It was indeed murder.

When Qin Ke, Abu, Xiaoqian and others rushed to the entrance of the vegetable market, they only saw a crowd of people under black pressure, and hundreds of people turned their heads to each other, looking nervous and excited.

The execution ground is set up here, only a few miles behind, is the palace of Jingwu Jianye City, the Hongwu Gate is greatly open, the palace wall is vermilion, the eaves are strict, with solemnity and majesty, the weapons in the hands of the forbidden army do not move at all.

"Gao Ruo is ...... As the Taicang Commander of Hanoi County, he was secretly greedy for 3,000 stones of grain, and the evidence was conclusive...... The county of Hanoi County was involved in the case of destroying the embankment and flooding the fields, and the evidence was conclusive......"

Although the matter has not been mentioned for a long time, the reason for this silence is not because the people are satisfied.

This time, the Tingwei Mansion issued a notice to publicly execute the officials involved in the destruction of the embankment and flooded fields, and the emotions that the people had been squeezing in their hearts suddenly erupted in an instant like a volcano that had been silent for a long time.

"I'll just say, Prime Minister Zhuge is on top, Jing Wu can't let these villains act recklessly, you see, what's the use of being greedy for so much food? Even if it is exchanged for gold and silver, it is not that it cannot be brought into the coffin?"

"Hmph, bring it into the coffin? This time, there are no corpses, what kind of coffin? These rats are also worthy of being put into the soil for peace?"

"Yes. No wonder Tingwei hasn't made any movement these days, and his feelings are secretly investigating the case!"

So in the past month, Tingwei, who has been scolded by the people to the point that he is almost really "bloody", suddenly turned into a delicate and beautiful flower in their mouths. Although most of the people did not know literature, the praise on their lips continued like a surging river.

Qin Ke and the others squeezed through the crowd with some difficulty, and finally reached the front row in the anger of the crowd who were pushed and shoved, and the officials who were catching up with the Tingwei Mansion waved lightly.

"The above officials, in accordance with the law of the country, will be beheaded!"

The thin piece of bamboo sliced through the sky, and then fell heavily, and the moment it bounced back on the ground, the stout executioner slashed down with a giant axe in his hand.

As the iron came into close contact with the flesh, the bones and tendons were cut off in an instant by the heavy, sharp blade of the axe, and the head with blood stained hair fell from the platform.

There were a total of forty officials on the execution platform, and all of them lost their heads at this moment.

"Good!" the people let out a cheerful cry, and some old women began to recite the mantra of death.

"Okay! Kill well!" The scholars of the Taixue Hall were also emotional, and among them, Xiao Qian shouted the loudest.

Qin Ke's face was a little ugly, although he knew that these people were innocent, but when these people's heads really flew down in front of his eyes, he still had a little shock in his heart.

Of course, he remembered these names, because these names had given him a headache for several days, making him constantly repeat the blood of the Ninth Master in his dreams.

These people ...... It's all on the list. At that time, he handed over the list to Zhuge Wanling, but Zhuge Wanling did not look at the list. However, today, these heads fell to the ground one by one, and he remembered that he had said in the palace that he should have said "kill them all", but now that it has become a reality in front of his eyes, he even wonders if the death of these people is his own fault.

"Ah Ke, what's wrong?" Abu sensed that something was wrong with Qin Ke and asked in a low voice.

Qin Ke shook his head and said, "It's nothing, it's just ...... It's a little uncomfortable. ”

Abu looked at it, and immediately understood where Ah Ke's discomfort came from, and he only later learned that Qin Ke entered the palace and handed over a list like Zhuge Wanling, but he felt that there was nothing wrong with such a thing, if these officials did not die, I don't know how many people would be killed, just by destroying the embankment and flooding the fields, how many people would be ruined?

"It's fine. It's all wicked people. Abu comforted, "Their deaths are self-inflicted, and they have nothing to do with you." Even if there is no such list, sooner or later the gentleman will have to deal with it, this time...... Maybe the time has come?"

Probably because Zhuge Wanling was already angry in his heart after the assassination, he really paid attention to the problem of this group of officials, right?

Qin Ke shook his head, his face was still ugly, but his eyes had eased a lot, and he also knew that his unjustified guilt was unreasonable, but seeing so many people separated under the axe, he was a little reluctant to look at it anymore, pulled Abu's sleeve, and slowly left the group.

The beheading of forty criminal officials in Jianye City at one time may not be the last time, but since Jing Wu saw it, it was unprecedented. When the people returned home with the hope of "clarity and clarity", the first task was to talk to their wives about the scene of the official's head being eaten by dogs.

Some of the people even came from the disaster-stricken areas themselves, and after their families were ruined, they went into exile to Jianye City to live like a wild ghost, and when today's scene happened, their hands trembled and they wept bitterly as they made grass at the door. Although it is no longer possible for their relatives to see each other again, knowing that there is still justice in the world, they have a little more confidence in their hearts.

The entire Jianye City is praising the court captain, the court, and the small lord...... Most importantly, praise Zhuge Wanling.

On the contrary, in the entire Jingwu officialdom, all the officials' backs were a little stiff, and they didn't dare to make a sound when they walked, as if they were afraid of attracting death, which can be said to be everyone's own danger.

Qin Ke listened to the first chapter of what Mr. Storyteller said, today, because of this happy killing, the teahouse also changed today's content, and changed it to the story of Zhuge Wanling's tongue warrior clan Confucianism, and finally established Jing Wu's immortal feat.

It's just that few people in this world know how Zhuge Wanling persuaded the scholars to reunite and help him establish Jingwu, so these romances are actually jointly compiled by good people and sour and rotten literati.

But it's not over.

The next day, the Tingweifu posted a notice again.

Countless people gathered to the court again, and the second group of corrupt officials, nearly 50 prison officials in prison uniforms, lined up, trembling in front of the executioner, stepping on the steps that symbolized death, staggering upward, and the people in the audience were even more excited, and some shouted: "Kill that corrupt official!"

The rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves that had been prepared in advance flew out of the crowd, but most of them were thrown on the sturdy executioner.

However, there is still an unlucky official, before his head hits the guillotine, he was smashed by the stones thrown by the people and smashed a Buddha born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven, after the Tingwei Mansion checked, it was found that this person had lost his breath, but still according to the form, he was placed on the guillotine, the axe fell, and the body was divided into two, but many people cursed that he did not suffer too much sin.

However, the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth days......

Every morning, the Tingwei Mansion would repost a new notice on the bulletin board, and the officials involved in the case became more and more extensive, and in the back, even many central officials who were usually difficult for ordinary people to even see each other had gone to the torture table and lost their lives, no matter how the officials of the Tingwei Mansion washed it, the blood on the torture platform had already seeped into the wood.

The smell of blood is getting stronger and stronger, and the number of officials who die in a single day can reach up to 100, and with the addition of those who have been confiscated from the border, at least 1,000 officials will be implicated in this case of "destroying embankments and flooding fields" within six days......

When killing became a strange thing, everyone went from being frenzied and excited at the beginning to trembling at the back.

The people no longer dared to pass by the torture platform easily, and many even claimed that the place often screamed in the middle of the night, and the children did not dare to cry easily at night, because it would "attract the lonely ghosts of the torture platform to ask for their lives".

But Tingwei's face remained unchanged, but he replaced a group of officials who were exhausted from cleaning up the corpses, and still read out the official charges every day, and then ...... Another new round of killings.

"You say, what is he doing here?" Mulan looked at the torture platform, there are not many people coming to see the killing these days, so the entire area around the torture platform is very sparse, she can clearly see those heads rolling on the ground, and her face is calm, she has long been used to life and death.

Liu De stood beside her, with his hands behind his back, the ancient sword at his waist, but his eyes were full of worry, and after a long time, he shook his head and said, "This may only be known to him." ”
