Chapter 066: Bao Xu, the god of mourning
When the sun is shining, the surrounding trees are full of green colors, making people look comfortable. The cool breeze www.biquge.info the pen, fun and pavilion, and the originally hot and humid weather is refreshing, which is a good time to travel.
Xiao Tang and Xiao Yi, Xiao An, and Xue Yong together with more than 30 township brave dart divisions escorted the dart team from Xiaojiaji, Zongcheng County, through Gaotang Prefecture into Jingdong Road, and then through Qizhou, Zizhou, Qingzhou can reach Mizhou.
"Hehe, the young master has worked hard all the way, and drink some water to relieve fatigue." Xiao An saw that Xiao Tang was driving a horse to the dart car he was riding, and he was busy smiling and stammering Xiao Tang and said.
Xiao Tang Yile said: "Xiao An, you are already the manager of my Xiao family's shop, and it is an important errand to set up a business in Banqiao Town, Mizhou. Since you are no longer my helper, you don't have to worry about these trivial matters. ”
Xiao An hurriedly shook his head like a rattle, and said loyally: "Xiao An can have today, isn't it thanks to the blessing of the young master?" Once was my Xiao An's young master, and this life is also my Xiao An's young master. ”
Xiao Yi also rode to Xiao Tang and Xiao An's side, he was wearing a green robe, his left glove was a roe deer skin gauntlet, and this time he also brought out a spear falcon with snow feathers and white feathers that had been trained. The spear falcon's frosty feathers, iron hook-like claws, piercing eyes with semen, and jet-black beak are majestic. Not only the Gyrfalcon, but also a few slender hounds were running happily beside Xiao Yizao's horse.
In the Daimyo's Mansion and Xiao Jiaji, in addition to this majestic spear falcon, Xiao Yi also raised seven or eight hunting birds such as sparrowhawks, peregrine falcons, magpie harriers, etc., but except for the white-feathered spear falcon and the three taels of the most majestic and swift, the rest were only domesticated for two or three seasons, and they still had to be released into the mountains and forests in early spring to allow them to reproduce.
Xiao Yi was numb when he heard what Xiao An said, and couldn't help but pouted and glanced at Xiao An. Seeing Xiao Yi's expression, Xiao An immediately scolded: "Look, you idiot!" If you have any grievances, just tell them! I didn't have a few words all day, so I wasted the opportunity to get the moon first near the water, and I didn't let that Nizi look at you. ”
Xiao Yi's face turned red, and he scolded in embarrassment: "What are you talking nonsense!?" Since we have known each other, of course I should take care of it more, so it seems that you are so unbearable? ”
Xiao An laughed when he heard this, and said, "That's a good feeling, since you don't mean that." So how about I give it a try? ”
Xiao Yi glared at him and said angrily: "You dare!" As soon as he was excited, the spear falcon on his shoulder suddenly fluttered its wings and screamed at Xiao An.
Xiao Tang heard some doorways, and hurriedly asked Xiao Yi, "What, which girl's house did you fall into?" He didn't tell me anything about it. ”
Xiao Yi and Xiao An's faces became a little strange when they heard this, and they heard Xiao An hehe say: "This is how much you have forgotten about your nobles, young master, do you still remember why you changed your sex in the first place?" ”
Only then did Xiao Tang think of the previous master of his current body, that is, the maid named Yingchun who had been lightly touched by the brocade mastiff in the past. Xiao Tang remembered that the maid was a Han man who fell to Xiao Jiaji because his brother killed someone in Liao, and he ordered Xiao Yi to give Yingchun a sum of silver taels to help her go to Zongcheng County to make a living as a female red, but too many things happened later, which made Xiao Tang forget that Xiao Yi actually had a secret affection for Yingchun.
Looking at Xiao Yi's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Xiao Tang realized that it was not that Yingchun who still hated him very much, so even if she fell in love with Xiao Yi, she couldn't tolerate that the man she was committed to still had a great relationship with the bully in the past. Thinking of this, Xiao Tang sighed and said to Xiao Yi: "Xiao Yi, is it that Yingchun can't tolerate me, so she can't accept you?" ”
Xiao Yi smiled and said, "The young master is too worried, I have also mentioned that it is the young master who intends to give her a free body. Although she couldn't accept it at first, after a long time, her resentful thoughts faded a lot. ”
Xiao Tang nodded and said, "That's good, when it comes to the marriage in front of you, it depends on whether your kid can grasp it." ”
Xiao Yi scratched his head with a smile when he heard this, and then said: "By the way, young master, she is no longer called the maid who welcomes the spring, but has changed back to her previous name Ma Hui." ”
At this time, I heard Xue Yong, who was on the dart car in front of me, turn around and shout: "Young master, XJ County is not far ahead." ”
Xiao Tang of XJ County shifted his attention and couldn't help laughing: "Xiao Yi, Master Xue Yong, have you ever remembered that we were framed by the nine-headed insect and wanted by the government, and we fled all the way here but couldn't enter the county." Now our convoy is swaggering and killing back! ”
Xiao Yi and Xue Yong laughed when they heard this, and in the evening, Xiao Tang and his party had come to a big inn in the county. Xiao Tang saw it and said, "I happened to be sleepy, so let's rest here today." ”
As soon as Xiao Tang, Xiao Yi, Xue Yong and the others entered the inn, the shopkeeper hurriedly came up and greeted: "Hey, guest officer, please come inside!" ”
Xiao An strode forward, raised his neck, and said arrogantly: "Little Er, we have more than 30 people, more than a dozen Taiping cars, and five or six horses, can you fit it in this store?" ”
"Look at what you said, this guest officer." The shopkeeper smiled: "Even if there are more than 30 people, our store will also do business, we are the largest inn in the county, if it is really other places, it is difficult to say." ”
Xiao Tang made a table with Xiao Yi, Xiao An, and Xue Yong, and the store's own guys helped the dart head lead the horse to the stable to feed the grass, and the Taiping car was also placed in the backyard. When Xiao Tang just ordered food, he saw a shopkeeper who smiled and sent the two yamen out of the inn, and the two heads were also very respectful to the shopkeeper, and when they came to the door of the inn, they also bowed heavily before leaving.
"I said Xiao Er, the relationship between your shopkeeper H County Ya seems to be good." Xiao Tang said to the little er.
The shopkeeper put the rag on his shoulder and said with a smile: "Of course, you don't know anything about this guest officer." Gaotang and Boping are rampant in gangsters, killing people and doing everything, and I heard that many people have been broken. Some time ago, a thief also ate the gall of a bear's heart and a leopard, and he actually invested in the store and came to us!
When the shopkeeper saw that the man's face was terrifying, he suspected that the thief had come to step on the plate and probe to rob my inn. Quietly sent Xiao to the government to summon the arrest, and took him while the thief was drunk, and later it was confirmed that the thief was the leader of the gang! My shopkeeper's report is meritorious, and the county yamen naturally welcomes my shopkeeper with a smile. ”
"Oh?" After hearing this, Xiao Tang asked again: "How did the yamen, the leader of the gangsters, judge?" ”
The shopkeeper seemed to shudder, and said: "It's really infiltrating, after the magistrate reported to the state capital, the Yin of the Gaotang Mansion issued an order and sentenced the thief to death!" ”
Xiao Tang frowned, this chopping was Ling Chi's execution, and the death row prisoner had to be tortured with nearly 3,600 knives before he died, which was definitely an extremely bloody and cruel death sentence.
Originally, the punishment was not listed as a death penalty in the early days of the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, but during the reign of Shenzong Xining and Yuanfeng, Ling Chi was officially listed as one of the death sentences, and there was a tendency to become more and more intense ("General Examination and Criminal System Examination": Ling Chi's law, before Zhaoling, although the fierce and murderous thieves, they did not try to use it lightly. At such a time, it is mainly used to deter bandits who have fallen into the grass and plundered, and it is not uncommon for the government to be sentenced to death after being taken by the government.
I don't know where the rogues were so unlucky, and they had to endure all the hardships and die tragically. Thinking of this, Xiao Tang casually asked the shopkeeper Xiao Er, "Then do you know the name of the rogue leader?" ”
How do you know that Xiao Tang's reply made Xiao Tang stunned: "If the guest officer doesn't ask, the name of the outlaw thief Kou is really unwilling to mention it...... Who in the county who killed a thousand knife thieves was so frightened that he lost his soul, his surname was Bao Mingxu, and he heard that the people in the green forest called him the god of mourning. ”
※※※※※※※※※※
Bao Xu's hands and feet were shackled at this time, and he was sitting on damp and gloomy death row with a disheveled hair and a depressed expression, munching on a cooked dog's leg. His slear, black hair fell down to cover most of his face, revealing only jackals with deep eye sockets and half of his high cheekbones.
It was his last severed head meal, with only a dog's leg and half a jar of muddy white wine. His naked upper body was covered with scars from the torture, his body was so thin that he could see every rib cage clearly, and his two thin arms, which were as thin as firewood sticks, seemed to be able to be broken by someone with a force.
The prison and a few small cells outside the wooden fence watched Bao Xu gobble up like monsters, this mourning god was too thin, and the prison and the small prison could almost go from Bao Xu's throat to the stomach on the slightly squirming bone skin, and saw a large piece of dog meat being ground a few times by the teeth, and the whole process of swallowing and slipping down until the stomach. In less than a moment, Bao Xu's belly could gradually bulge visually, and he looked like a hideous hungry ghost popping out of the six reincarnations.
The prison couldn't help but feel nauseous, and scolded fiercely: "Straight thief! This thief is really a hungry ghost reincarnated, and he eats and vomits his stomach! ”
Bao Xu ignored it, still gnawing on the dog's leg that didn't have much meat. Seeing that he was ignored by Bao Xu, his heart was even more angry. Through the iron grate, he spat heavily at Bao Xu with thick phlegm, and it was also clever that the yellow phlegm fell straight into the broken bowl still containing residual wine.
The prison haha laughed and said: "It's also thanks to the blessing of your thief, Lao Tzu has never seen the scene of Ling Chi alive." Kill a thousand knives and kill a thousand knives, haha, you short-lived ghost has responded to this sentence. ”
Bao Xu slowly raised his head at this time, and bared his teeth at the prison. The heart of the prison suddenly beat wildly for no reason, although the gloomy Bao Xu was imprisoned in the prison, but his expression was like an eighteen-layer hell, ready to be tortured by the blood of the prison!
"Giggles..... Bao Xu's throat let out a poignant and strange laugh again, and the scalp of the prison and a few small cells was numb when he heard it!!
