"This is naturally. I can kill your entire family on the charge of treason, but what's the point of raiding your house?"

Zhu Youlang spread his hands and said, "It depends on you when you choose."

Even ants can live in silence, let alone humans.

Sun Yuanfu seemed extremely painful, but he also knew that he would definitely die after this.

If Zhu Youlang takes the initiative to donate his money and bears responsibility, he will only kill him.

If he resists stubbornly to the end, the whole family will have to be buried with him.

What's the use of fighting for this breath?

"Caomin is willing to donate his family's wealth, and ask His Majesty to let Caomin's family go."

Sun Yuanfu cried bitterly.

"If I had known today, why should I have been there?"

Zhu Youlang shook his head and said, "Forget it, I promised not to kill your family, so I will execute you alone as someone who violates the will of epidemic prevention."

After saying that, Zhu Youlang left with his sleeves.

...

...

As a death row prisoner appointed by the emperor, many people came to watch on the day Sun Yuanfu was executed.

Sun Yuanfu was like a wooden stake in the prison car, his eyes were unconscious and lifeless.

He knew that he would die and no longer struggled.

It’s just that he didn’t see the situation clearly. If he knew that the epidemic prevention order was given by the emperor, he would never dare to touch the tiger’s beard no matter what.

But now everything is too late.

"Kill him, kill this dog thief!"

"Someone in the mansion was infected with the plague and dared to rush out. If he was desperate, would he ask everyone to die with you?"

"Kill him if you have no shame!"

The people on both sides of the road called Rotten Chaiye to smash Sun Yuanfu.

These vegetable leaves hit Sun Yuanfu, but he did not respond and allowed the people to humiliate them.

The prison car was running very slowly, as if it was deliberately letting the people vent their vent.

After about a stick of incense, the prison car that Sun Yuanfu was riding stopped in front of the execution ground.

Two soldiers opened the door of the prison van and dragged Sun Yuanfu down like a dead dog.

Sun Yuanfu looked up and saw the anvil placed on the guillotine, and his body twitched instinctively.

There is a temporary prison pedestal on the guillotine, and the prison pedestal sat there with a serious face.

"Kill him, kill this dog thief!"

The people roared again.

"Cut him, chop his head!"

It was no one else who served as the prison official, but Zhang Huangyan.

Firstly, he is the most trusted civil servant in Nanjing today, and secondly, Zhang Huangyan once personally presided over the epidemic prevention work.

Execution of Sun Yuanfu is also a warning to the world not to violate the will of epidemic prevention.

No matter from which perspective, it is appropriate to have Zhang Huangyan as the decree officer.

Zhang Huangyan was very grateful to the emperor for not executing Sun Yuanfu in the North Fufu Division of Jinyiwei, but chose to openly punish the Ming Zhengpao and kill him with national laws.

This is of warning significance to the people and is legitimate.

Otherwise, someone would have to jump out and say that the emperor abused his power.

The soldiers pushed Sun Yuanfu to the anvil and ordered him to kneel down.

Sun Yuanfu naturally followed the order and did as he did.

He was already discouraged and wanted to die quickly.

Zhang Huangyan looked at the sky and saw that it was almost done, so he threw out a tag.

"Come on, kill the offender Sun Yuanfu!"

With the order of Zhang Huangyan, the executioner who had been waiting had raised the long-brained sword high above his head.

Sun Yuanfu was now pressed by the soldiers on the anvil, like a dead fish.

"cut!"

But with a whoosh, the big knife cut off Sun Yuanfu's head and cut off.

Blood gushed out of the neck, and the headless corpse twitched for a while before falling down softly.

The executioner lifted up his rolling head and showed it to the people, which made the onlookers very excited. Some even wanted to step forward and dip it in Sun Yuanfu's blood with a rag.

Zhang Huangyan had completed the task, so he naturally had no intention of staying in the execution ground. He left the execution ground with a swing of his sleeves and surrounded by his intimate support.

...

...

The execution of Sun Yuanfu did indeed play a major shocking role.

Those wealthy and wealthy families who were originally rebellious all hurried at home and dared not act rashly.

The families who were found infected in the mansion were extremely cautious and even took the initiative to send people to communicate with the officers and soldiers stationed outside their mansion, saying that they were willing to donate some money to help the court prevent the epidemic.

This can be considered as spending money to buy peace.

After all, Sun Yuanfu has learned from the past, and no one of them wants to be Sun Yuanfu's second.

In front of the court, they were like chickens. It was easier for the court to pinch them to death than to pinch a bed bug.

Not to mention anything else, if the court really wants to deal with them and give them a charge of going out without authorization against the will of epidemic prevention, wouldn’t they be dead?

Reasoning? Who should I ask for?

The court is right.

They suddenly found that this plague was not only stirring people's hearts, but also their pockets.

Didn’t the court find an excuse to kill them if they want to?

Instead of waiting for the court to raise the big sword, they should judgingly bleed and seek peace.

Sincerity has been given, the court will naturally not hold them to let go.

When the news reached the palace, Zhu Youlang was very happy.

His move was to kill the chicken to warn the monkey and kill Sun Yuanfu to show to those rich businessmen.

Unexpectedly, these rich businessmen are so timid, and they will be in chaos when they are scared like this.

According to Zhang Huangyan's report, the combined silver donations of the four families exceeded one million taels.

It is said that there are countless wealthy merchants in Nanjing, but if you really want to rank in the top five, it is really these ones.

They are all rich and can match the country, and they don’t give in to Shen Wansan at that time.

One million taels were divided by them, and one person was only twenty-five thousand taels.

Two hundred and fifty thousand taels sound scary, but it is like a drop in the bucket for these wealthy businessmen.

But for Zhu Youlang, this money is very important.

He can use money to pay military salaries or to invest it in the production of firearms.

After all, what is needed to make muskets and cannons is real money, and what the imperial court lacks the most now is money.

Now Zhu Youlang can understand the helplessness of Emperor Chongzhen back then.

Before Beijing was about to be captured by the Shun Army, Chongzhen was still raising silver in the city, hoping that officials and wealthy businessmen could donate silver to help him recruit troops to fight the enemy.

But no one was in the same mind as him. The officials donated hundreds of taels of silver to make a difference, and the wealthy businessmen simply kept silent.

Finally, Emperor Chongzhen was angry and said that I was not a king who destroyed the country, but my ministers were all ministers who destroyed the country.

Although it's a bit slandering, it's not completely unreasonable.

These slanderous and incompetent businessmen really deserve to be killed.

In the final analysis, when Zhu Yuanzhang founded a policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce.

But it is not suppressed to the root cause. The commercial tax of thirty taxes is unimaginable in any dynasty.

The result was that these merchants were fed, but the Ming Dynasty court had no money to spend.

These merchants will also respect some officials for money, but the emperor has no money to spend it.

It's so sad and ridiculous.
