Chapter 138 Beheading~! (Additional chapter for [v断忆v] reward)
October 18, cloudy,
Suitable for: offering sacrifices, burial, moving coffins, breaking ground, and starting a funeral

Taboo: Don’t take other things.

A good day for burial.

At the foot of Tianheng Mountain,

Hundreds of prisoners were held here.

There were many Liyue people watching around.

Hundreds of children of wealthy families were arrested, and after two days of public trial, nearly a hundred of them were sentenced to death.
The rest will almost certainly end up weaving in prison until they die of old age.

And today is the day to execute these death row prisoners.

On the execution ground,

The death row inmates all had different expressions.

Some cried bitterly, some yelled angrily, and some looked desperate.
But no matter what they called, what they said, what they shouted,
The Qianyan soldiers guarding them all looked indifferent.

After two days of public trial, their crimes have been fully exposed.
There are even more evidences than what Wang Hao initially collected.

Under the pressure of public opinion, Wang Hao has completely stood on the side of justice and on the moral high ground.

And no one will sympathize with these death row inmates.

Even if there are, sympathizers dare not stand up and say anything.

Otherwise, public opinion will crush him.

This is the trend that Wang Hao is pursuing.

It has been more than two years since I got the barrage.

For the first time, Wang Hao truly controlled the situation.

I looked up at the sky,
The midday sun releases light and heat.

The dazzling sunlight shines down, giving people a sense of heat.

October is already golden autumn.

But the power of the autumn tiger is no weaker than that of the hot summer.

"The time has come, bring the prisoner to the stage."

Wang Hao's cold voice spread throughout the execution ground.

The people watching around suddenly became noisy.

After waiting for so long, it’s finally here.

The Qianyan soldiers brought the death row prisoner forward and kicked him in the calf, knocking him down.

A batch of ten people.

Then ten tall men came forward with big swords in their hands.

Drink the strong liquor, open your mouth and spit it out,
Strong liquor was sprayed on the sword,

Some of it even sprayed on the prisoners, causing them to scream in fear.

"I have verified my true identity, and there is no mistake or omission."

"Execution."

The sword whistled down,

Ten heads fell and scarlet blood splattered.

Some of the onlookers looked excited, as if their great revenge had been achieved, while others looked pale, as if they felt the same way.

This is exactly the effect Wang Hao wants.

It can not only highlight goodness, but also deter lawlessness.

[666, I didn’t expect to actually see a beheading.]

[Nonsense, we taught Wang Hao this process.]

[There has never been such a public execution in Liyue before. 】

[So is this a regression or progress of civilization? ]

【Being able to deter bad guys is progress.】

[There is no direct relationship between civilization and the death penalty, and the absence of the death penalty does not represent civilization. ]

If bad people can't be punished, what's the point of civilization?

[Our ancestors have already said, repay evil with kindness, how can we repay kindness? ]

[An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Even a grudge of ten generations can be avenged! ]

[Fuck, the ram is resurrected? ]

[It is also possible that he has never died. ]

【…】

Ignore the noise of the barrage,

Wang Hao looked at the execution coldly and waved his hand: "Take the next batch."

Someone immediately dragged the body away and brought in the next batch of death row prisoners.

At the same time, a new group of executioners came over.

Beheading is a very cruel thing.
Even a professional executioner cannot keep chopping.

Their spirits are also tense and they need to take turns to rest.

Not everyone is like Wang Hao. In ten days, he traveled hundreds of miles and killed nearly a thousand Fatui without feeling anything.

For most people, killing someone can cause them to have nightmares for years.

Ten, ten, and ten more...

The smell of blood spread across the execution platform, and even the onlookers not far away could smell the unpleasant odor.

Some people cheered, some were in deep thought, and some were heartbroken.

Wang Hao’s goal was achieved in this trial.

A hundred people chopped for an hour, achieving maximum effect.

When the blood falls to the ground and soaks into the soil,

Wang Haocai returned to the stage.

"The execution is over. I hereby warn all the people to do more good deeds and not harm people. The Emperor is watching you, the Seven Stars are watching you, and the General Affairs Department is also watching you."

After saying this, he ignored the surging crowd and waved to the Qianyan Army who were maintaining order not far away.

Start asking the onlookers to leave.

As for the human blood steamed buns... Liyue does not have this custom.

that night,

The news of Wang Hao's execution spread throughout Liyue.
Some people scold him, some people praise him, but there is no doubt that Wang Hao is truly famous.

Everyone knows that he is ruthless.

……

The poorhouse, Wang Hao's room,
"Welcome our ruthless judge."

At the family dinner,
Wang Hao had just returned from outside when he saw Xingqiu standing aside, clapping loudly.

Keqing looked at Xingqiu unhappily, her face full of speechlessness.

Chongyun didn't understand what was going on, and Xingqiu pulled him aside, so he started clapping as well.

Wang Hao was as speechless as Keqing.

"Click me, this is not a good reputation."

"Haha, you're famous now. When I came over here, I heard someone using you to scare a kid."

Xingqiu laughed loudly, talked, and acted out his performance.

"Don't cry. If you continue crying, the Iron-faced Judge will come and take you away."

Without waiting for Wang Hao to speak, Xingqiu laughed even louder: "The funniest thing is that the child cried even harder."

Wang Hao: …

Other people's reputation can stop a child from crying at night, but your own reputation can make a child cry loudly.

I don't know if it's good or bad.

"Hehe, actually it's not that exaggerated. Most people still recognize you." Shi Jie said on the other side of the table.

He was assigned to Wang Hao by Ningguang, and since they were classmates, he is now considered a part of the small circle.

"I know."

Wang Hao nodded gently, pulled out a chair and sat down: "This is within my expectations. There will definitely be a reputation for killing, but there will also be many people who can distinguish between good and evil."

"What are you going to do next?" Keqing asked.

She probably really cares about Wang Hao's reputation.

After all, if Wang Hao's reputation continues to be bad, then the family...

Wang Hao shook his head: "If you do nothing, time will smooth out everything. If you rush to clear your name, you will end up at a disadvantage."

His current image is that he is not afraid of getting a bad reputation and dares to actually use torture.

If you try to clean up your reputation, there will be holes in your image.

With loopholes, the deterrent effect on some people will be weakened.

"Okay." Keqing nodded and didn't say much. In her heart, Wang Hao has always been very opinionated. She knew that even if she wanted Wang Hao to clear his reputation as soon as possible, Wang Hao would not listen.

"Hey, let's eat quickly. I ordered this specifically from Xiangling." Xingqiu also sat down and picked up the chopsticks. "It won't taste good if it gets cold."

After saying that, he placed a plate of cold dishes in front of Chongyun: "This is a cold dish specially prepared for you."

Everyone: You just said it doesn’t taste good when it’s cold.

Chongyun: "Thank you."

This honest child could not hear Chu Qiu's teasing at all.

However, even though Xingqiu teased him, he put a lot of thought into the cold dishes he prepared for Chongyun.

Beautifully styled, looks delicious.

Everyone sat down and picked up their chopsticks.

"By the way, remember to go to Yuehai Pavilion tomorrow." Keqing suddenly said to Wang Hao.

Wang Hao was stunned: "Business?"

Keqing nodded: "Well, regarding your new appointment, with your current reputation, even Deacon Zhang won't dare to assign you any tasks when you go to the Law Department."

Hearing Keqing say this, Wang Hao also laughed.

"Deacon Zhang has indeed been avoiding me recently."

He is a killer, who dares to provoke him?

If you assign tasks to him, what if he is unhappy and gets himself into trouble?

"I'll go there tomorrow at noon." Wang Hao said again.

Keqing nodded, there was no problem with time.

After talking about your own things,
Wang Hao looked at Shi Jie again: "Do you have any plans for the future?"

Now that the task of eliminating the corrupt family is almost over, Shi Jie has nothing to do.

Shi Jie put down his chopsticks: "Lord Ningguang asked me to follow you. There is no plan for the time being."

"Hmm..." Wang Hao groaned.
Shi Jie is a capable person, and since Ningguang has given him to me, there is no time to waste.

Otherwise it will harm people's future.

"I don't know what the next arrangements are. If I don't have a job for the time being, then you can come to the orphanage first. I just received a sum of money and need someone to take care of it."

The previous mission was completed, and the money that Wang Hao had amassed from the casino should be deposited into the account of the orphanage.

With such a large sum of money, it is inevitable that some people will be tempted. Letting Shi Jie look after it will also give the director's grandmother some peace of mind.

"Look after the funds? Sure, I happened to be studying financial management before, so I can help a little."

Shi Jie nodded very naturally.

He knew very well that he and Wang Hao were both very young, and there was no need to rush about their future.

Not to mention that both of them are considered people of Tianquan,
There is also Yuheng at the dinner table, how can there be no bright future?
Impossible.

Therefore, even if Wang Hao did not give a clear way forward, Shi Jie did not care at all. Anyway, as long as he followed Wang Hao, there would definitely be a future.

"Well, if there is any special situation tomorrow, I will reschedule you." Wang Hao said.

Shi Jie smiled and nodded without saying anything else.

After dinner,

Xingqiu grabbed Wang Hao.

"Come to the yard, I'll show you a treasure."

Wang Hao was confused.

【Okay, okay, retribution has come. 】

[Wang Hao really understands Xingqiu. He really came prepared.]

【what's the situation? 】

[Last time Wang Hao boasted about the Yuhua Oath, Xingqiu ran away in anger. Wang Hao said at the time that the next time they met, Xingqiu would definitely show it off to him.]

【Oh, I remember now.】

【…】

As the barrage of comments passed by, Wang Hao also understood.

Xingqiu has found the sword.

Was dragged into the yard.

There are many little guys playing around.
They knew that Wang Hao had guests, so when they saw Wang Hao coming, they just waved from a distance and did not come closer.

Wang Hao also nodded to the children, signaling them to play carefully.

"Let me show you my new weapon."

As he spoke, Xingqiu grasped the air, and a gorgeous long sword appeared in his hand.

The bluish-purple sword glowed faintly and looked very beautiful.

The blade is sharp, and it is obvious at first glance that it is a real sword.

[It is indeed a sacrificial sword. 】

[Wow, you can still buy a sacrificial sword in Liyue? ]

[Feiyun Chamber of Commerce is very big. 】

[Now Xingqiu has graduated from weapons. 】

[Judging from the color, it is not an elementary sacrificial sword, it must have reached the second level at least.]

[Is there a level breakthrough in reality? 】

【Anyway, the color is like this. 】

【…】

Wang Hao raised his eyebrows: "This style is not like what we have here."

"Haha, that's right. I bought it from a Mond collector at a high price."

Xingqiu looked very proud.

Wang Hao nodded slightly, this was consistent with what the barrage said.

Xingqiu was still showing off: "This is the sword used by the ancient nobles of Mondstadt. It was originally used for sacrifices, but now it is considered a divine weapon."

Wang Hao immediately showed an envious look: "That's great."

It’s not that he was really envious, but he knew that Xingqiu was just waiting for him to praise him.

We are all friends, and it won’t hurt to praise each other.

Sure enough, upon hearing Wang Hao's words, Xingqiu immediately smiled and narrowed his eyes.

Cool!
Smiling,

Several other people came out.

When Keqing saw the long sword in Xingqiu's hand, her eyes lit up: "What a nice sword."

She also learned swordsmanship.

With his Yunlai swordsmanship, he could easily defeat the robbers two years ago.

Now he has mastered the element of thunder, his swordsmanship is sharp and his mobility is extremely strong.

After seeing the sacrificial sword, she could also see the other party's excellence.

As she spoke, Keqing seemed to become interested.

With a grasp of the void, a gorgeously carved blade emerged, and a slight humming sound was heard.

"Come on, Xingqiu, let's have a try."

【Good, good, good, the dragon roars in the box. 】

【Four-star showdown.】

[Ahem, Keqing is five stars. ]

[Don't be ridiculous, I'm talking about weapons. ]

【Oh, I misunderstood.】

【…】

Dragon roar in the box?

Is it the weapon in Keqing's hand?

Wang Hao looked at the sharp blade and thought about the faint dragon roar that had indeed been heard just now.

Well-deserved reputation.

the other side,
Faced with Keqing's challenge, Xingqiu naturally would not show weakness.

Two years ago, Keqing and Wang Hao faced the robbers together, but he was the only one who ran to call the Qianyan Army.

Wang Hao and Keqing may have forgotten about this.

But Xingqiu always remembered.

Today, he also wanted to try out Keqing's swordsmanship.

"Okay, come."

Xingqiu held the sword in one hand and struck a pose.

Keqing was not far behind, the dragon roar in the box made a real soft sound, and the sharpness was not concealed at all.

"You can fight, but don't use elemental power." Wang Hao reminded quickly.

There are children in the courtyard.

The infectious power of elemental forces is no joke.

It's too dangerous for children.

"clear."

Xingqiu replied, but his eyes were always fixed on Keqing.

Keqing also nodded, then swung her sword in a flower shape and rushed towards Xingqiu.

Yunlai swordsmanship VS Guhua swordsmanship.

The two of them trembled slightly, and in the blink of an eye they collided with each other.
As the long swords collided, sparks flew a little bit, and it could be seen that both of them used a lot of strength.

After a few moves, Keqing held the sword in her backhand and swung it diagonally. Xingqiu quickly dodged sideways and swept his sword across to force Keqing away.

The two sides attacked and defended each other continuously, and the sword moves were as dense as woven cloth, which was dazzling.

Not only Wang Hao and others were watching the excitement around them, but some children who were playing not far away were also attracted over.

After all, the yard is not big, and the noise of the battle can be seen by everyone at once.

A few minutes later,

After a collision, the two men both took several steps back and thrust their swords into the ground to indicate a draw.

The two men's swordsmanship skills are almost the same.

If we continue, it will be a deadly move.
Or the victory can be determined by using elemental power.

After fighting with Keqing, Xingqiu got a little drunk and looked at Wang Hao.

It seems that he wants to fight with Wang Hao as well.

However, he soon remembered Wang Hao's inhuman strength.

Without using elemental power, he is really no match for Wang Hao.

"Ahem, it's over, it's over."

Xingqiu touched his nose somewhat awkwardly and put away the sacrificial sword.

Keqing also put away the dragon roar in her box.

The children around also gathered around.

"Sister Keqing, Brother Xingqiu, you are so amazing."

Some of the children knew both of them.
After all, the two of them went to the orphanage with Wang Hao many times.

Later, I often donated things to orphanages.

Keqing picked up a little girl and said, "When you grow up, you will be as powerful as me."

Xingqiu blushed when he was praised and kept smiling.

"Brother Hao, can we do it too?" A boy looked at Wang Hao, his eyes full of desire.

For little boys, handsome fighting is definitely more attractive than reading.

Wang Hao smiled and rubbed their hair: "If you want, I can ask someone to teach you some martial arts."

The little boy's eyes sparkled.

“But the homework must be completed.”

The light disappeared from the little boy's eyes.

Why do I have to do homework before practicing martial arts?

Seeing that the little guy had lost his spirit, Wang Hao knocked on his head in annoyance: "It's not that easy to practice martial arts. It requires knowledge to support it. It can't just ruin your body. You can practice martial arts without studying. You wish."

Wang Hao pointed at Keqing and Xingqiu and said, "Sister Keqing and brother Xingqiu are both excellent students."

Keqing glanced at Wang Hao and nodded to the children: "Your brother Hao is right. Only by learning knowledge can we become better."

Xingqiu also spoke up at this time: "Yes, learning is very important. I will send you some books later. Five books for each person."

Xingqiu didn't notice that the little kid, who had been close to him, looked at him with fear in his eyes.

He was still talking about the importance of reading.

He particularly emphasized that he likes reading and stays up late every night to read.

On the side, Wang Hao and Keqing looked at each other and saw the smile in each other's eyes.

Xingqiu stayed up late to study?

This is not uncommon in the circle of friends.

Everyone knows what book Xingqiu stayed up late to read.

Just didn't expose him.

Not only did Wang Hao not expose him, he also praised Xingqiu with a sly smile: "That's right, your brother Xingqiu not only reads a lot of books, but also writes his own books."

Write a book?!
That's amazing.
The children who were instilled with the idea that studying is useful by Wang Hao since childhood,

Although they may not necessarily like reading, they definitely admire people who can write books.

"Brother Xingqiu is so awesome!"

The little ones looked at him with admiration.
Xingqiu, who wanted to explain that he was writing a novel, suddenly didn't know how to start.

Seeing Xingqiu's tangled face,

Wang Hao and Keqing were laughing secretly on the side.

After a while, Xingqiu finally recovered and smiled and played with everyone.

Several people played with the children in the yard until night.
Only after the director's wife came to tell everyone to go to bed did they say goodbye and leave one by one.
