Chapter Twenty-Six: Before and After Saddle

Buddhism was only introduced into the Han Dynasty from Tianzhu in recent years, not to mention that it has the nightmarish opponent of the hundred schools of thought, in terms of the living conditions of the people at that time, everyone could not even eat enough, who would be willing to take refuge in my Buddha, chant scriptures every day, and purify all sentient beings.

Although it is said that there are monks in all states and counties, their lives are very difficult, not only the clothes on their bodies are all patched, but even the temples are tattered and leaking everywhere.

"Big brother, Lord Zhai has sent people to urge me several times, let's hurry down the mountain."

"What kind of system is it that is panicked." Liu Xiu stood up, folded his hands and bowed to the mage before speaking: "Thank you Master for your hospitality in the past few days, there are still some things to deal with in the world, there is always money here, please add more sesame oil to my Buddha." ”

"Thank you, donor!" The Venerable Master was very happy to receive such a large donation, and he did not forget to persuade Liu Xiu to become a believer in addition to his gratitude. If this was changed to the past, when someone called himself to believe in Buddhism, Liu Xiu would definitely scold him with blood, but now Liu Xiu needs Buddhist scriptures to calm his mind, so he doesn't care so much.

"I don't want to be ordained, I just want the Master to listen to me as a layman when I am troubled." Liu Xiu took Pang Meng down the mountain, and as soon as he rushed back to the manor, he got a shocking news, that is, Wang Sunqing had been arrested.

In the manor, Wang Sunqing fell in a pool of blood and his legs were broken.

"I'm going to requisition you, it's to give you face, you still dare to run, I really don't know whether to live or die."

"Phew, you traitor can't die well, it won't be long before the Chang'an Imperial City will send troops to exterminate you."

"Really?" As soon as Zhai Yi's words fell, several people appeared behind him, seeing these familiar faces, not only Wang Sunqing was dumbfounded, but even Liu Xiu was startled, Zhai Yi, the old fox, actually completed such a big deployment in just a few days!

"Can you die now?" Showing his strength, Zhai Yi ordered Wang Sunqing to be pulled down and cut down, and by the way, even his wife was cut down.

"If you don't sin your family, if you want to kill me, don't touch my mother." The more Wang Sunqing struggled and shouted, the happier Zhai Yi became, and even had a whim, ordering that Wang Sunqing's mother not be cut off, but with five punishments.

Hearing that Zhai Yi was going to punish his old lady with five punishments, Wang Sunqing was furious and scolded: "Traitor, livestock." If you have the ability, you can come to me, don't embarrass the old man. ”

Gu Wu Punishment is an extremely cruel punishment handed down from the Qin Dynasty and used both corporal punishment and death penalty. The application process is first, slashing, then cutting off the left and right toes, then flogging and killing, then the head of the owl, and finally the bones and flesh in the city. If this phrase were to be translated into the vernacular, it would mean to tattoo a person's face, cut off the nose, then cut off the left and right toes, then beat a person to death with a rattan or wattle, then behead and display the head, and finally mash the bones and sell the flesh for consumption in the market.

When he first knew about this kind of punishment, Liu Xiu couldn't help but think in his heart, who came up with this cruel and perverted punishment, I just hope that your ancestral grave will be smoking, don't let the master know, otherwise even if you work hard, you will dig up the bones of your eighteenth generation and feed them to the dogs.

Wang Sunqing's wife was escorted up, and she also knew that Zhai Yi was going to punish herself five times, and her whole face turned pale with fright.

"Mother, mother." Wang Sunqing endured his pain and shouted loudly, his wife saw her son lying in a pool of blood, she was very distressed, she struggled to push away the soldiers who held her hostage, threw herself in front of her son and cried and shouted at Zhai Yi: "My lord, if you have five punishments, you will have five punishments, it is not a pity for the old man to die, please let my son go." ”

"It's a good mother-son relationship, but I don't want to eat this, pull this old woman aside and execute her immediately." Zhai Yi gave the order, and the soldier picked up the fine needles and potions prepared on the side and began to tattoo the words on Wang Sunqing's old lady's face.

Simple and rude, no anesthetic, with the passage of blood, the old woman screamed in pain.

The old lady was tortured as a son but could not do anything, Wang Sunqing from the beginning of the scolding to the last kowtow and pray, not only did not play any role, but ushered in a burst of ridicule.

After the tattoo was done, the next thing was to cut off the nose with a knife, Wang Sunqing was so anxious that he shouted to stop his hand and it still had no effect, and with the scream, the old woman's nose was cut off.

The old lady's face was covered with blood, Wang Sunqing was crazy, he kept cursing Zhai Yi, but he couldn't stop them from torturing the old lady again.

"Stop!" Liu Xiu spoke, and the thing in front of him touched the thing he didn't want to think about in his heart, that is, when his uncle Liu Chong had an accident, he was so powerless.

Liu Xiu drove the executioner away, strode in front of the old woman outside, and Pang Meng automatically and consciously ran forward to drag Wang Sunqing from the pool of blood to his wife.

"Uncle, when I offered you the Tiger Talisman, you promised to grant me a wish. I want to use this wish now in exchange for the safety of their mother and child, I wonder if it is possible? ”

"Yes, but do you think it's worth it? If this untouchable rebels in the future, you will be implicated. Although Zhai Yi wanted to kill Wang Sun Qing, Liu Xiu took his wish to come out to protect people, so he could only remind him from the side. He always believed that Wang Sunqing was the root of the curse and not worth saving.

"If Wang Sunqing rebels in the future, although my uncle will offend me, I also believe that Wang Sunqing is a smart person, and after this incident, he should know what to do and what not to do!"

"Am I right?" The last rhetorical question was thrown to Wang Sunqing, Wang Sunqing is a smart man, he immediately stated that he would be filial to Liu Xiu before and after the saddle in this life, and if he violated the five thunders, he would never be born.

"Wang Sunqing is loyal to me, and I am loyal to my uncle. Uncle Wen is here to congratulate his uncle on winning another general. ”

Zhai Yi knew that this was Liu Xiu's step down, and at the same time, because of this small contradiction, he officially paid attention to this teenager for the first time who would still need a few years to be crowned.

When the matter was over, Pang Meng arranged for Pao Ze to take Wang Sunqing's mother and son to heal, and he himself followed Liu Xiu into the hall.

For hundreds of years in the Han Dynasty, the people of the Liu clan can be said to have taken root everywhere, or it can be said that only the Liu clan dared to participate in the rebellion, because of the four big words.

The people in the hall are Liu Yu, the governor of Dongjun, Liu Xin, the Marquis of Yanxiang, Liu Huang, the Marquis of Wufeng, Liu Kuang, the king of Dongping, Su Long, the teacher of the king of Dongping, and the lieutenant Gao Dan, Liu Xin and Liu Huang of these five are two brothers, and Liu Kuang is Liu Xin's son, and finally Su Long and Gao Dan are Liu Kuang's henchmen.

In the face of such a new force, Zhai Yi was not worried that he would be threatened, because he also had Liu Yu, Liu Xiu, and Chen Feng under his name, and the soldiers and horses were far superior to the other party.

Liu Xiu was quite looking forward to the brainstorming of everyone's first meeting at first, after all, everyone's words and opinions should be able to achieve miraculous results, but in the end, the disappointment was just to comfort his injured heart.

The method of this group of bastards is simple and rude, that is, to cut the twenty county towns of Dongjun into several pieces, and everyone leads their soldiers and horses to lurk, and only when the appointed time comes, they will unify their troops and kill people to seize the city.
