In the eighth year of Xuanhe of the Great Song Dynasty, the fifteenth day of the first month, the Shangyuan Festival, and the auspicious day of the zodiac, everything is appropriate.

Early in the morning, people from all over Tokyo came out of their homes and headed for the area around Sokokuji Temple in the east of the inner city. But even though it was so crowded, more people rushed over from all directions, and even the people outside Bianjing, who heard the news, all rushed over.

It's really too important and sensational to be carried out in front of Xiangguo Temple today, and it is simply something that has never happened in the hundred years since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty. The imperial court, or the general of Yuehou Sun, actually wanted to behead dozens of important ministers of the imperial court, including Cai Jing, Liang Shicheng, etc., and their families, what a spectacular and relieving scene, and how unexpected, for people in the world, this is not a dream to have such a thought.

Not to mention that Taishi Cai Jing and Taifu Liangshi have become, it is an official who is not known to everyone in this list, and it is also an existence that all the people in the world can only look up to. They have indeed done too many things that have brought disaster to the country and the people, but whether it is the court or the people, they have always had no way to take them, let alone let them fight with their lives, that is, to remove them from their official positions, so that they can no longer use the power in their hands to mutilate the people.

Because everyone knows that the Great Song Dynasty has set a national policy since the founding of Taizu, and the imperial court will not kill scholars! What is a scholar, that is, those scholars who have a meritorious reputation, and those officials of all sizes in the imperial court. Therefore, although there have been party struggles in the court in the past hundred years, most of the losers have just been demoted and went out, and few really died because of this; Therefore, how many corrupt officials have been produced in the Great Song Dynasty in the past hundred years, even if they have been found to have empirical evidence, but the result has been gently let go, and how many officials may have bullied the people and done heinous evil, but in the end they still escaped the punishment of the law......

Everyone knows that this rule is very problematic, but because it was established by Emperor Taizu, no one has ever dared to overthrow it. But today, Yuehou Sun Tu used extremely tough means to completely overthrow him, and this killing was still dozens of officials and their families. How can this not attract the people in the city to scramble to watch, and how many people with unclear grievances are waiting for the moment when the heads of these evil guys fall to the ground.

Speaking of a word, today will be celebrated by the whole world, and it will become the most important Shangyuan Festival in the history of the Great Song Dynasty, I am afraid that countless people will nod their heads and agree. Now, just wait for the time to come, just wait for the heads of those corrupt officials to fall to the ground.

In the slightly excited and anxious mood of everyone, time slipped by little by little, and it was time in a blink of an eye. With the sound of gongs, a huge procession slowly came along the long street full of people. And after seeing the Sun Zijun flag in the head, the people who originally occupied the entire street quickly retreated to both sides like tofu with a quick knife, giving way to the way forward, so that the team could pass quickly.

After hundreds of elite horsemen rode through in front of them, there were even more elite soldiers in the back, including thousands of them, and the people who were surrounded by them were prisoners in heavy shackles, shackles, and prison clothes. At this time, I don't know if it was because the body could not bear such shackles, or because they were terrified, these prisoners all lowered their heads, and their steps were even more slow to the extreme, and they had to wave their spears and whips from time to time to drive them away, and they would move forward step by step, looking completely lifeless.

If he hadn't known the identities of these criminals earlier, just looking at their embarrassed appearance now, no one would have believed that these were the high-ranking officials in the past. The guy who was at the front of the line, who had to take a few breaths of air almost every step and had a white beard, was actually Cai Jing Cai Taishi, who could make the world famous and change color, and the one who followed him with smaller steps and a paler face was actually Liang Shicheng......

When the people slowly recognized their identities, there was a silence for a while, and then anger and sharpness, and all kinds of scolding came from all directions, mixed with all kinds of rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs, plus stones and broken bricks picked up from nowhere, all of which rained down on these traitorous ministers and dog officials who brought disaster to the country and the people. The beating made them snort again and again, and their walking steps became more and more messy.

Seeing that the people were in more and more commotion, it seemed that many people were about to pounce at any time and kill these dog officers with their own hands, so a few soldiers waved the weapons in their hands and shouted loudly to stop people's further behavior. At the same time, the soldiers beside these prisoners unhappily pumped their whips again, driving them towards the front court at a faster speed.

It was not a long stretch of road, but because of the actions and crowding of the people, it took the whole team half an hour to pass. Fortunately, the family members of the convicts did not attract too much hatred from the people, and they were able to stop and pass quickly, otherwise, I am afraid that it would have been more than noon just to bring people into the court.

This scene fell in the eyes of Tong Mu, who entered the court from the other side and was already sitting on the prison platform, which made him feel more confident: "The people's will is available, no wonder San Lang was in a hurry to kill these guys as soon as he entered Tokyo, but there is really some truth." This time, as long as we kill them again and win the hearts of the people in the city and even the whole country, then we can get the support of countless people if we want to further implement our own set of strategies. ”

While thinking about it, his gaze quickly swept over the crowd of people around him, and he was a little nervous in his heart: "But today's execution will inevitably encounter twists and turns, let me see how many stubborn guys there are in the city, and see how much noise you will make." But no matter what means you have, as long as you dare to go out today, let you be a funeral! ”

In a blink of an eye, Tong Mu's eyes swept to a three- or four-story restaurant on the side, and then he quickly retracted his gaze, began to sort out the various items on the desk, straightened his robe, and slowly stood up.

Because at this time, hundreds of prisoners and their families have been brought into the court, forcibly pressed down by the soldiers, kneeling in dozens of rows, and behind each person, there are even more soldiers in the army with ghost-headed broadswords and resolute eyes, obviously they are the executioners of this execution.

The scene of today's execution was too big, even if it was impossible to find such a large number of executioners in Tokyo, so Sun Tu simply asked people from the army to gather some bold and ruthless soldiers to carry out today's execution. And when they knew that it was Cai Jing and other powerful ministers who were going to be killed today, the officers and men in the army were even more enthusiastic, and they had already recruited all the people in only half a day. Among them, the most eye-catching is a man who is also wearing a prisoner's prison uniform, but standing behind Cai Jing, he is really special among the soldiers waiting for execution.

Just when the people outside discovered this strange situation and speculated and discussed, Tong Mu had already raised the holy decree in his hand after shaking his robe, and a personal soldier beside him put a megaphone to his mouth, so that his voice could be transmitted as far as possible: "Ladies and gentlemen of Tokyo City, this official Tong Mu, today at the behest of His Majesty, General Yuehou Sun has ordered to supervise the execution of Cai Jing, Liang Shicheng and the next court traitors and their families. Originally, this scene should have been supervised by General Sun himself, but yesterday he was subjected to nearly 100 military sticks for upholding military law, and he suffered a stick attack at night, so it was really difficult to get up, so he could only be supervised by this official on his beheading, and I hope you don't misunderstand. ”

As soon as these words came out, they caused a buzz among the surrounding people, most of which were words of praise for Sun Tu. Yesterday, in order to maintain military law, he was willing to accept the rod in public, and it had already spread to every corner of Tokyo City through word of mouth, and everyone respected Sun Tu even more, so even if he did not come today, it did not make everyone feel the slightest dissatisfaction, but respected him more and more.

Tong Mu only paused for a moment, and then spoke again: "These criminal officials in front of me are all deeply used by the imperial court, but for many years, they have not thought of serving the country and the people, but have done many injustices and harmed hundreds of people. In the past few days, we have received thousands of grievances against them, and it is not an exaggeration to say that their sins are too numerous to mention.

After seeing this, Yuehou was even more indignant, so he specially entered the palace to invite the Son of Heaven to see him, counted the serious crimes of Cai Jing and others, and asked the Son of Heaven to condemn him to death. Although our Great Song Dynasty has never killed a scholar in the past hundred years, the crimes committed by Cai Jing and others are too serious, and not killing them is not enough to anger the people, and not killing them is not enough to correct the law of the country. So today, this official is specially ordered to kill the evil spirits to thank the world! ”

After a pause, he really opened the holy decree, and after clearing his throat, he recited aloud the brilliant decree of the above......

Whether they could understand it or not, all the people around them tried to prick up their ears to listen, and all of them were so excited that their faces turned red and their bodies trembled, but no one said anything, as if they were afraid that this would interrupt this solemn scene.

However, in such a solemn and solemn environment, there were also many people who were out of place with the people around them, their expressions flickering, and their bodies were still subconsciously moving forward, as close as possible to the front court. If one looked closely at their lowered hands and cuffs, they would see a cold light flickering there.

In Xiangguo Temple, on top of the seven-story tower, a man with an ordinary face looked at the direction of the Dharma Field from a distance, and then quickly cast his gaze farther away, throwing out of Tokyo City: "The Ninth Young Master should be almost here, and the strange soldiers along the way should also be launched." Success or failure, life and death, only today! ”
