Chapter 451: Revenge if there is revenge, and grievance if there is grievance

"What"

"What!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole court was in an uproar.

Everyone's excitement reached its peak.

Their emperor and empress could intimidate the restless foreign countries and kill the corrupt officials who committed crimes at home.

Is the sky finally going to clear up here?

In a dilapidated earthen house in a corner outside the city.

The old farmer who borrowed water from Lu Wanyin yesterday carefully took out a piece of the dry food she left behind, boiled hot water, and soaked it in it to eat.

I ate while crying.

He had forgotten how long it had been since he had eaten such fine food.

There were hurried footsteps outside the door.

Before it was completely dark, the children who had gone out to dig wild vegetables came back excitedly with their bamboo baskets on their backs: "Dad, great news, great news."

He ran so fast that he was panting heavily.

When he reached the old farmer, he didn't even have time to catch his breath before he shouted excitedly, "Our hard times are over, and the county government office is bustling now.

I heard that the Emperor and Empress of Dasheng are here. What the county magistrate has done these days has happened to run into their hands, and they have both been detained."

The old farmer forgot to chew the softened dry food in his mouth.

He stared at his excited son, as if in a dream: "What did you say? Who's here?"

"Dad, weren't your ears good before?"

The child put the bamboo basket aside and said, "I heard that tomorrow, the county magistrate and his group of lackeys will be tied up and brought to the government office.

At that time, we, the people who have suffered for many years, will be able to seek justice.

Dad, don't go out to work tomorrow, let's go together."

The old farmer quickly swallowed the dry food in his mouth, turned around and ran towards the yamen without saying a word.

Before he ran up, he had already seen the huge crowd of people.

He believed it.

He knew how much the people here hated those corrupt officials.

If they had not had to, they would never have approached the county government office, let alone smiled so happily.

The old farmer burst into tears and fell to his knees: "God has eyes, God has eyes."

He suddenly remembered the notes Lu Wanyin and Xie Jingci left for him yesterday.

Could it be that those two are...

After a while, the child finally caught up with him and said, "Dad, why are you running so fast? Don't fall."

The old farmer straightened his hunched body, and his weathered face radiated a gleam of life: "Let's go back now and think about what we have lost here at the dog official's place."

Sure enough, there is still hope for them.

The new emperor and empress are different from the previous couple.

They will not just enjoy themselves in the palace, they will actually walk among the ordinary people.

The next morning, the yamen gate was surrounded by people.

Xuan Yi, with twice as many people, almost couldn't stabilize the situation.

"Kill the corrupt officials, kill the corrupt officials."

The people blocking the entrance to the yamen shouted in indignation.

They looked at the county magistrate and Jia Yan in mid-air, their eyes almost spitting fire.

A high platform was built overnight at the main entrance of the county government office.

The platform was filled with people kneeling, all of whom were the evildoers who had committed all kinds of evil in the county town in recent years.

The county magistrate, who bears the brunt of the impact, must of course be given special care.

Following Lu Wanyin's earlier instructions, Xie Jingci erected a long wooden pole in the middle of the platform.

The county magistrate and his son were tied to the top of the wooden pole.

The wooden pole doesn't look very sturdy.

The two of them were high up and felt a little dizzy.

"Help, help, I don't want to die, I don't want to die yet——"

Jia Yan was shaking like a sieve.

The teeth chattered, which was very annoying.

The county magistrate was even more annoyed.

His attitude towards his son, whom he had spoiled for many years, underwent a drastic change.

"Shut up, bastard!"

The county magistrate shouted angrily: "If it weren't for you, a traitor, we wouldn't have ended up like this."

Faced with danger, he could kill his own father who had loved him for many years without hesitation.

Even though he had done so many things worse than beasts, the county magistrate still trembled with anger when he thought of this incident.

Originally, it was only Jia Yan who was shaking, but now both of them were shaking together.

The wood, which was not very strong to begin with, looked even more fragile.

Two big men were swaying on it, as if they were about to fall down at any second.

The county magistrate was anxious: "You little beast, stop shaking!"

Jia Yan's tears were about to fall: "Dad, it's not that I want to shake, I can't control myself."

The more frightened he was, the more he trembled.

The more you shake, the more violently it shakes.

After a while, everyone saw two people on the wooden pole, screaming and shaking.

The wooden stick finally couldn't bear the weight and broke in the middle with a "crack".

In full view of everyone, the two men fell to the ground, letting out a series of screams.

Who made the people below sit so close together?

The two big guys went down and knocked down a large area in minutes.

Xuan Qi's face darkened as he kicked one of them. "Find a thicker pole and hoist them up again. Remember to stuff their mouths shut this time. Their shouting is annoying."

He was already in charge of so many people, and he was not happy about having his master run around all the time.

"yes."

The people below have learned their lesson this time.

They didn't even bother looking for sticks, but simply cut down a small tree at the entrance of the village.

Saw out the middle of the trunk and stand it upright in its original position.

The new pole is ready.

The only downside is that the workmanship of this pillar is a bit rough.

The thorns on it are very sharp.

The two of them were tied up tightly and were wearing thin clothes in the hot summer.

If you move a little, the wooden thorns will penetrate your clothes and pierce your flesh.

This was ten times more painful than any torture the county magistrate had devised before.

The people below calmed down and composed themselves.

Before the review meeting began, the backs of the county magistrate and his son, who were hanging on the wooden stake, were already soaked with blood.

Unfortunately, their mouths were stuffed tightly, and they couldn't even scream.

The blood gathered together bit by bit and flowed down the wooden pole.

It should have been a bloody scene, but it brought tears to the eyes of a group of people.

"It is God's will, it is God's will—"

The people didn't know the reason, they just watched the evil father and son tied to the pillar, and after a short while, they began to bleed all over.

If it's not punishment from heaven, then what is it?

The criticism meeting had just begun when it reached its climax due to the blood of the two people.

"Everyone, please be quiet."

Xuan Qi stood in front of the crowd and raised his hand slightly.

The noisy crowd below suddenly quieted down.

Xuan Qi raised his hand in the air and turned it slightly, pointing at the two people in the air: "I know that you have suffered a lot at their hands over the years. Today is the time to take revenge and settle grievances."
