Chapter 259 Jingguan composed of the heads of the Li family
Zhao Yan continued loudly:
"Yesterday, the imperial court found out that Li Shui of the county, Li Jie, the county lieutenant, and their family were privately developing iron mines and building an iron factory ten miles away from Jiangpan Village outside the city. They also made three hundred pairs of iron armor with the intention of conspiracy...
..”
Zhao Yan loudly explained the reason for today's public trial.
As for why the Li family secretly developed gunpowder and intended to rebel, it was because matters related to gunpowder were kept secret and could not be known to the outside world.
The clan leaders below the high platform wished that they had not seen anything yesterday, and they would not take the initiative to expose Zhao Yan for lying now.
After a brief description, Zhao Yan's voice suddenly changed.
"Yesterday's incident happened. The Li family organized clan members to resist the search by the imperial officers and soldiers. The two brothers Li Shui and Li Jie were unjustly appointed as imperial officials. They knew the law and violated the law. They deserved death. They were killed on the spot yesterday! All the warriors of the Li family have now been beheaded.
, and build a capital to watch here!”
Zhao Yan's voice gradually became colder and harsher. As she finished speaking, she suddenly turned slightly sideways and pointed to the location of Jingguan.
"The head is here, are you interested in taking a look?"
This news is explosive.
The two brothers Li Shui and Li Jie were dead, and all the warriors of the Li family were killed. Now their heads were placed in front of them.
Moreover, according to City Lord Zhao’s wishes, they can also step forward and take a look with their own eyes?
The crowd was silent for a moment, and then at the next moment, there was a bang and it exploded.
The Li family has a very bad reputation among the people in the city, which means everyone wants to kill them.
It's just that in the past, the Li family was so powerful that they didn't even dare to discuss it.
But now, the big shots of the Li family are dead!
The head is placed in front of the main entrance of the Li family residence.
The most important thing is that the two main backers of the Li family, Li Shui and Li Jie, are really dead!
"Want to see, want to see!"
"Have a look, I can't see clearly!"
"Great, great, God has eyes!"
"Those in front of you get down, get down quickly and let us take a look!"
...
The crowd was extremely noisy, with all kinds of sounds intertwined.
But their attitude is extremely clear.
They want to see, look at those heads, look at those beasts of the Li family, really dead.
Since they were all sitting, they couldn't see very far.
At this moment, everyone was so anxious that their faces were red, their ears were scratching, and their necks were stretched out.
There are all kinds of sounds.
Scolding, crying, relief, crying, laughter...
Emotions exploded, and so did the voices. The roars and roars of people seemed to be able to knock off the roof and disperse the clouds in the sky.
Zhao Yan did not order any guards to stop the commotion of the people. He waited on the stage for about ten minutes before the sound gradually dissipated.
The excitement and excitement of the people also calmed down a little.
"Since you want to see it, just line up and obey the guards' arrangements!"
Zhao Yan is a warrior in the Bronze Skin Realm. She can spread her orders throughout the square without any auxiliary amplification tools.
All the people in the square heard this order.
After about three breaths, under the supervision and organization of the guards, the people in various areas, starting from the area closest to the high platform, all stood up.
Then they all formed into a square formation.
Although the square team stood crookedly, they were able to organize themselves and move forward in an orderly manner.
After Zhao Yan gave an order, the first batch of "lucky ones" slowly moved.
Under the leadership of the guards, they moved to the Jingguan area on the side of the main entrance of the Li family's residence.
They will see the heads of the Li family's big shots at close range, that is, about one meter apart.
Everyone looked either excited, curious, or angry...
The expressions vary.
There are all kinds of emotions, but the only one I don't have is fear.
This is a barbaric era, where there is no difference between humans and animals.
We often hear about dead people.
Even children aged seven or eight don't have much fear of the human head.
Huang An stood at the downwind of Jingguan and could directly see the faces of the slowly moving people.
"Hurry up and look, you can only look, don't do anything!"
"Listen carefully, you can't do anything, the people behind you are still watching!"
"Mr. Zhao said that these heads will be kept here for five days. In the future, wooden statues of these dignitaries of the Li family will be built here to worship. Let's come and see them later!"
"Hurry up, hurry up, don't wait any longer!"
"..."
There were guards on both sides, constantly scolding and exhorting the people, and they pressed hard.
After all, there are too many people. If everyone looks at it for two seconds, someone behind him may not be able to see it.
These guards were specially arranged by Huang An.
There are only forty-three members of the Li family, and there is not much space when placed together.
But there were twelve guards.
They stood on both sides, staring at the people who came to visit, to prevent the excited people from taking drastic actions.
The number of heads is still too small. Compared with the tens of thousands, maybe even more than 100,000 people watching the excitement today, they can only be woolen sweaters.
There are countless people in Feng'an City who have been bullied by the Li family.
Their hatred for the Li family is engraved in their bones and in their hearts.
Even if Huang An thought with his heels, he knew that there must be people who would do something dirty to these heads.
Just take a look.
If you pluck out a handful of hair, punch or slap someone, even such relatively minor actions, once repeated too many times, these heads will not be able to handle it.
It's okay if people throw one punch, but what if they throw a thousand punches or ten thousand punches?
No matter how hard your head is, it can't withstand the roar of so many people.
Moreover, what Huang An is most afraid of is that the people who have been severely humiliated by the Li family will go crazy when they see these people, and they will lie down on the Jingguan, bite the heads with their teeth, and eat the flesh and blood.
It doesn't matter if there are no more heads by then, but if trouble occurs, a stampede occurs, and large-scale casualties occur, it will be bad.
A large-scale riot involving tens of thousands of people cannot be stopped by just a few Bronze-skin warriors.
The flow of people gradually accelerated, but the sounds of laughter and spectators gradually disappeared, replaced by howls and cries.
More often than not, there is silence.
"My father, the Li family is dead, dead!"
"Woooooooo, dead, all dead!"
.....
The sound of sobbing resounded throughout the entire Nuoda area.
The cries of an old woman and a young son are painful and tragic to hear.
The square can only accommodate five to six thousand people, but the number of people coming to see the excitement is now at least five to six thousand.
And more and more people heard the news, and the people who came were still coming to the south area of the city.
Even if they can't lean in front, can't hear or see, it's still worth it just to watch from a distance.
Although they were blocked from the outside, they could not hear Zhao Yan's words clearly at the first time.
But soon I understood everything through the explanation of the specially arranged escort responsible for reporting the news.
The cheers from the outside never stopped.
The bad reputation of the Li family is evident.
Under the supervision and support of more than ten guards, the process of visiting Beijing was relatively fast.
But even so, the whole process still lasted more than four hours.
Seeing that it was almost lunch time, the people still didn't disperse to have lunch. Instead, more and more people gathered together.
Zhao Yan was not surprised and continued with the next process.
Huang An, who was watching the show in the back, immediately gave Chen Qi instructions.
Ask the kitchen to roll out the prepared pancakes and distribute them to the people.
The people of this era don't know how to eat at this point.
Three meals a day is something that most of the people in Feng'an City cannot afford.
Usually there are two meals a day, one around nine in the morning and one around three in the afternoon.
Fortunately, there is a big cake to eat today.
Carts filled with steaming pancakes were pushed out from the small doors on both sides of the main entrance.
Later, under strict supervision, the guards distributed the pancakes to the people in the square.
The process of handing out big cakes was uneventful. Huang An was worried about the commotion, but it was suppressed after it started.
Fortunately, the guards who maintained order were armed with weapons, which enhanced their deterrence, otherwise it would have been hard to tell.
The backyard of the Li family's mansion is a large warehouse.
It contains everything, among which food and cloth are the most important.
Especially the amount of food was so abundant that even Huang An was frightened.
The Li family has more than 6,000 acres of farmland, and there is a lot of food left over every year. Now it is cheaper for Huang An and the others.
A large pancake weighing about a kilogram will definitely take the effect of winning people's hearts to a higher level.
Huang An's hearing was very strong and he could clearly hear it. There were a lot more praises for Zhao Yan from the crowd.
The smiles on the faces of the people in the square became more and more sincere.
The people at the bottom of the Ming Dynasty, especially the people in Feng'an City, a remote small county, lived a very miserable life.
Numbness and indifference are the truest reflections of people.
It is absolutely impossible for Huang An to establish and develop his own power directly on such a land and on the basis of such people's sentiments.
Developing and cultivating your own power is just like farming. Only by fertilizing the land can crops grow better.
What Huang An wants to do now, and what he is doing now, is to defeat the numb emotions of the people of Feng'an City and change their mental outlook.
Only by restoring their confidence in life and future can these people be used by others.
The best way to do this is to revive their confidence in Zhao Yan, the city lord, and believe that Zhao Yan is a great master who can make decisions for the people.
This is the basis for establishing power, the emotional basis of the people, and the material basis, which are equally important.
This point has been fully confirmed in the history of my hometown.
A group of sheep that only know how to gnaw grass cannot cultivate talents in any way, nor can they be used for any purpose.
When the people returned to their previous positions and took their seats again, Zhao Yan once again stood on the edge of the high platform, facing the people directly.
This time, she just stood up from her seat, and the lowly people had already started cheering.
When she reached the edge, the people automatically stopped making noise.
There was almost no other sound in the entire square.
