Chapter 468
When Hong Niangzi led the crowd in person and entered Luoyang City, Zhang Shun and others were beheading Henan magistrates, Tongzhi, judges and other officials at the entrance of Luocai City.

A large group of common people surrounded the vegetable market with three circles inside and three circles outside.

The red lady looked strange outside, so she ordered the little girl Jian'er to run over to have a look.Jian'er looked at the huddled crowd, and had no choice but to call for two big men to clear the way ahead.

She followed behind herself, squeezed in with great difficulty and had a look, her pretty face turned pale, she turned her head and squeezed out again, found a tree to support her and vomited for a long time.

Jian'er just wiped his mouth, patted his chest with lingering fear and ran back to report: "Ma'am, the master is killing people inside, there are several bloody heads there, scaring the slaves to death!"

"Rewarded by the ancestors, slaughtered by the society" is the earliest record of the place of execution in ancient China. The place of reward is used to express the benevolence of one's ancestors, and the punishment of killing is used to express the majesty of ghosts and gods.

It was only later that most of the crimes were "killed in the city" so that more people could see them, killing chickens and monkeys, and deterring lawbreakers.

The "city" here can be a bustling commercial street, or a vegetable market with many pedestrians in the morning and evening.

In fact, with the virtues of officials in the late Ming Dynasty, ten officials were corrupt and nine were corrupt, so killing them was a matter of course.These people usually hold high positions, and there are not many direct contact and conflicts with ordinary people, and it is difficult for ordinary people to know whether they are greedy or not.

What's more, whether to kill or not to kill is also in Zhang Shun's mind.According to common sense, unless they plunder and leave, in order to ensure the normal operation of Luoyang City, a large number of original officials should be retained.

As a result, when the soldiers under Zhang Shun's command confiscated tens of thousands of hundreds of thousands of goods and thousands of shi or even ten thousand shi of grain from these people's homes, Zhang Shun couldn't help but want to "remove harm for the people"!

In the spirit of "the mountain is never too high, the sea is not too deep", and the wealth is not too much, how can Zhang Shun let go of such a few big fish?
Besides, killing these birdmen can not only buy a wave of people's hearts, but also make room for the newly recruited Xu Quan, Hong Jinyang, Li Xijiu, Wang Maozhong, Sun Chengzong and Songyang Academy students, so why not do it? Woolen cloth?

A set of public trial, sentencing and on-the-spot execution, Zhang Shun beheaded several people in succession.While carrying out the execution, they asked Xu Quan and a few students to read out the crimes of the murdered person and Zhang Shenyan's "Appeal to Discipline".

There hasn't been any sensational events in Luoyang City for a long time, and everyone has heard about the commotion and rushed over to watch.When the incident reached its climax, from time to time, the common people roared and shouted: "Good job, kill this dog official!"

Just when the crowd was fighting vigorously, suddenly there was a commotion among the surrounding people, and suddenly a few strong men desperately pushed a passage.When the crowd dispersed, a woman in red with an extraordinary temperament came out in front of everyone.

Zhang Shun raised his head and saw that the visitor was none other than the red lady whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Zhang Shun couldn't help showing a smile, he beckoned to Zhao Lizi who was beside him, and ordered him to continue dealing with these officials in Luoyang City, and he quickly went up to meet them.

The red lady is still as beautiful as when Zhang Shun saw her for the first time. Although she is three or four months pregnant, but the clothes of this era are loose, Zhang Shun can't tell that she has a slight bump abdomen.

He stretched out his hand to smooth out a strand of hair that was blown by the wind for her, and said with a smile, "Why are you here?"

"Why can't I come?" The red lady turned around and straightened his clothes, and said with a smile, "If you don't come again, I'm afraid you will really make a hole in the sky!"

"It's too dangerous here, you shouldn't come!"

"But I'm already here." The red lady smiled softly, "Not only am I here, but Li Xiang is also here. Mr. Song is also here, Zhang Sanbai and Ma Yingniang are here too!"

"Although your life is not a pity, everyone's lives are tied to you. If something happens to you, I will not be able to live alone!"

"Why didn't Sanniang come?" Zhang Shun looked up at these familiar faces and asked after a moment of silence.

"I left her in Baodu village! After the Zhang family can't be extinct, if we all die, someone can burn incense for you later! Chen Changzhu is the most loyal, and I entrust him with all the affairs of the village. If this cannot be done, Sanniang and Shiwu Zhouquan can still be protected with him around!"

Zhang Shun stared at the red lady for a while, then turned his head to look at Li Xiang, Song Xiance, Ma Yingniang, Zhang Sanbai and others.He moved his mouth, wanting to say something but didn't know where to start.

At this moment, Liu Rushi saw the crowd coming, and also sneaked over.She didn't pay attention to other people's expressions, she only thought that Zhang Shun and Hong Niangzi were there to express their parting feelings, so she secretly waved her hand to greet the little girl Jian'er.

Jian'er was a little afraid of the blood over there, so she turned pale and hurriedly waved her hands, not daring to come over.Seeing that she was afraid, Liu Rushi couldn't help trying to scare her.She lightly lifted the lotus skirt and stretched out her small embroidered shoes, trying to kick one of them as a kick.

Liu Rushi raised his foot and kicked it falsely.Jian'er screamed "Ah" in fright, and quickly hid behind the red lady by her sleeve.

It doesn't matter what Jian'er called, it immediately destroyed the originally heavy atmosphere.

The red lady frowned, glared at Liu Rushi, then stretched her arms around the trembling arrow, and patted it lightly.However, she said: "This is not a place to talk, let's go back and talk about it!"

What is the place to talk on the execution ground?Zhang Shun hurriedly called Xu Quan and asked him to take a few students to assist Zhao Lizi in arranging the execution, and then took them to Fu Wang's Mansion.

How luxurious is Fuwang's Mansion, but everyone didn't want to watch it.Zhang Shun also called Zhang Shenyan over, ignoring the travel and dust, and everyone started discussing matters in the living room.

Originally, Zhang Shun had nothing to do with "throwing a firecracker in the toilet" with the mentality of "stirring the shit", trying to mix up the water in the big tomorrow.

Taking Luoyang City, he had already expected the seriousness of the matter.But he didn't expect the matter to be so serious, even to the point where his wives and concubines would come here to express their will to die.

Originally, he was a bachelor, came and went naked, so he was afraid of something.But now he is no longer alone, his life and death can already determine the life and death of tens of thousands of people, so he must live, and to live requires victory.

Zhang Shun no longer solicited everyone's opinions this time, and directly made a conclusion: "Luoyang is surrounded by mountains and rivers. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It can be the capital of the world. Since it was captured by me, it must be hated by the court. It will not be more than ten days. There must be a large army coming to encircle and suppress. How to defend and how to fight, let's talk about the countermeasures!"

Zhang Shenyan was startled when he heard the words, and was speechless for a while.Seeing that everyone was silent, the governor said, thinking of his own experience in defending the city, he said: "The way to defend the city is to have the will to die, the soldiers have the will to fight bravely, the city has solids to defend, and there is food to eat inside." food and drinkable water, and there are reinforcements outside, it is said that it can be defended.”

"When Zhang came here, he didn't know what the city was prepared for, so he didn't dare to speak nonsense. But when it comes to guarding the city, Zhang's talent is no more than a firefly, and he dared not compete with the sun and the moon, so as not to miss the important matter of the lord."

"If my lord is willing to defend, I can recommend someone to make Luoyang City as strong as gold. Even if a hundred thousand troops come to attack, they will come and go in vain!"
