"Good kill, good kill."
"These bullies and corrupt officials should be dealt with like this."
"His Majesty the Emperor, finally someone has made the decision for us, ordinary people."
Outside the Datong campus, countless people surrounded the area.
Something big is happening here today. All corrupt officials, as well as those bullies, landlords and evil gentry, will be publicly executed here.
His Majesty the Emperor has opened the mouth of Chrysostom, and the entire military camp will be opened to the public for the common people to observe the execution.
After hearing the news, the people in the city came on their own without any need for government organization.
When they saw the high and mighty old men in the past, now wailing and begging for mercy on the Xingtai stage, rolling on the ground, they were extremely excited.
Seeing these bully landlords who usually bully and oppress them, I wish I could go up and kill them with my own hands.
The person responsible for supervising the execution this time was an aide to the Datong Prefecture named Zhang Shan.
It can be said that this person is as his name suggests, and he deserves a good word. He is highly respected in the local area and never bullies the people.
He did not join in with those corrupt officials. Instead, he did good deeds, helped poor people, and repeatedly used his private money to help refugees.
In this era of cannibalism and officials at all levels endlessly exploiting and oppressing the common people, it is really rare to be able to do this.
He was born into a military family, and his family had been border guards for generations.
It is not easy to be admitted as a scholar in your twenties with this background. Although there are many scholars, it is not so easy.
This not only requires strong financial support, but also personal talent and understanding.
Similarly, it was because his family had an official position in a hundred households that he managed to become the chief staff officer of the prefect through money and connections.
After Zhu Youxiao learned about this person, he also lamented that he had never expected that there could be someone with such outstanding character and character in such a dirty place.
Although he is an old scholar who could not even pass the imperial examination, his character and public spirit are countless times better than those of those high school scholars in the capital.
Immediately, a decree was made to temporarily appoint him as the prefect. If his ability can reach the passing level, he will definitely be reused in the future.
However, with this person's character and personality, he can gain a foothold in the wolf-like government office of Datong. At least this way of dealing with people and observing their emotions is already good.
What Zhu Youxiao wants to test is his ability to govern and manage people's livelihood.
At this time, Zhang Shan was sitting in the position of the supervising officer with a hint of disbelief.
He was actually appointed as the prefect of Datong by the emperor himself. This was something he had never dared to think about. It was like smoke was rising from his ancestral graves.
Before he could recover, Xiaoqi, a member of the Imperial Guard, reminded him:
"Prefect, it's time for the next batch." (an elegant title for the prefect)
Zhang Shan stirred up his energy and his consciousness was pulled back to the real world.
Watching these colleagues who used to chat, laugh and drink with him, as well as the officials and gentry he could not afford to offend, died tragically in front of him one by one.
Especially since he had given the order himself and watched the whole process, his heart was motionless and he had no thoughts, which was naturally a lie.
He sighed secretly in his heart, they all deserved this. They usually acted domineeringly, so they deserved this end.
Thinking of this, he even threw the token with much more strength.
As soon as the token touched the ground, the flagman shouted loudly:
"Start the execution."
The sergeants quickly came up with buckets of boiling water and poured it directly on those who had been stripped naked, even without underwear.
The punishment of skinning is like this, just like killing a pig or a sheep. You must first scald it with boiling water to make the skin soft and open, so that it can be peeled easily.
(……I don’t dare to write anymore, I understand everything I know)

The school grounds were in full swing, and at this time, Zhu Youxiao finally had some free time and walked out of the government office for the first time and came to Dai Fan's palace.
"On behalf of the vassal Zhu Naijun, I respectfully welcome His Majesty the Emperor. May His Majesty the Emperor greet you."
Looking at this vassal who was three generations senior to him, Zhu Youxiao also felt depressed.
There seems to be a pattern throughout the dynasties. In the clan, the emperor's branch is always the youngest.
The same is true for Zhu Youxiao at this time. Among the dozens of sects of the Zhu family, not to mention those who are lower than him, there are only a few who are of the same generation.
This Zhu Naijun is so many generations ahead of him that Zhu Youxiao doesn't even know what to call him.
Even if he knew it, he couldn't say it out loud. If he were to count, he already had two and five servers, so what else could he call it?
"Please rise on behalf of the king. According to family etiquette, I should salute you first."
As he spoke, he pretended to be anxious and quickly stepped forward to help him up.
Although it was a bit disgusting, Zhu Youxiao still had to do his best to show off.
Although I came here to ask for punishment, I couldn't reach out to hit the smiling man.
Upon hearing the emperor's words, Dai Wang ignored Zhu Youxiao's support and quickly knelt down and said:
"Your Majesty is serious. Your Majesty is the emperor of our Ming Dynasty. How can an emperor salute me? I would never dare."
It all shows that all the late sect kings are as stupid as pigs and dogs, but Zhu Youxiao has also been in contact with many sects and had many dealings with them.
This is not the case. On the contrary, these sects and vassals are very aware of current affairs, at least in terms of etiquette and rules, so that you can't find fault with them.
However, selfishness is indeed important, but selfishness is basically something everyone has.
It's just that these sects and vassals had special status, and the Ming Dynasty government treated them too favorably. They had no contribution to the Ming Dynasty's demise, and it was infinitely magnified.
Zhu Youxiao didn't talk nonsense with him, and walked directly into Dai Wang's palace after a few words of greeting.
Zhu Youxiao had already visited this palace in later generations, but it was a modern reconstruction, although it still gave him a big shock.
But after all, there is something missing, and it is far inferior to this real ancient city built during the Hongwu period.
"Datong is a border town, bordering on the grassland. It is the place where our Ming Dynasty and Mongolia have been at war all year round. It's hard for the king to live here."
Zhu Youxiao sat in the seat that originally belonged to King Dai in Jiaotai Hall. After a brief look, he started to quarrel with King Dai.
The king standing below looked flattered when he heard the emperor's words of condolences.
"I feel ashamed. Although wars break out in Datong all year round, my family can sit back and relax here without being affected."
"Your Majesty has many things to do. In recent years, there have been many troubles. Your Majesty can still think of me. I am very grateful."
"I'm not very pleased that King Dai can think this way. If all the sects of my Zhu family were as sensible as King Dai, I would be able to save a lot of worry."
"It's just that I issued a decree a few days ago, hoping that all the clans in the world can contribute to the current situation of the country."
"Each family contributes some money and food to replenish the national treasury for the use of the court, but they have fulfilled the decree on behalf of the king, so why don't they show any intention of taking action?"
As soon as he heard this, Zhu Naijun knew that something bad was going on, and he would have to be skinned today.
