Ah Xiu is a blessing to Xu Dayingying. Although Xu Da was a warlord in his previous life, Zhu Yuanzhang watched from the sidelines, where did he dare to bear it, and he didn't dare to reach out to help, so he could only hurriedly say: "Absolutely not!" The princess was humiliated. At the same time, he bowed on one knee and saluted.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy to see Ah Xiuxian's virtue and reasonableness, and when he saw Xu Da's panicked look, he laughed loudly: "Haha! Tiande doesn't have to be so polite! Ah Xiu is not the kind of person who sticks to etiquette, you saved her for me, and I should thank you together, now she has the right to thank you for me, you deserve it and deserve it! Get up. Xu Da got up from the ground at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered someone to give him a seat, went in to see the Hu family, and came out and took the two of them to sit down in the front yard hall.

After the people took the towel basin, Zhu Yuanzhang cleaned his face, ordered someone to serve tea, and asked about the experience, and Ah Xiu returned the matter to Zhu Yuanzhang as it was. Zhu Yuanzhang made a nameless fire again, stood up and slapped the table and said, "Bold!" This slut! I didn't even see it in the past! How can such a prostitute be spared! To ask someone to bring the Zhao family back, Ah Xiu hurriedly stopped, pulled Zhu Yuanzhang to sit down, and hurriedly persuaded: "What kind of identity is the prince, why bother to meet her in general?!" The state has national laws, and the yamen has been sent, how can I come back! ”

Xu Da also frowned, it was really the most poisonous woman's heart, and he felt that Ah Xiu not only did not take the opportunity to provoke Zhu Yuanzhang, but also spoke out to persuade him, which was really good-natured. Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, but after all, he was still angry, and finally sent someone to the yamen to bring back the Zhao family, and ordered all the ladies and subordinates to come to the front yard. Ah Xiu had no choice but to order someone to inform Huilan and Lian'er to take the children, especially Zhu Di, locked up in the room and not come to the front.

When everyone arrived, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered someone to bring a big thick wooden pillar with piers underground, and stand in the middle of the courtyard. Zhu Yuanzhang was dressed properly, walked out of the hall, and said loudly to everyone: "The so-called humane husband, it is necessary to unite the family and govern the country to level the world!" Now I am the head of the family, the king of Wu in the world, but such a disaster has been born in the house! The princess has a good heart, and she treats all of you generously on weekdays, but I can't tolerate a little sand! Now, although you should do this in the Yamen, now I will let you see it with your own eyes! Learn a lesson from! Come! Zhu Yuanzhang shouted, "Torture!" Cabin! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's words, the sound was like a bell, and everyone was already frightened and silent, and they didn't dare to come out, seeing the wooden pillars, but they didn't see firewood and grass, knowing that it was not a burning stake, but they were also frightened. The courtyard became quieter and quieter, and Zhu Yuanzhang's voice became clearer and more severe. In the end, everyone heard the word claustrophobia, and let out a burst of inhalation sounds, Ah Xiu secretly wondered: This claustrophobia, as the name suggests, isn't it just a small black house and confinement? Why are people so afraid? Is there anything else to pay attention to? If that's the case, what is this wooden pillar for, and there is no firewood, it doesn't look like it is going to burn people!

Ah Xiu thought to himself, but he moved his hand and pulled out the Zhao family from under the porch. Zhao's mouth was stuffed with a handkerchief from the moment he entered the house, and he also changed into the prison clothes of a female prisoner, his hair was unkempt, and his face was still covered with blood stains from the previous beating, and he was dirty, but his eyes, like a burning charcoal fire, stared at Ah Xiu who was standing by the door in the room, as if he wanted to burn Ah Xiu with the fire in his eyes.

The sergeant at home tied Zhao's hands around the pillar with back-cut scissors, and the rope also fixed the shoulders as if to prevent them from slipping, and the waist was also wrapped around the pillar with a wide cotton cloth, and the legs were shoulder-width apart, tied from the knees, and tied at the ankles. The sergeants tied up very slowly and carefully, and Ah Xiu was even more strange, and everyone seemed to really light the fire, and they all had the intention of retreating.

Seeing them tied up, Ah Xiu saw that her Xiaohong was under the pillar by the door, and secretly beckoned her to come over, asking her what this formation meant and what claustrophobic. The little red was speechless, shook her head in fright, and said that she didn't know very well, but vaguely knew that it was very scary, and asked Ah Xiu to ask the nurses of some older ages. Ah Xiu nodded, asked her to call Xiaosi's mother, and asked again in a low voice.

Xiaosi's mother was also shocked when she heard Ah Xiu's question, looked left and right, and stopped talking. Seeing that she didn't dare to speak, Ah Xiu pulled her into the room, and she whispered to Ah Xiu: "Hui Princess, what a noble person you are, naturally I don't know what kind of punishment this is!" I don't know if you ever knew about the palace punishment of the previous dynasty? Ah Xiu nodded suspiciously; Is it the punishment of castration by the fathers-in-law in the palace, I know, is it just related to this? The little four's mother had the courage to return: "This is the palace punishment of the woman's family!" ”

Ah Xiu was stunned, his pupils shrank, and his eyes trembled in surprise: A woman's palace punishment! Never heard of it! A man's palace punishment is to make people infertile, and a woman's palace punishment, will it be cut open and cut off**?! No, where is the surgical technique now, you will die if you open your stomach! It's so cruel and bloody! Thinking of this, Ah Xiu was just about to go out to stop her, but Xiao Si's mother stopped her and said, "Does the princess ask for mercy?!" ”

"That palace punishment is to kill people! This is a human life, how can you not intercede! Ah Xiu's voice trembled slightly, and he wanted to shake her off. The little fourth mother couldn't care about her identity, so she dragged Ah Xiu into the room, and she hurriedly persuaded in a low voice with fine sweat oozing from her forehead: "Princess, don't!" Don't say that the prince has never said the same, and persuasion may not be good, just saying that this matter was originally caused by the princess, the prince was unhappy for the princess, and made up his mind to kill the chicken and make an example, how could he refute the prince's face in public and persuade him hard! ”

"How's that good? Do you want to see her die?! Ah Xiu stomped his feet. Xiao Siniang sighed, and then explained: "This claustrophobic will not hurt your life!" It's just a little painful. What's more, I have served my wife for so many years, how can I not know my wife's bodhisattva heart! This woman is a femme fatale, and the princess saved her, and she will inevitably suffer from it again in the future! In case the princess has a high mountain and low water, what can the young masters do at that time! ”

In the end, this Mother Sun is old, and Ah Xiu is helpless to say anything, Mother Sun saw Ah Xiu swaying, and reminded again: "Now let the prince use her to help you establish your authority, and there will be fewer such things in the future!" Wouldn't it be better?! Ah Xiu thought about it, and heard that there was no danger to his life, so he had to sigh and endure it. When I walked out of the door, I was already tied up outside, just waiting for the execution.

A strong palace guard had taken two strange sticks out of nowhere, one as wide and flat as a livestock's fan bone, and the other as round and slender as an ordinary court staff. The guard handed a stick to another person, and the two of them held the thin end, put the other end on the ground, and stood on either side of the Zhao family, waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang to give the order.

"Execution!" Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows, his eyes narrowed, and shouted. Hearing this, the two of them took turns whipping Zhao's lower abdomen, the lower edge of which was wrapped in cotton cloth, with their broad ends. Zhao's mouth was gagged, but he screamed in pain, and Zhu Yuanzhang ordered someone to carry two chairs and let Ah Xiu and himself sit down and watch the execution. Ah Xiu frowned, Zhu Yuanzhang thought she was timid, and ordered someone to put Ah Xiu's chair at the door of the house.

After barely looking at it for a while, he found that the two sergeants applied their strength very skillfully, not desperately whipping, but relying on clever tremors to impact the lower abdomen, puzzled, Ah Xiu turned his face sideways and quietly asked the grandmother: "What does this mean?" Mother Sun whispered in her ear: "This is like an abortion, the place where the bad child in the body is closed, although people are not dead or disabled, they can no longer do things in the future." ”

Ah Xiu was surprised: **Prolapse? It looks like the impact, but how can it be closed? The more I thought about it, the more I felt that the ancient criminal law was terrible, and Ah Xiu happened to see that the Zhao family was still staring at him, so he had to stagger his eyes and stop looking into the courtyard. The muffled noises and whining howls were as terrifying as turning the yard into a hell.

Suddenly, there was a low cry in the crowd, and Ah Xiu raised his eyes to see that it was the Zhao family's urine incontinence due to pain and beating, wet white prison clothes and pants, and dripping to the ground. The two executioners stopped, one of them stroked her lower abdomen with his hand, and then retreated to continue the fight, the muffled sound and the miserable howl sounded again, Ah Xiu almost wanted to cover his ears, but the sound was so hard to drill into his ears, there was no way to avoid it.

How shameful is this kind of punishment in this era, being beaten and drowning, dirty clothes and body, and being watched, for a female criminal, such a **naked tear off a person's dignity and women**, and forcibly deprive of the rights of reproduction and both sexes, how cruel! Ah Xiu thought about it, and suddenly remembered the concubines and concubines who were killed by jealous women in the past: In the past, in ancient books, I saw the punishment of people gouging out their eyes and cutting off their hands and feet, and I thought it was so bloody, but now although I haven't seen a trace of blood, isn't it the same cruelty?!

Now that I am in this era, if I am not a Xiu, if I am a concubine, if I am another female concubine, if I meet a ruthless jealous woman, with my indisputable character, is it difficult to guarantee that I will not fall into such a situation?! Now this Zhao family, isn't it because of jealousy and hatred that he wants to kill me and replace him? Now I am not poisoned, and Hu Shi has not been killed because of the timely treatment. Is this the power of history? Or is God merciful?

The execution was thrown on, and Ah Xiu's narrowed phoenix eyes were filled with water, and then a sad tear flowed. She herself didn't know why these tears flowed, whether she was pitying Zhao, or herself, or being grateful to God. But this tear made Ah Xiu understand one thing, that is, he must not let himself be put in such a dangerous situation again, and he must no longer blindly humble and retreat, not only can he not avoid fighting and death and injury, but can only increase each other's pain.

Rotten kindness can't save anyone! She must be gracious because she has to protect her husband, protect Lian'er and Huilan, and protect the children who have not yet grown up!
