female catcher

At noon, when the yang energy is strong, it is appropriate to behead.

The execution ground at Caishikou was full of people, and there was a lot of noise. Nangong Biluo didn't know how exciting it was to see someone beheaded. He glanced casually, some people pointed, some people talked a lot, and more importantly, who was Wu Yan? Strangers who don't know.

She squatted in front of Wu Yan, arranged the food and wine bought from Shiweixuan, and saw him off.The executioner tactfully went to the side, and the execution supervisor pretended not to see it, and looked up at the sun to check the time.Since Wu Yan was captured, he has provided the Metropolitan Procuratorate with a lot of evidence of officials forming cliques for private purposes. Wang Rui also submitted an application for commutation of his sentence, but in the end he was sentenced to death. 'Four words.

Wu Yan looked at the female arrester who was fiddling with the food in front of him without saying a word, and asked, "Aren't you afraid that others will say you're hypocritical?"

"Just treat me as a hypocrite, come on, drink more and avoid suffering." Nangong Biluo filled the bowl with wine, and raised his hands to offer it.

Wu Yan sneered, and still drank the wine in Nangong Biluo's hand, and also ate the food that Nangong Biluo sent. "Is it an honor to be seen off by the number one female arrester in the world, or is it bad luck?"

Nangong Biluo did not answer, but only asked: "Will you be cremated or buried after your death?"

Wu Yan paused for a moment, "Cremify it, it's too miserable to separate the head and body and bury it in the ground."

Nangong Biluo nodded and stopped talking, raised the wine to signal again, but Wu Yan shook his head and didn't intend to drink any more. The supervisor also coughed at this time to remind that the time had come, Nangong Biluo packed up his things and got up to leave.

"Nangong Biluo, thank you."

Wu Yan's voice came from behind, and Nangong Biluo, who was leaving, trembled and paused for a moment. She moved her head slightly, but she didn't look back at Wu Yan after all, "No, let's go."

Wu Yan watched her thin and handsome back leave, the executioner pulled out the death card behind him and pressed him once, asking him to bow his head and be beheaded, but he didn't bend down, looked back, the executioner was caught by him I was taken aback.Many executions have been carried out, and the executioner didn't force himself. He just wiped the knife with his arm, trying to raise the knife with one hand and drop it accurately. He held the steel knife high.The face of the knife reflected the scorching sun at noon and hurt Wu Yan's eyes. Wu Yan looked up and saw the blue sky with occasional white clouds.

What a sunny day!

Wu Yan took a deep breath and straightened his back, closed his eyes, and promised to be upright in his next life.

The knife fell and the head was broken.

The shrouded man quickly wrapped his body and head in a white cloth and carried them away. Nangong Biluo greeted him beforehand, and he conveniently carried him to cremation. The crowd also dispersed one after another, leaving a spot of wet blood on the execution platform.After the crowd has almost dispersed, the blood also coagulates, and there will be another rainy day to wash it away or wait for the blood of the next condemned prisoner to cover it up.

Nangong Biluo poured the rest of the wine in the wine jar on the ground, and there were only a few people around. She was also planning to leave, but when she turned around, she saw Lin Lang looking at her motionlessly. She wondered, "How could you Here? Did something happen again?"

Lin Lang shook her head, "Xue'er is recovering very well, and Mingyufang has been peaceful recently."

Nangong Biluo was relieved, "Then you?"

"I'm here to take inventory of the shops for the proprietress, and I'm passing by here."

"Boss lady?" Nangong Biluo frowned.

"Boss Lu." Seeing her reaction, Lin Lang naturally knew that she was thinking of Feng Piaoxu, but she forgot that some people were impossible to see again and they were caused by her own hands. "What's your reaction? You clearly know that we will never see her again."

When Nangong Biluo heard the words, she knew that Lin Lang didn't know anything about Shaolin Temple. It seemed that they were also thinking about not telling them, so she didn't plan to tell them, even though she already knew that the person they were thinking about was safe and understood the ins and outs . "So? Go back when you're done. There are many people here, so I should go back to the Yamen."

"Is there any crowd? The people are almost scattered, and there is at most one more lonely soul. You are in a hurry to leave because you have a bad heart."

Nangong frowned, "Huh?"

"Wu Yan, the centipede of the Nine Festivals, fled for seven years and was offered a reward of 500 taels. He was arrested and returned to Beijing by you a month ago. He testified against the high-ranking official Luo Hong, Hua Yang's father-in-law, and helped the Metropolitan Procuratorate crack down on corruption cases and seized 8 taels of stolen money. Two, punish 27 officials, big and small. He is a tainted witness. The matter of Yang has been wandering, living a life of fleeing and killing. Before that, the Baiyu Gang had publicized the truth about his affair with Hua Yang. Hua Yang deceived the world and stole his name, and tired him all his life. It was not difficult for Wu Yan to kill him in anger. I understand. I think you arrested him back then to punish corrupt officials, and you thought about saving his life, but you still succumbed to the power. Wu Yan will die because Luo Hong belongs to Wang Jin, and Wang Jin can't see him alive, right?"

"Fengyuelou's eyeliner is really powerful. Ningyan and the little remaining forces in the capital pulled up the intelligence network again, connecting the Jianghu court, and even knowing about Wang Jin's suppression of Mr. Wang's memorial. But what do you want to express by saying this? Accusing me?"

"Don't label me indiscriminately. After all, I'm still in Yingchunyuan. Many people can't keep their mouths shut when they're having fun. It's not surprising to know this. I'm not blaming you by saying this, and I'm not qualified. It's just Nangong Catcher , under the oppression of Wang Jin covering the sky with one hand, are you still willing to implement that set of decadent laws? Those who want to be protected cannot be protected, those who want to be protected cannot be protected, and those who are really guilty and should be punished are at large. Don’t you feel bad? " Linlang looked a little sad, in her eyes, Feng Piaoxu was just like Wu Yan, Nangong Biluo had to compromise due to the imposition of duties under high pressure.At first it was resentment, but after these days, she looked at Nangong Biluo, who let them complain and bear grudges, but still protected and helped them, more and more helpless.

The sense of powerlessness that she could choose but still go against her will made Lin Lang very hurt, "I feel sorry for you, Sister Bi Luo."

Nangong Biluo lost her mind for a moment. The name "sister" started on the Lantern Festival. It was a joking name when playing around and also a recognition of her own people.She couldn't help softening her expression. She helped Lin Lang and the others because of Piaoxu, not just because of Piaoxu. When Lin Lang said these words, she knew that they were worth helping. "You don't have to feel sorry for me. I will be sad, but I don't regret it. Wu Yan died because of Wang Jin, but he died unjustly. Some things have passed, and you are better than anything in the future."

Linlang looked at Nangong Biluo suspiciously, while Nangong Biluo looked aside, Linlang then noticed that the people who hadn't left just now, there were old and young, and one or two were lighting joss sticks and worshiping something.She approached Nangong Biluo and asked, "Are they worshiping Wu Yan?"

"No, they are comforting their dead relatives. Hua Yang is not pitiful, but some of the servants in his family are children, some are parents, and they all died at the hands of Wu Yan."

Lin Lang was stunned, while Nangong Biluo continued: "Thirteen lives were lost. Excluding the three members of Hua Yang's family, there were still ten innocent lives. In addition to Luo Hong's pressure and reward for revenge when the case was filed, they also went to the yamen to sue. These are not under the control of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. After I captured Wu Yan, I took Wu Yan to meet them, some chose to forgive, and some wanted Wu Yan to pay for his life."

"Obviously knowing that people cannot be resurrected after death, even if Wu Yan dies, their relatives will not be able to come back, but maybe it is true that only when Wu Yan dies can the pain in their hearts be healed. It may not be bad for those who know how to repent and even make up for their sins to let him live and be punished, but they are the ones who really bear the sorrow, and we cannot make decisions for them. Forgiveness is a kind of great wisdom, which cannot be forced, and people's emotions and cognitions are different , the views on one matter will be different. It is not a bad thing to be judged by the law. When arresting, the arrest is based on the duty and order, which is the king's law, not emotion."

"But——" Nangong Biluo let out a breath of foul air, "Catchers are also human, and they also have emotional judgments. Sometimes you will find that the difficult thing is to choose, not to follow. I am really sad that I couldn't save Wu Yan, but I I don't regret arresting him. I also hate Wang Jin for covering the sky with his hands, but that's not the reason for me to compromise. On the contrary, I have been resisting, not only me but Mr. Wang, he will not always be proud. I am sad, sad that he did not get A chance to make amends, and even more sad for the killing he committed in the first place, and use himself and twelve lives to be buried with Hua Yang. I am also sad that the law is not complete and fair, and I abide by the law but I am also afraid of being completely superstitious in the law."

"Fortunately, after so many years, I have been walking this road. After a lot of helplessness, I have not regretted it, and I have my own judgment." Nangong Biluo laughed, as gentle and firm as when we first met, "So Lin Lang, You don't have to feel sorry for me anymore, I asked for it. You and Lianxin are still willing to accept the help I can do, which is already very good. If you can help me say good things in front of Sister Lu, I will be more grateful. After all, I don't want to lose her friend."

Lin Lang looked at Nangong Biluo's smiling face for a moment, she was speechless for a moment, she was a little guilty, she didn't understand enough after all, and then she smiled and said: "Don't worry, she is just hard-spoken and soft-hearted. Secretly, he also gave some laxatives to the guests who gossiped about you behind their backs and made fun of you. As you said, it’s useless, but it’s a relief.”

"Is there such a thing? Sister Lu is not good enough in her work. Boss Liu and the others are old and hot. I would rather she be more polite to me and my little brothers who are fast."

"At least she didn't refuse their patrol, and she didn't make things difficult for them, did she?"

Nangong Biluo nodded, looked around, "I'll take you back."

Lin Lang thought about it and nodded. She also wanted to chat with Nangong Biluo more, but she didn't know what it would be useful, but the proprietress was gone, and she suddenly felt that Nangong Biluo was so lonely. "OK."

On the way, Nangong Biluo inquired about the current situation of Mingyufang, and also asked how Lu Sanniang would arrange them. Lin Lang talked about the remodeling of Fengyue Tower, because the senior official who bought Fengyue Tower also fell in this corruption case. , and also mentioned that there is a little girl who looks familiar and often goes to the ruins to worship Feng Piaoxu.Nangong Biluo heard Lin Lang's description of her appearance and the Buddhist beads on her body, so she guessed that it was Chun Xi, and then Lin Lang remembered the little girl Feng Piaoxu had rescued.

Feng Piaoxu did a lot of charity anonymously. She said it was for peace of mind. Linlang and the others also knew that if they didn't have a conscience, why would they do these thankless things? It was precisely because of this that Lin Lang and the others followed her wholeheartedly.

Lin Lang also mentioned that Lv Sanniang planned to hand over some of her stores to them. They were originally handed over by Feng Piaoxu, and it would be appropriate for them, who have been with Feng Piaoxu for many years, to take care of them, but she was worried that good people would grab their identity as happy women. challenge.

"You don't have to worry about that, I'll let someone watch over it. Since I used the token Wang Jin gave me, many people have sold me thin noodles."

"But you can't always rely on you, and you are now in a lot of dirty water, because Aunt Su still has a good reputation there, they are all called Living Bodhisattvas, so everyone gives thin noodles to Nangong's family. Me and Yan, cough, me and my sisters They have discussed it and can solve it by themselves. They also have their own things they want to do, not all of them will be able to run the business, and there are other arrangements." Lin Lang didn't say that Ning Yan's letter would come back quickly, but she didn't forget Ning Yan Still wanted.

Nangong Biluo didn't expose her intentionally not to mention Ningyan, "It's great to have something you want to do. What about you, what do you want to do? You are proficient in a lot of musical instruments, you can be a musician, and it's not bad to open a class and set up a shop."

"Me? Although I like musical instruments very much, I really want to be a storyteller."

"Mr. Storyteller? Hehehe." Nangong Biluo imagined for a while, and laughed with fists on his lips.

"Is it that funny? Inappropriate?"

"No, it's good, but it's not convenient for women." Nangong Biluo put away her smile, and after walking a few steps, she suddenly thought of something, "Actually, it's good that you like storytelling, you can..."

"Huh?" Seeing her motioning to approach, Lin Lang put her ear close to her, and when Nangong Biluo finished speaking, she looked at her complicatedly. "Is this really okay? You..."

"There's nothing wrong with it. If you want to do the same, then do it. I believe you will do better than anyone else."

Lin Lang pondered for a moment and nodded. After chatting and sending them off, they had already arrived outside the archway of Mingyufang. Nangong Biluo said that now she should not cause too much trouble in front of Lu Sanniang and the others, so they sent them here. Lin Lang also said goodbye to her, and waited for Lin Lang to leave. Not long after, Nangong Biluo looked at the food box in his hand, thinking of Wu Yan who had just surrendered, he still walked into Mingyufang, went to the ruins that had not yet been rebuilt, and stood there for a long time.

This ecstasy lasted until evening.

"It's time to investigate the cases of Liu Wenjie and Song Qingtian as soon as possible." She muttered to herself and cheered herself up. When she turned around, she saw a figure in black clothes approaching. floc.

But then she frowned and looked at the person in front of her, "Ningyan?"

"I have something to talk to you." Ning Yan searched Nangong Mansion and Yamen, but unexpectedly found Nangong Biluo here. The two looked at each other in front of the ruins of Fengyue Tower. Ning Yan was in a complicated mood, but she quickly adjusted.

"My sister wants to see you."
