But not all the three tribes, there are still a small group of people, kneeling on the ground, with their hair disheveled, waiting quietly for death. They have their own integrity and backbone, and they don't want to give in even if they die.
Things that have been done since ancient times will no longer work when it comes to Yuntong County. Lord Wu An will act in such a rebellious manner and there will definitely be no good end.
The people around him were also frightened by this sentence. Someone broke the law, affected the normal life of his family, and even violated the laws of Daxia, and was guilty of consecutive imprisonment.
But the judgment of the Sheriff's Mansion is too outrageous. Who can bear it, letting his wife and daughter become prostitutes? Not even a man can bear it. Just like the proud head of the Huang family, who is already a little crazy at this time.
Gao Yushi showed a sneer.
"Bringing officials, buying and selling land, and undermining the nationalization of land are serious crimes. This crime will shake our national destiny for hundreds of years in the future. Even if I am the censor of Yuntong County, except for the land accumulated in my early years, the rest of the land under my name Everything is for leasing, don’t dare to buy or sell.”
"You think you are doing something clean and no one knows about it? You just started buying and selling land, and then you went on a massive acquisition spree. Recently you started buying and selling by force, and you even killed a lot of people who owned the land. You really think we are blind."
"I just regret that I didn't report to Lord Wu An in time. It's just that Lord Wu An was angry. After this trial, I will go to Zhuangzi in person to wait for Lord Wu An's trial of me."
Gao Yushi paused and waved, and immediately soldiers came out with a dozen officials.
Some officials' faces were almost bruised. As soon as these people went to the execution ground, their hands and feet began to ache. People outside only knew how powerful Wu An was, but they knew his methods.
He has never been kind to his enemies. Even though he captured so many slaves, it was not just for labor. Based on the knowledge of these officials, they understood one thing.
If millions of slaves did not do any good to Yuntong County, Lord Wu An would definitely order them all to be killed without even a frown.
"Master Yushi, I, we are forced to have no choice, can you let us see the king?"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu I don't want to collect money, but, they actually throw money at my house every day!"
"Please, Lord Gao, let us see Mr. Wu An, even if our heads fall to the ground, I hope he can treat our families well!"
Looking at these officials who were crying, Gao Yushi let out a long sigh, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and he hated them for not fighting.
Although the annual salary of Yuntong County officials is paid according to the Xia State system, some subsidies are paid every March, June, and December. As long as they make no mistakes, it is almost a large amount of money.
There is also the sale of grain on leased land. Even a small official in Yuntong County will not live much worse than some outside county magistrates.
Someone threw money into your mansion. Will you die if you report it?
He took out another official document from his arms and read it out.
"Wu'an Jun ordered that all the officials involved in the incident should be executed by cannon for the leader, Ling Chi for the second worst, the rest of the family members should be made into slave priests, and all the servants should be taken back to the county governor's mansion."
Not to mention others, when Gao Yushi read it out, his heart kept trembling. You must know that Lao Gao has been on the battlefield and has never experienced anything cruel.
But seeing Lord Wu An's order, even a veteran of many battles was almost frightened and had a heart attack.
Everyone was shocked. What was shocking was that the families of officials ended up in the same fate as the families of merchants, without enjoying any preferential treatment at all.
This made some merchants feel a different feeling. Lu Daoyuan squinted his eyes and felt a little admiration in his heart.
The king is the king after all, I didn’t say it clearly, but as long as I do business honestly and don’t touch things that I can’t touch, I will live a comfortable life. If I touch something that I shouldn’t touch, I will definitely end up with it. Extremely miserable.
"Prepare for execution!"
"promise!"
Lieutenant Ma raised his hand and waved to his men.
The soldiers brought in iron barrels one by one from outside. These iron barrels were about the same as oil barrels, but they were about two meters high.
The soldiers, like wolves and tigers, grabbed the corrupt officials, pulled off their clothes, then tied their wrists with chains, and locked them to the iron pillars.
Xiang'er, who was watching outside, frowned.
"Hongguang, what is this going to do? Is it the punishment of being burned? Why haven't I heard of it?"
Hong Guang shook his head, "Then I wouldn't know, I've never heard of it!"
"Dad, do you know?"
Lu Daoyuan shook his head, with a puzzled look on his face.
"Could it be that officials are treated more favorably? After all, they are all officials, and some are scholar-bureaucrats. It is too harsh and detrimental to the majesty of the king."
After tying up the five men, the soldiers threw the torches directly into the iron barrels.
There was a "boom".
Everyone started burning, and you could tell from the crackling sound that there was a lot of firewood in the iron bucket!
In just a few minutes, shrill sounds sounded.
"Ah!!! It's so hot, it burns me to death!!"
"I, I can't stand it anymore, kill me, kill me."
"Gao, Gao Yushi, I will give you my wife, please give me a pleasure."
The person who was fine at first began to have blisters on his back, and it was almost impossible to see from the front, which was charred and black, and a burning smell began to permeate the air.
"vomit!!!"
Xiang'er, who was watching outside, ran directly to the side and vomited. Lu Hongguang immediately supported her. His face was also ugly. It was the first time he saw such a cruel criminal law.
"Are you okay? If not, let's go and I'll take you to see a doctor?"
Xiang'er waved his hand, took the water bag from the servant and rinsed his mouth!
At this time, she felt a little dazed, with a horrified expression on her face.
Seeing her parents-in-law coming, Xiang'er said hurriedly.
"So, from now on our family will do business peacefully. We will do whatever Mr. Wu An stipulates. We must never do anything that is not allowed by law."
Long Daoyuan's expression was also ugly, and he nodded. He couldn't control other people's families. If anyone dared to violate Lord Wu'an's laws in the future, he would personally tie them up and send them to Zhuangzi.
After a while, the corrupt officials who were tortured by the cannon became charred black.
The whole body was curled up together, the surface of the body was charred black, and the hair was burned away except for curling due to the high temperature.
The soldiers almost scraped the corpses off the iron barrels with weapons, and then repeated the process to eliminate the culprits among the officials.
The tortured people around him were already frightened. The head of the Huang family no longer looked as irritable as before. He was holding his hair with both hands and his head was buried in his legs.
Soon, the second group of corrupt officials were pulled by a few soldiers and pressed directly against the iron barrel, and there were screams again.
Among the people watching the execution, some people who were frightened and fainted appeared one after another, mainly because these guys shouted too aggressively.
Even on weekdays, some people who pride themselves on being brave were frightened by the screams of these people and became hairy all over their bodies.
After all the chief culprits were taken care of, the next step was Ling Chi, the officials responsible for the culprit. Some people knew about Ling Chi, while others didn't.
I saw about ten people tied to stools. Some officials wearing prison-like clothes took out boxes from their arms, opened them and took out a sharp knife with a cold glow, showing a sick smile.
When he saw these people coming, Gao Yushi's mouth twitched fiercely.
By the way, who wouldn’t be afraid of them if they knew the inside story? All the people in prison are insane and no one is a normal person.
When these people come home after get off work, they are just like ordinary people. Some of them are talkative, while others are taciturn. But one thing is that no matter who asks, they just say that they are prison guards. As for other questions, even if they are relatives When asked, they remained silent.
But Gao Yushi knew that these people became crazy as soon as they went to work. There are not so many officials in jail now, but once an official is caught in the imperial edict, he will probably have to at least come out sideways.
I heard that last time an official was inside and was severely beaten. As for who it was, no one knew who it was. Anyway, he was beaten very badly.
Wrapping the prisoners in a fine fishing net, the guards stood in front of the prisoners with knives and began to cut open the skin of their brows. With just a slight cut of the knife, blood flowed down.
"Ah~~~Why does it hurt so much?"
"It hurts so much, please, kill me, I, I have money, I have money."
But when these officials saw the jailer's expression, they were already desperate.
These jailers turned their backs to the people, but their expressions were of enjoyment! Simply not normal.
According to the order prescribed by Yang Qian, cut the head and face first, then the hands and feet, then the chest and abdomen, and finally the head. If it is twenty-four cuts, it will be 1-2 cuts for the eyebrows, 3-4 cuts for the shoulders, and 5-6 cuts. Breasts.
Knife 7-8 cuts between the hands and the elbows, knife 9-10 cuts between the elbows and the shoulders, and then divides the knife into two to cut off the meat of the legs, the calves, stab the heart, cut the head, and cut the hands. , cut both wrists, feet, and legs, stabbing the heart and cutting off the head with one knife.
Yang Gan believes that little Karami only needs the most basic Lingchi. As for the one that costs thousands of dollars? They are not worthy yet and must be left to the big boss to enjoy themselves.
After all the officials have been disposed of, their corpses will be placed under the city gate for a week for people coming and going to view carefully, which will act as a deterrent.
Yang Gan has always felt that in the society of his previous life, the laws had actually begun to improve, but one thing was missing, and that was corporal punishment.
For example, in cases of drunk driving, drunk driving, hit-and-run, and child abduction, you can absolutely use corporal punishment, beat them severely, and beat them every day to improve their memory. That's right.
Don't think it's violent. The most essential part of human society is violence. Without violence, how dare the Lighthouse Country be so arrogant?
The merchants actually smiled when they were dismembering the bodies of the five cattle and decapitating the owl. Compared with the way the officials died, they were already satisfied.
Especially the people at the head of the owl, they now want to hold Yang Qian and kiss him twice, they are definitely at the level of biological fathers.
