Forty-six men ended up being arrested—thirty-one Tenochca and fifteen Tlatelolca. They were quickly tried over the next few days; all were found guilty. On July 21, their heads shaven to mark their shame, they were marched through the streets and given two hundred lashes as they went. Then they were sold into servitude for terms of two or five years. The town crier announced the punishment at every corner, so that everyone in the city should know of their crimes.
