Chapter 071: Absurd Verdict
Uncle Yu was furious, his voice changed tone, and he shouted: "Beat five people into the sinkhole!
In the history of the Hu'an Palace, there has never been such a big effort to kill, and the head fell to the ground at the sound of an order, this time for the trial of the five Chu people instead made a long-skinned mouse, the people present, including the people who eat human flesh outside, the vast majority of them can't understand, and they don't need to understand, they feel that the sun in the sky is like being hit by the enemy's witchcraft, motionless, and time flies too slowly. Only Yu Chang and a few others can see clearly: it is not so much a trial of criminals as acting. But who is it for, no one will say it smartly. Yu Chang secretly let out a long sigh, feeling that he was also guilty.
As soon as the verdict was announced, there was silence, the air condensed, and everyone was terrified. It turns out that entering a sinkhole is the most cruel criminal law in the region, and no one has been beaten into a sinkhole for decades. Today, when Uncle Yu broke this sentence again, everyone was frightened and frightened.
At this moment, only a female voice came from the door of the inner sanctum: "Wait!", and only then did she enter the hall, and a woman of thirty-five or sixteen years old came out of it. Wu Zhen saw that she was in a small figure, with red face and white teeth, abnormal beauty, elegant gait, and a kind of all-talking, but also a little nervous.
It turned out to be the son of the sword and the head of the guards of the Hu'an Palace, and when he saw that someone accused Deng Lu of being a fine work of the Chu State, he was shocked and thought: "Menglong often says that he has three mentors, one witch, one martial artist and one soldier, Deng Lu is his master of the art of war, how can he allow others to frame him? Only Menglong can save him." But at this time, Menglong is not in the Hu'an Palace, if he doesn't make a move in time, his head will fall to the ground, and there will be no chance." It suddenly occurred to me: "Only Madame can save it". Moreover, he has always had some opinions about Xiangshan Ren Zhongqing, so he hurried to see his wife. Mrs. Gu was waiting for the verdict in the garden with Mengyu and the maids, someone had already sent her a message, her heart was more anxious than the ants on the hot pot, the surface was calm, waiting for the announcement of the result, she was the only Hu'anshan person who had no interest in eating human flesh at this moment, and when she heard the exact news reported by Gu Qinglai, she was shocked, and she didn't care about the etiquette rules, and hurried to the main hall, just in time to hear Uncle Yu shouting: "Hit the sinkhole!"
Mrs. Yu entered the main hall and said three or two words to Uncle Yu who did not know anything. Uncle Gu's face turned blue and white for a while, and then he said to everyone: "According to the rules, the little witch of the Wu clan will be punished in the palace as a slave forever, and the other three will be sent into the sinkhole!" After a pause, he said: "Reading Deng Lu to teach Menglong the art of war is meritorious, and he will be meticulously made by Deng Lu and assigned to Dingjiagou in Jinba Mountain!"
The crowd listened and reacted differently. The goal of kindness was achieved, but at this time, he was a little sympathetic to Deng Lu, he didn't think that this Chu person was a big evil person with sores on his body and pus on his head. Everyone was forbidden. Before the words fell, the warrior took Wu Zhen away.
The verdict spread out of the palace like a strong wind, and the samurai took the mother and son away and sent them to the Tiankeng prison camp to be punished, and the samurai took Wu Ni away. A family of four parted in an instant, life and death, and it was too late to make a deathbed parting speech.
Those who were waiting outside the Hu'an Palace to eat human flesh and drink human blood, heard that the assassin had been beaten into the sinkhole, and they were thunderous with joy, and they all thought that they should be punished in this way. The people of Chu were duly punished, arousing the desire of the Ba people to fight and win, and I don't know who started it, and everyone shouted:
Towering Lingshan, fierce tiger.
The strong captives are endless, and the bloody battles are endless!
The cries were louder and louder.
The samurai took Deng Lu on the spot and had to send it to the noodles first. Yu Chang hurriedly said: "Yi Jun, the old man has something to say. Uncle Yu nodded reluctantly.
Yu Chang said: "Chu people Deng Lu is unforgivable. However, there is a courtesy saying: corporal punishment is not up to the doctor. Although Deng Lu is only a guest secretary, he has also been an official in the Chu State, and he should also obey this courtesy. In the early years, the people of Zhongshan committed crimes, and the ancestor of the clan, Wuzi, was exempted from his punishment. Moreover, Deng Lu is the master of Menglong Gongzi after all, and he is famous and shared, if he is embarrassed, Yu Gongzi's reputation will be damaged, and he will ask for mercy. ”
Qi Rui also said: "Master Yu uses history as evidence, and his words are reasonable. ”
What Wu Wuzi did is an example, Yu Yu is not easy to refute, and seeing that Yu Rui also spoke, he was allowed not to be tortured. On the same day, Deng Lu was escorted to Dingjiagou in Jinba Mountain.
Nadingjiagou, is a village on the Jinba Mountain, belongs to the Tu clan, surrounded by a vast forest, tigers and wolves are packed, there are wild people coming and going from time to time, there are legends and monsters, known as one of the five desperate realms of the Zhai family.
To put it bluntly, Dingjiagou is an open-air prison with towering trees and beautiful scenery. The prisoners exiled to Dingjiagou were routinely supervised and supervised by the Ding clan's grandson clan, and they were happy to have more exiles to be slaves, except for a very small number of people respected by the Tu clan and their Ding people, who had the opportunity to become Dingjiagou's guests, and the vast majority of them became slaves of Dingjiagou, and they had to die of exhaustion or forgive their sins and leave two ways. Even if they are lucky enough to be the guests of Dingjiagou, the privileges they get are only relatively free, and they don't have to worry about eating and drinking, but it is more difficult to get out of the mountains than to ascend to the sky, and the people of Dingjiagou will never exchange the braincase of the whole clan for the freedom of an exile, they have secret methods to monitor exiles and ruthless methods to deal with escapees, which are more new and ruthless than treating people who were born as slaves to them. Hu'an Palace has to go to someone to inspect the exile once a year, and if a sinner dies, Hu'an Palace people will go to Hu'an Palace once more. It is better to die than to live, and very few people who are exiled to Dingjiagou escape, they know that if they are not accompanied by dozens of people, they will either get lost and starve to death, or be buried in the belly of beasts, or be killed by savages; at the same time, once they escape and are caught, they will quickly be divided by five horses, and Dingjiagou can easily find five horses of the same color, and then become food for carnivores and scavengers; in addition, the indelible criminal records on their faces make some of them not want to see people outside again.
After the living are disposed of, the dead are disposed of. Uncle Gu and a number of dignitaries, Funiu Mountain Yanquan Bafu came to mourn in person, and Yuhou, Gongjun, the sixth son of the orange capital, and the second son also sent representatives.
If Chunpei, Zhumenglong returned to the hometown halfway to get the news, hurried back to the gate of the gorge, from a distance to see a thick bamboo pole outside the Xiangshi village, hanging a deceased wears clothes, this is the local custom of mourning, called the soul, and the role of the soul flag in later generations is about the same, of course, there must be a difference, the soul flag or has been integrated into the Buddhist things, and the things of the Ba people belong to the pure witch religion.
After the little wizard saw Menglong finish a set of spiritualist movements, he sang a "Spiritualist Song", and cried with tears: "Senior brother is the one who has made meritorious contributions and jointly protected the great years of Hu'anshan. I also learned from others that Deng Lu was exiled to Dingjiagou, and he hated each other very much.
Xiang Yin was the most famous samurai of the Xiang clan in the past dynasties, and was the pride of the Xiang clan, so he first put his body in a cave outside the wall. Three years later, he was buried in a coffin in a cave in the cliff on the shore of the Danfu River with the highest courtesy of the Danfu Warrior - more here later. According to legend, until the Yuan Dynasty, people who crossed the river could still see this half-hung ship coffin, but no record was found, and it was doubtful. This is what later generations called the burial method of "hanging coffin burial". In the Red Circle Gorge of Sinan, there are still the remains of the hanging coffins of the ancestors of Wujiang; in the Bellows Gorge, Daning River, Longchuan River and other places, the hanging coffins of the Ba people can still be seen, and what method they used to hang the coffins on the hanging rock is still a mystery through the ages. Unfortunately, the original book is not recorded in detail.
Uncle Yu deeply blamed Pu Yancang for not governing the army strictly and indulging the mistakes of his subordinates, and wanted to replace him with a kite, so he persuaded him to keep Yancang's position, and punished him for one year and took back a piece of land and more than 10 slaves as a punishment.
When Xiangyin died, his wife was pregnant, and when she got the news, she vomited a mouthful of blood, fainted and fell to the ground, and fell ill. A few months later, her daughter was born, and within half a year, she left her daughter behind and went with her husband. Uncle Yu remembered the grace of saving his life, pity Xiangyin's life experience, and both husband and wife died, his daughter Xiang Yuehong had not yet learned to speak and walk, so that Yuehong was raised in the palace, and arranged for a first-class nurse and nanny, which was almost the same as the treatment of Xiang Mengyu back then, Mrs. Xiang loved her very much----- and she explained it by the way - everything was prepared in detail, not one by one.
