"Yanqing, you...... Have you ever heard of burning at the stake? ”

Yan Suwen sat on the ground, and beside him was a field file spread out. Gu Changfeng sat on the edge of the bed, frowning slightly and looking at his own stunned wife.

This lady of his, after asking for all the files related to Mei'er and the Marquis of Nanyang, became like this. She first sat on the ground without any image, spread out all the files, looked at them one by one and shook her head, and finally after a long silence, it became the sentence she had just asked.

"There are many kinds of burning at the stake, which one are you talking about?"

"Are there any variety?" Yan Suwen didn't get up, but moved to Gu Changfeng on the spot, resting his chin on his knee. "What are they? Have you seen Yanqing? ”

"The punishment of cannon burning, which can also be called burning at the stake, but I have not seen it." Gu Changfeng's eyes darkened slightly: "But there is one, I have seen it." ”

"Which?"

"When the two armies fight, they are the most jealous and cowardly, once they are timid, they are bound to want to escape, and once one person has the idea of wanting to steal, it is bound to shake the heart of the entire army, causing the spirit of the army to collapse, and finally collapse into an army. In Nanshu, there is a special criminal law that is used to deal with this kind of soldiers who escape from the battle. ”

"Isn't it scary?"

"It's scary because that's the only time I failed."

"It's the time I met you on the official road, that is, the time when you can't come back?"

"Hmm." Gu Changfeng replied lightly, "As soon as the two sides started fighting, the Nanshu Kingdom pushed out a shelf, and a soldier was helped on the shelf. We, Da Wei, have never seen this strange way of fighting, and we are a little confused for a while. ”

"And then?"

With an order, all the soldiers of the Nanshu Kingdom next to the shelf retreated to the left and right and the rear, and the shelf and the soldiers on the shelf were empty, and then raised the arrows, lit the fire, and all the burning feather arrows flew towards the soldier. The fireball, a huge fireball, appeared in front of the battle between the two armies. ”

"What kind of tactic is it that two armies fight against each other, but shoot their own people in public?"

"Very tactical. The one who was shot was a deserter, and the general of the Southern Shu Kingdom was telling his soldiers in this way that he escaped and died! What happened next, Madame should have already thought of it. The soldiers of the Southern Shu Kingdom all rushed over like crazy, and we were defeated and retreated, and we lost the battle directly. ”

"And then?"

"Although the Great Wei was defeated, the casualties were not serious, on the other hand, Nanshu, although the rush was very fierce, but the damage was serious. The next day, the war started, we were still as usual, but Nanshu was defeated because of some scruples. ”

"This is really a success, and a failure."

"Who is Xiao He?"

"A dead man."

Gu Changfeng frowned: "The dead man you know?"

"No, I don't know, I've just heard his story." Yan Suwen grimaced: "When I was very young, I also heard a story related to burning at the stake, and just now I thought of that story, and suddenly I felt that I couldn't think clearly, and it seemed that I had thought about everything I couldn't understand." ”

"What's the story?"

"It's the story of a girl who abducted a married man and eloped and was caught."

Gu Changfeng's brows furrowed even deeper: "When you were a child, you heard such a story?" "Love the Book House

"Or else? Listen to Kezhou asking for a sword, Kong Rong let the pear? ”

Gu Changfeng hadn't heard the story of carving a boat and begging for a sword, but he could literally guess what this story was about. Kong Rong let Pear, he vaguely knew that Kong Rong should be a person, but let Pear ...... Why make pears? Is this rural story so far from Yecheng's?

Yan Suwen stretched out his hand to soothe Gu Changfeng's frowning brows: "It's just a story, listen to the old man in the Zhuangzi." When I was a child, there were only two kinds of stories I listened to, one was good and the other was scary, and this story belonged to the scary category. Really, I swear, when I listened to this story, my focus was really not on eloping with a married man, but on burning at the stake. ”

"I believe you."

"Thank you, Mr. Fu." Yan Su asked: "Let's call the girl in the story Miss Tang." Miss Tang is twenty-eight years old, grew up in her aunt's house since she was a child, and grew up with her cousin. When they reached the age when they were just sensible, this cousin and cousin promised each other for life, that Miss Tang would not marry unless she was her cousin, and that her cousin would not marry Miss Tang. According to folk sayings, this cousin and cousin are in pairs, and they are close to each other, which can be regarded as a good marriage, but this good marriage was broken up by Miss Tang's aunt. ”

"Why break up?"

Because the Tang girl in the story was born extremely beautiful, and she had a very good relationship with her cousin. Miss Tang's aunt was worried that if Miss Tang was really allowed to enter the door and mingle with her son all day long, her son would have no intention of pursuing a career and ruining his future. Therefore, she tried her best to prevent Miss Tang's marriage with her son, and also sent back this Miss Tang, who had grown up in her own home since she was a child, and kept choosing a more suitable girl for her son. ”

"What is suitable in the eyes of parents is not necessarily what is suitable in the hearts of children."

"Husband's words are great. It is true that what parents like may not be what their children like, but as a person who has come before, I still feel that I should follow the advice of my parents. Young people's likes are mostly superficial and superficial. Even if the sky collapses and the earth cracks, even if the sea is dry and rotten, it is all built outside of marriage, firewood, rice, oil and salt. The ones your parents choose for you, although they may not be what you like, most of them are suitable for life. Take me as an example, when I learned that my father and my mother had ordered me a baby kiss, I was really going crazy. But as it turned out, they helped me choose the best. ”

"Really?" Gu Changfeng's face finally had a happy color.

"Of course it's true, why don't you touch my heart and see if I'm lying?" Yan Su asked and went to pull Gu Changfeng's hand, Gu Changfeng glanced at her chest and silently dodged away.

Yan Suwen didn't care, and continued: "Miss Tang's aunt chose a beautiful lady for her son, not only an excellent wife, but also a person who can help her son. Miss Tang was on her own, and after leaving her aunt's house, although her father and mother also found a few family affairs for her, she was all pushed away. Time flies, and three years have passed. At this time, Miss Tang's cousin had already had a child of her own with his wife, and Miss Tang was still alone. At the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival, the two met unexpectedly, and learned that Miss Tang was still unmarried, and her cousin's heart was like a hurricane sweeping by, and he suddenly forgot that he had already become a father and a husband, and immediately promised Miss Tang that she would definitely welcome her. ”

"Since it's hard to give up, welcome it." Gu Changfeng said lightly.

"That's what the husband thinks?" Yan Suwen narrowed his eyes.

"It's better than two people being burned at the stake."

"This is true, it is better to die than to live, but what is clear to outsiders, the person concerned may not be able to figure it out. Miss Tang's cousin-in-law, that is, the lady Xiu had vaguely heard about the two before marrying Miss Tang's cousin, and this lady was the same as me, a woman who didn't want to share her husband with others. She gave two choices, either her husband and Miss Tang were cut in two, or she took a letter of divorce and returned her to her parents' house directly. Miss Tang's cousin wanted to choose the latter, but his father and mother were unwilling, not to mention that there were interests, a future, and a young child involved. Based on the above reasons, Miss Tang's cousin can only choose to elope with Miss Tang. ”

"Private meeting is a felony!"

"It was indeed a felony, so Miss Tang and her cousin were tied up and burned at the stake. It is said that on the day of the execution, there was a huge crowd of people, shoulder to shoulder, and there was a lot of uproar. Miss Tang and his cousin were both withered and embarrassed. But the strange thing is that both of them look calm, and they don't seem to feel ugly or ashamed because they are tied up, and they don't feel the fear and anxiety of facing death. ”

"Were they burned to death?"

Miss Tang was burned to death, but Miss Tang's cousin was put down unharmed. The reason is that his wife begged for him, and pushed everything on Miss Tang. Everyone on the lookers knew that it was Miss Tang who came here, not her cousin who went to her hometown to look for her. It seems to be clear who is bewitching whom. Miss Tang didn't explain much, and just looked at her cousin in silence from beginning to end. ”

"Didn't her cousin try to save her?"

"There should be, but I don't have the courage. Man is a very strange animal, when two people are hanging there, it seems that no one is afraid of life and death, but when one of them escapes death, he no longer has the courage to face death. Miss Tang was burned alive in all kinds of ugly accusations, while his cousin seemed to have only had nightmares for a few nights, and the following days were still the same as before. ”

"It's over?"

"No, no. On the first anniversary of Miss Tang's burning, Miss Tang's cousin's house caught fire. The fire burned for a day and a night, and when the fire was extinguished the next day, everyone realized that all the people were locked up in the same room, and they were all tied to wooden shelves. Everyone felt scared, and they all said that Miss Tang came back for revenge. In addition to the similarity of being burned to death, there is another point, that is, Miss Tang's cousin and the child born to her cousin's cousin were not found at the scene of the fire. ”

"They escaped."

"Miss Tang's cousin did escape, and he went to Yanjiazhuang, where he became the old man who told me stories in Zhuangzi. Because of this fire, he lost everything, he didn't know who he should hate, and who to blame, so in all kinds of self-blame, a person boiled from green silk to white hair. He had also sought out his child, but there was no news, and there was speculation that perhaps the child was relatively young and had been burned to ashes by the fire. ”
