Chapter 1429 Public Trial
"These are the Manchu officials here?"
Han Yu asked.
"Your Highness, I personally checked and found that except Zhao Tingchen, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, they are all here."
Mu Tianbo said.
"Then where is this Zhao Tingchen?"
Han Yu frowned.
Zhao Tingchen was a big shot, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, who supervised the military affairs of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces. If it were not for Wu Sangui, he would have been the local emperor of the two provinces, with political and military power in his hands.
With him here, he can assemble the troops from Yunnan and Guizhou provinces and lead a large army to besiege them.
Although his First Grenadier Corps was powerful, it was unable to deal with the enemy with an absolute numerical advantage, and might even cause huge casualties.
He is now weak in strength, and the people under his command are very valuable, and each of them cannot be lost easily.
Zhao Tingchen had done this kind of thing a lot, and when he thought about it, he was stunned for a while.
Seeing how considerately Han Yu arranged for the wounded soldiers, the other soldiers in the yard also felt warm.
Han Yu said.
In the past, at this time, the vendors in Spring City had already begun to set out their stalls.
What they fear most as soldiers is that after being disabled, they will have no place to live in the future. Now that Han Yu has solved their worries, what else do they have to fear.
"If you have any grievances, tell me quickly. My father-in-law will make the decision for you!" Mu Tianbo was so happy that he almost shouted.
"Second Squadron, take people to take a look."
As long as no one dares to come forward and complain, he will not die. As long as he does not die, when the imperial army arrives, he will be restored to his official position.
Mu Tianbo asked.
Those on the stage are all high-ranking officials whom they usually dare not even look at. If they go out to file a complaint, nothing will happen to them, but if they turn around, the lives of their whole family will be in danger.
Mu Tianbo shouted from the high platform.
The captain said with a sneer.
Under Han Yu's order, a large space was cleared in front of Prince Pingxi's Mansion, and a high platform was erected in the center.
"My lord, what kind of crime should this behavior lead to according to the Ming Dynasty Law?" Han Yu suddenly asked.
Although the casualties were very small, Han Yu was still a little unhappy.
Immediately, soldiers planted wooden stakes in the yard, tied the officials to them, and covered their bodies with fishing nets.
"Sir, what should we do with these prisoners?"
"The person on the stage is the prisoner Zhao Tingchen. The people below the stage may have their grievances, and they can all have their grievances redressed."
Looking at the quiet people, Zhao Tingchen breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your Highness, behead him."
Han Yu said.
"Your Highness, I know where Zhao Tingchen is!"
"Yes." Mu Tianbo went down to make arrangements.
Occasionally, those who are a little evil will have trouble sleeping and eating.
"Tell me where Zhao Tingchen is. If you tell me, you will live. If you don't tell me, everyone will be executed in a hurry. Not only you, but also your family members. Even the graves of your ancestors will be dug up for you."
"Zhao Tingchen, can you plead guilty?"
Looking at the quiet people below, Mu Tianbo was a little anxious.
Han Yu walked up to the official.
Those who resisted were killed on the spot.
The old beggar knelt on the ground and shouted loudly.
Seeing that Han Yu was coming, these officials did not dare to hide it anymore, and one official immediately shouted.
Because some of them were fighting in close combat, casualties were inevitable. We were injured more than a dozen times, one of whom was seriously injured.
Taking this opportunity, the First Grenadier Corps purged the entire city, arrested Xiao Xiaoquan who was trying to fish in troubled waters, and hung him on the city gate to show the public.
"Very good, I will send someone to verify it now. If what you tell is false, I will make you even worse than them."
There are too many books to write, and people are in panic.
Han Yu ordered loudly.
"That's my sister-in-law."
"yes!"
Unknowingly, Han Yu's prestige in the hearts of everyone increased.
The group of people was pushed and sent to the yard.
The first person to be pushed to the pedestal was Zhao Tingchen, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou.
"yes!"
The prisoners in the yard were relieved at this time, at least they didn't have to die for the time being.
They don't know the origins of Mu Tianbo and others, nor do they know what they are doing.
Then, they began to think about the evil things they usually did.
"A public trial will be organized tomorrow. Those who have committed the most heinous crimes will be executed on the spot. Those whose crimes are not worthy of death will be put into labor in the mines to atone for their sins."
For the sake of safety, those people chose to remain silent.
"But in front of Prince Pingxi's Mansion is the backyard of the Liu Family Courtyard, so not many people can stand there."
"It's you who are captured, take them back!"
The streets were deserted, with no one around.
But today, no one dared to take to the streets.
"I'm really kidding you, right? Erect an execution platform in the yard!"
"Your Highness is benevolent, I will make arrangements." Mu Tianbo said.
Now those grenadiers pressed their necks with knives, and they were all as frightened as quails, trembling all over.
"Go and gather all the people in the city in front of Prince Pingxi's Mansion, set up a stage, and let them have a good look at the public trial."
Mu Tianbo said.
"Then tear down the wall of the Liu family's courtyard and free up the space."
At this time, people from other squadrons also came to report that all the gates of Spring City had been controlled and all the soldiers were arrested.
These officials were originally local squires. After Wu Sangui came, he donated some silver and suddenly became officials. They were accustomed to fine clothes and fine food.
The official said quickly.
"Cao Min was originally a peddler in this city. He gave birth to a pretty girl named Cuilian. She went to the market with me that day. On the way, she was spotted by Zhao Tingchen. She was taken into the house and humiliated to death. Her body was thrown into a mass grave.
I beg you, sir, to avenge me."
Han Yu said coldly.
"Then how did you know?" Han Yu asked.
"I don't dare, I don't dare. Your Highness will know after you go down and take a look." The official responded quickly.
Han Yu stared at the officials all over the floor and said coldly.
When they arrived, they captured the disheveled Zhao Tingchen from the kennel.
Zhao Tingchen tried to use his identity to calm the people in front of him.
"What are you going to do? Let me tell you, I am the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou and the commander of the XHQ Han army. If you dare to touch me, you will destroy the nine tribes!"
Seeing that everyone was silent, Han Yu sneered.
The people below were silent.
"Those who are seriously injured must be taken good care of, and those who are slightly injured must also be careful not to suffer non-combat attrition. If they cannot continue to fight, find them a job in the logistics, and do not leave their lives without a solution."
At this moment, an old beggar squeezed out from the crowd and shouted: "Master Qingtian, the common people are wronged!"
"explain!"
The next day, the sky was slightly bright.
The captain of the second squadron immediately rushed to Hanchuan East Road with his subordinates.
Some have even become incontinent.
Mu Tianbo turned to look at Zhao Tingchen.
Originally, they were extremely scared, but now when they heard that Ling Chi was coming, some of them were so frightened that they fainted.
"In a small courtyard on the north side of Hanchuan East Road, that is the home of his eighteenth concubine. If he is not in the house, he is probably there. This is his hiding place, except for a few soldiers
, no one knows.”
Mu Tianbo said.
"Behead and decide!"
Han Yu said.
"yes."
Chapter completed!
