Chapter 98 EXECUTION

Dang clang, clang clang.

The government officer who opened the way rang the gong, and the victims who were frightened by the sound of the gongs and drums climbed up from their shacks. They were surprised to see a huge team of prison cars slowly approaching.

The prison car represented the government, and their curious eyes gradually turned to fear. Because they clearly saw that someone in the prison car had their hands and feet locked, with only his head exposed. I don’t know who it was that got the officials into trouble again and got caught.

"Now, Li Tai, the same aide as Fuzhou, Jiangxi Province!"

"Transfer Zhang Wenyi!"

"We embezzled the imperial court's food relief supplies, corrupted the people, and enriched our own pockets."

"Fuzhou's government officials colluded with each other, making it impossible for the affected people to relocate."

"It was found out that two people secretly exchanged 70,000 dan for the imperial court's disaster food.

"Corrupted the imperial court to provide relief to officials, thirty-one thousand two hundred taels."

Beside the prison car, a group of guards in uniforms pulled their necks and shouted, reciting the crimes of the prisoners in the prison car.

In an instant, the frightened eyes of the people changed into joyful hatred. They slowly gathered around, and soon the open space outside the city was filled with people.

"The imperial envoy King Wu is aware of everything!" The prison car was still moving, and the Jin Yiwei continued to shout, "As ordered, the thirty-two people below Li Tai and Zhang Wenyi will be punished according to the canon and asked to behead!"

The crowd was quiet for a moment, then suddenly erupted into earth-shattering calls.

"Good!" A good word echoes between heaven and earth, and in people's hearts.

The common people are the smartest people in the world, and they see the court and the country most clearly. They know exactly who are the good guys and who are the bad guys, but they just don’t dare to say it. But if they are given the power and opportunity to express, they will use the simplest words to tell the world.

"Hit him!" Suddenly, a voice rang out from the crowd. Several young teenagers picked up the stones on the ground and rushed to the prison car to beat him.

In the blink of an eye, countless dirt and rocks fell on the prison cart with a crackling sound. The prisoners in the prison car were bruised and swollen before they even reached their destination.

Even the guards and soldiers following the prison car were affected. He dodged awkwardly, protecting his head and face.

"Thankfully we didn't follow the prison car!" Xie Jin said with a smile at the end of the team, "Otherwise we would have been beaten too!"

"The crowd is furious!" Tie Xuan said concisely.

Zhu Yunxi, who was riding a war horse and surrounded by guards, was thoughtful.

This is not the first time this has happened in this ancient country, but it will definitely not be the last. As a time traveler, what is the most important thing when I come to this world?

The most important thing is to take advantage of your own vision to improve people's livelihood and let people live a good life. He does not know any inventions or creations, nor does he understand any economic laws. But he has a generous heart that cares about the people and loves the people more than most people in this era.

At this time, the prison car arrived on the makeshift execution platform. The prisoners in the car were carried like pigs by several people and placed under the guillotine.

It's really a guillotine, a large knife used to cut grass. Fuzhou City couldn't find that many executioners, so they simply drew a team of elite soldiers from the Ganzhou Guards to execute the execution.

The victims and civilians swarmed to the stage like a tide. If the officers and soldiers of the Ganzhou Guard had not tried their best to stop them, they would have probably rushed up and eaten these stupid and incompetent corrupt officials alive.

"King Wu has arrived at his thousandth birthday!"

"Greetings to King Wu!"

As the Jin Yiwei shouted, the people and soldiers in the audience knelt down. Zhu Yunxi slowly took off his cloak, revealing the golden five-clawed dragon robe underneath.

Then he held the hem of his skirt in his left hand, clenched his right hand into a fist and put it behind his waist, and slowly but powerfully walked up to the execution platform.

"Wu Wang ordered, get up!"

After the soldiers shouted to get up, the civilians and victims stood up in fear. But as soon as they looked up, the crowd seemed to be shocked by the dragon robe on Zhu Yunxi's body, and they all retreated like the ebbing tide.

"Common people, I am King Wu Zhu Yunxi!"

Zhu Yunxi looked at the people under the high platform and said loudly, "I was ordered by Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty to inspect the disaster in Jiangxi. At the beginning of the disaster, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty had already issued an edict to mobilize military rations in Wuchang and reserve official silver for the relief of the victims. And I have repeatedly said that no common people should die of cold or hunger!"

On the high platform, Zhu Yunxi's voice spread through the air through a simple loudspeaker. The common people slowly came closer and listened carefully.

"But the food and money from the court have come, but the people are still hungry and cold. Some people even robbed the official food and gathered to cause chaos!"

Zhu Yunxi's eyes were bright and he continued, "What caused all this is the parents and officials in Fuzhou. These people are so greedy that they even dare to steal your life-saving money and food."

With that said, Zhu Yunxi shouted loudly, "I have said nonsense. Today, I will use their heads to give you an explanation for the evil in your heart. I will use their heads to give you and all the people of Ming Dynasty an explanation!"

Then, Zhu Yunxi suddenly turned around and said to the officers and soldiers who were executing, "Kill!"

puff! A mouthful of strong liquor was sprayed on the sharp guillotine.

Pooh! A spittle was spat on the back of the corrupt official's neck.

The execution soldiers first wiped the guillotine, and then rubbed the white and tender necks of the corrupt officials.

The officials on the guillotine, their hands and feet bound and their mouths gagged, could only cry and sob.

"Kill!" Zhu Yunxi shouted again.

With a click, the guillotine raised high fell down, and everyone's sight was filled with splashes of bright red blood, and heads jumping all over the ground with their eyes open.

Thump, thump.

The head of Li Tai, a fellow magistrate from Fuzhou, bounced twice on the high platform, then suddenly rolled down the platform and landed at the feet of the people watching the execution.

Immediately, the people around him retreated in horror, not daring to look at the head that still had its eyes open.

At this moment, a young man came out of the crowd, his young face full of ferocity.

"Fuck you!" His shoeless foot kicked Li Tai's head away like a ball.

Then, in the midst of lightning and flint, countless people rushed towards the spot where Li Tai's head fell. You kick me and I kick, kick, kick, kick.

Zhu Yunxi smiled and waved his hand, "Second batch!"

Then the second batch of officials who should be beheaded were dragged to the stage.

At this time, the audience was full of people. They looked at the guillotine of corrupt officials with scorching eyes.

"Kill!" Another command was given, and heads were flying again.

However, this time, no heads rolled down into the crowd of people, which made them a little disappointed.

After everyone was finished killing, Zhu Yunxi turned around and walked towards the back of the high platform.

But as soon as he took a step, there was a neat sound of bowing from behind.

May the King of Wu live for a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand thousand years.

A smile appeared on Zhu Yunxi's face and he walked behind the high platform.

There was an attic there. Yuan Wenqing, who had just watched dozens of officials beheaded, was already as doughy as dough, unsteady on his feet and covered in cold sweat.

"Governor Yuan, was that scene enjoyable?" Zhu Yunxi asked jokingly.

Yuan Wenqing was horrified, "Your Highness, I...did I really make an oversight?"

"Jinyiwei searched Li Tai's house and found the account books of his filial piety to you over the years." Zhu Yunxi patted the other party's well-maintained and round cheeks,

"You old boy buys seven or eight Yangzhou thin horses a year? Tsk tsk, you are happier than Grandpa Huang!" (Yangzhou thin horses are high-end!)

As he said that, Zhu Yunxi wiped his hands on the other party's body in disgust, "You said he was wronged? Go and stay in the Jinyiwei Prison in Beijing!"
