Chapter 534
: Kill
The day before yesterday, I saw the Jinyiwei saving people in the court. Yesterday, I heard or saw a war near the governor's yamen and the people in Hangzhou who had become frightened birds. But early this morning, when they were still in their dreams, they were awakened by a sound of gongs. When they woke up completely, they heard someone outside shouting loudly. After hearing what they were shouting clearly, these people were even more shocked and couldn't come back to their senses for a while.
Amid the crisp sound of gongs, several men with loud voices who were specially found yelled loudly: "Now, it was found that there were Zhejiang governor Zhang Siyuan, the censor Feng Keyan, the governor of Hangzhou Meng Haigang... and others were crazy. For their own selfishness, they secretly sent their subordinates to destroy the dike and drown the entire Jiande... Fortunately, Lord Tang was wise and found out everything. In order to give an explanation to the people who died, a criminal will be executed in front of the Wulin Gate in Hangzhou at 3 noon today..."
Listening to these names that had always been high and became prisoners, and were even about to be asked to be executed, the people who were awakened could not believe their ears. These people are all big men in Zhejiang Province who can cover the sky with their hands and stomp their feet to make the earth move. Will these people say true?
The story spread quickly. When the sun rose, the people of Hangzhou knew that there was such a thing. They contacted what happened the day before yesterday and yesterday, and were even more sure that it was true. Those adults who were arrogant and inviolable in the past have really become prisoners.
At this moment, the people in the entire Hangzhou city were full of interest in the upcoming execution at noon and three o'clock. Someone rushed to Wulin Gate early and just wanted to grab a good position. Unfortunately, there had been surrounded by people, three floors inside and three floors outside, and it would be difficult to find a good position. This is not to say how unpopular the officials were. In fact, Zhang Siyuan was very careful when doing evil things and would not be noticed. In the eyes of the people, although they were not good officials, they were not bad. But because of their very high status, even the people who had no prejudice against them wanted to see what the outcome would be like for these adults and whether they would really cut off their heads.
Nearly noon, a team of Jinyiwei guards were escorting a group of people wearing small clothes and trembling in the cold wind. There were those who had some knowledge and recognized the identities of these people at a closer look. They had always been able to look up and even dare not see the other party's appearance, but now they all had blue-white faces and were staggering forward.
I don’t know who started the first move, but an egg hit one of the officials’ faces. His originally blue and white dough became even more exciting. This attracted more people to throw rotten vegetables, rotten eggs and mud at these people. For a moment, these things hit over like raindrops, and the few people soon became unrecognizable to anyone.
It seemed that they were intentional. This time they took them to Wulin Gate to commit punishment, but did not use a prison car, but asked them to walk with shackles. This time they suffered more. But these people could no longer care about these things and were now being punished. Naturally, they wanted to walk slowly. Even if things did not change, it would be good to live for a longer time.
But no matter how long the road is, it will be at the end. Although there are people on both sides of the road, their speed of moving forward was not hindered. Just after one o'clock in the afternoon, these prisoners were taken to the Wulin Gate. The wooden platform erected there was still a man who asked him to use it to kill Xiong Can and silence him. Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, it turned into a guillotine prepared for him.
After the prisoners were tested one by one, they were taken to the stage by the yamen officers and lined up. When these people went on stage, they really gave up when they saw the executioners with fleshy faces and a big sword in their hands. However, they were stabbed when they came out of prison, so they couldn't even shout accusation.
At this time, Tang Feng also walked slowly to the front of the stage surrounded by guards, and had set up a seat there, which was prepared for him, the prison officer. Since the order to execute them all this time was his own, Tang Feng took over the prison work as a lie.
After sitting on the chair and looking up at the sky, Tang Feng said to the people on the stage: "I know you are very dissatisfied, but you have killed so many people, and you even want to use the troops in your hands to deal with me. So this is the case. I hope you can be an upright person in the next life, and don't make mistakes for something that doesn't belong to you." As he said, his voice suddenly rose: "The time has come, come, prepare to execute the execution!"
After a row of executioners who had been waiting there heard the order, they immediately stepped behind these officials. They were also a little nervous. They had been executioners for their whole lives and had never cut off the heads of such high-ranking officials. This time, there were more than ten people killed, and they had never even heard of them. They could brag about their disciples in the future.
Although he was a little nervous, the executioners' hands were still very quick. They pressed the man to the ground in a few strokes, then held the ghost-headed knife high with both hands, and raised their ears, listening to Lord Tang's greeting.
He was pressed to the ground with a sharp steel knife on his head. It was not until this time that Zhang Siyuan and others truly regretted it. If they had known that they would end up like this, they would not have done such a thing to keep their official position. Even when they were an official in the past, they should not have been greedy for the silver, which made them fall deeper and deeper, and finally got to this point... But all this regret is too late, and there is no regret in the world.
The sun rose to the middle of the sky, and finally arrived at noon at 3 o'clock. Tang Feng took out a fire sign, ticked the word "Slash", and then slapped it on the ground, shouting, "Slash!"
"Huh--Puchi!" The knife fell, his head fell! More than a dozen big men who could turn their hands to make clouds and rain in Zhejiang were killed in front of everyone. Until the head fell to the ground and blood stained the wooden platform, the people still felt a dazed feeling, as if they were just seeing a dream...
"I hope that this killing today will give the latecomers a warning to them to know that the law is unkind. Whether you are a single commoner in a civilian or a noble court official, when you violate the law of the king, you will be subject to equal sanctions!" Tang Feng suddenly shouted loudly at the end.
The people only came to their senses and knelt down one by one, but they didn't know why they were kneeling, and who was the one who knelt. Maybe they were kneeling for justice.
The chopped head was hung high above the city gate to serve as a warning to others. The people also stood up and left. Tang Feng also sighed and turned back. He knew that if he did this, he would inevitably attract criticism from all the ministers in the court, but a real man must do something, and sometimes he cannot care about other things.
Before he could return to the inn, Zhang Tai rushed in quickly before Tang Feng could take a sip of tea. Seeing his expression, Tang Feng knew that things had happened as he thought: "Why, the people from the capital have indeed arrived today? How did you stop them?"
"As the Lord was worried, the imperial edict was really sent today. But I was wrong about it. I don't have to find a way to stop them, because the imperial edict was our own brother from the Jinyiwei." Zhang Tai said.
It turned out that after the decision was made yesterday, Tang Feng made arrangements. He was afraid that the imperial edict would be delivered before he was punished by those people today, so he ordered Zhang Tai to bring a few confidants to ambush the official road leading to Hangzhou. As long as there were really some people coming, no matter what method was used, they would be stopped until after three o'clock in the afternoon.
But what Tang Feng didn't expect was that the people from the Jinyiwei who received the imperial edict this time. When Zhang Tai saw that they were all his own people, he no longer used any tricks. Instead, he met them openly and conveyed Tang Feng's meaning to them. How dare the Jinyiwei who came to pass the imperial edict against the will of the Tongzhi was just a little late, and he did not let them go back. Of course, these people had to obey their decrees.
After listening to Zhang Tai's narration, Tang Feng smiled slightly, and the slight anxiety in his heart was gone because of the imperial edict. Then he asked, "What about them?"
"In order to make this scene true, I will ask them to go to the Governor's Office first. Later, Governor Yan will bring them over." When Zhang Tai said this, a guard guarding outside came in and said, "Sir, Lord Yan suddenly came and said that there is something important to ask you to come out and see you."
Tang Feng knew that the imperial edict had arrived, so he didn't dare to neglect it. After a robe, he walked out strode. Yan Boda seemed to be walking restlessly. When he saw Tang Feng, he said, "Mr. Tang, you have caused a big disaster now. The decree came to the capital to let you listen..."
"I understand, I don't know where the person who sent the order was?" Tang Feng asked with a smile.
"It's coming soon. The next official will take the lead and remind you, sir."
While he was speaking, a solemn voice came from outside: "There is an order!" Then several Jinyiwei stepped into the hall. When Tang Feng was about to kneel down to them to receive the order, the Jinyiwei general flag who was sending the order said: "Mr. Tang, this is the order. You don't need to kneel down to listen to the order." As he said that, he had slowly opened the yellow silk and read the order.
