Chapter 33: The Art of Skinning
Mao Wenlong came over and nodded to the team outside the tent, and four of them came in and took the soldier who was in charge of the execution.
The soldiers in the tent were frightened one by one, knowing that the military gate was ruthless, staring at and killing, and when he was ruthless, he really looked like his nickname of "king skinning", once he used his secret technique of skinning, it was enough to skin people alive. Lan Mei angered him, and he was about to splash blood in the military tent!
Lan Mei saw that Wang Xuegang was rude, and the dignified commander of the army opened his mouth to curse, he was really acting like a robber! Who knew that Wang Xuegang's inkstone did not smash Lanmei, but injured the soldiers who were in charge of the execution, so he said: "You are the emperor's uncle, I will beat you first!"
Lan Mei was about to argue, but Wang Xuegang shouted: "Come on, pull down and fight!"
The wolf-like soldiers pounced on two, and one of them grabbed one of Lan Mei's arms and shouted: "Don't talk nonsense, come here." ”
The two of them staggered Lan Mei to the big tent, the soldiers stretched out their feet and suddenly pulled Lan Mei's legs, pressed them to the ground, one rode on Lan Mei, pressed her shoulder with her left hand, and grabbed Lan Mei's head with her right hand and pulled it up, prostrate herself on the ground, her face could be pulled up, and she was facing Wang Xuegang, who was sitting high.
Another soldier took off Lan Mei's middle coat, pulled it to the base of her thigh, and reached out to tuck it in her crotch. This is the most important thing in execution, for the prisoner to be beaten and protected from pain, must struggle, although there is a person in charge of the execution, it is inevitable to move and rub, one is not tucked well, and there is a worry about life when the crotch is piled up.
At this time, the soldier in charge of the execution pressed Lan Mei's legs, a soldier with a crow's beak stick, and Wang Xuegang shouted "Hit!" The soldier turned around and came to Lan Mei's left side, and immediately hit it with a stick.
The crow's beak stick is much more powerful than the board, Lan Mei is a scholar, how can she afford these tortures, and when she hits thirty sticks, her skin has been opened, and blood is splashed. At the beginning of the fight, Lan Mei could wail, but later fainted, seeing that Lan Mei was about to die with a stick.
Seeing that Lan Mei had already closed his breath, the person in charge of the punishment stopped his stick and said, "Yu Junmen, the prisoner has closed his breath, ask for the grace of the Junmen." ”
Wang Xuegang said: "Smoke him over and beat him again!"
The person in charge of the torture didn't dare to say much, so he retreated, and the soldier who pressed his leg used a straw paper roll, which was burned, shook it on Lan Mei's face, and put it into his nostrils. A wisp of smoke all drilled into Lanmei's nose, and as soon as the trick was opened, she sneezed and woke up slowly.
Wang Xuegang's heart is like iron and stone, how can there be any pity?
At this time, seeing the two soldiers carrying Lan Mei back and forth at the gate of the army, he couldn't help but be furious, patted the public desk and said, "You are too presumptuous!" The frightened two soldiers hurriedly pressed Lan Mei to the ground.
Wang Xuegang asked sharply: "Lanmei, are you recruiting?"
Lan Mei replied weakly: "I don't know how to move late?"
Wang Xuegang sneered and said: "This military sect was born and died, and after eleven years of bloody battles, he earned this official position. I'm desperate to give up this fame, and I want to take your confession. Come on, pull him down and beat him with a hundred python whips, see if you have the ability, just stand up for the punishment!"
At this time, the two young men kneeling behind them knelt forward and climbed half a step, kowtowed upward, their faces were full of tears, and they choked up and said: "Ask for the grace of the military gate, what kind of crime should my father deserve, my brother is willing to be punished on behalf of his father, please ask the military gate to open the favor!"
Wang Xuegang asked, "What are the names of the two of you?" The one on the left is named Lan Shizhong, and the one on the right is Lan Shixian.
Wang Xuegang said: "You want to be punished on behalf of your father, but you are a filial son." But how often did your father have dealings with the enemy forces in Blackwater? What kind of people often come to your house? ”
Lan Shizhong kowtowed upwards and said, "The student is brave and does not dare to deceive the military gate, and my father will never recognize the people of the Black Stone Empire. Except for a few scholars in the city who often come to our house to gossip, we have never seen anyone come to our house. ”
Wang Xuegang glared and said, "Shut up, your father and son don't have a good person, come on, each of you will give me a hundred python whips first." ”
Li Chengfeng couldn't bear it anymore, and said upward: "Junmen, what is Lanmei's crime? I was arrested and sent to the camp, and I was treated as a prisoner. ”
Wang Xue just glanced at Li Chengfeng and said coldly: "Your name is Li Chengfeng, right?"
Li Chengfeng replied: "Yes." ”
Wang Xuegang said: "What did you come to Blue Lion City for?"
Li Chengfeng said: "I was ordered by my father to write to Lanmei." ”
Wang Xuegang said, "What is your father's surname?"
Li Chengfeng said: "My father's surname is Li Yuzhen. ”
Wang Xuegang was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "But Li Yuzhen from the National Teacher's Mansion?"
Li Chengfeng said: "Exactly." ”
Wang Xuegang felt a chill down his spine, his tone had eased, and he asked, "What are you doing in Yunbei Region?"
"Rushing to the front line of the battlefield, the official document is in that small bag. Li Chengfeng replied.
Wang Xue just asked Li Kecheng and said, "Have you ever investigated, can there be an official document of the empire in that small bag?"
Li Kecheng said: "The subordinates can see clearly, and there is no official document. ”
Wang Xuegang shouted loudly: "You dare to deceive this army and pretend to be the son of a national teacher! You are from the enemy's nest and are designated as the enemy party." Say, what kind of official position does your master and apprentice do under Heifeng? When will he enter the army to take my Blue Lion City? Say it as soon as possible, if you dare to quibble, let you have copper and iron bones, and this army will beat you to a broken bone and tendons. ”
At this time, Lan Mei was groggy, kneeling on the ground, moving slightly, and the wound was painful. The previous two sons pleaded for themselves, knowing that they were asking for hardship, but when the young man in Xuanyi said that his father was Li Yuzhen, he wrote a book for himself, and he couldn't help but secretly say: "It turned out to be the third brother!"
Lan Mei suddenly remembered: Twenty years ago at the Flying Insect Inn, she suddenly heard a guest in the next room, moaning in pain, as if she was seriously ill, and she was moved by compassion for a while, and called the shopkeeper in to ask what was going on with the guest in the next room?
The shopkeeper said: "The guest next door has been staying for several days, yesterday was still good, overnight, suddenly got sick, we asked him if he would like to ask the doctor to come and see? He said that the doctor could not cure his illness, and the emperor he brought was all stolen by thieves last night, and there was no money to take medicine, resigned to fate, died and accepted fate, we had no choice but to let him do as he pleased." ”
Lan Mei then went to the guest house, and saw that the guest was about thirty years old, with a good physiognomy and appearance, and the clothes on his body did not look like he was destitute, so he comforted him with gentle words and generous contributions, and the guest confided the truth, it turned out that he was Li Yuzhen, who was famous in the Purple Cloud Empire. Fortunately, he relied on his cultivation to be Shen Zhan, fled back to the store, instinctively saved, but he had to use twenty emperor yuan for a medicine to treat his injuries, but he lost his money bag when he started at night, and he knew that the store was a snob, and it was useless to tell him, so he had to wait for death, but he was saved by Lan Mei, and they formed friends with each other.
Lan Mei waited for him to recover from his injury, encouraged him not to show his edge, and killed him in vain, and funded some travel funds, and hurriedly parted for twenty years, at this time, he never imagined that he would send his son to send a letter to him.
Lan Mei was thinking that she might not be able to escape from Wang Skin's hands, but Li Chengfeng couldn't hold back the young man's anger because Wang Xue was stubborn and accused of being a thief, so she also replied sharply: "Junmen, I'm not from Blackwater City, how can I be considered an enemy party?" I think there must be some misunderstanding in this. ”
Wang Xuegang clenched his fists and slammed into the public case: "Good words ask you, you will never be recruited, come, pull these four thieves out of the tent, each of them will be whipped with 200 pythons first, and the army will no longer ask you, and tomorrow I will tie you to the pass and cut off the heads of your group of dogs, so as to calm people's hearts." "The military order is like a mountain, how can anyone dare to say a word, come over with eight squads, and put it on the outside.
Li Chengfeng stood up and said sharply: "Junmen, you are trying to coerce the good people!"
Wang Xuegang sneered and said: "Do you dare to rebel?" This sentence did not fall, and suddenly heard the top of the tent, with a snort, and a person fell from above, like an old man with gray hair, in a trance, he fell to the public case, and the wind was very strong, and the two lights next to the public case were all extinguished.
