"Wang Jiayan, a native of Changyi. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Changyi Wang family patriarch, in the second year of Chongzhen, Wang Jiayan sent his slaves to kill Wang Dakui's father and injured his mother in order to seize the fifteen acres of paddy fields of the farmer Wang Dakui. In the third year of Chongzhen, Wang Jiayan forcibly seized the property of Wang Xueqian, a subsidiary of the side family, in the name of the patriarch, and then made up charges to force Wang Xueqian's family of five to death..."

"Zhao Zhaoxiang, a native of Weixian, a member of the Zhao family in Weixian County, during the first year of Chongzhen to the seventh year of Chongzhen, Zhao Zhaoxiang distributed Lizi money in Weixian County and its surrounding areas, resulting in the destruction of more than 300 families in Weixian County..."

"Chen Zhengxiong, a native of Xinhe, the shopkeeper of Laizhou Dental Shop, opened a dental store in Laizhou since the second year of the Apocalypse, and participated in human trafficking countless times during the end of Chongzhen's seventh year, forcing thousands of families to be torn apart and separated, and his crime is heinous..."

……

For more than an hour, Wu Tao stood straight on the high platform and read aloud the indictments of these prisoners. Until his voice was hoarse, he didn't stop for a short moment. Starting from Wang Jiayan, this one, one by one, one by one, full of the blood and tears of the people, slowly presented in front of everyone. Whether it is the soldiers of the Broken Army or the ordinary people in the audience, the attitude has slowly changed with these bloody facts step by step, from the beginning of the angry scolding gradually to a whispered discussion, from a low discussion to a quiet listening that can be heard by the pin. Although there was no discussion and noise at the conference, the atmosphere became unprecedentedly depressed, Liu Fan stood on the stage, looking at the faces of the people below who were flushed with anger and their chests were constantly rising, and he had already guessed how heavy the anger in the hearts of the people was.

In fact, not only the people are like this, but Liu Fan is also full of anger in his heart, and there is nowhere to vent. As a young man born in the countryside of New China and growing up under the red flag, Liu Fan has basically had little contact with these cruel and dark people and things since he was a child. Although Liu Fan has experienced a lot of things after coming to Daming, he never thought that such a dark and bloody scene would be hidden on the seemingly peaceful and prosperous surface of Shandong. Looking at the northern provinces of the Ming Dynasty, Shandong can be said to be the least affected by the war. Shandong is like this, Liu Fan can't imagine what will happen to those other places that are ravaged by rogues and Tatars? Is the north in the Chongzhen period really a hell for the people of the Ming Dynasty?

“… All 135 of them have been identified and confessed to the crimes they have committed. Now I beg the Chief Soldier to announce his disposition! Wu Tao shouted in a hoarse voice, and then trotted to Liu Fan, respectfully handing over the list in his hand to Liu Fan.

Liu Fan took the list, glanced at it expressionlessly, turned to the audience and said loudly, "Everyone knows the crimes committed by these people, and they are all exalted if they are the most heinous crimes, and how do you say to deal with these black sheep of Laizhou soldiers?" ”

"Kill them!" "Yes, cut them with a thousand cuts!" The crowd fell silent for a while, and then erupted into a loud shout. The people waved their arms vigorously, staring viciously at the rows of kneeling prisoners on the stage with extremely hateful eyes, if their eyes could kill, Liu Fan believed that these people had died thousands of times.

"Not bad! These people really deserve to die, Skynet is magnificent, negligent but not leaky! These people usually ride on the heads of the people and do the right thing, and now it's time for them to pay the price they deserve! Now this official announces that the above 135 people will be sentenced to death! Come on, push me out and cut it off! ”

As soon as Liu Fan gave an order, the impatient soldiers of the Broken Army who had been waiting for a long time pounced over like wolves and tigers, and dragged the more than 100 people under the high platform and made them kneel down in front of the people.

"Laizhou has suffered enough and for a long time, and these people are one of the sources of suffering for the people of Laizhou. It is precisely because of the existence of these people that Laizhou, which was originally rich and stable, has become dilapidated and barren. And from today, it's all coming to an end. Since this official came to Laizhou on the order of His Majesty the Emperor, then this official will not sit back and watch Laizhou slide into the abyss step by step. Although this official does not dare to say that he can make you live a happy and healthy life, he will definitely make you well fed and warmly clothed! Today, this official swears again, I will definitely return Laizhou to a bright blue sky, and will definitely build Laizhou into a paradise like Jiaozhou! Let the blood of these moths bear witness to our bright tomorrow now! Execute! ”

"Click! Knock knock knock..."Although Liu Fan shouted loudly, the soldiers in charge of the execution raised their big knives in their hands one after another and slashed at the more than 100 people who fell to the ground. Suddenly, people's heads were rolling, and bright red blood sprayed on the open space outside Laizhou City.

"Whew!" Seeing that the heads of these enemies had been cut off, the people couldn't help but scream loudly. What's more, but the dirty blood on the ground tore the flesh and blood of these inferior landlords, and they were put in their mouths and chewed in large gulps, in order to vent the anger and hatred in their hearts.

Looking at the people who fell into madness under the high platform, Liu Fan did not send someone to stop it, because he knew that this was the best way for the people to vent, although the way was a little cruel, but this was also the fault of those gentry, and Liu Fan would not have any sympathy and pity for this kind of person.

More than 100 people who have committed great sins have been beheaded and temporarily paid for their sins. But the families of these people have not yet been disposed of. In Liu Fan's view, although these people did not personally participate in the persecution of the people, they did not lack accomplices. And even if they were not accomplices, they were the vested beneficiaries of the gentry's exploitation and oppression of the common people. The ancients said that the debt of the father and the son were repaid, which is justified. Born in such a family, even if he did not make a mistake, he himself was guilty.

But these are sinful, but they are not guilty unto death. As for how to deal with these people, Liu Fan already has a draft in his heart. That is the labor reform. These people will be sentenced to different degrees and different periods of time according to the magnitude of their culpability. In the future, they will pay for their sins with their labors.

Seeing Liu Fan's gaze on his side, those family members avoided Liu Fan's gaze in horror. I saw with my own eyes that my family's former high backer collapsed with a bang, and there were no bones left. This kind of impact is not something that ordinary people can bear, and it is good that these family members did not collapse on the spot. And as the initiator of all this, Liu Fan is seriously a flood beast-like existence in them. What does it feel like to be targeted by a bloodthirsty beast? The reaction of the prisoners' families illustrates this very well. (To be continued.) )
