Chapter 419: execution
Chapter 419 Execution
The cabinet read the memorial of Fan Huailiang, the magistrate of Chenzhou, looked at each other, and sent it to the imperial study without delay.
The public house was quiet, and the elders were not in a calm mood.
Master Xiaowen is out of Beijing, and his influence in Beijing has not weakened at all. Not only has it not weakened, but the sense of presence has also become stronger. After all, when he was in Beijing in the past, he didn't come up with the method of drying salt in sea water.
This time he led people to kill nearly 400 heads of pirates. This is a real military achievement! This time, Master Xiaowen's reputation of both civil and military skills is confirmed, one can imagine the shock of the courtiers at the Great Court Meeting tomorrow.
Master Xiaowen is still so young, what a formidable young man!
Oh, every time this time is the highlight moment of Marquis Wu An, envy, envy and hate! When I was young, I relied on my father, and when I was old, I relied on my son. How could that old boy of Marquis Wu'an have such a good life?
In the imperial study room, Emperor Taikang opened Fan Huailiang's memorial, his eyes fell on it, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he paused on that number for a long time.
Nearly 400 heads...
It is true that in a scuffle involving tens of thousands of people, the death toll is in the thousands. A mere four hundred is nothing but Shanyun County.
Emperor Taikang knew best about the situation in Shanyun County. The tax was the least, the population was the least, pirates were rampant, and the people were in dire straits...The place was too far away from the capital, and the imperial court wanted to control it, but it was beyond their reach.
Unexpectedly, Wen Jiuxiao killed nearly 400 pirates just after he took office. Wen Jiuxiao was really a capable minister, Emperor Taikang didn't show it on his face, but he was a little complicated in his heart.
Wen Jiuxiao...
His eyes fell on the name, and the young but expressionless face appeared in front of his eyes, and he felt a little regretful. Such a capable young man should belong to the royal family. Back then, if he and An Le could...
No, no, you can't appoint him to be a consort. The consort of this dynasty can only serve as a vacant post. It's a pity that Wen Jiuxiao is capable of both civil and military affairs, and only takes up a vain job. At the beginning, he also ignored An Le's intentions because he cherished his talents.
Facts have proved that Emperor Taikang's vision was precise. Since entering the court, Wen Jiuxiao has never let him down. Whether it's studying in the Imperial Academy, investigating cases in Dali Temple, or doing those errands behind the scenes, he can do his job well.
As an emperor, Emperor Taikang appreciated such courtiers. But as a father, he...
Taikangdi's breathing became short of breath suddenly, he closed his eyes, trying to shake this thought out of his mind.
After a long while, Emperor Taikang opened his eyes, and there was no wave in his eyes.
Suddenly, a kind of hope arose in his heart, he wanted to see how far Wen Jiuxiao could go in the end, and what Shanyun County would look like under his governance.
Maybe he should send someone to Shanyun County to take a look now!
Wen Jiuxiao didn't know Taikang Emperor's complicated and unpredictable thoughts at all, even if he knew, he wouldn't take it to heart.
If time goes back, he will still shoot that arrow, and he does not regret his choice.
As a man, if he can't even protect his beloved woman, what's the point of living?
He even thought about it, the worst thing would be that the emperor dismissed him from his official position. Then he will take Yu Xiaozhi out of Beijing to play in the mountains and rivers, why not for the rest of his life? After having Yu Xiaozhi, he doesn't have to be an extremely human minister.
Fortunately, the emperor was shameless and did not dismiss him from his official position, but demoted him from the capital.
He can accept being dismissed from office, but it's just a drizzle of demotion!
A wanted warrant was pasted on the city wall on the right side of the city gate of Shanyun County, and a circle of people below pointed at the wanted warrant.
There was a middle-aged man who could read and read aloud the words on the notice. The people beside him couldn't wait any longer, and interrupted directly: "Who is this guy above?"
The middle-aged man paused, "The third leader of the pirates turned out to be the leader of the bandits on the Tiger Mountain. The government suppressed the bandits. He escaped and went to join the pirates, and became the third leader. Oh, this person has committed a heinous crime." , killing people like hemp. It was his idea that the pirates entered the city last time."
"It turns out that the Ma family and the Yan family were in collusion with him! Fortunately, our county magistrate is wise, and the pirates did not succeed. Otherwise, what would our county be like?
"This kind of person should be cut to death."
"Yes, ten thousand cuts!" Many people were filled with righteous indignation, "Thousands of cuts are light, if you ask me, even if such a bad species goes underground, they will have to go to the bottom of the ground, pull out their tongues and cut their noses, and beat them into the ground. Eighteen layers of hell."
The onlookers gritted their teeth, showing their hatred for pirates.
"By the way, the Ma family and the Yan family who colluded with the pirates will be executed tomorrow, do you know?"
"Really, then I have to go and see."
"Hey, isn't everyone executed after autumn? Why is it earlier?"
"Hey, the two of them are gangsters, anyway, it's a dead word. Early chopping and late chopping are both chopping, and early chopping can also save some food. Why wait until after autumn?"
"That's true." This reason was quickly accepted by everyone.
In the crowd, there was a burly man wearing a bamboo hat, staring at the wanted portrait on the wall with a sullen expression. Hearing the discussions of the people around him, he pushed down the bamboo hat, turned around and squeezed out.
He was so strong that several people almost fell down. When they stood still, the man had squeezed out of the crowd, and they only had time to see half of their faces under the bamboo hat.
The man walked faster and faster, and when he returned to the temporary place, he took off the hat and there was a two-inch scar between his eyebrows. The appearance of this man was exactly the same as the portrait on the wanted notice, and he was the third head of the pirates. .
He was going to enter the city, but now... the city is probably covered with his portraits!
He was full of hostility, and kicked fiercely towards the table, venting the anger in his heart. Things that are not enough to succeed but more than ruined, if such a small thing can't be done well, they deserve to be chopped off! A useless person does not deserve to live.
The little guys outside naturally heard the movement in the house, but no one dared to go in and have a look. They all lowered their heads, wishing they could stay far away.
Soon at noon the next day, prisoners from the Ma and Yan families were shackled and knelt on the ground by the officials. People watching the execution stood behind the cordon. egg.
Following Wen Jiuxiao's beheading order, the executioner raised his sword high, reflecting the cold light in the sun.
On the execution ground, not all the prisoners from the Ma and Yan families were beheaded. Some of them were brought here so that they could witness the execution of their relatives with their own eyes, which served as a deterrent. Many female prisoners and the mentally weak were trembling with fright, and even fainted several times.
Originally, Wen Jiuxiao was planning to kill a few more, isn't this Yu Zhi's joy? In order to accumulate virtue for the child in her womb, Wen Jiuxiao changed her mind. Only Patriarch Ma, Patriarch Yan, and their sons and confidantes who participated knowingly and participated were killed. Anyway, they are capital crimes, but life crimes are inevitable, and they all have to be reeducated through labor.
Even so, there were twenty-three people who were cut down from the two families.
