Reborn as a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 39 Blood-stained West Market

"What happened? Why was the street suddenly cleared?"

"I don't know. Everyone from Shuntian Mansion and the Wucheng Army and Horses Division has been mobilized. This battle is quite a fuss!"

"Could it be that the thieves who assassinated the Emperor were caught?"

"It's true or not. It's so weird to say that the emperor was lucky enough to fall into the water in Xiyuan..."

"Be careful!! Don't you take a look at where this place is? Is this just a private discussion?"

"Look, it's a factory show!!"

The next day.

A large number of officers and soldiers were dispatched in the capital's streets near the West Market, and all streets that must pass through the West Market were under martial law. This caused many people to talk.

At the feet of the Emperor, any disturbance in the capital would spread as quickly as possible. There were no secrets at all in the capital.

As batches of police officers from the West Police Factory escorted a group of arrested scum, they paraded in the direction of the West City. Many onlookers heard the shouting, and no one did not feel... shocked.

"Dang! The West Police Factory was ordered to carry out an errand. It was found that the military affairs bureau was under the control of the inner court. They bullied the superiors and suppressed the subordinates. They were crazy...According to the emperor's order, all the captured traitors were taken to the Western City to be skinned and stuffed with grass!"

"Since taking over as the eunuch in charge of the Military War Bureau, Wang Chaofu, he has withheld internal funds and transferred money many times, and passed off ordnance and firearms made directly for the Beijing camp as substandard ones. He has committed corruption of no less than hundreds of thousands of taels..."

"Chang Jinzhong, the supervisory eunuch of the Military Warfare Bureau, has withheld internal funds and misappropriated money since he took over as the supervisory eunuch, stole and sold arms and firearms, and secretly demanded and paid bribes..."

"Liu Zhenhe, the eunuch of the Armory Storehouse of the Military War Bureau, has been a thief since he took over as the eunuch of the Armory Storehouse, participated in the theft of arms and firearms, and allowed his subordinates to bully and dominate the market..."

"Liu Jinzhong, the eunuch in charge of Wang Gong Factory of the Military War Bureau, since he took over as the eunuch in charge of the factory..."

On the way to the West Market, a strong military eunuch, holding a gong, walked at the forefront. Facing countless gazes, he announced in detail the crimes committed by the imprisoned eunuchs. Many of the crowds of people watching became excited.

Oh my God, so much money has been embezzled!

The key is still the internal money of the greedy emperor.

Many people were shocked when they heard this.

This is not a small amount!

There are even some thoughtful people who secretly calculated in their hearts when they heard these amounts and discovered that the greedy silver amounted to millions of taels!

How greedy is this! !

People who don't know the truth are all shocked.

But how did they know that the above-mentioned money embezzled was the total amount embezzled over the years from the first year of Tianqi until it was found out by the Xiji Bureau not long ago.

"It's really crazy."

"Who says it's not?"

"It is simply unheard of for a group of the emperor's domestic slaves to dare to embezzle the emperor's internal funds."

"Huh, all the crows in the world are as black as black!"

"That's right, I'm afraid that those officials are more greedy than these slaves."

Fang Zhenghua, who was riding a horse, moved forward expressionlessly. However, what the crowds gathered on both sides of the street were whispering to each other could be clearly heard by Fang Zhenghua.

In today's execution in the West City, the group of people who will be skinned and stuffed with straw are all eunuchs and eunuchs from the Military War Bureau, and all the powerful eunuchs in the inner court will go to watch the execution without exception.

There was such a big commotion in the capital, not to mention how the capital would react. In the inner court alone, Fang Zhenghua knew that he would definitely be hostile to many people in the future.

This thorough investigation of the military situation is completely different in nature from the previous rectification of the Royal Horse Supervisor.

Although many people from the Royal Horse Prison were arrested, they did not publicize the numerous crimes they had committed in Beijing with such fanfare as they do now.

The people who had been executed by the Royal Horse Prison before were taken directly to the Western Market. Without saying anything else, they were executed one by one.

What now?

Fang Zhenghua tightened his grip on the reins and glanced around inadvertently. When he saw the crowd that was starting to stir, Fang Zhenghua's eyebrows widened.

From today on, he will become a square, no! It is the entire Xiji Bureau, in addition to unconditionally surrendering to the emperor in order to gain the emperor's trust and reliance, they have completely separated from the inner court Yousi!

There is only one road ahead of Fang Zhenghua.

That is to be unconditionally loyal to the Emperor. No matter what the Emperor says or does, he can only obey. If he loses the trust and reliance of the Emperor, he will die miserably! !

"Manufacturer."

"Manufacturer."

Unknowingly, the team from the West Police Factory headed to the West City. Gao Shiming, who arrived early, walked quickly in his bright red python robe.

Ok?

Fang Zhenghua frowned and looked.

"Master of the factory, all the executioners are here." Gao Shiming lowered his head and reported: "Security is enforced everywhere in the execution ground, and the inner perimeter is guarded by people from our West Police Factory."

At this moment, every one of the imprisoned criminals was struggling hard. The threat of death made them feel frightened.

But no matter how hard they struggled, they could not break away from the military officials who were holding them.

Fang Zhenghua, who saw this scene, frowned slightly and said, "Have all the powerful eunuchs from the Twelve Supervisors, Four Divisions and Eight Bureaus of the Inner Court come to the West Market?"

"Coming here."

Gao Shiming hurriedly said: "From Wei Changgong on down, they have gathered in the nearest area, but..."

When he said this, Gao Shiming subconsciously turned his head.

Following the direction Gao Shiming was looking, Fang Zhenghua saw many familiar people, headed by Eunuch Bingbi, the Superintendent of Ceremonies, and Wei Zhongxian, the Supervisor of the East Jishi Factory.

At this moment, the two people's eyes met together.

"Mr. Wei Chang, this founder is really too rampant, he must have deceived the emperor."

"That's right! What Fang Zhenghua is doing right now clearly shows that he doesn't take you seriously."

"From the West Police Factory..."

Many of the eunuchs gathered around Wei Zhongxian had extremely ugly expressions. They looked at Fang Zhenghua with hostility in their eyes, but the fear in their hearts made them instinctively fire at Wei Zhongxian.

"Shut up, everyone!!"

Wei Zhongxian suppressed the restlessness in his heart and shouted coldly, "The imperial ministers and the others deserved their punishment. They are all so crazy and dare to embezzle the emperor's internal funds! The emperor is furious about this. Today, you just stand here and don't Forgot the emperor’s will!!”

The strong rise of Fang Zhenghua frightened Wei Zhongxian in his heart.

But under the current situation, they were ordered to leave the palace and come to the West City to watch the execution. No matter how much they disliked Fang Zhenghua, Wei Zhongxian couldn't tell him.

Who knows if someone among them will secretly submit something that should not be said to the emperor.

"Kill them!"

"Kill them!"

The crowd gathered around the execution ground was shouting angrily, and the criminals who were taken to the execution ground were all stripped of their prison uniforms and tied to wooden stakes with ropes.

The emperor has really changed.

Being exposed to such an atmosphere, Wei Zhongxian's hanging hands trembled slightly, but fear arose in his heart. It seemed that after Xing Xiyuan fell into the water, Wei Zhongxian discovered that the emperor's temperament had completely changed.

Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger.

Others may not know it, but Wei Zhongxian knows very well that since Xiyuan fell into the water, Mrs. Fengsheng, who had always been trusted by the emperor, wanted to resist and serve the emperor in his daily life many times, but was rejected by the emperor.

What this means is clear.

"Proclaim the Emperor's Oral Order!!"

While Wei Zhongxian's thoughts were mixed, Fang Zhenghua, who had rushed to the high platform set up in front of the execution place, stood with his hands behind his hands, looked around the crowd gathered at the execution place, and shouted in a sonorous tone.

"end!"

"end!"

Many military officers gathered in front of the high platform shouted in unison at this moment, which made the originally angry crowd immediately become quiet.

Even led by some people, they began to kneel on the ground alternately.

Under imperial autocracy, the emperor represents absolute authority.

"I was shocked to hear about the evil situation in the war, and I was furious. As an eunuch and eunuch of the inner court, I didn't want to share your worries for you, but I tried my best to harm the country!"

Fang Zhenghua, who was standing on the high platform, read out an oral edict in a sonorous tone, "The Ming Dynasty is in chaos today, that is, demons and demons are rampant under its rule. From now on, whoever dares to violate the law, corrupt the law, and abuse power for personal gain will be the fate of them. Emperor Taizu Gao I will abide by the "Great Edict" set by me today. If the stolen goods exceed 60 taels, I will show my head to the public, but I will still peel off the skin and get the grass!"

Under the singing of a group of military officials, Zhu Youxiao's oral edict spread throughout the execution ground. This set tone inspired countless people kneeling on the ground.

really?

is this real?

Countless people have this doubt deep in their hearts at this moment. They suspect that they heard it wrong. For many years, the "Great Edict" set by Emperor Taizu Gao has not been spread.

But this moment happened again.

"Your Majesty issued an order that from today onwards, the demons and monsters being escorted to the execution ground will not have to wait for noon to be executed, but will be executed immediately!!" And in this atmosphere, with Fang Zhenghua's shout, the executioner who had been waiting for a long time appeared in the west Under the urging of the police officer, he raised his knife and walked towards the criminals.

At the same time, there were all the criminals with things in their mouths, even if they were tied to wooden stakes, struggling hard under the threat of death.

And some Western policemen came forward to remove the stuffing from these people's mouths.

"Spare me, I won't dare anymore!!"

"Your Majesty, please spare my life!!"

For a moment, the entire execution ground was filled with screams, but their fate had already been decided. Along with the bursts of screams, the West City execution ground was filled with blood...
