Jingshi's arrest operation gradually came to an end, but Li Tingbiao, who was in charge of interrogation, was extremely anxious.

There are too many people involved in the murder of the prince, and these nobles and eunuchs don't need to be tortured and interrogated at all, they just bite people outside, and they can't wait to pull all the nobles and eunuchs in.

Now that more than 2,000 people have been arrested, Li Tingbiao does not dare to go on any further trial, and if they are allowed to bite non-stop, it is estimated that tens of thousands of people will not be able to stop it.

Li Tingbiao stopped here, and went to the Xinwang Mansion to ask Zhu Cihong how to deal with these people, and when he came to the Xinwang Mansion, he was dumbfounded and found that he could no longer enter the palace.

The guards of the Yongwei Battalion guarding the Xinwang Mansion seemed to have never seen Li Tingbiao, no matter what he said, they would not let him go, saying that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was resting, and no one wanted to see him.

Li Tingbiao immediately scolded the guard: "Call your commander Xu Sheng out!" ”

But I heard the guard say again: "I'm sorry, my lord, the general is protecting the Dharma for His Highness, and I can't disturb it." ”

"Fuck you!" Li Tingbiao scolded angrily, but he didn't dare to break in, so he had to throw his robe and leave.

He was puzzled, and once thought that he had fallen out of favor, thinking that he had not made a mistake during this time, Li Tingbiao had to shake his head and went to Jingwubo's Mansion to find Sun Yingyuan.

Sun Yingyuan was more kind-hearted, did not let Li Tingbiao eat behind closed doors, and met Li Tingbiao in the study of the Earl's Palace.

"I said, Brother Sun, Your Highness doesn't say a word now, what should I do now, what are I going to do with these people? Do you want to move them to the Ministry of Punishment and hand them over to Your Majesty? ”

After hearing this, Sun Yingyuan shook his head and said: "If it is handed over to His Majesty, how much effort we spend to arrest the people, we will have to spend a lot of effort to send them back, I said Master Li, didn't Your Highness let you be in charge of interrogation and disposal, why did you become so timid and afraid?" ”

Li Tingbiao said with a bitter face: "There are so many noble and noble uncles, all of them are super-grade existences, which can I dispose of at will, I still want to listen to His Highness's opinion." ”

Sun Yingyuan said with a smile: "Lord Li is really a fan of the person concerned, hasn't His Highness already given you advice." ”

Li Tingbiao was stunned after hearing this, and said: "I didn't even see His Highness's face, and the Yongwei Camp people directly blocked me from the Xinwang Mansion, and said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was resting, and no one wanted to see him, not even Xu Sheng saw me, this Xu Sheng is really fucking not interesting!" ”

Sun Yingyuan took a sip of the fragrant tea sent by Chen Yuanyuan, and said with a smile: "Didn't His Highness already say that he doesn't want to see anyone, and Lord Li still doesn't understand?" ”

Li Tingbiao immediately understood after hearing this, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, this is more than 2,000 people, more than a dozen noble clansmen, if they are all killed, what is the difference between raiding the family and exterminating the clan? The blue jade case of the Hongwu Dynasty is nothing more than that!

At this time, Li Tingbiao looked at Sun Yingyuan, but saw that his eyes were slightly closed, as if he was asleep, and he no longer said a word.

Li Tingbiao thought for a while, suddenly gritted his teeth, and made up his mind, he stood up and saluted Sun Yingyuan, and walked out of Jingwubo's Mansion with firm steps and walked in the direction of the Imperial Prison.

After Li Tingbiao left, Sun Yingyuan slowly opened his eyes, and he was no longer drowsy, and his eyes gradually deepened and brightened.

He muttered: "Your Highness once said, the gentleman's Ze, the fifth generation and beheaded, these people rely on the blessing of their ancestors, eat the people's fat and ointment for more than 200 years without knowing the return, and it is good to die!"

After Xungui is the hero of the Ming Dynasty, this matter cannot be done by the prince as the prince, and we courtiers can only clear the way for His Highness. ”

......

After Li Tingbiao left the Bofu, he thought all the way, and his steps became more and more firm, he had already made up his mind, since you nobles dare to do it, I, Li Tingbiao, dare to kill!

After Li Tingbiao returned to the Imperial Prison, he immediately ordered Guo Peimin, Marquis of Wuding, Xue Lian, Marquis of Yangwu, Chen Zhi'an, Hou Chen Zhi'an of Pingjiang, Tan Hongye, and Sun Tingxun, Bo of Yingcheng, and more than a dozen nobles and their families who conspired to murder the prince to Xishi for questioning.

After the news of the execution of Uncle Hou came out, the streets of Xishi were immediately filled with people, people next to each other, and a sea of people, all rushed to see this once-in-a-century event.

Although there were many people around, no one dared to make trouble and talk nonsense, because Sun Yingyuan had ordered Gao Bang to transfer 5,000 Tianwu troops to maintain order around the Xishi Execution Ground and ensure a smooth execution.

Today's sky in Beijing is gloomy, as if it is going to snow, and it seems to be raining.

Li Tingbiao sat on the desk, looking at the batches of honorable and noble marquis who were escorted up, his face was full of determination, even if he was held accountable and killed afterwards, he also admitted it at this time.

Some of the onlookers around were excited, full of schadenfreude, and some were full of resentment, obviously other people from the noble mansion.

Most of the nobles who were about to be tortured shouted that they had been wronged, some wept silently, some cried loudly, and some cursed loudly to show their seniority.

Ying Chengbo's Sun Tingxun howled and cried: "Benbo's ancestor has fought the world with Emperor Taizu, and he has been with Emperor Chengzu Jingnan, you are kind to your Zhu family, why did you kill me, prince!" Why! ”

Li Tingbiao ignored everyone's gaze and shouted: "Verify the right body!" ”

Someone below had already checked and verified the prisoners one by one, and after confirming that they were correct, they immediately reported loudly: "My lord, all the prisoners in the first group have been verified!" ”

"Fire, execution!" Li Tingbiao threw down a piece of fire and said loudly.

Rows of executioners wrapped in red scarves, wearing red coats, and holding ghost-headed broadswords, picked up the wine bowls and drank them, and sprayed "poof" on the ghost-headed broadsword, which was very particular.

Suddenly, outside the court, there was a commotion in the crowd, and a large group of people crowded forward and scolded Li Tingbiao for killing innocents indiscriminately, and the soldiers were caught off guard for a while, and they actually let nearly a thousand people rush into the court.

Gao Bang's face was a little unbearable, and he immediately shouted: "Quickly surround and kill these people who rob the Dharma Field and plot to rebel, and leave no one behind!" ”

After listening to a gunshot, nearly 1,000 people who rushed in all fell in a pool of blood, this person was originally instigated by someone to take money to make trouble, thinking that the law does not blame the public, these soldiers did not dare to plot what to do, but they did not expect the Tianwu army to come up and kill people directly, unceremoniously.

There was a great chaos outside the court, and even the people who watched the excitement were frightened away and did not dare to move forward.

Li Tingbiao ignored these people, and then ordered: "Continue the execution!" ”

After hearing the order, the executioners rhythmically raised the ghost head knife in their hands and slashed down, only to see the heads rolling to the ground, spurting out a cavity of blood, and the corpses fell to the ground.

This was followed by the second and third batches of prisoners who were taken to the court and stabbed at one time.

At this moment, a flash of lightning suddenly crossed the sky, followed by a thunderclap, and an inexplicable rain poured down, but this still could not stop the execution on the court.......

Two thousand human heads were cut in the heavy rain for half a day, and the cold rain continued to wash the blood stains on the execution ground, as if to wash away their crimes.

Rao is Li Tingbiao has killed countless people, known for his cunning and calmness, but at this time, his face was pale, and he felt powerless, and the pressure he was under was too great.

After the execution was completed, Li Tingbiao couldn't hold on anymore, but he still tried to show calmness on his face and ordered his subordinates to take care of the aftermath.

When he braved the heavy rain to return to the prison, he was stopped by Xu Sheng with a team of men and horses on the way.

Xu Sheng stood in the heavy rain and smiled at him: "Brother Li, Your Highness invited you to the Xinwang Mansion for a while, and also prepared bath water for you." ”

Li Tingbiao looked at a luxurious carriage behind Xu Sheng, which was the honor guard used by the crown prince on weekdays, and at this time a warm current surged into his heart.
