The eunuch was greatly alarmed.
Why did he kill me?
It was clearly Shen Lang who was running amok.
He acted recklessly in front of the palace, falsified the flogging, and molested the princess.
His Majesty likes me the most.
Because I'm the best at raising orchids. There were three pots of the best orchids. That old bastard Li Sun killed one pot, but I kept two alive. That's why the Monarch promoted me to serve in his study.
I'm the most favored eunuch. Why did he kill me?
But the four warriors had already stepped forward and dragged him out.
The eunuch shrieked, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it was Shen Lang who made a mistake. He touched Princess Ning Yan's breasts just now!"
Shen Lang's hair stood on end when he heard that.
Damn it, you lowly thing. Why did you bite me before you die?
The Monarch's gaze was like lightning as he looked at Shen Lang's hands.
Shen Lang felt like his hands were about to be chopped off.
"Your Majesty, I've taken care of your rare orchids. Why did you kill me? Why did you kill me? "the eunuch shrieked.
The Monarch frowned.
Li Sun stepped forward, took out something, and stuffed it into the eunuch's mouth.
All the screams were immediately silenced.
After dragging him out of the courtyard, the old eunuch Li Sun said, "Little bastard, you've only been serving in His Majesty's study for a short while. How dare you steal from outside? You're courting death. You'll be flogged 30 times. The last flog will kill you."
"Yes!"
The four warriors replied.
Then, they pulled off the eunuch's pants.
The thick wooden staff smashed down fiercely.
"Ahh …"
The eunuch let out a miserable howl.
It was no longer excruciating pain.
It was the fear of annihilation.
A single flog broke his thigh bone.
Smack, smack, smack, smack …
Then, the two warriors took turns to smack him with their wooden staffs.
Shen Lang only took a glance at it before shifting his gaze away.
It was too cruel.
This wasn't a flogging at all, but the cruelest form of murder.
After the first strike broke the leg bone, it continued on to the calf, knee, thigh, and buttocks.
Every strike of the staff smashed the bones into pieces.
After a total of 29 strokes.
The lower half of the eunuch's body was flattened and stuck to the ground.
At this moment, his pain could no longer be described with words.
But he was still alive and conscious.
At this moment, he just wanted to die immediately. He didn't want to live.
The final blow.
"Pa!"
It directly hit the back of his head.
Instant death!
…
The conditions for Monarch Ning Yuanxian to choose eunuchs were simple.
Loyal and intelligent.
She had to be of one mind with him at all times.
She knew what could be said and what could not be said. What could be done, what could not be done.
This little eunuch was indeed capable. No one else could keep those rare orchids alive, but he was the only one who could.
That was why he stood out and served in the Monarch's study. He was considered a small leader in the Hall of Mercy.
He extorted money from the officials, but the Monarch turned a blind eye to it.
He stole things from the palace and sold them. That was intolerable.
And this little bastard even spread the news for the Crown Prince.
And today, this little bastard was completely unaware of the Monarch's intentions. He was still trying to sow discord and kill Shen Lang.
Can't you see that the Monarch is happy to see Shen Lang deal with the Su Family?
Even if Shen Lang used a conspiracy to burn down the Sacred Temple, the person who benefited the most was the king?
The war in The Southern Kingdom was in full swing, and the Sand Barbarians were constantly joining the fray.
The Qiang Kingdom took the opportunity to extort an astronomical amount of money and resources from the State of Yue. The Monarch did not want to pay, but if they really did not pay, King Qiang would be furious and take the opportunity to cause chaos.
The Qiang Kingdom's mission to burn down the Sacred Temple gave the Monarch an excuse not to pay.
Marquis Su Nan, this is your family's fault. You will pay for King Qiang's extortion. Your Su Family will pay for this for me.
As for the Sacred Temple, so be it.
What does it have to do with me, Ning Yuanxian? And it's not my ancestors that were burned.
This was the capital. Why would Shen Lang dare to do something as big as burning down the Sacred Temple?
It was because it was in line with the Monarch's interests.
It was just that he was too daring. Without the Monarch's consent, he had pulled him into a united front and joined forces to cut the Su Family's flesh and blood.
Otherwise, where would he have gotten the soft armor to protect himself when he whipped Shen Lang?
However, this little eunuch could not see through him and repeatedly provoked the Monarch.
Thus, he could only die so tragically.
It was just that the words he said before he died had caused Shen Lang to fall into a pit.
Shen Lang?
How dare you! You're a married man, yet you dare to take advantage of my daughter?
The Monarch's gaze was fixed on Shen Lang's palm.
Master Lang's hair stood on end. He felt a bit of danger.
Ning Yan said: "Father, Shen Lang did not touch me. He just patted my chest."
Shen Lang was speechless. Don't explain.
Following that, Princess Ning Yan seemed to have thought of something and said, "Oh right, Royal Father, Shen Lang cured my illness last night and I promised to repay him. He said that if he wants to become an official, it doesn't matter if he's at the seventh or eighth rank. But if he has power, he doesn't have to bear any responsibility, and he doesn't have to go to the yamen every day. In short, he has power but no obligations. "
Shen Lang's heart was full of tears.
I'll kill you, you big-breasted brainless idiot. If you don't know how to speak, then don't talk nonsense.
A teammate like this tigress was really useful.
But sometimes, it could really cause people to die.
The Monarch was also very helpless about giving birth to such a stupid daughter. He waved his hand and said: "You go out, go out!"
"Oh!" Ning Yan said: "Shen Lang, if there's anything, just shout from inside. I'll rush in immediately. Don't worry, there's nothing I can't do in the capital. "
Quickly go out, Big Bi. I'm about to die because of you.
… …
Shen Lang was about to open his mouth to admit his mistake.
"Don't open your mouth, don't explain …" The Monarch said: "If there's a next time, don't even think about keeping your hand."
"Yes." Shen Lang said.
The Monarch said: "Shen Lang, you're a smart person, a delicate person. It's not easy!"
Shen Lang wanted to hang his head down to his crotch.
This was already a very serious threat.
The Monarch was not afraid when he scolded people.
He even said, "Could it be that I can't kill you?" There's no need to be afraid.
But when he spoke calmly, you have to be afraid.
The meaning of this sentence was: I also cherish a delicate person like Shen Lang, but don't court death too much.
This was probably how Cao Cao felt when he saw Yang Xiu.
He loved his talent, but not his character.
After enduring for a few times, Cao Cao still killed Yang Xiu.
Of course, Shen Lang was much smarter than Yang Xiu. He would not really provoke the Monarch's bottom line.
Moreover, he constantly showed the Monarch that he was of great use.
As for Shen Lang taking advantage of Princess Ning Yan.
In the Monarch's view, Ning Yan was after all 24 years old and had already married. Moreover, she had declared herself a widow. Her reputation had long been ruined.
Just throw caution to the wind.
Even though he knew that Princess Ning Yan was very pure.
But stupid purity … let's not talk about it.
Of course, if Shen Lang really dared to sleep with Ning Yan, the Monarch would not tolerate it.
When that time comes, don't blame me for being too sharp.
… …
Then, Shen Lang and the Monarch faced each other without saying a word.
The Monarch suddenly thought of Su Nan. This person looked even better when he knelt, as if he had no bones at all. He could not wait to lie on the ground and lick the soles of his shoes at all times.
But this old fox and Ning Yuanxian played games again and again.
Moreover, several times, he had silently taken advantage of Ning Yuanxian.
This throne was not easy to sit on.
The Crown Prince and Ning Qi could not wait to take the throne. Could they control these old and cunning courtiers?
It would be good if these courtiers were honest people like Jin Zhuo.
And this Shen Lang in front of him, not to mention how obedient and humble he was.
But … he was also a little fox.
Very cunning.
"Do you know what happened in the court?" The Monarch had an inquiring tone.
This was the first time he had a positive interest in Shen Lang's talent.
"The Crown Prince and the Third Prince are both willing to be the knife for His Majesty and impeach Marquis Su Nan," Shen Lang said.
"Hmm." The Monarch was a little disappointed.
Shen Lang said, "But Marquis Su Nan is a cunning old fox. He will definitely stand up first and use the tactic of advancing by retreating to the extreme. He will take the initiative to admit all the crimes. He will admit the crimes that belong to him, and he will admit the crimes that do not belong to him. Moreover, he will beg for bones and take the initiative to resign."
The Monarch's eyes lit up slightly, and he sat down.
Shen Lang continued, "Su Nan seems to be boneless and has no backbone in front of the Monarch, but he is actually very decisive. He proposed to kill the Qiang Kingdom's envoys who burned down the temple. Not only that, but he is also willing to bear all the responsibility to appease the Qiang King. The Su Clan is willing to pay a huge price to appease the Qiang Kingdom, so that the Qiang King will not rebel, plunder, or cause trouble in the battlefield of the South Kingdom. "
The Monarch was already very surprised.
Shen Lang said, "But he probably has a condition. He wants me to go to the Qiang Kingdom and use the Qiang King to kill me!"
As the monarch continued to drink his tea, he closed his eyes slightly to hide the astonishment in his eyes.
This person's talent is indeed shocking.
He did not look at the entire court meeting, nor did he listen to a single word.
But there were no mistakes at all, as if he had seen everything with his own eyes.
This was not a guess, but an analysis.
Impressive!
The Monarch said, "Marquis Su Nan has made his condition. Are you willing to go?"
Shen Lang said, "I am willing to go to the Qiang Kingdom!"
The Monarch even felt that Shen Lang had been waiting for this for a long time.
In fact, even before the Holy Temple had been burned, he had already planned for this step and had already thought of this outcome.
The Monarch said, "Those envoys from the Qiang Kingdom who burned the Holy Temple will all be publicly executed to give the world an explanation. If you go to the Qiang Kingdom, you will have to bring these heads with you. "
Shen Lang said, "Your subject understands."
You shameless thing, you're calling yourself a subject just like that?
You're asking me for an official position!
I can't just go to the Qiang Kingdom with nothing. I must be an official, right?
The Monarch said, "Not only that, but the Qiang King must also write a letter of apology and build a Holy Temple within the Qiang Kingdom."
Huh?
There was such a condition?
That was as difficult as ascending to the heavens!
The people of the Qiang Kingdom worshipped the gods, and there was only the Snow Mountain Holy Temple within their borders.
The Snow Mountain Holy Temple was the highest mountain peak, which was the closest to the gods.
You want the Qiang King to build a Holy Temple within the Qiang Kingdom?
That was as difficult as ascending to the heavens!
Shen Lang thought for a long time, then nodded. "Fine!"
The Monarch was astonished.
You … you're going to agree?
This is clearly an impossible task.
There was only one outcome for anyone who brought a dozen Qiang heads to the Qiang Kingdom: death without a doubt.
And yet, Shen Lang had gone.
They would definitely be skinned alive and have their tendons pulled out. Then, they would be cooked alive.
Everyone knew that the Qiang King and the Su Clan were on very good terms.
Even so, he had still agreed.
The Monarch said, "Shen Lang, the affairs of the nation are not to be trifled with."
Shen Lang said, "Your subject is very serious, and I am willing to make a military pledge."
What military pledge?
If you don't succeed, you will be torn to shreds in the Qiang Kingdom. I won't even have a chance to kill you.
The Monarch said, "Tell me, why are you so eager to go to the Qiang Kingdom?"
Shen Lang said, "To kill the Su Clan!"
Again with this line.
If he wanted to kill the Su Clan, the Qiang Kingdom would definitely be involved.
Shen Lang said, "If we take into account the travel time, I will be able to complete this task within a month. Not only will I be able to appease the Qiang King's anger, but I will also be able to force him to write a confession and build a temple in the Qiang Kingdom! "
The Monarch found this even harder to believe. This was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
Shen Lang said, "But I have a small, small request."
The Monarch said, "Confer the title of Marquis of Xuanwu to your father-in-law, not Marquis of Furious Tide. Confer the title of Furious Tide City to the Kim Clan, right?"
Shen Lang hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is wise beyond measure!"
The Monarch said, "You really want to go?"
This was a narrow escape from death.
Shen Lang said, "For Your Majesty, for the State of Yue, I am willing to die a terrible death."
Bullsh * t! Believe you? Bullsh * t!
Shen Lang wasn't even willing to take the risk of dying three times out of seven times, let alone nine times out of ten.
This wasn't a matter of life and death.
Without absolute safety, without absolute certainty, Shen Lang wouldn't go at all.
The Monarch closed his eyes.
Shen Lang said, "I will write a letter to my father-in-law. I was the one who requested to go to the Qiang Kingdom, and His Majesty did not force me. Even if I die in the Qiang Kingdom, the Kim family will only hate the Su Clan. They will never … "
He couldn't say anything else.
Could you say that you would hate the Monarch?
Of course not!
The Monarch said indifferently, "Shen Lang, if you can really succeed in this matter, then I will give you a chance. There's no need to talk about conferring the title of Marquis of Xuanwu. When you return, I will definitely put you in an important position! "
It's a deal!
Then when I return to ask for an official position, you must remember today's promise, okay?
Shen Lang had no interest in becoming an official.
His only goal right now was to wipe out the entire Su Clan.
Therefore, when the time came, he would need an official position.
The Monarch nodded and waved his hand. "Go!"
Shen Lang bowed and left.
He should have knelt down, but he even took the opportunity to skip that.
The Monarch also pretended not to see it.
At this time, the first step of wiping out the Su Clan had officially been completed!
The second step would immediately begin!
The third step would also have to start planning.
Su Nan was an extremely powerful person.
He had the upper hand against the Monarch several times.
In terms of scheming, viciousness, details, and acting, he was even better than Zhang Chong.
In a direct confrontation, he could be said to be flawless.
However, there was one thing that he couldn't compare to Zhang Chong in — farsightedness!
Zhang Chong only cared about his own political ideals. He wasn't greedy or selfish, so he could see very far.
On the other hand, Marquis Su Nan was greedy and selfish, so his strategic vision couldn't compare to Zhang Chong's.
This wasn't determined by intelligence, but by his personality.
After walking out of the door, Shen Lang came back and licked his lips. "Your Majesty, can I ask a favor of you?"
The Monarch said, "Release Jin Mucong, right? I've already sent someone. "
Shen Lang said, "Can you leave this task to me? It would be best if you could give me an edict? "
The Monarch said, "You want me to give an edict for such a shameful matter? Li Sun, accompany Shen Lang. "
… …
"Eunuch Li, please wait for a moment. I'll go home and freshen up. After all, I'm in a mess."
Outside the house, Shen Lang smiled.
Li Sun sat in the sedan chair and said with a smile, "It's fine. I'll wait for you in this sedan chair."
Shen Lang returned home.
Sao Bing hadn't gone to sleep yet. She was still sitting on the chair in the living room, her head drooping.
Fortunately, the smokeless charcoal fire in the living room kept her warm, and the girl was covered with a goose down quilt. Otherwise, she would have frozen.
Shen Lang's heart ached.
It was almost noon, but this little girl had stayed up from last night until now.
Shen Lang was about to carry her to her room to sleep.
When the girl heard Shen Lang's footsteps, she woke up with a start.
"Son-in-law, you're back!"
Then, he welcomed them with joy.
At this moment, Shen Lang's heart softened.
He suddenly understood the girl's state of mind.
For others, there was still their family and career.
But for Xiao Bing, Shen Lang was her everything, even if she was just a concubine.
Her dream in life was to receive Shen Lang's love, give birth to a few children, and live a happy life.
"Why aren't you sleeping? Are you pregnant? You can't stay up late. "Shen Lang said.
Xiao Bing said, "I was about to serve you yesterday, but something happened and you left. I've been waiting for you to come back and show you what I can do. Son-in-law, let's go into the room. I'll serve you. I'll show you what I can do!"
Shen Lang was stunned!
Then, Xiao Bing went to wash up, brush her teeth, and drink the rose nectar to make her mouth fragrant.
Then, she pulled Shen Lang into the room with even more enthusiasm.
Shen Lang was speechless.
Oh my god!
There was no such thing as a wrong nickname in this world.
Bing 'er, you're so dedicated. You love what you do.
Girl, I believe you're skilled.
But I can't do it today.
Yesterday, I fought with others outside all night. I'm exhausted and have no energy left.
So let's forget about it today. The key is that I have something to do. I still have to go to the Wannian County to pick up the fat otaku and harm people.
Fifteen minutes later!
Shen Lang exclaimed.
Bing 'er, you're really talented.
Otherwise, I'll come again.
Let Li Sun, that old eunuch, wait a little longer.
Fat otaku, don't worry. Brother-in-law is coming to save you.
… …
In the Wannian County Jail!
Wang Qike was furious!
His rank was too low and he wasn't qualified to attend court. But he knew what had happened a long time ago and had submitted a memorial to the throne.
Damned Qiang people, you didn't burn the Holy Temple sooner or later.
Why did you have to burn it at this time?
What about Jin Mucong's case?
But soon, he received instructions.
Convict Jin Mucong as soon as possible.
The burning of the Holy Temple would be a hot topic for ten days at most.
People were forgetful. No matter how big the matter was, it would only be a hot topic for ten days or half a month.
Ten days later, the burning of the Holy Temple would cool down.
They would expose the fact that Jin Mucong raped an innocent woman.
At that time, everyone would continue to impeach the Kim family, and the officials would continue to besiege Xuanwu.
What?
The officials had no grudge against Jin Zhuo. Why would they besiege him?
Come on, he was going to be conferred the title of Marquis.
Wouldn't you be jealous when you see someone else being conferred the title of Marquis?
How many old Marquises were there in the entire State of Yue?
Two of them!
How could you, Jin Zhuo, be the third?
Sometimes, you have to do things that hurt others without benefiting yourself.
I feel good when I see others in trouble.
After receiving the new instructions, the Wannian County Magistrate Wang Qike was ecstatic.
Then, he quickly went to interrogate Jin Mucong.
He had to make an ironclad case in the shortest time possible.
Shen Lang had reversed black and white last night and had taken the initiative.
Then, he had to find a way to make Jin Mucong confess and sign.
If necessary, he could torture him!
Of course, the punishment couldn't leave any wounds, but it was very painful.
There were many punishments like this.
It was guaranteed to make you doubt life. An ordinary person's will couldn't withstand it.
But, it wouldn't leave any traces.
However, the Wannian County Magistrate Wang Qike was a little uneasy.
After all, this was the Crown Prince of Xuan Wu Mansion. Was he really going to torture him?
Had the struggle escalated to this point?
Of course!
Today, Shen Lang had trapped the Su Family and created a huge crisis for the Su Family out of thin air.
Of course, the Su Family would retaliate.
Shen Lang was too cunning, so he would retaliate on Jin Mucong.
Jin Mucong was fat and stupid. He didn't seem to have any skills and his willpower wasn't strong. As long as he was tortured a little, he wouldn't be able to bear it and would confess.
At noon.
Wang Qike remembered the taste of Yu Fangzhou's wife and his heart couldn't help itching.
So, he tried her cooking again.
It really tasted good.
After a full six minutes.
Sir Wang Qike felt like he was about to twitch.
This was a record that had never been broken before.
Miss Chen's charming eyes were like silk as she said, "Heavens? Sir, you're too amazing. It's like I'm really going to die. "
Then, Miss Chen said, "Sir, when will you let Nu Nu go home? And when will Jin Mucong be sentenced! "
Of course she didn't know that the situation in the capital had changed.
The ten thousand year county magistrate Wang Qike said, "Chen Niangzi, you've been in contact with Jin Mucong before. What kind of torture do you think will make him confess without leaving any scars?"
Miss Chen's eyes lit up and she excitedly said, "It's already spring and there are leeches in the fields. Go catch a bowl of leeches and feed several hundred leeches into Jin Mucong's mouth and stomach. I don't believe he won't confess."
The ten thousand year county magistrate trembled. This woman was actually this vicious?
"You're going to die."
Miss Chen said, "It won't. When Jin Mucong is in so much pain that he doesn't want to live, quickly feed him salt water and it will melt all the leeches. This kind of torture is the cruelest. Jin Mucong, that waste, will definitely confess. I've read it from a book, it will definitely work! "
The ten thousand year county magistrate Wang Qike said, "Alright, let's do it like this!"
At this moment, his confidant said from outside, "Sir Wang, this is bad. Shen Lang has brought his warriors to the government office and wants to take Jin Mucong away."
… … …
Outside the capital!
A two meter tall man with a heavy sword on his back was standing in front of Xuanwu's door.
The Big Fool was here!
This ….. This was the capital?
Where was Two Fool's home?
At this time, a beautiful figure riding a horse charged out.
The surrounding people all retreated.
Only the Big Fool was still standing there in a daze.
When the tiger princess Ning Yan saw this, she did not slow down and directly charged at the Big Fool.
"Big fool, a good dog doesn't know the way. Scram for me, otherwise I'll kill you!"
… …
