Section 24 Killing a servant and persuading his wife
In our history, resourcefulness has always been demonized. This is the conclusion that Yun Ye came to after his personal experience after arriving in the Tang Dynasty. Li Jing's surprise attack on Jieli in the snowy night was just taking advantage of the cold weather and running hundreds of miles to attack.
Jieli's camp has only one core content, which is to be unexpected.
Most wars do not involve any cunning tactics. They rely on the strength of the battlefield and the use of combat skills. Whoever can use their strength to the greatest extent may win, which also includes courage and strength.
Skill.
Xue Wanche's plan is to let the emperor and the empress see their invincible general. Now humiliating him at the hands of slaves is enough. On the one hand, it can let the emperor and his wife see their incomparable respect for the imperial power, and on the other hand, he can tell the emperor about his past.
The glory gained by his meritorious deeds is not as good as that of a slave favored by a princess.
His plan was so simple. Now he succeeded. As soon as he entered the princess mansion, a strong smell of blood came from inside. As a warrior on the battlefield, he is most familiar with this smell. This human blood, other animals
My blood does not have such a strong fishy smell, and the smell does not spread so far.
The old servant who had been serving him since he was a child took the reins of the horse from Xue Wanche's hand. Just as he was about to speak, Xue Wanche ordered: "This is the horse of the Marquis Yun's family. It is a good horse. Feed it more beans and give it a coat."
Get on the blanket. You ran too fast just now and the sweat on your body hasn't gone off yet. Don't be lazy.
The old servant bowed and stepped back. Xue Wanche entered the inner house with his riding crop. There were five or six tattered corpses piled under the plum tree. It was obvious at a glance that they had been killed with a stick. A servant wearing a black gauze stood with his arms folded.
In the yard, cold eyes stared at the trembling slaves in the yard. On the ground next to them, six more servants were pinned to the ground to be punished. Sixteen eunuchs from the inner court who were in charge of the punishment were executed in turn. The slaves did not say a word.
Because a wooden walnut tied with a rope was stuffed in the mouth, it could only make a whining sound. The water and fire stick hit the slave's buttocks and back like hitting a sack full of grain, and only made a snapping sound. Xue Wanche
I am very satisfied with the sound. It shows that I have not held back at all.
After all, Danyang was a delicate girl. She had never experienced these cruel scenes. She wanted to escape, but two eunuchs held her tightly and ensured that she could witness such cruel execution scenes.
Danyang saw Xue Wanche coming back and shouted: "Husband..." She wanted to ask Xue Wanche to beg the eunuch to spare the horseman who was being tortured. She liked this man very much.
Before he could finish the sentence, Xue Wanche interrupted him and said: "Princess, don't worry. I have already had breakfast in Yushan. I am not hungry now. I have not been in the army for a long time. I am already unfamiliar with these punishments. I didn't expect to appreciate them at home."
It is indeed not easy to use such a skillful technique. Princess, take a good look, they are all good at using torture."
The chamberlain with no flesh on his face listened to Xue Wanche's words and said with a smile: "Xuehou is unaware of something. The methods of execution in the army are different from those in the palace. We saw executions in the army when we accompanied His Majesty in the Liaodong campaign.
Pass."
Xue Wanche laughed and said: "It turns out that you are a man who has been on the battlefield. Your Majesty is marching eastward. My old Xue is also in the army to protect your majesty. We have never met. Maybe it is my luck that old Xue will see him during his execution in the army."
I have seen countless execution methods in the palace, this is the first time I have seen it. I would like to listen to the opinions of the chamberlain."
The chamberlain laughed loudly and pointed at Xue Wanche and said: "Fortunately, you obeyed the law in the army and did not get angry with His Majesty. Do you know Mr. Zhang Liang and Mr. Zhang? After being beaten with a stick, he complained incessantly. This is what His Majesty cannot ask for."
Let’s kill you. Let’s show you the palace’s methods.”
After saying this, he flicked his fingers, and saw that the chamberlains who were executing the executions immediately increased the frequency of swinging their sticks. The sticks hit the slaves who were being tortured and made a popping sound, mixed with the sound of slight bone breaking.
Xue Wanche listened for a while and then said to the proud-looking chamberlain: "This is clearly a light-weight attack on the outside. The skin and flesh will be intact, but the bones will be broken inch by inch. It's a good method."
The waiter smiled and flicked his fingers again, and saw that the impact points of the sticks began to gradually move upwards. The walnuts in their mouths had been taken out, but no sound was made.
The chamberlain proudly said to Xue Wanche: "Xue Hou, this move is called driving the lungs. If you practice it to the extreme, you can drive all the internal organs and lungs out of your mouth. Children can't practice it at home, they can only rush the lungs."
Xue Wanche laughed loudly and squatted down in front of the groom, his eyes as cold as ice. He was ready to see how the man's lungs were driven out with the stick.
The waiter did not tell lies. The groom was no longer able to ask for help from the princess. Blood kept pouring out of his mouth, mixed with some pink internal organs. He tried his best to push his body up, and a large piece of his lungs spurted out.
More than ten feet away, his head dropped heavily and stopped moving.
Xue Wanche kicked the lung lobe with his foot and said to the chamberlain with a smile: "I don't know what the difference is between the punishment of men and women. Old Xue, I have only seen men being tortured in the army, but I have never seen women being tortured."
"What's so difficult about this? Your Majesty only ordered a punishment. Your Majesty said that he would be beaten to death. He only punished the man, but not the man! The punishment is not enough. Come on, please bring five more women out and continue the punishment."
The servant's understatement immediately caused the maids to become a mess. Danyang looked at the maids who were screaming in confusion, then looked at Xue Wanche, whose eyes were as cold as ice, and begged: "If you want to punish me, punish me, don't kill me."
they."
Xue Wanche said to Danyang with a smile on his face: "Thank you to Marquis Yun. If he hadn't forced me to stay at his house and have breakfast, the people around you would have died. I and Marquis Yun are like this."
A man fought three battles on the battlefield and killed countless enemies before he achieved today's glory. How could he be humiliated at the hands of slaves? Marquis Yun has a good heart, but I am not. If you see me on the battlefield, you will definitely think you are in hell.
The evil ghost climbing up.
This father-in-law has also been on the battlefield. If you ask him, you will know what Marquis Yun looked like when he came off the battlefield. The situations I have experienced are ten times more tragic than what Marquis Yun has experienced. Human life is nothing like grass in our eyes.
Not really."
Danyang shrank back as hard as she could. She thought Xue Wanche was trying to eat her. For the first time, she realized that Xue Wanche was so terrifying.
"Quack, quack, Marquis Yun started massacring the city after he captured the city in the battle of Anshi City. When he came down from the front to hand over the order to His Majesty, the old slave was in the main tent of the Chinese army. Marquis Yun was covered with mud and blood, and the smell of blood was so strong that it made people sick.
At that time, Marquis Yun was not the Marquis Yun who you saw smiling all day long. I have never seen how Marquis Xue fought. As for the battles in the merit book, that one was not a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Your Highness, Princess, Empress
Today I ordered the old slave to come and admonish me. The old slave knows nothing but execution, which means that the empress and your majesty are going to let the old slave take human life to admonish the princess."
It is very troublesome to execute a woman. After two sticks are used, feces and urine will flow out. After less than twenty sticks, there will be no sound at all. The servant smiled and said goodbye to the princess and Xue Wanche. Xue Wanche sent the servant out of the princess's house. The servant touched himself when leaving.
Heavy Sleeves was very satisfied. According to his experience, it would definitely not be less than fifty gold coins.
Xue Wanche returned to the yard and looked at the dead people all over the yard. He lifted up Danyang who was lying on the ground and took him into the inner room. Danyang quickly got into the tent and shivered while hugging the quilt.
After Li Yuan's death, Li Er became very indifferent to his brothers and sisters. Except for participating in Princess Changping's festival every year, Danyang and the others had not been received by the emperor for a long time. The main reason was that Li Er was domineering and arrogant towards them.
He was very dissatisfied, especially when he heard that his sister was actually introducing his niece, and he became even more angry. He had no murderous intention, and Li Er was already considered to be generous.
"Danyang, you have been growing up in a deep palace, being pampered and pampered. You don't know how difficult it is to make a living outside. You have money easily, and there will always be beautiful men around you. Do you know that those
A man who relies on soft food to survive is not even an ant in our eyes. You are a princess with a noble status. You should at least find a tiger. If there is no tiger, look for a wolf. I, Xue Wanche, am not so angry. You can find an ant.
What do you mean? Do you want the descendants of those ants to replace the honor I won through many battles? Are they worthy?
Do you know that you were able to be arrogant before because the Supreme Emperor was still here? You see, if you still look like this, His Majesty will definitely take action on you. How dare you introduce yourself to Gao Yang? Do you think everyone
Are all the princesses as shameless as you?
Who is Fang Xuanling? Huh? You didn't know that he was the prime minister of the dynasty? When he became so majestic, all the officials in the court fell into silence. How dare you humiliate him after being the prime minister for fifteen years? You are looking for your own death.
ah.
Our husband and wife are actually just a couple on the surface. Behind the scenes, you are just like a passerby in my heart. You are looking for death, why should I accompany you? Why?
To tell you the truth, it’s none of my business how many faces you have and how many children you have. I’m just the emperor’s personal consort. This is an official position, not your husband. I’m not acting out of hatred this time.
, but I don’t allow you to implicate me recklessly. I understand what I said, and we will live a good life from now on. You can continue to find friends and have children. You can make yourself notorious as you like.
But don't harm Gao Yang and the others. Once you do something to seek your own death, I will never be merciful next time. I don't need to see blood to kill people. If you are frightened, lie down for a while and I will give you orders.
Lao Wu and the others will make you a bowl of cold medicine to relieve your shock."
Xue Wanche smiled ferociously at Danyang, then went out of the room. He looked at the servants kneeling on the ground and told them to get lost. He went to the kitchen and fried a bowl of herbs and prepared to ask Danyang to take it. This is what a prince-in-law should do.
Xue Wanche has always been a conscientious and conscientious minister.
