Chapter 17 Sixteenth Falun Gong

For nearly a hundred years, the execution grounds for the execution of death row prisoners have always been at Caishikou. On the day someone was about to be executed, people who heard the news and came to see the excitement surrounded the execution ground layer by layer early in the morning, vying to be the first , Tens of thousands of people flocked, more lively than going to the temple fair on the first day of the new year. Killing people is definitely not a fun thing, let alone a good-looking thing, but everyone has to wait to see the fresh and exciting energy when the blade cuts off the head and falls to the ground.

Is this because there is indeed a cruel and violent viciousness lurking in human nature? All the corrupt officials, treacherous ministers and thieves who were sentenced to death in the past hundred years were all executed here, except this time. Every time someone is executed, the common people are not prohibited from watching the execution, and this time is also an exception. This was a top-secret operation, and no one could step into the execution ground except the executioner who carried out the incident and a team of Wei's hospitable cronies. Wei Haoke told his guards face-to-face that anyone who finds anyone else entering the execution ground will be killed without hesitation.

The secret court is located in a coal-fired compound behind the dining room of the Ministry of Justice. The coal balls fired at the turn of autumn and winter last year have not been used up until now. Take them out to dry, and line them up neatly in the yard. Looking from a distance, they look like burnt human heads. Now the weather is getting warmer, so Lao Zhan, the steward of the coal yard, sealed the coal-fired kiln a few days ago to prevent the kiln from getting damp and troublesome when lighting a fire to burn coal. The official room in front uses high-quality coking coal and charcoal. Except for the cook from the dining room who comes here to collect coal every morning, there is no one at all.

But now there are guards with swords patrolling around the courtyard, and there is a long case for public housing and a chair covered with a big red cloth on the lee of the wall.When the execution came at three quarters in the afternoon, the supervisor and beheader sat here. Who is today's supervisor and beheader, even the guards patrolling the scene don't know. This situation is usually rare. The inside and outside of the execution ground have been checked several times. Those beggars and rascals who usually snoop around, looking for a chance to steal a few coal balls and go back to cook for warmth, have all been purged. Even the old steward of the coal yard, Zhan Tumors are not allowed to stay here.

Unfortunately, there are exceptions to everything. No one would have imagined that in such a tightly guarded place, someone would sneak in and hide in a very secret place, waiting to see Ding Ning's head fall to the ground. It wasn't until just before noon that the execution officer appeared in the secret room in the cell that was specially prepared for Wei Haoke as a resting place for him to drink tea. This supervisor has a mighty expression, with huge bones, but is thin, with gray hair, and a pair of triangular eyes on a thin and ice face, his eyes are radiant with fierceness. It seems that nothing in the world can escape him. These sharp eyes.

Although he was wearing a half-worn sixth-rank official uniform, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like a member of the public family. Especially those big hands, the veins on the back of the hands protrude like coiled snakes, the calluses on the palms are almost half an inch thick, and the temples on the foreheads are also protruding high. Although there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the Criminal Department, there will never be such a character. Wei Haoke had been waiting in the secret room for a long time, and he was relieved when he saw this person appear.

"Thank goodness you finally made it in time." The supervisor's voice was low and hoarse, and he quickly asked a series of questions, "Apart from you, does anyone else know that I'm coming?" "No." Wei Haoke emphasized: "Absolutely not." "Is it really Peng Shisandou who executed the sentence?" "Jiang Duanxian is executing the sentence, and Jiang Duanxian is Peng Shisandou." "Has the execution ground been cleared?" "Yes." Wei Haoke said: "I have personally supervised and checked three times, and the guards on the field are all trained by myself, there will never be any problems."

"Where's the prisoner?" The supervisor asked, "I heard that he was also a powerful character." "Not only powerful, but very powerful." "You tied him up already?" "certainly." "What did you tie him up with?" Wei Haoke did not answer this sentence, but took out a black rope from his body.It seems unremarkable. The supervisor took it over, clenched his hands, and pulled it hard, the veins on the back of his hands were throbbing, the veins on his forehead also appeared, and the joints all over his body were crackling. The rope did not break.

Wei Haoke leisurely: "If you can't stop pulling this rope, who else in the world can break free?" "You're right." The supervisor said, "Goodbye." Wei Haoke was dumbfounded. "Goodbye?" He asked the beheading officer, "What does goodbye mean?" Of course, Mr. Wei would not understand the meaning of goodbye, he just didn't believe it. He never believed that the supervisor and beheader whom he specially hired with a lot of money would leave suddenly. But now he had to believe it, because the person he thought would never leave had walked out of the door and told him.

"Goodbye means I'm leaving." The supervisor said, "Now I can say it again, once again!" Sure enough, he said again, "Goodbye." "No, you can't say goodbye to me." Wei Haoke rushed up to stop him, "Anyone else can say goodbye, but you can't." "why?" "Because you still have one hundred and fifty-seven thousand five hundred taels of silver that you haven't taken away." Wei Haoke said, "You promised to do this for me but you didn't do it." "I won't do this anymore." The supervisor said: "So I can't ask for money."

Of course Wei Haoke asked again: "Why?" "Actually, you should know it even if you don't ask," the supervisor said, "You already knew me very well many years ago." What kind of person is this supervisor? Of course he is a very strange person, not only has a strange personality, strange martial arts, but also a strange job. Looking around the world, there will never be more than three people with his job. In a certain way, he can be regarded as a "safety protector", but the nature of what he does is completely different from that of a bodyguard. A bodyguard is a person who protects other people's lives and properties when a crime occurs, but his task is to prevent it. Before the crime occurs, he will stop it in advance and eliminate it fundamentally. The object he protects is not only the life and property of others, but also prevents all possible crimes and accidents. For example, if a forest farm is blackmailed or threatened by an enemy gangster, it is likely to be set on fire. If he can be invited, this danger will be eliminated. Because he can definitely find out every possible arsonist and every suspicious clue in advance. He was by no means a firefighter, but as long as he was there, this case of arson would never have happened.This is of course much better than trying to extinguish the fire after it has started. So of course his charges are much higher than that of ordinary escorts. Above all, he never neglected, never failed, in carrying out his mission. "I want you one hundred and fifty-seven thousand five hundred taels of silver. If you are willing to give it to me, of course it is because I deserve it, and of course I deserve it." The executioner said: "Because at that time I always thought that this matter I have to do it!" "That's the way things are." "But the situation is different now, so I can't even take a penny from you." "Why is the situation different now?" Wei Haoke asked again. "You invited me with a high price, just to prevent all accidents in the execution ground, so that Jiang Duanxian can execute smoothly." The supervisor said: "I am willing to come, just because I feel that since you are willing to pay such a high price, you will be punished." Of course, the person who was executed was an extremely important person, and the possibility of accidents is extremely high.” "good." "But now I know that I don't need to do this matter at all." The supervisor said: "Because there is no possibility of any accidents happening on the court." He also explained: "Not only did you make this matter very confidential, but you also arranged every detail so well that even I couldn't find any negligence, not to mention you and Jiang Duanxian were supervising on the scene. Even if there is any accident, the presence of the two of you is enough." The supervisor said: "So it's unnecessary for you to invite me this time, so I have to say goodbye to you." "You still can't go." This time it was the executioner who asked Wei Haoke, "Why?" "Because of two people." Wei Haoke said, "Two women." "Women?" The supervisor frowned: "If a woman is involved in a matter, it will be more troublesome." So he turned back and asked Wei Haoke again: "How could this kind of thing involve a woman?" Wei Haoke smiled, and sent back what the supervisor said to him just now lightly. "You should know this without asking." He said, "Is there anything in this world that doesn't involve women." No one could deny this, so the beheading officer had no choice but to listen to Wei Haoke. "Especially this incident was caused by a woman." Wei Haoke said: "This woman seems to have something to do with you!" "Who are you talking about?" "Ten years ago, didn't you always have a little girl surnamed Jing with you?" Wei Haoke said, "I remember that you also taught her the set of muscles and bones that you uniquely taught." The face of the calm supervisor suddenly changed, and even the muscles on his shoulders tightened. "You mean Xiao Jing?" "That's right, I'm talking about her." Wei Haoke said, "It's just that this girl Xiao Jing has grown up long ago, and has become the most famous famous woman in the world." "I know." Although the supervisor tried his best to control himself, he couldn't help showing pain in his eyes: "I know that the great Mrs. Yinmeng is Jing Yinmeng." "It's not Jing Yinmeng, it's Huajing Yinmeng." Wei Haoke said lightly: "Since you know the glorious deeds after she left you, of course you should also know that she has married the most famous prodigal son Hua in the world." wrong." The supervisor was silent for a long time before shaking his head, "I don't know." He said. He is not lying. There are some things that everyone knows, and you should know, but you just don't know. This is probably one of the greatest tragedies of mankind. "The prisoner who is going to be executed today was sent by Huajing Yinmeng, but she doesn't want him to die too quickly, so she is likely to come here today to create some accidents," Wei Haoke said: "She will make some What will happen, who will be invited, I can't guess at all." This Mrs. Yinmeng was originally a woman that people would never guess. "So I asked myself, if there is one person in this world who can guess what Huajing Yinmeng did, who is this person?" Wei Haoke looked at the execution officer with the same eyes that Murong Qiushui looked at him: "Of course this person is you." The supervisor was silent. He can't speak, and he can't speak even if he has words. A man of value always puts a lot of things that he really wants to say in his heart. A man who can speak casually will inevitably be despised. "There is another woman that you will never recognize." Wei Haoke said: "Ten years ago when you were still walking in the rivers and lakes, she was still a newly weaned child." The supervisor said coldly: "Has this child grown up now?" "Not only has he grown up, but he's also very good-looking." "How pretty?" "I can't tell how good-looking she is, I only know that even Mr. Murong is infatuated with her." "A woman who can fascinate Murong Qiushui always has some reason." The supervisor seems to have completely shaken off his painful memories of the past, and has fully entered into his mission. "A woman like this can be created at any time." Some headaches come." He suddenly asked something that Wei Haoke never thought he would ask.He actually asked Wei Haoke: "Is this woman you are talking about Liu Banban?" Wei Haoke was taken aback, then smiled again. "I really didn't expect that in the past few years, you don't seem to care much about Jianghu." He said, "I didn't expect you to know so much about our affairs." "If you can find me anytime, how can I not know about you..." The supervisor said coldly: "If a person wants to live a good life, he has to know things that he doesn't even want to know. " There was a bit of sadness in his cold voice: "Unfortunately, there are some things that he really wants to know, but he always doesn't know." This is his pain and has nothing to do with Wei Haoke. So Mr. Wei quickly staggered the topic: "Although Liu Banban has grown up, she often acts like a child, so she is not scary." "Who is the scary one?" "The scary ones are the ones she's going to look for, and she's sure to find." "A little girl can find someone who can make you feel terrible." The supervisor showed his professional calm again. "Because she saw the information of the most terrifying killers in Jiang Duanxian's file." Wei Haoke said: "And she also has the ability to take a batch of jewelry from Murong that is enough to impress those killers." The supervisor stared at him coldly for a long time, and suddenly asked something unexpected by Wei Haoke: "Did Murong Qiushui let her take those jewels and documents on purpose?" "Why did Murong do this?" Although Wei Haoke was surprised, he still held his breath. The supervisor's answer made him start to lose his composure. "Because of this matter, there must be a conspiracy, so you must create some confusion, so that others can't figure out what is going on." The supervisor said: "If things are not like this, then a little girl How can you play tricks in front of Murong?" He said calmly, "If Murong hadn't let go on purpose, this Liu Banban girl might not even be able to take one of his socks away." No one can deny this, so Wei Haoke had no choice but to say: "I don't know what happened to this matter." He said: "I only know that this matter is indeed true." "I believe." "So you have to believe that Liu Banban must have used that batch of jewels to invite some of the scariest killers recorded in our files." Wei Haoke said: "And we haven't seen her at all recently." "What kind of people do you think she can find?" "I don't know." Wei Haoke said, "It's because I don't know that I am willing to spend one hundred and seven thousand five hundred taels of silver to invite you here, so you will never say goodbye to me." No one would have thought that Liu Banban had already arrived at the execution ground at this time, and he arrived earlier than anyone else. Before dawn, the shepherd pulled her hair and pulled her up from the straw pile. "If you don't give me food, I'll starve. If you don't give me clothes, I'll be frozen. I can't even compare to a sparrow in food and clothing, so I hold back." Liu Banban stared at this perverted dwarf with tearful eyes full of sadness, hatred and anger. "But I really don't understand, why don't you even let me sleep now?" "Because today is a special day." Shepherd sneered: "Today I will take you to see something special." "See how a man's head leaves his neck." The shepherd giggled, the sound of laughter was much uglier than that of an owl, and he laughed very happily. "This event must be very interesting, and I will not miss every move." He said to his companion: "I believe you will not miss it either." Liu Banban's body has shrunk into a ball, looking like a wild beast that has fallen into a hunter's trap, not only desperate, but also helpless. "The person you're talking about is Ding Ning?" "Probably so." "Today is already March 15th?" "seems like it." "Okay, I'll go with you." Companion gritted her teeth and struggled to get up. "Can you find a complete dress for me to wear?" "cannot." "Please, now that I'm your woman, you can't let me go out naked." Seeing her pleading, shepherd'er of course smiled more happily. "I'm not letting you wear clothes, but you don't have to wear clothes at all." "why?" "Because no one will see you along the way." Shepherd deliberately lowered his voice and made a very mysterious look: "Of course this is a secret, I can only tell you to one person." Companion could only listen to what he said. "Today's practice field is completely different from usual. It is forbidden to watch on the sidelines. Anyone who enters will be shot to death." Shepherd said, "Fortunately, I still have a way to enter. You should know that no matter what happens, I will kill you." There are ways to deal with it.” He smiled wickedly, and his eyes were even more wicked: "I can even deal with a woman like you, what else can I not deal with." His eyes are not only evil, but also terrifying, and it seems that he will do those terrible things at any time. On the contrary, Banban got used to this kind of thing, and only hoped that he could see Ding Ning one last time.No matter what this lunatic will do to her, she doesn't care. The strange thing is that Shepherd didn't do anything this time, because he suddenly heard the sound of wheels and horseshoes and a very ugly whistle in the distance. The crazy evil spirit in his eyes disappeared immediately, and his spirit immediately cheered up a lot. "People are coming." "Who's here?" "Of course the one who leads the way," Shepherd said, "Although this old tortoise is not a person, he is the only one who can lead us into the execution ground." He was obviously in a good mood, so he explained: "This old Badan's surname is Zhan, and he burns coal." "An old man who burns coal can lead us into the execution ground?" The sound of wheels and horseshoes approaching, Shepherd no longer explained, just said: "You will understand soon." An old cart, a scrawny horse, and a black, dry, short, crooked old man were parked at the back door of a sheep pen.He picked up his shriveled mouth again, and blew an ugly whistle. Then he immediately saw a long-legged woman who was almost completely naked flashed out, and quickly got into his dilapidated carriage covered with oilcloth. The dwarf who had been introduced by an old eunuch in Xicheng to discuss "business" with him, and who had already paid him five hundred taels of gold leaf, was actually riding on her shoulders. Lao Zhan spat heavily on the ground. This three-point human-like seven-point ghost-like little bird egg has such a good fortune, having women and golden leaves, but I, Zhan Tianfu, have spent my whole life with coal balls. Although he was cursing in his heart, he still had five hundred taels of gold leaves to hand, so he still had to follow the predetermined plan. The chariots and horses passed through Fengyun alley, walked for half an hour, and actually walked into a mess of graves. Mu Yang'er poked his head out of the carriage and frowned, "Even if Wei Haoke doesn't live up to his expectations, he won't kill people here." "This is not a place to kill people." "Then why did you bring me here?" Lao Zhan smiled with his mouth tilted: "I only said that this is not a place to kill people, but I didn't say that this is not a place to collect money." Shepherd also laughed. He understands these old traitors best, so the golden leaf was quickly delivered to Lao Zhan: "Can you take me there now?" "Not yet." "why?" Lao Zhan narrowed his eyes and lowered his voice: "I'm getting old, and my eyes are failing. I don't know if I saw a ghost just now." Shepherd also deliberately lowered his voice and asked, "What kind of ghost did you see?" "It seems to be a female ghost, with a very long leg, and it seems that she doesn't even wear clothes on her body." "You saw that the female ghost really had a leg?" Old Zhan smiled. "Of course not a leg, but a pair of legs." Shepherd also breathed a sigh of relief: "If you have a pair of legs, then what you see is not a female ghost." "But in such cold weather, she is only wearing some rags, why doesn't she seem to be cold at all?" "Because she is not afraid of the cold." Shepherd said, "She grew up on a high mountain, and she ran around the mountain with her buttocks bare." "So what I saw just now was really a woman? Isn't it a female ghost?" Old Zhan asked. "Don't worry, you can't go wrong." Lao Zhan narrowed his eyes again, narrowing the two old fox-like eyes into a line: "If there is such a woman in our car, you are wrong, and you are wrong very much." "What's wrong with me?" Lao Zhan immediately straightened his face and widened his eyes. "We agreed at the beginning, I will take you into the execution ground, five hundred taels of gold leaf each. Why did you bring a woman?" "Shouldn't I bring a woman here?" Shepherd asked. "Of course not." Lao Zhan was even more angry: "You should know, and it's not like you don't know how big a woman's mouth is. What if my secret is leaked out? Are you going to chop off my head? To feed the dog?" "I never meant that!" "Then you should know that when doing things like ours, women are not considered human at all. If you must take her with you, our deal will be blown this time." Shepherd's eyes immediately turned into lines as well. "Sure enough, Jiang is old and hot, and he is really thoughtful. In fact, my thoughts are the same as your old man. Sometimes women are not human at all." Shepherd: "Actually, I have already planned this matter." "What plan?" "As soon as I get to the secret passage that your old man arranged for me to enter the execution ground, I will hand over this long-legged little bitch to you." Lao Zhan's eyes began to narrow again. A woman protested from inside the tarpaulin hood, and the woman was slapped seven or eight times in succession. After hearing these sounds, Lao Zhan certainly looked happier, but he shook his head desperately. "That won't work." He resolutely refused: "An old man like me, who is almost too old to pee, why are you entrusting this little girl to me?" "Although you can't do anything, there is always something useful." Shepherd said with a smile: "It's the middle of the night, it's freezing cold, and it's not a bad thing to have someone help you to pee." "That's not bad." Old Zhan was already nodding his head: "Although I, Zhan Tianfu, am old and dim-sighted, I still haven't misjudged you." He really thought so in his heart, and he really felt that he was right about Shepherd. ——This little monkey who doesn't look like a man, doesn't look like a ghost, if I don't squeeze him dry, I'll be really sorry for myself. ——When a person is determined to eat a person, he must eat him to death, and he must not be allowed to breathe, let alone turn over. This is how many people behave in the world, and it often works. For example, Mr. Zhan Tianfu, Zhan's chief manager, Mr. Zhan. Now he is holding gold, and the beauty is about to be in his arms, you say he is not happy. So he looked like he was twenty years younger. Shepherd smiled humbly, looking in from the dilapidated oilcloth cart, he could see a pair of very long legs at any time, although he couldn't see clearly, but wouldn't it be better to "see clearly" than to "see clearly"? fun. Old Zhan whipped the horse, as if thinking that the skinny horse pulling his cart was twenty years younger than him. The old horse doesn't like gold or women, but the whip hurts him as before. So he still had no choice but to run forward, and pulled the car to the entrance of the secret passage of the execution ground. Aren't there many people in this world who are like old horses who don't understand the principles of those smart people, who don't know how to eat people but only eat grass. The eye of the wind means the origin of the wind.When the wind blows outward, there is wind everywhere, but there is no wind in the eye of the wind.
