In addition to the merchants who were arrested, the people standing on the city wall at this moment can be considered big businessmen in Yangzhou City. They can be considered to have some heels, and their hands and feet are not so clean.

Although Zhu Youxiao also investigated them and punished them as well, it was not enough.

At this time, we must let these people know that the times are different. If they are the same as before, then their fate is no different from those in front of us. We must make them realize that under the rule of their emperor, we should change our way of living.

The businessmen present all looked very ugly.

Some people started to tremble and their bodies became soft.

Some people looked pale and almost knelt on the ground, shaking like sieve. Only those next to them could stand up barely. Looking at this way, as long as someone lets go, he will fall to the ground.

Zhu Youxiao looked at these people and slowly turned his head.

He looked at Qi Yuanfu, who was standing guard with a spear on the side, and suddenly had an idea in his mind.

Should I take this spear over and recite a poem for these merchants in front of them?

As for what poems to use, it is of course Cao Cao's poem "Zhou Gong vomits food, and the world returns to his heart."

After reciting this sentence, stabbing a person to death with one shot to shock these merchants. I believe the effect will be very good.

But if you think about it, it doesn't fit your image.

Just as Zhu Youxiao was thinking about it, the following began.

The beheading of this era is not like the ones performed in later film and television works, and it is not directly cut down with a long knife. In that case, it is actually difficult to cut off the neck, and it is very difficult to cut off one knife.

In fact, there are actually two types of beheading, one is based on equipment and the other is based on technology.

Relying on equipment, to put it bluntly, it is to use a guillotine. Only a guillotine can be cut down with one slash and the head falls to the ground. It is impossible to cut off the head with one slash. The knife of this era is not that hard or sharp. Only with a guillotine can one slash, and the head is two points.

Another type is to rely on technology. Use a very thin and fast knife to find the gap in the neck bone on the person's neck, and then cut it with one knife. Sometimes it is not cut properly and it will be difficult to cut, which will cause death row prisoners to suffer.

As a kind emperor, Zhu Youxiao certainly would not choose such a method? He naturally chose the guillotine to serve.

At this time, a row of guillotines had been placed below. The blades were shining with cold light under the sunlight, forming a sharp contrast.

Someone took the booklet and started to name it? This is called verifying the correct person? See if the person beheaded is himself, don't make a mistake.

After the person is found to be the right person, the person is carried to the guillotine, and the more honest person will be put directly in; the person who is not honest and wants to be a dying struggle will be kicked in the knee from behind and kneel down.

As for the scene of eating on the execution ground? That is even more impossible. There is no such rule at all, so don’t even think about it.

The slaughtered rice has been eaten in the cell, and it has been eaten in the morning? It is naturally gone at this time.

After the person was stuffed into the guillotine, the executioner picked up the guillotine directly and waited for a command.

Everyone watched the scene with breath and concentration, and the scene was silent.

After this period of publicity, these people have been hated by the people. But even when they were about to kill people, no one shouted.

On the top of the city wall? Those merchants were even more afraid that they would be the next one? Or they were pulled out and chopped off.

This is simply a life-threatening one.

As the people below started shouting, "The third time is here!"

"cut!"

A powerful "slash" was shouted out? The guillotine fell, blood splattered? The head was rolling. In an instant, a bloody smell dissipated. It drifted around with the wind.

Although Zhu Youxiao stood above the city wall, he still smelled a bloody smell.

He turned to look at the businessmen next to him, some of whom had fainted and some began to vomit.

Obviously this scene has scared them, and this beheading is really scary.

Zhu Youxiao looked at them, turned around and walked downstairs.

There is no need to stay here anymore. Now the purpose has been achieved. I am not visiting people to kill people, but to scare these people so that they can understand what killing means.

Yangzhou City suddenly became quiet. Although there were many people urging and promoting, the atmosphere just couldn't get up.

The reason is very simple. The blood outside Yangzhou City has not dried yet. The headless corpses that have no one to collect are really chilling.

Such a large-scale murder is really scary.

After a long period of peace, how long has it been since officials, people, or businessmen seen such a scene?

This is simply scary!

Everyone was in no mood to make trouble anymore and became stable in an instant.

In Lichun Courtyard, Room No. 1, Tianzi.

Cao Bang walked in from outside, his face looking a little ugly.

He looked at Huang Changzong who was sitting in the room drinking tea, and felt so uncomfortable.

Cao Bang didn't know what to say, why did Huang Changzong meet again here?

That day, the emperor was eavesdropping next door, and he almost was scared to death after he found out. At that time, he decided that he would not come to Lichunyuan again even if he was beaten to death, let alone room No. 1 of Tianzi.

Even if there is a beautiful woman in Lichunyuan, I wouldn’t have come here to take a look!

But who would have thought that in just a few days, his vow was broken, and Huang Changzong made the meeting place in Room No. 1, Tianzi.

Although Cao Bang didn't want to come, he didn't dare not come.

When Huang Changzong saw him, could he say he wanted to change the place?

When Cao Bang made an appointment with Lichunyuan, he was not sure if the emperor wanted to see him, or if what they said was to let the emperor know, Cao Bang didn't dare to think about it.

Anyway, I have made an appointment, so I will come and meet again. It will be impossible to see you if you don’t meet again.

He ran here, and although he didn't dare to say anything in his heart, his expression inevitably felt a little resentful.

Huang Changzong turned a blind eye to Cao Bang's resentment and regarded himself as a blind man. You can't talk nonsense or do anything randomly in this place.

Huang Changzong sat there and poured Cao Bang a cup while drinking tea.

And behind the room not far away, someone recorded Huang Changzong pouring tea to Cao Bang.

Sitting opposite Huang Changzong, Cao Bang showed a bright smile on his face and said, "Brother Huang is here to find Brother Yu today, what's wrong?"

After hearing this, Huang Changzong smiled and said, "Brother Cao, I called you here today and I have something to tell you. But before that, I should ask how your family's affairs are doing? Is it all over?"

Cao Bang said with gratitude: "This is thanks to Eunuch Chen and the court. If I were to do it myself, I would probably die of exhaustion there."

"Fortunately, Your Majesty is polite and asks for help, so he can finish the matter in such a short time. It's really a great emperor's grace!"

Huang Changzong glanced at Cao Bang and knew that this was a flattery. The meaning of this topic just came up was to let Cao Bang flatter a few words.

Too much is not enough, that's enough. So Huang Changzong said, "Since it's done, I'm just going to tell you something new."

"Did you see the scene on the city yesterday?" Huang Changzong looked at Cao Bang and asked.

He looked at Huang Changzong with a very resentful look, and Cao Bang wanted to pull him over and scold him.

What is the question you asked? Can I not see it?

I was in front yesterday and almost scared me to death. I vomited out all the overnight meal. I haven’t eaten anything until now this morning!

This is just that you call me, otherwise I won’t come!

Now ask me this question?

No, it's disgusting again!

Cao Bang subconsciously covered his mouth, then quickly let go, and suppressed his disgust and said, "Go, what's wrong?"

"Then do you have any insights?" Huang Changzong asked with a smile when he looked at Cao Bang.

At this time, Huang Changzong was sincere in his attitude, gentle tone, and his eyes were filled with expectations.

This feeling was like waiting for Cao Bang to say something, and he was almost unable to help it.

Cao Bang was a little confused.

Feeling, how can you feel?

The heads were rolling, blood flowed into a river, and I almost vomited to death. How could I feel?

Do you want me to feel arrogant? It’s very effective to scare myself.

Cao Bang calmed down and said, "I feel deeply! I will kill myself if I do unrighteous things! I cannot do bad things, I cannot violate the law or discipline, otherwise I will not end up well!"

Huang Changzong glanced at Cao Bang, so helpless.

It was too bad at this time. I didn’t understand this matter. Do you still need to continue to enlighten me?

Sometimes this is too much, and what you realize is very important.

But there was nothing to do at this time. Huang Changzong said: "Do you have no insights? There is nothing you think you should do?"

"What should I do?" Cao Bang thought for a while and said, "I will do my best to live up to Your Majesty's kindness to me!"

Huang Changzong was helpless and almost stood up angrily, holding Cao Bang's neck directly questioned him.

But it doesn't work. There are so many people here that you may miss the news.

I don’t know what Your Majesty wants to do for the time being, so I can’t make trouble.

Huang Changzong could only say directly: "The Yangzhou merchants can reach this point, in addition to their own greed, a large part of the reason is that they have no rules and cannot be controlled. In this case, their ambitions grow and all kinds of ideas come out. They are no longer satisfied with making money simply. How can such people not have any trouble? Do you think so?"

After saying that, Huang Changzong looked at Cao Bang with expectant eyes, hoping that he could understand something

But Cao Bang was still confused and turned to look at Huang Changzong, a little confused and aggrieved.

Shaking his head helplessly, Huang Changzong said directly: "Don't you think that the current situation will be formed if a businessman lacks supervision? In order not to repeat the same mistakes, what should you do as the leader of the Yangzhou business world? What do you think? It's inappropriate not to do anything?"
