Chapter 161: Justice is manifested, and the two shrines stand side by side
Several prison officials held red pens and put a red cross on the name of the prisoner behind the death row prisoner, and then pulled out the prisoner's card and threw it on the ground.
Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!
The cards fell on the wooden ground with a crisp sound that made the prisoner tremble, which was a sign that the executioner could swing the knife.
The bare-armed executioner raised the ghost head knife high, and shouted at Li Zhiqing, the prisoner in front of him, "Master, please get on the road!" ”
"Please get on your way!"
The words seemed to have an echo, and the men in the same row raised similar ghost-headed knives, said similar words, and then waved them down one after another under the sun.
The onlookers exclaimed, neither daring to look but also wanting to look, and many people still don't dare to believe that the hundred officials of the evil side in Yangzhou Mansion will really be killed.
They all say that they are not responsible for the public, and now it can be said that all the officials in the entire Yangzhou Mansion are here, and as a result, the imperial court will really agree to kill them all.
Burst!
A stream of blood splashed high, and Li Zhiqing's head rolled to the ground.
Burst!
Another stream of blood splashed high, and Zhang Zhushan's head rolled to the ground, and this corrupt official in the salt administration system who used the public for personal gain was also punished.
Burst!
Another stream of blood splashed high, and Yang Mingyuan's head rolled to the ground, and the Yangzhou prefect who was helping to abuse the local government was also subdued.
Burst!
Another stream of blood splashed high, Yang Kang's head fell to the ground, and the commander of Yang Zhouwei, who used his military power to cover for Li Zhiqing and act as a killer, also surrendered.
All of them are big names with great promises, and they will even be able to seal their wives and sons in the future, but now they are all about to become ghosts under the knife.
But regardless of whether everyone believes it or not, now the highest-ranking officials in Yangzhou in the first row have been beheaded, and their heads have rolled to the ground from the torture table.
"This ...... Really cut it? ”
"Well chopped, from now on, we can be honest in Yangzhou for a while!"
"The king's beheading really deserves his name, and the current saint is really the lord of the Holy Ming!"
……
The people saw the heads of Li Zhiqing and other officials rolling to the ground one after another, from the initial disbelief, to finally accepting this dream-like reality.
The protection of officials and officials has been done in the past, and none of the officials who are greedy for ink and crimes have been pardoned, and justice has finally been demonstrated without discount at this moment.
Burst!
Poof!
Puff puff!
……
This execution was like chopping melons and vegetables, the order of the officials' executions was from high to low, and the blood quickly stained the newly built execution platform.
"The imperial court has such courage, how can it not prosper!"
"Enke must take the exam this year, so the monarch should repay it!"
"One day to punish a hundred greedy, the real prosperity of the Ming Dynasty will come!"
……
After witnessing it with their own eyes, even those who were dissatisfied with the government earlier, they all changed their minds at this moment, as if they had seen the dawn of the prosperous era.
In fact, it is not difficult to have a grand event, as long as those officials who encroach on the people's property are killed, the people can eat and eat their stomachs, and it is naturally a prosperous era. It's just a pity that it is the norm for officials to protect each other, and they even did not hesitate to cost the lives of 2,000 soldiers for the sake of the so-called peace. m.
Burst!
Poof!
Puff puff!
……
Although the officials of the patrol inspection and the ambassador of the warehouse are only the ninth grade, and the deputy position is only from the ninth grade, there are too many of them, so the executioner has cut wave after wave!
Burst!
As the last official cut off his head, the blood became dim, and the curtain came down on this high-profile execution.
Perhaps the emperor of the Forbidden City didn't expect that just a word he wrote would stain a torture table the size of a basketball court with blood.
When night falls, the whole world seems very quiet.
Wang Yue knew that most of his mission had been completed, and now the culprit was ambushed, and the remaining officials and salt merchants could be liquidated slowly, and the top priority was to sort out the salt administration.
It's just that the Daming Salt Administration does not need to change the law, only needs to dig out the hidden fields, and then increase the price of "medium salt" or "folded color", then the rectification of the salt policy can be declared over.
Wang Yue also wanted to gain the trust of the new emperor, so he wrote in the song: "The minister is not a person who loves to kill, but the corrupt official is like a wild grass, cutting the grass without removing the roots, and the spring breeze blows and grows." Therefore, the ministers think that the officials should rule and should use torture to ......! ”
After all, he was still influenced by Wang Zhi, but he didn't want to live in a false house because of the crime of "writing poetry and resentment", but he hoped that he could have a fair treatment.
Even if he didn't think about his future, it would be for the two thousand soldiers who died, so he not only needed a fair servant, but also longed for the emperor's favor.
Only with the addition of the emperor's grace can he have the opportunity to return to Datong and return to the border place where he "repays the country like fire in his life", and this time he wants to avenge the soldiers who died in battle.
"Grandpa, something happened!" Wang Yu hurriedly walked into the study, his face looked panicked.
Wang Yue picked up the notes he had just written, and blew towards the undried ink: "What's the matter?" ”
"When the officials below rechecked the identity of the death row prisoner just now, they found that Gao Heng had been transferred?" Wang Yu had already inspected the corpse and looked very helpless.
Wang Yue immediately put down the note in his hand and said in disbelief: "Adjust the bag? How exactly did they transfer the package, didn't I already order a repeat medical examination? ”
There was still a mistake in the Yangzhou supervisor, because they had killed too many officials today, so it was inevitable that they would be negligent during the physical examination.
It was this mistake that gave Gao Heng the opportunity to escape, and now he found out about the transfer, and I am afraid that he has already left Yangzhou City.
"The investigation has just been re-investigated, and someone saw Gao Heng in the prisoner car with his own eyes, but he smashed too many rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves at the corner of the execution ground for the people, so I can't be sure whether he transferred the bag on the way or when he arrived at the execution table!" Wang Xuan is now able to take charge on his own, and he reported helplessly.
Wang Yue's brows couldn't help frowning, it was said that there shouldn't have been such a big mistake, but it just happened magically.
"The Gao family secretly recruited Zhuangding and shipbuilders earlier, and it is found that they have now fled overseas!" Wang Zhi saw Wang Yue, who came to find him, and immediately revealed the latest situation.
Because Gao Heng, the deputy envoy of the two Huai capitals, committed such a big crime, the Provisional Governor's Office also raided the Gao family, who lived in Xinghua County, Yangzhou.
Although a large amount of gold and silver was obtained from the raider's house, the Gao family has been operating in Yangzhou for hundreds of years, so such a big news was naturally known in advance.
is also the same, on the way to Gao's house by the raid team, the Gao family has already absconded with gold and silver.
Wang Yue saw that Wang Zhi was slowly sipping tea, and couldn't help but wonder and said: "Wang Gong, why are you so calm about Gao Heng's affairs, this is not your style!" ”
"It's inevitable that something will slip through the cracks, and it's useless to be anxious now!" Wang Zhi took a sip of tea lightly, looking very relaxed and natural.
Wang Yue looked at Wang Zhi's reaction in front of him was indeed abnormal, so he made a bold guess and said, "Could it be that you already knew it in advance?" ”
"Hugh is talking nonsense! If the miscellaneous family knew, how could they give Gao Heng a chance to escape! Wang Zhi immediately put down the teacup in his hand unhappily, looking serious and authentic.
Wang Yue glanced at Wang Yue, who had an inappropriate attitude, suspiciously, and asked tentatively: "Wang Gong, in your opinion, what should I do now?" ”
"Naturally, I will send someone to chase after me, and the miscellaneous family will report this matter to Your Majesty!" Wang Zhi took out the blank paper he brought with him again, and was about to write.
Wang Yue faintly felt that this matter was related to Wang Zhi, and even suspected that the matter was planned by the person in front of him.
Sun En, the eunuch of the Weaving Bureau, hurriedly walked in, and the words had already reached his lips, but when he saw that Wang Yue was here, he swallowed back stiffly.
Wang Yue noticed Sun En's abnormality, and continued to probe with understanding: "Wang Gong, if you can't catch up, do you want to report that Gao Heng has fled to the sea with the Gao family?" ”
"If you can't catch up, naturally Gao Heng fled to the sea with the Gao family! It's just that this mistake should not be publicized, and the corpse may not be Gao Heng, and the miscellaneous family thinks that it can be reported secretly! Wang Zhi first asked rhetorically, and then proposed.
Wang Yue nodded thoughtfully, if he could really chase Gao Heng back, it would naturally be the Gao family who rescued him to the sea, but if he couldn't catch it back, Gao Heng had been secretly executed by the people in front of him.
It's just that he still has an extra heart, because no one dared to pick up Gao Heng's body today, so he came to the morgue to confirm it again, and finally found that things were as he guessed.
Wang Yue realized that even though he had not returned to the court, the battle that belonged to them had actually begun.
With the arrival of the vacant Yangzhou officials one after another, the temporary military-style government was officially dissolved, which made many people feel reluctant.
During the period when Wang Zhi and Wang Yue joined forces to govern, there were still ruffians and demons at the beginning, but with the beheading of a person, no one in the entire Yangzhou City dared to do evil.
It's just that the good banquet will eventually disperse, and Wang Zhi and Wang Yue deserve a higher position, but what the two of them did in Yangzhou Mansion has already lived in their hearts.
I don't know if the people of Yangzhou are too rich, or they really want to be grateful to the two, but they have already decided to build a Wang Yue Temple and a Wang Zhi Temple in the east of the city.
Some people died, but not completely......
