See Long Zaitian Chapter 167 Break
The investigation of the salt works was not so smooth, many people in the court began to put pressure on Jinyiwei, and the second prince also hurried to make salt leads, and hurriedly filed some relatively large salt works, as long as the filing was successful, Chen Ye had no way to bring them to justice.
How could Chen Ye give them this opportunity and take advantage of this gap period. Chen Ye asked Jinyiwei to interrogate him overnight and go directly to the punishment, and the black and white interrogation was uninterrupted for two days, many people couldn't bear it, and the evidence was conclusive, so many people directly recruited them, detained all these people, and asked to behead them directly in the vegetable market the next day.
In this way, it reduces the time for reaction and does not leave enough time for the second prince.
It is estimated that there will be an accident the next day, and Chen Ye will directly go to the prison the next day. The originally lively vegetable market, with the arrival of Jinyiwei, quickly vacated an open space, the original grandstand has been prepared, followed by rows of prisoner cars, it is very spectacular.
Everyone knows that there is a big event today, many people gather around to watch the beheading, after all, the beheading is not common. Many people like to watch this beheading thing, scolding while watching, and want to see if there are any stories or the like, as idle talk.
These are just a word of indifference to Chen Ye, Chen Ye came with the team of Jinyiwei, and the general beheading is at a certain moment, and the crowd is gathering.
After Chen Ye sat in prison and beheaded the stage, he directly picked up the holy decree and read: "The criminal Shen Ping sells illicit salt, the crime is unforgivable, according to the laws of the imperial court, selling smuggled salt will punish the nine clans" After finishing speaking, he picked up a beheading order and threw it down.
The executioner was ready, and after hearing Chen Ye's order, his hand fell with his knife and fell to the ground. When the other prisoners saw this, they were so frightened that they cried and cried desperately, desperately shouting for help, mercy, and so on. Still couldn't stop it, the execution continued, the executioner was tired, Chen Ye arranged for Jinyiwei to come up, and the onlookers couldn't stand it anymore and vomited one after another. The vegetable market has not been in the market for so long, and there have not been so many heads falling to the ground, and the heads have fallen into baskets one after another.
Many onlookers vomited directly, frightened, and went to the back one after another, and the people behind also shouted and squeezed forward, and the team circled several times, and couldn't move at all.
It's been a long time since so many people have been killed, and how many people are going to be killed, the onlookers are afraid.
A group of horseback figures hurried to the vegetable market, ignoring the vendors on the side of the road. The vendors also dared to be angry when they saw the service and figure on horseback.
The vegetable market was in the process of chopping off the head, only to hear a voice coming out from afar, shouting: "Mercy under the knife, mercy under the knife, mercy under the knife" shouted three times in a row, and the people of Jinyi Wei paused and looked at Chen Ye.
"Stop, continue" Jinyiwei pretended not to see it, and continued to raise and fall with the knife in his hand, and the knife fell with his hand.
The crowd that had been crowded, hearing this voice, knew that things had taken a turn for the better, and wanted to see the excitement even more, and the team on horseback wanted to go in and found that there was no space left at all, so they could only rush in from the place where the prisoner was carried.
When I walked to the middle, the vegetable market was already piled up with relatively tall corpses, and baskets of human heads were already placed there, making people feel that this was not a vegetable market, but a real hell.
"His Royal Highness the Second Prince has come down" Chen Ye sat on the chair and saluted the Second Prince.
"Chen Ye, you still have me in your eyes," the second prince mocked.
"Where did His Royal Highness the Second Prince start, the lower officials don't know," Chen Ye said as he spoke, and the Jinyi guard on the side was still cutting off his head.
"Stop it all, hello Chen Ye, I heard me say show mercy under the knife, and don't stop." The second prince ordered his men to stop Jinyiwei's movements.
Chen Ye's face turned cold, and he said-for-tat: "Is the second prince robbing the law field?" The second prince can have a holy decree. ”
This crime is not something that anyone can afford, the second prince took out a few salt citations and said: "They all have salt citations issued by the imperial court, and now they are operating legally."
The second prince will not come here by order, and the emperor will not intercede for them.
To say that they are legally salting is to say that the case was wrongly judged and needs to be retried, and there is no need to ask for further questioning.
"They weren't before, Your Royal Highness the Second Prince."
"Now they are" The second prince was furious, and directly grabbed Chen Ye's clothes and pulled Chen Ye out of his wheelchair. There was a threat in his tone, and anger in his eyes.
"Your Majesty said that salt needs to be taxed, they have never paid taxes, and according to the criminal law, it is also a capital crime" Chen Ye said a word.
"All their taxes have been handed over to me," the second prince continued to quibble.
"Does Your Majesty know how much they owe? One million taels. Did the second prince get so much money? They only gave a small part of the money to the second prince, and most of the money was given to other people, and they used the money to buy a lot of land and luxury items, but did they send it to the second prince? The second prince should not be used as a gunman, I know that they also send money to the crown prince" After Chen Ye finished speaking, the second prince's brain was cold, I'm afraid that his father already knew about this matter.
"What?" The second prince was stunned, the situation here was seen by the people below, and his subordinates reminded the second prince. Only then did the second prince react, now that he had a knife on his neck, everyone was watching, and the second prince couldn't lose face. Otherwise, whoever sends money to the second prince will let the second prince bless him.
"Chen Ye, no matter what, you must stop today" The second prince doesn't care about anything else, he must let Chen Ye listen to himself today and stop the actions of his subordinates.
"Second prince, Jinyiwei only obeys His Majesty, and the Second Prince can have His Majesty's will," Chen Ye said unhurriedly.
"Chen Ye, are you against me?" The second prince should clench his teeth.
"I'm just following Your Majesty's will, Second Prince. If the second prince ascends to the throne one day, we will listen to Your Majesty at that time. Jinyiwei is His Majesty's Jinyiwei, not the second prince's yours, at least not for the time being" Chen Ye did not leave a little continuity for the second prince, which made the second prince's face ugly.
Don't think about it, Chen Ye will definitely not give himself any face.
This makes tomorrow how the hundred officials talk about themselves, they are nowhere to be.
"You" The second prince was furious, and he had already pulled out the knife in his hand, Chen Ye knew that the second prince could draw the knife, but he didn't dare to kill himself. The Jinyi guard next to him saw Chen Ye's gesture and continued to raise and drop his hand.
The second prince's knife had already been placed on Chen Ye's shoulder, and as long as the second prince used his strength, Chen Ye's head would fall to the ground. Chen Ye was most disgusted by others pointing knives at him, and now he still puts it on his neck, last time it was the queen who killed Chen Ye, and this time it was the second prince. Chen Ye felt that the emperor's tradition of killing Chen Ye could be inherited.
"Does the second prince dare to kill me?" Chen Ye looked at the second prince provocatively
"Don't force me, Chen Ye, I don't dare." Chen Ye saw a blood mark on his neck and began to bleed slowly, Jinyi Wei immediately stopped, and directly pointed the knife at the second prince's guard, just waiting for Chen Ye to give an order.
The second prince also found that there was something wrong with the situation around him, as long as he killed Chen Ye, he would definitely be attacked by Jinyiwei, and the second prince killing the supervisor was equivalent to slapping the emperor's face, slapping the face of the court, and the second prince couldn't bear that. The problem is that now it's embarrassing, I can't retreat, I can't go up.
"The decree has arrived," a sharp voice came out.
"The second prince retreats" in a few short sentences, and the situation was broken. Chen Ye touched the knife mark on his neck and smiled, he had long expected it to be like this.
"I forgot to tell His Royal Highness the Second Prince that the group of people who sold salt were not executed here, and I secretly dragged them to the outskirts of the capital, and it is estimated that the execution has been completed at this time" Chen Ye looked at the second prince with a smile.
"Chen Ye, you actually tricked me, what did you kill these people for?" The second prince wanted to see what game Chen Ye played.
"The condemned prisoners before them, this time they were directly killed at once, and they may not see this picture for a long time in the future"
"You wait," the second prince left with a cruel word. The onlookers saw that there was nothing going on, and they were ready to leave. I didn't expect to be directly stopped by Jinyiwei.
Chen Ye's voice began to come out: "The criminal Leng Tianhua embezzled and accepted bribes of 200,000 taels of silver, according to my Zhongshan national law, beheaded", Chen Ye began to read out the crimes of these people, and the following heard it as soon as he heard it, every person who died was a heinous crime, and he should be executed.
It turned out that Chen Ye killed the most deserving people, and most of them were not afraid, and began to applaud.
When the prisoners were almost killed, Chen Ye would go back, and all the corpses of these people would be burned by Jinyiwei at that time, to prevent some lime, for fear of causing any diseases. After all, after killing so many people this time, Chen Ye estimated that he would be flying all over the sky tomorrow, and these twists and turns would be impeached against Chen Ye if nothing else.
Chen Ye also has to repair it temporarily, hide at home if he has nothing to do, and don't go out recently. It's not good to be too irritating to hundreds of officials, after all, the people who killed gave a lot of silver to the officials of the imperial court, Chen Ye only needs to keep the evidence, and when to hold the blame depends on His Majesty's will.
Cracking down on illicit salt is not for Chen Ye's personal interests, but for the sake of the country. As long as the Chamber of Commerce will continue to sell salt, the imperial court will have more and more taxes, and the state will have the money to do more.
