First Minister of Ming Dynasty

First Minister Section 378

It took almost one morning for Zhou Huiniang and many officials and soldiers to explain the main strategy of the Ming army and convince the weavers that the Ming army was for their own good.

At noon, Zhou Huiniang had a lunch with the big guys. It was very simple, only one dish and one soup, but the big guys ate extra sweet, because Zhou Huiniang announced that from now on, the workshop will prepare lunch for the big guys, free of charge !

Hearing this, there were sobs again... Just because they didn't have enough to eat, some people went to work on an empty stomach, tired from work, passed out, and even died of starvation, everywhere, who made their lives worthless ah!

After a whole day, a large number of weavers had already stood by Daming's side.The speed of their transformation is much faster and more violent than that of farmers.

During the day, Zhang Shicheng firmly believed that a group of weavers who were mainly women would not cause any trouble.

But at night, Zhang Shicheng realized that something was wrong.

The female worker returned home, put the rice into the pot, cooked a big pot of rice, and then the whole family got together and ate a full meal.

taste good or not?

Do you still want to eat?

If you want to eat, you have to listen to Daming, join hands, and kill those harmful things!

Still in the night, the female workers, their relatives, husbands, brothers... came out of the house one after another and gathered together.

On the other side, the Ming army also moved. In every street, there were special people waiting to lead the big guys to the designated location and distribute swords and spears to them.

But when these weapons were handed over to the weavers, the situation changed completely!

In the past, these people were poor people who had no power to restrain themselves and could only get what they wanted.But after getting the weapon, you have the ability to fight back and protect yourself.

This is not to say that they can go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but that those supervisors, foremen, and those eagles and dogs left over from the Yuan Dynasty can no longer continue to dominate.

Not only can't you bully people, but you have to be interrogated!

Zhang Ximeng finally issued the first official order, encouraging the weavers and family members to file a complaint, find out all the villains who have murdered the weavers and have had life-threatening lawsuits, and send them to the Yamen for immediate interrogation. If the charges are true, they will be executed immediately!

This order continued, and the city of Suzhou was completely boiled. Weavers and family scrolls made a decisive attack and rushed into one house after another.Those eagle and dog minions who used to be domineering, the overseer master, were all caught.

In order to escape, someone hid in the hut, and unexpectedly fell into the cesspit in a hurry...

At the same time, Zhang Ximeng actually ordered that thousands of bamboo poles were prepared outside the barracks, and each bamboo pole had a gleaming iron hook on top of it.

It wasn't until now that people realized that Zhang Xiang also had a decisive side.

All the pressure fell on Zhang Shicheng, including those wealthy and powerful families who were still gathered under him...

Chapter 529 Public Execution

So vicious, so vicious.

Is there any justice in inciting weavers and arresting good people?

I have heard that the ancient sages hated lawsuits. The Tang Dynasty only killed 27 people a year, and it was called a prosperous age... You Zhang Ximeng pretended to be a sage!

Butcher, shameless!

According to what you do, the heavens will be angry and people will complain, and the ghosts will be disgusted. This city of Suzhou is still under the rule of our old Zhang... No, the entire Ming Dynasty will come to an end. I, Zhang Shicheng, are the people's aspiration and my destiny!

At this moment, Zhou Huiniang in military uniform came to see her.

"King Huai, just now Zhang Xiang sent an order for you to go over and participate in the interrogation."

Zhang Shicheng was slightly taken aback, but he was angrily sent a woman over, obviously looking down on me.

Me, I endured it!

As long as Zhang Ximeng continues to torment, the people of Suzhou will be with me, and there will be a day when the final account will be settled.

"Okay, I'll go now."

Zhang Shicheng changed his clothes, and after he walked out, a large sedan chair carried by eight people came in front of him. This was the simplest sedan chair in Zhang Shicheng's hands.

Zhou Huiniang looked at the gold-painted patterns on it, and shook her head slightly.

"Prince Huai, since you have joined Daming, you must abide by Daming's laws... Let's not talk about anything else for now, sitting in a sedan chair is absolutely not allowed in Daming!"

"You are not allowed to sit in a sedan chair? What, what's the point?" Zhang Shicheng was furious, targeting me again?

"King Huai, sitting in a sedan chair is based on people as animals. It is no different from the Yuan Dynasty who regarded Han people as cattle and horses. In the Song Dynasty, people such as Wang Anshi opposed sitting in a sedan chair. In the Western Han Dynasty, even the emperor rode in a carriage. Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty was also sad because he couldn't find a horse of the same color, so he couldn't show off in front of the elders in his hometown...In Daming, except for weddings and brides, basically people were not allowed to sit in sedan chairs. King Huai used [-] poles to set up troops. Maybe it’s just for the sedan chair?”

"This..." Zhang Shicheng gritted his teeth, and said in his heart that you are such a powerful girl, and you still have a set, I will listen to you.

"Okay, let's go like this! There is a saying among literati that it is good to call Anbu to be a car." Zhang Shicheng said with a dry smile.

Zhou Huiniang nodded, and then she went in front of several bearers, "Stop carrying people. Go home, and in a short time, we will arrange for the equalization of the land. Wouldn't it be better if you have the land and your home and make decisions yourself? "

The bearers were all in a daze, this, this is a good thing they could not have wished for, and they have also heard the book, and they will indeed divide the land, but, but King Huai is here, how dare they?

A few people secretly looked at Zhang Shicheng, but Zhou Huiniang said: "King Huai has already joined Daming, he has nothing to say. Send an order to release all the servants of the palace, and let them go home and wait for Juntian."

Zhou Huiniang turned her head to look at Zhang Shicheng, and said, "Prince Huai is sincerely attached to me, so I'll give some money as payment for dismissal. I think King Huai won't refuse, right?"

Zhang Shicheng grinned, his beard trembled with anger, and asked me to pay?Me, did I promise to let these people go?

I am a majestic palace, no one serves me, what is the matter?

Zhang Shicheng said nothing, but Zhou Huiniang glanced at the Ming army who followed him.

"Everyone, don't be idle, do this for King Huai, start over again, everything will be renewed, everything should be changed."

The soldiers brought by Zhou Huiniang agreed together and rushed into the palace.

Zhang Shicheng gritted his teeth, almost furious, "Zhou, Zhou Qianhu, does Prime Minister Zhang know what you're doing?"

Zhou Huiniang smiled, "Prince Huai, I know that you are sincerely attached. Xiaoming Wang Han Lin'er is studying in Kaifeng at the moment. He only wants to be an ordinary person. Why do you care about these things?"

"me……"

Zhang Shicheng really wanted to say that I am not King Xiaoming, I still have tens of thousands of soldiers, and the people of Suzhou are with me... Unfortunately, he didn't say these words, he could only give Zhou Huiniang a vicious look, and then he took a big step to meet Zhang Ximeng.

Zhang Shicheng came to Zhang Ximeng with a mind of questioning, but he wanted to ask, what kind of treatment would he receive as King Huai? How could a thousand households bully him?

When Zhang Shicheng just arrived, he found that the execution was going on here. A bloody human head was chopped off, thrown into a pile of quicklime, rolled around, then picked up and hung on a tall bamboo pole.

What followed was a burst of warm cheers.

One after another, for a long time.

Witnessing all this, Zhang Shicheng suddenly felt chills in his neck and his legs were weak, and he didn't know which leg to take for a moment.

Zhou Huiniang smiled lightly and said, "Prince Huai, Prime Minister Zhang is over there, hurry over there!"

"Hey, hey!"

Zhang Shicheng reluctantly agreed, but his momentum when he came was much weaker.

"Zhang Xiang, you, call me!"

Zhang Ximeng smiled, "Please sit down."

When Zhang Shicheng sat down, Zhang Ximeng said: "When I came, Your Majesty told me to do justice for the heavens and eliminate harm for the people. I dare not neglect for a moment, so I ordered to start this matter. King Huai Take a look too!"

Zhang Shicheng reluctantly agreed, and sat down.

As soon as he sat down, a person was pulled out over there and sent to a high table.

Someone soon stood up and denounced his evil deeds, and the officials in charge of the Ming Dynasty wrote them down one by one, and it was almost the same.Going to the prisoner again, he angrily said: "You have committed many crimes, what can you say?"

"I, I, I beg you, please forgive me! Give me mercy!"

He cried and begged, but the result was more abuse.

Now that I know how to beg, why couldn’t you be merciful when you whipped someone with a whip?

You beat and killed two weavers with names and surnames alone, and you also ruined others' innocence, ruining several of them, and we all remember it!

When the weavers had finished speaking, the official looked towards Zhang Ximeng and saw that the red flag in Zhang Xiang's hand was raised, and he immediately understood.

"Execution!"

Another clean cut, the head fell to the ground, blood spattered three feet, wrapped in quicklime, and hung on the bamboo pole.

The movements were done in one go, very proficient, after all, there are already more than [-] people hanging on it, and the number is still increasing rapidly.

Every interrogation, every head, made Zhang Shicheng feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.

Those cheering weavers and common people seemed to pounce on him and tear him alive.

This feeling was so bad that after a while cold sweat ran down his forehead.

After thinking about it, Zhang Shicheng struggled for a long time before he stammered to Zhang Ximeng: "Zhang, Prime Minister Zhang, if you do this, if you do this, I'm afraid there will be wrongful convictions. What if you are wronged?"

Zhang Ximeng smiled, "King Huai also said that if you are wronged, it shows that most of them still agree. At this time, I admit that some people will not be so damned... But in this troubled world, how many innocent lives are treated as wormwood? Dispose of it like grass? King Huai has also led the army for many years, and he is used to seeing life and death. There are thousands of troops and horses, but you can't shake your heart. This small scene is nothing!"

Zhang Shicheng blushed, is it nothing?

There are only dozens of people, what am I afraid of?

Killing hundreds or thousands in one go, we have done it before!

It's just, it's just that I'm so flustered, what's the problem?

Just when Zhang Shicheng was puzzled, a prisoner suddenly yelled on the stage, "I'm wronged, I'm wronged! The higher-ups asked me to do it, and I sent something to the general's mansion!"

This voice made Zhang Shicheng startled, and in a daze, he understood what was going on!

In the past, he killed people like hemp and asked for whatever he wanted, that was because he was King Huai, he could kill whoever he wanted, but this time it was different, those who were squeezed by his killing stood up, and in turn killed his minions and accomplices... …If he continues to kill like this, sooner or later his head will appear on the bamboo pole!

"Zhang Xiang, God has the virtue of good life, so, killing people like this is too much, please give me some convenience!"

Zhang Ximeng smiled and said, "It will indeed be convenient...Zhou Qianhu, go and pass an order to tell the prisoners that they can choose bamboo poles in different positions."

Zhou Huiniang was sullen for fear of laughing out loud, so she hurriedly turned around.

Zhang Shicheng was stunned for a while before he understood Zhang Ximeng's meaning, "Mr. Zhang, what's the difference between this, this?"

"The difference is not small, the location is different, the feng shui is different, maybe you will be reincarnated as a good person in your next life!"

Zhang Shicheng is simply insane. If villains have a rank, Zhang Ximeng at this moment is the most vicious, full of evil, the world's number one villain!

You, how can you disregard human life?

A person who started his family with eighteen shoulder poles and killed the leader of one party would accuse others of disregarding human lives... It can only be said that the killing was really right. It hit his heart and made him panic, afraid, and panic.

Well done!

Every next prisoner, when their crimes were pointed out, reviled by everyone, and criticized by thousands of people, Zhang Shicheng felt weak all over.

It was as if countless ants were crawling under the skin.

This experience of public execution was so torturous that he almost collapsed.

Zhang Shicheng peeped at Zhang Ximeng several times, wanting to resign and get rid of this terrible place.But Zhang Ximeng has always been calm and calm.What the hell is going on with this man?

Why doesn't he know how to be afraid?

Just when Zhang Shicheng was about to collapse, a special prisoner was brought up suddenly. This was a woman, a very beautiful woman, tall and good-looking, she looked less than 30 years old, and her clothes were very Luxurious, but when it comes to the execution ground, who can control elegance.

She changed color, her face was full of tears, and she kept begging.

Zhou Huiniang saw it, and suddenly felt a movement in her heart, and said in a low voice: "Xuejiao!"

When the woman heard someone calling her, she froze for a moment, then suddenly raised her head and saw Zhou Huiniang.

"You, are you sister Huiniang?"

Zhou Huiniang smiled and nodded, "That's right, when we broke up in Yangzhou, I went to Daming, and you came to King Huai's command. In ten years, I didn't expect that we would meet again."

Xuejiao's face was full of grief. In the past, she was not as good as Zhou Huiniang, but now more than ten years later, Zhou Huiniang is dressed in official uniform, with a heroic posture and condescending.

And she was already in a mess and became a prisoner.

This difference is too big!

Xuejiao suppressed her jealousy, and begged, "Sister Hui, please help me. If you say a word, they will let me go. Our sisterhood!"

Zhou Huiniang took a deep breath, "National law is merciless, let's find out what you did first!"

Chapter 5 Thirty Copy Name Scene

Xuejiao's original surname is Hua, people like them, almost everyone has an unbearable background, and what they say is blood and tears.Everyone hides it in their hearts, and rarely speaks out, even the closest people may not know it clearly.

But Xuejiao's later life is still well known.

She originally fell into Zhang Shicheng's hands, and then Zhang Shicheng gave her to his general Li Bosheng.Along with Zhang Shicheng's occupation of Suzhou, Li Bosheng and others also went south. When they arrived in the world of flowers and flowers in the south of the Yangtze River, the most important thing they lacked was beautiful women.

Moreover, after a few years, when Xuejiao was a little older, she was not what she was before, and later on, she was simply sent to another courtyard by Li Bosheng, and she no longer touched her.
