Chapter 162: Flogging
Liu Xingren's guards did not leave, and they all stayed in place to guard the two Jurchens. The surrounding people also surrounded this place with three layers inside and three layers outside, and they all wanted to know if the Liu family could help the Jurchens who harmed the people.
Although the two Jurchens were tied, they still scolded in Manchu. Although the onlookers were relieved, they also sweated for Liu Xingren.
It was only an hour or so that a group of cavalry came from afar. These people were all dressed in iron armor, and at first glance they were the elite soldiers of the Jurchens.
When they came to the scene, they cordoned off the whole street, and then all the people panicked. What are the Jurchens doing here? Are they going to slaughter the whole street to vent their anger?
The two captured Jurchens were immediately excited, and they were shouting and screaming. But those armor soldiers seemed to treat them as air, and had no intention of going to rescue them at all.
The strange behavior of the Jurchens made everyone wonder, what were they going to do?
Soon another group of white-armored soldiers approached, escorting a man in yellow cotton armor.
But Liu Xingzuo pulled his younger brother Liu Xingren to follow behind, and at this moment, Liu Xingren's face no longer had the pride he had when he left.
The whole person seemed to have been drained of his soul, and he followed behind the eldest brother in a daze. Behind them, there were also groups of Jurchen armor soldiers, these people looked at the Han people with cold expressions, and looked at the Han people with unkind eyes, so frightened that the people did not dare to come out.
The man in the yellow cotton armor was about thirty years old, and he came to the two Jurchens and did not speak, but snorted coldly.
Suddenly, the two Jurchens hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, begging for mercy loudly in Manchu. And the man just glanced back at Liu Xingzuo, and Liu Xingzuo immediately understood.
He came up to a dozen guards and said, "Brothers! It's me Liu Xingzuo, I'm sorry everyone, everyone's family is my little self, Liu Xingzuo raised it. As long as there is my Liu family for one day, I will ensure that your family is prosperous and rich! ”
After speaking, Liu Xingzuo bowed deeply to more than a dozen guards, and the dozen or so guards looked at each other with a wry smile. They knew that this would be the result, and one of the leaders said, "I hope that adults will treat me and my family well!" After speaking, he drew the knife in his hand and pulled it his neck. Blood spurted out, and the man gradually fell.
Except for one of the younger guards, everyone else committed suicide on the spot. The young guard said in a trembling voice, "My lord! The small ones can't be started, you can take the small ones! ”
Liu Xingzuo took the guard's knife and just raised the knife with trembling hands. It was interrupted by the sound of a bowstring, a sharp arrow "Whoosh!" Shot into the young guard's eye socket.
The force of the arrow was so great that it pierced through the guard's skull, revealing the tip of the arrow at the back of the head. Liu Xingzuo was stunned for a moment, and then a look of anger appeared on his face.
He turned his back to the group and took a few deep breaths before turning around. Seeing the yellow-armored young man expressionlessly handing over the bow in his hand to Geshiha behind him, Liu Xingren hurriedly changed into a respectful expression and said, "Lord Belle! The minions have already executed the guards who hurt the bannermen, and ask Lord Belle to punish the minions for the crime of lax discipline! ”
But Lord Belle said: "For the generals to have the decisiveness to make decisions on the spot, how can you be such a mother-in-law and mother-in-law to achieve great things!" ”
"What Lord Belle taught is that the slave Liu Xingzuo has been taught." Liu Xingzuo hurriedly knelt down and saluted.
"Liu Xingzuo is not strict in discipline and deserves to be punished with ten lashes. Liu Xingren injured and imprisoned the flag man without authorization, and should be punished with 20 lashes. Execute it now! As soon as Huangjia Baylor finished speaking, Liu Xingzuo said loudly: "Slow! ”
"Huh?" As soon as he finished giving the order, he was interrupted. A look of displeasure appeared on Huang Taiji's face, and he looked at Liu Xingzuo coldly and said, "Do you still have any objections?" There was a chill in his voice, and everyone around him shivered a little.
Liu Xingzuo hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Lord Belle! The slave's younger brother made mistakes because the slave was not strictly disciplined, and the slave's younger brother was weak and sickly, and the slave was willing to bear the twenty whips for his younger brother, and he hoped that Lord Baylor would grant permission! After speaking, Liu Xingzuo kowtowed continuously.
Liu Xingren, who was tied up with flowers on the side, finally had a hint of brilliance in his eyes when he heard his eldest brother's words. He broke free and pulled his armor soldier to Huang Taiji, knelt down in front of him, and said, "One person does things and one person is responsible, and ask Lord Belle to punish the minions!" ”
The anger on Huang Taiji's face couldn't disappear, and he looked at the two brothers in front of him with interest.
After a while, he said, "Liu Xingzuo! Huang Ama took a fancy to you, so he handed over the entire southern Liaoning to you to guard. But under your rule, there is a place like Eternal Life Island, and Huang Ama is disappointed in you. ”
Hearing Huang Taiji's words, Liu Xingzuo's whole body was shocked, and he kowtowed again and again: "The slave is guilty!" The minion is guilty! ”
"But! It is still profitable for you to do things, and with the kind words of a few Baylors, you can continue to stay in Fuzhou. Today's deeds will be spared by your brother in the merits of the past, and if there is a next time, you will not be forgiven! Huang Taiji said.
Then he changed his words and said, "But the whip cannot be saved, and if you are willing to be punished in his place, Ben Baylor will fulfill you." Someone came to beat Liu Xingzuo with thirty lashes! ”
The Jurchen armor soldiers ignored Liu Xingren's obstruction at all, and went up and stripped Liu Xingzuo's shirt and began the execution.
These whips are specially made, steel wires woven from raw cowhide. It was a blood stain on the person, and even though Liu Xingzuo was as strong as an ox after thirty lashes, he was already dying.
Letting the Liu brothers aside, Huang Taiji came to the two Jurchens and said in a loud voice: "Ben Beile has said many times that it is not allowed to harass the people, and those who violate the order will be beheaded. Not only did you not listen, but you also ran to the family members of the Han Army Banner to hurt and rob people. Is it really bad to be Ben Baylor's knife? ”
The two Jurchens were frightened, and the fact that no one had released them until now was a danger signal. Hearing Huang Taiji's words again, they kowtowed like pounding garlic and begged for mercy loudly.
Huang Taiji was not moved at all, and with a wave of his hand, two armored soldiers stepped forward. The sword flashed, and the heads of the two Jurchens fell to the ground.
Huang Taiji said loudly to the people around him: "You are all my people of Dajin, and Ben Beile treats you all equally. If anyone harasses you in the future, go to Benbeylor's dwelling and complain, and Benbel will definitely call the shots for you! ”
When the people around saw that the evil head Jurchen was really beheaded for public display, they knelt down and praised Huang Taiji's sage. Some people were still crying with excitement, they really didn't ask for much, only the word stability.
Huang Taiji walked up to the girl whose parents had been killed and said, "You will follow Ben Baylor in the future!" Although you can't be rich and expensive, you can still have no worries about food and clothing! ”
"Slave Huang Cuiyi has seen Lord Belle!" The girl hurriedly kowtowed to Huang Taiji.
