And this will.

In the city of Kaifeng Prefecture, hundreds of thousands of people are all full of excitement.

It's time to kill corrupt officials and corrupt officials!

It is also necessary to clarify the canonical punishment!

Everyone ran out, and one by one they surrounded an open space outside the city!

And in the open space, there is a platform.

Above, there are rows of corrupt officials kneeling, as well as the gentry in the fish and meat towns of the past.

Behind him, there stood executioners armed with machetes.

Of course, just Kaifeng Mansion did not have so many executioners.

Among them, some of the executioners were found from the Praetorian Guards or the Brocade Guards!

And in front of these criminals, there are still some executioners, sitting on some long wooden benches in front of these corrupt officials and corrupt officials, Huo Huo sharpening his knives!

Seeing this, the corrupt officials and evil gentry kneeling on the stage couldn't hold it anymore, and they wailed and begged for mercy with frightened faces one by one.

"Please spare your lives, I don't dare anymore!"

"Please also ask this general to tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that I will report it!"

"His Royal Highness the Prince, I am a Ming official, if you want to kill me, you need Your Majesty's order!"

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Wechen is wrong, Wechen wants to report, Wechen knows a lot of officials!"

"Your Highness......"

Looking at the past, the officials who were high up and wantonly dominated their lives, or the masters outside the staff, are now so humble, and the expressions in the eyes of the people around them gradually changed.

In the end, it gradually became excited.

One by one, they stared at their red eyes and roared loudly.

"Cut them down!"

"Kill these corrupt officials and gentry!"

"Kill these brutes ......"

Seeing this, the corrupt officials on the stage were stunned!

On the side, Wang Zhen snorted coldly with disdain on his face.

"Alright, stop howling! You have been arrested together with so many thieves, why are you the only ones who have been beheaded? ”

Hearing this, an official's eyes widened instantly.

"They've all confessed?"

Wang Zhen said: "Hmph! Naturally! ”

The officials' faces were immediately full of anger, "These brutes, they are so shameless......"

"Can you be shameless?"

Wang Zhen sneered, "Dare not do it, a group of people with no eggs have read so many sage books in vain!" ”

"You Eagle Dog......"

"Presumptuous!"

Before the official finished scolding, he was slapped by the brocade guard beside him.

Wang Zhen was not angry at all, and said lightly: "If you don't want to be beheaded with dignity, you can anger the official, and the official can let you suffer another big crime when you are beheaded, or let you and others experience torture now!" ”

A group of corrupt officials and corrupt officials immediately shut up!

So, it was quiet for a while.

Wang Zhen raised his head and looked at the sun in the sky, almost after reaching the sky directly above.

Look right!

"The hour has come, execution!"

"Yes, execution!"

A group of executioners stepped forward, one by one took a sip of wine, sprayed it on the big knife in his hand, and pressed the heads of those executioners on the head pile!

"Don't! No! ”

"Wait, it's not yet time!"

"You can't be executed in advance......"

A group of corrupt officials and corrupt officials were suddenly full of horror, and even a pile of water stains appeared directly under some people's bodies.

"Humph!"

Wang Zhen snorted coldly: "If you continue to struggle, the executioner will not be able to cut off your neck, and you will not be able to die, and you will suffer a great sin!"

If that's the case, don't blame us! ”

“……”

A group of corrupt officials and corrupt officials are all stiff.

looked at Wang Zhen, as if he was looking at a devil, but he didn't dare to move.

Wang Zhen ignored it at all, and shouted at the executioners, "Execution!" ”

"Yes, execution!"

A group of executioners raised their knives and fell, and one head flew out of the distance.

The people around were suddenly quiet.

"Good!"

"Good kill!"

Immediately, a burst of cheers erupted!

The remaining group of corrupt officials and corrupt officials were directly paralyzed by fright.

Wang Zhen continued to shout: "Go on! ”

"Obey!"

A group of brocade guards continued to pull the remaining corrupt officials forward, kneeling neatly in front of the human head pile.

The executioner continued to raise and drop his sword, and the heads flew out of the distance again.

As for the struggle that someone is afraid of, it is useless, dozens of pounds of shackles are stuck in the neck, and they can't raise their heads at all.

Wait until the heads of these corrupt officials are cut off.

Wang Zhen stood up again and announced loudly: "Tomorrow, continue to be here and cut off the heads of a group of corrupt officials and evil gentry!" ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise!"

"God has finally opened his eyes!"

"Thank you ......"

The crowd of people immediately cheered.

At the same time, a team of corpse collectors had already arrived with a wooden cart and began to load the corpses, pull them away, and sprinkle some grass and wood ashes, or shovel away the bloody soil.

The execution ground was immediately restored to its original state.

With the beheading of a group of corrupt officials and evil gentry, the atmosphere of the entire Kaifeng Mansion changed again.

But.

The people are still full of expectations.

Following.

At noon, the execution ground outside Kaifeng Mansion was once again surrounded by the people.

And on the execution ground, there were rows of corrupt officials kneeling again, several times more than yesterday's number!

This.

Zhu Gaochi, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Hu, the king of Zhou, the prince of Zhou, Guo An, the king of Shunde County, and a number of Beijing officials who came with the prince Zhu Gaochi, and the surviving officials and generals of Kaifeng Mansion also stood on the side and watched quietly.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, noon has arrived!"

Not long after Zhu Gaochi and Guo An and others arrived, Wang Zhen came over and reported to Zhu Gaochi.

"Execution!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Wang Zhen bowed, then came to the stage with a cold face.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has an order, execution!"

"Obey!"

A group of soldiers and executioners responded in unison.

Forthwith.

A team of corrupt officials was escorted forward.

Seeing this, a group of corrupt officials and corrupt officials suddenly turned pale, and they wailed and begged for mercy again and again.

"Your Highness, the criminal has surrendered and reported, the criminal knows that he is wrong, His Highness can't kill me!"

"Your Highness, the criminal minister is an official of the imperial court, and without a holy decree, His Highness cannot ......"

"Your Highness spares ...... life"

When the voice came, Zhu Gaochi's face was expressionless.

Around, Guo An, Zhu Lu and others were also full of coldness.

Only the rest of the officials, how moved, but also did not dare to say more.

The crimes of these officials, they are also well aware of, there is no forgiveness at all.

"Shut up!"

"Slash!"

With a few angry rebukes, the machetes were raised high with cold light, and then they were quickly cut down.

One by one, the heads flew out with a brush.

Later, a group of corrupt officials and corrupt officials who had been watching this scene couldn't help but have weak legs, and couldn't kneel anymore, so they knelt directly on the ground, their faces full of horror, even if there were puddles of water stains under them, they didn't seem to notice it.

Kuang Ben, Yan Liangjie, Fang Ziming and other officials looked at each other, and they were also full of horror.

They went to ask for the guilt so quickly, but they didn't expect that they still didn't escape this fate.

If they had known that, they should not have taken the money in the first place.

Nowadays, not only is there no wealth, but also the family is affected.

Thinking about it, his face is full of remorse.

And this will, the second batch of beheaded criminals will also be pulled up.

No matter how much the guilty officials begged for mercy or struggled, it was to no avail.

Then, the third batch, the fourth batch......

Seeing this, Kuang Ben, Yan Liangjie, Fang Ziming and others became more and more frightened in their hearts.

In fact, when the head was chopped, the first one was not so afraid.

The further back I go, the more I look, the more frightened I become.

Kuang Ben, Yan Liangjie, Fang Ziming and others noticed that as there were fewer and fewer people in front of them, there were already people beside them, and they fainted in fright.

However, the brocade guards beside them, as if they were devils, woke up those who fainted in an instant!

"You want to be beheaded in your sleep, dreaming!"

The faces of the criminals were full of indignation.

"Next batch!"

With a sound of urgency, all the criminal officials couldn't help but shudder.

In front of them, there are not many people left!

Finally.

I don't know how long it took, but finally it was their turn!

After being held by a group of brocade guards, Kuang Ben, Yan Liangjie, Fang Ziming and others only felt that their brains were buzzing and full of fear, but they didn't have any strength in their bodies.

Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the blood-stained human head, they felt terrified to the extreme.

Especially when they saw the heads of people on the ground in front of them, like small hills, some of them were staring at them with big eyes and staring at them tightly, which made Kuang Ben, Yan Liangjie, Fang Ziming and others frightened and wanted to flee from this place immediately.

It's just that the shackles on their necks, which weigh dozens of catties, firmly pressed them against the human head pile, and let them breathe once, and they all felt the smell of blood in their nostrils.

"Slash!"

With a cold snort behind them, they could feel a large knife stained with human blood, raised high, and then slashed towards their necks.

Bang!

They could clearly hear the sound of the broadsword slashing at the stake, and they could even see the appearance of the broadsword.

"It turns out that this is what it feels like to be beheaded!"

Thinking inexplicably in his heart, Kuang Ben's eyes were dark and unconscious.

Among this wave of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, many people fainted directly like Kuang Ben.

However, some officials and gentry still stared at them and twitched, wanting to look back at their corpses.

It's just that no matter how hard they exert their strength, they can't turn their heads back, and even in the end, they still feel the shackles around their necks.

"Can I still feel my neck? Well? My neck is still there, my hands are there, my legs are ......"

"I wasn't beheaded?"

"It doesn't hurt at all, I wasn't beheaded?"

Soon, these officials felt it, and their faces were full of ecstasy.

Immediately, seeing that all the colleagues around him had not been beheaded, he also realized something, and hurriedly looked at Zhu Gaochi in the distance.

Distance.

The unsuspecting officials around Zhu Gaochi, as well as the ordinary people, saw this situation, and their eyes immediately widened one by one, and their faces were full of surprise.

"Why haven't you been beheaded?"

"yes, no ......"

"Dare to ask Your Highness, this matter ......"

An official also looked at Zhu Gaochi with a puzzled face.

"These officials who have not been beheaded have committed crimes, but they are not too serious, and they do not prey on the common people.

Moreover, they all still have a conscience, and take the initiative to confess to Lonely, and report other corrupt officials and gentry!

With this in mind, Lone decides to give them another chance.

It's just that the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime is unforgivable, and Lone also let them experience the taste of being beheaded.

Believe.

This time, they no longer dare to embezzle, or shield those corrupt officials and corrupt officials! ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise!"

"After they experience it, they will definitely never dare to know the law and break the law, and violate my Ming law!"

Hearing this, the officials immediately praised again and again.

Indeed, they can all see that the officials on the stage are scared half to death, full of ugliness, and even scared to pee.

When they are officially restored, they will definitely remember this incident!

And, most importantly, he will be loyal to the crown prince Zhu Gaochi!

Below, after listening to Zhu Gaochi's explanation, the people saw that those officials were all praised, and they all hurriedly followed suit.

Kuang Ben, Yan Liangjie, Fang Ziming and other officials and gentry on the stage did not have such a fish and meat in the township, and those people did not have much hatred for Kuang Ben and Yan Liangjie, Fang Ziming and others.

And.

Even, some people have always felt that Kuang Ben, Yan Liangjie, Fang Ziming and others are still good officials.

Since the crown prince Zhu Gaochi wants to let these officials go, they are also happy.

They are also afraid that after killing all these good officials, the next batch of officials will be a group of jackals, tigers and leopards, and they will be even more harmed.

"Thank you, Your Highness the Prince!"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is merciful, and the ministers will definitely know that they will repay their kindness, and they will never do anything that violates the law and discipline in the slightest......"

On the stage, a group of officials who were still waiting for death, after listening to Zhu Gaochi's words, immediately kowtowed excitedly, and then directly cried excitedly.

……

Zhu Di sent Zhu Gaochi to Kaifeng Mansion, the main purpose was to let Zhu Gaochi understand the matter of governing the river.

Then, check the officials of Kaifeng Prefecture again.

Right now.

After a few days' work, Zhu Gaochi has dealt with almost everything.

Thereupon.

After Kuang Ben, Yan Liangjie, Fang Ziming and others thanked Zhu Gaochi and promised him again and again.

Zhu Gaochi explained to Wang Zhen, as well as Xia Yuanji, the household servant, and other officials, and resigned to Zhu Hu, the king of Zhou.

Then, he took Guo An and a group of guards to return to Beijing.

……

A few days later.

Jingshi, Imperial Palace, Wenlou.

After listening to Zhu Gaochi's narration, Zhu Di nodded with satisfaction.

"That's a wonderful move!"

"After this time, Kuang Ben, Yan Liangjie, Fang Ziming and other officials and gentry, as long as they are faced with corruption or oppression of the people, they will remember the fear of cutting off their heads, and they will not dare to do anything corrupt!"

"Moreover, keeping these officials and gentry who still have a conscience is also a great good deed for the people of Kaifeng Mansion!"

"This method, your imperial grandfather and we didn't come up with it, I didn't expect the prince to come up with it, and dare to do it, you, the prince, are finally qualified!"

"Thank you for your compliment!"

Zhu Gaochi's face was suddenly full of joy, and he did not explain that this method was suggested to him by the king of Shunde County.

With Wang Zhen's brocade guards by his side, nothing in Kaifeng Mansion can be hidden from his father!

And Guo An also bowed slightly.
