The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 142

This time, the fight with weapons has aroused a lot of discussion among the people in the valley.Since ancient times, there have been innumerable fights between the common people due to various conflicts and disputes such as competition for land and water sources, and these sturdy border residents on the border are no exception, and even more frequently.

Although there are not many armed fights of this scale this time, they are not too rare, so many people are not surprised.The focus of everyone's discussion is to see how the General's Mansion and the Department of Civil Affairs will handle this matter.

After all, Jiang Chuan's previous blades were all facing outwards. To the common people, Jiang Chuan's image is a great benevolent person. Giving them shelter, not to mention giving them a house to live in, food to eat, and distribution of land to them is a super big thing. good man.

So many people don't think that Jiang Chuan will deal with the criminals this time hard, at most he will kill a few first criminals.Although when the decree was promulgated, the small official of the Department of Civil Affairs went to each village to ask the head of the village to gather all the people, announced and explained one by one.

But many people still don't take it seriously, and don't take the decree seriously.After all, people have bullied people like fighting, so I must not be cowardly, and I must do it with him.

Moreover, many people think that the naturalized Mongols provoked first this time, so they are sure that the other party will not have too much trouble. Most interestingly, the general must still be open to us.

Of course, there are also a small number of people who think that Mr. Jiang will not be so merciful. After all, these people have violated the law and should be executed according to the law.

Moreover, these people were still deeply impressed by the captive beheading ceremony outside the valley more than half a month ago. More than 300 Tartar captives were killed that time, with heads rolling and blood flowing like rivers.What's more, the car cracked Oboi, the general of the Qing Dynasty. The heads of those Tartars are still hanging on the flagpoles at the gate of the city, and they have all turned into skeletons.

But this small number of comments were quickly ignored, and most people didn't take it seriously.Even the people in the two villages who committed the crime looked indifferent, doing what they should do, without the slightest sense of imminent disaster.

It wasn't until the Civil Affairs Department's guardian captain brought two thousand soldiers to the two villages to arrest people that they panicked, crying for their parents and begging for mercy.

Those soldiers were all temporarily dispatched by Jiang Chuan from the army to Liu Ji, and asked him to use them specifically to deal with this incident.

The soldiers looked cold and unmoved at all. According to the list, all the seven hundred and two people who were waiting to be executed were tied up and escorted to a temporary prison by the lake deep in the valley.

The remaining people in those two villages were also not allowed to move around under the supervision of a team of soldiers, which was like a prison.

At this time, the Office of the Department of Civil Affairs also posted a notice, announcing that three days later the criminals would be executed by the lakeside, and all villages would organize people to come to watch the execution.

Until now, many people realized that their previous thoughts were too simple and naive, and everyone was frightened, panicked, and felt that something big was about to happen.

Some people still hoped that the general's mansion would have different opinions, but the general's mansion didn't say a word, as if Mr. Jiang didn't know about it at all.

In this way, the common people finally realized that something big was going to happen this time.Public opinion boiled again.

Everyone finally realized that Mr. Liu, who looked at the gentle and elegant, was going to kill this time.

Liu Ji hadn't slept well for three whole days. He looked haggard, his eyes were bloodshot, and only a pair of eyes were shining brightly, revealing the determination and decisiveness in his heart.

The reason for this is not only because of making such a heavy decision, but also because of being tired.

Although all these people should be killed according to the law, they can't be killed casually, and there must be no missing procedures.

He took two thousand soldiers to set up a row of large tents by the lake. He lived here for the past few days and was so busy that he could hardly sleep all night.

There are many things that need to be done before the execution of a criminal.He led a group of small officials from the Department of Civil Affairs and the lieutenant colonel sent by Jiang Chuan to help continuously promote all criminals, clean up and screen them, and divide the criminals into five categories according to the mastermind, the mastermind, the dead, the wounded, and the clamor They were detained separately, and their statements were recorded one by one.

It took three days to do these things alone.

After these things were done, he issued another order, ordering the small officials of the Civil Affairs Department to take a team of armored soldiers to each village to announce the order, requiring each village to bring the elders of each village, chief armor When you come to watch the punishment, those who don't come will be punished with fifty floggings.

As soon as this order came out, the whole valley boiled up.

Many people finally realized that this time it was the real thing. Some Lizheng village elders came to plead with Liu Ji out of the mentality of the death of the rabbit and the fox's grief, but they were all stopped by the soldiers guarding the entrance of the big tent. .

These people didn't give up, and ran to the general's mansion to find Jiang Chuan, thinking that Jiang Chuan might speak better, but they were all stopped by Bai Mu, saying that the general was inspecting the barracks.

In the end, no one saw these people, so they had to die down and dare not make any further disturbances.

On the day of execution, before the sun rose, countless people came to the execution ground by the lake. Looking at the tall and large execution platform built by the lake, with hundreds of wooden pillars densely erected on it, many people gasped. With a breath of cold air, he was silent like a cicada, not daring to say more.

Around the execution ground, two thousand armored guards lined up to form a huge execution ground, isolating the crowd who came to watch the execution.But there are also some boulder highlands around, on which are also full of people watching the execution. Looking down from here, everything in the execution ground can be seen clearly.

Among the armored knights, [-] selected executioners from the army were wrapped in red cloth and held wide-bladed short knives on their backs.

On the opposite side of the execution platform, there is a temporary wooden platform. The majestic and stern author Liu Ji stands beside two guards.

On both sides of the wooden platform stood the civil affairs officials dressed in black, and on the other side stood the village elders from various villages who came to watch the execution.

Everyone was silent, and only the sound of the wind blowing the flags could be heard in the huge practice field.

A small official hurried over to the wooden platform and whispered: "My lord, the relatives of the prisoner are coming for a living sacrifice."

Liu Ji said solemnly: "Order the relatives of the criminals to stay away from the execution ground, and not to disturb or cause trouble, otherwise they will be charged with harassment."

The relatives of those criminals were guarded and confined in the village before, but today the guards were removed, so they all ran to the execution ground to see their relatives for the last time.

The petty official hurried to the outside of the execution ground to announce Liu Ji's order. For the first time, the relatives of the criminals outside the execution ground showed frightened expressions, bowed their heads on the grass and wept silently.

It has always been forbidden to kill relatives and friends in the law field, but I didn't expect to beat this Liu Ji, Mr. Liu, but he was so cruel, didn't he even have a little bit of benevolence and righteousness?It was too ruthless.

Many people wanted to intercede with the general, but they couldn't find Jiang Chuan at all, and their hearts were even more desperate.

The rest of the people who watched the scene were completely silent as they were when they watched the beheading of the Tartar captives last time.

In front of such a huge and majestic execution ground, people felt the majesty of the law for the first time, and felt the toughness and ruthlessness of Mr. Liu Jiliu, who usually looked at the immortal and refined, and was completely inferior to people's original discussion and imagination. The weakness in the middle, dare to set up such a terrifying execution ground.

Many people thought of all the benefits after entering the valley, they couldn't help but nodded at each other, and sighed in a low voice: "Hey, it's also self-inflicted, so I can't live."

When the sun rose three poles, Liu Ji nodded, and the law guard behind him ordered loudly: "Take the prisoner to the execution ground."

A commander below waved his command flag, two thousand armored soldiers gave way to a door, and a group of armored soldiers with spears lined up and escorted the long line of criminals into the execution ground.

The prisoners were dressed in reddish-brown coarse cloth clothes, their hands and feet were tied with thick hemp ropes, and they walked slowly towards the center of the execution ground in groups of a hundred.
