Chapter 100 Liu Bowen, your end may be even worse. After all, life is worse than death.

"Liu Ji."

"Luben."

"Can you plead guilty?"

Zhu Biao looked at Liu Bowen and Lu Ben, his eyes were as warm as ever, but the coldness under his smile could not be concealed.

Feeling the coldness in Zhu Biao's eyes, Liu Bowen seemed to have aged dozens of years in an instant.

He originally thought that the matter was kept secret, and that no one else who could know would tell.

After all, eastern Zhejiang, Jiangnan, and Huaixi are all involved in this matter.

But I never thought that to this day, Liao Yongzhong would almost die together in this way, dragging Mr. Zhedong and Mr. Jiangnan to die together.

And Yang Xian, he lost everything in the end!

"Ha ha."

"The evidence is irrefutable and the truth is clear. I am speechless. The plan to drown Xiao Ming Wang is indeed my fault. I am willing to obey the punishment of Your Majesty and His Royal Highness."

A hint of bitterness flashed in Liu Bowen's eyes, and then he shook his head again.

Let him, Liu Bowen, keep all his secrets and always lower his sense of presence in the court, hoping to become an official. This can be considered as a complete expose of the matter.

Or perhaps, he, Liu Bowen, had thought that such a day might come, but he didn't expect that this day would come so quickly.

"I am willing to listen to your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's punishment."

Lu Ben also lowered his head and said the same words as Liu Bowen.

Things have reached this point, everything has been exposed because of Liao Yongzhong and Yang Xian, and any explanation at this time is useless.

"Mr. Qingtian."

"Master Liu!"

"We really didn't expect that at that most critical moment, it was you who stabbed us in the back!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Liu Bowen with complicated eyes, full of disappointment.

"Your Majesty, you have already made some assumptions in your mind, haven't you?"

Liu Bowen smiled bitterly. It was not too much to make him a prince based on his merits, but Zhu Yuanzhang only gave him a title of uncle. How could Liu Bowen not understand the information contained in it, given his intelligence?
Lao Zhu had suspected him for a long time, but he didn't want to reveal the matter at this point, so he beat him.

After all, the relationship between monarch and minister is equal. Therefore, Liu Bowen was more happy to take over this count than to be a duke. He tried to reduce his presence in the court and tried to find ways to eliminate the conflict between the Mr. Literary Group and the Huaixi Group. At least, he did not let this conflict affect him. Explodes while still alive.

Unexpectedly, the tree wanted to be quiet but the wind was not stopping. Although Liu Bowen had no intention of leading the eastern Zhejiang party to compete with the Huaixi nobles, how could the people below be so obedient?

When the Yang Xian Dongchuang incident happened, Liu Bowen realized that something was going to happen.

After all, killing the Nine Clans would be equivalent to cutting off Yang Xian's thoughts.

What can't Yang Xian, who is already crazy, do?
In addition, Xiao Han went out of Beijing on a snowy night, and Liao Yongzhong requested an order to die.

How can the Jiangnan Civil Service Group and the East Zhejiang Party survive?

"Mr. Bowen, what do you want us to say?"

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and looked at Liu Bowen.

"I have nothing to ask for, but I wish to die. I just hope that Your Majesty can spare the lives of the Liu family and the whole family for the sake of past kindness. In the next life, I will weave a ring of grass to repay you!"

Liu Bowen lowered his head. He no longer had the high-spiritedness and guidance of Mr. Qingtian.

With Liu Bowen's stability-seeking character, he was naturally unwilling to do these things.

It's a pity that he was born here and was on the cusp of the wave. He couldn't help himself. Even if Liu Bowen didn't want to do some things, the people around him would push him to complete them.

"Tell us, who is leading this matter?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were dancing with the slightest sparkle.

"Ugh!"

"Several families in eastern Zhejiang and Jiangnan were involved. When Wei Chen went to the party that day, he knew that he had entered the game."

Liu Bowen sighed softly, and then reported the names of several families. At this point, it was easy for Zhu Yuanzhang to find out who organized that party, and there was no need to hide it anymore.

"So, were you forced?"

Zhu Biao stared at Liu Bowen, as if he wanted to see through the heart of Mr. Qingtian, who was as scheming as Xiao Han.

Liu Ji, Liu Bowen, and Mr. Qingtian all contributed to Sheji. If it had not been for Xiao Han's emergence.

So the second half of the sentence "Zhuge Liang divides the world into three parts" should be "Liu Bowen unifies the country". It can be seen that Liu Bowen's ability is one of the top people of the era.

Even in this life, Liu Bowen's light was to a large extent eclipsed by Xiao Han, a young counselor who emerged from nowhere, but he also played a significant role in Zhu Yuanzhang's path to unification.

"Biao'er, you conspired to commit regicide and committed rebellion. According to our Ming law, what kind of punishment should you be punished?"

Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes slightly and asked Zhu Biao beside him.

"Committing rebellion and plotting regicide is a serious crime of rebellion. According to the law, the nine clans must be joined together."

Zhu Biao spoke calmly and read out the laws of the Ming Dynasty, which directly determined the outcome for several major families in eastern Zhejiang and Jiangnan.

"Go ahead."

"Those who participate in this will implicate the nine tribes!"

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced casually, then spoke calmly and made his final verdict.

"promise!"

Zhu Biao responded slightly, and suddenly groups of guards outside the palace rushed up with weapons in hand and pounced on the officials from the eastern Zhejiang aristocratic families and the Jiangnan literati group.

"Your Majesty, I am wronged! I am wronged!"

"Your Majesty, I was wrong. I know I was wrong. You don't care about merit, but also about hard work. Spare my life! Spare my life!"

"Zhu Yuanzhang! You will not end well! Your Zhu family will not end well! You are so cruel, cruel and wanton, and sooner or later you will be like Meng Yuan! I am waiting for you below!"

"His Majesty…"

...

Under the cold light of the guards' swords and shadows, a group of court officials who were originally above all living beings appeared.

Some people shouted that they were wronged and tried to get away with it.

Some people knelt down and begged for mercy, crying.

Some people were adamant and cursed directly.

...

Of course, no matter what they did, they could not change their fate of being confiscated and exterminated.

Fengtian weapons appeared, and heads rolled in like a tide!

On this day, when blood flows like a river in Fengtian Palace, Ming Dynasty will end the case of Xiao Ming King Han Lin'er in the most bloody way.

At the same time, it was also the blood of these gentlemen from eastern Zhejiang and the literati from Jiangnan that paved the way for Ming Dynasty’s new monetary policy.

The swords of the Ming Dynasty are still sharp. This Yingtian Mansion should be named Zhu, and not just a young man can have ulterior motives and attempt to subvert it.

Bang bang bang!
Groups of Ming Dynasty sergeants rushed into each mansion. Mr. Zhejiang and Jiangnan civil officials were not all Song Lian and Liu Bowen.

Most of these people came from powerful families with heirlooms of poetry and calligraphy, and each of them was extremely wealthy. The collapse of dynasties and the demise of dynasties were mostly caused by this group of people's unscrupulous annexation of land from the people.

"Bold! Who are you? Do you know this is the Su family..."

"Asshole! The head of my family belongs to the imperial court..."

...

In each aristocratic family, the Ming Dynasty's swords and soldiers were approaching, but they were still arrogant and domineering. The vermilion door was knocked to pieces, but the arrogance in their hearts could not be broken.

There is no dynasty that lasts for a thousand years, but there are many aristocratic families that last for a thousand years.

Perhaps, in the eyes of these people, whether it is the Meng Yuan or the Ming Dynasty, they are just passing clouds that can be wiped out in an instant.

Therefore, even though the power of these aristocratic families was no longer as strong as during the Tang and Song Dynasties, their political influence in the court was still not weak.

It's a pity that in the Ming Dynasty, let alone the weakened aristocratic families, even if they are strengthened, so what?
In the Ming Dynasty, we will not share the world with the scholar-bureaucrats, but share the world with the common people.

Daming's surname was Zhu, not a fat pig waiting to be slaughtered in the pen, but the bloody vermilion that represented the blood spurting from the necks of those who dared to lie on Daming's body to suck blood.

In the Yingtianfu Vegetable Market, rows and rows of people gathered around. These people were forcibly stripped of their original brocade clothes and knelt here in tattered prison uniforms.

"Zhu Yuanzhang! You are ungrateful!"

"Zhu Yuanzhang, you beast!"

"Woooooo!"

"Zhu Yuanzhang, just wait for death! If you don't stop killing the literati in the world, you will be overthrown by my Confucian disciples sooner or later!"

...

One by one, the officials realized that all this was completely irreversible, and they all followed the Jiangnan Civil Service Group representative who had been scolding him from the beginning.

Anyway, the nine tribes have already been implicated, how could it be more serious?
As a result, in the noisy vegetable market, apart from crying, there were only curses.

"Have everyone been arrested?"

Zhu Yuanzhang yawned slightly. These scoldings went in one ear and out the other. He was just a clown. He didn't even think about getting angry.

Of course, last night Zhu Yuanzhang hugged our Queen Ma and cried for a long time, so today he will naturally not be too uncomfortable.

"Report to Emperor Qi." "All the nine clans involved in planning Prince Xiao Ming's family have been captured. Their families are basically in Yingtian, so they are easy to catch."

"As for those who are not in Yingtian and need to be implicated, they cannot escape. This knife will make up for them later."

Zhu Xi cupped his hands towards Zhu Yuanzhang and said.

"That's good, don't miss any one."

Zhu Yuanzhang spoke lightly.

"promise!"

Zhu Ping saluted.

"Biao'er, how long until noon?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was wrapped in his robe, looked at the heavy snow in the sky, and said softly.

"There are still two quarters of an hour before we can return to my father."

Zhu Biao replied to Zhu Yuanzhang that this time it was rare that he and Zhu Yuanzhang had the same opinions, and the Nine Clans Xiaoxiaole must arrange a wave.

"Well, let the executioner prepare. It's about to begin. Today, we must make this vegetable market a river of blood. We will let those with evil intentions remember today forever!"

"As long as they dare to reach out, everything here will be their fate!"

Zhu Yuanzhang spoke indifferently. He had seen too many lives and deaths. Killing thousands of people was just a small scene.

"Wait."

"Initiate Your Majesty."

"The minister has the original play."

At this moment, Xiao Han on the side raised his eyes, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and cupped his hands.

"Ok?"

Zhu Yuanzhang, who wanted to give the order, was slightly stunned on the spot. Then he looked at Xiao Han, nodded slightly and said: "Play."

"His Majesty."

"Wei Chen wants to say that killing the Nine Tribes, even though it can scare Bu Chen, is too easy for them."

"Therefore, I would like to ask Your Majesty to issue an order. All the officials who committed crimes will be killed only as the culprits, and all the remaining family members will be distributed to contribute to the construction of our Ming Dynasty."

"In this way, Ming Dynasty can save a lot of labor, which is also a good thing for the people."

Xiao Han raised his eyes, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, and cupped his hands slightly.

These things are too cheap to reach out and make them cheap, so it is better to distribute their family members and make them the lowest form of labor.

After all, being humiliated makes the people cheer even more than that knife!
"can."

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment, then showed a smile, but then, his eyes became gloomy for a moment, and he said softly: "But Lu Ben will never let go, including his nine tribes. This bitch is simply unworthy of our trust. We will never let him go." I can’t bear it!”

"According to the order!"

Without even thinking about it, Xiao Han looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, bowed and smiled.

indeed.

Lu Ben had to die, and even the egg yolks had to be shaken away by him, not to mention the nine tribes of Lu Ben.

"kindness."

"The execution order is sent."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, waved his hand, and then the imperial edict came out!

"Execution!"

"Execution!"

...

The eunuch responsible for conveying the imperial edict ran out, and his high-pitched voice continued to echo.

Clang!Clang!Clang!
A machete with a sharp polished handle was unsheathed and slowly advanced towards the family members involved in the turmoil in Yingtian Mansion.

The scoldings about this matter have gradually subsided, and only a few weak sentences floated out from time to time. They seemed so weak and powerless in front of Ming's butcher's knife.

"Zhu Yuanzhang, you"

"Pfft!"

The official who was scolding him at the beginning seemed to be extremely tough. He scolded from the beginning to the end. In the end, with the sound of the sharp knife piercing the flesh, a bullet flew up high and the blood shot out three feet high. The curse was also heard. It stopped abruptly, and the angry expression still remained on the flying head.

puff!puff!
Heads flew high into the sky, and streaks of blood spurted out from their necks, like salutes, turning the floor of the market completely red in an instant.

Among the people watching outside the venue, many people were directly spattered with blood because they were so close. There were even children covering their eyes in horror, but more adults either applauded or were numb.

Zhu Yuanzhang had ruled the world for only a few years. Except for the children who had grown up in the past few years, some of the older people were used to killing people. Compared with this kind of execution, the figures that could be seen all over the street were dead people. It feels even more creepy.

"Grumble!"

Heads are rolling on the ground, men, women, old and young, desperate and angry. It is hard to imagine that these heads rolling randomly on the ground were still arrogant literati with their nostrils pointing to the sky not long ago. The dynasty changed but they remained unchanged. They were still riding horses. The tycoons from aristocratic families who lord it over the common people are also wealthy landlords who own countless land tenants.

But at this time, blood was flowing and heads were falling to the ground. In a short time, the heads in the vegetable market had piled up into hills.

"Biao'er, did you see it?"

"These are the people who control a lot of wealth, but they are rich and unkind. They annex land, they oppress the people, they kill endlessly, and they destroy the world. They even dare to blatantly plot against us in order to protect their own interests."

"And if our Ming Dynasty does not share the world with the scholar-bureaucrats and the common people, we cannot be polite to them."

Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out his finger and pointed at the pile of heads in front of him.

"What the father said is that my son has learned a lesson."

"But I still feel that the nine implicated clans have indeed passed."

"From now on, it's enough to implicate the three clans. The rest will be used as slaves as Feng Xue said. If anything happens, it will save me, Daming, and then recruit them for labor, right?"

Zhu Biao nodded, indicating that he had listened to Zhu Yuanzhang's teachings, but he did not fully agree.

Xiao Han's mouth twitched when he heard this conversation. Sure enough, both father and son were equally cruel.

One advocated killing them all, the other advocated stopping them in moderation, and the rest squeezed out the remaining value.

But what does this have to do with Xiao Han?
Damn it, damn it!

Squeezing out the remaining value is already an act of mercy outside the law, what else do you want?
But then, Xiao Han raised his eyes again and looked in the direction of Ming's Death Cell, with a playful smile on his lips.

Liu Bowen, your end may be even worse. After all, life is worse than death.

Death is not a pity,

In Ming Dynasty's death row, Liu Bowen was wearing tattered prison uniforms and his eyes were a little dazed.

"Squeak!"

"Liu Ji, Mr. Liu, it's time to go out."

The door to the death row was opened, and a vicious jailer spoke coldly.

Have you arrived at their Liu house?
After all, no credit can compare to a single betrayal, but it is true that love is deep and responsibility is deep. It would have been better if everything was not carefully investigated. But now that it has been investigated, how much Zhu Yuanzhang thought highly of himself before, now he hates him so much. Just yourself, after all, I, Mr. Qingtian, almost directly stabbed Zhu Yuanzhang in the back, the emperor who trusted me all the way.

"Liu Ji takes the order!"

A high-pitched voice sounded, and Li Heng, the prince's internal officer, held a volume of imperial edict and stood in front of Liu Bowen, who had just walked out of the prison.

"The guilty minister Liu Ji, accept the order!"

Liu Bowen knelt on the ground and paid homage to Li Heng who was holding Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial edict. He was about to come, and soon, he and the Liu family would be executed.

"Liu Ji is sincere and participated in the assassination of King Xiao Ming. He played an important role in it and brought shame to Ming Dynasty!"

"But the overall success of expelling the Tartars and restoring the Han Dynasty cannot be fully accomplished. The evidence is conclusive. It is an unforgivable crime and an unforgivable crime."

Li Heng's voice echoed in the death row, but Liu Bowen showed a relieved smile on his face.

Yes, if it weren't for his own planning, maybe that group of people wouldn't be so successful. Maybe the Ming Dynasty should inherit the Song Dynasty instead of the Yuan Dynasty. He is a sinner of the Han family, so how can he have any extravagant hopes?
Perhaps, in this imperial edict, calling himself "Uncle Sincerity" at the end is an affirmation of his past achievements and good performance.

"I think that he is not the mastermind, and he has made great achievements along the way. Now I am depriving Liu Ji of his title, and the whole family is assigned to Lingnan. I appreciate this!"

Li Heng's voice continued to ring out, reaching Liu Bowen's ears.

"Sin, guilty minister Liu Bowen, thank you for your forgiveness! Thank you for your forgiveness!"

Liu Bowen raised his head in disbelief, his pupils trembling slightly, he couldn't believe his ears.

You know, those other families were all implicated in the Nine Clans, but Zhu Yuanzhang actually let him go in the end.

Although they need to be assigned to guard the border in Lingnan, such a serious crime will invalidate even the gold medal for immunity from death. What if the Liu family will protect the border for the Ming Dynasty for generations in the future?

This is just mercy outside the law, so what else can you ask for?

"Thank you, Your Majesty, my guilty servant! Thank you, Your Highness, the Crown Prince!"

Liu Bowen received the order to thank him, and for a moment, he had an endless yearning for the barren mountains and mountains of Lingnan. To others, it was a hell of fate, but to him, it was a paradise of rebirth!
But Liu Bowen forgot that excitement can make people's minds unclear. For such a serious crime, even death will be difficult to atone for it.

Then why did Lao Zhu let Liu Bowen go?

Is it really because of Liu Bowen’s contribution?

"By the way, Liu Ji."

Li Heng, who turned around and was about to leave, paused again, then turned around to look at Liu Bowen and said coldly: "Marquis Suning asked you to go to the Marquis Mansion, so don't waste time."
