At the end of Song Dynasty: I want to be the master of ZTE

Chapter 318 Death penalty

The emperor decided to move the capital to Chengtian Mansion, and most of the imperial agencies accompanied him, but there were a few that did not move, such as the Imperial College.

Zhang Bochun was in charge of Guozijian for four years. He first transferred to Jiangnan East Road to learn Zheng, and then transferred to Jinghu North Road to be a magistrate.

At this time, Zhu Qing was in charge of the Imperial College, and Xiao Sui Cao Gui was still the same as before, just like when he was the Imperial Guard of the Capital, with nothing to say about his character and average abilities.

Just today, a team of police officers walked into the Imperial Academy.

All the students coming and going looked sideways.

Imperial students have the privilege of being able to write to the emperor, comment on people's livelihood, and impeach the prime minister. Ordinary bureaucrats are not willing to provoke them, let alone mere arrests and the like.

Tong Yi walked straight to Zhu Qing's official residence without squinting his eyes.

Zhu Qing led someone to stand at the door early and said, "Yao Yu is here. He has been expelled from school. Take him away. Don't disturb other students."

Yao Yu was shocked and shouted: "Teacher, why is this?"

Tong Yi said in a deep voice: "My father, Yao Yuguo, committed murder and took credit for his crimes, and he also robbed and killed business travelers. The evidence is conclusive. The three departments will review it, and your Majesty will personally approve it with his own pen, and the clan will be executed!"

"What do my father's sins have to do with me?" Yao Yu shouted subconsciously.

Tong Yi sneered and asked: "If your father hadn't taken advantage of the opportunity to inspect the capital, how could you have been able to enter the Imperial College? If you hadn't entered the Imperial College and had to be revoked from school before being arrested, why did you wait until today to arrest me? And your father used stolen goods to Purchasing farmhouses and shops is the source of your wealth and wealth, so you should be guilty of the same crime!"

Yao Yu couldn't argue, her legs went weak and she collapsed to the ground.

"Take it away!" Tong Yi waved and shouted.

Before the imperial student could be punished, he needed to be expelled from his school, so time was wasted. Yao Yu was the last one to be arrested.

At this time, other prisoners from the Yao family had already entered the prison, and all their property was confiscated.

A group of detectives took Yao Yu and took a boat along the canal back to Beijing, which only took three days.

Returning to the Yamen, Tong Yi asked Zhang Bian, the new Minister of Punishment, to return his orders.

This was a major case that Wen Tianxiang focused on supervising, and since it reached the highest level, Zhang Bian naturally attached great importance to it.

"The criminals and their families were gathered together, and according to the imperial decree, they were beheaded as a sacrifice to Luo and Sun, and the women and children were exiled.

It happened that Prime Minister Wen was hosting the funeral for Luo and Sun tomorrow, and he happened to bring the criminals there for sacrifice. "Zhang Bian said.

When Wen Tianxiang conquered Jiangxi, Zhang Bian served as a staff officer. His military ability was only average, but he was a good political hand and managed all matters in Jiangxi in an orderly manner. Therefore, he was promoted step by step to the deputy general manager of Jiangnan West Road General Manager's Office.

Zeng Yuan was appointed as the general manager of Jinghu South Road, and Zhang Bian took over as the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. Such a person certainly knew how to hug his old boss tightly.

"I just hate that Yao Yuguo threw himself into the water and died." Tong Yi said.

Zhang Bian said: "A person's crime will not be punished by death. Showing the owl's head to the public is enough to wake up the world."

After speaking, he went to Wen Tianxiang to report the situation.

The next day, the gold medal opened the way, and Prime Minister Wen personally led the way. The emperor's personal guards carried the coffin, followed by a huge crowd of people eating melons to see Luo and Sun off.

Luo Xiuxiu's merits were not small, and she should not have been treated with such courtesy. However, she was killed and falsely claimed the merits. Her nature was too bad.

On a grander scale, this was a major event that the imperial court was unable to protect and could even shake people's confidence. Therefore, the imperial court arranged for Luo and Sun's future generations to be high-profile.

When he arrived at Yuhuatai, the priests from the Ministry of Rites greeted him and read out the posthumous title from the imperial court.

Luo Xiuxiu was granted the title of Marquis, and Old Man Sun was granted the title of Viscount, and they both entered the Hall of Heroes to enjoy the sacrifices of the country.

The tomb has been dug, and Wen Tianxiang wrote a poem: "Ten years of injustice have been buried deep. Once the truth is revealed, I will see my true body. Now I can enter the Hall of Heroes. I will not let the emperor down in the next life." After reciting the poem, Wen Tianxiang waved his hand and said: "Come on. , offer sacrifices.”

The first thing that was brought up was Yao Yuguo's head. He was indeed a ruthless man and he drowned himself.

Although he was exempted from beheading, he was still beheaded and his head was used as a sacrifice for Luo and Sun.

The heads were placed, and Yao Yuguo's four sons were brought up one after another.

The executioner swung his ghost-headed sword, and four bloody heads fell to the ground, and were immediately placed in front of the two men's graves.

The melon-eating crowd cheered endlessly, but they also saw the determination of the court.

At the same time, in Yancheng County, Huaidong, a group of more than fifty policemen passed through the city gate and headed straight for Dongshi.

When they arrived in front of Li's rice store, the leader waved his hand, and everyone behind them dispersed, surrounding the rice store.

There were several rice-buying customers in the store. They were all scared out of their wits when they saw this. Just as they were about to go out, the leading police officer shouted: "Squat down with your head in your hands. If there is any abnormal movement, you will be treated as a thief and you will not be shot!"

Most of the arresters in this team were veterans in the army who served after they retired, and they had an extremely fierce aura. No one dared to move as soon as the words were spoken.

At this time, the boss Li Wu shouted: "Officials and villains, you are an honest merchant. Why are you doing this? Why are you doing this!"

The arrester didn't reply, and only asked a few guests to go out for interrogation. Then he looked at Li Wu and asked, "Why, do you really think that you can get away with it once you reach the boundaries of Yancheng, Mr. Meng Wu?"

Li Wu's heart skipped a beat, but he pretended to be calm, and said, "Why did the official say such a thing, the villain really doesn't understand?"

"Meng Wu, Meng Qi's fifth son, fled to Yancheng under the pretense of being a refugee, changed his name and naturalized as a citizen, and opened a rice shop." The catcher sneered, "You think I'm just here to play tricks?"

Realizing that his identity had indeed been revealed, Meng Wu yelled: "It is said that the two armies are fighting each other for their own masters, and it is natural for them to use their own methods. Officials are famous for their benevolence, so why do they chase and kill the family members of the enemy generals?"

"Oh!" The head catcher said disdainfully: "Meng Qi is originally a Han, so it's fine to be devoted to the Tartars, but Li Heng's gangster feeds on people, but he doesn't stop him as a counselor in the army, so he should be punished as an accomplice.

Today, the decree is issued to the three tribes of the barbarians, and it is announced to the world, but it will help the tyrants to be dealt with as above. "

"My father has nothing to do with him. He is just participating in the discussion. Why did he stop Li Heng?" Meng Wu continued to complain.

"As you often say, it is ridiculous to claim to be loyal to the emperor by devouring his salary and being loyal to him, but when faced with atrocities, he has no excuse.

Even if you can't stop it, why don't you abandon your official position and run away?Even if you don't become a Song official, you can just go back to the countryside!
Meng Qi did nothing and just sat back and watched [-] people become bloody food in the mouths of the Tatars. Wasn't he complicit? The head catcher was too lazy to say more, waved his hand and shouted: "Come on, take it down, if there is any abnormality, kill his wife!" "

In a word, Meng Wu didn't dare to move.

When the Song army invaded Suzhou (Suqian), Meng Qi and his family moved to Pei County. Later, the Yuan army was defeated in the Battle of Xuzhou. Meng Qi ordered his family to continue moving and split up. Among them, Meng Wu pretended to be a refugee and went south to settle in Yancheng. .

At the beginning, the war was fierce and there were countless people fleeing, many of whom had no household registration certificate and could fabricate their identities at will. I thought everything was safe, but I didn't expect that their traces would still be discovered.

Seeing that his wife and children had been kidnapped, Meng Wu was unwilling to give in and asked: "Official, can you tell me how to find out the villain's identity?"

The so-called hiding in the city is really unreasonable.

The catcher didn't bother to pay attention to him.

In fact, it was luck, because Yancheng was close to the sea, and there were many business travelers, but I didn't want a Suzhou native who was unlucky in the past to lose money in business, so he could only buy rice to cook for himself, and happened to be at Mengwu's rice shop.

It can only be said that the Skynet is sparse and not leaking out, and you may be able to escape for a while, but you will never be able to escape for the rest of your life.

What awaits Meng Wu is that his entire family will be beheaded, and his women and children will be exiled with no possibility of pardon.
