As soon as Zhang Shisan turned around, he saw that Xia Xun's face was pale, his teeth were clenched, and his legs were shaking slightly. If he hadn't been holding on to the wall board, he might have fallen to the ground. It turned out that he was not not afraid, he was just struggling to hold on.
As he stood there, he couldn't help but laugh at his own paranoia, and then he said leisurely: "Dead people are ignorant and ignorant, what is there to be afraid of? The truly terrible thing is not death, but that life is worse than death."
Do you know what it feels like when ladles of hot water are poured on a person? He will scream like a demon. Even after three days and three nights, his terrifying screams will continue to echo in your ears.
Sound, no matter you are awake or asleep. Pour boiling water on your body, and then use an iron brush to brush off the rotten flesh layer by layer, mixing it with the blood until his thick white bones are exposed. The scene is like hell.
There is also intestinal hooking, which is a very interesting punishment. You need to use an iron hook and need to know very good skills to hook a person's intestines out of the lower body. The prisoner is tied there and can only watch.
As he watched a part of his body getting farther and farther away from him, he would feel that his stomach was gradually becoming empty, and his belly was deflating little by little...
However, I don’t like such complicated punishments. When I was thirteen years old, I inherited my father’s position and joined the Royal Guards, serving under Commander Chiang Kai-shek. Later..., in fact, the simpler the punishment, the more enjoyable it is to use it. When I use punishment on criminals, I only
You need an iron drill, first put it into the furnace and heat it red, then strip the prisoner naked and tie him to the execution bed. You don't need any tricks, just put the red-hot iron rod into the fleshy parts of the prisoner's body and hit it hard.
With a fierce stab, the iron hammer came in. He couldn't struggle, but every piece of flesh on his body was beating desperately. He would use all his strength and let out a shrill scream. Green smoke rose from the wound, and blood and water
The grease is gurgling out from the wound, hehe..."
Zhang Shisan laughed nervously: "Our Jinyi Guards are divided into South Town and North Town. North Town is for the outside world, and South Town is for the inside. For those Jinyi Guards who have broken the law and are disobedient, Nan Town Fusi's criminal law tricks and
Beizhen Fusi is equally exciting..., you don’t have to be afraid, as long as you obey my instructions, you will have merit and no fault, and you will not have the chance to enjoy the punishment of Jinyiwei."
The corners of Xia Xun's eyes suddenly twitched, but he quickly regained his composure.
Zhang Shisan took the body out and said calmly: "This woman's name is Tingxiang. Yang Wenxuan bought it from Cuiyan Tower in Tai'an Prefecture for two hundred guan. When Yang Wenxuan was assassinated, she was right next to her and witnessed everything.
She was a human being, so I killed her. Since 'Yang Wenxuan' is safe and sound, there must be an explainable reason for Ting Xiang's death, so I brought her here..."
The body was carried to the rolling Gushui River by two people. Zhang Shisan glanced at Xia Xun worriedly and asked, "Do you remember everything I just taught you?"
Xia Xun nodded heavily, and Zhang Shisan smiled: "Very good, be smart and act according to the plan."
He turned back and took two steps, then suddenly remembered something, looked back and asked: "Do you know the nature of water?"
There are very few people in the south of the Yangtze River who don't know the nature of water. What's more, when they first met, Xia Xun was holding a bunch of fish caught with his bare hands, so Xia Xun didn't hide this and answered calmly: "I understand, I am very good at water."
OK, you can catch fish with your bare hands."
Zhang Shisan shook his head slightly and said: "But Yang Xu doesn't understand water and is completely a landlubber. You must remember this and don't show any flaws after falling into the water. From today on, in front of people who are familiar with Yang Wenxuan, you must
Be careful, you don’t understand water properties.”
"yes!"
Zhang Shisan suddenly remembered something and asked: "Can you ride a horse?"
Xia Xun shook his head, and Zhang Shisan smiled bitterly and said: "Yang Xu knows how to ride a horse, and his riding skills are very good. It seems that after arriving at Qishishan, you have one more thing to learn."
Xia Xun watched Zhang Shisan's figure go away until he completely disappeared into the jungle, then squatted down next to Tingxiang's body.
He gently held up Tingxiang's head. The girl's neck was soft and her skin was cold to the touch. Even though she had become a corpse, her beautiful face and moving body were still very attractive to men.
You can imagine what a charming beauty she must have been when she was alive.
Xia Xun sighed softly: "Miss Tingxiang, take a good look when you are reincarnated...find a good family in the next life..."
He gently wiped Miss Tingxiang's eyelids, but her eyes were still wide open. Xia Xun stared at those heart-stopping eyes, and after a long while, he whispered: "The girl's life is miserable, and so is mine."
Ku, you and I are in the same boat. I know that the girl will never die in peace. If you have a soul in heaven, please protect me."
He gently wiped it with his hand again. He didn't know whether it was because the stiff skin of the girl listening to the fragrance had begun to melt and relax, or because her unwilling soul really understood Xia Xun's words.
The heart-stopping eyes finally closed.
Xia Xun held up her body and pushed it gently into the river, watching her float up and down into the distance until her figure completely disappeared. Then he took off his robe and jumped into the water with only a pair of calf-nosed trousers.
He soaked himself completely, wiped the water marks on his face, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Help! Help..."
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
There is a Linjiazhuang two miles down the river. The landowner of Linjiazhuang is named Lin Wudou.
Xia Xun, who was flopping and struggling in the water, was dragged up by Zhang Shisan and others who came from the news. Then the group quickly rushed to Linjiazhuang. Under the leadership of the villagers, they found the land security guard and explained to him that he was bringing his female dependents with him.
Passing by here, while enjoying the cool air by the river, my concubine accidentally slipped and fell into the water. She asked the local security guards to help with the search and rescue, and gave her a thank you gift of five gold coins.
Seeing Xia Xun's generous move, Old Man Lin smiled happily and immediately collected the five treasure banknotes. He beat the gongs and drums to call out all the old and young people in the village to go out and search down the river. After more than an hour, the people in the village were under heavy water conditions.
Slowly, at a fork in the river where the water was relatively shallow, Tingxiang's corpse was found, which was caught by a strange jagged rock.
Tingxiang was a concubine that Xia Xun bought from a brothel for 200 guan. Her life and death would not have attracted much attention. In addition, there were local security guards and numerous villagers who proved that she died of drowning, so the county government
The official sent here simply made a record, and Tingxiang's death was naturally classified as a very common case of slipping and drowning.
It is a principle that has been followed since ancient times that the people do not appoint officials and do not investigate the cause. What's more, if a case occurs in one's own jurisdiction, even if it is subsequently solved, it will be judged as a bad jurisdiction, which will be very detrimental to the future promotion of the county magistrate.
Since everyone agrees that he slipped and fell into the water and drowned, then it is natural that he died by drowning.
Zhang Shisan bought a thin coffin, filled Tingxiang's body, and paid local villagers to bury her in the nearby green mountains. The group continued on the road, and it was not easy to save a life.
In the evening, they arrived at Shishipeng Village.
Xishipeng Village is located at the foot of the northern ridge of Xishishishan Mountain, while Xia Xun's quarry is built at the foot of the east ridge, only more than ten miles away from the village.
Xieshi Mountain is a mountainous area with overlapping rocks, green peaks, mountains upon mountains, ridge upon ridge upon ridge upon ridge upon ridge upon ridge. The mountains are steep and extremely difficult to climb.
The most abundant natural resource here is stone.
Yang Xu built a quarry here at the beginning of the year. It was not just a whim. The fundamental reason was that King Qi wanted to rebuild the palace. It had only been fourteen years since King Qi ruled Qingzhou. Logically speaking, the palace was newly built and did not need repairs.
, let alone rebuilding, but King Zhuzi of Qi came back from a trip to Peiping, and he began to think about rebuilding the palace.
The vassal king and the vassal king adhere to the policy of "the king does not see the king". Unless they are in court or when the royal family is reunited, there is generally no chance to meet. However, there are exceptions, and that is those who have the emperor's orders.
At that time, King Zhu of Qi once led his troops from Shandong on an order to cooperate with King Zhu Di of Yan in his crusade against the Northern Yuan Dynasty. Therefore, he had the opportunity to enter Peiping and saw the palace of King Yan of his fourth brother Zhu Di.
The Prince of Yan's Palace was built on the basis of the imperial palace of Dadu in the Yuan Dynasty. It is large in scale and majestic. Among all the vassals of the Ming Dynasty, the Palace of the Prince of Yan is the most magnificent. When Zhu Laoqi saw his fourth brother's palace, he was like an old rich man from the country entering the palace.
When he saw the grandeur of the wealthy families in the city, he immediately became jealous. When he returned to Qingzhou and looked at his palace, he found that it looked a little different from the Jade Emperor's Lingxiao Palace and the Earth Temple. No matter how he looked at it, he didn't like it.
Yang Xu, who was already in his important position at that time, under the instructions of General Feng, took the opportunity to persuade him to rebuild the Prince of Qi's Palace. The Prince of Qi was already interested, and was encouraged by Yang Xu, so he asked the emperor for an order to rebuild the Palace. Zhu Yuanzhang first used the imperial expenses.
He refused due to nervousness, and wrote a letter to warn his son that greed is like a blazing flame, if it is not contained, it will start a prairie fire; desire is like a flood, if it is not contained, it will surge to the sky. Although the spring at the bottom of the well is not full, it can be used every day, and greed and extravagance will inevitably
The world is not peaceful. As a prince, you must cultivate your virtue and set an example for the world."
King Zhu of Qi was a very headstrong man. Once he made up his mind, he would never look back. After seeing his father's letter, he did not waver. He immediately wrote back with a lot of complaints, saying that his palace had a large population and was built on the site of Longxing Temple.
The Prince of Qi's palace is so simple and small, and how inconvenient it is to live there. He also promised that the imperial government's appropriation does not have to be paid in one lump sum, and that he can use his own salary to advance the expenses, etc. His words are very well-behaved and sincere.
Zhu Yuanzhang was strict with himself and others. He was an extremely frugal person. Even when he became the emperor, he was never willing to spend extravagantly in all aspects. He also demanded the same from officials. But for his son, he had most of them.
It is a common problem for old people to pamper and love him. Seeing how pitiful his son said, he felt a little sad, so he agreed.
Building the palace required a large amount of stone. Yang Wenxuan was close to the water tower, so he took over the business. However, if he purchased the stone from elsewhere and transported it to Qingzhou, it would cost a lot, and the profit he could make would not be much.
Therefore, after finding out that there was a lot of stone in Shishan Mountain, Yang Xu simply invested in building a stone quarry here.
When Xia Xun rushed to the stone quarry, a large amount of stone materials had been piled up at the foot of the hillside, neatly stacked. They were to be transported to Qingzhou in the near future. On the cliffs and hillsides, there were many dark-skinned stones.
