Chapter 835: Loyalty is not to be blasphemed
Everything was carried out quickly according to Wu Zheng's intentions.
To Wu Zheng's surprise, especially Zhang Huangyan, in addition to the 20 taels of silver for each person participating in the war in the notice, most of the silver was taken away by the people, and less than 30% of the pension for the casualties was taken.
It's really strange, if you don't take money, you have a sick brain?
For this reason, Wu Zheng specially sent Ma Shiying, who was responsible for distributing pensions and rewarding silver, to ask the reason.
Ma Shiying replied: "Back to the prince's words, the families of those casualties are all in unison, and they are not subject to the government's pension. ”
"Why?" Zhang Huangyan asked.
"The people say that their relatives died fighting for their country, and this is glory and cannot be blasphemed! Since the government has made it clear that the elderly and orphans are supported by the government, they should no longer receive the government's pension. ”
When Wu Zheng heard this, he sighed and said, "After this incident, the people of Xiushui have already realized this, and even if they get millions of gold, they will not change it...... Brother Xuan, this is what we urgently need. ”
This time, Zhang Huangyan nodded in agreement and said: "What the prince said is very true, and the people's hearts can be used!" ”
……。
Three days later, in the northwest corner of the square in front of the Yaqian in Xiushui County, a high platform was erected to watch the crowds of people.
Chen Hongfan and 189 Qing prisoners were escorted to the bottom of the stage, where a whole row of tree stumps had been placed.
Zhang Huangyan, in his capacity as an envoy of the General's Office, directly stated the charges and sentenced 189 traitors to the crime of treason.
In front of tens of thousands of people, a group of people were dragged to the stump, pressed the side of their head to the stump, and then swung down with a knife, and the head was in a different place, blood gushed like a spring, splashing everywhere, this kind of visual impact, I am afraid that after seeing it, it will be unforgettable for a lifetime.
As Wu Zheng said, we must let the world remember today, what can be done and what cannot be done!
This tragic scene, after today, will spread with the wind all over the world.
This is different from the massacre of the Manchu Dynasty, this is the verdict of the Great General of the Yixing Dynasty against the traitors and traitors, the verdict of justice, the verdict of shock!
Chen Hongfan, whose mouth was gagged with a rag, had his eyes as wide as the eyes of a dead fish.
He really wanted to beg for mercy, and in the past three days, he shouted countless times in the yamen prison to see Wu Zheng.
At the beginning, the guards really sent a message to Wu Zheng for him, but in exchange for Wu Zheng's kick.
From then on, the guards ignored Chen Hongfan anymore, and when they got tired of hearing it, they kicked it away.
At this time, he knelt under the stage and witnessed one hundred and eighty-nine people, and in front of him, he was already paralyzed with fright, and he was drowning in incontinence.
Seeing that one hundred and eighty-nine people had been executed, he knew that it was his turn next.
He tried his best to struggle, and turned back to Wu Zheng on the stage and "wooed...... Woo woo woo".
Wu Zheng has always only looked at and did not speak, he is a general, and he implements military law, and the judgment of these locals is obviously not within the scope of his power, what is needed is Zhang Huangyan, according to the probation, and the provincial punishment is impeached.
But at this time, seeing Chen Hongfan dying and struggling, Wu Zheng stood up with a smile, walked to the side of the stage, looked down at Chen Hongfan, who was tied behind his back and looked up at him, and said: "You deserve to die, but unfortunately, you only have one life...... Originally, this king didn't want to be involved in the criminal matter, but now that he has made an exception, this king will reveal a little bit to you...... You will not die today. ”
Chen Hongfan was overjoyed, thinking that things had taken a turn for the better.
But then, Wu Zheng said again: "This king can reveal more to you, and you won't die tomorrow, or even ...... I won't die the day after tomorrow! ”
Chen Hongfan's smile gradually stiffened, and he suddenly thought of a possibility, and he suddenly desperately "wooed...... Whew, then turned around and slammed into a tree stump in front of the stage.
But there were guards guarding him on the left and right behind him, so naturally he was not allowed to succeed.
What made this living Qin Hui, who was afraid of dying all his life, suddenly come up with the decision to commit suicide?
Wu Zheng did not uncover the mystery, but slowly walked back to his seat, and said with his right hand: "Lord Zhang, please!" ”
Zhang Huangyan got up and read the verdict aloud, "...... In view of the fact that Chen's crime of committing Hong Fan was extremely heinous, and he could not atone for his crime by death, with the permission of the king of Huiji County, the official sentenced that Chen Hongfan was handed over to the people of Xiushui to deal with him on behalf ......of the Han people in Jiangnan. ”
At this moment, the people in the audience were boiling.
Suddenly the crowd rushed forward.
Zhang Huangyan had to signal to the government soldiers on the stage and hit the gong to warn.
After a pause in the restless crowd, Zhang Huangyan took advantage of this gap and said loudly: "Three days...... Within three days, Chen Prisoner Hong Fan was not allowed to die, and if he dared to kill Chen Prisoner within three days, he was punished as a traitor ....... ”
Zhang Huangyan waved his hand and said, "Release people!" ”
The soldiers then cut the rope that bound Chen Hongfan.
At this point, even if the people in the audience are fools, I am afraid they know what the government means.
The crowd became restless again, instantly drowning Chen Hongfan.
……。
Return to the prefectural office.
Zhang Huangyan asked, "What does this mean, prince?" ”
Wu Zhengyou said: "Letting the people kill Chen Hongfan with their own hands is more educational than the execution of the government, isn't it?" ”
Zhang Huangyan said with annoyance: "I haven't heard of this kind of verdict, and it comes from my mouth." ”
Wu Zheng laughed and said: "Brother Xuan, don't worry, today's sentence will be praised by future generations, as a precedent for punishing traitors and traitors who are extremely criminal, and should be used as a reference for future generations!" ”
Zhang Huangyan glared at Wu Zheng fiercely and said, "I know it, you just want to let me carry this notoriety!" ”
Wu Zheng shook his head and said: "The law is satisfactory, this character is not an individual, but a group." The so-called law does not blame the public, and today's judgment made by Brother Xuan in line with the will of the people, how can it be notorious? Whoever dares to say that his brother bends the law, this king will tear his mouth first...... Besides, Chen Hongfan's crime, no one in the Han people in Jiangnan knows it, and no one knows it, even if the means overflow the law, but the law is also made by people, revise it...... Haha, just modify it. ”
In the end, Wu Zheng laughed himself.
Zhang Huang couldn't help but laugh.
Think about it, Chen Hongfan is a disaster for the Hongguang Dynasty, saying that his treason is one of the main reasons for the instant demise of the Hongguang Dynasty, it is obviously not too much, how many people died because of him?
The two looked at each other and laughed for a while, Zhang Huangyan suddenly thought of something and asked: "But in case, under the anger of the people today, Chen Hongfan was really killed, does the prince really want to deal with the people for traitor?" ”
Wu Zheng glared and said: "Order out the law, Zhang Cangshui, are you an envoy?" ”
Zhang Huang was stunned when he heard this, "Is the prince saying that he really wants to deal with the people on the charge of traitors?" ”
Wu Zheng was noncommittal, turned his back, and left.
Zhang Huangyan just wanted to catch up, but he heard Wu Zheng's voice, "The people gathered in the audience are far more than 10,000 people, who can tell in the end, who killed Chen Hongfan?" Brother Xuan, you...... Too much to worry about! ”
