Red Mansion: Bastards rule the roost

Chapter 412: Twenty Royal Staffs

Jia Cong had no choice but to calm down, enter carefully, bow his head and bow.

"Your Majesty, Jia Cong, joins you. Long live the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."

Next to him, Sun Chi was already kneeling there dejectedly.

Emperor Xifeng's face was as dark as water, and he snorted coldly and said: "Come on, what are you so crazy about today? How can a prince and an earl go to war and fight in the palace, how unbecoming it is?!"

Jia Cong was afraid that Sun Chi would be a fool and interfere with Ruyi's affairs.

He said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, the tenth prince came into the palace and met me by chance. Since Cong and the prince had fought side by side in the past, they hadn't seen each other for a long time. They were feeling hungry, so they randomly exchanged a few moves.

I have not thought carefully about it and it is disrespectful to etiquette. Please forgive me, Your Majesty. "

Emperor Xifeng looked at Sun Chi and said, "Is that so?"

Sun Chi rolled his eyes at Jia Cong and said, "Father, that's it."

"Hmph, you two bastards, your morals are not worthy of your place, you are frivolous, your behavior is careless, and you are unscrupulous. You regard the national etiquette and laws as nothing. Fork it out and have twenty imperial staffs." Emperor Xifeng said solemnly.

At that moment, four or five royal guards came in and took the two people away.

"I thank the Emperor for your kindness."

"My son, I accept my punishment and thank my father for his teachings."

The thunder, rain and dew were all due to your kindness. The two of them went out with their heads hanging down. Dai Quan and his people followed them to jail them.

Two benches had already been set up outside the Meridian Gate, and eight powerful captains in brocade uniforms stood holding sticks.

Seeing Dai Quan pressing the two of them over, all the captains hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to greet him with smiles.

"I've met the Admiral, His Highness the Prince, and I've met Manager Dai."

"Master, please take a seat." A school lieutenant brought over a chair.

Jia Cong breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was Captain Jinyi who was executing the execution.

I heard before that the imperial staff was still a bit weak. After all, it was said that in the hands of execution masters, this stubborn stick could easily kill someone. I didn’t know if my iron cloth shirt could withstand it. Now I was naturally playing tricks.

Next to him, Sun Chi whispered: "Brother Cong, you are not allowed to avenge yourself publicly." He was afraid that Jia Cong would take the opportunity to retaliate.

Jia Cong rolled his eyes at him: "Unlike you, I will fall out whenever I want."

Sun Chi said with a sneer: "Isn't this just for your own good? Let you rein in the situation."

"Bullshit."

Dai Quan took a sip of tea beside him and said: "The Holy One has decreed that the tenth prince should be executed with twenty pieces of Kouboting's staff."

"Yes, here's the order."

The lieutenants gathered around me again, bowed and said with a smile: "Admiral, I have been offended. Don't worry, I have a sense of control."

Jia Cong glanced at Sun Chi proudly and said calmly: "You are also following the order. How can I blame you? Let's get started."

"Yes, thank you for your understanding. Your Majesty, please lie down on the stool."

The captains of the school respectfully "served" the two of them to lie down.

"My lord, your highness, may we begin?"

"Come on," Jia Cong said.

If the civil servants saw that the captain who enforced the imperial staff was so attentive, they would be so angry that they would vomit blood.

Dai Quan smiled slightly and said, "Hit me hard."

"Yes." The captains agreed with a loud voice.

Jia Cong secretly cursed, is there something wrong with this castrated dog? What good will hitting me hard do you?

But he didn't know the rules of the imperial staff. If the prison eunuch said "hit hard", it was just a formality; if he said "hit really", it meant a serious injury; if he said "hit hard" and the toes were turned inward, it was a serious injury. To kill.

Of course, Dai Quan had become accustomed to this. Even if he didn't speak, how could these captains dare to hit Jia Cong?

Sure enough, the stick was raised high, and with a strong whistling wind, it landed on Jia Cong's butt. Although the sound was loud, the force was small, just like being lightly tapped by someone.

Jia Cong instantly relaxed his tight buttocks and pretended to scream. He had always insisted on pretending to be fake.

Sun Chi was busy imitating each other and screamed loudly.

At this time, Princess Ruyi and the Second Prince arrived. Seeing that they were beaten like pigs, they thought they were hit hard and shouted: "Wait a minute."

The captains stopped hurriedly and looked at Dai Quan.

Sun Can said: "Manager Dai, don't you need to be serious? Just mean it."

Dai Quan hurriedly stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness, I have my own sense of propriety, but please don't worry."

Sun Can nodded.

Ruyi glanced at Jia Cong with concern, and when he saw him blinking at her, she knew there was a trick. She cursed inwardly that I was really out of my mind. This bastard was so cunning, how could he suffer a loss.

Then she glared at him angrily, turned around and left.

"Continue the execution!" Dai Quan said.

"One, five, ten." The lieutenants counted the numbers and finished twenty strokes in an instant.

"Commander Dai, the execution is over," said the first lieutenant.

Originally, the last step after beating the imperial cane was to use a water and fire stick to lift the prisoner up and throw him heavily to the ground. If the body was weak, half of his life would be lost directly.

However, today's prisoner has a special status, so this step is naturally omitted.

Dai Quan smiled and nodded: "Boss, I have difficulty moving today, so I'll send someone to take you back in a sedan."

Jia Cong knew that he was secretly raising the point, so he hurriedly said: "Thank you for your concern, Cong will take care of it."

"Then let's go back to our family and say goodbye."

"The Prime Minister moves slowly."

Several captains hurriedly helped the two men up, greeted them with greetings, and were very attentive. Jia Cong patted his butt. It was slightly numb, probably just a little red, and the skin was not broken. He glanced at Sun Chi and said, "You owe me one more time."

Sun Chi smiled awkwardly and said: "Your business is not over yet, let's go first." After saying that, the palace guards came in a cart and picked him up.

Sun Can said goodbye to Jia Cong and left.

Jia Cong watched the two of them leave and was about to send someone to call a taxi.

The lieutenants asked hurriedly: "What are your orders, Lord Admiral?"

Jia Cong said.

"What's the problem? Sir, please sit down and let me go and call you."

"Well, let's go." Jia Cong sat on the Grand Master's chair, crossed his legs, took the tea and took a sip.

He said lazily: "You guys are pretty good at this. Do you usually beat those officials like this?"

"How can that be done? Those officials committed a crime, and if no one intercedes, at least half of their lives will be beaten."

"Even if they are beaten to death, there are three to five a year."

"That's it, those officials are still sharpening their heads, wanting to taste the taste of the imperial staff."

"Huh? Why is this?" Jia Cong asked curiously.

The first captain smiled and said: "Sir, those officials all want to rely on this reputation.

Once they receive the imperial cane, no matter what stupid words they say, they will immediately become famous all over the world, and they will have a reputation of being indifferent to court disputes and being forthright in admonition. "

Another person laughed and said: "Those officials spend all day thinking about leaving their names in history and those people whose names are immortalized in books. Most of them will lose their heads, and they are afraid of death.

Only the imperial staff is a shortcut. After a few blows on the butt, you will instantly become a critic and a loyal minister. Who doesn't like that? "

"Therefore, there are still people who go out of their way to deceive the royal staff and pick up trivial matters to quarrel with His Majesty and make His Majesty very annoyed. In the end, he was given a royal staff and he stopped."

Jia Cong laughed dumbly. If I get hit by the imperial staff, I will be called a traitor when I go out. These civil servants will be called traitors if they get beaten up. They are really fucking bastards.
-

The Jin Yiwei sent a car to take Jia Cong back to Rongguo Mansion. Seeing Jia Cong's soldiers coming in with a large car under his protection, the disciples hurriedly went to get the pedals.

Yan Shuangying said: "Go and carry the soft sedan. Your Excellency has received a royal stick today and it is difficult to walk."

When the servants heard this, they hurriedly went in to report, and then quickly found a soft sedan to carry Jia Cong in.

"Where is the banquet for Second Mistress Lian's baby?" Jia Cong asked.

The servants hurriedly said: "The old lady ordered it to be placed in the newly built large flower hall."

"past."

"Yes."

After passing the Yimen, several healthy women came to take over the soft sedan chair and carried Jia Cong to the flower hall.

Seeing Jia Cong being carried in, everyone in the flower hall panicked and gathered around to ask questions.

"Oh, why did you get hit with a stick, but it was so severe?" Jia Mu said.

"What did Brother Cong commit?" Wang Xifeng asked.

"Hey, why would Zilong get beaten too?" Baoyu said with a smile, quite gloating about his misfortune.

Bao Dai and others glared at him and went to help Jia Cong.

Jia Cong laughed, jumped up from the sedan chair, and said: "But after we had a martial arts competition with the tenth prince in the palace, the Holy One was a little angry, so he beat us both.

But don't worry, the executioners are all Jinyi captains. How could they really fight? Just going through the motions. pity……"

"What's a pity? Didn't you suffer enough?" Daiyu rolled her eyes at him.

Jia Cong smiled and said: "I heard that if a civil servant gets a beating, he will become famous immediately. If I get a beating, there is no benefit."

Baochai covered her mouth and smiled and said: "Who asked you to learn from Wu and become a general? If you take the imperial examination and become a civil servant, you can do the same."

Everyone was relieved and started laughing again.

Youshi smiled and said: "Speaking of the imperial examination, I heard that our family seems to have a child who will be given a Chinese style in autumn this year. I can't remember whether it is a sixth- or seventh-bedroom child."

"Oh? Do we still have such talents in our family?" Jia Cong laughed and glanced at Baoyu mockingly.

Everyone covered their mouths and laughed.

Jia Mu said angrily: "You monkey, what are you looking at Baoyu for? Baoyu has been weak since he was a child. You don't know that."

Just looking at you makes people worry less? You dare to be so arrogant in the palace, you deserve it! What did the empress say when you came in? "

Jia Cong couldn't help but glance at Bao Dai and said with a dry smile: "But we just casually talked about the marriage granted by the emperor. My eldest sister is also here."

Jia Mu did not doubt his presence and said with a smile: "My queen is very interested in you. Let's eat first."

Everyone took their seats again.

Jia Mu sat lazily, lying on the couch in the back room, watching a play with Aunt Xue. She picked out a few of her favorite foods and put them on the small table. She ate and talked casually, not forgetting to tell You and others from time to time: "Let girl Feng sit on it, and you will take care of me for me. It's hard for her to work hard all year round."

Youshi agreed and smiled back and said: "She can't get used to sitting in the chief position. She sits on top, either horizontally or vertically, and she refuses to drink wine."

After hearing this, Jia Mu smiled and said, "You don't know how. Wait until I let her go in person."

Sister Feng also came in and said with a smile: "Ancestor, don't believe what they say, I've been eating for several minutes."

While talking, Sister Feng was pulled out by Youshi, Li Wan and others to sit down and toast.

You ordered someone to take a cup and pour some wine, and said with a smile: "All year round, it's difficult for you to be filial to the old lady, my wife and me. I have nothing to hurt you today. I will pour a glass of wine myself and take a sip from my hand obediently." .”

Sister Feng smiled and said, "You must respect me with peace of mind. Kneel down and I will drink."

Youshi smiled and said, "You don't know who is talking about that! Let me tell you, it's so easy to do what happened today. After this, do you know that you will have to be like this again? Just try your best to mourn for two minutes." "
