Chapter 138 Hu Yuan, you deserve to die
As soon as Zhu Min led his army into the city, he ordered people to escort Hu Yuan's family and prepare to behead him. This shocked the people all over the city.

An open square in the city was used as a temporary execution ground, and the surrounding people were already crowded.

In fact, in ancient times, there was no so-called rule of asking for cuts at Caishikou. The so-called Caishikou was a place name in Beijing, which is now Shuntian Mansion, and also in Yanjing.

During the Ming Dynasty, it was not at Caishikou, but at Xisi Archway.

It was not until the Qing Dynasty that Caishikou was used as an execution ground, and it became popular with Qing operas.

Therefore, Hu Yuan's family did not go to the vegetable market or the vegetable market.

Just an ordinary open space.

"It's wrong, it's wrong. King Min acted arbitrarily and privately asked and beheaded the ministers of the court. I don't accept it. I want to report to Your Majesty. I want to report to the court. King Min wants to rebel." Well, Hu Yuan is indeed a hero. It's already this time. , and he was still shouting dissatisfaction.

Zhao Kuo, who was responsible for the beheading, looked up at the people around him and murmured in his heart. After thinking about it, he called the soldiers around him and asked them to rush to report the situation to Zhu Zhen.

When Zhu Xi learned that the area around the execution ground was overcrowded, Zhao Kuo was worried that Hu Yuan's family had been operating here for a long time. What would happen if a civil uprising was triggered?
What's more, Hu Yuan has been clamoring that Zhu Min is going to rebel. If this reaches His Majesty's ears, it will really be a problem.

So Zhao Kuo had to consider Zhu Min's reputation.

It was just Zhu Chen's messenger who came to ask Zhu Chen: "The general asked you whether you want to wait until night to secretly take him out of the city and then chop him."

Zhu Ming is so angry that with me, he has really secretly killed the court ministers?

This Zhao Kuo is really a fool. You know that everyone in the city knows that I am going to kill Hu Yuan. Why don't you kill him now and secretly kill him at night?

Am I really guilty of co-authorship and imposition?
As long as Hu Yuan dies, no matter whether anyone sees it or not, who doesn't know that I killed him?
So Zhu Zhen came to the execution ground angrily.

"What are you yelling about?" Zhu Min shouted and came to Hu Yuan's family through the passage opened with the help of the accompanying guards.

At this time, Hu Yuan no longer had the majesty he had as a commander before, and he no longer had the armor from that day. He was only wearing coarse clothes, and he knelt there shivering.

It is now the end of November, and even Yunnan is starting to feel cold.

What's more, this is an execution ground. The soldiers around him are holding knives in their hands, and they have a murderous aura.

Zhu Ming looked at Hu Yuan and sneered: "Huh, what? Do you still feel aggrieved and think that this king has wronged you?"

Hu Yuan also understood that if he could not overcome the difficulties today, his whole family would be slaughtered, so he simply raised his head, no longer humble, and shouted: "What crime do I have? I'm here." Before, this place was in ruins, but it became rich after my management. May I ask, Your Highness, why do you want to accuse me? If you can't give me a reason, even the people in this city won't agree. Right?"

He still wants to mobilize the power of the masses?

But the people around him just looked at it with cold eyes and no one responded.

Hu Yuan's eyes turned cold and he looked at the unruly people with hatred.

Zhu Ming smiled: "You still think you can dominate? Hu Yuan, your troops are all under control, and even military-registered households have been warned to stay at home. Do you really think that the people in this city will support you?" Can't you? If I didn't want to behead you, they might still be afraid of your authority, but now that your whole family is going to be beheaded, who is still afraid of you? "

Hu Yuan gritted his teeth and glared at Zhu Zhen. He no longer cared whether looking up at you was guilty of assassinating the king or killing him.

What's more, the law about "looking up at the king, intending to assassinate the king and kill him, and behead him" was a law of the Qing Dynasty, but now it is the Ming Dynasty.

Didn't you see that the people around him dared to look directly at Zhu Zhen?

Zhu Ming raised his head and glanced around.Although not all the people in the city came, the surroundings were already packed, and everyone was silently watching this feat.

Zhu Ming took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "I have already investigated and know why everyone is here. Many people migrated from the Central Plains, and some were forced into exile, even on unfounded charges."

"But no matter what, you have arrived in Yunnan, and you should be taken care of by the court. Those who originally had no land in the Central Plains should be allocated a few acres of land."

"But this Hu Yuan is domineering. Not only does he monopolize all the fields, but he also makes you work hard. In the end, you can't even have enough food and clothing, but a lot of money and food all go into his pocket. In his mansion, the food There are piles of them, and some of them are almost rotten.”

"I didn't come here before, and the court didn't know the local situation, so this old boy deceived the superiors and subordinates, and went to Yongchang Mansion to become a local emperor. You have suffered."

"Now that I am here, I will uphold justice in Yongchang Mansion. Not only will I kill Hu Yuan's family, I will also re-establish the Yongchang Mansion system, and will also send a new official to govern the place, and Re-measure the land, check the population registration in the city, and then allocate the land."

"I am the 18th son of Emperor Hongwu, and I am also the border guard king who was entrusted with the fiefdom of Yunnan. I am here to uphold justice for you. You can decide for yourself whether Hu Yuan deserves to die."

There was a sudden silence all around.

Hu Yuan was shocked and angry at first, but more despair and panic.

But after a moment, Hu Yuan raised his head and laughed: "Hahahaha, this is all useless, King Min, King Min, you are still too young. Many people here are unruly and offending the people. Do you want to win people's hearts? I read."

Before he could finish his words, the crowd suddenly burst out shouting: "King Min is a thousand years old, King Min is merciful."

It turned out that many people were deafened by Zhu Xi's words and did not react until this moment.

Countless people were extremely excited, pointing at Hu Yuan and yelling: "Damn dog official, you are an official of our Han family, but you have appointed yourself as a commander and exercised the system of chieftain officer. You should be killed."

"When we didn't come, you, a dog-eat-dog, promised a lot of benefits, but after we went through all the hard work to help you build a city and open up fertile land, you took it all by yourself. We became your serf tenants. It's really... hateful."

"It should be killed, it should be killed."

It can be said that Hu Yuan has aroused public resentment for a long time, but it is only because he controls the army that the local people are helpless.

He even blocked the city gates at will, so that the people would not dare to leave, as if their household registration had been blocked. Anyone who dared to leave without permission would be committing a serious crime.

Not to mention suing Hu Yuan, he would be captured by Hu Yuan's troops before he could reach Dali or Kunming.

The people have been miserable for a long time, but there is no way to go to heaven or to the earth.

Until today, Zhu Chu's arrival and his words made all the people extremely excited, and they almost supported Zhu Chu and declared long live the emperor on the spot.

Fortunately, most of the people here are from the Central Plains, unlike the 20 natives who surrendered and screamed.

Zhu Ming once again looked at Hu Yuan who lowered his head in complete despair, raised his hand and shouted: "Kill."

As the surrounding swordsmen slashed down, Hu Yuan's family ended their sinful life.

At the same time, in the crowd, an old man with gray hair and a childish face nodded and smiled, saying to himself: "This guy is pretty good."

But then, the old man frowned again and muttered: "But when I look at his face, he has the appearance of a man. What's going on? No, I have to take a good look in person."

Thinking about it, the old man walked directly towards Zhu Xun. What is surprising is that he is a very old man, but he can move freely in the crowd, and the people around him are not squeezed by him. He is like a man in the water. A fish came to Zhu Zhen easily.

(PS: Guess who he is. There is no reward for guessing correctly.)
