Chapter 492: Revenge (II)
The cross street on Yaqian Street was originally the most lively and popular place in Qingzhou City. And today, it is several times more lively than usual, and almost all the people in the city have come to watch the execution of Gao Xiang and other officials, and the entire street is full of water and water leakage.
In fact, such a scene of beheading the local governor and his family and cronies appeared a year or two ago, and many more people were killed at that time than today. But if you talk about the sensation and the people's attention to this execution, the previous one cannot be compared with today's one, which can also show how resentful the people are against Gao Xiang and others.
As early as two days ago, Sun Tu had already set up a high execution platform here, so at this moment, Gao Xiang and the others were displayed in front of everyone at a glance, not only completely exposing their embarrassed and pitiful appearance, but also clearly hearing the continuous scolding from all sides, which made the panic in their hearts even heavier, but the only thing they could say at this time was the word spare.
However, it was too late, and as they were identified, a huge sluice knife was forcefully carried to the platform by more than a dozen sergeants, and after seeing this kind of execution weapon, not to mention the prisoners who were about to be tortured, even the people who were watching were all exclaiming, and they didn't have the concept of torture in their minds at all.
But soon, the people in the city were completely knowledgeable. As a general shouted an order: "On the order of Sun Dujian, behead Gao Xiang and the following people!" Then someone read out their charges one by one, and at the same time, the four soldiers had already worked together to drag Gao Xiang half and half to the shelf, and above it, it was the Xueliang sword that had just risen.
"Rao...... Spare your life...... I was forced to do all this helplessly, Sun Dujian, I don't dare to be your enemy anymore, I am willing to take out all my net worth to compensate for my previous mistakes, I ......" Gao Xiang at this moment has completely collapsed, in order to survive, he begged for mercy loudly, and constantly wanted to use words to impress the people around him, but this was obviously in vain.
Accompanied by a "Chop!" At the same time, the word fell on the blade of the knife hanging at a height of the zhang. With a sudden, the sharp blade of the knife did not hinder it at all, cutting through Gao Xiang's body like cutting tofu, cutting him into two pieces. Suddenly, the terrible screams gushed out of Gao Xiang's mouth, and I saw him screaming blood while screaming, and the upper half of his body was still struggling to crawl forward, and soon dragged a shocking blood mark behind him. And not only blood, but also internal organs and intestines and other fragments continue to fall, and the tragic situation is really unbearable to read.
The people watching the execution around were completely stunned at this moment, and they didn't even have time to react before they saw such a terrifying scene. Although they had seen the head killed before, they had never thought that killing people could be so brutal, and this kind of death was too tragic and terrible.
After a while, as Gao Xiang died in pain, the people finally let out a burst of exclamations, and there were constantly people who were close to the front who were frightened to retreat, and many of them even lowered their heads and gaged, obviously stimulated by such a bloody scene.
But today's execution is far from over, in the bursts of exclamations of the people, the Qingzhou soldiers dragged the next official who had already been frightened and paralyzed, and the feces and urine were all over the knife rack, and then the terrible scene just now was repeated.
People continue to be beheaded and killed, this scene has been deeply engraved in the hearts of the people of Qingzhou, and also let them clearly understand Sun Dujian's determination, as long as someone dares to do evil in the territory of Qingzhou, what awaits them must be the harshest legal punishment.
It wasn't until all these officials were cut in half that the rest of their families and subordinates were pushed to the front of the stage and beheaded. With the heads of these people falling to the ground, today's public execution can be regarded as the end.
The total number of people killed today is only a hundred, which is far from being compared with when Murong Yanchao and his henchmen were killed that day, but the shocking effect caused by it looks even greater than that time, and the people feel a burst of relief after being frightened, such a local official should be treated with such cruel means.
So in the end, there were bursts of cheers and cheers. Qingzhou City, which had fallen silent because of Gao Xiang's perverse behavior, finally recovered completely at this moment!
Sun Tu, who was still dealing with the aftermath in the palace, also showed a happy smile on his face after hearing those cheers, what he wanted was this effect, only if the soldiers and civilians in the city were united, his plan could be carried out smoothly.
After getting rid of Gao Xiang and the others, Sun Tu's next thing to do was to reorganize military affairs and recreate the original Qingzhou army as soon as possible. As he said before, power comes out of the barrel of a gun, and only when the army is strong enough can he have the capital to negotiate terms with those people in the court to ensure the safety of his own family!
As a result, one by one, the news, documents and notices were taken by the officers and soldiers of Qingzhou and sent to various places in Shandong, so that the officers and soldiers of the Qingzhou Army who had fled before knew that he had returned and regained control of Qingzhou, and it was time for them to come back.
When this news was still spreading rapidly throughout Shandong, the people sent by Sun Tu to Bianjing had already handed over the letters and other materials to Tong Guan.
When he learned that Sun Tu was not dead and returned to the Great Song Dynasty safely, Tong Guan was overjoyed. But after knowing that he had returned to Qingzhou quietly, he faintly felt a little uneasy. Even though he had some psychological preparations, after reading Sun Tu's handwritten letter, Tong Guan still felt a chill in his back in the middle of summer in early June, and his face quickly changed: "Sun Qianli, his courage is too great, and he has once again killed officials in the DPRK and China!" ”
Tong Guan, who was frightened, couldn't even sit still, and stood up and paced back and forth in his study, and his mind was even more difficult to calm down for a long time.
can make Tong Guan, who has seen too many storms and waves, so out of shape, naturally not only because Sun Tu killed Gao Xiang and others without authorization, but also because he has seen two extremely fatal things - first, Gao Yu and they really want to be ruthless to themselves this time.
As Sun Tu had guessed before, the accident in Qingzhou happened completely with Tong Guan's acquiescence. Because of the fall of the affairs in the Liao State, he was worried that he would be targeted by Gao Yu and Liang Shicheng, so he would compromise and take a step back and return to them the dominance of Qingzhou that Sun Tu had worked so hard to grab.
Unexpectedly, these two guys have such a big appetite, and it is just an opportunity to seize Qingzhou, and they actually want to deduct the charge of conspiracy through Qingzhou! After understanding this, Tong Guan hated and felt that he should do something to fight back!
What made him even more worried was that Tong Guan had discovered from the letter that Sun Tu had also noticed his ambiguous attitude towards the Qingzhou matter. Although there was no dissatisfaction in the letter, with his understanding of Sun Tu, this person was not a person who was willing to suffer.
Because of his acquiescence and abandonment, the vitality of the Qingzhou army was greatly damaged, and the local people also suffered a lot. Will you also be hated by it?
It's also a little ridiculous to say, he is a dignified envoy of the Song Dynasty, and he is a trusted minister of the emperor, so he would be worried about the dissatisfaction of a small five-rank eunuch? But he had to admit in his heart that Sun Tu was a brave and resourceful guy, and if he was really regarded as an enemy, his trouble would be quite small.
What's more, in Tong Guan's opinion, Sun Tu is still an extremely rare right-hand man, and if such people are used well, they will definitely be able to bring a lot of benefits to themselves. So if he is really not good, he will deal with it at will - of course, now he may not really be able to deal with Sun Tu, who is far away in Qingzhou.
After walking back and forth in the study for half an hour, Tong Guan completely sorted out his thoughts.
Now his advantage is that he must know everything that happened in Qingzhou earlier than Gao Yu and them, so he can preemptively kill them by surprise. And didn't Sun Tu already prepare all the felonies against them?
Looking at the large stack of signatures and charges that came with the letter, Tong Guan's eyes also showed a fierce light. It was Gao Yu who wanted to use this method to attack themselves first, so don't blame him for fighting back.
Of course, he also knew that this kind of statement that was actually incomplete in the evidence would not be very good for himself or Gao Yu, but it would only cheapen some officials in the DPRK and China, but at this time, he could not take care of it. Because this is not only a revenge and warning to Gao Yu, but also a way to befriend Sun Tu.
After making up his mind, Tong Guan was more concerned about how to deal with Gao Yu's counterattack in the future. Since the matter started in Qingzhou, they will inevitably make a big fuss about Sun Tu's actions in Qingzhou, and then they are really sure that they can protect this guy who is so bold as to kill court officials again?
Is his contribution to the Liao Kingdom and Western Xia alone really enough to offset such crimes?
This is really not a joke, the Great Song Dynasty was originally most afraid of the military generals abusing power, and everything Sun Tu is doing in Qingzhou now is obviously taking this dangerous path. Relying only on Tong Guan's own strength, I am afraid that it will be really difficult to protect him, unless he can get the help of another person.
At this moment, Cai Jing's unfathomable old face floated from Tong Guan's heart, and Taishi Cai is the one who can really play a decisive role. But what should he do to help him help him and protect his grandson?
After thinking about it for a long time, Tong Guan finally made a decision, so bet on this! I have to make Gao Yu and Liang Shicheng pay some price!
The idea was set, so he didn't delay any longer, immediately pushed the door out, and rushed to the cronies who were guarding outside: "Ask someone to prepare the car, the old man is going to visit Master Cai!" ”
