The most reckless man in the Ming Dynasty

The salary is meager!

This is no reason why officials can be corrupt and accept bribes!

In some respects, taking into account the initial costs invested by the court and the various welfare benefits for scholars after they became officials, Lao Zhu's family has never treated these scholars and officials badly.

However, these gentry have no sense of shame. They use the meager salary from the court as an excuse to engage in corruption and bribery without any sense of guilt at all!

On the contrary, he thinks that what he does is natural and there is nothing to feel guilty about.

This is the really sad part!

The perpetrators do not know that they are harming the people. Instead of feeling guilty at all, they take it for granted. This is a sad and ridiculous thing!

Fame and privileges, this is the preferential treatment given by the imperial court to scholars, to allow them to study and cultivate morality with peace of mind, but now it has become the basis for them to be corrupt and accept bribes!

These scholars not only take their fame and privileges as a matter of course, they also engage in corruption and amass money in the name of meager imperial salary, and they think this is a matter of course!

Shameless, nothing more than that!

Tang Hao gave the order, and Liu Congjing and others all trembled.

However, at this moment, a loud shout came from outside the execution ground.

"stop!"

"Second, kindness and forgiveness are indeed a good thing, but this should be the kindness and forgiveness that an emperor treats all people in the world, not just you officials and gentry!"

However, some lessons require such bloodshed!

The demons of the White Lotus Sect in Juzhou were in rebellion. This incident had long spread throughout Shandong, but no one thought that this rebellion was actually planned by the three parents in front of them!

Because of their selfish interests, the entire Qingzhou Prefecture was in chaos. Thousands of villages and towns were looted and massacred by rebels and bandits, and tens of thousands of innocent people died tragically!

These innocent people did not know until their death that the people who really wanted their lives were not these rebels and bandits, but the three parents and officials they usually feared!

"brute!"

When these Confucian literati use this kind of rhetoric, they can get it right even if they are wrong or right. As for whether they are reasonable or not, it depends on who is more slippery and whose debating skills are stronger.

Wang Hao's expression froze when he heard this. After hesitating for a moment, he still chose to tell the truth.

He colluded with the demons of the White Lotus Sect to rebel in Juzhou, killed tens of thousands of innocent people in Qingzhou, and even tried to frame the Marquis of Zhongshan. This is the fourth crime!

"The lower official Wang Hao has met the Marquis of Zhongshan!"

Besides, that’s a local official from the third rank!

Wang Hao was anxious and prepared to continue persuading.

Before leaving, Ma Wensheng told Wang Hao that Bian Xiong, Huang Xingfu and Zhu Maogong would definitely die, but the question was how to die!

It is enough to behead someone in public as a warning to others!

There is no need to resort to the "skinned and killed" routine again!

Because the impact is too bad!

Because Tang Hao had Zong Yue, the envoy of Changlu Yunsi Duyun in Tianjin Wei, skinned and made grass, which made officials all over the world fearful.

Wang Hao could naturally feel the alienation and indifference in these words.

Thinking of the fate of the three children, many people showed unbearable expressions on their faces.

Anyway, there is a "Benevolence and Forgiveness" sign there. As an emperor, you can't ignore it, right?

Feeling the chilling murderous intent that shook people's hearts, Wang Hao's heart sank to the bottom.

The Liu family head was full of sadness and regret, but it was too late to say anything now.

Wang Hao was startled when he heard this, then smiled bitterly and shook his head.

But the problem is, there is no need to do this!

Therefore, basically no one will believe this rumor!

But now, the facts are before everyone’s eyes!

This time, in Jinan, the capital city of Shandong Province, Zhongshan Marquis will perform this torture again. The top officials of the three local bureaus and the feudal officials in charge of local power will be skinned in public and executed in Lingchi!

Then, an inhumane skinning torture began!

What to believe?

The Marquis of Zhongshan, holding the blood-stained "Da Gao", skinned a local official who was ranked third grade?

How is that possible!

The "Da Gao" is useless now, and even the government doesn't recognize it. Who would really believe it?

And the last one, the verdict against the three of them, is even more chilling!

"Continue the execution!"

This first sentence was a reminder to Tang Hao not to continue to use this kind of torture, otherwise no official in the world would let him go. The mountains of impeachment memorials in the Qianqing Palace are the best proof!

The direct children of three people, the men were slaves and the women were prostitutes, and they were slaves for generations. This is a bit too cruel!

After all, in the minds of Chinese people, children are definitely the most important thing. Who doesn’t want their descendants to live a stable and happy life!

"You are a rebellious traitor who has brought disaster to the country and the people!"

Public dissatisfaction boiled over, and then... the government forced the people to rebel!

Water can carry a boat but it can also overturn it. If the people's resentment is not quelled, the foundation of Ming Dynasty will be unstable!

Therefore, Tang Hao has his own reasons for doing this!

Immediately afterwards, there was an overwhelming amount of rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves, which hit the three people's faces!

Caught off guard, even the soldiers from the Beijing Army behind them were innocently implicated and had to hide away immediately.

One after another, scoldings and curses resounded throughout the sky!

Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Personnel!

Tianguan Ma Wensheng's confidant won his respect and trust.

Zhu Maogong's attitude was much more fierce than him, and he kept yelling at Tang Hao.

Unfortunately, it makes no sense!

After Jin Yiwei's peeling hand was ready, Mou Bin shouted coldly: "Execution!"

"You Confucian disciples talk about benevolence and forgiveness, but it has nothing to do with me? I am not a sage and a gentleman, I am just a madman and a reckless man!"

"Did your Majesty say anything else?"

"First, since His Majesty has said that I will have full authority to handle Shandong affairs, then you, Wang Hao, should stop barking here and stay somewhere cool!"

The result is now good, because of what these three beasts did, their children will have to be prostitutes and slaves for generations to pay for the sins of the three of them!

This bloody scene made the people watching fearful!

But all this is far from over!

Because the protagonist of today’s execution has finally appeared on the stage!

"Tang Hou, there are many ways to calm the people's resentment, just behead the three of them and show them to the public. Why bother..."

They never thought that these three high-ranking parents would do such a crazy thing!

It's just this second point that really makes people take a breath of cold air.

But there is nothing to say. If you want to blame, you can only blame these three beasts themselves, they are crazy and have no conscience!

In fact, the reason why he came in person was because of Tianguan Ma Wensheng's handiwork.

Bian Xiong, the commander-in-chief of Shandong Province, Huang Xingfu, the chief envoy of Shandong Province, and Zhu Maogong, the inspector-general of Shandong Province!

But when he was ordered to come, there was nothing he could do about it. He had to face the fierce and powerful Marquis of Zhongshan!

This time, three people had to be skinned at the same time. Mou Bin mobilized twelve skinning experts from the entire Jinyiwei, including the two Jinyiwei who skinned Zong Yue last time, to take turns to perform this cruel torture without interruption. !

"How about sparing my life? Mr. Tang!"

"Save someone under the knife!"

"Wang Hao, as well as you officials, please remember this sentence for me, your salary is your salary, the people are rich and the people are anointed, it is easy for the people to be abused, but it is difficult for God to bully!"

What Wang Hao said just now is a method often used by civil servants and gentry to persuade the emperor!

"Wang Hao, do you think I am easy to deceive?"

The once arrogant Commander-in-Chief finally understood what despair meant, and was staring blankly at the red blood on the ground, in a daze.

The onlookers spontaneously retreated to get out of the way, and they saw Wang Hao, the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel, leading hundreds of officials to come over in a dusty way.

When the crimes were announced one after another, the whole court was in an uproar, and all the people were extremely angry.

"His Majesty said... Shandong affairs will be handled by the Marquis of Zhongshan with full authority!"

It is precisely because of this that everyone in the government and the public subconsciously believed that after Ma Wen, the veteran of the Five Dynasties, returned to his hometown after being promoted to officialdom, Wang Hao would be promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and the next Otsuka Prime Minister, Lord Tianguan!

Tang Hao stared at Wang Hao with evil eyes, not hiding his murderous intent!

This Wang Hao is indeed a talented official, but if he dares to intercede for these three beasts, Bian Xiong, Huang Xingfu and Zhu Maogong, Tang Hao will not mind taking care of him as well!

"Kill them!"

But the only thing Liu Congjing is relieved about is that the three culprits Bian Xiong, Huang Xingfu and Zhu Maogong will definitely end up more miserable than herself!

The soldiers raised their swords and fell, and soon Liu Congjing's head fell to the ground. All of them, including the entire direct descendants of the Liu family, were beheaded!

The gentry were taken to the execution ground one by one, and then their heads were chopped off one by one!

Wang Hao hurriedly walked forward and bowed to Tang Hao first.

"Now that you're here, just stand aside and watch to see what will happen to the common people's dog officials!"

After becoming a Jinshi in high school, Zhu Maogong gained support from his family, and his official career was smooth sailing, eventually reaching the high position of inspector.

After all, there are also Jin Yiwei in his team. Even if he doesn't say it, Tang Hao will definitely know.

It’s still the same process, still the same bloody cruelty!

Even though Tang Hao had watched with his own eyes the whole process of Jin Yiwei skinning Zong Yue, he still felt sick when he saw this familiar scene again!

"Those three beasts deserve to die!"

But now, in the eyes of the inspector, he was a beast, and he kept throwing rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves at him. This made Zhu Maogong, who thought highly of himself, almost crazy. He kept yelling and cursing, and even drank the soup. Hao, the "culprit", was also scolded!

On the other side, the chief envoy Huang Xingfu begged Tang Hao for mercy in tears.

"You're welcome, Mr. Wang!" Tang Hao responded coldly, "I wonder what Mr. Wang is doing here?"

"According to the decision of the Marquis of Zhongshan, these three Yi tribesmen and their direct descendants will be sentenced to be slaves and prostitutes. They will be executed immediately!"

As soon as these words came out, the scene that was originally full of anger suddenly became strangely quiet.

Zhu Maogong was born into a wealthy gentry family. He had never experienced any hardships since he was a child. He only had to go to school with peace of mind and take the scientific examination.

…

Tang Hao nodded expressionlessly and waved.

But Tang Hao was already impatient, and he was too lazy to talk nonsense to this guy.

Because he already understood what kind of inhumane and severe torture awaited him next!

Don’t forget that Zhongshan Hou Tang Hao once beheaded Zong Yue alive in front of the Tianjin Guards, peeled off the skin and made grass, and was executed in Lingchi!

Now the three of them are about to become the next "Zong Yue"!

Not only will you have to suffer the cruel torture of "peeling off the skin and making the grass strong", but you will also be infamy and spit on for eternity!

For a scholar and doctor, this is simply more uncomfortable than killing them!

"Tanghou!"

When Bian Xiong, Huang Xingfu, and Zhu Maogong saw Jin Yiwei coming, they immediately panicked.

Tang Hao frowned even more when he saw that the person who came was actually Wang Hao, a big shot with real power.

Peel off the skin and make grass, and you will be executed in Lingchi!

What happened in Tianjin Wei did reach Jinan Mansion, but no one believed it at all!

This sudden sound instantly attracted everyone's attention and gave Bian Xiong, Huang Xingfu and Zhu Maogong a glimmer of hope to survive!

Tang Hao frowned and subconsciously looked for information.

And as this matter spread, "Da Gao" also entered the eyes of the people again!

Since the Yongle Dynasty, successive emperors have been using various means to reduce the influence of the "Da Gao". After the Civil War, civil servants and gentry took control of the government and directly banned the "Da Gao" completely.

Huang Xingfu was crying and begging for mercy at the top of his lungs, Zhu Maogong was cursing like crazy, and Bian Xiong was in a daze with a numb expression.

"oh!"

"Tang Hao!"

After receiving the response, Mou Bin immediately commanded his imperial guards to prepare for the execution.

"I beg you!"

Bian Xiong looked at the pools of blood on the ground. He knew very well that all his family members had been beheaded in public. Although his children were not dead, they were more miserable alive than dead. They were worse off than being slaves and prostitutes for generations. Just go and die!

Wang Hao reminded in a low voice: "Earlier, Marquis Tang peeled off Zong Yue's skin and made grass in Tianjin Guards. This incident has caused an uproar in the world. The memorial to impeach Marquis Tang flew into the Qianqing Palace like snowflakes. Your Majesty also suffered a great deal." pressure!"

"After all, the holy king regards kindness and forgiveness as his virtue. If such torture occurs again and again, the officials in the world will think that your majesty is blindly criticizing his ministers, which violates the emperor's heart of kindness and forgiveness, and will also in vain damage your majesty's virtuousness. My name is Renming!”

Hearing this, Tang Hao immediately laughed.

The result is now good. Marquis Zhongshan likes to sacrifice the "Da Gao" when he has nothing to do, and he also skinned a local official who was ranked third grade in public in accordance with the "Da Gao" law, so that more and more people Paying attention to "Da Gao" again, this is the result that no one wants to see!

After all, no one wants to have a sharp blade hanging over their head, which may fall down at any time and stab them to the core!

Therefore, the purpose of Wang Hao's trip was not to save the three beasts Bian Xiong, Huang Xingfu and Zhu Maogong, but to prevent Zhongshan Hou Tang Hao from skinning them and continuing to expand the influence of the "Great Edict"!

"Marquis Tang, think twice!"

There is no way, this torture itself is very cruel and cruel!

He, Tang Hao, was not a psychopathic murderer, so naturally he couldn't adapt to such bloody and violent scenes.

Skinned and killed, people shudder to hear this title, let alone the three of them who are about to be executed!

For a moment, the three of them begged for mercy, crying and reflecting on themselves, hoping that the Marquis of Zhongshan would be generous enough to let them go.

The three top officials of Shandong Province are acting in completely opposite ways at this moment, but they will all end up with the same fate in the end!

Mou Bin picked up the file and read out the three people's sins in public!

Abuse of power and persecution of loyal people is the first crime!

"Marquis Tang, I am here just for the purpose!"

In other words, in his eyes, these ignorant people in Guizhou are just ignorant beasts and horses, and they are not worthy of his questioning at all.

After years of pampering and bossing around, Zhu Maogong has long thought highly of himself and has always looked down on these foolish men, women, and foolish people of Guizhou.

Corruption and bribery, misappropriation of national interests, and plundering people's wealth and support are the second crime!

Colluding with Japanese pirates for smuggling and profiting, which led to the corruption of the Japanese capital, and the people along the coast suffered from Japanese pirates' plunder. This was the third crime!

Wang Hao!

This second sentence is a common saying among civil servants and gentry.

"Yes, I did it on purpose!" Tang Hao sneered: "I just want you officials and gentry to remember what will happen to the common people!"

"You deceived the emperor and killed the court officials violently. Your fate, Tang Hao, will definitely be even worse than mine!"

"Tanghou..."

No matter how ferocious and ruthless the Marquis of Zhongshan was, he couldn't really skin someone. Ling Chi had to execute him, right?

"In that case, what did you just say, "Save one under the knife"?"

Tang Hao's face was expressionless when he heard this, his sharp eyes stared at Wang Hao, and then he sneered.

Mou Bin was quite clever. He had long been hiding on the far side. After reading out loudly the various crimes committed by the three of them, he also read out the verdict issued by Marquis Zhongshan.

For example, Emperor Hongzhi, the leader of the Ming Dynasty's resurgence, was a typical representative who suffered greatly from it. He was almost fooled by these civil servants and gentry!

It is said that because Tianguan Ma Wensheng was too old, his eyes were dim and his ears were not working well, so all the affairs of the official department were actually handled by the Wang Shilang.

After Mou Bin read out the verdict, he immediately looked at Tang Hao.

The three of them were all disheveled and looked desperate, no longer as calm and calm as before, but their performances were different.

The three top officials of the three local divisions were tied directly to the wooden stakes at this moment. Some people had already guessed what would happen next.

"Open your dog eyes and see clearly. What these three beasts have done has aroused public resentment. If you don't want the court to lose the hearts of the people of Shandong, then get out of here!"

For a moment, the people watching were a little scared and a little excited!

They really wanted to see if the "Da Gao" was really useful, and if Marquis Zhongshan really dared to skin this beast!

It's not because this penalty is too light, but because it's too damn cruel!

Yi Clan, there is nothing to say about this. The crimes committed by the three of them are too numerous to mention, and there are also two unforgivable crimes of rebellion. That is for sure for the Yi Clan!

The second group of prisoners, the family members of these three beasts, were beheaded on the spot in public display!

"His Majesty is already aware of what happened in Shandong Province and has ordered all Shandong officials to be suspended for investigation. These colleagues behind the official are here to replace them and maintain the normal operation of the government!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Hao commanded the soldiers to drive Wang Hao and other officials aside.

It is not unreasonable for Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang to severely punish corruption!

Now this rotten Ming Dynasty needs to use these severe punishments to scare officials all over the world!
