Chapter 390 Conviction
390
The thin-faced man between the three was stunned when he heard the words. He didn't expect that the round-faced sister would cut off people's heads as soon as she made a sound, as if the unlucky Zhao Laosan had not yet committed the crime of killing his head. He shook his head with a bitter smile, and the thin-faced man advised in a dull tone: "Well, sister, although this man has made a mistake and offended his sister, he is still guilty to death. Please forgive him and punish him slightly to set an example."
Then, the man whispered a few words.
I didn't expect that it was not the kind of thick bodyguard in front of him to persuade him, but that the prince might come forward behind him. Zhao Laosan's kowtowed his head was slightly stunned, and his head fell in mid-air, and he did not withdraw. He stopped the action in front of him like a wooden carving.
The round-faced woman's angry face slightly reduced her anger, and she muttered helplessly, "Okay, listen to my brother, then don't behead!"
Suddenly, she straightened herself on horseback and raised her voice, "But death is inevitable, and life is inevitable, so let's hit 200 boards!"
"Thank you... the unkilling kindness of the prince and the young lady!"
Zhao Laosan trembled all over and reacted. He put his hands on the ground and turned around on the cold stone board like a black turtle. At this time, he kowtowed to the three people he had previously regarded as strong thieves, sighing in his heart that his life was saved.
"Ah!"
The other guards wore iron helmets and didn't feel good. Zhao Laosan turned around, his forehead had become bloody and bloody, and it was indescribable to be miserable and ugly. The round-faced woman was shocked, unconsciously tightened her reins, and pulled her horse back a few steps.
"Haha..."
"Puff!"
The thin-faced man and woman behind him were not scared at all and couldn't help laughing. This series of farce makes the thin-faced man laugh, and there are not many times when he feels happier than today. The slightly ugly senior sister beside him couldn't help covering her mouth and smiling. Anyway, she seemed to be a little incongruous with her ugly face.
And the thick-faced three-grade bodyguard followed with a thick lips. At this time, he looked like a very kind elder, looking at his beloved junior and showing a heartfelt smile.
"Damn! Don't laugh at me!"
After being surprised, the round-faced woman was stunned when she heard the laughter of her brother and sister. She couldn't help pouted, pretending to be angry and strange, with a cheerful smile on her face. In the end, I couldn't help but smile.
Hearing their loud laughter, although Zhao Laosan and other guards had bitterness in their mouths, they put down a lot of stones in their hearts. Although he and others made them angry, for the sake of making them laugh, they gritted their teeth and survived hundreds of boards. Don't mention any more dismissal.
Zhao Laosan and other guards were sterling for a moment, then kowtowed, and their movements became a little light. But the action became lighter, the feeling of tension relaxed, and the pain on the forehead came. Whether you wear a helmet or not, you can't help grinning and inhaling.
The thin-faced man smiled for a moment, and suddenly found that some escaped city residents in front of him gathered around again. He quickly put away his smile and persuaded him, "Sister, these two hundred boards may kill people, and the 100 boards are also heavier. How about Zhao Laosan to 100 boards, and the rest fifty?"
At this time, the round-faced woman vented a lot of anger. She was lazy and comfortable. She gently followed the thin-faced man and said, "They can make the younger brother happy. They are also wrong, so it's up to the younger brother's, reducing their punishment."
The guards who escaped from death kowtowed even more when they heard this beautiful voice like a fairy. They were more grateful to the thin-faced man who controlled their power of life and death, and suddenly felt that he was more kind than the great good man in the city. Although he did not relieve all their sins, they felt that the thin-faced man was still no worse than the bodhisattvas in the temple.
The round-faced woman stared at Zhao Laosan, put away her smile, and suddenly looked cold and said, "But everyone else can reduce it, but Zhao Laosan still has to hit 200 boards, otherwise it will be difficult to dispel my hatred!"
The thin-faced man shrugged his shoulders, smiled bitterly with the long-faced senior sister and the arrived bodyguard officer, and shook his head.
Zhao Laosan's heart thumped like a drum. For a moment, he still kowtowed and thanked him. He also knew that it might be the princess's round-faced woman who hated herself for laughing at her before. It was impossible to avoid these two hundred boards, and only asked for no other old crimes.
The round-faced woman patted her forehead, remembered the young guards who fled from the battle, and said to the bodyguard, " By the way, don't let go of those escaped guards. They also have to hit a hundred boards!"
This time, not only those guards were surprised, but also suffered by two hundred boards of Zhao Laosan, and then they couldn't laugh or cry. The corners of his mouth also had a wry smile, against the blood stains on his forehead, which looked so strange.
And those bold city residents showed a happy smile. Although he was shocked by Zhao Laosan before, he was definitely happier than picking up a few penny copper coins on the road than watching these usually fierce guards stinged up the board.
The three riders in front of him remained motionless in front of the city gate. Previously, they felt that they were like fierce and violent robbers, but now they became so kind and simple. He didn't feel at all that Zhao Laosan just molested a people's daughter. Originally, it was only a minor crime of beating 30 boards, and it was a felony to be sentenced to 200 boards, but it should have been so. The legal order issued by the county magistrate in the lobby of the big county government, and even the imperial edict was unquestionable.
"Let's go!"
Looking at the increasing number of onlookers in front of him, the thin-faced man restrained his smile and said to the coming bodyguard, "Brother, this punishment bothers you to supervise. Let's go to the restaurant and wait for you."
"Don't worry, you must strictly follow the rules of your sister, and you won't let your sister down!"
The bodyguard who came grinned and nodded, adding, "Guo Liang's wine shop, the table by the window, must have been served."
The round-faced woman nodded imperceptiblely and said nothing. She stopped looking at the guards kneeling on the bluestone in front of her, and the cold-faced thin men and others slowly rode into the city.
The onlookers in front of them were like running water and made way of the middle road in an instant, as if they had come to welcome the triumphant warriors and eliminate harm for the people.
"Is there anyone else going out of town?"
The bodyguard looked at the onlookers and suddenly made a sound. In an instant, many people in shabby clothes rushed out of the gate with their own things. The vast majority of the rest still stay to watch the play, because they don't think it's wrong to spend more money to stay in the hotel to watch such a scene.
As no one left the city, the bodyguard shouted an order to close the city gate, and then shouted the order. He walked forward first and took these headless guards to the county government office. There was no one behind him guarding the city gate, nor did he look at the guards behind him. It seemed that they did not believe that they dared to take the opportunity to escape, nor did they believe that there was anyone at this time. Dare to open the gate and go out.
Behind the bodyguards is a group of guards. Behind the guards are a group of onlookers, and more and more they gather, the group of people are chirping and going to the county government. It is no different from the usual trial of Jiangyang robbers. It is absolutely depends on the posture of the trial of murder, although their team of guards will not be sentenced at this time. The death penalty for killing the head.
Until this time, the young guards who rushed back to report the news had not brought anyone over, as if they had not reported the news at all.
