There is a white bone spirit in the village

Chapter 80

The whip fell continuously on the flesh, making a "pop" and "pop" sound.

One, two, ten, twenty.

Yang Jingxuan felt something was wrong the first time the whip fell from his back.

The old yamen servants in the yamen all have the unique skill of using water and fire sticks to beat people against the board.Having reaped the benefits, he raised the stick high and dropped it heavily, the sound was also crackling, and the actual pause was only a superficial injury to the flesh.If you want to put someone to death, that's a sap, and it's not a problem to hurt someone's heart.He knew that Liu Datong was proficient in this way.

The slap of the whip that landed on his back now feels like the same thing.It sounded very loud, but when it hit his back, the force was not as strong as that sound showed.He quickly recognized that the crackling was actually mainly the sound made by the crackling of the whip when the whip was twitching in the air.

"29, thirty..."

The other counting whip on one side counted five to ten.

Yang Jingxuan felt the pain of being whipped on his back, but this pain was completely within his tolerable range, and it was much lighter than he had expected.He finally couldn't help turning his head, and glanced at Butcher Wang who was whipping his whip behind him. Seeing that he was sweating profusely, with a tense expression, he suddenly felt a little puzzled, and then looked at Lin Jiao.Seeing that she was looking at him with a dignified expression and pure worry in her beautiful eyes, she didn't see anything wrong.I had no choice but to suppress the doubts in my heart and turn around.

Butcher Wang looks like a torturer now, but in fact he is more entangled and painful than Yang Jingxuan who is being whipped by him now.

The thing is like this, early yesterday morning, he was invited to a neighboring village to kill a pig for a wedding.After killing the pigs, when he brought some pigs from his master back into the water, he got a sad news. He had already been decided that he would go to the ancestral hall tomorrow to punish the former patriarch Yang Jingxuan who violated the clan rules. He repented and quit, and even the torture tool he wanted tomorrow—the whip had already been delivered to his home.

He naturally knew that this was not a good job, otherwise it would not be his turn to be blamed by his wife.He also had no choice but to admit that he was unlucky.

Then the matter was not over, and in the afternoon, his wife who was working in the field rushed home with a hoe, pulled him into the house and locked the door.

"You pulled me into the house in broad daylight, what's the fuss? It's not dark yet! Besides, it will be dark, I'm not in the mood now!"

"Damn ghost, who wants to do that to you! Let me tell you, we are going to be unlucky!"

"Bah, the stinky bitch has a crow's mouth!"

"Let me tell you, I just met Chunjiao in the field. A while ago, there was a war outside the Guan. Do you know who Yang Jingxuan is?"

His mother-in-law came close to his ear and whispered for a while.Wang Butcher's expression changed drastically, and he said blankly, "I'm so foolish...that's true, why did you come back and nest in this village like us..."

"Oh, even if it's a fool, we can't offend him. Besides, what if it's true? How many heads do you have?"

Butcher Wang cursed bitterly: "Damn, no wonder everyone refused to pick it up, and finally pushed it to my head! Could it be that they all knew in advance? They are just bullying us honest people! They are thieves and thieves, and I am not a fool. Now go to Third Uncle and get the whip back, and beat him yourself!"

The mother-in-law hurriedly stopped him again, and said: "No, Chunjiao said, if you beat her, you will beat him. If you don't beat her, the man won't stop. It's just that you can't exert your strength, just get a little bit of flesh and blood. Then he said..." He leaned into his ear and said a few words, and then took out a bag of money, "No, I returned these. Don't let us speak out, let alone let him know."

Butcher Wang struggled for a long time.I finally understand what I should do tomorrow.It must be fought, but it must not be hit hard.And most importantly...

"49, fifty..."

He heard counting in his ears, and saw Yang Jingxuan looking back at him again.Butcher Wang glanced at his back, it was covered with red welts, densely integrated, and blood beads had already ooze out in some places...

He held up the whip again, and suddenly there was an groan, the whip fell to the ground, and the man hugged his stomach and squatted down, screaming: "Stomach hurts..."

This sudden change was really beyond everyone's expectations. Amidst the buzzing sound, Third Uncle got up and said, "What's wrong? You have a stomachache?"

"It hurts, it hurts to death..."

Butcher Wang hugged his stomach and rolled on the ground.

"You bastard! Just kill your pig well, why should you be forced to offend others if you are good-looking! Isn't this the reward of the present world... Who wants to beat me, whoever wants to beat me up and continue, this job is not done by people Yes, we quit!"

His mother-in-law rushed out immediately, and squatted beside the rolling Wang Butcher, howling nonstop.

The villagers in the big field looked at each other and talked a lot, but no one was willing to come out to take the whip, coupled with the howling of the butcher's wife, the scene was like a pot of porridge.

The third uncle opened the ancestral hall out of anger, but now seeing the mess and seeing blood on Yang Jingxuan's back, the more he thought about it, the more angry he got, he stood up and took his crutches and hit him on the back again.This crutch was much heavier than Butcher Wang's whip just now, and it probably hit the damaged part of the skin. Hearing Yang Jingxuan hiss, he snorted and said, "You were the one who hit! Your third uncle taught you a lesson for your grandfather!" After finishing the one turn, he took another look at Chunjiao who was standing next to her, and saw that she was staring at him fiercely with wide-eyed eyes, snorted, and her eyes widened to her swollen belly, finally sighed and shook her head Throw in the towel.

The third uncle was about to suppress the noise and announce the disbandment, when he suddenly saw a commotion at the end of the arena, and a few horses rushed towards him from a distance, and the ones sitting immediately were several military officers in armor and sabers , the momentum is extremely impressive.

Even horses are rare in this kind of countryside, let alone such a military officer with a strong horse?Immediately attracting everyone's attention, seeing Ma Chao approaching the ancestral hall, he quickly made way out of the way.The leading military officer rode his horse to the front of the ancestral hall, as if he was looking for someone, when he suddenly saw Yang Jingxuan who was still kneeling in front of the ancestral tablet in the ancestral hall, he immediately recognized his back, screamed, almost scrambled off the horse , rushed into the ancestral hall, arrived in front of Yang Jingxuan, opened his eyes wide and said: "My lord, what's wrong with you!" His eyes glanced at the whip wound on his back, he was furious, and pulled out the whip from his waist with a clang. Knife, angrily said to the people outside the ancestral hall: "This is the great general of our Great Xia Dynasty Jiedu Envoy, who just led the Zhen Guojun to suppress the rebels and made a triumphant return. Who dared to treat him like this!"

His roar was like thunder falling from the sky, and everyone in front of the ancestral hall was stunned.The butcher and his wife, who were acting just now, did not move. They glanced at each other, and then at Lin Jiao who was motionless, feeling both shocked and frightened.

At first, I was dubious, but I acted according to her words with the idea that I would rather believe what I have than believe what I don't, and that more things are worse than less things. I didn't expect it to be true, but it would be true...

Yang Jingxuan saw that it was Li Guantao's lieutenant general Ding You who was at Yanggu Pass, and others came. He quickly got up from the ground as if nothing had happened, and said: "It's just a private matter of my village. It's okay. But you, how could you?" Arrived here? Master Li also returned?"

Ding You saw that he put aside such a few words, so he had no choice but to respectfully say: "Return to your lord's words. When Lin Yuanzhou was first settled, Lord Li sent a quick report to Beijing. Lord Li just returned yesterday, and he just received the quick report this morning, saying that it was sent by the emperor. The imperial envoy is coming here, and we can arrive today. Master Li has no time to spare, so he ordered me to come and inform him, and we will go there immediately to meet him."

Yang Jingxuan pondered for a moment, took the shirt he had just taken off from Lin Jiao's hand and put it back on, looked at the dumbfounded third uncle, and said apologetically, "Third uncle, look..."

The third uncle finally came to his senses, wiped the sweat from his brow, and said, "You take care of yourself, take care of yourself..."

Yang Jingxuan thanked him, turned to Lin Jiao and whispered, "A-Jiao, since the imperial envoy is here, I..."

Lin Jiao smiled slightly and said, "The imperial envoy is here, so of course you have to go to meet him. Just go home yourself. Just go home first, and go after you get the medicine."

Yang Jingxuan nodded, and Lin Jiao led Ding You and others away.The villagers on both sides were stunned, until the group of people disappeared on the village road outside the big field, and then they seemed to explode into discussions, with expressions of surprise and envy.

The third uncle heaved a long sigh of relief, thinking about the back of Lin Jiao who was being supported by Yang Jingxuan and slowly going away, he thought: "If she can give birth to a big fat boy for Dahe this time, my old man will tolerate her for the time being." Once, it's no big deal..."

Lin Jiao had prepared the wound medicine earlier, and when she got home, she asked Ding You and others to wait a while, and fetched water to clean up the blood on his back. Meat, you feel very at ease, don't you? Tell me what's good about you... and that old man, your back skin is torn, and he still hits you with a cane. If he dares to enter next time The door of our house, I must use a broom to drive him away..."

She complained, but the movements of her hands were very gentle. After applying the medicine, wrapped the bandage, and was tying the knot, she suddenly saw him turn around and begged: "A-Jiao, don't you treat third uncle like this? He treats me like this. Very good. When I was young, I often bought candy for me.”

Seeing him looking at her with bright eyes, Lin Jiao softened her heart, and sighed: "Forget it, forget it. If you are happy with yourself, what can I say. It's all right, if he comes next time, I will respectfully give him Let the seat serve tea and water, so you will always be satisfied..."

Yang Jingxuan laughed, stood up straight and stretched out his arms, asking her to put on another clean coat that he had just taken out, then suddenly remembered, and said: "A-Jiao, yesterday you suddenly said that you wanted to eat game and urged me to go hunting in the mountains. Did you talk to Wang Tu and his wife when you were at home?"

Lin Jiao was startled, she quickly opened her innocent eyes wide, and firmly denied: "Nonsense! I've been sleepy since I've eaten enough these days, and I was sleeping yesterday, so I didn't run around here and there." Pushing it out, he said in his mouth: "They are still waiting..."

Yang Jingxuan was pushed out by her, so he had no choice but to stop asking.Lin Jiao sent him and Ding You to the door, but saw Wang Tu and his wife standing outside waiting eagerly, surrounded by villagers in twos and threes.As soon as they saw people coming out, the two fell to their knees.

Wang Tu cried and said to Yang Jingxuan, "Brother Yang, Master Yang, don't forget about it. You are an official and I am a citizen. I have the guts to dare not beat you. It was forced by them..."

His wife grabbed Lin Jiao's sleeve and begged, "Big sister, it's you who told me to beat my family's dead ghost, just don't beat him hard, and tell him to pretend that his stomach hurts when he hits fifty. I'll do as you said, I don't dare to take this money anymore, big sister, take it back, just please don't seek the bad luck of that damn ghost of my family..." He said and stuffed a bag of money into Lin Jiao's arms.

The crime of beating an official is really not a small one.Wang Tu and his wife were a little lucky at first, but now that they really saw this posture, the more they thought about it, the more frightened they became. As soon as Yang Jingxuan and Lin Jiao left, he followed behind and begged for mercy.

Lin Jiao couldn't stop her in time, the wife of Wang Tu had already said everything out of her mouth.It has already entered the ears of Yang Jingxuan beside him.Seeing him turn his head to look at himself, his expression actually contained a bit of reproach.

If you reveal your stuff, you will reveal your stuff.She just did it, what else could he do with her?
Lin Jiao pouted her lips and stopped looking at him.

Yang Jingxuan had no choice but to appease the couple first, and when they finally left with tears of gratitude, he came to Lin Jiao, pulled her aside, frowned, and said in a low voice, "I thought you had a problem just now..."

"Then come back tonight and teach me a lesson. I'll wait for you on the bed, Uncle Jingxuan..."

Lin Jiao looked up at him, and said in a voice that he could only hear clearly.

Yang Jingxuan immediately raised the white flag.The heart lake seemed to be gently swept by a goose feather, and that itchy feeling sizzled out from the cracks in his bones...

"I'll go first, and I'll come back as soon as possible. Don't go out and run around..."

He coughed in disguise, turned around and left.

Lin Jiao leaned against the door wall and watched him, Ding You and the others leave with a smile on their backs.It wasn't until he couldn't see it anymore that he beat his back, smiled at the villagers who were still watching from a distance, turned around and entered the yard to close the door.
