The three of them entered the imperial city from the left gate of Chang'an, and went straight to the front after passing the end gate, and came to the square outside the noon gate.

Before he could get closer, he heard a loud "pop", and then a scream sounded, which was extremely terrible.

The three of them separated the crowd and squeezed to the front to take a look, and they all gasped, extremely frightened.

I saw that on the bluestone ground in front of the noon gate, Langzhong Wanxiao of the Ministry of Engineering was put down on a large piece of linen by the captain of the brocade clothes, took off his official robe, lifted his inner clothes and profane clothes, exposed his hips below the waist, and was inflicting the punishment of the court staff.

Standing in front of the two rows of brocade-clothed lieutenants was a tall and clumsy eunuch, who was looking coldly at the civil officials in front of him, his face was solemn and calm, and he was imposing, and behind him stood a group of young eunuchs in armor and holding rods.

Sun Yueling recognized this person as one of Wei Zhongxian's henchmen, Liu Dexi, the chief eunuch of internal exercise. It can be seen that Wei Zhongxian, in order to establish authority to foreign ministers and ensure that he does not go on a business trip this time, did not hesitate to send the head of the internal exercise to supervise the punishment.

At this time, most of the execution had passed, and Wan Liao's buttocks were already covered with blood, and there was no good piece of meat, which made people unbearable to look at directly. Wan Liao's hair was even more disheveled, the corners of his mouth were drooling, his face was distorted, and he seemed to have fainted.

"Hit, fight!" The corners of Liu Dexi's mouth moved, and he spit out this sentence, and the onlookers shouted again.

At present, he has already been beaten with sixty rods, and Wan Xian's body is thin and obviously out of support. The emperor's decree is to give the court a hundred strokes of the rod this time, and if he continues to fight like this, he will have to be killed on the spot.

"Whew...... Snap ......" Captain Jinyi changed into a group of fresh troops holding a cane, brandished a thick bamboo cane, and slammed it towards Wan Liao's hips.

Yang Lian really couldn't stand it anymore, so he stepped forward, pointed at Liu Dexi with a halberd, and shouted: "Don't stop yet, are you waiting for this to be a waste of human life?" ”

As soon as his words fell, many officials who had been watching for a long time and dared not speak out echoed their words, and for a time the crowd was surging and angry, and the spearhead was directed at Liu Dexi. Seeing this, the Jinyi guards who performed it were a little frightened, and they couldn't help but stop.

Liu Dexi sneered, took the Huang Aya edict from the hand of a little eunuch next to him, held his hands above his head, and shouted: "The holy purpose is this, whoever dares to act without permission will be guilty of the same crime as Wan Liao!" This time, he was ordered by Wei Zhongxian to scold Wan Liao in front of the Manchu officials, so as to deter Donglin. The more angry these officials were, the more he could achieve his goal, and turned his head to those brocade guards and shouted, "Keep fighting, beat me with my heart!" ”

Seeing the will of the Son of Heaven, those brocade guards did not dare to disobey, and hurriedly raised their rods and continued the execution.

Yang Lian's face turned red, and he said angrily: "This is clearly Wei Eunuch's edict, a big crime of bullying the king, and he should be punished by the Nine Clans!" ”

Liu De likes to be neat, raised his holy forehead with both hands in front of his chest, and said to Yang Lian: "Lord Yang, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense." This holy decree of yellow silk and purple silk was made by the current emperor himself. If you chew your tongue again, don't blame us for being polite! ”

Yang Lian snorted coldly, pointed at him and said, "Hugh has to pretend in front of this official, you are just a dog minion, dare to threaten me?" ”

Liu Dexi's eyes flashed with a hint of gloom, and he shouted: "Come on, Yang Lian's eyes are lawless, disrupt the execution, take him down for me, and be guilty of the same crime as Wan Xian." ”

"Who would dare to do it?" Yang Lian roared angrily, and the halberd pointed at the brocade guards who stepped forward to take people. It's a pity that those wolf-like captains simply ignored him and rushed up, intending to capture him on the spot.

Seeing that the situation was critical, Sun Yueling hurriedly stepped forward, stopped in front of Yang Lian with one hand, and shouted: "Don't do it, don't be rude to the courtiers!" ”

When those Jinyi lieutenants saw that he was blocking them, they were all stunned and hesitated. Sun Yueling's martial arts are famous in Beijing, and even the leaders of their northern Zhenfu can't do anything about it, and no one dares to rush forward anymore under their palpitations.

Liu Dexi saw him come out, strode forward, stood opposite him, looked him up and down a few times, and said coldly: "It turned out to be Master Sun." You must know that the rod blames Wan Liao, this is the emperor's will, Yang Lian not only disrupted the execution, but also despised the internal difference, this crime is not small, if the emperor knows, I'm afraid you can't afford it, what, you still plan to get involved? ”

Sun Yueling looked calm and said lightly: "Father-in-law Liu, Lord Yang is just anxious and impulsive. Father-in-law is elegant, please don't worry about him. The emperor is there, and the official should report in detail, and he will never embarrass his father-in-law! ”

These words, neither humble nor arrogant, gave Liu Dexi enough face, originally wanted him to take advantage of the situation to go downhill and turn the big thing into a small one, but unexpectedly, Liu Dexi didn't care, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and said: "If our family is going to deal with him today, what can you do with Lord Sun?" ”

In front of so many officials, Liu Dexi's words can be said to be without any affection, and he is extremely arrogant, which is unbearable for a normal person. Many Donglin officials next to them made loud noises, encouraging Sun Yueling and Liu Dexi to turn their faces on the spot - they had long been unaccustomed to Liu Dexi's arrogant approach, but they had been holding back this breath. As long as Sun Yueling took the lead in making trouble, they would definitely follow him, attack in groups, and beat these eunuchs and captains.

This kind of thing is not without precedent in the Ming Dynasty, during the orthodox dynasty, Ma Shun, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, who scolded the ministers, was beaten to death by many officials on the Jinluan Palace, and also killed two eunuchs who were fake and tigers. Now, the eunuchs have deceived people so far, which makes these long-suppressed officials angry, and they definitely don't mind repeating the great deeds of their ancestors.

The anger of the people has reached its peak, and it only takes someone to light a fire to ignite a raging flame.

Yang Lian had rolled up his sleeves at this time, tightened the hem of his official robe, and scolded Liu Dexi: "Eunuch, I don't know how thick the sky is, sooner or later I won't die well!" ”

These words were also ruthless, Liu Dexi finally changed color, pointed at the crowd and shouted: "What, do you want to rebel?" ”

"What kind of dog are you, you dare to yell at me!"

"Rootless rats, if they dare to do dirty things in the name of the Son of Heaven, they will definitely cut off their children and grandchildren, and they will be stinking for 10,000 years."

"At the feet of the Son of Heaven, eunuchs are in power, does the Ming Dynasty still have a royal law, and does it talk about the law?"

The angry officials began to ridicule each other, and did not hesitate to attack Liu Dexi in the most vicious language. Over there, someone had already rushed up and protected Wan Liao, who was being punished, to prevent Jinyiwei from continuing to torture.

The situation is tense and on the verge of eruption.

Sun Yueling looked at the angry officials around him, and then at Liu Dexi, who had an arrogant face, and struggled in his heart.

At present, Liu Dexi is desperate to insult Donglin and despise the courtiers, I am afraid that it was instigated by Wei Gelding and deliberately did it, wanting to arouse Donglin's anger and make more drastic actions under the raging anger.

The more extreme Donglin's behavior is, the more I am afraid that Wei Eunuch's heart will be defeated. If things really develop to the point where the foreign ministers and the eunuchs fight each other, it will completely anger the Emperor of the Apocalypse, who has been patient, and no one will be able to save Donglin at that time, and Donglin will usher in a complete annihilation.

At this time, you must not be rash.

Thinking of this truth, Sun Yueling strengthened his patience, raised his hand and said loudly: "Everyone, this is the imperial city, the sleeping palace of the Son of Heaven, as the emperor's ministers, I should follow the holy will, how can I violate it?" Since Gonggong Liu was imprisoned by the Holy Will, we should be courteous. After that, he turned his head to Yang Lian and said, "Lord Yang, please go down first, with me here, they can't embarrass you." ”

Yang Lian said angrily to Sun Yueling: "Why do you have to go, why should this official go, why are you afraid of eunuchs? When the officials next to him saw him showing weakness, they were not angry, and the noise was even worse, and some people pointed at him and scolded him angrily.

Sun Yueling motioned to two officials with a better relationship to drag Yang Lian down, stared at Liu Dexi fiercely and said, "Gonggong Liu, give the lower officials a thin face, and this matter will be stopped." Otherwise, if you are desperately losing your official position and abandoning your post, you will not be able to get out of this noon gate. ”

Liu Dexi looked up at the officials, his eyes flashed, he seemed to be smiling, and said to Sun Yueling: "Oh? Lord Sun is going to rely on his martial arts and do it to our family? ”

Sun Yueling said: "Don't dare, Xia Guan is just afraid that he will be as impulsive as Lord Yang and accidentally hurt his father-in-law." ”

Liu Dexi laughed, his voice was like the cry of a night owl, and he took a break for a while, and said: "Okay, good, Lord Sun is young and promising, our family admires it, this matter is over, this matter is stopped, haha......" After saying that, the dust in his hand was lifted and swept in front of Sun Yueling's eyes.

Suddenly, a cold wind hit his chest, Sun Yueling suddenly sensed, and was about to fight with his luck, but unexpectedly, this strong wind swirled in front of him, and disappeared without a trace, as if he had an illusion.

Sun Yueling was extremely surprised, and looked at Liu Dexi in surprise, who smiled and said, "Master Sun, our family has written down your words today, you can do it yourself." After speaking, he smiled at the rest of the eunuchs, "After the torture is over, I'll wait to go back to the palace to reply to the decree, I've been standing for a long time, and I'm tired enough......"

After speaking, he went with a group of people.

Sun Yueling looked at his back, and was shocked in his heart, just now Liu Dexi seemed to shake the dust in his hand at random, but in the eyes of a master like him, it was clearly a clever trick, and when the dust was waving, the strong wind was highly concentrated, if there was substance, what was even more frightening was that he had reached the realm of sending and receiving from the heart, and he took back this strength in an understatement, leaving no trace at all.

This person is clearly a superb master, and his martial arts have been perfected, at least not under Fang Yichen.

Thinking of this, Sun Yueling's heart was even more frightened, Wei Zhongxian actually had such a master, and he was also a eunuch hidden in the palace. The most unbelievable thing is that this eunuch has never had a good reputation in Beijing, and no one knows that he can do martial arts on weekdays.

It can be seen that there are still many strong martial arts hidden in the eunuch party.

This time against the eunuch party, it is indeed not allowed to be careless, Sun Yueling is even more vigilant, and his face shows an extremely dignified look.

"Wan Daren...... Wan Daren ......" Countless officials gathered around Wan Liao, who was dying, and their grief was inexplicable. Wan Liao suffered more than 80 sticks alive, and with his thin body, he didn't know if he could live.

The more than 80 sticks that were beaten on Wan Liao's body were also hitting the hearts of these officials, making them have to hang their heads high on weekdays and tear off their lofty and arrogant faces.

Sun Yueling looked at Wan Liao, he was already a piece of erosion from the waist down, black and purple, bloodstained, and miserable. This is still on the surface, judging from Sun Yueling's eyesight, Wan Liao's waist and kidneys are estimated to have suffered serious internal trauma, affecting the viscera, and I am afraid that there are not many days to live.

The officials found a stretcher and ordered someone to carry Wan Liao, who was full of scarlet, to leave the noon gate.

When they left the imperial city, everyone did not speak, and the atmosphere was very low. Sun Yueling also walked back, and his heart was also uncomfortable, and a group of people were like remnants of the army who had returned from defeat, all of them were depressed and listless.

After returning to the Yamen, Sun Yueling finally passed noon, Sun Yueling left the Yamen, and was just about to take the carriage back to the house to rest, but saw two young officials chasing after him from behind, and shouted to him: "Lord Sun, please stay." ”

He looked back and recognized these two people as backward officials in Donglin, one was Xu Yuqing in the official department, and the other was Xue Wenzhou in the household department.

"It turned out to be Gongshi and Daoying." Sun Yueling laughed and said, "The two of you are in such a hurry, why are you looking for me?" ”

Xu Yuqing arched his hand towards him and said with a smile: "Lord Sun is in a hurry to leave, and he doesn't make a cup of tea?" According to the habit of Ming officialdom, officials from the DPRK and China have a habit of visiting the door at the intersection of noon, but since Zhao Nanxing took office, this rule has been greatly changed, so the time when officials visit each other and chat has become after noon.

In the past, Sun Yueling either went to other yamen to take a turn, or made tea, waiting for others to come to the door, but today he was preoccupied, so he walked a step faster.

He likes Xu Yuqing more, maybe because the two have similar temperaments and are more compatible, so Xu Yuqing is not very restrained in front of him, and dares to talk and laugh with him. was about to speak, but Xue Wenzhou hurriedly said: "Lord Sun, why don't you take the lead in admonishing at noon today?" ”

Sun Yueling frowned slightly when he heard this, this Xue Wenzhou has always been upright, has a strong temperament, and he speaks straightforwardly, and he doesn't know how to maneuver. When he was in Renzhi County, Shandong, the yamen was open to the people day and night, and he was simply Hai Rui's second, and he smiled at the moment: "Two, the hour is not early, presumably you haven't eaten yet, why don't you take a car and drink slowly in my house?" Immediately, he said to Xue Wenzhou, "Brother Daoying, why are you in a hurry, wait for me to talk to you slowly, please." ”

After saying that, let the two get into the car.

Xu Yuqing and Xue Wenzhou glanced at each other and walked towards the carriage. Xu Yuqing smiled: "In this way, it will bother Lord Sun." ”

Sun Yueling said: "You and I colleagues, you don't have to be polite. The three of them boarded the car and set off towards the east. (To be continued.) Mobile phone users, please browse and read, a better reading experience.
