"Killing."

These words were so calm and calm that Yuan Shizhen was speechless for a while.

Of course, he still quickly sobered up.

"Do you know who these are?"

He shouted.

"Mortal.

People who are the same as these common people, mortals who eat and drink Lazar like their fathers and mothers, and people who commit the crime of killing their heads and have to be killed.

Do they still have a dead-free card on their heads?

The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, not to mention just a few scholars, is it because they have a meritorious name that they can't touch, is it because they are Confucian disciples can commit crimes without punishment?

Absurd.

If these wharves block the canal, how will Deputy Envoy Yuan deal with it? I'm afraid that the bird guns in the hands of these people behind you have already opened fire, and Governor Li's cavalry has long been on the spear, what does it mean to block the Cao Yun, I think Deputy Envoy Yuan and Governor Li know better than me, since others dare to do this, there is only one way to die, so why can these scholars be different? ”

Yang Xin looked at Li Yangzheng who came over next and said.

The latter's cavalry was indeed ready for battle, and it was clear that Governor Li could not sit idly by and watch him cut off the heads of his soldiers.

"Da Ming Law is a capital crime for stealing and transporting grain, but this generation is not stealing grain, how to deal with this case still needs to be decided by the emperor, what power does Yang Serv have to execute at will, the master of life and death, Yang Servant's move is not suspected of trespassing.

What's more, even if he is guilty of blocking the canal, he will be the ...... of the Eight Discussions."

Li Yangzheng said rhetorically.

"What are you talking about?"

Yang Xin said.

"The Emperor of the Eight Parliaments discussed the merits of the old army and the virtues, does Governor Li think that these people who openly block the luck and coerce the will of the Emperor for their own selfish interests are the virtuous and virtuous gentlemen with great virtues, and their words and deeds can be the law? Do you want people in the future to block the canal when they are unhappy? As for the remaining four councillors, the assistant is the official and diligent to discuss the first product to serve the guests, and they have nothing to do with them, so what should you tell me?

Are they bold enough?

Do they dare to coerce Your Majesty, and discuss their disobedience? ”

He went on to say.

The eight discussions are to discuss the merits of relatives and the virtuous and diligent guests.

These eight types of people have committed crimes and need a holy decree before they can be arrested and interrogated.

The only thing a scholar can apply is a virtuous ......

Even Governor Li knew that it was still too exaggerated to say that they were virtuous.

"However, it is not a capital crime committed by this generation!"

Yuan Shizhen said.

"Yes, but I'm going to kill them, what can you do to me?"

Yang Xin said.

"Yang Serving, we are all Your Majesty's ministers, and you must not allow Your Excellency to mess with Your Majesty's law, Yang Servant keeps saying that these people have a heart of disobedience, but Yang Servant is here to kill at will, I think Yang Servant is more like having a heart of disobedience, Your Majesty gives Yang Servant the holy decree to act cheaply, but Your Majesty does not want Your Excellency to come to trouble Jiangnan! If you are obsessed, then don't blame us for taking decisive measures, the court has its own laws, how can you trample on it. ”

Yuan Shizhen shouted righteously.

The salt merchant mercenaries behind him immediately raised their bird guns to aim, and the cavalry behind Li Yangzheng also began to control the restless war horses under their crotches, but their targets were all those army. Obviously, once the Dangkou army starts to behead, their side will also make a move, although they dare not attack the Jinyi Guard, but they still have the courage to attack the Dangkou army.

Li Yangzheng and Yuan Shizhen really couldn't tolerate Yang Xin doing this.

This has gone beyond the boundaries of this struggle, and Yang Xin's actions are an escalation of the struggle.

The large-scale beheading of scholars in public is no longer a matter of interests, but a trampling on the tradition of literature and nobility that has continued since the Song Dynasty.

This is a matter of principle.

The Ming Dynasty has not treated scholars like this for two hundred years.

Once Yang Xin opened this bad head, future emperors would use this example, and those scholars everywhere who held the tablet of the dead emperor, held the tablet of Confucius to attack the government, cry the temple, and even Fu Que, immediately had a knife on their heads that fell at any time. As long as Yang Xin kills these people, then this case will definitely become a case, and the emperor will ask all localities to follow this example in the future, and there will also be officials who will take advantage of this to flatter the emperor, and in the end, it is this unspoken rule that treats scholars preferentially, and they dare not kill when they make trouble will be completely destroyed.

Whoever dares to do this in the future will really risk being killed.

It's a rule break.

There must be no back-down.

Concessions can be made in the conflict of interests, but there can be no retreat in the struggle of principles.

Huang San looked back at Yang Xin.

"Slash!"

Yang Xin said.

The sergeants knocked down the green worms.

"Those who dare to behead these scholars die!"

Yuan Shizhen shouted.

The muzzles of the mercenaries behind him were aimed at the Rogue.

"The Dangkou Army is directly under His Majesty the Emperor, it is specially formed to supplement the lack of Jinyi Guard's troops, and it is commanded by Yang Xin, the governor of the military capital of the Jinyi Guard, and its main officers are all Jinyi Guard, attacking the Dangkou Army is like attacking Jinyiwei, you had better think clearly about what this move means. I'll wipe you out afterwards, don't think I can't find you, you are all from the Northwest Frontier Army, just go to the guard to check, there is no Jingyuwei here, Jingyuwei Zhao family and I are brothers.

At that time, you thought that these officials would save you?

What are you in the heart of the official, don't you know yourself?

You are just free to throw away after you have used them, and they will save these scholars because they are in the same group as these scholars, but what qualifications do you have to be with these officials and masters? You have also heard of Yang who wants to come, and the person I want to kill has not escaped. ”

Yang Xin looked at those mercenaries and said in a Shaanxi dialect.

The mercenaries looked at each other.

It is true that they all came from the Northwest Frontier Army.

Especially in the Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningbo areas, not only poor but also perennial wars with the Mongols, the people are fierce, and the accurate name of the Jin merchants at this time is the Western merchants, they are the alliance of Shanxi and Shaanxi merchants, and they want to hire thugs to affirm that this area is the most ideal. Those old military households who were originally from military households, but fell into poverty because of the erosion of the guard system, are also willing to come to be thugs to make money, but even if they are mercenaries, they also have their own relatives, and attacking Jinyi Wei is absolutely ruined.

It's okay to kill people for your employer's wages, but it's another thing to kill Jinyiwei.

What's more, Yuan Shizhen is not their employer yet.

Their employers were those salt merchants, who lent them to Yuan Shizhen just to give him face.

"Slash!"

In their hesitation, Yang Xin said.

Huang San looked at his son, who immediately raised his knife.

They are not those mercenaries, by this time, these soldiers can already be called absolutely loyal to Yang Xin, and they are not afraid to die for Yang Xin at all, because they know that they will not die in vain, and the relatives of those soldiers who died before have already arrived, and they have been sent to Tianjin for resettlement.

Yang Xin has already given them a future.

And in front of him was Fang Dayou, the governor of Shandong in the original history of our Qing Dynasty, and finally came to his senses at this time......

"Yuan Gong save me!"

He screamed heartbreakingly.

All those green worms were screaming in the same heart-rending way.

They really didn't think that this would be the result, these scholars who were spoiled in the time of Shenzong, their minds were still stuck in their happy Wanli years, at that time they were willing to block the yamen, they could block the yamen if they were willing to cry temples and demonstrate, and even dared to go to the emperor's house to block them. In their imagination, the result this time would be no different from before, nothing more than the emperor succumbing to them, and they casually launched a guilty person to take care of the emperor's face......

That's what Chen Youxue did.

Then they let the common people see that the gentry still have the final say in this world.

And these scholars still represent justice, and they are still the justice that will win, but how is it different from what they imagined now?

Why are you going to lose your head?

Those scholars really cried, they didn't want to die!

And in front of them, the hired boatmen were supporting the boats they had blocked the canal through the passage of the pontoon bridge in turn, and more boats carrying green worms were still moving forward, and the deck was full of green worms, silently watching one by one the hundred and eight companions who had fallen down by the canal.

As for how these green worms choose, it is up to them to decide, or rather the results of this killing.

"Who dares to cut it!"

Yuan Shizhen and Li Yangzheng shouted in unison.

But in the midst of their shouts, the knife in Huang San's son's hand turned into a cold light, and then Fang Juren's head fell in the blood spurt.

"Fire!"

Yuan Shizhen roared.

However......

There was silence behind him.

Yuan Bingbei looked back in astonishment and looked at the mercenaries who were laying down their bird guns.

All the mercenaries are laying down their birds' guns......

"I'm a bodyguard, not a thief!"

The nearest mercenary said with a grim face.

"You can earn money, but you can't do anything about raiding the family and punishing the nine clans."

His companion next to him added.

Yuan Bingbei was speechless with grief and indignation, and then sat on the ground as if he was paralyzed.

As for those cavalry......

These mercenaries have all died down, they still have a fart there, not to mention that Li Yangzheng is not stupid, since Yuan Shizhen did not succeed, of course he will not succeed, and it is too stupid to come out, it is said that this kind of old fritter knows how to back down when it comes to things.

"Keep chopping!"

And Yang Xin's voice sounded immediately.

Fang Juren's dead body lay on the bank of the canal, his head rolling into the grass at the water's edge, his dead eyes staring at the sky next to a wild flower.

And beside him is Ye Chuchun, the former squire of the Ministry of Industry of our Qing Dynasty in history, because his eyes were damaged and he was somewhat seriously poisoned, he actually hummed all the time, and occasionally howled, like a pig that had been pressed on the case and bled out. And he still doesn't understand what is happening around him, but it's not a bad thing for him, at least he doesn't have to watch the executioner next to him raise his knife and cut it down......
