This time, the matter of the fight caused a lot of discussion among the people in the valley. Since ancient times, there have been countless armed fights between the people because of various contradictions and disputes such as fighting for land and water, and these fierce border people on the border are no exception, and even more frequent.

Although there are not many fights of this scale like this one, they are not too few, so many people are a little surprised. The focus of everyone's discussion is to see how the General's Mansion and the Department of Civil Affairs will deal with this matter.

After all, Jiang Chuan's previous blades were all outward, and for the people, Jiang Chuan's image is that of a great good person, not to mention sheltering them, giving them a house to live in, food to eat, and distributing land to them, this matter is a super good man.

Therefore, many people don't think that Jiang Chuan will deal with the prisoners this time with a heavy hand, at most they will kill a few first offenders. Although when the decree was first issued, the officials of the civil affairs department went to each village and asked the chief to gather all the people, announce and explain them one by one.

But many people still don't think so, and they don't take the law seriously. After all, people are bullied to the end of such a thing as fighting, and they must not be cowardly, they must do it with him.

And many people think that this time it was those naturalized Mongols who provoked first, so they are sure that the other side will not have much to do, at most, the general must still be towards us.

Of course, there are also a small number of people who feel that they must not be so merciful and soft-hearted, after all, these people have violated the law and should be beheaded according to the law.

Moreover, these people were still deeply impressed by the captive ceremony outside the valley more than half a month ago, when they killed more than 300 Tartar prisoners, killing people with rolling heads and rivers of blood. Moreover, the car cracked the Manchu generals, and the heads of those Tartars are still hanging on the flagpole at the city gate, and they have all become skeletons.

But this small amount of talk was quickly ignored, and most people didn't take it too seriously. Even the people in the two villages who committed the crime looked indifferent, what to do, and they did not have the slightest sense of the imminent catastrophe.

It wasn't until the Protector Captain of the Civil Affairs Department came to these two villages with 2,000 armor soldiers to get people that they panicked, crying for their fathers and mothers one by one, and mourning and forgiveness.

Those armor soldiers were all temporarily transferred to Liu Ji by Jiang Chuan from the army, so that he could use them specifically to deal with this incident.

The soldiers looked grim and unmoved, and according to the list, they tied up all the seven hundred and two people to be beheaded and sent them to a makeshift prison on the shore of a lake deep in the valley.

The remnants of the two villages were also under the watchful eye of a team of soldiers who were not allowed to move around, which was like imprisonment.

At this time, the Yamen of the Department of Civil Affairs also posted a notice, announcing that the armed fighters would be executed by the lake in three days, and that all villages would organize people to come and watch the execution.

Only now, many people know that their previous ideas were too simple and naïve, and they are all frightened, panicked, and feel that something big is about to happen.

Some people were still counting on the General's Mansion to have any different opinions, but the General's Mansion didn't say a word, as if Master Jiang didn't know about this matter at all.

In this way, the people finally realized that something big was going to happen this time. Public opinion is boiling again.

Everyone finally realized that Lord Liu, who looked at Sven and elegant, was going to kill this time.

Liu Ji hadn't slept well for three whole days, the whole person looked haggard, his eyes were bloodshot, only a pair of eyes were shining, revealing the decisiveness and decisiveness in his heart.

The reason why this is so is not only because such a heavy decision was made, but also because of tiredness.

Although all these people should be killed according to the law, they can't be killed casually, and none of the procedures that should be left behind.

He took two thousand armor soldiers to set up a row of large tents on the shore of the lake, and lived here for the past few days, so busy that he almost couldn't sleep all night.

There are many things that have to be done before a human prisoner is executed. He took a group of officials from the Department of Civil Affairs and the lieutenant colonel sent by Jiang Chuan to help continuously promote all the criminals, clean them up and screen them, divide the prisoners into five categories according to the mastermind, the main culprit, the dead, the wounded, and the agitation, and record the confessions one by one.

I did that for three days.

After these things were done, he issued another order, ordering each of the civil affairs officials to go to each village with a team of armor soldiers to announce the order, requiring that on the day of execution, each village must bring the elders of each village and the head of the first village to observe the execution, and those who do not do it will be punished with 50 lashes.

As soon as this order came out, the whole valley boiled.

Many people finally realized that this time it was true, and some of the elders of Lizheng Village came to Liu Ji to plead for mercy because of the sadness of the rabbit and the fox, but they were all blocked by the armor guarding the door of the big tent.

These people didn't give up, and went to the General's Mansion to find Jiang Chuan, thinking that Jiang Chuan might be better to speak, but they were all blocked back by Bai Mu, saying that the General had inspected the barracks.

In the end, none of these people saw anyone, so they had to die down and dare not make another disturbance.

On the day of the execution, before the sun rose, countless people came to the lakeside execution ground, looking at the tall and large torture platform erected by the lake, on which hundreds of wooden pillars were erected, many people gasped, silent, and did not dare to say more.

Around the execution ground, two thousand ironclad guards lined up a huge law field, isolating the crowd who came to watch the execution on the periphery. But there are also some boulder heights around, and they are also full of people watching the execution, and from here, everything in the execution ground can be seen clearly.

Within the ironclad knights, seven hundred and two selected executioners from the army were wrapped in red cloth and held short knives with wide blades on their backs.

Opposite the torture platform, there is a temporary wooden platform, the author is majestic and cold Liu Ji, and there are two Dharma Protector captains standing beside him.

On both sides of the wooden platform stood the civil affairs officials dressed in black, and on the other side stood the village elders from various villages who had come to watch the execution.

Everyone was silent, and only the crackling of the wind blowing flags could be heard in the huge Dharma field.

A small official hurried to the wooden platform and whispered, "My lord, the relatives of the prisoners are going to come to the sacrifice." ”

Liu Ji said with a solemn face: "Order the relatives of the offender to stay away from the court, and do not allow nuisance, otherwise he will be punished for disturbance." ”

Although the relatives of those criminals were confined to the village in the past, they were removed from the guards today, so they all came to the court to see their relatives for the last time.

The little official hurriedly walked outside the court to announce Liu Ji's order, and the relatives of the criminals outside the court showed frightened expressions for the first time, and hung their heads on the grass and cried silently.

In the past, the torture and killing of relatives and friends have not been forbidden, but I didn't want to beat this Liu Ji, but Lord Liu was so ruthless, didn't even talk about the slightest bit of benevolence? It's too ruthless.

Many people wanted to plead with the general again, but they didn't find Jiang Chuan's shadow at all, and they were even more desperate in their hearts.

The rest of the people who watched the excitement were completely free from the discussion of the last time they watched the killing of the Tartar captives, and they were all silent at the moment.

In front of such a huge and majestic execution ground, people felt the majesty of the decree for the first time, and felt the toughness and ruthlessness of this Liu Ji Liu, who usually looked at the fairy wind and Taoist bones, and was elegant and elegant, and he was not at all as weak as people had imagined, and dared to put on such a terrifying execution ground.

Many people remembered the benefits of entering the valley, and couldn't help but nod their heads at each other, and sighed in a low voice: "Ahem, it's also self-inflicted, and you can't live." ”

When the sun rose three poles, Liu Ji nodded, and the Dharma Protector Captain behind him ordered in a loud voice: "Escort the prisoner into the court." ”

A commander below waved the command flag in his hand, two thousand armor soldiers gave way to a portal, and a long spear armor soldier carried the long line of human prisoners into the execution ground.

The prisoners, dressed in reddish-brown coarse cloth trousers, tied their hands and feet with thick hemp ropes, were tied in strings for every 100 people, and slowly squirmed towards the center of the court.
