Chapter 278: Meng Xin's Decision (Part II)
Knowing that Meng Xin and the others had all been brought back, Gao Ming immediately set off to go to the barracks outside the city with Su Gan Chengji.
Although Gao Ming knew that Meng Xin was not targeting him in this incident, it was a fact that he was tripped and fell to the ground and suffered internal injuries, and this account naturally had to be calculated.
"Damn, this stinky girl is really lawless, she almost threw out all the of Lao Tzu, this time I caught her, if I don't let her see some blood, my name will be written upside down!"
With such thoughts, Gao Ming's face was full of ruthlessness along the way, and he was frightened to see Su Gan Chengji.
"It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really angry, alas, it seems that Meng Chao and they are more than lucky this time."
Seeing that Gao Ming's face was not very good, he didn't dare to say a word along the way, and it wasn't until Gao Ming took a step that he stepped forward to accompany him with a smile.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, please!"
"Hmm!"
Soon, Gao Ming followed Gang Chengji to the handsome tent in the middle of the barracks, and after Gao Ming entered, Gang Chengji saluted him again.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will come later, Weichen will go and bring them all up."
Hearing his words, Gao Ming immediately nodded.
"Well, let's go, but the others don't need to bring it, just bring Meng Chao's father and daughter over!"
"Yes!"
After receiving Gao Ming's instructions, Su Gan Chengji immediately asked people to bring Meng Chao's father and daughter, who were tied up with all kinds of flowers, to the camp tent.
When Gao Ming saw Meng Xin for the first time, he was also amazed by her appearance.
You must know that Datang is not as superb as the makeup skills of later generations, so the woman who can make Gao Ming amazing, except for Su Wan'er and Wu Mei in the palace, is the Meng Xin in front of him.
"Beautiful woman, why be a thief!"
Hearing Gao Ming's exclamation, Meng Xin hurriedly spoke.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, last time it was the little woman who was rude to His Royal Highness the Prince, this is all the fault of the little woman alone, and it has nothing to do with her father, I hope His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has released his father, please!"
As she spoke, she bowed her head towards Gao Ming.
As soon as Meng Xin's words fell, Meng Chao spoke.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, it is the criminal ministers and goddaughters who have no way to make His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suffer, and I hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will spare her this time for the sake of her young and ignorant, so the old man is willing to bear the responsibility."
After speaking, Meng Xin slammed his head on the ground, making a crisp sound of "bang".
looked at the father and daughter who were tied by ropes in front of them, and did not forget to help each other get rid of their crimes, and then suddenly turned their backs with their hands behind their backs, and turned around after a while.
"Meng Chao, you really have no way to teach your daughter, in order to take revenge on Li Yun, this woman actually kidnapped King Liang, and tripped over the prince's war horse with a tripping horse, causing me to fall and injure my internal organs, teaching such a lawless daughter, this prince beat you with thirty rods, do you accept it?"
In the Tang Dynasty, there are five criminal laws, such as flogging, rod, imprisonment, streaming, and death.
Flogging, that is, beating a criminal with a thorny wattle, is the lightest criminal law; And the rod, that is, beaten with a stick, is a secondary criminal law.
to be a slave; The exile refers to exile, and the Tang people pay attention to the relocation of their homeland, so they are exiled to remote areas, which is second only to the death penalty in the Tang Dynasty.
As for the death penalty, there are many methods, such as beheading, car splitting, waist beheading, hanging, etc., if it is an official of the fifth grade or above, you can also enjoy a decent death method such as taking poison and killing yourself.
At first, when he heard Gao Ming count Meng Xin's crimes, Meng Chao showed a face full of despair, because according to what Meng Xin did, it was not too much to cut the car in half, and his father, at least he was exiled, but when he heard Gao Ming say that he was only beaten with thirty rods, he was stunned.
"Thirty rods?"
Seeing that Meng Chao was stunned, Gao Ming immediately frowned.
"Meng Chao, let me ask you again, this prince beat you with thirty rods, do you accept it?"
Hearing Gao Ming's words, Meng Chao suddenly came back to his senses, and he immediately nodded his head like a chicken.
"Obey it! Thank you, His Royal Highness the Prince, for your kindness! ”
Meng Chao has also been an official for many years, and he is also clear about these criminal laws of the Tang Dynasty, in his opinion, since Gao Ming only fought him for thirty battles, then Meng Xin is at most a prison sentence, although he has been demoted to a slave, but at least he is still alive, which is better than being beheaded.
However, he understood, but it didn't mean that Meng Xin also understood, and when she heard Gao Ming say that she was going to beat her father with thirty rods, she was immediately unhappy.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, I did all these things alone, my father doesn't know anything, if you want to beat me, just beat me, let my father go!"
As soon as Meng Xin's words came out, Meng Chao immediately gasped.
"Shhh...... Xin'er Hugh is rude to His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is already an extrajudicial grace, and he has not thanked His Royal Highness the Prince! ”
"I don't!"
Looking at Meng Chao's frightened look, Meng Xin shook his head, and then turned his head to meet Gao Ming's eyes without showing weakness.
"My father also said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a wise person, but I didn't expect to see it today, only to find out that these are rumors, you are clearly a confused person, hum!"
Hearing Meng Xin's words, including Meng Chao, the people present couldn't help but be shocked.
"Shut up!"
"Presumptuous!"
"Hugh has to be rude to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Looking at the indignant crowd, Gao Ming suddenly stretched out his palm towards them, signaling them not to speak, and after everyone was quiet, Gao Ming immediately laughed.
"Humph! How dare you do it to me? Tell you, I'll eat this set! ”
As he spoke, Gao Ming shouted to the people below.
"It seems that this little girl can't be taught a lesson today, come on, find me a thorn, I want to bring thorns!"
"Yes!"
Soon, a hundred horsemen came over with a thorny thorn, and in order to make it easier for Gao Ming to grasp, he also carefully wrapped a cloth around one end of the thorn.
After Gao Ming took the thorn strip, he grinned at Meng Xin.
"Hey, hey, hey...... Little girl, are you scared? Tell you, it's too late to beg for mercy! ”
Hearing Gao Ming's words, Meng Xin suddenly raised his chin, and then let out a cold snort from his nose.
"Humph!"
After humming, he glanced at Gao Ming provocatively, and in the face of Meng Xin's provocation, Gao Ming was immediately angry.
"Hey, you dead girl, I see that you don't go to the house for three days, and you don't feel uncomfortable for five days, and you won't give you some color today, you don't know how many eyes Ma Wang Ye has!"
As he spoke, Gao Ming immediately waved his hand towards Su Gan Chengji and the others.
"You're all going to get me out!"
"Yes!"
When everyone had gone out, Gao Ming glanced at Huzi who was standing still, and then glanced at him.
"You also go out, don't you think I can't handle a little girl?"
Hearing Gao Ming's words, Huzi glanced at Meng Xin, who was tied up by five flowers, and then nodded and went out.
After Huzi went out, Gao Ming walked towards Meng Xin with a cruel smile.
"Hey, hey, hey...... You're a girl, don't you have to force your master to make a big move? Okay, then today I'll let you see my unique skill - lying on my pants and spanking ass! ”
Gao Ming said as he pressed Meng Xin, and then reached out to pick up her pants, seeing this scene, Meng Xin immediately screamed.
"Ah...... What are you doing? Don't take off my pants, you're shameless, woo woo woo ......"
When the people standing outside the tent heard the sound inside, they immediately showed a strange expression.
At this time, Gao Ming's voice also came out.
"Your name? Scream louder! I'm telling you, no one will come to save you even if you cut your throat, and the more you call me, the more excited you become, wahahaha......"
After hearing Gao Ming's voice, the faces of everyone standing at the door became even more exciting, and even Meng Chao, who was tied up by five flowers, had a complicated face.
At this time, a hundred cavalry guards standing beside Gang Chengji suddenly spoke.
"My lord, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just said that he would beat him with thirty rods, but can he still beat him?"
Hearing his words, Su Gan Chengji immediately slapped him.
"Spank! I don't have any eyes at all, why don't you loosen the ties for Lord Meng? ”
"Huh?"
Looking at this stunned hundred cavalry guards, Su Gan Chengji suddenly became impatient, pushed him away as soon as he stretched out his hand, and then personally stepped forward to help Meng Chao loosen his ties, and after he was done, he arched his hand towards Meng Chao with a smile.
"Lord Meng, the lower officials were also ordered to act at the beginning, if there is anything offended, I hope that Lord Meng Haihan!"
Meng Chao is also an old oilman in the officialdom, of course he knows why Su Gan Chengji's attitude has changed so much, and he immediately returned the salute.
"Lord Sugan's responsibility, of course Meng will not blame you, and Meng will thank you for your accommodation on the road, thank you!"
Seeing that Meng Chao knew current affairs so well, Su Gan Chengji immediately laughed.
"Haha, Master Meng, don't say that, you are both Tang Dynasty generals, it is natural to provide a little convenience, and the younger brother will need you to take care of the eldest brother in the future!"
In the blink of an eye, Su Gan Chengji's self-proclaimed name changed from "lower official" to "little brother", this change caught Meng Chao a little off guard, and he didn't know why, he suddenly expected Gao Ming to have something happen to his daughter in the tent.
And Gao Ming didn't know what was happening outside the tent, and at this time he was trying to "confront" Meng Xin.
Although Meng Xin's hands were tied, after all, he was a person who often practiced martial arts, and Gao Ming worked hard for a long time but did not succeed, but was accidentally knocked to the ground by Meng Xin.
Looking at Gao Ming, who was bumped into by himself, a trace of ridicule suddenly flashed on Meng Xin's face.
"Hmph, even if this girl is tied with her hands, you can't help me, and you still want to beat this girl, dreaming!"
Hearing Meng Xin's words, Gao Ming immediately became angry.
"Hmph, I just let you do it, don't say that you are tied with your hands, even if you are not tied, Xiao Ye and I can knock you down in minutes."
As soon as Gao Ming's words fell, Meng Xin smiled.
"Then you have the ability to untie my rope!"
"You think I wouldn't dare?"
"You just don't dare!"
"I don't dare? Oh, I'm so grumpy, don't move, I'll untie it for you! ”
Gao Ming felt that with his physique of insisting on doing radio gymnastics every day, it should not be a problem to subdue Meng Xin, but what made him think was that he had just untied the rope on Meng Xin's body, and he was immediately subdued by Meng Xin.
Soon, the crowd outside the tent heard a scream coming from inside.
"Ah...... What do you want? Don't take off my pants, you face stink, stinky cow, woo woo woo ......"
As soon as Gao Ming's words fell, Meng Xin's voice also came out.
"Your name? You'd better scream louder! I'm telling you, no one will save you even if you cut your throat, and the more you call this girl, the more excited you become, wahahaha......"
Everyone: "......"
