Chapter 22: Flogging
There was a buzz and a lot of talk around.
Song Minghua's faces changed greatly.
Not only did they not have the joy of retreating with their whole bodies, but they looked at Li Chengkong with worried faces.
Li Chengkong stared at Qin Tiannan.
Qin Tiannan looked indifferently and looked down at everyone.
A middle-aged man standing on either side of the high platform shouted: "Silence!"
Like thunder.
Everyone shut up.
"Let's execute. Qin Tiannan waved his hand.
The middle-aged eunuch beside him got up and said slowly: "This official is Han Pingchuan, the imperial sword envoy, this time the matter is judged by this official and Qin Zhangsi, are you dissatisfied?"
Li Chengkong knew the pattern of the imperial court from Lao Wang, and the imperial sword envoy was an internal official, subordinate to the 24th government of the inner government, similar to the Dali Siqing of the imperial court, and was responsible for criminal litigation.
"Lord Han, the sentence is too light, isn't it?" A young man raised his voice and said: "Killing people pays for their lives, this is the rule of our filial piety, and it is also the law of Dayue. ”
Li Chengkong glanced at it, this was one of the three young people around Zhou Lichuan.
Han Pingchuan said in a deep voice: "Killing people to pay for their lives is the law of Dayue, but the law of Dayue has a manslaughter, and there is also a murder in self-defense, Zhou Lichuan relied on his identity as a filial piety guard, relying on his martial arts, and tried to hide people's eyes and ears under the pretext of simulating a repetition, so bullying, is this official's eyes blind?!"
The young man hurriedly said, "Brother Zhou has no intention of deceiving people. ”
"What nonsense!" Han Pingchuan shouted: "What's the matter with that wild boar breaking into Li Chengkong's courtyard? Don't say that the three of you can't deal with a wild boar in the Abyss Realm!"
The young man's face turned red.
"Stand down, execute!" Han Pingchuan flicked his sleeves and sat back in the chair.
Four middle-aged men with purple sticks floated from the high platform to Li Chengkong's side.
Two purple sticks hit Li Chengkong's armpit, and the other two dotted on the outside of his thigh.
His legs were electrocuted, and he lost consciousness from numbness.
As soon as the first two purple sticks were pressed, he "banged" and fell to the ground.
Four sticks poked him in the back at the same time.
Li Cheng was as empty as a deflated ball, and everyone could vaguely hear the sound of his internal qi leaking out, and his face was solemn.
This is the abolition of cultivation!
The two middle-aged men in black each stood ten meters away with a black grinding plate.
They shook slightly, and the black grinding disc spread out into a long whip, and with a slight shake, the long whip swam to Li Chengkong's side like two snakes.
"Smack!" the tip of the whip exploded in the air.
The surrounding people trembled secretly.
They had seen the power of this whip more than once, and when they thought that Li Chengkong would receive twenty lashes, they all shook their heads secretly.
said that it was to spare his life, but in fact, it sounded good, and twenty lashes were enough to beat him to death.
Song Minghua and the others were worried, but there was nothing they could do.
Sun Guiwu especially knew the taste of this whip, his face was already wrinkled, and he gritted his teeth and glared at Qin Tiannan angrily.
"Smack!" a long whip flew in the air, hitting Li Chengkong's back with a crisp sound.
"Ah——!h
There was a hole in his clothes, and the rags sank into the flesh behind his back.
Everyone shuddered.
Li Chengkong felt that his body was smashed, as if it was not a whip, but a giant hammer that smashed him into meat sauce.
This miserable howl rushed out of the mouth, it was an instinctive scream of the body, and it was not under one's control.
"Haha, he peed!"
"Pull it too!"
"I can't help but fight, and the and urine will come out with a whip!hahahaha......"
The three young men around Zhou Lichuan laughed wildly.
The people around him didn't laugh.
At a glance, you can see that this whip man has made a dead hand, and he is determined to kill Li Chengkong!
"Ah——!" Sun Guiwu was about to pounce, but was held down by Song Minghua and Hu Yunshi.
At this time, chaos is to make trouble, and if you don't die, you will be half-crippled, and it will be useless.
"Smack!"
"Ah——!h
"Smack!"
"Ah——!h
"Smack!"
"Ah——!h
......
All the clothes on Li Chengkong's back were smashed into the flesh, and none of them fell outside, turning red and black.
He screamed and trembled at first, and after ten lashes, he was already motionless, as if he had died of exhaustion.
"Smack!"
"Smack!"
"Smack!"
......
There was a dead silence all around, except for the sound of whipping one after another.
Everyone watched in silence with gloomy faces, and even the three young men who were noisy and laughing closed their mouths.
The two middle-aged men in black seemed to have no feelings, and the interval between the two whips was the same, unhurried, calm and indifferent, as if they would continue to fight forever without stopping.
Twenty lashes were done, and they flicked their wrists slightly.
The two dark brown whips were like snakes coiled together.
Suddenly, the sound of exhalation came and went.
The two bowed to the high platform, turned and strode away.
Song Minghua and the three of them had already rushed to Li Chengkong's side, not daring to move him, Song Minghua squatted down and carefully probed his snort, and breathed a long sigh of relief.
"That's the end of it. Qin Tiannan got up and said lightly: "Don't dwell on it anymore, otherwise, don't blame the law for being ruthless!"
He hugged his fist at Han Pingchuan, Han Pingchuan got up and hugged his fist, and the two left the high platform solemnly, without looking at Li Chengkong.
The crowd immediately gathered around.
"Don't touch him yet!" Hu Yunshi said to Song Minghua and Sun Guiwu, and left straight away.
Sun Guiwu glared at everyone angrily: "What are you doing so close, do you want to see if Lao Li is dead?"
Someone asked, "Are you dead?"
Sun Guiwu glared angrily: "No! Lao Li won't die! He won't die so easily!"
"Twenty lashes...... , can't live. ”
"Alas...... , even if he doesn't die, his internal organs are so seriously injured, and he will eventually die of illness. ”
"If you want me to say, it's better to die directly, so as not to suffer the sin. ”
......
Sun Guiwu's face was gloomy, and his eyes swept towards everyone like fire, but he couldn't scare them back at all.
The whip just now is the best deterrent.
Whoever dares to do it, no matter how light it is, can't escape the whip, Li Chengkong's tragic situation is right in front of him, and I believe that no one will dare to commit it for the time being.
"Get out of the way!" Hu Yunshi's low cheers made everyone get out of the way and watched him come in with a bed on his back.
"Bang!" the bed was put down, and Hu Yunshi said, "Put him on it, lighten it a little." ”
Sun Guiwu looked at Hu Yunshi with admiration, but he didn't expect to do this.
The three of them carefully picked up the muddy, foul-smelling Li Chengkong, put it on the couch little by little, and then carried the bed back.
The crowd did not follow.
Li Chengkong's ending is already very clear, he is so seriously injured, even if he doesn't die now, he won't be able to survive tonight.
When the three of them carried to the gate of their small courtyard, Lao Wang beckoned at the gate of his courtyard: "Carry it over!"
The three hesitated.
Lao Wang said: "If you don't want him to die, just carry him over!"
“...... Carry it over. Song Minghua sighed: "We don't have a elixir, there's nothing we can do." ”
The three of them then carried Li Chengkong to Lao Wang's courtyard.
"This smell!" Lao Wang waved his hand to wipe away the stench on Li Chengkong's body, and glared at the three of them: "Let's go yours." ”
They hesitated to quit.
"Lao Wang, if Lao Li dies, we will settle accounts with you!" Sun Guiwu stopped at the door and snorted: "You don't want to find such a good accomplice again!"
Lao Wang waved his hand impatiently: "Don't be long-winded, delay the treatment!"
The three of them exited the courtyard and wanted to stay outside, but Lao Wang raised his voice in the courtyard: "Go back to your yard, I don't want others to know!"
They had no choice but to go back to their yards.
"Lao Li, he ......," Sun Guiwu asked hesitantly.
Song Minghua sighed: "Do your best to obey the destiny of heaven, it depends on whether Lao Li's life is hard or not,...... Knowing this, he should have passed on his Ziyang Divine Skill to him, and he would have had a little more life-saving ability. ”
Li Chengkong has practiced the Ziyang Divine Skill, at least now he is in the Mu Feng Realm, and he can heal his own injuries.
He is not yet in the Mufeng Realm, and his internal force is of little use for healing.
"Ziyang Divine Skill ......" Sun Guiwu and Hu Yunshi have complicated expressions.
"Madam, how's that?" asked Lao Wang.
Luo Qinglan was wearing a red shirt, and his hand was touching Li Chengkong's chest.
Lao Wang said: "Can you save your life?"
"It's a hassle. Luo Qinglan's jade face was calm.
She looked like white jade, as if she was unaware of Li Chengkong's dirtiness and smell.
Lao Wang pinched his nose for a while, and then let go, as if he was used to the smell: "That is, you can't die." ”
"These guys are hell-bent on killing him. Luo Qinglan said.
"If you dare to kill Xiaolingwei, how can you let him live?"
"The cultivation is also abolished," Luo Qinglan frowned lightly: "If the cultivation is still there, it will save trouble, now...... It's a lot of work. ”
"Then please madam," Lao Wang said, "It's hard to have such a smart boy, who is well-informed and interesting, and I don't want to change my companions." ”
Luo Qinglan took off his boots and went to the couch, sat behind Li Chengkong, and the white jade seemed to stick his palms to his back, and the bubbling warm breath was over.
The dark brown lining of his back made Luo Qinglan's palms even whiter, like a peerless jade carving.
In the bubbling warm breath, Li Chengkong's tightly locked brows slowly loosened.
In a trance, he felt himself back in his mother's belly, warm and comfortable, quiet and peaceful.
Drunk, he had a flash of inspiration and began to carry the Kunlun jade pot recipe.
