Chapter 424: Aftermath

At the beginning of October, the 13 members of the criminal Lin Feng's family were escorted to Chang'an City, and the Criminal Department issued a wanted warrant for several Miao Deadpools who had absconded.

This is the first time that a wanted warrant has been issued since the founding of the State of Qi, but limited by the level of painters, Yang Hao does not have much hope for whether he can catch these people, and this can only be better than nothing.

In mid-October, the Criminal Department issued a verdict, Lin Feng was sentenced to Ling Chi, and the rest of the family was executed.

The Chang'an City Execution Ground is located outside the Noon Gate.

Not everyone in this execution ground can be beheaded here, and theoretically only the head of the enemy or a criminal official like Lin Feng has this qualification.

As for ordinary prisoners, they have their own place of execution.

At noon, the autumn breeze is bleak.

Under the propaganda of the Imperial Court Newspaper, the people of Chang'an City hated officials like Lin Feng, and they couldn't imagine that such a person would appear when the whole country of Qi was busy with production outside.

The imperial court's zero-tolerance approach to such officials has been greatly supported by the people, and thousands of people are empty outside the execution ground.

The people shouted angrily and began the execution.

Because Ling Chi's criminal law requires high technology, Qi State does not have talents in this area, and the only executioner who has executed Ling Chi's criminal law has long since died.

In desperation, the Criminal Department had to temporarily choose a bold and careful person among the executioners.

Yang Hao asked for 300 cuts to make the prisoner breathe, which was a very difficult job.

The executioner thus did some research for a certain amount of time.

It's just that when it was time for the execution, the executioner, who had killed countless people, actually found that his hands trembled uncontrollably.

In the expectant eyes of the people, the warden looked at the hour and announced the start of the execution.

The executioner took a deep breath and knocked open Lin Feng's mouth with a tool, ripped out his tongue, and cut it off with a single sword.

Lin Feng suddenly whined in pain, but his tongue was cut out so that he couldn't even scream.

The people were as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

However, the onlookers had different expressions, and it was Yang Hao's decision that he could come here to watch the execution.

To do this is to let them see what will happen to the lives of officials.

He, Yang Hao, can give them a chance to soar, or let them go to hell overnight.

Heaven or hell is just a thought.

If you want to do something under his nose that affects his dominance, don't blame him for being ruthless.

Ling Chi lasted for an hour, and the executioner only felt that his spirit was almost numb.

After 300 knives, the last knife killed the person in front of him, and then he felt finally liberated.

And the thirteen members of the Lin family, after Lin Feng's death, were all killed, including a child who was only one year old.

Such torture seems ruthless, but Yang Hao has to do it, and he doesn't want to do inhumane things, but he can only sigh that the child was born in the wrong place, and the next generation will join a good family.

Shangshu of the Criminal Department reported the results of the execution to Yang Hao, and Yang Hao let out a long sigh after reading it.

He really doesn't want to kill, for so many years, he has seen too many deaths, if at the beginning, he could only use killing decisiveness to maintain his power.

And after the founding of the state, he has rarely done the things of the tyrant.

It's just that people are like this, and as the level of civilization increases, all kinds of problems will be exposed.

In the final analysis, it is all human greed that is at work.

After this case, Yang Hao felt the need to re-educate the minds of officials.

Let them understand what patriotism is, what is the rise and fall of the country, and what it is to be the master of the people, ask for the life of the people, and open up peace for all generations.

In mid-October, at Yang Hao's more moderate suggestion, the imperial court decided to include ideological education courses in the nation's schools after the fifteenth year of Hongwu, and Qi officials were required to attend a study once a quarter.

Learn the spirit formulated by his Yang Hao.

This model is somewhat similar to the practice of a certain party in later generations, and Yang Hao also knows that this practice cannot avoid the phenomenon of official corruption in essence.

He only hoped that he could lay a good foundation for his country during his reign as much as possible in a limited way.

If you don't do it yourself, it will be even more difficult for future generations to solve this problem.

Tongyu County, Sanchuan Town.

It's been a good year for the year, and each of the farmers has a considerable amount of surplus grain.

It's just that when others lamented the joy of the harvest, Ran and Min, who were acquitted, were in a predicament.

After being imprisoned for nearly a year, the two families were already destitute, and Ran's wife and children had been endlessly ostracized and ridiculed by them for the past year.

Just when the two families didn't know what to do next, a fast horse outside the town broke the peace of the town.

The people of the town, looking at the knight on the tall horse, immediately talked about it, not knowing what was happening in the town.

The knight inquired, and then came all the way to the door of the two.

The imperial court has an order, and the Ran family receives the order.

"O Holy Decree! I heard you right! ”

"Can't be wrong, you see what that person is wearing, it's definitely someone from the palace, maybe it's Jinyiwei."

"No, it won't!"

"Why not, the last time Na Chin came, this person seemed to be dressed like this."

"It's amazing, I can't imagine that the two of them actually alarmed the saint."

"Alas, I don't know how the Holy One will sentence this."

In the discussion of the onlookers, the two families came out in fear to receive the order.

Jin Yiwei jumped off the horse and unfolded the holy decree and said: "The saint said, the case of the Min family, is the responsibility of the imperial court's negligence, let the innocent people suffer this grievance, I am heartbroken, the Jin family is in prison, not afraid of the powerful and followed, this is my model of the woman of Daqi, hereby the martyr arch side, compensation cloth three rolls, millet hundred catties, money hundred runs, in order to tell the world."

And Ran is a veteran soldier, born and died for my Daqi, unjustifiably wronged, I feel very guilty, the position of the mayor of Sanchuan Town is vacant, and Ran is specially given the mayor of Sanchuan Town, forgetting to serve the imperial court and leading the people to build their hometown together.

Chin this!

The third day of October in the fourteenth year of Hongwu!

When everyone heard this, they immediately stood on the spot, and their eyes at the two of them revealed endless envy.

It's just that in the eyes of the two, if nothing happens, they would rather not have it.

But Yang Hao's approach still moved them very much.

Ran faced the north and bowed: "Long live my king, long live, long live, long live, the grass people will not disappoint the king." ”

When the Jinyi guard who announced the decree heard this, he smiled and said: "Mayor Ran, you are now an official of the imperial court, so it may be inappropriate to call the grass people again." ”

After Ran reacted, he hurriedly kowtowed to the north and said, "The minister lost his words." ”
