With an order from Mei Shuyu, except for Ye Lanying who was loaded into the prison van, the rest of them were tied up and paraded around the street, and then beheaded together in front of the vegetable market in Dongchengkou for public display.
When had the people of Luwan City seen such a bloodbath, everyone's faces were ashen-colored with fright.
Twenty carts of crossbow arrows wrapped in cloth were exposed in broad daylight, and many courageous people were still watching even though they were afraid.
It is a serious crime to privately manufacture weapons and smuggle weapons. On this day, the people of Luwan City clearly had a deep understanding of the laws of Southern Chu, and they firmly remembered them in their hearts.
The heads fell to the ground one by one, bringing the bloody day to an end.
When her subordinates were beheaded, Ye Lanying slowly woke up from the smell of blood. When she saw the situation in front of her, her pale face was almost distorted and deformed. Beautiful, smart, and harmless.
Mei Shuyu tore off the skin of her gentleness, and did so ruthlessly.
Ye Lanying almost gritted her teeth, and the regret in her heart was knotted. She regretted that she was not careful enough, and she didn't realize that she was being targeted early in the morning. It is even more regrettable that when the general situation is over, she refused to admit defeat and even called out the black shadow guard she had trained. Now, her people are all folded here, and all plans are ruined.
However, she didn't want to die yet. If she died, it would be over, but there was no hope. She is alive, maybe there is still hope of escaping, maybe someone will come to rescue her, if she dies, then there is nothing left.
So, she could only watch all this absurdly happening in front of her, but she was helpless.
Since she was a child, she has never been helpless. This is the first time, but it is also a fatal one.
Mei Shuyu saw that Ye Lanying had come to her senses, he was riding on a horse, standing beside the prison cart, and smiled at her, "It's so fun no matter how you look at it."
Ye Lanying looked at Mei Shuyu angrily and wanted to stab him with a sword. The hatred in her heart was overwhelming. She never thought that she would fall into Mei Shuyu's hands. For this person, although he had a reputation as a dude before, But not as big as Lu Zhiling, who later became famous all over the world because of Zhao Qingxi, in her opinion, a person who was not to be feared, but she capsized.
She gritted her teeth and said, "You wait, if one day you fall into my hands, I will make it impossible for you to survive or die."
Mei Shuyu laughed loudly, "Okay, I'll wait for the day when you settle accounts with the young master, but I'm afraid you won't have a chance. You should worry about how you will die first."
Ye Lanying closed her eyes, thinking silently, no, she must be alive, and only by being alive can she get Yun Rang.
The adoptive father will definitely not let him die, and he is only one step away from making it public.
And she is the foster father's right-hand man, no one can take her place by the foster father's side, the foster father will not ignore her, and will definitely send someone to save her.
She still has a chance.
Mei Shuyu looked at Ye Lanying, sneered in her heart, and let him dream into the dungeon of the East Palace, even the gods couldn't get out.
After beheading the head and achieving the result of imitating others, Mei Shuyu naturally did not stay in Luwan City, and immediately left with 80,000 soldiers and horses guarding the prison cart.
The county magistrate was naturally eager to send this powerful plague god away, so he sent it all the way outside the city gate, not forgetting to tell him, "General Mei, be careful along the way, this time you are in a hurry to and fro in Luwan City, and the officials didn't even bother you." As a landlord, when you come next time, I will definitely prepare the food and wine."
He said this on his lips, but he thought in his heart, don't come next time, if you come like this the second time, I will resign from office. The heart can't take it.
It was only at this time that Mei Shuyu felt that the county magistrate was also cute, and he waved his hand kindly, "I will leave the aftermath to my lord." After finishing speaking, he said, "Those who plot rebellion, even if they beheaded , and didn’t let go of their hatred, they all threw them to the mass graves to feed the dogs.”
"Yes." The county guard responded again and again, thinking that no one should offend General Mei, and the fate of offending him would be to behead his head and feed the dogs. Sure enough, he was a general, and he was really aggressive.
After Mei Shuyu left, the county guard hurriedly led people to throw the separated corpses to the mass grave to feed the dogs, and then ordered people to clean the street. After a full day of cleaning, the street was cleaned without blood After a day of wind, the air in Luwan City lost the smell of blood.
After Mei Shuyu traveled fifty miles, he passed by the Taoist temple and looked at the quiet one from a distance. He told someone, "Go and check, and see if everyone inside has been dealt with by Mr. Zhu."
Someone should be, and immediately took a few people there.
Not long after, the man came back and reported, "General, there were bloodstains from fighting inside, but now the building is empty and there is no one there."
"Well, that's Mr. Zhu, who has already packed up and settled it." Mei Shuyu ordered again, "Take a few people to Zhaoyuan County, and pass a message to my elder brother and Mr. Zhu, saying that I don't want to enter Zhaoyuan County. The original county seat, go back to Beijing directly, let Zhu Gong help my elder brother deal with the matter, and then lead people to chase me."
"yes"
The man immediately went to Zhaoyuan County with several guards.
Mei Shuyu went directly to the capital with 80,000 soldiers and horses guarding the prison cart.
In Zhaoyuan County, there was also a bloodbath. Zhu Gong led 20,000 soldiers and horses to besiege the Taoist temple without warning, took a stronghold of more than a dozen people, tied them up, and took them to Zhaoyuan County.
After helping Zhu Gong clean up the Taoist people, Mo Zhu first went back to the city and told Mei Shuyan who was waiting for news. Then, helping Mei Shuyan, first took down the master and tied him up. After that, He also ordered people to tie up the informant old woman and young man who lived in the courtyard of that alley to the county magistrate's office.
The teacher who followed Mei Shuyan since childhood cried immediately. The deep grief was because he was obsessed with ghosts and didn't want to be the eldest son's servant for the rest of his life. Therefore, when someone approached him secretly, he agreed to betray him and begged Mei Shuyan to let his family know nothing. Young and old, he is willing to commit suicide and apologize.
Mei Shuyan had no expression on his face, he didn't say yes or no, he immediately ordered someone to beat him to death with a stick.
Although he is kind, he is not soft-hearted.
Then, the young man was beaten to death with sticks, and the old woman knelt down and begged for mercy, saying that she only had one grandson, and he was willing to confess and confess to his informants. She was willing to apologise, and begged Lord Mei to spare her grandson Life.
Mei Shuyan nodded, and the old woman confessed two more people, one of whom was the proprietress of Zhaoyuan Cloth Pile, and the other was an unremarkable soldier guarding the city.
Mei Shuyan immediately sent someone to arrest those two people, but the proprietress was a tough one, she didn't say anything, she committed suicide immediately, and the soldier, except for one person, was a street boy from Zhaoyuan County. beggar chief.
At this point, the dark thread buried in Zhaoyuan County surfaced. It turned out that Ye Lanying used beggars to bring crossbow arrows into the city in batches by manpower. The ten-year foundation was packed, and the soldiers who passed through the city gate opened the city in the middle of the night and transported it out of the city. Then, the master of the Taoist temple led people to pick him up in the Taoist temple, repacked the exact same box, and completed the process. A series of stealing and swapping posts.
Twenty chariots of crossbow arrows are not a small number, but last year the Heilong River in the north broke its embankment and a large area of flood occurred. There were too many refugees, and they could not be suppressed. They rushed to Zhaoyuan County. At that time, they were homeless. Returned refugees gathered together to form a small gang, organized and disciplined to obey the command of one person, take some jobs, and feed these people so that they would not starve to death. Ye Lanying found these people and paid them very generously, so she was naturally willing to work for her.
There are a lot of people, and there are beggars and refugees who come and go in and out of the city, plus there is an inner ghost master, so this line from top to bottom, although there are not many people, is very complete and does not attract people. Pay attention, yes, Mei Shuyan was deceived.
Because Mei Shuyan was in charge of Zhaoyuan County, and the investigation was very strict, Ye Lanying spent so much time and effort. If it was another county's government office, it would naturally not use this method.
The shopkeeper of Zhaoyuan Cloth Pile was terrified, saying that his boss didn’t know anything, and asked Mrs. Mei to investigate carefully. Helped Mei Shuyan to estimate the damaged cloth, this time desperately begged for mercy.
Under Mei Shuyan's careful investigation, there was really nothing wrong with Zhaoyuan Buzhuan's family, so naturally he would not be convicted of involvement.
The old woman bit the informant, redeemed her crime, and killed herself, saving the life of the young grandson. Mei Shuyan immediately pronounced the verdict that the three generations of teenagers were not allowed to take the imperial examination to become officials. This verdict is not light, and it can be regarded as depriving him of his road to fame.
As for those people in the Taoist temple, they were all thrown into the sky prison. After he wrote to the capital, he would hear the decree to convict him. Incorporated by the government, they can be sent to the imperial court to dig coal and iron, etc., which not only punishes them, but also solves their food and clothing problems, so that they will not cause harm to one party.
Mei Shuyan frowned, said "Great kindness", and waited for Mei Shuyu's news to arrive, before personally sending Zhu Gong out of the city.
This major case was originally discovered by Yun Chi by accident when he passed by, but when the stolen goods were revealed, it shocked the world.
