Chapter 206(2/2)
Now the armed police forces arrest people everywhere in Shandong, and there are many crimes and fleeing.
"All death sentences were executed during the trial, and officials torture them." Zhao Yan gave a cold order. Zhao Quan was sweating after hearing this, "Master, if the landlords were cut down, the conflict would probably be very sharp."
"Anyway, if there are too many lice, you won't be afraid of biting them. As long as you unite most of the people, you will be fine." Zhao Yan said. After cutting down the more than 300 landlords, you will inevitably be resented by their families, and social conflicts will become sharp, which is an inevitable problem.
But in order to fight corruption, Zhao Yan took the initiative.
...The Shandong Supreme Criminal Court opened a trial, and all the officials who accepted bribes were sentenced to death on the spot, and were sentenced to torture - skinning.
The more than 300 landlords arrested were also pushed to court for trial one by one. They were soon sentenced to death one by one, but they were just ordinary shots.
During this execution, all the landlords sent to their respective counties and shot in public. The officials who received bribes will be executed in Zhaojiabao.
This execution will recall officials from all over Shandong to Zhaojiabao for viewing.
At the same time, the cabinet has transferred Ruan Jingyuan to Shanxi as governor, and Zhao Yan has already communicated with Lu Xiangsheng almost as much as possible.
Lu Xiangsheng was very interested in jointly sending troops to attack Mongolia. Zhao Yan's layout in Shanxi had basically been completed. After waiting for the execution in front of him, he rushed north.
In early April, the atmosphere in Shandong seemed very depressing.
More than 300 landlords were taken back to prefectures and counties one after another, and were executed by shooting amid the onlookers of the people.
Officials from all over Shandong were also recalled to Zhaojiabao.
In front of hundreds of officials, Zhao Yan skinned the 105 officials who received bribes one by one.
The scene was so bloody and miserable that even Zhao Yan couldn't stand it anymore.
The corrupt official buried in the soil was cut off a hole on his head and then poured mercury into it. Then the corrupt official who was punished crawled out, and the layer of skin was peeled off, and as soon as it came out, it was a bloody man.
The executioner rushed up again and poured salt on these corrupt officials. The shrill scream made all the officials present look pale.
Zhao Yan's face changed slightly after seeing it.
According to normal procedures, a person must peel the skin three times. That is, after the first layer of skin is peeled off, salt will be applied to the person who was tortured to make scabs on the body. After two days, some can even last until the fourth time.
However, when Zhao Yan saw that the scene was too... brutal! He immediately asked someone to cancel the subsequent procedure and peel it in the future without adding salt.
He just wants to have a deterrent effect, and just have a cruel method to reach a limit. There is no need to rack his brains to torture the death row prisoner.
And skinning is enough to be scary.
Zhu Yuanzhang used skinning to make the officials of the Ming Dynasty clean in the early and mid-term periods. The reason why [***] was directly related to the later emperors' confusion.
It is necessary to use heavy sanctions in troubled times.
During this execution, local officials from all Shandong were present.
After Zhao Yan asked someone to skin more than a hundred corrupt officials, he also learned from Zhu Yuanzhang's method and asked someone to put the skin on straw and hang a sign to put it in the City God Temple.
The sign states the reason for being sentenced to warn future officials at all times.
The anti-corruption campaign that took place in Shandong caused all the officials in Shandong to fall into deep fear. Many officials have since become meticulous in their work, and only eat what is in the bowl and never take what is in the pot.
The landlords and gentry in Shandong were frightened by Zhao Yan's harsh law enforcement, and this incident made them understand Zhao Yan's determination in anti-corruption.
Ordinary people applauded at this time.
Just as Zhao Yan pursued, he united the masses. Under Zhao Yan's series of actions, the people of Shandong gradually developed a strong trust in Shandong's political axe.
Facts have proved that this is a political axe that protects the interests of the people, a political axe that will never cause the people to suffer losses.
During this anti-corruption process, Shandong Zhengfu has increased its credibility again.
The political atmosphere in Shandong has improved again after this anti-corruption campaign. All the officials who returned to the local area are conscientiously managing the territory they are responsible for.
The officials below were much more diligent than before. When they came into contact with the people, they were all soft and soft, fearing that they would be complained about their "bad work attitude".
Officials' mischief at the local level can be said to be 100% eliminated. In Shandong, any complaint or petition can be effective.
The result is that the people supervise officials, officials supervise officials, and lower-level officials can report their superiors, and higher-level officials are responsible to the lower-level officials at all levels.
