Chapter 1142: Reward and Reckoning (Final)
"Wronged......
Suddenly, there were cries, cries, cries, begs for mercy, and scolding...... Filled the entire dungeon.
Everyone knew what they were going to face, and their hearts were naturally filled with fear and anger.
No one will feel that they deserve it, they only feel that they are so wronged, and they are about to be sentenced to death by the court when they have no fault, which is really the biggest grievance in the world.
Before, maybe only the children of the Hao clan were crying, but now even those slaves and maids are crying loudly.
In this regard, Liang Wentong was indifferent at all, and only glanced coldly at Wang Yujie, who was completely silent, and then left a sentence at the end: "Two days later, all of you will be taken out of the heavenly prison and beheaded in public on Suzaku Street in the outer city of Luoyang!"
After dropping this sentence, he shook his hand and left, leaving thousands of people in prison there for a day, howling and helpless.
At the same time that Liang Wentong was telling those Hao people what would happen to them next, the imperial court had also posted relevant notices on the streets and city gates of Luoyang.
Although Luoyang has only changed hands for two or three days, everything in the city has quickly calmed down, and the people can finally go out of their homes again and live back to the previous stable days.
This is due to the various arrangements and strict orders formulated by Sun Ning after entering the city.
For example, after those soldiers and horses entered the city, except for guarding important positions such as gates and warehouses, the rest of the horses were placed in the original military camp, and all the soldiers and generals were not allowed to come out without orders.
Of course, the imperial court did not treat these officers and soldiers with outstanding merits badly, although they were left in the camp, but all kinds of food, wine and food were naturally enough, and even specially collected a group of opera artists such as juggling in the city and sent them to the barracks to perform specifically for the soldiers.
Then, a group of people with outstanding ability and conduct were selected from these generals and incorporated into the forbidden army, which was specially used to maintain law and order in Luoyang City.
It was under this arrangement that Luoyang City quickly restored its original order. And after seeing that nothing seemed to have changed much, the people began to try to get out of their homes and live their old lives.
In this way, just two or three days later, Luoyang was rejuvenated.
At this time, official notices were posted one after another, telling everyone that they were going to behead a group of local wealthy people led by the Wang family, which naturally attracted the amazement and attention of the whole city.
Too many people have been persecuted and exploited by these wealthy families, but it is only because the other party is too powerful that even the government is complicit with it, and the people have no way to tell it, so everyone can only swallow their anger.
And now, the first thing the imperial court did when it returned to Luoyang was to be angry for everyone and kill all these Luoyang disasters, which was really enough for everyone to run to tell each other and celebrate.
Therefore, after two days, when the official execution of this criminal was about to be executed, almost the entire people of Luoyang City walked out of their homes and poured into the streets, and came to the vicinity of Suzaku Street.
For a time, hundreds of thousands of people appeared in this area of the outer city, almost paralyzing the traffic in the entire area.
Fortunately, Sun Ning was also prepared early, and sent an army of tens of thousands of people to control the scene and guide it early, so as not to cause an embarrassing scene where even the prisoners could not be escorted to the execution ground.
And when the more than 1,000 prisoners were escorted by thousands of officers and soldiers, and they were really taken to the execution ground, the scene was even louder with shouts and swearing.
Countless stones, mud and rotten vegetables were rained down on the heads of the prisoners, and if it weren't for the soldiers and horses guarding the surroundings, these excited and angry crowds would have been able to come on the scene in person and tear Wang Yujie and the other prisoners apart on the spot.
At this time, these children of the wealthy families who have been pampered all their lives and have always been high in the sky have all been driven like the walking dead and keep moving forward.
The mess was thrown at them, and these people were completely unfeeling. Because two days was enough to break the last line of defense in their hearts, and they completely fell into despair.
Seeing this scene, I watched them being escorted to their knees and waiting to be lifted from behind
The executioner with the ghost-headed knife was executed, and everyone once again let out a series of cheers, which was really more joyful than the New Year.
Although Liang Wentong, who was sitting on the platform, looked solemn, he could not hide his excitement in his eyes.
This is what he dreams of, after today, those wealthy families in the world who occupy the property of the people and oppress the innocent people will not dare to do evil anymore because of fear.
As the hour came to three o'clock in the afternoon, he no longer hesitated, and immediately read aloud the many evil deeds committed by these prisoners, and then ticked off the sign in public, and threw it with all his might: "Kill everyone!"
Boom......
Rows of steel knives swung up and then fell, and then rows of human heads fell to the ground, corpses fell sideways, and a large amount of blood rolled out.
But even so, so many pending prisoners could not be solved at one time, so the executioners raised and lowered their knives again and again.
More than 100 executioners swept down ten times before they finally killed all the more than 1,000 criminals in front of everyone.
At that moment, the heads and corpses were piled up in this cross street into a small mountain, and the blood was even more pooled and flowed towards the lower place, making everyone dumbfounded.
It's not like there hasn't been such killings before, but that's all on the battlefield.
Today, however, it is an execution, killing thousands of people at once, and its impact on all viewers is unimaginable.
Taking advantage of such a deterrent, Liang Wentong announced the next arrangements of the imperial court in public: "Your Majesty has a decree that after the execution of these prisoners, all the land and property in their names will be returned to the imperial court.
"The court will then return the property to their former owners, based on previous records. And if it is an ownerless thing, it will also be fairly distributed to every person in the hands of the local people in Luoyang in the next six months.
"In the future, Dayue will no longer be the world of these wealthy families who only know how to take advantage of it, but the world of ordinary people such as us!"
As soon as this matter was announced, it was quickly passed on and spread, and the surrounding people were silent at first, and then there was an earth-shattering cheer. Look at the book
In the end, the cheers turned into a consistent and neat banzai shout, and the neat hoop shouts of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of people, spread in all directions, until they crossed the outer city, entered the inner city, and then spread far into the imperial city, and reached the ears of Sun Ning, who was standing in front of the ruined temple.
