This bloody execution lasted for two hours, and a total of 312 people were executed.
As for whether there are people who do not deserve to die, Gu Yanming explained that in troubled times, severe punishments are used, and in disorderly armies, severe punishments are used, otherwise more people will die in vain. Moreover, those who aid and abet the tyrant are also punishable by death.
Later on, the crocodile couldn't eat anymore and just took a few bites of the body. Once it was sure the prey wasn't moving, it ignored it.
Finally, the crocodiles simply closed their eyes and took a rest. No matter what was thrown at them, they didn't move. They were probably too full.
Gu Yanming narrowed his eyes, and after making sure that the crocodiles were not moving, he gave the order to kill the crocodiles.
Because these crocodiles ate many innocent people in the beginning, and for the safety of nearby people, they must all be killed.
After everything was arranged, Gu Yanming looked at the rebel generals lying limp on the ground, raised his eyebrows, and asked with a smile.
"Who among you has something to say? It's too late!" Gu Yanming sneered, "Although the crocodile has been dealt with, there are probably still poisonous scorpions and snake caves in this mountain! If all else fails, we can feed them to the wolves!"
Seeing the crocodile dismembering the body, the dozen people were already scared out of their wits, and when they heard Gu Yanming talking about poisonous scorpions, snakes, and wolves, they were even more mentally broken. Some people just wanted to die a quick death and didn't expect to survive.
"I, Your Majesty! I can tell you everything I know! Please give me a quick death!"
Gu Yanming looked over and saw the man who was the first one he caught, the one who was pressing down on the man and having sex with the woman.
Gu Yanming frowned. Every time he thought of that scene, he felt nauseous.
Once someone spoke up, the others were unwilling to lag behind and were all willing to confess, only asking for a quick death.
Gu Yanming achieved his goal and ordered Lan Ying, "Take him away for interrogation."
Lan Ying agreed and had them taken to the interrogation room here.
Gu Yanming and Ye Xinran sat in chairs, looking at the dozen people lying on the ground in a mess and with mental breakdown.
He was about to give orders and ask questions when Ye Xinran pulled him back.
"Your Majesty, let's test first to see who is telling the truth!" Ye Xinran's eyes turned and a plan came to her mind. Her smile was sweet, but it was filled with a chill.
She took out the piece of paper she had searched from Yu Xiaodie, raised it so that only the back side could be seen, and continued.
"This was found on one of you! Can anyone tell me what is written on it?"
"I, I say!" Someone quickly pointed at a thin scholar-like man and said, "I've seen this before, he's from Military Advisor Lian, he said, the master ordered us to cooperate with Miss Yu's actions!
Gu Yanming raised his eyebrows and glanced at his little princess, who was indeed smart.
You can use a piece of invisible white paper to trick them into telling you something, and they won't dare to lie, because they can't see the front of the paper.
Lan Ying pursed her lips. The princess was indeed very clever. They were not sure about the identity of that thin man and almost let him get away with it.
"No, it belongs to General Lee."
The other man pointed at the bearded, burly man and said, "I accidentally saw that it said that they would pretend to cooperate with Prince Wensheng to attack Yanjing City, but in fact it was an ambush. Let the emperor and Prince Wensheng fight on their own. We will conserve our strength and wait for the opportunity."
Gu Yanming was stunned. These rebels were not King Wensheng's men. Who were they really loyal to?
"That piece of paper should belong to Vice General Wang," another person pointed at the tall and thin man and said, "I didn't see the specific content clearly, I just saw the words Nanhua."
Gu Yanming looked over, his eyes deep. He didn't expect that these few people all obeyed the same master.
…
It seems that what everyone said is similar.
Ye Xinran said to Lan Ying beside him, "Interrogate them separately! Whoever knows more can stay alive and do hard labor! Of course, there is only one quota."
Lan Ying nodded and arranged for people to interrogate them separately. Ye Xinran whispered a few more words in her ear, and Lan Ying nodded and retreated.
Gu Yanming did not ask any more questions. It was already noon. The two went to the kitchen. Everyone was too busy to eat, so the original cooks checked their identities and found no problems, so they continued to cook. Ye Xinran only needed to check if there were any problems with the food.
The two of them ate a little and then Lan Ying came.
"Princess, you are amazing. According to your method, everyone confessed everything, whether asked or not. Even Advisor Lian, General Li, and Deputy General Wang, who were stubborn at the beginning, finally confessed."
Lan Ying finished speaking, handed over a notebook and a small bamboo tube, and continued.
"My Lord and Princess, this is a confession, and this little bamboo tube is the potion that can make the words appear."
Gu Yanming looked through the confession while Ye Xinran picked up the potion and tried it on the paper.
Lan Ying made an important confession on the side.
"General Li directly obeys Vice General Wang, who is Mr. Nanhua's man. As for Advisor Lian, he said a lot, but he just refused to reveal who was behind it. We gave him medicine, but it didn't work. There is another person who obeys the Yu family, and the others all obey those three people.
"I discovered something strange. The general had a "small" mark on his foot, while the deputy general Wang had a "white" mark on his foot!"
Gu Yanming and Ye Xinran were both startled and looked up at Lan Ying. Another "white" mark?
Now there are four kinds of marks. They are "three strokes, small, white, and wheat!" What does this mean? Are there other marks?
At this time, words also appeared on the paper in Ye Xinran's hand. She read, "On the Mid-Autumn Festival, at Xiangcheng Rongguan, I will meet you and spend the rest of my life with you!"
After hearing what Ye Xinran said, Gu Yanming also leaned over to take a look.
"Your Highness, do you think that the master behind them is going to come to Xiangcheng?" Ye Xinran told the black-clothed man what he had said in the cave before, that their master might make Yu Xiaodie the imperial concubine.
"It says 'lifelong commitment' on this piece of paper. Could it be that her master is coming to favor her?"
Gu Yanming was a little annoyed when he heard her say "favored" without blushing, but he couldn't get angry. He nodded sullenly.
"Then let's go to Rongguan in Xiangcheng during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Will we meet the person behind the scenes?" Ye Xinran was a little excited.
"It's feasible!" Gu Yanming thought, "We have to pass by Xiangcheng anyway, so we can find a way to stay for a few more days and leave after the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Also, Yiyonghou's eldest daughter Shen Wenjiao married Xiangcheng's garrison general Cai Huan! They would definitely have to go out of the city to pay a visit.
Dong Yishu's previous fiancée also worked as a receptionist in a brothel in Xiangcheng, so Dong Yishu could stay in Xiangcheng forever.
Also, Master's wife has already notified Senior Sister and Senior Brother to come and attend your disciple-recruiting banquet, so you can just wait to receive the gifts then!"
When it comes to the last one, Gu Yanming laughed!
Ye Xinran hadn't expected that there would be so many things to do during this trip to Xiangcheng! Most importantly, he was about to meet his senior sister and brother!
New author, new book, need your care, use your lucky hands to give a five-star praise! Muah!
