    The late autumn in Tianjing is not cold, but makes people feel the coolness of autumn.

    Just after dinner, the square in front of Tianwang Mansion turned into a sea of ??people.  This is a square square paved with bluestone slabs.  On the north side of the square, facing the Tianchao Gate and the Wulong Bridge on the Yugou, and adjacent to the wide Imperial Street, there is a large white marble screen wall three feet high and more than ten feet wide.  In the center in front of the big screen wall, there is a high platform made of green stones and decorated with white marble on all sides. This is the so-called "rooftop".  There is also a wooden archway built on both sides of the rooftop. The one on the left reads "Emperor Ten Thousand Years", and the one on the right reads "Peace and Unity". They are all gold characters on a red ground. Even under the swaying lights at night, they still look very eye-catching.  .

    The rooftop was originally used by Hong Xiuquan to go on stage to thank Heaven on his birthday, the tenth day of December.  There is even a fixed white marble incense table in front of the rooftop.  It's a pity that the birthday has not come yet, so it is used as a missionary for the whole country, so it probably only comes once.  Later, it became a place where officials of the Celestial Dynasty were specially punished, that is, the execution ground.

    Now, the rooftop is surrounded by rows of young soldiers from the Special Agent Company of the Red Army Teaching Brigade. Except for the first battalion that has set up a cordon, the other battalions are sitting quietly on the ground facing the incense table in front of the rooftop.  It was empty instead of the plain wax, white rice and water that people were familiar with in the past.  The plain wax, white rice and water are all used for teaching, so they are no longer needed today.  A tall wooden cross has been erected in the center of the rooftop. Next to the cross are a pile of linen cloth, ropes, and a large vat. No need to ask, it must be filled with lamp oil.

    Someone is going to be lit up with a sky lantern.  No one in the crowded crowd who had been summoned to watch had witnessed the punishment, although many were aware of it.  There are many shocking tortures in Tian Tiao. The ones that everyone knows are probably the most powerful ones: dismembering the body on five horses and lighting a sky lantern.  The dismemberment of five horses is easy to understand, but this sky lantern would have taken people a lot of thought unless they could see it with their own eyes.  How to order?  Where to start?  No matter what, when people think about the pain of being burned by fire, people will shudder at the cruelty of this punishment.  If it weren't for an organized gathering, I'm afraid there wouldn't be many people willing to come see this so-called excitement. They would also like to rest early and recuperate because they have their own things to do tomorrow.  However, there were no women or children in the crowd, which was a rule in advance.

    With a few melancholy gongs clearing the way, the prison van finally appeared.  The prison car was escorted along the Imperial Street to the east by soldiers from the brigade security company led by Chen Yucheng himself.

    With his hands tied behind him, Shi Zhenji jumped out of the prison car. He stood firm and looked around, especially his eyes on the brothers of the special agent company. He paused for a long time before taking a step forward and looking around.  Surrounded by several soldiers, he went up to the rooftop.

    "Why is he still wearing Red Army clothes?"

    ¡°It¡¯s just that it¡¯s a pity to give him such beautiful clothes.¡±

    "Bah, did you read what was written on the notice? He didn't break any military regulations."

    "That's also a violation of heaven's rules."

    "It depends on whether you still miss your wife or not. If you do, you will end up with the same result."

    "Go away, we would rather be a monk for the rest of our lives than suffer this."

    "Yeah, don't tell me it's really burning, I'd be scared to death if I were scared."

    "He doesn't seem to care, tsk tsk, he's so young."

    "I heard he is very good at fighting."

    "Every young man in our dynasty is good at fighting."

    The crowd began to become a little commotion. People were raising their heads and feet to get a clear look at the "criminal" on the rooftop. They were talking quietly in low voices. More people were sighing helplessly.  It is useless to say anything. If you talk too much, you will get yourself into trouble. The rules of heaven prohibit people from talking about and slandering the government.

    Chen Yucheng followed him up to the rooftop. He looked up at the sky, the dark crowd under the rooftop, and the soldiers meditating quietly. Thinking about the mission he was currently performing, his heart felt like a five-flavor bottle had been knocked over.  , it¡¯s like sitting on a frying pan, and I can¡¯t tell what it feels like.

    How could His Highness Prince An do this?  He glanced at Shi Zhenji, who was standing against the cross, and quickly lowered his head, unwilling to meet his eyes.  "The young man abandoned himself to join the war, and traveled thousands of miles to fight. It's a pity that today's prisoners are prisoners, but in the past they were fierce tigers on the battlefield." He murmured in his heart, lamenting that a good man should die in front of the battle. Such a death is really

    Shi Zhenji also lowered his head, but soon he looked up at the sky again.  It was another dark night with no moon and no stars. He thought again of his first expedition after putting on the Red Army uniform.  He closed his eyes gently, fearing that tears would flow out. He really felt regretful in his intestines. If there was an afterlife

    "His Royal Highness Prince An is here!" With a loud shout, a large sedan carried by twenty-four people came to the palace of Prince An.Surrounded by troops and hundreds of swordsmen from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, they slowly walked along the imperial street to the west and landed behind the big screen wall.

    As soon as he saw His Royal Highness Prince An staring up at the rooftop, Chen Yucheng immediately shouted to the officers and soldiers of the teaching brigade under the rooftop, "Stand up and salute!" Then he turned around and came to Prince An, knocked hard with his heels and said, "Report to Prince An  Your Highness, according to your order, the security arrangements for the teaching field have been completed, please give instructions!"

    Lin Haifeng raised his hand, and just as he was about to answer something, his hand suddenly stopped in mid-air, and he was stunned.

    When all the officers and soldiers of the teaching brigade jumped up from the ground and saluted His Royal Highness Prince An, whom they truly loved, tens of thousands of people in the square were already kneeling on the ground, shouting "Thousands of years old, Thousands of years old King An!" one after another.  Everlasting.

    Lin Haifeng came to his senses quickly. He knelt down on one knee and raised his hands high. "Fathers and brothers, please get up quickly."

    The Red Army soldiers responsible for setting up the cordon also quickly persuaded the people in front of them, telling them repeatedly that King An did not need such etiquette. If everyone did not get up, His Highness King An would have no choice but to kneel down.

    People finally got up from the ground and began to look at the god carefully with their eyes wide open, using the lights around the rooftop.

    Lin Haifeng stood up, feeling a little excited, "Brothers and fathers, I'm so sorry to meet you on such an occasion. Today, I am the supervisor."

    He turned to look at Shi Zhenji behind him, "Everyone has seen the announcement. Someone has violated the rules of heaven and must be punished by lighting up sky lanterns. Everyone must understand that this is an extremely cruel punishment. Maybe everyone will  I asked in my mind, does this go against the Chinese government¡¯s purpose of emphasizing etiquette and humanity? There is no rule without rules, so there should be family rules at home. There is no way, since the rules of heaven are now written, we must all implement them. In fact, change the position  Think about it, if we don¡¯t violate the laws of heaven, then what use will even the most severe and cruel criminal laws have on us?¡±

    He paused and then continued: "Everyone has witnessed the recent changes in Tianjing. Although the Qingyao is outside the city and wants to strangle us immediately, we have gradually begun to live and work in peace and contentment. The people who left Tianjing in the past are also gradually  They returned to their original homeland. All this is attributed to the Heavenly Dynasty, to the diligent work of the Heavenly King and the Eastern King. When our Heavenly Dynasty was first established, we were still infants. As children, we will inevitably have some deviations.  , hasn¡¯t the system of men¡¯s and women¡¯s libraries in the Celestial Dynasty been changed? This is enough to prove the greatness of our Celestial Dynasty, and the broad-mindedness of the Heavenly King and the Eastern King. Our Heavenly King and the Eastern King care about the people of the world!  We are willing to sacrifice everything for the benefit of people all over the world."

    Having said this, he raised his right arm high and said, "Long live the Celestial Empire! Long live the King of Heaven!"

    "Long live the Celestial Empire! Long live the King of Heaven!" Waves of roaring sounds suddenly formed in the square.

    Lin Haifeng looked at his watch, then looked at the street intersections on the east and west sides, then waved to Chen Yucheng beside him, "Get ready for execution."
