Chapter 57: Human Nature

After the plum blossom witch left, Huang Wuji also began to prepare for going to Fangwai. In order to minimize the danger of this trip, Huang Wuji was thinking about how he could be injured once in front of the public, and the time spent recuperating from his injuries would definitely not be suspected by others.

When the sky is cloudy and the rain is leaking, Kyoto has been very quiet for a while now, and it seems that the aftermath of the death of Cui Hong, the former secretary of the criminal department, has not passed.

Huang Wuji decided to stay in the prince's palace for a few days now and pretend to see what the outside world is talking about. Just when Huang Wuji was thinking about how to pretend to be injured and worrying about it, Cai Hu's letter had already reached the hands of Emperor Tang.

Looking at the music in his hand, Tang Huang found for the first time that his youngest son had really changed, and he had become a little stranger, and he could kill anyone who didn't know each other, and it was time for him to have a long memory.

Cai Hu, the Tang Emperor, still has some influence, and it seems to be from the old thirteen. Back then, in order to help Cai Hu become the governor of Xuzhou, it took a lot of effort, and finally approved.

The purpose of what the Tang Emperor did was also to prevent the eldest prince from dominating the court. As a monarch, you must always show your majesty, let your existence exist in the hearts of every minister, and make the ministers fearful.

"Someone!" Emperor Tang shouted majestically, and an old eunuch who was guarding outside the imperial study hurriedly ran in, knelt on the ground and pinched his throat and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, what are your orders!"

"Spread my will, the nineteenth prince Li He is arrogant and domineering, and he has no king's law, so he pulls a hundred canes in front of the Xuanwu Gate to make an example!"

"Yes, the maidservant will do it!" The old eunuch took the holy decree prepared by Emperor Tang early in the morning and walked out of the imperial study quickly. In the imperial study, Emperor Tang picked up the chapter in his hand again, and gave instructions one by one.

The old eunuch's speed was not slow, and he quickly arrived at Huang Wuji's mansion with a ticket of the Imperial Forest Army. This is the aristocratic area, and the princes and nobles who live there see the posture of the Imperial Forest Army, and they think that they are going to raid someone's house, so they hide in the house one by one and dare not come out, excluding the family members who quietly follow behind to see the situation.

In front of the prince's mansion, the old eunuch straightened his clothes and signaled the Imperial Forest Army to slow down. The person who wants to catch the board this time is the prince and can't be lazy, every prince has the qualifications to become a prince, if you are offended here, don't think about having a good life in the future.

The guards of the Prince's Mansion were also taken aback by the Imperial Forest Army, and thought that something had happened, so they hurriedly came to the old eunuch and asked, "This father-in-law, what has happened to you!"

"Go and tell the Nineteen Princes, our family has come with a will, let the Nineteen Princes come out to receive the decree!" the old eunuch said and raised the holy decree in his hand, and the guard saw that it was true, and ran in a puff of smoke.

The guards did not report directly to Huang Wuji, but found Li Chong, the commander of the guards. After hearing this, Li Chong, the commander of the guards, asked the guards some information, and immediately turned around and walked towards Huang Wuji's room.

Huang Wuji was worried about how to cause an accident in the room at this time. The knock on the door interrupted his thoughts, and he cleaned up his mood and said, "Come in!"

"Your Highness, something is wrong, there is a holy decree coming, and the one who comes is not good!" After Li Chong, the commander of the guards, finished speaking, Huang Wuji's face was happy, and he really wanted to come to something.

Li Chong, the commander of the guards, saw Huang Wuji's happy face, and he didn't understand it in his heart, but he didn't ask it, presumably his master had some considerations.

Huang Wuji wore the prince's clothes, which was a must-have costume for the Tang Dynasty at this time. Dressed in the prince's clothes, Huang Wuji walked towards the front yard unhurriedly, the old eunuch waited for a long time, and was slightly angry in his heart, secretly blaming Huang Wuji for not knowing what to do.

Looking at Huang Wuji, who was belated, a trace of anger flashed in the old eunuch's eyes. In the end, the old eunuch is also the person who works beside the Tang Emperor, the prince and nobleman or the lady in the palace, the prince outside the palace has to give him a little thin noodles, and he doesn't dare to slack off, but this is the case when he arrives at Huang Wuji.

"Your Highness, it's a little too slow!" said the old eunuch in a reproachful tone. Huang Wuji glanced at the old eunuch coldly, and his eyes clearly did not look at the other party in his eyes, as if he was talking about dog slaves.

"You?????? The old eunuch was so angry by Huang Wuji's eyes that he almost shouted and scolded loudly, it was the first time he had encountered this kind of person in many years. He is now representing the Tang Emperor, and a small prince dares to be unreasonable in front of the Tang Emperor.

"Be bold, don't kneel down to accept the order!" the old eunuch was angry and had no scruples, and shouted and scolded.

"Dog minion, you dare to make this prince kneel down and bring me the holy decree!" Huang Wuji snatched the holy decree from the old eunuch's hand and slapped the other party in the face.

Naked humiliation, the old eunuch trembled at this time, his face was red and blue and white, the three colors were changed in turn, and one finger pointed at Huang Wuji and said nothing.

"It's too much to deceive people!" The anger in the old eunuch's heart instantly rushed to his head like a raging fire, and he shouted loudly in desperation: "Your Highness, I represent the Tang Emperor, you dare to snatch the holy decree, do you want to rebel!"

The old eunuch's words shocked the surrounding circle of people. This sentence is completely heart-wrenching, but after robbing the holy decree once, it becomes a rebellion, and this black cauldron is big enough.

Seeing that Huang Wuji didn't care at all, he didn't look at the old eunuch, he opened the holy decree with one hand and looked at it, and after seeing the content of the holy decree, his eyes couldn't help flashing a trace of joy.

However, it cannot be exposed on the surface. After putting down the holy decree, he didn't even look at the old eunuch, and said to the officer who seemed to be the leader in the Royal Forest Army: "Hey, hey, hey, yes, it's you, let's go, isn't it just a hundred boards, it's nothing remarkable!"

Huang Wu led the Imperial Forest Army with great swagger, regardless of the attitude of the old eunuch, and walked directly out of the Prince's Mansion in the direction of Xuanwu Gate. The princes and nobles along the way also got the news, but when they saw Huang Wuji's approach, they all felt a little strange in their hearts, whether this was to be punished or to attend a banquet.

When I came to Xuanwu Gate, there were already three executioners waiting there, and there was a bench quietly placed there, and each of the executioners was holding a solid wooden stick in their hands.

Huang Wuji didn't talk nonsense, he suddenly lay on the bench, the executioner was stunned for a moment, and looked at the leader of the Imperial Forest Army, his face showed a strange expression, it was the first time he had seen this situation.

At this time, the old eunuch ran over panting, pointed at the executioner, and muttered loudly: "Beat, beat, don't show mercy!"

The arrival of the old eunuch gave the executioner a direction, and he raised the stick in his hand and struck Huang Wuji's ass fiercely. At this time, the princes and nobles who came to see the excitement also arrived, and the interest of Huang Wuji's performance was also stimulated.

With Huang Wuji's terrible screams, the old eunuch's heart felt a burst of relief for no reason, as if the anger just now was extinguished by a basin of cold water, as if soaking in a hot spring was so comfortable.

In the case of a hundred big boards without the slightest release of water from the executioner, the physical strength of the executioner is also a problem, and soon the hot sweat on the forehead comes out, and the strength in the hands is much smaller.

"Ninety-nine, one hundred!" said one of the executioners, who counted and called out to the other two to stop when he reached a hundred. At this time, Huang Wuji only had the sound of breathing and panting except for humming, and it seemed that he was dying and could be killed at any time.

The surrounding princes, nobles and ministers, seeing Huang Wuji's appearance, secretly calculated in their hearts, and didn't want to get out of bed for half a year. The old eunuch looked at Huang Wuji with a smug look on his face, and said secretly in his heart: "Little bastard, I'm making you look down on our family, this is the end!"

Li Chong, the commander of the guards who came with him in the prince's mansion, was also deceived by Huang Wuji, and when he saw the tragic situation of his master, he hurriedly asked someone to gently lift him up and rush back to the mansion.

All the way, Huang Wuji hummed and chirped as if he was about to faint, which made Li Chong, the commander of the guards, anxious, and ordered one of the guards to find the imperial doctor. At this moment, Huang Wuji's hand moved and gently tugged at the corner of the guard commander Li Chong's clothes, and his eyes blinked.

Li Chong, the commander of the guards, immediately understood, and hurriedly stopped the guards who went to find the imperial doctor and said, "No need to go, I just remembered that there is a doctor in the house, so don't bother the imperial doctor!"

The guards Li Chong brought with him were just ordinary guards in the mansion. Although these guards wondered in their hearts when there was a doctor in the prince's mansion, they didn't dare to ask their doubts.

Soon, the gate of the Prince's Mansion appeared in the eyes of Li Chong, the commander of the guards, and when he arrived at the gate, a person carried Huang Wuji on his back, and then said to the other guards: "Close the door, just say that the Prince's Mansion will be closed for half a year from today, and everyone will say anything if anyone asks!"

The guards received the order, and they also thought it was human nature. At this time, the people who come to the door will basically not be friends, it should be ridiculed at the door!
