Chapter 107 The day he returns to Beijing is his death! 【Leng Ye for the leader of the alliance 1986
Those traders were just small traders. They just felt that they were being taxed more by the tax collectors. As for who suggested the emperor to tax, they really didn't know.
After listening to what the scholar said, several people suddenly realized. One of them slapped his leg and said: "It turns out that it is these eunuchs who have cut off their children and grandchildren. I always thought that the one who ordered to increase our business tax was from the cabinet."
Where are those old men?"
"Yes, I have always thought that it was the literati who were raising our business tax, but I didn't expect that it was these eunuchs."
The scholar nodded and said: "Don't you imagine, if any of the princes in the court is not a gentleman who has read the books of sages and bathed in the teachings of sages, how could they do things that harm the interests of the people? Everything is wrong.
It’s those eunuchs who bewitched the emperor and deceived him!”
Many people around him nodded their heads after hearing this, and one person said: "Yes, these people who cut off their descendants are not good people. I heard that this Chu Yi is a murderer and likes to devour people's hearts..."
There were not just one or two literati in the crowd, but dozens or hundreds of them. They frantically smeared Chu Yi's image in the crowd, describing him as a demon that everyone could kill.
Among the crowd, there was a middle-aged man dressed in smart clothes, and a young man next to him who looked to be only eighteen or nineteen years old was curiously looking at the key criminal kneeling in the darkness of the execution ground.
The young man could only be heard saying: "Father, this Governor of Chu is so majestic. He actually killed hundreds of people at one time. I heard people say that this man is a murderer. He killed hundreds of people in Jiangnan alone."
too much……"
The middle-aged man couldn't help but change his expression slightly, looked around subconsciously, glared at the young man and said: "Pingzhi, didn't I ask you to stay in the inn, did you go out and listen to the nonsense of those idle people again?
"
The young man who was called Pingzhi said: "Father, you agreed to take the child to Nanjing City this time to open his eyes. It is not good to just let the child stay in the inn when he arrives in Nanjing City and never go out.
!”
This father and son are none other than Lin Zhennan and Lin Pingzhi from the Fuzhou Fuwei Escort Bureau.
Lin Zhennan smiled bitterly and said: "Pingzhi, this is Nanjing City, not Fuzhou City. There are many dignitaries gathered here, and there are many high-ranking officials and nobles. If we are not careful, it may bring disaster to our Lin family."
Lin Pingyi looked puzzled and said: "But a child will not cause trouble. Besides, others say that the governor of the East Factory is murderous..."
Lin Zhennan shouted: "Pingzhi, shut up quickly, how can we discuss such a person!"
Lin Pingzhi pointed at the few scholars not far away who were talking bad things about Chu Yi in the crowd and said, "Father, look, they seem to be complaining about Governor Chu. What others said,
Why can’t the child say anything?”
Lin Zhennan couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. The couple usually disciplined Lin Pingzhi very well. They had never experienced any hardships at all, and they didn't know the dangers of people's hearts.
The reason why I brought Lin Pingzhi out for escort this time was that I was getting older and sooner or later the escort agency would be in Lin Pingzhi's hands. On the other hand, I also brought Lin Pingzhi to see the prosperous Jiangnan area.
It's also a good eye-opener.
Seeing the innocence and confusion in Lin Pingzhi's eyes, Lin Zhennan patted Lin Pingzhi on the shoulder and said: "Pingzhi, we are just ordinary people, but they are different, they are scholars..."
Lin Pingzhi looked at himself, then at the young men who looked like scribes in blue shirts, curled his lips and said: "I don't think there is any difference, they are not as good-looking as me, these people are not good people either!
"
Lin Zhennan couldn't help but said in surprise: "Why did my son say this?"
Lin Zhennan had traveled all over the country and was used to all kinds of conspiracies and tricks. Based on his life experience, he could tell at a glance that these scholars were obviously throwing dirty water on Chu Yi. Maybe some of their words were true, but they were quite
Part of it is deliberately distorting the facts, but ordinary people simply do not have the ability and channels to distinguish right from wrong. Naturally, they believe whatever others say.
After all, in this land south of the Yangtze River, scholars are considered superior to others and are a symbol of noble status. In the eyes of ordinary people, the words spoken by such people are probably credible.
Lin Pingzhi said with a bit of pride: "Look, father, these people talk about others behind their backs and speak ill of Taoists, among other things. This alone is not what a gentleman does!"
Lin Zhennan couldn't help laughing when he heard this and said: "My son's words make sense."
On the execution ground, Chu Yi was sitting there. The whole execution ground was a formidable scene, with neatly dressed soldiers all around maintaining the order of the entire execution ground.
Hundreds of criminals were brought in one by one, filling the entire execution ground.
Nanjing has its own execution ground, but not many criminals are killed here every year. This is really the second time such a large-scale murder has occurred in recent years.
The first encounter was the one where Chu Yi massacred people in front of the Zhou family's house a few days ago.
There was a dark crowd all around. Although these people were inspired by the literati and looked at Chu Yi a little wrong, they were ordinary people after all. It was obviously impossible for them to deal with Chu Yi.
As for the literati, they did not expect that these common people could do anything to Chu Yi. Their purpose was to completely ruin Chu Yi's reputation and make Chu Yi notorious in the south of the Yangtze River.
At this moment, Chu Fang appeared out of nowhere and whispered words in Chu Yi's ear. After hearing this, Chu Yi slightly raised the corner of his mouth and said slowly: "You really don't know whether to live or die, let someone write down their identities.
"
Chu Fang nodded slightly.
After a while, Cao Shaoqin looked at the time and said: "Supervisor, it's three quarters past noon!"
Chu Yi opened his eyes, a chill flashed through him and he slowly stood up. His eyes scanned the criminals who were kneeling on the ground below. They were Wu Jingbo, the Hu family, and other direct members of dozens of families. There were countless in total.
As many as a hundred.
It was more than twice as many as the Zhou family and others killed by Chu Yi previously combined.
Such a dark scene of people kneeling there waiting to be beheaded is a sight that many people will never see in their lifetimes. So when Chu Yi stood up, the surrounding area suddenly became quiet. Everyone opened their eyes wide and looked at each other.
He looked at Chu Yi.
Chu Yi personally oversaw the beheading, stretched out his hand to take out the token and threw it down, saying slowly: "Verify that you are correct and behead!"
There was a row of dozens of axemen carrying ghost-headed swords, and then they saw the sword fall. Wu Jingbo and others, who had been yelling at Chu Yi just a moment ago, rolled their heads to the ground one by one, and their bodies fell to the ground.
"Ah, kill...kill someone..."
"Butcher, what a butcher!"
Seeing the criminals being beheaded one by one, the people who came to watch the excitement could not help but tremble and feel terrified, especially when they thought that they had previously echoed those scholars who said bad things about Chu Yi, a murderer like Chu Yi.
If the crazy demon knew about it, wouldn't it mean that he would be captured and his head chopped off?
Thinking of this, many people who had heard those scholars slandering Chu Yi distanced themselves from those scholars one by one, fearing that they would be implicated.
Those literati who were enthusiastic about slandering Chu Yi couldn't help but feel a little confused at this moment, but when they saw the distance in these people's eyes and the fear when they looked at Chu Yi, they suddenly became confused.
Come to understand.
They portrayed Chu Yi in such a terrible way. In addition, Chu Yi massacred hundreds of people and the scene of hundreds of people being beheaded was scary enough, but they also tried hard to instill in these people how great Chu Yi was.
How cruel and murderous, but the result was not bad. They did discredit Chu Yi, but they also completely suppressed these people.
Not to mention hoping that these people would one day respond to them and deal with Chu Yi, it left such an indelible shadow in their hearts. I am afraid that in the future they will be afraid of Chu Yi when they hear his name.
On some high-rise buildings around the execution ground, there are many gentry and nobles in Nanjing City. Naturally, they will not crowd in the crowd like the common people, so these people are now in these attics.
Standing on the attic and looking far away, you can see the scene on the execution ground from a distance. In the past, many people also secretly hated Wu Jingbo, but now, watching Wu Jingbo's family being beheaded, everyone is for it.
sigh.
So what if he is as powerful as Wu Jingbo? In Nanjing City, except for a few families, which one can compare with Wu Jingbo? It can be said that if you need money and people, dozens of capable servants in the mansion are enough.
The one who charged into the battle was defeated by Chu Yi so easily. In the end, millions of dollars in property and the whole house were lost.
A powerful man looked at Chu Yi with a hint of fear in his eyes and said: "Send him away, no matter what, I must send this murderer away from Jiangnan!"
They didn't know what Chu Yi would do or whether he would go on a killing spree. After so many encounters, many people were really scared. They just felt that if Chu Yi stayed in Nanjing for a day, they would spend more time there.
One more day to linger before the gate of hell.
"Your Excellencies, the memorial to impeach Chu Yi has been rushed to the capital for eight hundred miles. If nothing else happens, it should be in front of the Emperor's case."
"The old prince personally reported to the emperor that the day Chu Yi returned to the capital was the day when he died!"
"I hope that all the princes in the court can force your majesty to recall Chu Yi, the murderer, to the capital. If he is allowed to stay in the capital, I wonder which other family will suffer his murderous murder!"
A powerful man said in a low voice: "It's such a pity that the head of the Zhou family colluded with the Japanese Ronin and even used powerful crossbows in the army. In the end, Chu Yi's fur was not even hurt. Could this Chu Yi really be like this?"
Can’t you kill him?”
