Chapter 100: Death

"The mother not only has to give an explanation to her son, but also to the court. What is the crime of privately storing the dead, mother, you know, Dou Ying is your nephew, and he is my cousin. If a relative dares to do this, what is the difference between that and the nephews of the Lu family back then......"

"Enough, you mean that for the mother, you have to learn that Lu Hou's dictatorship. You don't want to think about how your father, Emperor Wen, and you got into this position back then. For your father and son to sit on the throne of the emperor, how much money did the Dou family spend and how many people died. You have forgotten how your uncle died, and now you say such things.

Even if he Dou Ying has a thousand mistakes, ten thousand mistakes. At the beginning, your uncle's enthusiasm in front of Weiyang Palace couldn't forgive his sins? To be a man, you have to drink water and think about the source, after a hero like Dou Ying. What about your extrajudicial kindness, does this obliterate your sanctity?

Those Confucian scholars around you, what Yuangu and the like tell you all day long that you must establish the prestige of the Son of Heaven. Are you going to use the blood of the Dou family to erect your majesty? If the Liu family continues to kill like this, how many people in the Dou family can withstand your killing like this. The old man's mother's family is also surnamed Dou, and the old body also has the blood of the Dou family. Wouldn't it be clean for you to kill even the old body with a single sword? ”

The more the Queen Mother spoke, the more excited she became, and she was already shaking her head and trembling, and her mouth and eyes began to be crooked.

"Mother, mother, don't be angry. The son didn't mean that, and the son just fainted for a while. Please also ask your mother to calm her anger, you can handle Wei Qihou's affairs, but don't be angry.

Someone, oops...... Doctor Chuan Tai, hurry up. ”

Liu Qi squatted down and personally combed the queen mother's back, while calling someone to pass the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat the queen mother.

"Emperor. You remember the country, the country. This country is home, and you should treat your family members openly, and don't kill them all. This butcher's knife is raised, and it won't be so easy for you to put it down......"

"Mother's ......"

Liu Rong was lying on a large bed, his hands and feet stretched out in a large shape. He had a cloth bag full of dirt on his body, and a man next to him was struggling to drag another cloth bag in.

"I said the old five, the helper is too fucking heavy. I said, this person's body is so weak, and a bag of soil is enough. Why bother getting another bag. ”

The thin and tall man said with some dissatisfaction.

"You know what, this kid was named to be killed. It's not called a scar on the body, and it can't be detected by a pretend. If you don't press it with a dirt bag, how can it be neat. Hurry up, hurry up. Only half a day was given. ”

The man named Lao Wu stood up to help the tall and thin man. Dragged into the sack, the two of them leisurely got up and pressed the dirt bag on Liu Rong's body. The two bags of soil were one hundred and fifty or sixty catties, which made Liu Rong roll his eyes. Helplessly, the mouth was stuffed with hemp cores, and there was a cloth bag outside, so I couldn't say a word at all. I can only feel that there is less air intake and less air out.

This practice of pressing oneself with a cloth bag filled with dirt has a nickname called "oni pressing". It is a sharp weapon in the cell to kill a prisoner. Just place the cloth bag on the person's chest. It will become more and more difficult for the person to breathe. Every breath is tough. Eventually, the lungs were pressed to the fullest. Let people die of lack of oxygen.

The most amazing thing is that the people killed in this way do not have any scars on their bodies. Although this method is an open secret, you can do it no matter how skilled you are. I couldn't find the scars, so I could only pinch my nose and recognize them.

Liu Rong has been pampered since he was a child, and his lung capacity is not as good as those guys who are physically strong. It's only been half an hour, and I'm already rolling my eyes. There is even more breath in the mouth and nose, and after seeing it for a while, he will travel west.

"Old Five, you straight thief. I haven't done it yet, and the adults are in a hurry. If you offend your lords, I don't have a good life, don't fucking think about it. ”

A captain with a big waist walked in at the door, and opened his mouth to scold the old five.

"Captain, it's fine."

Lao Wu was in a hurry, gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, jumped up with his feet, and fell freely, and sat down on the cloth bag ruthlessly.

"Hmm......"

Liu Rong's eyes were as round as a dead fish, and the stalks on his neck were up, and the blood vessels on his neck burst out. Then he drooped down heavily, and his body trembled and he didn't move.

The tall and thin man was about to pick up the cloth towel that covered Liu Rong's mouth, but was opened by Lao Wu's hand.

"Do you understand, it's easy to ease up at this time. What should I do if I turn around and live, hold him for a while. When you get back to adulthood, it's not too late to take it off. ”

"Old Five, how long the fuck are you going to do."

The lieutenant didn't enter the house, but stood outside the door to urge.

"Okay, okay, Captain Wu, look at it. It's already neat inside, and people can't hold it for another half an hour. ”

Lao Wu sat up from the cloth bag and slapped the dirt on his buttocks. He walked towards the lieutenant outside the door. The dazzling sunlight shone in from outside the door, and because it was backlit, the fifth could only see the outline of the captain, but could not see the appearance of the captain.

"Good, good job. My lord wants me to reward you well. ”

"Xie Da ......"

Lao Wu's eyes spit out the same as Liu Rong just now, and there was an extra knife mark on his throat. Bright red blood was spurting out along the knife marks, unusually gorgeous in the sunlight.

"Hey, you don't have to be so polite. Look at you, what has become of you? Get up. ”

The captain's voice came from outside the door.

The tall and thin man had just moved the two cloth bags away, and when he heard the captain say this, he walked out of the room curiously to see what was going on. Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped out of the room, someone covered his mouth from behind. A sharp dagger stabbed down his ribs and diagonally upward.

In the last moments before he died, the thin man saw the fifth child who was being dragged away. On the road that was dragged across, there was a shocking bloodstain.

"Hurry up and clean up, your lord is coming."

Liu Rong returned to the room where he was being held, but he went out vertically and came back horizontally. The room had been cleaned spotlessly, and the traces of bun meat filling on the walls were gone. The planks nailed to the windows were also removed, and the windows covered with bright paper were opened. The sweltering wind of Chang'an shone in with the strong sunlight at the same time.

Zhi Du walked into the room and looked at Liu Rong, who was lying flat on the ground. A pair of round eyes stared, as if there was a lot of unwillingness before death. Zhi Du stretched out his hand and stroked Liu Rong's eyes heavily, but as soon as his hand left his eyes, he opened again.

"King Linjiang, you really don't blink your eyes. You don't blame Zhi Du for being ruthless, in fact, encroaching on the land of the ancestral temple is not a big deal. But you have another sin, and that is that you have been a prince.

You have Wei Qihou and your predecessor Da Honglu running for you. You still have a group of courtiers who serve you, and that's why you have to die here. Your preservation is not conducive to the current crown prince ascending the throne, so you should close your eyes. When you arrive in the underworld, you will know that there are many people who have died unjustly. There are many people who are more wronged than you, and the so-called no one is unjust, and this is what it means to say that all sentient beings are evil. ”

Zhi Du looked at Liu Rong, who was staring at him, as if he was both comforting and talking to himself.

Maybe he understood Zhidu's words, or maybe he figured out the reason why he had to die. Maybe it was because of something else, Liu Qi's eldest son, King Linjiang of Dahan, finally closed his eyes slowly.

Liu Rong's death shocked the court. All the courtiers were discussing in private, but none of them came out to question how Liu Rong died.

Dou Ying was summoned into Changle Palace by the Queen Mother, and I heard that she was carried out. Since then, he has returned to Nanshan and has not been able to go out, even his old friend Doufu has not been seen. At this time, the people who wanted the former crown prince to stand up for Liu Rong were extremely disappointed. It seems that Liu Rong can only die quietly like this, because he has no heirs, so Linjiang State was annexed to the imperial court and became a county of the Han Dynasty.

However, Liu Rong's death still caused waves, because of a person's unhappiness.

"Pop" a clay bowl filled with decoction was thrown to the ground.

"Linjiang Wangxue? Isn't he in the Imperial Authority? Why did you die? ”

The Queen Mother threw the soup bowl in her hand to the ground, and Aunt Ying couldn't prevent a cut on her calf by a shard. Blood poured out, but she didn't dare to cry out in pain.

"Back to the Queen Mother, it was yesterday during the day. Yesterday you were not in good health, and your majesty did not let the slave and maid report it. ”

Aunt Ying's voice trembled a little, she had served the Queen Mother for so many years, and she had never seen the Queen Mother lose her temper so much. The little palace maid who served next to her hurriedly cleaned up the broken pottery shards. So as not to prick the feet of the Queen Mother, if that is the case, it will be difficult to say their lives.

"Okay, you guys are hiding it from me, a blind old woman. I want you to be of any use. ”

The queen mother's slap was rounded and pumped in the direction of Aunt Ying, but because she was blind, she was not as tall as Aunt Ying. The slap slapped heavily on Aunt Ying's shoulder.

Aunt Ying was so frightened that she immediately knelt down, and her knees were impartial on a pottery shard. Ying Gu gritted her teeth and slapped herself one by one.

"The Queen Mother's slave knows that she is wrong, but yesterday the Queen Mother's body was really ...... The slave maid is also for the sake of the queen mother's body. ”

"Get out, the old body is going to Weiyang Palace. Hurry up and prepare a car for the old body. ”

The Queen Mother had a cold face, and two cloudy tears flowed from her godless eyes.

With the support of the two little palace maids, Aunt Ying stood up with difficulty. Beckoning the palace attendants to prepare for the car, the Queen Mother is going to Weiyang Palace.

At the beginning of July in Chang'an, the sky seemed to be on fire, and the Queen Mother's heart seemed to be burning. Along the way, the carriage was constantly urged to speed up.

Liu Qiduan sat in the Xuan room, and several candle mountains under Dan Qiao were burning. The steamer inside the hall is as hot as a steamer, and today there are no courtiers or magnates. Some are only Liu Qi's mother and son, Liu Qi has succeeded to the throne for ten years, and this is the first time to talk to his mother in the Xuan room.

He had been thinking about this conversation for a long, long time. (To be continued......)
