The government fled "Li Yuliang" and Wu Ciyou, and Grandma Zhang ran back into Kong Lingpei, but Zheng Taizun, the prefect of Yanzhou, still decided to go out and execute all the prisoners who were scheduled for the autumn trial. The reason is very simple, Wu Ciyou has run away and can't get it back, he can't do it as a prefect, and he has to flee to Yungui. The cause of death of the thirty-two people in prison, except for the four thieves and the **** criminals, were all officials who mutinied in Yunnan and returned to the Central Plains, as well as the rebellion of Zhong Saburo's congregation. Now that his true day has been exposed, he will definitely have to re-examine it, and maybe he will alarm the Criminal Department, and let these "Han thieves" get out of his Zheng Chunyou's hands alive, which will be a lifelong regret. Besides, if you have fled to Yunnan, you can't go to see the king of Pingxi empty-handed! Therefore, when Kong Lingpei came back to report the news that Wu Ciyou could not be arrested in Qufu, Zheng Chunyou was first frightened, silent for a long time, and suddenly burst into laughter like crazy:

"Haha...... Ha...... Ha! I can't imagine that my Zheng Chunyou's dismal management and resourcefulness are exhausted, and he is still a mirror, a mirror...... Haha......"

Hearing him laugh poignantly and strangely, Kong Lingpei was stunned by him, and asked in a hurry, "Taizun...... You, you...... This is? ”

"Taizun?" Zheng Chunyou opened a pair of blood-red eyes, "Taizun is gone, now I am Zheng Chunyou, a righteous citizen of the Ming Dynasty!" He suddenly looked sad and depressed again, sat down in the chair all of a sudden, pondered for a while, raised his tearful face and said: "Ling Pei, three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver, I have been here for a year and a half, do you know how much I have shaved?" ”

Kong Lingpei didn't dare to answer.

"One hundred and fifty thousand!" Zheng Chunyou said without hesitation, "The 150,000 is divided into three parts, and one is given to the King of Pingxi; One was given to the third prince of Zhu; The remaining 50,000 I use to help the people around me! Therefore, I am the first corrupt official in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but I am the first Qing official in Yu Daming! If something happens to me, please preach this word to all the world. ”

Kong Lingpei asked puzzledly, "How could that be?" Wu Ciyou didn't go out of Yanzhou, he still has to think of a way to arrest him! ”

"If I have soldiers in my hands, do I still need to say it?" Zheng Chunyou smiled coldly, "It's a pity that the imperial court didn't station troops in Yanzhou, and you have soldiers in the Confucian Mansion, but you can't control it......"

"So what should I do?"

Zheng Chunyou didn't say a word, wrote a note before the table, carefully used his own seal, handed it to Kong Lingpei, and said: "You take this note to the library to pick up 10,000 silver tickets, go to Yunnan, go to Beijing to find the prince of the world, and fly away!" ”

"What about you?"

"Me?" Zheng Chunyou gritted his teeth and smiled, "Don't worry—I'm not stupid!" Today, the four doors are opened, and all the key prisoners in the prison are killed, and I will also be wrapped in silver and escape! As he spoke, he walked away and drafted the murder proclamation himself. After writing it, I read it again, and saw that Kong Lingpei was still sitting in a daze, so he said, "You still haven't go, what's wrong?" ”

Kong Lingpei snorted for a long time, and said, "I'm afraid...... I'm afraid that Wu Ciyou has raided my home......"

"If the country is not a country, why should it be a family!" Zheng Chunyou sneered, "It's not cheap for him Wu Ciyou!" After my cousin Zhu Fuxiang was dismissed from office in Gu'an, he had already joined up with Da Xiang Ma Liu Da Scar in Baoqinggu, and more than 700 people had gathered, and I have written to him to pay attention. He knew the reason for this, how could he let Wu Ciyou go? I'm ...... now," he said, a little out of breath, and turned to take off the long sword hanging from the wall, drawing it and flicking it. It was the best sword, and it immediately let out a loud buzzing trembling of the enterprise, "What I hate most now is the Huangfu Baozhu!" How could the prince choose such a person to do great things? If he hadn't been slackened and soft-hearted, would I, Zheng Chunyou, have today's disaster? ”

He said in deep thought as he approached Kong Lingpei, and suddenly, caught off guard, he stabbed Kong Lingpei in the chest, and the sword pierced the back of his heart.

"You!" Kong Lingpei stood up with a "brush", staggered and refused to fall, and asked Zheng Chunyou with a cruel smile, "Why are you?" Speak out so that I will die with understanding! ”

Zheng Chunyou took a cup of herbal tea and drank it, and said with a smile: "To love the country is not to love the family, to love the family must cherish the body, and to cherish the body must betray friends!" Has my water fulfilled thee? Wu Ciyou knows that I killed you, will I still raid your home? ”

Kong Lingpei stared and listened, "Yitong" fell to the ground on his back, and died silently. Zheng Chunyou pulled out his sword, pulled the tablecloth on the table, wiped it carefully, put it on his body, came out and locked the door, his air was magnificent, his face was calm and went straight to the detention room, and he pressed the sword and shouted: "Ascend to the hall!" ”

The execution ground in Xicai City was miserable and murderous. The thirty-two sword and axe bearers were all dressed in new crimson robes, with dark belts, their right arms bare-chested, their sharpened ghost-headed knives and hooks facing outward, and their broad backs pressed against their hairy chests. They stood impatiently and stomped their feet gently, their faces glowing with smoky red—that was the effect of the eight-tael old burning knife. There were more than 400 people around the execution ground, including the people from the Yamen of Shouxian County. On a high platform facing south in the middle was a public desk, and the dead signs were neatly arranged. Zheng Chunyou, dressed in a new official robe, stood behind the case and carried a red pen without hesitation or sloppiness, hooked the cards one by one, and handed them to the secretary of the secretary.

Seeing that the servants of each class had already arrived, Zheng Chunyou ordered: "Get ready, this government will personally supervise the beheading!" ”

"Wow-oh-" There was a thunderous roar below, and the person who had already inserted the death card was released. Immediately, there was a commotion among the people who were watching the bustle outside, and they all stretched their necks to look, and the officials in the circle beat them with whips and sticks, forcing the circle to retreat. It was the first time that Kong Sizhen saw a magistrate kill someone, and it was no different from the layout of the Senluo Hall in Hell, and he didn't feel palpitations. When he looked back, the green monkey stood beside Sun Yanling with a handful of melon seeds, and while snorting, he searched for Wu Ciyou and Li Yunniang among the prisoners with two black eyes, but because the prisoners were dressed as prisoners, their heads were pressed low by the knife and axe hands, and they couldn't see clearly. Sun Yanling seemed to be indifferent, and looked indifferently at Zheng Chunyou with a murderous face with his hands behind his back and a cold gaze.

"Since ancient times, those who have plotted rebellion and rebellion will never wait for the time to be killed!" Zheng Chunyou said loudly with both hands. This is the most murderous and last time he has been appointed as a prefect, so it is particularly solemn. He glanced back at a banner that had been specially made: the royal blue satin Lier was surrounded by blood-red tassels, and the middle line of large characters was also his handwriting:

Qin Ming Jinshi and the fifth rank of the prefect of Zhongxian Dafu Zheng

The fifteen yellow characters on the flag pierced people's eyes in the cold light. Zheng Chunyou turned his face, and said with a murderous aura in his eyes: "This mansion is a place of appeasement and appeasement of the people, and has seized the robber Li Liliang and the leader of the rebellion Yu Liu. ”

"Wow!" Thirty-two executioners responded in unison, "Your Excellency, please give the order!" ”

"Slow!" Seeing Kong Sizhen's eyes, her Bao farmer slave Dai Liangchen shouted, stepped into the execution ground with his hand raised, stared at Zheng Chunyou and asked, "You said that you have been enshrined in the constitution, and you took out the roll order for everyone to take a look!" ”

No one expected that someone would dare to come out and speak at this moment, and there were thousands of crows inside and outside the venue, and they immediately became silent, and they all straightened their necks and stared.

"Bold!" Zheng Chunyou was already on guard because he received Wu Yingxiong's letter, and when he saw this man jumping out, he was expected to be a subordinate of Qincha. "Snap" struck the public case and shouted, "Give me the people who are making trouble in the court!" Several big men who were guarding Zheng Chunyou's side "chirped" and pounced viciously. Kong Sizhen turned around and said sharply to Sun Yanling: "Yanling, go on!" Zheng Chunyou saw it early on the stage, and called out the name of the head of the Dharma Protector Field and said, "Liu Tianyi, who is making noise over there?" ”

Thinking that someone had robbed the Dharma field, he was so frightened that he was stunned to the side, and before he could answer, the green monkey suddenly jumped out, pointed to his nose and shouted:

"It's Master! Got it! - The master was sent by the emperor, who dares to take it? ”

The green monkey said, "whoosh" pulled out the waist knife, grabbed Liu Tianyi who pounced, twisted his arm back, and slashed the knife diagonally: "Who dares to be rude?" ”
