Chapter 201: Infamy!
The news that Xu Changqing was going to execute five or six hundred bandits in Qijiawa spread throughout Cangzhou City in the blink of an eye.
For a while, countless people came on horseback, just to see that this was really a rare grand occasion in a century.
Of course, time is very tight at this time, it is already too late, and it will be noon soon.
This time, except for those rich families with horses at home, the common people can't catch up at all.
However, the reason why Xu Changqing is like this is that he doesn't want to show it to the people, it is enough to show it to those who should see it.
At this time, on the wilderness on the west side of Qijiawa's Xu Changqing camp, under the watchful eye of a group of majestic sons, nearly 600 bandits had been tied up like zongzi, with rags stuffed in their mouths, and they knelt down on the cold ground one by one.
Not far away, hundreds of children were sharpening their knives on whetstones.
The quality of the Ming army's standard sabers is only average, and after a battle, it is often either cut or rolled, so when he was in Ningyuan, Xu Changqing acquired a lot of small whetstones and let them carry them with them.
Soon, more and more people began to gather here.
Seeing this scene scared many souls away.
It's horrible.
The contrast is too stark.
A group of young and strong bandits seem to have been kept together in captivity...... Chicken Cubs......
Not far away, the military masters who were sharpening their knives were like butchers, waiting for the time to come......
The onlookers were frightened like this, and it was conceivable that the bandits who were under control were conceivable.
Many of them were so frightened that they were incontinent, and their feces and urine flowed, but they were all controlled firmly, and their mouths were blocked, and they couldn't speak at all.
The slightest unruly action, the surrounding sons and daughters split their heads and covered their faces with a whip.
"This loyal and righteous uncle is really ruthless. This, how many years have I had such a scene in Cangzhou? ”
"Sure enough, it's a martial artist, tyrannical nature, tyrannical nature."
"Legend has it that this loyal and righteous uncle kills people like hemp on the battlefield in Liaodong, killing hundreds of people every day, and taking pleasure in killing, I thought it was a rumor, but I didn't expect it, it's all really wow......"
"It's terrible......"
The surrounding crowd was talking, and Xu Changqing was almost demonized.
But there are also people who understand that they do not follow the crowd.
Among them, the famous Zhou surnamed Juren in Cangzhou was a little radiant at this time.
He played with two delicate lion heads in his hands, and kept nodding: "He is worthy of being the world's first fierce general, Zhongyibo." In troubled times, we should use great governance! Thunderbolt means, only to show the bodhisattva's heart! If you don't suppress the momentum of these bandits and bullies, I Cangzhou will never be at peace! ”
"This Xu Changqing is really vicious...... This nine-sided person is really completely different from ordinary officers and soldiers! No, this matter has to be reported to Ma Ye immediately! ”
There are also people who Xu Changqing wants them to see.
They briefly looked around the periphery, and then left quickly and secretly.
However, what they didn't notice was that there had long been an old night under Wu Sanfu who had been eyeing them.
……
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is close to noon.
"Ahh
"Xu Changqing, you bastard, you didn't give birth to a son, you Huang Ye and I are not afraid of you! The head is no more than a big scar, eighteen years later, oops......"
At this time, a little situation suddenly happened.
Somehow, the bandit leader Huang Da Wing, spit out the rags in his mouth, and immediately opened his mouth to scold.
But as soon as he cursed, the whip of the surrounding sons and daughters had already whipped him in the face, and immediately opened the skin on his face and stuffed his mouth firmly.
Huang Da's eyes were as big as a cow, and he struggled desperately, but he couldn't break free at all.
He actually took the initiative to surrender at that time, thinking that as before, the officers and troops under Xu Changqing would definitely not really treat them well, maybe they would also Zhao'an, but how could he have thought that Xu Changqing's heart was not at all imaginable by ordinary people, and they had already embarked on the road of breaking heads.
Next to Huang Daji, Zhang Blind and others were also in the same shape, desperately screaming angrily, begging, wanting to save a life.
It's a pity that no one pays attention to them at all, the movement is a little bigger, and all that awaits them is a cold horsewhip.
By this time, Lord Xu, Lord Liu and other Cangzhou bureaucrats who were watching from the side tent had already become numb.
What else can they say?
The decision of this loyal and righteous man was like thunder, and they could not resist it at all......
In the first place in the middle, Xu Changqing was as deep as an abyss, without the slightest fluctuation, and did not pay attention to the people around him at all.
Daming's current state has really reached the limit!
If this old-fashioned, ignorant, and backward mechanism is maintained, I am afraid that except for those big cities, the imperial court will lose its power over all other regions.
And even if the policy of the imperial court is not good, it can still make people live, but once these lands are really occupied by those miscellaneous people, and there is no royal law, it will be a tragedy in the world!
Although Cangzhou is not Xu Changqing's sphere of influence at this time, it is a place that Xu Changqing values very much.
Of course, Xu Changqing will definitely not let his mother, Li Youwei, Wu Sanmei, and those children see these scenes.
"Mid-noon to ————"
At this time, Zhao Zengjin's voice without the slightest emotion suddenly resounded.
Heaven and earth were silent for a moment at this time, and even a noise swirled.
Xu Changqing glanced at Lord Xu and Lord Liu with a smile: "Two adults, the auspicious time has arrived, and the execution has begun." ”
As he spoke, Xu Changqing directly threw out the arrow in his hand: "Execution!" ”
"The commander has an order, start the execution!"
"The commander has an order, start the execution!"
"Execution!"
Suddenly, the sword and axe players who made temporary cameos in the nearly 600 sons raised the sharp steel knives sharpened in their hands!
"Huh!"
"Boom!"
A moment later, as countless blades that reflected the terrifying cold in the sunlight fell, the billowing bloody aura rose straight into the sky.
……
The red light of the fire gradually stained everything to ashes.
However, many things can be destroyed, but what remains in people's memories cannot be destroyed.
Xu Changqing's team had already left and continued to travel eastward, but many ordinary people remained in place and were reluctant to leave for a long time.
At this time, the news here has already spread all over the streets and alleys of Cangzhou City.
Some applauded, some scolded, and some were......
But no matter what, the name Xu Changqing, Xu Changqing's actions today, and the nearly 2,000 hideous corpses have been firmly engraved in the hearts of the people of Cangzhou.
In the evening, instead of decreasing, the flow of people here gathered more and more, and many ordinary people ran over to see the excitement after hearing the news.
The main thing is that the bandits have been killed, and now there is a garrison here, and there is no problem in terms of security.
At this time, a few inconspicuous horses, carrying a few inconspicuous people, quietly came here.
The corpses here had been burned to ashes, but the nearly six hundred decapitated heads were hung on an earthen wall.
Xu Changqing's order was that the first level would be destroyed after a month of demonstration, and no one could move during this period!
The Cangzhou garrison sent troops to come and watch!
The main thing is that it has entered the depths of winter at this time, and the heads have been salted with lime, which can be stored for a long time, and there is no need to worry about the breeding of plague.
Xu Changqing must put this deterrent to the maximum, so that those ordinary people dare not be bandits, as long as they have this idea, they can think of the head here.
"It's so ruthless!"
"It's so ruthless!"
"This Xu Changqing, it's so ruthless, let's go!"
These inconspicuous people only looked at it for a short time, and the leader couldn't stand it anymore and left quickly.
It wasn't until he ran more than a dozen miles away that he stopped to catch his breath.
The attendant next to him asked cautiously: "Master Ma, let's do what we should do next?" Are you still looking for trouble with Xu Changqing? ”
"Looking for trouble with Xu Changqing?"
Ma Ye suddenly smiled, revealing his iconic silver teeth, "You also want your skull to be made like that, so that people can look at it every day?" ”
"But, the ghost ...... over there"
"I have my own explanation over there!"
“……”
Not long after they finished talking, the gang met the person who came to herald, and the person who came handed a note to Ma Ye.
Ma Ye opened it and glanced at it, his pupils suddenly shrank, "Give up all your previous plans and quickly hide your identity!" ”
Ma Ye suddenly smiled bitterly.
He originally wanted to endure it for a while, wait for this turmoil to pass, and then go to Xu Changqing for trouble, but ~, the big boss behind him has given up, what is he obsessed with?
……
The horrific execution in Cangzhou soon spread to the capital, and immediately caused an uproar in the capital.
Originally, because of the incident of Gu Hengbo and Kou Baimen, Xu Changqing was already notorious in the capital, and it was a little smelly, but at this time, Xu Changqing executed nearly 600 people at once, which undoubtedly added fuel to the fire!
This instantly made many careerists who had been strongly suppressed by Xu Changqing active again.
They were in groups of three or five, colluding and conspiring, and soon, a large number of folds were placed on Emperor Chongzhen's desk again.
It's just that what everyone didn't find out was that the actor of the previous 'XX Gate' incident, the talented Gong Dingyu, was silent at this time, and honestly worked in the military department.
None of them.
The last incident really made Gong Dacai have a long memory, and after really facing Xu Changqing with the tip of the needle against Mai Mang, Gong Dingyu realized that the world far underestimated Xu Changqing's means and energy!
Although everyone was dancing happily at this time, they completely forgot that the loyal and righteous uncle was a super ruthless man who killed the slave chiefs!
Do they really think that Xu Changqing's heavenly skill was picked up?
Don't be funny!
This thing is only 'like a person drinking water, knowing whether he is warm or cold'!
In particular, now Gong Dacai also has some thoughts about why Xu Changqing made that move in Mingyue Tower.
Soon, it became more and more secretive.
It's just that Gong Dingyu faintly found that his old friend, that Chen Gongzi, has been jumping up and down a bit a bit recently.
Don't......
……
The Forbidden City, the Palace of Nourishing the Heart.
Emperor Chongzhen soon got the news of Cangzhou, and his originally good mood was instantly overcast!
However, unlike those trolls with ulterior motives who just captured the rumors in the market, Emperor Chongzhen got a detailed excerpt jointly sent by Lord Xu, the prefect of Cangzhou, and Lord Liu, the same acquaintance.
Among them, the causes, processes, and consequences of the incident are revealed in detail.
After thinking about it carefully, Emperor Chongzhen found that although Xu Changqing's methods were ruthless, the effect was really good.
Thinking from his other side, if Emperor Chongzhen encounters this situation, I am afraid it will only be more ruthless.
After a while, Emperor Chongzhen's mood was already a lot better, and as for those excerpts of Xu Changqing, he didn't bother to read them.
Soon, the excerpt written by Xu Changqing himself was also handed to Emperor Chongzhen.
After carefully checking Xu Changqing's excerpts, Emperor Chongzhen was already in a good mood, and even began to secretly think about whether he could follow Xu Changqing's ruthless methods and clean up the local atmosphere.
But after thinking about it for a long time, Emperor Chongzhen still gave up this idea.
This notorious disrepute is still ...... Xu Changqing, a loyal minister, will do it.
……
And as Emperor Chongzhen shelved the matter and ignored it, countless trolls with ulterior motives discovered it.
This saint of the loyal and righteous uncle is already a bit beyond imagination.
It was like a hard punch, but it hit the air abruptly, and they couldn't exert any strength at all......
This kind of thing has been put on the shelf by the Son of Heaven, and they will definitely not make themselves uncomfortable and provoke this matter in front of the Son of Heaven.
Therefore, Xu Changqing's notoriety can only be spread among the people through more despicable means.
This also makes it possible for Xu Changqing's notoriety to stop children crying at night in the capital in just a few days.
More discerning merchants imagined Xu Changqing's portrait and sold it with Zhong Kui's grandfather's portrait, and began to shake ghosts.
Not to mention, this business is actually quite good, for a while, the portrait of Xu Changqing in Beijing Luoyang paper is expensive, and several merchants are making a lot of money.
