Chapter 654, feeding the tiger with his body
Yin Quan was crooked on the throne in the middle of the stands, on the left was Cheng Jijia, the lobby master of the Blood Shadow Hall, and on the right was the pale-faced princess Ximen Yuxue. Yin Quan has recently become obsessed with fighting beasts, whether it is a beast fighting with a beast, or a fight between a man and a beast, Yin Quan likes it. At this time, Yin Quan was smiling and looking at a civil official in the Colosseum who was holding a shield in his left hand and a scimitar in his right hand, but wearing a tattered patch uniform, this civil official was the magistrate of Quxiong County, Hengjiang County, Southwest Province, named Che Guozhi, who was appointed by the imperial court before canonizing Yin Quan hereditarily as the king of Pingxi County.
Now the imperial court has handed over the power of the entire southwest province to the king of Pingxi, but this small magistrate dares to offend the tiger power of the king of Pingxi, and commits a blunt admonition, and publicly writes a book, saying that the king of Pingxi has committed several major crimes of trespassing, such as building the county king's mansion to a scale larger than the prince's mansion, and such as the displacement of the common people who wantonly enclose the land, and also raise countless beautiful concubines, and raise thousands of dead soldiers, etc......
Yin Quan was really angry, and asked someone to take Che Guozhi to the Sixian Palace, and reprimanded him in person: "The widow's surname is Yin, the widow's father is the uncle of today's saint, and he was crowned the prince of Pingxi. The land in the county is the fief of this king, how many circles are the love of the widow, what is the matter with you?"
Che Guozhi was furious and protested: "Lord, the imperial court canonized you as the hereditary king of Pingxi County, in the hope that you can set an example for the kings and let the people under your rule live a good life, instead of letting you be ruined! The county prince's mansion is even larger than the prince's mansion, isn't it arrogance? Why is a vassal king raising thousands of dead soldiers? Shouldn't you blame yourself? The imperial court is especially gracious to the prince, shouldn't the prince manage the domain well and live up to His Majesty's trust?"
The angry Yin Quan and Che Guozhi argued for a long time, more than ten strategists under Yin Quan, together with Cheng Jijia, no one could argue against Che Guozhi, and finally Yin Quan was angry, and let people put a spotted tiger that had been hungry for three days into the Colosseum, and let people find a scimitar and a broken round shield, Yin Quan pointed to Che Guozhi's nose and shouted: " Che Guozhi, you a small magistrate dared to confront the widow in person, but the widow didn't care about you, and still gave you a way to survive today, you took this scimitar, this round shield, and went to fight with the tiger in the field, as long as you won, the widow will naturally let you go!"
Che Guozhi is just a civil official, although he is not powerless, but he is by no means a master, let him fight with a scimitar, what is the difference between killing him? Che Guozhi said angrily: "Lord, if you want to kill me Che Guozhi, please do it here! Why do you want to act cowardly and get rid of me under the pretense of the hands of the tiger and leopard? My Che Guozhi is a magistrate appointed by the imperial court, and he does things for the imperial court, not your domestic slave of the king of Pingxi, and I will do whatever you tell me to do?"
Yin Quan said with a gloomy smile: "Che Guozhi! Now the imperial court has handed over the power of selecting officials in the southwest province to the widows, and the officials at the following levels do not need to be appointed by the imperial court, and the widows can dispose of them on their own! This southwest road is the southwest road of the widows, and the widows don't ask you to be the county governor of Quxiong, what are you dissatisfied with? The widows tell you to go to the beast fight, why don't you want to? If you don't dare to go to the beast fight, you can also, this official will kill your family first for the crime of disobeying the king's order! If you go to the beast fight, no matter if you win or lose, this king will spare your whole family from the death penalty!
Che Guozhi was furious and shouted: "King Pingxi, hello! Hello!" Che Guozhi was helpless, his own life and death could be put aside, but what about the old and young family? There was a seventy-year-old mother and an eight-year-old child, could he bear to watch them die? Che Guozhi angrily lifted the scimitar and went down to the Colosseum with a round shield to fight the tiger.
Yin Quan looked proud, and took Ximen Yuxue, the prince Yin Yueheng, the master of the Blood Shadow Hall Cheng Jijia and the big and small strategists around him, the guards, the commanders, and the officials of the palace and Yuzhou City, to sit in the stands together to see how Che Guozhi died. Officials of all sizes trembled, trembling, and some officials who had some personal relations with Che Guozhi shook their heads and sighed, alas, this old car, should not advise the king of Pingxi, the court can't handle it, and the people who need to be appeased, you are a little magistrate and a fart?
Che Guozhi held a shield in his left hand and a scimitar in his right hand, trembling nervously, what chance could an ordinary person have in the face of a tiger that had been hungry for three days? The spotted tiger looked at Che Guozhi, his eyes were blood-red, and a low roar came out of his throat.
Che Guozhi said loudly: "Tiger, tiger, my Che Guozhi is a dignified Quxiong Zhi County, an official of the imperial court, but unfortunately the luck is not good, falling into the hands of the traitor King Pingxi, my car has been suffering for ten years, and finally passed the Jinshi, by the grace of the imperial court, and has not yet made any political achievements, but today I want to die in your mouth, Che Mou's death is not a pity, only pity my mother's family, widowed wife, weak son!
Yin Quan in the stands was furious, this Che Guozhi was already dying, and he dared to ridicule him, he was really a ghost who played on the swing on the platform and didn't know whether he was alive or dead! Yin Quan lowered his face, turned his head sideways to look at Cheng Jijia, Cheng Jijia had already understood what Yin Quan meant, nodded and said softly: "Don't worry, don't worry, the next thing will be handed over to the Blood Shadow Hall, Che Guozhi's family is old and young, and none of them can escape!" Yin Quan nodded silently, or Cheng Jijia understood my thoughts.
Everyone in the stands exclaimed, the spotted tiger had already pounced on it like lightning, and with a slap of its front paws, it slapped the shield in Che Guozhi's hand, Che Guozhi fell on his back, and the spotted tiger pressed Che Guozhi's chest with his claws, and bit down on Che Guozhi's throat, killing him in one bite, and the scimitar in Che Guozhi's hand had no chance to split out at all. Quxiong Zhi County Che Guozhi feeds tigers with his body.
Ximen Yuxue, the princess of Pingxi, who was hardpulled to see the tiger eating people, screamed, covered her face and didn't dare to look at it again, this scene was too bloody and cruel. Officials of all sizes bowed their heads, Gu left and right said that his Gu left and right said him, everyone lost color, all of them were frightened, from this day on, no official in the southwest province dared to advise the king of Pingxi, who wants to be thrown down to feed the tiger?
Yin Quan stretched out his hand and twisted Ximen Yuxue's face, and said unhappily: "Princess Niangniang, shouldn't you see what happens to the widow?" Ximen Yuxue was trembling and couldn't say a word, she was already frightened.
Yin Yueheng, who was beside Ximen Yuxue, said in a low voice: "Father, my mother is kind by nature, and it is normal that I don't like to watch such a scene, it's good to have a son to watch with my father!" Yin Quan snorted, and then let go of his hand.
A guard from the Blood Shadow Hall hurriedly walked up to the stands and whispered a few words in Cheng Jijia's ear, Cheng Jijia's body was shocked, and he said movingly: "Oh, there is such a thing?"
