Chapter 688 Watching the Beheading

Hundreds of prisoners were still very spectacular.

There were men, women, old and young.

Some prisoners had shackles on their hands and feet, while some had nothing on them.

Gu Fei suspected that the Ministry of Justice did not have enough shackles. There were more than 400 prisoners at once, and these things were definitely not enough.

These prisoners had numb faces, and gradually walked to an open space in the middle under the shouting and driving of the officers and soldiers.

They knelt on the ground in a black mass.

The executioner took out the imperial edict and read it, then threw down a warrant and shouted, "Begin the execution!"

Then the officers and soldiers pushed some people in front out.

There were too many people, so they could only be chopped in batches.

The first batch of ten was pushed to the front and knelt down.

The executioners were in groups of three.

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

This should be to prevent the prisoner from shrinking his head or dodging, and dodging is human instinct.

Gu Fei's eyes fell on a bearded executioner, and he saw the man picked up a wine gourd and took a swig.

Then he heard the executioner shout: "Begin beheading!"

A bright knife flashed, and ten heads fell to the ground.

Some of the people on the ground were still kneeling, and blood rushed up from the necks of the headless people like a high-pressure fountain.

Xiao Yu looked at Gu Fei carefully at this time, he was afraid that she was uncomfortable.

Gu Fei was fine, it's not that she had never killed people, but this scene, watching ten heads fall to the ground together, was still a little shocking.

Soon, the next batch 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 too many heads, and the blade was curled. He didn't cut it off with one knife, and the head was still half attached to it.

Gu Fei couldn't stand it anymore, so she 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, "Why don't we have lunch in the restaurant at noon today."

Gu Fei had no objection, and the two of them went in and asked for a private room, and had their meal slowly before going back.

They went back through the back corner door again.

When they reached the door, they saw that the back corner door was open, and the two looked at each other and walked in quickly.

Not far away, several soldiers came out of a room. Xiao Yu shouted, "Who are you? What are you doing?"

Several soldiers were stunned, "Who are you?"

Xiao Yu shouted, his eyes fell on the jade carving in the hands of a soldier, "I am the prince of Qi, what are you doing? Robbery?"

Several soldiers looked at each other, one said, "This is all misunderstanding. The capital is in chaos now. The emperor is worried about the safety of the prince, so let us ask the prince and the princess to move to another place."

Xiao Yu sneered and looked at the jade carving in the soldier's hand, "Put it down first, let your superior come to see me!"

The soldier twitched his mouth, put down the jade carving, and ran quickly to the front yard.

After a while, a man in the official uniform of the Zhuyiwei came with a team of soldiers.

Gu Fei looked at his clothes and recognized that it was a fourth-rank official robe. This man should be the Zhuyiwei Zhenfushi.

The pacification envoy smiled at the two of them in an ambiguous way and bowed, "Misunderstanding, all misunderstanding."

"I received the emperor's oral order to ask the prince and the princess to move to another place. I didn't expect that no one would open the door after I called for a long time, so I had to break in."
