I want to ruin the country
Chapter 199: There is no way for misfortunes and blessings, only people call it upon themselves
When the confession reached Yining's hands, it did not surprise Yining.
"Choose a day and execute him together with Eltai and the others!"
"Are they all going to be beheaded?"
"Skin Eltai, behead Xing Guodong, behead the others, and behead Mu Zhang'a along with them. Sentence them to life imprisonment!"
"Mu Zhang'a is not killed?"
Yining said with a wicked smile,
"I can't kill all the people my father left behind for me, otherwise where will my father's reputation be?
But don't tell him about being beheaded, I'm going to scare the shit out of him!"
Lin Zexu smiled slightly. The emperor still had a childish mind. He could even joke about such a big thing!
On the day of the execution, several streets near Caishikou were placed under martial law early on.
The soldiers of the Infantry Commander's Office were stationed every three steps and every five steps. The soldiers all stood facing outward, holding horse whips or red tasseled spears in their hands, wearing bright armor and standing straight!
The roadsides on both sides of the street were crowded with people. Fortunately, there were soldiers to suppress them. Anyone who crowded in would be whipped.
If there were no soldiers to suppress the crowd, there would probably be a stampede!
Not only the streets, but also the walls, roofs and distant buildings were full of people.
The shops on both sides of the road are doing particularly good business today. Not only are there many people buying things, but some are also buying space!
Especially the second floor of the restaurant, which has long been fully booked by wealthy people. Sitting upstairs, drinking a little wine, looking down from the window from a high vantage point, their self-esteem is greatly satisfied!
At nine o'clock in the morning, a long line of prison vans arrived!
In the first prison car was Mu Zhang'a, in the second was Qi Ying, in the third was Eltai, and in the fourth was Xing Guodong.
Then, in a row of prison vans behind were more than 20 officials of all ranks, including Daxing County Magistrate Liu Hongxi and Changping County Magistrate Hu Luanxing.
Behind the officials were Zhang Moting and his men, and behind them were Ma Yu and his other young masters.
Behind them are some bald-headed monks and nuns!
I wonder if these monks and nuns felt honored to be executed together with the top officials of the dynasty.
Notices were posted everywhere in the capital, clearly stating who the people who were to be beheaded today were and what crimes they had committed.
When people learned about the crimes of these monks and nuns from the notice, they cursed them.
"They are completely devoid of conscience. I thought they were kindhearted, but I didn't know they were more vicious than snakes and scorpions!"
"They keep saying 'Amitabha', but their stomachs are full of thieves and whores. Killing them is too easy for these bald donkeys!"
"Don't go to temples to burn incense and worship Buddha when you have nothing to do. There's nothing good about it!"
"Guanyin, the Goddess of Childbirth, you conceived a child like this after all this fuss. You're wearing a green hat, it's really green!"
The common people had already prepared rotten vegetable leaves, stinky eggs, stinky tofu and other things. When they saw the prison van coming, they would smash the things in their hands on the heads of whoever they hated!
Every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor. People should take revenge when they have grudges and seek justice when they have injustices.
Mu Zhang'a and Qi Ying conspired to rebel and kill the emperor, which was what the people could not tolerate the most. Although people did not have many personal grudges against them, they suffered greatly just because of this one thing.
The rotten eggs alone have made my nose, eyes, and head swollen. There are so many of them!
Eltai was beaten the hardest. This kind of guy with a beastly heart is even more hated. He looks harmless, but he is cruel and ruthless when doing things. He killed an entire family for money and life. It is against the will of heaven!
Xing Guodong was also hit hard. You embezzled the country's grain, which is the life-saving food of the people. You didn't let the people survive. How could the people not resent you?
Not to mention Ma Yu and the others, they have been doing evil in the capital for many years, and people want to cut them into pieces!
In a short while, he was beaten to a pulp!
Originally, Zhang Moting was not from the capital, and no one knew him, so there should not be much public outrage in the capital. However, they never expected that many villagers near Pingxi Prefecture would come and specifically look for their prison van to smash them.
Before they even reached Caishikou, the prison van was already filled with people being thrown into it. Their heads were dripping with egg liquid and rotten vegetable leaves, and they couldn't even see their faces!
If you can't see their faces clearly, you won't know who is who. Common people have a way. If you can't read, ask them.
"Is there any gentleman who can read who could show me the name on the card?"
Those who can read will say, this is so-and-so, this is so-and-so!
Fortunately, the government did not allow people to throw stones, tiles or anything like that, otherwise, they would have died before they even reached Caishikou!
People not only voted, but also cried, shouted and cursed!
"Zhang Moting, you beast, God has opened his eyes, and you have come to this day!"
"Ma Yu, you damned fool, return my daughter's life to me!"
"Liu Hongxi, my father will never forgive you in hell!"
There are also those who cry and shout out their gratitude,
"Your Majesty, you have avenged our family!"
"Your Majesty, I kowtow to you. Long live your majesty!"
All these things made the noises one wave louder than the other, and the people were so excited that it was beyond words.
Zhang Congzhi arrived nearby early, bought some wine and offerings, and waited by the side with a tray, ready to offer sacrifices to his father and brother!
He had a good idea. He planned to block the road and offer sacrifices when the prison van came. Unfortunately, when the prison van actually came, he couldn't squeeze in at all.
No one let him go, and the deafening crying and cursing made it impossible to hear anything!
Even if someone heard it and saw him carrying the sacrifice, they would not give way. These people are extremely sinful. If you go to worship them, you are not a good person either!
Some even wanted to beat him up, but seeing that he was just a child, they spared him and let him go. There was no need to even think about giving way!
Zhang Congzhi was a little kid, short and weak, and he couldn't squeeze in after trying for a long time.
The tray in his hand was squeezed off, the wine jug on the tray was broken, and the offerings fell to the ground and were crushed!
Zhang Congzhi was helpless and ran to the side, squatting on the ground and crying silently!
He was sad, and someone patted his shoulder.
"Zhang Congzhi, someone is looking for you!"
Zhang Congzhi looked up and didn’t recognize him!
Wiping away tears, he said,
"We have never met before, why are you looking for me?"
The man smiled.
"Come with me, you'll know when you get there!"
Zhang Congzhi had done nothing wrong and was not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. He didn't say much, but stood up and followed the person who came.
The man took him to Juxianlou, which was located on the roadside in the middle of Caishikou.
This restaurant has three floors. The first and second floors are packed with people, and the windows are even more crowded!
The visitor took him to the third floor, but unexpectedly, there were soldiers guarding the stairs and ordinary people were not allowed to go up.
The man showed the badge in his hand, and the soldier raised his hand and let him go without saying a word!
When I came inside, I saw that the third floor was very quiet, with only a few people sitting at a table by the window.
Zhang Congzhi came closer and recognized the emperor. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed.
"This kid greets His Majesty!"
Yining Road,
"Get up and talk!"
After Zhang Congzhi stood up, he lowered his head and said nothing!
