Chapter 957 Execution
"The Zhenbei Army's biggest problem has always been the lack of ways to support the army. The old man of the Chen family once wanted to prospect for mines, but his Majesty noticed it before he entered the right path. This road was cut off, and the future of the Chen family was cut off."
"Beiguan has poor geological conditions and poor climate. Unlike Kuya, which has spring all year round, agriculture can be developed. It is difficult to have enough food and drink in Beiguan." Xiao Lingyao sneered: "Cheng Cen's ambition is so big that it can break the sky.
, Chen Tianxiao also wants to think about whether he has this ability."
The situation in Beiguan is not much better than that of Kuya. At least Kuya has not been discovered yet. Although it has to start from scratch, there is no such thing as the East Yue king who is eyeing him with covetousness on one side and Bei Mo who has wolfish ambitions on the other.
Sandwich Pie.
Not to mention that the Zhenbei Army had to rely on funds from the imperial court to support the army. Beiguan was in such a geographical environment. The local food was wheat as the staple food, followed by rice. Crop growth was not active, but animal husbandry was okay.
There is another flaw in Beiguan - the transportation is inconvenient. Although it is slightly better than Wang'an Mountain, the traffic is still not as good as near the capital, otherwise it would not be called a deserted land. With the efforts of the Zhenbei Army, it is worse than before. It’s improved a lot, but so what?
Insufficient congenital conditions, defects in workmanship and raw materials, doomed infrastructure construction to be slow, not to mention that Chen Tianxiao did not realize the importance of road construction. He only started it to facilitate the transportation of military supplies, and road construction was actually related to the future.
"It's okay, Chen Tianxiao is surrounded by tigers and wolves, but don't forget that the emperor must have his own eyes and ears in Beiguan. Once he knows that there are changes on his side, he will just shift his attention to Beiguan. East Vietnam is busy with political affairs, and he has to guard against foreign enemies.
, and there is the Beiguan Rebellion..."
Qin Feng said slowly: "The energy that can be spared to look for us is limited. Based on this, we would like to thank Yifan Zhenbeihou and Mrs. Yinzhenbeihou."
They want to act like monsters, and Cheng Cen, who is afraid of chaos in the world, is here, and the chaos in Beiguan is inevitable. Great, great!
In the blink of an eye, the period of national mourning for the Queen of Dongyue was over, and the capital city returned to its former prosperity. However, not long after the national mourning ended, something shocking happened to the whole city. The brother of Marquis Wu'an who went to Wangan Mountain committed a serious crime and was beaten.
In jail.
However, just a few days later, news came out that the whole family was confiscated, the men were convicted, and the women were sold, which was tantamount to genocide!
There were countless rumors at that time. Some people said that as soon as Marquis Wu An left, his brother suffered a serious crime. This must be because Marquis Wu An offended His Majesty. Some people said that Marquis Wu An was afraid that he would lose his life after leaving the capital, so he went to Wangan Mountain.
It's just a cover.
When Xiao Zhen left with his soldiers in a majestic manner, many people witnessed it with their own eyes. Wasn't he guarding the border of Northeast China for Dongyue? This was serving the country. Why did he walk in front and then on the back? As soon as the national mourning was over, he wanted to
The fate of his brothers and his family?
I don’t know how it spread among the people, but the men of Xiao Zhen’s two brothers were sentenced to be beheaded, and the two heads of the family were actually sentenced to beheaded!
After the news came out, the people who were still talking about it all kept their mouths shut. On the day of the execution, the streets were crowded with people again. Some people lamented that the execution was carried out with such great fanfare just after the national mourning. It was a bit more evil.
The location of the Yuchun Building was excellent, and it was almost impossible to miss any important events. Even on the day of the execution, Xicheng and others stayed upstairs by the windows, watching the team escorting the prisoners as they drove toward the exit surrounded by the crowd.
At the execution ground, everyone sighed.
Although Marquis Wu'an had no real power, he had soldiers under his command and held the title of Marquis. Thanks to his blessing, his two brothers also entered the official clan and became military attachés. Although their official positions were not high, they used his eldest brother's reputation in the city.
He also walks horizontally.
Who could have expected that they would end up like this, but Chun Niang knew the inside story and whispered: "General Xiao wanted to take them away before he left. It was because they were reluctant to part with the prosperity of the capital and the splendor they thought they had. They refused to live or die together.
leave."
Poor people must have their own hateful qualities. They should know how they got their official positions and understand the situation of their relatives in the court. To push oneself into this abyss is not to seek death.
Even so, looking at the Xiao family who were locked in the prison car and being tortured into human shapes, Xicheng and others trembled in their hearts. In the convoy, only the men of the family were escorted, but there were also dozens of people, all wearing shackles on their heads.
, his hands were chained and his hair was unkempt.
Not only that, there were obvious scars on their faces. Although the prison clothes on their bodies were new, their bodies were huddled together and the expressions on their faces were painful. It looked like they had suffered a lot of torture in prison!
They were forced to wear new, loose prison uniforms, as if to hide their presence from others. Xue Cheng not only sighed: "Kunpeng has become a unicorn now, and we have to leave. I hope that after we leave, we won't be implicated and end up like this."
"It can be seen that the only way for us to leave quickly is the right way." Si Yuan's fat face showed a trace of paleness: "Have you ever discovered that the people recently sent by the prince to the company under the guise of learning from us are actually trying to replace them?
us?"
They had expected this. A new employer had come up. How could they reuse people from the old employer? This would create hidden dangers for themselves.
Chun Niang was silent. Thinking of Long Qi's words, she sighed that she was confused because she was in the middle of the game. She wanted to stay in Hongyu Tower and continue to collect intelligence for Qin Feng. It was a fool's errand!
They will all be cleared out. Even if King Rui wants to use them, Emperor Yuan behind him will not agree. It is a blessing for them to escape unscathed. Looking at the fleet of cars going away, Chun Niang said: "We should also prepare.
"
Everyone nodded silently, and the motorcade arrived at the execution ground before three quarters noon. Among the people watching, there were many women, old people and children. They came to watch the fun, but when they saw the posture on the execution ground, they felt a little regretful, especially when they should not have done so.
Bring the kids.
The sun is shining brightly above the head. The execution at three quarters of noon is a rule that has been in place since the beginning of the Great Qi. In ancient times, a day and a night were divided into twelve hours, and also divided into a hundred quarters. The engraving refers to the notches on the drip barrel of the timer. One day and night drip.
Once a barrel is finished, it is divided into one hundred quarters.
Converted to time in modern society, noon is between 11 and 13 noon, and quarter past noon is close to 12 noon. The sun hangs in the center of the sky, which is the time when the shadows on the ground are the shortest, and when the ancients believed that the Yang energy was at its strongest.
time.
Murder is a sinister thing. The person who executes the execution or the person who handles it are all afraid of death. Dongyue believes in the existence of ghosts and gods. All karma and retribution are taken for granted. The yang energy is strongest at three o'clock in the afternoon and is the most suitable for execution. Even if there is a ghost,
The yang energy also made his soul fly away!
