Chapter 742 : Eight Questions

Seeing that no one responded, the man glanced at everyone. Since Xiao Yun and others came out wearing casual clothes, even Lan Yu was mostly casual clothes, so the man glanced for a while and didn't see who Xiao Yun was. A hint of anger flashed across his face and stared at the three hundred soldiers and shouted: "Do you dare to ask who is Lord Xiao Yunxiao?"

Seeing that he would not go out again, Xiao Yun was afraid that this reckless man would be furious, so he hurriedly smiled and said, "The official is Xiao Yun. I wonder what the hell is going to do when this lord looks for the general?"

The man seemed to have never expected that a general of the sect was so young. After seeing Xiao Yun, he was stunned. However, when he saw more than a thousand people on the field, he thought he was Xiao Yun, so he took a step back and knelt on the ground with one leg and bowed, "Is the last general Guo Ying paying homage to General Guan?"

"Mr. Guo, don't be polite, please get up!" Xiao Yun helped Guo Ying up and asked, "I wonder if the general came here because he had instructions?"

Before this, Xiao Yun had heard Lan Yu talk about this person and knew that he was originally a subordinate of Guo Xing. Later, he and his brother Guo Xing raised an army from Zhu Yuanzhang. He even saw his confidant and ordered him to be in charge of the tent and called him Guo Si. As Zhu Yuanzhang's tent guard, he left his master and hurried to Jiming Temple. It is not difficult to guess that Zhu Yuanzhang had new instructions.

Seeing Xiao Yun's words, Guo Ying saw his purpose, and couldn't help but look at him more. He saw that he was young and gentle but could serve as a general. He was still a little confused about his ability. At this time, when he contacted him, most of his contempt was immediately gone, and he also complimented his fists and said again: "The Duke of the State Council received the memorial from the Lord. He just realized that there were such bold and arbitrary people in the army, deducting military pay, falsely reporting the soldiers, selling food and grass privately regardless of the ban, which made the soldiers in the army unable to make a living and fleeing privately. The Duke of the State Council was furious when he heard about it, and was deeply distressed. He ordered a humble position to come and suppress the Duke of the State Council's Mansion. The Duke of the State Council wanted to open a party to personally try the case!"

"Ah..." When Wang Qiang heard that Zhu Yuanzhang was going to try the case himself, even Wang Qiang couldn't help but scream, his face was pale, his whole body was trembling, and he seemed extremely scared.

Xiao Yun was unbearable. He watched Zhu Yuanzhang's methods a lot from later TV series. In his memory, he remembered that there was a general named Zhu Liangzu, a founding hero named Zhu Liangzu. Because he used his power many times to try to keep in touch with Daotong, but Daotong was not shaken. Dozens of wealthy and powerful bullies bought treasures in the market at a low price. They were a little unhappy and always used various charges to frame people. Daotong added shackles and handcuffs to them on the road of being well-connected. The families of various bullies fought to bribe Zhu Liangzu and beg him to escape.

Over time, Daotong was depressed and reported Zhu Liangzu's bad things to the court in sections. Before Daotong's memorial came, Zhu Liangzu's memorial to expose Daotong's arrogance and unreasonable situation arrived first. The emperor did not know the reason, so he sent envoys to kill Daotong. Just as Daotong's memorial also arrived, the emperor realized that he believed that Daotong's position was very low, but he dared to point out the illegal affairs of the ministers. He was honest and could also send envoys to forgive Daotong. The two envoys arrived in Panyu on the same day. The envoys behind him had just arrived, and Daotong had been killed.

Not long after, Zhu Yuanzhang finally knew that he had killed a loyal minister and was furious. He captured Zhu Liangzu and his son Zhu Xian died in front of the palace in front of the civil and military ministers of the court. This was not satisfying. Zhu Yuanzhang ordered all the bullies involved in the matter to be killed. Thinking that Zhu Liangzu had made contributions, he left him with a complete body, but the others were not so lucky. The skins of Zhu Xian and others were peeled off and hung in the downtown area for everyone to visit, thinking that they would be warned in the future.

After this, Zhu Yuanzhang created a large number of punishments, and the cruelty of the punishment exceeded any previous dynasty. The Tang Law has abolished the five punishments of ancient mo, slash, fi, palace, and big pledge, and replaced it with five punishments of flogging, stick, slaughter, flowing, and death (beheading, and slashing). In addition to the above five punishments, the Ming Law also used the cruel lingchi, tattooing, picking knees, chopping fingers, slashing feet, firing, castrating, tin snake swimming, brushing, owl ordering, and calling rods.

Tortures such as ingestion, skinning, and often use the punishment of the senile clans to be punished, and the three and nine clans of the clans were punished. Because the punishment was too severe, from the first year of Hongwu to the 19th year, no official had the expiration of his term of office, and was often demoted or beheaded before the final exam. Because there were too many officials killed, and no one in some local government offices worked, Zhu Yuanzhang had to implement the method of "death crime and returning to his post by simply passing away", which asked the criminal officials after the sentence to return to the court to work with shackles.

At this moment, when Xiao Yun heard Zhu Yuanzhang ask for these three people, a hint of unbearableness surged in his heart. He was hesitating. Lan Yu, who was standing beside him, suddenly flashed over and walked over, holding it in his ear and whispered softly: "Sir, don't you be kind and soft-faced, but you don't know that being with the lord is like being with a tiger! Besides, the eyes of these three people, you think you plead for him and wait for him, do you think he will be grateful for this?"

Xiao Yun was stunned. He was accompanied the emperor and the tiger. If he said that before this, Xiao Yun would not care about this sentence. After all, he was from the 21st century and his monarchy concept was not so strong. But at this moment he didn't see it so much. Especially for Zhu Yuanzhang, he didn't dare to be careless at all. He knew that the emperor's mind was terrible. He nodded after hearing this and turned to Guo Ying and said, "General Guo is polite. Since the Duke of the State has a order, I should obey it!"

Guo Ying thanked him, and waved his hand and immediately pushed the three of them to the Jiming Temple. At this time, the three of them were lifeless, like three dead dogs.

Thinking of the fate of the three of them, Xiao Yun sighed and shook his head. Under the support of the stars and the moon, he went to Jiming Temple. When he returned to Ying Tian, ​​he was afraid that he would blame Zhu Yuanzhang for not being strict with him in advance. On the way back, he told Guo Ying about the situation of these times and the arrest of Jiming Temple. Then he pulled the little princess, Xiaodie, and Xie Lanlan back to his mansion together.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Regarding Zhu Yuanzhang's criminal law on skinning, although Zhu Liangzu was the first, he was not the last one, and it was much better than Lan Yu later.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very strict with officials in various places. If any officials were corruption and tyrannical, they were allowed to go to Beijing to file a lawsuit. If an official embezzled more than 60 taels of silver, he would be sentenced to death. After beheading, he would be beheaded and displayed in public. He would peel off his skin, fill it with grass, and place this "human fur bag" next to the official seat in the yamen, which would shock the future officials and serve as a warning. A hall should be set up near the prefectures, prefectures, counties and governments to worship the land god. If someone needs to be peeled, it would be executed here. Therefore, this hall is called "Piechang Temple". 1. During the Hongwu period, the palace was
