The eighth episode of the Prime Minister's Mansion Turmoil Eight
Feng Bao immediately understood what Empress Dowager Li meant, and left the study with the little emperor's handwritten words "not allowed". The Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces concentrated on appeasing the little emperor, explaining the reason why the matter could not be expanded at this time. The little emperor also knows that this Zou Yunbiao can't die now, but he has a chance, and he must look good with this Zou Yunbiao in the future. Not only this Zou Yunbiao, but even Gao Gong's subordinates, as well as Zou Yunbiao's own brother Zou Yuanbiao, also have to teach a good lesson.
Beating the Dengwen drum is to be beaten, so only in this aspect can Zou Yunbiao suffer a little. Feng Bao called the thugs of the Shen Criminal Division, and intentionally or unintentionally said that the little emperor was angry and cried by Zou Yunbiao. The Shen Penal Division is the servant of the little emperor's royal family, and of course they know how to maintain the image of the master and how to feed the master to get angry. The same 20 boards can make the inmate's skin open, or the inmate's unscathed, and of course, the inmate's surface is not injured and the inmate is seriously injured. However, Feng Bao meant to let Zou Yunbiao not only be injured both inside and outside, but also to make Zou Yunbiao disabled and give everyone a warning. The people from the Criminal Division immediately understood the meaning, and went to get the right tools to meet Zou Yunbiao with Feng Bao.
At the gate of the palace, Zou Yunbiao not only knelt on the ground, but also kept reciting his own recitals in his mouth, so that everyone knew why he did it. Immediately, the content of Zou Yunbiao's recital was known to everyone, and some people even pinched a cold sweat for Zou Yunbiao. Zhang Juzheng even broke several cups at home, and he knew that Zou Yunbiao had completely offended the little emperor and the queen mother of the two palaces. But at this time, Zhang Juzheng not only could not come forward, but also could not dissuade the little emperor, because any move by Zhang Juzheng would cause unnecessary trouble. Zhang Juzheng also knew that Zou Yunbiao would not die, because at this time, even if the little emperor wanted to kill Zou Yunbiao, Empress Dowager Li would stop it. However, Zou Yunbiao's future is ruined, and he may be physically tortured with a flashlight. Zhang Juzheng actually admires Zou Yunbiao's talent and courage in his heart, there are too few people like Zou Yunbiao who are honest and selfless.
Zhang Siwei and others were very happy to receive the news, some were a little unhappy, and a few people began to get busy. Especially Zhang Siwei, the second assistant of the cabinet, originally thought that Zhang Juzheng had failed again in the matter, but he didn't expect Zou Yunbiao to come out like this, not only helped himself, but also gave himself a good opportunity. Zhang Siwei took advantage of Zou Yunbiao's twists and turns and immediately organized his own people to start making a fuss. He knew the temper of the little emperor, even if he didn't kill Zou Yunbiao, he would let people torture Zou Yunbiao fiercely. Zhang Siwei used this opportunity not only to win over some centrists who were dissatisfied with Zhang Juzheng, but also to weaken the prestige of the little emperor. Therefore, Zhang Siwei not only mobilized his own people, but also began to secretly contact some allies to wait for the development of the situation and wait for an opportunity. Tan Lun was very angry, and scolded Zou Yunbiao for being a stupid idiot, if he discussed it, he would never agree to Zou Yunbiao doing this. Zou Yunbiao not only played no role, but also gave Zhang Siwei and others a chance, which made the little emperor and Zhang Juzheng hate the people of the old forces of Gaogong. Zou Yunbiao is Tan Lun's little junior brother, and Tan Lun is even more worried about what torture this little junior brother Zou Yunbiao will receive.
When Feng Bao came to the gate of the palace, he heard Zou Yunbiao still reciting the content of his recital, and he knew that something was wrong. Feng Bao stopped Zou Yunbiao from continuing to recite the fold, and at the same time returned the fold to Zou Yunbiao. Zou Yunbiao looked at the two words that were a little open, and knew in his heart that the little emperor was not only very angry but also very dissatisfied. But he still asked Feng Bao to give him a reason, why didn't the emperor summon him? Why didn't the emperor agree to this recital? Feng Baocai won't explain much to him, he can't say that the little emperor wants to kill when he sees this Zou Yunbiao. Feng Bao said with a cold face that the consequence of beating the Dengwen drum was Zou Yunbiao, the staff in public.
According to the rules of beating the drum, Zou Yunbiao had to accept the punishment of twenty court rods. The four torture masters of the Prudent Criminal Division stood at four corners, Feng Bao, who presided over the court staff, stood directly in front of Zou Yunbiao, and the two executors stood on the left and right sides of Zou Yunbiao with two red and black ruthless sticks. The four assistants each took a wooden stick more than two meters long and set up Zou Yunbiao, who had stripped the official mansion, in order to prevent Zou Yunbiao from resisting or struggling. Zou Yunbiao, who holds his limbs like this, not only can't move but also can't dodge, which is also skillful. If it is raised a little higher, and the inertia is used to unload the force on the four sticks, the victim will suffer less. If the lower point is lowered, the inmate will not only have to endure the pain of being knocked down from the upper panel, but also the torture of four wooden sticks bouncing up. If the person who sets up the stick puts the stick directly on the ground, the inmate will not suffer three times every time he hits, the principle is like slapping the ball, slapping the shock and rebounding force several times, no wonder the court stick is played slowly, that is, the inmate can fully feel the pain of the rebound.
Not only do people who set up sticks have skills, but also those who beat people need skills. They are all veterans for several years, and they can practice to the level of hurting skin without hurting bones, and not hurting skin and breaking muscles and bones. Qin Tai once heard Feng Bao say that the people of the Shen Criminal Division used to practice with tofu, and the two executors took turns to make a big piece of tofu twenty times, but the result looked like they hit hard but the tofu was not broken at all. On another occasion, the executor practiced heavy hands and put a blank piece of paper on a piece of pork, and the executor took turns to beat forty times. As a result, the white paper was not broken, and the pork underneath had turned into minced meat. Feng Bao told Qin Taiguo that the stick had water chestnut horns, and if he hit someone with water chestnut, the prisoner would either die or be injured, and even the most powerful tricks could not find out the cause of death.
According to the rules of the cane, the inmate's head and important parts of the lower body cannot be hit, and the executor generally hits the inmate's back, buttocks and thighs. Not only are there a lot of meat in these places, but they also don't hurt the internal organs, so ordinary court canes can't kill people. Civil officials are even more proud to be able to stand on the court staff, and every civil official who is court cane is like being rewarded. Zou Yunbiao was not in this mood, because he knew that he had completely offended the little emperor and the royal family. Gao Gong used to be familiar with the eunuchs, and knew the mysteries inside the court staff. Gao Gong said more than once in his hometown that the court staff is not fun, and if he becomes an official in the future, he will definitely not be able to take the court staff. Gao Gong knew that Zhang Juzheng and the little emperor hated Gao Gong and his faction, but he was worried that someone would take advantage of the opportunity of the court staff to retaliate, but he didn't expect that this time Zou Yunbiao would send it to the door by himself.
The two executors looked at Feng Bao, then walked to Zou Yunbiao's side and looked at Zou Yunbiao, who couldn't move. A relatively young one said in a voice that only he and Zou Yunbiao could hear: "Offended." The first five boards are what we serve you. It's a reward for what you do today. The fifth board is our reward on behalf of the Long Live Lord. The last ten boards are the meaning of Long Live Lord. You're always ready. Zou Yunbiao didn't have time to comprehend the meaning, and his whole body hurt.
The five boards in front of Zou Yunbiao were beaten so that the skin was open and the flesh was dripping. From the sixth board to the tenth board, it does not hurt the skin but only the internal organs, and it is estimated that Zou Yunbiao's internal injuries will not be healed without a year and a half. The last ten boards hit Zou Yunbiao's thigh, Zou Yunbiao felt a pain in his heart, but he couldn't faint. This is Feng Bao's meaning, Zou Yunbiao must not be allowed to faint, and Zou Yunbiao must be allowed to endure twenty boards alive.
Zou Yunbiao finally understood what the executor meant. The first five boards are that the executors are angry, their master is humiliated, of course they want to take revenge on Zou Yunbiao, so Zou Yunbiao is broken. The five boards in the back are the meaning of the little emperor, who can't kill Zou Yunbiao, and will make Zou Yunbiao suffer in bed for a year and a half. The last ten boards are the meaning of the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces and Feng Bao and others, not only to make Zou Yunbiao feel pain, but also to make Zou Yunbiao and others feel powerful. It is estimated that Zou Yunbiao's legs will be seriously injured constantly, anyway, he will have to lie in bed for a year and a half, and it will be the same if he keeps breaking.
There is a number of people next to the executor, counting the number of boards played by the executor. When the number of people reported reached "eighteen", the two executors looked at each other and immediately understood their respective meanings. The board is still the board, and the person who beats it is still Zou Yunbiao, but the angle of the stick has changed. The end of the stick held in the executor's hand is round, and the side of Zou Yunbiao is square. When he beat someone, he hit the inmate's Zou Yunbiao with a plane. But the last two blows were struck downwards with the sharp corners of the stick. This time, even the counting people on the side heard the sound of Zou Yunbiao's leg bone breaking. But Zou Yunbiao couldn't scream, because the two assistants who used wooden sticks to support their arms used wooden sticks to press against Zou Yunbiao's ribs, so that Zou Yunbiao couldn't scream. The last two broke Zou Yunbiao's two thigh bones, which was equivalent to breaking Zou Yunbiao's legs.
Feng Bao also knew the result of Zou Yunbiao, and ordered Zou Yunbiao to be dragged away as if he didn't know that Zou Yunbiao had fainted. Zou Yunbiao's injury was immediately spread, and Zhang Siwei had already sent someone to prepare a doctor, waiting for this opportunity to see Zou Yunbiao. The doctor only diagnosed Zou Yunbiao's injuries, but did not treat Zou Yunbiao. This is also arranged by Zhang Siwei, he just wants Zou Yunbiao to continue, and Zou Yunbiao is his living signboard or tool. Immediately, some righteous people and some people with ulterior motives joined forces, and they wanted to seek justice for Zou Yunbiao. They didn't go to the little emperor, but to Zhang Juzheng, who had never come out. They believe that this incident was caused by Zhang Juzheng's unwillingness to worry about it, and Zhang Juzheng is the most critical person. They want Zhang Juzheng to come out and talk about it, and they also want Zhang Juzheng to bear all the responsibility for the consequences of Zou Yunbiao. At first, there were only a dozen people, but later more and more people joined, and even some students of Guozijian joined the team. Everyone walked to Zhang Juzheng's mansion and asked Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the cabinet, to give a positive answer.
