Chapter 100 Torture
After Liu Xia finished speaking, she got up and walked out of the door.
At this stage, it doesn't matter whether to kill Song Qingming or not.
After all, he is a political envoy, a feudal official of Wuzhou, and a born of the Wuzhou clan, which has a great role in his current stability in Wuzhou.
Secondly, he is an important pawn of Tuoba Lingyun. Keep it, and he is a witness.
As soon as Liu Xia went out, all the officials behind him filed out and hurriedly followed Liu Xia.
The porridge field is on the square outside the county government office, only more than 30 meters away from the county government office. Even so, I'm afraid that most of these officials have never been here.
When Liu Xia arrived at the porridge field, more than 30 porridge pots on the porridge field were steaming.
The official in charge of the porridge farm is a counselor.
The council is an official position under the Chief Secretary. It is located under the political participation. From the fourth grade, there is no fixed member. Generally, it depends on the busy local business.
It is divided into different responsibilities such as supervising grain, supervising the book, and guarding the road.
The counselor in charge of the porridge field, named Huang Benyuan, is the birth of the local Huang family.
Huang Benyuan was waiting to be promoted in the county government this morning. Suddenly, he heard that Liu Xia was going to the porridge field, and there was no trace of blood on his face.
At this moment, I can only follow Liu Xia tremblingly and enter the porridge field.
Liu Xia suddenly arrived, which made the guards in charge of the porridge field suddenly excited and hurriedly pretended to maintain order one by one. In an instant, the noisy sound of the porridge field suddenly became much quieter.
Nowadays, there are less than seven or eight hundred exiles in Qiu County. At this moment, they are lined up in an orderly manner, waiting for relief.
"Lord Song, I don't know which official is in charge of the porridge field?"
When Liu Xia arrived at the porridge field and saw an orderly scene, she couldn't help nodding and asking.
"The prince is the Lord Huang of Huang Benyuan."
Song Qingming said hurriedly and respectfully.
"Oh, who is Lord Huang? Come out and let me have a look."
Liu Xia said with a slight smile.
At this time, a man was slightly fat and not very tall. Looking at a very honest middle-aged man in his forties, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Huang Benyuan, see the prince."
"Well, this porridge field is well done, and it lives up to my expectations of you. I believe that you don't have a meal. I will use some here today, which is also a way to experience the hardships of the local people.
Liu Xia nodded and praised.
"What the prince said is that as a court official, we should naturally share the joys and sorrows and adversity with the people."
Song Qingming hurriedly hugged his fists and laughed.
"Well, very good, Lord Huang, order someone to put porridge in the porridge pot. Your adults and I have eaten here today.
Liu Xia said with a smile.
At this moment, Huang Benyuan knelt on the ground, trembled all over, and the sweat on his forehead was wet on the ground in front of him.
"Wang, my lord, I'm afraid these coarse rice are not to your appetite. It's better for the little man to do it again..."
Huang Benyuan said tremblingly, but before he finished speaking, Liu Xia smiled and said, "Just now, Lord Song has said that we should share joys and sorrows and sorrows with the people. Hurry up."
Huang Benyuan was completely dumbfounded this time.
Song Qingming looked at Huang Benyuan and couldn't help thumping in his heart. He knew that there was something wrong.
Seeing Huang Benyuan kneeling on the ground and not daring to get up for a long time, he smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you can stay here. You are the prince, why don't you go somewhere else to use it?"
"No, I'm the kind of person who can't bear hardships? Dabao, go and serve the meal."
Liu Xia frowned and said.
Dabao was also unambiguous. He came straight out of the crowd and walked on the edge of the porridge pot. He couldn't help but be stunned.
"Your Majesty, come and have a look."
Dabao said hurriedly.
Liu Xia walked over in three steps and two steps. At this moment, the officials behind Liu Xia also followed him.
As a result, they were all stunned, bowed their heads one by one, and did not dare to gasp.
Because the porridge can be seen in the large pot with a diameter of 1.5 meters.
Liu Xia grabbed the shovel of the master in charge of the spoon and fished a shovel from the pot, but he didn't get a grain of rice.
This is no different from boiling water.
"Touch!"
Liu Xia fell straight to the ground with the shovel on his back, stood there with his hands on his back, slowly turned around, looked at the officials behind him, and looked at them one by one.
Those officials were trembling with fear, and they were very nervous.
"Lord Song, as far as I know, although Wuzhou is not the hometown of fish and rice, the grain output is not the lowest in the dynasty. Dare to ask, has Wuzhou's food been strained to this extent?
Liu Xia asked in anger.
Song Qingming knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, forgive me, the lower official failed to investigate."
"Haha, ha ha ha. You are quite good. Huang Benyuan, please explain to me what's going on?
Liu Xia sneered and asked Huang Benyuan.
"Your Majesty, you deserve to die. Damn it, I'm going to die."
Huang Benyuan knelt on the ground and kowtowed constantly. He knew that Liu Xia, not only when he was young, was extremely vicious.
"You really deserve to die. You kill you, which is not enough for civilians to be angry. Liu Liansheng!"
Liu Xia drank it.
"My subordinates are!"
"Take Huang Benyuan down, torture me severely, and take down all the criminals."
"No!"
Without saying a word, Liu Liansheng dragged Huang Benyuan down.
Liu Xia looked back at Song Qingming, who was kneeling on the ground and said, "Lord Song, concentrate all the officials above the sixth grade here. Today, I would like to see how majestic you officials in Wuzhou are.
Song Qingming dared to say more, and hurriedly got up and whispered a few words to the entourage behind him.
Song Qingming brought a lot of officials from Wuzhou. In addition to the newly appointed and temporary agents in the past few days, more than 200 people gathered in the square in a moment.
Liu Xia sat on the side of the square, looking at the official kneeling below and silent.
"Lord Song, who is the official in charge of your order in the porridge field?"
Liu Xia asked lightly.
"Yes, it's Zhao Youting, a hundred households."
"Let him come to see me."
Liu Xia said.
At this time, from the crowd guarding one side, a hundred households came out in a hurry. This hundred households was the beast who teased the old man yesterday.
When Liu Xia saw him, she couldn't help clenching her fist.
"Zhao Baihu, I ask you, do you know the rules of the imperial court's porridge?"
Liu Xiaqiang asked with anger.
"The prince, the last general, the last general knows."
"Well, it seems that you are not ignorant. Then I will ask you again, do you know the situation of the porridge market, why is it not reported?
Liu Xia asked again.
"This, this..."
Zhao Youting doesn't know what to say at this moment.
"You can't say it, can you? I will say it for you, because you and Huang Benyuan are simply in collusion and together!"
Liu Xia got up and said angrily.
"Your Highness, the last general is wronged. The last general was not involved in this matter. The last general thought it was light and didn't dare to say more.
Zhao Youting shouted hurriedly.
"Hahahaha, what a person who whispers softly. Can people be light and let these poor people bark in broad daylight? Is your conscience fucking eaten by the dog?
Liu Xiazhong went over, put his foot on Zhao Youting's body, and immediately kicked Zhao Youting out seven or eight meters and fell into the distance.
When Liu Xia said this, Song Qingming knew that this had been planned by Liu Xia in advance, and the evidence was conclusive. Today, no one dared to save him. It was the best strategy to protect himself.
The other officials knelt there one by one, lowered their heads, and did not dare to say anything.
"Come on, Zhao Youting is here and Ling Chi is executed. 3,600 dollars, not a single knife is missing.
Liu Xia drank it angrily.
"No!"
At present, the two imperial troops will drag Zhao Youting, who spit blood on one side.
"Liu Hongtao! Where are the precepts?
Liu Xia said angrily.
"The prince ordered."
At this moment, Liu Hongtao looked up and said.
"Drag down all the soldiers responsible for maintaining the order of the porridge field and beat 500 military sticks."
Liu Xia said angrily.
Liu Hongtao dared to talk nonsense. At present, he ordered his guards to mobilize more troops. A moment later, on the edge of the square, less than 300 soldiers guarding the porridge field were tied to the ground by the soldiers. The execution soldiers with water and fire sticks began to fight.
At present, the screams in the square are one after another.
"Tight me hard."
When Liu Xia saw that the soldiers were weak, she immediately drank it.
Liu Hongtao hurried over, grabbed a water and fire stick, hit a soldier's body hard, and then broke the soldier's leg.
At this time, the officials who were scared kneeling in the square were like sieves.
There are screams on the side of Guangcheng, and on the other side of the square, a erected iron pillar is ready.
Ling Chi is an extremely cruel torture. The executioner absolutely needs good skills. He cuts the meat on the human body with a knife, piece by piece, and has to cut more than 3,600 knives to let that person die.
It is already an inhumane level of torture.
At this moment, Zhao Youting was stripped all over, tied to the pillar, and trembled.
It is reasonable that his sin will not lead to death, even if it is death, it will not be tortured like this.
But if you don't kill him, how can you rectify this wind of corruption in Wuzhou's officialdom?
If it is usual, Liu Xia will pass with one eye closed, but under this special situation, it can only be said that Zhao Youting hit the muzzle.
When the executioner was about to start the execution, Liu Xia shouted, "Wait a minute."
Everyone thought that Liu Xia calmed down and didn't kill him.
As a result, Liu Xia took out two elixirs and gave them to Liu Liansheng and said, "Take these two elixirs for him. One can increase the pain that he can bear a hundred times, and the other is the top-quality elixirs. I want him to clearly feel the pain of every knife. The people here have become poor like this. How dare they be so presumptuous, especially under the king's eyes. Don't they have eyes to bully me?
When those officials heard this, their hearts fluttered and kept jumping.
So, the long torture began.
The executioner usually cuts off the person's eyelids first, so that he can open his eyes and see the real process of torture. After the executioner's first knife, Zhao Youting collapsed.
At this moment, in the square, screams came one after another, and the officials who listened to it kept trembling.
