Chapter 102 The Punishment of the Rebels
"Father, all the rebels are in prison."

Peter reported the results to Mircea, and a total of more than a thousand people were arrested.Many boyars were implicated, and many of them were either well-established or wealthy.It can be seen how powerful they are.

"Okay, okay! It seems that I don't have to show mercy to them."

Grand Duke Mircea intends to physically destroy them all, but also worries that more people will be scared.

Just at this moment, a somewhat blind-eyed attendant knocked on the door and came in.

"What's the matter?" Mircea asked him darkly.

"Grand Duke, the prime minister said that the punishment part of the code has been compiled, and asked whether it should be released first."

"Let go, and the trial must be judged by law."

With the approval of the Grand Duke, the penal part of the code began to be implemented in the courts.The first major case of the trial was Boyar, who was arrested for the rebellion.

This caused an uproar in Wallachia, after all, these boyars had a great influence in Wallachia.

Peter took the job and put Petkov in charge of the details.If you can't even deal with him, then you can only use the last resort.

In the dark interrogation room, the screams of prisoners, the waving of whips, and the crackling of burning wood can be heard endlessly.Boyar, who had never experienced anything like this, was terrified when he saw this battle.

"Hmph, coward!" Abraham looked at these people and said disdainfully.

"You don't need to do this, you will soon be like them." Petkov whispered beside him, which showed that the other party didn't know how this adult who was born as a prison guard would pry his mouth open.

He then set aside Abraham and the other boyars.Started torturing other timid nobles.

The whips soaked in salt water rattled in the air and lashed at these people, and soon a few more screamed.

Where did these boyars suffer such injuries, and soon their bodies were covered with scars.Their voices were already hoarse, and some of them couldn't stand it anymore, so they told the whole plan.

"It was Abraham who planned it, it was all him."

"Yes, it's all him, it's all them."

Abraham looked at them, and a pang of anger built up inside him.These traitors shouldn't be pulled in.

"My lord, how do you feel?" Petkov asked Abraham, who still said stiffly.

"Hmph, are you really going to do this to me?"

"I want to remind my lord, you are no longer that lofty boyar, you are just a prisoner of rebellion now."

It wasn't until this moment that Abraham started to panic. The Grand Duke was determined to kill him. If that was the case, then he didn't have to show respect.

He insulted Mircea loudly in prison and cursed his son to die.Soon he was held down by the jailer and given some physical therapy.

Thanks to Petkov's efforts, Boyar's plans and plots were brought to Mircea's desk.

Even the good-tempered Grand Duke overturned the table angrily when he saw this.Books and papers were scattered all over the place.Among them are several letters to and from Osman.

"If you cut him off, I'll cut everything up."

Peter also saw Mircea's anger. He asked the others to retreat and "persuaded" the Grand Duke himself.

"Father, it is hateful for them to rebel, but there are at least 60 Boyar families involved in it, and if they are all arrested now, if they are all killed, then Wallachia will be in chaos."

Mircea was still angry, and he didn't listen to his son's persuasion at all. "What, you still want me to keep their lives, how can there be such a good thing."

Peter fully understands his father's anger. This is treason, not an ordinary crime.But there are too many Boyars involved, and it will still be chaotic if it is not handled properly. At this time, Osman is sending troops, and the years of hard work will be in vain.

"Father, there are still many places in the country that need to be developed, and a lot of labor is needed."

Peter changed the subject and began to talk about domestic labor issues.And Mircea also understood, saying that he should think about it.

Soon, the result of the treason case came out.The verdict is read out by the clerk.

73 people including Abraham were sentenced to beheading.

123 people were hanged.

68 people were punished into the monastery, 45 people were blinded, and 32 people were castrated.

The rest were all reduced to slaves and assigned to work in various workshops.

Boyar's land and property were all confiscated, and it took half a month for the statisticians to calculate the amount of Boyar's property.

"15 Venetian gold coins, 2000 florins, 360 carolines, and various gold and silver coins. After conversion, the value is [-] million lei."

Mircea was stunned, he did not expect Boyar's wealth to be so great.

"Father, this is just cash." Peter said from the side.

"Is there any more?" Mircea continued to ask.

"Grand Duke, the next step is the land castle and other properties. The value will not be less than 500 million lei."

Hearing this, Mircea was a little dizzy, so much, but Wallachia can only collect a little tax.What does this make the Grand Duke think.

To be honest, Wallachia's financial reforms are naturally possible in areas where the Grand Duke has strong control, but where the nobles are, they can only act according to the faces of the nobles.Naturally, very little or no tax is collected.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Mircea took the local power into his own hands, which was a big step towards centralization.

The execution lasted for several days, and many people went to watch it.Some of them were farmers who were oppressed by these people. They were released by the Grand Duke and obtained their own land. Naturally, they are grateful to the Grand Duke.

When Abraham's prison cart appeared, some people wanted to tear him to pieces. Their family was too cruel to farmers like them.Countless people died at their hands, and now they are going to die, but they are so happy.

"Mircea, one day you will end up like me. You must die...I want...I want..."

Abraham was really afraid when he saw the executioner.He struggled to break free, but was quickly led back to the guillotine by soldiers.

His head was pressed against the stake, and the executioner sharpened the axe, swung it a few times around his neck, and chopped it down.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

It didn't cut off the first time, and then he cut it a few more times before finally letting him die.After counting, he finally chopped six times. I don't know if it was because the ax was not sharp or because his neck was too stiff.

The others did not escape either, and they all took their own lives.Henceforth, they will be written in the history books as rebels.Everyone will spurn them, and if anyone reverses the case for them, everyone will beat that person to death.
