    Snapped¡ª¡ª

    Yang Lian slapped the table with his palm, stood up angrily, shook the confession in his hand, and cursed: "You are also people who have read the books of saints, and this is how you practice the teachings of saints? You people are simply unconscionable and deserve to die."  !¡±

    "Come here!" Yang Lian threw the confession in his hand and shouted: "According to the confession, all officials below the third rank will be dragged out and executed!"

    "It's unjust! Sir, we didn't participate in the Chenjiazhuang case. It's really unjust to be beheaded like this!"

    "Yang Lian! Even though you are an imperial envoy, you kill innocent people indiscriminately. The adults in the court will not let you go!"

    "Yang Lian, you are such a dog official. In order to gain fame for yourself, you actually did such a crazy thing. You will definitely die a good death!"

    Hearing Yang Lian's order, the officials kneeling in the lobby suddenly became confused. Although Henan Prefecture is the largest government in the Central Plains, the prefect Lu Shengqiao is only an official of the fourth rank. Now that Lu Shengqiao is dead, all those left behind are fourth-rank officials.  Officials below grade!

    As soon as Yang Lian issued this order, it can be said that almost all the officials in the Henan Prefecture were killed. Those officials saw that their lives could not be saved, but they did not care about anything. Some cried and complained, and some complained.  There are also those who yell and curse!

    Suddenly there was chaos in the lobby. The Jin Yiwei who was standing in the lobby immediately rushed up and beat him severely. Soon the lobby became quiet, and only suppressed cries and painful wails echoed in the lobby!

    Yang Lian looked at the officials coldly, raised his fists to the sky and said: "It is a law decreed by Emperor Taizu Gao that any official of the Ming Dynasty who embezzles sixty taels will be killed without mercy, and they will peel off the skin and make grass to warn those who come later. Who among you has embezzled less than sixty taels?"  ?¡±

    At that time, Lao Zhu came from a poor background and hated corrupt officials the most. Not only did he set the minimum salary for officials in the Ming Dynasty, he also formulated strict regulations. Any official who embezzled more than 60 taels would be killed without mercy, and he would also be skinned.  Grass!

    This so-called peeled straw should actually be called peeled daylily. After killing a person, the skin is peeled off, made into a bag and filled with straw. It can be said to be an extremely cruel torture!

    When Lao Zhu conquered the world and became emperor, he used this trick to deal with corrupt officials. He beheaded the corrupt officials, then peeled off their skins and made straw. Then he put the corrupt officials' skins at the entrance of the Yamen or in the Tutu Temple, so that his successors would be alert!

    It's a pity that after Lao Zhu died, the civil servants gradually took the initiative, and no one mentioned the matter of embezzling sixty taels before peeling off the real grass. In fact, all the officials in Henan Prefecture who were arrested today never thought about themselves.  He will lose his head because of embezzling money and land!

    But the criminal law is just a decoration when not in use. Once it is used, it is something that no one can stop. Now that Yang Lian has moved Zhu Yuanzhang out, the officials who were crying endlessly just now are all dumbfounded!

    It's just that the officials were dumbfounded, and the guards on duty were not stupid. Since the imperial envoy had given the order, they were naturally not polite. They carried all the officials out of the lobby and still pressed them in front of the pile of heads.  All the clicks were chopped!

    When have the people of Luoyang ever seen such a scene?

    Question the case in court!  Kill in court!

    And hundreds of officials were killed at one time. It can be said that all the officials in Henan Prefecture were killed today by Yang Lian, the imperial envoy!

    However, although the people were frightened, the evidence of those corrupt officials' evil deeds was conclusive and could not be denied at all. The people could only applaud them for killing such corrupt officials. Suddenly, the people watching the excitement outside the lobby burst into joy. The family members of the criminal officials saw this.  I didn¡¯t dare to cry anymore, so I could only leave in despair!

    After more than a hundred officials from Henan Prefecture were beheaded, Yang Lian turned his attention to those gentry again. At this time, those gentry no longer had the idea of ??luck. They really saw it. Yang Lian today  He didn't come to try the case at all, he just came to kill someone!

    Indeed!  In the frightened eyes of the gentry, Yang Lian said with a sullen face: "As a family of gentry, you are also educated people, why can't you get rid of the word greed in your heart?"

    Those gentry have already lost three of their souls and two of them, and now all they can do is kowtow and beg for mercy!

    Yang Lian looked at them and continued: "It stands to reason that you are not officials. You can seize some land by force and just go back. But some of you have killed people on your hands in order to seize people's fields. Such people are not officials."  No tolerance!"

    As soon as Yang Lian said these words, he immediately kowtowed to the gentry as if he had received amnesty and said, "Your Majesty, the imperial envoy knows that although I have occupied some fields, I don't have half a life on my hands. Your Majesty, the imperial envoy, have mercy."  Just spare the little one!"

    ?Yang Lian ignored these people and directly called out the names of more than a dozen people according to Zhang Shi's confession, and then said to the Jin Yiwei: "Put these people in prison, and then go to find the victims to complain. I will make them pay with blood."  !¡±

    Those dozen people knew that their lives were in danger, and they were all so frightened that their bodies and legs were weak, and they were all dragged away by the Jin Yiwei like sacks!

    Seeing that Yang Lian did not pronounce his name, the remaining gentry felt relieved and waited to see how the imperial envoy would deal with them!

    Yang Lian looked at these people and said: "Although you have no lives on your hands, you usually bully the villagers and do a lot of things to find people and property, especially the land that His Majesty decreed to reward to the tenants of Prince Fu's Mansion. You dare to get involved."  , tell this matter to the public and punish you, it is not an exaggerated crime for you to deceive the emperor, resist the decree and disobey the emperor!"

    When the remaining gentry heard this, they immediately became stupid!

    ????????????

    Disobeying the decree!

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­

    But before the group of people could react, Yang Lian changed the topic, raised his fists to the sky and said: "Your Majesty often says that human life is of paramount importance and should not be ignored. I also feel that God has the virtue of a good life. Although you have some sins, you are still somewhat guilty.  I still have some sense of awe and have not done anything crazy, so I have decided to give you a lighter sentence and spare your lives, which can be regarded as giving you a chance to change your ways!"

    Those gentry felt as if their hearts had just sunk into the abyss, and were suddenly pulled back again. This feeling of ups and downs was really exciting!

    But since there is no need to ransack the house and exterminate the family, the group of gentry was naturally willing, and they all kowtowed and said, "Thank you for not killing me. I will definitely change my ways and never dare to do anything illegal again!"

    However, Yang Lian changed his tone again and said in a cold voice: "You may be exempted from the death penalty, but you cannot escape from the life crime. Today, our officials sentenced you to have your property confiscated and your whole family to be consigned to slavery for five years. Do you have any objections?"  "(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
