Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Fade Chen was startled when he heard this, and said, "Could it be that Patriarch Aijahd acted without waiting for us to arrive?"

The guide shook his head and said, "Probably not? Even if Patriarch Aijahd wants to attack the British, there is no need to call everyone to the city center with such a big fanfare, right?"

Fade Chen pointed to the city center with his hand and said, "Come on, let's go and have a look."

Fade Chen led his subordinates and followed the crowd towards the city center, and came to the central square in a short time. There was a high platform in the middle of the square. , everyone held a long whip as thick as a thumb, Fade Chen asked the guide in a low voice: "What do these people with whips do?"

The guide whispered, "They are in charge of execution."

Fade Chen was taken aback, and said, "Execution? What do you mean?"

The guide said: "Pashtuns are used to lynching. If someone does something wrong, he will be handed over to the local elders for trial. The elders will set the punishment. If the crime is relatively minor, it will be executed in private. If the crime is relatively serious, it will be executed in public. Execution, like today's public execution in the city center, should have committed a great crime."

Fade Chen nodded and asked, "What kind of crimes are they going to be executed in public in the city center?"

The guide shook his head and said, "This is not certain, such as apostasy, murder, and robbery are all possible."

Fade Chen gave a "hmm" and said, "In this case, we don't need to read it any more. Let's go see Aijahed as soon as possible."

Everyone also felt that there was no need to read on, because the punishment of criminals by this tribe had nothing to do with them. Fade Chen was about to leave with the crowd when he suddenly saw a few strong men walking in the distance. These strong men were dressed differently, obviously It's the prisoner.

Among the strong men, there is a person who is still in custody. That person is wrapped in a black robe and a black veil on his face. Only a pair of eyes are exposed. It is obviously a woman. Since the veil covers her face, the age of this woman I can't see the face clearly.

Fade Chen pointed to the strong man and the woman and asked the guide: "The woman being detained by the strong man should be a criminal, right?"

The guide nodded, and Fade Chen couldn't help asking, "How big a crime can a woman commit?"

The guide said: "If it is a woman, it is very likely that she committed adultery."

Fade Chen said "Oh" and led the people to go outside. At this moment, the crowd suddenly crowded in front of the high platform, and Fade Chen and others couldn't squeeze out for a while, so Fade Chen whispered to the crowd: "Let's Wait a while before going out."

At this time, several strong men had already escorted the woman to the center of the high platform, and a man who looked like an elder walked up to her. She knelt obediently, kowtowed to the elder, and then straightened up, kneeling on the high platform respectfully.

The elder pointed at the woman and said something loudly, but Fade Chen couldn't understand, so he asked the guide, "What is the old man talking about?"

The guide listened for a while and said: "He said that the woman had committed the serious crime of 'apostatement', and asked her if she would admit her mistake and repent. whip."

Fade Chen said in surprise: "Eighty whips? Did you use the whips in the hands of those strong men? That whip is as thick as a thumb! Eighty whips, this woman must be dead."

The guide shrugged his shoulders helplessly and didn't say anything. At this time, the woman also spoke. She raised her head and said something awe-inspiring. Everyone on the sidelines were surprised and whispered to each other. Fade Chen still couldn't understand anything. I asked the guide again, and the guide said: "This woman said that women can not wear veils, and women can show their faces outside like men. What she said is not allowed by the teachings, so the elders said that she committed the great sin of apostasy. "

Fade Chen said "Oh", and said, "So that's how it is." Fade Chen just said something to himself, and suddenly saw the guide's complexion change drastically. It was obvious that something from the woman's words touched him just now. Fade Chen hurriedly asked: "What did that woman say again?"

The guide said in surprise: "The woman said she would not repent and was willing to accept whipping. Alas, it seems that this woman will be beaten to death here."

Liao Qifei on the side also heard what the guide said, and hurriedly said to Fade Chen: "Brother Fei, let's go and save that girl."

Fade Chen frowned, and said sharply: "Nonsense! Lin Shuai has repeatedly emphasized that in Muslim areas, we must respect local customs and not interfere in their internal affairs. Have you forgotten?"

Fade Chen would call Lin Yuan "Shuai Lin" only on very formal occasions. Liao Qifei didn't dare to say more when he heard Fade Chen call him that, and kept silent. At this time, the elder on the stage pointed at the woman and said He said something, and then stepped aside, two strong men with long whips came up to the woman, each of them grabbed one of the woman's arms, put her in front of the wooden frame in the middle of the high platform, and tied her hands to the frame , let the woman stand in front of the shelf, and then the two strong men stepped aside.

At this moment, four strong men holding long whips came up behind the woman. One strong man stood up first and swung his long whip towards the woman's back. On the ground, there was a "pop", and everyone in the audience was quiet, only the woman let out a shrill scream.

The strong man who had finished beating the whip retreated to one side, and another strong man walked behind the woman and whipped him again, and the woman let out an even more miserable cry.

Liao Qifei whispered to Fade Chen: "Brother Fei, their style of play is quite ruthless. If they fight alone, the people behind will be tired, and their strength must be much lighter. According to the current style of play, A person can still rest for a few seconds after beating, without getting tired at all, and every whip is full of strength, it seems that this woman is doomed, shall we just watch her die?"

Fade Chen frowned, and said: "If you dare to interfere, so many people below will think that you don't respect their traditions, and then they will become enemies with you. They are not only enemies with you, but also with China. We are enemies, so we can only watch here."

Liao Qifei frowned, and said, "But didn't Commander Lin tell us to protect the weak? I don't think this woman has made any big mistakes..."

Chen Fei's face darkened, and he said angrily: "In your opinion, she didn't make a big mistake, but in the eyes of the local people, she deserves no punishment, understand? We must respect the local customs, remember?"

Liao Qifei nodded silently. During the time of speaking, more than [-] whips had been hit on the woman's back. The black robe on her back was already stained red with blood, and there was a puddle of blood under the woman's feet. The screams became weaker and weaker, and gradually turned into occasional screams...
