The screams in the temporary camp beside the moat continued until midnight.
When the screams gradually subsided.
The entire Xuanping Gate gradually fell into a dead silence.
Inside the large tent in the center of the temporary camp.
An oil lamp dispersed the darkness of the night, and also illuminated Xu Yi's tired eyes.
He slowly picked up the pen and wrote down a long string of numbers on the rice paper covered with writing.
Xu Yi threw away the langhao pen in his hand and leaned back on the chair as if exhausted.
His brows wrinkled up at some point.
Nearly a hundred small forces were uprooted by him, and the gold and silver property confiscated was no less than some of the trading houses that were seized by him.
Even among the more than 20 commercial banks, it is still at the forefront.
What a terrifying number this is?
How much blood and tears are hidden under these cold numbers?
Xu Yi stood up slowly, his frown slowly subsided.
What replaced it was endless coldness.
Step out of the big tent.
After leaving the shelter of charcoal fire.
A blast of dry and cold air hit Xu Yi.
"Sixth Master." Zhao Shou greeted softly at the entrance of the tent.
He immediately took off the cotton cloak behind him.
Xu Yi waved his hand slightly, indicating that this was not necessary.
Then he slowly walked towards the high slope of Bairili.
Seeing this, Zhao Shou hurriedly summoned more than ten able-bodied government officials, lit torches, and quickly followed.
On a high slope in daylight.
Xu Yi slowly sat on the floor and looked down calmly.
Below, there was darkness without a trace of light.
It is precisely in this darkness that there are tens of thousands of people.
However, those people at this time were called disaster victims.
Xu Yi watched quietly for an unknown amount of time.
No one knows what is in his heart, and no one knows what is in his heart.
I do not know how long it has been.
The eastern sky quietly bloomed with an extraordinarily beautiful glow.
It doesn't take a while.
The glow became more and more numerous.
From one, to ten thousand, and finally, there are countless rays of glow.
Countless rays of light rush into the darkness like soldiers fearless of death.
Gradually, the darkness was completely driven away by the glow.
"Dawn has broken." A smile suddenly bloomed on Xu Yi's face, which was almost numb from the cold.
The darkness was driven away, and dawn finally dawned in the sky.
Xu Yi raised his numb hands and rubbed his stiff cheeks.
He stood up and said calmly: "It's time to see blood."
The words are over.
Xu Yi issued detailed orders in an orderly manner.
That command was so precise that it would make the back of any interested person feel wet.
With Xu Yi issuing precise orders one after another.
The temporary camp outside the moat gradually revived.
More than five hundred soldiers and government officials escorted the tortured thieves out of the temporary camp one after another.
Fang Yi walked out of the camp.
With no one on site to command, more than 500 soldiers and government officials walked toward their respective destinations with goals in mind.
As more than 500 soldiers and government officials walked further and further away.
Along the way, countless gathering places for victims, large and small, gradually came to life.
Outside Xuanping Gate, there were voices everywhere, shouting, crying and wailing.
Inside, there was the thief's faint cry for mercy.
A log pile at Jiuli.
A woman in ragged clothes and unkempt hair slowly crawled out of a small, dilapidated tent.
I saw the government officials and soldiers escorting hundreds of thieves walking towards this side.
Wait until you see the thief
Behind the figure of Li Er among the people.
A look of fear flashed in the woman's eyes, and her steps continued to retreat uncontrollably.
After seeing clearly that Li Er's hands were tied and he was being pushed forward, his body was covered with marks from whips.
The fear in his eyes was gradually replaced by excitement.
The eye sockets were filled with water mist at some point.
At this time, the water mist condensed into water droplets, quickly dripping from the corners of his eyes.
"Ah...ah..." The young woman wanted to say something.
But for some reason, when the words came to my lips, I couldn't blurt them out.
The woman's face unconsciously showed anxiety.
After a while.
The woman quickly stood up and got into the tent.
After a while, more than ten ragged women walked out of the small tent.
The face and eyes of the woman who came out were all filled with numbness, without exception.
The woman yelled a few times, then pulled everyone and ran in the direction of the Yamen servant.
After pulling two people at once, it took a full six or seven times.
The woman was standing in the crowd just now, breathing heavily.
In the center of the crowd was a large porridge shed.
The horse yamen servant stands above the porridge shed.
With a proud face, he slowly glanced at the countless victims below.
Below, dozens of thieves were "carefully taught" by soldiers and government officials.
Kneel neatly in a circle.
The people he was facing were clearly the countless victims.
At this time, the soup convoy has not yet arrived.
The place where the large porridge shed is located is already surrounded by water.
Ma Yamen raised his head and glanced at the sky, secretly estimating the time in his heart.
Wait until the time set by Xu Yi is approaching.
Ma Yamen's back instantly straightened up.
He clapped his hands vigorously, and then said loudly: "Fellow fellows! Please be quiet!"
The words are over.
He, who was already attracting much attention, suddenly became even more noticed.
The noise in the crowd subsided layer by layer like waves of wheat blown by the wind.
Ma Yamen looked proud and said loudly: "Fellow fellow villagers! Do you know the person kneeling below?"
This statement is pure nonsense!
The people kneeling below are all causing harm to the thieves around them.
And all the victims who have integrated here have suffered from it.
In an instant.
The noise that had subsided suddenly started again!
And the noise was filled with heart-rending wails. .jjźý.ćőbr>
But the strange thing is that no one dared to step forward to vent.
It can be seen that the shock and fear brought by this group of thieves are so great.
Ma Yamen clapped his hands heavily.
When the palms of his hands were slapping and turned red, the noise was completely stopped.
Ma Yamen composed himself and looked up at the sky again.
Then he said loudly: "The people kneeling below! All of them are thieves who are causing harm to one party!"
"Yesterday! Mr. Jing Zhaoyin personally came out of the city to supervise this matter!"
"After a day and a night of work, we have destroyed nearly a hundred thieves, big and small!"
"Nearly 7,000 thieves were captured! The thieves' leaders! More than 800 leaders!"
"Just now! Lord Jing Zhaoyin has an order! All thieves, leaders, and those who have done all kinds of evil must be escorted to the place where they will cause trouble!"
"In front of so many oppressed fellow villagers! Execute him!"
"This way! Eliminate the hatred in the hearts of all the fathers and fellow villagers!"
The words are over.
Don't wait for the noise below.
Ma Yamen suddenly pulled out his sword and shouted loudly: "Tear off your clothes!"
The words are over.
Dozens of government officials and soldiers,
They all moved and tore off the thief's clothes.
In an instant, the chests of dozens of thieves were all covered with torn whip marks.
In an instant, countless loud curses broke out among the victims.
Finally, thousands of words converge into one good word!
This cheer really comes from the bottom of my heart!
Ma Yamen ordered loudly again: "The first sword! Get ready!"
In an instant, dozens of government officials and soldiers drew out their swords from their waists.
The faces of dozens of thieves, illuminated by dozens of shining waist knives, were instantly paler than before.
But at this moment, no one feels pity.
"First cut! Cut!" Ma Yamen shouted.
Dozens of shining waist knives fell down in response.
The first knife struck the thief directly on the left shoulder.
Limited by the quality of the blade, the blade did not break as expected.
It's just three points into the meat.
In an instant, screams could be heard endlessly.
What's more, he fainted from the pain.
But it doesn't matter whether it's a horse and Yamen servant, or a group of soldiers and Yamen servants.
Nothing unusual about this.
It was as if he had expected this scene.
In other words, it was done on purpose.
Without waiting for Ma Yamen's orders, the soldiers and Yamen in charge of the execution took the water directly from their waists and forcibly woke up the fainting man.
"Prepare the second sword!" Ma Yamen ordered loudly again.
Repeat this several times.
Every time, there will be countless cheers.
When the last knife struck directly at the thief's head.
Nearly half of the blade was broken! But at this moment, the cheers from the victims were louder than many times before.
In order to express their grievances by shouting loudly, nearly half of the victims shouted hoarse.
The young woman in ragged clothes knelt on the ground and looked at the separated head of Li Er.
Looking at Li Er's bulging eye sockets, his eyeballs were wide and white, with a dead expression.
The young woman knelt down and cried bitterly. It was tears of joy!
It is even more unfair to oneself! Crying heartily when a great revenge is avenged.
Behind him, more than ten women with numb expressions fell with their swords along with the soldiers and government officials.
As those dozens of thieves kept wailing in pain! Fainting constantly! Be awakened! Wail! Faint again! Wake up again!
And gradually came to life.
The numb expression softened, and the dull eyes gradually regained their vitality.
The final blow! After the thieves' heads were separated!
The eyes of more than a dozen women suddenly burst into light that they had not seen for a long time.
One by one, they knelt down and cried with joy, or hugged each other and vented their anger loudly.
On a high slope next to the moat.
Xu Yi put his hands behind his back.
He looked at the huge circles below with a smile on his face.
Listening to the deafening tears of joy.
The smile on his lips never faded from beginning to end.
"Is it difficult to calm down? I will break it with my own strength!" Xu Yi chuckled, spreading his arms as if to fully embrace the rising warm sun.
But he ignored that at this time, his back was facing the sun.
...
The drawbridge was lowered again.
Carriages loaded with porridge and rice stepped on the suspension bridge, surrounded by merchants and merchants.
After that.
Countless craftsmen and workshop officials followed closely behind.
When the first carriage slowly walked off the suspension bridge.
I don't know why I stopped on the spot.
"Old Zhao, let's go! Why are you blocking the bridge?" the driver behind him couldn't help but urged.
The coachman, who was called Lao Zhao, pointed forward dumbfounded and did not speak for a long time.
"Hey! I'm talking about you, Old Zhao! Why are you blocking the bridge when you're so good! Don't you worry that if you delay the porridge delivery, my uncle will come to settle the account with you!" The coachman behind him jumped out of the carriage and walked forward muttering.
As soon as Fang walked to the front, his expression was the same as that of Old Zhao.
The victims of the disaster were noisy in the past.
At this moment, there was already a long queue in front of the large porridge shed.
One after another, the victims sat on the ground without fighting or grabbing.
Where can I still see the smoke of gunpowder from the old days?
"This? What a ghost for this bitch! Why is it so quiet today?" The coachman who came after him couldn't help but screamed.
High slope.
Xu Yi chuckled lightly and ordered: "Take some government officials to the suspension bridge. Don't let them block the suspension bridge."
The words are over.
Zhao Shou agreed, quickly rushed down the high slope, ordered all twenty government officials, and rushed towards the suspension bridge whistling.
It doesn't take a while.
The congestion at the suspension bridge was completely cleared.
However, I don't know when, every time a carriage steps off the suspension bridge, there will be a pause for a few breaths.
As a result, today's traffic speed is much slower than in the past.
Hu Yuanchu, who finally got off the suspension bridge, had no time to wait for all the craftsmen to get off the bridge.
After giving a few instructions to the pian beside him.
He quickly ran towards the high slope.
"Sir." Hu Yuanchu breathed heavily and saluted with his hands in hand.
Xu Yi turned around and nodded slightly, then said, "Your burden will be a little heavier today."
Hu Yuanchu's face flashed with joy when he heard this. The heavier the burden, the more trusted and important he is.
Hu Yuanchu naturally understood such a superficial truth.
Xu Yi said calmly: "Today there will be six thousand more capable people, all of whom will be assigned to you."
"In addition, the more than a hundred government officials and the five hundred soldiers guarding Xuanping Gate brought here yesterday will also be assigned to you."
"Before dark today, in addition to the porridge shed mentioned yesterday, a large number of huts need to be built."
With that said, Xu Yi took out a map of Kantu that he had prepared.
He handed it to Hu Yuanchu and asked, "This is the latrine plan. Take a look at it and then tell me whether I can complete it."
"Follow the order!" Hu Yuanchu's face straightened, he took the map and bowed in salute.
Then he quickly opened the Kanyu map and looked at it carefully.
On the Nakan map, in addition to a large number of huts, there are countless septic tanks.
The overall planning is more comprehensive and the layout is more reasonable than the existing one.
After a while.
Hu Yuanchu put away the map and solemnly bowed his hands and said, "If you ask me back, I will do my best to complete it!"
Xu Yi smiled, walked slowly down the high slope, and said as he walked: "If I can complete this job well, I will add another achievement to my credit book."
Hu Yuanchu looked excited and assured loudly: "Please rest assured, sir, I will do my best! I will not let you down."
...
Beside the moat.
A master and a servant, riding war horses, slowly stepped onto the suspension bridge.
Behind him, more than ten carriages pulling countless gold, silver and jewelry followed silently.
The moment you step across the suspension bridge.
Xu Yi suddenly turned around and glanced at the other side of the moat, which was getting busier.
His expression suddenly became much more relaxed.
"Master Liu, should we go back to Jingzhao Mansion or somewhere else?" Zhao Shou turned around and asked.
Xu Yi turned around and said calmly: "Go back home."
The words are over.
The master and the servant jumped into the city gate on horseback.
...
In the lobby of Jingzhao Mansion.
Although it was already past midnight, everyone was still gathered in the lobby.
Compared with the cheerful and showy atmosphere of the past.
The lobby of Jingzhao Mansion is extremely quiet today.
Nothing else.
Standing on the side above him was an old eunuch with a white face and no beard.
Behind the old eunuch stood several young eunuchs, one of whom held a brocaded wooden plate in his hand.
There was an imperial edict clearly placed on the wooden plate.
Just as the dead silence in the lobby gradually solidified.
Two figures suddenly appeared on the platform outside the lobby.
Zhan Zhu's eyes suddenly paused as he looked outside the lobby.
"Ahem." Zhan Zhu cleared his throat and stepped towards the top position.
Behind him, several eunuchs lined up on the left and right.
Seeing this, all the officials in the lobby were shocked.
What's more, he quietly turned his head and glanced outside the lobby.
As soon as Xu Yifang stepped into the lobby, he couldn't help but pause.
Although I don't understand why Zhan Zhu appears at this time.
There is a bright imperial edict beside him.
But he soon came to his senses and strode forward to greet him.
Zhan Zhu's face suddenly became serious, and he stretched out his hand to respectfully request the imperial edict from the brocade wooden plate.
The unique voice of an elderly male duck boomed in the lobby: "Xu Yi accepts the order."
"I accept the order!" Xu Yi bowed his hands and said loudly.
Listening to the cumbersome and false words from Zhan Zhu's mouth.
An indescribable expression gradually appeared on Xu Yi's face behind his sleeves.
The imperial decree is full of benevolence, justice and morality, and the wording is exquisite throughout.
What it really wants to express is extremely simple.
In short, superficial meaning. It was Emperor Zhengde who expressed great concern for the disaster in Guanzhong.
At the same time, he was extremely dissatisfied with Xu Yi's work efficiency.
Xu Yi was urged to deal with the victims in the north of Chang'an City as quickly as possible and with the highest efficiency.
But if we think of the previous imperial edict, the core meaning of Emperor Zhengde can be easily revealed.
Xu Yi couldn't help but sneer at the corner of his mouth.
He never expected that he was not in a hurry yet, and that more than 20 aristocratic families were not in a panic yet.
Emperor Zhengde became anxious first.
After Zhan Zhu announced the decree.
Xu Yi said loudly: "I accept the order."
The words are over.
He took two steps forward and took the imperial edict from Zhan Zhu.
Zhan Zhu exchanged a few pleasantries and then exited the lobby of Jingzhao Mansion.
Xu Yi walked to the platform, then turned around and strode into the lobby of Jingzhao Mansion.
"Ahem." Xu Yi cleared his throat, drawing everyone's attention back from the content of the imperial edict.
Then he walked towards the top.
Sitting on the Grand Master's chair, he said calmly: "As you all heard just now, His Majesty is particularly dissatisfied with the efficiency of our work."
"I know that you have all been working day and night recently, and you have never had a moment of leisure."
"But after all, there is a shortage of manpower, and the number of victims remains high."
"I have already ordered Imperial Academy Officer Yao Jijiu to go seek help."
"At that time, the pressure on you and me will definitely be relieved a little."
"Therefore, before Yao Jijiu returns, you all need to persist a little longer."
"When this matter is settled, I will definitely ask for credit for everyone one by one."
The words are over.
Xu Yi stood up and saluted.
Then the day's affairs were arranged in an orderly manner.
The inventory of warehouses, the division of labor between the Imperial College students in front of Jingzhao Mansion and the officials of Jingzhao Mansion.
The third squad, the execution room and the punishment department made the final cleansing of more than 20 trading companies.
Procurement and dispatch of disaster relief materials.
All kinds of affairs are handled in every detail.
But for some unknown reason, Xu Yi didn't mention a word about those twenty or so aristocratic families.
It was as if he had completely forgotten about it.

Future updates will be fixed at 0:10 as much as possible.
