readx; "Kill and injure, kill! Whoever commits a thief or robs property, kill! * Women, kill! Bribes more than sixty two, kill! Those who deceive the market and extort more than five people will be killed! If you commit a crime, as long as the evidence is conclusive, regardless of the first obligator, tomorrow you will be killed together with Tian Ergeng, Xu Xianchun and other rebels, and all your family property will be confiscated! ”

Zhu Youzhen's murderous decree immediately shook the entire Jingshi. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 At least half of the more than 1,500 prisoners arrested by Jinyiwei met the above criteria. In addition, dozens of anti-party elements, nearly 1,000 people will be beheaded tomorrow, which is a "grand event" that has never been seen since the founding of the city!

People's attitudes towards this matter are also clear. Many officials thought that the emperor's move was too much, and according to previous precedents, many people were guilty of crimes that did not deserve death. Killing so many people at once now is too angry, and it is really against the peace of heaven.

However, another part of the officials, represented by Qiao Yunsheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, supported the emperor's decision. They brought out the "Da Ming Law" to talk about things, and explained that the people the emperor wanted to kill were indeed guilty of capital crimes, but since the Taizu Dynasty, law enforcement has gradually been relaxed, and there are countless cases of big crimes turning small crimes into small ones and small crimes from nothing, and there is really a suspicion of indulgence.

Like embezzlement of more than 60 taels to death, this is clearly stipulated by Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang. However, in later generations, the more corrupt the officials became, and there were only a few people left to kill like this, so the law enforcement standards continued to be lowered. Later, even if it was really embezzled tens of thousands of taels of east windows, as long as the pawn was in place, at most he would ask for a recharge.

But now Zhu Youzhen is going to be severely sentenced according to Taizu's regulations, and the officials really can't refute it, you can't even dare to oppose the "ancestral training", right?

And according to the meaning of Qiao Yunsheng and others, people like Tian Ergeng, Xu Xianchun and other rebels against the party, as well as the first evil like "Kitchen Knife Liu", should have been executed by Ling Chi. Now that the emperor has abolished the punishment of Ling Chi and changed it to beheading, it is already a great grace.

Not to mention that some corrupt officials were so frightened by this extremely harsh verdict that they couldn't stop worrying about it, and the rest of the hooligans and ruffians who slipped through the net were also at home, and they didn't dare to swagger around the market like before, but the ordinary people applauded it. Some people were so happy that they spent several days of their wages at once to buy firecrackers and hang them on big trees. If it weren't for the people of the Tai Hospital to stop it in time on the grounds of polluting the environment, I am afraid that Jingshi would have been immersed in the sound of firecrackers all day long.

The reason why the common people supported the Divine Decree was simple and simple: these ruffians were too hateful! If it is said that corrupt officials and corrupt officials are high above the common people, and the common people do not usually have access to them, and they do not have an intuitive impression, then these ruffians and hooligans are bullying them every day, making their already poor life even darker.

But the common people don't dare to resist when they are bullied, because these bullies often collude with the government, and you can't win the lawsuit, but will be retaliated against. In this kind of atmosphere, honest people can only be bullied by others, and they can live well by playing scoundrels and bullying others, which has also given birth to more people who have transformed into ruffians and hooligans.

But today, the son was furious, and suddenly sentenced these villains, along with their protective umbrella in the yamen, to beheading! The common people are really in a long drought, and they have rushed to tell each other: "As the old saying goes, good is rewarded with good, and evil is rewarded with evil. Long live the Holy Wisdom today, it's time for dawn! ”

Many people couldn't sleep that night, most of the people were too excited, but a small number of the families of the condemned prisoners were sad and mourning. Jin Yiwei was ordered to act vigorously and resolutely, and in just one day, he raided all the homes of the ruffians and hooligans who had been sentenced to beheading. Although no one was arrested, all valuable things were confiscated except for the house and daily necessities such as pots and pans. These family members are usually stained with the light of men and live quite chicly; It's good now, I returned to the pre-liberation overnight, and I didn't even have anything to eat tomorrow.

Before dawn the next day, hundreds of people couldn't take care of the day's work, and flocked to the most lively West Market in Beijing to watch today's "red difference".

The so-called "red cha" is a euphemism for the government's execution of death row prisoners. In order to serve as a warning to everyone, the execution ground was selected in the most prosperous downtown area, which was the fixed execution ground of the Beijing Division.

Before the hour arrived, all the shops in the West Market were crowded with spectators, and a good seat near the window even cost ten taels of silver to grab it. Of course, most of the people can't afford to pay this money, they just watch along the street, crowding people from person to person, squeezing the West Market to the ground.

At two o'clock in the morning, the officers and soldiers of the Five Cities Terracotta Division came to clear the scene and keep the crowd out of the cordon. When they arrived, one after another prisoner cars carrying death row prisoners rushed from the prison of the Criminal Department and the Jinyi Guard Prison to Xishi, and there was no end in sight.

Those ruffians and hooligans who usually fly and bully people wantonly have become soft eggs at this time. Some cried all the way, some and urinated, and some simply fainted in fright. The common people can finally vent their anger at these villains, and for a while, rotten eggs and rotten cabbage are flying all over the sky, smashing their heads and faces on the heads of death row prisoners.

At noon, the gate slowly opened, and Emperor Chongzhen's Luan drove to the court in person, and asked all the officials above the fourth grade of the Beijing division to go to the court to watch the execution.

After Luan arrived at the court, all the prisoners were dragged out of the prisoner carts, kneeling in two long columns along the streets of Xishi, and checking their identities in turn. Zhu Youzhen motioned to Qiao Yunsheng, the prison officer and the secretary of the Criminal Department, to read out the charges of the death row prisoners, and the onlookers listened to it, and they hated these thieves who harmed the country and the people. The families of those who were persecuted to death by the eunuchs wept loudly and told their ancestors that they had finally waited for the day when they had been avenged and revenge!

It was already three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhu Youzhen bowed lightly to Qiao Yunsheng, and Qiao Yunsheng said in a loud voice: "In this execution, a total of 836 prisoners under Tian Ergeng were executed. Now that the body has been verified, the time has come, release the soul chasing cannon, and execute! ”

Accompanied by three dull soul-chasing cannon sounds, the two soldiers of the Jinyi Guard set up one by one and held the death row prisoner's shoulders behind their backs. The executioner slowly raised the snowy ghost-headed broadsword, picked up the big bowl and drank all the spirits inside, smashed the bowl, lucked, and dropped the knife in one go. In an instant, the heads of people in the West Market were rolling, blood was flowing like a river, and more than 800 evil heads moved together!

Many officials watching the execution were so frightened by this bloody scene that they closed their eyes, but the strong smell of blood still kept drilling into their noses, and more than a dozen of them were so frightened that they fainted.

Zhu Youzhen stood up, stroked his palms and laughed: "The wicked man conferred the head, what a happy thing, why don't you dare to look at it?" If a man has no blood, what can he do to resist the tartar? ”
