Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 67 The Death of Liao Yongzhong

At night, Taiping Lane, Hudou Lane, and the study room in the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

One table, two chairs, one lamp, one soup, two dishes and one pot of wine.

Hu Weiyong had a drink with his nephew Hood.

"Oh, how could it be like this..." Hood drank a glass of stuffy wine, and his expression was not so much depression as fear.

"The bull's head and horse noodles are all at Liu's house, why did you let that little bastard, the king of Chu, mess up?"

When Hu Weiyong heard the words, he gave his nephew a blank look, and cursed secretly, saying that Lao Tzu is a tauren, or that Zhou Yuanjue is a man with a horse face?
"Don't talk about you." But he really wasn't in the mood to be serious, he fried the small whitebait with his chopsticks, and said, "Even I have been thinking about it for three days and three nights, but I still can't figure it out."

"Could it be...Liu Bowen is afraid of Ruos?" Hood trembled while pouring wine for his uncle.

"Who knows?" Hu Weiyong shook his head, and said hesitantly, "Actually, Liu Ji's life or death is not important. The trouble is that the emperor actually met him."

"I don't know what you said?"

"What else can I say? Just relying on Liu Bowen's mouth, if you don't clean yourself up, you'll beat me up when you're done?" Hu Weiyong raised his neck and drank a cup melancholy.

"Ah..." Hood was pouring wine for him, and he was stunned when he heard this.

Hu Weiyong tapped his nephew with his chopsticks and said, "It's spilled."

"Hey..." Hood hurriedly put down the jug, wiped the table with his sleeve, and asked in a trembling voice, "Then, uncle, will the emperor know about the burning of the letter?"

"What are you panicking?" Hu Weiyong held up the wine cup steadily, staring fixedly at the liquid that was obviously higher than the surface of the cup. "If the emperor is suspicious, let him be suspicious. He has too many people to deal with, and it won't be our man's turn for a while."

"Ah..." Hood didn't feel at ease, but panicked even more.The feeling of making the emperor think about it is terrifying enough.

"Uncle, quickly find a way to transfer my nephew out of the military commander's mansion!"

"Look at your worthless appearance!" Hu Weiyong spat: "Where can you go if you are the king's land under the whole world? Besides, if you are transferred at this time, wouldn't it just make the emperor suspect you?"

"Ah, then..." Hood's mouth was dry for a while. "Then just sit here and wait for death?"

"Of course we can't sit still." Hu Weiyong said indifferently: "Instead, we must take the initiative to attack!"

"Doesn't it die faster?"

"No, you're wrong. Now in the eyes of the emperor, I, Hu Weiyong, am just a big servant girl holding the key - I can't be the master of the house, and the one who really has the final say in our Huaixi is Han Hangong." Hu Weiyong said in a deep voice:
"If Han Gong is moved, the whole Huaixi will be uneasy, so Han Gong is safe. So what we have to do is to replace Han Gong as the big brother of Huaixi, and then we men can rest easy. !"

"No wonder uncle wants to help those nobles and deal with Liao Yongzhong." Hood suddenly said.After finishing speaking, he felt that something was wrong, if his uncle didn't deal with Liao Yongzhong, wouldn't all this bullshit be in trouble?

"That's right, my uncle doesn't have the qualifications of Han Gong, not even Wang Guangyang, an old alcoholic. If you don't help them earn money, how can they recognize me as a big brother?" Hu Weiyong said in a deep voice: "Anyway, this time we got rid of Liao Yongzhong, no loss."

"Liao Yongzhong won't come out?" Hood asked in surprise.

"Either don't do it, or do it absolutely, this is our Hongwu Emperor." Hu Weiyong cupped his hands in the palace and said, "Liao Yongzhong can stand up this time, I will take your surname."

"Didn't he have an iron certificate?" Hood still didn't believe it. He listened to those honorable children bragging all day long about how powerful the iron certificate was.

"Who sent that piece of iron?" Hu Weiyong said with a smile: "The emperor really wants to kill someone, can a piece of iron stop it?"

~~
The dungeon of the inner prison.

Zhu Yuanzhang came to see Liao Yongzhong again.

It has only been ten days, and the man who was originally made of steel and iron has been tortured to the point of emaciation, his cheeks are sunken, his body is shaking, and he seems to have a fever.

"Why is he barebacked?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a frown.

"Returning to the superior, after Marquis Deqing came in, he shouted for heat every day, so we had to help him take off his clothes and keep cooling him with cold water." Liu Ying whispered.

"Nonsense!" Zhu Yuanzhang scolded. "Put it on him quickly."

"Hey." Liu Ying quickly picked up the robe that was thrown on the ground, and put it on Liao Yongzhong's head indiscriminately.

Liao Yongzhong didn't say a word, but kept trembling with his embraced arms.

"Xiao Liao, do you think we will kill you in a muddle like Liu Bang killed Han Xin?" Seeing that he was half alive, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't bother to talk nonsense with him.

"No, we have already investigated your crimes clearly, and now let someone read it to you. Later, we will make a notice to the world, so that everyone in the world will know why we have to punish you."

After finishing speaking, the emperor waved his hand, and a doctor from the Ministry of Punishment stepped forward and read aloud the ten crimes such as usurping dragons and phoenixes, covering up subordinates to traffic in private salt, and roaring at the Golden Palace.

"Xiao Liao, what else do you have to say now?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Liao Yongzhong.

"There's nothing to say..." Liao Yongzhong said with difficulty: "Sir, stop talking nonsense, let's do it quickly."

"You should be beheaded for your crime." Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly, "But this time, we will give you a lighter sentence and change it to a staff of forty. After the beating, you can go home."

"Do we still have to thank you?" Liao Yongzhong said with a sarcasm.

"It's up to you." After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he turned around and prepared to leave the dungeon.

Suddenly he stood still and said: "We will let your son inherit your title, and we will also keep your family safe."

"Thank you, Majesty Long En." Liao Yongzhong kowtowed to thank him.

"Why did you make it like this, it's so ugly!" Zhu Yuanzhang said in a low voice, and went straight out of the dungeon without looking at him again.

~~
As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang left, four tall Jing soldiers came in, tied up Liao Yongzhong, and carried him out of the dungeon.

The torches were brightly lit in the Inner Prison Court, and the ground was covered with felt. The executioners stood on the left and right with iron-coated chestnut sticks in their hands. Eunuch Wu stood on the steps with a stern expression, and he looked like a different person when he followed the emperor.

When Liao Yongzhong arrived, he was thrown heavily on the mat.Two jujube sticks crossed and pressed down on his neck, and the other two pressed against his knee sockets, pinning him firmly to the ground.

Eunuch Wu walked down the steps, squatting beside Liao Yongzhong, and said softly: "Marquis Deqing, are you willing to admit your mistake to the emperor? If you are willing, you can go home alive."

"My mistake was following such a ruthless master!" Liao Yongzhong spat.

"Bones are really hard." Eunuch Wu stood up, pointed his toes together, and said, "Let's execute the sentence."

The two Jing soldiers in charge of the execution saw it clearly, so they rounded their jujube sticks and hit Liao Yongzhong's back with all their strength.

Liao Yongzhong has a strong and iron frame, but the back waist is still the key.

At the beginning, I was still groaning in pain, and after more than a dozen sticks went down, there was no movement at all.

By the time the forty rods were beaten, his spine and kidneys had been completely crushed...

Eunuch Wu gave him a wink, and the two Jing soldiers used jujube sticks to turn Liao Yongzhong over for inspection.
I saw that he was breathing in but not out, and his mouth and nose were covered with blood foam...

"Send it home quickly." Eunuch Wu waved his hand.

~~
Hearing that the old man was sent back, the entire Deqing Hou Mansion was overjoyed.

But before dawn, it turned into crying...

Liao Yongzhong died only three hours after he was sent back.
