Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 178 Patriarch Bless, God Bless Zhongliang
The main hall of Yongshou Palace.

The bluestone floor of the entire hall was almost covered by memorials one after another.

Emperor Jiajing stood in the main hall and asked the supervisor of ceremonies to seal Lu Fang: "Are they all those who participated in Yang Lian's slander of Zhongliang?"

Lu Fang replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Emperor Jiajing's face was cloudy and uncertain.He asked again: "Is there no memorial to protect Yang Lian?"

Lu Fang said: "There is only one memorial to protect Yang Lian."

Emperor Jiajing asked, "Whose memorial?"

Lu Fang replied: "Governor of Zhejiang Province Hu Zongxian."

Emperor Jiajing sighed: "Hu Zongxian is still kind. Didn't those people Xu Jie, Gao Gong, and Zhang Juzheng take the book to protect Yang Lian?"

Lu Fang replied: "Mr. Xu Ge has been sick for the past few days and is recuperating at home. Gao Butang went to Tongzhou to check the grain stored in the Tongzhou warehouse. Zhang Butang went to Xishan to check the military equipment of the Shenji Battalion..."

Emperor Jiajing sneered: "They will hide right from wrong!"

Emperor Jiajing suddenly thought of what He Liu told him on behalf of Yang Lian: Nowadays, apart from King Yu, is there anyone who is not afraid of Yan Song?

Emperor Jiajing glanced at a memorial letter covering the entire hall: What Yang Lian said is true.

Lu Fang said: "Your Majesty, what should we do with these papers? Do we want to keep them and not publish them?"

Emperor Jiajing shook his head: "Keep it in the middle and not publish it? You can keep three and five seals, but if thousands of copies are kept and written in the annals of history, how will future generations evaluate me?"

Emperor Jiajing turned his head and sat back in the green gauze tent: "Are these people going to force me to kill a loyal minister?"

Lu Fang knelt down and did not answer.He knew that if he spoke now, he would be involved in this dispute.He wants to learn from Xu, Gao, and Zhang, and avoid this dispute from a distance.

After a long time, Emperor Jiajing said: "Let's draw up an order. Yang Lian, the imperial censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, slandered the chief assistant and framed Zhongliang. He will be dismissed from his official position, and the court staff will flow three thousand miles."

"The minister obeys the order."

Three hours later, the decree reached Fusi, North Town of Jinyiwei.

In Fusi of Beizhen, the person in charge of the court staff is in charge of punishing thousands of households strictly and often solemnly.

Yan Shisui is similar to He Liu, and he is serious in his daily life.As the name suggests, the mantra on his lips is: "Military law is as big as the sky."

The court stick, to put it bluntly, is spanking with a big wooden stick.

Ordinary people's children make mistakes, and the adults in the family will beat the children's buttocks with wooden sticks.

The court stick is not an ordinary wooden stick, but a solid wooden stick weighing fifty catties.Ordinary people can't even swing this fifty-jin stick.

There are two kinds of court sticks.One is to "play hard" and the other is to "play hard".

Jin Yiwei is in charge of the execution warriors of the Qianhu Institute, all of whom possess unique skills.

This is how they practice court sticks on weekdays.First find a large piece of tofu and cover it with a wooden board.If you hit it with a big stick, the board will be broken, but the tofu will not be broken; or find a brick and attach a piece of rice paper.Swinging the big stick dozens of times, the rice paper is not broken, but the bricks are all broken. . .

If the family members of the prisoner used money, they would be "really beaten", that is, the executioners would smash the prisoner's flesh and blood to calm down the emperor.Actually don't move your muscles.

If the family members of the prisoner did not use the money, it would be "beating with heart". After the execution, the skin and flesh looked intact, but in fact the bones and muscles were broken!
However, a hundred blows of the court stick, even if it is a "really hit", and the stick is reduced, it will be the death of those criminals with poor health.

Before execution, Lao Hu went to find Yan Shi.

Lao Hu said to Yan Shi: "Old Shi, Yang Lian's father is an old senior of our Jinyiwei. When the execution...forget it, I won't say more. You know it well."

Yan Shi nodded: "Don't worry, third master. I am not a fool. I know who is loyal and who is evil. I will let the brothers 'really fight' that Yang Qianyuan. A hundred times, ordinary weak scholars will die in Huangquan. Whether Yang Qianyuan lives or dies depends on God's will."

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the execution began.

Yang Lian was dragged to Beisi's school yard, and his shirt and pants were stripped off.

Yan Shi walked up to Yang Lian, took out a cloth ball from his hand, and said to Yang Lian, "Master Yang, bite the cloth ball tightly, it can relieve your pain."

Yang Lian smiled: "I, Yang Lian, have a hard bone. I don't need this thing."

Yan Shi said again: "Oh, if the pain is unbearable, you can yell out. Shouting can also relieve the pain by a point or two."

Yang Lian said: "Master Yan, don't be so wordy, let's go to the punishment!"

Yan Shi lowered his voice, and ordered the two executioners: "Really hit!"

The two wrestlers nodded upon hearing this.

"Oh!"

"one!"

"Oh!"

"two!"

. . . . .

After more than a dozen sticks, Yang Lian's buttocks and thighs were already bloody.

He Liu and Lao Hu stood thirty or forty steps ahead of Yang Lianshen.Yan Shi came over and said, "I hope God has eyes, Master Yang can survive this hundred sticks of 'really hitting' and save his life."

Hearing this, Old Hu turned his head and hurried back to his room.

Not long after, he returned to the school field with a magic card in his hand.

"56, 57, 58."

At this time, Yang Lian's buttocks and legs were already dripping with blood.Every time the executioner swung the big stick, a trace of flesh would fly off the stick.

What frightens the executioner is that.The 50-year-old guy lying on the ground did not scream, nor did he cry out for pain.There was a frightening smile on his face.

Lao Hu put the god tablet on the ground, took out three sticks of incense from his sleeve, lit it and stuck it on the ground.

There is a big book on the god card "Mao Xiang, the founder of the Jinyi Guards of the Ming Dynasty, is just."

Lao Hu knelt down on the ground: "Master Patriarch bless you, God bless Zhongliang!"

After finishing speaking, Lao Hu kowtowed to the god card of the patriarch.

Seeing this, He Liu and Yan Shi also knelt down and kowtowed: "Patriarch bless you, God bless Zhongliang!"

"63, 64, 65."

At this time, Liu Da, the governor of Beizhen, came over.He scolded Lao Hu, He Liu and the others: "What are you doing? The court staff Yang Lian is the emperor's will! Then Yang Lian is a traitor who slanders loyalty! You pray to the patriarch to bless a traitor?"

Old Hu stood up: "Da Liu, Yang Lian is loyal or traitor. You know it in your heart, and I know it in your heart. Everyone in the world knows it! I advise you, don't rush to be a cow to some people in the court." Horse! Otherwise, when they fall, you will have to follow suit!"

Liu Da sneered: "Old Hu, don't think that you can be defiant just because you have been promoted to a commander! Don't forget, I am now the commander of Jinyiwei, Zuo Tongzhi! I order you to remove the magic card!"

At this moment, Commander Lu Bing, supported by his son Lu Si, also came to the school grounds.

Lu Bing's health is not good, and he caught wind and cold these few days. He coughed for a while, and then asked: "What's the matter, I can hear you arguing here ten miles away."

Liu Da pointed to the patriarchal tablet on the ground: "Commander, Hu San, He Liu, and Yan Shi actually begged the patriarch to bless Yang Lian, that traitor who slanders loyalty! Yang Lian's court stick is one hundred, but the emperor personally ordered it. . .”

Hearing this, Lu Bing ignored Liu Da, but silently walked to the patriarchal tablet, kowtowed three times, and then said reverently: "Patriarch bless you, God bless Zhongliang!"
