The boards of the Great Zhou Dynasty, also known as the court staff, are all particular about fighting, respectively "fighting", "playing hard" and "playing with heart".

"Fighting" is to hit the skin and flesh, a stick down the skin to open the flesh, but not hurt the muscles and bones, ten days and half a month can be good;

"Really beaten" means hitting on the bones, and a few sticks will surely cripple people;

"Beating with heart" is a death rod, and the beaten person often does not even have obvious scars, and the internal organs are broken, and he will definitely die;

From Xianfu Palace to Wumen, along the way, Grandpa Zhang and Bai Yi introduced the difference between these statements.

"Don't feel wronged, if your mother is willing to beat you, she will look up to you and cultivate you. Who doesn't look forward to being looked at by our mother, you, blessed! ”

Bai Yi was so angry that he couldn't speak.

If it weren't for the fact that he was involved with Qu Guifei because of this matter, he wouldn't have bothered to stop the medicine, and ended up like this.

But no matter what, I must find a way to meet Bai Ling recently and tell her about it in person.

The drug abuse in this palace is simply shocking!

As when he came, he was carried by the guards by the shoulders and carried out of the noon gate, which was the outermost part of the palace, where he would beat people, and the ghosts and wolves would not dirty the ears of the nobles inside.

Those who are beaten there and killed can also be directly thrown to their families to collect their bodies.

Approaching the place of execution, Bai Yi saw rows of wooden sticks leaning against the wall—each two meters high.

Some are thin wooden round sticks, which are generally thick at the top and bottom;

Some of the upper part is also a round stick, which is easy to grasp by the beater, and the lower part is a flat plank;

Others, in the lower part, are square-shaped sticks;

Approximately each has its own use......

Bai Yi's original anger had disappeared by this time, and he couldn't help but stand up when he looked at these wooden staffs. It was close to the palace walls, shaded, and there was a faint smell of blood in the air.

"Let's wait a minute, I see there are still people in front of me, let's not go and join in the fun." Gonggong Zhang turned around and said to the guards behind him.

The escort stopped.

At this moment, two guards carrying iron buckets passed by them. Bai Yi watched them carry the bucket to a short distance, and rushed the water towards a low stone platform with a bang.

The water washed over, and by the time it reached the ground, it was already red.

Even though he was used to seeing life and death in his previous life, when he saw this scene, Bai Yi still felt that his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

In the distance, a familiar voice came.

"What is the reason for the short-sightedness of the concubine, you say it again?"

Bai Yi followed the sound, and only then did he find that at the other end of the palace wall, the great eunuch Yuan Zhen was standing with his hands in his hands.

In front of him, there were a group of courtiers in official uniforms, not more than twenty, but more than a dozen.

At Yuan Zhen's feet, a young official was lurking.

"The mother gave birth to the dragon heir, and then ...... Doing resentful things, it can be seen that she is light and has no ...... The virtue of the posterior. ”

The official said, looking up at Yuan Zhen. The corners of his mouth were bloody, the veins on his forehead were bulging, his eyes were bloodshot, and his face was flushed, for fear that he had already been tortured before he was dragged here.

"You are waiting for the eunuchs...... So rampant, in fact, the misfortune of my Great Zhou......"

When Yuan Zhen heard this, a smile appeared on his face.

He leaned over slowly and whispered in the young official's ear, "Madame Zun only gave birth to a big fat boy last month, and today, it's time to go home and drink full moon wine with your old father and mother." Master Li, you say you, why bother? ”

The young official's breath stagnated, and two lines of turbid tears flowed.

"I'm ...... Historian of the Great Zhou. He slowly lowered his head, "I'll only write...... What I've seen and heard. ”

Yuan Zhen's eyes suddenly became a little melancholy, he stood up and whispered to the execution guard behind him, "A total of eighty boards, give me use, heart, and beat." ”

After the first rod was down, the officer's eyes never closed again.

The stout wooden staff did not stop, still hitting the flesh and bones one by one, and it was a dull and short sound.

No wailing, no shouting, nothing, just a sound, a dull and short blow of the cane.

Eighty boards, in Bai Yi's eyes, are like playing for a hundred years.

"Alright." Yuan Zhen suddenly said sharply, and several guards immediately stopped—no more, no less, exactly eighty strokes, "Drag it down." ”

The two men stepped forward, each dragging one of the official's sleeves and walking out. Wherever the dark cyan robe passed, a long blood band was printed.

"Listen," Yuan Zhen opened his mouth to the courtiers kneeling behind, "Relying on the emperor's virtue as heaven, today Liuer and other lives, each of them will be taken back and rewritten, and they will be handed over tomorrow when they go to court." ”

The palace man on the side bowed forward and threw a stack full of folds on the ground.

"Go~" Yuan Zhen gave an order, and then took the people back and returned. When passing by Bai Yi's side, Yuan Zhen didn't look at him, but Bai Yi could already smell the shallow fishy wind he brought.

Everyone dispersed, Bai Yi took off his shirt and lay on the washed low stone slab, the sticks fell down one by one, leaving chaotic blood marks on his back, each blow brought a ferocious stabbing burn, and then the severe pain quickly spread to the whole back.

But he didn't shout.

The twenty sticks were quickly finished, and Bai Yi quickly got up and went to the ground and put his clothes back on.

"Is that all right?" He asked in a low voice.

"yes, alright." Father-in-law Zhang nodded, seeing that Bai Yi's face was white at the moment, he couldn't help but say, "Seeing that you still have some skills, I also remind you, that scene just now is commonplace in the palace, next time you encounter something, don't be as impulsive as today." ”

Bai Yi nodded, turned around and walked in the direction of the Tai Hospital.

The steps under his feet became faster and faster, and at last he almost ran.

He had underestimated it so much that when the curtain crept open a corner, revealing a little bit of ferocity behind it, he suddenly felt a strong discomfort.

Bai Yi ran wildly all the way, and finally came to the palace alley where the Tai Hospital was located, he held on to the wall and gasped, sweating on his back, and the wound hurt like a heart.

It's only been half a day since I entered the palace.

The palace people of Xianfu Palace had already sent the four taels of tea leaves from Nanjun to Bai Shijun's desk a moment ago, and in front of all the imperial doctors on duty at this moment, they praised "Bai Taiyi taught a good son", Wang Jixuan was dumbfounded, but he couldn't say anything.

It wasn't until Bai Yi came back that Bai Shijun didn't know what had happened in such a short period of time.

He took his son to the clinic in the middle to take medicine, Bai Yi bit the gauze without saying a word, and asked his father to wipe the broken wound with white wine and disinfect it.

"What do you want to do with the tea?"

"I don't want to drink it anyway." Bai Yi replied vaguely.

This straightforward, "hit a stick to a date" wrist, not only did not make him have the slightest obedience to that mother, but aroused a strong disgust in his heart, he turned around, took off the gauze in his mouth, and looked at his father seriously, "Dad, I'm so worried about Bai Ling's side, is there any way to know her news over there?" ”

Bai Shijun stopped his movements and said in a low voice, "It's only been half a day...... Don't worry, no news, it's good news. ”
