The people of Jinling City once again heard the roar of artillery.

In the early morning of winter, many people have not yet woken up from their sleep when they are awakened by an earth-shattering loud noise.

At first, the people cowered and hid in the corners after a short period of confusion.

But soon there were many people lying on the crack of the door, hiding in the corner of the wall to look out, Liu Ke's way of thinking is not quite the same as others, this gentleman prince not only did not hide it, but sent someone to directly take over the Jinling Mansion, and sent several teams of soldiers to ring gongs around the city to announce.

"The Xilin Party members are formed with cults and demons inside, and they are connected to Haikou outside, intending to rebel. The loyal king was ordered to suppress the unsubordinate, and the people in the city need not worry......"

"The loyal and obedient king is ordered to fight the rebellion, and no one is allowed to go out without the warrant of the king. Sue the people to curfew, and those who go around in tandem will be severely punished by Xilin and the same party. ”

"I would like to warn all sentient beings, Xilin conspired against rebellion, Your Majesty is benevolent, and only punishes the evil. Those who do not conspire with the rebellious party may go to the court after the rebellion is over, and will not be punished. Those who conspire against the rebels will be punished by the three tribes. Those who participated in the rebellion, the seven tribes were gone. ”

……

One after another, the king's decrees spread to all directions, and spread with the messenger to the left near the state capital, and within a few days, it will spread throughout the provinces south of the Yangtze River.

Liu Ke knew very well that the most powerful thing about the Xilin Party was not how powerful they were, but their demagogic methods.

At the moment, it is futile to use other methods, and it is enough to grasp only one point: those who participate in the plan of the Xilin Party will be robbed of their fame and fame, and they will be deprived of the right to the imperial examination for three generations.

Political trial, the disaster has been delayed for three generations, and if you don't believe it, you can't let this group of stupid scholars obey.

Xilin Academy has been completely captured by officers and soldiers, and those Xilin Party members who came to Jinling from all over the place to "join in the great plan" are like frosted eggplants at this time.

The graceful demeanor of the past has long disappeared, and Qiu Ba, who was despised by them, was strung with a rope and brought to the urn city of Jinling with disheveled clothes and hair.

A torture platform has been built in the urn city, and the dragon, tiger, and dog-headed knives shimmer golden in the sunlight, causing the onlookers to squint their eyes.

The public trial, which Liu Ke believes is the best way to unravel the true face of the Xilin Party, is also one of his favorite "games".

If you kill someone, you must also punish your heart.

The Xilin Party once bewitched the people to resist the new policy of the imperial court, and poured sewage on the imperial court basin after basin.

Today, too, he will retaliate with a tooth for a tooth, so that this group of people may taste the spurned by all the people.

Qian Qianren, one of the few famous Confucians in Jiangnan, the former leader of the Daxia Xilin Party, even though he is seventy years old now, is still the helmsman of the Jiangnan interest group hidden behind him.

The Dragon Guards have never stopped monitoring and investigating important members of Xilin Yiying over the years, but even if there is enough evidence, the Emperor Taishang has no way to punish them according to law.

Jiangnan's taxes account for more than half of the total revenue of the country, and if it weren't for the fact that the sea trade, salt tax, and mutual market can support the normal operation of the country, the four stubborn people would not be able to take Xilin to the knife.

Maybe others still have to take care of Shilin's discussions, but Liu Ke had already sent Xia Lingxing and Xu Jin to Jinling Mansion, and the original plan was left behind by him.

As soon as the three guillotines were put on the execution platform, the people who came to watch the excitement immediately took a deep breath and whispered to each other.

"This is Bao Xiangye Bao Qingtian's guillotine!"

"Grandpa Tian, His Royal Highness the King of Zhongshun doesn't plan to kill all these old men, right? That's all readers! ”

"What's wrong with the reader? Can't a scholar cut off his head? ”

"That's Qian Gong! Qian Gong is full of peach and plum all over the world, and how many officials and masters in our Jiangnan are his students......"

"Shhhh Don't you listen to the soldiers? The Xilin Party is guilty of rebellion, and the first evil clan will be punished, and the conspirators will be guilty of the same crime. Those officials now hate to have to know the Xilin Party. ”

In fact, when Liu Ke set up artillery at the head of the city wall and blasted open the gate of Xilin Academy, many Jinling officials and gentry who saw the wind and steered the rudder already understood how to choose.

Knock knock knock......

The drums shook the sky, and the dragon guards in the flying fish suit escorted Liu Ke, the prince of Zhongshun with a python robe and jade belt, arrived in the urn city, and everyone stopped talking together, holding their breath and concentrating, and they didn't dare to come out.

In the past, the prince who was a gentleman was like a gentleman, but today his face is as heavy as water.

Liu Ke sat on the high platform, and with a wave of his hand, he saw the royal soldiers carrying several large boxes and walking forward quickly.

With a clatter, the box slammed to the ground.

"This king has been coming to Jinling for a few days, and he goes in and out of the city on weekdays, and everyone who comes to Jinling should be familiar with this king......"

As Liu Ke spoke, the people below nodded involuntarily.

If this master changes into a foreign clothes, the people of Jinling will definitely think that this person is from where he came from, eating, drinking, playing with birds, walking dogs and fighting crickets, there is no one he can't.

It only took two months for the inhuman Liu Ke to familiarize the people of Jinling with him, and he gained extraordinary popularity in Jinling.

Bold, atmospheric, no shelf, you can play with anyone.

is merciless to the officials and gentry who oppress the people, and the spring breeze and rain to the people, who can not love such a prince?

"The big guy may not know why this king has not been waiting to see this group of 'gentlemen' who are also saints, so let this king explain the reason for this today......"

Liu Ke seems to be chattering with the people in the audience, but in fact, he has dragged the people's hearts to his side.

"In these boxes, there are all the 'gentlemen' next to the torture table, the good things they have done over the years! Come on, open the box, start with Qian Qianren, and read it one by one! ”

Bang dang~

The first box was opened, and a dragon guard stepped forward to take out the top one, cleared his throat and began to read.

"In the third year of the Taiping Rejuvenation of the Country, Sun Shi'an attacked Jiaxing and trapped Pinghu County, and the Qian family took advantage of the man-made disaster to obtain 3,247 acres of land and 2,811 acres of Zhongtian, and recruited 800 homeless tenants."

"In the sixth year of the Taiping Rejuvenation of the Kingdom, the imperial court banned the sea policy, and the Qian family colluded with the Haikou Sun Shi'an to smuggle overseas, earning more than one million taels of silver a year."

"In the eighteenth year of Zhaowu, the palace ordered the draft to enter the palace, and Qian Taixu, the eldest son of Huai'an Mansion and Qian Qianren, searched and persecuted eighty-one girls, named the draft, which was actually filled into the Qian family's inner house."

"In the forty-ninth year of Zhaowu, the Qian family coerced, plundered, and bought nearly 1,000 women in various names. When Qian Qianren was over sixty-five years old, he took the daughter of a little buy as a concubine, and then abused him to death. ”

"Qian's 'good ancient style', with the deed person as a slave, after abusing the girl to death, the person is made of wax, for the study, it says: red sleeves for candles, can be clear and wise......"

"In the sixth year of Yuan You, the Japanese invaded the inland and ran rampant in the south of the Yangtze River. All originated from the Xilin Party led by the Qian family, and betrayed the secrets of the official army for the Japanese people. ”

"The Japanese bandits, one is a real one, and ninety percent is a lackey of Xilin."

"In September of the 8th year of the reign of Yuan You, the dynasty reformed the tax law and raised the commercial tax to reduce the burden on the people. However, this strategy touched the interests of the Qian family and other gentry and wealthy families, and bewitched the people to fight against the imperial court......"

……

The investigation of the Dragon Guards is very detailed, with a total of more than 100 charges, and there is detailed evidence behind each of them.

In particular, Qian Qianren is a good young girl, likes to abuse women, and advocates retro serfdom, and her behavior makes the people in the audience feel creepy.

In particular, the dragon guards magically transported the wax of the person with a candle wick in his mouth and kneeling on the ground to carry ink from Zhejiang.

The woman was definitely no more than twelve or thirteen, even if she had been made into human wax and put on a strange posture, she could still see the desolation and sorrow before death.

The dragon guards read Qian Qianren and the crimes committed by the Qian family one by one, and the people in the audience gradually clenched their fists.

If it is said that the abduction of women and the abuse of nature can still make the people say that it is none of their business, then colluding with the Japanese bandits and creating man-made disasters to occupy the fields and properties in Jiangnan is enough to make the people of the entire Jiangnan no longer hold back the anger burning in their chests.

"Qian Qianren!"

"Kill him!"

"Kill Qian Qianren and avenge your dead relatives!"

For the first time, the Xilin Party members, who were tied up in a string next to the torture platform, felt the powerful power of the people under the anger.

Only then did the sins of the Qian family be read out, as well as the Zeng family, the Lu family, and the Cheng family......

The Xilin Party is famous, and its power occupies almost half of the south of the Yangtze River, and they are high up, when have they ever seen these mud legs.

But at this time, this group of mud legs that they couldn't look down on actually smashed at them with mud blocks......

Liu Ke only used the trick of public trial to mobilize the real hearts of the people in Jinling City.

Those scholars who hid in the crowd and watched, one by one, followed the people and shouted for revenge for the thieves, and no one dared to say a word of opposition at this time.

Because they were afraid that they would be drowned on the spot by the angry and restless people!

Liu Ke got up and pressed down with his hands.

The restless and angry people suddenly stopped shouting and quietly waited for His Royal Highness the King of Zhongshun to deal with it.

With just one action, you can stop the people in the rage, and this is what the people want!

"Ladies and gentlemen, this king guards the south of the Yangtze River on behalf of the heavens, and His Majesty once said, Jun, Zhouye; The people, the water also. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat. Great Xia is the Son of Heaven and the people in the world, not with the scholars. ”

"Today, this king will use the "Great Xia Law" to judge the crimes of Qian Qianren and others for the people of Jiangnan, and avenge the innocent people who died in the hands of Qian and others!"

Boom~

The people in the audience knelt down one after another, and they believed what Liu Ke, the king of Zhongshun, said, because this prince had never deceived the people since he came to Jinling City.

"The prince is wise! Thank you for avenging us! ”

"Long live the Holy Son of Heaven, long live, long live!"

In the six years of Yuanyou's man-made disaster, which family in Jiangnan had no relatives who were victimized?

Not to mention anything else, the people in Nanzhili and Zhejiang who were slaughtered by the Japanese invaders were as many as tens of thousands.

In Jiangnan, the most vicious word for scolding people is that you are a Japanese and you are a Japanese ......

Liu Ke used the strategy of public trial to completely provoke the resentment of the people of Jinling against the Xilin thieves, and this wind will soon blow throughout the south of the Yangtze River.

By that time, the strongest shield of the Xilin party will no longer exist.

The dynasty will completely control Jiangnan, and no one will come out to hinder the new policy.

"Let's get up, the public trial has just begun, let's take a look at what kind of face looks behind these 'gentlemen'!"

……

The cold wind of winter blew the anger of the people of Jinling, and the three guillotines did not stop for a moment, and every time they thought of a person's crime, the executioner on the torture platform would pull out the guillotine, and send the old man Xilin, who was high in the past, to the eighteenth layer of hell.

The sound of cursing and cheering in Wengcheng was constantly intertwined, and people kept kneeling to kowtow to Liu Ke...... No, the relatives who died at the hands of the Xilin thieves prayed.

It took seven days for the public trial in the urn city to come to an end temporarily.

When Xia Lingxing and Xu Jin received the news from Jinling, the two had already been bound by the situation in Songjiang Mansion, and it was difficult to rush back to stop Liu Ke's impulsive move.

Of course, they don't want to stop them, and there are things that someone should do.

The situation in Songjiang Mansion was neither good nor bad, and the sailor deliberately let Ma Dayuan and thousands of others go ashore.

The army was ambushed in the Jiangnan shipyard, and Ma Dayuan led people to rush into the shipyard effortlessly, and then closed the door and beat the dogs.

When the two bigwigs stood in front of Ma Dayuan in fuchsia official robes, he was stupid.

All around are officers and soldiers armed with bows, crossbows and muskets, and their every move has long been investigated by the government.

It is true that the main force of the water division is not in Songjiang Mansion, but there are more than just water divisions in Songjiang Mansion!

Xia Lingxing, as the second assistant of the cabinet and the ironclad next scholar of the first assistant of Great Xia, held a golden arrow, and had already transferred tens of thousands of salt dings from the Imperial History Mansion.

At that time, in order to rectify the salt class, Lin Ruhai dismissed all the old, weak, sick and disabled who were scattered and had no combat power, recruited salt from the good family, and equipped them with the most sophisticated weapons in Great Xia.

It can be said that in the entire south of the Yangtze River, the ceiling of combat power is the Songjiang Naval Division, and the second place is the 30,000 salt dings of the Imperial History Mansion.

Ma Dayuan is dead, and the Cao Gang is also dead.

When they rushed into the Jiangnan Shipyard, the forbidden place of Great Xia, the charge of rebellion could not be shaken off no matter what.

Bang bang bang~

Whoosh~

Bows, crossbows, and muskets were fired, and in less than a quarter of an hour, thousands of Cao Gang members were killed by the officials and soldiers, leaving no armor behind.

Ma Dayuan took his daydream to see Lord Yan, and most of the high-ranking members of the Cao Gang died in Songjiang Mansion.

Immediately, Xia Lingxing used the power of the cabinet assistant in Songjiang Mansion to announce that the Cao Gang had colluded with the Xilin Party, the White Lotus Cult, and the Japanese Bandits to storm the government and rebel.

As a scholar of the Auxiliary Political University and a minister who inspected Jiangnan on behalf of the heavens, he ordered the yamen of all provinces, prefectures, and counties to make every effort to suppress the bandits, the White Lotus Sect, and the remnants of Xilin.

He also ordered Xu Jin, the right deputy imperial envoy of the Imperial Procuratorate, to temporarily act as the political envoy of Nanzhili and preside over the government affairs of Nanzhili.

At the same time, he ordered all provinces in Jiangnan to suspend the academies run by the Xilin Party, wait for the imperial court to appoint officials to teach, and rectify the Shilin style of study in the entire Jiangnan.

……

There is no definite news of the Sailor Bandits, but Xia Lingxing and the others are not too worried.

The Songjiang Navy Division has just received the latest warships, equipped with rapid-fire guns developed by the Ministry of Engineering, not to mention fighting the Haikou bandits with tattered equipment, even if they are directly one-on-one with Western warships, they will not fall into disadvantage.

The most important thing at the moment is the matter on land, after the old thirteen came to an earth-shattering public trial in Jinling, the reputation of the Xilin Party and the entire Jiangnan gentry is almost inaudible.

This has both advantages and disadvantages, and all those who have had contact with the Xilin Party do not even dare to go out now.

Because in the south of the Yangtze River, some people took the opportunity to provoke an unhealthy trend of hatred for scholars, deliberately expanded the crackdown on the Xilin thieves, and launched the evil matter of smashing, looting, and burning.

Xia Lingxing had to take Xu Jin around to put out the fire, and quickly sent a letter to Liu Ke, asking him, the virtuous king in the mouth of the people in Jiangnan, to stand up and stop this unhealthy trend.

It was under this circumstance that Jia Cong returned to Jinling Mansion, and as soon as he stepped into the territory of Jinling Mansion, he found out that something was wrong.

After inquiring about the specific situation, he hurriedly went to the Wuwang Courtyard to find Liu Ke, and solemnly told the possible outcome of the enlargement of the matter, which made Liu Ke, who had always had a big heart, break out in a cold sweat.
