Mu Chenyi was stunned, but he quickly realized what Lin Yushu meant by asking Su Wuzheng to beat him. He sighed and said, "Yes!"
Lin Yushu's intention was not only to ask him to go to Su Wuzheng to receive the whip, but also to help him subdue Su Wuzheng and make Su Wuzheng loyal to her.
Lin Yushu looked down at him and sneered, "You little dog slave, you don't want to?"
Mu Chenyi lowered his head and said with difficulty: "No, I am willing."
As long as A Yu is happy, he has no objection.
Even if it would destroy his dignity.
Dignity and such are not important to him at all.
Lin Yushu looked into his eyes and sneered, "You little dog slave, remember this: you are the most despicable slave here. Talk to Su Wuzheng properly. To me, he is much more important than you."
Mu Chenyi lowered his head: "Yes."
He looked down on Su Wuzheng, even though Su Wuzheng was the leader of the Jinyiwei and even though Su Wuzheng was highly valued by the old emperor, he just looked down on him.
After all, he is a eunuch.
He even despised his style of doing things.
But now, Lin Yushu ordered him to please Su Wuzheng!
Lin Yushu stood up, and Mu Chenyi knelt there, waiting for Lin Yushu's order. Lin Yushu lowered his eyes to look at him and said, "Also, check on that old bastard Qi Zhao to see if he has any contact with anyone."
She was very curious about who told Qi Zhao to petition for the throne when the little emperor had no backing. She wanted to know whether this was Qi Zhao's own idea or someone else's order.
And how many royalists are there in the court now?
Mu Chenyi lowered his head: "Yes, I will find out."
Lin Yushu looked at his humble appearance and said indifferently, "I'll give you a deadline. Within seven days, I want you to complete both tasks for me. Recently, you have to go to Su Wuzheng every day to get a whip. Remember well, whose dog you are."
Mu Chenyi lowered his head: "Yes."
Lin Yushu knew how to torture him. Making him go to Su Wuzheng, the man he once looked down upon, to receive a whip every day was more painful than killing him.
But, you cannot disobey.
If he disobeyed Lin Yushu's order, then Lin Yushu would definitely hate him, completely hate him.
Lin Yushu said indifferently: "There is no time to lose, go now."
Mu Chenyi watched Lin Yushu leave before he slowly stood up and walked out of the Qinzheng Hall and towards the Shenxingsi which was in charge of Su Wuzheng.
When Su Wuzheng saw Mu Chenyi, he was very surprised, but he quickly realized that it was the order of the Empress Dowager.
Otherwise, how could someone like Mu Chenyi come to him?
Mu Chenyi lowered his head: "The Empress Dowager ordered me to come here to receive the whip. In addition, Eunuch Su should understand what the Empress Dowager meant."
Su Wuzheng certainly understood that this was meant to pull him on board. He had this intention in mind. After all, there were not many people in the court that he could rely on.
There are only three people who can give him shelter: the little emperor, the empress dowager and Mu Chenyi.
But Mu Chenyi always looked down on him and was unwilling to have anything to do with him.
The little emperor's future is still unknown. Which one of the Empress Dowager and Mu Chenyi would be willing to let him ascend the throne?
Even if the little emperor was the rightful heir.
Therefore, the only person he could turn to was the Empress Dowager.
Su Wuzheng laughed wildly: "Did I hear correctly? A figure like Lord Mu actually came to my little place to receive the whip? Lord Mu is not afraid... that I will expose this matter to the public?"
Mu Chenyi's expression didn't change at all: "If Eunuch Su wants to see me make a fool of myself, he will see it every day from now on. The master wants me to come to Eunuch Su every day to receive the whip."
Su Wuzheng couldn't believe his ears. Such an unreasonable request, and Lord Mu actually agreed? It seemed that he had to carefully consider the status of the Queen Mother in Lord Mu's eyes.
Moreover, he understood very well what the Empress Dowager meant. It was precisely because he understood that he was extremely shocked. The intention of sending Mu Chenyi to the Ministry of Punishment to receive punishment was very clear, and it was just a warning.
Warn Mu Chenyi that he is just a servant of the Empress Dowager.
Because the Ministry of Punishment was a place where slaves were punished.
He knew that there were some grudges between the Queen Mother and Lord Mu, but he always thought that Lord Mu was in a high position and powerful, and the Queen Mother was afraid that she would have no way to take revenge. He did not expect that the Queen Mother would subdue this man like a dog so quickly.
Su Wuzheng understood what Mu Chenyi meant: "Master Mu wants us to be loyal to the Queen Mother. It's very simple. If Master Mu kneels down and begs us, we might agree to your request."
Mu Chenyi raised his eyes and looked at Su Wuzheng: "As long as I kneel, Eunuch Su will be willing to be loyal to the master, right?"
Mu Chenyi stared at Su Wuzheng's eyes, his eyes full of indifference. If he did what he said, he wouldn't care. After all, he might have to kneel down in front of Su Wuzheng in the future.
After all, the master doesn't like him.
But the problem was that he was afraid that Su Wuzheng would go back on his word.
Su Wuzheng smiled and said: “Of course, although our family is a disabled family, we are also trustworthy.”
Nonsense. Actually, as a Jinyiwei, Su Wuzheng was not very trustworthy. He often tricked people into confessing and then killed them. But in front of Mu Chenyi and Lin Yushu, he dared not break his promise.
He just wanted to see to what extent Lord Mu could obey the Empress Dowager.
Mu Chenyi slowly knelt down: "Mu Chenyi has been ordered by the master to come here to receive punishment. Please give me the whip, Eunuch Su."
He put himself in a very humble position, and Su Wuzheng felt very comfortable. Thinking of the countless times in his life when Mu Chenyi had turned his back on him, he suddenly felt comfortable.
He stopped making things difficult for Mu Chenyi and chuckled, "Since the master has ordered it, why don't you give Master Mu that good thing?"
He said this to his subordinates, which was also a sign of surrender. After all, he started addressing Lin Yushu as "master", which showed his submission.
Mu Chenyi breathed a sigh of relief but did not get up. After all, he had not received the whip yet, so he did not dare to get up.
Su Wuzheng took the whip handed to him by the young eunuch. It was a good piece of stuff, smooth and tough all over, made of the best cowhide. Although it looked simple and not as good as his hideous-looking companions, it was the most painful.
The whipping only causes pain to the skin but does not injure bones. He just wants to see this person make a fool of himself, but does not want to kill him.
And even if it was his master's order, he didn't want to offend Mu Chenyi to death.
Su Wuzheng folded the whip in half and held it in his hand: "I wonder if the master has any instructions on how many lashes Lord Mu should receive?"
Mu Chenyi lowered his head and said: "Today is the 50th day, and there are no instructions after that. If Eunuch Su wants to know, he can ask the master."
“Bang!”
When the whip fell on Mu Chenyi's back, Mu Chenyi realized how painful this seemingly insignificant whip was. He frowned and dared not say a word.
Su Wuzheng chuckled: "I know why the master punished Master Mu. It must be because you have a very unpleasant mouth, right?"
