Chapter 608 Fuzhou Gentlemen
That night, the four families sent invitations to Shen Yi one after another, and the contents were almost the same.

That is to treat Master Shen to dinner.

And from these four invitations, we can already see some facts.

For example, these four families do have problems.

They must have hooked up with Japanese pirates, and now they feel guilty, and they take the initiative to send invitations to Shen Yi.

These four companies may have some business cooperation with the Japanese pirates, or they may directly collude with the Japanese pirates, or even directly support the Japanese pirates.

But no matter what, their behavior deserves to die.

At least the patriarchs of these four families deserve to die, and none of them were wronged.

Because they, more or less, gave the Japanese pirates some help.

Naturally, Shen Yi ignored these four invitations. Early the next morning, he got up early and changed into a fifth-rank official uniform. When it was close to noon, he asked two hundred soldiers of the Anti-Japanese Army to Escorting fifty Japanese pirates, they came under a big banyan tree on Dongcheng Street in Fuzhou City.

This is the place where Fuzhou beheaded prisoners.

Master Shen asked someone to set up a few tables, and then escorted fifty Japanese pirates under the big banyan tree one after another.

These Japanese pirates are very hard-working. They were frozen all night yesterday, and none of them froze to death.

At this moment, they were tied together under the banyan tree. Even fools knew that they were about to be beheaded.

These Japanese pirates who used to cross the sea and kill without counting suddenly became agitated. They struggled desperately and yelled desperately at Shen Yi who had already sat down on the beheading platform.

It's just that most of what they speak is Japanese, and they can't understand it.

Among these people, there are also one or two who can speak Chinese, but they don't speak very clearly. They just yell "forgive me" and "forgive me" at Shen Yi, which are not nutritious words.

Master Shen ignored them, but let the anti-Japanese army officers and soldiers stay nearby to prevent the slowly increasing crowd of onlookers from approaching.

Then, Shen Yi glanced at Jiang Sheng beside him, and said, "Go and paste the notice on that big banyan tree."

Jiang Sheng responded, and immediately ran under the banyan tree, and pasted the notice written by Shen Yi overnight on the body of the big banyan tree.

The content of the notice is very simple.

Most of the Japanese pirates along the coast of Fujian have been killed, and only scattered Japanese pirates have fled.

The disasters caused by Japanese pirates in Fujian have been mostly caused by the communication with Japanese pirates.

Once it is found out that there is a connection with the Japanese, they will be punished with the same crime as the Japanese pirates.

These are probably the contents written on the notice, but after all, Master Shen is a second-class Jinshi, so when he wrote it, he showed some literary talents, and it looks much more beautiful.

After Jiang Sheng posted the notice, there were hundreds of people watching under the big banyan tree.

There is no way, the common people like to watch the excitement, especially this kind of beheading.

There were more and more people, but Master Shen was still sitting in his seat with an old god. It was not until noon that Master Shen stood up from his chair, and then looked at the surrounding people.

He coughed and said slowly, "My fellow countrymen."

Shen Yi pointed to the Japanese pirates kneeling on the ground, and slowly said: "These are the Japanese pirates who have caused disasters along the coast of Fujian for decades. Starting today, 50 people will be beheaded under this banyan tree every day to comfort the Japanese pirates who have died in the sea for many years." In the hand is the spirit of the common people in the sky."

Having said that, Master Shen paused.

"At the same time, I also warn you."

"Tong Wo..."

Shen Yi said loudly: "Same crime with Japanese pirates!"

After saying this, Master Shen looked up at the sky, seeing that it was past noon, he waved his hand and shouted: "Behead!"

As soon as he said these words, some people among the crowd watching immediately started to move.

However, these people only made a commotion for a while, and did not make trouble.

Following Shen Yi's order, the soldiers of the Anti-Japanese Army behind the Japanese pirates immediately pulled out the sabers in their waists and slashed down without hesitation.

It may be a little neater than a professional executioner.

Because they are rich in killing Japanese pirates, they kill five taels of silver.

Killing these captives is the same as killing Japanese pirates. Killing a person rewards five taels of silver.

Fifty butcher knives fell, and fifty human heads fell to the ground amidst the shock and exclamation of the surrounding people.

Master Shen didn't even blink his eyelids, he still stood where he was, and said quietly: "Everyone, listen carefully, besides these pirate captives, there are about two to 3000 people. The Han people who were captured by the Japanese pirates are now placed in Fuqing County, if you have relatives and family members who have been lost by Japanese pirates, you can go to Fuqing County to find relatives."

After saying this, Master Shen glanced at the crowd, then turned around, and said in a deep voice to the people behind him: "Everyone, the royal master of the imperial court has arrived, and the Japanese pirates on the southeast coast will be wiped out at least in the next year or so." !"

This sentence is still very inspiring.

Because these coastal people were indeed harmed by the Japanese pirates, and some family members and friends were indeed killed by the Japanese pirates.

People are innocent most of the time.

The ones who really know the Japanese are often those big families who are already powerful, but still lack people's hearts.

After saying these words, cheers came from the crowd watching.

Master Shen smiled, turned around and ordered the anti-Japanese army officers behind him to clean up the scene, and then he took Jiang Sheng and Ling Su to leave the execution ground.

"This Fuzhou Prefecture, we should be the first to come back, let's go around?"

Jiang Sheng is Shen Yi's entourage, Ling Su is Shen Yi's subordinate, the two of them naturally dare not object, but Ling Su is a more cautious person, he slightly lowered his head and said: "Mr. There are a lot of people, even if you want to go out, don't you need to bring more people by your side?"

Shen Yi looked not far ahead: "You will be stopped if you don't go far, so don't be so cautious."

Ling Su followed Shen Yi's gaze and saw that there were dozens of people in front of them at some point. There were men and women, old and young among these people, but judging by their attire, they should all be from wealthy families.

Ling Su narrowed his eyes slightly, lowered his head and said, "This subordinate neglected his duty and didn't notice his surroundings."

"This subordinate will call someone over here."

Shen Yi shook his head slightly, and said lightly: "Let's see where they came from."

Ling Su bowed his head silently, then turned his head and waved to a hundred households behind him. The hundred households immediately understood, and followed behind Shen Yi and the others with a hundred people under his command.

As soon as Master Shen walked out of the circle of onlookers, dozens of people surrounded him. After seeing Shen Yi, everyone had smiles on their faces.

However, what they said was all in Fuzhou local dialect, and Shen Yi basically couldn't understand a single word.

Master Shen frowned slightly, then looked at everyone, and smiled politely: "Everyone, do you have any good official words?"

Only then did the dozens of people quiet down. A woman in her early 20s squeezed out from the crowd, wished Shen Yi a blessing, and said in Mandarin: "Ye Chan, Fuzhou Prefecture, pay my respects to Mr. Shen."

This woman is about the same age as Shen Yi, with fair skin and a smaller stature, but her appearance is very majestic, with a little heroism in her beauty.

Shen Yi lowered his eyebrows slightly, thought about it, and smiled: "You are from the Ye family in Fuzhou."

He glanced at the dozens of people around the woman, and asked, "Are these people from your Ye family, or are they from a few families?"

Yechan lowered her head slightly, and said an answer that was beyond Shen Yi's expectations.

"These are all the local gentry of our Fuzhou Prefecture. They heard that the Imperial Envoy has arrived in Fuzhou Prefecture, and they came here to see the Imperial Envoy."

Shen Yi frowned, looked at these dozens of people, thoughtfully: "Is each of these people a family?"

Ye Chan lowered her head and said, "Yes."

She took out a gift list from her sleeve, put both hands in front of Shen Yi, and said with a smile: "Mr. Shen. These are Fuzhou gentry, a little love for Mr. Shen."

She was respectful.

"Please take a look."
