Xi Yu looked at Hu Qiqing with cold eyes, and then slowly said, "You come out."
Hu Qiqing felt even more panicked, and he felt a huge pressure.
It's over. Doesn't Xi Yu already know that it was done by himself?
He will come out immediately.
Xi Yu asked him what his name was, and Hu Qiqing also answered his name.
Xi Yu looked at Hu Qiqing, and a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes: "Do you know why I asked you to come out?"
Hu Qiqing's body trembled, he lowered his head, his voice trembling: "I...I don't know."
Xi Yu sneered: "You don't know? Do you think I don't know what you did?"
Hu Qiqing's face became paler, and he didn't dare to look up at Xi Yu: "I...I didn't do anything..."
Everyone was surprised at this time. Could it be that Hu Qiqing had violated the old man's daughter?
But many people don’t believe in this matter at all, especially those who are particularly familiar with Hu Qiqing. Knowing that he has always been a very honest person, how could he do such a thing?
Did Xi Yu randomly decide the case, or would he just find a scapegoat to explain to the old man?
Xi Yu interrupted Hu Qiqing: "What did you not do? Do you think I am a fool? I know all the things you did!"
Hu Qiqing's body began to tremble, and he felt that his psychological defense was about to collapse.
Zhao Yun said: "What did you do? It's better to say it out loud."
Hu Qiqing quickly knelt down at this time, and he said that he had done nothing and really didn't know why Xi Yu treated him like this.
"If the big king really doesn't know, then I've done something wrong. Please point it out directly."
So Xi Yu asked, "Did you violate the old man's daughter last night?"
Hu Qiqing naturally denied it, and there was absolutely nothing.
"Big King, I really don't know why you have to arrange the small ones so much. The small one swears to the sky that they have never done such a thing."
And then, he really made a vow, and those vows were really touching.
But Xi Yu certainly knew that such people did not take the oath seriously, and would not have any awe of ghosts and gods. All he had to do was to get away with it.
"You'd better admit it quickly, I've given you countless opportunities."
Xi Yu is now trying to break the other party’s psychological defense.
Xi Yu looked at Hu Qiqing coldly and said softly: "Someone has told me that you went out last night. Now, I need you to explain it to me."
Hu Qiqing's face turned pale in an instant, but he still denied it stubbornly.
"I haven't gone out. Master, what evidence do you have to prove that I'm going out?"
Xi Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a dangerous light: "You still want to argue? It seems that if you don't give you some color, you won't be honest about it."
As he said that, Xi Yu waved his hand, and several soldiers immediately walked up and pressed Hu Qiqing to the ground.
"What do you want to do? I did nothing wrong, you can't be beaten up!" Hu Qiqing struggled hard, but his strength was far less than those few people.
Xi Yu walked up to Hu Qiqing, squatted down, stared at his eyes and said, "I will give you another last chance. Will you tell the truth?"
Hu Qiqing gasped, but still refused to admit it: "Master, the little one is really not going out. What did you ask me to tell the truth?"
Xi Yu stood up and said coldly: "Okay, since you refuse to admit it, don't blame me for being rude."
He turned to the soldiers and said, "Test me, until he admits it."
The soldiers immediately took action and punched Hu Qiqing. Hu Qiqing moaned in pain, but he still gritted his teeth and refused to admit it.
Xi Yu looked at Hu Qiqing and sighed in his heart: This person is really stubborn, but it doesn't matter, I have a way to make him admit it.
"King, maybe he was wronged." At this time, a soldier began to plead for mercy.
Immediately afterwards, more and more soldiers began to plead, but Xi Yu ignored it at all.
"If anyone pleads again, fight together."
So, the soldiers' fists fell on Hu Qiqing like raindrops, and bruises and scars were everywhere on his face.
However, he still refused to admit that he had gone out.
Xi Yu looked at Hu Qiqing and his anger became more and more intense.
Xi Yu picked up a whip and said coldly: "Do you still refuse to admit it? Then try the taste of this whip."
As he said that, Xi Yu waved his whip and whipped Hu Qiqing hard. Hu Qiqing screamed in pain, but he still refused to admit it.
Seeing this, Xi Yu started whipping harder. The whip whipped Hu Qiqing's body, leaving deep blood marks.
Hu Qiqing's screams were chilling.
However, Hu Qiqing still refused to admit that he had gone out. At this moment, Old Man Tang spoke, his voice cold and firm.
"I have evidence." Old Man Tang said.
He slowly took out a button from his cuff and handed it to Xi Yu.
"I got this button from my daughter. She had an argument with this man, and this button was pulled off from his clothes."
Xi Yu took the button and looked at it carefully. Everyone also surrounded him and checked the button. Their eyes finally fell on Hu Qiqing's clothes, and indeed found that there was a button missing on his clothes.
In the face of evidence, Hu Qiqing's face became very ugly. He lowered his head and finally admitted that he had gone out.
Old Man Tang looked at Hu Qiqing, his lips raised slightly, and a sarcastic smile appeared.
"I could have taken out the buttons, but I have to wait until you get beaten before doing this. I just want you to suffer and give you a taste of being beaten by a whip."
Xi Yu looked at Hu Qiqing coldly, and a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes.
"You thought you could deceive us, but you were wrong. The truth will eventually come to light and your lies will be exposed."
Under such circumstances, Hu Qiqing had no choice but to admit it.
Hu Qiqing kept kowtowing, his voice begging for mercy trembled and frightened: "Sir Xi Yu, Old Man Tang, please forgive me, I was confused for a moment!"
Old Man Tang's eyes were like crazy beasts. He rushed up and punched and kicked Hu Qiqing. Angry roar echoed in the torture room: "You beast! My daughter was ruined by you and killed by you. Do you still have the face to beg for mercy?"
Xi Yu looked at all this coldly, his voice was cold and determined: "Punishment will definitely not be missing, Hu Qiqing must pay the price for his crime."
Then, Xi Yu waved his hand, and several soldiers came forward and dragged Hu Qiqing away.
Xi Yu asked them to take him aside and kill him directly.
Hu Qiqing's screams and begging for mercy gradually disappeared, leaving only silence.
Xi Yu looked at Hu Qiqing's body, and the hatred in his heart did not ease.
Xi Yu sat quietly opposite Old Man Tang, his eyes full of guilt and self-blame.
He sighed softly, then took out a lot of money and currency from his accompanying luggage, then put it in a small box and handed it to Old Man Tang.
"Old man, this is my compensation for you, please accept it." Xi Yu said softly, with a hint of earnestness in his voice.
Old Man Tang raised his head and looked at Xi Yu. His lips moved, but no sound was made.
When Xi Yu saw Old Man Tang's reaction, he felt sad. He knew that the money could not make up for the harm he caused to Old Man Tang, but he still hoped to alleviate some Old Man Tang's pain.
"Although this money is not much, I hope it can help you. You can use it to improve your life or do what you want to do. People cannot be resurrected. I hope you will be mournful and follow the changes." Xi Yu continued, trying to make Old Man Tang accept the money.
A hint of hesitation flashed in Old Man Tang's eyes, and he slowly stretched out his hand and took it.
"Thank you." Old Man Tang finally spoke, his voice low and hoarse.
Xi Yu nodded slightly. He could feel the pain and helplessness in Old Man Tang's heart, but he didn't know how to comfort him.
Finally, Old Man Tang slowly left, and his back gradually disappeared.
Xi Yu looked at the direction of his departure, and a complex feeling surged in his heart.
"Dear brothers," Xi Yu's voice was low and firm, "I call everyone today, we must firmly prevent such a thing from happening again!" His eyes scandalized everyone with an unquestionable majesty.
"If anyone commits crimes again in the future, he must be sentenced to death!" Xi Yu's tone was stern and decisive, "We are a disciplined team, and discipline is our life!"
At this time, a soldier's voice was firm and powerful.
"King, we all understand the importance of discipline, and we will obey your orders!"
So many soldiers began to express their opinions.
Xi Yu nodded, with a hint of relief on his face.
"Very good, I believe you are all excellent soldiers. However, I also hope you understand that I can be brothers and sisters to everyone, but this does not mean that we can ignore the principles. Once someone violates discipline, don't blame me for turning against me!"
The soldiers said they would obey Xi Yu's words and would never violate the principles.
Xi Yu looked at the loyal soldiers in front of him and felt a sense of emotion. He knew that only through strict discipline and firm principles could they become an invincible force.
He hopes that there will be no war in the future, but it does not mean that these soldiers can relax and do whatever they want.
Today's affairs seem to be a trivial matter for the entire army, but for Old Man Tang, it is a major event that the sky falls.
The next day, a sunny day.
Liu Xie planned to go to Youzhou College to see it. He had heard of this college before, but he had not yet experienced it in the scene.
With curiosity and expectation for Youzhou College, Liu Xie embarked on this land full of academic atmosphere accompanied by several loyal soldiers from the Xifu Mansion.
On the campus of the college, the trees are covered with flowers and full of vitality.
Liu Xie strolled on the quiet path, feeling the refreshing breeze blowing on his face, and felt particularly comfortable.
When they arrived at the office, Lu Su was already welcoming him at the door.
He smiled and knelt down at Liu Xie, and then warmly welcomed them into the office.
"Lu Su meets His Majesty."
"No need to be polite, get up quickly."
When he entered the office, Liu Xie was immediately attracted by the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall.
Seeing this, Lu Su took the initiative to come forward and introduce: "Your Majesty, these are the works of teachers and students of the college."
Liu Xie admired these works with great interest and nodded from time to time to praise.
Then, Lu Su introduced the college's learning situation to Liu Xie in detail.
Liu Xie listened with relish and asked some questions from time to time, and Lu Su answered them one by one.
Just as they were having a good conversation, a young child walked in.
I was originally looking for Lu Su, but when I accidentally eavesdropped on some things at the door, I found out His Majesty’s true identity.
He saluted Liu Xie with a little nervousness, and said in a trembling voice: "Please beg me... Your Majesty."
Because what he said was a bit inappropriate, Lu Su couldn't help laughing.
Liu Xie smiled and encouraged, "Don't be nervous, kid. I came here just to learn about your study and life. How do you feel in the college? Are there any interesting things to share with me?"
The student's nervousness gradually eased, and he excitedly talked about his experience in the college: "Your Majesty, the teachers in the college are very kind. They not only teach us knowledge, but also teach us many principles of being a human being."
Liu Xie was fascinated by the sound of his ears and couldn't help but sigh: "It sounds really good! Such a learning environment will definitely cultivate many outstanding talents."
After leaving Youzhou College, Liu Xie returned to the Xi Mansion not long after.
This time he went to Youzhou College, he felt very satisfied.
In the yard, Ouyang Linlin, Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, Jia Xu and others sat around a table, playing cards happily.
These days, Xi Zhicai has been bothering playing cards and finally learned it.
"Oh, what are you playing? You're so happy." Liu Xie walked over with a smile.
A few people quickly saluted Liu Xie.
"You don't have to be restrained, get up quickly."
"Your Majesty, we are playing Landlords. Do you want to play two games together?" Ouyang Linlin invited enthusiastically.
Liu Xie hesitated for a moment. He looked at the others and found that they were all smiling at him, as if waiting for his decision.
Finally, he nodded and sat opposite Ouyang Linlin.
And Xi Zhicai got up and asked Liu Xie to play on his behalf
"Okay, let's start." Ouyang Linlin shuffled the cards, dealt the cards, and then announced the start of the game.
The game was going very fiercely, and everyone was staring at their cards with all their attention, thinking about the next strategy to play.
Although Liu Xie was playing Landlord for the first time, he quickly mastered the rules and had a lot of fun with others.
Time flies very quickly, and several hours pass in a blink of an eye.
It was soon time for dinner.
"Okay, let's just have a lot of fun today." Liu Xie said.
The others packed up their cards and prepared to leave.
"Your Majesty, are you still used to it here?" Xi Zhicai asked.
"Well, it's not bad." Liu Xie said, "Life here is very easy."
"That's good." Xi Zhicai said, "If you have anything to do, just tell us."
Liu Xie looked at him gratefully and said, "I can do it."
What Liu Xie said is not false at all, he is really happy here.
Although Liu Xie only stayed here for a few days, he felt that he had gained a lot of weight. The reason was that he didn't have to worry about national affairs here and felt much more relaxed.
Soon, another night came, and Xi Yu's army had not yet entered Youzhou, so it had to set up camps at night.
Xi Yu still lives in the inn.
During dinner, he suddenly saw Wan'er feeling a little unhappy.
He asked quickly, "Wan'er, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling a little uncomfortable? Or are you a little unacceptable after leaving home?"
Wan'er was very happy to receive Xi Yu's care.
"Would we find a doctor to take a look?"
Wan'er's face was a little pale. She shook her head gently and said, "My Lord, I'm not feeling uncomfortable. I just saw the scene of Hu Qiqing being executed today, and I felt a little uncomfortable."
Xi Yu browed and felt guilty.
He stood up and gently held her hand, saying, "Wan'er, I'm sorry, I was not thinking carefully. I just wanted to execute Hu Qiqing at that time, but I didn't consider your feelings. I should have taken people to a secret place to execute, and I shouldn't let you see such a scene."
Wan'er smiled slightly and said, "Master, this is not your fault. Hu Qiqing has done many evil things, and his death is worthy of sin. But I have been timid since I was a child, and I feel a little uncomfortable when I see such a scene. I will just have a rest and don't have to find a doctor."
Xi Yu was still a little worried and said, "Wan'er, don't force yourself. If you feel uncomfortable, be sure to tell me. I will find the best doctor to see you."
Wan'er glanced at him gratefully and said, "King, thank you for your concern. I will take good care of myself."
Next, the two began to eat.
Xi Yu gracefully picked up the chopsticks. Just as he was about to pick up the food, he suddenly put down the chopsticks and turned his head to stare at Wan'er, revealing a hint of imperceptible tenderness in his eyes.
Wan'er was inexplicably confused by Xi Yu's sudden behavior, but she tried to remain calm and said with a smile: "Master, what's wrong? Is the dish not suitable for the taste?"
Xi Yu smiled and said, "Wan'er, and you are so beautiful and charming that I can't help but want to take a few more glances."
When Wan'er heard Xi Yu's praise, she blushed. She lowered her head and whispered: "Master, stop talking. Wan'er will be embarrassed."
When Xi Yu saw Wan'er's shy look, a feeling of pity surged in her heart.
Xi Yu nodded with a smile and then continued to enjoy the food.
Wan'er also began to taste the delicacies on the table. The two of them had a meal and chatted. The atmosphere was warm and harmonious.
Wan'er became radiant at this moment, and Xi Yu was even more sure that she was not feeling uncomfortable, but was really frightened, just try hard to enlighten her.
But Wan'er still had a concern in her heart, because she was about to arrive in Youzhou and she was going to meet with several wives.
