Chapter 332 There must be some degree
After Meng Changqing finished speaking, she left. She did not watch the execution, but the officials in the court did not dare to leave. They watched helplessly as several sticks were struck down, leaving faint traces of blood.
Ten strokes of the stick, to put it lightly, may sound like nothing, but if the executioner had not been merciful, more than twenty strokes of the stick would have killed a strong adult.
The government officials acted according to Meng Changqing's wishes. With the current situation, who dares to show mercy?
Everyone present who had any thoughts that shouldn't be moved were horrified.
Anyone who is not a fool knows what is going on today. Dealing with those two people was one thing, but more importantly, it was to warn others.
After ten steps down, the two people on the bench gradually lowered their voices of pain.
Bafang had already prepared the cart. When he came back and saw that the board was finished, he greeted everyone and threw the people directly onto the cart.
"Master." Bafang took out a letter from his arms, "This is a letter to Weishan Camp. It contains the identity certificates of these two people. When you get there, don't worry about who is coming to pick you up. Just give the letter to them directly. .”
On a rare occasion when Xi Bei felt worried, she pulled Bafang aside and asked, "If we send people back like this, aren't we slapping Wei Fang Yun in the face?"
"What does it have to do with Lord Wei?" Bafang asked, "It's because of their own bad conduct. Besides, the young master only retreated the people to Weishan Camp, not directly to Lord Wei."
"Wei Fangyun is in charge of Weishan Camp, and besides, he sent these people here."
"Master, why are you worrying about this? Is it possible that the young master is careless?"
"You can't say that. He has no time to spare all day long, and he might get dizzy. Isn't it just to remind you to follow him? How about you, what do you think of him?"
"Look at me as a young master." Bafang handed the riding whip to Xi Bei's hand, "Be careful on the road."
Xi Bei took the riding whip and pretended to beat him, but Bafang ran away immediately.
"Oh! Come back!" Bafang saw that Xi Bei really had something to say, but he could only shrink back in fear, "What else do you have to say?"
"Why don't you ask Changqing again about this matter, I'll wait here."
"If you have anything to ask, don't worry, Master. Master Wei will not be unhappy if you withdraw two people." Bafang lowered his voice, "Master Wei has said hello before. If any of the soldiers are not comfortable with it, please withdraw." .”
After he finished speaking, he was about to leave, but Xi Bei grabbed him and said, "I didn't know that Wei Fangyun is so close to Chang Qing?"
Bafang smiled and said, "To say something inappropriate is like a grasshopper on a rope."
As for Zheng Xidong, he followed Laicai around to the west gate of the county government office.
"Happy winter." Mrs. Wen was waiting for her in the yard.
Zheng Xidong looked at the people in front of her. During this day, she saw the dignity of being a human being in Wenshi. She wanted to understand that people in this world are divided into high and low. If you want to have dignity, you must go to higher places.
"Sir, please wait for me."
"As promised." Wen stood up and said, "Let's go and take you to see Mr. Xin."
Wen said as he walked: "This new gentleman's surname is Cai. He has passed the government examination and is said to be very knowledgeable. He originally opened a private school in Luojiang County to teach people to study. Unfortunately, he was too kind-hearted and worked hard for several years. Instead, he failed. The family lost everything.”
Zheng Xidong followed beside him and listened very carefully.
Wen patted Zheng Xidong's hand and said, "It can be seen that people must have moderation in doing things. This is true for kindness and filial piety."
