The night was shaking and the wind was roaring.
Teams of Dongchang personnel were dispatched, and all officials and relatives involved, as well as more than ten dignitaries in the capital, were arrested.
All personnel were detained in Yannan Town.
"We were wronged!"
"Sir, please forgive me, this is none of my business!"
"They forced me to do it. I am just a domestic slave and cannot disobey my master!"
That night, the sky was filled with cries and wailings. After thousands of people learned of their fate, they all cried out for injustice. The sound was so loud that the whole town couldn't sleep all night.
"I'm afraid thousands of people have been arrested. How cruel! It is said that they will be beheaded tomorrow!"
"That is to say, these bastards robbed babies and even used babies to sacrifice to ghosts and gods, but they died a good death!"
"It's rare for these geldings to do anything human."
Many people gathered together and discussed secretly.
Under such an environment, the vigilance inside and outside Yannan Town increased several levels, and many people in Shendu were also frightened because Dongchang was arresting powerful people.
Many powerful people didn't know what was going on, so they asked for information privately.
But in the dark night, Yang Fan slept soundly, far more soundly than at other times.
Early the next morning, the common people who had not slept all night were very energetic.
Before the rooster crows, they all come out.
One by one, they went in groups to the Qingshui River on the edge of Yannan Town, where people from Dongchang had cleared an open space overnight, and it was said that they were going to judge the evildoers.
When they arrived, the area was already heavily guarded by Dongchang troops.
From a distance, I saw rows of people kneeling in the open space. At first glance, there were hundreds of people. Some of them were wearing fine clothes, some were wearing official clothes, and some were just wearing coarse linen.
Obviously the identities vary.
However, they now only have one identity in common, that is, prisoners!
Yang Fan is in a superior position, looking down at this group of people indifferently. There are six more groups of people like this. Today, he will wave the butcher's knife and execute all of these people here!
On the open space, teams of Dongchang troops were guarding the four sides!
Murderous intent rose into the sky.
The world was silent, as if the wind had stopped and the surrounding flags were no longer fluttering.
Yang Fan raised his head and glanced at the sun that was gradually rising in the sky. He waited without saying a word until the sun was at its peak, and then slowly spoke, his voice like thunder, resounding in all directions.
"Those who kidnap babies will die!"
"Those who snatch babies will die!"
"Death to the baby-killers!"
"Those who worship evil gods will die!"
"Those who cover up the infant-receiving religion will die!"
The words "death" were spoken one after another, which shocked the faces of everyone in the open space. Some were scared, some were mad, and some were numb and stunned with fear.
"Execution!"
Yang Fan spit out the last two words.
One by one, the executioners laughed ferociously, stepped forward, and began the execution.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
There were constant sounds of sword swings, heads falling to the ground, and blood gushing out like fountains.
The people around him were not afraid. Instead, they all showed expressions of joy. Some of the families whose babies had been robbed were even moved to tears.
One group of people was killed, and the next group was pulled up.
So many people were killed that even the executioner's expression became numb.
But at this time, several people shouted crazily: "It's unjust! We are unjust! We are just slaves, and we are also forced!"
No one wants to die. In the face of death, someone finally collapses.
Especially the farmers who were arrested and the servants in the families of powerful officials did not think that they were wrong at all!
They believe that they are just being forced.
Why do they have to die too?
"We were wronged, sir, please have mercy!"
Tap tap tap.
At this moment, heavy footsteps sounded, and Yang Fan walked up to them coldly. Facing Yang Fan's cold face, the scene fell silent for an instant.
They knew in their hearts that the fate of them all was decided by Yang Fan at this moment.
However, the corners of Yang Fan's mouth were slightly raised, revealing a hint of ridicule.
"You are slaves and servants, so you are unable to disobey the master's decision? They asked you to kill, so you killed? Then now they want to die, why can't you die?"
The more Yang Fan talked, the angrier he became.
"You were forced, but what's the crime of those babies? Don't you feel ashamed in your heart when you face those innocent little faces?"
"You open your mouth and say you are innocent, aren't the babies you killed innocent?"
Yang Fan's voice echoed over the open space.
"Evil people deserve to die, and those who help evildoers deserve to die are equally worthy of death!"
Yang Fan turned around indifferently, without even looking at these people. In his eyes, these people should all be punished, and no one is innocent!
In this way, from noon to afternoon, thousands of people were executed.
The blood flowing on the ground merged into the river, almost dyeing the entire river red!
The smell of blood spreads far and wide!
The invisible murderous aura was condensed here, making everything here seem to be stained with blood. Even everyone in the East Factory couldn't help but hold their breath slightly when they saw this scene.
Uh-huh!
Eunuch Nie's figure appeared on a tree in the distance. He looked at Yang Fan who was sitting on the stage with a calm expression. A look of surprise appeared on his face. After a long time, he clasped his hands and sighed.
"What a cruel character!"
"I can't blame the factory governor for being willing to release a dragon general!"
Such quotas are so valuable that even the entire Dongchang can only get a few every year.
On the open ground.
After the execution was completed, Yang Fan slowly stood up.
The bodies of these prisoners have been pulled down and buried, but the heads have been left behind. According to Yang Fan's wishes, a huge Jingguan has been built!
Head count!
Thousands of human heads were built up layer by layer, which looked shocking.
Moreover, the processed human heads are enough to ensure that they will not rot for a long time. They will always stand here in the form of a spectacle to warn the world!
Yang Fan stepped forward and looked at the tall pyramid-like shape.
With a tip of his toe, he kicked Du Xintian's head to the top of the Jingguan.
"I declare that this infant retrieval mission is completed!"
"Except for all the proceeds that are handed over to the East Factory, the rest will be rewarded according to rank. In addition, a sum of silver will be taken out and given to families who have lost their babies as compensation."
"As you command!"
After hearing Yang Fan's announcement, everyone kowtowed.
When the people in the distance heard the last words, they felt grateful and kowtowed one after another.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Qingtian!"
At this point, the huge force of infant retrieval cult that had been established in the southern suburbs for several years was completely wiped out.
At this time, Yang Fan was looking at Jingguan. The depression accumulated in his body finally slowly dissipated, and his mind became smooth again.
His mind was clear and his soul began to grow slowly.
"This is what I want!"
"Change the world!"
