"Oh, why?"
"Don't tell me nonsense like criminal code regulations. I know my rights as the warden in this Black Prison."
Ghost Fox thought about it for a while, and now that he has decided to follow, there is no need to be secretive anymore.
So, he gritted his teeth and said, "Your Highness, let me tell you straight, it's not that your subordinates are trying to stop you, it's just that the rules set by Black Prison have always been like this."
"These Soul Masters and nobles selected by His Highness are all favored, so they have such a verdict. If they turn against each other like this, it will affect their reputation and may cut off their financial resources in the future. This will be very troublesome for Black Prison."
"If His Highness wants to kill him, this Tang Xiaogang can vent his anger. At the same time, ordinary civilians can also choose it as an object for beheading and execution. Only these nobles and Soul Master are the source of Black Prison's economic transportation. They cannot be cut off at will!"
After Xu Huxiao listened, he did not make a tough decision, but asked:
"Ghost Fox Supervisor, in addition to these effects, will arbitrary judgments and executions similar to mine have other effects on you?"
Ghost Fox said truthfully, "That's not possible, because now the new criminal code is only a trial implementation, many things can be explained, and beheadings are not public, so the problem is not big, oh, there is one more thing."
When saying this, Ghost Fox paused, a little embarrassed.
"Well, this warden is a fat guy, and there are many people within Punishment Warrior who covet him. If these Soul Master nobles are killed, the controversy and conflicts caused will be too loud, and our position as warden may also be replaced."
"So, I hope His Highness will think twice and give up the idea of execution."
"Otherwise, it will cause a lot of trouble."
Ghost Fox spoke sincerely, and he felt that Xu Huxiao's actions would be harmful and useless, and would not benefit him at all.
After asking, Xu Huxiao smiled and had no intention of changing his mind at all.
Kill civilians?
No, he only kills those who deserve to be killed!
"Trouble? It seems like trouble to you, but if you think about it from another angle, you will find that this is not a trouble, but an opportunity."
"I don't know if Supervisor Ghost Fox has heard this sentence. The bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish."
Ghost Fox looked puzzled. Hearing what Xu Huxiao said, he seemed to have grasped some signs of inspiration, but he didn't expect it.
"Your Highness, what do you mean?"
Xu Huxiao pointed at the crossed names among Soul Master and the nobles, and said, "These prisoners I want to execute are the fish in Black Prison. Kill some and keep some so that the families and forces behind them know who is the master and who is the dog. In this way, the remaining part and those who come later will be given more."
"Understood?"
"Moreover, this can also establish Black Prison's prestige. It is a multi-purpose thing."
After listening to Xu Huxiao's explanation, Ghost Fox's thoughts started to change rapidly, and then his eyes became brighter and brighter.
"Wonderful! Things are rare and valuable. Indeed, in the past few years, all the soul masters and nobles who have entered the Black Prison have paid less and less attention to me, Black Prison, because they have paid the 'ransom'."
"His Highness's move has indeed solved many problems at once, and as His Highness said, the benefits from prison will not decrease, but will increase further.
"If we just eliminate some of the Soul Master nobles, it might be a bit disadvantageous for our supervisor..."
Ghost Fox looked at Xu Huxiao and expressed his concerns, but there was not much worry in his eyes because he already understood what kind of person he was following unilaterally.
This His Highness Xu must have thought of a solution.
Xu Huxiao did not disappoint Ghost Fox. He said calmly, "Ghost Fox Supervisor, if I ensure that your position will not change, do you still have worries?"
Hearing this, Ghost Fox smiled, and the smile on his face became bigger and bigger.
This is what he has in mind. With Xu Huxiao's promise, he naturally does not worry about executing some Soul Master nobles, and others in the Punishment Warrior organization will take advantage of the situation and take his place.
Because their Punishment Warrior organization is under the jurisdiction of Ghost Elder, and Ghost Elder has always been on good terms with elder Demon Bear. This His Highness Xu is not only the favorite only son of elder Demon Bear, but also the most valued disciple of His Holiness the Pope. The weight of his words of commitment is enough to dispel any doubts.
The more critical premise is that from the contact with Ghost Fox in the morning, he already knows that His Highness Xu is a smart person and will never make mistakes without aim.
And Ghost Fox trusts smart people.
"His Highness's words are enough. Ghost Fox will obey His Highness's orders!"
"Very good, then go and bring out the prisoner I have sentenced to beheaded."
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Oh, by the way, also, the sentences I crossed out from this part of the civilian files will be waived for these prisoners after they complete their sentences."
"Yes, I will obey your orders."
"Your Highness, the beheading platform is on the second floor of Lava Purgatory. During the execution, all prisoners on the second floor will be present. At the same time, my second brother Ghost Rat will also use Soul Skill to record the beheading scene to warn all prisoners."
"Okay, let's go."
Xu Huxiao glanced at Hu Liena and said, "Nana, are you going with me or waiting here?"
"If you wait here, if you have anything you need or any books you want to read, you can ask Ghost-Masked Warriors here to pick them up."
Ghost Fox also said, "Yes, Your Highness Hu Liena, I have already given all Ghost-Masked Warriors instructions to Black Prison. As long as it is your request, Your Highness, Ghost-Masked Warriors will try our best to do it for you."
Unexpectedly, Hu Liena said extremely firmly, "Brother, I want to go with you."
Public beheading?!
It's better for senior brother to do it himself!
Hu Liena felt that her senior brother was a bit strange for the first time. This was the first time she saw this side of her senior brother. He spoke so lightly in the face of beheading.
She has always been infected by Xu Huxiao's strength and confidence, but now the senior brother she admires seems to be gradually showing all of him.
Hu Liena If she wants to know everything about him, she must keep up with him if she wants to fight side by side with her senior brother.
Therefore, she must go to this execution.
"Okay, let's go together."
Xu Huxiao was a little surprised, but not surprised, because he knew that this girl had been growing up in her own way.
······
Black Prison Second basement floor, Lava Purgatory.
There is an underground vein of magma and fire here, which results in unbearable high temperatures for many years. Coupled with the ubiquitous invasion of withering and death, just being imprisoned here can cause prisoners to experience endless pain.
The same structure as the first floor, the center here is the interrogation hall, and each prison corridor starts from the interrogation hall and gradually extends outward in a spiral shape.
The execution platform is in the middle of the spiral corridor. When Xu Huxiao and the others arrived, all the prisoners on the second floor gathered in the execution platform square.
The six Soul Master nobles who were about to be executed were on the execution platform. Their bodies were kneeling down and were bound by iron chains to the shorter iron pillar behind them. Their necks and heads were completely exposed. The lower end of the iron pillar was cast on the execution platform and could not be moved.
At this time, the six prisoners who were about to be beheaded were struggling, but their mouths were sealed and their bodies were bound. Moreover, due to long-term consumption of Snot Jelly, their Martial Soul was also sealed. In addition, the six prisoners' cultivation levels were below Soul Elder. They were tied up with fine iron chains. At this time, they were already lambs waiting to be slaughtered. No matter what kind of struggle they made, it was in vain.
What awaits them is beheading!
Under the execution platform, all the prisoners were still a little confused about the situation before them, because the six people on the platform were all small and powerful people. Although the crimes were serious, they were not sentenced to beheading when they entered the prison, but were only sentenced to a short period of detention.
Why is beheading suddenly happening now?!
The prisoners in the audience were guarded by Ghost-Masked Warriors. Although they were puzzled, they could only whisper.
"Why on earth is this? Why is Brother Bai Mu on the execution platform? Hasn't Bai Family already paid the 'ransom'?"
"Humph, I guess I paid too little. Unlike us Tang Family and Gold Soul Coin, even if I, Tang Wu, come in a few more times, it will still be fine. Tsk tsk, wait for me to go out. This time I will find a mother and daughter to play with."
"Hehe, fifth brother, bring your little brother with you. I know there are several cities and villages that have 'extreme treasures'."
"Okay, I've also developed new 'torture tools' for these civilian slaves to ensure they're enjoyable."
···
This is the discussion among the aristocratic Soul Master circle. Some of them are fearful, some are arrogant, some are excited, and most of them are looking forward to even more indulgence after the imprisonment is over.
Unfortunately, they don't know that they have no chance.
Xu Huxiao has five senses. When he passed by the corridor, he had already written down the names of all the people he heard. These scum will be the next batch of lucky ones to go to the execution platform.
The civilian prisoners in the audience didn't say much. Their eyes were just numb from being tortured. But when they looked at the people on the stage who were about to be executed, there was still a sense of anticipation of revenge deep in their eyes, which was a kind of hatred like wildfire.
These people should be killed!!
But will he really be executed directly? Or is it just a farce?
Because the people here are all Soul Master and nobles!
Ta, ta, ta······
Accompanied by the sound of neither light nor heavy footsteps, an executioner carrying Ox-Head Ghost Mask walked onto the execution platform carrying a Blood Red colored sword.
The executioner this time was different from the executioners that the prisoners usually saw. His body was not very tall and strong, just a medium-sized adult. The Ox-Head Ghost Mask and Blood Red swords on his head were also the first time the prisoners had seen him.
Ox-Head Ghost Mask is a complex deep red color, and the sword is Blood Red color with scarlet brilliance.
All the prisoners, including Ghost-Masked Warriors, focused their attention on this somewhat unusual executioner.
It's about to begin.
In the somewhat dim execution hall, Black Gold Xuanshang, Ox-Head Ghost Mask, Blood Red Da Dao, this somewhat different executioner held the knife in one hand and pulled out the execution documents inserted into the back of the prisoner's head with the other hand, and then read in a clear voice:
"Prisoner Bai Mu, crime: torture and murder of a pair of twin sisters, cruel method, and audacity to openly display his 'achievements', which has a bad influence, and is sentenced to beheading."
"Bai Mu, is there anything else you want to say before you die?"
This special executioner is naturally Xu Huxiao. The Blood Red sword in his hand is not the execution knife of Black Prison, but the Soul Tool Bloodshadow Dagger that he bought Dagger before.
[Item]: Bloodshadow Dagger
[Effect]: 1. To enable recognition, you need to absorb Soul Beast blood of seven Earth Dragon bloodlines to activate; 2. Switching, after injecting Soul Power, the user can switch between Bloodshadow Broadsword and Bloodshadow Dagger; 3. Bloodthirsty, Bloodshadow Dagger can repair itself and upgrade by absorbing high-energy blood.
These Dagger and Xu Huxiao have been recognized as owners by using the Soul Beast blood collected by Luo Ming. Now you can use switching and bloodlust.
Xu Huxiao uses it to switch to Bloodshadow Broadsword form to execute executions, just to see its bloodthirsty effect.
According to common sense, when Soul Master awakens Martial Soul and refines Soul Power, its blood should be regarded as the high-energy blood mentioned in [Effect].
Bloodshadow Broadsword should be able to be improved after absorption.
After Xu Huxiao read out the verdict and asked the executioner his routine words, he pulled out a ball of white cloth that was tightly packed in the mouth of the first prisoner Bai Mu.
Can you speak?
Bai Mu was overjoyed. He had not had a chance to speak since he was taken out of prison, and was dragged onto the execution platform.
But his previous sentence was not to be beheaded, and they Bai Family had already given him a sufficient ransom when he went to prison, saying that he would be allowed to leave in Black Prison for three months in peace.
Now I didn't expect to make such a mistake and drag him Bai Mu to the execution platform. I must ask the warden here to give an explanation later!
So, Bai Mu shouted, "Superintendent, you are mistaken. I killed civilians. The sentence is only detention, not beheading. Let me go quickly..."
A streak of blood Shadow Flash passed by, Bai Mu the last word "go down" could not be uttered, but rolled down the execution platform with his head.
