he shifted his gaze to the stage, and saw that the executioner's hands raised their knives, and the heads fell on the stage, with blood flowing down their necks.

The expression on Gu Lang's handsome face did not fluctuate at all, it was as calm as if he had seen such a scene countless times before.

Chen Xing's eyes were covered, so he couldn't see the surrounding situation. Instead, other senses around him became more sensitive. Soon, a faint scent of medicine floated into his nose. The scent was not strong, but a little cold The taste is like the feeling of Gu Lang's whole person.

Thinking that the medicinal fragrance came from Gu Lang's body, and he was still being held in Gu Lang's arms, Chen Xing's face turned red involuntarily.He was even glad that Gu Lang was standing behind him and blindfolded him, otherwise his current state would definitely be more embarrassing if Gu Lang saw him.

Just as Chen Xing was immersed in an inexplicable sense of shame, the punishment for the Lai family was over.

Gu Lang looked indifferently at those Lai family members who were not implicated, and brought their children to the side of the decapitated corpses, crying and crying. The hand covering Chen Xing's eyes never moved a bit until The person in front of him gently grabbed his hand and asked vigilantly, "Is it over?"

Gu Lang looked down at Chen Xing, who was being held in his arms, vigilantly like a captured small animal. The corners of his mouth slightly curled up, and his voice returned to his usual gentle voice, "It's over."

Afterwards, Gu Lang took Chen Xing away from the execution ground, and after making sure that there was no trace of blood, he let go of the hand that covered his eyes.

Chen Xing, who regained his light, blinked his eyes, looked at Gu Lang in front of him, and muttered softly, "Why did you cover my eyes?"

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing's muttering and complaining, and the gloomy emotions that arose during the execution just now began to dissipate little by little.

Gu Lang raised the corners of his lips with a gentle expression, "Because I'm worried that someone will be scared at night if they read it."
