No. 110 Chen Tu (5)
At this moment, when they passed through a sea of people and walked into the murderous Dharma field, on which rows of wooden stakes were erected, each of which had a name written on it, and a bright red cross was punched on the name, they unconsciously gave birth to a deep fear, and their legs were weak and collapsed on the ground.

Thousands of people outside the court loudly scolded the squires involved in the case, and they all clapped their hands and praised, shouting that the governor is enforcing the law like a mountain, and it is the world to be covered with blue sky. Some small and medium-sized squires and wealthy businessmen patted their foreheads and secretly shouted luck.
As soon as three o'clock in the afternoon arrived, Chen Bangyan commanded in a deep voice: "Begin!" ”
Zhang Jiayu got the order and shouted: "If you commit a crime, you will be punished, and you will be verified!" ”
A moment later, a guard pro-military academy walked quickly to the high platform and reported: "Report to the commander, all the thirty-four criminals have been verified, and there is no mistake or omission!" ”
Zhang Jiayu nodded: "Drum execution!" ”
The chess and card official flag waved, and the drum sounded: "The executioner is in place!" ”
Thirty-four executioners lined up in a neat line, walked to each stake and stood still.
"Raise your sword!"
With a bang, thirty-four thick-backed broadswords were raised together, reflecting a dazzling light in the sunlight.
"Slash-!"
A knife flashed, blood spurted, straight to Zhangxu, more than 30 heads fell to the ground at the same time, the headless chest only struggled slightly a few times and then remained motionless, blood slowly flowed out along the neck cavity, and a blood beach was instantly formed on the execution ground, under the scorching sun, the smell of blood quickly spread, people were nauseous and vomiting, and they couldn't care about clapping and applauding, and they scattered in all directions.
The performance of a state government official on the high platform was not much better, with his head lowered, his eyes rolled, he endured the feeling of vomiting, and kept wiping the sweat stains from the corners of his forehead with his sleeves.
King Jingjiang was even more unbearable, he had already vomited on the side, and the few attendants who served him on his side were frightened for a while, and hurriedly took out a brocade to help wipe it.
Chen Bangyan sat on the deputy seat with a solemn face, quietly watching King Jingjiang and those officials make a fool of themselves, since he started the army, he has fought several vicious battles with the Qing army, how tragic the situation has been, he has experienced the baptism of cruel war, he does not bother to frown in this little battle.
After a long time, King Jingjiang finally stopped vomiting, his face was pale, although he tried his best to show composure, but his trembling hands revealed his inner unpeace.
Personally witnessed the tragic scene of collective torture, at this moment, King Jingjiang's intestines are about to repent, he has been in a comfortable nest since he was born, how has he ever seen such a bloody and tragic scene? For the first time, he felt the majesty of the law of the land.
Looking at Chen Bangyan with a murderous face beside him, King Jingjiang had a sense of fear, knowing that he was killing chickens and making an example of monkeys, but he still couldn't help but be frightened, this is a demon who kills people without blinking, he warned himself in his heart, the kind of superiority and self-confidence in the palace has long disappeared, and now he just wants to leave this land of right and wrong as soon as possible.
However, obviously, Chen Bangyan did not let him get his wish, the initial goal of killing Liwei had been achieved, and the next moment Chen Bangyan felt that it was time to have a showdown with this vassal king.
Invite King Jingjiang to the inner hall of the palace and retreat left and right. Chen Bangyan looked directly at King Jingjiang, and only after seeing him that he was a little hairy in his heart, did he say unhurriedly: "Lord, do you know the laws of the imperial court?" ”
King Jingjiang endured the discomfort and said, "This domain is stupid, I don't know what Lord Chen means by this?" ”
Seeing that King Jingjiang was pretending to be confused at this time, Chen Bangyan's anger flashed away, and he said in a deep voice: "The imperial court has three shen and five orders, and the vassal king is not allowed to embezzle the fields, but the prince has embezzled more than 100,000 acres of military land and people's land, what is his intention?" ”
King Jingjiang laughed and said, "Everything has to be evidenced, is there evidence for Lord Chen to say this?" If there is no evidence, this domain can sue you for slander and slander, you are a little governor, will you be guilty of sin when the time comes? ”
"Without evidence, do you dare to say this casually?" Chen Bangyan clapped his hands after speaking, and said, "Come on, show the prince the account book of the fields and acres that Wei has experienced over the years." ”
The king of Jingjiang took out a copy suspiciously, flipped through a few pages, and knew that what Chen Bangyan said was true, he did have evidence that the palace had embezzled the military land, but the king of Jingjiang was unwilling to give in, he forced himself to calm down: "The palace has been in a tight position recently, there are so many slaves and servants in the house, the expenses are very large, and it is understandable to take some acres of land to subsidize the family, and it is not a big deal, even the emperor will not pursue this matter, how can Lord Chen take this domain?" Could it be that he dared to cut off the heads of his own clan like that squire to correct the law? ”
King Jingjiang's reaction had long been expected by Chen Bangyan, he knew that it was impossible to make a vassal king succumb to this alone, and he had already prepared the follow-up killing moves.
Chen Bangyan said: "The prince is laughing, the lower officials are just a little unclear, the court has always been generous to the prince, and there are rewards every year, why is the prince still not satisfied, he wants to swallow so many fields, does he have to accumulate money and grain to try to make a big deal?" The last sentence can be said to be extremely detrimental, bluntly saying that King Jingjiang had other intentions for embezzling the land, and he did not say what the plot was, but the fool could guess what Chen Bangyan's so-called plot meant.
"Nonsense! It's nonsense! King Jingjiang was shocked when he heard this, and suddenly jumped off his chair.
Even if the emperor blames the incident, he can afford this crime, but once this matter is linked to the rebellion, he can't afford the terrible consequences even if he is a vassal king.
"This domain's loyalty to the emperor can be proven, the sun and the moon can be learned, and I will never dare to have the slightest disobedience, Lord Chen will not be alarmist!"
"Then you have to believe from the emperor!" Chen Bangyan sneered: "Don't forget how the king of Jingjiang passed away in the previous generation, if this matter makes people with a heart add fuel and vinegar, does the prince know what the consequences will be?" ”
When the King of Jingjiang heard this, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, the King of Jingjiang in the previous generation was imprisoned and died by the victorious Longwu because of the competition for the throne, but fortunately, Longwu was not ruthless enough, but he just imprisoned and killed the King of Jingjiang himself, and did not take the opportunity to cut down the roots of the King of Jingjiang and take the title and remove the country. During the year or two of Longwu's reign, he was really low-key for a while as his successor.
Now that Chen Bangyan has brought up the old matter again, especially the faint threatening words in the back, he has to seriously consider the consequences, and he has every reason to believe that with Chen Bangyan's ruthlessness, the people who add fuel and vinegar will inevitably have his share at that time.
