From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 365

Zhou Yuan did not kill Yun Xiansheng immediately. He wanted to wait until tomorrow, when he would behead him in front of everyone.

The other family heads were completely panicked. Under the emperor's sword, the gold medal of immunity from death fell to the ground, and Yun Xiansheng's hand was chopped off. What did they mean?

Zhou Yuan looked at everyone and sneered: "Don't even think about running away. I know everything you have done, and the evidence is irrefutable."

"None of the six major families in Kaifeng is clean, and they are all extremely vicious."

"You are the maggots of this world, and I, Zhou Yuan, will go all out today and kill all of you maggots."

Yun Xiansheng collapsed on the ground, wailing in pain, and shouted: "Zhou Yuan, you will not die well, His Majesty will not let you go."

"My Yun family is the mother's family of the Great Jin! We are a noble family with a history of 400 years!"

"I have a red-lettered iron certificate, and I have a plaque written by Taizu himself!"

"You are rebelling!"

Zhou Yuan said coldly: "Li He!"

"I am here!"

Zhou Yuan said: "Order Liu Fang to march forward and search the houses, tie up all the members of the six major families, and take them to Caishikou Square to kneel!"

"Yes!"

Li He strode away. He knew what this order meant, which meant that Kaifeng Prefecture would bleed.

Zhou Yuan continued: "Deng Su, send out the constables and soldiers to take over the manors, residences and properties of the major families, and resettle and comfort the victims."

"Issue a notice to announce the crimes of the six major families including the Yun family. Please go to Caishikou Square at noon tomorrow to watch the six major families being executed!"

Deng Su hurriedly said: "Your subordinate obeys your order!"

Zhou Yuan turned around and looked at Ye Qingying, and said in a deep voice: "All the internal guards of the inner court are dispatched to capture the fish that have escaped the net related to the six major families. No one is allowed to be spared."

"Escort them all to Caishikou Square and kneel down!"

"I will wash away the darkness of Kaifeng City with blood. I want to see if this is the land of the King of Dajin."

Ye Qingying nodded and left quickly.

Until then, Zhou Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "Xiang Yong!"

Xiang Yong hurried forward and growled, "I am here!"

Zhou Yuan said, "Take a thousand brothers and go to the apricot forest outside the city to dig out the bodies of the women who were tortured and put them in Caishikou Square."

"I want Kaifeng and the whole world to see the crimes in this city!"

Xiang Yong said, "I obey your order!"

That night, the sky in Kaifeng, which had not changed for hundreds of years, finally changed.

Tens of thousands of soldiers from the five military camps surrounded the six major families and major gangs. Although they encountered resistance, those so-called thugs and masters were all chickens and dogs in front of the organized army and the soldiers in armor, and they had no power to resist.

The arrest operation lasted until dawn, and batches of people were sent to Caishikou Square, which was almost full.

Zhou Yuan gave a direct order: "Can't fit it? If not, demolish the surrounding houses and pay the money when the time comes!"

"I want all the people in Kaifeng to watch this scene!"

The arrest operation continued until almost noon, when basically all the arrests were completed.

A wooden platform was built at Caishikou, and Zhou Yuan stood on the platform, looking at the countless people kneeling in front of him, and the countless people blocking the streets in the distance.

Deng Su strode over and said in a deep voice: "Sir, the six great families in Kaifeng, including the Yun family, a total of 493 people, have all been arrested, all here."

"Almost all the gang members and case-related personnel supported by the six great families have also been arrested, a total of 1,278 people, all here."

"Due to the long history of some cases, some participants are not in Kaifeng, so they have not been arrested, but the Internal Court has been dispatched, and it is only a matter of time before they are arrested."

"The victims of Afang Palace and major brothels have all been properly settled. The government office will send the major victims home based on the original selection materials."

"In addition, according to your instructions, there is indeed a group of victims who want to come to Caishikou to watch the execution. I have ordered the constables to bring them all here."

Zhou Yuan raised his head and saw women in black clothes in the distance. Most of them did not dare to show their true faces. They just looked at the people on the ground quietly and cried silently.

Because there was not only the murderer on the ground, but also thousands of corpses, which had already rotted away, and some were only skeletons.

The stench was terrible, but countless Kaifeng people still came to watch.

When they saw the corpses on the ground and heard the crimes in the notice, they were also furious and cursed, throwing anything they saw at the murderer's face.

The whole Kaifeng was indignant.

A brigade of more than a thousand people from the Fifth Army Camp maintained order. Zhou Yuan finally waved his hand and roared: "Quiet!"

Gradually, Caishikou became quiet. More than 100,000 people had gathered here., the houses around were demolished for two streets!

Zhou Yuan looked at the people around him with a cold and gloomy look.

He shouted: "There is a saying among the people in Kaifeng Prefecture, it is better to offend the King of Hell than the Yun family."

"There are many similar sayings, such as 'You can know the Holy Lord, but you must know the Yun family'."

"From this, it can be seen that the six major families such as the Yun family have accumulated a lot of power, have been doing evil for a long time, and have committed serious crimes."

"The Yun family is indeed a noble family of a hundred years, a royal family, but the net of heaven is vast and will not miss anything. One day, the crimes they have committed will be settled."

"The laws of the Great Jin Dynasty are strict, and the Holy Lord is also a wise monarch throughout the ages. How can we allow these beasts to cause harm to one side!"

At this point, Zhou Yuan raised the Emperor's Sword and said loudly: "Zhou Yuan came here under the order of the king, holding the Emperor's Sword and sitting in the Central Plains, just to put these black The dark filth is washed away!"

"No matter how high your official position is, no matter how noble you are, if you do evil, you must pay the price."

"Where is the governor of Zhongyuan? Read the verdict!"

Deng Su, wearing official uniform, strode onto the stage and said loudly: "The six major families including the Yun family and their gangs, thugs, followers, servants and other criminals, who have committed crimes such as murder, trafficking, rape, seizing land, smuggling and selling private salt, colluding with bandits and corrupt officials, are sentenced to death! The emperor's sword is there, and there is no need for the Ministry of Justice to review it, and the execution will be carried out immediately!"

Zhou Yuan roared: "Kill!"

One batch of criminals after another were pushed out, and the knife fell, and the heads rolled and the blood flowed.

Yun Xiansheng and others cursed, but nothing could be changed.

Today's Kaifeng City is destined to be washed by blood.

"Light the fire! Burn paper money! Burn incense! Commemorate the souls of the victims!"

At Zhou Yuan's command, fires were set all around, and carts of paper money were scattered and turned into raging flames.

Under the sun, the flames distorted the air and made countless people bow their heads.

The scorching sun, flames, blood, howling, cursing, sobbing, perpetrators, victims, ordinary people, officials, soldiers, demolished houses, smoke and dust blown by the wind... countless countless, everything, constituted this earth-shaking picture.

It uses blood as the main color and sorrow as the soul, interpreting the definition of justice and light.

In the complex changes of the picture, at some point, the cries disappeared, the screams stopped abruptly, and countless people knelt down and kowtowed to the young figure on the stage.

Zhou Yuan did not accept it, but walked off the stage, leaving only the Emperor's Sword.
