Chapter 43: Accepting the Punishment

"I'm coming." Beiming was about to answer, when Gu Qingyan's voice came from behind him, and he stood sideways to the side, and saw Gu Qingyan walking in the middle of the front, six ghost guards in the two rows behind him, and then two people dragged and tied, carrying a corpse up.

Gu Qingyan passed by Beiming's side, the two nodded tacitly, Beiming returned to Gu Qingyan's side, and when all the living and dead came up, Su Tanxue on the side saw those things, and couldn't help but cover her eyes with her sleeves, which was not easy to see.

Gu Qingyan led everyone forward and saluted: "I have seen King Yu, the eldest brother, the second brother, and the third brother." ”

"What's behind you?" Yuwang asked.

Gu Qingyan said: "The person who intended to infiltrate the stone gate has been executed. ”

After saying this, Ye Jinliang, who had been nervous beside him, silently glanced at Gu Qingyan, not wanting to see Gu Qingyan looking at him, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, he was creepy, he blinked, and then looked at Gu Qingyan but saw Gu Qingyan talking as usual, as if the expression just now was that Ye Jinliang himself was hallucinating.

Yuwang Yuguang also looked at Ye Jinliang, from the time Gu Qingyan appeared to the time he saw those lying corpses, Ye Jinliang's face gradually became worse, as if he was worried about something.

"What about those two?" Yuwang asked.

Gu Qingyan motioned to Holly to bring people up, Holly grabbed the two people who were tied up and stepped forward, the two were still dizzy, Holly took out a silver needle from his sleeve and walked towards a certain acupuncture point of the two, and the person woke up after a while.

As soon as he saw the situation around him, he wanted to bite through the poison and kill himself, but the thing was already missing from his mouth.

Gu Qing flue; "These two are the ones I left behind, and I still have information to ask, but their identities are clear."

After saying that, Holly cooperated and turned the two around, opened their shirts, and everyone saw that the left shoulder was printed with a snake pattern.

No one present was more familiar with this pattern than Ye Jinliang, it was a totem of the City of No Return that he had seen many times. He didn't expect that Gu Qingyan really found all the people who sneaked into the stone gate of the city of no return, and he didn't expect Gu Qingyan to leave two alive in this situation.

He had heard that if the stone gate interrogated people, it would be possible to pry open the mouths of dead people. If something is really said by those two people, I am afraid that it will affect Fu Di's plan.

Ye Jinliang thought to himself in his heart, he didn't pay attention to the teacup in his hand, and as soon as he put his hand down, he accidentally knocked over the cup and made a noise.

"What's wrong?" Yuwang asked.

Gu Qingyan called the Hidden Fog Terrace, Ye Jinliang's every move became the focus of his attention, just when he saw the totem, although everyone was surprised and faintly angry, but Ye Jinliang kept frowning and secretly pondering, so that King Yu saw it in his eyes.

"No, it's nothing, the villain is just thinking that the stone gate is so strict, and it has been exploited by others." Ye Jinliang was unforgiving, and secretly gave Gu Qingyan a blow.

Gu Qingyan sneered and said; "So what, not self-sufficient is not self-sufficient after all." After speaking, he didn't care about Ye Jinliang anymore.

Xu Shaolin, who had not spoken, opened his mouth at this time; "Take people down first, you can't judge anything, and you will bear the consequences."

Gu Qingyan followed his words and summoned Beiming, who instructed the people below to bring the corpses and the living back to Shimen first.

Gu Qingyan took Beiming Dongqing and other thirteen people to kneel on one knee; "Gu Qingyan was derelict in charge of Shimen, and asked the valley master to punish him."

As soon as these words came out, Xu Shaolin and others also understood that this matter was indeed Gu Qingyan's negligence, and with the presence of King Yu, Gu Qingyan was afraid of gossiping, so he pleaded guilty.

King Yu was also thinking about whether Taohuajian should be held accountable for this matter, but who knew that Gu Qingyan brought it up first. Look, this girl is still guarding against him.

King Yu looked at Gu Qingyan who was kneeling below, and then looked at Xu Shaolin, he thought that Xu Shaolin would not really punish Gu Qingyan heavily, but he also helped and said: "Although the matter has come to this, there is no big mistake in remedying it in time, and there is no need for heavy punishment, it is appropriate."

Han Yan also wanted to say something, but when he saw Gu Qingyan looking at Xu Shaolin's firm eyes, he was speechless for a while, and he didn't know what Gu Qingyan was thinking at this time.

Xu Shaolin clenched his fists, since this was the case, he had no other way but to see if the people behind Gu Qingyan could be fully relied on.

"The four girls were not in charge of the stone gate properly, let outsiders sneak into the stone gate, and risk causing a big disaster, but fortunately, they could find it in time, make up for the loss, and according to the rules of the peach blossom stream, they will be punished with eighty."

"Beiming assisted the four girls to take charge of Shimen, and he was also guilty of dereliction of duty and lax supervision, and was punished with fifty lashes."

"The twelve ghosts guarded the Shimen leader, and each of them appeared strange and did not know it, and they were punished with thirty lashes."

After Xu Shaolin finished speaking, Zong Yue was about to get up in fright, those hardcover men were still fifty or thirty years old, Gu Qingyan and a woman were eighty at once, and they wanted to speak, but they were cast by Bai Limo with a look, so that he could calm down a little.

Han Yan also panicked, although it was not the staff to blame the skin and flesh to open the flesh and internal injuries and external injuries together, but every whip of the whip will leave a blood mark, eighty whips, how can Gu Qingyan withstand it. Just as he was about to say something, he heard that Beiming had already answered.

"The master has a lot of affairs, and it is often difficult to take care of the left and right, and the subordinates, as assistants, cannot take care of both the inside and outside for the master, and the assistant management is not strict, so he should bear heavy responsibilities and is willing to share the responsibility and punishment for the master." When Beiming heard Xu Shaolin's words, he didn't have time to think about anything else, he was worried that Gu Qingyan would really be punished so heavily, so as soon as the words fell, he picked up the words and was willing to share the punishment.

The twelve ghost guards behind him were also secretly shocked in their hearts, even if Gu Qingyan was punished in Shimen when he was a child, at most he would only have thirty lashes at a time, but there was Beiming, and a few people were not good at speaking directly, but now they heard Beiming's voice, and everyone also said: "The master and the son are away all the year round, and we are directly in charge of Shimen's fatigue, and if we make a mistake, we are willing to accept heavy punishment for the master." ”

This one by one said sincerely, Xu Shaolin thought that he had not seen the wrong person, pretended to be pondering, and only spoke after a while: "In this case, each of the twelve ghost guards will add five more whips, and Beiming You already have fifty lashes on your body, so you won't add them for the time being, but if you don't find out what the two people are, add fifty." ”

"Subordinates receive punishments." Xu Shaolin didn't say how much Gu Qingyan had decreased, but the words stopped here, and everyone had to reply first, but they were worried that Xu Shaolin didn't reduce Gu Qingyan.

Gu Qingyan's expression didn't matter, eighty lashes in Peach Blossom Stream was better than eighty boards, she had seen people who were about to be crippled with eighty boards, eighty lashes were just a few more scars on their bodies, and it hurt for a few days. After listening to the words of Bei Ming and the Twelve Ghost Guards, Gu Qingyan's heart was warm, even if Xu Shaolin did not decrease, she felt that it was worth it. After all, people are united, and this is the most valuable.

Gu Qingyan was half-bowing her head, and wearing a mask, Xu Shaolin couldn't fully see Gu Qingyan's expression, but seeing that she had been kneeling steadily, he said, "Gu Qingyan." ”

Gu Qingyan raised his head, and for some reason there was still a hint of a smile, and Baili Mo and Zong Yue on the side shook their heads helplessly. Hearing Xu Shaolin say: "Since someone has already been punished with sixty lashes for you, and there are twenty lashes left, you can receive the punishment yourself." ”

"Qingyan receives the penalty." Gu Qing said, after speaking, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, to be honest, he was still a little afraid in the deepest part of his heart.

"All the disciples of Shimen have also listened today. Although Gu Qingyan is the fourth girl of my Peach Blossom Stream, the country has national laws, the family has family rules, and the rules of Peach Blossom Stream are the same for everyone. Although the heavy responsibility for today's incident lies on them, the rest of Shimen can't escape the involvement, so they will go back to Shimen to think about it for a month from now on. In the future, if the stone gate leaks again and causes the loss of the peach blossom stream, all the people will be severely punished. Xu Shaolin said.

In this way, Gu Qingyan took Beiming and the others back to Shimen to receive the punishment. The episode of the Fog Terrace has also come to an end.

After Ye Jinliang finished, he hurriedly returned to his residence, and the guards sent by King Yu secretly observed, this Ye Jinliang was thinking about how to spread the news that the city of no return was discovered by Gu Qingyan in the second half of the year, so he didn't pay attention to what happened behind him at all.

King Yu is dual-minded, after Gu Qingyan scolded Ye Jinliang openly, he silently brushed up the causes and consequences of Gu Qingyan and asked him to bring Ye Jinliang here, thought about it, and knew Gu Qingyan's intentions behind him, but now Gu Qingyan and her subordinates are busy being punished, but I am afraid that they can't take care of this, so he will do his duty.

It is said that this stone gate has a special punishment room similar to a prison cell, and the ground is vacated, and thirteen people, including Beiming, Dongqing, Dongxin, and Dongsheng, are tied up, and Nan Ke and Xiju take two of their subordinates, a total of six people, and a group of three or three to be tortured, so the scene of being beaten is not too ugly.

But Nan Ke and Xi Du didn't think so in their hearts, this one with fifty lashes, twelve with thirty-five whips, the six of them had to draw a total of 470 whips, an average of 79 lashes per person, which was enough for them to be tired.

took the whip and slapped it, and these few people had a good mentality and were fearless, and it was written on their faces: You can smoke whatever you want. A few big words, what can they do, they should all accompany the brothers to share the weal and woe.

"Huh!" This whip goes down, and the punishment begins.

Unlike Beiming, they were executed standing up, and they were beaten in front and behind of their bodies, and Gu Qingyan was beaten on his stomach. After all, they are still concerned that it is not easy to treat the problem of positive scars. Even if it is hit in the back, this poses a problem for the executioner.

Whoever executes is none other than Dongli.

Dong Liang took the whip and didn't start for a long time, you said that the beating was light, and you couldn't convince people, and the sound next door was crackling. If you want to say that it is heavy, there are four big Buddhas standing outside, and if something happens to Gu Qingyan, he may lie here directly.

"Okay, okay, if you don't do it again, it's all over there." Gu Qingyan listened to the sound of the whip over there, and her heart was not happy, those people were all tough guys, and they wouldn't make a sound no matter how much the whip hurt, Gu Qingyan's heart was uncomfortable, she thought that she was hurting on her body, so she was distracted, but she was impatient to wait.

It's really not good, Dong Liang said: "Fourth girl, your subordinates really started, you can't hold on to you and shout." ”

As long as Gu Qingyan shouted, someone outside the door would rush in, and he would be mixed up as soon as he stopped.

Gu Qingyan said straightly: "I know, I know." ”

Then he pulled his sleeve and stuffed it in his mouth, bit it, closed his eyes, and lay on the chair with his head stuffy, ready to be as skilled as he could.

"Smack!" The whip of the East Fence finally went down, Gu Qingyan snorted, he hadn't been whipped for a long time, and he was really uncomfortable.

For a while, there was a whip in the punishment room, but no one shouted, and everyone was extremely enduring.

Outside the door, the four big men Xu Shaolin, Han Yan, Zong Yue, and Baili Mo sat uncomfortably, staring closely at the closed door.

"Gu Qingyan will be fine, right?" Han Yan heard the sound of the whip closest to them, it was really crisp, and he didn't know if Gu Qingyan could stand it.

Although Xu Shaolin was also worried in his heart, his previous style made him still calm, and it was Dongli who executed Gu Qingyan, and he also confessed privately before Dongli went in.

Baili Mo patted Han Yan's shoulder, knowing that Han Yan's worries were no less than the three of them, out of his understanding of Gu Qingyan, he comforted and said: "Don't worry, this girl has been beaten a lot in Shimen when she was a child, she has eaten whips, sticks, and boards, and she can still survive twenty whips." ”

After speaking, he pointed to Zong Yue on the side, and at some point he had already asked Yiyi to send a medicine box, at any time. Han Yan nodded, Baili Mo didn't speak, but kept looking at the door, touching a peace blessing in his hand, and thought: Girl, girl, I hope this blessing can be blessed.

Su Xin and Su Tanxue also wanted to follow them to the punishment room, but they were stopped by Xu Shaolin: "Your master will definitely change his clothes and treat after he goes back, you should prepare." ”

Su Xin thought that this was indeed the case, so she had to come back while worrying, change the sheets and quilt covers, prepare convenient clothes, make the room warm, and go to boil the water. Su Tanxue was helping Su Xin to figure it out on the side, worried about Gu Qingyan, and tears were about to fall.

Su Xin turned around and saw this, she was startled, and hurriedly called Guo'er, who was helping outside, and helped Su Tanxue to sit down and rest for a while: "The girl is fine, why are you crying?" ”

Guo'er said: "I think I was scared when I saw those unclean things." ”

Su Xin didn't think it was anything, after all, she had been by Gu Qingyan's side for a long time, not to mention these complete corpses, they were bloody, and she couldn't tell which ones they were.

But when I looked at Su Tanxue, it was also clear that everyone used to be Miss Shen after all, how could they touch these things, their hearts softened, and they comforted: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, you won't see you again." ”

Su Tanxue wiped her tears and shook her head: "No, although those are a little scared, it's okay that I didn't understand it, but I didn't expect Qingyan to be punished so heavily." ”

In the past, she felt that it hurt when she fell and twisted her feet, let alone the whip on her body.

Su Xin said: "My master can toss when he is young, and there is often a blue and purple on his body, so it's okay." Ah, you see, it's up to me. Su Xin blamed herself as she spoke.

"I should have been used to seeing this, and today is the same, because my master has not been punished for a long time, so I panicked and hurried, which made the snow girl sad. You said that if the master came back, I would have to say that I didn't take good care of it and provoked the girl. ”

Su Xin was about to slap himself in the mouth after speaking, but was stopped by Su Tanxue: "If you care, you will be chaotic, and I can't control myself for a while." Okay, okay, let's pack up too, don't think about it, and wait for Qingyan to come back. ”

After saying this, she began to clean up in the Pure Heart Courtyard again, Shen Sanniang also got the letter, and hurriedly returned to the small kitchen of the Pure Heart Courtyard to wait, and when she saw Su Xin, she asked her: "Do the two old ladies know about this matter?" ”

"No, the valley lord sealed the news and ordered people to only say the results of the trial, and nothing else was allowed to be passed on."

Su Xin said, if these four were to know today, I was afraid that the punishment room would be demolished.
