At the intersection, the villagers lined up and watched the smoke and dust in the distance get closer and closer. Everyone began to look down at the ground and bow silently.

The sergeant of the army where the Tao family was located stood in front, bent his waist the lowest, and stretched his arms forward with all his might. At the end, he held the marshal's military cap of the Ming King.

The queue soon arrived in front of the villagers, and an escort took over the marshal's military cap and ran back to report.

The bowed commander stretched out his hands straight and didn't dare to put them down. His waist was so painful that it was about to crack, and cold sweat came out on his head.

After a while, the commander saw the wheels of a carriage parked in front of him. Everyone laughed loudly when they heard a voice: "Everyone is free. Where is my little general?"

A silence.

"Hmm?" The voice became majestic.

The sergeant suppressed his fear, lowered his head and took a step forward, and shouted in panic: "Long live Your Majesty! We are guilty!"

Half an hour later, in the open space in the center of the village, looking at Tao Yineng, who had two blood stains oozing out of the middle of the white cloth wrapped around his face, Ming Wang Zhu Qing was about to touch the boy who was lifted out with the chair, but his fingertips did not dare to touch the wounded cloth in the end. He turned to look at the kneeling person at his feet, his tone of shock, anger, and heartache changed, and he shouted sternly:

"Your child is a gift from God! How can you bear to treat him like this? My eldest prince is still in Haisong. I can't even touch him, but you...you are the devil!"

Tao's father was kneeling on the ground. He had no haircut and his hair was disheveled. The face exposed in his hair had tears, blood, and was beaten red and swollen, but his eyes were very determined. He raised his head and looked at the man who seemed to be covering the sky. He stretched out his hand and his palms were facing up, as if begging. He shouted loudly: "Your Majesty! My son is weak and cannot enter the military! I really have no choice!"

Originally, Tao's father thought about doing everything and doing it all the time, and then asked the village manager to cover up the truth about the matter for him.

However, their place is of military garrison, and its power tentacles are inserted to the smallest unit "Wu". What Tao Yi can receive is the marshal's military cap. No one dares to cover up this matter for him; and his injuries are not too late to be cured. What if he is tested?

Several sergeant chiefs in charge and village chiefs came to the fore and reported the truth, and even presented the genealogy of Tao's father hiding on the back of the cross painting.

Looking through the cross paintings and the carefully written family tree behind, Zhu Qingzheng's face turned pale.

"If you don't believe in Jesus, why bother to come to me?" he asked coldly.

"Your Majesty, please spare your life! I am ignorant and ignorant. I just came to the Kingdom of God and didn't understand reason for a while. I'll give me a life. What's more, the Bible also emphasizes loyalty and filial piety. The genealogy of human ancestors recorded in the Old Testament is not contrary to the teachings of Confucius. I can write a genealogy after the cross as a memory." Tao Father raised his head and argued.

"You are still preaching to me about the righteousness of your Confucian heaven and earth?" Zhu Qingzheng laughed furiously and threw the genealogy to the ground with extreme contempt.

The Ming King waved his hand and the soldiers carried Tao Yi away like a flying one.

The dark crowd standing opposite Zhu Qingzheng surged with a kind of uneasy ripples. They all felt the danger coming in an intuition, just like a herd of cattle on the grassland smelling the furious lion.

After a sad last glance at Tao Yineng's back, Zhu Qingzheng turned around and pointed at Tao's father and said sternly:

"Tao criminal! Obstructs military service! Destroys the bodies of the reserve officers and soldiers of the Empire! The methods are extremely cruel! Desecrate our sacred faith! Promote heresy! The sins are unforgivable! Behead them on the spot!"

Before he finished speaking, Fu Renyong, who was standing in the crowd, hugging his father's waist tightly, saw a group of soldiers pushing Tao's father to the ground, tied up in various ways; on the other side, two Ming soldiers carried the village guillotine like wind.

"Your Majesty, I can die! Please give me a way out for my blind son to be unsupported! Kill me one is to kill my father and son!" Tao's father's face was pressed into the mud, but at this critical moment of life and death or the dynasty of the family line, he personally must support his blind son. This is part of his plan. He shouted wildly, and the soil under his head was roared into a fog.

But Zhu Qingzheng, who was holding a saber in his hand, looked at him coldly and said calmly: "With you, your son's fate will be extremely miserable. It seems that we have abandoned him. But the law must be respected to protect more young people from being harmed like him, so that more heroes of ambition stand out and be famous in history for the glory of God, rather than being inexplicably disabled and living like a pig. This is greater kindness."

After saying this, he glanced at Tao's father in disgust, turned his head to the side, and said, "I guess you don't have to pray and repent before your death. Execute the execution! Immediately!"

Fu Renyong didn't understand what was going on, but he felt his father's waist tremble violently, like a dead tree in the cold wind. He raised his face and saw his father's chin trembling violently;

He turned his head in confusion and saw the soldiers throwing the guillotine like a big-tied Tao father pig into the lifted guillotine. Another soldier grabbed his hair in front of the guillotine and pulled it forward. Taking advantage of the moment when his neck was stuck under the knife, the executioner combined his hands and used his strength to force the knife down and pressed the knife down.

With a "click", the guillotine and scissors merged into the dragon, cutting off Tao's last roar in the wind, and blood splashed out from the gap in the guillotine. The soldier who pulled his hair was like a rope broke during tug of war. He staggered back several steps before he panicked the black watermelon-like thing that rushed into his arms to the ground, and raised the back of his hand to wipe the bloody idea that was splashed on his face.

"What's wrong?" After a click, before he understood what was going on, Fu Renyong suddenly felt that he had become taller. He was walking straight towards the sky like a bamboo shoot after the rain, and then he grew into the tallest bamboo in the bamboo forest, with sunshine and wind blowing over.

He turned his head and looked around and found himself standing alone on the ground, facing the guillotine and the Ming King in front of him.

After lowering his head, he realized that it was not that he had become taller or that he had become alone, but that hundreds of villagers knelt on the ground for a few seconds after beheading Tao’s father.

Now he was surrounded by a black sea of ​​wriggling flesh, with countless backs of his head and backs, all trembling violently, just like the scene of densely packed crabs on the beach trying to get into the sand but unable to get into it. He also made a sound like a sea breeze. It took a long time before Fu Renyong realized that it was the sound of hundreds of people knocking at the same time.

"Why are you kneeling down?" Fu Renyong, who was standing alone, listened to the sound coming from behind, and turned his head to look in confusion.

King Ming was looking at this side, and he asked sternly: "Why are you kneeling? Can you escape the justice of God by kneeling? Can you get rid of the ruthless sky net of the national law by kneeling? Can you kneel by kneeling avoid the condemnation of your kindness watching a person fall into hell? Besides, there is an innocent child who is the victim!"

Responding to the Ming King was Fu Renyong's confused eyes and the trembling and crying sounds of the crowd beneath him.

"Who is the sergeant of the Tao family?" Ming Wang scolded the villagers and turned around and asked.

"Your Majesty. I am. These few of us are newly established. They are all foreign refugees who gathered. The time is short, and I have not discovered that the Tao family... My sin is unforgivable." The chief of soldiers gritted his teeth and stood in the open space. Not far from his feet was Tao's head.

"You have neglected your duties! You have let your brothers live their faith and did not do a good job in missionary work. You should have been their father, brother and teacher, but you did not do it. Given that the consequences you caused are so serious, according to the law of co-sitting, you will be executed by shooting." Ming Wang said lightly.

"Thank you for giving me the whole body! Before being punished, I asked for my last prayer!" The sergeant stood at attention and saluted him. Suddenly, he seemed to be no longer afraid, his body stopped shaking, and he seemed to be back to the domineering and fearlessness he had followed the Ming King to fight to Tianjing.

"Very good! Allow!" The Ming King waved his hand and the commander was taken away. Under the hostage of two soldiers, he sighed long, then turned his head and shouted to the kneeling crowd: "Fuck! Love God and loyal to the emperor! Glory God and benefit others! Perform your duties conscientiously! Work hard! Your Majesty will not treat you badly! God bless you! I am waiting for you in heaven!"

After a while, the sergeant's shout came from the west of the village: "God blesses the Ming Dynasty! Long live Your Majesty! Long live! Long live..."

A muffled sound of "bang" echoed, dispelling the shout.

===

The sentence did not end after the execution of the prisoner and the dereliction of duty.

A man who looked like an official held the list of the whole village and shouted: "According to the law, you are all guilty except for criminals who are so crazy in Prison Tao. Your Majesty decided to execute the eleventh killing order on you. The scope is the ten neighbors nearest neighbors around the Tao family. I will read the list. If you read it, please come out and stand in a row. Due to Your Majesty's grace, father and son can replace each other. The first household: Li Laoshan..."

At this time, Fu Renyong felt that the clouds were foggy. It turned out that he was being held in his arms by his father, and his father finally stood up.

"Dad." He hasn't been hugged for a long time, because Fu Renyong has grown big enough, and he wants to hug his father's neck, but his father's appearance scares him to froze in his father's arms.

His tears rolled down his cheeks, his muscles trembled as if they were boiling, but his eyes were staring at him without moving.

Fu Renyong felt that his father was afraid of being separated from him and was so scared that he was so scared that he recited his father's name several times, but his father didn't move like this.

Finally, the tears of the father hugged himself and stepped out of the crowd, standing in a row with the neighbors who were crying.

At this time, Fu Renyong saw the familiar beans.

They were nine mung beans and one red bean, the size was similar. They were held in the hands of the official and announced in front of them, asking one by one: "Brother, do you see if there is any problem?"

Everyone standing out in the row was trembling violently and burst into tears, but when faced with the ten beans, everyone dared not let go of them at will. Everyone stretched out their fingers to fiddle with the beans one by one to see if there were any flaws.

Watching his father checking Douzi's expression, he was like a dying person who was swallowed by a tiger and kept bleeding, fiddling with tiger teeth to see if he could go out.

He even put Fu Renyong down and asked him to see if there was anything abnormal about Douzi.

The official also squatted down patiently to let the man's son see the beans clearly, and even smiled. Fu Renyong looked at the things in the official's palm and did not dare to touch them. He shook his head timidly. For the first time, he was a little afraid of the beans, and they would bite people?

After the inspection, the officer threw 10 beans into a Western tin can box and shook them, asking them to pick up a bean from it with their fingers in order.

Seeing the people in front of him take out the beans in turn, and every time they do it, the official would shout "red beans" or "mung beans" and ask others to check it. Then he threw the bean into the iron can and poured it out for the next person to check it.

"Dad, what's going on?" Fu Renyong asked, holding his father's hand.

His father squatted down and kissed him hard, and said with a sob: "Son, the one who pulled out the red beans kept sucking until the only one who drew the red beans in the last round! That is to be taken away by God!"

In the first round, three people drew red beans and seven people drew mung beans.

The one who had drawn the mung beans was let go, and they screamed and jumped into the crowd, hugging their loved ones warmly.

Fu Renyong's father drew out the red beans and entered the second round.

In the second round, Fu Renyong's father was unlucky and drew Hongdou again, but both of them, including him, drew Hongdou.

In the third round, looking at the tin can shaking in front of his eyes, his father's hands were trembling, and sweat dripped from his head. Then he turned his head to look at his neighbor Lao Zheng, who was also trembling, and asked in a trembling voice: "Old Zheng, my son and I depend on each other for life. If God wants to accept me, my son will entrust you, okay?"

The extremely nervous Lao Zheng was frightened by the voice beside him. When he understood what the old neighbor was saying, he immediately shouted: "No problem! Christians don't say anything false: I will accept him as a son and marry my eldest daughter to him! But if God accepts me, I will ask you to help my eldest son with farm work in my family, and the other two boys are still young..."

The two of them entrusted each other with funerals and then they started to smoke beans.

Fu Renyong's father finally drew mung beans. After the show, he shook his body and knelt at Fu Renyong's feet, and he was about to collapse.

But it is still not over. If Lao Zheng was also a mung bean, this life-and-death sign would have to be another round.

Keep smoking, never stop until death!

Lao Zheng was not that lucky, he drew out the red beans.

Seeing the color of beans in Lao Zheng's hand, the two big men wailed in unison, collapsed on the ground, twitched, foamed at the same time, and fainted at the same time.

One was because he survived, and the other was because he was about to die. Fu Renyong next to him didn't cry, and he was shit and peeing.

Within one day, three people were killed because of cruel means of resisting military service: Tao's father was slaughtered into two sections, the sergeant was executed by gunfire, and his neighbor Lao Zheng was killed by eleven and was hanged.

A few days later, Tao Yineng also died and his wound was infected.

From then on, several newly established corps (village) have always been a glorious village that joins the army and supports the army. Even because of the extra quota of one year, the father of the sergeant was unshirkable. The Fu family and his son all joined the army and fought for the Ming Dynasty, sprinkling blood on the battlefield.

But since the day of the 11th kill, the Fu family has never eaten beans. (To be continued...)
