Chapter 197

Chapter 197

At the time of the fire in July, Jia Cunren, Zhang Zongxi and other gentry and outlaws who were escorted to Beijing for treason had already been escorted to Beijing.

And on this day, together with Jia Dexin, they were formally escorted to the place where the lord was headed, that is, the West Market Pailou.

In the criminal department, Dai Guangqi also performed the first replay of these death row prisoners before Zhu Yijun's execution.

The system of execution of death row prisoners in the Ming Dynasty was the triple play.

That is to say, before the collusion, the Criminal Division will replay the matter once, during the collusion, and again after the collusion, to show caution.

Zhu Yijun didn't change his mind when the Criminal Division rehearsed for the first time.

Jia Cunren, Zhang Zongxi, Jia Dexin, etc. who were escorted to Xishi Pailou were also taken to the execution ground by the sergeants of the Ministry of Punishment shortly thereafter.

"It seems that Mr. Jia and others are really going to be decapitated because the officials and gentry pay food as an errand."

Li Zhi, the censor who had come here in advance to watch the execution, spoke angrily to the censor Qiu Tiao, who had left Zhang Wen in the censor and went to Beijing with Zhang Sijiao to inquire about the news.

Yushi Liuzhangwen said: "Let's wait and see, maybe the emperor will think that the emperor is lenient and not hook them up. After all, this time, both father and son will be killed, and the family of the gentry will be completely cut off! Does the emperor also want to sit and watch Jiangling?" Such a cruel method against the gentry?"

The Qianqing Palace at this time.

The golden wind was blowing, blowing Zhu Yijun's robe sleeves high, and at this time the list and Zhubi of the final decision had also been presented to him by Zhang Hong, the supervisor of ceremonies.

Zhu Yijun didn't look at the list, but looked at Yunyi outside the hall, and suddenly asked, "There should be a lot of people waiting in West Market right now?"

"Go back to the emperor, yes."

Zhang Hong replied.

Zhu Yijun pondered, and then asked: "Has the second replay of the Criminal Division arrived?"

Zhang Hong replied: "Not yet."

Zhu Yijun also replied, "We'll talk about it later."

But after half an hour, Zhu Yijun didn't wait for the criminal department's second replay.

"Is it necessary to give me such a long time to think about it?"

So Zhu Yijun asked this question.

Immediately, Zhu Yijun picked up the ink pen and ticked off all the names on the list.

"Your Majesty, the second reenactment of the Criminal Division is here!"

Zhang Jing ran over panting, and knelt down in front of Zhu Yijun, sweating.

Zhu Yijun waved his robe sleeves: "It's late! I wanted to spare a few."

As he said that, Zhu Yijun said: "The replay is still not allowed!"

Not long after, Yu Shi Jiang Dongzhi came to Li Zhi, and said in a deep voice, "I just got the news from the criminal department, and the decision was made! The second replay of the criminal department has also been called back!"

"what?!"

Li Zhi and Yushi Liuzhangwen were very disappointed after hearing this.

After hearing this, Qiu Xiao directly sighed: "The Son of Heaven still fears that Jiangling is too heavy!"

"However, this is also a good thing, after all, Jiang Ling is also a civil servant!"

Liu Zhangwen suddenly said something with a smile.

Both Li Zhi and Jiang Dongzhi nodded.

Then, Li Zhi asked Jiang Dongzhi: "Will the Criminal Division delay the third replay until noon?"

Jiangdong Zhidao: "Brother Xiuwu and Uncle Shi, they have already entrusted Xing Kesun to instigate Dai Dujian, and try to delay it until after noon, so that we can last until after autumn, and then we can give us more turning points room."

"My lords, we can't allow the court to kill our scholar-bureaucrats again!"

"Punishment cannot go to the doctor!"

At this moment, Liu Zhangwen spoke solemnly.

Li Zhi, Jiang Dongzhi, Qiu Xiao and other bureaucrats here all nodded their heads in agreement.

Six Corridors.

Sun Zhi brought back the second replay, and said to Dai Guangqi: "All of them have been decided, and the second replay has also been dismissed."

After hearing this, Dai Guangqi's expression sank: "This is dissatisfaction with the higher authorities, so there should be no further delay! Submit the third replay immediately! There is also the driver's license that Jin Yiwei just asked for, and I signed it and sent it over immediately!"

After speaking, Dai Guangqi took out the replay he had prepared and signed the driver's sticker.

Sun Zhi immediately suppressed the third replay with his hand, and said in a low voice, "I'm admonishing you! 5 taels, it's been delayed until almost noon."

Dai Guangqi glanced at Sun Zhi.

Sun Zhi bowed to Dai Guangqi.

Dai Guangqi knocked Sun Zhi away, and still signed the third replay, and whispered to Sun Zhi who was stunned, "Don't insult me ​​like this! No one who has an official career or serves the country's heart can do it." It is measured in money. The second rehearsal has been delayed for half an hour, and I have already lost the chance to become a public official, and I am worthy of the word "Scholarly Friendship"!"

"Step aside!"

As soon as Dai Guangqi spoke, he scolded Sun Zhi.

Sun Zhi had no choice but to step aside.

Therefore, the third replay after collusion came very quickly.

Zhu Yijun picked up the third replay quite satisfied, and said with a smile: "He's still a sensible man, tell him, don't worry about not having the chance to be a minister!"

"According to the order!"

Not long after, Li Zhi, Jiang Dongzhi, Liu Zhangwen and others saw Jin Yiwei coming with a driving sticker and the third replay.

"That arrives so fast?"

Li Zhi and other bureaucratic scholars were shocked when they saw this.

Jiang Dongzhi couldn't help gnashing his teeth and said: "Hateful! What's going on in the criminal department, I don't know how to delay it!"

Qiu Xiao also said bitterly: "It seems that not only the emperor is afraid of Jiangling, but also our scholars and bureaucrats are afraid of him. There are also many people in Jiangling. If Jiangling is not punished, the world will be in trouble!"

Liu Zhangwen even pointed at Jin Yiwei who was holding a driver's sticker at this moment: "Who are you trying to arrest?"

"Zha Yushi Liuzhangwen is suspected of accepting bribes from the Cai family of the county magistrate to excuse him for allowing thieves to run rampant in the village, and he will be sent to prison immediately!"

At this moment, a general banner officer of Jinyiwei walked up to Liu Zhangwen, took out his driving sticker, and waved: "Take Liu Zhangwen down! Take his crown and belt!"

Seeing this, Li Zhi hurriedly stood aside, keeping a distance from Liu Zhangwen.

Immediately, the two Jinyi guards came over and dragged Liu Zhangwen out.

Liu Zhangwen was stunned at first, but soon he understood, and he struggled to shout: "I was wrong! Yuanfu, I was really wrong! I shouldn't impeach Hai Rui, I know I was wrong! Don't do this! !"

Not long after, Liu Zhangwen was dragged down.

And here, Jin Yiwei also sent the third replay to the supervisor.

"Prepare for execution!"

The supervisor yelled out.

Jia Cunren, Jia Dexin, Zhang Zongxi and other gentry knew that there was no hope, so they completely collapsed and began to sob and cry.

Zhang Zongxi even shouted loudly: "What's wrong with me preventing treacherous ministers from harming Yangzhou for the sake of my country and my hometown?!"

"A minister with power in the court, if there is a wronged soul in punishment, the sky will punish him!"

"Heaven will punish me!"

Jia Cunren also shouted.

But no matter what Jia Cunren and Zhang Zongxi shouted, Zhu Yijun's determination to kill officials, gentlemen and doctors has been made, and naturally he cannot change it.

So, when noon came, these people were all beheaded, and their heads rolled to the ground.

Blood water spread along the severed head.

"Jiangling's power is so heavy and fierce, it is no different from Fen Yi!"

"It actually reproduced the example of Zhu Shangshu and the gentry."

At this moment Li Zhi spoke in a deep voice.

"I only sigh that Ling Chi has been abolished, otherwise I will be raped by this power!"

Jiang Dongzhi said with hatred in his eyes.

Qiu Xiao sneered, "It's not that he can't be cut, it's just that he must be punished for colluding with foreign barbarians!"

"So, yes."

Both Li Zhi and Jiang Dongzhi laughed.

Then, Li Zhi said again: "But why did Ling Chi only abolish the people of his own country and not the barbarians? This is not in line with benevolent government. It is suspected of not being good-neighborly and friendly. It is not an act of real benevolence!"

……

Zhu Yijun only abolished the punishment of Ling Chi for his own people, but made the decision of making Ling Chi the crime of traitors. Not only Li Zhi was dissatisfied, Xu Jie was also dissatisfied after learning of this decree, and said to his son Xu Ying:

"Send a letter to Jiangling. Since the Son of Heaven wants to practice benevolence, he should persuade the Son of Heaven to abolish all the punishments imposed by the Dabi, and treat the barbarians equally. It is best to be more merciful to the barbarians!"

After hearing this, Xu Ying said: "Why did father abolish the punishment of Dabi, so how will Jiangling be punished in the future?"

"What do you know!"

"If not, how can Jiang Ling be willing to allow the emperor to abolish the regulations that foreign barbarians can be Lingchi, and even colluding with foreign barbarians can be Lingchi?"

"Let the barbarians help the scholar-bureaucrats and let the Han people work hard from generation to generation!"

"You have to know that the most valuable thing in this land is not the fertile land, nor the gold and silver mines, but the Han people who have been tamed for thousands of years. They are hardworking and more tolerant than the Panyi Hu people."

"So, we can't let them have the consciousness that the emperor should love them more just because they are the people!"

"I would rather not kill Jiangling in the future than let such a will appear that only benefits the Han people of the country!"

Xu Jie said from the tall building in his own garden, staring deeply at the green leeks in the distance.
