The evidence was conclusive and could not be denied. Coupled with the severe torture by Jin Yiwei, the Xu family housekeeper first confessed everything he knew.

Subsequently, some of the Xu family servants and the officials involved also truthfully confessed that they had received benefits from the Xu family, helped the Xu family change the name of Fushou Ointment to Xiaoyao Ointment, and protected it.

The evidence was overwhelming, and many officials from Songjiang Prefecture and Shanghai County were arrested one after another. Even county officials, as well as government officials and police officers, were implicated.

Under Zhu Kezang's instruction, Dali Temple officials publicly tried the case of the Xu family and his son in front of the people of Shanghai County.

Finally, it was concluded that the Xu family was responsible for 21 murders, 11 cases of rape of civilian girls, more than 50 bribes, selling longevity drugs, forcing girls into prostitution, and taking human lives, which are too numerous to list.

Xu Qianxue, Xu Jun, the housekeeper and the persons involved were all twenty-one and sentenced to death. Their property was confiscated and the victims were compensated for their losses.

The remaining Xu family accomplices were sentenced to imprisonment or exile, while many of the officials who were pulled out of the carrots and brought out of the mud were sentenced to exile in Australia.

After the verdict of the Xu family and his son came down, the people burst into joy.

Among the people watching, there was a special family.

They are the family members of Xu Jun’s teacher Zhou Yunye.

At that time, Zhou Yunye was poisoned by Xu Jun, but because of Xu Qianxue's power, the matter was ignored by the Qing court.

Zhou Yunye's wife and children originally thought that they would never have the chance to avenge Zhou Yunye in this life, so they gave up this thought.

Unexpectedly, retribution would come so quickly. Listening to the court's trial of the Xu family, Zhou Yunye's family members hugged each other and burst into tears.

Later, people from Dali Temple loaded the Xu family, his son, and the main accomplices into prison cars and paraded them through the streets.

On both sides of the street, angry people took out vegetable leaves and rotten eggs to greet them. The two of them were beaten half to death before they reached the execution ground. Zhou Yunye's wife and children were the hardest hit.

In fact, among the people watching, there were not many real victims, but the Xu family had a bad reputation, so it seemed that every person had a grudge against them.

The people of Shanghai County chased the prison car, throwing vegetable leaves along the way, and surrounded the Xu family, father and son, and others to the Huangpu River. Hundreds of thousands of people from the entire county came out to surround the execution ground.

The Jin Yiwei formed a human wall to suppress and maintain order, with Xu Qianxue, Xu Jun and others kneeling in the middle.

Nalan Mingzhu, no Ye Mingzhu, as a former good friend of Xu Qianxue, he also came to see the Xu family on a ride today.

He cried out in his heart that Xu Qianxue couldn't understand clearly. He, a Manchu, knew what Zhu Kezang had explicitly prohibited, so he shouldn't touch it!

Fortunately, Ye Mingzhu, as a surrendered minister, had little power, so Xu Qianxue did not ask him for help, otherwise he would also be implicated.

"Xu Jian'an, you are confused!"

Ye Mingzhu murmured to himself, feeling as if a rabbit had died and a fox was sad. As a surrendered minister, he was afraid that he would end up like this in the future.

By the way, Xu Qianxue also has several younger brothers, namely the second brother Xu Bingyi, the third brother Xu Yuanwen, and the fourth brother Xu Liangcai.

The second brother Xu Bingyi was a learned man and an upright man, so he did not participate in this incident.

His third brother, Xu Yuanwen, was the same as him. In the original history, Fu Lata, the governor of Jiangnan and Jiangxi, impeached Xu Qianxue and his younger brother Xu Yuanwen for a total of fifteen crimes, and both of them were dismissed from office.

Therefore, he also participated in selling longevity drugs, and he was also someone who was going to be shot.

As for the fourth brother Xu Liangcai, he was the son of a concubine and had little status in the Xu family, so he was not involved in selling longevity drugs.

"Dad! Didn't you say that I was sentenced to forced labor? Why am I going to the execution ground? Please think of a solution quickly."

Xu Jun, who has done many evil things, was almost scared to death, "I don't want to die!"

Xu Qianxue suffered from hemiplegia due to a stroke and had already resigned himself to his fate. He glanced at Dai Duozi with a crooked face and was speechless.

At this time, the guards in Jinyi who were responsible for the execution had already aimed at the hearts of several people.

"The time is up, kill him!"

Following the order from the Dali Temple official, a series of gunshots rang out, and gunpowder smoke filled the air. Key criminals such as the Xu family and his son had already fallen into a pool of blood, which caused a burst of cheers from the crowd.

Interestingly, this was the first public execution case in the history of the New Ming Dynasty.

With the popularity of the death penalty, beheading and lingchi have gradually withdrawn from the stage of history.

After the Xu family case, Jin Yiwei had an additional function, which was anti-narcotics.

At the VIP exit of Yingtian Railway Station, Liu Dian, Minister of Rites of the Ming Dynasty, Yin Shao Tingcai of Yingtian Prefecture, Ye Mingzhu and some officials are waiting for the arrival of Mustafa Pasha.

After all, the other party is the prime minister of the Ottoman Empire. Regardless of his status, even if Osman begins to fall, he is still one of the most powerful countries in this era, and the etiquette must be in place.

Generally speaking, diplomacy pays attention to reciprocity. They send the prime minister to come, and the Ming Dynasty has to send the prime minister to greet them.

However, Zhu Kezang did not think that the Ming Dynasty and Osman should be completely equal, so he sent the Minister of Rites over, which was enough to give Osman face.

As for why Ye Mingzhu appeared here, he was just making up the numbers.

Recently he has returned to Yingtian from Liaodong.

Because Ye Mingzhu, the Manchu pacifier, was assigned another task by Zhu Kezang.

This task is to revise Qing history.

Although the Qing Dynasty won the country unfairly, for Zhu Kezang's new Ming Dynasty, even if it was the previous dynasty, it still had to be repaired.

Zhu Kezang only explained one thing, and that was to write down the truth. No matter how many cities were massacred, they must be written down.

There is no need to deliberately smear it, this alone is enough for Qing Shi to eat a pot.

Historically, the Tartar and Qing Dynasties compiled the History of the Ming Dynasty one after another for more than ninety years. It was not completed until the fourth year of Qianlong's reign. It was the longest official history book.

I have been cultivating for so long, and I don’t even have to think about whether I have been smeared or not.

For example, the four emperors of the Southern Ming Dynasty and one of them was the governor of the country, and they were all recorded as vassal kings in the Ming history. However, the king of Lu, who was the governor of the country, was recorded in the Ming history as the king's surname and he was sunk into the sea.

The most outrageous thing is that Guo Xingye passed away in June 1662, and King Zhu Yihai of Lu passed away in November 1662.

Although Zhu Kezang's grandfather did not get along with Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, the surnamed master still respected people and ministers and worshiped Zhu Yihai.

Archaeological discoveries in the 20th century also confirmed that King Lu died of natural causes or illness and did not die of persecution.

The evidence is found in the unearthed epitaph "Keng Zhi of King Lu of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty", which records that "King Lu always suffered from asthma, and died of phlegm on the 13th day of the eleventh month of Renyin."

The Qing Dynasty really blackened the country's surname master too much.

It is estimated that the Battle of Guoxingye's Zhenjiang killed the Manchu Eight Banners too hard, and the Tatars held a grudge.

As for the ridiculous records outside the history of the Ming Dynasty, they are everywhere. For example, the particularly ugly portraits of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, were all painted during the Qing Dynasty.

Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty executed ten clans of Fang Xiaoru. According to records, during the Wanli period, Fang Xiaoru was rehabilitated and his descendants who were exiled to the border were pardoned.

Ming Chengzu ordered three thousand palace ladies to be beheaded alive, which is even more ridiculous.

History is indeed a little girl who can be dressed up by anyone.

By the way, the final draft of History of the Ming Dynasty was written by Zhang Tingyu.
