Chapter 5 Heads Rolling
"Beat, kill these rebellious traitors..."
"Bow them to death, beat them to death..."
"These officials are usually arrogant and full of benevolence, righteousness and morality. They are all lying. These miscellaneous things are the worms of our Tianyao Kingdom. Men and thieves and prostitutes do all kinds of evil, and they actually collude with the Manchus to assassinate the emperor..."
"Yes, if the emperor hadn't been blessed by immortals, our Tianyao Kingdom would not know what we would be tortured by these people..."
"Bow them to death..."
"There are a few good people in these Shangshu, minister, and senior officials of the first and second rank in the court..."
"beat……"
The people on both sides of the street were filled with indignation and crowded with people. Looking at the prison cart escorted over, all kinds of rotten vegetables, rotten eggs, soil gravel, and even the dried dog shit and pig manure were smashed towards the people in the prison cart.
The prison van was very long, with hundreds of prison vans and a large group of people. The people in the prison van were wearing prison clothes and disheveled hair, like defeated roosters, with their faces as ashes. Many people were covered in scars and had traces of being severely tortured. Those stones and smelly eggs flew over and smashed many people to their heads and blood and covered in filth. Some people were even killed by the people along the way, but they were put in the prison van and could not move. They would inevitably go to the guillotine for a while.
When the prison train arrived at the execution ground, there were many people around the execution ground, inside and outside.
The officials who were executed, the yamen runners who maintained order, and the guards guarding the execution ground made the atmosphere here particularly cold and solemn.
"The criminal Zhao Yufu, former Minister of Rites, was sentenced to the clan's death. The Zhao Yufu clan has a total of 396 people. Please verify the true nature..."
The guards who escorted the criminals and the officials who were in charge of the prisoners handed over the criminals in public and found out that they were the right person. The people in the prison car began to be pushed onto the execution ground in rows, went to the guillotine, and knelt on the ground. With the cold "immediate execution" order of the prison officials, the executioners' sharp ghost-headed swords were cut down. With a crackling sound, the heads that once showed their power in the imperial capital rolled down to the ground. All fame, wealth and glory, and authority turned into clouds.
For a moment, blood was smearing on the execution ground, but the people in the onlookers began to cheer when their heads rolled down.
There were still countless prisoners who could only take turns to go up one by one. Some prisoners had been beaten to death in the prison car before they came on the field, and at this time they had to be dragged up and chopped off their heads.
Some prisoners had their legs weak before they were dragged out of the prison car, and they were all in the flow of shit and pee, crying for their parents.
"I have no treason... I have no treason... My father's treason has nothing to do with me... I don't know anything..." The young master who was dragged off from the prison car shouted and struggled in vain, but in the end, the messenger pressed the guillotine, stuck the master's neck with a plyboard, twisted his hands, stepped on his legs, and cut it down with a knife. The head with wide eyes rolled down to the ground with unwillingness and fear.
...
There are four such execution grounds in the Imperial Capital, one in the city and three outside the city. From the seventh day after the Emperor of Tianyao Kingdom Ye Zitian returned to the Imperial Capital, these execution grounds have never stopped. They are killing people every day, killing one by one.
The rebellious parties in the court who participated in the rebellion were confiscated and exterminated their clans. The civil and military officials of the court were almost half of them all at once. More than 100,000 wealthy officials and nobles in the imperial capital were killed, and their heads were rolling and blood flowed into a river.
This is the one who died in the imperial capital, and there are more people involved in the rebels involved in that place.
His Majesty the Emperor of Tianyao Kingdom, Ye Zitian, while purged the rebels, issued an edict directly. Tianyao Kingdom reopened the maritime ban and confined the ports of seven coastal cities to conduct maritime trade. All the people of Tianyao Kingdom, whether officials or gentry, can buy ships to trade in seas, and everyone can hunt pirates, and they will be guilty of merit.
Once the sea ban was opened, the world was shaken.
You should know that although Tianyao Kingdom had a sea ban before, the sea ban was basically just a cover. The folk boards were not allowed to go out to sea. Those who truly monopolized overseas trade were all the dignitaries and big families in the court. It was the families and party members who monopolized overseas trade who were preventing Tianyao Kingdom from opening the sea ban for various reasons, and wanted to benefit from it alone.
This time, the powerful and powerful courts who opposed the opening of the sea ban were all beaten to rebel because of their participation in the plot of chaos, and were killed by Ye Zitian. This time, the court ordered the opening of the sea ban. Whether in the court or the local government, there was no sound to block it. If you want to speak, you must consider whether you would be beaten to rebel and beheaded all over the family.
The benefits of maritime trade are more than ten times. Before, the people could only envy them. Seeing the dignitaries and wealthy families monopolizing maritime trade and making a fortune, the people secretly complained. Now, His Majesty the Emperor dealt with the unrest and unrestrained, and everyone has the opportunity to make a fortune. They all praise His Majesty the Emperor for his wise and decisiveness and awesomeness.
While cutting the heads of Zhao Yuheng, the Minister of Rites in the execution ground in the city, in a restaurant more than 300 meters away from the execution ground, two diners sitting by the window were watching the situation on the execution ground, drinking wine while whispering something...
The two diners were dressed as merchants, one was fat and the other was thin, each of whom was thirty or forty years old, dressed decently, and there was no abnormality. They asked for a private room on the top floor of the restaurant, and others would not be suspicious.
These days, as the news of the reopening of the maritime ban spread, all the wealthy merchants in Tianyao who had ideas sent people to the Imperial Capital to inquire about the news and contact each other. Although the Imperial Capital is now killing, there are more people from all kinds of people coming and going to the Imperial Capital, and there are no depressed appearance on the market.
People like these two businessmen who were drinking in the private room were everywhere in the imperial capital.
"What a pity, Zhao Yufu's two daughters were both born with a beautiful and beautiful country. I had seen them once in Linghua Palace before, but I didn't expect that I could not escape death this time. I had known that I would have taken them into a furnace cauldron... "The fat businessman squinted his eyes and looked at the distance with regret.
The two of them spoke very quietly, not afraid of being heard by people outside. Although they were sitting in the private room, they could not hide any movement from outside.
"Senior Brother Gu, you still have the heart to think about this. This time, the matter in the Imperial Capital City was a failure. Even a master like Uncle Yu was seriously injured. Now the master sect is furious and is asking me about the news. I wonder how you are asking about it. Where did that cultivator who was worshipped by Ye Zitian as the Immortal Master of the Protection of the Country emerge? He dared to ruin the good things of our Yuntian Sect?"
"I naturally found out these days. The Immortal Master of the Protecting Kingdom that Ye Zitian found has a Taoist name called Baibianxingjun..."
"A Variety Star Lord?"
"Yes, according to the news from the palace, Ye Zitian called that person like that..."
"Do you know the origin of the ever-changing Star Lord?"
"I don't know. It may be a casual cultivator who is hiding where he has been practicing for many years. He suddenly appears. However, judging from the situation where he injured Uncle Yu that day, he may have already advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm and is a powerful man in the Nascent Soul Realm. It may not be that easy for the master to deal with him, and he has to make a long-term plan..."
"Nasty Soul Realm..." Another person took a breath of air, "Are you right?"
"At least 70% sure!"
"Where is that ever-changing star king now?"
"Ye Zitian regards the Variety Star Lord as his life-saving benefactor and greatest backer, and is extremely respectful. He greets you every day and sets up a large yard in the palace to let Variety Star Lord live there. He even puts several princesses in the palace next to the Variety Star Lord as maids for him to call him, and several princes are also waiting by the Variety Star Lord for advice..."
"What's going on in Ye Zitian recently?"
"I am already mobilizing troops, horses, food and grass, and preparing to send troops to the Qizhou of Feiyun to attack Zhou Xiao and the barbarians. At that time, I guess that ever-changing star king will act with Ye Zitian..."
"Okay, just report me to the master. Let the master decide what to do..."
"Um!"
...
Just as the two were muttering in the private room, they didn't know that on the beam above their heads, a little man who was only a few inches tall was swinging his feet on the beam, and at the same time, he had interest in hearing the conversation between the two in the private room.
