Zhan Yunpeng stood up and slowly took off his long-winged hat. He said in a loud voice: "Jiao Zifu, Jiao Mang, Wuleqi, and Mu Nanfeng. These four are guilty of heinous crimes. I sentence them to be taken to the market and executed immediately!"
Everyone couldn't believe their ears. Jiao Zifu pointed at him tremblingly and said, "Zhan Yunpeng, you, you dare to disobey my order!"
Zhan Yunpeng banged the gavel: "That's right! I'm going to disobey your order! Come on, drag him out and behead him!"
The yamen runners were already furious. The Chief Justice had given the order, so they rushed forward, arrested the four men, and took them to the Xiongzhou vegetable market.
Fang Rucheng was also horrified: "Brother Zhan, this is disobeying the imperial order, you should think it through carefully."
Zhan Yunpeng ignored him, waved his sleeves, strode out of the county government office and headed for the vegetable market.
The people of Xiongzhou had already come out to watch, and people quickly gathered together, whispering and talking.
The people were used to being bullied by these people, so when they saw these four evil thieves being arrested, they all applauded.
The yamen runners took the four men to the market, and Jiao Zifu finally started to get scared. Zhan Yunpeng must be crazy. Disobeying an imperial order was a serious crime punishable by the death of nine generations of his family.
Zhan Yunpeng didn't follow the formalities of identifying himself and signing his name. When the bailiffs dragged the four men to the market, Zhan Yunpeng drew one of the bailiffs' swords and rushed over.
"Crack!" Mu Nanfeng's head was chopped off with a knife.
Jiao Zifu and others watched Mu Nanfeng's head rolling off, their teeth chattering with fear, their whole bodies shaking and unable to speak.
Zhan Yunpeng chopped off Wuleqi's neck without saying a word, "Crack!"
The muscles on Jiao Mang's face twitched, and he fainted. Zhan Yunpeng grabbed Jiao Mang's hair, staring intently at Jiao Zifu. The knife in his hand slowly cut Jiao Mang's neck.
Jiao Zifu was terrified and watched Jiao Mang's head fall off.
Zhan Yunpeng struck back with a knife and killed Jiao Zifu again. Jiao Zifu's eyes were wide open with fear when his head hit the ground.
Zhan Yunpeng threw away his sword, took the shackles that the yamen runner had already prepared, and put them on himself. He turned to the yamen runner and said, "Let's go!"
When he went to the vegetable market, Zhan Yunpeng had already ordered that the four thieves be beheaded and he himself be taken to the capital to await the emperor's decision.
