Wang Tu was shouting injustice in the cell. He really didn't know that the beautiful woman had anything to do with Liu Xin. Otherwise, even if he had the courage to do so, he wouldn't dare to attack that woman. Even if she was
people
He would never dare to take the initiative to seduce him. It's not that he has a lustful heart or a lack of courage, but this is Xiangyang, on someone else's territory, and he doesn't dare to be overly presumptuous. If he were in Puyang, he would naturally be unscrupulous.
Those jailers were all smart people. They knew that the person Wang Tu had offended was Liu Xin, so how could they give him a good look? When they heard him yelling fiercely, they became a little impatient. The leading jailer picked up a water and fire stick and
According to Wang's plan, he slapped his face and gave him a good beating. He also cursed: "Why are you shouting? There is no one who comes here who doesn't say that he is wronged. Just stay here, otherwise..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard someone behind him say: "Okay, step aside!"
The jailer looked back, hurriedly threw away the stick in his hand, stood aside with his hands down, and said anxiously: "Sir, I..."
The visitors were none other than Liu Xin and Jushu. Liu Xin waved her hand to signal him not to say anything, and then turned to Wang Tu and said, "Wang Tu, do you know your guilt?"
When Wang Tu saw it, he saw that it was Liu Xin who had left and returned, and said hurriedly: "Master Liu, I have found out my crime. Please spare me this time. I really don't know what it is..."
Liu Xin snorted coldly: "It's not difficult for me to spare your life, but you have to leave something behind."
When Wang Tu heard that he could live, he didn't think too much about it, and kept saying: "All the small luggage is in the post house. As long as the adults like it, you can take it as long as you like."
Liu Xin laughed loudly: "It's so troublesome to go to the post house, so I'll take two things from you."
Wang Tu heard the bad intentions in Liu Xin's words and was shocked and said: "Master Liu, I am a member of Prime Minister Cao, you can't do this to me."
Jushou said in a deep voice: "What about Cao Cao's people? Even if Cao Cao himself breaks the law, my lord will not let him off lightly!"
Liu Xin didn't want to talk nonsense with Wang Tu here, so she turned around and asked Jushu: "Gongyu, what is the name of the punishment you just said you want to impose on him?"
Jushou cupped his hands and said: "Back to my lord, here are the three executions: Kuai, Kun, and Tuo. The executioners will be here soon."
When Wang Tu heard that such a punishment was going to be imposed on him, he couldn't help but lose his mind and said loudly: "Master Liu, you can't do this. It was your daughter who took the initiative to seduce me."
Of course, Liu Xin didn't need to explain her relationship with Yan Rui to him, and said coldly: "You said she seduced you, is there anyone who can testify?"
Wang Tu shook his head. At that time, he and Yan Rui were the only two people in the alley. Later, two personal guards suddenly appeared and arrested him. He was unable to tell the truth.
Liu Xin sneered again: "Is there any physical evidence?"
Wang Tu shook his head again. Of course there was physical evidence. When he was pushed to the ground by his guards, he watched the woman tear a hole in her long skirt on her chest. But this physical evidence would only make more sense to him.
unfavorable.
Liu Xin shrugged and said, "There is no human or material evidence, so why are you calling for injustice?"
Wang Tu said with a wry smile, "But it was really her who seduced me."
At this time, there was a rush of footsteps outside the cell door, and a man dressed as a government servant came over, raised his hands and said, "I have seen you all, my lords. Young Zhu San was ordered to come here. Who are you going to punish?"
Jushu pointed at Wang Tu and said, "That's him."
Zhu San glanced at Wang Tu's handsome and fair face, with a wicked smile on his lips, and leaned forward and said: "So it's this young gentleman. I'm just reporting back to you two adults. The younger one hasn't been punished for many years, so let's start."
It’s inevitable that it’s a little rusty, and I’m just afraid of accidentally scratching other places.”
Liu Xin said impatiently: "You can just do it, as long as it doesn't hurt his life, everything else is fine. I'll go back first, I'll leave this place to you."
Although he had been involved in bloody battlefields, looking at Wang Tu's nose and ears being cut off in front of him still felt too cruel and uncomfortable, so he found an excuse and left first. But Jushou didn't feel comfortable with this situation.
Feeling strange, he very calmly pulled up a chair and sat down opposite Wang Tu.
Zhu San said that he had not used this kind of punishment for many years, which is indeed true. Not to mention that after Liu Xin took charge of Jingzhou, even before Liu Xin, this kind of punishment was rarely used. For the most heinous crimes, people can be punished with car splitting, Ling Chi
, and those who commit relatively minor crimes will mostly be punished with rods and imprisonment. Of course, in Xiangyang City now, most of those who have committed minor crimes will be punished with "farming".
But it is true that Zhu San has not executed anyone for many years, but it does not mean that his hand is raw. The reason why he made it clear to Liu Xin first is just because Wang Tu is too handsome, and Zhu San has a hatred for pretty boys.
.Without him, it’s just that he is too ugly and has not been able to find a wife for many years.
Wang Tu was soon tied to a thick and short wooden stake. The reason why he chose the short stake was to make it easier to shave his head. Although Jushou didn't mind watching the execution scene, he didn't like to hear the prisoner's painful screams, so
He also ordered people to block Wang Tu's mouth.
Zhu San took out a sharp knife from behind with a smile, rubbed it back and forth on Wang Tu's head a few times, and pulled out the hairpin from Wang Tu's bun. Wang Tu's hair immediately fell down. Zhu San gently flicked his wrist.
Shake and a strand of hair falls down.
When Wang Tu saw this scene, he felt relieved, because he had just heard from Jushu that he would be punished with three punishments: Kuan, Kun, and Gao. At that time, Wang Tu was so frightened that he didn't dare to ask more questions, but he must not have the three punishments.
In the same way as Shi, if your hair is shaved now, it should be a punishment. Although the shaved hair is ugly, it will grow back one day. Wang Tu is not a person who pays much attention to etiquette, justice and shame, and the punishment is not good for him.
To be honest, it doesn't matter.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he thought of this, he felt a numbness in his lower abdomen. He couldn't help shaking his body, and a sharp pain came from his forehead. He only heard Zhu San say repeatedly: "Oh, okay, why are you moving? Look.
, my forehead was even scratched, and when word spread, they said that I, Zhu San, was not good at my craftsmanship."
In fact, Wang Tu was so good, how could he feel numbness in his lower abdomen? It was obviously Zhu San who took advantage of him and nudged him gently with his knee.
It took more than half an hour to shave this head. By the time Wang Tu became bald, he also had seven or eight "scratches" on his face. It's not appropriate to call them "scratches" because some of them were "scratches".
The mark is more than half an inch deep, so it cannot be explained by scratching.
At this time, Wang Tu's face was covered with blood, and he looked particularly ferocious and terrifying. He twisted his body desperately and wanted to speak, but with a rag stuffed in his mouth, he could only make a "hum" sound. If it were normal, this Zhu San would still want to
He then mocked Wang Tu a few words, but with Ju Shou here today, he didn't dare to make too much of a mistake.
Jushou still had many things to do, but the torture of Wang Tu was not carried out publicly, so he needed to be here to monitor him. Seeing that Zhu San took more than half an hour just to shave Wang Tu's head, Jushou couldn't sit still.
He stopped and shouted in a deep voice: "Zhu San, move faster!"
Wang Tu originally thought that Zhu San's punishment was over, but he felt the burning pain on his face. Suddenly, when he heard Ju Suo urging him, he knew that the matter was far from over. He was horrified and struggled hard.
Zhu San received Jushu's orders and did not dare to neglect him. When he saw Wang Tu twisting and turning, he was afraid that the swords were wrong and ruined his reputation. He couldn't help but get angry and stabbed Wang Tu's stomach fiercely.
Just a punch and shouted: "Be honest!"
This punch was so heavy that it caused Wang Tu's stomach to convulse, and he shrank into a big shrimp. He wanted to vomit, but there was something in his mouth, but he couldn't vomit it out. Zhu San took this opportunity and threw it in his hand.
The sharp knife was swung in succession, and blood burst out. Wang Tu's body trembled violently, and he kept saying "Uh-huh" in his throat. His eyes widened, staring closely at the three pieces of blood that fell in front of him.
A blurry object, with eyes that couldn't tell whether it was fear or anger.
Zhu San put away the sharp knife, and a helper had already brought a copper basin over to help Wang Tu apply medicine to stop the bleeding and bandage the wound. Although it was only a small wound, excessive bleeding or infection would be fatal. As for the executioner,
He said that if something like this happened, it would be like destroying his job, and he would have no shame in doing this business again.
Seeing that the execution was over, Jushu stood up and said: "Send him back to the post house, and drive him out of Xiangyang together with the soldiers he brought. In addition, let him bring this letter to Cao Cao."
After saying this, Jushu threw a letter to the jailer beside him and walked away. He was eager to see Liu Xin to discuss the implementation of the salt and iron monopoly.
Liu Xin had already told Ma Yun how to deal with Wang Tu. Ma Yun frowned, always feeling that it was a bit cruel to do so. Her original intention was just to teach him a lesson, slap him a few times, and vent her anger for Diao Chan.
That's it, but he didn't expect that Liu Xin actually cut off his nose and ears. However, Ma Yun didn't say anything. After all, it had already happened, and it was useless to say anything. Besides, in this era, people with great power really
One word can lead to life, one word can lead to death, what does it mean to cut off a nose or an ear?
However, Liu Xin's handling of this matter could be regarded as fulfilling the original agreement, and going one step further, she did not embarrass Wang Yun, but also spoke out for him. Therefore, Ma Yun readily took out the loan, and she
But who knew that Liu Xin's punishment of Wang Tu was clearly "public revenge for private revenge"!
When Jushou rushed to the Prefecture Mufu, Liu Xin had already placed a thick stack of banknotes in front of him, and all of them were of the face value of 10,000 taels, a total of 260.
After listening to Jushou's report on the execution and his idea of a salt and iron monopoly, Liu Xin pointed to the banknotes in front of him and said with a smile: "Let's put aside the salt and iron monopoly for now. With this money
, it should be no problem to support the harvest until next summer?”
"As long as there is no war, it will definitely be enough." Jushou's eyes lit up when he saw the pile of banknotes, but he was still a little puzzled and asked, "But my lord has mentioned a lot about the salt and iron monopoly.
Now is the time to spend money, why not take advantage of the situation and launch it?"
