Chapter 270: Strike and ask

After Yi Tusheng took over as the governor of Nanjing, he launched a bloody and harsh search outside the entire inner city of Nanjing. The scope of the search was neither age nor a man nor a woman. Anyone who felt suspicious behavior was arrested and tortured back to the Jinyiwei Beizhenfu Department, which was temporarily formed in Nanjing, was tortured and screamed. If the family had money, they would ask for money to redeem it. If the family had money, they would still be beaten to death in prison. Do not care whether he was wronged or not, and if he had money, he deserved it. Yi Tusheng issued a strict order to the Ten Thousand Jinyiwei, and even if he was digging three feet of the ground, he would dig out the assassin.

But what's annoying is that before the assassin caught him, another incident occurred in Nanjing. I don't know who reported a "abdication edict" that said it was written by "Emperor Tianqi" and wanted to abdicate the throne to Emperor Jianwen's descendants. It clearly stated: "I think it was wrong for Emperor Chengzu to dismiss Emperor Jianwen. Although I was young, I was very polite, righteous, and honest, so I decided to return the throne to Emperor Jianwen's descendants. If Emperor Jianwen's descendants immediately went to the palace to meet the throne, I would definitely give in to the throne."

On the day the edict appeared, a large group of people appeared at the gate of the palace, all claiming to be descendants of Emperor Jianwen. Yi Tusheng and the little emperor didn't know what was going on. How many descendants of Emperor Jianwen appeared? After asking carefully, they realized that apart from such a thing, the little emperor was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He even beat his favorite concubine Sinaya. He was furious and jumped up and down, and ordered Yi Tusheng to immediately clear the abdication edict and investigate the culprit. The little emperor was really anxious this time and kept blaming Yi Tusheng for being unfavorable. After so long, he didn't catch the assassin's culprit. Now another inexplicable "abdication edict" appeared. Yi Tusheng also felt extremely stressed and felt that he could no longer be careless.

Yi Tusheng first led a thousand Jinyiwei to arrest all those who claimed to be descendants of Emperor Jianwen, and then tied them to dress up one by one, tortured them with various tortures from Jinyiwei to treat them, such as playing zithers, planting onions, scrubbing, standing heavy clips, and copper trumpets. They were all used. They were tortured but hundreds of prisoners died in the imperial prison, but they did not ask any clues. They were so anxious that Yi Tusheng paced back and forth like an ants on a hot pan: "What should I do? What should I do?" Yi Tusheng decided to kill a warning to hundreds, and by the way, to see if anyone would stand up, so he pushed twenty prisoners into the downtown area to kill them, and arranged two thousand Jinyiwei around in advance to wait for people to rob the law.

Yi Tusheng felt that if the person who issued the abdication edict was a person with a sense of pride, he would definitely come out to rescue these people.

On the guillotine in the court, Wu Mengming knelt among the traffickers, looking alert to the suspicious figures in the searcher crowd. He was Yi Tusheng who could arrange to capture the man on the spot when someone came to save the person. It was the first time that Wu Mengming was on the beheading platform and was still a little nervous, for fear that the executioner would accidentally chop off his head.

On the prison, Yi Tusheng was worried. Jinyiwei Qiango Tianji, Gao Jianxian, Xia Yu, Yang Xian, and Ling said that they stood on the left and right sides of Yi Tusheng, showing off their might and arrogant. The atmosphere in the field was very tense. The executioner's ghost-headed sword was about to break out, waiting for Yi Tusheng to issue an order.

Someone sent a jar of wine to more than twenty executioners. The executioners in red color sprayed the large blade like a guillotine with the fine wine in the jar and washed it with the strong wine, waiting to chop people's heads. Yi Tusheng became more and more anxious, and looked up and saw that it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon, but why was there still no movement?

Tian Ji didn't know Yi Tusheng's thoughts, so he said to Yi Tusheng: "Sir, there are so many dreams at night." Yi Tusheng said: "How long is it until three o'clock?" Tian Ji looked at it and said: "It's still half an hour!" Yi Tusheng thought to himself: I want to see if you can come out! "Let's wait!" Everyone endured the scorching sun and continued to wait. Finally, it was three o'clock in the afternoon. Suddenly, three cannons sounded in the law field. Dongdongdongdong!

Tian Ji said: "Sir, the time has come."

Yi Tusheng held the token in his hand and threw it down, saying sternly: "Knife, axeman, do it!" Dozens of executioners walked forward together and raised the ghost-headed sword at the same time. Under the sunlight, millions of light radiated from the ghost-headed sword's sword, and the person who was looking for it could not open his eyes.

Among the onlookers, someone suddenly took the lead and shouted, "I'm wronged, it's wronged!" Yi Tusheng was overjoyed and shouted, "Stop, who was calling for justice just now?" The executioners immediately put down their ghost-headed swords and stared at the audience, but there was no movement in the audience. Yi Tusheng thought to himself: It must be the troublemakers who made trouble and ignored him.

"Continue to execute!"

The executioner raised the swords of the prisoners and pressed their heads on the wooden pier. Yi Tusheng ordered again: "Strike and ask for a knife!" The executioners' swords immediately pressed down. Of course, the fake swords that were chopping at Wu Mengming were not deprived of his life at all. The executioner raised the ghost-headed sword and chopped down. A stream of red blood gushed out, spraying everywhere, and more than twenty human heads rolled out like watermelons in the watermelon field. The crowd was scared to retreat like a tide.

The executioners had prepared steamed buns, grabbed them and stuffed them into the cavity of the death row prisoner, and the blood stopped immediately. This was a method, and they used this method to stop the bleeding during the execution. There was a child who had been coughing, and his eyes showed a hint of emotion. His father said to him: "Child, don't worry, after eating the bloody steamed buns in a while, your tuberculosis will be cured." I don't know who said it.

The man was killed, but none of the assassins and those who forged the abdication edict appeared. Wu Mengming had already stood up, and the knife and axe handler helped him loosen his ties, and returned to Yi Tusheng, saying, "Sir, we have been in vain. These guys are not good people at all. They don't eat this at all."

Yi Tusheng sneered and said, "It's not necessarily a waste of work. Didn't someone just shout "unfairly"? I saw that man running west. You follow him and follow him, and you will definitely be able to find out what happened." Yi Tusheng pointed casually, and everyone saw a thin figure with a hat running towards the opposite side of the alley.

Wu Mengming and Ma Xiu Yu Chen responded and immediately led a team of Jinyiwei to chase after him.

The man from the hat ran for a while and seemed to notice someone behind him. He was running faster and faster. He was obviously not weak in his light skills. He was about to throw everyone off. Wu Mengming was anxious and ordered everyone to speed up his pace and chase him. He stopped tracking and directly issued a command to capture him. However, the man took them to turn left and right and turned around for several circles, but disappeared. Finally, Wu Mengming and Ma Xiu Yuchen stopped in front of a tavern in Xicheng.
