At noon on July 28, outside the south gate of Xindu City.
By the end of July, the weather was still as hot as scorching heat. Xindu is located deep in the Hebei Plain, so naturally you can't feel the cool breeze of the ocean. It's a hot day and people are filled with anger. If there is nothing else to do, ordinary people will never go out. Even the most enthusiastic farmer will not go out to the fields at this time.
But today, there was a sea of ??people outside the south gate, shoulder to shoulder.
It¡¯s not for anything else, just killing people.
Originally, the murder should be done at the intersection of the busy city, but there was really no such a big place in the city, so we had to move it outside the city.
In the open space outside the south gate, more than fifty people lined up along a line painted in white, which was quite spectacular. ãá reduce 75z w .co m ãá
These fifty people are the more than fifty officials above the county magistrate level that Tiqi had arrested before. They were all brought here to be beheaded.
It turns out that the officials who committed the crime and Li Tang's spies, more than a thousand people in total, were all going to be executed.
Huang Mingyuan also deliberately pulled these people outside the south gate to be dealt with, and people from aristocratic families also pulled them to watch the execution. When thousands of heads fall to the ground, people from aristocratic families will be scared to death.
Also let them know what the power of Duke Wei is.
But after Li Zixiao found out about this, he dissuaded Huang Mingyuan. It is easy to kill people and to establish authority, but it would be bad if it affects Huang Mingyuan's image.
The image Huang Mingyuan wants to create in front of the people is that of a benevolent king and a holy lord. This time more than a thousand heads fell to the ground. It was not an execution, but a massacre. It was not only the wealthy families but also the people in the city who were frightened.
?? Huang Mingyuan¡¯s evil reputation should only scare the wealthy families, but it should not be known to ordinary people.
It¡¯s not worth losing your reputation because of these people.
Of course people should be killed, but it¡¯s best not to be Huang Mingyuan.
As for intimidating the big families, these fifty people are enough. For aristocratic families, no matter how many ordinary people died, it would not be as shocking as the death of a person with the same background as them. 牺如 xindingdianxsw.com 牺ࣳ 4
Fifty heads are enough to scare them.
This time, Yang Yuanhong, the Minister of Punishment, served as the prison officer. It can be seen that Xingtai attaches great importance to the imprisonment of officials at this level.
Although Yang Yuanhong was born in the Yang family of Hongnong, he has been hated by the wealthy family since his last suggestion, and he wished he could eat his flesh and sleep on his skin.
Yang Yuanhong has offended all the aristocratic families in the world, and he will have no choice but to follow in Huang Mingyuan's footsteps.
The execution venue was already crowded with people.
This is the first time in Xindu City that officials have been executed on a large scale. This should not be a surprise to everyone.
People in Hebei have always had the habit of joining in the fun. In the Battle of Yecheng, Wei Xiaokuan's army and Yuchi Jiong's troops fought fiercely outside the city. The people of Yecheng watched with excitement on the hillside outside the city. There were tens of thousands of people watching the excitement. At first, Yuchi Jiong had the upper hand, so Wei Xiaokuan sent troops to attack the people watching the excitement, creating chaos, causing a chain reaction, and finally defeated Yuchi Jiong.
It can be said that Yecheng(remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
