On the seventh day of the first month of May, the fanmen of the East Factory pressed the steel knife and dressed up vigorously, and all the 38 officials involved in the Taifu Temple Tibetan Silver Case and the relatives of the criminals who were beheaded for the crime were escorted to the entrance of the Dongcai Market in the outer city of the capital. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoHundreds of condemned prisoners knelt on the improvised execution table under the gaze of countless people in the capital.

This time, the Tibetan silver case, because it involved a wide range of influences, almost caused the decline of the Ming Dynasty's national fortunes, and has been designated by the Son of Heaven as the "Taifu Temple Reverse Case". On the afternoon of the fifth day of the fifth month of the fifth month of May, the Son of Heaven, Zhu Youzhen, ordered the Criminal Department, the Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to all go out overnight on the night of the fifth day of the fifth month of May, and according to the list of recitals of Li Zhi, the Duke of Jinguo, they grasped all the facts of the case in one day and one night.

This time, some civil officials resisted. Zhu Youzhen skipped these two and appointed Zhang Guanghang, the servant of the Criminal Department, who had always obeyed the imperial power, and the right deputy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Shi Wen Kaiting, were responsible for ensuring the efficient execution of the triage of the three divisions.

At noon on the seventh day of the fifth lunar month, the people who watched the murder of traitors crowded the streets and alleys near the entrance of the vegetable market in the east of the city, and the open space of the execution ground next to the entrance of the vegetable market was full, and even the roofs of nearby houses were full of people. Those trembling tiled roofs don't know if they can support the audience above. From above, there are black pressed human heads everywhere.

Hundreds of prisoners were escorted to the entrance of the vegetable market with sticks in their backs, and the cry was shocking. But no one sympathized with the onlookers.

Seeing the prisoners brought up one by one, the people were filled with indignation and shouted for killing. Many people looked for stones on the ground and threw them at the criminals. One or two stones can still be hidden, but when there are too many, the prisoners kneeling on the platform have nowhere to hide, and they are smashed to the point that their heads are bleeding, so they can only bow their heads to the ground to hide.

Wang Dehua, the eunuch of Dongchang's palm print, sat at the top of the execution platform on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and next to him sat the officials of the three divisions, hula and a lot. Hundreds of Dongchang executioners pressed steel knives around the entire execution ground, making the whole scene look solemn. Because it is a case of rebellion, Wang Dehua also erected a golden flag symbolizing the Son of Heaven beside him.

Naturally, the representatives of the 160,000 border army could not be less, and Li Zhizhi, the prince of Jinguo, was invited to personally enter the city to witness the heads of dozens of traitors in the Tibetan silver case. was invited with him, as well as Wang Pu, the general soldier of Datong.

Li Zhi rode the royal horse "treading the wind", led 20 personal guards, and entered the capital from the reopened Chaoyang Gate under the guard of honor of the national prince. When he arrived at the execution ground, Li Zhi found that the front was densely packed with people, and he was thinking about how to get in, but he saw the crowd suddenly parting on both sides.

"Jin Guogong is here!"

"The Tsu Koku Gong who killed the Tartar is here!"

The crowd made way for Lee Sik and Wang Pu to enter.

On the execution platform, the hundred officials hurriedly gave up their seats to the two and let the two sit on both sides of Wang Dehua, who represented the Son of Heaven.

Li Zhi sat down on the execution platform and looked at the execution ground, where he saw dozens of officials with disheveled hair, as well as their family members.

Wu Fu, the second assistant of the cabinet, was killed by the nine clans this time, and the end was the worst. He knelt on the execution ground with a blank face, only staring blankly ahead, motionless. If you don't look closely, you think he's dead on his knees.

Hubu Shangshu Li was waiting to ask about the three clans who were punished, kneeling on the execution ground and crying, tears falling on the execution table one by one.

Chen Jishan, the Taifu Siqing, didn't even have the strength to kneel, and lay on the execution ground, his body twitching and twitching.

The other household department and Taifu Temple officials also sobbed and cried one by one, with unspeakable remorse. These officials are accustomed to ignoring the interests of the state, so how could they have thought that they would be punished for doing things according to the instructions of the officials?

Li Zhi searched among the criminals for a while and saw He Shishou, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

He Shishou was wearing a gray middle coat at this time, with a big tie on his body. I haven't seen him for a few years, Li Zhi feels that He Shishou is not old at all, and there are still a few wrinkles on his face, and he has obviously lived a very moisturized life over the years. However, these days I know that the catastrophe has fallen, and I may not have slept well, and the blood on He Shishou's face is not very good.

He Shishou also saw Li Zhi, and his eyes widened angrily at Li Zhi, as if he wanted to come up and bite Li Zhi.

As soon as noon came, a little eunuch came out and opened a decree.

"The first battle of Jinzhou is related to the national fortune of the Ming Dynasty and is very important. Kyushu Huaxia has all worked together to give full support and go to the national disaster together. However, at such a critical moment, Wu Fu and other 37 people conspired to hide the silver of Ma Zheng of Taifu Temple, which almost led to the defeat of Jinzhou. Thanks to the 170,000 soldiers of the border army who fought to the death and did not retreat, they narrowly won the victory. ”

"If Jinzhou is defeated, Daming is in danger, and Huaxia is in danger. Wu Fu and other 37 officials of the imperial court must be killed in order to show the law of the country. The first offender must be punished to set an example. The 160,000 border army Chen Shi begged for his life, and he could listen to it. Today, 315 criminals and relatives were killed to set the record straight. ”

The silver hidden in the Taifu Temple almost ruined the country, and almost turned the people of the world into slaves of the country, and the people of the capital who knew the truth gritted their teeth with hatred for these traitors. Hearing the eunuch's decree, the people were filled with indignation and raised their fists and shouted for killing.

At this time, the people gathered had already crowded more than a dozen streets and alleys in the east of the city, and the people behind could not see the scene on the execution ground, but only heard the people in front shouting to kill, and knew that this was about to be executed, so they also shouted loudly. At one time, the city within a radius of several miles was filled with the shouts of the people to kill, and the sound shook the sky.

Wu Fu, the second assistant of the cabinet, pretended to be smart this time, and finally lost his reputation and the nine clans were all ink. He shook his body under the shouts of the people, could no longer hold on, and fainted on the execution ground with a pop.

But even if he fainted, he couldn't stop the execution.

Two executioners with five big and three thick walked in front of Wu Fu, and one of them skillfully straightened Wu Fu's body and pulled out the mark behind Wu Fu's back. The other raised his broadsword, his hand up and down.

Blood splattered everywhere, spraying several meters high.

Wu Fu's head fell to the ground and rolled on the ground a few times.

When the people in the audience saw that they were punished, they clapped their hands one by one and applauded loudly.

When the other criminals saw this scene, where were the former officials, they fell on the execution ground one by one and trembled. Chen Jishan, the former servant of the temple, didn't know that the tendon was wrong, so he suddenly kowtowed desperately to Li Zhi, and shouted loudly: "Jin Guogong, you spare Chen Jishan's three clans, Chen Jishan will make you a cow and a horse in the next life!" ”

Li Zhiwen, who was lying on the ground, also shook his body and looked at Li Zhi in surprise, as if Li Zhi might have spared them at the last moment.

Li Zhi didn't look at the two of them.

Where did the executioners give these scum time to beg for mercy. Several executioners rushed forward and helped Chen Jishan and Li Zhiwen up.

The two screamed a few times, but they couldn't stop the sharp steel knife, and their heads were cut off in two.

The relatives of the three officials were also killed by the executioners one by one.

Seeing that the culprits of the scourge of the country were cut off one by one, the people in the audience were even more excited, and the people in the back could not see the execution site clearly, so they desperately squeezed to the front, and the crowd was a little chaotic under the stage, and the crowd was surging like a wave.

When the people saw that He Shishou, one of the four culprits, was still on the execution ground, they raised their fists and shouted loudly:

"Kill He Shishou!"

"Kill He Shishou!"
