imprinted you in my heart

Usually, before dawn, many vendors gathered at the entrance of the West Market. Today, with the cold wind blowing, the face was sore, but there were more people than usual.

After a while, it dawned, and there were more and more people.A middle-aged man with an energetic face is carrying a burden, hanging small bamboo products such as a colander and a fish basket, and hanging a dustpan and other larger bamboo paper products. He is waiting for the West Market with friends who are doing small business When I opened the door, there were a few sleepy people not far away. They didn't bring anything. They were obviously not businessmen, so they asked in a low voice, "Why are there so many people today?".

The short fat man sitting next to him looked at him suspiciously, making sure that he really didn't know, and then said slowly: "I didn't see it, they were all just watching the fun, but it seems that there was a lot of fun watching today."

"What's the excitement?" The West Market is indeed lively, but I'm already tired of watching it every day, and the tall man still doesn't quite understand.

While the two were talking, a group of yamen servants came over with a group of people. Without the yamen servants opening their mouths, the people in the middle section of the West City Gate emptied in an instant, and they all crowded around.

Followed by the yamen servants are the subordinate officials who are in charge, as well as the pullers, artisans and laborers. After the subordinate officials in charge have explained, the craftsmen start to get busy, and the yamen servants are responsible for guarding around and posting the notices prepared in advance. bar.

The two tall and tall people were very close to the notice board. Although they were illiterate and the short and fat man didn't say anything, the tall man understood from the voices of people talking and reading notices that today was the day of beheading after autumn.

He suddenly understood the "watching the fun" in the mouth of his friends. There were many people watching when he killed a few, and he killed a group today, so there would be many people watching the fun.

The sleepy-eyed people who were not far away were now full of energy. The man wearing a black right jacket complained: "It's rare to take a bath today, but the teacher assigned the homework of watching the torture. Not to mention the blood, I didn't even sleep in." Gotta sleep".

The remaining four people look at me and I look at you. Although their psychology is the same as what he thought, what they said became words of advice. Man B persuaded: "Teacher has a reason for doing this. If you think it's bloody, I will cover my eyes with my sleeve for a while."

"It's still early at three o'clock in the afternoon, why don't we find a nearby restaurant to sit down?" Man C suggested, the teacher asked them to watch from the beginning to the end, and they didn't have to stare at the scene, they could also see clearly from the nearby upstairs very.

The proposal was quickly agreed by the other four people, and a group of five people found a restaurant after opening in the West Market and asked for a private room facing the street with a view of the execution ground.

The execution ground was set up in less than an hour. There was a row of gallows and a row of muduns specially used for beheading. The entire execution ground had 360 degrees without dead ends, and even the high platform where the supervisor and beheader sat was open-topped.

"Why is this different from usual?" the man A with the black right lapel asked in confusion.

Prisoners sentenced to death would only be beheaded in the past, and the high platform where the beheading officer sat was able to shelter from the wind and rain with only one side left, let alone posting notices like today to let everyone know the general information of the prisoner and crimes committed.

Another man, Ding, said disdainfully: "As usual, we will be here."

"That's right, most of the people executed today are corrupt officials, many of whom are high-ranking and powerful. We only study for fame and fame. The teacher is giving us a wake-up call in advance," the man Wu said with feeling.

The man Ding said: "According to the information in the New Daily, not only are we executing executions here, but also in other provinces across the country. I'm afraid it's the day chosen by the Qin Tianjian in advance. Speaking of which, it's too late this year after autumn. For a long time, they can be regarded as making money."

Man B continued: "It's still the period of national mourning, and it's normal in the later days. Your Majesty can't tolerate sand in his eyes. If we enter the court and become officials in the future, we must not follow in their footsteps."

The empress dowager passed away, and His Majesty pardoned many people, but these people were sentenced to death in the end, which shows His Majesty's hatred for these corrupt officials and those who bend the law for personal gain.

"This statement is reasonable, and we should take it as a warning. With the current privileges and salary of the gentry, it is completely enough to support a family, and there is no need to take the risk of beheading for corruption," Man A agreed.

Ding, a man, didn't quite agree: "It's too early to say these things at this time. I heard that the original text was tried in three courts in two days, and I didn't see the real chapter until then."

In the original text, the Marquis is not only the emperor's cousin, but also a true relative of the emperor. He was also the emperor's attendant. His relationship with the emperor is not comparable to those who were beheaded today. Only then will we really see something.

The remaining four people also thought of this, and they all fell silent, because even if Wen Zhiyuan had been deprived of his title of nobleman, his status as a relative of the emperor would not change, and they were a little uncertain about how they would be judged in the end.

. . . . . . . . . . . .

"Are you sure you don't want to take a look?" Shi Min asked unwillingly.

She always thought that Bu Qianxue would go to watch the execution. After all, Ding Shou who killed her mother was inside, but what she didn't expect was that when it was about noon, Bu Qianxue came into the palace to look for her.

Bu Qianxue hugged the small heater and nodded seriously. She really didn't want to watch such a bloody scene in the cold weather. She knew that the other party had already received the punishment he deserved.

"It doesn't matter if you don't go to see it." Whether Bu Qianxue goes or not, she supports it, "Can I stay for a few days when I come back this time? The mother has moved to Yongshou Palace, just to move your things."

Although the two are not yet married, they can live in each other's house for a short time or even permanently for a few months or half a year after they are engaged.

Bu Qianxue took a sip of tea and asked in confusion, "The queen mother lived well in Anren Palace, why did she suddenly move to Yongshou Palace?".

After the empress dowager passed away, Bu Qianxue spent more time with Wen Yu than Shi Min. They didn't know that she knew how sad the empress mother was, and also knew that the reason why she didn't move was because she was afraid of moving there. See things and think about people.

After all, every plant and tree in Yongshou Palace and even the rabbits left by the Empress Dowager make people think of their masters.

"It's not sudden. My mother mentioned it to me before, and she specially asked Qin Tianjian to choose a day." After finishing speaking, Shi Min got up and walked back to the desk, asking tentatively: "There are still many memorials today, help Shall I approve some?".

"Okay." Bu Qianxue couldn't wish for it, and she often stayed in the mansion recently, she really missed the days when the two of them wrote melodies together.

Shi Min didn't want to be disturbed by others, so Lu Guanchu didn't call out, he carried a pile of memorabilia to Bu Qianxue, and helped her get paper and pens, in case she was cold, he even placed the brazier on the Arhat's bed.

Qing Ying, who was sleeping soundly by the brazier, had to move her body, snorted twice before falling asleep again.

Qingying, who usually likes to run around, becomes much more obedient as soon as winter comes. To put it bluntly, she sleeps more and moves less, divine beast?Those who didn't know thought it was a snake about to hibernate.

Qingying made a great contribution to finding Bu Qianxue. Shi Min not only increased the amount of food for it, but also improved the quality, no longer only mutton and pork, but occasionally some venison and the like , so that it seems to be a lot rounder recently.

. . . . . . . . . . . .

As soon as [-]:[-] p.m., the supervisor and beheading official Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment at the Xishi Execution Ground immediately threw away the token. As soon as the token fell to the ground, the executioners and other executioners began to do it. Before the time for a cup of tea, the head of the person who should hit the ground fell He who should die under the gallows also dies.

Although Ding Shou still had a lot of unwillingness and anger when she was sent to the execution ground, but at the moment when she really felt the imminent death, she still regretted it before she died. She regretted listening to her parents to run for the election. Her life must be different, even if she wasn't a prince, she wouldn't be so unwilling to die.

The Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice had only been here for less than half an hour, his hands were almost numb from the cold, and after confirming that the prisoners were all dead, he immediately arranged the follow-up finishing work to the subordinate staff, and he returned to the yamen in a sedan chair.

The subordinate staff immediately arranged for people to put all the corpses together in one place. The execution platform should be dismantled, and the ground should be washed. It must be restored to its original state in half an hour. Where to go back and where to go.

As for the corpse, if the family members claim it, they will take it back for burial after completing the procedures such as signing and painting;

Because His Majesty is vigorously cracking down on corruption crimes today, all officials involved in the case will be suspended or dismissed almost immediately. There is basically no time or right to turn around or operate in a black box. After being convicted according to the law, most of them will be ransacked or fined. The family members are nothing more than the remnants of His Majesty's mercy, so only a few were claimed and buried in the end, and the majority were buried in Yigang.

As soon as the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice left, people around the execution ground shouted and sold rotten vegetables and eggs. Those who had money immediately bought some, and those who had no money stood by to pick up some for recycling.Dozens of corpses were placed together, and rotten vegetables and eggs flew towards those corpses in a mess like snowflakes.

Except for a small number of people who came to watch the execution because of the teacher's request, most of the others came to watch the fun. Big corrupt officials may have lives on their hands.

Among them, several big corrupt officials have actually been greedy for several million taels. How much people's fat and people's cream have been scraped off, several million taels. I'm afraid most people have never seen 100 taels of silver. All the people became enraged, wishing to kill these corpses again.

Five people, A, B, C, D, and E, who were watching the execution not far away were frightened by the people who went crazy and smashed the vegetables and eggs. The bloody execution just now was still terrifying.

Man A suspects that if the law stipulates that rotten vegetables and leaves can be thrown along the road, I am afraid that these corpses will be stinky dog ​​feces before execution, and the corresponding street will also be turned into a garbage street. The smelly street is disgusting. , went back immediately.

There are still many unwell people like the five of them, and some people even started to retreat and refuse to take the exam, or they didn't enter the officialdom after passing the exam. Once the man A left, the rest or people like them also left the execution ground immediately. I just wish I could have longer legs, so hurry up and hurry up.

On the day of Wen Zhiyuan's third trial, before dawn, Fandu ushered in the first snow of the year. It fell for two full hours. After being covered in silver, Fandu was as pure as a piece of white paper, clean and clean. tidy.

Pushing open the window, the ground was snow-white, Shi Min was ecstatic, and immediately wrote a poem, sealed it in an envelope, and handed it to Lu Guanchu, saying: "Give it to Zhonggong, if Zhonggong is not awake, don't disturb it." , go", "Yes, Your Majesty" Lu Guanchu took the order to leave.

Bu Qianxue didn't have many things, and the move was finished in less than two days, so she slept in Anren Palace for the past two days, which was much closer to her than Changfu Palace, and it didn't take much time for Lu Guanchu to go there . ?
