Volume 1: The Honest Young Man, Chapter 9
Yuan Zhen summoned the soldiers with military ranks and some more important generals, and prepared to carry out the order after informing the cause and effect of the incident, and immediately kill them with a cane.
"Brothers, I know that you are working very hard to defend the frontier, and I am very relieved. But half a year ago, the theft of grain and grass three times and twice has been in my heart, and I can't sleep like a thorn. Fortunately, I sent King Qian to find out the truth, and the truth of the matter has been revealed, and King Qian is very efficient, and soon found out the cause and effect, and reported it to me, and I will reward me when I turn around. Yuan Zhen smiled slightly with a noble and indifferent attitude, looking at his listless son on the side, such an announcement could be regarded as giving Ouyang Qian face.
"The emperor is wise, and it is very happy to punish criminals, otherwise I will work with these people with evil intentions all day long, and I don't know when I will be stabbed by them."
Hearing the sound of chains, Ouyang Qian looked back and saw that a group of black prisoners were tied up and kneeling on the ground, Lan Ping was the first, and Lan Yin was behind him. Lan Ping smiled slightly at Ouyang Qian, gently opened his lips, and said in a lip language, "I'm sorry." Obviously, he saw that his hair was scattered and could not hide his pale face, and he saw that he was beaten by his father-in-law for his two brothers to intercede.
Yuan Zhen waved his hand and ordered: "Now that the truth of this matter has been revealed, I will directly order that all the people who commit the crime will be beheaded immediately after being killed!" ”
"Yes!"
"Don't! I don't want to die! ”
"Help!"
The men were stripped of their pants and pressed to the bench, and the sound of batons hitting their buttocks was mixed with wails until everyone was out of breath before the beheadings were carried out.
There was a 'poof' sound from the blade slashing at the neck, and in an instant, all heads hit the ground. Yuan Zhen looked at the soldiers, and said without anger: "I hope you understand that every grain of grain in the Yuan Kingdom is reserved for the people of my Yuan Kingdom, and if anyone dares to do such illegal and undisciplined things like them, they will wait for the head to fall to the ground, understand!" ”
"Yes, the Admiral understands!"
Ouyang Qian just stared at Lan Ping and Lan Yin's human heads with two eyes, like a newborn child, without blinking, as if he was very curious about the human head. After Yuan Zhen made an example of the monkey, he saw Ouyang Qian staring at the human head, and somehow, he felt that he was so lonely. In order to block the blood stains drawn out by the horsewhip behind him, Ouyang Qian put on a black cloak, which made his back even weaker. Yuan Zhen walked up to him and grabbed his arm: "Have you seen enough?" ”
Ouyang Qian looked back as if he was in another world, and blinked: "Hmm." ”
Yuan Zhen dragged him back to the camp tent, feeling that he was not in a good state, so he advanced the itinerary: "Go back to Beijing today, you go and clean up." ”
"Huh? Oh, good. Ouyang Qian just responded, turned around and went to pack his things.
He didn't talk much in the carriage, and Yuan Zhen talked to him several times, but he didn't respond to it in a single tone, and he couldn't be interested.
Although it was winter, it stands to reason that the wound should not be inflamed, but Ouyang Qian has been covering the wound tightly in anger, and some of it has already suppurated after a long time, but he doesn't want to care about it, so he casually sprinkles some medicinal powder on it, whether it is good or bad, let it go. He didn't eat much along the way, he always drank two sips of water and said that he was full, said that he was sleepy and tired, but when he went to the room to see him, he always had two big eyes open and looked ahead without focus.
Yuan Zhen was annoyed, are you a dead father or a dead mother? As for this mournful face? Although he knew in his heart why Ouyang Qian was sad, he was still angry.
When Lone Shi gave him medicine, he found that the wound on his body was ulcerating, so he took a dagger and cut off the rotten flesh of the pus, Ouyang Qian said weakly: "Lonely, I won't trouble you on the road, let's talk about it when I get home." Seeing that he looked bad, he touched his forehead and screamed badly, "You have a fever." ”
"Then why don't you hurry up and find a way to heal him? Did you come with me for fun? Yuan Zhen said angrily, Lone Shi knew that he was angry with Ouyang Qian, and he had no way to be angry with him, a patient, so he could only be angry with himself, so he didn't care about him.
"Father-in-law, the child is fine, don't worry." Yuan Zhen didn't say anything, and Ouyang Qian closed his eyes and rested.
Ouyang Qian burned and fainted halfway, and the whip marks behind him fell into two inches of flesh and skin, suppurating and bleeding, and the flesh around him was rotten, but he just endured it without saying a word, and finally couldn't bear it and fell ill. But Ouyang Qian's sullen personality is really uncomfortable, and he never knows how to say it when he is seriously injured, so he has to wait until he falls ill to find out.
When he got home, Ouyang Qian was still unconscious, Yuan Zhen carried him down, and when he entered the mansion, everyone was startled, and Nanfeng Nanfang surrounded him one after another: "What's the situation?" Why did my brother faint? "Father-in-law, what's wrong with the eldest brother? Why do you look so weak? ”
"It's nothing, I'm a little cold, you get up." Yuan Zhen bypassed them without being salty, and went straight to Ouyang Qian's room, and immediately ordered the people who surrounded him to be evicted, "Your brother needs to rest, you can go out first." Lonely Shi took Nanfeng Nannan's arm and motioned for them to go out, and they had to leave the house first with a worried face.
Ouyang Qian didn't know when he opened his eyes, because of the pain, his pupils were gray, and he was still dazed and unfocused. Yuan Zhen frowned: "When did you wake up?" ”
"Just now, it hurt so much, I woke up in pain." Ouyang Qian blinked, feeling that his eyes were dry.
Yuan Zhen thought to himself, are you complaining about me? It's getting more and more unsuccessful! There was more and more fire in my heart, and I said angrily: "When you were sick, I allowed you to be so presumptuous, and when you are better, you dare to reply like this unruly, you weigh it yourself!" ”
No rules? Ouyang Qian was a little confused, didn't I reply to your question? Could it be that I didn't kowtow and didn't make a big salute? Yuan Zhen threw up his sleeves and left without waiting for him to speak again, Ouyang Qian looked at the door stupidly, and suddenly laughed softly, laughing extremely desolately.
Han Jiangyuan walked in with the medicine and towel, and touched his thin face distressedly: "Young Master, what's wrong with you?" Have you the old man again? Isn't it still good when you go out, how can you come back like this......"
"Han Bo." Ouyang Qian endured his crying and said, "I want to go home......"
Han Jiangyuan patted his head lightly in pain: "It's okay, when the injury is healed, it won't hurt......" Ouyang Qian let the tears flow down one after another, wetting Han Jiangyuan's clothes.
Han Jiangyuan gave him medicine, saw that he fell asleep and walked out, and when he arrived at the study, Yuan Zhen was sulking in a life, and walked in and served a cup of hot tea: "Master, the young master has a young heart, he has done something wrong, so he will coax him, I'm afraid it's uncomfortable at this time......"
Yuan Zhen was also angry, and he didn't have anything to say: "Uncomfortable? Just because I disposed of a few traitors, he complained about me all day long like a dead father and mother, useless things. ”
"The old man is serious, the young master's loyalty to the master is incomparable to that of any courtier, isn't the master still clear?" Han Jiangyuan is neither humble nor arrogant in front of anyone, and he also hopes that they can treat the two life-saving benefactors well, the father and son are enemies, both of them are deeply affectionate, but it is easy to misunderstand each other.
Yuan Zhen just had a gloomy face and didn't speak, was it really me being too strict with him? That's why he didn't beg for mercy when he was beaten this time, and he still had a stinky face that couldn't die afterwards?
"Okay, I know, you go down." Yuan Zhen waved his hand weakly, and Han Jiangyuan bowed and retreated.
When Lone Shi went home to get all the things and came to cut off the rotten flesh for him, Nanfeng and Nanfang also followed him to Ouyang Qian's room, and when they saw the injuries on his body, they couldn't close their mouths in surprise, Nanfeng looked at the whip wounds on his body and was stunned: "Why was my brother whipped so hard?" ”
Lone Shi glanced at him, and continued to burn the dagger in his hand: "Okay, don't make a noise, this is what your brother did wrong, and you won't lose money if you are beaten, don't always look at him, let him feel that he should do everything." ”
Ouyang Qian had been panicking in his heart, but now that he saw a few of them, he felt much better, and patted the side of the bed: "Brother, I'm fine, you come here." ”
Nanfeng sat at the head of the bed, and Ouyang Qian asked with a smile, "How are you doing at home recently?" ”
Nanfeng said in a sullen voice: "It's the same as before. ”
Nanfang leaned in front and looked at the injuries on his body, thinking that ordinary father-in-law would not have such a heavy hand, could it be that the eldest brother had done something particularly wrong? But the eldest brother is usually stable and has always been very accountable in his work, how could he be so angry?
When he was lonely, he pushed aside the south wind, tore the bandage on Ouyang Qian's body and was about to cut his meat, Ouyang Qian secretly bit the sheet and put it in his mouth. Cutting off the minced flesh little by little, Ouyang Qian's snort kept moaning uncontrollably, tears and cold sweat were pouring out, and he was finally bandaged, and Ouyang Qian's whole person was already like washing.
Lonely Shi packed up the medicine box and prepared to leave, and said to Nanfeng Nannan: "You just look at him, it's better to have you in his mood." ”
"What's going on this time? Why did the father-in-law give such a heavy hand? There weren't a few taels of meat on his body, but now it's all gone! ”
Seeing that Nanfeng was so angry, Nanfang shrank and looked outside the door, closed the door and lowered his voice: "Brother, you can be quiet, let my father-in-law hear it and think that my eldest brother is chewing on the root of his tongue!" ”
"Let him hear and let him hear! Lao Tzu is not afraid! Nanfeng shouted at the door, tears were already filling, Nanfang covered his mouth, "Of course you're not afraid, it's not you who hit!" ”
Nanfeng pushed her hand away, with a gloomy face, Ouyang Qian looked at his frizzy and angry look, and pulled his ears soothingly: "Brother is fine, just raise it for a few days, don't be sad......"
"You are just an honest bully, who is willing to suffer such a loss if you change others! Didn't I say you, why don't you always get along with him? It's okay, it's okay, every time I say it's okay, you can also see that the bones are about to be exposed! What are you telling me about your parents who are suffering from your body in a serious way, and you have the face to talk to me about this big reason? Nan Feng stood up angrily, tears flowed down, wiped his face with his sleeve, and said unconvinced, "I'll go to him to reason!" ”
