479 Twenty lashes

The movements of these craftsmen came too suddenly, Xu Wen didn't react, and was stunned with the people next to him.

The camel hit the hardest, and when the other craftsmen saw that he was bleeding from his forehead, they gritted their teeth, and even followed suit, and within two blows, all of them saw red on their foreheads.

"We did it wrong!"

The camel kowtowed a few times, straightened up and screamed while gesticulating, and a person next to him took two steps forward on his knees to translate for him.

"Ahh......h Ahh

"Let us beat or punish, we will deal with it!"

"Ahhhh

"We are sincerely repentant, sincerely, and not false at all!"

This group of Nanyue craftsmen was already poor and broken, and they were not much better than beggars. Rolling in the mud and kneeling and kowtowing, blood and tears mixed together, it looked even more miserable.

The first two heads were knocked down against Xu Wen and Lei Zhu's head, and the back camel turned around and turned to Lin Duoduo on the stretcher.

A few heads knocked down, Lin Duoduo was in a hurry, and the anger on Chen Feng's face also turned into panic, completely at a loss.

They have never seen the world, where can they withstand such a bitter plan.

In fact, it's not just them, even if it's Xu Wen, knowing that they are using a bitter meat trick, they don't know what to do for a while.

But he soon calmed down and said, "In this world, you should act according to the law, and it is useless to merely repent." ”

"Ahh

"We can do what we need to do, and we will dispose of it. ”

"That's good. Xu Wen nodded and began to ask.

He was already confident and asked very quickly.

Who is the main culprit in this matter, who is the accomplice, who has the intention, who proposed the plan, whether there is anyone to dissuade them, who contributed the most when smashing the house, and who hurt people the most.

The camel also replied quickly, although all his words were "translated" by the man next to him.

For these questions asked by Xu Wen, he seemed to have all the plans in his mind and had been prepared for a long time.

He saw all the events before and after clearly, and remembered them clearly.

And it can be seen that everything he said is true, and the other Nanyue craftsmen next to him want to speak and stop, but there is no refutation or even supplementation.

With this strange conversation, Xu Wen roughly figured out what was going on.

There's really no one who started it, and there's not even a specific person who says, "Let's do it." ”

Everything lurked in everyone's emotions, and it broke out naturally, and as for what it was for, the camel just said a simple sentence -

"I can't live. ”

They receive supplies every ten days, save for themselves after receiving them, and find ways to make up for them if they don't have enough.

If you have enough to eat, you can eat it in two days, and if you count a little bit of food, you can last for seven days, and finally you have to go hungry for three days.

said that he could find a way to make up for it himself, but he was paid a month, and it was not yet a month, where did the money come from?

This time, for the sake of this group of Fengchun people outside the city, the new supplies issued by this group of Nanyue craftsmen were directly reduced by more than half, and they could only eat for three days when they were full.

What about the remaining seven days?

This is to starve them to death!

When the supplies were being sent, the craftsman told them lightly why they were sending less, and directly pointed the finger at the Fengchun people outside the city.

As a result, as the food around them became less and less, the emotions of these Nanyue craftsmen gradually accumulated, and their hatred for the Fengchun people became stronger and stronger.

At last, they broke out, and the camel threw his bowl and led them straight out of the city to get their things back.

"It's the craftsman who is missing supplies, and you should know this very well, why did you decide to go to Fengchun people to grab things in the end?" Xu Wen asked.

The camel is very stable when he "speaks", so Xu Wen can also ask the biggest questions very calmly.

He didn't have that problem before. Fear of bullying is the instinct of many people. But after seeing the camel, it was born.

It's not that he's strong enough to rebel or anything, it's that this person is very knowledgeable about current affairs.

Robbing the people of Fengchun can only solve the urgent need for a while, and if they look back, it will be easy to find out their heads, and they will still not be able to escape at that time.

Why do such a thankless job?

The camel was silent.

After a long while, he lifted his eyelids, glanced at Xu Wen, and gestured again.

"Because they're easy to grab. It's all about killing heads, and it's not the same between a full ghost and a starving ghost. ”

The sound of the translator next to him rose again, quietly, but with a cool air, which made the back of the neck hurt a little for no reason.

That is, they ...... Or is he actually mentally prepared?

Know the consequences of doing this, but you can't do it, you can only choose a way to make yourself better?

Xu Wen still couldn't agree with their behavior of picking soft sticks, but suddenly, a complicated feeling arose in his heart.

Like sympathy, like compassion, like a stronger powerlessness.

Why did the 10-day supply only last for two days, and why did the craftsman take away their last rations, knowing that they could no longer live?

This world is inherently unfair to these Nanyue craftsmen!

For a slightly more sober person like a camel, doing this is equivalent to putting his head on the guillotine, just waiting for a knife to fall.

"You will be so honest, I think it is also because you saw a turnaround. ”

Xu Wen was silent for a moment before speaking again. This sentence made the camel's eyes light up, staring at him deadly, waiting for his next step.

"Yes, you have made a big mistake, but I don't think you deserve death. And the thirty-eight of you, the Lord is never the same, and there should have been different punishments. If you do something wrong, you should still deal with it according to the law. ”

"Hmm!" the camel nodded without hesitation, still looking like he was going to be beaten or punished.

"Master Lei, breaking into people's houses, robbing and injuring people, how should I deal with it according to the laws of the Great Zhou?" Xu Wen turned to Lei Zhutou and asked.

When the camel and Xu Wen were talking, Lei Zhutou's expression also changed several times, and finally he was expressionless again.

At this time, Xu asked a question, and he replied quickly.

"Depending on the severity of the circumstances, the punishment varies. According to the law of the Great Zhou, the main offender should be sentenced to seven years in prison and be flogged. Accomplices ranged from three years to one year, with second-class caning and hard labor. ”

"How?" Xu asked, turning to the camel.

The camel was speechless and nodded heavily.

He was already kneeling on the ground, but then he fell down and exposed his back, fully indicating his meaning.

The other Nanyue craftsmen were originally in a daze, but when they saw him like this, they immediately followed and made the same action, very obedient.

"Time is urgent, how many whips do you have to receive, let's execute the head of the thunderbolt directly. Xu Wen had no objection and said to Lei Zhutou.

In the shadow on the other side, the horse-faced man moved, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything and leaned back.

"Then according to your word. Come on, go to the whipping!"

Lei Zhutou was very cooperative, shouted, and said decisively, "Twenty lashes for the first offense, ten lashes for the second offense, and five lashes for accomplices, execute it immediately!"
