"Nothing to see!"

Zhu Xizhong asked the emperor to return from the upper floor of the Huangji Gate, and saw that Yan Shifan used this action to provoke him, the chief criminal officer, and saw that the emperor did not object to him standing up for Xia Mu, so he was furious and reprimanded Nadongchang Fanzi fiercely:

"Dog, here's where you carry out? Don't roll out yet! ”

The Dongchang fan didn't dare to look at Cheng Guogong, and hurriedly ran to the side like a lost dog.

Yan Shifan walked out with a sneer, not caring about Zhu Xizhong's warning at all, looking at Yang Jisheng and Xia Mu, and laughing loudly: "You are a criminal official, you can be guilty!" ”

Xia Mu looked at Yan Shifan, who was sneering, and also sneered, and said loudly: "We are waiting to maintain the rules of the imperial court and eliminate traitors, what is the crime?"

Yang Jisheng even spit Yan Shifan foaming fiercely, and scolded: "I can't wait to eat the flesh and blood of your father and son and drink the blood of your father and son!" ”

"Presumptuous!" Yan Shifan raised his voice and was furious: "Execution!"

"This?" The little eunuch glanced at Zhu Xizhong and asked what he meant. Zhu Xizhong saw that he could no longer delay, and nodded in agreement with the execution.

The little eunuch got the instructions, and hurriedly walked up to the wooden platform from the side, unfolded the scroll of the Yellow Aya, and read aloud:

"Xia Mu, Yang Jisheng, etc., have no monarch in their eyes, despise the imperial court, and are called to maintain Gangchang, but in fact, they are far away from the monarch and ministers. Although he was in a flail for the public, he still did not want to repent. Today, wearing a brocade scepter Xia Mu sixty, he was demoted to a common man to set an example; Yang Jisheng has a hundred rods, and he is three thousand miles away to fill the army. After being tortured, he was immediately expelled from the capital. No stops. Chin!"

When the eunuch announced the decree, there were thousands of people of all kinds in the square, but there was no voice.

At this time, the proclamation was just ... Stopped, I saw Zhu Xizhong wave his hand, and the junior colonel beside him roared again:

"Execution—"

Before the sound fell, the brocade-clothed guards who had already stood in front of the criminal officers swarmed up, and with great skill, they knocked the two people to the ground, and made them lie on the white cloth with their faces on the bricks.

"Uncle, please open your mouth!"

A brocade guard shouted, Xia Mu didn't come back to his senses when he heard this, and when he saw the brocade guard nodding, he opened his mouth, and immediately a brocade guard quickly stuffed a sandalwood stick about five inches long into his mouth, and the rod was wearing thin hemp rope at both ends, and the soldier copied the two hemp ropes and tightened them on the back of his neck.

This sandalwood stick stretched Xia Mu's mouth open and blocked it so much that he couldn't even hum if he didn't shout.

This is an indispensable link in front of the court staff, because the iron thorn sandalwood cane hits down, it doesn't take a few strokes to open the skin and flesh, the prisoner can't bear it, and will definitely tear the liver and lungs and scream, now use the sandalwood stick to block your mouth, so that you can't shout if you want to. In the blink of an eye, both of them "bitten" a sandalwood stick in their mouths.

Next, their hands were fastened with iron rings tied with hemp rope, and then they were torn apart word by word. The taut hemp rope was firmly tied to the iron wedge that had been temporarily driven into the brick floor. After the mouth and hands were processed, the two people were unable to move.

The next step is to remove their pants, which is indecent, but it is a part that cannot be omitted. If a person who was punished with a rod wears trousers and goes down with a rod, the broken pieces of cloth will be deeply embedded in the flesh, and after a few rods, the trousers will be torn, and the rotten flesh will be full of cloth scraps. Wounds are also difficult to heal. Therefore, the act of removing the pants is for the sake of the inmate.

Xia Mu looked at Yang Jisheng and smiled bitterly, but he couldn't laugh, he could only make a whining sound, but Yang Jisheng had a calm face and was silent.

In a moment, the pants of the two were removed, and they were exposed in broad daylight, and all the ministers present were the ministers who pretended to be elegant, although they knew that this was a punishment, but they still felt that this kind of blasphemous behavior was unacceptable, so they closed their eyes.

At this point, all the preparations in front of the court staff are ready. The little colonel checked them one by one, and returned to the stage to report to Zhu Xizhong.

Zhu Xizhong sighed, nodded his head slightly, and the little colonel immediately turned around and shouted out a terrifying word that resounded through the sky:

"Hit!"

"Hit-!"

The voice echoed through the high wall in front of the Imperial Gate. When some of the Liuke Speech Officials with their eyes closed heard the sound, their eyes suddenly opened, and some of their opened eyes quickly closed again.

Almost at the same time, the four rods were raised together.

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

"Bang bang bang!"

The sound of a heavy blunt object hitting the **: dull, hoarse, but irresistible penetrating:

When the first cane went down, cold sweat broke out on Xia Mu's painful forehead, and Yang Jisheng raised their heads in unison, because it was the first cane, they could still react quickly to the pain - like a scoop of boiling oil splashed on the buttocks, it could be said that minced meat was flying sideways and blood was splattered.

However, all the officials present who watched the execution could not hear the heart-wrenching wails, and Xia Mu's mouth was blocked. Because their bodies were also chained to death, they could not be seen struggling or writhing.

"Nine, Ten......"

"Twenty, Twenty-One......"

"Forty-five, forty-six......"

There was a soldier who was loudly reporting the number of cane strikes, and every number shouted out was like a heavy hammer, smashing into the heart of every officer of the six branches. However, these numbers had no effect on Xia Mu himself, and after more than a dozen strokes, he had passed out.

At this moment, Luo Kedi hurriedly walked over with Princess Anning's sedan chair, and when Princess Anning heard that Xia Mu was tortured, her face turned pale with fright, and she hurriedly followed Luo Kedi to the Huangji Gate.

It's just that before he walked in, he saw that Xia Mu had already opened his skin and flesh and passed out, and his bloody appearance almost made the princess with a moonlight faint, and tears flowed down in her eyes in an instant, but she trembled her shoulders and knelt down to Jiajing, who was watching the execution at the emperor's gate: "Father, you can't bear to see your daughter like this, please let the light go!" ”

Jiajing, who was watching the execution at the Imperial Gate, looked at Princess An Ning and snorted coldly, ignored her words, and continued: "Keep fighting!" ”

"Forty-nine, fifty, fifty-one, fifty-two......"

"Father, I can't fight anymore!" Princess An Ning knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to Emperor Jiajing, Xia Mu came to his senses during this period, looked at Princess An Ning like this, his eyes moistened, and he shook his head to signal her not to do this.

Princess An Ning looked at Xia Mu and smiled, without a moment of sadness on her face.

There is such a kind of woman in this world, the real emotions are never revealed on the face, An Ning is like this, Xi Yi is also like this, at this moment An Ning She smiled, and the hurt in her heart can only be seen by Xia Mu.

He seemed to know what this stupid woman was going to do, and hurriedly shook his head.

But in Xia Mu's gradually anxious gaze, I saw Princess An Ning slowly twitch a dagger, slammed it into the position of her right shoulder, and inserted it, she snorted twice, without the slightest emotion, looking at Emperor Jiajing's face on the gate of the emperor becoming more and more ugly: "Father, marry a chicken with a chicken, marry a dog with a dog." You married me to Xia Mu, I am his person, and now my husband is not in every way, my father and the emperor have beaten and scolded, and my daughter has received a knife in his place, so I ask my father to spare him. ”

Suddenly, blood gushed out, but An Ning was unaware, looked at Jiajing, who didn't speak, and smiled: "If you don't think it's enough, father......"

As he spoke, he pulled out the dagger sharply, changed its position and plunged it deeply.

Xia Mu had tears in his eyes as he watched An Ning struggle. An Ning looked at Xia Mu, and there was still that gentle smile on his face: "You dead man, you gave me sincerity, you shouldn't make me angry, why do you want to do this!" ”

As she spoke, Princess An Ning pulled out the dagger again, and the blood dripped to the ground, dyed crimson in an instant, shocking thousands of officials, none of them made a sound, they were iron-clad, not as good as a daughter!

Emperor Jiajing's hand trembled completely, pointed at Xia Mu, used all his strength, nodded, and then looked at An Ning coldly, and scolded: "This hun er, so like this!" ”

Although Xia Mu stopped, Yang Jisheng wanted to continue.

"Fifty-seven, fifty-eight, fifty-nine, sixty...... One hundred!"

As soon as this number was reported, the cane punishment came to an end, and each rod made the watchers even more thrilled.

I saw the two people who stopped the cane, lying there with blurred flesh and blood, miserable. But it must be known that these soldiers who were executed were warned by Zhu Xizhong and asked their subordinates to show mercy. Otherwise, if a soldier breaks it, you can break their bones in ten rods, and kill you in thirty rods.

It's just that it just so happened that the soldiers who executed today were all from Beizhen Fusi, and they secretly used tricks, although on the surface they raised the torture rod high and swung it down very violently, but at the moment they approached the body of the torture person, their wrists stiffened, and the strength poured into the torture rod was recovered a lot. Moreover, they try not to fall on the joints when they lower their canes. But despite this, after all, the sandalwood staff with iron barbs is too powerful, and although the two of them can pick up a life, the flesh-and-blood living crime is still tragic.

During the entire execution, Zhu Xizhong was so nervous that he was sweating profusely, and now his vest was cold: he glanced at the big bloody man lying on the ground, quickly turned his face, and said the word "scatter" to everyone present.

The colonel took another step forward and shouted, "Rank officer, end—"

Suddenly, the officials on both sides of the box poured towards the end door like a tide. They neither talked to each other, nor did they dare to stay here a little longer. Within a moment, none of the officials who were watching the sentence were left.

On the upper floor of the Huangji Gate, behind the wooden lattice window lattice covered with tulle, Emperor Jiajing watched the entire execution process, and when the bloody scene was over, he saw that Princess An Ning was also like a bloody person, and hurriedly said: "Let the imperial doctor pass on to the great interior." ”

Saying that, Jiajing stared at the execution ground intently, and the anger in his eyes was undoubtedly revealed.

An Ning didn't pay any attention to Jiajing's will, but just let Luo Kedi and Dao Meteor carry Xia Mu, who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, turned around without hesitation, and his red clothes were stained with blood more and more weird and bewitching, and he staggered two steps.

Emperor Jiajing hurriedly chased down the gatehouse, looked at An Ning and scolded: "You bastard, you can't dig up your Abba's heart!" ”

Princess An Ning stopped when she heard the sound, and turned towards Jiajing, but there was no trace of a smile on her face, as if expounding a calm fact: "In my life, I don't believe in the sky, I don't believe in the earth, I only believe in this man, the only choice I have made without regrets is to choose to marry him, if Abba moves him, kill me first!" ”

Jiajing was shocked when he heard this, in order to cultivate immortals and become enlightened in his life, he couldn't get close to his son and enjoy the joy of family, but fortunately, God sent him Anning, he really called him Anning Ningning, he really regarded Anning as a treasure in his heart, and gave whatever he wanted, so when An Ning said that he liked Xia Mu, even if he knew that Xia Mu was engaged to Xu Jie's granddaughter, he still domineeringly married An Ning to Xia Mu as his wife.

At this moment, when Jiajing heard this, he also regretted it a little in his heart, glared at the old Yan Song on the side, and scolded: "Incompetent dog thing!" ”

Yan Song heard this, his heart was shocked, he almost forgot that this Xia Mu had peace as an umbrella, and he really couldn't move!

"Abba has relied on you, Xia Muguan has been reinstated, I won't punish him, good boy, go into the palace with Abba!"

An Ning's heart was relieved when she heard this, she was right, she just wanted to gamble with her own life, and bet that the emperor would let Xia Mu go. It's just that at this moment, the highly tense heartstrings relaxed, and she couldn't stand the pain anymore, and immediately fainted. Seeing this, Jiajing hurriedly asked the imperial doctor to carry him into the palace. Luo Kedi didn't care about the princess's safety, so he hurriedly ran out of the Huangji Gate with Xia Mu on his back and ran towards the medical hall.
