Section 48 The Cruel Family
"Huh?" Seeing the four people who were brought in front of him, the Bi family patriarch was expressionless, but Bi Shuxuan on the side frowned. Before, the people below reported that a young man named Biqi did not arrive, so the head of the Bi family and Bi Shuxuan ordered someone to bring Biqi's relatives, but Bi Shuxuan did not expect that Biqi's parents were Bi Li and his wife.
"Bi Li, are you Bi Qi's father?" Bi Shuxuan asked in a deep voice for the first time, "Why didn't he come this time when the family convened a family meeting?" After all, Bi Li is Bi Shuxuan's subordinate, although after the battle of the Gongsun family, Bi Li's status has been shaken a little, but he is still Bi Shuxuan's right-hand man, and Bi Shuxuan doesn't want Bi Li to have anything to do with it from the bottom of his heart.
Hearing this, Bi Li smiled bitterly, why didn't Yu Tianqi come is very simple, Yu Tianqi has already left, and I am afraid that it will never appear in the future. It's just that Bi Li can't tell the truth, so he can only sigh secretly, shake his head quite bitterly, and say, "I don't know, Bi Qi may be in retreat and cultivation, and he hasn't been notified!"
"Really?" The Bi family patriarch glanced at Bi Li lightly, then focused his gaze on Tan Zhi, and said, "Tan Zhi, you are Bi Qi's master, what about your apprentice?"
"This ......" Tan Zhi opened his mouth, he couldn't answer a word for a long time, Tan Zhi naturally couldn't reveal Yu Tianqi's affairs in the fashion club, this is related to Yu Tianqi's secret, but how should he answer the current situation?
Bi Li's speechlessness and Tan Zhi's silence made the Bi family patriarch and Bi Shuxuan wonder. Originally, it seemed to them to be just a trivial matter, as long as they asked Biqi to come over quickly, it would be fine, but now they found out that it seemed that Biqi was very mysterious, and there seemed to be some secret hidden in it.
"Bizzie... Biqi... This person seems to me to have the impression that he is the overseer of Lu Lin City, right?" Just as everyone was silent, the Bi family patriarch said abruptly. The reason why he knew about Bi Qi was because of the report from Lu Lin City, Bi Qi, as a prison army, did not appear all year round, which made the city lord and commander extremely dissatisfied, so they reported the matter. The patriarch of the Bi family didn't pay attention to it at first, but today he suddenly saw the performance of the Biqi family, and the patriarch of the Bi family became curious about Biqi, what has this young child of the Bi family been doing all these years.
"It seems that the Bi family's discipline of the young children is too lax!" "The Bi family patriarch snorted coldly, and directly gritted his teeth and said, "I order you to quickly send someone to bring Biqi back to me, if he doesn't show up before sunset, the four of you will wait to be tortured by roasting spirits!" Originally, the Bi family patriarch didn't want to embarrass the Bili four too much, but thinking of the increasingly erosive atmosphere of the Bi family over the years, especially the arrogance of the younger generation, the Bi family patriarch wanted to use today's events to knock everyone up, and use the example of the Bili four to kill chickens and monkeys.
"The Punishment of Roasting Spirits?" "The Punishment of Roasting Spirits?" The four of Bili listened to the patriarch's words in a daze, and their thoughts were a little unturned, the punishment of roasting spirits, as the name suggests, is a kind of torture of the soul, although it will not hurt people's bodies, but the soul will undergo a painful torture, and some weak-willed people will suffer from it, for fear that they will be tortured to death directly, this is a very severe punishment for the Bi family, a traitor like Bi Chengkong, the Bi family will not use this kind of punishment to torture.
Bi Li was full of hatred in his heart at the moment, but Yu Tianqi did not appear, it was necessary to be served by such a big punishment? Moreover, Ah Hui had just experienced the pain of Yu Tianqi's parting, and his spirit was in a trance, if he was subjected to such a punishment again, would his wife be able to withstand it?
Thinking of this, Bi Li was furious, but before he could refute it, Bi Min, who was silent on the side, took the lead in speaking, "Patriarch, I don't accept your sentence!" Bi Min is straightforward, how can he be willing to suffer such a wrong, although he doesn't know why Yu Tianqi didn't come, but he also thinks that the four of them will not fall into such a field.
"It's wrong for Bizzie not to come, but there must be his own reasons. It's just that you don't participate in the family gathering, there are so many people, there is no more than him, and there is no less than him, is it necessary to pick up a butcher's knife for his own people?" Bi Min cares about the clan rules at the moment, and only cares about himself to vent, "If you kill your own clan because of a family gathering, isn't this the heart of the Han people? Besides, if you are the patriarch, can you ignore the lives of your clansmen and kill them?"
Bi Min's voice was so loud that the people in the entire square could hear it clearly, and many people from the Bi family also nodded secretly when they heard it, and they also felt that the family had done too much. The family gathering, without explanation, asked everyone to put down what they were doing and rushed to arrive, which has made many people complain, and now seeing the people who the family wants to punish can't be punished, these people are naturally unconvinced. It's just that although everyone is angry, they dare not speak out, after all, the authority of the patriarch cannot be challenged, and not many people will be as impulsive as Bimin.
When the patriarch of the Bi family heard Bi Min's words, he was furious, how many years have anyone dared to refute himself in such a face-to-face manner? This is completely not taking his patriarch in his eyes. At this moment, the killing intent loomed in the eyes of the Bi family patriarch, and he was completely moved with murderous intent.
Bi Li looked at his eldest brother with a headache, and knew that Bi Min's words must have offended the top of the Bi family, but Bi Li had no choice, and faintly, Bi Li also felt that Bi Min was not wrong, for the sake of a less than one clansman, it was necessary to mobilize the people?
"Okay!good!good!" At this moment, the patriarch of the Bi family said hello three times in a row, and his expression became hideous, and said, "I'm not afraid to tell you, it's not my intention as the patriarch to ask the clan to come here, but the person who can't be punished by the Elder Taishang, and if you don't put me in your eyes, it's okay, but if you openly slander my Bi family ancestor, then you will be to blame!"
As he spoke, the head of the Bi family waved his hand and said, "Come here, use the punishment of roasting spirits!" After speaking, the head of the Bi family also glared coldly at the people of the whole clan, "You are limited to bring the clansmen who have not arrived before the sun sets today, otherwise you will bear the consequences!"
Everyone heard that they were all quiet as greetings, originally everyone thought that the matter would not be so serious, and many people were also lucky not to come, but all this that happened in front of them suddenly made them smart, if the relatives were not there, it was not only the individual who was affected, but also their own relatives, immediately, many people in the Bi family immediately sent people to urge their relatives.
Bi Shuxuan watched all this happen helplessly, although he knew that the Bi family patriarch also wanted to kill the chicken and make an example, but he also knew that Bi Min's words angered the Bi family patriarch, although he wanted to help Bi Min and a few people, but he couldn't find a suitable reason, after all, this is the Taishang Elder's words, if he sets a precedent and sends it back to the Taishang Elder, his impression will not be very good.
Thinking of this, Bi Shuxuan gritted his teeth, directly closed his eyes and stood aside, putting on an attitude that it was not about himself, what he could do at the moment was to clear up the relationship, he would rather give up the talent of Bi Li than want Elder Taishang to have an opinion on himself.
Bi Shuxuan's performance, Bi Li naturally saw it in his eyes, this couldn't help but Bi Li was very melancholy, but even Bi Shuxuan didn't help himself, so what could he do with the others? At this moment, those Bi family guards very quickly erected four pillars in the square, and tied them all together, tying the four of Bi Li to the pillars. Then, four big men walked up to the four of them with rattan sticks in their hands, ready to be tortured.
Everyone can see it clearly, the rattan held by these four big men is the soul devouring vine, although the whipping will not fall too heavy skin wounds, but each whip will make people's souls tortured, life is better than death, it is said that under a hundred whips, a person is bound to die.
"Hmph, fifty lashes for one person, no one can escape!" The head of the Bi family snorted coldly, and immediately ordered the execution, and when everyone heard this, they all secretly smiled bitterly, the head of the Bi family obviously wanted to cripple the four of Bi Li, fifty lashes, although it was not to death, but it was not far from death, this kind of torture that was worse than death was more uncomfortable than directly killing four people.
Hearing this, Bi Li's expression has become extremely ugly, he looked at his wife worriedly, seeing that he was still dazed and fearless, Bi Li knew that his wife was afraid that there was no hope of life, perhaps, since Yu Tianqi left, Ah Hui had already died.
"Could it be that this is God's punishment for my Bili family? What did I do wrong!" Bili shouted in his heart, he wanted to laugh, laughing at himself, today's situation is all because of himself, for the sake of the family, his family is broken, and the Bi family not only treats himself well, but also punishes him like this, which completely makes Bili very disappointed in the family, at this moment, Bili really sees the family clearly, and lets go of the last bit of expectation for the family in his heart.
"What are you still stunned about, don't do it yet!" Just when Bi Li sighed, the head of the Bi family urged impatiently, the four big men never made a move, they originally thought that the head of the Bi family was just scaring the clansmen, and they never thought that the head of the Bi family would really be so ruthless to his own people, but now it seems that the head of the Bi family is determined to be ruthless.
As soon as they gritted their teeth, the four big men did not hesitate, they knew that if they didn't do it, they would definitely be punished, although they also knew that the four of Bili were innocent, but they had no choice.
With a "crackle", the four whips made a sound of air neatly, and then the four big men struck the four of Bili with their whipped whips, and now they had to send arrows.
However, just as the four whips were about to fall on the four of Bili, a loud sword qi shot straight out, splitting the four whips in an instant, and the four big men just waved the broken whips and fell into the air.
At this moment, the change suddenly occurred, everyone was surprised, and hurriedly turned their heads to look, only to see a young man in white, walking slowly with a gloomy face, and the anger between his eyebrows was undisguised.
"Tianqi!" Bi Li saw the arrival of Yu Tianqi for the first time, and he couldn't help but worry at the same time, although Yu Tianqi was here, but now that the Bi family patriarch was angry, would he let Yu Tianqi go easily?
Compared with Bili's worries, Ah Hui was ecstatic, and being able to meet Yu Tianqi again was more important than anything else. As for Tan Zhi, he is not worried about Yu Tianqi's safety at all, in Tan Zhi's opinion, if Yu Tianqi is willing, he can completely overturn and destroy the Bi family, at that time, what can the Bi family do!
