Chapter 1428 public trial

"These are the officials of the Manchu Qing Dynasty here?"

Han Yu asked.

"Your Highness, I checked it myself. Except for Zhao Tingchen, Governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, all of them are here."

Mu Tianbo said.

"Then where is Zhao Tingchen?"

Han Yu frowned.

Zhao Tingchen is a big man, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, who supervises the military affairs of the two provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou. If there is no Wu Sangui, he will be the emperor of the two provinces, and the government and military power will be grasped.

With him there, the troops of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces can be gathered and lead a large army to besiege them.

Although his 1st Grenadier Corps is powerful, it is also powerless in the face of an enemy with absolute numerical superiority, and may even cause huge casualties.

He is weak now, and his subordinates are very precious, and they cannot be easily lost.

"Tell me where Zhao Tingchen is. If you tell me, you can live. If you don't tell me, everyone will be executed immediately, not only yourselves, but also your family members. Even the graves of your ancestors will be dug up for you."

Han Yu stared at the officials all over the floor and said coldly.

These officials were originally local squires. After Wu Sangui came, he donated silver and transformed into officials. He was used to rich clothes and fine food.

Now those grenadiers pressed their necks with knives, and they were all terrified like quails, shaking all over.

Some have even become incontinent.

Originally, they were terrified, but now when they heard that Ling Chi was about to arrive, a few of them fainted from fright.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Han Yu sneered.

"I'm really kidding you guys, right? Put up an execution platform in the yard!"

"yes!"

Immediately, soldiers planted wooden stakes in the yard, tied officials to them, and covered their bodies with fishing nets.

Seeing that Han Yu was serious, these officials dared not hide any more, and one of them immediately shouted.

"Your Highness, I know where Zhao Tingchen is!"

"explain!"

Han Yu walked up to the official.

"It's in a small courtyard on the north side of Hanchuan East Road. That's the home of his eighteenth wife. If it's not in the house, he's probably there. This is his hiding place, except for a few soldiers. ,Nobody knows."

"Then how do you know?" Han Yu asked.

"That's my sister-in-law."

The official said quickly.

"Very well, I will send someone to verify it now, and if what you say is false, I will make you worse than them."

Han Yu said coldly.

"Don't dare, don't dare, His Highness will know when he goes down." The official responded quickly.

"Second Squadron, bring someone to have a look."

Han Yu ordered loudly.

"yes!"

The captain of the second squadron immediately led his subordinates to Hanchuan East Road.

When they arrived, they caught the disheveled Zhao Tingchen out of the kennel.

"What are you going to do? Let me tell you, I am the governor of Yunnan, Guizhou, and the commander of the xhq Han army. If you dare to touch me, I will destroy the nine races!"

Zhao Tingchen tried to calm the people in front of him with his identity.

"It was you who caught it, take it back!"

The captain said with a sneer.

A group of people were sent to the yard under pressure.

At this time, people from other squadrons also came to report that all the gates of Chuncheng had been seized, and all the soldiers had been arrested.

Those who resisted in the corner were wiped out on the spot.

Because some of them fought hand-to-hand, casualties were unavoidable. More than a dozen of them were injured, and one of them was seriously injured.

Although the casualties were very small, Han Yu was still a little unhappy.

"Severely injured must be taken care of, and those who are slightly injured must also pay attention. There must be no non-combat attrition. If you can't continue to fight, find them a job in the logistics. You can't let them live without a guarantee."

Han Yu said.

"Your Highness benevolent, I will make arrangements." Mu Tianbo said.

Seeing Han Yu's considerate arrangements for the wounded soldiers, the hearts of the other soldiers in the yard were also warmed.

What they fear most when they become soldiers is that after being disabled, they will not be able to find anything in the future. Now that Han Yu has solved their worries, what else is there to be afraid of.

Unknowingly, Han Yu's prestige in the hearts of everyone has increased by a quarter.

"My lord, how should these prisoners be dealt with?"

Mu Tianbo asked.

"A public trial will be organized tomorrow. Those who have committed the most heinous crimes will be executed on the spot. Those who are not guilty of death will be sent to the mines to serve hard labor to atone for their crimes."

Han Yu said.

"Yes." Mu Tianbo went down to make arrangements.

The prisoners in the yard were all relieved at this moment, at least they didn't have to die for the time being.

Then, they began to think in their hearts what evil things they usually did.

There are too many books to write down, and people are panicked.

Occasionally, there are minor evils, and they have trouble sleeping and eating.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the First Grenadier Corps wiped out the entire city, arrested Xiao Xiaoquan who was trying to fish in troubled waters, and hung him on the city gate for public display.

The next day, the sky was slightly brighter.

In the past at this time, the traffickers and pawns in Spring City had already started to set up their stalls.

But today, no one dares to take to the streets.

The street was deserted, and there was no one there.

"Go and drive all the people in the city to the Pingxi Palace, set up a stage, and let them have a good look at the public trial."

"But in front of Prince Pingxi's mansion is the backyard of the Liu family's compound, so not many people can stand there."

Mu Tianbo said.

"Then tear down the walls of the Liu Family Courtyard and make room for it."

Under Han Yu's order, a large area was vacated in front of Pingxi Palace, and a high platform was built in the center.

The first person to be pushed to the high platform was Zhao Tingchen, governor of Yunnan and Guizhou.

"On the stage is the criminal officer Zhao Tingchen, and the people below the stage may have grievances, and they can all redress their grievances."

Mu Tianbo shouted from the high platform.

The people below were silent.

They didn't know the origins of Mu Tianbo and the others, nor did they know what they were doing.

The ones on the stage are all women that they dare not even look at on weekdays. If they go out to file a complaint, the other party has nothing to do.

For the sake of safety, those people chose to remain silent.

Looking at the quiet people, Zhao Tingchen breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as no one dares to come forward to complain, I will not die. As long as I don't die, when the imperial army arrives, I will have the day when I will be reinstated.

Looking at the quiet people below, Mu Tianbo was a little anxious.

At this moment, an old beggar squeezed out from the crowd and shouted loudly: "Lord Qingtian, the grass people are wronged!"

"What grievances do you have, tell me quickly, my country's father is your master!" Mu Tianbo was so happy that he almost couldn't shout out.

"Caomin was originally a peddler in this city. He had a daughter named Cuilian. She was pretty. She went to the market with me that day. On the way, he was spotted by Zhao Tingchen, and she was robbed into the mansion and tortured to death. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com The body was thrown into a mass grave, I beg my lord to avenge me."

The old beggar knelt on the ground and shouted loudly.

"Zhao Tingchen, can you plead guilty?"

Mu Tianbo turned his head to look at Zhao Tingchen.

Zhao Tingchen had done this kind of thing a lot, so he was stunned for a while.

"Duke, what crime should such behavior be in accordance with the "Law of the Ming Dynasty?" Han Yu asked suddenly.

"Your Highness, beheaded."

Mu Tianbo said.

"Decisively!"

Han Yu said.

"yes."

Immediately, a grenadier drew out a long knife from his waist and swung it down. Zhao Tingchen's head immediately fell on the high platform. 16047/11278684
