The days when I ransacked the house in Jinyiwei

Chapter 352 The person who killed Liu Jin was actually Chang Tian

Liu Jin's rebellion case was tried for more than a month.

This is an out-and-out reshuffle of the court, a shocking political upheaval.

Four hundred and seventy-three civil servants of the seventh rank or above were designated as eunuchs. One hundred and sixty-one people above the seventh rank of military attache were designated as eunuchs.

A total of 849 eunuchs in the palace, local guards, and supervisory offices were designated as eunuchs.

For a time, Tiqi appeared all over the country, and the operation to arrest the eunuchs was in full swing. The whole officialdom was in turmoil.

Leopard room.

Li Dongyang and other six chief judges of the rebellion case stood in front of Emperor Zhengde and presented the results of the trial.

Li Dongyang cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Liu Jin has committed 18 major crimes such as treason and abuse of power. According to the law, he should be punished."

Emperor Zhengde hesitated: "Ling Chi? Can't you reward him with a piece of white silk to commit suicide?"

After all, there has been a master-servant relationship for many years, and Emperor Zhengde wanted to reward Liu Jin.

Li Dongyang said: "Go back to the emperor. If Liu Jin escapes from Lingchi, I am afraid that the world will be full of public opinion and will not be able to quell the resentment of the people and the anger of the officials."

Emperor Zhengde looked at Chang Feng. I hope Changfeng Gu Nian and Liu Jin's old relationship can help Liu Jin speak up and prevent Ling Chi from committing suicide instead of Bai Ling.

Unexpectedly, Chang Feng closed his eyes and fell asleep!

Twenty-five years of court life have given the forty-five-year-old Chang Feng a hard-hearted heart. The court is cruel, and talking about old feelings will only make you angry.

Moreover, what Liu Jin has done in the past few years has simply made people and gods angry. It was his own fault for suffering Ling Chi.

Emperor Zhengde was dissatisfied with Chang Feng's pretending to be dead: "Chang Qing! Chang Feng! Chang Butcher! Why are you dozing off when you are discussing matters before me?"

Chang Feng opened his eyes and shouted, which startled Emperor Zhengde: "Your Majesty, you are wise!"

Emperor Zhengde didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I haven't issued an imperial edict yet. Why are you so anxious to call me wise? Did you hear what I just said?"

Chang Feng rubbed his eyes: "Your Majesty, I am getting old. I see that I am a person who is rushing to know my destiny. In the past month, I have been busy checking the eunuchs' money. I was so tired that I was mentally exhausted. For a moment, I was exhausted. Actually fell asleep."

"I have behaved inappropriately before you, please forgive me!"

Emperor Zhengde said: "Forget it, I forgive you for not being guilty."

Yang Yiqing was afraid of a long night and many dreams: "Your Majesty. The Qintian Supervisor has determined that tomorrow is an auspicious day in the zodiac, and it is appropriate to eliminate traitors and kill thieves. I suggest that the emperor issue an edict today and set the execution of Lingchi for Liu Jin at noon tomorrow. The punishment will be three days to correct the situation. The human heart and the way of the world.”

Emperor Zhengde frowned and said, "Ling Chi also has an auspicious day?"

Yang Yiqing answered vaguely: "Ah, that's what Qin Tian Jian Cheng said."

Emperor Zhengde said: "Okay, your wish will be fulfilled. Yang Qing, draw up the decree, and Liu Jin will be late at noon tomorrow!"

"This time, the chief assistant Li Dongyang has made meritorious service in the trial of Liu Jin's rebellion case, and Zuo Zhuguo has been added."

After Li Dongyang thanked him, he showed his knife and said, "Your Majesty, Taizong's ancestral system, the Jinyi Guards supervise all officials, and there is a Dongchang to supervise the Jinyiwei."

"Xianzong set up the West Factory, and Liu Jin deceived the Emperor into setting up the Inner Factory. This is inconsistent with the ancestral system. I request you to abolish the Inner Factory and the West Factory."

Emperor Zhengde thought for a moment and said, "Well, Yang Qing, I have made a decree to abolish the inner and west factories."

Chang Feng shouted again: "Your Majesty, sage!"

Emperor Zhengde changed the subject: "Chang Qing, you, the commander of the Jinyiwei, are acting. Now it has been found that Qian Ning is not a member of Liu Jin's party. From now on, Qian Ning will continue to serve as the commander of the Jinyiwei."

"From now on, as the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Army, you will also be in charge of the Northern Town Fusi. As for the commander-in-chief of the 12th Regiment Battalion, Wu Chen, I gave you the military authority of the 12th Regiment Battalion that day because I was afraid of Liu Jin's gang members causing rebellion."

"Now that the eunuchs have been wiped out, Jiang Bin will take over as the admiral of the 12th Regiment Battalion."

This is a typical slap in the face to give a sweet date.

Although the Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Army has no real power, he is a serious military attaché. Previously, Chang Feng's commander-in-chief of the Chinese Army had the word "agent".

Now Emperor Zhengde has given Chang Feng the word "agency", which means to put it bluntly, he will be promoted to a full-time official.

Chang Feng kowtowed: "I thank you for your kindness."

Li Dongyang added: "Your Majesty, a total of more than 1,400 eunuchs among civil servants, military officers and eunuchs have been found. Seventy-eight people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Sixth Section Correspondent Officer jointly submitted a letter requesting the Emperor to generalize 1,000 eunuchs." More than four hundred eunuchs were beheaded."

Emperor Zhengde waved his dragon sleeves: "I am not Taizong, and Chang Feng is not Jigang. Guamanzhao is not allowed."

"In this investigation of the eunuchs, only the culprits and principal criminals will be killed. The accomplices will be dismissed from office or demoted depending on the degree of their guilt."

At noon the next day, downstairs of the East Archway of the Capital.

Liu Jin was tied to a pillar. Jinyiwei's executioners took off his clothes and poured salt water all over his body.

There was a huge crowd of officials and people watching.

Li Dongyang, Chang Feng and others were sitting on the execution platform next to the Dongpailou.

The head of the Criminal Department shouted: "Verify your identity!"

At this moment, a woman in her thirties, wearing mourning clothes and a mourning hat, walked from the crowd to the execution platform.

The Jinyi guards at the execution platform immediately drew out their swords and stopped the woman: "Who dares to break into the execution platform without permission?"

When Baihu saw the woman's face clearly, he immediately sheathed the knife and asked, "Miss, why are you here?"

Not only the eunuchs call Chang Tian "Miss".

Chang Feng's old subordinates in Jinyiwei also called her "Miss".

Chang Tian said loudly: "I am Liu Jin's daughter Chang Tian! According to the Ming Dynasty's execution rules, before the execution, the family members of the death row prisoner can send him off with wine!"

Now everyone in the capital is afraid of having even the slightest connection with Liu Jin.

However, on the day after Liu Jin arrived, Chang Tian claimed to be Liu Jin's daughter and served Liu Jin a drink to see him off.

Someone among the civil servants was booing: "Liu Jin's daughter is a temptress! She has been following Liu Jin in all these years!"

As soon as these words came out, the common people's vegetable leaves and rotten eggs rained down on Chang Tian.

Chang Tian didn't care and strode towards the execution platform.

Chang Feng, who was on the execution platform, became anxious. He quickly shouted: "You Jingwu, drag your aunt away!"

You Jingwu led several of his men to the execution platform quickly.

Chang Tian shouted loudly: "I am Xiaozong's sworn sister and the princess of Daming County. Who dares to stop me?"

You Jingwu subconsciously moved out of the way.

Chang Tian walked up to Liu Jin, opened the food box, and took out the food and wine.

Chang Tian said with tears in her eyes: "Dad, my daughter is here to take you on your way."

Liu Jin looked up to the sky and laughed: "With a filial daughter like you, my life is enough!"

Chang Tian picked up the wine cup, fed Liu Jin the guillotine wine, and gave him a few bites of vegetables, which was considered a guillotine meal.

Liu Jin said: "Okay, you go quickly. You don't have to follow dad to eat melons."

At this time, the civil servants and the common people were furious: "Beat that witch to death!"

"Liu Jin deserves to be killed, and his daughter deserves to be killed too!"

Civil servants and civilians began to attack the execution platform. The imperial guard's robe had no choice but to hold up his spear to block the crowd.

But the civil servants and common people are numerous and powerful. Jin Yiwei's people were squeezed back continuously.

If people follow the crowd, the crowd will be stupid and ruthless.

If they really rush to the execution platform, I'm afraid Chang Tian will be torn into pieces alive!

At this moment, Chang Feng strode to the execution platform.

He roared angrily: "I am Chang Butcher of Jinyiwei! This woman is my sister Chang Tian! If anyone dares to touch even a hair of my sister today, I will kill his whole family!" The civil servants and common people stopped in their tracks, Looking at each other. Who knows the reputation of Chang Butcher?

There are rumors among the public that it was Chang Butcher who overthrew the emperor Liu Jin.

Chang Feng roared again: "Who dares to attack the execution platform? It will be regarded as treason! Retreat!"

Civil servants and people began to retreat.

It's almost three quarters past noon.

Chang Feng walked to Chang Tian and lowered his voice: "The time has come, you should go home quickly."

Chang Tian said nothing. Suddenly he took out a dagger from the food box. He stabbed directly into Liu Jin's chest: "Dad, my daughter is unfilial, so I'll give you a good time. See you in the next life."

Liu Jin looked directly at Chang Tian, ​​with understanding and relief in his eyes.

Compared to Ling Chi's pain of 3,357 knives, being stabbed through the chest by a dagger was really an easy way to die.

Chang Feng froze on the spot.

He blocked Chang Tian and Liu Jin with his body, blocking the eyes of the onlookers.

The executioner used his hand to check Liu Jin's breathing, and was dumbfounded: "Master Handsome, the man has died. Why is he so late?"

Chang Feng said calmly: "Don't make any noise."

After saying that, he pulled out the dagger from Liu Jin's chest.

Then Chang Feng shouted: "Liu Jin deceived the Holy Emperor with one mouth, falsely conveyed the imperial edict, and harmed loyal ministers and good generals. Ling Chi's first knife should be to cut out his tongue first!"

After speaking, Chang Feng cut off the tongue from the mouth of Liu Jin's corpse and threw it down the execution platform.

Countless people and civil servants scrambled to grab the tongue. Their attention was all on their tongues, and they did not notice that Liu Jin was dead.

Since Liu Jin has no tongue, wouldn't it make sense that he could not make any sound when executing Ling Chi?

Chang Feng shouted again: "Execution!"

Hundreds of households were executed and Liu Jin's flesh was cut off for three days at the Dongpailou. A total of 3,357 cuts were made.

Every time a piece of meat was cut off, hundreds of families were thrown under the execution platform. Anyone who grabs it is the lucky one and can make a fortune from this piece of meat.

Because Liu Jin's meat sticks have been sold in the capital for three hundred taels.

People spread rumors that children who eat Liu Jin's meat will be immune to all diseases. The old man can live longer by eating Liu Jin's meat.

Good guy, Tang Monk is reincarnated.

Many officials who had been persecuted by Liu Jin bought meat and ate it raw with salt without boiling or steaming it. After all, we were still hundreds of years away from the birth of modern biology. They are not afraid of prions.

The fact that Chang Tian ended Liu Jin's life with a dagger three days ago became a secret.

Chang Tian fell seriously ill when he returned home from the execution ground that day. Sometimes the fever persists, and sometimes the whole body is as cold as ice. He would vomit within a few moments of eating water or food.

Princess Wanping's Mansion.

Queen Mother Zhang and Queen Xia came in person. They also brought a dozen royal doctors.

Empress Dowager Zhang looked anxious and scolded the doctors at the Tai Hospital: "If you can't save Princess Wanping's life, you should all be dismissed and go back to your hometown!"

The doctor knelt down and kowtowed: "This is for the Queen Mother. We have been treating Princess Wanping's illness for three days. There is no improvement at all."

"In my opinion, Princess Wanping is suffering from aphasia. Medical skills cannot cure her. She can only pray to ghosts and gods. Why not find a witch doctor?"

Chang Feng on the side knew that what Yizheng said was right.

Since ancient times, children who kill their fathers and women who kill their fathers will be punished by God. Regardless of whether the reason for killing his father was to reduce his father's pain.

Empress Dowager Zhang cursed: "Listen. The majestic doctor at Mingtai Hospital actually suggested asking ghosts and gods for help and recommended witch doctors!"

Chang Feng said: "The Queen Mother, Tangtang's illness is strange. I think what the doctor said is right."

"Come on, go to Qingyun Temple on the outskirts of the city and invite Master Zhang to come!"

After the death of the Empress Dowager Zhou, Taoist Zhang resigned from Jinyiwei and began to practice Taoism at Qingyun Temple.

An hour and a half later, Taoist Zhang arrived at the princess's mansion on a fast horse.

He first observed Chang Tian's condition. Then he said: "Master Chang, can you lend me a moment to speak?"

Chang Feng followed Taoist Zhang to a secluded place.

Taoist Zhang said bluntly: "Did your sister do something treasonous and unethical? Her lips are shiny, her lips are purple, and her nails are black. This is not acoria, but a sign of divine punishment."

Chang Feng said: "Taoist Zhang, we have been brothers for many years. Tangtang is already so ill, I can't hide it from you."

"Liu Jin was killed by Tangtang. That day at the execution ground, in order to relieve Liu Jin's pain, she sent Liu Jin on the road with a dagger."

Taoist Zhang suddenly realized: "It's true. A woman who kills her father will be punished by God!"

Then Taoist Zhang shouted: "Rulan!"

A young apprentice named Ru Lan came to Taoist Zhang and said, "Master."

Zhang Taoist said: "Put down the seven-star life-extending lantern array! Cover the princess's body with seventy-seven kilograms and seven taels of glutinous rice."

Ru Lan cupped her hands and said, "Yes. I will go look for glutinous rice now."

Chang Feng asked: "Taoist Zhang, I have to write Tangtang's birthday and horoscope to you, right?"

Taoist Zhang shook his head slightly: "I know your sister's birth date. You have forgotten that at your promotion banquet more than twenty years ago, I told everyone's fortune. Your sister's birth date is extremely special."

"Based on her birth date, her luck will flourish from the age of six until she reaches ninety-six years old! There is a hurdle at ninety-six. Once she gets over it, she will be a hundred years old."

"I remember her birth date clearly."

"But this time she committed the murder of her father. I'm afraid her longevity and luck have changed."

Chang Feng shed tears and knelt down to Taoist Zhang: "Taoist Zhang, my sister's life depends entirely on you!"

Taoist Zhang mixed up Chang Feng: "I can only talk about human affairs and obey the destiny."

Not long after, seven life-extending lamps were placed in front of Chang Tian's hospital bed. Her body was covered with glutinous rice.

Chang Feng and Zhang Taoist stayed by Chang Tian's side all night long.

The next morning, Taoist Zhang used his hand to detect Chang Tian's breathing: "It's strange. His breathing has been broken."

When Chang Feng heard this, he was like thunder: "What? Tangtang is gone? Tangtang, my little Tangtang, woo woo woo!"

Taoist Zhang said quickly: "Master Chang, don't cry in a hurry. Your breath has been cut off, but your wrist pulse is beating."

"This is the dual phase of life and death that Taoists talk about. She is not dead yet, but she is not alive either."

Chang Feng was worried: "Can you be more straightforward? Can Tangtang be saved?"

Taoist Zhang replied: "I don't know. I can only try my best."

After a while, Taoist Zhang thought: "To untie the bell, you still need the person who tied it. The only one who can untie the divine punishment is Liu Jin."

"My sister was punished by God because she killed Liu Jin and violated the taboo of a woman killing her father."

Chang Feng shouted: "Liu Jin has been cut into more than three thousand pieces of meat. The remaining bones have also been smashed and ashes. How can he save Tangtang?"

Taoist Zhang said calmly: "I have to use the soul-inducing technique to attract Liu Jin's soul."

"Did Liu Jin have anything he loved during his lifetime? Get it quickly."

Chang Feng replied: "There is a sandalwood folding fan in the Jinyiwei evidence room. Respect for martial arts."
