Chapter 602: Identification and dragging to the execution platform
Zheng Tong, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, had also arrived outside the execution ground, but had not yet gotten off the carriage.
In the distance, several more carriages drove over...
One of the cars was the one that was ridden by Jiao Yue, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice.
Jiao Yue's carriage, guarded by eight sword-wielding attendants, also arrived here.
Several carriages from the Anguo Mansion turned to the other side of the execution ground and stopped outside a pine forest in the upwind direction.
Everyone in the Anguo Mansion sat in the carriage and did not get off.
The servants who had followed them all dismounted, held the horses' reins, and stood guard around the carriages.
On the way here, Luo Yun had already told his little granddaughter Luo Hongtao -
When we get here, let her follow Qingyi and Lanyi and wait for him in the carriage.
And I... I will go to the execution ground and watch my enemy being cut in half with my own eyes.
The carriage stopped and Luo Yun got off.
"grandfather……"
Luo Hongtao called out "Grandpa" from behind, her voice choked with sobs.
Luo Yun turned around, looked at his little granddaughter with a white cloth wrapped around her head, and said softly, "Be good, Taobaoer, follow your two sisters and wait for Grandpa here. Grandpa wants to go and see for your parents...see the fate of your enemies with your own eyes!"
Luo Hongtao bit her lower lip and nodded with tears in her eyes.
Luo Yun bowed to the men in green and blue, then walked towards the carriage in which Leng Rongyue was riding.
Arriving beside Leng Rongyue's carriage, Luo Yun said to the carriage: "Miss, I will go to the execution ground now."
Leng Rongyue heard Luo Yun talking, lifted the curtain and got off the carriage.
"Uncle Luo, are you sure...you want to go and watch the execution with your own eyes?"
Leng Rongyue tried to stop it.
After all, the bloody scene that will appear in a moment is probably not something that most people dare to watch;
It is not something that ordinary people can bear.
Luo Yun is just an ordinary old man and a doctor...
Leng Rongyue was really worried that Luo Yun would not be able to withstand such a bloody scene.
However, Luo Yun was unusually persistent.
He is going.
Even thinking about the scene I was about to see, I felt extremely scared.
But, he also wants to go...
He has been waiting for this day for almost ten years!
Hatred has long since overwhelmed fear.
He must go!
Xiao Jingyu, who was sitting in a carriage at the back, heard the conversation between Luo Yun and Leng Rongyue, and also got off the carriage.
He motioned Suifeng and Tinglei to come over and whispered a few instructions to them.
Suifeng and Tinglei bowed and accepted the order, then turned and walked towards Luo Yun and Leng Rongyue.
When they came closer, they bowed to Leng Rongyue first, and Suifeng said, "Little... uh... Miss, His Royal Highness Prince Yu ordered the two of us to accompany Uncle Luo."
Suifeng wanted to slap himself in the face...
He almost blurted out the words "little princess".
When you are used to talking behind people's backs, it's easy for them to leak the truth to their faces.
Leng Rongyue didn't care about this, and just nodded slightly at the two of them, "Then I'll have to trouble you two!"
“I dare not!
Miss, you are too kind! "
The two men bowed and accompanied Luo Yun towards the crowd at the execution ground.
Xiao Jingyu stood beside Leng Rongyue.
The two of them kept watching the backs of Luo Yun and the other two as they walked away...
Watching Suifeng and Tinglei leading Luo Yun through the crowd and walking to the front...
Watching the figures of the three people being blocked by the gathering crowd.
The execution ground was silent at this moment.
Shuntian Prefecture Governor Zheng Tong and Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice Jiao Yue had already walked up to the execution platform side by side and sat down.
Four attendants stood behind the two men.
The rest of the attendants stood under the platform to provide guard.
Master Xue walked up to the execution platform holding the execution board in his hand and came before Zheng Tong, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, and Jiao Yue, the right vice minister of the Ministry of Justice.
Xue Zhubu presented the execution board to the two supervising officials.
Zheng Tong, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, and Jiao Yue, the right vice minister of the Ministry of Justice, looked at the execution board and ordered that the death row prisoner be identified immediately and taken to the execution platform.
Then, Zheng Tong, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, picked up the red pen and circled the names of a number of death row prisoners in red.
The people standing outside the execution ground watched the prefect put down the red pen with their own eyes, and no one in the crowd made a sound.
There is only one word above the execution ground - quiet.
It's already noon.
The sky was still gray and the air seemed stagnant, just like before a storm... dark and dull.
Coupled with the silence on the execution ground, people feel particularly depressed and heavy.
The silence was so frightening that even the death row prisoners in the prison van didn't even dare to cry.
Xue Zhubu took the sentence and led people to the prison van to verify the identity of the prisoner.
In order to identify them, these death row prisoners had to be dragged out of the wooden cage prison carts and taken to the execution platform.
But...but at this time the bodies of the death row prisoners were so dirty that it was hard to know where to start!
The bailiffs are in a difficult situation!
However, this is their job and they cannot avoid it.
The yamen runners could only endure the nausea and bite the bullet, stretching out their hands and dragging the death row prisoners out of the wooden cage prison carts one by one;
Then, they were dragged to the execution platform one by one.
They said they dragged it up... and they really did drag it up!
Because many of these death row prisoners are injured, and they are also afraid...
None of them could walk up on their own.
The yamen runners had no choice but to get their hands dirty and exhausted before finally bringing Leng Xian, Yin, Old Yin, Old Lady Yin, Yu, Yin Baoye, Gao Cheng, Wei Feng, Zhao Gan, and Deng Gui to the front.
Together with Nanny Lu and Nanny Ye who were sentenced to immediate execution, and several guards from the Marquis Qinxing's mansion who were accomplices in the murder, a total of seventeen people were dragged to the execution platform without exception.
