Volume 7: Ma Mingfeng Xiao Xiao, the young man is raising his sword, Chapter 515: The Ambition of the Owl
"What? Lingchi! Xiao Jianshu, your joke is a bit too big!" Su Ling said in disbelief while bending down to pick up the tea.
Su Ling understood Lingchi's punishment very well. In that time and space, Su Ling majored in Chinese and took history as an elective.
He was fortunate enough to read a book called "A Brief History of Punishments in the Past Dynasties", in which the punishment of Lingchi was clearly written.
Thinking back on it now, Su Ling felt that it was unbearable and terrifying to look at. Su Ling also admitted in his heart that Jian Zhengnan's crime was indeed very serious.
However, it is still a bit unbelievable to inflict such an inhuman punishment. Xiao Yuanche did not express his position. Xiao Jianshu turned his head, glanced at Su Ling, and said word by word: "Su Ling? Do you think I am joking?
? Or do you want to protect this sinner who deserves to be killed and feel pity for the enemy in your heart?" His words were unkind and directly slapped a big hat on Su Ling.
How could Su Ling get into the trap? He picked up the broken tea bowl a few times, slapped it on the table, and said loudly: "I pity his grandma!" His sudden move made Xiao Jianshu stunned and embarrassed.
There, I don't know how to answer.
Su Ling glared at Xiao Jianshu as a warning. You better not mess with me, I want you to look good!
Regardless of whether your father is here, whether he will protect you or not is a matter of time! Xiao Jianshu sneered and said: "Su Ling, I just tried Zhengnan's crimes in detail, and analyzed them from the perspective of kindness and power, don't you think so?"
Do you think what I said is wrong? Or what did I say wrong about what Shen Zhengnan did?" Su Ling waved her hands and said: "That's not true...it's just one code and one code.
, Shen Zhengnan was Shen Jizhou’s minister before. I am not good for Bohai, and I am not good for Shen Jizhou. Let’s fight against Shen Jizhou. He does everything for his lord, for his Bohai. Even if it is a little extreme, everyone is his own master!
If he had kept his hand, wouldn't he have become a traitor? Xiao Jianshu, it would be too harsh for you to bring up the fact that everyone is their own master!" Xiao Yuanche remained calm and looked at it.
Looking at Xiao Jianshu and then at Su Ling, his face became more and more gloomy.
Xiao Jianshu sneered and said: "Everyone is his own master? Isn't it a heinous crime? What he, Zheng Zhengnan, can do, he should have thought of his current fate! He deserves the punishment of Ling Chi, and he only hates that there is nothing more unparalleled in this world.
Ling Chi’s punishment is more severe, but I thought Ling Chi’s punishment was light! “Nah!
If it weren't for the fact that Xiao Yuanche was still there, Su Ling would have greeted him directly. Killing prisoners was wrong from a certain perspective, and killing them cruelly was even more difficult for him to accept.
Su Ling held up his hand and said sternly to Xiao Yuanche: "Prime Minister! Shen Zhengnan no longer has the slightest resistance. Now he has become a piece of fish in the case for us, and he can no longer pose any threat to us. Anyway,
He is also an important minister of the Bohai Sea who was professed by the emperor of the Jin Dynasty. The crimes he committed are all his own. If he kills the ministers of the emperor without permission, the prime minister will inevitably be criticized by the Qingliu people in Longtai..." Su Lingdun
After a pause, he said: "Of course, the Prime Minister doesn't care what those people are saying... But, the Prime Minister is sending troops this time in the name of being ordered to fight against Shen..."
"Let's put aside these things, just behead him for Ju Zhengnan's crime, no matter what, he will die! The prime minister also said, don't abuse him... If you use the punishment of Lingchi, wouldn't you be abusing him? People of the world.
What will you say? The Prime Minister tortured and killed the Emperor and personally appointed Bohai's important ministers? Prime Minister, you can establish your power, but you can't establish it like this regardless of the cost!..." Su Ling said word by word.
Xiao Yuanche was noncommittal and said in a deep voice: "Who kind of person is he, Zheng Zhengnan, a personal minister of the emperor? Besides, I, Xiao Yuanche, still don't pay attention to those gossipy things!..." Su Ling shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "I know that the Prime Minister has never cared much about those clowns who are Qingliu and the emperor... But Prime Minister, please think about it, if you really execute Shen Zhengnan in Lingchi, what will happen to him What kind of situation..."
"Tell me about it..." Xiao Yuanche said somewhat disapprovingly.
"Everyone in the world knows Shen Zhengnan's loyalty to Bohai and his sincerity to Shen Jizhou. This time, he even sacrificed his life to save his lord. If the prime minister executes him too late, not only will he not be able to establish his prestige, but it will also be publicized. Get out... Xiao Yuanche is cruel and merciless... That Shen Zhengnan protects the Lord with his whole heart, is heroic and unyielding, and does not regret even after being bullied! He is truly a righteous man!" Su Ling thought. Without thinking, he told everything without any hesitation.
Xiao Yuanche's face became even more grim, and he snorted and said: "Su Ling... Am I really cruel and ungrateful?" Su Ling stuck out his tongue, knowing that he had made a mistake in a hurry, and hurriedly waved his hands and said: " Damn it, damn it... I made a blunder out of desperation... But please think carefully about what I said, Prime Minister! In this way, Wei will be unable to stand, between two words. But I know that those talented people in the world who are hesitant and hesitant about whether to submit to the Prime Minister may no longer have the slightest intention to submit to the Prime Minister after being frightened by this..." Xiao Yuanche has not yet spoken. Xiao Jianshu was the first to sneer.
"Su Ling, what use are you to a woman? If you don't punish her with severe punishment, how can you break the enemy's courage? If you are blindly merciful, your enemies will be quick! Lingchi's punishment is already a great mercy! It is also a punishment. Nan Zhiliu deserves it!" Xiao Jianshu said with a righteous look.
"Fuck you..." Su Ling was about to burst out, then thought about it and swallowed it, then paused and said: "Xiao Jianshu, you think Ling Chi is very light, right? Have you tried it? Otherwise You try it first!?"
"You!... Su Ling, how dare you say something rude!" Xiao Jianshu's face suddenly turned red with anger and he shouted angrily.
"I didn't... I just asked you to practice it yourself so that you don't have back pain when you stand and talk!" Su Ling said with a sigh.
"Pa—!" Xiao Yuanche suddenly slammed the table. Su Ling and Xiao Jianshu were both startled. They turned to look at Xiao Yuanche and saw the anger on his face.
Su Ling stuck out her tongue and lowered her head. Xiao Jianshu also hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look at his father again.
"You! And you!" Xiao Yuanche pointed at Su Ling and then at Xiao Jianshu, with an angry look on his face.
"One is my general, Shi, and the other is my second son. Fighting over a man who is about to be executed is red-faced. It is similar to a shrew swearing in the street. How unbecoming it is!" Xiao Yuanche said angrily.
Su Ling and Xiao Jianshu glared at each other, then lowered their heads.
"No need to say more! I have made up my mind. I have already shown my kindness and kindness to you, and those who understand will understand. I, Xiao Yuanche, do not care about those who do not understand! As for Shen Zhengnan , Tomorrow at noon, he will be executed late outside the camp gate, with his head lowered and hung on a large banner for all those stubborn Shen Jizhou’s subordinates to see! This is the end of stubborn resistance to the end!" Xiao Yuanche said with a gloomy expression full of murderous intent. Face said.
"This..." Su Ling looked helpless and hesitated to speak. Xiao Jianshu looked happy and hurriedly raised his hands and said: "My father is wise! I am willing to serve as a prisoner and behead an official!" Xiao Yuanche nodded and said.
: "That's right!" Su Ling really had no choice but to whisper: "Prime Minister, why don't you call the big brother in white and listen to him..."
"No! Guo Baiyi is not feeling well. There is no need to call him! I am the commander-in-chief of the armed forces and the prime minister of the Jin Dynasty. Can't I make a decision?" Xiao Yuanche didn't wait for Su Ling to finish speaking, and looked at Su Ling coldly and said every word.
You are awesome...You can kill Emperor Jin at will...What can't you decide? Su Ling shook his head vigorously, and then he cupped his hands and said: "Whatever you say...
..The boy was so exhausted from interrogating Shen Zhengnan that he was out of his body, so I will leave first..." After saying that, Su Ling turned around and left without looking back.
Xiao Jianshu looked angry, pointed in the direction where Su Ling disappeared and said: "Father, this Su Lingte must be rude!" Xiao Yuanche's face didn't look good, he waved his hand and said: "Okay...
...You should also step back, I'm tired!" Xiao Jianshu was startled, and could only say: "Father, go to bed early... I'll leave!" After Su Ling and Xiao Jianshu left, Xiao Yuan
Quietness finally returned to Che's room.
It was silent and there was no sound at all. Only the wax lamp on the table was peeling off. Xiao Yuanche picked up the wood chips and slowly stirred the wax core.
The candlelight flickered on and off, and Xiao Yuanche's whole person reflected in it also flickered on and off. It was unclear whether his expression was happy or angry.
After a while, Xiao Yuanche put down the piece of wood and seemed to be saying to himself: "Okay, I won't call you out, so you've been hiding. It's been all these hours, and you still don't come out!"
"Hahaha...I almost fell asleep...Brother, please forgive me..." Following a burst of laughter, a figure in white slowly walked out from behind.
It was Guo Baiyi. Xiao Yuanche glanced at him angrily and said, "Asleep? The noise in front is shaking the mountain, and you can still sleep..." Guo Baiyi said with a teasing look on his face.
: "Anyway, they are the pet peeves of the eldest brother, no matter what my business is.
....." Xiao Yuanche glared at him and said: "You have heard it too, what do you think?" Guo Baiyi said slightly thoughtfully: "Baiyi thought that the two young masters... Mr. Jianshu
What Su Ling said makes sense."
"Haha, when did you learn to make peace with mud?" Xiao Yuanche glanced at him sideways and said. Guo Baiyi waved his hand and said: "No, no, Baiyi is telling the truth. Mr. Jianshu's methods are thunderous, severe punishment and heavy pressure.
Only then can the enemy's last resort be destroyed
Only by crushing their last psychological defense can they give up their resistance... However, the method is a bit biased. On the one hand, it is indeed too cruel, and on the other hand, is it the mouth of the people in this world?
Can it be sealed by suppression?"
"Of course...brother has never been afraid of those so-called long words...so this point can be ignored..." Guo Baiyi seemed to say it casually, but he still looked at it intentionally.
A glance at Xiao Yuanche.
Xiao Yuanche raised his eyebrows and said: "Those troublemakers, when I decide the outcome with Shen Jizhou, then I will settle the accounts with them. Even one of them will not be able to escape!" Guo Baiyi said again: "As for Su Ling,
What he said makes sense. Beheading is also a deterrent. Death is always death anyway, so why use such cruel methods? Sometimes it is too cruel and it is just right.
On the contrary... I'm afraid that the gain will outweigh the loss... So it's up to the eldest brother to make the decision... Anyway, the eldest brother also said that you are the prime minister, so whatever you say is fine...
..Bai Yi is just a consultant..." His words seemed to have some meaning, deliberately teasing what Xiao Yuanche said to Su Ling just now.
Why couldn't Xiao Yuanche hear it? He pointed at Guo Baiyi and said: "Well, you Guo Baiyi, you actually provoked me..." He waved his hand and said: "Pull him down! Anyway, he has already done it.
I won't take it back after making a decision, it's just a trial of Zhengnan, it has no impact on the overall situation!" Guo Baiyi nodded in agreement.
Xiao Yuanche frowned again and said, "It's this Su Ling who is getting more and more unruly and unruly..." Guo Baiyi laughed and said, "Isn't that right?" Xiao Yuan
Che glanced sideways at Guo Baiyi and said, "What are you talking about?"
What do you mean? Is it right for him to be so presumptuous?" Guo Baiyi pointed at him, then pointed at the place where Su Ling originally sat and said: "Inheritance... Who can this elder brother blame...
"This sentence made Xiao Yuanche burst into laughter.
Guo Baiyi said again: "Don't talk about Su Ling, is that second young master a person who abides by the rules?"
"Jianshu?..."
"Eldest brother, I don't think that Mr. Jianshu seems to be quite improved this time when he comes from Bacheng. No matter his vision, conversation, behavior, or dialogue with the eldest brother, he seems to be a different person... He has something different.
The famous cold-faced young man, I talked to my eldest brother alone today, and he seemed to have said more and more detailed things than I have in the past many years combined..." Guo Baiyi said calmly.
"What does this have to do with following the rules or not? In the past few months, he has followed Wen Ruo and naturally learned a lot... If there is no improvement, then he is not really dead wood.
Is that so?" Xiao Yuanche said disapprovingly.
"Haha... Yes, Brother Wen Ruo teaches well. He teaches Master Jian Shu with all his heart, just like I, Guo Baiyi, teaches Cang Shu..." Guo Baiyi seemed to be pointing out something.
, but said calmly.
Why couldn't Xiao Yuanche hear that? He waved his hand and said: "You are allowed to be a disciple by Guo Baiyi, but Xu Wenruo is not allowed to be a disciple? Anyway, if my Xiao family doesn't suffer, they are all my Xiao Yuanche's sons..."
Guo Baiyi shook his head and laughed.
......... After a long time, Xiao Yuanche's room became quiet again.
Guo Baiyi had already resigned. The candlelight was suppressed by the servants. Xiao Yuanche was half-lying on the soft chair with his clothes on, and the darkness enveloped him.
Maybe he was asleep, maybe he was just half asleep. A black shadow slowly fell in front of him, making a very low sound.
It seemed that fear of disturbing Xiao Yuanche's sleep was disturbed. The black shadow stood there motionless for a long time. Finally Xiao Yuanche's voice came from the darkness: "Bo Ning, it's been a long time since you've been here..."
"That dark shadow is Boning.
"Fortunately... I'm afraid of disturbing the lord..." In the darkness, Boning slowly clasped his fists and said.
"How's the investigation going?" Xiao Yuanche seemed to be pointing out something, and his deep voice came from the deep darkness.
"Master Jianshu or Su Ling...?"
"Say one by one..."
"Here! After Master Jianshu collected grain from Longtai, he handed the grain and grass to the deputy general for escort, and then came with his subordinates to help Jiuzhang... According to what I know, it seems that Master Jianshu was receiving the
I decided to come after receiving a letter from you..." Boning said in a low voice.
"Oh? What was written in the letter? Do you know?"
"This..." Boning was startled, lowered his head and said: "My subordinates are incompetent... I have never found out... But when Jiu Zhang's survival was in danger, Master Jianshu gathered elite troops.
Come... I don't know if he is here to help, or..." Xiao Yuanche in the darkness seemed to wave his hand and said: "Bo Ning, you are too worried, Jian Shu
No matter what, I’m not necessarily reassured yet…”
"Dan Wenruo, I believe him!" Xiao Yuanche's voice was resolute and unquestionable.
"Xiao Jianshu, you don't need to check..."
"Here!" Bonin said respectfully, cupping his fists.
"Where's Su Ling?"
"Su Ling was indeed ambushed on the road when he was returning from Tianqi Mountain for help..." Boning replied in a low voice.
"Oh? We actually met... But why didn't Su Ling report back... And since we encountered an ambush, we didn't regret that the Tianwei was reduced in number. He even appeared at the foot of the old Zhang city in time.
...That's weird..." Xiao Yuanche seemed to be talking to himself.
For a long time, there was silence in the darkness, and Xiao Yuanche's voice was no longer heard. For a long time.
"Let's check and see what happened to Su Ling and what happened in Tianqi Mountain!" Xiao Yuanche's voice came out again.
The voice was low, and there was no hint of emotion or anger. Boning trembled, saluted and said, "Here!"
