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

Just after dinner, the square in front of the Heavenly King's Mansion became a sea of ​​people. This is a square square paved with bluestone slabs. To the north of the square, facing the Tianchao Gate and the Wulong Bridge on the Yugou, it is bordered by the wide Yu Street. There is a large white marble screen wall three meters high and more than ten meters wide. In the center of the large screen wall, there is a high platform made of blue stones and decorated with white marble on all sides. This is the so-called "rooftop". There are also wooden archways on both sides of the rooftop. The one on the left is written "The Emperor's Ten Thousand Years" and the one on the right is written with "Taiping Unification", which is both red and gold characters. Even under the swaying lights at night, it is also very eye-catching.

The rooftop was originally intended to be used by Hong Xiuquan on his birthday on the tenth day of December to thank the sky. There was even a fixed white marble incense table in front of the rooftop. Unfortunately, before the birthday was over, it was only for the use of missionary and sermons by the Celestial Empire. It was probably only once. Later, it became a place where the officials of the Celestial Empire were punished specifically, which was the execution ground.

Now, rows of young soldiers from the Red Army Training Brigade's spy company were surrounded by rows of young soldiers. Apart from the battalion that arranged the cordon, the other battalions sat quietly on the ground facing the incense table in front of the rooftop. There were no vegetarian wax, rice and water that people were familiar with before, but were empty. Vegetarian wax, rice and water were used for teaching, and today they were not used. A tall wooden cross was erected in the middle of the rooftop. Next to the cross was a pile of linen, ropes, and a large tank. Needless to ask, it must be filled with lamp oil.

Someone is going to be lit up the sky lantern. Although many people know that among the crowded crowds who are called to watch, no one has seen this punishment with his own eyes. There are many trembling tortures in the sky, and what everyone knows is probably the most powerful thing about the five horses and the sky lantern. It is easy to understand that the five horses are tangled. If this sky lantern was not visible with his own eyes, it would have taken people's attention. How to click? Where to start? No matter what, when people think of the pain of being burned by fire, people will feel chilled by the cruelty of the punishment. If it were not for an organized convene, there would be not many people who would like to see such so-called lively people. They would still want to rest early and raise their spirits. They still have their own things to do tomorrow. However, there are no women or children in the crowd, which is an early rule.

With a few slightly sad sounds of the gongs, the prison car finally appeared. The prison car was escorted along the eastern Yucheng, led by Chen Yucheng, the soldiers of the brigade guard company, and escorted along the Imperial Street to the east.

Shi Zhenji, who was tied up with his hands, jumped out of the prison car. He stood firm and looked out, especially when he stopped at the brothers of the spy company for a long time, then he took a step and walked up to the rooftop surrounded by several soldiers.

"Why is he still wearing the Red Army's clothes?"

"That's right, it's a pity to wear such beautiful clothes."

"Bah, you guys didn't read what was written on the notice. He didn't violate the military rules."

"That's a violation of the law of heaven."

"Do you still miss your wife? If you think about it, you will end up like that."

"Get out of here, we would rather be a monk for the rest of our lives than suffer this."

"Yes, don't say it's really burning, if I'm scared, I'll be scared to death."

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

"I heard that I can fight very well."

"Every young people in our heavenly dynasty can fight, they are all good."

The crowd began to get a little turmoil. People were looking up at the "criminal" on the rooftop. They lowered their voices and talked secretly. More people sighed helplessly. Nothing is useful, but if they say too much, they will cause trouble for themselves. The Heavenly Notes prohibit people from discussing and slandering the government.

Chen Yucheng followed behind and walked up to the rooftop. He looked up at the sky, then at the dark crowd under the rooftop, at the soldiers who were meditating quietly, and then thinking about the tasks he was carrying out, his heart felt like he had been knocked over, and he seemed to be sitting on a oil pan, and he couldn't tell what it felt like.

How could His Highness An be like this? He glanced at Shi Zhenji who was standing against the cross, and quickly lowered his head. He was unwilling to meet his eyes. "The young man left his body to fight for thousands of miles. It's a pity that today's prisoners were the tigers on the battlefield in the past." He muttered in his heart, and lamented that a good man was in front of the death formation. Such death is really...

Shi Zhenji also lowered his head, but soon he looked up at the sky again. It was another dark night, without the moon, and without the stars. He remembered the first battle after putting on the Red Army uniform. He closed his eyes gently, for fear that tears would flow out. He really regretted his intestines. If there was still a next life...

"Your Highness An is here!" With a loud shout, a large sedan chair carried by twenty-four people, surrounded by the Anwang Mansion Guard and hundreds of internal affairs department card knives, slowly descended to the back of the large screen wall along the Imperial Street to the west.

As soon as he saw His Highness An glaring on the rooftop, Chen Yuzhi shouted at the officers and soldiers of the teaching brigade under the rooftop, "Stand up and salute!" Then he turned around and came to King An, knocking his heels hard, "Report to His Highness An, and follow your order, the teaching brigade's judicial field has been arranged. Please instruct!"

Lin Haifeng raised his hand and was about to answer something, but his hand suddenly stopped in the air and was stunned.

When all the officers and soldiers of the teaching brigade jumped up from the ground and saluted His Highness, whom they truly loved, tens of thousands of people in the square had already knelt on the ground, and shouts of "King An, thousands of years, thousands of years!" were heard one after another.

Lin Haifeng quickly woke up. He knelt on one knee to the ground and raised his hands high, "Brothers, please get up quickly."

The Red Army soldiers who were responsible for setting up the cordon also quickly persuaded the people in front of them, repeatedly telling them that King An did not need such etiquette. If everyone didn't get up, His Highness King An would have to kneel down all the time.

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

Lin Haifeng stood up and felt a little excited, "Brothers, I'm so embarrassed, I'm still meeting you on such an occasion. Today I am the deceased officer."

He turned his head to look at Shi Zhenji behind him, "Everyone has seen the announcement. Someone has violated the Heavenly Order and has to accept the punishment of lighting the sky lantern in the Heavenly Dynasty. Everyone must understand that this is an extremely cruel punishment. Everyone may ask in their hearts whether it violates the Heavenly Order and the purpose of human nature? Without rules, there is no order. There is no way. Since the Heavenly Order is written now, we must all implement it. In fact, if we don't violate the Heavenly Order, then, no matter how severe or cruel the criminal law is, what can it do to us?"

He paused for a moment, and then said, "The changes in Tianjing are obvious to everyone. Although the Qing Yao is outside the city and wishes to strangle us immediately, we have begun to live and work in peace and contentment. The people who left Tianjing in the past are gradually returning to their homes they should have. All this is attributed to the Heavenly Kingdom, the Heavenly King and the Eastern King's diligence and love for the people. Our Heavenly Kingdom was first established and was still a child in cradles. If it is a child, there will inevitably be some deviations. Hasn't the system of men and women's branches in the Heavenly Kingdom changed? This is enough to prove the greatness of our Heavenly Kingdom, and it is enough to prove the broad mind of the Heavenly King and the Eastern King. Our Heavenly King, the Eastern King, is in mind the people of the whole world! For the benefit of the people of the whole world, we are willing to give up everything."

Speaking of this, he raised his right arm high, "Long live the Heavenly Kingdom! Long live the Heavenly King!"

"Long live the Heavenly Kingdom! Long live the Heavenly King!" A wave of rolling sound suddenly formed in the square.

Lin Haifeng looked at the watch, looked at the street intersections on both sides of the east and west, and then waved at Chen Yucheng beside him, "Prepare to be sentenced."
