Chapter 183 The irritable judge, interrogating a gentleman with a gun to his head!
"yes!"
Lu Cheng responded, and began to take Xia Yunyi, most of the officials under the governor, to organize the people.
Xia Yunyi himself pulled out his flintlock pistol, walked towards Cheng Jinyuan and Cheng Jincai, and asked, "What are your names and what are your achievements?"
"Student Cheng Jinyuan, the government school is multiplying, Shangguan, please forgive me!"
"The next official, Cheng Jincai, has no fame, and is an inspector in this county."
The two replied one after another.
Xia Yunyi said after hearing this: "It turns out that he is the grandson of Cheng Shilang from the household department."
Then, Xia Yunyi asked again: "Why did the prefect Tufu Yin appointed by the imperial court and two other court officials be imprisoned in the prison car? They still wear such heavy shackles! Who gave you the power, tell me!"
Cheng Jinyuan and Cheng Jincai glanced at each other, both trembling and afraid to answer.
boom!
Xia Yunyi directly pulled the trigger.
Cheng Jincai was shot in the head first, and fell directly to the ground, his head was running, and his brains flowed out, causing Cheng Jinyuan, who was beside him, to be dumbfounded on the spot.
"explain!"
Xia Yunyi then directly put his hand on Cheng Jinyuan's forehead.
Cheng Jinyuan had no choice but to reply truthfully: "It was King Lu and the others who ordered it, it was King Lu who ordered it! He said that he would sleep on his skin and eat his flesh. We just obeyed orders!"
"Do you dare to listen to an order against the king? It's even a matter of murdering the court officials. You guys, isn't this treason?"
Xia Yunyi pulled the trigger again after asking.
boom!
Cheng Jinyuan also fell to the ground.
Xia Yunyi then got up and said: "The Cheng family conspired against you! The evidence is conclusive! Exterminate the family directly, leaving no one in the family. After the killing, the Cheng family's fields will be divided first!"
"yes!"
The messenger of the first standard battalion immediately held up the command flag and ran towards Lulu: "Zhongcheng has an order, the Cheng family plots rebellion, and directly destroys the family. After the killing, the Cheng family's fields will be divided first!"
"There is an order from Zhongcheng, the Cheng family plots against them, and the family will be wiped out immediately. After the killing, the Cheng family's fields will be divided first!"
"There is an order from Zhongcheng, the Cheng family plots against them, and the family will be wiped out immediately. After the killing, the Cheng family's fields will be divided first!"
…
As the voice of the messenger gradually faded away, Xia Yunyi's Biaoying No. 1 official school was getting closer and closer to Cheng's mansion.
At this time, Cheng Mansion has gathered many gentry and virtuous people from Wen County.
These people were invited by Cheng Hushen, and they were going to watch the execution later, that is, to observe the scene of the torture of several academicians of Xilin Academy who were sent by the imperial court to serve as officials in Wen County.
Cheng Hushen smiled at these gentry and sages at this time and said: "The dog has already detained these traitors, and everyone will stay in the humble house until noon, and then go to watch the execution."
However, as soon as Cheng Hushen finished speaking, his servant ran in and hurriedly said: "Master, something is wrong, there are soldiers rushing towards us!"
Cheng Hushen asked hurriedly, "Is it King Lu's soldier?"
The servant said: "I don't know about the small ones, but they are all wearing armor and holding knives. Each one is as strong as a cow, and they are very powerful!"
"No matter whose soldier it is, it's better to kneel down first!"
At this time, a gentleman suggested.
After listening deeply, Cheng Hu agreed very much, and hurriedly said: "That's right, you should kneel down to meet him!"
So these gentlemen and sages didn't even drink tea anymore, and rushed outside directly.
At this time, Xia Yunyi's forward troops of the standard battalion official school had arrived first.
These came from the capital, based on the students of the Armed Forces School. After forming an army, they went to the powerful official school in southern Liaoning. They were full of murderous looks. As soon as they came, they lined up and shot these Cheng family slaves.
These slaves of the Cheng family fell like the ears of rice that had been cut down.
Xia Yunyi's subordinate officials were surprised by this.
Xu Du, who had only been transferred from southern Liaoning to serve as a member of Xia Yunyi's standard battalion, came out and asked, "Are you all from the Cheng family?"
Cheng Jinyuan hurriedly said: "No! Except for the old man, they are all gentlemen and sages of other ethnic groups in this county."
"Then why did they come to your Cheng family?"
Xia Yunyi walked in at this time.
"Answer truthfully!"
Xu Du followed suit and drank loudly.
Cheng Jinyuan looked up and saw that most of these officials and schools were wearing red lacquered helmets with the word "Yong" on their heads.
boom!
A gentry was shot in the head by Xia Yunyi, and the two gentry beside him trembled in fright.
"If you don't say yes, if you don't say it, you will all be the masterminds who framed the court officials and colluded with the rebels. You will all die!"
Xia Yunyi said in a cold voice, "Just like this person just now!"
A gentry trembled in fright and said, "I said, I said, we were invited by Cheng Juren to watch the execution."
"What punishment to watch?"
Xia Yunyi asked.
"It's not an invitation! It's Cheng Jinyuan, the traitor who forced us to come to watch the torture. He put a knife on our necks and forced us to come!"
The gentleman replied.
boom!
Xia Yunyi fired another shot, he looked particularly irritable at this time.
But in fact, as a radical reformer, he knew that he had to eliminate as many gentry as possible who were not involved in production and were only harmful to the country, in order to truly revitalize Daming and avoid the ruin of the country and family.
What's more, after learning that those who opposed the reform had planned to use cruel methods against the reform officials, he became more certain that those who supported the reform and those who opposed the reform could no longer get along in a peaceful way. It's your life.
Even if you want to keep the New Deal, it is best to cut the grass and roots.
So, now Xia Yunyi can kill as much as he can.
If it weren’t for the fact that he is now the governor and an official of the imperial court, and it is necessary to follow the procedural rules, he would even want to shoot all these people who are undoubtedly evil gentry.
After firing a shot, Xia Yunyi pretended to be irritable and shouted: "I'm asking what kind of punishment!"
As he spoke, Xia Yunyi pointed a gun at another gentleman's head: "Say!"
The gentry was sweating profusely and said: "Guan Cheng's family, Ling Chi, is from Xilin Academy, He County Chancellor and Wu Zhu Bo!"
"Why do you want to kill them, they are also considered members of the imperial court."
Xia Yunyi asked.
"We don't know either."
The gentleman replied.
boom!
Xia Yunyi shot another one, and then shouted loudly: "Tell the truth! Don't try to fool me! You can't fool me! Got it?!"
Xia Yunyi looked like a devil at this time, murderous.
Then, he held a flintlock and pointed at the head of a gentleman: "You continue to answer."
The gentry trembled and said: "Because they support the New Deal and the reform, they came here to implement the New Deal, and they want us gentry to also pay food as errands, and share their income with each other. Therefore, the Cheng family is dissatisfied with them, and we are also dissatisfied, but We didn’t dare to do this, the Cheng family did it, they ordered people to kill the county magistrate first, and then planned to capture them alive, and now they want to skin them and make them reform, so let’s reform them!”
The gentleman begged, "Don't kill me, don't kill me..."
Xia Yunyi continued to ask: "Why did the Cheng family dare to do this?"
The gentry hurriedly said again: "Their family has the most hidden land in our county. If the whole new policy of clearing up the farmland, sharing the farmland into the mu, and the government and gentry paying the grain together, they will lose the most. And because he Cheng Hushen is bold, He dared to kill people when he was young, and even dared to kill scholars, and now he still dares to do it, he is the local emperor of this county."
Xia Yunyi then looked at Cheng Hushen, and said with a smile, "You will be miserable in the future!"
