Chapter 12 What I don’t lack most is time
The execution ground at noon was crowded with people.
Hearing that the Liang family was about to be beheaded, the people hurried to the execution ground without even bothering to eat.
At this time, on the huge execution platform, dozens of Liang family members were kneeling on the ground side by side, and the one kneeling in the middle was Liang Xiaozhong.
Compared with the majesty and majesty when he was an official, Liang Xiaozhong at this time had gray hair and looked decadent and lonely, even worse than a beggar on the street.
Not only that, careful people can also find that the fingers of Liang Xiaozhong's hands have been cut off at the root, and there is no tongue in the mouth that occasionally opens.
It seems that someone doesn't want him to speak or write randomly.
The method is cruel enough, but I don't know who did it?
Wang Daoquan?
Or Grandmaster Zuoxiang Wang?
At this time, it is estimated that only the Wang family will be afraid of Liang Xiaozhong's random bites, right?
"Kill him! Kill him!"
Angry shouts and curses came from under the execution platform.
The people's hatred for corrupt officials was all vented on Liang Xiaozhong at this moment.
Liang Xiaozhong looked numb, seeming to have accepted his fate.
Suddenly, a voice came to his ear: "Master Liang, long time no see."
who is it?
Liang Xiaozhong raised his head in confusion, but found that no one was talking around him.
"Looking for me?"
The voice came again: "I'm right in front of you, look, do you still recognize me?"
Liang Xiaozhong looked at the people under the execution platform, his eyes widening in disbelief.
Because in the crowd, he saw an old friend he hadn't seen for many years.
A... junior who had his future ruined by him.
"Haha, it seems that Mr. Liang hasn't forgotten me yet."
Zhao Mu stood in the crowd and controlled his sravaka Gu to transmit his voice to Liang Xiaozhong's ears.
Liang Xiaozhong suddenly became excited and struggled to rush off the execution platform.
"be honest!"
Behind him, the executioner cursed angrily, bent his leg and kicked Liang Xiaozhong to the ground.
Liang Xiaozhong's eyes were red and he lay on the ground staring at the crowd.
"Why are you so excited? Don't worry, I'm just looking out for someone's enemy. I won't do anything to you. After all... you are going to die!"
Zhao Mu smiled and said lightly: "By the way, I have met your wife and daughter before coming here. I heard that many of your disciples are very interested in them. Haha, it seems that they will work in the Jiaofang Department in the future. The days will be very fulfilling."
"Woooo..."
Liang Xiaozhong's eyes were about to burst, and he opened his mouth wide to roar.
But unfortunately, in the end he could only make some meaningless neighing, like a hyena that had been beaten to half death.
Why is this guy so excited all of a sudden?
The executioner's face was full of confusion. He didn't understand what happened to Liang Xiaozhong?
He raised his foot and stepped on Liang Xiaozhong's back: "Hey, be patient, I'm here to chop off your head today, don't look for trouble, or I will have to shave your skin before I die."
Liang Xiaozhong was completely desperate.
He is Zhongshu Ling, a dignified and important official of the third rank of the imperial court.
He once held power and controlled the lives and deaths of countless people.
In his eyes, all living beings in the world are as worthless as ants.
What a hero!
What a feudal official!
All must bow before him.
He never thought that one day he would end up like this?
A lowly executioner could actually step on him and show off his power.
During this period of time in the prison, he was tortured repeatedly by the Xuanjing Division, and Wang Daoquan secretly sent someone to cut off his fingers and tongue.
Originally, he was completely disheartened and just looked forward to dying as soon as possible.
But what Zhao Mu said just now made his despairing heart burst out with intense humiliation again.
When he thought of his wife being humiliated again and again by those who had knelt down to him in the Jiaofang Division.
He felt angrier than ever before when he thought about his daughter having to express her joy in front of those people, making excuses and drinking wine.
But unfortunately, now he is unable to resist and can only struggle desperately at the executioner's feet.
"Prepare for execution!"
Suddenly the supervisor's voice came.
The executioner picked up Liang Xiaozhong and pressed his head on the guillotine.
A mouthful of wine was sprayed on the decapitation knife, and the sharp blade shone with a cold light, making people's hearts tremble.
"kill him!"
"Kill these corrupt officials!"
"Liang Xiaozhong, I curse you to never be reincarnated!"
The people roared one after another, and the wave of anger made the supervisors break into cold sweats.
He did not dare to delay any longer and directly threw out the token: "Execution!"
Phew!
Heads were chopped off neatly, blood sprayed, and the people's anger was vented.
Before dying, Liang Xiaozhong glanced at Zhao Mu again.
Among the crowd, Zhao Mu held a pot of wine in his hand and poured it directly on the ground.
"This is the two taels of wine I gave you on behalf of someone. Enjoy it on your way to Huangquan."
Who is someone?
Liang Xiaozhong died with his eyes closed.
He would never know the answer to this question.
…
Everyone knows that gods are good, but they can never forget their fame!
Where are the generals from ancient to modern times? A pile of grass disappeared in the barren grave.
Everyone knows that gods are good, but gold and silver cannot be forgotten!
In the end, I only regret that there is not much to gather, and when the time comes, my eyes will close!
Zhao Mu carried half a bottle of wine and chanted "Good Song" in his mouth. He lazily walked out of the crowd and walked all the way to Jiaofangsi.
Things change and time passes!
My choice was absolutely right.
What fame, wealth, royal power, wealth, etc., all end up on the guillotine?
Today is Liang Xiaozhong!
Tomorrow will be king!
And Grandmaster Wang, the left prime minister who has power over the entire government!
And the emperor who lives in seclusion in the palace and pursues immortality!
After fighting over and over again, in the end it is just a piece of loess.
Only you have an infinite lifespan and can keep watching the changes in the world until the end of time.
"Not only the world of mortals, but also the legendary scenery of the immortal road. I also want to see it, but I don't know when I can set foot on that road?"
"No rush, no rush, the thing I lack most...is time!"
Zhao Mu drank strong liquor into his throat, and left laughing amid the puzzled looks of the people around him.
This year, he is thirty years old.
It is also the eighth year since I traveled to this world.
…
Jiaofang Division.
As soon as Zhao Mu returned to the warehouse, he saw two women sitting in his room, Hua Xinzi and Jiang Hongyun.
There were wine and food on the table, and the two women were enjoying each other's drinks. Their pretty tipsy faces were rosy and attractive, making people want to take a bite.
"You two just drink. Why do you always come to my house? Can't you go somewhere else?"
Zhao Mu curled his lips and moved a chair to sit down.
Today, Hua Xinzi and Jiang Hongyun are both in their twenties, which is when they are most sultry.
The greenness has not completely faded away, but it has added a bit of maturity and tenderness, making it irresistible.
In the Jiaofang Department, there were countless customers who wanted to redeem their lives, which made the two women extremely annoyed.
So in the past two years, when they had nothing to do, they always liked to stay in Zhao Mu's house, drinking and chatting happily.
Only here can they enjoy rare peace.
It's just that Zhao Mu was made a little helpless, feeling as if the two of them were the owners of this room.
And every time I drink, I have to get drunk until I wake up.
Could it be that... aren't they afraid that my bestiality will show up?
