The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

Feeling the solemnity of the atmosphere, Gongsun Ce quickly changed the subject: "By the way, I received the news this morning that Lord Yan Song, the elder of the court, left the court and patrolled the south with Shang Fang's sword."

"What? Touring the south?"

"Is it fake? How is it possible?"

Everyone couldn't believe it.

Bao Zheng murmured: "If we follow the footsteps, he should have arrived in Shandong."

Thinking about Yan Song's various unexpected actions in the court recently, Bao Zheng had an illusion that this old Yan Ge was likely to use the Confucian mansion as a knife.

Bao Zheng thought to himself: "If that's the case, Mr. Yan Ge may or may not have a solution."

When Bao Zheng was kicked out of the imperial court to inspect the south of the Yangtze River, his first stop was Shandong. After investigation, he found that the Confucian Mansion in Shandong had countless grains, which were enough to support Shandong for a whole year and there was a surplus.

At that time, Bao Zheng wanted to ask for some food from the Confucian Mansion, but the Confucian Mansion refused at all. He was an iron rooster, and finally drove Bao Zheng out of the Confucian Mansion very arrogantly.This incident made Bao Zheng's perception of the Confucian mansion suddenly drop from "a model scholar in the world" to "a bourgeois profiteer".

Then he tried his best to get food from the Confucian Mansion to help the displaced people, but he was disgraced by the Confucian Mansion, and finally he could only be driven out of Shandong in despair.

He was forced to leave Shandong, not voluntarily.

At this moment, Bao Zheng secretly expected Yan Song to teach Confucius a lesson.However, he underestimated Yan Song too much. How could he easily let the Confucian mansion go without such a big energy layout?

……

……

This side of Shandong.

When Yan Song came to Shandong, he went straight to the Confucian mansion. As for Zhang Quanshan, it was not in the plan at all. He didn't expect that Zhang Quanshan would hit the gun himself.

If it was any other foreign official, Zhang Quanshan would probably have beaten him to death and left in despair. (Bao Zheng: I don’t cry/(197ㄒoㄒ)/~~)

But Yan Song's golden finger is close to him. When others are painstakingly fabricating a conspiracy, Yan Song only takes a few seconds to know the conspiracy, and then the enemy knows and we secretly arrange countermeasures, and even use it to do bigger things.

Zhang Quanshan was sweating profusely, his face was pale, and he looked at the evidence in front of him in horror, including the fact that he had sold more than 100 million shi of grain to grain merchants, that he ordered people to burn the grain warehouses for fear of exposure, and that he ordered the White Lotus Sect to Assassinating the chief minister of the dynasty with Liangshan rebels...all the evidence.

Some of them are true, but some are false accusations, but... Zhang Quanshan has no way to defend himself, because just selling grain and burning grain warehouses is enough to ransack his home and behead his head.

"Master Yan, I cooperate!"

Zhang Quanshan knelt down and kowtowed without hesitation.

Yan Song smiled and nodded: "A wise choice! As long as this matter is done well, I will keep your family safe!"

Zhang Quanshan seemed to be ten years older all of a sudden, with more wrinkles, he said bitterly, "Thank you, sir."

An hour later, a message spread throughout Jinan City.

"Mr. Yan Ge is going to preside over the public trial at the execution ground. The targets are the chief envoy and the six major grain merchants. All the people can go to the scene to watch."

Chapter 98 The Unconventional Public Trial [4]

Yan Song knew from the very beginning that it was not easy to deal with the Confucian government.

So Yan Song prepared a lot of means.

The first step is to weaken the terrifying reputation of the Confucian government in Shandong that everyone admires.

The Confucian family has lasted for more than 2000 years from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Ming Dynasty. After the emperors of each dynasty ruled the world, they would give generous rewards to the Confucian family to show their respect for Confucianism.

In the passage of time, the position of the Confucian family in the hearts of the people of the world has already become deeply ingrained, and in the hearts of the common people, as the "everything is inferior but reading is high" has become popular, the Confucian family has also become a holy place.

In the hearts of Shandong people, the Kong family is from Shandong, that is, "one of their own people", and this own person is still a family of saints admired by the world, and even the emperor respects them. This sense of honor and honor is deeply felt. Deep into the hearts of these people.

This sense of honor is nonsense, after all, how good the Kong family is has nothing to do with them, and the Confucius family also expressed shame to be with these untouchables.But no matter what, the people still feel that Confucian Mansion is the glory of Shandong and their own.

Yan Song now wants to tear away this sense of honor, let them recognize the Kong family, and prevent them from standing in the same trench as the Kong family.

So a big public drama is needed to tell all the people that the Kong family is not a holy place, but a landlord, a philistine landlord, a landlord who can harm the people for more land, and a landlord who not only does not help but sneers when the people are displaced.

……

The Jinan Execution Ground is located in a remote area in the south of Jinan City, near the mass graves.

This should have been a deserted place, but today more than [-] people came here.

Eye-opening, the biggest parent officer was arrested and tried.

It's so fresh, I didn't expect such a way to do it.

This chief envoy, Zhang Quanshan, is well known to the common people. After all, the biggest official in Shandong is domineering on weekdays, and his son is a dandy bully who is even more domineering. If the girl of any family is more beautiful, the family will be in big trouble No, there is no good impression in the hearts of the people.

In addition, there are actually six major grain merchants, and the common people don't have a good temper towards the grain merchants. After all, once this disaster year comes, the price of grain will go up and up, and the price will go up!The hard-earned money earned by these people on weekdays was robbed just like that.

This public trial can be said to be very satisfying, so after word of mouth, more and more people knew about it, and they put down their unimportant work and rushed to the execution ground one after another.

There are also some smart vendors who feel that there is a big business opportunity here, and then push herbal tea, tea, snacks, and various gadgets to the execution ground to set up a stall, and the business is not bad.

When Yan Song came here with a large army, Jinyiwei, Dongchang troops, and detaining prisoners, he saw that this place had turned into a lively market, he couldn't help being stunned for a while, then shook his head and laughed.

The execution platform is a 2-meter-high platform. Soldiers quickly protected it, and Dongchang Jinyi Guards guarded the surroundings. Among them, 30 musketeers were so powerful that it made people's eyes shine.

dong dong dong~~

Drums echoed.

"Silence! Silence~~!"
