Yangzhou City is as prosperous as the prosperous times.
Ma Jiang had previously occupied the city. Although the rebels were brutal in defending the city, they did not destroy the city. Later, the Lady of Chu besieged the city. The siege and defense of the city did not last long, and Ma Jiang ran away.
The city and people of Yangzhou City are basically completely preserved.
After Mrs. Chu¡¯s arrival, countless people poured in, including wealthy businessmen, rich families, refugees and beggars. However, the government office was strictly managed and order was maintained. Those with money could not do whatever they wanted, but those without money could also find a way to survive. Yangzhou City became more prosperous.
People are coming and going on the street in winter. The child wearing a tiger head hat is held on the shoulders by his family to prevent him from being squeezed. He can also clearly see the colorful silk flower sheds newly installed by the shops on the street.
Elegant restaurants and street vendors complement each other beautifully, and there is a group of people juggling in the spacious area where the two streets meet.
People were doing somersaults like windmills, and monkeys with big red flowers on their heads were beating gongs and spinning in circles. Adults and children all cheered.
The two businessmen onlookers clapped their hands and threw down some money, then continued talking the next moment.
¡°It¡¯s getting colder and colder. I need to stock up. When will it arrive?¡±
"Don't worry, Shandong is too popular. I have other ways. There are plenty of them in Mobei."
"Mobei is too far away. There are many rebel areas along the way."
"Let's find a way."
They watched having fun, thinking about business, laughing, or frowning, and the rebels they talked about seemed to have become nothing more than a big deal.
They have a lady from the state of Chu here, a deity who is kind and loving to the people, and has no worries about anything.
Everyone on the street has their own excitement and fun, shouting and laughing one after another, until the sound in one place exceeds that of other places.
"Hitting someone, beating someone."
Beating someone? Fight?
Yangzhou city is crowded and prosperous, and all kinds of entertainment are common, but fights are not common. The government punishes fights extremely severely, ranging from hard labor to being kicked out of the Lady of Chu
Mrs. Chu ruled not only the city of Yangzhou, but also the entire Huainan Road, part of Xuanwu Road, and not Yizhou. There were also Chu troops on Jiangnan Road, and the lady's lover controlled Shannan Road
There is no way out on all sides.
Anyone who dares to fight in the street is either a reckless man or a fool. Everyone immediately rushes to watch.
After squeezing past, I realized why they were shouting about beating someone and not fighting.
A man was kneeling on the ground, with bloody marks on his naked back. A man standing behind him whipped his whip, and the whip hit the kneeling man's back, adding another bloody mark. The man was beaten forward and fell forward. Hitting the ground with his head
¡°This old slave is guilty!¡± The man who hit his head on the ground shouted, stood up, knelt down a step forward, and then arched his bloody back
With a snap, another whip came down.
People all around screamed, and children were held in their arms to cover their eyes. It was so scary, and it reminded everyone of the atrocities committed by the rebels during the occupation that everyone tried to forget.
Now is not the time for the rebels to occupy the city. This atrocity was immediately questioned by the people around them.
"Are you punishing the guilty slave? The master beats and punishes the slave privately, but he must be punished!"
"If he makes a mistake, he will be sent to the government and he will be convicted by the government. Private individuals are not allowed to kill him!"
Even more indignant people rushed forward to wrest the whip from the hands of the attacker.
"Everyone, please calm down!" The man who beat the man raised his whip and shouted loudly, "This is not to punish the guilty slave, he is not a slave, he is an official, he is the governor of Yizhou!"
Official?
The angry crowd stopped and fisted their fists, looking at the man kneeling on the ground. There were so many officials that they couldn't even recognize and remember all the officials from Huainan Road, let alone Yizhou.
¡°Then I saw that in addition to the person holding the riding whip, there was another person standing next to him, holding neatly folded official robes and hats.
The prefect is a very important official, and everyone in Yizhou knows it.
Yizhou is actually not adjacent to Huainan Road, but rather far away. It belongs to Yanhai Road.
It¡¯s just that Yizhou Fei said that he was also affiliated with Huainan Road, because this was the last wish of King Zhao.
When Yizhou was in crisis, the Lady of Chu led troops to help. Although King Zhao was in trouble, the people of Yizhou were saved. King Zhao felt that the Lady of Chu was kind and no one else could rely on him, so he could only entrust his territorial subjects to Mrs. Chu.
Yanhaidao could only pinch his nose and bear it when he was accused of being scolded, and he didn't care. The position of Yizhou belonged to them, but as the fief of King Zhao, he had never had any contact with them, so he gave it to Chu.Madam ?? just give it to me. Yanhaidao does not have many soldiers and horses, so it is difficult to protect itself. So many people and so many mouths are also a drag.
"The soldiers and horses in Yizhou are the Zhenwu Army left behind by my wife."
"Then this prefect was also appointed by Madam?"
People on the street began to talk, and the original anger subsided a little. If they were not slaves or civilians, but officials
Everyone asked: "Did this gentleman make any mistakes?"
The attendant did not answer, but whipped him again with the whip. Accompanied by the sound of whipping and painful shouts, the man fell down and hit his head on the ground.
"The old slave is guilty!" Weijie shouted while lying on the ground.
His pure voice has become hoarse, and the pain makes his whole body tremble, but he still holds his trembling body and kneels forward, and then waits for another whipping.
"Oh, it's so miserable."
"Where is this going?"
"This seems to be the residence of Mrs. Xiang Chu"
It was the Lady of the State of Chu who appointed her as an official, and she was guilty, so it was the Lady of the State of Chu who was punishing her, right? Otherwise, no one would whip themselves for no reason.
Since it is Mrs. Chu¡¯s decision, no one dares to stop it, or even question it. Mrs. Chu must be right
only
?? There were sounds of whipping, throwing, and cries of pain. The skin on the man¡¯s fair back was torn, and his knees, hands, and forehead were all bruised. As he knelt on the road, he left patches of blood
The last time Yangzhou City saw blood was when the rebels took over.
More and more people gathered on the street. They looked at the bloody man who was beaten and kneeling with fear and anxiety.
What mistake did he make? The most important thing about receiving such a terrible punishment is that Mrs. Chu also beat someone.
The beating was so fierce
"Isn't this the end of the matter and you run into the street and get whipped?"
"How come no one cares about him? Where are the city patrol officers?"
"The people who patrolled the city knew that he was the governor of Yizhou, so they didn't dare to act rashly."
"It is said that Yizhou's defense line made a mistake and allowed An Shouzhong to attack his wife. He deserves death."
Hearing this, Observer Song stopped and said, "Didn't I tell you this a long time ago? When he and Zhou Xian met with his wife, she personally said that it had nothing to do with them. To put it bluntly, how could Yizhou's defense line be so long? , they really think highly of themselves by coming here to admit their mistakes.¡±
The officials around him nodded, puzzled.
"yes."
"What's going on?"
"Yizhou has nothing to do with the attack on my wife. They just made an excuse to come and take a look."
"Zhou Xian has left. Master Wei said he was here to visit friends for a few days, so why did he go to the street and hurt himself?"
Everybody was talking a lot, this matter was inexplicable.
"Is it really Madam who punished him?" someone asked hesitantly.
¡°No, Madam never punishes anyone, she is magnanimous, even the prefecture officials who defected to the rebels can tolerate them regardless of their faults.
¡°That¡¯s why he¡¯s gone crazy.¡± Someone asserted.
That Weijiang didn¡¯t look like someone who would go crazy. Most of them had dealt with this Weijiang before. He was a eunuch, but not annoying at all.
"That's not certain. He is an imperfect person, and he was stimulated by King Zhao's death. Maybe his heart has long been abnormal."
Everyone was talking more and more confused, and Inspector Song interrupted with a wave of his hand.
"Whether Madam is really angry with him and wants to punish him, or he has lost his mind and gone crazy." He shouted in a deep voice, "We cannot let him harm himself in public."
He walked out of the Yamen and looked at the crowds gathering on the street leading to the Yamen. It was as dark as dark clouds, casting a shadow over the originally bright Yangzhou City.
"This is ruining Madam's reputation!"
Mrs. Chu Guo is a fairy-like figure. She is kind, loving and generous. She gives away thousands of gold to others. She has no selfish interests and no selfish anger.
How could she punish someone so cruelly for a crime that was not a crime!
"Gods don't do this kind of thing, and kind and wise people don't do this kind of thing either. Those who do this kind of thing are often cruel and mediocre people.
The officials¡¯ faces turned slightly pale.
"Bring him back quickly!"
?¡
?¡
The Dao Yamen were still a step too late, and were already taken away by the officers and soldiers sent by Mrs. Chu.
At this time, he was kneeling on the ground, the whip was thrown beside him, blood was flowing from his body, and flowers bloomed on the smooth ground.
The delicate eunuch lay crouched in the blood flowers, like a snowman melting under the sun, and would disappear in the next moment.
Li Minglou¡¯s eyes showed no pity: ¡°It¡¯s over, why do you want to ruin my reputation?¡±
The snowman among the blood flowers slowly raised his head and looked at the woman sitting above him with pure eyes.
"Madam, because your reputation is so good." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)The prisoner was lying in the blood flowers, like a snowman melting in the sun, and he would disappear in the next moment.
