I rode and slashed unparalleled in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 702 Ice and Fire

A few days later, the north of Hongnong City was crowded with people.

Jia Xu was ordered to build a large parade ground here. In addition to accommodating the army for the Western Expedition, he also built a tall execution platform and viewing platform.

Now, not only did the common people in the city flock here and fill the parade ground, but the representatives of the two major families of Yang and Liu in Hongnong and the heads of other small and medium-sized families were also invited to come and filled the viewing platform.

"Have you heard about it too?"

"Yes, the Zhang family is finished. It's all over."

"That's hundreds of people. It's going to take a whole day to kill them!"

"Wouldn't that mean rivers of blood would flow?"

There was a lot of noise and discussion around the parade ground.

The people looked shocked and awed, and were full of anticipation and curiosity about the upcoming public execution.

The expressions of the representatives of the aristocratic families were much more complicated.

Most of them had expressions of fear on their faces. Many of them had not yet gotten over the beheading of the Zhao family at Caishikou and the incident of mutual reporting. Now they had to witness the fall of the Zhang family with their own eyes. It was hard not to make them feel the same way.

As a result, many people criticized and even complained:
"What champion marquis? I think he is no worse than Dong the thief."

"Devil, what a devil!"

"Shh, keep your voice down, don't you want to live?"

Young Master Liu hurriedly reminded him, and the complaining young man from aristocratic family immediately shut up, his eyes full of fear.

Indeed, now in Hongnong, Su Yao's reputation is at its peak, and no one dares to easily offend him.

In the center of the parade ground, the execution platform stood tall. Su Yao, dressed in armor, stood on the platform with a heroic demeanor, his eyes as sharp as torches, scanning the people below.

Behind him were the Chiyun Knights and officials from the County Governor's Office lined up in neat rows. They were on high alert and maintaining order at the scene.

"My fellow citizens, I have called you here today so that you can witness the victory of justice with your own eyes."

Su Yao's voice was loud and powerful, cutting through the noise of the crowd, and his words were full of firmness and determination.

"The Zhang family and other powerful bullies have been running rampant for a long time, bullying the good, and committing numerous crimes yet they have repeatedly gotten away with it."

"However, the law is long and wide, and nothing can escape it. Now their evil deeds will finally receive the due punishment they deserve."

"Today, I hereby announce that all male members of the Zhang family, including this thief chieftain, who are taller than the wheels, will be beheaded in public to serve as a warning to others!"

Su Yao's words were powerful, and every word seemed to carry a thousand pounds of force, striking heavily on everyone's hearts.

Among the crowd, Mr. Lin, who was standing at the front, was in tears. With trembling hands, he knelt down on the ground holding his son's new spirit tablet, and was so excited that he could hardly speak.

At this moment, he seemed to see the smile of his son's spirit in heaven and felt the long-lost justice and fairness:

"Marquis Guanjun, you are truly the justice for the people of Hongnong!"

Mr. Lin shouted while choking with sobs. Although his voice was weak, it immediately evoked waves of resonance.

"Champion Hou Weiwu!"

"Long live Su Junhou!"

Standing next to Mr. Lin were the people who had been persecuted by the Zhang and Zhao families in the past.

When they heard Su Yao's words, they immediately shouted "Long live Su Yao!" The shouts rose one after another, resounding through the sky.

They shouted Su Yao's name, applauded and cheered for him, and brought the atmosphere on the training ground to a climax.

Su Yao himself walked up to the execution platform and enthusiastically carried out the execution of Zhang Yan himself.

"The auspicious time has come."

"What else do you have to say, thief?"

Su Yao, holding a big knife, walked step by step towards Zhang Yan, who was tied up and pressed on the executioner's platform, and asked with a smile.

Zhang Yan's face was pale. He struggled desperately, staring with red eyes, and couldn't utter a word.

"Oh, by the way, your tongue has been pulled out, so you can't speak."

After approaching Zhang Yan, Su Yao lowered his voice and said in his ear:
"Zhang what? It doesn't matter."

"You think that with the power of your Zhang family in Hongnong, you can do whatever you want and oppress the people, right?" "I was busy with my work and didn't want to deal with your trivial matters so quickly, but you actually dared to take advantage of me and provoke me."

"In that case, I will accompany you and send you off - to hell to regret it."

After Su Yao finished speaking, he no longer gave Zhang Yan any chance. He raised his knife and a head rolled to the ground, with blood splattering everywhere.

On the parade ground, the crowd suddenly burst into cheers again.

The death of Zhang Yan marked the complete destruction of the Zhang family in Hongnong, and also sent a clear message to everyone: no matter how powerful your family is, as long as you break the law and anger Su Yao, you will not escape legal sanctions.

Next, Su Yao retreated to the platform and handed the execution task back to the executioners.

The male members of the Zhang family were taken to Xingtai and executed one by one. Their despair and wailing echoed among the crowd.

The people watched this scene, some cried quietly, some gnashed their teeth, but more people showed expressions of relief and pleasure.

After the execution, Su Yao stood up again, his eyes swept across the silent viewing platform, and he said loudly and forcefully:
"The Zhang family's demise today is their own fault."

"But I hope you can learn a lesson from this and take it as a warning."

"Although the world is in chaos now, it is not a place where scoundrels can fish in troubled waters."

"I swear to clean up the world and restore peace to the world."

"If anyone dares to test the law and has evil intentions, the fate of the Zhang family will be a clear proof."

"No matter where you flee to, I will bring you to justice!"

hiss--

Su Yao's words were like ice that pierced his bones, making everyone present feel an indescribable huge pressure.

They all took a deep breath, and one by one they came out and clasped their hands and said:
"Champion Hou Yingming!"

"Champion Hou Weiwu!"

"What the Champion Marquis said is absolutely right!"

"Don't worry, Marquis Guanjun. We are all law-abiding citizens and have no intention of doing anything wrong!"

"That's the best way."

Su Yao nodded, and then he announced that the confiscated property of the Zhang family would be confiscated and used for public welfare projects such as road construction and relief for the people, so that the Zhang family’s disaster would become a blessing for Hongnong.

This immediately attracted a lot of praise from the crowd.

However, Su Yao was not stunned, and he quickly proposed that these noble families contribute manpower and manpower to assist in the project:
"For such a good deed, I dare not take credit for it."

“Therefore, I decided to share this opportunity with you.”

"From the royal family to the common people, I welcome everyone to join us."

"Everyone can contribute money and manpower to help Hongnong recover from the chaos as soon as possible and make it better and better!"

Su Yao's words were magnanimous and appropriate, as if it was a great thing that he was going to share with everyone.

But those noble families are all shrewd people. They immediately realized that this would still make them bleed.

It is true that building and rebuilding roads will benefit local people.

However, their estate economy was self-sufficient and the need for transportation was not urgent.

On the contrary, smooth roads will weaken their control over the place.

Therefore, as soon as Su Yao finished speaking, they all looked miserable.

However, given the Zhang family’s case, no one dared to speak out against it.

Su Yao took a look and laughed again:
"No need to embarrass yourself."

"If I say this is a good thing, then it is a good thing."

"I declare that all those who have made contributions that meet certain standards will not only be recorded in detail in the county annals, but I will also erect a monument in Hongnong to engrave your good deeds and righteous deeds on it, so that they will be passed down to future generations."

"Those who make outstanding contributions will be rewarded nationwide!"
