"Eunuch, everything is ready, you can carry out the execution." Captain Zhang of the Embroidered Uniform Guard stepped forward and bowed to Feng Bao.
Feng Bao nodded.
"Put down the sticks!" Captain Zhang of the Imperial Guard turned around and shouted to the two rows of Imperial Guard captains who were carrying out the execution.
"Put down the stick!"
Two rows of Jinyiwei captains shouted in unison, and the sound made Zhu Ping'an's ears buzz.
Then, a burly Jinyiwei captain came out with a court stick in his hand, walked slowly to Zhu Ping'an, and placed the stick on Zhu Ping'an's buttocks.
"cold... ... "
Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. There was no other way. The court stick was wrapped with iron sheet. When it touched his buttocks, he couldn't help but feel his anus tighten.
"Ahem..."
The captain of the Jinyiwei who was gathering his strength suddenly choked when he heard Zhu Ping'an's words... Can you be serious? This is a beating in the court.
"beat."
Feng Bao, as the inner court supervising officer, shouted under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
Li Shu's eyes were as black as ink. When she heard the word "beat", a tear instantly burst out and flowed down... ...
When the chubby little maid heard the word "beat", she was so scared that she closed her eyes. She didn't dare to watch Zhu Ping'an being beaten with a stick. She put her chubby hands together in front of her chest as if praying to Buddha. As if a small motor was pressed, she kept shaking up and down, muttering in her little mouth, "Please Guanyin Bodhisattva, please Buddha, please Jade Emperor, please bless my son-in-law... Please, I will never eat meat again..."
Unlike them who were worried and afraid, Ouyang Zishi, Luo Longwen and others were overjoyed.
"See? The toes of that little eunuch's boots are turned inwards. Haha, Zhu Ping'an is doomed now."
Ouyang Zishi pointed at Feng Bao's standing posture and spoke excitedly to Luo Longwen and Yuan Wei.
"Haha, money makes the world go round. Ouyang, I was right, wasn't I? The money was not wasted. The toe of the boot is turned inward, which means death. Twenty strokes of the cane are enough to beat Zhu Ping'an, a weak scholar, to death." Luo Longwen smiled and took credit.
"It would be better if he was beaten to death, it would be better if he was beaten to death..." Ouyang Zishi thought of the time when Zhu Ping'an stole the top spot from him and the unclear past between him and his cousin Miss Yan Er. He cursed excitedly with a distorted face.
After Feng Bao shouted "beat!", the officers who were carrying out the imperial caning shouted in unison, "beat!"
The sound was so loud and scary that the little maid Hua'er was shaking all over with fear. If Qin'er hadn't supported her, the girl would have collapsed to the ground out of fear.
However, the person involved, Zhu Ping'an, was very calm. Twenty strokes of the cane, and Feng Bao had revealed in advance that this was only the lightest "beating". Just now, he heard the little maid Hua'er slip of the tongue. Although Hua'er stopped talking in time, Zhu Ping'an, who was very familiar with Hua'er, knew what was going on as soon as he heard it. It must be that Li Shu spent money. With such a double insurance, the caning in court must be very "lenient" this time.
Think about Senior Brother Yang. He was beaten with the cane one hundred times, half of which were "hard beatings" and half of which were "beaten with all one's heart." The lightest "hard beating" was heavier than "beating" by oneself, but Senior Brother Yang didn't even cry out in pain and he endured all the one hundred beatings.
It was only twenty "very lenient" strokes of the cane. He gritted his teeth and it would be over quickly.
Besides, although being beaten with a stick in the court is a kind of humiliation, it is also a kind of honor. Civil officials die for remonstrance and military officials die for battle. In the Ming Dynasty, when an official was beaten with a stick in the court, it was like being awarded a medal. He would immediately become famous for his courage to argue in the court, and his name would be recorded in history. He would be respected and would be superior to other officials when he walked around. When comparing qualifications, if he showed that he had been beaten with a stick in the court, he could immediately knock out his opponent.
Although your butt will suffer, you will become famous.
"bring it on."
Zhu Ping'an tried very hard to prepare himself for the imperial caning...
The burly captain in charge of the first blow in the field lifted the stick from Zhu Ping'an's buttocks as soon as Feng Bao finished speaking, and raised it high above his head. His muscular body gleamed in the sun, full of explosive power.
The iron sheet that covered the court staff, as well as the faintly visible barbs on the iron sheet, emitted a cold luster in the sunlight.
When the court stick was raised to the highest point, there was a brief pause as the captain was gathering strength.
"Huh!"
After accumulating strength, the captain shouted loudly and swung the court stick in his hand down fiercely.
Woohoo~~
When it was swung down, the court stick broke through the air, making a humming sound like a ghost crying.
The little maidservant was so scared that she collapsed on Qin'er...
Seeing this, Ouyang Zishi clenched his toes in excitement and kept repeating, "Yes, yes, that's it."
"bring it on."
As the cane sounded like a ghost, Zhu Ping'an took a deep breath and prepared himself to be beaten.
I hit him half with my heart and half with my strength, and Brother Yang was able to do it without even crying out in pain. My caning of the court stick is very lenient, so I can do it too.
Haha, maybe I can also leave a reputation as a "tough guy" in history. Just thinking about it makes me excited.
This wave is not a loss.
Zhu Ping'an's eyes became firm, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up...
“Bang!”
The cane in the court instantly fell on Zhu Ping'an's buttocks with a whimpering sound, making a sound of hitting flesh that echoed throughout the place. It sounded like thunder, but much clearer and louder than thunder.
The effect is even more shocking.
With this blow, Zhu Ping'an's buttocks sank visibly and blood spurted out immediately. The scene was very strong and shocking.
It hurts, it hurts... It hurts, it hurts... Damn it, it hurts so much. The pain so intense that it was like a landslide or tsunami, instantly destroyed Zhu Ping'an's nervous system, went straight to his head, and violently pierced through his forehead.
Almost at the same time as the court stick fell.
“Ahhh…”
Zhu Ping'an began to howl uncontrollably at the top of his lungs, the sound of his voice seeming to be even louder than the sound of a cane hitting flesh.
Did I get the wrong script?!
After the scream.
Zhu Ping'an's face instantly turned red. He was so embarrassed. He wanted to learn from Senior Brother Yang and not make a sound until the end of the beating. But he couldn't even withstand one beating... As expected, not everyone can be a tough guy...
While Zhu Ping'an was howling, tears suddenly burst out of Li Shu's watery eyes like a spring.
"Hahahaha... Well done, well done..."
When Ouyang Zishi saw the effect of the beating with the imperial cane and heard Zhu Ping'an's scream like a slaughtered pig, he immediately laughed like a 130-pound child who had eaten candy. His smile was so bright and satisfied that it was indescribable. He danced with excitement and cheered.
It's so exciting, I feel like my life has reached its climax, I feel like my life has reached its peak, so shocking, so dazzling, so colorful... ... If this BGM sounded at this time, it would be more suitable for Ouyang Zishi.
Luo Longwen also clapped his hands excitedly and cheered.
Seeing Zhu Ping'an howling in misery, Yuan Wei couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
