Chapter 79: Killing the Majesty
Who is still recording a confession at this time? One by one, they rushed over to see the strangeness. Chen Feng's liver and intestines were broken from crying, guarding the treasure land without knowing, if this well was discovered earlier, how could his son have given his life?
"Quick, someone will quickly report the good news to your lord." Xu Jie touched the cold groundwater, turned around and took some information, handed it to the people around him, and asked him to fly back with Pegasus.
Cai Cong sat on the stabbing Shi Mansion Office, and the confessions of these officials and gentry kept coming, Cai Cong dealt with them simply and decisively, mercilessly, some were fined, some were imprisoned, and more were beheaded.
For a time, the Zhengzhou prison was overcrowded, all of them were high-ranking officials and dignitaries in Zhengzhou in the past, and the scholar class was panicked, and some people had already sent a letter to Chang'an to impeach Cai Cong in the DPRK.
At noon, Cai Cong ate a few bites of food and fell asleep on the dining table, Lao Meng was distressed when he saw it, at this time, the lord was a little wise and martial, and he was just a tired child.
"Report ......"
Someone ran in and said loudly, but Lao Meng held his mouth and fell to the ground over his shoulder.
"What is there to slow down in advance, the lord didn't sleep all night last night, and he broke so many cases in the morning, he just fell asleep, don't wake him up."
Lao Meng lowered his voice and said unhappily to the person who reported the news. At this moment, a small hand reached out from behind him, grabbed the messenger, and pulled him up.
"Lao Meng, don't be like this next time, I won't die if I sleep less, the disaster is urgent!" Cai Cong said with a smile, rubbed his eyes, and pulled out a piece of eye feces far away.
"Isn't this a little one who feels sorry for you? With so many things on your shoulders, we rough men are useless and can't help you, we can only see you tired. Lao Meng said softly, walked behind Cai Cong and rubbed his shoulders and pinched his back.
"But what's the urgency?" Cai Cong enjoyed Lao Meng's massage with peace of mind, and asked the person who reported the news with a smile.
"Back to the lord, I am very happy! Last night, 16 feng shui masters identified a total of 180 holes, 70 have been dug in the morning, 63 have come out of the water, the water is sweet and delicious, the remaining 110 are still being dug and chiseled, I believe there will be news soon. ”
"Okay, good, pass on my order, the thin monkey and other sixteen people have made meritorious contributions to finding water, exempt them from their crimes, if they can find more water sources, this official will set up a monument in Zhengzhou to commend their merits, so that they can be remembered by the people of Zhengzhou and will be remembered for generations."
Cai Cong said overjoyed, originally he had the attitude of giving it a try, but he didn't expect these people to really give him a miracle.
The people of Zhengzhou have exploded happily, the streets are full of joy, there are so many wells, everyone is queuing up to fetch water, which is enough for the family. As for the field, no one has had any hope for a long time, and the seedlings have all died, so they can only count on the imperial court for disaster relief.
Cai Cong's words made Thin Monkey and others ecstatic, who wants to be bald with hair? If they are exempted from crimes, they can still erect a monument for generations, even if they are allowed to die now. So one by one, like beating chicken blood, they can locate and find water every day, and after ten days, they set out more positions than honeycomb eyes.
There is no need for people from the government to dig it, as long as they say that there is water in this location, the people who are watching on the side will rush up with shovels and hoes, and dig with their lives.
Many people even set up immortal cards for Cai Cong at home, and offered them morning and evening. What he did in ten days was enough for him to be loved by the people of Zhengzhou.
Many people came from far away to avenge their grievances, even if their parents were good officials, they firmly believed that only Cai Cong could preside over justice, and there was no other way but Chang'an to come to Keer.
Finally, on this day, thousands of people in Zhengzhou were empty, and countless people walked out of their homes to see beheadings outside the city, and some even led dogs to go, just looking for an opportunity to take someone's head.
The supervisor is Gongsun Neng, and today is probably his most majestic in all these years. The former political enemies and those heads of the family who didn't take him seriously, now they are kneeling on the ground, so there is still the pride and nobility when facing themselves in the past?
"The Shi family oppressed the people, and at the moment of natural disasters, they raised the price of grain and cut off the water source for their own family. Sentence and decide, verify the right body, kill! ”
As Gongsun Neng's words fell, the executioner's hand rose and fell, and with the shouts of the people gritting their teeth, the heads rolled.
"The Zheng family, Zheng Ziqian, bullied others, took advantage of natural disasters to seize people's land, and killed people. Sentence and kill! ”
"Zhu, Zhou, and Qin cut off the river to intercept the stream, causing the downstream to be stranded, and the people were struggling to make a living, and they killed innocent villagers downstream and drowned children. Verify the right body, kill! ”
"Boss, son...... Open your eyes, and behold, the beasts that killed you have been avenged. Chen Fengshi saw the heads rolling, knelt on the ground and cried loudly, and kept kowtowing with his daughter in the direction of the Assassin's Mansion, and the blood flowed all over his face without stopping. There are countless people who have acted like her.
Cai Cong sat on the main seat in the palace, and below were the officials and gentry of Zhengzhou, many of whom were people who had committed minor crimes, and they didn't dare to look at Cai Cong with their heads down, Cai Cong ignored them, and they were about to see the flowers with a piece of jade pendant.
The noon has passed, the afternoon is hot, everyone is sweating, but no one dares to say that it is hot, and the bolder ones dare to sneak a glance at Cai Cong, who is sitting on it and drinking ice water, and the timid prays in his heart that he will pass out from heat stroke, so as not to suffer from this torment.
After another hour, Gongsun Neng strode in, clasped his fists and said, "The lower official was ordered to supervise the beheading, and came to hand over the errand." All the four hundred and sixty-three people have been identified and beheaded for public display. At this moment, people outside Zhengzhou City were rolling, corpses were everywhere, and the people were applauding. ”
"Well, well done. When the people rejoice, the rulers rejoice. Do you want to make the people happy again? I think it's more than enough for all of you here to make up for it again. ”
Cai Cong said casually, and the faces of all the people present changed greatly, turned over and knelt on the ground, and prayed loudly for their lives. Even Zheng Wenfu was so frightened that his face sank into the ground, but he finally restrained himself and sat motionless in his position.
"The official wants to build water conservancy, connect several big rivers, and then dig tributaries, and the people will naturally be happy if the water conservancy is convenient, but the official is short of money and food!"
"The lower official family has meager funds, and is willing to donate a thousand yuan to the grand event."
As soon as Cai Cong's words were finished, a fat official below immediately jumped out and said, and the others immediately woke up, shouting about how much money they paid and how much food they produced, for fear that they would be dragged down and clicked off if they were less.
"You are all very good, Zheng Dashanren, I don't know how much you have? Your Zheng family has more than a dozen scum this time, which reminds the official of what those bandit leaders said, and now think about it, what they said may be true! Someone! sent a thousand elite soldiers to surround the Zheng family, and no one was allowed to enter or leave until they found out. ”
"My lord, it is inevitable that there will be dead branches when the tree is big, and it is common for some unscrupulous descendants to occur, but my Zheng family will never dare to raise bandits. It is a great thing to build water conservancy, my Zheng family is willing to contribute 20,000 yuan and 5,000 quintals of grain. ”
Zheng Wenfu couldn't sit still anymore, turned over and knelt on the ground, and kept begging for mercy. He didn't have a trace of grief and indignation, and the happiness in his eyes was even stronger. If he had chosen to confront at the beginning, the Zheng family would have died at this moment. The kid in front of him is a killer, he kills people if he doesn't agree with him, he never thinks about the consequences, who would dare to attack his Zheng family if he is a different person?
