Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 614
There are hundreds of officials above the fourth rank, and more than 500 nobles. A large group of face-to-face people is really called gentle and sweeping the floor. Suddenly, the Chuangjun rushed out to face each other with swords. In a word, they were all taken down, and their official uniforms were pulled off on the spot. Knock on the prison uniform with court clothes, push and push outside.

Before he could figure out what was going on, Wang Zhixin was still wearing handcuffs and desperately turned around and shouted: "Is it a mistake! General, it's an old slave! The old slave who served His Majesty yesterday!"

The chief assistant of the cabinet, Chen Yan, was so anxious that he jumped up, desperately shaking his handcuffed hands and shouting: "Chen Yan, my servant, is a meritorious minister! It was my servant who prevented Chongzhen from moving south, and was overthrown by Prince Chuang. Great Ming Dynasty opportunity!"

It's a pity that no matter how loud these adults and lords are, those who invaded the army didn't have the slightest intention of being generous. They just beat them with whips and drove these respectable people out of the palace.

This time I went to Donghua Gate. Since Song Qingshu said that Chongzhen was dead, Li Zicheng regarded him as dead. Not to mention, when I searched the palace last night, I found a corpse wearing a dragon robe who jumped into a well. Was it some loyal guard who wanted to cover it? It's hard to say whether the emperor died, or which eunuch went crazy before his death, anyway, Li Zicheng regarded him as Chongzhen.

In history, many historians praised Li Zicheng, saying that he treated Emperor Chongzhen with courtesy, but this courtesy was really limited. A willow coffin of the lowest quality was placed in full bloom, and it was carried out of the palace with the emperor's wife, Yi'an, and the Queen Mother Zhang Yan. Stopping in front of Donghua Gate and throwing it there, the descendants of the "Dignified Emperor" are so bleak, it makes people feel emotional and shake their heads.

All the ministers were escorted to pass by here, all looked sideways and sadly, especially Ling Yiqu, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, suddenly rushed out of the queue of officials, and Judge Daming, who was only in his 30s, knelt down in front of the coffin and kowtowed several times , and immediately raised his shackled hands, pointed at the noses of Chen Yan, Wei Zaode and other guys, and cursed.

"The country has supported the servants for thousands of days. You are so stingy that you will be defeated by thieves. Even if you are shameless and seek glory against the Lord, you will end up like a dead dog. If you die, you will be stigmatized for thousands of years. You deserve it!"

"Your Majesty, have you seen it! These bastards are going to die!"

Just finished cursing, before Chuangjun came to pull again, this Daming judge unexpectedly slammed his head into the coffin, his head was bleeding, and he fell to the ground and died. A memorial fell out of his sleeve, and he was processing The courtiers are suitable. Gu Junen, who selected some Ming officials to join the Dashun regime, happened to pass by. Seeing this, he picked up the memorial full of contempt. After flipping through two pages, his face immediately became serious.

The entire memorial is full of insults to Li Zicheng. It seems that this guy has no intention of going back alive, but Li Zicheng didn't give him the unique opportunity to die.

"This man is a righteous man, so he should be buried with honor. As for these guys, none of them need to be kept, they are all taken away!"

Originally rushing here, Gu Junen wanted to persuade King Chuang to be more gentle and not to be so forceful, but seeing Chen Yan, Wei Zaode, who was scolded by Ling Yiqu who couldn't hold his head up, a sense of boredom arose spontaneously, Gu Junen again He simply waved his hand.

More than 500 nobles were directly separated at Caishikou, pushed and shoved to the outside of the city, one by one knelt on the ground, and the three major battalion chiefs who were in charge of guarding the capital, because of jealousy Li Guozhen, the Boss of Xiangcheng who did not let Wu Sangui into the city He was pushed at the front. Seeing a large group of executioners wearing red trousers, topless, and carrying ghost knives in their arms approaching gloomyly, the most favored nobleman of the Chongzhen Dynasty couldn't help shouting in panic. .

"We are sincerely relying on Prince Chuang, why are we slaughtering again with knives and axes, this general, please tell Prince Chuang, it is ominous to kill prisoners!"

Li Guo, who was in charge of beheading, was even more contemptuous when he heard this, and spit contemptuously with his arms folded: "You have the salary of Chongzhen and the title of Ming Dynasty, and it's time for a decisive battle." Thinking of serving Daming, just trying to survive, Lord Chuang said, you bastards are all unrighteous people, how can you expect you to be loyal to me, Dashun?"

"kill!"

"The little one is really heartbroken..."

Before the words of begging for mercy could be finished, the gleaming broadsword had already been chopped down. In an instant, more than 500 heads rolled to the ground with blood pouring out. It's really admirable that his identity was heroic and died in battle, but he ended up in such a hasty way. After killing people, Li Guo once again spat in disdain, then put on a smiling face again, and escaped from his arms with a smile on his face A booklet is coming.

"According to the roster, ransack the houses one by one!"

At any rate, these nobles died quite thoroughly, but on the other side, dealing with the group of civil servants was an even more terrifying and cruel punishment.

In this time and space, Li Zicheng does not have Liu Zongmin, but someone will always take his place. Hao Yaoqi, a general under Gao Yingxiang's command, has now become the general post of the Chuang army, and Li Zicheng's second in command. This person is also a bit more brutal than Liu Zongmin. When Li Zicheng was beaten, the Eighteen Cavalry fled to Shangluo Mountain. In order to express his absolute support for Li Zicheng without any worries, this person personally killed his entire family.

Being ruthless to his family, he was even more ruthless to others. After entering the capital, Hao Yaoqi was named Ruhou, and his Ruhou Mansion became a special office for torture and looting. It turned out to be Hou Chengyi's mansion, and a large group of bureaucrats from the Ming Dynasty were escorted in. Before entering the door, a gust of heat made these people shiver.

Hao Yaoqi actually moved all the troublesome guys from Jinyiwei North Town Fusi to his home. The triangle soldering iron was burning in the charcoal fire, and there were blood-stained skinning knives and eye gouging knives. , an intestine-pumping knife, and a big country for cooking people gurgling under the firewood. Under the fearful eyes of a group of officials from the Ming Dynasty, Hao Yaoqi excitedly showed his yellow and scorched teeth, a shark An astonishing smile appeared on his face.

"King Chuang has an order. You and Cao are all corrupt officials. They are officials of the Ming Dynasty, but they are deceiving their superiors and their subordinates, taking away the fat and anointing of the people, and making a lot of ill-gotten wealth. However, the Lord Chuang is kind enough to give you a chance. 10 taels for Xunqin, 3 taels for hall officials, 3 taels for Jinyiwei, 3 taels for Ke Dao officials, 1 taels for Hanlin, and so on. , let you live!"

"This is simply a robber!"

Emperor Chongzhen didn't donate any money when he asked for it, and he took refuge in Chuangjun, and he was going to be blackmailed like this!Xu Haokong, the left counselor of the General Administration Department, was the first to yell pale and angry. Who knows, Hao Yaoqi smiled when he heard it, and turned his head to look at him cruelly.

"In the eyes of you bastards, aren't the old men just rogues?"

"I didn't see you when I was fighting in the capital city. It's time to show your integrity! Someone, lift him up!"

A dozen strong men went up and picked up the skinny old man, and lifted him to the top of the bubbling steaming cauldron amidst his yelling in fear. Still holding his arms, Hao Yaoqi said with a dark smile: " Xu Shenshu, right! Your official position should be 5 taels of stolen money, take it or not!"

"I promised Kong Lianjie his whole life, how can there be so much money?" At this time, he was also softened, looking at the bubbling hot water, the pants of the majestic fourth-rank councilor were wet, crying and screaming, listening The ferocious look on Hao Yaoqi's face disappeared in a flash.

"Cook him!"

With a thud, the hot water splashed, and a scream that didn't seem to be a human voice came from it, and the flesh and blood were peeled off. A horrible, inhuman object was about to climb up, but the two intruders smiled grinningly and closed the lid, boiling. The water couldn't kill people for a while, and listening to the thumping sound in there, all the descendants of the Ming Dynasty who were just now filled with righteous indignation and wanted to fight against the enemy all turned pale with fright.

In front of the Chongzhen Emperor, they advance and retreat in unison. They use each other's momentum and even threaten the emperor. some silver.

Unfortunately, it is too late to regret!

Wei Zaode was startled and looked at Chen Yan, the chief assistant who had always been on the same front with him. Who knew that Chen Yan's legs softened at this time, and he fell to his knees on the ground.

"General! General! This old man is willing to contribute all his wealth to Lord Chuang, but this old man only has 4 taels of cash in hand. Can you ask the general for a few more days? If I sell my property, I have to collect the military salary of Lord Chuang!"

It's not bad to get off to a good start. Seeing Chen Yan being so knowledgeable, Hao Yaoqi hummed and waved his hand: "It's easy to say, I will give you this chance, isn't our Dashun unreasonable! Come on!" , take this old man down, and get the silver first!"

With such a leader, many imitators will naturally follow. Kneeling down, a large group of demoted officials are crying and kowtow, expressing their willingness to pay for money. Adding to the embarrassment, he sent people to follow him to collect the money, and those who had enough money were released, but not all officials were really that rich. Wei Zaode, the second cabinet assistant, lost his legs and knelt on the ground in horror.

"Old man, old man is not so rich!"

"Old miscellaneous hair, don't think that I don't know you, you are the second assistant university scholar of Chongzhen, you have no money, no one will believe it! King Chuang is kind, don't put your nose on your face!"

"But I really don't have that much silver, 5000 taels, I only have 5000 taels!"

Seeing Hao Yaoqi's face become extremely frightening, I feel sorry for him, a scholar who can stand and answer in front of Chongzhen, and kowtowed in fright at a rough man. Unfortunately, Wei Zaode's pitiful appearance did not change at all. Hao Yaoqi had a little sympathy, and sneered, Hao Yaoqi waved his hand viciously at the team, and a large group of wrestlers came up carrying sticks.

The fingers of Wei Zaode and dozens of Ming officials were stuffed into the torture made of three pieces of wood. When the two wrestlers pulled, the screams of slaughtering pigs immediately echoed in the originally magnificent Mansion of Sincerity.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!"
