"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 314
The prestige of the Qinghe army is growing day by day, and Chen Zi'ang personally promised to re-examine the criminals. Apart from being grateful, the people also put down their weapons such as kitchen knives and sticks one after another, and the tense atmosphere dissipated a lot.
Chen Ziang stepped forward, and the people crowded on the street turned sideways one after another to make way.
Li Lang and others followed closely behind, and they walked to the execution ground at Caishikou.
This is a slightly messy intersection, and the dark red masonry is slightly different from other places, because those countless years of blood soaked and stained red.
At this moment, a group of court officials in Chinese costumes knelt under the eaves beside them with shackles, and soldiers of the Qinghe Army with swords in their hands watched over them solemnly.
On a bullock cart that smelled of blood, more than 20 corpses were piled up in a mess.
These corpses were court officials who had already been executed, and they were dragged outside the city to be buried together after the executions were completed.
"The 100-member General Yue Shan of the Third Banner Battalion of the Twelfth Banner Regiment has met the general and all the officers!"
The person in charge of supervising the execution was a general of the 12th Banner Regiment. Seeing Chen Zi'ang and the others pushing through the crowd and approaching him, he hurried forward to salute in a false alarm.
"Show me the criminal list."
Chen Ziang saw Yue Shan, the hundred-man general who ran over to salute, nodded his head, and ordered.
"Hurry up and get the list."
Seeing that Chen Ziang wanted to see the list, General Yue Shan didn't dare to neglect him, so he hurriedly turned his head and shouted.
Soon, a list of people to be executed was sent to Chen Ziang, and there were dozens of people.
"Who approved these lists?"
Chen Ziang flipped through the lists, and asked Yue Shan, the general of hundreds of people.
"If you go back to the general, this is all approved by our battalion general." Yue Shan replied.
Han Feng, the head of the 12th Banner standing by the side, also added: "General, according to your instructions, after entering the city, all court officials and big households who have committed serious crimes will be severely punished. I will hand this matter over to the third The banner battalion commander will do it."
Chen Ziang nodded, because he ordered so. He has always used killing to establish his prestige against those corrupt officials who do evil and oppress the people.
After Chen Ziang looked through the list, he didn't find the name of Qin An who the people pleaded for.
"Is there Qin An here?"
Chen Zi'ang turned his attention to the court officials who were kneeling under the eaves and waiting for execution.
"I am Qin An."
A thin young official with disheveled hair raised his head and answered.
"Qin An's name is not on the list, why is Qin An included in the list?"
Chen Ziang's complexion sank, and he turned to ask Yue Shan, the hundred-man general who was beheading him.
General Yue Shan also realized that something was wrong. Facing Chen Ziang's questioning, he was a little dazed and didn't know how to answer.
"The general asked you something, what's going on?!"
Han Feng, the head of the Twelfth Banner, also noticed something strange, and couldn't help kicking the hundred general Yue Shan who was standing there in a daze.
"General, I am illiterate. Master Qianren gave me the list and the prisoners, saying that all of them should be executed, but I didn't check them one by one"
The hundred general Yue Shan was stared at by Chen Ziang's cold eyes, and he also felt a chill down his back, so he hurriedly explained.
Naturally, Chen Ziang would not believe Yue Shan's one-sided words, and he ordered: "Go, call their thousand generals over, and confront them face-to-face."
"No!"
Several personal guards came out immediately, and under the guidance of a soldier, they went straight to find their thousand generals.
Chen Ziang didn't expect that such a strange thing would happen to him, that someone would drop his bag and make a crime.
If the people hadn't gathered together to intercede for Qin An, the envoy who governs millet, he would still be in the dark.
And the common people can now see clearly that the Qinghe army also distinguishes between good and bad. Although Qin An is an official of the court, he was not included in the beheading because he had not done anything bad.
And now the reason why he appeared on the list of executions is that someone replaced someone else with him.
When the personal guards went to call the general who was in charge of this matter to confront him, Chen Ziang was also turning his head rapidly, thinking about this matter.
But he thought about it,He felt that some officers of the Qinghe Army were bribed, so he recruited some people to replace those who should have been executed.
"General, general, we haven't found anyone."
Soon, the guards who were sent out to look for the Thousand General came back and reported to Chen Zi'ang that they searched several places, but they couldn't find the Thousand General from the Third Banner Battalion.
"General, I will go in person."
Han Feng, the head of the Twelfth Banner, did not expect such a incident to happen in their banner regiment, so he decided to go out in person to clarify the matter.
The Twelfth Banner Regiment had just been incorporated into the Qinghe Army, and now it is very likely that the officers under him accepted bribes and replaced criminals. The key is that they were caught by Chen Ziang.
Han Feng, the head of the flag group, also feels his cheeks are hot now, and he absolutely cannot tolerate such things.
Chen Ziang also gave Han Feng, the head of the banner, a face, so he asked him to take someone to find him, and asked him to stop beheading all criminals, and re-examine and check to avoid causing manslaughter.
For the criminals at Caishikou, Chen Ziang also personally read their names, and re-examined them.
I don¡¯t know if I don¡¯t check, but I¡¯m shocked when I check, because only half of the names on the list to be executed match the people on the scene.
Chen Ziang carefully asked the people around him about the reputation and identity of the captured officials.
Surprisingly, most of these officials who were arrested for execution were low-level officials in the provincial capital, and even some low-level characters.
However, none of the heinous people on the list to be executed have been dropped.
The hundred general Yue Shan who was in charge of the execution was also terrified, because he could not read at all.
His general of thousands of people told him that it would be fine to take them directly to Caishikou and kill them, so he didn't think much about them, thinking that these people were the most heinous people, so he didn't look at the list.
"Let them all go to me."
After confirming that Qin An and others were arrested by mistake, Chen Ziang immediately announced their release.
Although they were former court officials, they had a good reputation among the common people.
Chen Zi'ang has never been a bloodthirsty person. He just punishes those who commit the most heinous crimes severely. For these officials who have not made any serious mistakes and did things to the people, even if they were enemies, he will not hold them accountable.
Qin An and others were released from the shackles and regained their freedom. Although they walked through the gate of hell, they were able to survive now. This feeling of ups and downs made them feel like they were dreaming.
"You are Qin An, Lord Qin, right?"
When Chen Ziang saw Qin An who was talking with the people, he also walked over with a smile.
Because he led his troops all the way to attack the city and pull out the stronghold, most of the court officials were rotten to the bone, and the people hated him deeply.
But now there are countless court officials who are desperately trying to save the people. This is the first time he has seen it, so he is also quite curious about Qin An.
