    At Caishikou in the capital, a row of prisoners knelt on the ground. Beside the prisoners, an executioner wearing red clothes, a red scarf on his head, and holding a sword with a ghost head was waiting quietly.

    "That person is Li Gao, the commander-in-chief of the South Route Army. The one who kills good people and takes credit. He is so audacious that he killed thousands of people in a small town overnight. A thousand cuts is not an exaggeration.  , Lingchi should be sentenced to death, it really makes him easier to kill him with one sword."

    "Isn't that right? Such a dog officer should be killed. Fortunately, I originally thought he was a hero and could kill Tatars. I didn't expect that he turned out to be such a person and should be killed!"

    "By killing the three tribes, it is an advantage for him. It is because of your mercy. Otherwise, the nine tribes should be killed."

    ""

    Before the lunch market, countless people had gathered here at Caishikou to watch the excitement. Emperor Hongzhi rarely used capital punishment since he came to the throne, and few people were beheaded at Caishikou.

    Even in the last case of theft of official warehouses, except for a very small number of people who were the leaders, most of the people involved were not sentenced to death. They were basically exiled for three thousand miles. Emperor Hongzhi was considered very  of generosity and kindness.

    But this time, Emperor Hongzhi had murderous intentions and wanted to kill people, not just one or two, but in batches, and the first one to start was Li Gao.

    As the commander-in-chief of the Southern Route Army, Li Gao committed many crimes such as withholding military pay, reselling military supplies, using domestic slaves for personal use, and so on. What is more serious is that he also killed good people and took credit.

    Someone pretended to be Tatars and massacred thousands of people in a small town overnight, and then disguised these thousands of people as Tatars to defraud huge rewards.

    "The crime of killing good people and taking credit for it, and killing thousands of people, was too serious, and it was enough to punish the nine tribes. However, Emperor Hongzhi did not involve too much, and only ordered the execution of three tribes.

    At this time, there were dozens of people from the three clans of Li Gao's family. They were all wearing prison clothes, with disheveled hair. The women were crying, and the men all had pale faces and dull eyes.

    ??Especially Li Gao, who had just been conferred the title of Bo Bo not long ago and received a promotion. He was very successful. But who knew that in the blink of an eye, he would not be happy for a few days, but he would immediately become a prisoner, and he would also be punished by the three clans.

    Life is like a play, and the changes are nothing more than that.

    "Dog officer~"

    I don¡¯t know who threw a rotten egg at Li Gao. Immediately, the people watching around me began to use the things in their hands to express their dissatisfaction.

    Rotten eggs, stones, rotten vegetables, rotten radishes, smelly salted fish, etc., all kinds of things kept coming at Li Gao, making him extremely embarrassed, but he couldn't hide.

    Now that he could end it with one blow, he felt lucky. With his crime, even betraying Ling Chi was nothing more than a crime.

    On the other side, on the supervising stage, the people responsible for supervising the beheadings were Li Dongyang and Zhang Mao. At this time, both of them had expressionless faces and had no intention of stopping the angry people from throwing things to vent their anger.

    Li Gao really deserves to die. Even if he died ten thousand times, it would not be enough. Someone would throw something at him and then give him a quick blow, which would be an advantage for him.

    "When the time comes~"

    "Behead!"

    Soon, it was three quarters to noon, and Li Dongyang coldly threw down the token.

    The executioners picked up a bowl of wine one after another, took a swig, and sprayed it on the ghost-headed knife. Then they took off the tag on the prisoner's back, raised the knife and dropped it. Dozens of people fell to the ground, and blood flowed from the scene.

    "Okay~"

    "Good kill."

    The people eating melons immediately applauded, which was really satisfying.

    The next day, it was still Caishikou.

    There were dozens of people again, this time the three members of the Liu Yu family of the East Route Army. Liu Yu also committed many crimes. In addition to not killing good people and taking credit, he also set up private horse markets, private slave markets, and collusion between officials and businessmen.  , Selling goods to the grasslands was strictly prohibited by the imperial court.

    Any one of them is enough to make someone¡¯s head fall to the ground. All crimes added together, Emperor Hongzhi also directly punished him from the three tribes.

    On the third day, it was still here in Caishikou. This time there were more people, hundreds of people. Among them were officials ranging from the minister of household affairs and the commander-in-chief of the border army to the officials responsible for supervising the manufacture of ordnance.

    These people were convicted of corruption, bribery, military pay, misappropriation of public funds and many other crimes. They were all sentenced to death by Emperor Hongzhi and executed together.

    Hundreds of people, hundreds of heads fell to the ground, the entire Caishikou place was filled with a strong smell of blood, and the soil under the Caishikou guillotine turned red and??, too much blood seeped into it.

    On the fourth day, more people were executed on this day, thousands of them.

    Most of the people executed in this batch were businessmen. Some businessmen were just reselling military supplies, and their crimes were relatively minor. Therefore, Emperor Hongzhi only executed executions and ransacked their homes.

    Some merchants, such as the Shanxi merchants who were found out this time, not only resold military supplies, but also colluded with the border troops to sell ironware, salt, tea, grain, etc. that were strictly prohibited by the imperial court to the grassland Tatars.

    What is even more despicable is that some of these Shanxi merchants collaborated with the enemy and treason, spied on and sold military information to the grassland Tatars, and informed the grassland Tatars.

    Of course, it¡¯s not just this time. In the past, when the Tatars went south, these Shanxi merchants also made a lot of money.

    While informing the Tatars, they also did business with the Tatars. The gold, silver, jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings, etc. robbed by the Tatars basically came into their hands, in exchange for food, iron tools, intelligence, etc. in their hands.

    It can be said that in the past, the Tatars were able to go south repeatedly and succeeded every time. One of the important reasons was that these Shanxi merchants were treasonous and full of Tatar insiders. Sometimes they even directly helped the Tatars bribe the border troops and provided money to the Tatars.  Zi opened the country's gates and defenses, and let the Tatars in and plunder wantonly.

    When these things were found out, Emperor Hongzhi was furious and directly sentenced these Shanxi merchants for collaborating with the enemy and treason.  The guillotine.

    Thousands of heads fell to the ground, and the entire Caishikou area was filled with rivers of blood. The strong smell of blood lingered for a long time, so that even the people who were eating melons were afraid to come and watch the fun. Too many people were killed.

    "However, this is not over yet, and Emperor Hongzhi's anger has not yet extinguished.

    Throughout the government and the public, all the ministers were silent at this time, and everyone was afraid of being killed. No one thought that the good old Emperor Hongzhi, a good old man who could even forgive his own mortal enemy, would go on a killing spree.

    In just a few days, thousands of people had been killed. Half of the officials from the Ministry of Hubu and the Ministry of War were killed. In addition, Zhou Jing, the Minister of the Ministry of Hubu, and Ma Wensheng, the Minister of the Ministry of War, were also imprisoned in the sky prison.  , so neither the Ministry of Household Affairs nor the Ministry of War can operate normally.

    If many officials were left in the past, at most they would be exiled to Yunguang. Even if someone speaks for you, you can retire on your own initiative and go back to your hometown to enjoy a happy old age.

    But this time it was different. The murderous Emperor Hongzhi, as long as he was implicated in the case, would be killed at the least, or his house would be ransacked, and the most serious would be the extermination of three clans.

    Above the court, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, and Xie Qian also tried to remonstrate with Emperor Hongzhi, but even Liu Jian, the chief minister of the cabinet, was severely reprimanded by Emperor Hongzhi because Liu Yu was Liu Jian's fellow villager. After investigation by factory guards,  Liu Yu and Liu Jian are very important. They have given Liu Jian many gifts in the past. Liu Jian strongly recommended Liu Yu to be the trilateral president.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: The case is implicated in a wide range of things, even Liu Jian, the chief assistant of the cabinet, was implicated.

    "If Emperor Hongzhi hadn't considered that Liu Jian was his teacher and had assisted him for many years, and had nothing to do with the case, Emperor Hongzhi might even have killed Liu Jian.

    The ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government are all unclean, at least they are similar to Liu Jian. It is an unspoken rule that everyone in the officialdom has accepted Xiao Jing, who is a subordinate official.

    It would be fine in normal times, but at this time, everyone is in danger and no one dares to mess with Emperor Hongzhi at this time. But not everyone is like Liu Jian and is Liu Jian¡¯s teacher. Emperor Hongzhi will still read  Affection.

    Several ignorant censors advised Emperor Hongzhi, thinking that Emperor Hongzhi killed too much and harmed the peace of the world. They even thought that Emperor Hongzhi would listen to them like before, so they scolded Emperor Hongzhi severely.  .

    Emperor Hongzhi decisively fulfilled them and asked the factory guards to conduct a casual investigation. They easily found several crimes and sent them to the guillotine at Caishikou.

    From then on, no one dared to say a word. Everyone was on tenterhooks, for fear that they would be implicated. No one dared to speak out. They could only watch the heads of people rolling in, constantly worried.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
