Suspect in Jinling
Chapter 69
"Yuan Cigu, the evidence is solid, you still haven't pleaded guilty!"
Under the clear sky and broad daylight, before the interrogation was over, Qu Bao quickly stepped off the stage and faced Cigu from a distance, angrily accusing: "Now five witnesses have testified that their children can't stop after eating your wontons, and then they will eat your wontons again." You will feel unwell, and even have symptoms of vomiting and fever, and several times, you touch the top of the child’s head after eating and ask them: ‘Why are you playing here? Do you not want to go home?’”
That's what the folks said when calling for their children's souls. Some young men and women didn't know it, but the parents surrounded by the audience immediately showed horrified expressions, and suddenly covered their children's eyes!
Zhu Shi's face contorted immediately, and he couldn't speak clearly even if his whole body was his mouth.
The Taoist of Xianfeng Daogu asked on the stage: "Mr. Jun, do the names of those who give evidence have a water character in them, or is it next to the water character?"
Qu Bao: "Exactly!"
The Taoist raised his whisk and bowed upwards: "My lords, this makes sense. Yuan Cigu is the life of plants and trees, and the guests next to the word Shui are more likely to be influenced by her."
This question and answer was so serious that Zi Gu couldn't help but roared at the two of them in a broken voice: "I don't! What would I do with their souls!"
Qu Bao: "To change your mother's life!"
He slammed his whip in the air, suppressing Shigu's hoarse voice in a spirited manner: "You have a mother who is seriously ill. In order for her to live a long life, you tried every means to steal other people's energy, Not only wonton stalls, but your neighbors can also prove that you always ask for old clothes from them. This is also your trick. You want to borrow their longevity to return your mother! You said that you have long since lost contact with the Taiping Sect. It’s just a lie, you learned sorcery at a young age, and by making wontons a disaster for the village, you’ve locked your soul away! I’m going to ask you again on behalf of the adults, but you still refuse to admit it, are you a witch from the Taiping Sect! "
The people below were terrified, staring at the high platform with their eyes wide open, waiting for Zigu's answer——
"...wronged!"
Cigu groaned in pain, even at this moment, she remembered what Zhu Shi had told her repeatedly: "I, no, yes!"
She knows who is saving her!As long as she gets through this test, everything will be fine when she gets out of prison, she can't admit it!
Qu Bao on the opposite side suddenly stopped the attack, calmly took a step back on the high platform, and respectfully said: "Master Lu, this subordinate is incompetent, she refuses to admit it."
The relatives of the prisoners in the audience immediately looked up at the high platform——
"I don't blame you, you have tried your best." Lu Duanxian on the high platform lowered his eyes lightly, and said loudly: "There is evil in this woman's eyes, and it is true that you cannot use worldly methods."
Cigu's heart tightened, and he only heard the senior official of the town government ask the Taoist solemnly: "I wonder if Taoist Songhe has any good methods for exorcising demons and telling the truth?"
The wind was strong, and the clouds in the sky were moving fast.
The Taoist replied: "This witch has been evil for a long time. If you want to make her show her original shape, you need to burn her cheeks with incense, then pour licorice and cinnabar soup, and burn the yellow paper ashes of Zhuyin."
On the second floor of the street facing the execution platform, Mother Jiang stood up abruptly, clutching her handkerchief tightly——
Lu Duanxian nodded in agreement, raised the stake high and threw it with a crisp sound!
"Sentence!"
All the people onlookers were shocked, Zigu opened his mouth in a daze, and the relatives in the front row immediately shouted their grievances hoarsely. People make a sound to stop it!Taoist Songhe lit the yellow paper, the flames were burning, and licked upwards scarlet. The mushrooms were tied to the mast and struggling fiercely, desperately avoiding it!But the flame was like a sharp knife, mercilessly slashing at her body, first hair, then clothes, and finally flesh!
Zhu Shi was stunned and couldn't believe what he saw. Suddenly, Cigu let out a clear cry in the flames. She began to beg for mercy, begging for mercy from the stage and the audience. Zhu Shi let out a wild roar and immediately reacted. Pulling forward ugly, one step at a time and three steps towards the high platform!
How can the guarding soldiers allow him to be presumptuous, holding the handle of the knife and raising his hand is a scabbard!The solid iron cowhide was slammed on the head, and Zhu Shi was defenseless. He was thrown flying and fell into the crowd!There was a smell of out of control in the air, Zhu Shi spit out a mouthful of blood, tears flowed out unconsciously, crying and shouting, and continued to rush forward while shouting, frantically saying: "Fire, fire! What are you looking at! "
Mother Jiang looked at the audience in horror and pity, as if she was leaning against the railing——
Where the flames passed by, there was an indescribable smell of meat, and the shiitake mushrooms struggled and screamed in the fire, which was terrible!
Jiang's father sighed, hardened his heart, held his wife's hand tightly, and told her to calm down——
The man in the audience cried frantically, the cry was shrill, mixed with anger, sadness, heartache and despair, it was hard to tell whether it was screaming, wailing or roaring.Qu Bao stood proudly in front of the stage in a flying fish suit, raised his hand slightly, "This person is interfering with the interrogation, stand up!"
"Do not……"
Just when Zhu Shi was forcibly pulled up, suddenly there was the sound of horseshoes approaching at an extremely fast speed, and the haste was shocking!
Lu Duanxian's heart skipped a beat, he didn't care about the audience for a moment, he got up and went to look at the sound, he saw dozens of fast horses galloping from the northeast of the ancient imperial street, smashing the ground of Jinling City with their hooves.A dark horse cleared the way at the front, followed by Li Xian, the garrison office of Jinling and the governor of the central army in the south, and after Li Xian, young officials from Yingtianfu, Xunyuan, Fuyuan, Xingbu, and Dali Temple were all among them. Competing for horses and bridles, they merged into a dense array of yellow, green, red, and purple colors, as if the entire Jinling officialdom would come on horses with whips, and at the end of them, followed by the cavalry of the Dudufu soldiers with bright uniforms, coming quickly , Straight out of the charge formation.
Lu Duanxian's heart trembled, and cold sweat was pouring out of his nose. He knew that the garrison would be alarmed today, but he didn't expect their reaction to be so fast.
All the people heard the sound of the landslide, and then their hearts sank. They turned their heads in a hurry, and saw that the cavalry had suddenly overstepped, bending the entire square into a half-crescent shape with the advantage of numbers, and directly suppressed it!
"Step aside!"
Suddenly there was a sound of fury from the crowd!
Dressed in black, he brought a bucket of clean water from nowhere and rushed over from the slanting spurs. A gap in the outer circle of the formation panicked, but the people guarding the high steps thought that someone was making trouble, and raised the Xiuchun knife without thinking. , will force people back!
The iron ruler that appeared in the air made a grid from bottom to top, and the swords clashed, and there was a piercing sound of metal and iron clashing immediately!Jin Yiwei was caught off guard, only felt a very domineering and very sinister force spread to his body wave after wave, his right hand trembled, and the Xiuchun knife was out of his hand!The common people shouted in surprise, Taoist priests and Qu Bao forced them back one after another, only to see the long knife being swung up, the blade flashed coldly in the sunlight, Kuang Jian raised his toe, "Duh!"With a sound, the edge of the knife has been thrown to the high platform!
Without any hesitation, Kuang Jian stepped onto the high platform in three steps at a time, and poured a whole bucket of clear water on the tumbling and burning figure!The fire was extinguished immediately, Zigu let out a silent cry, Kuang Jian immediately threw down the bucket, untied the chain, took off his coat, and wrapped up the burned girl!
"Burning people in the execution ground, our country has never heard of such a rampant thing!"
The grey-haired, burly old man came striding furiously, passed through the crowd, and stared fiercely at Lu Duanxian on the high platform, shouting angrily like a lion: "Who allows you to torture and interrogate like this? !"
Huge fear seized Lu Duanxian firmly. The leader was Li Xian, the garrison of Jinling and the governor of the Chinese army. Master Yu spent [-] yuan to marry the noble daughter Fengcheng Hou. Before that, Pang Zhengying was killed by all the officials of Jinling. Trapped in the Pang Mansion, the Cigu case entered the procedure of the three judicial departments, all of which were made by this Lord Li Xian. To the accompanying capital Jinling, this person is no different from the town of Jinling City.
The common people have never seen such a big battle. Behind the majestic and burly Li Xian, a group of young civil servants dismounted one after another and squeezed through the crowd. If you have a quick look, you can see that most of the Jinling official circles are elites. Here it is.
The chiefs of Wucheng Bingmasi and Bingbeidao were not on the execution ground. The soldiers of these two departments stood under the high platform, put on their helmets and armor, and looked at the high platform restlessly. The power structure, what's more, we can even see the current power structure of the Ming Dynasty: one party of eunuchs and one party of civil servants, but this is not Beijing, and it is not a place where powerful eunuchs can cover the sky with one hand. No one knows about this confrontation. Is the east wind overpowering the west wind, or the west wind overpowering the east wind.
Lu Duanxian was already intimidated. Facing Zhencheng Shanyue Li Xian's questioning, he was not Tang Guan, so he got up and ran down the high platform in a panic, his aura was a little timid: "Lord Li, let me justify... The Zhenfu Secretary did not indiscriminately punish him, it was the inspectors from Beijing who found out that this woman was a demon, and in the past ten days, she poured a terrifying drug into the ravioli, so the official used an extraordinary method..."
I don't know if Mr. Lu believes this kind of rhetoric, but the people he said this to are the court elites who have read the sage books for at least ten years: "Ridiculous!"
In an instant, the blood "buzzed" and rushed directly to the heads of several officials of the Sanfa Division!
For these judicial officials, every murder case has to go through several batches of interrogations by countless people, and repeated reviews by several departments that are not under the jurisdiction of each other. How dare the town government department?Skip the investigation and trial directly, and turn the case directly to the strange power and chaos!
Kuang Jian knew that he couldn't be silent at this moment, so he stood up immediately, cupped his fists and testified to Li Xian: "My lord, this woman sells wontons under the big banyan tree on Guyu Street, and my subordinates live at the entrance of Guyu Street, and have eaten her wontons for many years. , I've never heard of Master Lu talking about having sex with demons!"
The righteous words of these officials undoubtedly gave hope to the family members in the audience. Zhu Shixi limped away from the officers and soldiers, stood in a group of relatives of the prisoners, and held his breath to calm down, looking at these people with eyes full of hope!
"Lord Lu, you should know that this Marquis has a king's flag, so you can cut it first and then play it." Li Xian's voice was like a bell, and when he said this, he was unbearable to others, and his eyes were fixed on Lu Duanxian, "What is the reason for today, you understand the answer! "
"Sir..."
Lu Duanxian's heart tingled intermittently. Under the pressure of all eyes, he finally couldn't stand it anymore. He groaned and said with a sob: "...I am an official, I am also following orders!"
"At whose order!"
"At His Majesty's command!"
A sharp sound suddenly exploded from the highest point, and the sudden explosion made everyone tremble suddenly!Everyone looked up immediately, and saw the old inner eunuch in red behind Lu Duanxian standing up slowly. He is already very old, but his frame is tall, his eyes are like eagles, and his majesty is still visible. He was silent before, as if The jurors didn't want to raise the bright yellow pallet in front of them obsessively at this moment, standing supremely under the blue sky, and said in a voice: "Lord Li, the Shangyu is here—"
For a moment, even Jiang Xingzheng, who was standing beside the inner prisoner, was shocked——
There is already a purpose!
The officials on the high platform opened their eyes wide, and the ordinary people did not understand, but the people with slightly higher ranks were already inexplicably horrified!
The sun shines on the water, the weeping willows are calm, and the old eunuch stands at the highest point, unfolding the bright yellow smooth silk with extremely slow movements——
Jinyiwei, Wucheng Bingmasi, and Bingbeidao, no one in Jinling City can make these three go out together.Kuang Jian blinked her eyelashes, and quickly exchanged a glance with the fourth master beside her: They should have thought of it a long time ago, and they can do this, unless Beijing comes to order!No one dares to take it lightly anymore, the edict issued by the internal supervisor is the imperial decree, the highest will of the country, even if the person proclaiming the decree is just a nobody, he still has supreme authority at this moment!
Lord Li Xian also opened his eyes wide in astonishment. After a breath, the old Jinling mountain shook his clothes and knelt down, and responded loudly: "My minister! Let all the ministries of Jinling accept the order!" Immediately afterwards, all the departments behind him responded Tianfu, Xunyuan, Fuyuan, Xingbu, and Dali Temple knelt down one after another. At the same time, there were also the captain of Jinyiwei Hundred Households on the second-floor high platform, and all the generals and divisions in the audience.
The inner eunuch smiled a little, as if he was very satisfied with the obedience of the officials, cleared his throat, and said in a clear voice: "I heard that the Taiping Sect has demons, inciting foolish people, and intending to rebel. Harm to the people's livelihood, the ministries of Jinling do not think about eradicating the monster party, and turn it into nothing. It has been hesitating for a long time, which is really abominable! Today's order to the southeast, the Taiping demon thing has long been unconventional, and it should be killed to release the public Suspected, all the prisoners were sent to the city for Cao Zhengfa, and their heads were hung to show the public..."
There was silence.
The tone of the reading of the imperial decree should be very slow and low, but this person read it sharply and coldly, pouring into the ears of officials, spreading in the empty and crowded execution ground, and finally scattered into the void.
Most of the common people probably don't understand these words, they just stare at the reactions of those senior officials, Zi Gu raised his head from the ground with difficulty, staring at the imperial decree in a daze.Her hair has been burned clean, and her skin is either shrunken and wrinkled by the burn, or burst open to reveal bright red muscles. She is dying to breathe out, moving her stiff spine with the smallest range, and looking up—— —
She couldn't understand, and the voice was also near and far away. She could only feel that in the burning pain all over her body, a pair of big hands were holding her arms through the fabric. The more the eunuch read, the more trembling that hand was. Awesome, you can feel the frightening sadness without looking at his face.
And Jiang Xingzheng on the high platform bowed his knees, the sweat on his forehead was oozing layer by layer...
His mind was in a state of confusion, and he suddenly remembered Li Mengliang's vows a few days ago. Just when the Shigu case had come to an end, the man said directly, "There will be a turning point." His eyes were as clear and sharp as a deep pool, He said with a final word: "Wait five days, and the turnaround is on the way."
... This is not the emperor's will.
Kuang Jian rested his left hand on his left knee, and held the shiitake mushroom in his right hand, his huge palm trembled uncontrollably!This is definitely not the intention of the cabinet, otherwise Master Li Xian would not have heard the news that the little emperor has not long been in power, such absurd orders can only come from the "Mr. Wang" eunuch Wang Zhenda beside him!It's been nine years... Kuang Jian's breathing became heavy. Nine years ago, that person had persecuted the people and ordered the officials. Now he has attracted the attention of the capital city Jinling, coordinating internally and externally to concoct such absurd orders!
The sky was bright and clear, the sky was blue and the clouds were white. The old eunuch had a white face and no beard. He stood on the high platform like a god or Buddha who wanted someone to pay respects. He said in a low voice, "Marquis of Fengcheng, can you hear me clearly?"
In the scorching hot weather, Baiguan's heart suddenly felt cold for no reason.
The inner supervisor held a volume of imperial decree on top of Mount Tai, and softly uttered two words: "Execution."
The executioner stood up, and more than [-] "prisoners" were pressed onto the stage, and the strongest one walked straight to Kuang Jian, wanting to take the person behind him!Kuang Jian suddenly became confused. He knew that it was not the emperor's intention, but since it had become an imperial decree, it could only be the emperor's intention!As for the affairs of the imperial court, the laws of heaven and justice prevail, so naturally they should be dealt with rightly, but as long as the palace intervenes in everything, they can't help them how to do it in the end!
Kuang Jian stretched out his hand to stop him, and wanted to make the last effort. All the colleagues around him looked at him together, and anxiously looked at Mr. Li Xian together——
However, Beijing Ming issued an edict that the Jinling Mountains could not openly resist for a long-term plan. Li Xian drew a strong and sharp line from the corner of his mouth, his face was ashen, and his chin slightly tilted to the side——
Kuang Jian understood immediately!Turning around and looking at the people in the audience——
but--
"Kill her!"
Suddenly, a child jumped up in the crowd and roared loudly at Zigu in the crowd!
At that moment, Kuang Jian, Fourth Master, Geng Yichun, Li Xian, Zhu Shi, and the relatives of the prisoner... only felt someone hit them hard in the air on the back of the neck, and the pain was so painful!
What's even more frightening is that after the child yelled, the same voice came out wave after wave, shouting one after another: "Tong Yao, kill her! Kill them! Kill her—!"
Kuang Jian looked at it blankly, Fourth Master looked at it blankly, Geng Yichun looked at it blankly... Countless young talents in the Gongmen turned around with sad expressions, they looked at the people below in a daze, their faces full of embarrassment. Believe it!
Justice is a fire in the dark, and it is a small step forward by countless elites with all their strength, but it only takes a turn around to punish their hearts and conspiracies.
So far, nothing has changed.Li Xian slammed his head down heavily, took the order, and then stood up majestically, his gloomy face seemed to be covered with a mask of calm, he looked at Kuang Jian, and commanded in a deep voice: "Wu Yuan, let go!"
I have eaten ravioli with shiitake mushrooms for many years, and I never knew her name before...
The executioner strode forward, grabbed the mushroom and dragged it to the execution place——
The people below shouted and cursed excitedly, one sound was like one sound——
If you must ask my selfishness...
The little girl who had been burned into a ball of black flesh was dragged roughly. She couldn't stand up, and could only recognize the part of her chest that was violently heaving and falling like a leaky bellows. The little charcoal black There are black scabs all over the body, and the scratching noises on the ground are terrifying... Then my selfishness is to let all the people in Jinling City who are like Zizhu live in peace...
Kuang Jian was not reconciled, and still wanted to reach out, but Zigu gently pushed him, and said hoarsely in that out of tune voice: "...I'm sorry."
For some reason, the world suddenly became flustered.
I'm sorry for failing to live up to your intentions.
Sha Xiangyue stood blankly in the crowd, being bumped by crowds from front, back, left, and right——
I'm sorry, it's still the same ending after going around.
The people can't understand the imperial decree, but they understand what is going on with the demon!They shouted excitedly, waiting for the government to announce the official punishment, Zhu Shi was surrounded by the crowd in a panic, showing a blank expression of grief——
The scorching sun bursts into circles of light, which makes people's eyes dazzled,
The burly man pressed the girl's shoulders and pressed her stiff neck into the depression on the torture pillow. The lame old woman came staggeringly, crying and inarticulately pushing the crowd in front of her: " Aci, Aci..." For some unexplainable reason, in the execution ground with hundreds of thousands of people, the girl instinctively raised her head in that direction vigorously, and then closed her eyes wearily, bitterly.
With the hand raised and the knife dropped, the crowd suddenly burst into applause!
The strong smell of blood soared into the sky, one head fell to the ground, and then another, and then the next one, and another... The people in front of the stage screamed horribly, and the relatives of the "prisoners" screamed. The ground went up against the current, and the hot and humid smell sprayed them all over. They roared and waved their arms, not knowing whether they wanted to stop or appeal. Zhu Shida knelt on the ground like a fool. Crawling forward as if without feeling, until he fell on the ground and found the scorched head, suddenly hugged it and let out a burst of mournful laughter!
The laughter was shrill, filled with hatred like a piercing heart, like the voice of a demon from hell.
On the highest platform, Master Ren looked at the chaotic execution ground with a merciful face. He touched his heart with one hand and recited a soothing scripture in a low voice——
"Crack-crack! Crack-bang!"
In Tayuan Lane in the city, the sound of broken pots and pans can be heard endlessly——
The outer and inner doors were all pushed open, and all the flour bags, meat, vegetables, clothes, and sundries in the house were turned out and thrown all over the floor. Everyone in the neighborhood crowded in. A few bold and strong men Straight into Zigu's house, observing everything in the house suspiciously, whenever you see something unusual, immediately yell and break it, or throw it outside savagely!
The things in the yard were already piled up, and a lot of chicken blood and cinnabar were splashed. The lame old woman was dragged around by the shoulders, and asked her to identify the demon weapons one by one!
"That's Az's thing..." The old woman begged for forgiveness at a loss, grabbing a man's clothes and pleading, "You can't do this, you can't smash this..."
But no one listened to her, a pair of sisters-in-law excitedly commanded the crowd, the apron of Zizhu, the pots and pans of Zizhu, the stove of Zizhu, the clothes and bedding of Zizhu, the wonton stall of Zizhu, the neighbors share the same hatred Walking around in their house, holding an ax and a hammer in hand, they aimed at the chaotic stall, and three or five people raised their arms and axes together, smashing all the chopping boards, pans, and tables one by two, three by four!
"What is that! I haven't seen that one yet, burn it! Burn it!"
Sensational screams and vandalism rang out alternately, and someone backed away Mother Yuan in outrage: "Don't get in the way, it's hers to throw!" Someone cheered through gritted teeth: "This witch has lived with us for so long. My lord, retribution is not good!" Soon strangers also poured in from outside, pulling their own children, and grabbed Yuan's mother: "My children have eaten your daughter's food, tell me quickly, how to crack, how to crack! You have to keep him safe and peaceful, you have lived for so long, what kind of childish spirit do you need! How shameless you are!"
"No! My daughter doesn't have any!" Yuan's mother had bad legs, trembling with anger, and hysterical: "How many times does my wife have to say, my daughter is not a demon! You are not conscience! My daughter has never handled these things! She didn't!"
But no one listened to her justification, they all said in one go: "I didn't hear what the government said, they are habitual offenders! They have been hiding for many years!" "She has our son's life on her body!" "Hit her! Kill her!" "If we don't let us live, you don't want to live either!" Countless people yelled and rushed towards Mother Yuan. The first person reached out and hit the old woman on the head, and the second followed immediately. To, head, face, arms, chest, stomach, the old Mother Yuan cried and broke free from the crowd and tried to run to the door, but she fell on a slope and fell down after a few steps. Several strong men shouted. With a yell, he chased after him and arrested him: "How dare you run!" Immediately, he grabbed Yuan's mother by the collar, and hit her on the head with a wave of his hand!Press it on the ground and beat it!
At the same time, not only in the city.
In the east and west of the city, the homes, shops, and goods corridors of all the criminals who were beheaded that day were all broken into. People used sticks, axes, and machetes to frantically beat, smash, loot, and burn their wives. They grabbed their hair and dragged them on the ground until they reached the street corner. Their parents were beaten in the face and insulted with words. They went to the town office to collect the corpses. Countless people followed them to snatch the corpses and had a dispute on the street. , blood was dripping all over the street, these people shared the same hatred, filled with righteous indignation, stepped on it and cursed: "Monster! Damn it! Taiping Sect! Damn it!"
"Burn them!"
The big-headed man raised his arms and shouted: "Don't let them go into the ground, burn them!"
The garrison yamen is on duty, and the eyes here are full of bright red and purple colors. In a comfortable silence, the eunuch lighted the cigarette stick leisurely, and the green smoke of the burning tobacco curled up from the pipe. Immediately afterwards, he was quite at ease. took a deep puff, and then slowly exhaled a puff of green smoke——
All the officials of Jinling are here, and quite a few of them who just made a scene in the execution ground gathered here, standing there.
"Taiping Sect has believers all over the place, but the imperial court has received accurate information that the core members of their sect have gathered in Jinling."
Slowly, Eunuch Tang Guan opened his mouth.
The old inner eunuch who delivered the decree has returned to Beijing and conveyed the imperial decree to Tang Guan, the eunuch guarding Jinling.The Jinling garrison and the Jinling garrison eunuch are evenly matched in terms of rank, that is, Tang Guan and Li Xian have the same rank. However, in the past, Tang Guan did not care about government affairs, and his whole person became low-key. Today, there is a contest in the execution ground. He no longer needed to be reserved, so he dragged his voice and said Yuru:
"Jinling is the companion capital of the country. If the Taiping believers occupy this place, the two capitals and thirteen provinces will be half of the world. My lords, you can't be kind and miss a big deal. These people will speak evil tricks , to incite the people, but what they want is not limited to this, but to rebel and overthrow the imperial court! The yamen in Jinling had already received a search order last month, and until now, if they are not pursued at this time, when will they be pursued? ?!"
As he said that, his soft eyes turned sharply on everyone, and he said murderously: "Ying Tian Fu Yin, Master Li!"
Li Min looked up.
Tang Guan had already prepared to throw out a roll of official documents: "I have a report from a servant in your yamen - it is a case of a farmer surnamed Jin. It is said that this farmer was suspected of being a gangster and brought to the county yamen. But your subordinate Zuo Yang covered up the traitor, ignored the red lotus tattoo several times, released him several times, and the last time was to let him escape, he scratched his tattoo with a knife in the courtroom!——So Forgiveness! The imperial court’s repeated orders are deafening! A farmer, why didn’t he punish the others?! A subject who deliberately resisted, why did he tolerate it like this?!”
Suddenly, he raised his head and stared straight at Fourth Master, "Zuo Yang is also here, you explain to the adults yourself!"
What else is there to explain? The sacred decree is to be "severe and severe", and there is no room for parrying in the following things.Immediately afterwards, Tang Guan ordered that all the mild judgments related to the Taiping Sect be overturned. The Jin farmer beheaded, Zuo Yang was dismissed, and all officials who had treated the Taiping Sect lightly were dealt with severely, and the cases judged were re-examined .
Kuang Jian didn't look up, just smiled silently, listening to the guards stepping forward to strip off Fourth Master's official uniform, and then take it away——
No one in the entire room dared to take a breath, only the sound of needles falling.
"Since Beijing has an order, it is natural to obey it. Let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Li, Li Mengliang, who came to Beijing to supervise the case of suppressing the Taiping Sect."
Tang Guan spoke solemnly, Kuang Jian raised his head, looked over several shoulders and suddenly saw the person sitting beside Tang Guan——
What did Lu Duanxian say in the execution ground?Kuang Jian frowned lightly: The inspectors from Beijing found out that this woman was a demon, and she had been drugged into wontons for ten days, so she used an extraordinary method... Kuang Jian looked at the penis An extraordinary man, he is very sure that he never saw this person on the execution platform just now, since it was his idea, why didn't he show up just now?Instead, let Lu Duanxian, that trash, deal with it?
"The local government offices are still picking up their own, but they must also obey the unified dispatch of the imperial court. Rural fairs are easy to hide traitors, and temples, Taoist temples, nunnery and other places must be combed all over... Those who participate in the conspiracy, regardless of master or slave, will be beheaded ..." Tang Guan followed the instructions, and after setting out the tasks, he asked again: "Do you have any questions?"
Silent.
Tang Guan sneered and knocked on the cigarette rod, and said arrogantly to the officials: "Then go to work!"
Under the clear sky and broad daylight, before the interrogation was over, Qu Bao quickly stepped off the stage and faced Cigu from a distance, angrily accusing: "Now five witnesses have testified that their children can't stop after eating your wontons, and then they will eat your wontons again." You will feel unwell, and even have symptoms of vomiting and fever, and several times, you touch the top of the child’s head after eating and ask them: ‘Why are you playing here? Do you not want to go home?’”
That's what the folks said when calling for their children's souls. Some young men and women didn't know it, but the parents surrounded by the audience immediately showed horrified expressions, and suddenly covered their children's eyes!
Zhu Shi's face contorted immediately, and he couldn't speak clearly even if his whole body was his mouth.
The Taoist of Xianfeng Daogu asked on the stage: "Mr. Jun, do the names of those who give evidence have a water character in them, or is it next to the water character?"
Qu Bao: "Exactly!"
The Taoist raised his whisk and bowed upwards: "My lords, this makes sense. Yuan Cigu is the life of plants and trees, and the guests next to the word Shui are more likely to be influenced by her."
This question and answer was so serious that Zi Gu couldn't help but roared at the two of them in a broken voice: "I don't! What would I do with their souls!"
Qu Bao: "To change your mother's life!"
He slammed his whip in the air, suppressing Shigu's hoarse voice in a spirited manner: "You have a mother who is seriously ill. In order for her to live a long life, you tried every means to steal other people's energy, Not only wonton stalls, but your neighbors can also prove that you always ask for old clothes from them. This is also your trick. You want to borrow their longevity to return your mother! You said that you have long since lost contact with the Taiping Sect. It’s just a lie, you learned sorcery at a young age, and by making wontons a disaster for the village, you’ve locked your soul away! I’m going to ask you again on behalf of the adults, but you still refuse to admit it, are you a witch from the Taiping Sect! "
The people below were terrified, staring at the high platform with their eyes wide open, waiting for Zigu's answer——
"...wronged!"
Cigu groaned in pain, even at this moment, she remembered what Zhu Shi had told her repeatedly: "I, no, yes!"
She knows who is saving her!As long as she gets through this test, everything will be fine when she gets out of prison, she can't admit it!
Qu Bao on the opposite side suddenly stopped the attack, calmly took a step back on the high platform, and respectfully said: "Master Lu, this subordinate is incompetent, she refuses to admit it."
The relatives of the prisoners in the audience immediately looked up at the high platform——
"I don't blame you, you have tried your best." Lu Duanxian on the high platform lowered his eyes lightly, and said loudly: "There is evil in this woman's eyes, and it is true that you cannot use worldly methods."
Cigu's heart tightened, and he only heard the senior official of the town government ask the Taoist solemnly: "I wonder if Taoist Songhe has any good methods for exorcising demons and telling the truth?"
The wind was strong, and the clouds in the sky were moving fast.
The Taoist replied: "This witch has been evil for a long time. If you want to make her show her original shape, you need to burn her cheeks with incense, then pour licorice and cinnabar soup, and burn the yellow paper ashes of Zhuyin."
On the second floor of the street facing the execution platform, Mother Jiang stood up abruptly, clutching her handkerchief tightly——
Lu Duanxian nodded in agreement, raised the stake high and threw it with a crisp sound!
"Sentence!"
All the people onlookers were shocked, Zigu opened his mouth in a daze, and the relatives in the front row immediately shouted their grievances hoarsely. People make a sound to stop it!Taoist Songhe lit the yellow paper, the flames were burning, and licked upwards scarlet. The mushrooms were tied to the mast and struggling fiercely, desperately avoiding it!But the flame was like a sharp knife, mercilessly slashing at her body, first hair, then clothes, and finally flesh!
Zhu Shi was stunned and couldn't believe what he saw. Suddenly, Cigu let out a clear cry in the flames. She began to beg for mercy, begging for mercy from the stage and the audience. Zhu Shi let out a wild roar and immediately reacted. Pulling forward ugly, one step at a time and three steps towards the high platform!
How can the guarding soldiers allow him to be presumptuous, holding the handle of the knife and raising his hand is a scabbard!The solid iron cowhide was slammed on the head, and Zhu Shi was defenseless. He was thrown flying and fell into the crowd!There was a smell of out of control in the air, Zhu Shi spit out a mouthful of blood, tears flowed out unconsciously, crying and shouting, and continued to rush forward while shouting, frantically saying: "Fire, fire! What are you looking at! "
Mother Jiang looked at the audience in horror and pity, as if she was leaning against the railing——
Where the flames passed by, there was an indescribable smell of meat, and the shiitake mushrooms struggled and screamed in the fire, which was terrible!
Jiang's father sighed, hardened his heart, held his wife's hand tightly, and told her to calm down——
The man in the audience cried frantically, the cry was shrill, mixed with anger, sadness, heartache and despair, it was hard to tell whether it was screaming, wailing or roaring.Qu Bao stood proudly in front of the stage in a flying fish suit, raised his hand slightly, "This person is interfering with the interrogation, stand up!"
"Do not……"
Just when Zhu Shi was forcibly pulled up, suddenly there was the sound of horseshoes approaching at an extremely fast speed, and the haste was shocking!
Lu Duanxian's heart skipped a beat, he didn't care about the audience for a moment, he got up and went to look at the sound, he saw dozens of fast horses galloping from the northeast of the ancient imperial street, smashing the ground of Jinling City with their hooves.A dark horse cleared the way at the front, followed by Li Xian, the garrison office of Jinling and the governor of the central army in the south, and after Li Xian, young officials from Yingtianfu, Xunyuan, Fuyuan, Xingbu, and Dali Temple were all among them. Competing for horses and bridles, they merged into a dense array of yellow, green, red, and purple colors, as if the entire Jinling officialdom would come on horses with whips, and at the end of them, followed by the cavalry of the Dudufu soldiers with bright uniforms, coming quickly , Straight out of the charge formation.
Lu Duanxian's heart trembled, and cold sweat was pouring out of his nose. He knew that the garrison would be alarmed today, but he didn't expect their reaction to be so fast.
All the people heard the sound of the landslide, and then their hearts sank. They turned their heads in a hurry, and saw that the cavalry had suddenly overstepped, bending the entire square into a half-crescent shape with the advantage of numbers, and directly suppressed it!
"Step aside!"
Suddenly there was a sound of fury from the crowd!
Dressed in black, he brought a bucket of clean water from nowhere and rushed over from the slanting spurs. A gap in the outer circle of the formation panicked, but the people guarding the high steps thought that someone was making trouble, and raised the Xiuchun knife without thinking. , will force people back!
The iron ruler that appeared in the air made a grid from bottom to top, and the swords clashed, and there was a piercing sound of metal and iron clashing immediately!Jin Yiwei was caught off guard, only felt a very domineering and very sinister force spread to his body wave after wave, his right hand trembled, and the Xiuchun knife was out of his hand!The common people shouted in surprise, Taoist priests and Qu Bao forced them back one after another, only to see the long knife being swung up, the blade flashed coldly in the sunlight, Kuang Jian raised his toe, "Duh!"With a sound, the edge of the knife has been thrown to the high platform!
Without any hesitation, Kuang Jian stepped onto the high platform in three steps at a time, and poured a whole bucket of clear water on the tumbling and burning figure!The fire was extinguished immediately, Zigu let out a silent cry, Kuang Jian immediately threw down the bucket, untied the chain, took off his coat, and wrapped up the burned girl!
"Burning people in the execution ground, our country has never heard of such a rampant thing!"
The grey-haired, burly old man came striding furiously, passed through the crowd, and stared fiercely at Lu Duanxian on the high platform, shouting angrily like a lion: "Who allows you to torture and interrogate like this? !"
Huge fear seized Lu Duanxian firmly. The leader was Li Xian, the garrison of Jinling and the governor of the Chinese army. Master Yu spent [-] yuan to marry the noble daughter Fengcheng Hou. Before that, Pang Zhengying was killed by all the officials of Jinling. Trapped in the Pang Mansion, the Cigu case entered the procedure of the three judicial departments, all of which were made by this Lord Li Xian. To the accompanying capital Jinling, this person is no different from the town of Jinling City.
The common people have never seen such a big battle. Behind the majestic and burly Li Xian, a group of young civil servants dismounted one after another and squeezed through the crowd. If you have a quick look, you can see that most of the Jinling official circles are elites. Here it is.
The chiefs of Wucheng Bingmasi and Bingbeidao were not on the execution ground. The soldiers of these two departments stood under the high platform, put on their helmets and armor, and looked at the high platform restlessly. The power structure, what's more, we can even see the current power structure of the Ming Dynasty: one party of eunuchs and one party of civil servants, but this is not Beijing, and it is not a place where powerful eunuchs can cover the sky with one hand. No one knows about this confrontation. Is the east wind overpowering the west wind, or the west wind overpowering the east wind.
Lu Duanxian was already intimidated. Facing Zhencheng Shanyue Li Xian's questioning, he was not Tang Guan, so he got up and ran down the high platform in a panic, his aura was a little timid: "Lord Li, let me justify... The Zhenfu Secretary did not indiscriminately punish him, it was the inspectors from Beijing who found out that this woman was a demon, and in the past ten days, she poured a terrifying drug into the ravioli, so the official used an extraordinary method..."
I don't know if Mr. Lu believes this kind of rhetoric, but the people he said this to are the court elites who have read the sage books for at least ten years: "Ridiculous!"
In an instant, the blood "buzzed" and rushed directly to the heads of several officials of the Sanfa Division!
For these judicial officials, every murder case has to go through several batches of interrogations by countless people, and repeated reviews by several departments that are not under the jurisdiction of each other. How dare the town government department?Skip the investigation and trial directly, and turn the case directly to the strange power and chaos!
Kuang Jian knew that he couldn't be silent at this moment, so he stood up immediately, cupped his fists and testified to Li Xian: "My lord, this woman sells wontons under the big banyan tree on Guyu Street, and my subordinates live at the entrance of Guyu Street, and have eaten her wontons for many years. , I've never heard of Master Lu talking about having sex with demons!"
The righteous words of these officials undoubtedly gave hope to the family members in the audience. Zhu Shixi limped away from the officers and soldiers, stood in a group of relatives of the prisoners, and held his breath to calm down, looking at these people with eyes full of hope!
"Lord Lu, you should know that this Marquis has a king's flag, so you can cut it first and then play it." Li Xian's voice was like a bell, and when he said this, he was unbearable to others, and his eyes were fixed on Lu Duanxian, "What is the reason for today, you understand the answer! "
"Sir..."
Lu Duanxian's heart tingled intermittently. Under the pressure of all eyes, he finally couldn't stand it anymore. He groaned and said with a sob: "...I am an official, I am also following orders!"
"At whose order!"
"At His Majesty's command!"
A sharp sound suddenly exploded from the highest point, and the sudden explosion made everyone tremble suddenly!Everyone looked up immediately, and saw the old inner eunuch in red behind Lu Duanxian standing up slowly. He is already very old, but his frame is tall, his eyes are like eagles, and his majesty is still visible. He was silent before, as if The jurors didn't want to raise the bright yellow pallet in front of them obsessively at this moment, standing supremely under the blue sky, and said in a voice: "Lord Li, the Shangyu is here—"
For a moment, even Jiang Xingzheng, who was standing beside the inner prisoner, was shocked——
There is already a purpose!
The officials on the high platform opened their eyes wide, and the ordinary people did not understand, but the people with slightly higher ranks were already inexplicably horrified!
The sun shines on the water, the weeping willows are calm, and the old eunuch stands at the highest point, unfolding the bright yellow smooth silk with extremely slow movements——
Jinyiwei, Wucheng Bingmasi, and Bingbeidao, no one in Jinling City can make these three go out together.Kuang Jian blinked her eyelashes, and quickly exchanged a glance with the fourth master beside her: They should have thought of it a long time ago, and they can do this, unless Beijing comes to order!No one dares to take it lightly anymore, the edict issued by the internal supervisor is the imperial decree, the highest will of the country, even if the person proclaiming the decree is just a nobody, he still has supreme authority at this moment!
Lord Li Xian also opened his eyes wide in astonishment. After a breath, the old Jinling mountain shook his clothes and knelt down, and responded loudly: "My minister! Let all the ministries of Jinling accept the order!" Immediately afterwards, all the departments behind him responded Tianfu, Xunyuan, Fuyuan, Xingbu, and Dali Temple knelt down one after another. At the same time, there were also the captain of Jinyiwei Hundred Households on the second-floor high platform, and all the generals and divisions in the audience.
The inner eunuch smiled a little, as if he was very satisfied with the obedience of the officials, cleared his throat, and said in a clear voice: "I heard that the Taiping Sect has demons, inciting foolish people, and intending to rebel. Harm to the people's livelihood, the ministries of Jinling do not think about eradicating the monster party, and turn it into nothing. It has been hesitating for a long time, which is really abominable! Today's order to the southeast, the Taiping demon thing has long been unconventional, and it should be killed to release the public Suspected, all the prisoners were sent to the city for Cao Zhengfa, and their heads were hung to show the public..."
There was silence.
The tone of the reading of the imperial decree should be very slow and low, but this person read it sharply and coldly, pouring into the ears of officials, spreading in the empty and crowded execution ground, and finally scattered into the void.
Most of the common people probably don't understand these words, they just stare at the reactions of those senior officials, Zi Gu raised his head from the ground with difficulty, staring at the imperial decree in a daze.Her hair has been burned clean, and her skin is either shrunken and wrinkled by the burn, or burst open to reveal bright red muscles. She is dying to breathe out, moving her stiff spine with the smallest range, and looking up—— —
She couldn't understand, and the voice was also near and far away. She could only feel that in the burning pain all over her body, a pair of big hands were holding her arms through the fabric. The more the eunuch read, the more trembling that hand was. Awesome, you can feel the frightening sadness without looking at his face.
And Jiang Xingzheng on the high platform bowed his knees, the sweat on his forehead was oozing layer by layer...
His mind was in a state of confusion, and he suddenly remembered Li Mengliang's vows a few days ago. Just when the Shigu case had come to an end, the man said directly, "There will be a turning point." His eyes were as clear and sharp as a deep pool, He said with a final word: "Wait five days, and the turnaround is on the way."
... This is not the emperor's will.
Kuang Jian rested his left hand on his left knee, and held the shiitake mushroom in his right hand, his huge palm trembled uncontrollably!This is definitely not the intention of the cabinet, otherwise Master Li Xian would not have heard the news that the little emperor has not long been in power, such absurd orders can only come from the "Mr. Wang" eunuch Wang Zhenda beside him!It's been nine years... Kuang Jian's breathing became heavy. Nine years ago, that person had persecuted the people and ordered the officials. Now he has attracted the attention of the capital city Jinling, coordinating internally and externally to concoct such absurd orders!
The sky was bright and clear, the sky was blue and the clouds were white. The old eunuch had a white face and no beard. He stood on the high platform like a god or Buddha who wanted someone to pay respects. He said in a low voice, "Marquis of Fengcheng, can you hear me clearly?"
In the scorching hot weather, Baiguan's heart suddenly felt cold for no reason.
The inner supervisor held a volume of imperial decree on top of Mount Tai, and softly uttered two words: "Execution."
The executioner stood up, and more than [-] "prisoners" were pressed onto the stage, and the strongest one walked straight to Kuang Jian, wanting to take the person behind him!Kuang Jian suddenly became confused. He knew that it was not the emperor's intention, but since it had become an imperial decree, it could only be the emperor's intention!As for the affairs of the imperial court, the laws of heaven and justice prevail, so naturally they should be dealt with rightly, but as long as the palace intervenes in everything, they can't help them how to do it in the end!
Kuang Jian stretched out his hand to stop him, and wanted to make the last effort. All the colleagues around him looked at him together, and anxiously looked at Mr. Li Xian together——
However, Beijing Ming issued an edict that the Jinling Mountains could not openly resist for a long-term plan. Li Xian drew a strong and sharp line from the corner of his mouth, his face was ashen, and his chin slightly tilted to the side——
Kuang Jian understood immediately!Turning around and looking at the people in the audience——
but--
"Kill her!"
Suddenly, a child jumped up in the crowd and roared loudly at Zigu in the crowd!
At that moment, Kuang Jian, Fourth Master, Geng Yichun, Li Xian, Zhu Shi, and the relatives of the prisoner... only felt someone hit them hard in the air on the back of the neck, and the pain was so painful!
What's even more frightening is that after the child yelled, the same voice came out wave after wave, shouting one after another: "Tong Yao, kill her! Kill them! Kill her—!"
Kuang Jian looked at it blankly, Fourth Master looked at it blankly, Geng Yichun looked at it blankly... Countless young talents in the Gongmen turned around with sad expressions, they looked at the people below in a daze, their faces full of embarrassment. Believe it!
Justice is a fire in the dark, and it is a small step forward by countless elites with all their strength, but it only takes a turn around to punish their hearts and conspiracies.
So far, nothing has changed.Li Xian slammed his head down heavily, took the order, and then stood up majestically, his gloomy face seemed to be covered with a mask of calm, he looked at Kuang Jian, and commanded in a deep voice: "Wu Yuan, let go!"
I have eaten ravioli with shiitake mushrooms for many years, and I never knew her name before...
The executioner strode forward, grabbed the mushroom and dragged it to the execution place——
The people below shouted and cursed excitedly, one sound was like one sound——
If you must ask my selfishness...
The little girl who had been burned into a ball of black flesh was dragged roughly. She couldn't stand up, and could only recognize the part of her chest that was violently heaving and falling like a leaky bellows. The little charcoal black There are black scabs all over the body, and the scratching noises on the ground are terrifying... Then my selfishness is to let all the people in Jinling City who are like Zizhu live in peace...
Kuang Jian was not reconciled, and still wanted to reach out, but Zigu gently pushed him, and said hoarsely in that out of tune voice: "...I'm sorry."
For some reason, the world suddenly became flustered.
I'm sorry for failing to live up to your intentions.
Sha Xiangyue stood blankly in the crowd, being bumped by crowds from front, back, left, and right——
I'm sorry, it's still the same ending after going around.
The people can't understand the imperial decree, but they understand what is going on with the demon!They shouted excitedly, waiting for the government to announce the official punishment, Zhu Shi was surrounded by the crowd in a panic, showing a blank expression of grief——
The scorching sun bursts into circles of light, which makes people's eyes dazzled,
The burly man pressed the girl's shoulders and pressed her stiff neck into the depression on the torture pillow. The lame old woman came staggeringly, crying and inarticulately pushing the crowd in front of her: " Aci, Aci..." For some unexplainable reason, in the execution ground with hundreds of thousands of people, the girl instinctively raised her head in that direction vigorously, and then closed her eyes wearily, bitterly.
With the hand raised and the knife dropped, the crowd suddenly burst into applause!
The strong smell of blood soared into the sky, one head fell to the ground, and then another, and then the next one, and another... The people in front of the stage screamed horribly, and the relatives of the "prisoners" screamed. The ground went up against the current, and the hot and humid smell sprayed them all over. They roared and waved their arms, not knowing whether they wanted to stop or appeal. Zhu Shida knelt on the ground like a fool. Crawling forward as if without feeling, until he fell on the ground and found the scorched head, suddenly hugged it and let out a burst of mournful laughter!
The laughter was shrill, filled with hatred like a piercing heart, like the voice of a demon from hell.
On the highest platform, Master Ren looked at the chaotic execution ground with a merciful face. He touched his heart with one hand and recited a soothing scripture in a low voice——
"Crack-crack! Crack-bang!"
In Tayuan Lane in the city, the sound of broken pots and pans can be heard endlessly——
The outer and inner doors were all pushed open, and all the flour bags, meat, vegetables, clothes, and sundries in the house were turned out and thrown all over the floor. Everyone in the neighborhood crowded in. A few bold and strong men Straight into Zigu's house, observing everything in the house suspiciously, whenever you see something unusual, immediately yell and break it, or throw it outside savagely!
The things in the yard were already piled up, and a lot of chicken blood and cinnabar were splashed. The lame old woman was dragged around by the shoulders, and asked her to identify the demon weapons one by one!
"That's Az's thing..." The old woman begged for forgiveness at a loss, grabbing a man's clothes and pleading, "You can't do this, you can't smash this..."
But no one listened to her, a pair of sisters-in-law excitedly commanded the crowd, the apron of Zizhu, the pots and pans of Zizhu, the stove of Zizhu, the clothes and bedding of Zizhu, the wonton stall of Zizhu, the neighbors share the same hatred Walking around in their house, holding an ax and a hammer in hand, they aimed at the chaotic stall, and three or five people raised their arms and axes together, smashing all the chopping boards, pans, and tables one by two, three by four!
"What is that! I haven't seen that one yet, burn it! Burn it!"
Sensational screams and vandalism rang out alternately, and someone backed away Mother Yuan in outrage: "Don't get in the way, it's hers to throw!" Someone cheered through gritted teeth: "This witch has lived with us for so long. My lord, retribution is not good!" Soon strangers also poured in from outside, pulling their own children, and grabbed Yuan's mother: "My children have eaten your daughter's food, tell me quickly, how to crack, how to crack! You have to keep him safe and peaceful, you have lived for so long, what kind of childish spirit do you need! How shameless you are!"
"No! My daughter doesn't have any!" Yuan's mother had bad legs, trembling with anger, and hysterical: "How many times does my wife have to say, my daughter is not a demon! You are not conscience! My daughter has never handled these things! She didn't!"
But no one listened to her justification, they all said in one go: "I didn't hear what the government said, they are habitual offenders! They have been hiding for many years!" "She has our son's life on her body!" "Hit her! Kill her!" "If we don't let us live, you don't want to live either!" Countless people yelled and rushed towards Mother Yuan. The first person reached out and hit the old woman on the head, and the second followed immediately. To, head, face, arms, chest, stomach, the old Mother Yuan cried and broke free from the crowd and tried to run to the door, but she fell on a slope and fell down after a few steps. Several strong men shouted. With a yell, he chased after him and arrested him: "How dare you run!" Immediately, he grabbed Yuan's mother by the collar, and hit her on the head with a wave of his hand!Press it on the ground and beat it!
At the same time, not only in the city.
In the east and west of the city, the homes, shops, and goods corridors of all the criminals who were beheaded that day were all broken into. People used sticks, axes, and machetes to frantically beat, smash, loot, and burn their wives. They grabbed their hair and dragged them on the ground until they reached the street corner. Their parents were beaten in the face and insulted with words. They went to the town office to collect the corpses. Countless people followed them to snatch the corpses and had a dispute on the street. , blood was dripping all over the street, these people shared the same hatred, filled with righteous indignation, stepped on it and cursed: "Monster! Damn it! Taiping Sect! Damn it!"
"Burn them!"
The big-headed man raised his arms and shouted: "Don't let them go into the ground, burn them!"
The garrison yamen is on duty, and the eyes here are full of bright red and purple colors. In a comfortable silence, the eunuch lighted the cigarette stick leisurely, and the green smoke of the burning tobacco curled up from the pipe. Immediately afterwards, he was quite at ease. took a deep puff, and then slowly exhaled a puff of green smoke——
All the officials of Jinling are here, and quite a few of them who just made a scene in the execution ground gathered here, standing there.
"Taiping Sect has believers all over the place, but the imperial court has received accurate information that the core members of their sect have gathered in Jinling."
Slowly, Eunuch Tang Guan opened his mouth.
The old inner eunuch who delivered the decree has returned to Beijing and conveyed the imperial decree to Tang Guan, the eunuch guarding Jinling.The Jinling garrison and the Jinling garrison eunuch are evenly matched in terms of rank, that is, Tang Guan and Li Xian have the same rank. However, in the past, Tang Guan did not care about government affairs, and his whole person became low-key. Today, there is a contest in the execution ground. He no longer needed to be reserved, so he dragged his voice and said Yuru:
"Jinling is the companion capital of the country. If the Taiping believers occupy this place, the two capitals and thirteen provinces will be half of the world. My lords, you can't be kind and miss a big deal. These people will speak evil tricks , to incite the people, but what they want is not limited to this, but to rebel and overthrow the imperial court! The yamen in Jinling had already received a search order last month, and until now, if they are not pursued at this time, when will they be pursued? ?!"
As he said that, his soft eyes turned sharply on everyone, and he said murderously: "Ying Tian Fu Yin, Master Li!"
Li Min looked up.
Tang Guan had already prepared to throw out a roll of official documents: "I have a report from a servant in your yamen - it is a case of a farmer surnamed Jin. It is said that this farmer was suspected of being a gangster and brought to the county yamen. But your subordinate Zuo Yang covered up the traitor, ignored the red lotus tattoo several times, released him several times, and the last time was to let him escape, he scratched his tattoo with a knife in the courtroom!——So Forgiveness! The imperial court’s repeated orders are deafening! A farmer, why didn’t he punish the others?! A subject who deliberately resisted, why did he tolerate it like this?!”
Suddenly, he raised his head and stared straight at Fourth Master, "Zuo Yang is also here, you explain to the adults yourself!"
What else is there to explain? The sacred decree is to be "severe and severe", and there is no room for parrying in the following things.Immediately afterwards, Tang Guan ordered that all the mild judgments related to the Taiping Sect be overturned. The Jin farmer beheaded, Zuo Yang was dismissed, and all officials who had treated the Taiping Sect lightly were dealt with severely, and the cases judged were re-examined .
Kuang Jian didn't look up, just smiled silently, listening to the guards stepping forward to strip off Fourth Master's official uniform, and then take it away——
No one in the entire room dared to take a breath, only the sound of needles falling.
"Since Beijing has an order, it is natural to obey it. Let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Li, Li Mengliang, who came to Beijing to supervise the case of suppressing the Taiping Sect."
Tang Guan spoke solemnly, Kuang Jian raised his head, looked over several shoulders and suddenly saw the person sitting beside Tang Guan——
What did Lu Duanxian say in the execution ground?Kuang Jian frowned lightly: The inspectors from Beijing found out that this woman was a demon, and she had been drugged into wontons for ten days, so she used an extraordinary method... Kuang Jian looked at the penis An extraordinary man, he is very sure that he never saw this person on the execution platform just now, since it was his idea, why didn't he show up just now?Instead, let Lu Duanxian, that trash, deal with it?
"The local government offices are still picking up their own, but they must also obey the unified dispatch of the imperial court. Rural fairs are easy to hide traitors, and temples, Taoist temples, nunnery and other places must be combed all over... Those who participate in the conspiracy, regardless of master or slave, will be beheaded ..." Tang Guan followed the instructions, and after setting out the tasks, he asked again: "Do you have any questions?"
Silent.
Tang Guan sneered and knocked on the cigarette rod, and said arrogantly to the officials: "Then go to work!"
