The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 639 Beheading
After everyone retreated, Zhao Yanxun was not idle either.

On the desk in front of him, there was a large pile of papers stacked up, which were all transcripts sent from Yuanyang.

Before he left Yuanyang, he handed over various affairs to the Chief History Department and the Privy Council.

Except for urgent and important matters, he is asked for instructions by "telephone", and these two government offices are in charge of his daily affairs.

Every three days, the Chief History Department and the Privy Council will send the processed official documents and make transcripts to the front line on a fast horse, so that Zhao Yanxun can have a look at them in person.

Although the matter has been dealt with, Zhao Yanxun must read it again to understand the situation in the palace.

In fact, in the past three years, Zhao Yanxun rarely has leisure time.

As he was flipping through the pages, he heard footsteps outside.

I saw Hu Dabiao coming in, standing still at the door of the side hall, hooked his waist and reported: "My lord, Liu Shili has already caught him, and this guy wants to see you!"

"Caught it?" Zhao Yanxun was a little surprised.

"How did you catch it?"

Hu Dabiao replied: "This fellow changed into the clothes of ordinary soldiers and mixed among the routs. He hid in a firewood house in Nancheng last night. He was discovered by soldiers filling firewood this morning!"

Speaking of this, Hu Dabiao couldn't help laughing and said: "This guy and his nephew Liu Yuquan were beaten to death by the soldiers!"

Zhao Yanxun nodded, and then asked: "Have all the hundreds of households taken away yesterday been screened out?"

Bringing up the business, Hu Dabiao hurriedly reported: "Go back to the lord, the 76 people who were arrested, after their mutual identification, and the confessions of Zheng Fan and others, it has been confirmed that 45 people are the cronies promoted by Liu Shili himself!"

After saying that, Hu Dabiao took out a list from his pocket.

If the matter of finding Liu Shili was not more important, he would have reported it first just now.

Zhao Yanxun didn't go to pick up the list in Hu Dabiao's hands, and said calmly: "Send down the order, before lunch, get all the surrendered soldiers up, in front of them... cut off the people on the list!"

Hu Dabiao had no objection that these people should be killed.

Then Zhao Yanxun added: "Zheng Fan and his subordinates will also go!"

"Then... Liu Shili, do you want to see the prince?"

"Cut them all together!"

Hu Dabiao was deeply surprised by these words, but he didn't say much at the moment.

"Yes!"

"Leave this matter to Gao Zheng'an!"

"Yes!"

After ordering this matter, Zhao Yanxun continued to look through the documents, and Hu Dabiao exited the hall knowingly.

Beheading Liu Shili and his cronies in front of the soldiers will not only deter these people, but also bring this incident to an end.

When the battle between the two sides continued, Zhao Yanxun hated Liu Shili deeply.

But right now, Liu Shili was defeated and reduced to a prisoner, in the eyes of Zhao Yanxun, he was like nothing, naturally there was no need to see him again, he just killed him.

Time passed one after another, and soon the sun was in the sky.

The surrendered troops in Nancheng were called to the school grounds one after another, and stood in a large circle around the inner city gate.

Including Zheng Fan's subordinates, there were nearly [-] people present.

The scene was very quiet, these soldiers did not say a word, and strictly abided by the rules set by the Yong army.

From yesterday to now, more than [-] people have been executed for not following the rules. Gao Zhengan warned these people with blood.

Everyone was puzzled, but they all kept it in their hearts, and they just stood there blankly.

After all the people arrived, they only waited for a few minutes, and several people appeared on the South Gate Tower. The leader was Qianhu Gao Zhengan, and Zheng Fan was next to him.

Looking down, Gao Zheng'an said to Zheng Fan beside him: "Commander Zheng...you know the current affairs and can turn to the light in time, the prince is very satisfied with you!"

"Today, I will let you preside over the matter of beheading the traitors!"

Zheng Fan turned around, and said very politely: "The minister is wearing the body of a sin, the prince is so gracious, I am so grateful!"

What he said was gratitude, but Zheng Fan's real mood was fear.

If he hadn't made the right choice yesterday, he would definitely be the one who was executed today, unless he had already died outside the city.

After hearing Zheng Fan's words, Gao Zheng'an said, "Okay... let's get down to business first!"

"Yes!"

I saw Gao Zhengan walking between the battlements, looking at the people below, Zheng Fan said in a deep voice: "Brothers... I am Zheng Fan, Commander of Pingshanwei!"

"Liu Shili, those bastards who betrayed the imperial court and rebelled against His Royal Highness King Yong, they deserve death..."

"His Royal Highness Yong said, you brothers were deceived by Liu Shili, so you participated in the rebellion and made a big mistake!"

The mood of the people below became lively, and they didn't want to fight against the Prince Yong's Mansion, these words reached their hearts.

I only heard Zheng Fan continue to say: "Your Highness is benevolent... I can't bear to offend you, this rebellion only punishes the chief evil!"

Hearing this, everyone in the county was even more excited. They understood that telling them that they were pardoned meant that their safety was guaranteed.

Zheng Fan raised his hands in a bow, and then said: "Follow the prince's instruction, I will behead Liu Shili and his followers here today for public display!"

"Come here, bring Liu Shili and others out!"

The people who carried out this task today are all Zheng Fanshou's subordinates, and at this moment they brought the mortals out of the Wengcheng.

Including Liu Shili's uncle and nephew, there were 47 criminals who were to be executed.

These people were stuffed with cloth balls in their mouths, and their hands and feet were tied. They were taken to the tower and lined up in three rows. Each person was guarded by four soldiers.

Liu Shili heard what Zheng Fan said just now, and now he is yelling "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo".

He wanted to see Zhao Yanxun and give himself a chance to survive, but Zhao Yanxun didn't give him a chance to defend himself at all, Liu Shili was desperate and scared at the moment.

Like him, there are other people who are going to be executed. After all, there is no one who is not afraid of death.

Immediately afterwards, the executioner with a knife walked out of the urn.

These people are exactly the thousands of households who were taken away. They were not labeled as Liu Shili's party members, so they can survive.

They were originally taken away together, but now life and death are really different. These executioners have extremely complicated emotions, and they still need to do it themselves.

Slowly raising the knives in their hands, these temporary "executioners" all took a deep breath.

"cut!"

Zheng Fan roared on the tower, and the butcher's knives swung down one after another. Dozens of human heads rolled to the ground, and blood spurted out into the sky.

The surrendered soldiers watching the slaying all stared wide-eyed at this moment.

The scene in front of them shocked them greatly.

These people who were beheaded were all high-ranking military officers in ordinary times, and Liu Shili, the commander of the capital, was among them.

In the two years since the end of the world, Liu Shili, who is in command of the northern capital, can be said to be the heaven of the soldiers at the bottom.

But today, Liu Shili and his comrades were all looked at by King Yong, which was equivalent to changing the sky above the soldiers.

Today will be the first day for them to truly integrate into the palace.

Everyone was stunned and shocked, only to hear Gao Zhengan's loud voice: "Everyone, the prince has pardoned your sins, starting today...you will be reformed here!"

"Among you, those who perform well will be able to become a member of the Royal Army, and the rest will be sent back to their hometowns to farm!"

"Maybe you want to ask, how can you go back to farming if the original place is occupied by monsters!"

This is indeed a question on the minds of the soldiers below. Now that the northern land is almost completely occupied by zombies, it is impossible to talk about farming everywhere.

"I want to tell you that when the palace takes over the back area, all the monsters in the territory will be wiped out, just like the current situation in Longyou!"

Speaking of this, Gao Zhengan raised his voice even higher and said, "In a word, follow the palace and be loyal to the prince...you will all have a good time!"

Good guy, hearing these words, the hearts of the people below were stirred. This was the first time in more than two years in the last days that they saw the hope of future life.

Yes, these surrendered soldiers have no doubt that Prince Yong's Mansion has the ability to wipe out the zombies in the North.

At this moment, Zheng Fan shouted at the right time: "His Royal Highness King Yong, long live!"

This slogan must be shouted before dinner. Last night and this morning, the surrendered soldiers have already shouted twice.

Under the leadership of Zheng Fan, everyone shouted.

"His Royal Highness King Yong, long live!"

At this moment, this slogan is chanted among the people, but there is a different feeling.
