Text Chapter 145 One hundred and seventy-eight human heads
The eyes of the three patriarchs widened: "It's not good above, it's not good below, just let me take someone to destroy the City Lord's Mansion." “
"Nonsense!" the Grand Patriarch glared angrily.
Ye Chenglong just watched coldly, he knew that the third grandfather was just talking about it, of course he knew very well that the Ye family's private soldiers were a vulnerable rabble in front of the regular garrison.
When the old people were quiet, he suddenly said, "Three grandfathers, grandchildren have something to say." “
Ye Chenglong is smart and hateful, and he has the attention of the three patriarchs, many times they call Ye Chenglong instead of Ye Chenglong's father when they discuss things, the three old men look at each other and the patriarch nodded: "What does Jackie Chan have to say?"
Ye Chenglong clasped his fists and saluted, his attitude was respectful, his face was light and calm, and he slowly spoke: "Although Sun Er went to Tongyue City this time and didn't see the city lord himself, I can clearly feel his attitude towards the Tang family's boy, this city lord of Tongyue City, Xin Congyun, is from the army, and his temper is also notoriously bad, but his fear of the Tang family's kid is by no means pretended. “
The three patriarchs still couldn't hold their breath: "What do you want to say?"
Ye Chenglong gritted his teeth and said: "Since we can't clean up the Tang family kid and the city lord's mansion now, let's just wait and see how things develop, as the saying goes, the rafters that come out of the head rot first, and our Ye family doesn't need to be in such a hurry." And I feel that the Tang family kid is not doing things very easily this time, if he can sit firmly on this city lord, we can also take refuge as soon as possible, after all, our Ye family is just for money, not really competing for power with the city lord's mansion. “
After being silent for a moment, the three old men looked at each other again, and the great patriarch spoke: "Jackie Chan, you talk carefully." “
Ye Chenglong nodded and said: "First, no matter how strong our Ye family is, it is only this slap-sized Wu Acropolis, and the Tang family kid represents the Zhenbei General's Mansion this time, if we are too domineering, I think the top ten gangs will be our end." “
The second patriarch nodded and said with a solemn face: "This is reasonable, the people don't fight with the officials!"
"Exactly!" Ye Chenglong continued: "Second, the top ten gangs have indeed gone too far in the past two years, let's just say how many evil things the Eternal Night Society has done outside in the name of our Ye family, in fact, many times we can't control them, it is better to take advantage of the hands of the City Lord's Mansion this time to completely pull out this cancer, and not leave a stigma for our Ye family." “
The three patriarchs pursed their lips and nodded, but there was a wise expression on their rude faces: "Yes, I also have a headache about this matter." “
"Third, the ten major gangs have done all the bad things in Wu Acropolis, and they are already a bit of a rat on the street, no one resisted before for fear of retaliation, but things must be reversed, even if there is no Tang family kid to make a move, I'm afraid the day of the top ten gangs is not far away, and now the Tang family kid is cutting off his head and giving money at a critical moment, this is a simple way to buy people's hearts, but now it is the right time, this is called conforming to the people's will. Ye Chenglong said the most critical idea.
The patriarch pondered for a moment: "I can think clearly about a lot of things you analyze like this, we were indeed impulsive at the beginning, then okay, just do what you want, let's wait and see what happens!"
"Thank you, three grandfathers!" Ye Chenglong saluted again.
The next day, the Ye family suddenly became silent, which made the families who tried to fight against the City Lord's Mansion a little leaderless, but these families were not stupid, and they all had their own sources, and when they got the same news as the Ye family, they made the same choice, and in an instant, the top ten gangs were completely abandoned, and the only thing waiting for them was the people's judgment.
One hundred and seventy-eight heads is indeed an unbelievably large number, in order not to make the city ghostly, three days after the end of the black storm, Hu Zhuzi specially led people to find an open space outside the city to set up a dharma field.
On the day of the execution, the people of ten miles and eight towns came to watch, Hu Zhuzi and Fu Bo led the security team to maintain order nearby, and there were a large number of garrisons guarding the town.
It's not yet February, and the cold wind blows down the bare treetops, digging straight into people's necks, freezing people rubbing their hands and stomping their feet, but this does not affect people's mood in the slightest.
The old man of Dawangzhuang shrunk his sleeves and froze his snot out, but he still grinned and said: "God, this is one hundred and seventy-eight living people, this is really a big scene, I have never heard of it in such a long life." ”
There was a young man on the side who happened to be Zhang Erniu, who was selling tofu in Wuweicheng, he pursed his mouth and didn't say a word, he was holding a teenage doll in his hand but his fists were clenched tightly: "They should die!"
There are also ordinary people who wear linen and wear filial piety to come to the Dharma field, they are not to see off the beheaded people, they all have relatives who have been killed by these gangs.
Because Hu Zhuzi and Fu Bo were both maintaining order below, and Captain Hu was also working with the garrison below to prevent accidents, there were City Lord Tang Feng and City Lord Mansion Office Director Hu Yang and temporarily borrowed Garrison Captain Xin Chao sitting on the rostrum.
After a while, 178 death row inmates were escorted to the court in a huge manner, and the crowd under them also stirred, some applauded, some took cold air, some watched coldly, and some dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, but more came to see the excitement.
Glancing at the team of people who couldn't see the head, Xin Chao was also a little uncomfortable, he didn't have any concept when he heard that he was going to cut down these people, and he would cut it down, and he had seen a lot of things about the son who was the lord of Zhongcheng cutting off his head, but now he was also shocked when he saw such a long line, and this feeling was really different from the one or two people he had seen before.
He forcibly suppressed his heart and said to Tang Feng: "Brother Feng, in fact, you don't have to execute them in such a hurry, after a while, the local governments will come to lead people, and then you don't need to mobilize the people." “
"Hehe!" Tang Feng smiled lightly.
"Dog officer, Lao Tzu will be waiting for you below!"
"Lord Castle Lord, spare your life!"
"Tang Feng, you can't kill me, who is who in my family. “
There were all kinds of shouts in the low, Tang Feng couldn't see anything on his face, but he was nervous in his heart, this was one hundred and seventy-eight people, not one hundred and seventy-eight pigs, even if they were heinous, but to kill so many people at one time, Tang Feng felt that he was also very uncomfortable, it seemed that he wanted to find a monk to talk to at night.
But no matter how heavy the psychological burden he will have, Tang Feng will not let the officials in other places take these people away as Xin Chao said, to be honest, he doesn't trust the officials here very much, let them take people away, it is estimated that they will be released in a few days, and it will be very troublesome to take revenge on the people at that time.
And then there is Tang Feng is Liwei, although he said that he wants to win back the hearts of the people, but it is difficult to lose the hearts of the people and it is easy to get them, at least it is a long process, but fear is different, this is an immediate effect, and it will be useful in the future when facing the common people or those big families.
