Pang Xiao's arms were held by two imperial bodyguards, one on the left and one on the right. In fact, in terms of martial arts, he could easily get rid of the restraint. But at this time, although he shouted "I don't accept", he didn't struggle at all.
Seeing him like this, the imperial bodyguards couldn't help but sigh. Prince Zhongshun was really loyal to Your Majesty. They knew that with their own weight, they would not be able to last more than two rounds in front of the prince, but the prince was willing to be restrained by them. It could only be said that although he did not accept the punishment given by the Emperor, he did not have the intention to disobey.
For the sake of the treasure, His Majesty had gone crazy.
While everyone was sighing in their hearts, the eunuchs had already moved a stool over. The imperial bodyguards pushed Pang Xiao to lie down and pressed his legs down.
Pang Xiao still didn't struggle. He just raised his head and said loudly, "Your Majesty falsely accused a loyal subject. For the treasure, he even disregarded his brotherhood. This subject was loyal to the country and risked his life. Your Majesty listened to the slanderous words of a lowly person and beat this subject without any evidence. This subject didn't know about the treasure at all. Even if Your Majesty beat this subject to death today, this subject wouldn't be able to say where the treasure is hidden!"
Pang Xiao shouted loudly. It seemed that he was incoherent because of anger.
But the meaning of these words was very clear.
In order to find the treasure, Your Majesty listened to someone's slanderous words and believed that it was Prince Zhongshun who hid the treasure. Now, he didn't even care about the brotherhood and Prince Zhongshun's numerous meritorious deeds. He actually wanted to beat him in public!
Wang Ye was pressed down and beaten with a board. This kind of humiliation was simply unheard of!
Pang Xiao's angry roar spread far and wide. Even the guards standing guard outside the yamen and the occasional passerby could hear it clearly.
Li Qitian angrily rebuked, "Why haven't you shut his mouth yet!"
The imperial bodyguards didn't dare to disobey and could only use a clean handkerchief to stuff Pang Xiao's mouth.
The eunuchs who carried out the punishment brought the board and stood on the left and right. They looked at Your Majesty with weak hands and feet.
"Beat him! Beat him hard! "Li Qitian roared.
"As Your Majesty commands." The eunuchs didn't dare to be negligent. They gritted their teeth and raised the board.
Then there was the sound of the board cracking.
The eunuchs didn't dare to kill Wang Ye's life. and the board hit on Pang Xiao's buttocks. Soon, blood's blood burst out on Pang Xiao't silver outer's robe. It Of Pang Xiao of Pang Xiao's. It looked really of Pang Xiao's's's,'s,'s,'s, silver robe.... Of Panpang of Of ''s of Zhao Of of Of' ''s's' ''s's's
Pan' ''s Pan' s's Ye' 'of Of's's.......
This Wang Ye, who shed his blood for the establishment of Da Zhou's dynasty, who destroyed Northern Ji and pacified Dayan, the God of War, who made those who opposed Da Zhou tremble at the thought of him, was actually being beaten for a groundless crime …
This made everyone's hearts turn cold. It also made everyone see Your Majesty's coldness. Even if they had been loyal to Your Majesty for many years and were Your Majesty's sworn brothers, they would still be beaten when it came to matters of personal interest. What about them?
Li Qitian looked down at Pang Xiao's body with the board. He saw that his outer robe was stained with blood. He felt unprecedentedly refreshed.
What about the Ziwei Emperor Star that Tian Jizi calculated? Didn't he still have to bow down to him? Didn't he still have the power to decide his life and death with just one word?
So what if he was loved and respected by the people and respected by the soldiers? Wasn't he still able to hold him down and beat him with just one word? If he wanted him to live, he would live. If he wanted him to die, he could take his head with just one word!
He was the true Son of Heaven! So what if those people who misled the public with their lies made up and sent out random calculations?!
Li Qitian's anger was replaced by pride. At this moment, he felt refreshed. He had never felt so carefree in recent years. He couldn't help but think that if he had known that beating Pang Xiao with the board could relieve the depression in his heart, he would have beaten him up long ago!
The sound of the board hitting his buttocks stopped for a moment.
Pang Xiao lay on the bench, his head drooping weakly. His long hair was scattered on the ground, and his arms were hanging down. He had already lost feeling in them. The large bloodstains on his buttocks were really glaring!
His situation was so miserable that it made the hearts of the bodyguards on the side ache. The God of War, who made the enemies tremble in fear on the battlefield, actually fell into such a situation.
Li Qitian walked up to Pang Xiao coldly. He crossed his arms and looked at Pang Xiao's weak appearance. "Do you know what you did wrong?"
Pang Xiao hung his head and didn't respond.
Li Qitian didn't think that Pang Xiao would be knocked unconscious by 20 boards. In the past, on the battlefield, he could still break the arrows and continue to fight after being hit by two arrows. Now, it was only 20 boards. How serious would it be?
"Pang Zhixi!" Li Qitian raised his voice.
But Pang Xiao still didn't move.
The Imperial Bodyguard on the side hastily squatted down and lifted Pang Xiao's drooping head up. He removed the handkerchief from Pang Xiao's mouth. Only then did he realize that Pang Xiao's forehead was covered with sweat, and the handkerchief was stained with blood.
"Your Majesty, Wang Ye has fainted."
Li Qitian was suspicious. He lowered his head and lifted Pang Xiao's face to check.
The bodyguards on the side frowned when they saw his rough movements.
"He really fainted?" Li Qitian frowned doubtfully. Then he said in a low voice, "Ask the imperial physician to treat him. Carry him out. "
"Yes."
The bodyguards hurriedly carried Pang Xiao out with a stool.
The imperial bodyguards had mixed feelings when they saw Wang Ye being carried out like this. His blood-stained robe was really dazzling.
Tang Xiu and other Jinghu Wei, who came back with Pang Xiao, were blocked outside the door. When they saw Pang Xiao being carried out, they all rushed forward and cried with tears in their eyes, "Wang Ye, Wang Ye, wake up." The scene was so miserable that it made people's noses ache.
Li Qitian felt disappointed. He didn't get to ask about the whereabouts of the treasure, but Pang Xiao provoked him so much that he couldn't hold back his anger and gave him a beating. However, it was also a good thing to have the opportunity to control Pang Xiao by his side.
Sitting behind the desk, Li Qitian clasped his hands and gradually calmed down.
Lu Heng and Pang Xiao, which one of them was telling the truth?
Was the treasure hidden, or was it still mixed in with the other stones?
Li Qitian had already ordered his trusted subordinates to track down the stones in the other nine directions. However, the mountain was high and the road was long. He couldn't get the information immediately. He was really anxious! Seeing that there was finally a trace of the treasure that he couldn't find, but the fat meat in front of him was lost, he was anxious and angry.
While Li Qitian was frowning and thinking, the news that Prince Zhongshun was beaten for no reason had already spread.
For a time, the city was in a state of panic.
First, Huichuan County was surrounded by soldiers and horses. Then, the county magistrate was put under house arrest. Then, Wang Ye was escorted into the city and beaten in the blink of an eye.
Your Majesty is here to make a big move. What does he want to do?
The line to buy grain was four rows long and snaked out for two streets.
"The price of grain has risen again today. Is Your Majesty going to do something about it? Why is a loyal official like Prince Zhongshun beaten? "A man with a burlap sack muttered in a low voice.
