Just as Jia Cong expected, Feng Tang, the general of Datong Town and the general of Shenwu, did not even hesitate at all after receiving Jia Cong's order, and directly mobilized 10,000 elite cavalry, one person and two horses rushed to Taiyuan.

On the eighth day of the second lunar month, Taiyuan Mansion, which had been secretly blocked for half a month, finally experienced the tremendous pressure of the black clouds crushing the city.

Since the founding of the Great Xia, Taiyuan Mansion, as the capital of Shanxi Province, has not experienced war for nearly a hundred years.

Just after dawn, the loose Taiyuan Mansion guards were completely panicked when they saw the black clouds gradually pressing over on the edge of the sky.

The alarm bell was sounded, and the panicked guards on the city wall shrank behind the battlements one by one with their weapons, looking in horror at the flow of black-armored people who were rapidly pressing over from the north.

"Lord Qianhu, it seems to be the Golden Dragon Banner......"

The red background gold dragon auspicious cloud flag represents the emperor in person or on behalf of the heavenly patrol generals.

Jia Cong changed into a purple robe and a royal cat suit, a red coat hunting in the wind, standing under the banner of the Chinese army commander on a horse, and looking coldly at the Taiyuan Mansion City, which was closed with four gates.

The wind and snow are getting stronger and stronger, and the strong cold wind is blowing so that the people in the city can't see the figure of Shuai clearly.

Taiyuan Wei commanded Cao Chujun to smash his mouth, licked his chapped lips, and said to the deputy general beside him worriedly: "Go and ask, which adult is here ......?"

As he was talking, one of the black-armored cavalry stepped forward, held up a golden token, and shouted: "By order, Yongfeng Bo will inspect Taiyuan Mansion, don't you hurry up and open the city gate and come to visit!" ”

"It's this ......"

The cold winter is precipitous, this lord is not happy in the capital, what is he doing in Taiyuan?

Curiosity is curiosity, Cao Chujun didn't have the courage to stop the Qin Cha outside the city, even if this Qin Cha came with more than 10,000 troops.

The royal golden order was hung to the top of the city with a hanging basket, and after inspecting it, Cao Chujun ordered the city gate to be opened, and he also walked down the city to prepare to meet the Qin Cha.

But he didn't expect that after the city gate was opened, he didn't get out of the city gate, and the black-armored cavalry quickly entered the city and occupied all the important places at the north city gate.

Fortunately, Jia Cong's arrival made him breathe a sigh of relief, and he stepped forward to meet him in fear and confusion: "The last general Taiyuan Wei commanded Cao Chujun to visit Uncle Yongfeng, why did the uncle do this, please make it clear." ”

Jia Cong stood on the city tower, standing with his hands in his hands, overlooking the entire Taiyuan Mansion City.

He did not respond to Cao Chujun's inquiry, but looked coldly at the team of officials who came from the city.

Cao Chujun never heard Jia Cong's response, and always maintained the posture of bowing down and clenching his fists, after a long time, the whole person's back was sore and he couldn't support it.

In the end, I had to grit my teeth and ask again: "I don't know what is the important task of my uncle here, but do you need the help of the general?" ”

Jia Cong finally responded this time, but he only said two words that made Cao Chujun tremble.

"Kill!"

Cao Chujun's heart sank, and he asked tentatively in a low voice: "Who is Uncle going to kill?" ”

At this time, almost all the officials and generals in the capital city who received the news had already gathered in the urn city.

Jia Cong raised his hand and pointed at the civil and military officials who were lining up in the whole team under the city, and said murderously: "It's them!" ”

……

The defense of Taiyuan Mansion has been taken over by the Datong border army, Cao Chujun did not have the courage to disobey the order of Jia Cong, who held the golden order, and 20,000 Taiyuan guards were temporarily divided and followed behind the border army to do chores.

Jia Cong has been hanging a civil and military official in the city, without meeting them or letting them go back, letting them blow the cold wind.

Zhu Jiangming had already been ordered to arrange for the Dragon Guards to walk the streets and alleys and ring the gong, announcing Jia Cong's order.

"The minister of the Qin Mission, Yongfeng Bo will try the important case at the end of the time, and the people in the city can go to the urn city to watch the public trial process."

"In this case, Liu Kan, the son of the acting prince of the palace, Fang Hui, the son of Fang Bin, the political envoy of Shanxi, Su Benzhai, the son of Su Yu, the envoy of Shanxi, and Wang Siling, the son of Wang Qi, the governor of Taiyuan Prefecture, ......"

"Yongfeng Bo has an order, all officials, generals and those with meritorious names in Taiyuan City must go to Wengcheng on time to ......"

The guards who patrolled the city in the past have been replaced by murderous black-armored cavalry, and teams of border troops have appeared all over the city.

When the people who should come and those who shouldn't come gathered in the urn city, thousands of people crowded into one place, almost occupying most of the urn city.

In the face of the elite of the border army in armor and with a solemn face, even the people who like to watch the excitement the most dare not speak loudly and discuss. They could only discuss with each other in whispers, and from time to time glance at the civil and military officials in front of them who were about to be submerged in snowflakes.

After standing in the wind and snow for an hour, the hands and feet of these two dozen or so civil and military officials were almost frozen.

But they didn't dare to leave without permission, and they didn't dare to complain.

Including Zuo Bu's political envoy Zhang Siwei, everyone sensed that something was wrong.

Ning Rongjia's family is indeed often a stingy person, but no matter how stingy a person is, he will not be so snub to a provincial official.

There is only one possibility, one of them has committed a crime, and it is a big thing......

Knock knock knock......

The war drums at the head of the city were beaten, and Zhang Siwei, who was still thinking about today's events, suddenly saw an incredible scene from the door hole in the city gate.

What is that?

The coffins were pulled by horse-drawn carts and ox-carts, and they lined up and drove this way. Along the way, there were also people scattering paper money, floating around.

Not only Zhang Siwei saw it, but the rest of the officials also saw it, and as the first carriage entered the urn city, the people who gathered here to watch the excitement also saw it.

More than 800 coffins gathered in one place, not shocked, but shocked.

The urn city was silent, and some timid people had already shrunk their necks, intending to leave......

"You must be curious about who these coffins are."

A purple figure appeared on the castle tower, and the royal cat embroidered with gold silk showed the owner of this figure.

Jia Cong had a simple horn in his hand, and the sound was assisted by the echo of the urn city, so that the officials and people downstairs in the city could hear it clearly.

"The people in these coffins, the youngest is no more than ten years old, the oldest is no more than eighteen, and they are poor women who have been taken captive......"

"The people who mutilated them were on high above, and these poor women were treated like playthings, imprisoned in secret rooms, trapped in a foreign land, and living a hellish life every day."

"Do you know who they were?"

Jia Cong waved his hand, and a row of people with disheveled hair appeared on the city tower.

At Jia Cong's suggestion, Zhu Jiangming took out a roll of paper from his sleeve, opened it and read it aloud.

"After investigation, Liu Kan, the son of the acting king, Fang Hui, the son of Fang Bin, the political envoy of Shanxi, Su Benzhai, the son of Su Yu, the envoy of Shanxi, Wang Siling, the son of Wang Qi, the Tongzhi of Taiyuan Prefecture, Li Li, the imperial merchant of Taiyuan Mansion, and Yan Zhiyuan of the Yan family of Pingyang...... A total of 26 people robbed the people's daughters, raped and plundered, and mutilated the people......"

"Shanxi Right Political Envoy Fang Bin, Shanxi Punishment Envoy Su Yu, Taiyuan Mansion Tongzhi Wang Qi, Pingyang County Commander Liao Fanchen...... collusion and greed, bending the law for personal gain, shielding evil, not being strict in teaching children, bending the law for personal gain......"

"Acting Wang Liu Min and Shanxi Cheng announced the political envoy department, the criminal envoy department, the supervision of the imperial history, the patrol press and the Taiyuan Mansion officials were negligent and negligent, and there was a crime of negligence."

"The eleven gentry merchants including the imperial merchant Li were all guilty of master-slave crimes, and their crimes were too numerous to mention......"

Zhu Jiangming read for almost half an hour before he finished reading the crimes and responsibilities of the people involved.

He finally put away the dossier, bowed his hand to the sky, and shouted: "By order, the main culprit Liu Kan, Fang Hui and other twenty-six people are sentenced to Ling Chi ......."

Rumble!

The urn city was completely boiling.

A noble lady in the crowd fainted directly, and the servant woman next to her hurriedly picked her up and sent her to the carriage on the side.

Someone recognized the family emblem on the carriage, which was the chariot of the royal palace.

The queue of officials also exploded, and the people who were not involved in the case were okay, such as Fang Bin, the political envoy of the right side, and others could no longer care about anything else, and they scolded angrily, and they were about to go to the city to reason with Jia Cong one by one.

However, before they could take a few steps, they saw a group of black-armored forbidden troops pressing under the city wall.

Boom, boom, boom~

The forbidden army drew their swords and detained them all.

"Shanxi Right Political Envoy Fang Bin, Shanxi Provincial Punishment Envoy Su Yu, Taiyuan Mansion Tongzhi Wang Qi and other 12 people, the crime is unforgivable, and they are sentenced to be beheaded!"

"Jia Cong'er, what kind of thing are you, this official is the second rank of the imperial court, what right do you have to dare to kill me?"

Fang Bin was very inward-looking, but in the face of the great horror of life and death, he still mustered up the courage to raise his head and argue.

Su Yu and others, who were escorted by the forbidden army, also responded one after another, wanting to force Jia Cong to release them.

There were also people who begged Zhang Siwei, the political envoy of Zuobu, and other officials who were not involved in the case, but unfortunately Zhang Siwei had already thought of something and was silent.

Plead? Revolt?

Liu Kan, the prince of the Acting Prince's Mansion, is about to be Lingchi, have you seen Liu Min coming?

The prince of Guiwei has shrunk in the palace and has not come out, and I am a second-class political envoy who is stupid to offend Jia Cong?

Jia Cong flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly: "Today, what Ben Bo killed is the second grade!" Don't tell me that you don't know the crimes committed by your son, and for nearly ten years, thousands of innocent women have died in the hands of those brutes, don't you know? ”

How could it not be known?

In addition to Liu Min, who was almost isolated in the air, including Zhang Siwei, the political envoy of Zuobu, there were many high-ranking officials in Taiyuan Mansion who knew something more or less, but they were just officials protecting each other and hiding each other.

Especially Fang Bin, Su Yu and others, they wiped their son's buttocks. Which of those gentry, officials and businessmen in Shanxi has not given benefits to this group of people?

"And you!"

Jia Cong suddenly pointed at the remaining Zhang Siwei and other officials, and angrily reprimanded: "Don't say that you haven't heard these things, you are guilty of negligence if you don't report it, don't investigate it, and indulge in crimes." ”

"The lower officials are ashamed, and they also ask Lord Qincha to condemn their crimes!"

Zhang Siwei reacted the fastest, didn't think about justification, and knelt directly to admit punishment.

The rest of the officials also did the same, for fear that if they were too late, they would be dragged by the forbidden army and thrown together with Su Yu and the others.

Jia Cong just glanced at this group of people coldly, and reprimanded: "Your sins will be investigated by the officials of the three divisions, and now you are all kneeling for Benbo, and you can see with your own eyes the end of the cruelty of the people and the disregard of the law!" ”

"Someone, set up a torture platform! Ben Bo is going to take the blood of these beasts today and surpass those poor souls! ”

……

No one is going to get blood steamed buns, because the blood of this group of people is dirty!

Ling Chi has 3,600 knives, and a person with good execution skills can hang the lives of this group of beasts until the last knife before he dies.

From beginning to end, Liu Min, the acting king, did not come to intercede with Jia Cong.

However, Princess Lu sent a letter to Jia Cong to spare Liu Kan from death. Even after Jia Cong did not agree, he hysterically shouted that Liu Kan was a member of the royal family, and Jia Cong's private handling violated the law.

wanted to use the identity of the clan to suppress Jia Cong, but Jia Cong directly sent his own soldiers and sent a white silk, a cup of poisonous wine, and a dagger.

And let someone pass a message to the Lu family: "If Fei'er was involved in an important case, he would have killed you a long time ago to pay tribute to those innocent women." What about the clan? It's not like I haven't killed Jia Cong! ”

Eight hundred coffins were placed in the urn city of Taiyuan Mansion, and they were arranged in the shape of a crescent moon around the torture table.

Fang Bin, Su Yu and other twelve officials were the first to be sent to the execution platform, and the forbidden army served as the executioner.

Many of the onlookers were so frightened that they closed their eyes, and most of the officials who were forced to watch the execution by Jia Cong wet their pants.

Zhang Siwei's legs were also trembling, not frozen, but fearful.

The fear of Jia Cong, and the fear of "Daxia Law".

He couldn't believe that someone would really use the "Great Xia Law" to punish such court officials as them.

Although the rule of not punishing doctors has changed in this dynasty, as long as it does not involve rebellion or touches the limelight, it will not lose your life, and the most likely thing is just exile.

In fact, the crimes of Su Yu and others are a bit far-fetched even in exile, and according to the usual practice, the dismissal of officials and the seizure of office are heavenly.

But when he met Jia Cong, the law of "Daxia Law", which is full of loopholes and extremely imperfect, has long been thoroughly studied by him.

If the crime is not enough to be decided, then find a way to make it up.

No matter how bad it is, there is still a crime of forming a party for personal gain, and if you form a party, you can deduct the crime of not rebelling......

……

Jia Cong forcibly beheaded twelve court officials with the imperial gold order, which completely shocked the Taiyuan officials.

The next Ling Chi is much smoother, with the strong elite of the border army guaranteeing, all the conspiracy calculations are paper tigers, and they will be broken with a single stab.

Zhang Siwei was finally summoned to the Yamen of the Political Envoy Division, and Jia Cong sat in the hall with a plaque hanging high above his head.

"Fang Bin, Su Yu and the others were killed by Benbo, but this is not enough!"

Jia Cong threw out a dossier: "Zhang Siwei, are your Shanxi officials so guarding the pastoral side?" See for yourself, what has become of Shanxi? ”

Zhang Siwei's hands were still trembling at this time, and he hadn't recovered from the bloodshed of the urn city yet.

However, the file that Jia Cong threw at him still made him sober up a little, because this file recorded the crimes of more than 60 gentry and wealthy merchants in Shanxi, including almost half of the Shanxi clans.

"This ...... This ......"

"What is this? All the houses, not a single one left! Exile when it should be exiled, and beheaded when it should behead! Zhang Siwei, this is Benber's chance to atone for your sins......"

Thump~

Zhang Siwei knelt down directly, but did not immediately respond to Jia Cong's words.

"Uncle, uncle...... Xiaguan, Xiaguan ......"

Jia Cong's eyes narrowed, staring coldly at Zhang Siwei, who was trembling on his knees.

"What? Do you dare or don't want to? Or do you want to go to the guillotine too? ”

He knew why Zhang Siwei didn't dare to admit this, because behind these people stood the entire Jin Party, even if the current Jin Party did not have the power of the Zhaowu period, it still occupied a great voice in the government and the opposition.

But Jia Cong just wants to force Zhang Siwei to kill people, only in this way can he take the opportunity to completely disrupt the entire Shanxi and eradicate the Jin Party faction that has been entrenched in Shanxi for nearly a hundred years in one fell swoop.

The Jin Party has become a new family that hinders the new law reform and new policy of Great Xia, and has become a cancer that harms the people and keeps sucking blood on the people.
