Twin Brocade

Chapter 752 The Beginning of Suffering

However, Xiao Pei committed a life lawsuit after all, and the few people who were alive were also tortured out of shape by him.

Such an iron case with witnesses and material evidence, imprisonment alone is not enough to outrage the people.After weighing again and again, Gu Shangshu added the punishment of tattooing his face.

Face tattooing has existed since ancient times.

It does not hurt their limbs and lives, preserves the prisoner's labor force, and makes the criminal's identity clear at a glance, making it impossible to escape.The traces of this shame go deep into the bone marrow and will follow the prisoner for life.

The tattooed prisoner bears the imprint of shame from then on, and the physical and mental suffering can be seen in general.But in any case, compared to losing one's life, this is always an extremely mild punishment.

But for Xiao Pei, this is the ultimate fear.

When he heard the verdict, he had not yet had a real understanding of it.At this moment, looking at the iron needle that was shining with cold light, he couldn't be more frightened.

"Using Mabosan?" The thin man asked.

"No need." Someone replied, "Just use fire."

Need not?

Xiao Pei groaned and struggled, and he could hear the cruelty in the short answer.With Mafeisan, even if he was going to be tattooed, at least the process would not be so painful.

They are all tattoos, but each has its own particularity.

The family members of some prisoners brought money in to buy off the upper and lower joints.Let the prisoner take Mafeisan and be tortured in a coma.Although it hurts afterwards, it is still many times better than such a living tattoo.

But if the money is not enough, it will be boiled with sesame seeds on the needle.

The worst thing is, like Xiao Pei, watching himself being tattooed.

He was expelled from Cheng'enhou's mansion, and Cheng'enhou strictly forbade anyone from the Hou's mansion to visit the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, even Mrs. Hou was grounded.With no money, and Xiao Pei's detestable behavior, the people in the punishment department wanted to make him suffer.

The thin man put the iron needles on the fire to roast, motioned the jailer to release Xiao Pei, and said, "I repeat, if you don't want to get more marks on your face, don't move."

The iron needle approached Xiao Pei's face, he felt the heat from the needle tip, and found that he had no choice but to face this torture.

The thin man's hands were as steady as iron, and he carved two characters on both sides of his cheeks without mercy: a word for "disciple" and a word for "crime".

Each character is one inch and five cents long, five cents wide, and two cents deep.

How sensitive is the touch on the surface, even if it is scratched lightly, it will make a sound of pain, not to mention such a forceful engraving on the surface.Compared with the pain of tattooing, the pain of the stick before was nothing at all.

Blood flowed down his face, Xiao Pei was so painful that he became incontinent, he clenched his fists tightly with both hands, restraining his urge to struggle.

When the tattoo was finished, he finally rolled his eyes and fainted.

The thin man remained expressionless, picked up a tube of toner, and filled Xiao Pei's wound.Only when the ink is injected and the shape of the characters are displayed, can the tattoo be considered complete.

His expression was focused, as if he was treating a fine work of art.

"My lord ordered, to save his life."

Gu Shangshu wanted Xiao Pei to get out of the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice and was dispatched three thousand miles away.As for whether something will happen after leaving the prison, it has nothing to do with him.

The skinny man nodded, and after finishing his tattoo, he applied wound medicine to Xiao Pei's face and buttocks.The jailer dragged Xiao Pei and threw him back into the cell.

In the dead of night, Xiao Pei woke up slowly in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

There were bursts of stinging pain on his face, he stroked his cheek with trembling hands, touched the wrapped white cloth, and let out a heart-piercing scream.

And this was just the beginning of his punishment.

This autumn, for Xiao Pei, is the beginning of suffering in life.For others, it's not.

Those persecuted by Xiao Pei were finally able to see the light of day again.But the hardships they have suffered are deeply engraved in their lives and souls and cannot be erased.

They joined forces to carry out a hearty revenge after Xiao Pei was exiled from Beijing.

For them, Xiao Pei did evil, and exile with a tattoo on his face is not enough!How can we dispel the anger in their chests and appease their resentment!

But for most people in Luoyang, what happened to Xiao Pei has become a thing of the past.There are so many interesting and strange things in the capital, Xiao Pei was completely forgotten within a few days.

In Xiuwenfang, it seemed even more busy.

Half a month later, the Fang family and the Qiao family in the same workshop will get married.The closer the day of getting married, the more festive it looks in the workshop.

Neighbors and neighbors are familiar with these two.It is necessary to greet each other and send someone to ask if the two families need help.We have to inquire with each other, don't repeat this congratulatory gift.

The Fang family and the Qiao family who were hosting wedding events were naturally the busiest.

Fang Ziquan is Si Lansheng's legitimate son, and also the first son of Fang's family to marry a wife.His marriage meant that the third generation male of the Fang family had grown up.

The meaning of this is very different.

Not only Fang Mu's branch, but also the uncle of Weizhou's direct branch also brought their female relatives and servants to Beijing.

The preparations for the marriage were already tense, and when the people from Weizhou's hometown arrived, Si Lansheng was even more busy.After tidying up the old house in advance and carefully preparing the reception banquet, they arranged for all the people to wait.

Seeing that his mother was too busy, Fang Jinshu volunteered to take over the affairs of the Fang family's inner house.

Since her 12th birthday, Si Lansheng taught her how to do housework.After Jiji, she let her take care of many things in rotation.

Now, Fang Jinshu is very familiar with taking over.All the rules are ready-made, and there are routines for entering and exiting.In her previous life, she was in charge of Emperor Qinglong's Sangong and Sixth Courtyard, so how could this matter stump her.

Some quick-minded servants, seeing that the fourth girl was in charge, inevitably felt contemptuous, and wanted to fish out of troubled waters.After being decisively dealt with twice by Fang Jinshu, he knew that there was something wrong with him, so he immediately calmed down.

Marrying a daughter-in-law is a major event for the Fang family, and Qiao Tongxuan's marriage is also a major event for the Qiao family.

She is the daughter of Qiao and Lu's family. Even for the sake of her own face, Lu Yiqin has to handle this matter well.

Qiao Tongxuan's grandmother sent someone from Jiangnan to bring her two large boxes of dowry, a companion room, and two carefully trained maids from the Lu family.

However, when Qiao Tongxuan saw the two maids, she immediately understood the Lu family's plan.Where did they come to serve her master, they were clearly preparing for the future son-in-law.

It's a good name, and it's to keep her in favor.

Qiao Tongxuan sneered a few times, and said: "You are skinny and tender, I don't have much work to do here. These few days, you take good care of them, and follow me there when you get married."

The two responded coquettishly, and Shi Li withdrew.

Looking at the backs of the two, Qiao Tongxuan's eyes flashed cold, and a sneer was pulled from her lips.
