Seeing that the two of them were so hopeless, Chu Shun snorted coldly and said displeasedly: "If you don't ask them, can you have some backbone?!"
After hearing his words, the two people gradually calmed down, but they were still trembling with fear.
Seeing this situation, Chu Gui couldn't help but stepped forward and said: "Brother, collaborating with the enemy and treason is not a small crime. It may lead to the death of the Nine Clan. The second sister-in-law and the others are right. It is better for us to handle this matter privately so as not to affect the Chu family."
reputation."
Chu Yan originally thought that he stood up to intercede for his second wife, but he didn't expect that after talking for a long time, he was just afraid of hurting himself. His eyes darkened and he said displeased: "How to deal with it privately? The issue of forging weapons caused a storm in the city, and those rebels still
We are recruiting iron everywhere, and no one in Liuzhou City knows about it. If we can cover the mouths of the government, how can we cover the mouths of the entire Liuzhou City?!"
After he said this, everyone realized the seriousness of the matter.
If this matter had to go through the hands of the government, it would not be hidden from the court, and whether to kill or let go would all depend on the emperor's whim.
"What should we do?" Cao Yingchun became worried, "Brother, with the support of Huating County Master, we should be fine, right?"
When he mentioned the "Lord of Huating County", Chu Yan's eyes darkened obviously. At first, he had the courage to say goodbye to him, but now he wants to slap himself in the face. The second room has caused such a big thing, and the Chu family must rely on it.
Only the head of Huating County can settle the matter, and why should the head of Huating County help the Chu family? They can only rely on him and his two sons.
It is only natural for a son to ask for his mother, but for a husband to ask for his wife, he loses all face.
Chu Yan felt a headache just thinking about it.
"Now you know you are afraid?" He said coldly: "Not to mention that Qingqing may not be able to wade into this muddy water. Even if she is willing to help, who can guess what the emperor is thinking today? Our Chu family is the richest man in Liuzhou.
If you are already a big tree and attract trouble, you still want to do something like this, you simply think you are not dying fast enough!"
Hearing his scolding, everyone lowered their heads, except Chu Shun who knelt on the spot and scratched his neck, acting like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water.
Chu Yan's eyes fell on him again, and he said coldly: "How about it, do you have any objections to this treatment?"
Seeing that he was still pretending to ask for his opinion, Chu Shun snorted coldly and said displeasedly: "A cat cries when a mouse shows mercy!"
Chu Yan's eyes darkened, and he stood up suddenly, "Bring me a stick!"
Everyone watched with some surprise as he took the stick from the servant and walked towards Chu Shun step by step. Chu Xiu couldn't help but said, "Father, should I do it?"
Chu Yan ignored him, swung his stick in front of everyone, and hit Chu Shun hard on the back. Even though Chu Shun was mentally prepared, he was still hit forward and fell to the ground.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chu Yan did not hesitate and hit Chu Shun with one stick after another, "I have let you go since you were a child. You are in Chu's house with a high bed, a warm pillow, and no worries about food and clothing. Why do you have to listen to me?"
The instigation of my wife and children, you don’t even recognize me as your eldest brother?! It’s okay if you don’t recognize me, you are still deviant, even your mother is not looked down upon, and now you are collaborating with the enemy and treason, bringing the entire Chu family into injustice! Like you
How can such a son deserve to be a descendant of the Chu family? I will beat you to death, beat you to death!"
While he was scolding, he hit Chu Shun with all his strength. Everyone present did not even dare to express their anger, and they all covered their mouths and watched the scene in front of them.
The thirty sticks were beaten quickly, and Chu Yan used all his strength in the last blow to break all the sticks.
Chu Shun was beaten to the ground, vomiting blood, and almost fainted.
The cruelty of these thirty sticks seemed to be enough to kill Chu Shun without having to hand him over to the government.
Chu Shun lay on the ground, suddenly chuckled, and said with the remaining strength: "One step is wrong, every step is wrong, everything has been wrong since the first time I decided to defend this unfilial son..."
After saying that, he rolled his eyes and fainted.
Seeing this situation, Chu Yan threw away the broken stick in his hand and gasped for air.
Unlike the old lady, he and Chu Shun were still blood brothers. Although they had many conflicts of interest since childhood, none of them expected to reach this point. How painful was Chu Shun's beating?
He felt so sad in his heart, and how much he longed to save his younger brother, but his repeated indulgences did not bring him back, but instead made him sink deeper and deeper.
Now the trouble he has caused is collaborating with the enemy and treason. Even if Chu Yan has the heart and courage, he will not dare to protect him anymore.
He could only watch helplessly as his younger brother headed toward a dead end step by step, and there was nothing he could do.
"Pull it down." Chu Yan said coldly after taking a breath.
The servant next to him immediately stepped forward and lifted Chu Shun down.
The old lady turned her head and winked at Grandma Qing, who understood and hurriedly went to ask for a doctor.
After Chu Shun was beaten with thirty sticks, it was naturally Xue Jinxiu and Chu Quan's turn. When they saw Chu Shun's miserable state, they were frightened to death. However, Chu Yan was not polite to them and ordered Chu Xiu to do it himself in the ancestral hall.
I have finished executing these sixty sticks.
Chu Xiu was young, strong and had martial arts skills, and his attacks were several times more brutal than Chu Yan's. Xue Jinxiu fainted before he could finish thirty blows with him, while Chu Quan was beaten to pieces and his blood was stained red.
A large area of floor tiles.
After dragging all three of them down, Chu Yan's strength was almost restored. He looked around at everyone and said sternly: "You have seen the fate of the second room. If anyone dares to follow their old path again in the future,
The end will be ten times or a hundred times worse than theirs. The Chu family can support idle people, but they will never tolerate adultery again!"
After hearing his warning, many people couldn't help but shudder, and even Sanfang, who always liked to talk a lot, became quiet, obviously frightened by his fierce appearance just now.
After warning everyone, the old lady gave some instructions, and everyone dispersed.
After they all left, Chu Yan looked at the old lady and asked, "Mother, are you satisfied with what the child did just now?"
The old lady smiled and said calmly: "It's not that I'm not satisfied, but you should ask yourself whether you are satisfied or not."
Compared with physical wounds, mental wounds are the most difficult to heal. The betrayal of the second wife is undoubtedly the shadow in the hearts of everyone in the house. After these thirty sticks, none of them know whether the shadow has been taken away.
Can not guarantee.
"Second brother's side..." Chu Yan wanted to ask again, but the old lady quickly raised her hand to interrupt, "Don't worry, I have asked Grandma Qing to call the doctor."
Regardless of whether they would survive after being handed over to the government, at least they would definitely not die in the Chu family, and the old lady knew this.
