The executioner lowered his head. "Celestial Master Zuo, please select the candidates."
Celestial Master Zuo's eyes scanned the punishment pillars. His gaze was like a wolf's. Whoever he stared at would be nervous.
"This, this, that …" He pointed out ten people. There were old people, children, and women …
Moreover, they were the distant relatives of the Gu family. These people had lived a peaceful life and were ordinary people. They had never experienced such a scene. When they were pointed out, they were sweating profusely. Some were crying, some were screaming, and some were begging for mercy …
However, Celestial Master Zuo had given his order. The executioners immediately tied up the people who were pointed out …
The executioners were not professional executioners from the government, but they were trained by Celestial Master Zuo's mansion.
Obviously, these people had undergone professional training. They quickly tied up the person who was about to be executed in a special position, took off the clothes, and sprayed water on the person's body …
Everyone clenched their fists and held their breaths after this set of actions!
Gu Xietian's eyes were red. "If you want to try, try it on me first!"
Celestial Master Zuo glanced at him. "What's the rush? It will be your turn sooner or later. You're the main culprit, so we have to wait for these executioners to perfect their skills before we start with you. Don't worry, we need to cut you 2,300 times, and each cut will be very evenly distributed. If you die before they finish, these executioners will be considered to have made a mistake and will be buried with you. "
The executioners tightened their grip on the knives!
They knew that Gu Xietian was wronged, but they had no choice. They did not want to be buried with Gu Xietian …
The executioner gave his order. When the executioners were about to start the execution, someone finally stood up!
Regardless of the time, there would always be people who had a strong sense of justice. Even if they were pressured, they might not be able to suppress all of them.
"Celestial Master Zuo, Gu Xietian should be sentenced to death for collaborating with the enemy and committing treason. However, he had contributed a lot to the war. Both his merits and demerits are negligible. How about this? As for the others, we can just cut them down. It's not worthwhile for everyone to be dismembered … "The person who stood up was the censor who was Gu Xietian's colleague. He was not a stubborn person, but he could not stand it anymore!
He had a good relationship with Celestial Master Zuo, so he spoke up for justice.
Of course, he did not dare to completely reverse the verdict for Gu Xietian. He only wanted to give these innocent people a quick death.
Celestial Master Zuo's eyes turned cold. He smiled and said, "Do you have the right to tell me what to do? Guards! Take him down! Death by a thousand cuts! "
Everyone: "…"
The official also froze! Some of Celestial Master Zuo's men ran over and tied him up.
This move had the effect of killing the chicken to scare the monkey. Everyone was frightened, but it also made them even angrier.
The official only reacted after he was tied up. He shouted that he was innocent and said that he was an official of the imperial court. Even if he had committed a crime, the emperor should be the one to punish him instead of Celestial Master Zuo.
Unfortunately, Celestial Master Zuo did not listen to him at all. He sneered, "If you speak up for a traitor, you will be punished as well! Why did Your Majesty come forward? "
He was ordered to be counted among the first to be executed.
The commoners were in an uproar. Even an official of the imperial court could be convicted and executed so easily, let alone commoners like them.
In Celestial Master Zuo's eyes, the lives of the people were as cheap as grass and could be harvested at will!
