Pyongyang City.

The vegetable market, which is lively and noisy on weekdays, is even more crowded today, and it is very lively.

A large number of soldiers in armor and spears, waiting in battle, lined up in a circle, isolating the people who were watching outside. Among the common people, there are not only aunts carrying vegetable baskets, but also rich people in gorgeous clothes, and well-mannered scholars.

They're looking at the heads.

In the middle of the soldiers was a simple wooden torture platform.

The warden sat at the back of the desk, looking up at the sun frequently.

In front of him was a row of kneeling people, all kneeling on the ground in prison uniforms, with their names written on their collars.

The main culprit was Liu Yichun, the former Marquis of the Jin Dynasty, with eight sons, ten grandsons, twelve clansmen, and nine evil slaves.

After the county magistrate Cui Yue investigated, he sentenced these people to be executed, their homes were raided, their wives and daughters, and their underage children and grandchildren were not allowed to enter the government as official maids.

After Wu Nian's review, Zhu Bi Yu approved.

"Exactly."

The dignified Dingfang Hou family has multiplied for more than ten generations, and as for the powerful Liu family, which is countless and powerful, it has almost been wiped out, and it will never be able to turn over.

Liu Yichun and the others didn't struggle, they struggled, cried, and pleaded with someone. But there was no response.

There is only one ending, a decisive decision.

"I didn't expect that I would be beheaded with my sons when I was old after enjoying decades of glory and wealth. His wife, daughter, and grandson became other people's slaves, and the family business was robbed by Wu Nian. I have been trying my best to loot the people's fat and ointment all these years, and finally became a wedding dress for Wu Nian, why am I? ”

Liu Yichun recalled his life, fresh clothes and angry horses, jade food and beautiful women, and then looked down at the prison uniform he was wearing now, he couldn't help but feel sad from his heart, and his hatred was also fast.

"Wu Nian. I curse you to cut off your children and grandchildren. Liu Yichun's blue veins on his forehead burst out, and he looked up to the sky and roared angrily.

The warden and the axeman, as well as the soldiers present, were furious.

"When death is imminent, it dares to run rampant. Someone came, chopped off his ten fingers. The warden snapped.

"Yes." A soldier was indignant, pulled out the steel knife at his waist, and walked towards Liu Yichun.

Liu Yichun sneered, raised his head and said, "I'm dying, are you still afraid of cutting off your fingers?" Come on, call me the turtle son. ”

After the soldiers helped him untie him, he even stretched out his fingers and asked the soldiers to cut them.

But when a finger was chopped off, Liu Yichun let out a miserable scream and said bitterly: "Ahhh Spare me, spare me. It hurts me, it hurts me. ”

Ten fingers connected to the heart, chopping off ten fingers is more painful and torturous than cutting off the head.

The soldier's face was indifferent, and he had no intention of stopping, and chopped off Liu Yichun's fingers one by one.

Are you kidding.

He actually cursed our Han king to cut off his children and grandchildren? The Han Dynasty was prosperous, and the descendants of the Han Dynasty were prosperous.

When Liu Yichun lost ten fingers, collapsed on the ground, sweat like a waterfall, and his face was as white as gold paper, the soldiers were satisfied, reached out and wiped the steel knife on Liu Yichun's prison clothes, and then returned the knife into the sheath, jumped off the torture platform, and returned to the queue.

"It's really miserable. Dignified and determined. But how do I feel happy? ”

"Just be happy. On weekdays, there are many rampant people, and now how much they deserve it. Ignoring people's lives, bullying men and women, and taking advantage of them. There is nothing that these people dare not do. ”

"That's right. Now the adult males of the Dingfang Hou family and the strong people in the clan have also been killed. The wives and daughters have all become official maids, which is really relieving. I don't know what it's like for a dignified lady or a young lady to become someone else's slave? Hehe. ”

It is the common people who applaud it, and they are the ones who hate corrupt officials and lawless magnates the most.

Since ancient times, watching corrupt officials cut off their heads has been something that the people like to see.

"King Han is really decisive. We scholars don't want to get promoted and get rich. You have to think about doing things well. Otherwise, don't take the imperial examination, go home and farm. Otherwise, if you become a corrupt official, you will be stabbed sooner or later. ”

"yes. The Han Dynasty hated corrupt officials, and the criminal law was severe. Moreover, there is also a meritorious Cao Wang Youxiao in the court, known as Wang Yanwang. stared at the hundred officials with a pair of eyes open, supervising the civil and military. It's scary to think about. ”

The mood of the readers is more complicated.

Being an official is the ultimate dream of scholars, although most scholars can't even pass the exam. But that doesn't prevent them from thinking about it.

For the founding king, the reader both liked and hated.

I like the heroic and resolute of the founding king, but I hate that the founding king is too shrewd and not easy to fool.

The favorite of the reader is the obedient emperor.

That is, "sharing the world with scholars", "not punishing scholars" and so on.

What's wrong with being greedy for money?

What's wrong with lust for beauty?

And what's wrong with mediocrity and incompetence?

We studied hard in the cold window, once the high school emperor list, what happened to enjoy it?

All in all, the mood of the reader is mixed.

Originally, the magnates and clans of Goguryeo were different.

They don't have a good impression of Wu Nian at all.

A restaurant.

On the balcony on the second floor. The three magnates sat together, watching the fate of Liu Yichun, the Marquis of Dingfang, with a complex expression of resentment, helplessness and sadness on their faces.

The three of them are the heroes of the Kim Dynasty.

Li Ding, Zhang Xiang.

Kim clan.

Jin Yu.

The powerful all intermarry with each other, and the three of them have a very close blood relationship, and the relationship is also very iron, and they speak more casually.

Li Ding said: "It's really a compliment. When Wu Nian first broke through the city of Pyongyang, he treated us preferentially. Now it's baring its fangs. ”

Zhang Xiang and Jin Yu were suddenly shocked into a cold sweat, and then subconsciously looked to see if there were any eyes and ears around. I was relieved to see that there was no one around.

Zhang Xiang reprimanded: "It's not the same time now, be cautious in your words and deeds." ”

"That's right. Be careful that you also end up with Liu Yichun. Jin Yu also said with a solemn face.

"Hey." Li Ding let out a long sigh and stopped talking.

Not only Liu Yichun, but many people have been arrested.

All three were feathered clean or relatively clean, so there was nothing to do. But he also handed over a lot of property, slaves and maids.

Even if you are not a miser, if you are cut off most of your family property and become "poor", it will be heart-wrenching.

What's more, the powerful and wealthy married each other, and many of their relatives were arrested. The Liu Yichun in front of him is one of them.

How not to be sad?

How not to be resentful of Wu Nian?

But it can't be helped.

When the dust settles, resistance will only lead to a miserable death.

"I heard that Wu Nian is going to have a military parade. Goguryeo village chiefs, prominent figures in the village, or squires and the like, I am afraid that thousands of people will come to Pyongyang City to watch the military parade. He must be in Gangseong, Yingqingfu, and he is not in Goguryeo, worried about the situation in Goguryeo. So use the army to deter people. ”

"You say. Does the Kim family still have a chance? Li Ding looked around, and then asked carefully.
