Ugly Nuer

Cheng Huan knew that he would not have any good fruit after returning to the palace due to his troubles, so he walked very slowly on the road, swaying from side to side, stopping from time to time to stare at the roadside stalls, but he refused to walk properly.

But the road was so long, no matter how much he procrastinated, he still arrived at the gate of the palace very quickly. Before he got off his horse, he saw Lang Que guarding the gate of the palace with a few strong guards, obviously waiting for him.

As soon as the two met, Lang Que's face darkened, and he pointed at him with trembling fingers, unable to speak angrily: "You, you, you... have you eaten the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard?!"

Seeing him like this, Cheng Huan knew that Xuanyuan Lin was really angry, and felt scared in his heart, but he didn't regret it. He would still do this again. He had been punished so many times because of Chen Rong in the past, and it was hard If you seize the opportunity, you must pay back a little.

"Punishing me is not punishing you. I lost a big scar on my head. I'm not afraid of you. What are you afraid of?"

Lang Que was so angry that he couldn't speak, he really didn't understand how such a thin person could be so courageous.

"You, you, a person has only one life, even if you don't feel sorry for yourself, you still think about your family..."

Lang Que shook his head and sighed. He really didn't know what to say. He had never seen anyone like Cheng Huan in his life. In the past, he acted as if his life was too long.

Cheng Huan didn't pay attention to his mood at all, he laughed twice, raised his hand and hooked his shoulder: "Commander Lang, you are not well informed, everyone in the palace knows that I am a bastard with a mother but no father." , who will feel sorry for me?"

Lang Que choked for a moment and was completely speechless. After all, he and Cheng Huan didn't have much friendship, but they often met each other in the past, and they could barely speak a few words. Seeing that the emperor's face was livid just now, he looked like he was going to kill someone It was only because of his posture that he kindly reminded him, but he didn't expect this person to be completely ungrateful.

Not only did he not appreciate it, but he didn't worry at all. Lang Que even heard him humming a little tune, which was something he had never heard before.

He was quite speechless in his heart, he didn't take his own life seriously, and he didn't need to be annoying as an outsider, so he simply kept his mouth shut. In this weird atmosphere, the two entered the imperial study.

As soon as they entered the door, before they could see clearly what was going on inside, they heard an angry shout: "Kneel down!"

Lang Que trembled and subconsciously wanted to kneel, but someone patted his shoulder. When he turned his head, he saw Cheng Huan's grinning face: "He was talking about me."

Then he knelt down and looked up at Xuanyuan Lin. He didn't have any worries about being punished if he got into trouble. Lang Que had to sigh in his heart, he looked really bad.

Xuanyuan Lin strode down from the steps, and when he reached the front, he grabbed Cheng Huan by the collar and lifted him up: "Cheng Huan, you are so brave!"

Cheng Huan curled his lips: "I'm doing it for your own good, a petty official, and we are going to pass the decree, what do people outside think of him? How do you say that sentence, oh, treacherous villain, the evil master will bring disaster to the country... "

Xuanyuan Lin's forehead jumped straight, and he threw him on the ground forcefully: "You also know the word treacherous villain?"

Cheng Huan said "oh" in a drawn-out tone, and then pointed to himself: "That's what they all said about me."

Xuanyuan Lin choked for a moment, and walked back and forth in the imperial study angrily. Lang Que was a little dumbfounded, and unconsciously moved away. He thought that the Cheng Huan he saw was already reckless, but he didn't expect that Cheng Huan in front of the emperor He actually went above and beyond, is this really impatient?

"Send me to the Punishment Department and give me thirty lashes."

Lang Que hastily agreed, his heart skipped a beat, the false edict was only thirty... This Eunuch Cheng doesn't look simple.

He was afraid that Cheng Huan would say anything else, so he hurriedly dragged him out. On the way, he saw the servant who followed Cheng Huan to announce the decree and entered the imperial study through a small door on the side. Cheng Huan paused, with a rare expression on his face. .

Lang Que shook his head: "Now I know I'm afraid? Why were you so stubborn just now?"

Cheng Huan snorted and ignored him, feeling a little worried that the thirty lashes were just because he falsely passed on the imperial decree to deceive Youlang, if the emperor knew that he still forced Chen Rong to kneel for half an hour, he would probably get angry.

He sighed faintly, and followed into the gate of the Punishment Division. He was considered a regular visitor, and he didn't need anyone to escort him. He took off his outer robe, and stood firm while holding the torture instrument's bracelet.

The servant with the whip waved his whip: "Eunuch Cheng, this slave has offended you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he lashed down with a whip, leaving a long bloodstain from his shoulders across his entire back. Lang Que watched from the side, and saw that his face turned pale with the lash of the whip, and he pursed his lips tightly as if he was about to faint Yes, quite worried: "You can hold back, this is just the beginning."

Cheng Huan didn't speak, but the servant who was whipped laughed first: "Don't worry, Eunuch Cheng can bear it, and he won't say a word for thirty lashes."

Lang Que opened his mouth, he didn't know what to say, so he kept silent.

Footsteps could be heard outside, and after a short while the inner eunuch who was serving in the imperial study came in and shouted: "The emperor has an order to bring Cheng Huan back to the imperial study, and order him to serve you with the staff."

Lang Que was taken aback, how could he change places halfway through the punishment?Do you want to have a cane?

The torture rod is not a whip, that thing can seriously injure people, and can easily maim people. Although Cheng Huan has done many things that angered the emperor in the past, this is the first time someone has used the torture rod.

Lang Que was very surprised, and pulled the eunuch to ask him what happened in the imperial study. After all, Xuanyuan Lin is not a person who backtracks on his promises, so it is strange that he suddenly changed his mind.

The inner prisoner whispered a few words into Lang Que's ear, Lang Que's face turned dark, and when he turned his head, Cheng Huan was putting on his clothes slowly, without any surprise.

Lang Que was stunned by his calmness, he couldn't recover, he opened his mouth for a long time before remembering what he wanted to say——

"You said you...why do you even do this kind of thing? If it gets out, it will offend the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty."

Cheng Huan didn't take it to heart, straightened his clothes, tied his belt loosely, and pulled it backhand twice, probably because blood stuck to his inner shirt, his brows were tightly frowned, and his tone of voice was a bit rough Very impatient: "I will not be an official, I will not enter the court, and if I offend you, I will offend you. What are you afraid of?"

Lang Que felt that he was a little short-sighted. If all the civil and military officials in the court hated him and said something casually in front of the emperor, three people would become tigers. What would happen to him?

He wanted to persuade him again, but Cheng Huan had already walked towards the imperial study, but when he got there, he didn't see the emperor, but was pressed down on the spring bench by two guards. , the strike was a bit heavy, Cheng Huan's face turned pale from the pain, and he almost couldn't catch his breath.

The little servant came out from the imperial study, and brought Xuanyuan Lin's oral order: "The emperor said no counting, hit until Cheng Huan realizes his mistake."

Cheng Huan started laughing, thinking that he had done something wrong, retaliation for retaliation, fairness and justice, and he couldn't find out any faults, so he gritted his teeth as if he had become a dumb person, and kept silent.

However, the board hurts more than he thought. Only now did he realize that the previous whips were really just a little trouble. Compared with the feeling of the whip on his body, this heavy board seemed to smash people into pieces. I panicked in my heart, but suddenly I heard someone say that if you kill him, you can kill him, and no one cares anyway.

He nodded in agreement, his body seemed to be sweating layer after layer, sticky and greasy, he felt very uncomfortable, wondering if he could go back alive to take a shower... If he could go back alive, Just take a shower first.

But it wasn't until the thing ticked off his shoulder and landed on his hand that he realized that it wasn't sweat, it was blood, and his wound from the whip was bleeding continuously.

But he didn't even feel any pain at this moment, the board only heard a sound when it fell, as if it hit someone else, he was a little dazed, and sleepiness surged up, as if he could fall asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.

Zhang Jinzhong saw that he was motionless, and then heard the sound of the wooden board, his heart beat wildly. He couldn't stand it any longer. He walked over a few steps and patted him on the head: "Are you stupid? It's just a sentence. What can't be said?"

Cheng Huan's consciousness was a little drowsy, and he didn't know what Zhang Jinzhong meant when he heard Zhang Jinzhong's words.

Xuanyuan Lin paused, and he didn't read a word for a long time. Hearing Cheng Huan's willingness to admit his mistake, he subconsciously relaxed and sneered again. This dog slave really thought he couldn't cure him, but he just didn't bother to pay attention to him in the past.

He flicked his sleeves and walked out. As soon as he went out, he saw Cheng Huan covered in blood. His upper body was pulled out with a whip, and his waist was beaten out with a plank.

As soon as he clenched his hand, it seemed that the punishment in Xindao Palace should be changed, and it was bloody and bloody at every turn, which was unsightly.

He lifted his feet and walked down, standing in front of Cheng Huan for a few breaths, but the other party didn't lift his head. He was a little annoyed, thinking that this guy was really rough and thick, and he was beaten like this, and he still wanted to Hard-spoken.

Seeing that he was not moving, Zhang Jinzhong quickly patted his face, Cheng Huan looked up in a daze, and saw the golden dragon on Xuanyuan Lin's black clothes squinted from the shaking, and then he barely regained consciousness.

Seeing his pale face, cold sweat dripping down continuously, Xuanyuan Lin felt a little annoyed in his heart as he looked like he was about to die.

He snorted coldly: "Do you know it's wrong?"

Cheng Huan didn't say anything for a while, Zhang Jinzhong was afraid that he would act like a monster again, and the emperor would punish him if he got angry, so he quickly reminded him: "You still don't admit your mistake? The emperor is extra merciful not to kill you."

Cheng Huan usually hangs his hands on the ground when he died before, but when he heard Zhang Jinzhong's words, he retracted his hands, supported himself on the stool, and raised his head to look at Xuanyuan Lin: "The emperor said I was wrong... ...what's wrong?"

Xuanyuan Lin was so angry that he wanted to beat him to death, but he couldn't speak when he saw the blood all over his body, so he suppressed his anger and said coldly: "How dare you openly humiliate the virtuous king? Don't you think there is something wrong?"

Cheng Huan lowered his head and gave a weird laugh, and suddenly reached out and grabbed Xuanyuan Lin's clothes. He was covered in blood, and this grab left a bloody handprint on the dragon robe.

Zhang Jinzhong wanted to stop him, but Xuanyuan Lin didn't move, he just stared at Cheng Huan with lowered eyebrows.

Cheng Huan raised his head with difficulty, and his voice was inaudible: "You hit me... because I humiliated the virtuous king, or because I humiliated Chen Rong?"
