Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Vegetable Market Mouth Supervisor Beheaded the Five Righteous Soldiers
At noon, in the early summer season of April, the scorching sun shone on the murderous execution ground. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Wang Zhizheng and Kou Shen, the prefect of Suzhou, sat side by side on the prison platform, beads of sweat oozing from their foreheads. Kou Shen is different from Mao Yilu, he has always sympathized with the people of the Suzhou civil rebellion. But he is neither a eunuch nor a Donglin party, so he draws a line with both sides, and neither side is offended. So from beginning to end, except for the time when he appeared in prison, he did not appear at any other time.
Mao Yilu said that he couldn't come from illness, first, he didn't want to dye the blood of the Donglin Party members, hoping that if the eunuch party collapsed in the future, he would not be implicated too badly. Second, he felt that the people would definitely protest today, if the protesters were suppressed by the hungry wolf-like Wang Zhizheng, there would inevitably be no more civil uprisings, and he would not participate, even if there was a civil uprising, it would be Wang Zhizheng's responsibility, and he would not be held accountable if he was held accountable.
Wang Zhizheng guessed Mao Yilu's thoughts, and he said to Kou Shen: "This Mao Yilu is really an old fox! If he doesn't come today, it can be seen that he thinks he can't come today! Why doesn't Lord Kou have any worries about this?" Kou Shen Gege smiled: "Execute the traitor, with Lord Wang here, the old man is not worried." Wang Zhizheng thought to himself: It turns out that he came to see the joke, hehe, this Kou Shen is actually an old fritter, so much so that I thought he was a minister.
The five of them were tied to the torture table and knelt, and the executioners were bored and squatted on the ground chatting with each other.
At this time, the people in the audience gathered more and more, and some people shouted: "Five righteous people, you go well! The people of Suzhou will remember you!" The five righteous people looked up to the sky and laughed, and Yan Peiwei laughed loudly: "Thank you! We will live up to your grace, and we will also eradicate the eunuch traitors under Jiuquan!" The people shouted: "Righteous man, go all the way!" "Righteous man, do you have anything to explain?"
At this time, Wang Zhizheng roared angrily: "Shut up! Shouting on the execution ground, believe it or not, this official has arrested you and cut you down!"
The people of Suzhou are very bloody, and they shouted: "Dog officer, why don't you die!"
Dog officer, you catch it!
Kill this dog officer!
After hearing this, Wang Zhizheng said to Kou Zhifu beside him: "I will arrest those who take the lead in making trouble!" Kou Shen hurriedly pleaded: "My lord is angry! My lord is angry! The people of Suzhou are fierce! Don't be like these rebels!"
At this time, the people in the audience began to have a tendency to turmoil. Wang Zhizheng was anxious.
At this time, he suddenly saw Liu Qingqing in the crowd. A man in green shirt beside her, about 30 years old, said loudly: "Please be patient! Please be patient! If you don't exercise restraint, won't the five righteous men die in vain?" You can imagine seeing him
Wang Zhizheng was secretly grateful in his heart. He asked Kou Shen beside him in a low voice: "This person is a reasonable person. Kou Shen said: "This person's name is Zhang Pu, and he is the leader of the Restoration Society. The Donglin Party is in the Jiangnan area, and his prestige is very high. ”
Wang Zhizheng was secretly surprised in his heart: "It turns out that this is Zhang Pu! It seems that tomorrow I will go to Qinglou and go to Liu Qingqing first, and I can directly get in touch with Zhang Pu!"
At this time, Liu Qingqing and a few showmen came to the stage with wine and food to see off the five righteous people. This was permitted by law at the time. Wang Zhizheng and Kou Shen ignored it.
In the blink of an eye, it was three o'clock in the afternoon. Wang Zhizheng reluctantly grabbed the sign and announced loudly: Three o'clock in the afternoon has arrived, and he will be beheaded immediately after verifying his body!
At this time, several old staff members of the governor's mansion walked over to take a look, and then said: "The body has been verified!" Wang Zhizheng shouted: Behead!
His heart was bleeding when he said this! He was completely touched by such a person in the world who is desperate for morality!
I saw the five people shouting loudly: "Wei Zhongxian, Lao Tzu will not spare you when he goes to the Netherworld!"
"Remember to show us the snow!"
Then I saw the sword and axe hand swing down, and the heads of the five righteous men rolled, and the red blood was sprinkled all over the torture platform.
At this time, the Restoration Party members who came to collect the bodies rushed up, some picked up the heads, some carried the bodies, and the bodies of five people were carried down. They are then buried in a coffin prepared in advance.
Wang Zhizheng glanced at Zhou Cheng beside him. Zhou Cheng waved his hand at the torture table. He ordered Zhou Cheng to personally escort the divine consciousness of the five people to the underworld, and personally settled in the underworld, Zhou Cheng's primordial spirit overflowed his body and went to the underworld with the divine consciousness of the five people. Zhou Gong knew that Zhou Chengyuanshen had left, so he stayed by Zhou Cheng's side.
Then I only heard the audience crying and grabbing the ground, the families of the five people, the Restoration Party and the people spontaneously stepped forward to help, at this time Liu Qingqing and Zhang Pu turned around and disappeared into the crowd.
Kou Shen sighed: "The matter is finally over!"
Wang Zhizheng nodded and said, "The matter has passed, I have been in Suzhou for two days, and it is time to return to Beijing to resume my life." ”
Kou Shen complimented: "Lord Wang is resolute, the matter was settled so quickly, and the whole process took five days." It's really admirable!"
Wang Zhizheng laughed: "What is the resolute and resolute action, if it weren't for the advice of Lord Mao and the two of you, I'm afraid I would have to kill today!
Kou Shen also didn't have a good impression of Wang Zhizheng, just snorted, and then said that there was still official business in the house, so he left.
Wang Zhizheng returned to the camp and locked himself in the camp tent, his heart was heavy, he ordered Zhou Cheng to make wine, he put five bowls in the camp tent, and poured another bowl for himself.
He picked up the bowl and said, "Heroes, go all the way! I, Wang Zhizheng, am responsible for Zhaoxue for you, so you can look at it under the Nine Springs!"
Then pour the wine respectfully on the ground.
Then he ordered Zhou Chengyan to be good ink, and he dipped it in thick ink and wrote a note to Wei Zhongxian about what happened. Soshu took almost all the credit on himself. Of course, this is like "Wang Zhizheng"!
Then it got dark.
Suddenly, Zhou Gong opened the curtain and came in, and said with a smile: "Young master, the beautiful woman sent by Mao Yilu has arrived." ”
Wang Zhizheng thought to himself, if Mao Yilu sent a beautiful woman, if he didn't "enjoy", it would not be in line with Wang Zhizheng's style. Alas, laugh at it.
So, I saw two officials from the governor's mansion walking in with a gorgeously dressed and enchanting beauty.
Then Mr. Dong, the clerk of the governor's office, came over and said with a sneer: "This is a beautiful woman sent by an adult, I wonder if it can enter your eyes?"
Wang Zhizheng's eyes narrowed and stared at the beautiful woman, and she lowered her eyes and smiled, not daring to look up directly.
Wang Zhizheng said with a smile: "You go back and tell Lord Mao that such a beautiful woman can't be found all over the Flower Street and Willow Lane in Suzhou City!
Zhou Gong and Zhou Cheng looked at each other and smiled, and a few people from the Governor's Mansion hurriedly avoided going out.
Wang Zhizheng can only fake the show. He and the beautiful woman turned over the clouds and rain in the camp tent, and they had to pretend to be "perverted", otherwise this woman would definitely tell Mao Yilu.
Afterwards, he asked the beautiful woman: "Beauty, where did you find Master Mao?"
The beauty was still pretending to be shy at first, and after a fierce battle, Wang Zhizheng hugged her slender waist, waiting for her to answer, she said coquettishly: "I am a dancer raised in the mansion by Lord Mao, I was in the Qinglou before, and I haven't been out of the house much since I was bought back by Lord Mao." Hehe, are you still satisfied?"
Wang Zhizheng smiled: "Don't say it, this Mao Yilu will really enjoy it!"
In the past, Wang Zhizheng was a pure drunken man, but Wang Zhizheng in the Baijiazi period did not like the sound of dogs and horses, he was a heavenly immortal in his previous life, although he descended to the mortal body into an incarnation, the Yuan Shen was indeed the leader of his actions, he was not very interested in sound and lust, and almost every love affair was in some political or other purpose.
But tonight he really needs to continue to "pretend".
After holding the bewitching little goblin for a few times, he fell asleep. When it was slightly bright the next day, he kicked her ass with his foot, and after waking her up, the beauty rubbed her sleepy eyes: "General, got up so early?" Wang Zhizheng smiled and said: "You little goblin tossed Lao Tzu last night, I have to send you back quickly, and later the sergeants will see a beautiful woman coming out of my tent and spreading it to the nine thousand years old, I am afraid of eating melons! You quickly put on your skirt, and I will let Zhou Cheng send you home!"
The little goblin yawned and cleaned up, Wang Zhizheng shouted to Zhou Cheng: "Hurry up and send this little beauty back to Mao Yilu!" Zhou Cheng rubbed his eyes, and then called the sedan chair man to carry the beauty to Mao Yilu's governor's yamen.
