Chapter 281: Annihilation
When it was over, only the sound of retching echoed.
Fortunately, Zheng Xiong is not watching alone, nor is Zheng Xiong retching alone, but it is not so eye-catching.
I don't know how long it took for Zheng Xiongfang to recover and look into the distance with his eyes blank.
Where am I, what am I going to do, it's like I've lost my memory for a moment.
The same is true for the hundred officials, and the execution process is extremely long, and those who can't bear it still sit on the ground limply, allowing filth to stain their bodies.
From the afternoon, all the way to the palm lamp, from the miserable screams to the faint smell of the breath.
I don't know how many years have passed, and I don't know how many years have passed.
I don't know when, a voice appeared in front of Lao Zhu.
"Your Majesty, the execution is over, and both of them have died of anger."
Lao Zhu, who looked like a sculpture, turned his neck and looked sideways at Mao Xiang.
"Oh, dead? Cheaper for them!"
"Let's pull up the people of Liufu and the relatives of the head of the driving department, all the men are cut, and the female dependents are cut except for the girls who are filled into the teaching department, and the rest are also cut, immediately, and immediately executed."
"No."
The square, which was originally silent, woke up the hundred officials again with the sound of crying and begging for mercy.
Before they could recover their senses, the executioners on the stage raised their knives and fell, and their heads rolled down.
The military officials who received the gifts nearby looked at the heads that were close at hand, and completely collapsed at this moment.
Crazy, completely insane.
Yelling and going crazy.
There's nothing like this that hits people more than that.
As if foreshadowing his own fate.
Not only those who are close, but also some who have ghosts in their hearts.
This execution seemed to have broken the last line of defense of these people, and they became incontinent.
In addition to the smell of blood, there is also the smell of stomach acid in the whole square, and now there is some stinky smell added to it, which is extremely sour.
Seeing this scene, Lao Zhu's expression finally changed a little, as if he had reached his psychological expectations, and eased somewhat.
"Mao Xiang, bring these officials who received gifts to me."
"Yes."
These mentally lost military officials had no resistance in front of Lao Zhu's personal guards, and when they saw Lao Zhu, they seemed to have hope, and kowtowed to Lao Zhu incessantly.
"Your Majesty, don't kill me, Wechen will hand over the gift money, no, return it twice, I just ask Your Majesty to spare a small life of Wechen."
Kowtowing is like pounding garlic, panicking.
Lao Zhu suddenly showed a smile and said very kindly.
"I won't kill you, as long as you explain the dirty things in the military department, it's not difficult!"
"It's not difficult, it's not difficult, Weichen said."
"Mao Xiang, you take them down to make a record, no matter how big or small, let's remember it."
"No."
It was only at this time that Lao Zhu Fang slowly stood up and moved his muscles.
Looking at the pale-faced officials around him, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief and said.
"You've worked hard, let's have a banquet today, let's all come together!"
The matter finally came to an end, and for a whole day, except for a little breakfast in the morning, not a drop of water entered.
Suddenly hearing Lao Zhu's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said yes.
However, the body was unresponsive, and it wasted a lot of strength, but it was unmoved, as if it had taken root, and was fixed on the ground.
Zheng Xiong's eyes are glazed, and the same is true, although he is young, don't forget that there are still injuries in his body.
At this time, it has long been unbearable.
Like a marionette, following the current, he approached the main hall.
Fortunately, the environment inside is much better than the outside, and after a while, Zheng Xiong finally got a little back.
There was a sparkle in his eyes.
But today's Lao Zhu obviously doesn't want everyone to have a good time.
There is promised food, but it is all meat.
Zheng Xiong picked up a piece of meat, looked at it casually, didn't know what he thought of, and he retched with another wow.
The same is true for a large part of the hundred officials, especially the ones outside the hall, which are sour and authentic.
Now it's okay, I didn't eat a piece of meat, and after the blessing of this meat, after all, some people couldn't bear it anymore, and they couldn't afford it.
That's it, Lao Zhu hasn't let everyone go.
After eating calmly, Lao Zhu took the information from Mao Xiang and read it carefully.
The little of the Ministry of War, in front of these frightened officials of the Ministry of War, every detail, was presented in front of Lao Zhu without reservation.
There is no doubt that the military department Shangshu received gift money.
What matters is whether there are other things, and the negligence and malfeasance are not serious.
As a result, everyone spoke in the same voice, and the final results all revolved around the military department.
If you take the gift money, you have to do things, and the military department is no exception, and you don't care about the report.
Moreover, he specially said a sentence that confirmed the inaction of the military department and the ironclad evidence of accepting bribes.
No word is worth a word.
"In the future, many matters of the Ministry of War must not be reported to the higher levels, and they will be sent back to the Ministry of Officials in violation of regulations."
This sentence may have shown authority at the time, but from the current point of view, it undoubtedly confirms the fact that the military department Shangshu accepted bribes.
It's not just one or two people, it's everyone who says so.
Lao Zhu was quite calm, his voice was very loud, and his words filled the ears of the ministers.
"Mao Xiang, you take someone, and you will copy the mansion of the military department secretary to us tonight."
"No."
When everyone heard this, their eyes turned black, and there was another wave of unsettled, which was endless, and it was really unbearable.
However, Lao Zhu did not continue this matter.
What can be eaten is eaten, and what cannot be eaten is dying.
Lao Zhu was also ruthless and considerate, and let everyone go.
"Everyone, it's been hard today, go back and rest, and we'll meet tomorrow morning."
What kind of demon can say the words, everyone is numb, but fortunately, there is a little buffer, and he said immediately.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live."
Relieved, with a heavy heart and a heavy body, the crowd slowly moved back home.
Zheng Xiong, who was completely empty, was also arranged by Lao Zhu and sent back to his home, which was very intimate.
At Zheng Xiong's home, Zheng Qi and his family were anxiously waiting for Zheng Xiong.
When he saw Zheng Xiong returning, he breathed a sigh of relief, it was really a change in Beijing, and a large number of officials were called to the palace, which was uneasy.
Therefore, Zheng Xiong's delay in returning also overwhelmed his family.
Zheng Xiong's appearance was really miserable, half-dead, Han Yue'er couldn't help but cry when she saw Zheng Xiong's appearance.
Zheng Xiong really didn't want to speak, and he didn't explain much to his family, so he was helped into his room by Wei Hong.
Although the family members are puzzled, they can only hold back the doubts in their hearts and wait for the next day to ask.
Early the next morning, Zheng Xiong had not yet recovered his spirits, and had to drag his heavy body to the palace.
It's really too heavy a psychological shadow, and I dream of this scene at night, and I woke up several times in the middle of the night.
This matter has not passed, so I can only get up early to go to the court to see the situation.
This early dynasty made Zheng Xiong's heart even heavier.
As he passed by the palace gate, a corpse stood in the doorway.
Take a closer look, it was Liu Qian, who was executed, and he thought it was a corpse fraud? It scared a lot of people.
But it's not much better, and when it was introduced as a specimen made by skinning and grass, I felt even more terrible.
The early dynasty was also a follow-up treatment, the military department was cut down, and the whole family was exiled.
As long as they received more than 60 taels of gifts, none of them were spared, and they were all punished according to corruption and cut down.
The rest of those who did not return the gifts were all exiled.
The entire military department was almost served in one pot.
