Chapter 54: Who dares to intercede for you
Su Tianyang kept beating the drum in his heart, he buried his head and looked sideways at his uncle, hoping to get some clear instructions.
Liu Zhongqing blinked, signaling him to calm down.
This exchange was naturally also seen by Li Yunxing.
Intrigue here in front of him, what do you really think of yourself?
A trace of disgust appeared in his eyes, "Su Tianyang, before the palace asked, you asked for mercy, how many unfortunate things have you done?" ”
Liu Zhongqing understood that this was Li Yunxing's deliberate deception.
Su Tianyang looked back at Liu Zhongqing again, and the other party shook his head.
Su Tianyang turned his head and respectfully bowed to Li Yunxing.
"The minister didn't do anything wrong, he just ...... It's just that I heard that the prince is cruel, so the minister is so afraid. ”
When these words were spoken, they caused quite a commotion among the officials.
In fact, if you look closely, many people still have wounds on their faces.
The hundred officials who resisted yesterday were either killed or punched and kicked.
If he refuses, he will be beaten half to death, and he will be carried to the top of this great hall.
It's no wonder that Su Tianyang is so scared, anyone who is suddenly kidnapped in a sack will be scared and lose his soul.
Many ministers were sympathetic to Su Tianyang's plight.
Seeing that the situation had changed, Lian Zhan scolded sharply, "Bold Su Tianyang, you still haven't recruited from the top of the hall!" Dare to make eyebrows with others here, who gave you such guts? ”
This Su Tianyang is indeed a good hand in selling miserably.
Unkempt and drooping eyes, he looked unclear, "Minister, the minister is just a local state pastor, I really don't know why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is like this?" ”
Li Yunxing narrowed his eyes, "Su Tianyang, then the palace will ask a little more clearly, what is going on with the disaster relief grain in Jingzhou?" ”
"Relief food? What's wrong with disaster relief food? ”
Su Tianyang has already made up his mind to pretend to be stupid to the end.
"It seems that Master Su hasn't woken up yet, so put on the torture instrument to loosen Lord Su's muscles and bones."
"Yes!"
A few embroidered royal historians stepped forward.
Su Tianyang was taken aback, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ......"
Li Yunxing's eyes were smiling, but the indifference on his face became more and more visible.
He's definitely not a threat!
Su Tianyang was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed and begged for mercy, "Your Highness, the disaster relief grain is all transported from the capital, how can I know about it?" ”
"His Royal Highness the Prince, my Su family is also a famous family in the Wu Dynasty, and I will never disdain to do that kind of corruption and bribery!"
Liu Zhongqing is naturally inconvenient to speak again because of her kinship.
But that doesn't mean his minions will be silent.
Da Honglu Qi Ming took a step forward, "His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister thinks that it is difficult to set an example for the world to be tortured above the main hall. Besides, if this matter is known to the diplomatic powers, they may think that our Wu Dynasty is a barbaric country and does not pay attention to any civilized etiquette. ”
"The minister also thinks that Da Honglu is reasonable, His Royal Highness the Prince, please think twice!"
The voices of these two people were not loud, but every word came clearly into Li Yunxing's ears.
He didn't laugh angrily, with mockery in his eyes.
"Why, it is difficult for the palace to set an example for the world when the court is tortured? The millions of displaced people starved to death, is that the world's example? ”
As soon as these words came out, they were suddenly silent.
"Someone, heavy punishment is waiting!"
"Yes!"
The two embroidered royal historians rushed forward and set up Su Tianyang.
In order to prevent him from biting his tongue and committing suicide, Jiang Chang directly stuffed a piece of linen cloth into his mouth.
At this time, even if Su Tianyang wanted to recruit, he couldn't say it.
has been struggling "hmm", and his eyes are looking at Liu Zhongqing for help.
Liu Zhongqing saw it in his eyes but never moved, and now the prince is angry because he knows the suffering of the people in Jingzhou.
Now Su Tianyang's pain is inevitable.
He could only wait for the prince to vent this resentment before Liu Zhongqing had the opportunity to speak for him.
The first heavy punishment was flogging.
Jiang Chang took the leather whip specially used for execution from the embroidered guard, which was more than a zhang long and soaked in salt water.
When thrown on a person's body, not only the skin and flesh are opened, but the salt water is pierced into the flesh and blood, which is not only used for disinfection to prevent the tortured person from getting sick because of this, but also has a double pain, so that the tortured person feels the cruelty of whipping.
Jiang Chang snorted, and the whip wind whirled, cutting through the hall.
Everyone unconsciously took a few steps back, for fear of being whipped by the whip.
The moment the whip landed on Su Tianyang's body, the split flesh had already been fanned out with a bloody mark, but the clothes had not been completely torn.
"Hmm!" Su Tianyang screamed miserably, and tears fell from his eyes.
Those who are scared have covered their eyes and are afraid to look again.
This second course falls directly on the shoulder.
The whip is whistling, like a spiritual snake, the whip seems to have eyes, and it picks the place where there is less meat, and it is painful and spicy.
"Woohoo! Woo! Su Tianyang trembled in pain, and his mouth whimpered indistinctly.
Li Yunxing stood aside expressionlessly, watching Su Tianyang being tortured in front of everyone.
Many people couldn't bear to look at it directly, they didn't expect Li Yunxing to be so vicious.
Heavy punishment was used in front of them, which frightened many civil officials who only knew how to read and write, and sweated profusely.
The generals were not as weak as Wenchen, and when they saw such a tragic scene, they couldn't help but close their eyes, and a sense of fear rose in their hearts.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Ahh
As the frequency of the whip falling on the human body accelerated, the screams were incessant.
The expression on Li Yunxing's face did not change in the slightest, and he didn't even shake his eyebrows.
The nine whips are obviously not much, but they seem to have smashed a thousand catties of boulders into the hearts of every courtier.
They looked at the young and handsome prince with fear in their hearts.
"Ah, it hurts! It hurts so much! ”
Su Tianyang had already fainted in pain, and his mouth was still wailing.
Li Yunxing's face was expressionless, "Wake him up." ”
"Yes!"
"Your Highness spares your life! Your Highness spares your life! ”
Almost at the same moment, Su Tianyang woke up from his coma and shouted loudly to spare his life, "Weichen really didn't mean to deceive His Highness, he really didn't know, spare the slave this time!" ”
"Bengong thought you had fainted, but I didn't expect it to be fake again?"
Su Tianyang swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and the whole person lay on the ground and didn't dare to get up.
There were nine whip marks on his back, and the blood ran down his spine to the floor.
Su Tianyang's tears couldn't stop flowing, but he knew that Li Yunxing wanted his life!
Li Yunxing's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at Su Tianyang, a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Now, are you awake?"
Su Tianyang didn't know how to pick it up, and wanted to look back at Liu Zhongqing's face.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Chang grabbed him by the head and forced him to look up at the prince directly.
"Whatever this palace asks, you answer."
"Do you dare to look around, are you expecting someone to save you?"
"This palace tells you, if you don't tell the truth today! No one here dared to intercede for you! ”
