Chapter ninety-three, choice
The sky was very blue, and white clouds slowly floated across the treetops, but a crow with black feathers made an ugly cry and fell on a crossbar.
"May the Lord forgive your soul!" The court priest stood in front of the captives of the Flagless Brotherhood. The poor man was wearing a linen rope as thick as a thumb on his neck, his hands tied behind him, and he stepped on an empty wooden barrel under his feet.
"Woo woo woo woo woo." A sad expression appeared on the captive's face, and the crow above his head whistled, as if asking why the meal had not started yet.
"Do you have any last words at the end of your life?" the court priest raised the cross in his hand and asked the prisoner.
"I, I..." The captive was just a farmer from a remote countryside. He originally thought that an adventure could help him get rid of poverty, but he did not expect that the final outcome would be a gallows.
"It seems that he has nothing to say." The court priest shook his head, and the executioner who was executing the execution came forward and placed his feet on the empty wooden barrel.
"I~~." The captive wanted to say something, but when the hollow barrel was kicked over by the executioner, his foot stepped on the air, and the linen rope immediately tightened his neck, and the weight of his body pulled and broke the joints of his neck.
"Click~~." A crisp sound passed, and the captive's feet in the air kicked hard for a few times, then remained motionless, swinging along the rope like a rag doll.
"Oh~~." Everyone onlookers in the castle exclaimed. There was no entertainment program more exciting than watching a person's life end, and there were four or five such programs next.
"God, God save me." The prisoners of the Flagless Brotherhood kneeling under the gallows were all pale, watching their companions being hanged and their bodies hung on a crossbar. This fear was understood only by those who experienced it personally. When the court priest looked down, a prisoner was pushed up and he shouted, but the onlookers not only did not sympathize, but laughed.
Mrs. Agnes looked out the window with a serious expression. Just facing her window, Rudolph was actually hanging the prisoner. This was a naked provocation and a warning. Looking at the hanging corpse, Mrs. Agnes couldn't help but clench her fists.
"I, let's leave here quickly! Isn't there any secret passage?" But Katrisy was completely scared. He grabbed Mrs. Agnes's sleeve and begged to his mother.
"Even if you want to leave now, you can't leave." Mrs. Agnes smiled bitterly and looked at the direction of the door. Since sending the letter, Rudolph replaced the guards with those in his own legion. Mrs. Agnes and Katrisi could not get rid of the guards at all.
"Oh oh oh ~~." Another prisoner was hanged, and people's joy and excitement sounded in the square.
"Okay, that's all for today and continue tomorrow." Rudolph, who watched with Maxiu, Rodney, Lanbert and others, stopped his execution after hanging three prisoners. He asked the soldiers to take the other prisoners into the dungeon.
"Sir Rudolph, they should be much more honest!" Rodney and others also knew very well that Rudolph wanted to give Mrs. Agnes a color.
"Honestly, they certainly won't." Rudolph was not so optimistic. He knew how power would be addictive, but now he could only try to keep an eye on them.
"Please rest assured, I have installed my eyeliner. If there is any movement, their actions will not escape my eyes." Ma Xiu said immediately.
Jenny watched the prisoners being taken back to the dungeon. Although there was no Benson among the group, her heart almost reached her throat. Her only brother might die on the gallows. This idea made her restless.
"I'll go and bring some food to the prisoners." Jenny thought of this and quickly asked for a basket from the chef, brought some food to the dungeon.
"Forget it, they will die sooner or later, why waste food?" The cook's voice came from behind, but Jenny walked towards the dungeon very quickly.
Stepping on the mossy stone steps of the dungeon, Jenny entered the dungeon. The dim environment and the oncoming stench almost made people think that this was part of hell.
"Jenny, they will hang me soon. You have to act quickly. I don't want to die yet." Benson held the iron railing, and he looked at his sister with his one-eye and begged to her.
Strangely, Benson is not a timid person on the battlefield, but what is more terrible than death is waiting for death. On the battlefield, it may take a person's life with one sword and one stone, but you always have a lucky mentality, thinking that you are someone favored by God and there will be no trouble at all until death comes.
But while waiting for the noose to put its neck around, the helplessness and despair that chews on human hearts is even more terrifying than death itself.
"I'd better ask Lord Rudolph, I think he will forgive you." Jenny said in a crying voice, making her set fire was a little embarrassed.
"No, I am Anthony's right-hand man. Many people know me. If the nobles know, they will definitely be the first to hang me. Jenny will do as I say, and do as I say." He was imprisoned in a dungeon and lived like a year. Benson's spirit was almost crazy.
"But." Jenny said worriedly.
"You bitch, an ungrateful bastard woman, I curse your soul. I will turn into a devil of hell to grab your soul, do what I say, do what I say, or I will never let you go." Suddenly, Benson screamed and cursed his sister madly, and his voice even attracted the attention of the prison guards.
"I, I." Jenny looked at the crazy brother, and she didn't know him. This was not her brother, but an evil ghost from hell.
Jenny hardly knew how she was in the dungeon immediately. She stumbled and fell, her face very pale and helpless, but at this moment she felt like she was hitting her head against a strong chest.
"Jenny?" Rudolph looked at the girl who bumped into his arms. Unexpectedly, it was Jenny, so he said.
"Mr. Rudolph, oh no, Lord Regent." Seeing Rudolph suddenly, Jenny's heart seemed to be grabbed by something. She felt dizzy and fell down to the ground with her feet weak, but at this moment, a strong arm hugged her.
"Jenny, Jenny." Rudolph's voice seemed to be above the clouds, sometimes close and sometimes far away. Jenny felt that she knew nothing when she saw the darkness.
