Chapter 164: Xu Shibing was torn apart by five horses, and the Xu brothers were exiled; Yu Shi learned that Xu Jingyang was still alive
The Xu family lined up and waited to be taken outside the Meridian Gate.
In just a few days, Xu Shibing seemed to have aged twenty years. He was taken to the outside of the Meridian Gate by the Yulin Army in prison clothes. His limbs and head were quickly tied with ropes, and the other end of the ropes were connected to horses.
There were many ordinary people outside the Meridian Gate watching the ceremony.
Although the punishment of being torn apart by five horses was cruel, it could not withstand the people's deep hatred for corrupt officials. They wanted to watch but dared not, and half covered their eyes with their fingers.
When the executioner gave the order, the five horses began to prance and neigh.
Xu Shibing closed his eyes in despair.
The sound of horse hooves suddenly rang out, and the white prison uniform rose up in the air for a distance and then fell down like a light piece of red paper.
The air was filled with the smell of blood.
Some people screamed and fainted.
A carriage was parked at the entrance of the alley not far away.
Yu was sitting in the carriage. The moment the sound of horse hooves rang out, she closed her eyes and the Buddhist beads in her hand suddenly broke.
A sharp scream was heard, and Yu seemed to smell the bloody smell from a long distance.
When the clattering sound of the falling Buddhist beads stopped, Yu opened her eyes and a line of tears flowed down the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.
Her absurd first half of life ended.
Jingyang, Xu Shibing is dead, did you see it?
Everyone in the Xu family witnessed the entire process of Xu Shibing being torn apart by five horses. Some were stunned, some were terrified, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
Immediately afterwards, the female members of the family were rushed to the Jiaofangsi by officers and soldiers. The crying and screaming were unbearable to hear. When the team passed by Yu's carriage, Yu lifted the curtain and saw that the one crying the most was a young girl from the Xu family.
The young girl suddenly saw Yu's face and cried out, "Aunt, please save me! I don't want to go to the Jiaofangsi."
Yu remained indifferent.
The girl shouted for a long time but got no response from Yu, and was kicked by the soldiers instead.
The girl glared at Yu and finally yelled, "Do you think you can escape? You enjoy the prosperity of the Xu family, but you also have to bear the sins of the Xu family. You will never have a good death in this life!"
As soon as the girl finished speaking, someone nearby threw a rotten egg at her.
Yu lowered the curtain with trembling hands.
This wasn't the end of it. The Xu family men, who were familiar to me in the past, were brought to the front of the Meridian Gate one by one. The executioners chopped off the heads with their swords, and ten heads rolled down. The corpses were quickly dragged away, and another ten people were brought up...
During the execution, two other people were dragged up.
Xu Suyuan and Xu Jiashu were pressed on a long bench, and thirty lashes of the board fell rhythmically on them.
The dull slapping sound weighed on Yu's heart.
The people, unable to bear the bloody scene, dispersed.
The Xu Suyuan brothers gritted their teeth and said nothing, with blood all over their bodies. They were already injured, and after thirty beatings, they were only breathing their last breath.
After being beaten, the two brothers were put in a square shackle and their feet were shackled with iron chains. The officers and soldiers escorted the two brothers forward.
The days are warm in late autumn, but there is still a chill in the wind.
From the time they left the Meridian Gate to the time they exited the city gate, the two men were covered in vegetable leaves and eggshells, and were covered in blood.
Yu's carriage followed quietly behind.
When they were some distance away from the outskirts of Beijing, Yu stopped a line of people.
Money makes the world go round. Yu provided medicine, food and clothing to the two brothers.
The two brothers looked at Yu and their faces were shocked.
Xu Suyuan smiled bitterly: "Mom, why are you here?"
Yu burst into tears, "You are the flesh that fell from my body. Jing Yang is gone, and I couldn't even protect you."
Xu Suyuan shook his head: "Fortunately, mother left the Xu family early."
Xu Jiashu looked at Yu and said, "Mother, the Xu family... and we have committed serious sins."
Whenever Xu Jiashu closed his eyes, he would think of Jingyang in the temple that day.
Today, he finally got to see his elder brother and mother. Xu Jiashu knelt down in front of Yu, with the blood from his lower body soaking the red soil.
"Mother, I am an unfilial son. I harmed Jingyang back then." Xu Jiashu stared at the loess, tears falling from his eyes.
Yu's throat was choked with sobs and she couldn't speak.
It's too late to say more now.
It's wrong, it's wrong.
At about the same time, several officers and soldiers approached with military clubs. Yu quickly told Xu Jiashu to get up: "Jiashu, get up quickly."
Xu Jiashu had an injury on his lower body and moved very slowly. The officers and soldiers were unhappy with this and hit Xu Jiashu directly on the head with a stick.
He shook his head, his face covered in blood.
Yu cried and yelled, "He will get up, don't hit him!"
Xu Suyuan stood in front of his brother.
Xu Jiashu stood up shakily and looked at Yu, who was in tears.
Xu Jiashu knew that his time was running out, so he finally decided to speak frankly. He took a deep breath and said:
"Mom, Jingyang is still alive."
As soon as the words fell, Yu's body froze. Her lips moved slightly, and her eyes stared straight at Xu Jiashu: "What did you say?"
Xu Suyuan's hands were shaking constantly.
Xu Jiashu's face was filled with sorrow:
"Jingyang is still alive. She is still alive in this world and she is living well."
"Mom, you have to live well."
After saying this, the two brothers were taken away by the officers and soldiers.
Xu Suyuan didn't have time to react. He staggered and fell forward, his leg bones hitting the stones on the roadside, causing severe pain.
Yu ran forward, fell, and got up again, looking very embarrassed.
"Where is Jingyang? Tell me now!"
Xu Jiashu: "She's fine now... She doesn't want us to know."
Yu murmured, "Don't want us to know..."
Xu Jiashu said his last words to Yu, "Mother, go back and live a good life in the future."
Xu Suyuan was pushed up by the officers and soldiers.
After that, no matter how Yu pressed him, Xu Jiashu refused to say a word.
Yu stared at the figure in front of her and murmured, "It's Yun Zheng, right? It must be her."
Large dark clouds blocked the sunlight and heavy rain could fall at any time.
A day later, Qi Yunshen, Jiang Yunzheng and others finally caught up with the army.
After three days of sleeping in the open air, I can finally sleep in a tent tonight.
When he arrived at the military camp, Qi Yunshen was the Yunhui General of Daliang, who was a master of military strategy and a brave and skilled fighter.
Qi Yunshen dismounted from his horse, his aura intimidating without even being angry.
He first glanced at Jiang Yunzheng, and Jiang Yunzheng nodded at him. Qi Yunshen then walked forward. The deputy generals and soldiers who were still training immediately stopped their movements, lined up in an orderly manner, stood straight, and no one whispered.
A strong general has no weak soldiers under his command, which is enough to show that Qi Yun is strict in leading his troops.
Four young men suddenly appeared in the temporary camp. They were brought by General Qi. Even though the deputy general and soldiers were curious, they didn't dare to look at them for too long.
Qi An took the four people to the tent where the military doctor was at the back.
When Doctor Luo saw these four people, he was shocked at first.
Jiang Yunzheng whispered, "Doctor Luo."
Hearing the familiar voice, Dr. Luo slapped his head and said in surprise: "Dr. Jiang, you are here too!!"
Jiang Yunzheng: "Doctor Luo, long time no see."
Doctor Luo chuckled. With Jiang Yunzheng's arrival, Doctor Luo had some idea about Qi Yunshen's poison.
Otherwise, it would be risky for Dr. Luo to succeed alone.
Doctor Luo then asked, "Who are these two?"
Hou Yue introduced herself: "I am Doctor Jiang's bodyguard, Hou Yue."
Xie Xuan was not very familiar with this environment. Jiang Yunzheng glanced at her, and then Xie Xuan imitated the man's accent and tone.
"My name is Xie Xuan, and I'm Doctor Jiang's apprentice."
Doctor Luo smiled and said, "That's great, that's great. Doctor Jiang has a successor."
The army had just set up camp, and Jiang Yunzheng and the other three had not had time to set up their tents.
Jiang Yunzheng and three others set up the tent together.
After quickly setting up one tent, Mozhi went to get another one, which was not too far away from the previously set up one.
Jiang Yunzheng: "Just one night, the four of us can stay together."
When marching, do as little or as little as is convenient.
Mo Zhi touched his nose and said, "I'm used to sleeping alone."
Xie Xuan: “???”
Hou Yue: “???”
Xie Xuan looked at Hou Yue: "I also want to live in a room alone."
Hou Yue: "Impossible."
