Chapter 1207
Today's naval training ends much earlier than before.
When everyone was gathered together, they seemed to have realized that something big might happen today. Sure enough, along with the silver cart being pushed in front of everyone, there were also the three brothers of the Xie family, all of whom knelt down on the ground with faces like the ground. In front of and behind stood three shirtless men, holding whips made of cowhide in their hands. Following He Jiaan's order, there was a piercing whistling sound in the air, which landed on the backs of the three brothers and sent out bursts of shock. The crisp sound made everyone feel stunned, and they felt a faint fear of He Jia'an in their hearts. They didn't expect that Mr. He, who looked like a scholar, was actually a ruthless character.
Before the hundred lashes were finished, Xie Tianqi and Xie Tianyang had already passed out. Looking at the bloodstains on their backs, everyone had a new understanding of the frail Mr. He in front of them.
Compared to beheading, this whipping is already magnanimous enough.
He Jiaan didn't let them go easily just because they passed out, and ordered coldly: "Wake them up with cold water."
"Yes, my lord." When the executioner was about to carry the water basin, Xie Tiansheng who was at the side suddenly shouted: "My lord, it all happened because of it. My two brothers just listened to me. A good man does things." Be a hero, I will carry all the rest for them."
You have to know that two people have passed out after less than half of it. If all of them are added to you alone, it will be nearly two hundred whips. No matter how good your physique is, I am afraid you will not be able to carry it.
He Jiaan originally wanted to continue to use Xie Tiansheng, but when he heard that he was going to carry two hundred lashes, he couldn't help feeling a little unbearable in his heart, thinking how to excuse him, but don't beat him up When he died, Xie Tiansheng shouted again: "Lord He, if a villain does a mistake, he is wrong. The military law is as great as the sky. I thank Tiansheng for his conviction. I will take the rest of the whip."
Sure enough, he is a real man, now even the following people were moved by Xie Tiansheng's words, suddenly someone stood up from the crowd and shouted at He Jiaan: "Master He, brother Xie is always very good to us , I carried his brother's whip for them."
After finishing speaking, the man hurriedly walked to Xie Tiansheng's side, knelt down, and shouted at the executioner behind him: "Come on, let's fight."
This……
Even the executioner was dumbfounded. For so many years, I have only seen some hiding and some running, but I have never seen anyone running over to beat me up. I couldn't help but look up at He Jiaan's direction. What I saw It was He Jia'an's uncertain expression.
Once there was one who rushed forward, there was a second one, and within a short meeting, more than a dozen people knelt down beside Xie Tiansheng. At this moment, He Jiaan finally moved, walked up to these people and looked at them, Slowly nodded and said: "A man has something to do and something not to do. Why do you have to bear the mistakes Xie Tiansheng made? Well, don't say that my He family is ruthless. I will give Xie Tiansheng a choice now, or you Take a hundred lashes, and the rest will be distributed to you good brothers, and the debt between us will be written off."
"What about the other way?" Xie Tiansheng raised his head and looked at He Jiaan stubbornly.
"Or, you can bear the two hundred lashes yourself." After a pause, He Jiaan said word by word: "At that time, I will promote you to the general and command the whole ship."
Uh?
Hearing that Xie Tiansheng could be promoted to General Commander as long as he could bear the [-] lashes, and when he kissed the unified ship, everyone's eyes turned from sympathy to jealousy. You must know that in He Jiaan's naval order, General Commander is a ship. The highest officer of the battleship, this is an official position that others can't even ask for. I didn't expect Xie Tiansheng to make such a fuss, and he would be able to get a boss. How can people not be jealous now.
Xie Tiansheng didn't expect that he had already betrayed He Jia'an once, and he still had such trust in himself, so his emotions were naturally turbulent. He nodded and said forcefully: "The little one will never disappoint Master He's trust. Choose the second option."
"Okay, keep calling me."
In the end, Xie Tiansheng still couldn't survive the two hundred whips, and he passed out when he was just over 100. When he woke up again, it was already dark outside, and he couldn't remember what happened next. Have you ever endured these two hundred lashes? Just as you were about to move your body, the injury in your back suddenly hurt, and you couldn't help but yelled out "ah".
"Brother, are you awake?" A black shadow slowly groped over in the darkness, and when it touched Xie Tiansheng, it hurriedly whispered: "Drink this medicine quickly, it's been hot for many times."
Xie Tiansheng wasn't sure what his injury was like, but he asked worriedly, "Third brother, are your injuries okay? Where's your second brother?"
It was the youngest Xie Tianyang who spoke just now, and after he responded, he said: "Second brother has been up for half the night, and I just left for a while, I am here to replace him, our injuries are not serious, it is you, brother... ..."
While talking, Xie Tianyang couldn't help sobbing again.
"Why are you crying, I'm not dead yet." Xie Tiansheng was relatively open-minded, forced a smile and said, "As long as you are all right, come, give me the medicine."
"Here you are." Xie Tianyang quickly wiped away the last tears, brought the medicine bowl in his hand to Xie Tiansheng's mouth, and then reluctantly drank it.
After drinking, Xie Tiansheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. Today, he has survived a catastrophe. He made such a big mistake this time. If it were placed on other officials, he might have shown his brother to the public. Not only did your lord give him a chance to survive, but he actually wanted to promote him, thinking about the methods he used to him, Xie Tiansheng felt extremely ashamed.
"By the way, has Master He ever been here?" Xie Tiansheng asked suddenly.
"No." Xie Tianyang replied in a low voice: "Although Mr. He has never been here, he has sent a doctor over here. The medicine that elder brother drank just now was given by the doctor. I heard from him that the medicine will be taken for more than ten days in a row. Your injury will heal."
"It turns out that's the case. I also want to personally thank Mr. He for not killing me. It seems that I can only wait until later."
At this moment, Xie Tianyang suddenly interjected: "I heard that Mr. He left before paying his salary. Many of them said that Mr. He went to settle accounts with Eunuch Li."
"What?" As soon as Xie Tiansheng heard this, he suddenly became more energetic. He wanted to get up and help He Jiaan, but the huge pain in his body made him fall down again, and he sighed heavily: " It's all my fault, and I can't help Mr. He."
"Brother, don't worry, Mr. He is so powerful, he will definitely not suffer."
Just when the Xie brothers were discussing where He Jiaan was, He Jiaan was really sitting with Li Fu at this time, but the relationship between the two of them was not as tense as they imagined. In a private room on the top floor.
Looking at the small dishes in front of him, Li Fu couldn't help snorting coldly: "Master He came to find the miscellaneous family today, but he kept silent all the time. If he asked the miscellaneous family to eat with him, I'm really sorry. The miscellaneous family still has something to do, so I'm sorry. I'll accompany you."
Chapter 1208 is just a warning
Chapter 1208 is just a warning
Li Fu stood up from his seat and saw that He Jiaan still didn't respond and was still eating. He finally couldn't help it. After snorting heavily, he walked out of the private room, but he just pulled away. The one standing in front of the door to greet him was not Xiao Shunzi in his imagination, but the young man who had been with He Jiaan all the time. Li Fu recognized him. His name was Tang Lin, and he was a very powerful master.
The master himself has seen a lot, so what if there are masters in the big house everywhere, when he sees himself, he still obediently salutes and bows, so Li Fu didn't pay attention to Tang Lin, and sharply snapped his eyes: "What are you going to do? ? Hurry up and let the miscellaneous family get out of the way, slow down and be careful that the miscellaneous family will kill you."
Unexpectedly, after finishing speaking, Tang Lin didn't intend to move his body at all, he squinted at Li Fu with disdain, and hummed softly: "Eunuch Li, you'd better go back and sit down, before my husband finishes speaking, you... ...can't go yet."
"Presumptuous." Hearing Tang Lin's words, Li Fu became even more angry, and regardless of the gap between himself and Tang Lin, he stretched out his hand and slapped Tang Lin's face.
Tang Lin gave Li Fu's palm away with a slight flash, but he grabbed Li Fu's wrist when he stretched out his hand, and then said disdainfully: "If Eunuch Li wants to be rough, I can accompany you for a while." two."
"You..." Unable to fight and unable to get out, Li Fu glared at Tang Lin, then finally turned around and walked back, staring at He Jiaan again, and said angrily: "He Jiaan, what on earth are you trying to do? Are you not afraid that I will tell the emperor what you have done?"
"Afraid?" He Jiaan's interest finally shifted from the small dishes in front of him to Li Fu's face, and he looked astonished as if he was terribly afraid of Li Fu, but then he smiled disdainfully: "If you say Afraid, I think Eunuch Li should be more afraid than me, inciting soldiers to mutiny, it seems that this is not a small crime, and it should not be something that a supervisor should do, right?"
"Mutiny?" Li Fu sneered: "Why can't I understand what Mr. He said? What mutiny? When Mr. He said this, he had to produce evidence, empty words, and miscellaneous people would not admit it of."
"Really?" He Jiaan smiled slightly, stretched out his hand, took out a silver ingot from his sleeve, and put it on the table.
"Master He, what does this mean?" Li Fu glanced at Yuan Bao and asked with a puzzled expression.
"Hehe." He Jia'an smiled, and continued, "Don't Eunuch Li think this ingot looks familiar?"
"I don't think so." Li Fu shook his head directly.
"Eunuch Li might as well turn over the silver and you will know."
Li Fu's heart moved suddenly, and he turned the silver over silently. When he saw the words engraved on the bottom of the silver, he blurted out: "This is the official silver."
He Jiaan nodded, pretending to be puzzled and said: "Eunuch Li is right, there is one thing I don't quite understand, this is Paju, how could there be an official bank from Beizhili? I wonder if Eunuch Li can help me?" Explain one or two?"
There are hundreds of secrets in everything, and eventually there will be one omission, and the problem arises on this ingot of official silver.
When I gave the money to the Xie family brothers, I was in Suzhou. Before I had time to turn the official money into ordinary money, something happened suddenly, so I gave it out. Unexpectedly, He Jiaan caught it handle.
But even if he can get the official money, so what, as long as he firmly refuses to admit it, how dare he beat him to death?
"Humph." Li Fu snorted coldly, threw the money back on the table, and asked puzzledly: "Master He is really joking, why did the money from Beizhili appear here, I should ask you instead Ask the miscellaneous family, the miscellaneous family is just a supervisor, and you are the parent officer in Paju."
"Eunuch is right. At first I thought that the money was brought by Eunuch. Since Eunuch said it was not, I have no choice but to search it. If there is any offence, I hope Eunuch will forgive me."
Li Fu couldn't help having a bad thought in his heart, and said quickly: "Master He, what are you going to do? The miscellaneous family does have some official money in their hands, but they haven't sold it yet."
"It's not easy to know if it's right or not, just put them together and see if they're right."
