Chapter 128

Tang Tianxiao lowered his eyes and asked, "Tomorrow I will serve him to freshen up, what do you mean?"

Tang Tianxiao only felt pain in his head, and frowning as he glanced at the letter, obviously puzzled.

Tang Tianqi said: "Could it be that you feel that you haven't been bullied enough, so you can bully after you clean up and refresh yourself?"

Tang Tianxiao raised his head suddenly, and the phoenix pupils raised had a piercing chill, as if they wanted to stab him to death.

"Not what I meant."

Tang Tianqi bit the bullet and said, "Otherwise... how else can I explain this sentence?"

"That... is better than death."

Tang Tianxiao snorted, slowly grabbed the letter paper tightly, and kneaded it into a ball heavily, but his eyes were red, and he couldn't tell whether it was from anger or tenderness.

He said in a low voice: "Even if they leave Jingshan, they will never want to return to Beihe! I will definitely bring her back to me!"

She has an open and bright personality, and she is not as chaste and strong as a lady in the Central Plains. Even if someone humiliates her, if he rescues her and treats her as before, she will naturally get better gradually.

He tossed the letter paper away, and said slowly: "Continue to withdraw troops, but from now on all the main roads up to Beihe need to be closely monitored. I don't believe that they can fly to Beihe with Qianmei!"

This is the world of Da Zhou, he should have the ability to make these people unable to fly.

What's more, Qianmei has never been such a docile person. If she is taken to Beihe by force, she doesn't know how to struggle all the way, and there will always be clues left behind.

But before he had time to think carefully, Zhuo Rui turned pale and wanted to go forward a few times, but stood still hesitantly, as if hesitating to speak, waiting to say something.

He was dizzy and upset, but he could still hold back his discomfort and asked, "Zhuo Rui, what do you want to say?"

Zhuo Rui's face became even paler, and suddenly he knelt down and said: "Your Majesty and Lord Hou are both noble people, I'm afraid I have never heard of the punishments used by various yamen to try serious cases."

Both Tang Tianxiao and Tang Tianqi were puzzled why he brought this up at this time.

Zhuo Rui took a deep breath before he had the courage to say: "There is a punishment that is no less vicious than Ling Chi, and that is... grooming."

Tang Tianqi was stunned: "Punishment? Freshen up?"

Zhuo Rui bowed his head and said: "Yes. To wash and wash, the prisoner is stripped of his clothes and tied to an iron plate, poured boiling water on it several times, then use an iron brush to scratch and scrub the flesh, brush off a layer, then pour boiling water on it, and brush again... …until all the flesh and blood are gone, exposing the internal organs of the bones... When encountering a cruel person, the prisoner is given ginseng soup in advance, all the flesh and blood are gone from the outside of the body, and the person is still alive..."

It was as if the mountain wind suddenly pierced through the tent and penetrated into the bone marrow, and the cold air pierced like silver needles, but no pain was felt, it was just blindly numb, and the hairs all over the body stood up without exception.

For a long time, I couldn't even hear the breathing of a few people.

"Our Great Zhou also has this kind of punishment?"

Tang Tianxiao's voice was unusually sharp and out of tune, as if he had been knocked out of direction by an invisible hammer.

Zhuo Rui replied: "Yes. The Great Zhou continued to use the laws of the previous dynasty, and tortures such as Ling Chi, grooming, and skinning have not been abolished. It's just that the emperor is benevolent, and these punishments have never been used."

"and then?"

Tang Tianxiao resisted the chattering of his teeth, and said coldly, "Is someone planning to set a precedent for my concubine Shu?"

Zhuo Rui fell on the ground, he couldn't help digging hard at the hard rocks with his fingers, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, we must find a way as soon as possible, and we must not let them use torture! Once this punishment method is used, the skin of the person will fall off, and the body will be destroyed. Even if they are rescued, it is absolutely impossible to survive..."

Tang Tianqi's face was already purple with anxiety, and he asked, "Why did they treat her like this? Just because we didn't withdraw in time? Just...just use such vicious methods? Killing people can't be done, the people from Beihe are all Who? Dare to treat their own princess like this?"

Tang Tianxiao suddenly said, "What if she's not their princess at all?"

Tang Tianqi was stunned.

Tang Tianxiao's complexion was snow-white, and he said softly: "She is not their princess, but she is still my concubine Shu! Pass the decree and withdraw the troops quickly! Aren't they going to leave? Let them go, can't you? Can't you?"

The last sound turned into a mournful roar, with a slight choking sound.

A bright and dazzling beam of light flashed by, and there was only a "bang", and the exquisite case that was specially brought up from the mountain was almost cut in two by his Dragon Sword, and sawdust flew everywhere.

The wooden box, together with the dirty clothes and stomach pockets, fell to the floor, dirty, broken, and marinated. No matter what, there was no way to connect with that beautiful woman with a charming smile.

The shadow of the red candle, the thin veiled gauze, the light purple apron slipped gently in his palm, the pair of mandarin ducks crossing their necks seemed to be whispering softly and secretly laughing...

The blue sky is flowing, the mountains and forests are green, she has a light smile, and she is wearing a refreshing green dress that is about to blend into the mountain scenery, galloping agilely in front of her, a faint touch, sometimes disappearing...

But it is so clearly engraved in his heart, drawing his eyes, drawing his thoughts, unconsciously...

He has a splitting headache.

There was another sound of chaotic footsteps outside.

Seeing someone poking inside but not daring to come in, Tang Tianqi glanced at Tang Tianxiao who was sitting on the mat holding his head tightly, and hurried out.

It was a commander of the imperial guards who came, followed by several imperial guards, but escorted a village woman in rough clothes.

He quickly asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"

The commander quickly stepped forward and replied: "Just when we were about to withdraw, this woman rushed over suddenly, babbling and not being able to explain clearly, just pointing to the king's flag on the top of the mountain, it seems that she wants to see the emperor."

"Can't speak clearly?"

"Her tongue was cut out, as if it had just been cut."

In recent years, my country is safe and peaceful. Although I don’t go on the road and don’t pick up things, there are very few cases of murder and robbery.

Jingshan is located in Gyeonggi, and the folk customs can be regarded as simple and simple. In the past two days, there have been guards all over the mountains and plains. How could there be a village woman who cut out her tongue for no reason?
