Chapter 22 Chopping Money and Benefiting Money
Twentieth of the twentieth month of the lunar
Originally, when the Chinese New Year was approaching, the streets were bustling.
But this year, there are a lot of things going on in Nanjing, so that the population of Nanjing has almost changed, and if Nanjing Chenghuang is about to deal with Nanjing's underground affairs, then this year must be a busy year for him. I don't know if they have added to the establishment because of this.
And on this day, Zhang Xuan decided to send him a batch of people again.
It's always bad to let the blood collide with the New Year.
As a result, the entire main road of Nanjing City was under martial law.
Under the organization of Gao Yuanjue, four or five battalions of troops entered the city, and soldiers stood on both sides of the street, blocking the street, and all pedestrians were not allowed to approach.
The execution of more than 2,000 people at one time is almost the strength of a battalion, and if there is no one in the army to suppress it, ordinary civilian officials really can't do such a thing.
In addition to the army that maintained order outside, there were two or three non-commissioned officers pressing a prisoner, and the vast number of people from the criminal department, inspectors, Shangyuan County Ya, Jiangning County Ya, Yingtianfu Ya, and even outside the city came in.
For a while, on the main road of Nanjing, a prisoner fell to his knees after a few steps, and a soldier worked part-time as an executioner.
These executioners are all soldiers who have never killed anyone in the army, and they can be regarded as part-time courage training.
Xia Jun's combat experience is not insignificant. But not every soldier has the experience of slashing.
Although it is a bit barbaric, it has to be said that the soldiers who have killed people and the soldiers who have not killed people are completely two states.
Gao Yuanjue and Yan Yingyuan rode side by side on the street, watching the people below busy with their work.
Yan Yingyuan raised his head and looked at the sun, and said, "It's not too early, Huai Guogong, please." ”
Gao Yuanjue said, "Lord Yan, please." ”
The two of them returned to the place where they were beheaded, but they saw that a high platform had been built in the street, which was not high, but it was not waist-high, and the place above it was not large, and according to the gap between the prisoners on the street, only three or five people could kneel.
However, the people on this high platform are all heavyweights, including Qian Qianyi and Ruan Dacheng. Although the rest of the people are not as prominent as the two, they are not ordinary people.
Yan Yingyuan and Gao Yuanjue sat down behind the case, and Yan Yingyuan said, "Take someone to commit a crime." ”
Qian Qianyi, Ruan Dacheng and others, as well as special treatment, were brought out of the prisoner car on the side at this time and pressed on the high platform.
"Cut the money thief with a thousand knives."
"A thousand cuts have cheapened him."
"Cut him."
For a while, the crowd below was excited.
In today's Nanjing City, some people were not in Nanjing City for various reasons.
These people are good for Qian Qian
It can be described as hateful.
But in the vicinity, there is still a pair of worried eyes.
It's none other than Liu Rushi.
For Liu Ruyi, no matter what others say about Qian Qianyi, he is still his man.
It's just that when she heard the scolding, she suddenly turned pale and her body was shaky.
"Sister, can you hold it?" Li Xiangjun hugged her worriedly and said.
At this moment, Li Xiangjun has a bit of a feeling of being a duchess and a princess, and their location is the second floor of a building next to the execution ground.
Just in case, Gao Yuanjue arranged crossbowmen in high places. If you notice something unusual, you can shoot it immediately.
So the houses around here were expropriated. The homeowner temporarily went home to rest for a day or two.
If it weren't for Li Xiangjun's identity, Li Xiangjun would never be here.
"Hold on." Liu said: "Even if you can't hold it, you have to hold on." ”
Liu Ru wanted to bring the child to see Qian Qianyi for the last time, but in the end she held back, she couldn't bear to let the child's last impression of her father be like this.
Today's weather was gloomy and the sun was very light, and under the thick clouds, there was no visible shadow on the ground, even near noon.
And because of the cloudy day, it seems to be a little colder than usual today, and the wind is a little colder. Even though it is not as good as the wind in the north, it blows like a knife on people's faces, but it also has a bit of a prickly feeling.
Most of Liu Ruye's eyes were on Qian Qianyi.
If Liu Ru was not Qian Qianyi's close person and knew Qian Qianyi very well, he would not have recognized Qian Qianyi at this moment.
Qian Qianyi was already ill before he was imprisoned.
At this moment, there is only a torn jacket on the body, and there are loopholes everywhere, and there are also cotton wool poking out of the holes.
It's just that these cotton wool are also taken for granted, not seen, because these cotton wool has long been unable to see its original appearance. Lumps and strips, mixed with stains, form an inexplicable substance.
Qian Qianyi's figure is much more rickety, and he has always had no messy hair. It's long gone, it's all gray and colored.
It's not that Qian Qianyi's hair is gray, but Qian Qianyi doesn't know how much time it hasn't been cleaned up.
The hair and stains are knotted together, and the beard is also stranded one by one, and the hair and beard are all stuck together, and even the eyes can't see clearly.
Qian Qianyi's movements were obviously slow.
It's not deliberately slow, it's the feeling of being overwhelmed.
After Qian Qianyi was imprisoned, because he agreed to cooperate with Yan Yingyuan, he did not receive any criminal law, but the poor environment of the ancient prison made Qian Qianyi's illness more and more serious.
If it weren't for Qian Qianyi's important criminal, maybe he would have died of illness in his cell.
Be that as it may, money
Qianyi's health has also been greatly discouraged. It can be said that even if the execution ground is not returned today, I am afraid that Qian Qianyi's life span will not be able to pass next year.
When Qian Qianyi first saw the scene of Liu Ruyi, Liu Ruyi still remembered it in his heart, although he was not in his prime, but he was also in high spirits. Compared with the old dragon clock now, she couldn't help but feel like a knife.
"The auspicious day has arrived." Someone shouted.
Yan Yingyuan smashed the token in front of him to the ground, and almost at the same time as the token hit the ground, several long knives slashed down.
Qian Qianyi suddenly turned his head different.
Although Liu Ru made a lot of mental preparations, when she saw such a scene, she still couldn't help but fall to the ground, and fainted for a while. Li Xiangjun hurriedly went to see how Liu Ru was, and couldn't care about anything else for a while.
At the same time that Liu Ru fainted, an overwhelming cheer came. There were also many people who rushed forward frantically, but were stopped by the soldiers who raised their spears and formed a human wall.
There are many people who really want to eat Qian Qianyi raw.
In fact, many ministers agreed with the proposal to execute Qian Qianyi Ling Chi, but Zhang Xuan did not agree.
Killing people is not enough, why be so tyrannical. And what Qian Qianyi said, he also served as the first assistant of Great Xia, and gave him some decency, not for Qian Qianyi, but for the first assistant of Great Xia. Looking at the current situation, it is Zhang Xuan who did not conform to public opinion.
Faced with such a situation, it is better for Liu Ru to faint.
The execution of Qian Qianyi and others was just the beginning. Here the order came. A herald was on the street, shouting, "Cut and behead." ”
One by one, one after another, where the sound passed, all the long knives were raised high, and they were even more cold in the cold wind.
Almost within a few breaths, more than 2,000 people were in different places.
This is not the end, Gao Yuanjue's matter is still to clean up the mess, first clean up the body, have a family to claim it, let them deal with it themselves, if there is no family claim, just find a place outside, dig a big pit and bury it together.
Liu Ru was in a coma for a short time, and was pinched by Li Xiangjun again, and poured cold water on her, and finally woke up.
After she sobered up, she immediately went to collect Qian Qianyi's body.
If Gao Yuanjue hadn't taken care of him secretly, Qian Qianyi's corpse wouldn't have known what it would have been made into by the people.
Under the excitement of the crowd, it is impossible to say what can be done, and Yuan Chonghuan is a precedent.
However, even so, Liu Ruyi did not get Qian Qianyi's complete body, the reason is very simple, Qian Qianyi and Ruan Dacheng's heads will be hung at the city gate for a month.
This is also a compromise between Zhang Xuan and the ministers, in Zhang Zhen's words, that is, it is not enough to deter the rebellious ministers and thieves.
Zhang Xuan didn't fight either. He is accustomed to this kind of detail.
Liu Ru could only stop Qian Qianyi, and a month later, wait for the head to be recovered, and then bury it.
