Chapter 65: The Rod

When Emperor Hongzhi was teaching Zhu Houzhao the way to control his ministers, Zhong Yu and Liu Jin had already been taken outside the noon gate to be tortured. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

When Zhong Yu and the five people were mentioned outside the noon gate by the group of Han generals, they saw that there were already twenty people standing outside the noon gate holding chestnut sticks and preparing to execute the Jinyi captain.

The chief eunuch of the celebrant read out the will, checked the identities of Zhong Yu's five people, and then waved his hand and motioned for the twenty brocade captains to be executed.

Immediately, Zhong Yu's five people were pressed to the ground by the group of brocade-clothed captains, and their coats were ripped off one by one, each of them was wrapped tightly in a linen cloth and couldn't move, and their feet were also tied with ropes.

The leader of this group of brocade-clothed captains was a brocade-clothed guard, and when he saw that Zhong Yu was tied up and stopped, he turned around and asked the celebrant and eunuch for instructions on execution.

Zhong Yu lay there and raised his head and looked at the eunuch who was the celebrant of ceremonies, trying to see if his toes were on the outside or inside.

On the way to the front of the noon gate, Gu Dayong told Zhong Yu: If the tips of the eunuch's boots are stretched outwards and become a figure, the prisoner may still be fine. But if the tip of the eunuch's boot is closed inward, and it becomes an inner figure, it is "beating with heart", and he wants to die or live. But Zhong Yu looked at the boots of the eunuch who was the celebrant eunuch, but he couldn't help but be stunned, it turned out that the eunuch was standing in a daze, neither the inner eight characters nor the outer eight characters, but the two boots were parallel. Zhong Yu turned his eyes to look at Gu Da and a few of them, only to see that a few people were also staring at each other, these people all know the rules of beating people in the palace, so today I see that this prison eunuch does not follow the routine, it is a little inexplicable, I don't know why.

Zhong Yu saw that the eunuch who was the celebrant heard the request of the Jinyi Wei Baihu, and immediately waved his hand to signal the Jinyi Wei Baihu to start the execution.

The brocade-clothed guard turned to the twenty brocade-clothed captains and shouted, "Execution!" ”

At the moment when the eyes of the brocade guards and Zhong Yu met, they suddenly squeezed their eyes at Zhong Yu, and nodded slightly at Zhong Yu quietly. When Zhong Yu saw it, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, it seems that this Jinyi Wei Baihu is afraid that he knows that he is also their Jinyi Guard's person, and this court staff should not beat himself to death!

With a loud shout from the brocade-clothed guard, the five brocade-clothed captains walked behind Zhong Yu and the five of them with chestnut sticks in their hands, raised the wooden sticks high, shouted, and pulled them down.

When the chestnut stick was pulled down, it was quite terrifying, but when the stick was pumped on the buttocks, Zhong Yu only felt spicy, but there was not much pain. Zhong Yu couldn't help but rejoice, it seems that this brocade guard must know his identity, and he is afraid that he secretly instructed those Jinyi lieutenants who were executed to release the water.

Zhong Yu's later generations heard that when the masters of Jinyiwei's execution practiced the court staff, they all put a piece of white paper on a green brick, and when they practiced this cane, the green brick was shattered and the white paper was not broken, which was considered to be qualified. It can be seen that the level of these executed captains in brocade clothes is very high. If these lieutenants in brocade clothes deliberately want to kill people, then looking at a cane that has not been forced, they can beat the prisoner with broken bones and tendons, but the epidermis is not damaged; If you deliberately release water, you can go down with a cane, which looks like it is mighty, but in fact, it only makes people look at the skin and flesh on the surface, but the inside is not damaged, and it will be raised for a few days.

Just when Zhong Yu was secretly rejoicing, he suddenly heard a few miserable howls of stone cracks and landslides beside him, and the screams were really tears for those who heard them and sad for those who saw them. Zhong Yu was startled, turned his head to look at Liu Jin and them, and saw that they were grinning one by one, twisting their faces, and screaming worse than one by one as if they were killing pigs.

Zhong Yu saw that they were screaming miserably, and it was inappropriate for him not to call him, but don't let people see that the captain in brocade clothes who beat him is releasing water! At that moment, Zhong Yu also pulled his throat and screamed hoarsely.

Each of the five lieutenants in brocade clothes hit five sticks, and then retreated and stood still. The brocade guard asked the celebrant and the eunuch for instructions on whether to be sentenced in rotation.

The celebrant and eunuch nodded slightly, and the brocade-clothed guard understood it, and immediately turned around and shouted majestically: "Round execution!" ”

At that moment, five more lieutenants in brocade clothes stepped forward to execute, and the sound of "pop, pop, snap ......" of the chestnut stick and the butt sounded again.

Zhong Yu heard Liu Jin and Gu Dayong next to him shouting even more miserably, Gu Dayong, who was next to him on the left, had already been beaten to grab the ground with his head at this time, and screamed with a stick, and his body tightly wrapped in linen kept writhing and twitching, like a maggot, and his face was full of tears. Zhong Yu couldn't help but be shocked: Fortunately, these Jinyi lieutenants released water on themselves, otherwise, he would be as miserable as them!

The four rounds of court canes came down, and the twenty canes were finished, and the four lieutenants each abandoned the chestnut sticks in their hands for execution, and the four of them served one, and each lifted the corner of the wrapped linen cloth tied to Zhong Yu and them, and raised it with a shout, and the four of them exerted their strength together, screamed, and swung the person high, and fell to the ground with a "tom".

This fell so that Zhong Yu's eyes were black, and he almost lost his breath, he endured the severe pain, lay on the ground and couldn't breathe for a long time, and it took a long time to sizzle and gasp for air conditioning and wake up. I only heard the sound of ** on the left and right, and peeked at it, Liu Jin and the others were already pale and bloodless, and their white clothes were blood-red, and they were all lying there with only intake and no out, and they were already fainting in pain.

The brocade-clothed hundred households said to the celebrant and eunuch: "Return to your father-in-law, the execution is over!" ”

The celebrant and eunuch said slowly: "Well, okay, our family knows, our family will go back to the palace to repeat the order", he flicked his sleeves and turned around and walked into the noon gate.

The group of Jinyi captains who were executed also left with the Jinyi Guard, leaving only Zhong Yu and the five of them lying outside the noon gate, unable to move for a while.

After a long time, a few little eunuchs from the East Palace came over and slowly picked up Zhong Yu, Liu Jin and others.

Liu Jin, Gu Dayong and others were beaten half to death, their bodies were all soft, and they were served by two of the little eunuchs, and they barely stood up.

Zhong Yu also struggled to stand up under the service of the two little eunuchs, and felt no strength in his legs. Although the lieutenant in brocade clothes showed mercy to his subordinates, after twenty sticks, it still hurt badly, and it is estimated that the buttocks and back are not only swollen, but must have broken and bleeding.

Liu Jin arranged for two little eunuchs to send Zhong Yu home, and said to Zhong Yu weakly: "Let the little ones hold Zhong Shi to read you first for a while, activate the lower blood, don't leave the root of the disease!" Later, our family will let someone go to Zhong Shi to read and send some good Jinchuang medicine, remember to take it internally and apply it externally! ”

Zhong Yu hurriedly arched his hand gratefully and said: "Thank you Father-in-law Liu, several fathers-in-law should also take care of themselves and take care of them!" ”

Liu Jin smiled bitterly and nodded slightly to Zhong Yu to indicate that he understood, and he was not even able to speak.

Liu Jin waved his hand slightly, and asked the little eunuchs to walk towards the East Palace with a few people.

The two little eunuchs of the East Palace walked for a long time with Zhong Yu in their arms, until Zhong Yu felt only numbness on his buttocks and back, and no longer felt pain, and then a little eunuch went to hire a carriage and send Zhong Yu home.
