For corrupt officials and corrupt officials, there is only one word for killing.

It is different from partisanship, and it is also different from threatening people, this is hatred from the heart.

In the first year of Yuan Wenzong's Tianli, Zhu Yuanzhang was born in a poor peasant family.

In the third year of Zheng, there was a drought in Haozhou.

The following spring there was another severe plague of locusts and pestilence.

In less than half a month, Zhu Yuanzhang's father, eldest brother and mother passed away one after another, leaving only Zhu Yuanzhang and his second brother.

And Zhu Yuanzhang had no money to buy a coffin because his family was poor, and he didn't even have a piece of land to bury his relatives, so in the end, his neighbor Liu Jizu gave them a cemetery.

It can be said that when Zhu Yuanzhang saw these corrupt officials and corrupt officials, he thought of his parents and brothers who were starved to death because the officials did not open warehouses in time to release grain and help the people, and he thought of the embarrassment that he was powerless at that time.

Now, he is already the emperor, and as the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, other things can be put aside, but this matter must not be delayed.

What's more, he is the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, it can be said that this country is in urgent need of cultivation and recuperation because of the withering of the people of the Warring States for many years, and there is not much silver in his hands.

In addition to this, it can be said that the emperor who can really empathize with him and know the hardships of the people's livelihood is Lao Zhu.

The other founding emperors, which one is not worry-free about food and clothing, and even if it is not good, it will not be unable to eat.

Lao Zhu is the most miserable, so he hates corrupt officials and inactive officials the most.

Now these two people are not only corrupt, damaging the public and private, not only damaging the interests of the Ming Dynasty, but more seriously, the defeat of a war may cause more serious turmoil.

It was already intolerable, and now it is even more intolerable.

In the field, hundreds of officials were serious.

In the second year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang was furious when he looked at the expenses handed over by the household department, and pointed to the household department Shangshu who was kneeling on the ground and shouted.

"In the past, when I was a common man, I saw corrupt officials and corrupt officials ignoring the suffering of the people, and I hated them in my heart, and in the future, I must strictly prohibit them by legislation, and I will never forgive those corrupt officials who dare to harm the people!"

When the ministers saw Zhu Yuanzhang lose such a temper, they immediately knelt down, and then Zhu Yuanzhang issued the most "picky" decree in history, and anyone who embezzled more than 60 taels of silver would be killed.

Now, with the two people in the field, the consequences are already predictable.

Baiguan also knew in his heart that the two of them were not saved, and if there was no accident, they would basically die.

When things came to this point, Lao Zhu didn't rush to deal with it, but said to Mao Xiang beside him.

"Go and call all the officials in Beijing, all who have entered the ranks, come over."

"Yes."

After explaining such a sentence, Lao Zhu did not continue to speak, and the hundred officials did not dare to move.

As the minutes passed, the officials who had been notified gradually appeared on the square until the square was filled.

Mao Xiang came belatedly and reported the situation to Lao Zhu.

"Your Majesty, except for a few who have not been found, everyone else has arrived."

"Put a few people in the book, and when the time comes, check where they are."

"No."

"Also, the officials of the military department who accept gifts, as long as they receive more than Liu Qian's usual gifts, they will be singled out for us and put them in front of Liu Qian and the others."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The two asked and answered, and after Mao Xiang listened, he went out again and meticulously completed Lao Zhu's order.

After the preparations were completed, Lao Zhu sat on the dragon chair and spoke slowly.

"At the beginning of the second year, we said that anyone who embezzled sixty taels would be put to death."

"But corruption is not uncommon, and it happens from time to time."

"Today, our squire of the military department, the director of the driving department, has made nearly 10,000 yuan of profits from the military department."

"A good horse for a bad horse, hehe, he dared to do it for us."

"Some people may think that our knives are dull, or rusty,

Don't take our words seriously."

"Today, I will show you that my sword is not good."

"And it's not just good, it's fast."

"Spread my will, Liu Qian, the squire of the military department, harms the public and private interests, corrupts the law, and the crime is unforgivable."

"Now first skin it, then cut its flesh, and then you can do it."

"The head of the driving department belongs to Liu Qian's accomplices, and he will not be pardoned."

"Punishment is Ling Chi, a thousand cuts, in order to set an example, and the execution can be carried out."

There are two different punishments, and they are the most painful.

As soon as Lao Zhu's punishment came out, everyone, including the crumbling courtiers, suddenly recovered their spirits.

Some were calm, some were frightened, and some couldn't bear it, so they went limp directly, and I don't know if it was physical or psychological weakness.

The officers of the military department, who were specially instructed by Lao Zhu to watch the ceremony in front, had frightened expressions on their faces.

Knowing the final result, Liu Qian and the director of the driving department also collapsed.

It's okay to have a knife, but I can't stand many sins, and now the punishment of slashing alive will not be able to die for a while, I can only watch the vitality pass little by little, and I have to bear inhuman pain.

I can't stand it, I can't stand it at all.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are guilty of a serious crime, and they don't want to live, but they ask for a good time, and they ask Your Majesty to be merciful!"

Shouting hoarsely, Lao Zhu was not moved at all, and with the execution of the person on stage, time seemed to be frozen, and it passed extremely slowly.

Baiguan's eyes beat fiercely as the first knife fell.

Blood was left behind, staining the ground red.

Liu Qian was stabbed from the back, splitting the skin in half along his spine, and then slowly tearing it apart like a butterfly spreading its wings.

This scene alone made some people unbearable and retched on the ground.

And Ling Chi was not comfortable, he cut it off with a knife, and gradually became unrecognizable.

Both are capital punishments, one is unbearable, let alone two.

As time passed, more and more people retched on the ground, which was a great torment for both the stage and the audience.

Lao Zhu was unmoved, he didn't even blink his eyelids, the only thing that can be compared with Lao Zhu is the generals, after all, they all came out of the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, this face is just pediatrics, but the face is also twitching.

Zheng Xiong was in the side hall, bored, noon had passed, but it still didn't work.

Under Jing Ji's thoughts, he moved his legs and walked outside step by step.

When the guards saw Zheng Xiong walking out, they didn't care much, just sent someone to follow.

There was no one in the main hall, so he walked out of the hall step by step, and just saw a group of people looking into the distance.

Zheng Xiong, the retching crowd, didn't look carefully, didn't think much about it, and was driven by curiosity to look at the two people who were executed on the high platform first.

Although the distance is far away, the two bloody figures are still clearly visible.

The appearance of not being humanoid immediately made Zheng Xiong wow, and all the little residue left in the morning gushed out.

After that, there was no way to vomit, and even the sour water did not escape.
