Leng Xiao's work efficiency is very fast.
In the morning of the next day, a notice stating the crimes committed by the great elder was posted on the bulletin board in the city, and a special person was there to read and explain it.
In just one day, the news about the Great Elder's murder of the new Prophet and his intention to usurp the throne spread throughout the entire City of Beasts as if he had grown wings.
No one expected that the respected Great Elder would hide such a wolfish ambition.
If the Prophet hadn't been aware of the details and made preparations in advance, I'm afraid he would have been decapitated by now, allowing the Great Elder to succeed.
According to the crimes he committed, he should be sentenced to death according to the law.
The so-called capital punishment is to brand the prisoner's body with fire marks representing the crime, and then tie the person to a stone pillar and expose him to the sun until the prisoner is dried alive to a mummified corpse.
That's not all.
The mummy will be sent to the forbidden area in the mountain and become the sin slaves guarding the forbidden area. Their souls will never be reborn forever.
It is said that this punishment is specially used to deal with those serious criminals.
Slowly felt that the process of drying people into mummies was really too long, even if it was torturing people, it was a waste of time.
Wouldn't it be much easier to just cut it with a knife
Jian Yi said respectfully: "It's too cheap to cut him off with one knife, and it can't play the role of deterring other people. You have just succeeded to the throne, so you must be ruthless and decisive in doing things, so that everyone will fear you from the bottom of their hearts."
Slowly muttering in a low voice: "Isn't that going to become a tyrant..."
"what did you say?"
"It's nothing," slowly coughed softly, "then do as you said."
"yes."
Jianyi bowed her head and exited the room, the door was closed, and there was only one person left in the room.
She rested her chin on one hand and began to think about what gift to give to the four guys at home.
One gift per person must be made by hand, and it can't be the same, the time is only ten days...
"Just make a piece of clothing for each of them. The color of each piece of clothing is different. If you change the style a little, it will be ok."
Xiao Ba slowly reminded her: "With your craftsmanship, you can make four completely different sets of clothes within ten days. Are you sure you can do it?"
"... It should, it should be impossible."
It usually takes at least one day for her to make a small skirt for herself. If Baidi and the others make clothes, it will take at least three or four days for each set of clothes.
Xiao Ba continued to make up the knife: "Take a step back, even if you rush to work day and night and barely finish it, but with your craftsmanship, do you think the clothes you make can really be delivered?"
Baidi and Sang Ye are the best clothes makers in the family. They usually do any sewing work at home.
Huan Huan occasionally makes herself a small skirt and underwear, because it is worn inside, so it doesn't matter if it is a little ugly.
But it's different to make clothes as gifts. It must be beautiful and fine.
These two requirements are gradually not met.
She said angrily, "If I can't make clothes, then I'll make handkerchiefs, one for each person, and embroider their names on them, so they're all different."
Xiao Ba: "Can you be more perfunctory?"
Huan Huan was very discouraged: "The clothes can't be made, and the handkerchief is too perfunctory, so what should I give them?"
"Don't say Dad won't help you, I have a book here, take it and read it."
A parchment book appeared out of thin air in front of Slowly.
On the cover was written a line of big characters, "365 Moves to Suo Han".
Slowly flipping through two pages, it was full of tips on how to flirt with men, and there was a chapter dedicated to giving gifts.
She stared at the chapter to read.
The door was opened, and Baidi walked in: "Slow down, a guest is coming."
Huan Huan was so frightened that she quickly stuffed the parchment into her skirt.
She sat up straight, with a dignified appearance that there is no silver three hundred taels here: "What guest?"
"The king of beasts is here, and he said he wants to talk to you face to face."
"Oh, you go out first, I'll come back soon after changing clothes."
Bai Di didn't move, his eyes turned around her.
Huan Xu felt guilty at first, and now she felt even more uncomfortable being watched: "You, do you have anything else to do?"
"What were you looking at just now?"
"It's nothing, it's just a book."
Bai Di asked softly: "Can you show me that book?"
Huan Huan refused without thinking: "No way!"
A look of disappointment appeared in Baidi's eyes: "You really don't trust us? Now you don't even want to show me a book, so I'd better go back and forget it."
He turned to leave.
Huan Huan hurriedly asked, "Where are you going?"
"Go back to Rock Mountain, and never appear in front of you again, so that you won't be embarrassed because of us again."
After Baidi finished speaking, he lifted his foot and walked out the door.
She was so frightened that she rushed over and hugged his leg: "Don't go!"
Bai Di was unmoved and insisted on leaving.
Huan Huan was forced to have no choice but to compromise: "Okay, I'll lend you the book, but as agreed, you can only read it once, and I will put it away after finishing it."
Baidi withdrew his forward foot, smiled at the corner of his eyes, and said softly, "Okay."
Slowly reaching under the skirt to get the book, but found nothing.
She raised the hem of her skirt suspiciously, looked down, and found that the book had fallen to the ground.
It should be that she accidentally dropped the book when she rushed to hug Baidi just now.
She was about to reach out to pick it up, but was a step too late.
Baidi picked up the parchment book first.
"It's agreed to only take a look!" Huan Huan's heart rang loudly, and he rushed forward to snatch the book back.
It's a pity that she is too short.
As soon as Baidi raised his hand, the book was lifted up, no matter how much she bounced, she couldn't reach the parchment.
The sadness of the short legs, how angry!
She shouted anxiously: "Give me back the book!"
Bai Di didn't think there was anything wrong with the book at first, but when he saw her reaction so fiercely, he became curious, looked up at the parchment in his hand, and saw the big characters on the cover at a glance.
"365 strokes of flirting with men".
Thanks to Slowly, he also learned a lot of simplified Chinese characters and numbers.
Unfortunately, he knew all the words on it.
Bai Di looked down at her, and his tone was so gentle that water could overflow: "What are you doing reading this kind of book? Are you going to pick up some more male beasts and come back to be your companions?"
Slowly and quickly shook his head and said no.
"lie."
Slowly almost cried: "I'm not lying, I'm telling the truth!"
Bai Di shook his head: "People say that females like the new and dislike the old. I didn't think you were that kind of person, but I didn't expect..."
Slowly unable to argue: "What should I do so that you can trust me?"
Baidi returned the book to her.
"Burn it, and I'll trust you."
Slowly and quickly said: "Okay, I'll burn it later, let's go see the king of beasts first, don't let him wait too long."
She hasn't finished reading this book yet, so she can't miss it for the time being, so let's fool around first.
"No, you burn it now, and I will watch you burn it with my own eyes."
"..."
What can I do slowly
She could only light the parchment in front of Baidi.
Only when it was completely reduced to ashes did Baidi feel satisfied: "Okay, I'll accompany you to see the King of Beasts."
