Chapter 789: Prison Beheading
(Vote for me, vote for me, vote for me in a row!) )
On the tenth day of October, this is not a good day, and a group of people even have a bloody disaster.
Why? Because today is the day when Cai Shiquan and Shi Wenzhuo, as well as their family members who were seated together, were beheaded.
The beheading was sentenced by the Criminal Department and the Three Law Divisions, approved by the Cabinet and the Celebrant Supervisor, and finally sent to the Jiangnan Inspectorate Yamen for execution.
After so many links in the middle, it is enough to show the importance attached to this case, and it is also enough to show the bad nature of this case.
Plotting to assassinate the eunuchs sent by the emperor can directly be equated with rebellion, so no one will intercede for this kind of thing.
Sitting in the public hall, Chen Xiaoting was still waiting for the hour, and Feng Wengui and two deputy thousand households were waiting with him, as well as two hundred households.
"How many people were beheaded today?" Chen Xiaoting asked in a deep voice.
It is impossible for Chen Xiaoting to know all the specific things, and after hearing his question, the head of the Thousand Households replied: "Lord Hui, the Cai family and the Shi family add up to a total of two hundred and thirty-six people!" ”
Chen Xiaoting knew that among the two hundred and thirty-six people, there were many innocent people, even if these people did not act harmfully, they would still be buried with their families.
In fact, this is also thanks to Chen Xiaoting's relaxation of restrictions, otherwise more people would have died.
According to the general way of straining, in addition to the direct collateral of these two families, some relatives may be implicated.
Of course, Chen Xiaoting had a reason to rescue these people, in order to appease the wealthy people in Jiangnan.
Killing these two hundred and thirty-six people is enough to have a deterrent effect, and if there are more, it will make these people more distracted.
At this time, I only heard Feng Wengui say on the side: "My lord, the time may be almost up, do you think it's time to leave?" ”
Today, there is a prosecutor who is responsible for the beheading, and Chen Xiaoting is going to go to supervise the beheading, and there is also the new eunuch in Jiangnan who is also responsible for this task.
"Let's go!" Chen Xiaoting said indifferently.
Then they went out of the Qianhu House, and then rushed to the Nancheng vegetable market, they were really busy today.
Nancheng Caishikou, this is a place specially used for beheading, Chen Xiaoting came once when he first came to Nan'an, and killed several stewards of the four major families at that time.
At this moment, there are more people gathered at the entrance of the vegetable market than in the past, because the people to be beheaded today are different.
"The two who are going to be beheaded today, but our big man in Nan'an, we have to take a look at it later, and see if the head of this big man is harder!"
"I don't know if it's hard or not, I just want to know if their human blood steamed buns are more useful than our bitter ones!"
"Finally, God has eyes, the court has accepted these two bastards, and Lao Tzu's family can be miserable by them!"
In the midst of the crowd, there were all kinds of discussions.
No matter what attitude they had, at this moment, these people were blocked by the soldiers of the Yamen who were ordered to stop them from the platform in the middle of the vegetable market.
"Get out of the way...... Get out of the way! In the distance, the shouts of the soldiers were heard.
The first three carriages came slowly, and they could be distinguished from the flags on the carriages, which belonged to the Yamen, the Jinyi Guard, and the town guard eunuchs.
After these three carriages, two prisoner carriages were followed from a distance, escorted by the soldiers of the Yamen to the guillotine.
At this moment, the soldiers around the guillotine began to drive the onlookers out, just to make a larger place to park the carriage.
The carriage stopped, and the first to get off was the envoy Cui Bangdao, who looked very serious at the moment, and after getting off the car, he walked directly to his own big case.
Then Chen Xiaoting got out of the car, but he didn't leave immediately, but waited for Hu Yang, the town guard eunuch on the third carriage.
The new eunuch is about thirty years old, but he gives people a gloomy look, and at first glance he is a character who is not easy to mess with.
But this kind of is not easy to provoke and divide people, for example, after facing Chen Xiaoting, Hu Yang said very politely: "Lord Chen, please!" ”
It stands to reason that Chen Xiaoting, as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, is half a level higher than the eunuchs in various places, and he should go first.
But at this moment, he didn't put this score, but said with a smile: "Gonggong Hu is polite, let's go together, you are here with the emperor's will!" ”
"That's good, you're welcome, please!"
After saying this, Chen Xiaoting and Hu Yang walked up the steps together, while Feng Wengui and the others could only wait below.
In fact, the reason why Chen Xiaoting was polite to Hu Yang was largely because this guy and Huang Ting were the same person.
It is also strange to say, although Liu Jinzhong of the West Factory jumped up and down in the middle of the court, his power was unmatched for a while, and the East Factory was pressed to the point of no existence.
But in essence, it did not have much impact on the East Factory, although the sense of existence was weakened, but the errands in various places still did not change.
Compared with the two, the east factory is still a tree with deep roots, while the west factory is like a tower in the air.
Chen Xiaoting can see these clearly, and presumably Liu Jinzhong can also feel it, maybe this is the reason why Liu Jinzhong is tossing to death.
After the two came to the high platform, they sat on the left and right of Cui Bangdao, and at this moment the prisoner had also been guillotined.
There was a commotion in the crowd, just because Cai Shi and the others were so famous.
Today, only these two people will be beheaded, and the rest of the Cai family and the Shi family will be beheaded in batches in the next few days.
"Verify your identity!" Cui Bangdao commanded in a cold voice.
Soon, there were officials who went down to check, and the entourage was accompanied by the captain of Jinyiwei and the fan of Dongchang.
After a while, the verification was completed, and Cui Bangdao glanced at his side.
"Two, the identity of the Qin prisoner is correct, it has arrived at three o'clock in the afternoon, you can ask for beheading, right?" Cui Bangdao asked.
Chen Xiaoting nodded, and Hu Yang had no objection, so Cui Bangdao picked up the arrow and threw it to the ground.
"Slash!"
The onlookers were boiling, and in the attics of the surrounding shops, some people couldn't help but feel sad about the death of rabbits and foxes.
These people are naturally members of the wealthy family, no matter what, Cai Shi and the others were once one of them, but now they are about to fall to the ground.
Their Jiangnan wealthy clan is high, but they will also be beheaded like pariahs, which makes everyone's hearts feel stinging.
At this moment, Liang Jirong sighed and said: "In the past few years, you should be more peaceful, don't force the court to be in a hurry!" ”
"Otherwise...... Life and death are unpredictable! ”
The one who feels the most about the four words of life and death is Tan Zengqing, he has been in Jinyiwei's prison, and he doesn't want to experience it again in his life.
"That's what Elder Liang said!" Zhang Lixin echoed on the side.
The four major families were beaten hard in this incident, so they all felt it deeply.
On the contrary, the other wealthy families feel more aggrieved and feel that their hearts are on fire, and this is likely to lead them to a dead end.
At this time, cheers erupted in the crowd, and it turned out that Cai Shi and the others had already landed on the ground.
The people standing in the front took out the prepared steamed buns from their arms, and waited for the people from the government to leave, so they stepped forward to dip the blood steamed buns.
