Noon. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Under the anticipation of everyone, Shangguan Xiu finally appeared.

He followed the wall of people lined up by the wind army and walked straight to a platform in the middle of the square. This platform was built improvised, more than two meters high, and a number of officials such as Liu Yun, the county guard, and Matt, the deputy county guard, sat on it.

Seeing that Shangguan Xiu had arrived, everyone stood up in unison, took the initiative to greet them, bowed down, and said in unison: "My lord!"

Shangguan Xiu waved his hand to everyone, then turned around and looked down at the audience, and was greeted by a crowd of people who could not be seen at a glance. Although so many people gathered at the scene, there was no sound.

Liu Yun walked to Shangguan Xiu's side and asked in a low voice, "My lord, I have drafted an announcement from Xiaguan, do you want to ...... it?"

It is said to be an announcement, but it is actually a letter of apology. Shangguan Xiu smiled indifferently, waved his hand and said, "No need." He looked around at the Fengren and Besa people in the audience, took a deep breath, and said in a loud voice: "I am Shangguan Xiu." ”

He didn't shout hoarsely, but his voice drifted far away, and most of the people in the square could hear him clearly. At the same time, there were also people in the crowd who knew Fengyu and Besa languages, translating Shangguan Xiu's words into Besa languages.

Wow –

There was a buzz of discussion from the originally silent audience. Shangguan Xiu's reputation is very great, but not many people have really seen him, whether it is the people of the Besa tribe or the people of the Feng tribe. Kneel and beg for a hundred eyes to sing

What is surprising to people is that Shangguan Xiu is so young, he looks like a young man in his early twenties, but the strange thing is that his sideburns are silvery-white, and he looks childish, giving people a very strong sense of contrast.

"A few days ago, I accidentally killed a citizen of my country because I listened to the villain's words, and I would like to solemnly apologize to my people. While speaking, Shangguan Xiu shook the sleeves of his robe and bowed deeply to the crowd in the audience.

The chatter at the scene subsided, and soon became quiet again.

Xin Jicheng, who was in the crowd, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said in a low voice with a smile: "Shangguan Xiu is shrewd, he only said that he killed a countryman by mistake, but did not specify which nationality it is, so his apology may be an apology to the Fengren, not to the Besa people." ”

Xin Jiyao didn't think so, she rolled her eyes, and said thoughtfully: "This, maybe this is Shangguan Xiu's cleverness! Now the focus of the contradiction between the Feng people and the Besa people is that the Feng people don't regard the Besa people as their own people, and the Besa people can't find a sense of belonging in the Windy Country." Shangguan Xiu is saying this now, undoubtedly accepting the Besa people of Beijun as the people of the Wind Country, and he is giving the Besa people a sense of belonging!"

Xin Jicheng subconsciously frowned, turned his head to look at the surrounding Besa people, and saw that people were all looking at Shangguan Xiu on the stage intently, and the anger in their eyes was gradually dissipating, replaced by confusion, puzzlement and surprise.

No wonder Xiaomei regards Shangguan Xiu as a fierce rival, this person is really not simple!

Soon, some people in the audience shouted loudly and dissatisfiedly: "The Besa people are not the wind people! The adults should not call the Besa people Chinese!" "The adults should drive the Besa people out of the wind country!" "Kill all the Besa people!" ......

With the shouts of the wind people, there began to be a commotion in the audience, and many Besa people shouted and scolded loudly in Besa language.

Shangguan Xiu straightened up, took a few steps to the side of the stage, and said: "Beijun has never been a barren place, there are many Besa people, who have lived here for generations, their home is in Beijun, their roots are also in Beijun, for them, we Feng Clan are outsiders. ”

His words made the noise below gradually fade down. Especially the Besa people present, many of them had wet red eyes. Shangguan Xiu's words can be regarded as speaking their hearts, their ancestors have lived in Naxikeya for generations, living and working in peace and contentment, but the Feng people suddenly came and seized their land and assets, and indiscriminately wanted to drive them all away and kill them all, and which of the people of the Besa tribe was not full of sadness and grief?

Shangguan Xiu continued: "Now, the Besa people have accepted us Feng Clan, and why can't we Feng Clan accept the Besa people?

The people of the Feng Clan in the audience looked at each other, and finally lowered their heads and said nothing.

"Those Besa people who are loyal to the country of Bessa and would rather die than be the wind people, have already migrated to the interior of the country of Bessa and are still willing to stay in the north county, they are all willing to be the wind people, why can't we accept them? From now on, all the people of the wind tribe and the people of the Besa tribe who live in the north county are all people of the wind country, and they all enjoy equal treatment in the north county, this is not a request, but a decree of the imperial court, if there is any disobedience, they should be dealt with according to law. Of course, the first person who should be dealt with according to the law is me. ”

While speaking, Shangguan Xiu raised his hand to unbutton his collar and took off the leather he was wearing, and then unbuttoned his coat and took off his coat, wearing only the white middle coat inside.

"Because of my fault, an innocent Besa citizen was killed, and today, I am willing to accept the punishment!" he said, walking to the wooden frame that had already been erected on the stage, grasping a beam with both hands, and turning back to a gendarme armed with a whip, and said, "You will carry out the execution!"

The gendarme looked at Shangguan Xiu, who had his back to him, and then at the whip in his hand, and couldn't help grinning secretly, he felt that what he was holding in his hand was not a leather whip, but a hot potato. He stammered, "Big ...... Adult ......"

"I'll let you be executed, this is a military order!" Shangguan Xiutou didn't reply, and said categorically.

The gendarme hesitated for another moment, took a deep breath, walked behind Shangguan Xiu, and slowly raised the whip in his hand, but he didn't wait for the fight to continue.

"What are you waiting for, hurry up!" Shangguan Xiu urged in an unkind tone. The gendarme did not dare to delay any longer and threw out the whip he had raised.

This whip is being whipped on Shangguan Xiu's back. The scene was in an uproar. No one expected that Shangguan Xiu was really not pretending, he was really whipped in public.

Tang Ling in the church building stood motionless, and the expression on her face did not change, but if you look closely, you will find that her fists are clenched, and the joints of her fingers are also white.

After the first whipping, the gendarme took a closer look at Shangguan Xiu and saw that he was not unusual, so he threw out a second whip.

Shangguan Xiu, who was facing away from him, frowned, straightened his bowed figure, turned around, glared at the gendarme, and asked angrily: "Haven't you eaten enough?

"Oh, my lord, I ......"

"If you want to hurt me and get a few more lashes, just be merciful. Shangguan Xiu stared at him coldly, then turned away again.

This time, the gendarme didn't dare to show mercy any longer, and he said in a trembling voice: "Adult, villain...... The villain has been offended!" After speaking, he used all his strength and whipped it.

This crisp sound was several times louder than the whip just now, and when this whip went down, there was an extra blood mark on the middle coat behind Shangguan Xiu, and his body was shocked, and his teeth bit his lower lip tightly.

He sighed and said without looking back, "That's it, go on!"

Smack, smack, smack!

The gendarmes, who did not dare to show mercy to their subordinates, picked up their whips, and almost all of them were bloody. After thirty lashes, the original white color of the middle shirt behind Shangguan Xiu could no longer be seen, and it was full of blood marks.

On the stage, Liu Yun and the others, who were close at hand, could see clearly, and people invariably surrounded Shangguanxiu, Liu Yun whispered while wiping the cold sweat on his forehead: "My lord, it's already thirty whips, it's almost enough!"

Shangguan Xiuqiang endured the burning pain behind his back, glared at Liu Yun, and said in a deep voice: "I said two hundred lashes, it is two hundred lashes, get out of the way!"

"Adult ......"

"I said get out of the way!" Shangguan Xiu didn't look at Liu Yun again, turned around and shouted, "Go on!"

The tortured Shangguan Xiu saw cold sweat on his head, and the gendarme who was executed had more cold sweat on his face than him, and beads of sweat the size of beans continued to drip down his cheeks.

He continued to whip and whip. After fifty lashes, a strip of rag flew into the air with almost every lash. The middle clothes behind Shangguan Xiu have all been shredded, and the entire back is drenched in blood, and the body is incomplete.

Tang Ling in the church tower couldn't stand it anymore at this time, her face turned pale, she turned back, glared at everyone present, and asked, "Why are you still fighting?" Didn't I already say that only ten lashes are enough!"

Meng Qiuchen bowed down and said: "Adults have always done what they say, and if adults say two hundred lashes, it must be two hundred lashes!"

"Two hundred lashes can kill people, don't you know?" Tang Ling was angry and anxious. She couldn't bear to look at it anymore, the whip was whipped on Shangguan Xiu's body, she felt no different from whipping on herself, but she couldn't suppress the concern in her heart, and her eyes fell on the platform in the square again.

After the hundred lashes, the blood flowing from Shangguan Xiu's back stained the pants underneath red, even if he held on to the beam of the wooden frame, he couldn't stand, his legs were weak, and he couldn't help but kneel on one knee.

Liu Yun, Matt and others stepped forward to help, Shangguan Xiu waved his hand suddenly, and shouted, "Go away!"

He took back the saber hanging from his ribs and pulled off the sheath with it, and supported the ground with the sword, so that his kneeling body would not fall.

This situation and this scene made the people of the two ethnic groups present all moved, and the people who began to think that Shangguan Xiu was just acting are now shut up, the injuries on his back, it is not fake, it is seen with people's own eyes, and it is pulled out with a whip.

But after the hundred whips, the skin and flesh behind Shangguan Xiu were about to be smashed, but he didn't say a word from beginning to end, this kind of endurance and endurance was enough to make everyone present admire and marvel in their hearts.

In the audience, the first to kneel were the people of the Besa tribe.

As the crowd in front knelt down, the people of the Besa tribe in the back also knelt on the ground, and people took the initiative to intercede: "We have all seen the remorse of the adults, and the adults don't have to be punished anymore!" "Your Excellency, take care!"

Even in the country of Besa, it is not uncommon for nobles to kill commoners, and afterwards, the nobles are at best to accompany some money, find some high-sounding reasons and excuses, and then it will be gone, like Shangguanxiu, the duke is willing to be punished for the commoners, it has never happened, it has never happened. The reason for such a big mess this time is that the focus of the contradiction is not the inequality between the nobility and the commoners, but the inequality between races.

I am a commoner, you are a nobleman, if you bully me, I will endure it, but everyone is a commoner, why should I swallow my anger and be bullied by you? This is where the knot of the people of the Besa tribe lies.

Now that Shangguan Xiu, as the Duke of the Wind Clan, is being punished for the unjustly killed Besa civilians, which is enough to untie this knot in the hearts of the Besa people.

It can be said that Shangguan Xiu's concession not only made people despise him, but also allowed him to establish a very high prestige and prestige in the minds of the people of Beijun. No matter how many Besa people died in the hands of Shangguan Xiu, but at least in the eyes of the Besa people in Bei County, Shangguan Xiu is a minister of the Wind Country who can really think about them, if he has three longs and two shorts, I am afraid that no one in the court of the Wind Country will be willing to speak for them anymore.
