Crunch... In Beijing's Shuntianfu City, in a large prison overseen by the Prison Department of Beijing Lu Ti Point, the door of a cell was gently opened.
The two people curled up in the cell were suddenly startled. They looked like two frightened little animals. They looked at the door in fear, not knowing who they saw, and they actually started to tremble at the same time.
The two people imprisoned here are naturally Cai Jing and Liu Yanjun. Most of the reputable people caught in Beijing Jilu were thrown into this prison. Although the anti-corruption campaign on the Hebei Road side was already in full swing, heads were falling off the floor, and hundreds of thousands of kilo of grain had been collected to redeem lives. But on the Jilu side of Beijing, there have been no large-scale executions.
The reason why there was no mass killing was mainly due to judicial difficulties... It is true that Zhao Kai was a tyrant, but he was a tyrant who acted reasonably and legally and would not kill people indiscriminately.
Those who were hacked to death on Hebei Road were either "rebels" or "rebels." They were originally officials and gentry of the Song Dynasty. They betrayed their country and surrendered to the enemy. They became fake officials and held fake positions. They helped the Jin people to kill the anti-Jin people and they deserved to die.
But these wealthy families on Yanjing Road are not from the Song Dynasty, and they never have been!
Even after the Song Dynasty bought back Yanjing and its surrounding areas, until the Xuanhe disaster, they were not Song people.
Because when the Jin Dynasty delivered Yanjing and six nearby states to the Song Dynasty, according to the previous agreement, the Song Dynasty was required to return the households outside Songting and Yuguan to the Jin Dynasty. On this basis, the Song Dynasty was required to hand over the eight thousand troops of Guo Pharmacist. household. The Song Dynasty proposed that the Yan people return to the Jin Dynasty instead of the Changsheng Army... Later, Zhang Jue of Pingzhou rebelled against the Jin Dynasty, which was also related to the Jin people's forced removal of the Yan people out of the customs.
Although most of the Yan people were not captured by the Jin people and sent to Liaodong, this agreement was enough to become a talisman for Yan families such as Yutian Han, Zhenzhou Zhao, and Yanjing Liu. As for the Ma family of Medical Wu Lushan (one of the four major Han families in the Liao Kingdom), they have lived in Liaodong for a long time. According to the covenant reached between the Song and Jin Dynasties, they were originally Jin people.
Since they are Jin people, the charges of "treason" and "treason" cannot be justified.
If there is anyone who is the undisputed Song Dynasty person on Beijing Ji Road, it is the group of Chang Shengjun!
In addition, there are no anti-Jin patriots to kill on Beijing Ji Road.
The Yan people didn't love the Song Dynasty that much. Before Xuanhe's Northern Expedition, they had been Liao people for two hundred years and were already used to it. The Song army suddenly attacked treacherously, killing many people and turning many places in Yan's land into white ground. Later, when he couldn't figure it out, he invited the murderous Jin soldiers to help him fight!
Later, in order to protect the Changsheng Army, many Yan people were sold to the Jin people... and the Changsheng Army later betrayed the Song Dynasty and became the leader of the Jin people!
Under this series of tricks, even if the Yan people missed the Liao Dynasty, they would not miss the Song Dynasty. Who would fight against the Jin Dynasty for the sake of the Song Dynasty?
Since there are no anti-Jin patriots, there are no criminals who kill anti-Jin patriots.
Moreover, the powerful people in Yan were not scholar-officials. They were also warrior-officials and would not object to linking military service with land.
Although this group of people was very annoyed with the Song Dynasty, it did not mean that they were unwilling to send people to join Zhao Kai's army-according to the rules of the Northern Song Dynasty's military system, a utility man could protect one hundred acres (calculated as middle field) of Yongye Field.
Therefore, as long as these powerful people from Yan land send some of their children to join the Song army and serve as useful people, they can keep their land.
In addition, the Kingdom of Jin once moved its capital to Daxing Prefecture (now Shuntian Prefecture), and occupied a large amount of land to house Meng'an Mouke, who was directly under the Marshal's Mansion, so the land that was still in the hands of the Yandi tycoons was not There are many, and they are all in the corners of the land. There was no need to confiscate them all. Zhao Kai's Beijing Road Camp Field Envoy had collected enough land for 20 military mansions.
Due to the above reasons, although Zhao Kai knew that Yan Di was unreliable, he had no reason to go on a killing spree... and he was not willing to kill randomly.
But Zhao Kai also has his "saucy operation". He doesn't kill people randomly, but he can take hostages!
The reason why he held hostages was that he was suspected of murdering the imperial official Guo Yaoshi!
Although Pharmacist Guo was not a thing, Pharmacist Guo had surrendered to the Song Dynasty and was granted an official position, so it was a sin to kill Pharmacist Guo.
However, there were not many people actually involved in this matter. There were only two masterminds, Cai Jing and Liu Yanjun, and some small minions... The murder of a figure like Guo Yaoshi could not be discussed in a meeting, otherwise the news would definitely be leaked.
Therefore, Zhao Kai could only send people to "invite" the powerful family heads or seniors of Yanyun families to assist in the investigation under the pretext of suspicion.
If those powerful people resisted, then Zhao Kai would have reason to kill people... Some people did resist, broke a few forts, and then they all became honest! They all handed over their respective family heads or elders, and these people are now imprisoned in the prison where Cai Jing and Liu Yanjun are.
Seeing more and more people coming in, Cai Jing and Liu Yanjun felt relieved... The law does not punish the public!
Zhao Kai could still kill so many people?
The two of them had considered it privately and felt that it was still possible for Zhao Kai to spare their lives. After all, they are sincerely loyal to each other. If you really want to kill them, won't you be afraid of chilling people's hearts?
As for the Ever-Victorious Goddess, she is already a woman in her thirties, and she doesn’t even have a son and a half to dote on. Zhao Kai shouldn't kill people randomly just for her...
In addition, both of them have a way to survive. Liu Yanjun's family has found a way to Yelu Yuliyan... This is Zhao Kai's "granddaughter"!
Cai Jing asked someone to find Lu Yihao to save his life!
Even if you lose everything, you still have to save your life!
But for two or three months in a row, neither of them got any accurate information... Was their life saved? Today, there seems to be some movement!
...
The person who strode into the prison cell was Guo Tiannu!
In addition to her mourning clothes, she had put on a military uniform, with a red scarf and red robe, a long sword hanging from her waist, and a cloak that could be used to protect her from wind and rain when marching. She looked particularly heroic.
Dong Luohan, the leader of Guo Yaoshi's personal soldiers, followed closely behind her with several red scarf soldiers. After entering the door, the four red scarf soldiers came up in groups of two and grabbed Cai Jing and Liu Yanjun and carried them to Guo Tiannu.
The two of them knew that something was wrong, and tears fell down at the same time. Liu Yanjun even begged: "Goddess Ever Victory, Liu deserves to die! But the mastermind behind the murder of your father is Cai Jing! I beg you, Goddess Ever Victory, to give Liu a way to live." ...Everyone in the Liu family in Yanjing is willing to follow the lead of the Heavenly Lady!"
Cai Jing, on the other hand, was crying like a man in tears and was reduced to a puddle. He is really the mastermind! The evidence is conclusive and there is no way to deny it. It seems that he is dead.
Guo Tiannv smiled and said: "Master Liu (Liu Yanjun was also a military envoy in the Liao Kingdom) has misunderstood. It is really not us who want to kill you and Commander Cai... How can the official kill a female prostitute after listening to me?" People like you?"
This still needs to be killed!
This frightened Liu Yanjun and Cai Jing to death. Liu Yanjun was speechless, but Cai Jing shouted hoarsely: "I am a civil servant, I am a civil servant, you can't kill me...I want to see you" Official!"
Guo Tiannv smiled and said: "I'm going to die, why should I meet an official? Take him away!"
...
What Liu Yanjun and Cai Jing were going to was not "Caishikou" or "Xisi Archway". The current Beijing city was still an old city left over from the Liao Kingdom, and there were no good places to behead people like these two.
And they didn’t go to the execution ground to be stabbed, but to sacrifice the flag!
It turns out that today is a good day for Zhao Kai to lead his army to the east to conquer Shanhaikou... Today is August 8, the seventh year of Hongwu in the Song Dynasty!
On this day, a person is decapitated with a knife, and he might be able to get a vote in the next life!
Outside the city of Shuntian Prefecture, the seven armies and fourteen divisions of the Red Turban Song Army, as well as a total of thirty generals' heavy supplies sent by fifty-five military offices in Hebei and Yanjing, have been lined up neatly. The phalanx covered the wilderness east of the Gaoliang River!
Two hundred thousand officers and soldiers, all with rolled armor and weapons, wearing red scarves and red clothes, stood upright!
The 200,000 fierce warriors were all silent. Just such discipline alone makes people feel murderous!
The timing, location, and people are all nonsense in front of the 200,000 fierce warriors here!
And the 200,000 tiger soldiers here are only one-third of the total strength of the Red Turban Song Army!
Although the Song Dynasty before the Xuanhe War claimed to have 800,000 forbidden troops, the number of real soldiers that could be considered soldiers was 50,000, which was as high as the sky... and they were scattered everywhere, so I can't defeat the golden thief.
But today in the Northern Song Dynasty, 600,000 tigers and tigers are real!
And what supports these 600,000 tiger warriors is more than 100 million acres of cultivated land in the northern part of the Central Plains... This is Zhao Kai's timing, location, and people!
The sound of horse hooves sounded in the distance, and dozens of horses were seen galloping towards them. The first one was Guo Tiannu. The red scarf cavalry behind them held two ashen-faced figures wearing prison uniforms, Cai Jing and Liu Yanjun.
Guo Tiannu led the two of them to a huge wooden platform and threw them off the horse. Then the executioner immediately came forward and carried the two of them onto the platform.
After going up, the two of them discovered that there were still many people standing on the high platform. They were all elderly men. Needless to say, they were all "hostages" of the Yanyun families. These old men all looked at the two newcomers with sympathetic eyes.
Is this a queue to behead?
Cai Jing and Liu Yanjun were still thinking about "good things". If they came late, would they be killed last?
Unfortunately, they were wrong! They cut in line today, kill them first! Don't kill others... Zhao Kai will kill chickens to scare monkeys today! The two of them are the chicken, and the others are the monkeys.
Killing them was just to warn Yan Yunhaoqiang to be more honest!
Don't cause trouble during the Eastern Expedition. Be honest and be honest in the long run. Otherwise, like these two "chickens", the "chicken's head" will fall to the ground and you will die!
The two traitors were escorted to the high platform in this way, and then there was no unnecessary procedure. They just blasted a cannon, raised the knife, and their heads fell to the ground!
