Qi Xiaobai thought that dealing with Liu Ruoqing's matter would only be a matter of a short time, but he didn't expect that it would be noon after the discussion, and he hadn't helped Liu Ruoqing complete his rehabilitation, and he had to retry it.

At noon, when Qi Xiaobai was about to retire from the court, a minister standing in the back row came out: "Duke, a place under the jurisdiction of the minister, found a strange thing, I specially brought it and dedicated it to the duke!" ”

When Qi Xiaobai heard it, he was also a little interested and said, "What is it?" ”

"A singing dog!" The official said.

Qi Xiaobai was a little curious when he heard it, and then looked at the official: "Then pull it up and show it to all the ministers!" ”

After a while, a creature covered in hair and with a face somewhat similar to a human crawled in, and the minister said, "Don't give the prince two tunes yet!" ”

After the minister finished speaking, the creature hummed a country song of Qi State, and Qi Xiaobai sat in his position and was stunned: "Can a dog still understand human speech?" Can you also sing human songs? ”

Qi Xiaobai walked down with curiosity, stared at the creature carefully for a while, stroked the creature's hair, and then plucked his hair: "Is it the hair that grows?" Qi Xiaobai thought it was dressed up by a person, and the dog hair was glued, but what he didn't expect was that this hair was really grown by the creature itself.

After listening to the song, all the ministers felt that the creature was very interesting, and talked to each other about this strange thing.

Qi Xiaobai looked at Wei Dexian: "Do you think this is a person or a dog?" ”

Wei Dexian also took a closer look at the creature, and then replied: "Gong, I don't think it's a dog, it's not a human, and the minister doesn't know what it is. ”

"Duke Huan, this is not a person or a dog, but a naturally formed strange thing, this strange thing is willing to be offered to the public for public entertainment," the minister said to Qi Xiaobai.

Qi Xiaobai muttered in his heart that maybe it was a strange thing in this world, but as soon as Qi Xiaobai thought so, Zhang Tianshang behind him suddenly walked out, looked at the creature and said, "Gong, this is a person, a person who has been harvested and cut!" ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard it, and when this official heard it, he was shocked and looked at Zhang Tianshang: "Lord Shangqing, you can't talk nonsense, this is a naturally formed strange creature!" ”

Qi Xiaobai looked at Zhang Tianshang and asked, "What is harvesting and cutting?" ”

"Huan Gong, the so-called harvesting and cutting is to turn an intact person into a cripple, or into a monster, and the dog in front of him is actually formed by harvesting and cutting!" Zhang Tianshang said to Qi Xiaobai.

Qi Xiaobai nodded, he still believed in this heavenly word in his heart, because the creature in front of him was too human-like.

"Your Majesty's harvesting and cutting is against human morality, and it is a major crime in the laws of my Qi country, even if it is committed by nobles, it will be punished by death!" Zhang Tianshang said to Qi Xiaobai.

"Shangqing, don't slander me......" The official was also scared, this was what he found on the side of the road, when there were two people leading this creature to perform on the side of the road, he looked very interesting, so he took it back to the mansion, thinking that he could get some rewards for offering it to Qi Xiaobai.

At that time, he didn't think much about it, and felt that it might really be a strange thing, but after listening to Zhang Tianshang's words just now, he also felt that the creature in front of him might really be a person who had been harvested and tortured.

It's just that he can't admit it, after all, it is against human ethics and a serious crime, even if a nobleman commits this kind of crime, he will be punished with capital punishment, and he is afraid that he will be charged with such a crime.

Qi Xiaobai looked at the official and asked, "Where did you get this creature?" Or did you do it yourself? ”

The official hurriedly explained everything, and Qi Xiaobai nodded: "So where are those two people?" ”

"Outside the palace!" The minister replied.

Qi Xiaobai nodded: "That's good, just bring these two people in and ask!" ”

After a while, two people came in under the escort of the soldiers, and Qi Xiaobai asked, "How did you get this strange thing?" ”

"We found it in the mountains, and we caught it when we looked at this thing!" One replied.

And Zhang Tianshang on the side roared: "Bold, seeing the duke, he is still talking such nonsense, someone came to drag these two people out and behead them!" ”

The two of them were stunned and stunned, and then they saw two soldiers come forward, ready to pull these two people out and cut them, and Qi Xiaobai also waved his hand, meaning to pull them out and cut them.

"Don't kill us, we'll tell the truth......" When this person saw that he was going to cut them, they hurriedly shouted, Qi Xiaobai waved his hand again: "Let them go, let them talk!" ”

"This is a three-year-old boy kidnapped by us in a village in the northern part of Lubei, we first used medicine to destroy the skin on his body, then sewed the dog skin and dog hair on him, and then gave him our special medicine, so that the dog skin and dog hair completely blended together!" The man preached to Xiaobai.

When Qi Xiaobai heard this, he was shocked that he treated a three-year-old child so cruelly......

When the official heard this, he immediately roared angrily: "You actually treat a young child like this, and is there any humanity?" Is there still a conscience? Of course, this official was angry, not because these two people had done such a big evil thing, and he hated it and scolded him, but because the foreign object he brought was indeed a thing that was harvested and cut, although he did not do it, but he would definitely be implicated in it.

"Male, they have confessed to harvesting and cutting!" Zhang Tianshang said to Qi Xiaobai.

"What should I do with it according to the laws of Qi State?" Qi Xiaobai asked.

"According to the law of the Qi State, the nobles who collect and cut their lives need to be punished with a fine of 100,000 silver, and if they are civilians, they will be punished with 3,600 knives and their family property will be confiscated!" Zhang Tianshang said to Qi Xiaobai.

Qi Xiaobai nodded after hearing this: "Then let's deal with it in accordance with the laws of Qi State!" ”

"Adults spare their lives, little ones don't dare anymore!" The two men cried out, but no one paid attention to them, so they were dragged out by the soldiers, waiting for their 3,600 knives.

"Take this toddler out too, take it well!" Qi Xiaobai waved his hand and said.

Then Qi Xiaobai looked at the minister: "This kind of thing happened in your place, this is your poor governance!" ”

"The minister is willing to accept the punishment!" The minister knelt on the ground and said.

"Then let's get rid of the army!" Qi Xiaobai said lightly, and the minister fell to the ground limply, if it was just a dismissal, it would be okay to say, but the confiscation of the army means that this is killing him in disguise.

He is already in his forties this year, and he is arranged to serve on the border to serve as an army, if there is a war, how can a forty-year-old man like him survive the battlefield?

"The public didn't treat you as an accomplice, it's already very merciful, aren't you grateful?" Zhang Tianshang on the side snorted at the official.

"Gong Xie, don't kill!"
