After intense and rapid thinking, Fan Zhigu found a solution, put it into action, and expressed his attitude to the court and the old emperor. He immediately sent someone to contact the Dusi and the second department, led by Fan Zhigu, and led the third yamen and the main officials of Jiangling Prefecture to arrive together, kowtowing and praying for guilt.

Fan Zhigu knew very well that under such circumstances, the old emperor had already taken measures with such decisive and quick means. The seriousness of the matter was self-evident and there was no room for shirk responsibility. Only a correct attitude could help solve the matter.

Half of the hundreds of bureaucrats were senior officials in North Jinghu, and were all big names who were once only circulated by the verbal words of scholars and people. They held the power and even controlled life and death. These were the superior people, and their attitude of surrender when facing more powerful power, were not much different from those untouchables in Jiangling City who were busy working hard on their livelihoods.

Due to the "smuggling case", the senior management of Jinghu North Road was shocked, and the entire Hubei officialdom shook three times, while Jiangling City was filled with a loud bang, and the response between the scholars and the people was enthusiastic.

Rumors spread quickly because the search was a speculation, but there was no tension in the market, only curiosity, even excitement and encouragement.

After all, the arrests were either officers and soldiers or bureaucrats, and they did not disturb the people. Isn’t it a welcome thing for the powerful to have an accident? The actions of senior officials from Jinghu North Road quickly spread throughout Jiangling like the wind.

Therefore, before noon, the scene of walking outside became even more lively. In addition to the large number of Hubei bureaucrats who fell to their knees, there were also Jiangling scholars and people who rushed to hear the news.

The crowds of scholars and people brought considerable challenges to the maintenance of order. The imperial city, martial virtue and Dawen had to strengthen control. However, even if they were separated, they could only wait and see from afar, but they could not extinguish the enthusiasm of the onlookers. On the contrary, they were even more high.

The superiors were in such a noisy environment and were treated with such strange eyes by a group of fart people. Even to this point, even if they were kneeling in the sun, many people could not let go of the bureaucratic airs at all, including sadness, angryness, shame, and of course, there were also those who lowered their heads and closed their eyes as if they did not exist.

When walking outside, there was noisy and bustle. In fact, just by responding to the fact that the people in Jiangling Mansion were so responsive to this matter, we can imagine how the people in Jiangling Mansion were. At least we can confirm that it was not as political and harmonious as the ones presented to the old emperor when he entered the city the day before yesterday.

When things got to this point, the tone was completely up and there was no way to easily fall. The scholars and citizens in Jiangling were looking forward to how to end. The officials and officials in Hubei were also concerned, and the mood of the bureaucrats who were kneeling in front of them continued to sink, and it was not good to end.

At this point, a group of talents realized it later and followed Fan Zhigu to the scene. This decision seemed to be very inappropriate! His intentions were to be punished! After all, they were outsiders, so how could they really think about them, such as Hubei virtuous people.

The old emperor, who had been restraining, or preparing, took further action when the time was almost over.

He ignored the Hubei bureaucrats and did not even give up a decree. Four people came forward with the imperial edict, Liu Wenhuan, Liu Wenji, and two spy chiefs Wang Xuanzhen and Zhang Bin. The four people had different expressions, but similar emotions appeared in their eyes, which was a feeling of accepting the same order.

Immediately afterwards, another "big deal" by the old emperor, a group of people, about forty, were taken forward together, tied with their hands, dejected, and had no time to change their prison uniforms. Everyone was still wearing military uniforms and watching the military rank signs, all of which were low-level officers and of the team level, obviously they were the Hubei navy officers and soldiers who were arrested yesterday.

This way of appearance attracted the attention of almost everyone. Not only the bureaucrats in Hubei Province, but also the onlookers of Jiangling, were gradually quieting down, because behind everyone, there was a knife and axe driver holding a bright beheading knife in his hand.

Almost everyone present had some expectations of what might happen next and was verified soon.

The censor Zhang Zhibai slowly walked out, followed by two guards, each holding a tray in his hand, and a row of rolled-ups were placed on it. Zhang Zhibai picked up the first one, looked around, and shouted with a serious face: "Shit it!"

Almost all the bureaucrats kneeling down, and at this moment, they seemed to be pressing a huge rock behind them. As Zhang Zhibai read the order, a huge rock had already sunk into their hearts.

The first life-suppression was not complicated. It mainly informed the crimes committed by more than 40 grassroots naval officers, with each person's name and the results of the disposal, without any delay and decisiveness!

There was almost no time for people to react. Dozens of sword lights flashed by, dozens of heads fell, and blood spilled all over the floor. The scene was in an uproar. No matter the officials and the people, everyone was shocked, and the scene was silent for a moment.

It’s not that the officials and people in Hubei are unaware of it. There is no immortal in this world. Dead people are even more common. The Yangtze River can salvage floating corpses from time to time. As for those ditches and wilderness, picking up corpses is even more common.

What is scary is not the dead, but the sight of the heads falling to the ground, with blood flowing. In the past, death row prisoners were taken to the capital. After being reviewed by Dali Temple, they were sentenced to death in the capital.

Therefore, scenes like today’s journey have not happened in Jiangling for about decades. The world will last as long as the system is established, as long as it takes!

Moreover, if it is this kind of collective beheading, the ones who kill are not ordinary people. Not to mention the naval officers, even ordinary sailors have much more lives than ordinary civilians. Now, in front of the steel knives and in the face of national laws, the neck is as fragile as tofu.

Without giving everyone time to react, another group of people were taken up. This time, the number of people was smaller, less than twenty, and they were still officers, but the rank was higher and they had already risen to the level of the camp.

Zhang Zhibai picked up the second book, read it, and fell to the ground with the knife, and with the same process, the same result, the blood that was moving forward continued to spread along the ground.

Following this, there were auxiliary units of the Navy, including logistics, training, and military discipline, with a total of 11 people. So far, the Hubei Navy had been killed by more than 70 middle and lower-level officers.

But the matter obviously did not mean to end. The killing continued. The arrested officials were brought up. Compared with the navy officers and soldiers who violated military law, the investigation and judgment of the bureaucratic crimes was of course more complicated. In addition, there were so many people, but there were many evidence from the Wude Department and then the old emperor's resoluteness and speed. Therefore, an emergency conviction was made, and the verdict was read out, and then the decree was executed!

Heavy punishment and urgent killing are of course likely to cause unjust, false and wrong cases. Moreover, such practices once again undermine the justice of the Han Dynasty, and even trample on the legal system established and maintained by the old emperor himself.

However, at this time, at that time, the old emperor did not do it once or twice. However, it often happened in the capital in the past, but now it is in the local area, which makes the officials and citizens of Jiangling truly feel how powerful centralization is and that they should not be deceived.

The navy officers and soldiers were at the level. When they arrived at officials, they were in accordance with the department. Of course, the number of officials killed was smaller, with a total of less than fifty people. Of course, not only so many people were arrested, but these were just sentenced to death urgently. The rest still needs to be investigated and detailed.

Just like that, more than one hundred heads were landed. In terms of scale, it can be compared with any collective anti-corruption punishment that occurred in Gyeonggi, but the level is much lower.

The flowing blood almost dyed people's eyes red, and the air was filled with disgusting smell. The heads were rolling, ferocious and terrifying. More than a hundred corpses were separated and piled up together before they could be cleaned up. It was really full of thought.

The smell of odor is inevitable. Not only one or two people were incontinent by this scene, including the senior officials in Hubei, who were trembling, some were fainting and dragged down for treatment, and many of the onlookers dispersed. Not everyone could bear such an impact, and the rest were no longer cheering.

It can be said that the entire Jiangling was spreading, and the officials and the people were shocked. However, the matter was not over, and the last two criminals were also pulled out, with special treatment, with their hands and feet shackles, and they were staggering step by step.

When the elderly saw Xing Zai's head rolling, the elderly looked pale, but they could barely hold back. As for the younger ones, their legs were a little weak, and they howled to Xing with a sad face, hoping that the old emperor would circumvent his life.

Wei Zhong and Fu Zhaoshou.

These two are the biggest criminals in this case and the most eye-catching one. Everyone's hearts were in their throats, including those high-ranking officials who were frightened and their eyes were wide open.

No! Uncle!

The two emperors with a little numb expression were also fluctuating. Wei Zhong and the others didn't care, but Fu Zhaoshou was their uncle, Zhang Zhibai, who had already been dry-mouthed, and his voice trembled when he started to recite the last book making.

When the conclusion of the execution appeared clearly in the ears of everyone, an uproar appeared again, and Fan Zhigu could no longer hold it back, leaving people under the sword, and then kowtowed, shouting for the audience, and shouting heart-wrenchingly, hoping that the old emperor including Xing could hear it.

To be honest, Fan Zhigu was also scared by the old emperor's ruthless handling measures. He made many deductions in his heart and thought of countless possibilities. He just didn't expect that the old emperor would have such a massacre in Jiangling. Yes, it was a massacre!

It shouldn't be, it shouldn't be! In the past two years, the old emperor has less hostility. What kind of stimulation is this?

But no matter what, as the highest commander of Jinghu North Road, Fan Zhigu must make a statement. He can't really let His Majesty kill his brother-in-law...
