Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Ever since Jiapo ordered the Jin Yiwei to arrest corrupt officials and eight wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan three days ago, the whole Jiangnan has been completely boiling.
At the same time, the imperial court was already prepared. The officials who were placed in Yangzhou to take over Jiangnan at any time would quickly take over the entire Jiangnan after all the criminals were captured.
With the failure of Zhou Quan's rebellion and his arrest, one of the eight Jiedushi envoys was removed, and the Suhang Jiedushi Yamen was also changed to the Hangzhou Magistrate's Yamen.
The back garden of the magistrate's office
Lin Daiyu was helping Jiapo tidy up his royal robes, her eyes full of admiration.
"Rou'er, please get ready. When the work here is finished, we will return to the Shenjing City." Japer said after finishing the royal robes.
"Brother Yubai misses my sister, right?" Lin Daiyu said with a slight smile, raising the corners of her mouth.
Japo tapped Lin Daiyu, smiled and joked: "Don't say you don't want to, don't you also write to Kerr every day!"
Just when Lin Daiyu wanted to continue speaking, Chen Hui came over and saluted: "Your Majesty, all the officials have arrived."
"Okay, let's go!"
After exhorting Lin Daiyu, he took Chen Hui to the military camp.
Today was the day when Japo went on a killing spree. Japo called all the surviving wealthy businessmen from Jiangnan, business officials from the Commerce Department, and officials from all over Jiangnan. He wanted them to see the fate of their predecessors and remember this day forever.
At this time, the military camp was crowded with people. I don't know how many people gathered here. The surrounding mountains were also full of people, at least hundreds of thousands.
Fortunately, Japer had already asked Ma Kai to lead the army to maintain order, otherwise countless people would have been squeezed to death just by crowding.
"Wow! There are many officials sitting on the high platform. They are all new parents and officials!" said a commoner standing nearby.
"Look! That's our new magistrate. As soon as our magistrate came, he arrested the local gangsters and bullies in our area. The magistrate also killed Rich Man Li's family who did all the bad things and was killed on the spot by the magistrate."
"The same goes for us there...!
Just as the people were talking about it, a loud singing sounded.
"The prince is here!"
Japer appeared in front of the throne on the high platform wearing royal robes and a crown.
With the appearance of Jiapo, all civil and military officials and people knelt down and shouted!
"My lord, please pay your respects to Prince Zhongping. Your Majesty is a thousand years old!"
"The common people are waiting to pay their respects to the Prince of Zhongping County. His Majesty is a thousand years old!"
Japer looked at the crowd and said loudly: "Your Majesty, please excuse me! All the people, stand up!"
"Thank you! Your Majesty!" Everyone thanked them and stood up.
Japer stood with his hands behind his hands, glanced at all the officials with cold eyes, and said coldly: "You already know what happened in Jiangnan. The King has called you here today, hoping that you can remember today and never forget how your predecessors died!
Today all of you must watch the whole process for Gu. I don’t want you to appear on the execution platform one day. "
After saying that, he ignored them and turned around to sit on the throne.
"Thank you, Your Majesty! I will obey the King's order!"
Most of the officials already knew what Japer was going to do, and their faces were pale and they were sweating profusely.
Regardless of what everyone was thinking, Japer nodded to Zhang Hu that it was time to start.
Zhang Hu took a step forward and shouted: "The executioner is ready."
Soon, three thousand sergeants holding swords came out of the army, standing ten meters apart in an orderly manner.
Seeing this scene, all the officials had a bad feeling in their hearts. Under what circumstances it would take as many as 3,000 people to behead.
In an instant, the timid ones began to tremble all over, and the better ones also had fear in their eyes.
At this time, a supervisor stood up and shouted
"Wang Ling: The eight wealthy businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River, Chen, Wang, Liu, Su, Lu, Bai, Cui, and Liu, were unkind for the sake of wealth. They killed people, trafficked people, smuggled contraband, forced girls into prostitution, and colluded with Zhou Quan, the governor of Suzhou and Hangzhou, to plot a rebellion. The emperor’s decree punishes the nine tribes!”
Soon the members of the eight major families were brought out, and everyone looked at Japer on the high throne with hatred in their eyes.
"Japer, you have to die...!"
"You can't kill me, I'm from the Wang family, and the Wang family will definitely save me...!"
"It's unjust! I'm unjustly accused...!
As the wives, children, young and old of the eight wealthy businessmen were brought out, the entire military camp began to be filled with shouts of abuse, injustice, and threats.
Soon the first batch of 3,000 prisoners were identified! With the sound of execution, the three thousand sergeants raised their swords and dropped their swords instantly. Three thousand heads rolled down and the blood began to spread.
In addition to the soldiers and generals who had experienced the baptism of blood and fire, the officials on the high platform and many common people began to turn pale.
Although many people felt uncomfortable in their hearts, seeing the evildoers who had oppressed and domineering them in the past being beheaded, those people who had been harmed started shouting!
"Good kill!"
"Kill them"
"Son! Have you seen it? Your revenge has been avenged!"
"Madam! If you have a spirit in heaven, please take a look! Our great revenge has been avenged."
Looking at the people outside the military camp shouting that the great revenge must be avenged, Japer's murderous intention towards those corrupt officials and the eight wealthy businessmen became more intense. He has never forgotten that in his previous life, he was just an ordinary citizen, but he was very lucky. !
Soon the sky began to reach noon. A total of 53,000 people from the eight wealthy merchants and nine tribes, including all the evil-doing slaves, maids, and wives, were all beheaded in public. Their heads were piled up into a mountain in the military camp, and the entire military camp was covered with blood. .
All the officials were pale with fright, were suffering from vomiting and diarrhea, and some were already unconscious.
The same is true for many people.
Seeing this, Japer frowned slightly and ordered: Close the gate of the military camp, let Sun Tao lead people to evacuate the people, and send the unconscious and uncomfortable people to the hospital. "Zhang Hu took the order and left.
Japer turned to look at the officials and said coldly: "Wake up. If he can't wake up, let him never wake up!" After saying that, he turned around and continued to sit back on the throne.
The surrounding officials were agitated when they heard what Japer said. They didn't think that Japer didn't dare to kill them. They immediately cheered up. Those who were unconscious were even splashed with a basin of water. A few unlucky ones did not wake up. Among the many The officers' heads were cut off under the horrified eyes. Now they were even more afraid of Japer and forced themselves not to fall into unconsciousness.
Seeing that many officials were cheering up, Japer signaled to continue.
Immediately afterwards, the nine Jiangnan criminals and their family members headed by Ren Wei, as well as the evil servants, maids, and mothers-in-law were brought up. There was no blood on their faces. They saw the whole process of the nine families of the eight wealthy businessmen being beheaded. Yes, at this time, their whole bodies were already weak.
As the prisoners were led to the execution platform, Japer signaled to stop, then stood up and walked to the front desk.
"Raise your heads, the lonely king!" Japer suddenly shouted.
All the officials present were frightened by Japer's loud shout and subconsciously raised their heads and looked forward.
"They are all your predecessors. You already know the crimes they committed. I hope you will remember this day and I hope you will never follow their path.
As long as you benefit the people, be loyal and prosperous, and as long as you are capable enough, you can come to Gu if you have any problems in the future. Even if you tell Gu that you want to be a high official, Gu can recommend you to His Majesty, but if you follow their old path, Gu will let you A hundred times worse than them. "
"I respectfully follow the teachings of the prince!"
All the officials were overjoyed and then shocked when they heard Japer's words. They knew in their hearts that this person in front of them was a man who kept his word, and they all secretly warned themselves not to make mistakes.
Soon the sky gradually darkened and the execution was finally over.
According to statistics, the number of people killed by Japer's orders on this day was as many as 149,866.
Everyone who heard this data was frightened and horrified. Such killings had never happened before in the dynasty. They all lamented Jiapo's murderous intention. The officials in Jiangnan were even more careful every day not to make any mistakes or omissions. They were deeply afraid that He followed in his own footsteps.
