Chapter 176: Caishikou, Execution Ground, Dagan Dynasty
At midsummer noon, the sun burns the earth.
The entire Qingyun City has long been turned into a big steamer, and even wild cats and dogs hide under the shade of the shade of the trees to enjoy the coolness and feel unwilling to come out.
But today, although the sun is scorching, countless people are still gathering at the southern end of the vegetable market in Qingyun City.
A street in Qingyun City Vegetable Market is located east-west, one mile and fifteen zhang long, only less than three or four yards away from the main road of Qingyun City. It is extremely convenient to get from the east-west city gates. Over time, this place has become the most crowded vegetable market in Qingyun City.
But today the purpose of countless people gather here is not to buy and sell vegetables, nor to go to the temple fair. Instead, to watch the government kill people!
The Great Kill Empire has strict national laws.
The law specifically states that those who kill officials, rebel, deceive the emperor, or violate the saint's code shall be punished. All people in the city who are over 7 years old and under 70 years old must be present to watch the punishment.
This measure is also a way for the court to kill the people in order to deter the people and eliminate such behaviors.
"Tak the prisoner to the punishment platform!" The prison officer sitting in the built awning saw that it was almost done, so he ordered.
After being on the side for a long time, the soldiers who were in anger suddenly opened the door of the cage like a wolf and dragged the prisoners who had been tied inside out savagely.
There are more than twenty prisoners in total, almost all of whom have accumulated from late last summer to this year.
Because the Dagan State has a practice of killing in midsummer and noon, those prisoners who are not in a hurry to execute them will be kept together for execution.
More than 20 people were pressed on a punishment platform in the middle of the execution ground.
The punishment platform is made of bluestone and is more than one meter above the ground, so that more people who are observing the punishment can see clearly the tragic situation of the prisoner's death.
Seeing that all the prisoners were taken into custody, the deceased officer looked through the files on the table and threw them to a middle-aged master next to him: "Remember! State their crimes!"
The master next to him was also a veteran. He skillfully opened the file and sang loudly, "The criminal Huang Qi, a native of Nangang Township, Qingyun City. He was twenty-four years old. In the third year of Tongguang, he had a conflict with Zhang Fu, a rich family member of the same hometown. Then he committed a crime with a knife and tried to kill a good citizen. Zhang Fu's servant tried hard to stop him. After being seriously injured, he subdued the criminal Huang Qi. Although Huang Qi did not kill anyone, he had committed a crime. Not severely punishing it is not enough to calm the anger of the people. He was sentenced to the punishment of beheading!"
After finishing reading, the teacher did not pause at all and continued to recite the next prisoner: "The criminal offender Dong Jianren, a native of Bashan Township, Qingyun City. On the 35th day of the New Year, he forced his way into the house of his neighbor Liu Danian after drinking in the third year of Tongguang. He raped Liu Danian's wife Liu Chen. After Liu Danian returned home, he killed him. He was extremely guilty and sentenced to beheading!"
"People who offended Zhang Xing... Tong Guangnian... were offended to steal the treasury..."
"People offended Liu... committed robbery..."
The teacher suddenly paused when he kept reciting calmly. After looking up at the prisoners pressed on the execution ground, he continued to recite: "The criminal was Su Yang, a native of Linshui County, Jiangzhou. He was 23 years old. In August of the year of Yaowu, he killed the magistrate of Linshui County in Jiangzhou and fled. In the second year of Yaowu, he killed the family of Wang Yuanwai, a wealthy family in Huping County, and then fled. Two months later, he fought with the officers who were hunting him in Yedian, Liangzhou, and killed twenty-four officers. After fleeing. In the same year, Yu Jian robbed and killed the third-rank senior official of the Ministry of Justice on the streets of Yu Jian, and was injured and fled... He committed numerous crimes over the years. In the third year of Tongguang, he was discovered by the yamen runners in Qingyun City. He was arrested with the military officers in Qingyun City and the masters of Qishi Mansion to arrest him!"
After reciting Su Yang's crime for a long time, he finished reciting Su Yang's crime. This was in sharp contrast to the previous few people. Zhang Wang, who was standing among the crowd, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and realized in his heart - it seemed that this was his chance to receive the task!
This is Zhang Wang's first mission after he advanced to level 2 space.
As soon as you enter the task, the general rules of level 2 space are withdrawn clearly in this prompt.
First of all, only veterans who have passed the newcomer trial participated in the level 2 space.
In other words, the enemies you face are at least somewhat powerful. Correspondingly, the difficulty of the tasks experienced in level 2 space will also be greatly improved.
Some simple task worlds will not appear easily. Even if there are some plot worlds such as ordinary zombie films or war films, the Gods Space will adjust the difficulty of this world in advance. For example, zombies are walking as fast as they fly, and one punch can penetrate the door panel. Or the ordinary humans in the task world have several times their physical strength.
In addition to the absence of new players and increased difficulty in tasks, the tasks in level 2 space will also be blurred. Most of the time, the Gods Space will no longer directly publish simple mission goals.
Instead, we use the mouth of "npc" to publish tasks.
That is to say, the entire mode has changed from a tracking-style release main tasks and trigger side tasks to a random trigger mode for participants to explore themselves in the plot world!
Finally, the degree of freedom of level 2 space has been greatly improved.
Not only has the time to stay in the mission world been much relaxed - as long as there are still tasks that have not been completed, the God-Selected can stay in the plot world without time limits.
To leave, you can choose to leave after completing or giving up all tasks. After maintaining a non-combat state for 24 hours, you can choose to leave.
God chose to act in the plot world almost completely free.
With such freedom, except for some particularly high-risk worlds, almost most of the worlds can breathe a sigh of relief. As long as you don’t intervene in too many tasks, almost this world is the vacation trip of the chosen ones!
...
Zhang Wang didn't know what the other nine god-selected people who entered the "Dark Martial Arts" world together were doing now. Have they found a place to relax...
But for him, he knows the importance of strength.
He also has enough perseverance to continue to pursue the increase in strength. What's more, there is a man in black robe who secretly increases his strength at any time and then comes to fight.
Therefore, after entering the task, Zhang Wang was looking for the task carefully.
Since this world is called "Dark Martial Arts", it must be a world dominated by martial arts. If you want to receive a mission, you must contact those martial arts people.
Unfortunately, this Qingyun City may be a small place.
After Zhang Wang came in, he didn't see a martial arts person for two days. He asked about it among the people and there were not even many people who could do martial arts!
However, staying for two days has given Zhang Wang a little understanding of the world.
First of all, he is now in a country called Daqian.
This is a vast dynasty with a vast territory, both climate and culture, which are very similar to ancient China. However, unlike the earth, there is a "martial" culture in this world.
Even ordinary people know that there are many martial arts people flying around in the world.
However, this Daqian Kingdom prohibits martial arts practice!
More than a hundred years since its founding, the imperial courts have severely banned the spread of martial arts. For this reason, not only has a large number of books that practice martial arts been burned, but they have also established severe punishments to prohibit the spread of martial arts.
