Chapter 149 Ninety-nine Chongyang (Part 2)

A sudden roar on the street below suffocated Wan Lang's words. Then, many drinkers on the floor, including them, looked down. A team of officials with swords and guns in their hands were escorting a prison carriage slowly. In the carriage made of wooden cages, there was a man with haggard and haggard appearance, looking extremely embarrassed.

Such a guy who didn't even have the strength to open his eyes and didn't react at all without any reaction to the people on both sides who kept hitting rotten vegetables, leaves and rotten eggs on his head a few months ago was Zhuang Hong, the old man Zhuang Hong, who was afraid of the people in the city a few months ago! If it weren't for his appearance, he would have questioned whether he had been killed by the substitute.

When Li Ling came to the restaurant in the prison car, he squinted his eyes and stared at the enemy inside. He raised his glass to swallow the feeling in his heart again. To be honest, when he looked at Zhuang Hong again, he felt that his aloofness was so ridiculous, and the relevant people had been severely punished - Zhuang Hong was sentenced to death, and his family and others were all convicted and sent to the remote side. Even Xu Fei and Zhuang Qiang's minions could not escape the law. Zhang Fen was even convicted of being sent to the border to serve as a military officer. Only Zhuang Qiang still fled and disappeared, but he had been painted and photographed, and wanted by the world - he really didn't need to care about the hatred of the past again.

I came here today just to see a result. There was no gloating or pleasure in seeing the enemy being killed. So after this glance, Li Ling quickly retracted his eyes and looked at Wan Lang: "Brother Wan, what do you think? Are you willing to go to Xuzhou to open another Zongheng Bookstore?"

"Go to Xuzhou... the profit will probably be far above the city!" Wan Lang also looked excited, but then frowned, "But there is not our territory after all. My Wan family only drove a carriage and a money shop there. It is probably difficult to open up the situation if it is interfered in the book market like this.

"Also, I'm afraid Lao Gu can't supply the books we need. The city is dozens of miles away, and it's not easy to transport books. When it's time to Xuzhou, the shipping fee will probably increase exponentially, and the demand there will inevitably be more. Can you afford Lao Gu?"

Gu Yuezi immediately smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's not that I'm destroying my own power, but I'm really not capable of it. In fact, let alone Xuzhou, even if I open a semicolon in another county town, my small bookstore will never be able to provide so many books on time and in quantity."

Seeing the two of them looking embarrassed, Li Ling laughed again: "I have also considered the two problems you are concerned about. The first one is easy to deal with. I have already had a friendship with Mr. Zhang Ru when I went to Xuzhou this time. I believe that as long as he takes care of me, our small bookstore will not be disturbed."

"Sir Zhang Ru? Are you talking about Zhang Hefeng and Zhang Daru?" Gu Yuezi might not know the name of this literary master, but Wan Lang had heard of it and was immediately moved.

"It's him!" Li Ling said the whole story about his acquaintance, including the matter of recommending Xu Cang as his disciple. The two of them were stunned for a while. After a while, Wan Lang exclaimed: "Brother Li, what you did really makes me wonder how to evaluate it. It's really a master, and I admire it. Since there is such a big man who is willing to protect us, I'm really not afraid to open a bookstore in Xuzhou again."

Speaking of this, he gave Li Ling a cup: "Can you solve another problem when you look at you?"

"That's right." Li Ling smiled, "I have had some contact with several bookstores in Xuzhou City, and finally chose a Baiyunguan Bookstore outside the city, which is not well-known. I have made a preliminary agreement with them..."

After listening to Li Ling's story, Wan Lang's eyes shone even more: "Brother Li, you are so surprised that you can still make such a business road in Xuzhou. You have done so much, how can I let you down? I will do this. After returning, I will take people to Xuzhou for a little preparation. No matter how we have to open our second Zongheng Bookstore next month, so that people in the provincial capital will know what is the best bookstore and the best books."

"I'll go with you too, I can always help you." Gu Yuezi immediately said, and the one thousand taels of silver he had obtained immediately strengthened his courage.

Li Ling smiled even happier when he saw this: "Then I'll wait for the good news here. According to the truth, I should go with you, but I will take the exam next year. Next, I have to review my books and prepare for the exam at home, so I can only..."

"Hey, nothing is important than the imperial examination. I'm still waiting for you, Mr. Li, to become the biggest backer of our bookstore." Wan Lang smiled immediately, patted his chest and took all the responsibility. The reason he persuaded Li Ling not to take the imperial examination was because it was just a government examination at that time, but now he has even passed the provincial examination, so the importance is naturally incomparable.

While several people were deciding on business, the soldiers below had already half dragged the prisoner to the execution platform that had been drawn. The magistrate Wei, opposite, read a book in his hand, which listed the crimes that Zhuang Hong had committed over the years, and at this time he had read it to the end: "...All of these kinds of crimes have caused thirteen innocent people to be killed by Zhuang Hong, and thirty-two families have destroyed it because of his defeat. The crimes he committed are really too numerous to write, and the crimes he cannot be punished! Today, I will as the magistrate of Jiangcheng County to determine the punishment of his execution!"

Speaking of this, he paused slightly, and the eyes of hundreds or thousands of people around him were all gathered on him. The magistrate of Wei lifted a bamboo stick, gently hooked the dark red word "kill" on it, and then looked down at the criminal in front: "Criminal Zhuang Hong, do you have anything to say?"

Although the sound was not loud, it was full of momentum, and it woke up all the confused Zhuang Hong. He raised his head slightly and looked at Wei Liang with a crying and laughing. He opened his mouth to say something, but he couldn't make any sound. Finally, he seemed to be aware of it and turned his head again, staring at a window in the restaurant behind him.

At this time, Li Ling there was also looking down from the window, and the two of them collided with each other.

Angry, resentment, unwillingness... all kinds of emotions came towards Li Ling, but he was not afraid, and only faced him calmly, and said softly: "All this is something you asked for. Even without me, Li Ling, there will be others who will make you pay the price for everything you do!"

Zhuang Hong, who was several feet away, naturally couldn't hear his words, but somehow, his eyes suddenly shrank after this sentence, as if he was really guilty.

At the same time, a clerk beside Wei Liang bowed his head and looked at the shadow of the wooden stick stuck beside him and shouted: "The third time is here!"

Wei Liang also shouted again: "The time has come, I'll use torture!" At the same time, the bamboo stick in his hand was thrown out with force.

"Bang--" The bamboo stick fell to the ground, everyone took a sudden breath, and thousands of pairs of eyes fell on Zhuang Hong. He saw two big-shoulder soldiers coming forward decisively, pressing him completely to the ground, and pressing his head on the execution stone with a gap.

At this time, another man with a more fierce face, with a fat face, also came behind Zhuang Hong with a sword that was tall and tall. A young man was with him, holding a wine jar and two wine bowls in his hand. After handing it to the man, he delivered another bowl of wine to Zhuang Hong, who had already distorted his face because of fear: "Zhuang Hong, drink the last night's wine, let's go!" As he said that, he used force to pour the wine into the other person's mouth, which made the other person's face flushed and his body began to tremble and twitch.

But because his body was pressed by two other big men, this movement was not very obvious. When the whole bowl of wine fell into his stomach, he completely disappeared as if his bones were removed from his body.

Farewell wine, also known as Luohun Wine, will not struggle any longer as long as you eat the wine before the execution. As for the principle of this, whether it was drugged in the wine, only a few executioners knew it themselves.

There was a clamor, and the executioner behind him had finished drinking, threw the bowl, and then came to Zhuang Hong in two steps, with his eyes wide open, and he exhaled: "I'll give you a ride if you offend Zhuang Hong!"

Words come out, sword falls!

Suddenly, the sharp and heavy ghost-headed sword had slashed into Zhuang Hong's neck. Blood light flashed because of it, and a palpitation screamed in pain finally gushed out of Zhuang Hong's mouth. Then his body and head separated. His whole head rolled forward, leaving shocking blood marks along the way!

The crowd suddenly became quiet, and then another cheer sounded. The soldiers who were blocking the people from both sides of the army were relaxed, and dozens of people rushed to the headless corpse, and they directly tore up Zhuang Hong's body.

"Zhuang Hong, you have today too!"

"Zhuang Hong, I said you must not die well, hahahaha..."

"Dad, my son has finally waited for this moment..."

...

With the screams full of hatred and hatred, Zhuang Hong's headless body was split into pieces, shocking Wei Liang, Li Ling and others on the upper floor. What a great hatred this is to make the people so cruel that even if the other party dies, they will have to disperse their corpses to vent their hatred in their hearts.

After a moment of stunned , Li Ling sighed : "If I had known this day, why would I have to... I really hope that those guys who harmed the people would come to see what Zhuang Hong happened. Maybe the evil people in the world would have more worries and less innocent people."

Double Ninth Festival is the extreme of the yang in the year; at noon, the yang energy is strong in one day, so killing people at this time in autumn can cause the offender to destroy both the body and spirit, and it is difficult to rebirth.

But in Li Ling's opinion, there is actually no need to pay so much attention to it. With such a bleak ending in Zhuang Hong, even if he really has a ghost coming back, he will be torn and smashed by the angry people again!
Chapter completed!
