Mu Hanzhong

Shao Zhidan put the folding fan in the palm of his hand, glanced at the two people opposite him without any trace, and found that they, like himself, were not clear about the palace lord's sudden actions today.Then he turned his head and glanced at the chariot beside him, and saw the young man sitting upright, looking calm and calm.A little appreciation rose from the bottom of my heart, the folding fan opened and closed, Shao Zhidan had decided to wait and see what happened.

"I suddenly called you here today, I think you must be very confused now."

The sudden pleasant voice broke the oppressive and tense atmosphere in the hall, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously, and then looked at the people seated above.

In front of the screen inlaid with gold lacquer, a young man in white was leaning on the front seat. The smoke from the left and right incense tubes lingered around him. On his handsome face, there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and his tone of voice was gentle. A little careless, but a pair of long eyes are very cold, without a trace of warmth.

"However, I advise everyone to calm down for the time being, and it's not too late to have doubts after watching a performance I specially prepared for you." Wu Ye smiled, and made a slight gesture to Qing Yan who was standing next to him, and everyone cheered. Seeing Dong Hufa in a lavender gown, he turned and walked towards the small door behind the screen.

The small door leads to the apse. Judging by Protector Dong's appearance, it seems that he is going to summon something.Is it a troupe?Everyone couldn't help feeling curious, and began to guess in their hearts what the young man in the seat was trying to sell.

However, everyone didn't guess how long it took before Dong Qingyan came back.Then, the sound of heavy shackles came from outside the small door, echoing in the hall.Above the main hall, among the many palace crowds, those with keen minds and well-informed people immediately changed their faces when they heard the voice.

The first person who appeared in front of everyone was Bei Shuofeng wearing a mask and a black cloak. Behind him, there were more than a dozen subordinates in black from the execution hall, escorting ten men in shackles and disheveled hair towards the middle of the hall.

"My subordinates pay homage to the Lord!" With a flick of his robe, Bei Shuofeng knelt down respectfully, and the prisoners were also escorted by the execution hall to kneel down.

Wu Ye nodded, and Bei Shuofeng stood up. With a wave of his hand, the subordinates in black stepped aside and stood still.Only those ten people were left, still kneeling on the ground.

After a short period of surprise, everyone stared at the group of people in the middle, sized up and guessed, and even began to discuss in low voices.

"I don't know everyone, do you still remember the first rule of the Qianye Palace?" Wu Ye suddenly smiled and asked, not waiting for everyone to answer, "Shuofeng, you are in charge of the palace." Law, let everyone listen."

"Yes." Bei Shuofeng was ordered, and turned to face the crowd, "The first rule of the palace is that once you enter Qianye Palace, you will be a member of Qianye Palace. From then on, serve the palace master wholeheartedly and have no second thoughts! "

"Serve faithfully and never have another heart..." The low voice was like talking to himself, Wu Ye seemed to be thinking about something, and after a while, he continued, "Then...if someone doesn't obey the oath, is disrespectful, or even wants to What should I do if I plot rebellion?"

"It's a first-class crime of treason. According to the law, the hands and feet were cut off. Three thousand and six hundred knives were killed, and the corpse's head was filed to show the law to the public. The conspirators, regardless of the first, are guilty of the same crime!"

The two of them asked and answered here, but the others in the hall were secretly shocked and terrified.There was a bit of sympathy in the eyes of those people.Although I don't know what they committed, but there are only a few strokes of this kind of punishment in the punishment hall code for decades.

Wu Ye got up from his seat, and slowly swept across the hall where people with different expressions, but all of them were unconsciously afraid, he sighed suddenly, and when he spoke again, his tone was full of compassion: "Han Zhong Since taking over the position of palace lord three years ago, he has acted casually and recklessly, and all the affairs of the palace lord have been left to the Dharma protectors to deal with... It has been a long time, and there must be many people in the palace who are disappointed with Hanzhong... ...However, one matter is one matter, in the past three years, Han Zhong asked himself, and never treated anyone in the palace harshly..."

Mu Yunxiao was rumored to be in Mu Hanzhong back then, and was opposed by many people because Mu Hanzhong was reckless and indulged in sensuality, so he was determined not to be the palace lord.But Mu Yunxiao ignored the objections, passed on the position directly, and then left. Everyone was helpless. Although they were resentful, they could only do their best to help Mu Hanzhong.Over the past three years, there have been no major disturbances, and the power of Qianye Palace is also developing steadily.Therefore, Mu Hanzhong, the palace lord, may not have done a great job, but he wasn't that bad either. To be honest, he treated his subordinates and the palace audience well.

At this time, what Wu Ye said was the truth, but everyone wondered why he suddenly said this.

Wu Ye took a few steps forward, came to the kneeling people, and looked down at them: "You guys, as the hidden guards of Guanri Pavilion, are the elite of my Qianye Palace, and you will always stand behind me. Those who guard me, if you say that the people I trust the most in Qianye Palace are you, and you... unexpectedly..."

"I really don't know what benefit that person has given you, that you are willing to be his eyes and ears, work hard for him, leak all the secrets in my palace, and obey my orders..."

The few people kneeling on the ground were silent, and they didn't seem to hear Wu Ye's words full of helplessness and pain.On the other hand, the rest of the people in the hall were all moved by it, and those with rich feelings secretly began to regret in their hearts that they had been too harsh on Mu Hanzhong in the past.Although the palace lord acts recklessly and is indifferent, but after all, he has a strong heart, and how could he not sigh and feel sad when he was betrayed by the secret guard who put so much effort into it!

At the end of Wu Ye's speech, he seemed to be in so much pain that he couldn't speak any more. He closed his eyes deeply, let out a long sigh, and said, "That's all! Money and power have indeed had infinite charms from ancient times to the present, and people are willing to abandon everything for them." !Compared to that, the trust I gave is nothing, and the oath is nothing! It’s just a joke!”

Yes, for some people, money and power is a lifelong pursuit. In order to get them, they can use all means and tricks. Love, family, friendship... lovers, friends, family members... are all tools to get money and power and means...

Shao Zhidan lowered his eyes slightly, Ren Ye sighed and shook his head, his red eyes were flushed, and Nian Zhouren looked at Wu Ye thoughtfully... In the main hall, many people felt touched, watching Wu Ye and sighing Closing his eyes, he couldn't help but think of the promise he made in front of the palace when he first entered Qianye Palace.

——Once you enter Qianye Palace, you are a member of Qianye Palace.From now on, I will serve the Palace Master wholeheartedly, with no second thoughts!

The grief on the face gradually disappeared, and the familiar indifference slowly soaked in. In the eyes of everyone, the long eyelashes trembled slightly, and the young man who opened his eyes again returned to the familiar appearance not long ago.The black eyes are deep, cold and quiet, and there is a faint smile on the corner of the mouth, if there is nothing, there is no trace of fragility, no trace of grief!

His cold gaze swept across the kneeling people in the middle, and the cruelty and coldness in them made all the palace people beside him shudder.

"...When you have your heart, you should have expected today. So far, I don't want to say anything more... Shuofeng!"

"Yes!" Bei Shuofeng replied in a low voice.

"Let's start, deal with it according to the palace rules."

Bei Shuofeng led the way down, and the men in black who had been standing quietly in the corner of the main hall came up from the side, and another black man in black moved in ten wooden frames from the apse, lined them up in a row, placed them on the open space in the middle, and placed the ten The people were tied up separately.

As soon as the wooden frame came out, Shao Zhidan was startled, and subconsciously looked at the young man not far away, only to see him lazily leaning on the cushion behind him, his eyes half-closed, his fingers lightly tapping on the armrest, looking a little bored , seems to suddenly lose interest in things in the hall...

Ten people walked out of the men in black, each holding a small wooden frame, each walked to a wooden frame and stood still, then bent down and took out a short dagger from the frame, and walked in front of the person tied to the wooden frame.

There was a scream, and blood spurted out, but in an instant, the hands and feet of those ten people were all cut off!

The faces of the palace crowd standing in the front row turned pale. If they were still immersed in a sympathy for Wu Ye just now, then they all understand at this moment that the performance...has just begun...

Ling Chi's sword count totaled 360 swords, and the sentence was completed in three days.Calculated, on the first day, it should cost [-] knives.

For the 360 ​​knives, every time a knife is cut, a man in black next to him will report the number loudly.The people who reported the number had the same tone and rhythm, and each sound echoed overlappingly, and was heard in the ears of everyone in the hall. It was clearly an early summer afternoon, but they only felt gloomy and cold, and the cold air rushed through them.

After a heavy palm was slapped on the person on the wooden frame, the punishment of knife and knife began from the chest.In the beginning, every time the knife was cut, as the flesh the size of a fingernail was cut off, a little bit of blood flowed out.Later, every time the knife was cut, almost no blood flowed out.

……

At the hundredth cut, the chest muscles on both sides of the man on the wooden frame had been completely twisted, and all the cut pieces of meat were neatly placed on the wooden plate held by another man in black.

They didn't have the strength to howl anymore. The person at the front bit off his tongue because of the pain. Blood foam came out of his mouth in an endless stream. The man in black next to him couldn't continue to cut his knife.

Another person came forward, a bucket of cold water was poured on it with a splash, and the man in black with the knife shot out violently, pinching the man's throat fiercely.The purple tongue spit out naturally, the other hand stepped forward, the tip of the knife shook, and the tongue was cut off...

Qi Hongying finally couldn't help turning her head away, closing her eyes and not looking again.However, the continuous counting sound continued, and the sound of being cut with pieces of meat sounded...

This performance, at this moment, few people can continue to watch it...

The 360 ​​knives were finally finished, the wooden frame was sent down with people, and a man in black stepped forward to quickly clean up the blood splattered on the ground. Finally, everything returned to its original state, as if the execution just now was just for everyone. a nightmare...
