Chapter Fifty Seven
What Zhen Guochang said again really made everyone stunned. Where did he start?
Just listen to orders and not ask the reason. What organization is this?
Who is the "lord" behind this? Does he want to rebel? These questions keep flashing in the minds of Zhengyao and others for a long time.
"Hey, maybe this is what is called 'If you want others to know, unless you don't do it yourself.' If we hadn't been greedy for pleasure, how could we become prisoners now? Life, this is fate." Zhen Guochang sighed for a while, at this moment
I was already filled with regret.
After all, he is about to die and his words are good. Zhen Guochang is going to do something illegal, and he had long expected that such a day would happen. Therefore, when he spoke, he seemed much sad. He was an official for decades and remembered
It seems like a different life.
Zhang Cheng slapped the auspicious wood and said, "Zhen Guochang, you have done so much that you can't write. Although you are suspected of being coerced and threatened, now a major crime is here, and you are really unforgivable! Seven major crimes, death sentences
!According to the laws and regulations of the Ming Dynasty, "Any rebellion is to be a siege of the country, and a great rebellion is to be a siege of the ancestral temples, mountains, and palaces, but those who are co-conspirators do not follow the leader, and they will all be executed by Lingchi." Therefore, Zhen Guochang should be executed by Lingchi!"
After saying that, he waved his sleeves and immediately stepped forward to the front two soldiers, clamped Zhen Guochang, turned around and headed out of the hall.
Lingchi's execution, and this death sentence sounded scary, but he saw that Zhen Guochang had just paused and no other abnormal movements.
"Let's wait--"
At this time, Zhen Guochang suddenly stopped calling. After stopping, he turned around and looked at Zhengyao in confusion and asked: "I still have something unknown. Even if I die at this moment, I will die with my eyes open."
Everyone didn't understand what Zhen Guochang wanted to know when it came to this point, and Zhang Cheng said impatiently: "What else do you have to do with it? Tell me quickly."
When talking to people like Zhen Guochang, Zhang Cheng would never find a common language. He harmed so many people and allowed him to live for one more minute. Zhang Cheng felt that it was a sin.
Zhengyao smiled and said, "Do you want to ask me?"
Because from Zhen Guochang's eyes, he was looking at Zhengyao at all, and it was obvious that his unknown matter was related to Zhengyao.
Zhen Guochang also smiled and said, "'The Prince Consort in front of the Imperial Palace' is really amazing. I just said one thing, and I knew I had something to ask you, and I recognized it when I fell into your hands."
"You're welcome! But then again, what do you want to ask me? If you ask me why I thought of this way to catch you, then you can turn around and leave."
"Why...?" Zhen Guochang looked at Zhengyao in surprise, as if what he wanted to know was what Zhengyao said.
"Haha." Zhengyao curled his lips and smiled, then slapped his nose and said, "It's nothing, I just want you to die with your eyes open! Take it down!"
After saying that, Zhengyao immediately lowered his head and stopped talking for a while.
If these corrupt officials had not colluded with merchants, if these people had not been randomly judged, if these people had not bullied the people, I believe that Huaxian is definitely not like this now, and Shaohua Mountain would not have been baptized by blood. Until now, I don’t know that there is any
How many people lost their lives because of these people's greed? How could Zhengyao not feel heartbroken? These corrupt officials will be killed. But the other victims are irreparable losses.
Will Zhengyao make Zhen Guochang feel better in this situation? The answer is no. In addition to beheading, the biggest punishment for Zhen Guochang is to make him die with his eyes open.
"Yu Dan, as the Weaving and Dyeing Office, you are engaged in personal gain and fraud, corrupt and abuse of power, and you are in a relationship with Zhen Guochang to rebel. You should also be executed by Lingchi!"
"Zhou Yun! As the magistrate of Xi'an Prefecture, you have repeatedly plotted to murder the prefect. You also intend to rebel with Zhen Guochang and others. The crimes cannot be forgiven and will not be punished! You should be sentenced to be executed immediately!"
"Wang Yong, Ma Changzai, you two are county magistrates, who are full of personal pockets all year round, use their power to accept bribes and embezzle disaster funds. The crime is difficult to write down, and you should be sentenced to death!"
"The merchant has a lot of money!"
"The little one is here!"
"After proof, Jin Xiangyu dared to build weapons and open a mine privately, which was a very ruthless act. According to the laws and regulations of the Ming Dynasty, all Jin Xiangyu's property was confiscated, and the Jin family was killed!"
"I'm wronged... I'm wronged! I... I don't know anything!"
I had a lot of money and even had urine out now. I never expected that this would happen.
Zhang Cheng said in a tough voice: "The evidence of the crime is conclusive, and you are allowed to deny it? I will drag it down and behead you!"
"I'm asking for mercy! I'm asking for mercy! I'm asking for mercy--"
No matter how much money is, it will be useless. In fact, he is indeed worthy of death.
"Ye Sitong, the magistrate of Weinan County, should be sentenced to be executed!"
"Zhen Guowei, the magistrate of Huayin County, should be sentenced and executed..."
“…”
“…”
Only when Zhang Cheng could hear Zhang Cheng keep reading the names and crimes of the officials involved in the case, and then he was executed. Until he sentenced all the more than 30 officials involved in the case present, Zhang Cheng finally took a breath.
"Mr. Liu, now only the Censor and the Commander-in-Chief are left before they appear. Now these two people are left to you for disposal!" Zhengyao finally spoke.
"Please rest assured that the prince consort will fulfill his mission!"
"Very good, then everyone is hungry now. Have a meal first, let's talk about what you have to eat." Seeing that all those who should be sentenced were sentenced, those who should be beheaded were beheaded, and he had barely completed the task. Zhengyao also thought it was
Time to relax your guard.
The prince-consort said, "Who dared not to obey, so everyone walked towards the dining room, talking and laughing.
Although there had just been a fight on Shaohua Mountain and only eight or eight brothers on Shaohua Mountain were killed or injured, there were still people cooking. But when Zhengyao and his group came to the dining room, they found that
The meals on the table were quite sumptuous.
In fact, it is very simple. Liu Xian, who has been out of the country for many years, has no one under him. He can cook a few dishes, so he can catch a lot of people just by just grabbing them.
During the meal, Zhengyao first respected Liu Xian. If it weren't for Liu Xian's sudden appearance, he would probably be the one who died now, not Zhen Guochang and others. Zhengyao was naturally very grateful for this. Zhengyao was easy-going and Zhengyao was also
I had a drink with the boss Peng Guodong and expressed my deep gratitude to him.
Yuan Haiyun always had something to say and didn't vomit, and immediately asked Xiang Zhengyao: "Now Zhen Guochang is dead, he should die with his eyes open. How about it? Now it's time to talk about what's going on,
It was obvious that we had kidnapped us. Why did we release us again today? Why did Lord Liu come with the army? Why did he solve all the problems in one go?"
Why, why? Yuan Haiyun's clumsy head really couldn't figure out what these reasons were.
Of course, including Liu Yan, Zhang Cheng, Zhou Bing and the safe Lan family, they were all very curious about why.
Don't say it's a coincidence, I believe that no one will believe it even if it says it.
Zhengyao saw that everyone was staring at him with questioning eyes. It seemed that this matter was not explained clearly, so he would not think about it tonight. Zhengyao looked at Peng Guodong and Liu Xian helplessly and smiled: "You guys."
Don't worry, listen to me slowly.”
At this time, everyone put down the bowls and chopsticks in their hands, and they heard Zhengyao telling the whole story seriously.
It turned out that before Zhengyao left Beijing, Jiajing knew that he had suppressed bandit Liu Xian in Yunnan, saying that once Zhengyao had an emergency, Liu Xian must set off immediately. There were also letter exchanges between Zhengyao and Liu Xian, so
The moment Zhengyao stepped into Huaxian County, Liu Xian had actually set out from Yunnan and set out for Shaanxi.
On the other hand, Hua Qingyue suddenly found Zhengyao before leaving, and at the same time she also said that her father and a junior brother became a bandit on Shaohua Mountain. She originally wanted Zhengyao to go to investigate and be able to open the door.
It was a little bit open. As a result, when Zhengyao first set foot on Shaohua Mountain, he thought of a plan in his mind: Shaohua Mountain is the key to solving the case.
So Zhengyao worked in the Jinxiangyu factory in Huaxian County and investigated the news by the way; secretly, he made an agreement with a group of leaders in Shaohua Mountain. As long as he could help solve the case, Zhengyao decided to give these people a decision.
Recruitment.
Who wants to be a bald man with hair? All the leaders are also ready to go. In addition, Zhengyao is the only successor to Hua Zhenhu, Peng Guodong immediately agreed. So he started their plan.
For Zhengyao, this first step is the most important and does not make people doubt it. So after Zhengyao's investigation openly and secretly, he found that Ma Chang was in close contact with a group of local merchants, and finally, on the first night of the Lantern Festival, Shaohua Mountain
The people kidnapped the county magistrate Ma Changzai and several important figures, and demanded a ransom.
Only in this way can others not doubt it, thinking that this is really just a kidnapping case, and then Ma Wentao will pass the message. Zhengyao is probably approaching him and just wants to take the next second step.
However, Zhengyao's acting skills are indeed good enough. The fights in the martial arts training room on Shaohua Mountain look so real and so colorful. Later, "Accidental" exposes himself in "Flying Cloud Eight Styles" later.
The identity of the prince-consort has brought the kidnapping into a new stage.
The kidnapped son-in-law must have caused panic. I believe that the civil and military officials in Shaanxi are restless. At this time, the only way is to go up the mountain to save people. In this way, Zhen Guochang and others cannot think about whether this will be a Hongmen banquet.
Then he followed up the mountain resolutely.
Everything was calculated, everything was carried out according to what Zhengyao planned, taking risks with his body, leading the enemy deep into the jar, catching turtles in the jar, and connecting them step by step, which was indeed the case. But what he didn't expect was that Zhen Guochang would actually have a chance to do so.
Secretly informed the officers and soldiers that they had washed Shaohua Mountain bloodied.
Liu Xian and his group, who had been lurking in the mountains and forests, heard the sound of fighting on Shaohua Mountain, so they went up the mountain one after another. Finally, at a critical moment, they rescued Zhengyao and others and captured Zhen Guochang and others.
"Okay, you Li Zhengyao! I've been with you for so long, I don't know anything. You have done so many things in secret. It's not enough brother!" Yuan Haiyun now saw the blue sky through the clouds.
Zhengyao understood everything after saying this.
Everyone solved the mystery and showed a look like this.
Liu Yan couldn't help but nodded, patted Zhengyao's shoulder lightly, and said with a smile: "I feel ashamed of my third brother for being such a strategy."
Zhengyao smiled and said, "Where is it, if it weren't for your second brother, you deliberately mingled with them and collected evidence of their bribery, I believe my plan would not have been successful so quickly. In general, everyone has made efforts,
hehe."
Zhang Cheng said: "Okay, okay. No matter what, the eldest brother's life was saved by the second and third brothers. Good brother, for the rest of his life!"
"Okay, good brother, life!" (To be continued...)
