Chapter eight hundred and eightieth: cut the decision
Pyongyang City.
Caishikou, which is bustling on weekdays, is even more crowded today, and it is very lively.
A large number of war soldiers wearing armor and holding spears were arranged in circles to isolate the people watching outside. Among the people are aunts carrying vegetable baskets, rich people dressed in gorgeous clothes, and gentle scholars.
They are watching beheading.
In the middle of the warriors is a simple wooden punishment platform.
The prison officer sat behind the desk and looked up frequently to watch the sun.
There were a row of people kneeling in front of them, each kneeling on the ground in prison uniforms, with signs on his collars and their names written on them.
The main culprit was Liu Yichun, the Marquis of Dingfang of the former Jin Dynasty. He had eight sons, ten grandsons, twelve clan members, and nine evil slaves.
After investigation, the county magistrate Cui Yue sentenced these people to behead and punish, and the house was confiscated. His wife, daughter, and his unemployed descendants were in danger of being an official maid.
After review by Wu Nian, Zhu Bi Yu approved it.
"allow."
The dignified Dingfang Hou family has reproduced for more than ten generations. As for the powerful, wealthy and powerful Liu family, they are almost completely caught in one place and will never be able to turn over.
Liu Yichun and others did not struggle. They struggled, cried, and asked someone to plead for mercy. But there was no reply.
There is only one ending, killing and decisive.
"I didn't expect that I had enjoyed decades of glory and wealth, but Old Man Lin was beheaded with his sons. His wife, daughter and grandson became slaves to others, and his family business was snatched away by Wu Nian. I have tried my best to plunder the people's wealth and ointment over the years, and finally became a wedding dress for Wu Nian. Why am I?"
Liu Yichun recalled her life, with fresh clothes and angry horses, beautiful food and beauty, and looked down at the prison uniform she was wearing now. She couldn't help but feel sad and hatred was quick.
"Wu Nian. I curse you to have a son and a grandson." Liu Yichun roared veins on his forehead and shouted to the sky.
The prison officer, the swordsman and the soldiers present were all furious.
"Diet to the point of death, you still dare to be rampant. The person who came, chopped up his ten fingers." The prison officer shouted.
"Yes." A soldier was filled with righteous indignation, pulled out the steel knife from his waist and walked towards Liu Yichun.
Liu Yichun sneered, raised her head and said, "I'm about to die, are you still afraid of cutting your fingers? Come on, call me, I'm the son of a turtle."
After the soldiers helped him untied him, he even stretched out his fingers and asked the soldiers to chop them.
But after chopping off a finger, Liu Yichun screamed and said heartbrokenly: "Ahhh!! Bless me, spare me. It hurts me to death, it hurts me to death."
If you have ten fingers connected to the heart, chopping off ten fingers is even more painful and torment than beheading your head.
The warrior looked cold and had no intention of stopping, so he chopped off Liu Yichun's fingers one by one.
What a joke.
He actually cursed our Han King to have no sons and grandchildren? The Han Dynasty was prosperous and the Han princes were prosperous.
When Liu Yichun lost ten fingers and collapsed on the ground, sweating like a waterfall, and her face was as white as gold paper, the soldiers were satisfied. They reached out to wipe Liu Yichun's prison clothes, then they put the knife into the sheath, jumped off the punishment platform, and returned to the queue.
"This is really miserable. Ding Fanghou is so dignified. But why am I very happy?"
"It's right to be happy. I'm so arrogant on weekdays, so I deserve it now. I'm just taking human life, bullying men and women, and taking advantage of others. There's nothing that these people dare not do."
"Yes. Now the adult males of the Dingfang Hou family have been killed, and the strong men in the clan have been killed. All wives and daughters have become official maids, which is really a relief. I wonder what it feels like to be a dignified wife and a lady to become a slave to others? Haha."
The people who applaud are the people, and they hate corrupt officials the most, and they are the ones who are illegal and powerful.
Since ancient times, seeing corrupt officials beheading has been something that the people like to hear.
"The King of Han is really decisive. We scholars should not think about getting promoted or getting rich. We have to think about doing things well. Otherwise, we should stop taking the imperial examination and going home to farm. Otherwise, we will be punished sooner or later if we become corrupt officials."
"Yes. The King of Han hated corrupt officials and the criminal law was severe. In addition, there was a Gongcao Wang Youxiao in the court, known as Wang Yanwang. He stared at all officials with his eyes open and supervised civil and military officials. He thought it was terrible."
People who read are more complicated.
Being an official is the ultimate dream of scholars. Although most scholars cannot even pass the exam for scholars, they do not prevent them from thinking about it.
Scholars like and hate the founding king.
I like the founding king's talent and decisive behavior, but I hate the founding king who is too smart and difficult to fool.
The obedient emperor is the favorite thing for scholars.
That is, "sharing the world with scholars and officials", "not punishing scholars and officials", etc.
What's wrong with being greedy for money?
What's wrong with being greedy for beauty?
What's wrong with mediocrity and incompetence?
We study hard and enjoy the high school emperor list. What's wrong with enjoying it?
In short, scholars have a complicated mood.
Originally, the powerful people in Goguryeo were different.
They had no good feelings for Wu Nian at all.
A restaurant.
On the balcony on the second floor, three powerful men sat together, looking at the fate of Dingfang Hou Liu Yichun, with a complex expression of resentment and helplessness.
The three are descendants of the heroes of the Jin Dynasty.
Li Ding, Zhang Xiang.
Jin's clan.
Jin Yu.
The powerful and powerful all intermarried each other. The three of them have a very close blood relationship, and the relationship is very strong and they speak casually.
Li Ding said: "I am so respectful in the front and arrogant in the back. When Wu Nian first captured Pyongyang City, he treated us preferentially. Now he has revealed his fangs."
Zhang Xiang and Jin Yu were shocked and sweated in a cold sweat, and then subconsciously checked whether there were any ears and ears around. Seeing that there was no one around, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Xiang scolded: "It's not the time now, be careful in words and actions."
"You are right. Be careful that you will end up with Liu Yichun." Jin Yu also said with a serious expression.
"Oh." Li Ding sighed and stopped talking.
Not only Liu Yichun, many people have been arrested.
All three of them had clean feathers or relatively clean, so there was nothing to do. But they also handed over a lot of land and slaves.
Even if you are not a wealthy miser, you will be cut off most of your property in vain and become a "poor" family, which will be very heartbroken.
What's more, the powerful and wealthy families are married to each other, and many of their relatives have been arrested. Liu Yichun is one of them.
How can we not let the rabbit die and the fox be sad?
How can you not be angry with Wu Nian?
But there is nothing to do.
When the dust settles, resistance will only lead to a miserable death.
"I heard that Wu Nian was going to a military parade. He also summoned the village chiefs of Goguryeo, famous figures in the village, or gentry, and others. I am afraid that thousands of people came to Pyongyang City to watch the military parade. He established his capital in Jiangcheng, Yingqing Prefecture, and he was not in Goguryeo, so he was worried about the situation in Goguryeo. So he used the army to shock people."
