The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 659 Nervous Excitement
Wu Yi vacated more than a dozen wheelbarrows, and arranged 100 people and less than [-] cavalry gathered by Cao Bianjiao to escort Cao Wenzhao and a dozen seriously wounded people to Tongguan.

Tongguan is Ma Shihu's defense area, and it is also a key stronghold arranged by the Huang family. There are more than a dozen doctors trained by the Huang family working in a hospital.

The surgeon will treat the wound again, and then decide whether to send it to Haizhou Port immediately according to the suffering of the wounded.

Wu Yi didn't go back, he still has to move on, because Shaanxi is once again ravaged by bandits and government troops, and the number of hungry refugees will increase sharply, Wu Yi still has to do his best to save the people from the fire and water.

He also wanted to gather up the scattered Cao Wenzhao's old troops as much as possible, and Cao Bianjiao left thirty uninjured cavalry to help gather up the remnants.

The imperial envoy sent by the emperor was Liu Ruozai, the same year of Huang Sheng. When he brought a hundred Dongchang and Jinyiwei to find Zuo Liangyu, the thief general was being condemned by the victims in the suburbs of Luoyang.

For a few months, the common people in the Central Plains rushed to tell the story that the thief general was captured, which was extremely exciting. Too many people whose relatives were tragically murdered by Zuo Liangyu's tribe came to identify the murderer, and the squires were not in the minority.

The mode of exposing crimes by letting victims avenge and avenge their hatred was pioneered by the Huang family, which is too eye-catching and empathetic.

Commanders from all walks of life in the army have experienced the methods under the command of the "God of War", and too many officers and soldiers have been invited to the scene of criticism and emulation.

The once invincible Zuo Zongbing became a prisoner, huddled into a ball and knelt on the ground, being abused by Shengdou's common people, which made the officers and soldiers shudder.

The education effect is remarkable, and there are very few officers and soldiers who dare to kill good people and take meritorious service.

With the support of the "God of War", the common people became much more courageous. When officers and soldiers came, they no longer knelt down and begged for mercy, but confronted them with rakes, hoes, and sickles.

Ordinary people are often able to make the officers and soldiers give up their ghost thoughts of massacre and looting, "A few of our descendants have already run away, as long as one of them survives to see the command of the 'God of War', you will suffer retribution."

"Thieves pass like a comb, soldiers pass like a grate, and officials pass like a shave." The common phenomenon in the Central Plains has been greatly improved, and officers and soldiers no longer dare to be arrogant.

Completely deterring officers and soldiers by force cannot fundamentally solve the problem. Officers and soldiers also need rations and have the right to survive.

It is understandable that they are forced to rob for their livelihood. After all, it is the Huang family who would rather starve to death than rob the common people.

In every military operation of Huang Sheng, the soldiers and horses went first before the food and grass were used, and it was impossible for his army to face the plight of starving to death.

But the Ming government was so fucked up that the officers and soldiers might starve to death if they didn't grab food, so the Huang family also sent a lot of food to the officers and soldiers to solve their food problem.

At the end of May, Liu Ruozai, the imperial envoy, came to Luoyang to read the imperial decree, and the imperial court wanted to escort Zuo Liangyu and others to the capital to interrogate.

There was an uproar in the Central Plains for a while, and the people in Henan would never agree to escort Zuo Liangyu to the capital. They wanted to witness the death of Zuo Liangyu and a group of executioners with their own eyes.

Jin Yiwei and Dongchang led the Henan local army to escort dozens of dog cages and more than 300 criminals and had to stop as soon as they were on the road.

Because the road was blocked, tens of thousands of ordinary people adopted a non-violent non-cooperative attitude and knelt on the ground to block the way.

The common people were worried about the imperial court and worried that Zuo Liangyu would be released by the imperial court, so they knelt down and begged the imperial envoy to report to the emperor, asking the emperor to order Zuo Liangyu to be executed on the spot.

The common people are so united, of course it is the result of Xu Sijiu's propaganda team behind the scenes.

The common people did not violently resist the law, but jointly knelt and begged for an order to execute Zuo Liangyu in Henan.

Faced with the gathering of more and more common people, the emperor's army had nothing to do, so Liu Ruozai could only send six hundred miles to report to the court in an urgent manner.

After all, Liu Ruozai was born at the second place in the list. Of course, it wasn't Huang Sheng who got in the way. He is the No. [-] scholar, and his literary talent is really good.

A memorandum pleading for the people's life was written with hype. After reading it, Emperor Chongzhen thought it was true.

Another half month later, Liu Ruozai received the imperial decree and executed the criminals in Kaifeng Mansion.

Zuo Liangyu and more than a dozen vicious accomplices were sentenced to skin and grass, his son and more than 100 accomplices were sentenced to be cut in half, and more than 200 accomplices were sentenced to death.

Liu Ruozai had read the books of sages and sages, Jinshi and the first degree, he had read hundreds of cases, and hated Zuo Liangyu to the bone, he firmly believed that the disaster in the Central Plains was because Daming was a scum like Zuo Liangyu.

As an imperial envoy, he summoned Henan Wenwu to observe the Fa-rectification Zuo Liangyu and others, hoping to deter Xiaoxiao.

The bloody execution ground is shocking. Many military officers who committed crimes and feigned meritorious deeds watched the criminal generals being swallowed alive by the vengeful common people.

There is no doubt that killing the thief general is very satisfying.The common people cheered, "Long live the Holy Son of Heaven! Long live the Son of Heaven!" The sound of gratitude was endless. Of course, Xu Sijiu and the others asked the common people to shout slogans to thank the Son of Heaven.

On the day of the execution, there were more than a thousand murderers who had several bloody cases accompanied them. These people were not sentenced to beheaded by the court, but directly beheaded by military law.

After dealing with the most heinous culprits, it was their turn to behead these prostitutes. The sharp ghost knives were raised high, and the prostitutes who had long lost their vigor closed their eyes and waited for death.

At this moment, Zu Kuan said loudly: "God has the virtue of loving life, whether you can live or not depends on God's will, come and bring ten people here."

The ten women were untied and brought to kneel in front of Zu Kuan, without knowing why.

Zu Kuan said: "My lord Qiongya County has pity on the common people, and I will give you damned people a chance to redeem yourself. Take ten out of ten and kill three of them. You can draw lots, and you will draw lots for those students whose heads are painted red. After that, they will work hard for reformation through labor. Black death, don't complain about bad luck."

A woman knew that there was [-]% chance of survival, she tremblingly closed her eyes and drew out a lottery, she dared not open her eyes to look at it.

The onlookers laughed and cursed: "Damn, red sign, this bastard is lucky."

The girl was trembling all over, opened his eyes and looked at the lottery in his hand, it was indeed red, he laughed out loud, laughed hard, collapsed while laughing.

The onlookers couldn't help laughing when they saw the virtue of the woman who was left alive. Everyone was curious about this approach and felt it was so fucking exciting.

The women who were about to be drawn by lot to decide their life and death, couldn't bear the stimulation, went crazy for dozens of times, and finally beheaded 20 feet, and more than [-] women were left alive. They will be sent to Iwo Jima to mine sulfur for [-] years.

Of course, if you behave well, you will get a commutation of your sentence, you may not be allowed to marry a wife, but the woman will not be Han Chinese, it is very likely that she will be a Japanese mother-in-law.

Having dealt with the thief general who wanted to kill people, the next step for Li Xihan, Zu Kuan and the others is to deal with the murderous demon Zhang Xianzhong.

This task is much more difficult than capturing Zuo Liangyu. The reason why rogues are called rogues is because they roam around committing crimes. It is not easy to track them down and capture their leader.
