After the Fang family finished reading, the entire scene was stunned.
Even though they were jailed, they actually had to disband and resume the society, which also cut off their way of continuing after changing their names.
After today, not only will they have to go home and think about their mistakes, but the local literary society will no longer take them in, and they will be wary of gatherings with friends.
Who knows if Jin Yiwei will accuse him of joining the club again?
This completely trapped them in place.
"I, I don't accept it!"
"I'm not convinced either. I want to see His Majesty!"
"Why should we dissolve the society? We have done nothing wrong. We are not convinced!"
"If we are not allowed to see His Majesty today, I will jump into this Xuanwu Lake and drown to prove my ambition!"
"Yes, at least we will die. If we die in a proper place for this kind of thing, future generations of scholars will remember us!"
…
The crowd was furious, and the members of Fushe were angry.
Even Tengxiang's left guard on the periphery forgot about it and squeezed forward.
Seeing this scene, Li Ruolian didn't say anything, and waved towards the lake. A boat quickly slid over, pointing to the Xuanwu Lake behind him, and then spread his hands.
The meaning is obvious, don't you want to jump? Then jump!
This scene made everyone stunned, looking at each other with uncertain expressions.
They just wanted to use this to blackmail Li Ruolian and force the court to retreat. In the end, Li Ruolian didn't accept this trick at all.
Not only did they not stop or scold them, they even called a boat for fear that the water on the shore was not deep enough.
The average water level of Xuanwu Lake is one and a half to two meters, and as the southeast lake of Xuanwu Lake, even the shore is two meters deep, and the place five or six meters away from the shore is at least three meters deep.
If you jump, you may die. If you don't jump, you will not only lose your face, but also be guilty of bullying.
This time the horse is stuck in the mud - a dilemma.
Looking at the hesitant people, Li Ruolian's face was full of disdain, and he waved towards the outside. After receiving the order, Sergeant Tengxiang Left Guard shouted.
"Everyone, stand in groups! Register your information before leaving!"
"What are you still waiting for? Hurry up!"
"Don't you know horizontally or vertically?"
Sergeant Tengxiang Zuowei was not polite. He pushed the members of the Fushe community and kicked them if they resisted or were slower. For a while, they screamed again and again.
Seeing this scene, the members of the Fushe who had just shouted to dive into the water to show their ambition became angry. They gritted their teeth and rushed towards the lake.
While rushing, he recited the article on the tombstones of the five people loudly, with a look of sorrow and anger on his face.
Plop...
Plop...
One by one, members stepped on the boat and jumped into the lake, causing splashes of water.
"Brother Tianru, come up quickly!"
"Brother Laizhang, don't be stupid, just be patient for a few years!"
"Everyone, come up quickly, there is no need for this!"
"Leader, we are here to save you!"
"Commander Li, send someone to rescue them quickly!"
…
Countless members on the shore exclaimed and wanted to reach out to pull it, but they couldn't reach it at all. They could only watch the people sinking and floating in the water.
Everyone in the water was also struggling. They had no choice but to jump into the lake. However, after jumping down and choking on a few mouthfuls of water, they realized how terrible death was.
What made them most angry was that Jin Yiwei rowed the boat away after they jumped into the lake, leaving them with nowhere to work.
People who jumped into the water floated up and sank again, and again and again, and drank mouthfuls of water. Finally, some people lost their strength and began to sink to the bottom.
Li Ruolian, who had been watching with cold eyes, nodded towards the boat. Several guards in Jinyi jumped off and fished out several people who had sunk to the bottom.
Then he stripped off his clothes and hung upside down on a tree on the shore. He punched his stomach several times with his fist. The hanging man spat out mouthfuls of water, then twitched slightly and coughed violently.
But the people on the shore realized that as long as they were still struggling, Jin Yiwei would never save him. This scene made everyone on the shore look strange.
In two quarters of an hour, more than 30 people who had jumped into the water were rescued, hanging upside down on the shore like a dead fish. It was very spectacular.
After another quarter of an hour, everyone woke up and looked at themselves hanging upside down, full of shame.
Seeing that everyone was awake, Li Ruolian waved his hand, and the Jin Yiwei drew out his light sword and slashed at the thirty or so people hanging upside down in the eyes of countless horrified eyes.
Just when everyone thought they were going to die, the light knife cut off the ropes tied to them. Unexpectedly, everyone hanging upside down suddenly fell to the ground, screaming in agony.
But Li Ruolian didn't care about this. With a wave of his hand, the Jin Yiwei rushed into the crowd and arrested a few people.
"If my commander remembers correctly, you just shouted that you wanted to jump into the lake to show your ambition! Since you shouted but didn't jump, do you know what the crime is?
Do you know how to punish the crime of deceiving the emperor? It ranges from beheading to killing the nine tribes, you choose for yourself! "
The faces of the arrested people suddenly changed. Looking at the people who were rescued on the shore and still breathing heavily, they gritted their teeth and jumped directly into the lake.
Struggle, struggle...sink, come up...sink, and then there is nothing more.
No matter how the Fushe members on the shore shouted, Jin Yiwei seemed not to see them, and how could they be frightened by the death of a few people.
As a result, members of the society watched helplessly as their former friends drowned in front of them. The impact was unparalleled and left a shadow for the rest of their lives.
"Look at you guys, in order to achieve your goals, you are willing to risk death in exchange for your own honor.
Have you ever thought that if you die, your majesty will be trapped in unkindness and injustice? As scholars, do you still have a king and father in your eyes? Is this the way of the sages that you have been reading for several years?
If you are dissatisfied, then work hard, gain fame, take charge of the government, and work hard to change the things you think you are dissatisfied with, instead of gathering here to disrupt order and criticize the current government. "
"Come here, these people have gathered to disturb the people and disrupt order. Send them to the prison of the Nanjing Criminal Department to await their punishment!"
"The rest of the people, after registration is completed, find out who is behind the organization of this rally. Anyone who dares to hide it will be hanged upside down by the water."
"Next time, I will take you to prison and let you taste what it means to live worse than death!"
After Li Ruolian said these words, he glanced around coldly, then led a group of royal guards through the crowd and headed towards the palace, leaving behind a group of Fushe members with fear in their eyes.
Chongzhen also led everyone ashore from another direction and circled back to the palace.
Fushe, the largest political group in the history of the late Ming Dynasty, was finally nipped in the bud. It was an unexpected surprise.
Otherwise, when he notices it, he will have to spend countless energy to subvert it.
There are three thousand members, and they are all elites. There are at least ten or twenty times as many solid scholars. If they really want to cause trouble, it will definitely be more difficult than a mutiny in the army.
He is not afraid, but what about his son, can he handle it too? If you're not sure, kill it.
Zhang Pu, Zhang Cai and others were imprisoned, firstly to punish and intimidate, and secondly to temper their tempers. If they can be used, they can be used. If they cannot be used, they will be completely cut off from their thoughts.
As for offending the scholars in the southeast, that doesn't matter to him. Anyway, he will soon offend the scholars all over the world, and the south is no different.
After thinking for a while, he rushed to the Fang family and said: "Send a message back to Beijing and tell the cabinet what happened today. Let the cabinet discuss the issue of literati associations and see how to control them. They must not be allowed to form associations or gather together for activities! "
"Slave, let's do it now!"
After the Fang family responded, they immediately walked outside and met Li Ruolian who came in.
"Your Majesty, Xiong Wencan is here!"
