Henan, the hinterland of Kyushu and the thoroughfare of ten provinces.

In the middle of May, the rain was falling.

On this day, the people on the side of the Yellow River in Kaifeng Mansion were boiling, and countless people gathered inside and outside Wuwuyang.

Today, the south bank of the Yellow River has been set up as an execution ground, and hundreds of officials in Henan Province are to be executed.

"Hurry up!"

Under the gaze of Dongchang Fanzi, the officials who were usually high and invincible were rushed to the execution ground at this time, wearing brand-new prison clothes, and their eyes were full of fear.

On the official road not far from the riverbank, some hawkers with carts and burdens took the opportunity to set up stalls, hoping to make a few more living dollars in this opportunity for thousands of people to gather.

Several out-of-town merchants passed by, their faces full of doubt.

Immediately, the uncle who sold stinky tofu took the initiative to greet them, explain their doubts, introduce the crimes of these officials, and promote their own products by the way.

"You don't know, how rich these criminal officials are, and the ones in that house are all real money, and they were carried out by Jinyiwei box by box!"

"Isn't it, what celebrities, calligraphy and paintings, porcelain and antiques can't name those treasures that can't be named!"

A young man sighed: "I really don't understand, some officials came to office empty-handed, and after less than two years of work, so much gold and silver was copied out of their homes, how did they do it?" ”

The uncle beside him shook his fan and said: "Young people don't understand, in many industries, it is still the most profitable to be an official!" ”

The young man thought about it carefully, and it was really, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the uncle is still the uncle, amazing!

Suddenly, there was a bang in the crowd, "Look, Lord Qincha is here!" ”

The people gathered on the banks of the river immediately stretched their necks to see what the legendary Feng Qingtian looked like.

But seeing that everyone was surrounded by people, Feng Ying, who had white hair on his temples and white hair, came to the riverbank execution ground in a red official robe with a solemn face, and the city defense army that maintained law and order stopped the eyes of the people who were following all the way.

Feng Ying glanced at the fallen officials who were heavily locked and kneeling on the ground, and sighed.

This is the biggest case he has handled in the past few decades as an official, and it should be recorded in history in the future.....

As soon as the "Jing case" ended, a "road introduction case" came out, and God knows whether the Tianwu Dynasty would surpass the four major Hongwu cases at the time of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Some of the death row prisoners wept bitterly, swore remorse, and some of them were Jinshi of the first imperial examination of the Tianwu Dynasty, and some of them were parachuted directly from Guozijian and passed the assessment to continue to stay in office.

Thinking about how high-spirited he was when he was released as an official, he was ready to show his strength under the leadership of the new emperor.

However, they fell into the big dye vat of officialdom, and soon succumbed to the obscenity of Shangguan, unable to resist the temptation of money, and fell deeper and deeper into the luck mentality......

In fact, Feng Ying's heart has always been entangled, thinking about whether it is right or wrong to kill these officials.

It is said that Emperor Taizu hated corrupt officials the most, and he peeled off the skin and hung the grass outside the government office for sixty taels of silver, deterring lawlessness.

Such a heavy punishment and cruel law cannot put an end to corruption, can a large-scale slaughter of officials like Emperor Tianwu really clarify the filthy Ming officialdom?

Feng Ying understands that she can't!

But Emperor Tianwu also said bluntly in Fengtian Temple: "I don't expect to put an end to corrupt officials and mediocre ministers, as long as I have been in power, the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty can be cleaner, and the officials have made a difference, so I am satisfied." ”

Feng Ying had hesitated and wavered about this harsh law, but in the end, he relented and made a clear statement.

He also saw that it was better to fear the law than to despise the law, and that there would be no immortals in the New Deal!

The cries of the death row inmates brought Feng Ying, who had lost his mind for a while, back to reality, he looked at the sun in the sky and said in a deep voice: "Prepare for execution!" ”

Today, the execution ground was set up by the Yellow River, and the surrounding people were summoned to watch the execution, which was to deter officialdom.

The urging cannon rumbled, and the last horn sounded, Feng Ying immediately ordered with a black face to drag all the death row prisoners to the execution ground!

The officials who were tied up like zongzi had long been frightened and paralyzed.

One of the criminal officers struggled desperately to the death, crying incessantly, and was forcibly dragged to a wooden stake and tied up by the brocade guards.

The executioner next to him held a ghost-headed broadsword, drank a bowl of wine, and sprayed it extremely professionally, wetting the criminal's brand-new prison uniform.

The ghost-headed broadsword shone with a cold luster, and there was already a stench underneath the criminals......

The executioners were extremely professional, and they endured the unpleasant smell like the peeling of oranges, stripped the clothes of the criminals tied to the stakes, and piled them up on the riverbank like a bulging hill.

This means that life comes and goes, what is professionalism? It's called professionalism!

An executioner is not something that can be done with a knife casually, nor is it a stab at the neck of a prisoner and everything will be fine.

Executioners are a very difficult technical job, they have undergone professional training before entering the industry, the master teaches one-on-one, and they also have to practice knife work, and they have to chop 800 winter melons every day to rest.

And there is an unknown secret in the executioner industry: an executioner can only cut off ninety-nine heads in his life, and one more is fine, otherwise it will happen ominously in his old age......

Before they died, the pampered officials and lords of the past let out a high-pitched cry, occasionally mixed with a few unwilling curses.

Their white bodies were exposed to the eyes of thousands of people, and most of the people gloated and applauded loudly.

For some reason, the louder these fallen officials and gentlemen cried, the more excited the onlookers felt.

As soon as three o'clock in the afternoon arrived, the drums suddenly beat, and Feng Ying gave an order: "Chop!" ”

The ghost-headed broadsword in the hands of the executioners was raised high, as if it had been rehearsed, and the posture was praised!

A flash of knife light, the cold and sharp blade cut through the good skin of the criminal officer, tore the scarlet muscle in the neck, and cut it in two.

The strong smell of blood came to the face, and corpses were neatly arranged by the Yellow River.

The stenching heads tumbled to the ground, and some of their eyes blinked a few times unwillingly.

Professional executioners know that there is still a period of consciousness after death, and this kind of beheaded can only blink an eye.

The drumming stopped suddenly, and the onlookers immediately erupted into earth-shattering cheers after a moment of nervous excitement, and they vented their inner resentment.

Blood splattered everywhere on the execution ground, forming a bubbling stream of blood that flowed into the Yellow River.

Although the blood of dozens of heads on the ground did not stain the water of the Yellow River, it was enough to deter the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty.

On the execution platform, the face of Liu Tongsheng, the governor of Henan, was ugly, and the new officials who watched the execution with him were also sad one by one, revealing the sadness of the dead rabbit and the fox.

These are their predecessors, and the holy decree made them come to watch the execution, and there is no lack of meaning to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys......

The most important thing in Daming is to be an official, after killing a batch, Zhu Cihong immediately pulled out a batch from the reserve team to make up for it, and the inventory is so sufficient!

The cheers of the people were in stark contrast to the solemnity of these, and the cheers were like thunder and could not be stopped for a long time.

After all, many people have never seen such a large-scale public execution in their lives, and they can blow a wave wherever they chat.

The "Lu Yin Case" came to an end, and the beautiful talk of Emperor Tianwu personally trying the case for the people was widely circulated among the people, and the honorific title of "saint" was deeply engraved in the minds of the people, and the new policy in the Central Plains region entered a high-speed development track.
