Rule the Ming Dynasty Alone

Today's protagonist is none other than Sun Ming, the former Marquis of Huichang.

Although Sun Ming could be executed based on the numerous crimes he committed earlier, there are still people who continue to act evil when it comes to the alchemy and iron coupons, making the Shuntian Mansion's sentencing controversial.

However, as the case of Changsheng Bank killing eighteen people was exposed, especially when Sun Ming personally killed two people, the people in the capital were eager to eat Sun Ming's flesh.

Justice was finally served, and Sun Ming had to pay a heavy price for what he had done. Today he suffered the consequences and became the first person to kill Hongzhi in half.

"Haha... It's finally time to ask Zhan, God has eyes!"

"Good deeds will be rewarded with good deeds, and evil deeds will be rewarded with evil deeds. It's not that there will be no retribution, it's just that the time has not come yet!"

"Thankfully we have a good emperor for this matter, otherwise there would never be any retribution for such a person's bad deeds!"

"Who has been accusing the emperor of shielding the Marquis of Huichang earlier? These literati can't believe even a word of it!"

"Such a wise and mighty emperor, if anyone dares to speak ill of the emperor again from now on, I will beat him to pieces like Zhao Wu did!"

…

Onlookers came from all directions like a tide, and when they saw Sun Ming's prison van appearing, they all started talking with gnashing teeth in hatred.

The sturdy prison car was opened. Sun Ming was now wearing a white prison uniform. His hair was unkempt and he looked depressed. He had long lost the arrogance he had as a marquis.

"Sun Ming, come in!" Zhao Dayan, who was responsible for releasing the prisoners on death row this time, said to Sun Ming, who was sitting motionless inside.

Sun Ming, who was sitting in the prison car, had already seen the execution platform in front of him, his eyes flashed with horror and he said angrily: "Go away! I am not going anywhere!"

"If I had known this today, why would I have done it in the first place! Now you can't let yourself go wild. How many people have died in your hands? How could you sue so many souls who were killed by you if you didn't die!" Zhao Dayan didn't have the slightest sympathy and immediately reached out to grab an iron bar. The chain dragged Sun Ming out of the prison car.

There are too many such powerful people. When they bully good people, they do not regard them as their compatriots. Sometimes their methods are even crueler than that of the Tartars.

Now he was going to be punished, and when the pain was about to happen to him, each one cried more miserably than the other, and even made people think that he was an innocent person.

But...innocent?

The powerful people in the capital are all bent on making money, and they have done illegal things behind the scenes to collect debts. As the biggest beneficiaries of private lenders, they all deserve to die.

In fact, Zhu Youtang was holding back this time. If he investigated all the cases with fault-finding, all the powerful people in the capital would probably die.

"No! No!"

Sun Ming was very fat and he tried his best to resist.

It's just that the shackles on his body couldn't be taken off at all. He was being dragged to the execution platform by Zhao Dayan like a monkey, and a dog-headed guillotine was placed in the center of the execution platform.

"No, I am writing an iron certificate in the alchemy book. No one can guillotine me!"

The moment Sun Ming saw the sharp guillotine, he suddenly felt a pain in his stomach. However, he knew that not only would he die, but he would also die miserably. He wet his pants and protested.

"It's really a cut in half!"

"This guillotine looks quite scary!"

"This is good. People who do evil things should be punished with the death penalty!"

"Speaking of which, it's all thanks to Xu Hong. If you hadn't been very careful in your investigation, you really wouldn't have discovered so many of Sun Ming's crimes!"

…

Xu Hong took some time out of his busy schedule and came to the execution ground in the West City with several newly acquainted colleagues. Seeing Sun Ming, the former Marquis of Huichang, immediately commit suicide, everyone started talking about it.

Xu Hong just smiled slightly and did not participate in the discussion of his colleagues. His eyes always stayed on Sun Ming.

The people around them only saw the excitement of this execution, but they had already seen the emperor's determination and the emperor's courage to lead the Ming Dynasty to strength.

In the past, it was unthinkable to kill even a high-ranking official, but now the emperor kills powerful people like dogs. If it weren't for Ye Qi still being useful, Ye Qi and his son would have been executed on the execution platform.

Since he has officially joined the Ministry of War, he has learned more information. Now the emperor attaches great importance to the military advice of the Ming Dynasty, and has also shouted the slogan "Strengthen the country first, strengthen the army".

Just this month, the Jianzhou Jurchens did not pay enough deer sinews as tribute on time. Now the Ming Dynasty has begun to mobilize troops, and an operation against the Jianzhou Jurchens in the Northeast was soon launched.

Now the emperor ordered Sun Ming to be killed, not only to uphold justice, but also to sacrifice the flag for the following military operations, leading an unprecedentedly united Ming army to conquer the world.

The scorching sun in April was high in the sky, and the entire execution platform was exposed to the sun.

In full view of everyone, Sun Ming's clothes were taken off by Zhao Dayan, revealing his fair upper body. It's just that Sun Ming's body is not tall and he is too fat, so he looks a bit eye-catching.

According to the usual practice, before execution, the prisoner must take off all his clothes, expose the waist, and then lie down on the cutting board of the guillotine.

Of course, there is also a more brutal method of execution, where the person is pressed down on a bench and the executioner cuts the person in half with a special long knife.

Compared with the latter, the former has a lower error rate and is more convenient to operate. However, it is impossible to succeed when encountering a fat man like Sun Ming. Therefore, the current execution method of the country has been to cut the prisoner in half with a guillotine. .

boom!

Sun Ming was dragged here and wanted to resist, but he was suddenly hit hard in the stomach. His whole body bent like a shrimp, and then he fell to his knees on the ground.

"It's so shameless!" The executioner in charge of the execution spat at Sun Ming who was kneeling on the ground after a heavy blow.

Once on the scaffold, there will be no more talk of human rights. Now if Sun Ming doesn't cooperate and still wants to show off to the Marquis, he will naturally suffer even greater physical pain.

Sun Ming's hands were quickly put into wooden shackles, and the executioner in charge dragged him to the guillotine.

The beheading was performed by three executioners. After pushing Sun Ming to the guillotine, one of them grabbed the wooden shackle in Sun Ming's hand, and the other grabbed Sun Ming's feet.

Although Sun Ming still wanted to struggle, the two men were not weak scholars, but powerful men, and they were firmly fixing him on the board.

"No, no, I was wrong, please spare my life! Your Majesty, please spare your life!"

Sun Ming was firmly pressed on the chopping board, unable to move this time. Faced with the fear of death, he kept begging with tears of regret.

Human beings are all like this, they always regret when things come to an end.

But just as Zhao Dayan said, if Sun Ming was not executed, how could he comfort the souls of so many compatriots who were killed by him?

"The hour has arrived!" When the time officer saw that the hour had arrived, he reported to Hou Zhanguan.

Song Cheng, who was wearing a third-grade official uniform, seemed to be sitting on it calmly. He turned a deaf ear to Sun Ming's begging for mercy. He directly dropped the order and said: "Behead!"

As the order was issued, the official on the execution platform verified his identity, drew a circle with a red pen on a piece of wood, and then threw it heavily on the ground.

"No! No!"

When Sun Ming saw that the execution was about to take place, he was so frightened that he peed a second time, begging for mercy as if he was very afraid of death.

"go to hell!"

"How can such a great Ming not love you?"

"Daughter, have you seen this? The traitor is about to be killed!"

…

When the people around him saw that the execution was imminent, some were unwilling to blink, while others seemed to be in tears, as they were about to witness the death of a powerful man.

Living in this era, class has long been solidified.

But as the new emperor ascends the throne and introduces new policies that benefit the people one after another, some things are quietly changing.

The most obvious thing is that today's powerful people can no longer act recklessly. The court has begun to think about the bottom of them, and no longer thinks about how to squeeze and enslave them all the time.

don't want……

Sun Ming faced the guillotine that was about to come, but he made his last plea.

At this time, he thought of his life. Because he was born into a good child, he had been favored by thousands of people since he was a child. Even the late emperor once praised himself for being smart.

It's just that all his evil deeds were discovered during the Hongzhi Dynasty, and even the iron certificates in his family's alchemy books could not avoid all his crimes, and now he is facing death.

"Master, please get on your way!" The executioner brought down the guillotine raised high, and the extremely sharp blade struck Sun Ming's waist.

puff!

ah……

As the guillotine fell, two streaks of blood splashed high. After a lung-piercing scream, Sun Ming's body had been chopped in half.

"It's really two halves!"

"He...why is he still moving?"

"Nonsense, being cut in half won't kill you immediately!"

…

The people who were watching saw that Sun Ming's body was split into two halves, but he was still alive. Some people looked very shocked, but there were also old people who explained calmly.

This is a very scary picture.

Sun Ming's lower body was already lying quietly on the side of the guillotine. Blood spurted out uncontrollably, while his upper body was also spurting out blood. However, the pain made Sun Ming crawl forward, dragging a path of blood on the execution platform.

The main organs of the body are in the upper body, so usually people who are cut in half will not die immediately. If the guillotine's body position is lower, some prisoners may take an hour or two to die.

The position where Sun Ming was struck was slightly lower this time, so he did not die immediately, but now he was simply worse off than dead.

As a large amount of blood spurted out from his body, he was so painful that he could only crawl forward, moaning in pain, and his whole body became weaker and weaker.

At this moment, the Marquis who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth was like a dying fly, dragging the rest of his body and crawling aimlessly.

At least he crawled in a straight line, but soon he reached the edge of the execution platform and turned a corner.

Why……

When Xu Hong and others saw this scene, they couldn't help but sigh.

He is obviously a parasite of the empire, and he obviously has enough food and clothing, but he still wants to harm his own compatriots. This kind of person really does not deserve sympathy.

"I've paid for it, I've finally paid for it!" Many victims clenched their fists tightly when they saw Sun Ming getting weaker and weaker.

One minute!

Two minutes!

three minutes!

…

Sun Ming struggled in pain and died, but at the end of his life, for unknown reasons, he wrote with his fingers stained with blood: "The tyrant Hongzhi must seize the door!".

This may indeed be his true thoughts in his heart. If he were a different emperor, even if he was found to have such evil deeds, he probably would not be executed.

It's just that the current Emperor Hongzhi is not interested in people, and he is simply the number one tyrant in the Ming Dynasty.

When Xi Zishou saw these eight words, he couldn't help but frowned.

If the rules didn't allow it, he would have wanted to give Sun Ming another blow at this moment.

Compared with previous emperors, although today's emperor seems cruel, he is actually a truly wise emperor.

During this period of time, so many princes and ministers were beheaded, but none of them died unjustly, especially when he saw the light in the eyes of the people watching.

As for the people in the capital, their lives are getting better and better. At least their salary can allow their wives and children to wear new cotton-padded clothes. This is something that I never dared to think about before.

If the emperor really wants to be changed, he will be the first to disagree, and is even willing to die for the current emperor.

Sun Ming seemed to have exhausted his last strength to finish writing those eight words. In a mood of reluctance and curse, he finally breathed his last breath.

"died!"

"Finally dead!"

"The sin deserves it, and the sky has eyes!"

…

The people who were watching saw that Sun Ming had finally given up, as if he had put an end to his worries. They all looked up to the clear sky and found that the times were slowly getting better.

puff! puff! puff!

Accompanying the execution were more than thirty death row prisoners. These were all villains who had killed their compatriots during the collection process. Several of them were noble sons, but now they were all executed.

Seeing the rolling heads, the onlookers finally believed that the current court was acting for justice and was no longer the corrupt court that governed the people but not the power.

After Xu Hong and others saw the execution site, they felt a sense of awe in their hearts.

Maybe they will be able to hold high positions in the future, but they must not forget their roots, otherwise their fate may not be much better than that of Sun Mingshi, and it would be a shame to die.

"Split the meat!"

After the execution, an executioner cut up the lower half of Sun Ming's body and sold it.

If there is demand, there will be a market.

Some people hate evil people from the bottom of their hearts. The peasant uprising army sharing the food of the blessed king is not a fabrication, but the way they choose to vent their hatred.

Sun Ming has long been the object of hatred by many people in the capital. When they heard that his meat was going to be sold, many people immediately rushed up to pay for the meat.

As if to create a show effect, the executioner lifted up the piece of meat he had just cut off and said: "Whoever can eat Sun Ming will not get a cent of this meat!"

The people in front shook their heads violently and even took a step back.

They are all very particular people, so naturally they want to take it home and cook it. Only those ruthless people use the most brutal method.

"I come!"

At this moment, a little old man with an unusually swollen left eye came out and said.

The people who were watching saw how brave the little old man was, so they took the initiative to give up an aisle.

The little old man took the piece of meat and put it directly into his mouth without any hesitation. However, he did not choose to swallow it raw, but chewed it like gnashing his teeth.

When the people around him saw this, they couldn't help but look at this ruthless man with admiration, and the hacker also gave a thumbs up.

After chewing it for a while, Yu Ming ignored the nausea and swallowed the piece of meat that looked like raw pork into his stomach, but tears came out of his eyes.

If Sun Ming hadn't ordered people to destroy the entire Qian family, how could his eldest daughter have died?

Although he hated himself for being in debt in the early years, he also hated people who did evil things, and Changsheng Bank was one of the culprits that caused him to sell his land and his daughter.

Now that Sun Ming was beheaded by the imperial court, his eldest daughter's hatred was finally avenged. At this moment, he felt sad and happy at the same time. And he will work hard next to try to redeem his second daughter's life as soon as possible, and also wants to witness the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty with his own eyes.
