We have fought to the Arctic Circle, and you want me to inherit the throne?
Chapter 84: Live Up to the World
At that time, the public was excited. How could the anger of tens of thousands of people be recorded by just a few pens?
Li Che had no choice but to change his method. He pushed each person out one by one and then asked the people in the audience whether this person had done anything wrong.
One by one, people from prominent families were pushed out and their crimes were exposed.
Everyone's face was pale, but no one could defend themselves.
Looking at the expressions of those people, Li Che knew that none of the people pointed out by the people were wronged.
Only when the head of the Zhuge family was pushed out, there was silence in the audience.
Li Che frowned and looked at the people below the stage: "Has this person never done anything evil to you?"
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.
They didn't know this one...
The Zhuge family is the most low-key among many aristocratic families. They usually hide in the inner city and never hang out in the outer city.
Li Che looked at the white-haired Zhuge Sheng, who stood there silently with his back straight, showing a certain dignity.
The dragon begets the dragon, the phoenix begets the phoenix, and the child of the mouse will make a hole.
The Zhuge family had very strict family education and had never done anything evil, so they were able to raise someone like Zhuge Zhe.
However, as a member of the previous dynasty's aristocratic family, the Zhuge family did not dare to go against other aristocratic families, so they chose to remain silent on many things.
Li Che glanced at Zhuge Sheng indifferently.
Although the Zhuge family did not take the initiative to do evil, they also enjoyed the treatment of a noble family and were considered vested interests.
The other noble families shared the food with the people. Although his Zhuge family did not directly touch the food, they also took the meat of the people from the hands of other noble families.
"Let's detain him for now and discuss it later." Li Che waved his hand.
Except for the Zhuge family, which is relatively clean, the other families are basically a den of snakes and rats.
If a family occasionally has three or five people who do not oppress the people, it is already considered a good family.
There are four or five families like the Tang, Yang, Pei, and Zhou families, among whom there are still a few members who have read the books of sages and have never done evil.
Other families are completely corrupt and all their members are evil.
The public trial lasted from noon to afternoon and ended only when the sun slowly set.
But the crowd did not disperse, but gathered more and more.
The people looked at Li Che on the wooden platform with anticipation, wanting to see whether this prince would kill so many noble families.
Qian Bin and the others looked at Li Che worriedly and tried to persuade him, "Your Highness, there are too many people here. If you kill them all, I'm afraid it will damage your reputation."
These are hundreds of lives, and the lives of people from aristocratic families.
The aristocratic families of the previous dynasty are also aristocratic families.
Since the rise of the aristocratic families, there has never been a precedent of executing so many people from the aristocratic families at the same time.
When this matter became known, Li Che would inevitably be labeled a tyrant and murderer by those corrupt scholars.
Li Che shook his head and said slowly: "I would rather bear a bad reputation for the rest of my life than betray the people of the world."
He turned to look at Qiu Bai and said:
"Drag up the criminals of the Yuwen family."
Qiu Bai bowed and accepted the order, and a group of soldiers pulled dozens of people from the Yuwen family to the front.
"The Yuwen family is guilty of heinous crimes, oppressing the people and committing unforgivable crimes. Today, by order of the Prince of Ninggu, they will be punished according to law!"
As soon as Qiu Bai finished speaking, many soldiers kicked the joints of the people in front of them hard, forcing them to kneel on the ground.
Yuwen Tai's pupils dilated as he looked at the angry faces in front of him, as if he couldn't believe his own ending.
"No, that's not true, that's not true!"
"I am Yuwen Tai! The Yuwen family has been passed down for five hundred years. Li Che, how dare you..."
Swah——
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the soldiers behind him did not give Yuwen Tai the chance to curse his own prince. They raised their swords and swung them, and the skull rolled to the bottom of the stage.
shhhhh--
Dozens of knife lights flashed by, and heads fell to the ground one after another!
Jie Ming, who was squeezed in the front, stared at Yuwen Tai's head with his eyes wide open, his mind blank.
Really...really cut it down?
Li Che frowned as he watched the headless corpses collapse to the ground in front of him.
As an outstanding young person in the 21st century, I still can't stand such bloody scenes.
Beheading is such a cruel punishment, and it's also dirty, with blood everywhere...
It would be better to be shot. A peanut can buy you a baby's sleep.
What an evil feudal society! Wouldn’t it be good for people to live in peace with each other?
Li Che felt that he was being soft-hearted again.
Suddenly, he seemed to see something, pointed at one of the prisoners and said:
"The chop missed, but the head didn't fall off. Whoever did this, hurry up and give it another blow."
A soldier scratched his head embarrassedly and stepped forward to finish off the enemy.
Li Che said angrily: "That boy, you need to practice your swordsmanship. As a punishment, you will have to eat half a bowl of rice less tonight."
Upon hearing this, Hu Qiang's huge body shook subconsciously.
Here it comes again, His Highness's most vicious torture!
After the Yuwen family was executed, Li Che ordered Qiu Bai to supervise the execution and drag out the criminals from other aristocratic families and line them up to be beheaded.
The other family heads were not as tough as Yuwen Tai. They knelt on the ground crying and begging loudly for their lives.
They would not be quiet until the soldiers chopped them off with their swords.
Dozens of soldiers chopped more than ten times, and the blades of several people's swords were bent, and then the execution was completed.
The Zhuge family, who luckily survived, were trembling with fear.
Those who had not done evil in other families fainted immediately after seeing their entire family members being beheaded in front of them.
The rest also had tears on their faces and looked at Li Che with resentment.
A young man looked at Li Che viciously and cursed:
"Prince Ninggu, you have done evil and deserve a horrible death! You killed my entire family, why didn't you kill me?"
"If you don't kill me, you will regret it. I will kill you sooner or later!"
Li Che looked at the young man with a cold expression: "I did something wrong? Are you deaf? Don't you know what your family did?"
The young man's eyes were red as he choked with sobs, "They are guilty, no doubt. But as a vassal king, you are so cruel. Does that mean you are not guilty?"
Li Che sneered: "So what if he's brutal? My sword only kills those who deserve to die. If I meet such a villain again in the future, I will kill him again!"
"You..." The boy burst into tears.
As soon as these words were spoken, the other surviving members of the aristocratic families all burst into tears.
At this moment, louder cries suddenly erupted from the audience, completely drowning out their cries.
"Mother, please open your eyes and look, His Highness has avenged you!"
"Dad, the dawn has come in Ninggu County. Rest in peace!"
"Son, why don't you hold on for another year, another year..."
The great revenge was achieved, and the people who lost their loved ones could no longer suppress their inner sadness, and years of emotions were released in an instant.
The cries drowned out the cheers and echoed throughout the city.
Li Che looked at the young man indifferently and asked:
"Can the cries of your family be louder than the cries of the people of the world?"
The boy stood there in a daze, touched the corners of his eyes, but found that he could not cry out at all.
