You Qi was urgently called back from the outer room by his henchmen.

Since Zhang Juzheng ascended to the position of the first assistant, while monopolizing the power, he has gradually not been as strict with himself as before, and there are many concubines around him. Compared with the bewitching and charming service of the Hu family, the Luo family, who was born in a good family, is gentle and lovely, and most importantly, there are two clever officials who have accepted Luo's sister and niece as concubines, and they have a relationship with him such as a brother-in-law.

But when he returned to Zhang's mansion in a panic, he was faced with Zhang Juzheng's thunderous anger. And what he didn't expect was that it was no one else who ran to Zhang Juzheng to complain, but Xu Jue! Although it didn't seem to be the thing he was most worried about, but that he had taken a concubine in private, and even had a personal relationship with the Beijing official, he only looked at the master's face full of anger, and knew that it would be difficult for him to escape a beating in this matter alone. What's more, Xu Jue obviously accepted such a generous gift from him, but he chose to denounce it on today's Zhang Juzheng's rest day, is that Xu Jue's own downfall, or is it more Feng Bao's instructions?

Therefore, when Zhang Jingxiu and the brothers were called, and brought Wang Fulin, a guest he didn't expect, although You Qi felt humiliated in his heart, he could only grit his teeth. It's just that when the whole person was pressed on a wide spring bench and his hands and feet were all tied, he still had a trace of deep fear.

Not long ago, he had just seen the scene of Feng Bangning screaming in pain under the torture rod, why was it his turn so soon? Could it be retribution...... Still is. Feng Bao's revenge after noticing the clues? If it's the latter. After this fight. Will there be more terrible revenge? Just then, he heard a low voice.

"Master, how much to fight?"

"Don't command, don't stop!"

Hearing these simple seven words, You Qi was simply frightened. Although he knew that Zhang Juzheng, as the first assistant of the current dynasty, would never make a fuss to punish his subordinates and finally cause such a thing as a human life, but. I don't know how difficult it is to have a family law, but you can imagine it. He struggled to raise his head and looked at Xu Jue with extremely resentful eyes, but he noticed that Xu Jue's eyes seemed to show a trace of apology and pity, and he was shocked. Before he could say anything, someone stuffed a roll of cloth into his mouth. Obviously, unlike Feng Bao, who scolded his nephew for killing chickens and monkeys, this time someone didn't want him to speak!

Wang Fulin is just a guest, and Zhang Jingxiu, who is a son, doesn't know the cause and effect, and of course no one has come to explain this to him. However, the conflict between Ban Yao Kuang, the head of Zhang's mansion, and Feng Bao's nephew, Feng Bangning, spread widely. Feng Bao personally supervised and beat Feng Bangning with forty boards, and Yao Kuang also suffered forty family laws. But he knew. As for whether You Qi is a ghost among them, of course he knows better.

Therefore, when he saw that You Qi was actually stripped of his pants and tied up in public, the two family members pressed one on their shoulders and one on their legs, and the other two were waiting on both sides with bamboo sticks, he knew that the trap he had laid for You Qi step by step had worked. He anticipated the current situation and was happy to see it happen.

If You Qi himself is a peaceful and self-guarded person, then he will definitely not step into this trap, but unfortunately, this is a guy who jumps up and down and takes care of things and power, otherwise how could he have dared to join forces with Meng Fang, the Nanjing garrison eunuch, without Zhang Juzheng's orders, and try to make such a big deal in Nanzhili Township? And Zhang Juzheng kept him to see it, but he was afraid that he wanted to publicize this scene through his mouth, as for Xu Jue to watch it...... I'm afraid it's because of the beating that You Qi is about to take today, and it has nothing to do with Xu Jue or Feng Bao behind Xu Jue!

Wang Fulin has been a human being for several years, and he has seen the scene of the county government pulling people down to play the board more than once or twice, and he has already gone from being terrified at the beginning to becoming commonplace now. Therefore, seeing the two family members of the Zhang family who were in charge of the family law waving bamboo sticks left and right, every time they fell, there was a red mark on the light cheek, but he still had time to observe the expressions of others with the corner of his eye. I saw that the faces of the Zhang Jingxiu brothers were tense, and even with every painful moan, they would tremble or tremble slightly, and Xu Jue was no better, and the appearance of holding his thighs was very funny.

And Zhang Juzheng pursed his lips, frowned slightly, his face was no longer as angry as when he first saw it, but it seemed to hide an emotion that he couldn't fathom. He didn't dare to look at this unquestionable Shoufu of Qiangang's arbitrariness, so he only glanced at it and withdrew his gaze, but went to see You Qi again. With just one glance, he found that he didn't know when, You Qi struggled to raise his head and was staring at him, his eyes full of resentment. He didn't believe that he just took back all his tentacles after teasing, Jinyiwei and Dongchang got nothing, You Qi could detect any clues, and simply looked directly at each other without dodging.

Sensing Wang Fulin's calm and fearless eyes, You Qi's tense nerves were immediately dispersed by the painful flogging of the memory, and he no longer had the strength to maintain his posture with his head held high. If it weren't for the fact that his hands and feet were all tied to the heavy spring stool, and someone pressed his shoulders and legs, he couldn't have known how he would have struggled in pain. He remembered the forty rods that Feng Bangning received, and remembered that when he was honored as a guest in some official offices, he saw some bitter masters who were dragged over because of his words...... Things that he didn't think of in his life suddenly appeared in his memory.

Over the years, he has relied on Zhang Juzheng's momentum to run rampant, and even went to the government to say favors, whether it is Shuntianfu or Daxing Wanping County, or even those prefectures and counties that passed on the way to Jiangling Mansion, because of his intervention, in the end, there are not a few cases that are completely reversed by right and wrong. At that time, he was dismissive of the suffering of others, but now, as if it were karma, he has tasted the suffering.

Because Zhang Juzheng ordered that no orders should be stopped, no one on the side counted, and bystanders such as Wang Fulin had to count silently in their hearts. Maybe it's because the family law is not as good as the torture rod of Jinyiwei and Dongchang. Maybe You Qi has thicker skin than Feng Bangning. After more than fifty strokes. This was the once hot general manager of the Zhang Mansion, and this was the first time he fainted.

At this time, Zhang Juzheng ordered the long squad that had taken Zhang Jingxiu's brothers and Wang Fulin and others to go out and gather all the servants in the outer courtyard. The Zhang Mansion in this big Shamao Hutong was given by the Wanli Emperor after he became the first assistant, and before that, he lived in the outer city, so many of the servants have only been in the palace for five years. When they gathered, they saw that You Qi, the chief manager who couldn't talk at all in the past, was lying on the spring bench. was beaten so much that his ass blossomed, and suddenly many people secretly gasped, and some of the timid ones turned pale with fright.

"You Qi is good at being a blessing, making friends with officials, and privately accepting the outer room, violating the family law, and he will be beaten here today to set an example. From now on, if anyone dares to commit a crime, it will all end up like this! ”

After coldly putting down these words. Zhang Juzheng shouted in a deep voice: "Wake up!" ”

A bowl of cold water was poured on his head, and You Qi, who woke up slowly, saw clearly that there were many more servants in all directions. suddenly realized that the master had made it clear that he wanted to make an example of him today. Sure enough, the next moment, he only felt that there was another pain on his buttocks that was already not his own and more violent than before, and after two or three strokes, he suddenly realized that this bamboo stick seemed to have been soaked in salt water again.

In the eyes of outsiders, this time it was only five or six strokes, and You Qi could not find a piece of good meat on his already scarred bare cheeks, and the bamboo stick had gradually concentrated on his thighs, and after a while, it had gone from red and swollen to bruised, and finally the skin was open again.

Discounted a thin bamboo stick, You Qi fainted four times, until he was completely dying, and Zhang Juzheng made people stop. And Wang Fulin, who was secretly silently counting, had already counted to ninety-seven, and the danger was more than 100. Rao is no better than the first brother of the Zhang family, who has never seen such a cruel scene, and he can't help but be secretly awe-inspiring.

Since the second year of Longqing, the court rod has temporarily disappeared, but the government has flogging, and it is impossible for Dongchang and Jinyiwei to break this kind of corporal punishment when interrogating prisoners, and as for the current powerful family law, it is even more impossible to prohibit it. Thinking about the fact that Zhang Juzheng's love turmoil is really fermenting at that time, the court staff skills of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, which have been dusty for many years, may re-enter people's memories again.

"Send You Qi to the hospital and pay enough for the diagnosis and medicine. From now on, all the You Qi's family will be dismissed, and if it is rumored that they are trying to claim to be the Zhang family, they will immediately take the post and send it to Shuntianfu for punishment! ”

You Qi, who still had a little consciousness left, heard this, and his heart was anxious. However, he couldn't say a word with the cloth scroll in his mouth, so he could only listen helplessly to the left and right house slaves, and then carried the spring stool out. When he arrived at the gate, he thought that he did not know how many officials were waiting to be seen, and after seeing this scene, the revenge of the old enemy would definitely make him unlucky, and he did not have to expect those who had called him brothers and sisters in the past to be sent to him, and he despaired. At this moment, he only heard a voice from behind him.

"Wait!"

Thinking that someone was interceding for him, Zhang Juzheng took back his fate, but he could hear that it was Xu Jue's voice, and You Qi's heart sank immediately. Sure enough, the next moment, he only heard Xu Jue speak: "You Qi has also followed Lord Shoufu for so many years, and there is no credit and hard work, and now Lord Shoufu is angry, so this is how he falls." In this way, send people to Feng's house, before Feng Gongzi was raising stick sores, and the doctor had been staying in the house, this is just a piece of recuperation, rest assured, I just told Lord Shoufu about this. ”

The two servants of the Zhang Mansion looked at each other when they boarded, to be honest, carrying the spring stool to send You Qi, who had completely lost the favor of the master, to the hospital, this is not a good errand, if someone is willing to take over, it will naturally be the best, but Zhang Juzheng scolded You Qi, if they make their own decisions, what will be the end? Even if Xu Jue said that he had already told him, they didn't dare to believe it. Fortunately, after a while, a long class came out of it and nodded at them slightly, and they put down the spring stool with relief. Soon, Xu Jue called two Feng Mansion family members to take over and carried people out of Zhang's Mansion.

You 70,000 never expected that Xu Jue would propose such a plan to Zhang Juzheng, and Zhang Juzheng actually agreed! He was still tied to the spring bench and couldn't move, but he couldn't care about the countless surprised eyes after leaving Zhang's mansion, let alone the humiliation that was equivalent to parading the streets, as well as those pointing and talking. He didn't have the strength to struggle, he desperately went to see Xu Jue, hoping to take off the strip of cloth that gag, at least he could regain his ability to speak, and he could do everything he could to exchange all the conditions for the possibility of survival.

Where would Feng Bao be so kind and shelter him, a person who was driven out by Zhang Juzheng, I am afraid that he will not be able to beg for death at that time!

Sure enough, after getting out of the big yarn hat alley, and turning around in several alleys, it became more and more secluded, and You Qi found that his walking speed had slowed down. Immediately after, Xu Jue dismounted beside him, but he leaned down beside him and whispered: "You Qi, although we have some battle of will, it's not that I don't want to help you if I can help, you have really overdone yourself this time." I don't dare to disobey Gonggong Feng's order, and I can only apologize to you here and say sorry. Within a year or two, Gonggong Feng will let you live, but whether this life is good or not, you just have a number in your heart. You know, when the time comes, your family will also take over, and you don't think about yourself, but also for them. ”

Xu Jue, you bastard!

If You Qi hadn't been blocked in his mouth, he couldn't wait to spray it with a mouthful of spit and scold the hypocritical Xu Jue with blood. However, he didn't have this ability, so he could only watch Xu Jue make a gesture, and the group continued to move forward. When the spring stool was finally carried into Feng's mansion, You Qi lowered his head in despair, how could there be any hope in his heart? Sure enough, when he was carried to a courtyard deep inside, he only heard Feng Bangning's resentful voice from inside.

"Give him medicine first, and heal the wounds. In two or three days, I'll concoct him well! ”

In Zhang's study, Wang Fulin was here again, and naturally thought of the scene when he was summoned here when he entered Beijing for the first time, and the Wang Daokun brothers were also there. This kind of scene of Shousuke being summoned alone in a private house may be excited by others, but he is mostly vigilant in his heart. After all, even Xu Jue asked Zhang Juzheng to ask for You Qi before, Zhang Juzheng actually allowed him to witness it with his own eyes, as an outsider, is this a bit excessive?

"Tell me, why don't you want to stay in the Metropolitan Procuratorate? Is it really just because of the previous vows? ”

Hearing this straightforward question, Wang Fulin secretly thought that he was fortunate to be prepared, and immediately said calmly: "Lord Shoufu, although I served as the governor of Guangdong before, and I also impeached a few people, but what really made the officials and people of Guangdong praised was those few practical things such as the peaceful thief and the Xingxue. I will say a big rebellious word, there are many people among the officials of science and Taoism, and I disdain to be in the company of them! (To be continued.) )
