Gaotang County, at the city gate.
Ma Gang and others have been hung up.
They are all core figures of the Ma family army.
So they were all sentenced to the five punishments by Ning Que!
Ning Que sat in a wooden pavilion in the distance, his hat and belt neatly arranged.
The people were pointing and talking from a distance.
"Is this person the head Boss Ma Gang?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect to be caught like this."
"I heard that it was the prince himself who attacked the mountain stronghold at night. None of the three guards were harmed, and the Ma family army was completely wiped out."
"That's what these beasts deserve!"
"You're right. These beasts are capable of all kinds of evil. They took my daughter to the mountains and brutally abused her. Fortunately, the prince helped her escape. One of the beasts even tried to pretend to be my daughter's husband, but luckily he was identified!"
"It's good to be able to come back alive..." The old village chief said with tears in his eyes, "With Prince Ning here, good days are still ahead."
"yes!"
Everyone nodded.
Now it is a widely accepted saying in Gaotang.
Ning Que is here, and there will be a clear sky!
From the moment Bai Yu entered Gaotang, he first pardoned the slaves and made them civilians. He then forcibly defeated the local tyrants and divided their land, giving them farmland and houses, and hope for survival.
Then he wiped out the Ma family army that was entrenched in Mount Li, helped them to get revenge, and also brought back many innocent people who had been abducted alive.
Of course, some innocent people were burned to death.
But the Ma family army will definitely be blamed for this.
Just say that they tortured him to death.
Ning Que also specially sent someone to send some condolences.
He also used this opportunity to win over the hearts of a group of people.
As for those who are still alive, they are also very conscious.
Although they were killed by the fireball, they were mainly taken to the Lin Village by the Ma family army and imprisoned. In their efforts to escape, they trampled on each other, and many died. As for those who did not escape, they suffered even more miserably and were also burned to death.
So, it’s still the Ma family army’s fault!
Ning Que walked slowly to the front of the platform.
Looking at the excited people.
They were also very tactful and quieted down immediately.
"My fellow villagers, they are the bandit leaders of the Ma Clan Army, a band of heinous crimes. They have committed all manner of evil in Gaotang, abducting women and even murdering soldiers. Today, I sentence them all to the five punishments, a just and fair punishment! This is also a warning to all the bandits in Linzi County: if they do not surrender voluntarily, the Ma Clan Army will serve as a warning to them!"
After saying that, Ning Que threw out the wooden command arrow.
"Execution!"
"promise!"
Several executioners came on stage at the same time.
At this moment, Ma Gang and the others were extremely scared.
Death is imminent.
These bandits usually acted like tough guys, but now they were trembling with fear, and some even urinated on the spot. The executioners were quite experienced. They first carved words on the faces, then used sharp blades to cut off the noses.
"ah……"
The howling of agony echoed throughout the ancient city.
Ma Gang was trembling all over and his face was covered in blood.
He was shaking all over because of the severe pain.
But this is just the beginning.
The executioner swung his huge axe.
The axe fell and chopped off his left arm alive.
Blood gushed out and Ma Gang almost fainted.
And this is just the beginning!
Then the right hand!
Left leg!
Right leg!
He was chopped into a human pig alive!
Ma Gang was trembling all over and couldn't speak.
Many people turned away out of fear.
They are just ordinary people.
Such cruel punishment is also frightening.
Ning Que actually didn't intend to do so at the beginning.
Even if they didn't surrender, Ning Que would have captured them and at most would have just beheaded them and thrown them into the streets, not subjected them to the five punishments. But they absolutely shouldn't have dared to kill his personal guards!
This is a provocation to the entire Ning Wang Army!
Without severe punishment, it will not be enough to deter the scoundrels!
This is not the end, what follows is castration.
Finally, it’s cut in half!
The scarlet entrails were flowing all over the ground.
Many people vomited directly.
Ning Que was extremely calm.
Just wave your sleeves and say goodbye.
"Tie Niu, collect all these corpses."
"Send it to the bandits roaming around Linzi."
"Tell them that the Ma family army has been wiped out."
"Ma Gang and the other bandit leaders have all been subjected to the five punishments!"
"If they know what's good for them, they should surrender immediately. If they still don't surrender within three days of receiving the message, I will kill them all!"
"promise!"
At this moment, everyone was shocked.
Ning Que is a man of his word.
Since he made such a harsh statement, he must be able to do it!
The old village chief knelt down and kowtowed with red eyes.
The people also bowed down in worship.
Ever since Tian Zhongxun surrendered Linzi, they'd been in complete chaos. Bandits had taken over the land, regularly descending from the mountains to rob them. County clerks had also become bandits, collecting all sorts of exorbitant taxes and fees, practically draining them dry!
All the workshops were demolished, the artisans taken away, and even if they wanted to replace their pottery basins, there was no one to buy them. The entire Linzi area became a no-man's land, and these people suffered terribly.
Even when Ouyang Zheng became the county governor, he could only barely restore production. As for the bandits, there wasn't much they could do, as they only had so few men.
And now, Ning Que is here!
Destroyed the Ma family army with thundering force!
Back then, Linzi was a famously prosperous place.
It won’t be long before we can return to the way things were!
…
…
"General Gu."
"The Ma family army... is all gone!"
Lin Jiang hurried in, his face horrified, and said, "Just got the news that the bandit leader Ma Gang has been sentenced to the five punishments. I heard that Prince Ning's army suffered zero casualties and easily razed the stronghold!"
