Farmer’s Blessed Girl

Bai Shan and Man Bao looked at each other and immediately kowtowed: "Your Majesty, this person is someone who knows the inside story. Please be kind to His Majesty and allow him to come in and seek justice."

Feng Shangshu said: "If you beat the Dengwen drum, you must beat eighty sticks. This is the rule."

Bai Shan thought to himself, he just asks for affection when he knows that it is a rule.

Bai Shan raised his head and looked at the emperor eagerly and said, "Your Majesty, the eighty sticks will go down, and people will not be able to speak until they die. I beg your Majesty's mercy."

Wei Zhi and Lord Tang helped to intercede, but there were also courtiers who objected. Since the rules were set, they were used to abide by them.

Can it be changed by people?

Bai Shan and Man Bao know that they are right and wrong, but in their opinion, the rule itself is wrong, how can they be punished first?

However, the people in the hall quarreled over this matter.

The King of Yizhou couldn't help but cocked the corners of his mouth. Man Bao couldn't help but feel anxious. They didn't mind wasting time now, but the drums had stopped in front of them, and they must have started to play the board.

Although she has never seen them, they are allies, right?

Man Bao looked at the thoughtful emperor and said, "Your Majesty, the eighty canes will really kill people."

Only then did the emperor regain his senses and frowned: "Okay, let them halve them, and bring them up to the main hall after the fight."

He glanced at the drooping eyes of King Yizhou and said, "I also want to see where King Yizhou's private army is kept."

The people in the hall became quiet, and the emperor asked them to sit back in their seats, leaving only the King of Yizhou and Bai Shan Zhouman still kneeling on the hall.

He was thinking, who is beating the drum?

How could he know where the king of Yizhou kept his private army?

Old Master Tang and Wei Zhi are also thinking, these two children and the Bai family must be hiding something from them, why don't they know that someone will beat the drum?

The people in the hall waited for a long time before the guards used the door panel to carry a man covered in blood over.

They dragged people down the door, forty sticks, and the first twenty sticks were used when the will was not in front of them, until the emperor's verbal order came to the front. The executioner probably guessed that he was the person the emperor wanted to see. The stick is much lighter.

But after the forty sticks came down, he was not seriously injured. He was paralyzed on the ground and tried to sit up with his arms supported, but he couldn't sit up. Instead, he pulled the wound and couldn't help coughing and spitting out several mouthfuls of blood. .

Man Bao turned his head to look and saw at a glance that he suffered internal injuries, and he didn't know whether it was serious or not.

He raised his head to meet Shang Manbao and Bai Shan's concerned eyes, and couldn't help grinning. Although they had never met formally, they had all heard of each other, and they were very related.

Bai Shan pulled Man Bao, and the two moved a little to the side so that he could directly see the emperor sitting above.

The emperor glanced at the wounds on his back and buttocks and asked, "What's your name? Why are you beating the drum?"

Since he couldn't get up, he didn't get up at all, he just lay down on the ground and said, "Go back to your majesty, Xiaomin Xiangchao is from Qingshi County, Suizhou."

Not only the emperor, but also the king of Yizhou couldn't help twitching their eyebrows and clenching their hands in their sleeves.

Xiang Chao slightly tilted his head and glanced at the King of Yizhou, and sneered, "Your Highness, do you think this place name sounds familiar?"

The King of Yizhou said with an expressionless face: "The territory of Great Jin is familiar to this king, not to mention that Suizhou is not far from Yizhou."

"Yes, Suizhou is very close to Yizhou, but it is too close! Your Majesty, the common people told the king of Yizhou to kill Liang and invade the land and raise private soldiers!"

Because of his anger, he raised his entire body, propped up half of his body and looked directly at the emperor: "Dongxi Village, he raised private soldiers in Dongxi Village. And all the tenants in the village were killed, I beg Your Majesty to be the master of all those who died in vain!"

The emperor opened his mouth in astonishment, and stood up suddenly.

Xiang Chao had obviously been waiting for this day for a long time, he took two steps forward, stared at the emperor with tears in his eyes and said, "A total of two hundred and nine people, all of them died, because the Qianwei Weir burst, their Death has been completely covered up, but Your Majesty, they died wrongly, they died wrongly!"

The emperor sat down slowly, stared at the King of Yizhou for a while, and then looked at Xiang Chao, "Just say it, I'll listen."

King Yizhou looked up at him, pursed his mouth tightly, and finally lowered his head without saying a word.

Xiang Chao lay down on the ground again, because of that roar, he was a little exhausted at this time, but his voice still clearly reached the ears of every minister in the hall, every noble family suzerain.

"About six years ago, someone came to the patriarch and wanted to buy our entire Dongxi Village, but the patriarch didn't agree. Our Xiang family's foundation is here, and the ancestral hall is also here. How can we go?" Xiang Chao said: " Later, the man came several times, but they didn't talk to each other, but because of his elegant speech and generous gestures, he became friends with many people in the clan."

Xiang Chao said: "Five years ago, it rained continuously, and there was a river in our village that was connected to the main river. The patriarch called people to prepare for flood control, but no one thought that the Qianwei Weir would burst. At that time, we were still sleeping. In the middle of the year, the flood rumbled down from above, and many people were crushed by the collapsed earth wall before they could react, or were swept away by the water..."

Xiang Chao said with tears: "I can't react at all, my uncle was standing on the high ground a moment ago and shouting to everyone to run to the high ground, and the next moment he was swept away by a wave. Talents scattered about 200 people, and the flood receded a little bit, so we were not reconciled, so we ran back and tried to look around to see if we could rescue some more people..."

"As a result, we returned to the entrance of the village, and some soldiers on high-headed horses rushed out from nowhere, and immediately hacked and killed..."

Xiang Chao turned his head to stare at the King of Yizhou, his eyes were red, and said: "That's not bandits, they are wearing armor, saddles on their horses, and the weapons they use are the best, but they are not sharp enough to attack, I and several brothers fell off. In the back, I ran away... But we don't understand who and who wanted to kill my Xiang clan. Although there are scoundrels and prodigals in our family, we have never had such a great feud. We escaped. After I went there, I quietly came back to see it, but Dongxi Village has built a house again, and there are many people and horses in it..."

Xiang Chao looked away from the King of Yizhou, looked at the emperor again and said, "We went to the magistrate of Qingshi County, he served us tea and said he was going to Dongxi Village to fetch someone to ask, but he turned around and found that We went to the back hall, and we felt it was wrong, so we quietly escaped."

"Afterwards, we were more cautious, and we also kept an eye on the governor of Suizhou. Sure enough, the governor of Suizhou also wanted to hold us," Xiang Chao said, "My cousin said that that person can not only make a county His parents obeyed the order and could have the governor of Yizhou cover him. I'm afraid the identity is not simple. Then we didn't dare to look for the official's house anymore. The state palace."
