Follow Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the country

Chapter 71: Official punishment, heads rolling in! (First order required)

"Manager Ren is related to you?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked Ren Qiande about this.

Ren Qiande nodded: "These days, among the rich families, who doesn't spread more leisure chess?"

"Cut his tongue first!"

"Drag it out again and chop it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Xu Da.

"Yes!"

Ren Qiande was shocked.

"why?"

"why is that?!"

Ren Qiande couldn't help shouting.

But Xu Da had already drawn the sword himself, and Zhu Yuanzhang and his two soldiers had already pinched Ren Qiande's mouth.

Ren Qiande suddenly realized it and couldn't help but twist his jaw and said: "General, have mercy, general, have mercy. I was wrong. I should not slander General Manager Ren."

As soon as Ren Qiande finished speaking, a short knife entered his mouth and he was immediately unable to speak.

soon.

Ren Qiande, whose mouth was full of blood, was dragged out.

Let’s talk.

Outside the governor's house.

After Ren Qiande was captured into the backyard of the General Manager's Mansion and Zhu Yuanzhang left with him, Zhang Cheng immediately issued an order to Fei Ju, the new commander of the Arch Guard Division who had come to him, and said: "The Arch Guard Division arrests people immediately!"

"Yes!"

Fei Ju responded and waved his hand.

Suddenly.

Many official schools of the Guards Department rushed out of the private houses on both sides of the house outside the governor's house.

These people immediately began to arrest the troubled businessmen, and with the help of informants, they arrested them according to the pictures.

original.

Zhang Cheng knew that there would be unscrupulous businessmen who would speculate on low grain prices after the military pay was released, so he had already asked the Ministry of Defense to develop informants to prevent some unscrupulous businessmen from doing extraordinary things in a hurry, such as giving money, because the purpose of speculating on grain was not achieved. Hire gangsters to cause trouble or something.

The people Zhang Cheng is arresting now are all profiteers who have been proven by the Security Department to have colluded with local gangsters to cause trouble.

For example, some profiteers issued "no fee" contracts.

then.

When the official schools of the Arch Guards came to arrest these profiteers, these profiteers basically showed fear and horror on their faces, and turned around to run away. They were not angry when they saw the rebels dispatched.

The businessmen who were not arrested did not dare to be angry.

Because they were either hired to make a fuss, or they really lost money and wanted to make a fuss with them to see if there was a chance to vent their anger at the huge losses in the grain speculation.

But they did not have the courage to express their anger towards the soldiers.

After all, businessmen only care about profits, not dignity, but they really dare to stop or angrily rebuke the rebels who start to arrest people.

In addition, the merchants and people of this era would not really dare to make trouble unless someone instigated them. Even if they followed in making trouble, they would decisively show a submissive side when they saw that the situation was not right.

Therefore, the merchants who were not arrested not only did not dare to get angry, but ran away decisively or knelt down decisively at this time, fearing that the rebels would also arrest them and then be beheaded.

Zhang Cheng looked at the businessmen who were kneeling down one after another and most of them ran away. He said nothing and only walked to Yue Changfu, the old man who had just expressed the people's wishes to Zhu Yuanzhang:

"Except Yue Yuan, you want to sell grain at a low price and you are not forced by my officer. Why do you follow them and risk my life?"

Zhang Cheng happened to know this troublemaking old man who was brought by Zhu Yuanzhang to Xu Da, because this old man was one of the profiteers whose evidence was obtained by the Guards.

Therefore, Zhang Cheng asked Yue Chang Fu Lai at this time.

"Mr. Zhou Mu, have mercy on me!"

"This is what Mr. Ren and the others want. They want us to do this."

Yue Changfu started trembling all over.

Zhang Cheng just smiled faintly and ordered Qi Xiang: "Behead him in front of these businessmen!"

"Yes!"

So Qi Xiang asked people to drag Yue Changfu outside the fence.

"Master!"

"My lord, please spare my life!" Yue Changfu yelled out loud as he was being dragged down.

Swish!
  But not long after, Yue Changfu was beheaded to the ground by Zhang Cheng's guards.

The bloody head rolled among the businessmen kneeling on the ground.

Most of the business people kneeling on the ground were so frightened that their faces looked like white paint, and they kowtowed continuously.

"Master, please spare my life!"

"Master, please spare my life!"

……

"As he gets richer, he hires gangsters to cause trouble without authorization, and wants to intimidate the general manager to kill the governor of this state. This is a crime of evil deeds! Therefore, punish him!"

"There is evidence of the fee document that he hired someone to force the state herd to be killed! The so-called fee refers to the fee for hiring someone to cause trouble."

"Therefore, you don't need to panic. Although this state will not refrain from killing people, it will not kill people indiscriminately. You should also abide by the law and be cautious when encountering problems. You should not be easily deceived by others. You should also learn to admit your own mistakes and not be stubborn. Otherwise, you will suffer the consequences in the end!"

At this time, Qi Xiang also followed Zhang Cheng's instructions and spoke loudly to the businessmen who were kneeling begging for mercy with the evidence of Yue Changfu's crime.

Because Qi Xiang said this, some businessmen felt relieved.

And that time.

Fei Juze arrested profiteers one after another who had obtained evidence.

Zhang Cheng directly ordered: "Cut it down!"

"Master, please spare my life!"

"We are willing to pay for our sins with gold and silver!"

"Please spare our lives, sir. We are willing to give up all our wealth! Woohoo!"

The captured profiteers all turned pale with fear and began to cry.

Zhang Cheng just smiled coldly.

These profiteers have teamed up with people like Ren Qiande to want his life. How could he be so merciful?

Therefore, Zhang Cheng didn't say anything. He just watched quietly as these profiteers were pushed down on the long street one after another, and then their heads were beheaded by the guards.

Soon.

The long street was filled with blood.

The merchants who were still kneeling on the long street were so frightened that they did not dare to move. They just knelt in the bloody porridge one by one, sweating like rain, and their bodies were as steep as winter.

Li Shanchang, Feng Guoyong, Zhang Mian, Li Menggeng, and Guo Jingxiang all looked gloomy at this time.

Li Menggeng and Guo Jingxiang couldn't help but cover their faces with their sleeves.

Because neither of them expected that Zhang Cheng, a scribe, would execute criminals on the street without mercy, they both became uneasy at this moment.

After all, they had all secretly scolded and ridiculed Zhang Cheng together with Ren Qiande.

Zhang Mian was not much better, so he swallowed a few times and said to himself: "If Ren Qiande later reveals that he secretly communicated with him and asked him to trip up Zhang Cheng, I will definitely not admit it. If you don’t admit it, you might still be able to live, but if you admit it, you might not be able to live.”

Li Shanchang and Feng Guoyong also looked at each other at this time.

Feng Guoyong even couldn't help but whisper to Li Shanchang: "Fortunately, I listened to you and strictly abide by the etiquette and order of respecting the superior and not betraying the superior. Otherwise, I would have to worry today that one day Mr. Zhang will also be beaten with an iron fist. Show your head to the public in the street!"

Li Shanchang only smiled slightly: "After all, Mr. Zhang is a brave and wise man who does not lose heart when encountering large soldiers and dares to risk his own life in a fortified city. Only by obeying his ambition can I gain wealth and honor, how can I go against his scale! Only Ren, The more you wait, the more you become foolish because of your arrogance, you will make a big mistake!"

Feng Guoyong nodded.

At this time.

Ren Qiande, whose mouth was full of blood, was also dragged out.

Xu Da also followed and walked out: "By order of the throne, Ren Qiande, who murdered Shangguan, will be killed immediately!"

"cut!"

Finished.

Xu Da waved his hand.

Then, Ren Qiande struggled desperately, and struggled towards Li Mengeng and Guo Jingxiang, looking at these two people eagerly, wanting to talk to them.

Swish!
  In a moment.

Ren Qiande's head also rolled to the ground.

Li Menggeng and Guo Jingxiang, who were desperately retreating, could not help but tremble.

Zhang Cheng also looked at these two people at this time: "You two seem to have been very close to Ren Qiande, right?"
