Chapter 37: The Lord
This was unexpected by everyone, and no one present expected that Mo Qian would suffer on behalf of his uncle.
"Lord, no, the forty boards are not a joke, the lord can't!" Cao Guoqi was the first to stand up against it.
Cheng Zhidun also hurriedly persuaded when he saw it: "Lord, you can't make such a joke!" ”
Mo Qian's face darkened, "Am I joking?" Officer, don't do it yet! ”
Where did the official dare to get off the board and beat Mo Qian, he really wanted to beat the board down, I was afraid that he would have to take the board tomorrow.
The officials did not dare to move, so they could only stand there with water and fire sticks.
At this time, the city keeper who happened to hear the news rushed Lu Zhao and Qian Dayou, the county lieutenant in charge of the security of the city.
As soon as Lu Zhao heard what had happened, he rushed over non-stop, and just saw Mo Qian lying on the bench ready to be tortured.
"Lord, lord, I can't help it, I can't help it, I can't play around with these forty boards, and if I don't get it, I will kill people, these forty boards, I will be punished for the lord!"
Saying that, Lu Zhao wanted to pull Mo Qian up.
Unexpectedly, Mo Qian didn't give him any face, he shook off Lu Zhao's hand and said: "What's the matter with you, the person who broke the law is not your relative, you come to suffer for me, what is this called, retreat!" ”
Lu Zhao had no choice but to dodge and walk away, and Mo Qian saw Qian Dayou standing behind him.
"There's a lot of money, you come to execute!" Mo Qian has a great deal of money to do.
"There's a lot of money, how dare you? Do you know what this crime is? Cao Guoqi was the first to jump out and object.
Qian Dayou originally wanted to come to advise Mo Qian, but as soon as he arrived, Mo Qian named him to execute.
When Cao Guoqi heard this, he hurriedly shouted and stopped Qian Dayou, this kid has great strength, if he really wants him to hit forty boards, he will have to die here on the spot.
Qian Dayou couldn't advance or retreat for a while, so he could only stand in place in a daze.
At this time, suddenly another wave of people came from the city, it was Wang Bingzhong, the new Wanzai Zhi County who had not yet taken office.
As soon as Wang Bingzhong heard that someone was making trouble at the city gate, he immediately rushed over, and when he saw this posture, he was immediately confused.
He asked his colleague Cao Guoqi: "What's going on?" ”
Cao Guoqi informed Wang Bingzhong of the ins and outs of the matter.
After listening to this, Wang Bingzhong praised: "The lord is really the master, whether it is governing the army or the people, the most important thing is a public word."
If you can't do this public word, it will be difficult for the people to collect, and it will be difficult for the army to unify, and the lord will do this, which not only fulfills his filial piety, but also allows the people and soldiers to see the lord's public heart, which is so real and commendable! ”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but nod their heads frequently, and they thought it was true in their hearts.
But although the words are right, these forty boards still can't be played.
If you really want to beat the lord to death, or beat him half to death, then this righteous army will not be led by anyone, and it will not be easy to cause chaos.
Wang Bingzhong also felt that this board couldn't be beaten, but now Mo Qian had to fight.
All of a sudden, everyone was at the gate of the city, causing the people who wanted to leave the city and enter the city to be blocked at the gate, and the number of people at the gate of the city suddenly increased.
The people watched the excitement one after another, and the officials beat themselves on the street, which has not been seen for decades.
At this time, Cao Guoqi and Cheng Zhidun and other subordinates were in a hurry.
Mo Qian is the leader of the righteous army, if he is hit by these forty boards today, it will be bed rest for a few months, or he will die on the spot!
This board, the lord must not suffer!
But now Mo Qian is there again, no matter how they persuade him, Mo Qian just won't get down from the bench.
Just when everyone was at a loss, Yang Suxin, who came to join in the fun, whispered in Wang Bingzhong's ear: "Lord Wang, I have a way to keep Brother Mo from being beaten. ”
When Wang Bingzhong heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Is there any way to say it quickly." ”
Yang Suxin pointed to Mo Huan behind Mo Yuanwu and said, "I think that person is very similar to Brother Mo's uncle, and eighty percent is Brother Mo's cousin...."
Before Yang Suxin finished finishing the rest of the words, Wang Bingzhong clapped his hands and praised: "Miss Suxin is really helpful!" ”
Wang Bingzhong immediately walked up to Mo Yuanwu's family of three and asked Mo Huan behind him, "Who are you?" ”
When Mo Huan saw Wang Bingzhong wearing an official uniform, he naturally felt fear in his heart, and he replied honestly: "My name is Mo Huan." ”
"Is this your father?" Wang Bingzhong pointed at Mo Yuan Martial Dao.
Mo Huan nodded.
After receiving a positive answer, Wang Bingzhong stopped questioning, turned around and came to Mo Qian, squatted down and said to him: "Lord, the lord's body is related to the future of my righteous army, and it must not be easily damaged. ”
"What's the solution?" Mo Qian glanced up at him.
Wang Bingzhong turned around and pointed at Mo Huan and said: "The lord's uncle is illegal, the lord is a nephew, and it is indeed against filial piety to beat his uncle with a cane, since the uncle cannot be beaten with a cane, but his son can be punished on behalf of his father, so that not only the lord's filial piety is complete, but also let the people see that the lord enforces the law impartially and is selfless." ”
Mo Qian nodded when he heard this, Wang Bingzhong's method is indeed a way.
"It's okay to let my cousin be tortured on my father's behalf, but I'm already lying here today, if I don't get a few boards, won't the people laugh at me Mo Qian for acting on the spot? So I was punished with my cousins, and each of them had twenty rods. ”
Wang Bingzhong wanted to persuade him again, but Mo Qian was already impatient.
"It's decided, ready to be executed!"
Wang Bingzhong had no choice but to go back and tell everyone present about Mo Qian's decision.
When everyone heard that Mo Qian was going to play the 20 boards by himself, they were still a little worried, but compared to the 40 boards, the 20 boards could be borne by the human body.
Cheng Zhidun called the four officials in charge of the execution and instructed them: "Later, if you dare to break the lord, I will let you go around without food!" ”
When the four officials heard this, they immediately understood the meaning.
After a while, the official brought another bench for Mo Huan to lie on it, and the brothers were tortured side by side.
Mo Huan didn't have much resistance to being beaten by the 20th board for his father, and his eldest brother had to be boarded, and he was embarrassed to stand here as a younger brother.
The execution soon began, and the four servants were divided into two groups, each with a cane and a cane.
Soon the first board came down and landed gently on the butts of the two.
Mo Qian, who was lying on the stool, only felt that his buttocks were tickled, and he hardly felt any pain.
Mo Qian was annoyed, what is the difference between this style of play and not fighting?
There are still so many people and soldiers watching the scene, if you finish the 20th board like this, then your reputation for being selfless and selfless will be a fake.
"Wait, haven't you eaten? Why don't you have any strength at all, I tell you, give me the strength to feed, and the execution will be repeated, and whoever dares to disrespect my orders, I will cut off your heads! ”
When the four officials heard that the king was going to cut off their heads, they glanced at each other, and immediately forgot Cheng Zhidun's warning to them.
"Execution!"
Seeing that Mo Qian was so resolute, the four officials couldn't care so much, so the board in their hands waved down viciously.
"One!"
"Ah~~~~~h
"Two!"
"Ah~~~~~~~~h
"Three... Four...."
With each board, you can hear two earth-shattering screams.
The screams were chilling just to hear.
However, the most embarrassing person on the scene at this time was Mo Yuanwu.
He originally wanted to use his identity as Mo Qian's uncle to establish his authority, but he didn't expect Mo Qian to be selfless.
Although the board didn't hit him, he felt his face be hot.
The board was slapped on the buttocks of the two children, and it was clearly slapped on their own faces.
The twenty boards were finally finished, and the brothers Mo Qian and Mo Huan had already fainted in pain when they hit the fourteenth board.
When the execution was over, everyone rushed up......
Mo Qian woke up, and when he woke up, he found himself lying on the bed, feeling cold on his buttocks.
Reaching out and touching it gently, Mo Qian suddenly felt so painful that he almost didn't scream, he didn't wear anything inside, only covered it with a quilt.
"Someone's coming!" Mo Qian shouted outside the room.
After a while, someone pushed the door into the house, and when he looked up, he saw that it was Yang Suxin, Yang He's granddaughter.
"Miss Yang, why are you here?" Mo Qian asked in surprise.
Yang Suxin smiled slightly and said, "Why can't I be here?" I've been waiting for me since last night. ”
"What? What do you serve? Oh, that's a shame! ”
Yang Suxin couldn't help but smile when she heard this, and said: "What is there to be ashamed of, you are now a celebrity in Yuanzhou Mansion, and the people praise you for being a good king, and you dare to make a fool of yourself." ”
"What about Lao Cao and Lao Wang?"
"They went to prepare for the exam, didn't you order that they should select talents and recruit talents?"
Mo Qian nodded, the poster indicated that the selection of talents was his personal order, the righteous army was just in its infancy, there was a shortage of talents, Mo Qian must recruit a group of talents as soon as possible, and train them in place, so as to lay a good foundation for himself to build the world in the future.
"Miss Yang, what about my uncle?"
"They were placed in the righteous army by Lord Wang, and your aunt was doing chores in the mansion."
"What about my aunt?"
"I'm going to wash your clothes, your ass is all broken, and your clothes are full of blood!"
Mo Qian couldn't help but nod when he heard this.
"Master Mo, I didn't expect you to be a scholar, you are very cruel to yourself, and you really ordered the official to beat the board!"
Mo Qian smiled bitterly: "If you don't fight, you can't do it, if you don't fight this board, the team will not be easy to bring!" ”
Yang Suxin couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile when she heard this: "My grandfather also praised you for having the style of a master." ”
"Really? Did Yang Gong really say that? ”
"Of course, I think you are much stronger than Emperor Chongzhen, Chongzhen will only shirk responsibility when he does something wrong, and take the blame on his courtiers, you are good, your uncle did something wrong, you don't punish your uncle, but beat yourself up."
