Chapter 124.4: 行刑
[Execution]
Chen Xing was pulled back from a long time ago memories, looked up and met Gu Lang’s deeply concerned gaze, combined with the words he just said, he instantly guessed what he was thinking, Gu Lang must have thought that he was afraid of seeing such a bloody scene, so he tactfully reminded him like this.
Chen Xing felt warm for Gu Lang’s thoughtfulness, then shook his head and said towards him: “It’s okay, I was just lost in thought. Let’s go, it’s almost time, let’s go over there!”
After Chen Xing said that Gu Lang carefully looked at him, to make sure that there was no trace of fear on his face. He then nodded, held his hand, and followed the crowd towards the place where the beheading was to be carried out.
Waiting there, Chen Xing was startled by the people here. If the last time there were only a few hundred people, then this time almost came thousands of people, densely packed. He simply could not see what was in front of them.
Originally Chen Xing who was still a little worried, this time his mood all of a sudden turned into a shock. He thought that this time is not going to the market, but beheading, so how come there are so many people who come?
The moment Chen Xing thought they could not go in smoothly or find another high ground to look at it. Behind the sudden commotion, followed by the surrounding noisy voice also became smaller and smaller. He felt a little strange, turned his head towards the place where the unusual thing happened, then all of a sudden he was stunned.
Only to see a pair of people wearing mourning garments, this time slowly walking towards the execution ground. The leader is the gray-haired one, full of white headdress flowers, followed by a variety of different ages, but obviously still the relatives.
Chen Xing for the first time to see this kind of scene, for a moment he actually did not know how to react, until Gu Lang beside him pulled his hand up and brought him to the side, he only in a trance did he realize his own misbehavior.
Chen Xing’s eyes widened as he watched that group of people becoming closer and closer to them, they then passed them towards the execution ground. He did not know whether it was his illusion, however he always felt that the old lady who took the lead when passing by them, inadvertently looked at them here several times, only then she left without slowing down.
The arrival of this group of people has made the original lively scene become quiet, but also made the middle separated by a road.
Chen Xing looked at the sea of people because too many people, the officials did not close the military demarcation line in time. He hesitated for a moment as he pulled Gu Lang to walk over. He felt that since Gu Lang’s enemy was Zhao Lao Ye, he would definitely want to see the final outcome of the person who caused his family to be destroyed.
While Chen Xing was pulling Gu Lang forward, Gu Lang let him pull him along, and he was very obedient in his actions. But his eyes bypassed the people in front of him and landed on the old woman leading the way. If there is anyone in this family who still has a shred of conscience, probably it’s this old lady.
When Gu Lang was thinking like this, Chen Xing had already dragged him to the front. The two of them were lucky enough to occupy an exceptionally good position, not far from the judgment platform, also not far from the beheading place.
Chen Xing felt that this seat of viewing experience must be very good, so he turned his head to glance at Gu Lang beside him, only to see his expressionless face looking away, eyes not knowing where to look.
Chen Xing had the intention to comfort him a few words, thought about it yet he still hesitated for a while and did not open his mouth, but only leaned his body towards Gu Lang’s side and their distance became closer.
Gu Lang noticed Chen Xing’s movement, lowered his head as he looked at him, and then put one of his hands on his shoulder and held him in one’s arm.
Feeling the warmth of Gu Lang’s center of palm, as well as the hidden gazes thrown towards him from the surroundings, Chen Xing’s face gradually heated up. However, he didn’t want Gu Lang to take his hand off from his shoulder, so he looked ahead, trying his best to ignore the touching sensation caused by Gu Lang on his body.
The group of people in mourning clothes who came over just now also attracted the attention of the county magistrate sitting above. The officials even drew their swords and pointed it in their direction, as if the moment they made a slight movement, the officials would come forward to deal with them.
Seeing this, the old lady who take the lead raised her head unhurriedly and said to the person staring at them: “Sir, we are from the Zhao family, we have no other intention to come here today, we just want to bury the body of my unfilial son and see him off for the last time. I still hope that Your Honour can be accommodating, so that we can give him his last bite of rice and send him off in a dignified manner.”
Those officials glanced at the old lady, then looked at the several people following behind her, and turned their heads to look at the County Magistrate and Private Adviser sitting behind them, waiting for their orders.
