You Qi was urgently called back from Luo's house by his confidant servant.

Since Zhang Juzheng became the chief minister, he took over the power and gradually became less strict with himself than before. There were many concubines around him. As Zhang Juzheng's most trusted confidant, Yu Qi was naturally not the only one in the outer room of Hu. Compared with Hu's charming and charming service, Luo, who was born in a good family, was gentle and charming. Most importantly, there were two clever officials who had to get Luo's sister and niece as concubines, and he had to get into a relationship with his brother-in-law. After running forward, he suddenly had the illusion of being a literati, even though he was trying to buy a crown and take the birth of a good family, but he was still planning.

But when he returned to Zhang's mansion in a panic, he was facing Zhang Juzheng's thunder and furious. What he didn't expect was that it was not someone else who ran to Zhang Juzheng to complain, but Xu Jue! Although the report did not seem to be the thing he was most worried about, but his private matters of taking a concubine in private, and even a personal matter with the Beijing officials as a brother-in-law, he only looked at the master's angry face and knew that this matter alone would be difficult for him to escape the beating. What's more, Xu Jue obviously accepted such a generous gift from him, but he chose to report it today, Zhang Juzheng's retreat day. Is it Xu Jue's own injury, or is it more instructed by Feng Bao?

Therefore, when Zhang Jingxiu and his brothers came and brought Wang Fulin, a guest he unexpectedly, although You Qi felt humiliated, he could only grit his teeth. However, when his whole body was pressed on a wide spring stool and his hands and feet were tied up, he still felt a little deep fear.

Not long ago, he had just seen Feng Bangning crying in pain under the murderous rod. Why was it his turn so soon? Could it be his retribution... or was Feng Bao's revenge after he noticed the clues? If it were the latter, would there be more terrifying revenge after this blow? At this moment, he heard a low voice.

"Master, how many fights?"

"No orders are allowed, no stop!"

Hearing these simple seven words, You Qi was so scared that he was shocked. Although he knew that Zhang Juzheng, as the chief minister of the dynasty, would never make trouble for the monk's law and eventually cause death, he could imagine how difficult this family law was to be. He struggled to raise his head and looked at Xu Jue with an extremely resentful look, but he noticed that there seemed to be a hint of apology and pity in Xu Jue's eyes. He was shocked immediately. Before he could speak, a piece of cloth was stuffed into his mouth. Obviously, it was different from Feng Bao's punishment of his nephew at that time, but someone did not want him to speak this time!

Wang Fulin was just a guest, and Zhang Jingxiu, the sons, didn't know the cause and effect, so no one came to explain this to him. However, the conflict between Yao Kuang, the leader of the Zhang Mansion, and Feng Bao's nephew Feng Bangning was very popular. Feng Bao personally sentenced Feng Bangning to forty strokes, and Yao Kuang also got 40 family rules. He knew it. As for whether You Qi was making a fool of him, he certainly knew it even more.

Therefore, when You Qi was actually tied up with his pants in public, and two servants pressed their shoulders and the other held their legs, and the other was serving them with bamboo sticks, he knew that the trap he laid for You Qi step by step worked. He had expected this situation and was happy to see it happen.

If You Qi was a scheming person, he would never have stepped into these traps. Unfortunately, he was a guy who jumped up and down and took charge of power. Otherwise, how could he dare to join forces with the eunuch of Nanjing in Nanjing without Zhang Juzheng's instructions to make such a big fuss in the Nanzhili Provincial Examination? Zhang Juzheng kept him and was afraid that he would have to use his mouth to promote this scene. As for keeping Xu Jue to watch... I'm afraid that it was because the beat You Qi was about to be beaten today was inseparable from Xu Jue or Feng Bao behind Xu Jue!

Wang Fulin has been a human being for several years. He has seen the scene of pulling people down and beating the board more than once or twice. He has long since been horrified at the beginning to now being commonplace. Therefore, when he saw the two servants of the Zhang family who were punishing the law waving bamboo sticks left and right, every time they fell down, there was a red mark on his butt. He had a serious face but still had time to observe the expressions of others from the corner of his eyes. He saw that the brothers Zhang Jingxiu had tense faces, and even with every painful moan, they would tremble or tremble slightly, and Xu Jue was not much better, and he looked very funny with his thighs.

Zhang Juzheng pursed his lips tightly, his brows frowned slightly, his face no longer as angry as when he first saw it, but it seemed to hide an emotion that he could not understand. He didn't dare to look at this prime minister who was unquestionable. He glanced at just one glance and withdrew his gaze, but went to look at You Qi again. With this glance, he found that at some point, You Qi struggled to raise his head and stared at him, his eyes full of resentment. He didn't believe that he had just teased and took back all his tentacles. The Jinyiwei and the East Factory had nothing to gain. You Qi could detect any clues and simply looked at each other calmly without dodging.

He noticed Wang Fulin's calm and fearless eyes, and You Qi's tense nerves were beaten away by the painful whisper of the mark in a moment, and he had no strength to maintain his head-raising posture. If his hands and feet were not tied tightly to the heavy spring stool, and someone pressed his shoulders and legs, he would have no idea how he would have struggled in pain. He remembered the forty sticks that Feng Bangning had been hit by, and remembered the victims who were regarded as guests of honor in some government offices and saw some of the bitter masters who were dragged over because of his words...Those things he thought he would never remember in his life suddenly appeared in his memory.

Over the years, he relied on Zhang Juzheng's power to rampant outside, and even went to the government to talk about human favors. Whether it was Shuntian Prefecture, Wanping County of Daxing, or even the prefectures and counties that passed on the way to Jiangling Prefecture, he ended up being completely reversed by non-right or wrong. At that time, he was disdainful of the pain suffered by others, but now it seems like it is a cause and effect, and he has suffered.

Because Zhang Juzheng ordered that no one should stop, no one was counting, and bystanders like Wang Fulin had to secretly judge in their hearts. Perhaps the family law was no more than the punishment staff of Jinyiwei and Dongchang. Perhaps it was because You Qi was thicker than Feng Bangning's skin and flesh. After more than fifty strokes, the once popular chief supervisor of the Zhang family fainted for the first time.

At this time, Zhang Juzheng had just ordered the chief squad who had taken Zhang Jingxiu and Wang Fulin and others to go out and summon all the servants in the outer courtyard. The Zhang Mansion in this Dashamao Hutong was given by Emperor Wanli after he became the chief minister. Before that, he lived in the outer city, so many of the servants had only been five years since they entered the mansion. When they gathered here, they saw that the general manager You Qi, who had no choice but to talk to the past, was lying on the spring stool. He was beaten to his butt, and some timid people suddenly got so scared that their faces turned pale.

"You Qi is good at doing good deeds, making friends with officials, and privately taking care of the outdoor room, and violating family rules. Today, I will be here to make a warning. From now on, if anyone dares to violate it, it will be the end of this!"

After coldly put down these words, Zhang Juzheng shouted in a deep voice: "Wake up!"

A bowl of cold water poured on his head, and You Qi, who was awake, saw clearly that there were many servants from all directions. He immediately realized that the master was clearly trying to kill one to warn him today. Sure enough, the next moment, he felt that there was a more violent pain from his butt than before. After two or three times, he was shocked to realize that the bamboo stick seemed to have been soaked in salt water again.

In the eyes of outsiders, after just five or six strokes, there was no good piece of meat on You Qi's already scarred butt, and the bamboo stick was gradually concentrated on his thighs. After a moment, it went from red to purple, and finally it was skin and flesh.

After a thin bamboo stick was sold, You Qi fainted four times, until he was completely dying. Zhang Juzheng stopped. Wang Fulin, who was counting silently in secret, had already counted ninety-seven times, almost over a hundred. Even though he was no better than Brother Chu, who had never seen such a cruel scene in the Zhang family, could not help but feel ashamed.

Since the second year of Longqing, things like court sticks have temporarily disappeared, but the government has had flogging and cane punishment. Dongchang and Jinyiwei interrogated prisoners and could not cut off this kind of corporal punishment. As for the current family law of powerful people, it is even more impossible to ban it. Thinking about the fact that Zhang Juzheng's love storm really fermented, the Jinyiwei and Dongchang's long-term tragedy skills may have re-entered people's memories.

"Send You Qi to the clinic and pay enough medical treatment. From now on, all You Qi's family will be opened and removed from the palace. If there is any rumor that you want to regard yourself as the Zhang family, you will immediately send the post to Shuntian Mansion for treatment!"

When You Qi, who was still a little more conscious, was anxious when he heard this. However, he was blocked with a cloth scroll and could not say a word. He could only listen helplessly to the slaves around the house, and carried the spring bench out. When he arrived at the gate, he thought that there were no one outsiders waiting for the audience. After seeing this scene, the revenge of the old enemies would definitely make him unlucky, and he didn't have to expect those who had known brothers to help him in time. He immediately became desperate. At this moment, he could only hear a voice from behind.

"Wait a minute!"

Thinking that someone was pleading for him, Zhang Juzheng took back Chengming, but he could hear that it was Xu Jue's voice, and You Qi's heart immediately sank. As expected, the next moment, he could only hear Xu Jue speak: "You Qi has been with the Prime Minister for so many years, and he has worked hard without any credit. Now the Prime Minister is angry, so he is so depressed. Let's send someone to the Feng family. Mr. Feng was raising a stick sore before, and the doctor has been staying in the mansion. This is just a piece of healing the wound. Don't worry, I just reported to the Prime Minister for this matter."

The two Zhang family servants looked at each other. To be honest, carrying the Chunstool to send You Qi, who had completely lost his master's favor, to the clinic. This is not a good job. If someone is willing to take over, it would be the best. But Zhang Juzheng blamed You Qi for his own decision. If they made their own decisions, what would it end? Even if Xu Jue said he had reported it, they would not dare to believe it. Fortunately, a squad came out of the inside and nodded slightly at them. Then they put down the Chunstool with relief. Soon, Xu Jue called the two Feng family members to take over and carried the person out of the Zhang family.

You Qiwan never expected that Xu Jue would propose such a plan to Zhang Juzheng, and Zhang Juzheng actually agreed! He was still tied to the spring stool and could not move, but he could no longer care about the countless surprised gazes behind Zhang's mansion, and even the humiliation that was equivalent to parading in the streets, as well as those pointing fingers and discussions. He had no strength to struggle and tried his best to look at Xu Jue, hoping that he could remove the cloth strip that gags, at least to restore his ability to speak, and to give all the conditions to exchange the possibility of survival.

Feng Bao would not be so kind tolerant of him, the person who was driven out by Zhang Juzheng, was afraid that he would not even want to die at that time!

Sure enough, after leaving Dashamao Hutong and walking around the middle and east of several alleys, it became clear that the more secluded he was walking, You Qi found that the speed of traveling slowed down. Then, Xu Jue got off the horse next to him, but he bent down and whispered: "You Qi, although we have some fighting spirit, I don't want to help you. You did it too much this time. I dare not disobey Eunuch Feng's order, and I can only say sorry to you here. Within one or two years, Eunuch Feng will let you live, but you can just have a good life? Just have a good idea in your heart. You must know that your family will take it over at that time. If you don't think about yourself, you will think about them."

Xu Jue, you bastard!

If You Qi hadn't been blocked in his mouth, he would have wished to spit on his mouth and curse the hypocritical Xu Jue. However, he had no ability and could only watch Xu Jue make a gesture and the group continued to move forward. When the spring bench finally lifted into Feng's mansion, You Qi lowered his head in despair, and there was no hope in his heart? Sure enough, when he was carried to a yard deep in the middle, he could only hear Feng Bangning's resentful voice coming from inside.

"Put him medicine first to treat his injuries. In two or three days, I will see if I'll cure him well!"

In Zhang Mansion Study, Wang Fulin was here again, and naturally thought of the scene where Wang Daokun and his brothers were also there when they first entered Beijing. Others may be excited about the scene where the prime minister was summoned separately in his private house, but he was mostly wary of him. After all, even Zhang Jue asked Zhang Juzheng to ask for You Qi before, Zhang Juzheng actually allowed him to witness it. As an outsider, isn’t this a bit too much?

"Tell me, why are you not happy to stay in the Censorate? It's really just because of the previous oath?"

Hearing this straightforward question, Wang Fulin thought that he was prepared for a long time, and immediately said calmly: "Sir, although I was the Censor of Guangdong before and impeached several people, what really made Guangdong officials and the people praised were those practical things such as pacifying the thief and promoting academics. I would like to say a very ruthless saying, there are many censors in the technicians who are arrogant and straightforward, and I don't want to join him!" (To be continued.)
