Chapter 957 Execution
"The biggest trouble of Zhenbei Army has always been the lack of a way to maintain the army. The old man of the Chen family once thought about looking for a mine, but before entering the right path, he was noticed by His Majesty, cut off this road and the future of the Chen family."
"Beiguan has poor geological conditions and poor climate. Unlike Kuyao, which can develop agriculture in all seasons like spring, it is difficult to eat and drink well in Beiguan." Xiao Lingyao sneered: "Even if Cheng Cen's ambition is so great that he can survive the sky, Chen Tianxiao must also think about whether he has this ability."
The situation in Beiguan is not much better than Kua Cliff. At least Kua Cliff has not been discovered yet. Although it is about to start from scratch, there is no one on one side that is eyeing Dongyue King, and the Beimo with wolf ambitions on the other side that has become a sandwich pie.
Not to mention that the Zhenbei Army also had to rely on the funds of the court to support the army. Beiguan had such a geographical environment. The local area was dominated by wheat and rice, and the crops were not active, so the animal husbandry industry was OK.
Beiguan also has a tough flaw - the inconvenience of transportation. Although it is as strong as Wang'anshan, the traffic is still not as good as the one near the capital. Otherwise, it would not be called a barren land. With the efforts of Zhenbei Army, it has improved a lot compared to before, but so what?
Inherent conditions and defects in technology and raw materials are destined to be slow in infrastructure, not to mention that Chen Tianxiao did not realize the importance of road construction. He only started to facilitate military transportation, but road construction is actually related to the future.
"Okay, Chen Tianxiao is surrounded by tigers and wolves, but don't forget that the emperor must have his own eyes and ears in Beiguan. Once he knows that there is a change in his place, he just turns his attention to Beiguan. Dongyue is busy with political affairs, and he has to guard against foreign enemies. There is also the Beiguan rebellion..."
Qin Feng said slowly: "The energy to be able to find us is limited. Based on this, we should thank Yifan Zhenbeihou and Mrs. Yifan Zhenbeihou for his wife."
They want to be a monster, and Cheng Cen, who is afraid that the world will not be in chaos, is the chaos in Beiguan, which is extremely amazing!
In a blink of an eye, the national mourning period of Empress Dongyue ended, and the capital returned to its former prosperity. However, shortly after the national mourning ended, something shocked the city happened. The brother of Wu'an Hou who went to Wang'an Mountain was guilty of a serious crime and was sent to prison.
However, in just a few days later, news came out that the whole family was convicted, the man was convicted, and the woman sold it, which was equivalent to extermination of the clan!
There were countless rumors in the crowd for a time. Some people said that the Marquis Wu'an had just left, and his brother was seriously guilty. This must have been that Marquis Wu'an had offended His Majesty. Some people said that Marquis Wu'an would lose his life if he left the capital. Going to Anshan was just a cover.
When Xiao Zhen left with his soldiers, he was in a mighty way. How many people witnessed it with their own eyes that this was not going to defend the border of the northeast for Dongyue? It was serving the country. Why did he take the lives of his brothers as soon as the country was over?
It is unknown how it is spread, but Xiao Zhen’s two brothers’ male men were sentenced to beheading, and the two heads of the family were sentenced to beheading!
After the news came out, the people who were still talking about it closed their mouths. Until the day of the execution, there was another crowd of people on the street. Some people also lamented that the execution was so vigorous after the national funeral was over, and the evil spirit was a little more severe.
The Yuchun Tower was in a very good location, and almost no major events had happened. The day of the execution was the same. Sat Cheng and others stayed in the window upstairs, watching the escorts of prisoners heading towards the execution ground surrounded by the crowd, sighing.
Although Marquis Wu'an had no real power, he had soldiers and the title of Marquis. His two brothers also entrusted his blessing to join the clan and became military officers. Although his official position was not high, he was also very arrogant in the city to take advantage of his elder brother's face.
Who could have expected that he would end up like this now? Chunniang knew some inside story and whispered: "General Xiao wanted to take them away before leaving. They were reluctant to leave the prosperity of the capital and the glorious glory of the self-conceived city, and refused to leave together."
Poor people must have something hateful. They should be clear about how their official positions come from, and they should also understand the situation of their relatives in the court. If they push themselves into this abyss, wouldn’t it be a death sentence?
Even so, looking at the Xiao family who were tortured in a prison car, Sat Cheng and others were trembling in their hearts. The convoy was only escorting the men in the mansion, but dozens of people were all wearing head shackles, their hands were locked by iron chains, and their heads were unkempt.
Not only that, there were obvious scars on their faces. Although the prison clothes on their bodies were new, they were all curled up together, and the expression on their faces was painful. It was obvious that they had suffered a lot of torture in prison!
But they were asked to wear a generous new prison robe, as if they were trying to cover up their eyes. Xie Cheng not only sighed: "Kunpeng has become a Qilin now, and we will also leave the field. I hope that after leaving the field, we will not be implicated and end up with this."
"It can be seen that we can only leave quickly." Si Yuan's fat face showed a pale pale look: "Have you ever discovered that the people who were sent to the business to learn from us recently were actually going to replace us?"
As they expected this, the new owner came up, so how could he use the old owner's people? This is a hidden danger for himself.
Chunniang said nothing. When she thought of Long Qi's words, she sighed and was fascinated by the eyes. She wanted to stay in Hongyu Tower to continue to collect information for Qin Feng, which was a dream!
They will all be cleared out. Even if King Rui wants to use it, the Yuan Emperor behind him will not agree. It is a blessing to be able to escape unsuccessfully. Looking at the convoy away, Chunniang said, "We should prepare too."
Everyone nodded silently, and the convoy arrived at the execution ground before noon. There were many women, elderly people and children among the onlookers. They were originally watching the excitement, but when they saw the situation on the execution ground, they felt a little regretful, especially they shouldn't bring their children.
The sun shines brightly above the head. The execution of the three-minute noon is a rule that has been established since the beginning of the Great Revenge. In ancient times, one day and night were divided into twelve hours, and another hundred chas. The engraving refers to the marks on the timing drip bucket. One bucket was dripped in one day and night, and it was divided into one hundred chas.
In modern society, noon is between 11:00 and 13:00, and noon is nearly 12:00. The sun hangs in the center of the sky, which is the time when the shadows on the ground are the shortest, and the time when the ancients thought that the yang energy is the most prosperous.
Killing is a sinister matter. Those who execute the punishment or those who take action are afraid of death. Dongyue believes in the existence of ghosts and gods more. It is natural that the cause and effect are the most powerful. At noon, the yang energy is the most suitable for punishment. Even if there is a ghost, the yang energy will scatter its soul!
