Chapter 167: Punishment with a cane

Concubine Wen likes to fly kites in the Imperial Garden, especially in the crisp autumn weather.

Taking advantage of the free time on duty, the four palace maids made and tried to fly kites in the backyard.

"Sister Shang, the backyard is too small for the kite to fly, why don't we try it in the square outside?" said the pretty and well-behaved palace maid Yan'er.

"How can the guard leave without permission? The big kite can't be released, so let's try to fly the small kite first." The palace maid Shang Wan'er said.

She is Concubine Wen's servant, the deputy director of the palace maid of Jingci Palace, and she came to the backyard to make kites today.

In late autumn in the small courtyard, the locust tree is green, the ginkgo is yellow, the courtyard is deep, the breeze rises, the kite flutters, the palace maid is happy, and the backyard is a warm scene of autumn.

"Yan'er, the kite you fly is so beautiful!" said the palace maid Qin'er, clapping her hands.

"The kite made by Sister Shang is easy to fly. Yan'er pulled the kite and said.

The kite floated higher and higher.

"Yan'er, don't let go of the kite, it's going to fly off. Seeing this, Shang Wan'er hurriedly shouted, "That's Niangniang's favorite splendid mud swallow kite." ”

A light kite flies in the air.

The thin kite is cut out of silk to create a mud bird's nest, the black and white colors are clearly matched, and the bird's body is embroidered with gorgeous peonies, longevity peaches and bats, which looks gorgeous and elegant, pretty and lovely.

There was a soft "poof" sound.

The mud swallow kite flew too high, and the excessively long line was caught by the eaves and suddenly fell to the roof.

Yan'er was dumbfounded for a moment, her eyes widened, and she looked straight at the kite on the roof.

Yan'er carefully pulled the silk thread, feeling a little struggling, and panicked in her heart, and the kite was stuck on the roof tile.

"Sister Shang, I didn't mean to!"

Yan'er was in tears, if she broke Concubine Wen's favorite kite, she would have to peel off her skin if she didn't die.

"Don't let someone get a ladder yet. Shang Wan'er glared at Yan'er fiercely and said.

Two eunuchs on duty brought ladders from the utility room and set them up on the eaves.

"Sister Shang, let them go and get it, the house is so high!"

Seeing that Shang Wan'er was about to go up the ladder, Yan'er was worried.

"They're clumsy, ripping off kites and cutting off your head. Shang Wan'er said impatiently.

Li Hui looked at all this indifferently, indifferently and speechless.

The direct hall supervisor is one of the lowest-ranking departments in the palace, responsible for the sprinkling and sweeping of the halls and corridors.

The eunuchs of the direct hall are mostly looked down upon, and they are not taken into the eyes of other eunuchs and palace maids, Li Hui came to Jingci Palace to be on duty, and almost no one was willing to talk to him, Li Hui naturally would not be cheeky and move forward.

Li Hui sat on the stone steps of the eaves, watching Shang Wan'er climb the ladder with cold eyes, and was shocked in his heart.

Shang Wan'er is a martial arts master!

Holding the ladder frame lightly with both hands, it seems to climb up step by step, but in fact, it almost floats up without touching the ladder.

Coming to the roof, Shang Wan'er carefully uncovered the tiles, took off the kite, walked back to the ladder and was about to step up the ladder, but her feet were entangled in the kite string, and she suddenly stumbled and fell from the roof.

Shang Wan'er was not afraid of danger, her body twisted slightly, she wanted to kick the broken silk thread and break the entanglement, but suddenly realized that the kite would be destroyed if the thread was broken, and she hesitated for a while.

said that it was too late, then it was fast, sighed lightly in his heart, was ruthless, let his body fall, turned over and let his back hit the ground, and fought to save the kite with minor injuries.

Everyone was stunned and chilled.

There was an incense burner in the place where Shang Wan'er fell, and a sharp and hideous tip was cast on the top of the stove lid, aimed at her head.

Between the lightning and the fire, a figure flashed suddenly, and one hand supported the back of Shang Wan'er's head.

"Ahh

Li Hui screamed, and his palm was smashed into the spire of the incense burner lid by Shang Wan'er's head, and the blood stained the incense burner red.

Li Hui endured the severe pain and pulled out his palm, revealing the white bones on the back of his palm.

Li Hui's palm was pierced and penetrated by the spire of the incense burner cover, and his fingers supported the back of Shang Wan'er's head.

Shang Wan'er's head was slightly hit and was not injured, looking at the top cover of the incense burner stained red with blood, she couldn't help but feel terrified, her face was pale, and she was shocked.

"Are you alright? Yan'er and Qing'er surrounded her.

Severe pain came from between the palm bones, Li Hui's face turned pale, and beads of sweat flowed down his cheeks and dripped to the ground.

Qin'er hurriedly took the medicinal powder and put it on it, bandaged it, and everyone in the audience was silent, as if they realized something.

"What are you doing?" Shang Wan'er's face suddenly sank like water.

I saw Shang Wan'er nodding at the two eunuchs, and said coldly: "Take it!"

The eunuch on duty came straight over, grabbed Li Hui's hand, and knelt on the ground.

"It is a capital crime to have martial arts and not report to the palace of the concubine. Shang Wan'er looked at Li Hui and said coldly: "Thirty canes, immediately executed." ”

Thirty canes, almost the highest level of cane punishment, were mostly beaten to death.

"Sister Shang, he's kind!" Yan'er said hurriedly.

"Mouth more, slap your mouth twice!" Shang Wan'er raised her eyebrows and said coldly.

The crowd was awe-inspiring.

"One, two, three......"

Bang! Bang......

The sound of cane punishment sounded in the backyard of Jingci Palace.

Looking at Shang Wan'er's cold gaze, everyone was silent and didn't dare to say more.

Shang Wan'er is a well-known cold-blooded female official in Jingci Palace, known as a poisonous widow, and she really lives up to her reputation, and she doesn't even let go of her life-saving benefactor.

Everyone sighed in their hearts.

After the cane punishment, Li Hui's back was blurred with blood, covered in blood, and he passed out.

There is a secluded courtyard in the northwest corner of the palace, called Sushentang, which is used to confine the eunuchs and palace maids who have made mistakes and are to be disposed of.

The palace was heavily guarded, and at night the gates and courtyards of the palace were locked, and those who were locked up had nowhere to escape if they wanted to, and besides, it was a capital offense to flee because of confinement, and no one dared to flee.

Li Hui lay quietly on the cold wooden bed, woke up, the weather was slightly cool in late autumn, the cold wind blew, Li Hui couldn't help but shiver.

The skin on his back has already been opened, and fortunately, I don't know if the eunuch didn't know how to perform cane punishment, or for the sake of being a fellow eunuch, Li Hui did not suffer internal injuries after 30 years of cane punishment.

Shang Wan'er's cold face always appeared in her mind, and Li Hui's heart was like a cool breeze on an autumn night, getting colder and colder.

There was a sharp pain in his back, and he was weak and drowsy.

Suddenly, a dark shadow floated in from outside the wall, and a masked woman in a palace maid's dress stood against the wall, like a shadow flickering.

Li Hui's heart tightened, his pupils shrank suddenly, he was the only eunuch who was locked up here, and this person came for him.

The palace maid stood at the window, clicked on the window paper, heard Li Hui breathing evenly, her body was motionless, she quietly pushed open the door, and suddenly pounced on Li Hui and pointed on the sleeping hole.

The palace maid unveiled the quilt, revealing her fleshy back.

The palace maid sighed, and carefully cleaned all the medicinal powder, revealing a hideous piece of flesh.

The palace maid took out a bottle of gelatinous medicine, gently applied it to Li Hui's back, and then applied the same medicinal powder as the one that was removed, covered with a quilt, and her figure flashed and disappeared into the darkness.

Li Hui suddenly opened his eyes.

The emperor is the ultimate target of the assassins, and the eunuch is the last line of defense around the emperor, and his martial arts are highly targeted to assassination, such as acupoint teleportation.

I have to say that Zhang Qing taught Li Hui the eunuch internal strength method, which is worthy of being the most amazing internal strength in the world.

Only then did Li Hui move the acupuncture points and avoid the palace maid's acupoints, only then did he know that the person who came was not harming him, but changing the medicine for him, and did not let him know.

As an ordinary eunuch, he can only use the most ordinary wound medicine, and the effect of the medicine is naturally not good.

Such a large area of flesh wounds can easily cause infection, and once infected with fever, there will be complications such as sepsis, which is also the main reason for the death of more than 30 or 10 people in cane punishment.

There was a cool and itchy feeling on the back, which was a sign that the wound was scabbed and healed, and the effect of the medicine was so good, the ointment that the palace maid applied to Li Hui was nothing less than a miracle medicine.

No matter how large the trauma, once the scab has formed, it means that there is almost no worry about troubles such as infection, ulceration and septic blood.

Li Hui sat up slowly, his heart was complicated, and his heart, which was as cold as an ice cave, slowly warmed up.

Before entering the palace, Zhang Shibao deliberately tested whether he had martial arts, which was actually a warning.

The masters in the palace are deeply hidden, even if they have some martial arts, they must not be shown in front of people, because you never know who you are facing, such as the seemingly ordinary Zhang Shibao, who shows the demeanor of a top master with one kick.

Emperors, concubines and others don't know martial arts, and if the people around them have martial arts, it will inevitably threaten their safety.

Martial arts must be reported, and not reporting is an absolute taboo for eunuchs and palace maids.

Li Hui stretched out his hand to save Shang Wan'er, exposing his martial arts, and immediately put himself in a desperate situation.

If you don't report your martial arts, you will face either death or expulsion from the palace.

Thirty canes show the attitude of the palace, because thirty canes are no different from execution, and even more cruel than beheading.

Most of those who die with canes are beaten to half of their bodies and wait for death slowly, and when they die, their skin and flesh festered and suppurated, and their bodies are covered with maggots, which is tantamount to torture in the world, and 30 canes indicate that they will not tolerate it.

"Father-in-law, Li Hui shows his martial arts, will it affect us?" Li Changhai took a cup of brewed tea and put it on Zhang Shibao's table.

"When you are selected into the palace from the mouth of the tube and do heavy and lowly hard labor, you naturally have to choose the strongest person. These people have fallen into the rivers and lakes, and it is normal for them to have some fists and kicks. There is a record of his rough kung fu on his resume, and he has been truthfully recorded and archived, what do we have to do with the accident?" Zhang Shibao drank tea and said lightly.

"Originally, this person was supposed to go to the thatched house to clean up the feces, who knew that He Lin, who was on duty in Jingci Palace, was unwell, and I saw Li Hui's eyebrows and beautiful eyes, so I temporarily arranged a shift to replace him, why not? Could it be that an ugly monster was sent to the palace to guard and collide with the nobles?"

"Shang Wan'er's girl is ruthless and poisonous enough!"

Li Changhai shuddered and said: "Not only did he not save his life-saving benefactor, but he also gave him a dead hand." It is really the most poisonous woman's heart, as poisonous as a snake and scorpion, and more poisonous than ......"

"Li Hui was punished by Jingci Palace, which means that Jingci Palace took over this person, and the death or expulsion has nothing to do with the direct palace supervisor. ”

Zhang Shibao said coldly: "You send someone to Su Shen Tang to see if Li Hui needs to find a doctor for diagnosis and treatment, and send some delicious food before the injury is healed." Anyway, he used to be the person of the direct palace eunuch, and he did his best to the heart of the direct palace eunuch. ”

"Yes, father-in-law. Li Changhai agreed, "It's still Father-in-law Zhang's benevolence!"

Li Changhai secretly slandered, obviously he was kind-hearted, but he pretended to be hard and cold.

......

Lei Shaoxuan had a bitter face, carrying two big bags in his hands, and followed behind Zhang Qianhua, complaining all the way.

As a monk, his body has been transformed by aura, and although his appearance is no different from that of ordinary people, he is actually extremely strong.

However, carrying such a large bag for a long time, although there is no problem with physical strength, I really feel exhausted in my heart.

From going out for breakfast in the morning, shopping all the way, stopping and stopping, shopping until noon, the things I bought were piled up into two big bags, and I still didn't buy all the things I wanted to buy.
