Farming and teaching across different worlds

When he stepped forward, two soldiers came to stop him: "Idlers, please don't approach."

Youfu and others stepped forward to explain the situation, but these two soldiers were more difficult than the little soldier at the door, and they would not let them pass by whatever they said.

Before Ji Xiuran could take out the token, Youfu and the others were dissatisfied and started arguing with them.

The movement on their side immediately alarmed the people inside, Shi Jingchen also found them, said a word to the Minister of War, and walked towards this side.

When he walked in front of Ji Xiuran, he took out a token and signaled the two soldiers to let him go, and the two soldiers backed away after seeing the token.

Ji Xiuran looked at this person carefully, and after finding that he was safe and sound, he was relieved. It was not the time to settle accounts with this person, but he still looked at him with dissatisfaction.

Seeing his expression, Shi Jingchen knew that this person was angry at his concealment, so there was a trace of begging for mercy in his eyes, he stepped forward, naturally stretched out his hand to hold Ji Xiuran's hand, and squeezed it secretly.

Sensing his small movements, Ji Xiuran raised his eyes and gave him a hard look, saying "I'll settle the score with you when I go back", then restrained his anger, followed Shi Jingchen's strength, and walked in.

At this time, several old generals sitting on the high platform watched Shi Jingchen go away, and when they came back, they brought such a good-looking young man back with an intimate look, and they all looked over curiously. The relationship between the two was more curious than looking at the punishment from the other side.

But now the occasion is serious, even though they are very curious, they can only sit there with a calm appearance, just put up one ear and pay attention to the movement here.

He followed Shi Jingchen to the high platform, and greeted the old generals and the Minister of the Ministry of War who were sitting there. The Minister of the Ministry of War, Wang Shang, had heard of them both, so he took the initiative to introduce them to the old generals around him. stand up.

After hearing this, several veteran generals knew about his relationship with Shi Jingchen, and because they loved Shi Jingchen so much, they also looked at him with a kind and pleasant expression, and offered to ask him to stay.

After Ji Xiuran thanked him, he took advantage of the opportunity to stand behind the Minister of War with Shi Jingchen, and looked at the people who were tied there in the field.

Ji Xiuran came here quickly, the punishment has just started, and the military discipline that these people violated is being read out.

Afterwards, the prison officer began to read out their guilt and punishment, and then the execution will be officially carried out.

The executioner held a one-foot-long whip with thick arms in one hand, and a bucket of ice water in the other. When he reached the execution platform, he soaked the whip in ice water, then picked it up, and slammed it with a "snap". The whip was thrown away, and he raised his hand to throw it at the person kneeling in front of him.

Seeing this moment, Ji Xiuran couldn't help but thump in his heart. With this whip, it is estimated that everyone's life will have to be confessed here.

But at this moment, there was a sudden commotion at the entrance, Ji Xiuran turned his head to look over, and saw a few people in fine clothes arguing with some soldiers who stopped them.

From a distance, they could hear their loud reprimands: "This Marquis is the Zhongyong Marquis of the Great Xia Kingdom, let's see who dares to stop me."

Seeing that his words had no effect, the whip was about to be pulled off, and he shouted loudly: "Keep people under the whip!"

At this time, they didn't care about reasoning with these little soldiers, and after using their kung fu to push them away, they quickly ran towards the center of the execution platform.

Walking to the executioner, he snatched the whip and threw it out, then squatted down to check the tied person.

At this time, everyone on the high platform saw the intruder's arrogance, and their expressions immediately became gloomy.

Shangshu Dang of the Ministry of War stood up, faced the crowd in the middle of the execution platform, nervously checking his son for any wrongdoing, and scolded: "Loyalty, Uncle Zhongyi, how dare you dare to trespass into the Department of Criminal Law of the Ministry of Military Affairs and obstruct Punishment."

Zhongyonghou and others had checked his son at this time and found that there was nothing serious, then stood up and looked at the people on the high platform, and said with a pale face: "Wang Shang, I haven't blamed you yet, but you have reprimanded him." Come on me, you are a brave dog, you dare to punish this marquis's son."

After hearing what he said, Wang Shangshu's face became even more ugly, and he retorted: "Son of Zhongyonghou, if you violate military discipline, you must be dealt with according to military law. Since you have joined the army, you will be under the management of the Ministry of War. You should get out of the way quickly, or you will be punished for obstructing me." Official crime."

After hearing this, Zhongyong Hou looked at Wang Shangshu with a gloomy face, and said dissatisfiedly: "I am standing here, I will see who dares to cure the original crime."

Seeing that Zhongyonghou was ignorant, he began to tangle up. Wang Shangshu was also annoyed by his rascal, but he couldn't do anything about him for a while, and the situation became stalemate for a while.

At this time, the old general Gongyi who was sitting next to him saw the friendship between him and Lao Zhongyonghou, and took the initiative to persuade him: "Boy Yu, don't entangle any more, the emperor has already ordered this matter, and what you say will not help the matter. "

At this time, Zhongyonghou looked at the old generals sitting beside him, and begged on his knees: "Please, all generals, look at the face of the ancestors of the Yu family and save my family's only seedling."

After being begged by him, the faces of several old generals suddenly became ugly.

He clearly said it before, this is the emperor's will, and he begged them so blatantly, isn't he embarrassing them, and at the same time, he was dissatisfied with this loyal and brave man who didn't know good or bad.

I couldn't help snorting coldly in my heart, thinking, since the old man passed away, these younger generations in his family are really getting worse and worse.

Seeing his behavior like this, an upright old general scolded him dissatisfied: "You still have the nerve to mention your ancestors. If your ancestors of the Yu family knew what you did, they might be able to jump out of the coffin and strangle you to death." You, look at what your good son has done, embezzling military expenses, gathering people to gamble, neglecting training, smuggling arms, which one is not a capital offense, you still have the face to intercede for him here."

Another old general who couldn't see him also said: "If you really want to save your son, go and ask the emperor."

At this time, Zhong Yonghou heard the words of these two old generals and knew that there was no hope of saving his son, so he immediately knelt down on the ground, his face ashen.

Wang Shangshu saw that he had calmed down, and immediately signaled the people on both sides to step forward and pull these people away. Although these people struggled a few times unwillingly, they were finally pulled away.

Chapter 157

Only then did the executioner step forward to continue the execution, and the victim's skin was torn apart as soon as the whip was beaten down, and his face showed painful desperate struggle.

Ji Xiuran who was standing on the high platform couldn't bear to watch.

But this is just the beginning. The punishment for these people this time will last for ten days, and each person will receive twenty lashes per day.

This punishment is relatively light compared to the previous punishments from the Department of Criminal and Precepts, but even so, these pampered and pampered sons of aristocratic families couldn't bear it, and passed out after ten lashes.

Even so, the punishment did not stop. After ordering to wake up with cold water, the remaining ten lashes were continued. After the last twenty lashes, these people were covered in blood and passed out.

During the whole process, Zhongyonghou and others were watching from the sidelines, crying and wanting to step forward, but they couldn't stop them, they could only watch helplessly, unable to do anything.

Ji Xiuran stood on the high platform and looked at them coldly. He didn't feel sympathy for these people at all. If he had known why he had done it before, if he had disciplined him well, he would not be here today. Looking at the crimes committed by these people, such a punishment is not too light. Woolen cloth.

After the execution of the sentence, the Minister of the Ministry of War ordered these people to be carried down and locked up. Zhong Yonghou and others also left.

At this time, the Minister of the Ministry of War stood up and began to admonish the generals and soldiers standing around.

The purpose of punishment is not to punish, but to give people a warning.

Today marks the re-opening of the Department of Criminal and Precepts for more than ten years, and all the generals and soldiers are gathered here. Of course, Lord Minister of the Ministry of War will not miss this opportunity.

Shi Jingchen and Ji Xiuran also stood there quietly, listening carefully.

After Lord Shangshu announced their departure, the two of them stepped forward to salute and leave.

After getting back in the carriage, Ji Xiuran sat there, looking at Shi Jingchen coldly, his eyes were full of dissatisfaction, he hadn't settled the matter with him before.

Seeing him like this, Shi Jingchen knew that this was something to be investigated, so he took the initiative to sit beside him, held his hand tightly, and explained: "Brother, I didn't intend to hide it, but the matter before is not conclusive. Did not elaborate."

Ji Xiuran expressed that he did not accept his explanation, and still looked at him accusingly, Shi Jingchen immediately continued helplessly: "You also know that the situation in Jinhaiwei is complicated this time. , and submitted it to the Ministry of War, but the matter was so important that the Ministry of War could not make a decision, so Brother Wei came back and reported it to the emperor, which is how this punishment was issued."

Speaking of which, the dozen or so people punished today are the sons of the aristocratic families whom he let Liu Zhuang and others stare at before.

These people are domineering and making waves in Jinhaiwei. Just these few people have stirred up the whole Jinhaiwei.Before he took office, he didn't act in a hurry, but hibernated and let people stare at them, and finally got their conclusive evidence, and then took them down in one fell swoop.

After clearing up these people and rectifying them, Jin Haiwei became much clearer immediately.

In this way, he regained the power of Jinhaiwei, and it went much smoother.

After hearing what he said, Ji Xiuran's expression softened a little, and then thinking of what happened this time, he asked suspiciously: "What is the emperor's intention to reopen the Criminal Division this time?"

Shi Jingchen saw that he was no longer looking at him coldly, he was in a better mood, and he had time to gossip with Ji Xiuran, so he expressed his guess
