Yangzhou City, upstairs in the south of the Yangtze River.

Guan Huaigong's eyes flickered.

And a brocade-clothed guard beside him and Zhu Fan had already poked his head out to look downstairs.

"King Qin's order."

"Slash!"

With an order, the officials of Yangzhou Mansion, who had already been escorted to Jiangnan Tower, wailed for a while.

But the voices soon stopped.

After a little.

Outside the Jiangnan Building, there was no sound.

The people of Yangzhou City, who had already heard the movement and were secretly watching from a distance, had fear in their eyes.

Just a cup of tea, almost all the officials in Yangzhou Mansion were beheaded.

The officials of the Yangzhou Prefecture who had participated in the assessment of the 18 government officials of Nanzhili before, looked at the colleagues and officials of the Ben Ya from a distance, and their heads were cut off by the superiors in Beijing, and the bloody heads rolled to the ground.

Because there were so many people, these heads that rolled on the ground were crowded and collided together.

A wave of heat swept through, and the smell of blood made the crowd quietly watching from a distance send a burst of vomiting.

Yangzhou Mansion went up to the Lianghuai Governor Salt Transfer Envoy and down to the county officials, and almost all the troops were wiped out.

The bloody scene seems to have draped the towering Jiangnan Tower with a layer of red blood.

It was obviously a high sun, but it made the spectators only feel cold and gloomy.

Jiangnan upstairs.

Guan Huaigong's eyelids trembled.

He couldn't control his slightly trembling legs, and lowered his hands to press them on the outside of his thighs.

It was just a matter of breathing, Guan Huaigong's lips were already white without a trace of blood, his breathing was heavy and difficult, and his pupils contracted violently because of fear in his widened eyes.

Smell......

Standing under the window, Zhu Fan put his hands on the railing and took a deep breath outside.

Guan Huaigong's face became even more ugly.

He actually saw a look of enjoyment on King Qin's face.

The young petty officer shuddered violently.

Zhu Fan already looked at it with a faint gaze: "Do you know why this king did this?" ”

At this moment, Zhu Zhang, in the eyes of Guan Huaigong, is a demon with a mouth full of blood.

His eyes were a little evasive, he lowered his head and took a deep breath, and his voice was a little trembling: "The prince is going to cut the mess quickly." ”

"That's right." Zhu Fan seemed very relaxed.

Downstairs in Jiangnan, there are less than a thousand heads, which is nothing.

Zhu Fan continued: "In addition to the Yamen of the prefecture and county in Yangzhou Mansion, there are also two other Huai Governor Salt Transfer Envoy Yamen and Caoyun Governor Yamen, all of which were under the jurisdiction of the imperial court in the past. Although Zou Xueyu became the governor of governance, he could only mediate and fight against these yamen.

And Yangzhou Mansion has the largest number of absentees this time, as if these people acquiesced behind their backs. Kill them, as a matter of course. Kill them, Zou Xueyu wants to continue to implement innovation in Nanzhili, and there will be a lot less resistance.

But more importantly, there is another point. ”

Guan Huaigong swallowed silently.

He really had a hard time accepting the scene in front of him.

"Next...... The lower officials don't know ......"

Zhu Fan smiled, stretched out his hand and patted Guan Huaigong's shoulder: "Actually, the most important thing is that this king doesn't want them to live." ”

The reason is simple.

It was so simple that Guan Huaigong couldn't believe the explanation he heard.

But at this moment, he was extremely convinced that the reasons that His Royal Highness King Qin said before were irrelevant at all, and the most important or only reason was that His Royal Highness King Qin wanted to kill these people in Yangzhou City.

Guan Huaigong closed his mouth tightly, his throat was a little choked and twitching, and a smell of blood seemed to gush out of his abdomen, pressed by him.

Zhu Fan laughed heroically, and the hand on Guan Huaigong's shoulder slapped it a few times.

"You have to get used to it, the old saying that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, why are you afraid of even looking at some blood?"

Guan Huaigong bowed his head deeply: "Xiaguan...... Xiaguan is just a little ......"

Zhu Fan waved his hand: "We're just at the end of the place, and there are still several places to run." Teach you in advance, the more afraid you are of such a scene, but you feel uncomfortable, the more you want to watch it, and the more you have to open your nose on the spot and smell the blood. When you see more and smell more, not to mention that you are not in a hurry, you will feel fragrant even when you hold the rice bowl, and you will eat extraordinarily. ”

Zhu Rong's face was full of smugness and smiles.

And Guan Huaigong finally couldn't hold it anymore, and rushed to the building with a sudden rush, holding a basin that he didn't know what it was used for, and opened his mouth and spit it out.

Zhu Fan seemed to be a gentle and kind uncle next door at this time.

"Take a sip of wine and be bold."

As he spoke, Zhu Fan had already handed over a glass of wine to Guan Huaigong.

Guan Huaigong: "......"

The young man couldn't help but roll his eyes, he had never seen anyone feeding water and soup to take care of people, but he had never seen anyone feeding wine.

Zhu Fan sat aside with a smile.

"When this king was as old as you, he had already led people out of the pass, drinking the blood of captives and eating the flesh of chieftains. The heads of the people are like mountains, sitting on them, holding the meat in their hands, drunk and lying to death, extremely happy. ”

As he spoke, Zhu Fan held a pot of wine in his hand, raised his head and poured it into his mouth.

The wine trickled down his lips, and his neck and chest were wet.

Zhu Fan wiped his mouth and patted Guan Huaigong's back again.

"Take a sip! Nothing is left! ”

But when he slapped it, Guan Huaigong almost vomited out his entire stomach.

After a long while, Guan Huaigong sat on the ground weakly, looking up at His Royal Highness the King of Qin, who was still carrying the wine jug to him.

Guan Huaigong was ruthless, took the wine jug, pulled out the jug with great effort, held the wine jug with both hands, and poured the wine into his stomach with his head up.

After a few sips, a pot of wine was swallowed into Guan Huaigong's stomach.

He had a long hiccup, his face flushed and his eyes bloodshot when he lowered his head.

Zhu Fan pinched the fried beans, stuffed them into his mouth one by one, and looked at the young man in front of him calmly with his eyes.

After half a ring.

Guan Huaigong let out a long breath and shouted.

"Color!"

Zhu Fan's calm face gradually became vivid.

He laughed out loud: "Keep drinking!" ”

Guan Huaigong no longer felt sick and uncomfortable at this time, stared at his eyes, and sat on the chair with both hands clutching the table.

"Drink!"

"Cooking sheep and slaughtering cattle for pleasure will require three hundred cups of drink!"

Zhu Zhang's face was bright, and he reached out and moved a plate of fish soup and lamb leg on the table to Guan Huaigong, and grabbed a handful of garlic from the side and slapped it in front of the young man.

"How can you drink wine without meat!"

"Gulp!"

Guan Huaigong was now full of alcohol, and the wine completely wet the placket on his chest, but he slapped the table with both hands: "Okay!" ”

Upstairs in Jiangnan, the exquisite wine and food prepared by Yangzhou Mansion were swept aside by Zhu Shuang, and his personal soldiers brought pots of beef and mutton from the back kitchen.

The drinks are even more expensive and brought up from downstairs.

Wine jugs and jars were scattered all over the floor.

This meal was drunk until it was late.

Guan Huaigong was a young man after all, and he was too strong to drink, lying softly in the middle of a pile of beef and sheep bones, his mouth was pouted high, and his tongue was stretched out as if he wanted to reach into the wine jug that fell in front of him.

His hands hung limply, shaking for a while.

Guan Huaigong's eyes were confused, his vision was blurred, but his mouth muttered from time to time.

"Drink ......"

"Drink ...... then"

"A thousand cups are not drunk."

"Lord Wang, you also drink, don't play tricks......"

“……”

Zhu Fan was leaning back on the chair at this time, looking out the window at the orange-red sunset spilling into the building.

At this time, the light seems to have taken on a shape.

A few puffs of smoke twisted and tumbled in the light.

He had also been drinking today, but now his eyes gradually became clearer.

As Zhu Fan beckoned, the guards brought a bowl of sobering soup, which he drank down.

Except for a little redness on Zhu Fan's face, he didn't look like he had drunk too much wine at all.

He glanced at Guan Huaigong lying on the table, and smiled slightly.

Young people are like this, they like to drink hard and drink fast.

A few pots of wine are in the stomach, and before the person can react, the stomach and intestines will absorb the wine, how can you not get drunk fast and wake up slowly.

The commander of the three guards of the Qin Palace's mansion stood aside, watching the prince stand up and walk to the window.

"Lord Wang, all the officials in Yangzhou City have been beheaded, and now there are only more than 100 officials left, and the news has been sent to the sky."

Zhu Fan looked down at Jiang Nan downstairs.

The nearly 1,000 heads and corpses had been cleaned up, and only a few water stains on the ground were reflected in the surrounding buildings.

In the canal under the courtyard wall, some blood-red soft bodies can be faintly seen.

The temperature was slightly cool, and the smell of blood wafted from the corners only occasionally.

At this moment, Yangzhou City is quiet like a woman in an ink painting in the south of the Yangtze River, hazy and beautiful.

Zhu Fan said in a low voice: "Let the people from the Yangzhou Tax Department take over the important military and political affairs of Yangzhou first, and when the people sent by the imperial court arrive, Yangzhou will almost be stabilized." ”

The commander of the palace guard, who acted as a personal guard, nodded, and said in a low voice: "I'm afraid that the prince won't be able to wait to return to Beijing this time, and he will receive the news of impeachment from the imperial court again." ”

Zhu Fan smiled faintly: "Then the cabinet has to thank this king, how much firewood this king has saved for them to heat in winter." ”

A smile immediately appeared on the face of the Guardian Commander.

Zhu Fan turned around, looked at Guan Huaigong, who was still lying on the table, frowned, and said, "Carry him to rest." Young man, it would be good to see blood a few more times. When you see blood again, you can be silent, and you will be able to take on a big responsibility. ”

The commander of the guards smiled on his face and said in a low voice: "Zou Dutai has to remember the favor of the prince this time." ”

Zhu Fan pouted: "He Zou Xueyu can do a good errand for our Daming, even if he returns the favor of this king." Train students for him, isn't it for me to train the Ming Dynasty to be a talented minister. ”

The Captain of the Guards smiled.

The prince's words are not false.

What happened in Yangzhou City soon spread throughout Zhili Dao.

On the first day that Qin Wangye entered the city, he beheaded the officials in the entire Yangzhou city, and almost slaughtered the officials with less than 100 people left, which made the officials of Zhili Dao tremble and panic for a while, and everyone was in danger.

Now everyone knows that the imperial court's large-scale absence of the 18 officials of Nanzhili has been handed over to the King of Qin for investigation.

It's a knife hanging over everyone's heads.

Today, the knife fell in Yangzhou Mansion, and all the officials who cut it were killed, and there were few officials left.

Tomorrow, who knows where this knife will be swung from Yangzhou Mansion.

As a result, the impeachment movement poured into the capital like snowflakes from all over the country.

Many timid officials did not write the impeachment recital for the coming year, but directly wrote a resignation letter and sent it to Beijing as soon as possible, so that they could dare to resign from their official positions and return to their hometowns to retire before the knife that fell on their heads in Yangzhou Mansion.

And in Beijing.

When the news arrived, the people of the court were also trembling.

Even a few years ago, when the imperial court implemented the new policy of apportioning the land into the mu and Hongwu, there were many cases in the local area, and they were convicted and beheaded, but there has never been a thing where so many people were cut at once.

Nearly a thousand heads were cut off at a time like this, and the last time was in the empty seal case and the Guo Heng case.

A Yangzhou Mansion has cut nearly 1,000 people, and the entire Zhili Road will not cut tens of thousands of people!

For a time, even the three law divisions that have been ruling with heavy codes in recent years have many officials who have written to King Qin too brutally.

At this time, it was already afternoon in Beijing, and it was almost time for the yamen of the various divisions to go down.

Wang Xinling hurriedly rushed out of the yamen of the political envoy, stood in front of the yamen and glanced around, and then continued to rush in the direction of the right gate of Chang'an.

In a few days, Wang Xinling entered the imperial city, passed through the Chengtian Gate, the Duan Gate, and the Noon Gate, and entered the palace.

Turn to the left and go to the cabinet.

Wang Xinling glanced at the cabinet room that had been lit with candles, took a deep breath and turned to the front of the public room next to the cabinet room.

Bang bang bang.

There was a knock on the door.

There was a voice in the room from Bai Yuxiu in the Ministry of Writing.

"Enter."

Wang Xinling walked in and closed the door by the way.

"Are the people on the list of the Ministry of Literature and Literature Division still enough?"

Bai Yuxiu was reviewing the cabinet at this time, and he wanted to fill in the officials for the various departments and yamen in Yangzhou City today.

Hearing Wang Xinling's inquiry, he raised his head and said with a smile: "It's enough, don't worry." ”

With the implementation of the public examination system, the imperial court has not only filled the official vacancies accumulated in previous years in the past two years, but also reserved many officials who have not yet been awarded official positions for the imperial court.

As soon as there are suitable vacancies in the DPRK and the localities and in the localities, these officials who have passed the public examination system and are observing the administration of the DPRK and the DPRK will be able to immediately fill them.

A more complete reserve system for officials has already begun to be built.

Wang Xinling took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to the senior.

"This is the news I just received, you can take a look first."

Bai Yuxiu was a little puzzled, picked up the piece of paper, and looked down.

Wang Xinling was worried: "It should have been known to the Imperial Court tomorrow, but I think this matter is probably very serious, so I'll tell you first."

Our Royal Highness the King of Qin, this time he is really going to kill the 18 mansions of Zhili.

He had just been killed in Yangzhou City, and now he had gone to Suzhou Mansion and Songjiang Mansion to behead him.

Nearly 1,500 officials in the two prefectures were beheaded, more than 500 households were confiscated, and nearly 8,000 people were implicated pending conviction by the imperial court. ”

Wang Xinling spoke quickly.

Then he searched the table, picked up a cup of teacup that I didn't know if it was Bai Yuxiu's use, and drank it tons.

Bai Yuxiu, who looked at the content on the paper, also took a deep breath at this time.

Wang Xinling sneered: "Senior, do you still have enough manpower to fill these vacancies in the Anthology Division now?" ”
