Water Margin: You dog official, you still say you don’t know martial arts?

Chapter 997 Cai Jing: King of Han, you are a very particular person!
"Listen to the voice of the people!"

Liu Gao pointed his whip at Cai Jing, Yang Jian, Wang Fu and others:
“The crimes you have committed are too numerous to list!
"If I kill you, it would be a bargain for you!
"You should be allowed to suffer alive to atone for your sins!
"Come on, give them thirty lashes each first!"

Following Liu Gao's order, a group of jailers led by Yang Xiong came up with whips and started whipping!

"Clap clap clap..."

The crisp sound of whips was heard continuously, along with the screams and howls of treacherous officials, which stimulated the people in the city to a climax!
In the past, those who were beaten were ordinary people, but today, those who are beaten are the treacherous ministers!
Great news, my fellow Radisson dwellers!
Liu Gao had given warning in advance that old men like Cai Jing and Yang Jian would be much ado about nothing, and people like Feng Mei and Wanqi Xie who were seriously injured would also be much ado about nothing. It would be bad if they were beaten to death.

But those who are young and strong like Wang Fu and Zhu Shengfei should be beaten to death!
Therefore, Cai Jing, Yang Jian, Wanqi Xie and others also thought that Liu Gao was quite particular.

In order to enhance the whipping effect, Cai Jing, Yang Jian, Wanqi Xie and others pretended to howl like ghosts and wolves, each of them screaming miserably.

Wang Fu, Zhu Shengfei and the others were really howling like ghosts, and were beaten badly!
The skin was torn and the body was covered with bruises!
The people in the city, who were stimulated to a climax, initially cursed the treacherous officials, but later they were led by the rhythm.

Cao Zheng, the "operator" of the official propaganda camp, mixed in the crowd, speaking with a Tokyo accent, raising his arms and shouting:
"Long live the King of Han—"

Gu Dasao, a "female tiger" who was also in the official propaganda camp, was among the women and was the first to respond to the call:
"Long live the King of Han—"

The official propaganda camp has now grown to several thousand people, and today they are all in Tokyo doing propaganda work.

After Cao Zheng and Gu Dasao took the lead, the official propaganda camp began to take action.

They were in different locations, in different groups of people, but they made the same sound:
"Long live the King of Han—"

Soon, the people all over the city made the same voice:

"Long live the King of Han—"

The shouts of countless people gathered together like a tsunami, covering the sound of whips and the howling of ghosts and wolves!
There seemed to be only this one voice between heaven and earth:
"Long live the King of Han—"

After thirty lashes, even though there was a lot of thunder but little rain, Cai Jing, Yang Jian and the others were all covered in blood!

The young and strong people like Wang Fu and Zhu Shengfei were even more miserable. Their clothes were torn and they were all covered in blood!
"Cai Jing, Yang Jian, Wang Fu, Zhu Shengfei, Feng Mei..."

Liu Gao counted a dozen names one by one:
"He has committed so many evil deeds that it is hard to list them all!

"I will enforce justice on behalf of Heaven and exile them to Jizhou for a hundred years!"

"Oooooooo-"

When the people of the city heard that they were going to exile Cai Jing and other treacherous officials to Jizhou for a hundred years, they cheered excitedly again:

A hundred years, wouldn't that mean that treacherous ministers like Cai Jing would die on the border!

The King of Han is right. Killing them would be too easy for them.

Especially someone like Cai Jing, who is already over seventy years old and has lived his life to its fullest.

But if I were to be exiled to Jizhou, I don’t know how much suffering I would have to endure!

I don’t even know if I can make it to Jizhou alive!

Isn't this more painful than killing them?
In fact, many people still thought it would be more convenient to just kill him directly, but Liu Gao had been deified by then.

Liu Gao's prestige was already very high, and with the added bonus of "righteousness", "tiger body shaking", and "tiger and leopard thundering sound", it directly created the effect of "one word is as good as gold", and no one dared to say no to him.

Then the writer who had been prepared came on stage and tattooed Cai Jing, Wang Fu and others on the cheeks one by one.

Then the jailers nailed a seven-and-a-half-jin iron shackle on each of them.

Cai Jing was originally worried that he would not be able to carry the wooden yoke, but unexpectedly, the yoke was quite light when put around his neck.

It turned out that Liu Gao was afraid that they would die of exhaustion from the long journey, so he made it with pine wood for them.

But it made Cai Jing feel warm in his heart: King of Han, you are a very particular person!
"It's better to do it today than today!"

Liu Gao waved his sleeves and said, "Take them to Jizhou!"

So Yang Xiong led a hundred infantrymen and escorted Cai Jing, Yang Jian, Wang Fu and others directly out of the city.

"You dogs, you have come to this day!"

"One, two, three, go to hell!" "HE--TUI!"

"I wish you a death without a burial place!"

Cai Jing, Yang Jian, Wang Fu and others were escorted through the crowd, and they were hit by countless rotten eggs on the way.

They must have walked along this main road in Tokyo city hundreds or thousands of times, but had never felt as miserable as they did today.

Like a rat crossing the street, everyone is shouting and beating him!
Not to mention them, even Yang Xiong was implicated, with rotten eggs dripping down his face.

"Straight bitch!"

Yang Xiong wiped his face and wanted to wipe it on Cai Jing's face, but Cai Jing's face was even dirtier than his...

He had no choice but to smear the rotten eggs on the big tree by the roadside. Yang Xiong shouted:
“Go, go!
"If you walk too slowly, I'll hit you with a big stick!"

One hundred infantrymen were stationed on both sides of Cai Jing and his men, with ten serving one, and if they walked slowly they would be beaten and scolded.

Cai Jing and his companions had a miserable journey, but when they checked into the hotel at night, their treatment suddenly changed completely.

More than a dozen doctors had been waiting here for a long time, treating their injuries, cleaning the wounds, applying medicine and bandaging them.

The next day was even more amazing. There were several horse-drawn carriages prepared outside the store for them to ride in.

Sitting in the carriage, Cai Jing was particularly moved:
"The King of Han really keeps his word, and his words are as good as gold!

"If you say you will save our lives, then save our lives!"

Yang Jian, who was riding in the same carriage with him, sighed:

"It is a blessing in disguise that we can die peacefully at the border..."

Cai Jing: “Yes…”

After walking for a few days, Cai Jing was resting in the carriage with his eyes closed when he suddenly heard Yang Xiong making a fuss outside:

"Get out of the car! Everyone get out of the car!"

"Are you stopping for a meal or staying overnight?"

Cai Jing opened his eyes, and he and Yang Jian supported each other to get up. They got off the carriage and saw a beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains.

Cai Jing was stunned at the time:
No, what have you been doing for me?

Is this still the Song Dynasty?

"Get aboard!"

There were already more than a dozen small boats waiting by the lake. Yang Xiong ordered the infantry to put Cai Jing and his men on the boats.

After a few good days, Cai Jing felt that he had gained some face and could not help asking Yang Xiong:
"General Yang, are we going to Jizhou?"

"You'll know when it arrives!"

Yang Xiong sneered and ordered his minions to row the boat to the golden sand beach.

So Cai Jing and a dozen other treacherous ministers were escorted all the way to the edge of the field by Yang Xiong.

From a distance, Wanqi Xie saw a few calves plowing the fields, so he asked his fellow sufferer Feng Mei:

"Can you see clearly? There are a few calves over there—"

Feng Mei widened his one eye and said: You with two eyes ask me if I with one eye can see clearly?

Cai Jing and the others also saw it, and Zhu Shengfei began to wonder:

“Why are the oxen here so short?

"Where exactly is this place?"
