Chapter 20 Shoot the wolf with a long arrow

By the time the two arrived, almost all of them were already there.

When Gina saw that Zhuo Wangsun had not yet arrived, she was about to greet someone she knew, and Qin Yan made a silent gesture and quietly led her to the side and stood down. I listened to the maid announce: "All palace masters, moon lords, and all of you, respectfully invite the pavilion masters." Everyone shouted together: "Respectfully invite the pavilion master!" ”

I saw Zhuo Wangsun slowly walking out from behind and walking towards the seat of the pavilion master in the middle.

Gina's eyes lit up, he changed into a dress today, with wide sleeves and broad belts, embroidered with vermilion purple algae, which looked extremely gorgeous, compared to the past, minus a little sparse and idle, but more **noble, as bright as the sun, almost no one dared to look at him more.

Huayin Pavilion was built in the Sui and Tang dynasties, in order to show respect for the ancient system, the pavilion from the pavilion master to the ordinary disciples, all used Tang Dynasty costumes as formal clothing for ceremonies.

Of course, Zhuo Wangsun has always been accustomed to the rules in the pavilion, whether to wear such a dress or not, it doesn't matter whether the ceremony is grand or not, but it all depends on his mood.

Gina looked at him in a daze, and opened her mouth as if she was about to say something, but she was grabbed by Qin Yan, and the audience bowed down and shouted: "Welcome to the pavilion master!" ”

Zhuo Wang Sun bowed his head slightly and sat down in the center. He glanced down at his seat, but didn't look at Gina more.

He said in a loud voice: "I have gathered everyone here today, and there are a few things to deal with with rewards and punishments. The rules of Huayin Pavilion have always been clear about rewards and punishments, and rewards and punishments must be done before everyone to understand the fairness of sanction rewards. Speaking of this, after a pause, the housekeeper Yan Daoming held a piece of paper, looked at the front station, and read aloud: "Feng, Gina, the position of the four-pole moon concubine Shuo Yue concubine." Punishment, Qin Yan, go to the post of the new moon concubine for one year, and then determine the reward and punishment after the expiration of the period. Punishment, Han Qingzhu, was punished by tarsal needles. ”

After the housekeeper finished reading, Zhuo Wang Sun said: "Gina has only been in Huayin Pavilion for less than a month, and it has only been a few days to learn the Spring Water Sword Technique, and she can defeat Qin Yan, Han Qingzhu, and Hong Thirteen, and come and go freely in the Void Life White Moon Palace. How many people in the world have such talent and qualifications? Huayin Pavilion has been taught by the world's talents, how can we give up such talents easily? Fang has a lot of events today, and if Huayin Pavilion wants to rise, backward talents are indispensable. This pavilion has inspected Gina's pure heart, innocent and simple, and treats people with sincerity and sincerity, which is a piece of jade that has not yet been carved, not only with good qualifications. Therefore, this pavilion was specially promoted to the concubine of Shuoyue, in order to show the pavilion's determination to open up the road to the virtuous and persuade the virtuous. Purple ribbon for Gina. ”

The ceremonial officer took the purple ribbon in the brocade box and bowed to Gina. At the moment, there are two maids waiting for Gina to put on a purple ribbon and inherit the position of Concubine Shuoyue.

Gina didn't quite know what was going on, but since Zhuo Wangsun asked her to carry this belt, she took it with her, and said with a smile: "Thank you." Everyone knew that she was not very polite, but only acted with sincerity, so they did not ask her much.

Zhuo Wangsun smiled and nodded to Gina, indicating an answer. When he raised his head, he had changed a cold look, and in Gina's eyes, he seemed to have changed from a gentle brother to a god who could kill and take away at will.

His gaze fell from afar, focused on Qin Yan, and said, "Qin Yan, do you know what is wrong?" ”

Qin Yan took a step forward and said respectfully: "If your subordinates fail to complete the task ordered by the pavilion master, you are willing to receive punishment." ”

Zhuo Wang Sun said: "In this way, you don't know what is wrong. A task is handed to you, and whether you complete it or not is not the root cause of punishment, but whether you do it with all your strength. If the task is beyond your ability, the responsibility lies with you. In all respects, can you stop Gina on the fifteenth? ”

Qin Yan whispered, "Yes." Just ......"

Zhuo Wangsun sneered: "It's just that you don't want to destroy her vision of happiness, and you are willing to be punished yourself, and you have to fulfill her this time, right?" You took care of the love between sisters, and you forgot the law of Huayin Pavilion! You can do this today, and when you are asked to deal with traitors in the future, will you also open the net and kill them all? I ask you if you are so ill-intentioned and take care of your selfishness and ignore the public, should this cabinet punish you? ”

Qin Yan bowed his head and said: "Pavilion master Shengming, his subordinates are willing to be punished." ”

Zhuo Wangsun's voice softened slightly, and said, "This pavilion knows that you have also tried your best to do it." But your efforts are far from enough, and you are ashamed of the position of Concubine Crescent, which is to take your position for a year, I hope you can understand the benefits and disadvantages as soon as possible and live up to the expectations of this cabinet. ”

Qin Yan agreed and retreated to his original position.

Zhuo Wang Sun said: "Lord Han Qing." ”

Lord Han Qing also took a step forward and said respectfully, "Pavilion Master." Although he was calm and wanted to continue to maintain his usual demeanor, he still couldn't help but tremble slightly at the thought of the cruelty of the tarsal needle.

Zhuo Wang Sun said: "Do you know what is wrong? ”

Han Qing said: "Subordinate...... The subordinates miscalculated, and accidentally knocked Gina into the palace, and the subordinates ...... Subordinates damn it. ”

Zhuo Wang Sun stood up, his figure covered the entire hall like a god, and sneered: "Every time this pavilion punishes, you must first ask if the person being punished knows if he knows his fault, just to give you a chance." After making a mistake, if you understand it correctly, it at least means that you have seriously considered the mistakes you have made, and there is some meaning that you need to change your ways. But not only do you not examine yourself, but you also blindly want to free yourself, so attentively, in the small place is to seek profit and follow the situation, to protect yourself, in the big place is not clear about the righteousness, only to be ignorant of the ability. How revered is the deacon of the East Tianqingyang Palace, can you take this position? ”

Lord Han Qing sweated down and said, "Subordinate...... Subordinate......"

Zhuo Wang Sun said: "Let me ask you again, do you know where you are wrong?" ”

Han Qing said: "When the subordinates are facing the enemy, they are unwilling to go all out, they are too showy, they take the orders ordered by the pavilion master inappropriately, and despise Miss Gina, resulting in the failure of everything that is ten percent certain. Subordinate...... The subordinates should die, please ask the cabinet master to give punishment. ”

Zhuo Wang Sun said: "You are not stupid after all. But I still overestimate myself. If Gina can hurt Hong 13 like this, you may not be able to win. How can the enemy be so easily deceived by illusions, how can he take on great things? I don't know how to change it, and after I beat Gina into the Void White Moon Palace, I didn't dare to break in to stop it back, and I didn't dare to ring the alarm to call the police, do you treat this pavilion's order as a game? If an enemy comes to attack in the future, and it is not part of your ministry, you will ignore it, will you? The more he spoke, the stronger his voice became, Lord Han Qing lowered his head and didn't dare to answer, his body trembled like chaff.

Zhuo Wang Sun said: "Three years of swallowing Wu, refining into steel, you, the deacon of Qingyang Palace, this pavilion will not stop you." You will only be punished with a tarsal needle. You should know the meaning of the fulfillment of this cabinet, and work hard to improve in the future. Take the tarsal needle. ”

Suddenly, a crisp voice said, "Slow! ”

When Zhuo Wangsun looked up, it was Gina.

Zhuo Wang Sun said: "What do you have to say?" ”

Gina said, "You said you punished the two of them for me?" ”

Zhuo Wang Sun said: "You can say that, you can't say that." ”

Gina said, "You just gave me this purple ribbon, but did you reward me?" ”

Zhuo Wangsun said: "Of course. ”

Gina said, "Then can I not want this purple ribbon, and they won't have to be punished?" ”

Zhuo Wangsun said: "No. The rewards and punishments of this cabinet are clear, and those who should be rewarded are rewarded for meritorious deeds, and those who should be punished must be punished at their roots. If merit and sin can be compensated, I am afraid that many people will be proud of their merits and do misdeeds, although there are rewards and punishments, they will not be used. You just entered Huayin Pavilion, I don't know much about these rules, I will forgive you for the time being. Retire. ”

Gina said, "But ......"

Zhuo Wangsun's face sank, and he scolded: "Stand down!" ”

Qin Yan hurriedly went up and pulled Gina back.

Zhuo Wangsun said: "Take the tarsal needle." ”

The disciples of the torture hall hurriedly sent it up, and a row of silver needles four or five inches long were spread out on the shelf, shining with silver light, like cold ice. The silver needle is long, but it is as thin as a cow's hair, and when you look closely, there are even finer barbs on it.

Lord Han Qing's body trembled even more, but Zhuo Wangsun was completely gone, and ordered: "Execution." ”

The disciple of the torture hall respectfully agreed. One disciple tore Han Qingzhu's shirt apart, and the other disciple picked up the tarsal bone needle and plunged it into Han Qingzhu's shoulder. The thin needle was inserted into the flesh, as if it had consciousness, and it went into it little by little. The torture hall disciple didn't have any sadness and sympathy on his face, and he picked up another silver needle and stabbed it on Han Qing's back. After a while, the twelve tarsal silver needles were all pierced into Han Qingzhu's body.

Han Qing's main teeth were gritted, and the beads of sweat on his forehead were dripping down, and he endured the pain, and the stone bricks under his feet were trampled to crack the gap that was more than a foot long. After a while, he scratched blood marks on his chest with both hands, and the silver needles were all in his body at this time, and he really felt cruel and fierce at a glance.

Gina yelled, "Stop...... Stop it...... Tell them to stop! ”

Zhuo Wangsun said: "I can't stop it." Now there was no other way but to wait for the silver needle to emerge from his body on its own. ”

Gina yelled, "Why are you so cruel to him? ”

Zhuo Wangsun said lightly: "Because he made a mistake." ”

Gina said: "If you make a mistake, you can spank him, why torture him so much?" ”

A sneering smile slowly appeared on Zhuo Wangsun's face, and he said, "This kind of punishment, it's not too late to discuss it when you make a mistake." ”

Gina stopped talking, walked over and knelt in front of Han Qingzhu, picked up his head and put it on her knees, tears dripping down his dry lips little by little.

Lord Han Qing had no strength to move at this time, and said weakly, "You...... You don't have to intercede for me anymore, I'm grateful to you, I ...... I was punished voluntarily. ”

Gina cried and shook her head, "No one would voluntarily suffer such a punishment. He doesn't count torturing you, but he wants to force you to say it's voluntary...... He ...... "Gina's mood was agitated at the moment, thinking of his indifference to her, the grievances he had suffered in the past few days came to his heart, and he couldn't help blurting out: "He's so ruthless!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was stunned. Zhuo Wangsun's face was cloudy, and suddenly he heard a "ding" sound, and a silver needle fell out of Han Qingzhu's chest, and after a while, another one came out. Every time a silver needle came out, Han Qingzhu's face became a little lighter, and when all twelve silver needles fell out, Han Qingzhu's tense body was loosened, as if all his vitality had disappeared, and he couldn't move anymore on Gina's knees.

Zhuo Wang Sun waved his hand, and the disciples of the torture hall carried Han Qing Lord away.

Zhuo Wang Sun said: "This pavilion has always punished so much, and what is done is the punishment of the heart. Although the crimes committed by Qin Yan and Han Qingzhu are small, their righteousness is great. Huayin Pavilion has not been changed for decades, and its momentum is thriving, and the bad problems of the disciples in the pavilion have also increased a lot. If it is not handled strictly, it will inevitably accumulate and it will be difficult to return. Therefore, the punishment of this cabinet must be cool, and it is nothing more than killing a hundred people, and I want to put an end to these trends as soon as possible. You go back and urge your own disciples, and if you don't respect the rules of the pavilion, treat the rules as child's play, do not do things effectively, and have selfish intentions, this pavilion will never lenien. Huayin Pavilion rules the world, and it must be forbidden. Among the rivers and lakes, there are many capable people, why must we be long? If one day other sects rise, Huayin Pavilion will serve him as the master, how can you be embarrassed? Ask from your heart, are you worthy of the predecessors and sages who took the world as their own thing? Huayin Pavilion did not rise from our hands, and it must not fall in our hands! What can be brilliant must not be allowed to be a little bleak! This pavilion is waiting to see what you can do, Huayin Pavilion will always be above all factions, and will be admired by everyone in the world like you! ”

Everyone shook their heads and said loudly: "Pavilion Master Shengming, Huayin Pavilion will always be the lord of the world!" "Everyone's heart has been stirred up with ambition, and all they are agitated are to do their best, the pride of fighting for the world, and the cruelty of the tarsal needle, but who else can remember? Even if someone remembers it, they don't think there's anything wrong with what Zhuo Wangsun did!

Gina didn't bow down, but still stood in the hall, staring at Zhuo Wangsun with tears. At this time, he suddenly said: "Won't you punish me?" ”

Zhuo Wangsun smiled and said, "You didn't make any mistakes, what will I punish you for." ”

Gina still had tears on her eyelashes, and she blinked and said, "But just now I contradicted you and said bad things about you." She said carelessly just now, and she also regretted it a little, not because she was afraid of Zhuo Wangsun's punishment, but because she was afraid that he would hate her.

Zhuo Wangsun smiled and said: "The law is not set by one person, you contradicted me, offended me, and it has nothing to do with Huayin Pavilion, how can I punish you?" Besides, I have something for you to do. ”

Gina let out a long sigh of relief and smiled with tears in her eyes, "What's the matter?" ”

Zhuo Wangsun said: "You pick up this piece of paper and read it to everyone." ”

Gina hurriedly ran up, took the paper and read aloud: "Xi Peng is poor, and Mu Xi is soaring." Pull the wind and transport the sea, vibrate the north and figure the south. Bumpy nine walls, overlooking the world, is the most proud. The servant's heart is longing for it, but unfortunately it can't be effective. Gentleman, do you want to teach me? The ancient order was divided into four elephants, and the servants were two, and they were weak and weak, and they did not dare to be alone, and they were proud of Yan Dan, so they were listed as a golden platform to treat the gentleman. Jun is also pregnant, can it be all? so that the study of Qin lost its deer, and the world chased it; Ding Wok has no surname, as much as he can touch, or the wind and clouds to communicate, and he is peaceful. Return the sword and dragon capital, Tibetan crane immortal mansion, and people share their fun. Invite each other to be sincere, expect the eighteenth of the monarch month, will be on the top of Songshan Mountain, talk and laugh about the four orders belonging. Servant, Yi Zhi stupefied. He stammered, and made a lot of mistakes, but he finally finished reading, and he breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "I don't understand a word about it!" ”

Zhuo Wangsun said lightly: "What do you think? ”

Yan Daoming muttered: "Yang Yizhi spread the word to the world this time and held a martial arts conference, although it is on the grounds of competing for the Quartet Heavenly Order, no one knows what secrets are hidden in these four orders. So the seizure is only a superficial article. I'm afraid that if they invite us to go, they will gather the power of the righteous path to strike us down. ”

Zhuo Wangsun nodded and said, "The Quartet Heavenly Order, naturally it is wanted, not to mention that they post an appointment, if Huayin Pavilion does not go, won't they be underestimated?" Yue Linglong, you do it first, take this invitation to Songshan, and say that I will arrive later, before I arrive, everything is decided Huayin Pavilion will not admit it. You are clever and eloquent, and you can deal with them calmly, so you must be able to deal with them first. Go down and pack up, and let's go. ”

Yue Linglong agreed, Gina raised her hand high, and said, "I'm going too, I'm going too!" ”

Zhuo Wangsun smiled: "What are you going to do?" ”

Gina said, "I ......" but did not continue. She has been with Qin Yan for a long time, and she also knows that she can't say stupid things like 'I want to be with you forever' in public, so she found a reason and changed her words: "The last time I participated in their martial arts conference in Dongting Lake, it was fun." I overturned their tables and made them angry. I'm going to lift their tables this time. ”

Zhuo Wangsun smiled: "Let's go, aren't we going to lift their platform?" Okay, you follow me. Gina was overjoyed, ran over and stood beside Zhuo Wangsun, and smiled happily to see the embroidery on his shirt.

Zhuo Wang Sun flicked his sleeves and stood up, and said in a loud voice: "The rivers and lakes will rise again, Huayin Pavilion will ride the wind and clouds and go straight up, everyone should work hard!" ”

Everyone agreed, and the huge Danshu Pavilion seemed to tremble slightly.
