The leader was so frightened that he immediately became alert.
"The emperor has orally ordered that Marquis Xiang Ming trespass into the imperial palace, which is a heinous crime. He shall be punished with 100 military sticks, stripped of his rank of general, and expelled from Kyoto." Eunuch Li stepped forward and said loudly.
One hundred military sticks?
Everyone was in an uproar. One hundred military sticks would kill someone.
Although the emperor did not explicitly threaten anyone's life, few people could survive a hundred blows from the military sticks.
The Jinyiwei placed a stool at the palace gate and said, "General Xiang, please."
Xiang Minghou raised the big knife in his hand and threw it to the Jinyiwei next to him. The Jinyiwei reached out to catch it, but was knocked to the ground by the weight of the knife.
"You come to carry out the execution." Eunuch Li casually picked a Jinyiwei from the crowd.
The Jinyiwei in the crowd was in his twenties. He was slightly stunned when he was called, then he reacted and walked out of the line and picked up the military stick.
Xiang Minghou lay on the bench: "Come on."
The Jinyiwei tightened his grip on the military staff: "I apologize for the offense, General Xiang."
As the voice fell, a heavy military stick fell.
"one"
Another military stick fell.
"two……"
Eunuch Li counted them himself.
"three……"
As the military sticks fell again and again, Xiang Minghou's buttocks gradually turned blood red. He gritted his teeth and groaned, but did not let out a scream.
Everyone was shocked by what they saw, and every time it happened, their whole body was shaken.
Zhan Yi gritted his teeth and couldn't bear to watch.
Dean Chen's eyes were filled with worry. He said, "We must hold on through the hundred military sticks."
Gu Shuo and Zhan Chi rushed over and saw this scene. If Dean Chen and Zhan Yi had not stopped them, they would have rushed forward.
"Don't be impulsive." Zhan Yi said sternly.
Zhan Chi gritted his teeth and looked at Xiang Minghou like this, unable to do anything, his fingers clenched until they bled.
"Gu Shuo, you and Zhan Chi go out of the city to find Qian Fanji and Qian Fu, and bring them to the general's mansion." Dean Chen was afraid that they would cause trouble here.
"Is there news that the dean is pregnant?" Gu Shuo guessed it instantly.
Dean Chen nodded slightly.
"Where are the people? I'll take them there right away."
"You two just take Qian Fanji and Qian Fu to the general's mansion." Dean Chen said.
Gu Shuo was silent for a while and then nodded: "I will go look for Qian Fanji. Master Zhan Chiqian should be outside the city, you go look for him."
"good."
Dean Chen breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the two of them leave. Thinking of the letter he received this morning, although he didn't know whether it was true or not, he had to let them know.
After all, they are all my disciple's blood relatives.
"Ninety-nine, one hundred! The execution is over." Eunuch Li felt relieved the moment his voice fell.
Dean Chen was the first to rush over to check. At this time, Xiang Minghou was already dead, his buttocks were covered in blood and flesh, his whole body was stained red, and a pool of bright red had dripped onto the ground.
"How is he? Are you still alive?" Zhan Yi also hurriedly came forward.
Dean Chen probed his nose with two fingers and took his pulse. He felt a slight pulse and breathed a sigh of relief: "There's still a pulse."
"Oh, it's good that you're still breathing. It's good that you're still breathing." Zhan Yi patted his chest, scared to death.
"Dean Chen, please dismiss everyone in the general's mansion as soon as possible. The emperor will issue an order to seal it off tomorrow. Also, you and Marquis Xiang Ming are not allowed to stay in the capital. Leave as soon as possible." Eunuch Li walked over and whispered.
Dean Chen nodded and bowed, "Thank you, Eunuch Li, for your advice."
"No, Dean Chen is embarrassing us." Eunuch Li gave him a light support.
"Well, I won't say much."
"I have to go back and report to the emperor, so I'll leave first." After saying this, Eunuch Li led a group of Jinyiwei into the palace gate.
Marquis Xiang Ming was seriously injured and difficult to move, so Dean Chen ordered everyone to carry him and the bench back to the mansion.
