Chapter 32 (1st Update)
Mei Shuyu gave an order, except for Ye Lanying, who was put into the prisoner car, the rest of the people were tied up and paraded around the street, and then beheaded in front of the vegetable market at Dongchengkou to show the public.
When have the people of Luwan City seen such a bloody storm? Everyone's faces were as frightened as earth.
Twenty cartloads of crossbow arrows wrapped in cloth were exposed in broad daylight, and many brave people were still watching even if they were afraid.
It is a big crime to make weapons and smuggle weapons, and on this day, the people of Luwan City clearly have a deep understanding of the laws of Southern Chu in their hearts, and they firmly remember it in their hearts.
One by one, the heads fell to the ground, bringing the bloody wind and rain of the day to an end.
Ye Lanying slowly woke up from the smell of blood when her subordinates were beheaded, and when she saw the situation in front of her, her pale face was almost distorted and deformed, and she could no longer see the soft, beautiful, intelligent and harmless appearance she had earlier.
Mei Shuyu tore open her face disguised under gentleness, and tore it unceremoniously.
Ye Lanying almost gritted her teeth, and the intestines of regret in her heart were knotted, she regretted that she should not be careful enough, and she didn't realize that she had been targeted early in the morning. Even more regretful, when the general trend has gone, she didn't admit defeat, and even called out the black shadow guard she cultivated single-handedly, and now, her people are all folded here, and all the plans have been ruined.
But on the contrary, she doesn't want to die yet, if she dies, she will be gone, but there is no hope. She's alive, maybe there's hope of escaping, maybe someone will come to save her, and if she's dead, there's nothing.
So, she could only watch as all this happened in front of her in what seemed to her to be very absurd, and there was nothing she could do.
Since she was a child, she has never been powerless, this is the first time, but it is also a fatal one.
Mei Shuyu saw that Ye Lanying had woken up, he rode on a horse, stood by the prisoner car, and smiled at her, "What's the matter?" Is it still a pleasure to watch? ”
Ye Lanying looked at Mei Shuyu angrily and wanted to stab him with a sword, the hatred in her heart was monstrous, she never thought that she would be planted in Mei Shuyu's hands, for this person, although she had a reputation for being a little gentleman before, but she was not as big as Lu Zhiling, and later she was famous all over the world because of Zhao Qingxi, in her opinion, she was not a person to be afraid of, but she capsized.
She gritted her teeth and said, "You wait! If one day you fall into my hands, I will make you unable to live, and you will not be able to die. ”
Mei Shuyu laughed, "Okay, I'm waiting for the day when you settle accounts with the master, but I'm afraid you won't have a chance." Let's worry about how I'm going to die first. ”
Ye Lanying closed her eyes and thought silently, no, she must live, only by living can she get Yunrang.
The father-in-law will definitely not let him die, and he is only one step away from rebelling.
And she is the right-hand man of her father-in-law, no one can replace her position by her father-in-law's side, and her father-in-law will not ignore her, and will definitely send someone to save her.
She still has a chance.
Mei Shuyu looked at Ye Lanying and sneered in her heart, let him dream! After entering the dungeon of the East Palace, the gods couldn't get out.
After cutting off the head and achieving the result of setting an example, Mei Shuyu naturally did not stop in Luwan City, and immediately left with 80,000 soldiers and horses to escort the prisoner car.
The county guard was naturally eager to send this powerful plague god away, so he sent it all the way outside the city gate, and did not forget to instruct, "General Mei, be careful all the way, this time you are in a hurry in Luwan City, and the lower official has not fulfilled the friendship of the landlord, and when you come again next time, the lower official must prepare wine and food." ”
He said this, but in his heart he thought, don't come next time, if you come again like this, I will not do it. The heart can't stand it.
Mei Shuyu only then felt that this county guard was also cute, and he waved his hand kindly, "The aftermath will be handed over to the adults." When the words fell, he added, "Those who plotted rebellion, even if they were beheaded, they did not understand their hatred, and they were thrown into mass graves to feed the dogs." ”
"Yes." The county guard responded again and again, thinking that no one should offend this General Mei, and the end of offending him was to cut off his head and feed the dogs. Sure enough, it's a general, it's too murderous.
After Mei Shuyu left, the county guard hurriedly led people to throw the corpses of those who were separated into mass graves to feed the dogs, and then ordered people to clean the streets, and it took a day to clean the streets before the streets were cleaned without blood, and the wind blew for a day, and the air in Luwan City was free of blood.
After Mei Shuyu walked fifty miles, he passed by the Taoist temple, and looked at Jing Jing from a distance, he instructed one person, "Go and check it out, and see if the people inside have been solved by Zhu Gong?" ”
Someone should have been, and immediately took a few people with him.
After a short time, the man came back and said, "General, there was blood stains from the fight, but now the building is empty, and there is no one." ”
"Well, that's Zhu Gong has already cleaned up and solved it." Mei Shuyu instructed again, "You take a few people to Zhaoyuan County, pass a message to my eldest brother and Zhu Gong, and say that I will not enter Zhaoyuan County, go back to Beijing directly, and let Zhu Gong help my eldest brother deal with the matter, and then bring people to chase me." ”
"Yes!"
The man immediately went to Zhaoyuan County with a few guards.
Mei Shuyu directly led 80,000 soldiers and horses to escort the prisoner cart to the capital.
In Zhaoyuan County, it was also a bloody storm, Zhu Gong besieged the Taoist temple with 20,000 soldiers and horses without warning, took a stronghold of more than a dozen people, tied them up, and then took them to Zhaoyuan County.
After helping Zhu Gong clean up the people of the Taoist temple, Mo Zhu returned to the city first, and made it clear to Mei Shuyan who was waiting for news, and then, helping Mei Shuyan, first took down the master and tied him up, and then ordered someone to tie up the informant old woman and the young man who lived in the courtyard of the alley to the county guard's office.
The master who has followed Mei Shuyan since he was a child immediately cried, and the deep pain was that he was obsessed with his mind and didn't want to be the eldest son's lifelong follower, so when someone found him in secret, he agreed to betray and begged Mei Shuyan to let go of his family, who didn't know anything, and he was willing to apologize for his crimes.
Mei Shuyan's face was expressionless, she didn't say that she promised him, she didn't say she wouldn't agree to him, she immediately ordered people to beat him to death.
He is kind, but he is not soft-hearted.
Then, she also wanted to beat the young man to death according to the gourd painting a scoop stick, and the old woman knelt down and begged for mercy, saying that she only had one grandson, and he was willing to confess and confess to the informants, and she was willing to apologize with death, and begged Master Mei to spare her grandson's life.
Mei Shuyan nodded, so the old woman confessed two more people, one of whom turned out to be the proprietress of the Zhaoyuan stake, and the other was an inconspicuous soldier guarding the city.
Mei Shuyan immediately sent someone to arrest the two people, but the proprietress was hard-boned, didn't say anything, and immediately committed suicide, and the little soldier, except for one person, was the leader of the little beggars wandering on the streets in Zhaoyuan County.
At this point, this dark line buried in Zhaoyuan County surfaced, it turned out that Ye Lanying used the beggars to bring the crossbow arrows into the city in batches through manpower, and the proprietress of the Zhaoyuan cloth pile was entrenched in the foundation of Zhaoyuan County for decades, packed it, and passed through the small soldiers at the city gate, opened the city in the middle of the night, and transported it out of the city.
To say that 20 carts of crossbow arrows are not a small number, but last year, the Heilong River in the north burst its embankment, and there was a large area of flooding, and there were too many displaced people to suppress it, and they poured into Zhaoyuan County, at that time, the homeless displaced people gathered together and formed a small gang, which obeyed the command of one person in an organized and disciplined manner, took some work, and fed these people so that they would not starve to death. Ye Lanying found these people and paid them very well, so she was naturally willing to work for her.
There are many people, and there are beggars and homeless people who come and go in and out of the city, plus there are ghosts and masters, so this line from top to bottom, although there are not many people, is very perfect, and it does not attract attention.
Because Zhaoyuan County is in charge of Mei Shuyan, the investigation is very strict, Ye Lanying is so troublesome, if it is another county guard, it is naturally not this method.
The shopkeeper of the Zhaoyuan cloth pile was frightened, saying that his owner didn't know anything, and asked Master Mei to investigate it carefully, it was all the proprietress who advocated independently, and the owner of the cloth pile had the grace of knowing the shopkeeper, so the shopkeeper also relied on helping Mei Shuyan to estimate the damage to the cloth this time and risked his life to intercede.
Under Mei Shuyan's careful investigation, there was really nothing wrong with the owner of the Zhaoyuan pile, and naturally he would not be convicted of implication.
The old woman bit out the informant, atoned for her sins, and killed herself headbutt, saving the life of his grandson's young man. Mei Shuyan immediately announced the verdict, and the three generations of young people were not allowed to enter the imperial examination. This sentence is not light, it can be regarded as depriving him of the road to fame.
As for those people in the Taoist temple, all of them were put into the prison, and when he went to the capital to listen to the will to convict, whether to cut off his head or exile, and about the small gang formed by beggars, he was very troubled, and later Zhu Gong came up with a plan, which was incorporated by the government, and could be sent to the imperial court to dig coal, iron, etc., which not only punished them, but also solved their food and clothing problems, so as not to cause trouble.
Mei Shuyan frowned, said "great kindness", and then waited for Mei Shuyu's news to arrive, and personally sent Zhu Gong out of the city.
This big case was originally discovered by Yun Chi passing by accident, but when the stolen goods were exposed, it shocked the world.
