In fact, if Yu Niang doesn’t say it, Chen Xi could roughly think that Yu Niang is planning to plead for Jiang Liwei.

Yu Niang said, "Mr. Shen, Jiang Zhenfu came here with a mansion. Although he was guilty, he asked Mr. Shen to forgive him and make meritorious service and return to the capital as soon as possible."

Chen Xi didn't reply for a long time, and then asked after pondering for a long time: "Did I not give him a chance?"

This is exactly what Yu Niang is depressed. She wanted to secretly help Jiang Li the only one, but she didn't expect that Chen Xi was "reasonable" and asked her to persuade Jiang Liwei. At that time, she went stupidly, and then she realized afterwards that perhaps it was because she went that Jiang Liwei was so tough.

Perhaps he had fallen into Chen Xi's trap from the very beginning, and Chen Xi never thought of giving Jiang Liwei a chance at all.

"Can Lord Shen give Jiang Zhen another chance?" Yu Niang asked.

Chen Xi shook his head slightly: "Even if I don't forgive his sins, you don't need to worry about his life... Please come back from Yu Zheng, I have a certainty in my heart."

Seeing that it was useless to plead, Yu Niang kowtowed to Chen Xi and said, "I am guilty of abrupt crime, please punish Lord Shen."

Chen Xi smiled slightly: "Yu Niang helped me a lot in Song Kuang's case. How could I be punished for a small mistake? Get up, if I don't leave, I will just hit people directly!"

Yu Niang had no choice but to get up, bow again, and take Xier out of the room.

Chen Xi shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly, thinking about why Yu Niang wanted to speak for Jiang Liwei.

Judging from his previous attitude, Yu Niang clearly held a "stay away from Jiang Liwei, so why is she so concerned about it now? Could it be that Yu Niang is acting in front of him? In fact, they are actually "colluding"?

Chen Xi was unwilling to think about the unfounded matter. What he longed for most now was to make up for sleepiness. He didn't sleep well in the morning. If he still couldn't rest well on the day of rest in Huizhou Prefecture, then his health would be unable to bear it tomorrow.

Chen Xi slept until noon. When Jing crossed over and called the door, it was already two minutes later, and only a quarter of an hour was left before the execution.

Fortunately, the prefect's yamen was only one street away from the most lively street entrance of Huizhou City. After Chenxi came out, he took the official sedan chair to the entrance of the street entrance. When he arrived at the execution ground, the people in the city surrounded the execution ground.

The main criminals, including Song Kuang and several officials who helped him kill good deeds, as well as bandits from Xiangtou Mountain, were kneeling under the execution ground.

There are not many swords and axe players in Huizhou Prefecture, so they are replaced by swords and axe players in the army. Since it is a execution ground in the downtown area, the place is not large and can only cut the heads of four people at a time.

After the execution, the person who executed the punishment may be fine. If the person who executed the punishment first is separated by one knife, the yin and yang will be separated forever, but the person who was punished later will be seriously injured. Seeing others' heads falling down, and thinking about his own destiny, he was scared to death.

"Governor-General is here!"

Jing Yue shouted loudly, and the scene suddenly became quiet.

In fact, Jing Yue did not need to remind him deliberately. When the people saw an official sedan chair coming, they looked at the surrounding officers and soldiers waiting for the battle, and then they knew that the governor of the three provinces, Chen Xi, was here.

When Chen Xi, wearing a big red official robe, got off the official sedan chair and climbed to the prison platform, the people surrounded him, wanting to see clearly what the young governor who had overturned the ground in Guangdong in the past year, and could even use his hands to turn the clouds and rain to turn the rain.

When many people saw Chen Xi was just a young man with two eyes and one nose, they felt disappointed.

"Bang!"

Chen Xi slapped the wood and calmed down again on the execution ground.

The awakening wood may have a good effect in the lobby, but the effect of this kind of public cooperation is actually very small. The people are mainly waiting for the execution after a long time to be executed. Now it is time for the time being, and the governor and governor have also arrived. They naturally hold their breath and wait for the bloody and terrifying scene to arrive.

In the Ming Dynasty, it is logical that the death penalty for prisoners who were sentenced to the court and then the emperor personally decided, which was also to demonstrate his caution about the death penalty.

However, as the imperial envoy, governor, Chen Xi was also responsible for military affairs in the three provinces. This time he was executed as a magistrate and subordinate officer who colluded with the gangsters. Chen Xi has concluded the case and has witnesses and evidence, he can be executed first and then reported.

"Test the correct person and execute the execution!"

At the order of Chen Xi, eight soldiers each escorted four bandit leaders to the wooden platform that was temporarily built as a execution platform, and first verify their true nature.

There is no technological means these days, and there is not even a photo. The so-called verification of the body is just a prisoner to look up and compare a plausible portrait.

Then the four people's "criminal cards" were taken off. As the prison officer, Chen Xi needed to re-trial. When Chen Xi threw out the red wooden chips, the execution began.

The four bandit leaders did not resist or struggle, and each knelt on their spot. The four swordsman held long swords and drank a bowl of wine, and spit them on the knife in the last mouthful.

The swordsman does not know each other, so as not to be able to seek life based on his voice and appearance. First, lift the prisoner's hair, the swordsman takes his place, and there is a flag on the platform. This is the rule for the swordsman in the army to execute the execution. As the flag falls, he hears an almost uniform sound of "pupupupupupu", and the four heads have fallen on the wooden platform.

"Wow!"

Although many people have seen executions, they have never seen four people chopping off their heads at once. This bloody scene made many people vomit on the spot.

"Change!"

Jing Yue shouted at the top of his voice, and someone on the wooden platform moved away his twitching body and head. He didn't have time to wipe the blood on the ground, so he immediately replaced the four people below.

Song Kuang and his subordinates were at the last.

If Song Kuang is considered to be strong, even if he dies, he will not be weaker. On the contrary, his accomplices were already scared before they could go to the execution stage.

Finally, after Song Kuang and his three subordinates came to the prosecution stage, Song Kuang raised his head and shouted at Chen Xi: "Chin Xi, you abused lynching and killed the imperial officials. I will not let you go even if you become a ghost!"

It's been here for a while and I'm still called myself. Chen Xi thought to myself that Song Kuang's official power is quite powerful.

Chen Xi spread his hands, without replying, but his face was full of teasing, which meant: If you want to take revenge, you will have the ability to become a ghost before you can talk about it.

At noon, at noon, it is the most yang energy in the day. It is said that after a person dies, even ghosts cannot be made.

After beheading, the body and head cannot be separated, and the body will not be allowed to be a ghost after death. This is the biggest punishment for the death row prisoner. Even if Chen Xi thinks that Song Kuang is dead, he will inevitably sigh. What if you are glorious in your life? In the end, you will end up with a different body and head?

"puff!"

The knife and axe driver deliberately slapped a few times, making Song Kuang wait in panic. Until his three accomplices had their heads cut off. Jing Yue even kicked three heads in front of Song Kuang, but now Song Kuang closed his eyes tightly... He was the last one to beheaded.

After all the death row prisoners were punished, the execution did not end there.

The head of the wealthy family who was confiscated last night and this morning and the owner of the big shop were escorted by the officers and soldiers to the execution platform, lying on the blood-stained place on the ground, his pants were stripped off... Everyone was going to be 50 slabs, and there was another half a year of prison.

This is already considered a blessing from Chenxi's law, otherwise these families would have to be destroyed.

"well played!"

In any era, ordinary people will have a prejudice against the officials, gentry and merchants. When they see gentry and merchants being beaten, the people are very relieved when they see it, and the cheers are resounding throughout the sky.

The officers and soldiers on the stage waved their boards and "beat" the prisoners. Chen Xi stood up, walked out of the execution ground under the escort of more than a dozen personal guards and got into the sedan chair.

Before he could return to the prefect's office, Chen Xi had already fallen asleep.

...

...

When Chen Xi woke up, it was already sunset.

Jing Yue reported in front of the bed: "Sir, the officials, gentry and merchants in the city hold a banquet in Guishan County. Please come and have a banquet!"

Chen Xi washed his cold water face, looked at Jing Yue sideways and asked, "Has it been sent to Hongmen Banquet to investigate?"

"Sent."

Jing Yue said, "The county government has searched inside and outside, and there are no assassins. I will be planning to send someone to check the guests in and out of the yamen. Keeping no one will be detrimental to you!"

Chen Xi smiled and said, "So, I must go to this banquet?"

Jing Yue grinned.

The obvious thing is that the gentry and merchants in Guishan County are now afraid of Chenxi, and it happened that Chenxi was marching and fighting, so the more abundant the food and food on hand, the better. Since he could make a note in Guishan County, he would certainly accept it.

Chen Xi ate something casually in the government office, then put on casual clothes and left the yamen gate, and took the official sedan chair to Guishan County Office. The two were separated by two streets, and there were 200 officers and soldiers escorted along the way. Not to mention assassins, even bandits were not afraid of siege in the city.

When he arrived outside the county government, although it seemed lively, there was no carriage or official sedan in front of the door. Shi Feng, the county magistrate, personally brought the county government officials and subordinates and local gentry to welcome him.

Chen Xi got out of the official sedan chair, and the officials and gentry and merchants who were about to bleed all knelt down and saluted, as if they were seeing Chen Xi as Emperor Hongzhi.

"I can't afford to you all, get up."

Chen Xi looked calm and walked forward and made a "flat" gesture. Shi Feng stood up tactfully, accompanied Chen Xi into the room, followed by a group of guards with swords, followed by officials, gentry and others who had just gotten up from the ground.

When we entered the county yard, big red lanterns were hung high, and the lanterns were decorated like a festival. There were about 30 banquets in the courtyard, and there were more than 200 guests.

Shi Feng asked Chen Xi to go to the front of the main seat of the lobby and asked respectfully: "Mr. Shen, I wonder if you need to set up a seat for all the generals?"

Chen Xi did not speak, Jing Yue glared at Shi Feng and said, "We are here to protect the Lord!" The implication is that you let us sit, do you want to be unfavorable to Lord Shen?

Shi Feng couldn't help but feel excited and forced a smile. When he turned his head, he couldn't help but wiped his cold sweat. Although he also acted as a witness to exposing Song Kuang yesterday, he was the last to surrender to Chen Xi. If he didn't make a good deal, he would become a member of Song Kuang. Of course, the most important thing was that Chen Xi needed Shi Feng, a "stained witness", which allowed him to protect himself.

Chen Xi sat down directly on the main seat, so that guests dared to sit down one after another.

But when the guests looked out at the lobby from the yard outside, the first thing they saw was the neatly lined up by the governor's yamen, especially Jing Yue, who had a wide-eyed eyes and wanted to eat people at any time.

At the beginning of the banquet, tea and wine were served first, followed by a wide range of delicious dishes. All dishes were prepared in advance and looked extremely rich. In fact, they were nothing more than chicken, duck, fish and meat that they often came into contact with in winter. The dishes were simple and uninnovative, but no guests here cared because no one came to taste the delicious food.

With the wine and food in hand, Shi Feng stood up and said, "Mr. Shen, the local gentry and people of Guishan County, I wish you a cup of wine. I wish you a smooth sailing to go north to pacify the enemy, to pacify the Ming Dynasty's borders, and to protect the peace of the country!"

As he said that, everyone raised their glasses and stood up, but Chen Xi sat in his original position, and seemed to have no intention of drinking.

The scene was a bit awkward. Chen Xi did not stand up, did not touch the wine glass, and did not speak, as if a storm was brewing.

After a long time, Shi Feng mustered up the courage to repeat: "Mr. Shen, the local gentry and people of Guishan County representing the local gentry and people in Guishan County will pay a cup of respect to you." (To be continued.)
