The days when I fished in Daming

Chapter 282
At the end, only the sound of retching was left.

Fortunately, it wasn't Zheng Xiong who was watching alone, nor was Zheng Xiong retching alone, but it wasn't so eye-catching.

I don't know how long it took before Zheng Xiong regained his composure, staring blankly into the distance.

Where am I and what am I going to do, it seems like a short memory loss.

The same is true for hundreds of officials, and the execution process was extremely long, and those who couldn't bear it still sat limply on the ground, allowing the filth to stain their bodies.

From the afternoon, to lighting the lamps, from shrill screams to inaudible gasps.

I don't know the years, and I don't know how many years have passed.

At some point, a voice appeared in front of Lao Zhu.

"Your Majesty, the execution is over, and both of them have passed away."

Lao Zhu, who looked like a sculpture, turned his neck and looked sideways at Mao Xiang.

"Oh, dead? Cheap them!"

"Let's bring up the people from Liufu and the relatives of the head of the driving department. All the men will be cut off, and the female family members will be cut off except for the girls who will be sent to the Jiaofang Division. Immediately, execute immediately."

"promise."

The plaza, which was originally silent as if exchanging pleasantries, woke up all the officials again with the sound of cries and begging for mercy.

Before they could recover, the executioner on the stage raised his knife and fell, and heads rolled down one after another.

The officer of the military department who was receiving the gift money nearby completely collapsed at this moment when he saw the head so close at hand.

Crazy, totally crazy.

Shout out and go crazy.

Nothing hits people more than a single event.

As if foreshadowing his own fate.

Not only those who are close, but also some who have ghosts in their hearts.

The execution this time seemed to have broken the last line of defense of these people, causing them to lose control of their bladder and bowels.

In addition to the smell of blood, the whole square also smells of stomach acid, and now it has some stink, which is extremely sour.

Seeing this scene, Lao Zhu's expression finally changed slightly, as if he had fulfilled his psychological expectations and eased up.

"Mao Xiang, bring these officials who received the gifts to see me."

"Yes."

These military officials who had lost their minds had no power to resist in front of Lao Zhu's personal guards. When they saw Lao Zhu, they kowtowed to Lao Zhu as if they had hope.

"Your Majesty, don't kill me, I will hand over the gift money, no, I will return it twice, I just ask Your Majesty to spare my little life."

Kowtow like pounding garlic, panicked.

Lao Zhu suddenly showed a smile and said very kindly.

"I won't kill you, as long as you explain clearly the dirty things in the Ministry of War, it's not difficult!"

"It's not difficult, it's not difficult, I'll just say it."

"Mao Xiang, you take them down to make a record, every detail, for us to remember."

"promise."

Only then did Lao Zhu stand up slowly and exercise his muscles.

Min said to the pale-faced officials around him, slowly letting out a sigh of relief.

"Everyone has worked hard, let's hold a banquet today, everyone!"

The matter finally came to an end, the whole day, except for some breakfast in the morning, I didn't drink a drop of water.

Hearing Lao Zhu's words suddenly, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said yes.

But the body didn't respond, it wasted a lot of strength, but it was unmoved, as if it had taken root and settled on the ground.

Zheng Xiong's eyes were dull, and it was the same. Although he was young, he still had injuries.

At this time, it was already too much.

Like a marionette, following the flow, he approached the main hall.

Fortunately, the environment inside is much better than the outside. After a while, Zheng Xiong finally recovered a little.

His eyes gradually brightened.

But today's Lao Zhu obviously doesn't want everyone to have a good time.

The promised food is there, but it is all meat.

Zheng Xiong picked up a piece of meat, looked at it casually, and thought of something, then wowed again, and retched.

The same is true for a large part of the officials, especially those outside the hall, which are sour and authentic.

This is all right, I didn't eat a piece of meat, after the blessing of this meat, after all, some people couldn't bear it anymore and fell to the ground.

That's it, Lao Zhu hasn't let go of everyone's intentions.

After finishing his meal calmly, Lao Zhu took the information from Mao Xiang and read it carefully.

In front of these frightened officials of the Ministry of War, the trivial matter of the Ministry of War was presented in front of Lao Zhu without reservation.

There is no doubt that Shangshu of the Ministry of War received gift money.

What matters is whether there are other things, whether the negligence or malfeasance is serious.

As a result, everyone spoke in the same voice, and the final results all revolved around the Minister of War.

He had to do things after receiving the gift money, and the Minister of the Ministry of War was no exception, and he didn't care about the report.

And he also said a word specifically, confirming the inaction of the Minister of War and the ironclad evidence of accepting bribes.

No words are worth a word.

"In the future, many matters of the Ministry of War will not be reported to the higher level, and will be sent back to the Ministry of Officials against the law."

This sentence may have shown authority at the time, but judging from it now, it is undoubtedly the fact that the Minister of the Ministry of War accepted bribes.

It's not just one or two people, it's everyone saying that.

Lao Zhu was quite calm, his voice was very loud, and his words filled the ears of all the officials.

"Mao Xiang, you led someone to copy the mansion of Minister of War for us tonight."

"promise."

When everyone heard this, their eyes turned black, and one wave came after another. This was endless, and it was really unbearable.

However, Lao Zhu did not continue this matter.

Those who can eat are eaten, and those who cannot be eaten are dying.

Lao Zhu was still ruthless and considerate, and let everyone go.

"Everyone, you have worked hard today, go back and have a good rest, and we will meet again tomorrow morning."

What a devil can say, everyone is numb, but fortunately there is a little buffer, and they say it immediately.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

The relieved people walked back home slowly with heavy hearts and heavy bodies.

People like Zheng Xiong who were completely useless were arranged by Lao Zhu and sent back home, which was very considerate.

At Zheng Xiong's home, Zheng Qi and a group of family members are anxiously waiting for Zheng Xiong.

It was only after seeing Zheng Xiong's return that he breathed a sigh of relief. It was really a change in the capital. A large number of officials were called to the palace, making people uneasy.

So Zheng Xiong's delay in returning made his family feel at a loss.

Zheng Xiong's appearance was really miserable, he was half dead, Han Yue'er saw Zheng Xiong's appearance, her eyes were filled with tears.

Zheng Xiong really didn't want to talk, and didn't explain to his family, so Wei Hong helped him into his room.

Although the family members were puzzled, they could only hold back their doubts and wait for the next day to ask.

Early the next morning, Zheng Xiong had to drag his heavy body to the palace before he recovered his energy.

The psychological shadow is really too heavy, this scene is always dreamed at night, and I woke up several times in the middle of the night.

This matter has not passed, so I can only get up early and go to court to see the situation.

This morning, the shadow in Zheng Xiong's heart became heavier.

When passing by the palace gate, a corpse stood at the door.

Taking a closer look, it was Liu Qian who was executed, so you thought it was a fraudulent corpse?It scared a lot of people.

But it wasn't much better. When it was introduced that it was a specimen made of skinned grass, it felt even more creepy.

The early dynasty was also a follow-up process. The Minister of the Ministry of War was cut off, and the whole family was exiled.

And as long as the gift exceeds 60 taels, none of them will be spared, and they will be dealt with as corruption, and they will be chopped off.

The rest who did not receive the gifts were all exiled.

The entire military department was almost taken over in one pot.
