Chapter 654: Feeding Tigers with Body
Yin Quan was tilted on the throne in the middle of the stands. On the left was Cheng Jijia, the head of the Blood Shadow Hall, and on the right was the pale princess Ximen Yuxue. Yin Quan has been fascinated by beast fighting recently. Whether it is beast fighting with beasts or humans fighting with beasts, Yin Quan likes it. At this time, Yin Quan was smiling and looking at a civil servant in the Colosseum holding a shield in his left hand and a scimitar in his right hand, but wearing a ragged uniform. This civil servant was the magistrate of Quxiong County, Hengjiang County, Southwest Road. He was named Che Guozhi. He was the magistrate appointed by the imperial court before he enthroned Yin Quan and replaced the Prince of Pingxi.
Now the court has handed over the power of selecting officials in the Southwest Road to King Pingxi, but this small magistrate dared to offend King Pingxi's power, and made a direct remark, and wrote a letter to the King Pingxi's several major crimes of usurpation, such as the construction of the county prince's mansion to a larger scale than the prince's mansion, and the displacement of the people who have been enclosed for land, such as raising countless beautiful concubines and concubines, raising thousands of dead soldiers, etc.
Yin Quan was really angry and asked someone to take Che Guozhi to Sixian Hall, and scolded him in person: "My surname is Yin. My father is the uncle of the current emperor and was appointed Prince Pingxi. I am now inheriting the title and becoming Prince Pingxi. The emperor now personally gave me the title of Prince Pingxi. The emperor personally gave me the inherited Prince Pingxi. I built this grand Pingxi Palace. The court has no objection. What qualifications do you have to point fingers in front of me? The land in the county is my fiefdom. I love so many circles. What are you doing?"
Che Guozhi was furious and said with a resentment: "Prince! The court appointed you as the Prince of Pingxi, who was hereditary, in order to set an example for the kings and let the people under your rule live a good life, rather than letting you silence the people! The Prince's Mansion is even larger than the Prince's Mansion. Isn't it usurpation? Why is a vassal king raising thousands of dead soldiers? Shouldn't he express his own blame? The court is particularly graceful to the prince. Shouldn't the prince manage the vassal areas better and live up to His Majesty's trust?"
The furious Yin Quan and Che Guozhi had a long debate. Yin Quan's more than ten strategists, together with Cheng Jijia, could not argue with Che Guozhi. In the end, Yin Quan was furious and put a spotted tiger that had been hungry for three days into the Colosseum. He asked someone to find a scimitar and a broken round shield. Yin Quan pointed at Che Guozhi's nose and shouted: "Che Guozhi, you, a small magistrate, dare to confront me in person, but I don't want to be with you.
I am thinking about it, and today I will still give you a way out. You will take this scimitar and this round shield to fight against the tigers in the field. As long as you win, I will naturally let you go!"
Che Guozhi is just a civil servant. Although he is not powerless, he is definitely not a master. What is the difference between letting him fight with a scimitar and killing him? Che Guozhi was furious and said, "Prince, if you want to kill me, Che Guozhi, please do it here! Why bother pretending and using the hand of a tiger and a leopard to remove me? Che Guozhi is a magistrate appointed by the court and is not your slave to Pingxi. I will do whatever you ask me to do?"
Yin Quan smiled gloomyly and said, "Che Guozhi! Now the court has handed over the power of selecting officials from the Southwest Road to me. He has made officials at all levels below, and he does not need to be appointed by the court. I can deal with it by myself! This Southwest Road is my Southwest Road. I don't ask you to be the magistrate of Quxiong. What are you not convinced? I asked you to go to fight beasts when you go to fight beasts when you don't dare to go to fight beasts, it's okay. I will kill your family first for your crime of disobeying the king's order! If you go to fight beasts when you go to fight beasts, no matter how you lose, I will be exempted from the death penalty of your whole family! You choose it yourself!"
Che Guozhi was angry and shouted, "Hello, King Pingxi! Hello!" Che Guozhi was helpless. His own life and death could be ignored, but what about the family? There was a 70-year-old mother and eight-year-old child at the bottom. Can he bear to watch them die? Che Guozhi angrily lifted up the scimitar and walked down the Colosseum with a round shield, wanting to fight with the tiger.
Yin Quan looked proud and took Ximen Yuxue, the prince Yin Yueheng, the Blood Shadow Hall leader Cheng Jijia, and the counselors, guards, commanders, officials around him, as well as officials of the royal palace and Yuzhou City, to see how Che Guozhi died. The officials of all sizes were panic and trembled. Some officials with some personal relationships with Che Guozhi shook their heads and sighed, "Oh, this old car shouldn't be advised to the King of Pingxi, the court can't handle it. Those who need comfort, you, a little magistrate, have nothing to do with it? Now, you are going to be buried in the tiger's mouth!
Che Guozhi held a shield in his left hand and a scimitar in his right hand, and was trembling nervously. What is the chance of an ordinary person facing a tiger that had been hungry for three days? The scalloped tiger looked at Che Guozhi with blood red eyes and a low roar in his throat.
Che Guozhi shouted
: "Tiger, tiger, my Che Guozhi is the dignified magistrate of Quxiong. The imperial court has been appointed as an official. Unfortunately, it is not good for the times. It falls into the hands of the traitor of the King of Pingxi. My Che has been hard for ten years and finally passed the imperial examination and was given the grace of the court. He became a magistrate. He has not achieved any political achievements yet. Today, he will die in your mouth. Che is not worthy of death. He only pity my old mother, widow and weak son in my family! Well, when I die today, I am Che, but I am famous in history. Some people will inevitably curse thousands of people in the future and leave a bad reputation for thousands of years!"
Yin Quan in the stands was furious. Che Guozhi was about to die, and he dared to sarcastically mock him. He was really a ghost who was playing swings on the stage in Wangxiang. Yin Quan lowered his face and looked at Cheng Jijia with his boss. Cheng Jijia already understood what Yin Quan meant and nodded and said softly: "Don't worry, please leave the next thing to the Blood Shadow Hall. Che Guozhi's family can't escape!" Yin Quan nodded silently, but Cheng Jijia understood my thoughts.
Everyone in the stands exclaimed, and the spotted tiger had already pounced on it like lightning. With a slap of the front paw, it slapped the shield in Che Guozhi's hand away. Che Guozhi fell on his back. The spotted tiger pressed Che Guozhi's chest with its claws and bit it in one bite, and it was biting Che Guozhi's throat and died in one bite. The scimitar in Che Guozhi's hand had no chance to slash it out. Qu Xiong's magistrate Che Guozhi feeds the tiger with his body.
Ximen Yuxue, the Princess of Pingxi who was forced to see the tiger eat people, screamed and covered her face and dared not look at it again. This scene was too bloody and cruel. Officials of all sizes lowered their heads, and Gu Zuoyan, who was looking down, and everyone was disgraceful and panicked. From this day on, no official in Southwest Road dared to persuade the King of Pingxi. Who would have thought that he would be thrown down to feed the tiger?
Yin Quan reached out and twisted Ximen Yuxue's face, and said unhappily: "Princess, shouldn't you see what the consequences of contradicting me?" Ximen Yuxue shivered and couldn't say a word, she was already scared.
Yin Yueheng beside Ximen Yuxue whispered: "Father, my mother is kind by nature. It is normal for her not to like to watch such a scene. Just have a son accompany her father to watch it!" Yin Quan snorted and then let go of his hand.
A guard from the Blood Shadow Hall hurriedly walked up to the stands and said a few words in Cheng Jijia's ear. Cheng Jijia was shocked and said, "Oh? Is there such a thing?"
