Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 179
Inside the main hall of Yongshou Palace.

Emperor Jiajing asked Lu Fang: "Lu Fang, Jin Yiwei has finished beating Yang Lian's court stick by now, right?"

Lu Fang replied: "Your Majesty, the Jin Yiwei Xingting Staff always hits the first stick at [-]:[-] noon. Now it is [-]:[-] PM. The [-] sticks should have been struck long ago."

Emperor Jiajing said with some concern: "Should Yang Lian be beaten to death if he can't bear the hundred rods?"

Lu Fang said: "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry. Jin Yiwei has rules, if someone is killed by the court staff, it must be reported to the palace. If there is no report at this moment, it means that Yang Lian is not dead."

Emperor Jiajing sighed: "Oh, those people insisted on forcing Yang Lian, a loyal minister, to death. I was also forced to... An Nanguo sent this year's tribute a while ago. I remember a pair of snake gallbladder? Snake gallbladder can relieve pain Yes. You let He Liu go to the palace and give Yang Lian that pair of snake gall."

Lu Fang said: "I obey the order."

An hour later, He Liu walked out of Yongshou Palace holding a brocade box.

He knew in his heart that the emperor granted snake gall to relieve Yang Lian's pain, which showed that the emperor knew in his heart: Yang Lian is a loyal minister, and Yan Song and his son are traitors.

Perhaps, Yang Lian's goal has already been achieved.The more than 1000 memorials to Yang Lian had already made the emperor make up his mind to start eliminating the strict party that was too big to lose.

He Liu hoped that the emperor would get rid of Yan Song and his son.There are three reasons.

First, in these years, he has long seen how greedy Yan Song and his son are.Such a person controls the cabinet, and the common people will never have a good life.

Second, when He Liu was investigating the case of embezzlement of ink in food relief, he had already torn skins with Yan Song and his son.Yan Song and his son are villains who must report their flaws.As long as this pair of father and son are in power, they will definitely find opportunities to take revenge on him and Lao Hu in the future.

Third, if He Liu wanted to find out the cause of death of his birth father and his wife, he had to take the position of commander and have the right to view the secret files of Tianzihao's archives.Now Jin Yiwei's commander Zuo Tongzhi is Liu Da. If he wants to get closer to the commander's position, he must get rid of Liu Da.Everyone in the government and the public knows that Liu Da is Yan Shifan's brother-in-law. If the Yan Party falls, Liu will naturally lose power.

He Liu returned to the prison.

Yang Lian was half lying in the cell.His legs and buttocks were already bloody.

He Liu asked Lao Hu to unlock the prison door, and the two entered the prison.

He Liu opened the brocade box and said, "This is the Annan snake gall bestowed by the emperor. Swallowing it can relieve pain."

Yang Lian managed to squeeze out a smile, and said something that made the two of them admire: "I, Yang Lian, have the guts, so I don't need this!"

He Liu said sincerely: "Brother Yang Shi is a real man!"

Yang Lian said to Lao Hu again: "Could you please excuse me and get me a bowl of water?"

Lao Hu hurriedly brought Yang Lian a bowl of water.

Yang Lian held the celadon bowl: "Gudong Gudong." He drank it.

When he lowered his head, he saw many pieces of broken flesh hanging from the side of his right thigh.

Yang Lian said to Lao Hu: "It's too dark here, please give me a lamp."

Lao Hu thought that Yang Lian wanted to check his injuries, so he brought him a lamp.

"Crack!" Yang Lian smashed the celadon bowl into pieces.

He Liu and Lao Hu didn't know what he was going to do.

The scene of the next utterance made He Liu and Lao Hu, the two eunuchs in brocade clothes, shudder.

Yang Lian sat there very quietly, with his head lowered, and took the broken porcelain pieces to cut the rotten flesh on his legs.

He didn't have the Mafeisan prepared by Li Shizhen, nor the white towel to gag his mouth, but with a calm expression, he kept cutting the rotten meat with porcelain slices.Porcelain is not sharp, and rotten meat is not easy to cut.This was an unbearable pain, but Yang Lian didn't groan at all.

The sound of rubbing porcelain and rotten meat echoed in the cell, and in the dark Jinyiwei Prison, it spoke of the strength and courage of a loyal minister who has never been seen before or since.

He Liu finally couldn't stand it anymore: "Brother Yang Shi, I'll get you a small knife."

Yang Lian wiped the cold sweat off his forehead with his left hand, and said, "No need. This porcelain piece is enough."

The rotten flesh has been scraped clean.The bone was exposed, Yang Lian gritted his teeth, and began to scrape the broken fascia attached to the bone.

Old Hu, who was holding the lamp, felt his scalp go numb.He wanted to leave the cell, but his legs were nailed in place and he couldn't move.

As a person who has served in Jinyiwei for 40 years, Lao Hu has seen countless tortured criminals and heard countless heart-piercing groans.But now, holding up the oil lamp, facing the calm Yang Lian in front of him, he felt a shock that penetrated to the marrow of his bones!
Old Hu's old hands began to tremble.Firelight flickered in the cell.

A calm voice broke the silence in the cell.

"Don't move, Lord Hu, I can't see clearly!"

He Liu really couldn't stand it anymore.He turned around and went out of the cell, and asked the guard Xiaoqi officer for a dagger.

"Brother Yang, my Lord Yang! You should use this!" He Liu said.

Yang Lian forced a smile, "I've already scraped off the rotten flesh and tendons."

He Liu saw that the pieces of porcelain had been thrown on the ground.Next to the tiles were more than a dozen pieces of rotten meat and a small pile of fascia.

He Liu, a man who claims to be brave, actually vomited out with a "wow"!
Yang Lian actually laughed at He Liu: "Master He, you are the Grand Protector of Jin Yiwei, and you have seen countless lives and deaths. Why are you so timid?"

Lao Hu said in a trembling voice: "It is said that Guan Erye scrapes the bones and heals the poison and bravely conquers the world. I have never seen Guan Erye. Today I have seen it. Yang Qianyuan, you are the real good man who bravely conquers the world!"

Yang Lian said casually: "Everyone thinks that scholars in Ming Dynasty are weak scholars with no strength to restrain their chickens. In fact, real scholars all have backbone! What's the point of scraping a few pieces of rotten meat?"

He Liu and Lao Hu found white cloth and golden sore medicine, and bandaged Yang Lian's wound.

He Liudao: "The emperor has a decree, besides the court stick, he will exile you for three thousand miles. You will leave soon."

Yang Lian asked, "Oh? Where are you going?"

He Liudao: "Go to Gansu Town. Master Yang, don't worry, I will find a few reliable warriors to escort you all the way to Gansu. I will never let the Yan Party's people assassinate you halfway!"

Yang Lian said: "Then there is Mr. Lao He. By the way, I have one more request."

He Liu asked, "What's the matter?"

Yang Lian said: "Before I go to Gansu Town, I want to meet my friend, Wang Shizhen, the military commander of Qingzhou, Shandong. I wonder if Mr. He and Mr. Hu can give me this convenience?"

Old Hu patted his chest and said, "No problem! The prison is our own territory. Master Yang can see whoever he wants!"

He Liu reminded Yang Lian: "Your Majesty Yang is going to Shangao, Gansu, and the road is far away. Is your family settled properly? Beware of the strict party murdering your family to vent your anger!"

Yang Lian smiled: "I've thought of this level a long time ago. I asked Wang Shizhen to tell him to take my family to Shandong. There are two capitals and thirteen provinces, and only one province in Shandong has the governor to go to the prefectures and counties. They are all from King Yu. It is safe for my family to go to Shandong."

He Liudao: "Since that's the case, Master Yang, let's rest first. Lao Hu and I will find some reliable fighters and arrange for you to go to Gansu."

He Liu and Lao Hu exited the cell.

A few years later, He Liu told a historian of the Imperial Academy about Yang Lian's use of broken porcelain pieces to cut flesh and bones.The historian recorded this incident in the annals of history.

Yang Liangong, shines in the annals of history, and his name will last forever!
Of course, these are all things to come.
