As soon as this person said the three words of General Xie, his companion immediately reminded him, "Pay attention in the future, don't mention that person again, your majesty can't hear these three words." ”

The man looked around vigilantly, and was relieved to see that no one had noticed what he had just said. A few people walked hand in hand to a hidden corner before they began to whisper again.

"At the beginning, the general accompanied His Majesty to his birth and death, and only let His Majesty sit on the dragon chair after nine deaths, but I didn't expect the cunning rabbit to die, and the lackeys cooked, thinking about it, I really feel worthless for the general."

I don't know if I feel empathy, thinking of my own slim future, the person who said this actually picked up his sleeve and wiped his tears.

Several other people recalled that since the king of Chu ascended the throne, he began to eradicate dissidents on a large scale, and as long as there were people who opposed him, they would be found by him.

If the dismissal is light, at least one life will be left, and if it is serious, even the whole family, old and young, will not escape death.

A few people who discussed it didn't expect that a catastrophe was coming, and the next day, when the court was over, the king of Chu singled out a few of them.

They still didn't know why, they just knelt in the middle in fear, and the King of Chu looked at them with a smile, "Aren't you quite able to say it in private, and you dare to arrange me, why, when you get in front of me, you don't even dare to let out a fart?!" ”

As soon as these words came out, they immediately understood, what they said yesterday was actually known by the King of Chu, but several of them said it in private, how did the King of Chu know? I had long heard that the King of Chu had placed secret guards around each of them, and now it seems that this is indeed the case.

But they didn't have time to think about what was going on, so the instinct to survive immediately made them kneel, and cried and begged for mercy while pumping their mouths, "Your Majesty, Weichen drank a few glasses of wine, and then began to talk nonsense, please let your Majesty let us go this time." ”

King Chu's face was full of anger, "I see that you are all drunk and spit out the truth, right?!" Since you appreciate Xie Yutang so much, why don't I send you to him. ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen is loyal, and he will never dare to have any intention of rebellion."

Several people hurriedly showed their loyalty to the king of Chu, but the king of Chu did not listen to them at all, and even directly asked someone to pull out their tongues, and then split the five horses.

In the end, he seemed to feel that the punishment was not enough, and even tied up their families and punished them together. At the time of the execution, the king of Chu also specially called all the ministers over and forced them to watch in front of the palace.

The sound of pain was accompanied by bloody stumps and severed arms, and it looked like Shura hell. Some of the timid ones couldn't stand it on the spot and fainted in fright, and some began to throw up.

Immediately, a little eunuch came over with cold water, splashed the fainted person awake, and forced them to watch the entire execution process.

The King of Chu sat on a chair with a thick book in his hand, "A few days ago, someone presented me with a torture book, I think it's quite interesting, there are still such books in the world, there are quite a lot of criminal laws on it, there are a total of one hundred and eight kinds. ”

He picked a few things and asked the eunuch to read them out loud on the spot, listening to those gruesome punishments, and the ministers only felt that their scalps were numb.

When the king of Chu saw their trembling appearance, he felt very satisfied in his heart, and only by making them afraid did he not dare to betray him. But what he doesn't know is that the more he is like this, the less popular he becomes.

After this experience, the king of Chu also specially set up a supervision court to supervise hundreds of officials. The original intention of the establishment of the Supervision Yuan was to supervise hundreds of officials and the people, and once anyone who was found to have a different intention to escape, he would be immediately killed without reporting.

However, the power of the procuratorate is too great, and the people who control the procuratorate are not so impartial and selfless, and they privately loot the people's fat and ointment, and also extort officials.

If they don't give them money, they will be arrested and sent to the prison in the name of smuggling, and the people can only pay money to save their lives in order to survive.

In the Supervision Yuan, there are even people who use their power to declare personal vendettas. And the persecuted people can't find a chance to sue for grievances, and this series of operations has chilled many people's hearts.

Although I know that the fate of running away is very serious, but I live in dire straits every day, and it is better to run out and fight, so more and more people are running away.

The whole country fell into chaos, and at first it was just some ordinary people who fled, and then even some big families began to take refuge in Xie Yutang.

This made the king of Chu very angry, and the ordinary people rebelled, but they only increased the number of people, a group of rabble, and there was nothing to be afraid of. But the family is different, every family can last for thousands of years, and they all have a huge heritage, and even he doesn't dare to offend easily.

Once they take refuge, they take not only people, but also money and all kinds of goods.

There are some powerful families who have money in their hands, and they simply learn from Xie Yutang to rebel, and the Dongxuan Kingdom has become fragmented in an instant from the original behemoth.

King Chu didn't expect that the situation would develop to this point, and he couldn't help but be scared in his heart. He had no choice but to abolish the original Supervisory Yuan, but he was still unable to restore the situation.

As more and more people came to take refuge, the Nine Princes looked at it and was overjoyed.

Although the distance between the people and the emperor is very far, a series of orders from the emperor are directly related to the lives of the people, so when the superior deviates too much, the people will naturally go to find the master.

The Ninth Prince once specially asked those who dragged their families and followed him, "Aren't you tired like this?" And if you stay at home well, why should you come out and suffer with this king? ”

The other party replied without thinking, "I can't stay at home anymore, you are the wisest prince, and the grass people are willing to follow the prince." ”

These words made the Nine Princes' hearts surge, but then they became heavy, if it wasn't for the King of Chu pushing too much, how could these people be willing to leave their hometowns?

came back and talked to Xie Yutang about this issue, but Xie Yutang said calmly, "The king of Chu is to blame, and the people also want to live." ”

The Nine Princes were silent, why did King Chu just not understand the question that everyone could understand?

Their pace has slowed down a bit lately, because Ji Wan really can't keep up.

She had a fever again and again on the road, because she was brutally abused by the King of Chu in prison, there was hardly a complete piece of skin on her body, and a whole piece of skin on her back was about to be torn off.

Her appearance, if she is recuperating at home, it will take a while to recover, not to mention, on the way to escape, she can't eat or sleep well, the Nine Princes and Xie Yutang are already trying their best to deal with her, but the situation is still getting worse and worse.

At this moment, Ji Wan fell asleep in bed. Because of her back injury, she couldn't sleep on her back, she could only lie on her stomach, this awkward position made her sleep unsteadily, and her eyebrows were tightly wrinkled together.

Xie Yutang was extremely distressed, and stretched out his hand to unfold it for her, but Chi Wan woke up in a daze, her eyes just returned to Qingming, so she immediately turned over and sat up, and said subconsciously in her mouth, "Shouldn't we go?" The people of the king of Chu are coming after ......"

Maybe the amplitude of the movement was too large, and it actually involved the wound on her back for a while, Chi Wan suddenly gasped in pain, her eyes were dark, and she went straight to the bed. The expected pain did not come, and a pair of strong arms wrapped around her.

"Wanwan, don't worry, it's okay, the king of Chu didn't come, we are still safe."

Ji Wan leaned into his arms and breathed a sigh of relief, "Really? That's good. ”

Xie Yutang looked at her like this, and he couldn't help her suffer. He carefully put Chi Wan on the bed, trembling his hand and said, "I'll take a look at the wound." ”

Chi Wan moved her body a little awkwardly, "Don't look at it, it must be ugly." ”

The wounds on her face have healed, but the wounds on her body are repeated, although Xie Yutang said that he does not dislike her, but a girl's family always wants to show her beloved the best side of herself.

Xie Yutang sighed imperceptibly, holding Chi Wan's cheeks with both hands, and solemnly looked at the other party, "You're not ugly, you're not ugly." ”

Chi Wan's ears were a little red, and she tilted her head back in a panic, although she couldn't see her back, but at that time, the king of Chu ordered someone to use a red-hot iron block to burn it directly, and even she herself could smell the burning smell, and after so many days of tossing, the wound has not been good, but has been repeatedly inflamed, it is conceivable that it will not be easy to see where it goes.

"Don't look at it." Ji Wan pursed her lips and looked away embarrassedly.

Xie Yutang made a joke, "I've watched Wanwan everywhere, why is it hypocritical now?" ”

Hearing this, Chi Wan was suddenly ashamed and annoyed, and glared at Xie Yutang fiercely, this person, hasn't he always been the most serious, when did he become so shameless and skinless?

While laughing, Xie Yutang's fingers had already touched the edge of his clothes, but he didn't flip it up directly, but looked at Chi Wan inquiringly. If Ji Wan disagrees, even if he wants to see it and is worried, he will respect her meaning.

Ji Wan couldn't resist such a look, nodded randomly, and then buried her head in the quilt, out of sight.

The clothes were lifted up, revealing a scarred back, Xie Yutang clenched his fists all of a sudden, Chi Wan's skin was white, and there was almost no scar on her body.

The hatred for King Chu in his heart suddenly went up to a new level.

Chi Wan was keenly aware of the change in Xie Yutang's mood, and thought that he was frightened by himself, so he twisted his body from the pillow uneasily, looked at Xie Yutang worriedly, and whispered, "Is it really scary?" Then don't look at it. ”
