But in his words, it turned into another story. He also took this opportunity to express his loyalty to the old lady, and his attitude made the old lady very satisfied.
She is currently having a headache about Liu Ziheng's identity. Zhang Yuhang will be used in many places in the future, so she will not be dissatisfied with this grandson-in-law.
Although several recent events had made him suspicious of Zhang Yuhang, at this juncture, she still wanted to confirm Liu Ziheng's identity first rather than letting Zhang Yuhang fall out with her again.
By that time, the Hou family has an heir, and even if Zhang Yuhang does notice something, she will not have the confidence to deal with it.
Early the next morning.
The route to the vegetable market was blocked and inspected by a large number of soldiers from the Jingzhao Yin Mansion, and even some of the imperial troops were ordered to set up defenses along the way.
Today is the day when those involved in the case in the southern border will be executed. Such large-scale house confiscation and extermination has not happened in Kyoto for many years, but this time it not only happened, but even the six and three tribes suffered.
There were more than 100 officials involved in the case. However, if calculated in this way, not counting the women and children, the number of people who had to be taken to the vegetable market to be beheaded was already over 5,000.
The wide scope involved and the number of people involved are staggering.
Under such circumstances, no one, whether it was Jing Zhaoyin, the Ministry of Punishment, or even the ministers in the DPRK, dared to be careless in the slightest. What's more, now that the DPRK has already started to supervise hundreds of officials, no one wants to do so at this time. Become the target of Supervisor Tiansi.
"What is your name?"
"Where are you going?"
"Where is your registered residence and why are you here?"
The common people who had always disliked these officials before were not impatient when they heard about the interrogation of these people. Instead, they actively cooperated.
Those who could come here at this time had seen the court's announcement and were prepared to see the beheading in person.
Good deeds are rewarded and evil deeds are rewarded. They finally saw the court's attitude towards these corrupt officials. His Majesty and the court used the heads of more than 5,000 people to express their stance to the people of the world.
The common people are the most honest. They think that they will no longer be oppressed by corrupt officials in the future, and they finally have hope.
Even though the imperial court had never given them such a guarantee, they couldn't help but think so.
Zhang Yuhang and Supervisor Tiansi's men were also maintaining order, but he was not in other places, but led them directly to the vegetable market.
Not far away, a tall and tall platform stood there. Looking from a distance, even in this busy city, one could not help but feel a chill coming from the back.
"Uncle, I have verified that Guo Huai's family lacks two sons. Their names are on the execution list, but they are not among the prisoners. They disappeared out of thin air."
Xiao Yong stood aside. He had been with Zhang Yuhang since Bai Zhan went into seclusion. However, Bai Zhan had successfully broken through last night and could come back after consolidating it.
Zhang Yuhang said in a bad tone: "Do you know where these two people have gone? Can you find them?"
Xiao Yong struggled: "I don't know where they went. I am afraid it will be difficult to find these two people by myself. After all, if they can disappear from this prisoner, there must be someone behind them."
Although Xiao Yong's words were not in vain, the meaning in his tone was very clear, which was to tell Zhang Yuhang not to wade into this muddy water.
Zhang Yuhang thought for a moment and said to Zhang Wen on the side: "Go to the Supervisory Office to ask Wang Baihu and tell him that I owe him a favor."
Once Wang Lei knew about this matter, it would be equivalent to Zhao Yueming knowing about it, but he had no intention of hiding it from him, so it would be okay if he knew it.
Zhang Wen turned around and left. After Zhang Yuhang did what he did this time, he already recognized this new boss in his heart, and naturally he did not hesitate to receive Zhang Yuhang's orders.
But what Zhang Yuhang didn't expect was that not long after, Wang Lei came here in person.
Arranging the others around him to go out first, Wang Lei asked directly: "You didn't send that woman back to the southern border, and now you want to know the whereabouts of Guo Huai's two sons. What exactly do you want to do?"
Zhang Yuhang said calmly: "They deserve to die."
"There are so many damn people. Do you know that their lives are promised by the big shots in the court? You will only offend them to death, just because of the so-called justice in your heart. It is simply ridiculous."
Zhang Yuhang looked at his sarcasm and was not angry at all: "Not to mention that they themselves have done many evil things. No one knows better than you how many evil things they have done with the power of their father and family over the years.
And everyone paid the price, but not them? When you were enjoying happiness, you relied on your family's background, but now you are in trouble. Just by saying that adults are immoral, do you want to completely negate all these evils?
Why don't you say it when you enjoy it? What's the point?
If you enjoy wealth that others cannot enjoy, you should bear the price behind the wealth. You know this better than me. "
Wang Lei still shook his head: "No, no matter what you say, I won't tell you, don't even think about it."
"No, you will tell me." Zhang Yuhang was very confident, "If you really didn't want to tell me, you wouldn't have come here by yourself right now."
When Wang Lei heard this, he stared at Zhang Yuhang mercilessly, then turned around and left without saying anything.
But when he left, a piece of white cloth inadvertently dropped from his sleeves, with a few words scattered on it.
Zhang Yuhang looked at the disappearing figure of this person, smiled slightly, and thought to himself, he is really an arrogant guy.
Leaning over to pick up the white cloth on the ground, Zhang Yuhang looked at the address on it and then put it in his arms.
At this moment, on the high platform in the distance, batch after batch of prisoners' family members were being escorted up, and many of them were still shouting about injustice until now.
But more people have already accepted their fate at this time. After all, today, at this time, everything is destined.
There may be scenes in the play where people are saved by the sword, but this is reality, and in reality, that does not exist.
"Snapped!"
Seeing that the prisoner was already in place, the prison officer ordered someone to verify his identity, and then threw his token on the ground.
He shouted: "Everyone who commits a crime must be killed."
Because there are many people to be killed today, there is no need to wait until 3:00 noon. We can start directly after identifying ourselves.
"puff!"
The executioner picked up the wine jar next to him and poured it into his mouth, then sprayed it on the broadsword.
The broadsword reflected a dazzling white light under the hot sun.
Then he raised his long knife high.
When he heard the order to kill, he raised the knife and dropped it.
"Boom!"
As a bloody sword soared, the prisoners' heads fell to the ground.
Then the next batch of people who deserved to be killed were brought up again. The same steps, the same actions, but a different scene.
Some people waited to be killed, some shouted injustice, and some were even frightened to the point of incontinence, but the result was the same for them all.
That is......
