Chapter 146: The Greatest Suffering in the World Is when a Hero Grows Old
When there is no Zhou Xing, Wannian County Dungeon is a summer resort.
As long as Zhou Xing comes, the Wannian County dungeon will become a purgatory on earth.
The skin on one of Wei Zhenxuan's hands had been completely peeled off by a middle-aged man with a pale face and three strands of beard, and it was hanging on Wei Zhenxuan's wrist, like a newly taken off glove.
Seeing Yun Chu looking at Wei Zhenxuan's hand seriously, the middle-aged man said with some embarrassment: "Xia Guan used to belong to the Imperial Medical Office."
Yun Chu said in confusion: "How can a doctor with such skills be a cruel official?"
The middle-aged man smiled and stopped talking, but continued to peel off the skin on Wei Zhenxuan's arm with a scalpel and tweezers.
Yun Chu could see very clearly that this cruel man had not only peeled off the epidermis, but also the dermis. In other words, he was going to peel off the skin completely from Wei Zhenxuan's body, and he didn't know who he was going to show it to.
Wei Zhenxuan was lying on the table like a wooden block. If it weren't for the slight rise and fall of his chest, Yun Chu thought that this guy was dead for a while... It must be said that the progress of the Imperial Medical Office in anesthesia is very amazing.
"Narcotics come from the southwest. The Imperial Medical Office has not yet disclosed the secret recipe. It is not suitable for disclosure, so don't ask."
Zhou Xing walked out of the depths of the dungeon, his face shone like a ghost as his face was illuminated by the light.
"Who contributed the secret recipe?"
"I heard that Shangguan Wan'er, the seventh-level governor of Nongzhou, used to be called Yun Gui Guan."
"Doesn't her boss Di Guangsi have any objections?"
"No, it was reported step by step."
Yunchu nodded and stopped talking. It was very obvious that Di Guangsi had encountered something in Nongzhou Stone City, so he presented Ziqi Aguo's unique toxin as a gift. It seemed that the target of the gift was the queen.
The old immortal has been researching this toxin for a year and a half, and has yet to find a stable dosage that is harmless to injuries. The queen has begun to use it on a large scale. It has to be said that if safety is not considered, society will Development will more than double.
Yunchu knew how King Xian of Ying protected Wei Lian'er at the Yun family in Luoyang. That time, the queen gave her silly son some face and took the initiative to give in.
From the moment the queen gave in, Yun Chu knew that Wei Lian'er might not end well. Unexpectedly, the queen didn't even want to let Wei Lian'er's father go.
In this way, Yun Chu knew more or less where Wei Zhenxuan's human skin was. It should have been used as a mattress for Wei Lian'er to make a bed.
Yun Chu was not afraid of the queen because he and the emperor and the queen were old acquaintances and got along well with each other. Yun Chu did not deliberately hinder the queen from developing her own power.
Yu Xiurong was not afraid of the queen because she not only raised Li Si, but also educated the prince for a while. When raising the two children, she did not deliberately alienate them from the queen, so the queen had no intention of dealing with her.
Yun Jin, Yun Jin, and Yun Luan did not show any fear when they met the Queen, and they were more friendly. This was done deliberately by the Queen in order to deepen the relationship with the Yun family.
Except for the Yun family, others generally call the queen - Queen of Heaven!
Breaking out of the small circle of Yunshi, no one in the world is afraid of this queen.
All the concubines in Emperor Li Zhi's harem died at this time.
Sun Wuji, the noble eldest son of the Tang Dynasty, died.
Many royal families of the Tang Dynasty died because of this.
The Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty died like this.
Just Wei Zhenxuan being skinned is not a big deal.
As Yun Chu stood there, the pale-faced doctor used the wrong knife several times, leaving some flaws in Wei Zhenxuan's skin. Under the pleading eyes of the doctor, Yun Chu and Zhou Xing left the skinning site.
Everything must be done professionally, and Yun Chu cannot destroy his craftsmanship.
"Wei Zhenxuan's affairs cannot stand up to scrutiny. He has been accustomed to doing evil in the Jingzhao area for many years. According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, even being quartered by five horses is not enough to avenge him. He will be skinned. Although it slightly deviates from the spirit of the law, it is not What’s worse, this kind of fate is enough to serve as a warning to those who come after us.”
Yun Chu looked at Zhou Xing and said, "The law seems to be very flexible in your mouth."
Zhou Xing patted his chest and said, "My heart to eliminate harm for the people has never changed."
Yun Chu snorted and said: "If one day I am your chief judge, I will put you in that big jar you made, light a fire under it and roast you to see if you can do anything?"
Zhou Xing said expressionlessly: "Hit!"
Yun Chu looked at Zhou Xing strangely and said, "Don't you regret it?"
Zhou Xing shook his head and said: "I will not die well, but future generations will also remember this person from a certain family."
Yun Chu sighed and said: "Okay, okay, you are the real officials who are willing to risk your lives to be an official. I am not as good as you, so I just think about how to live a long life."
Zhou Xing smiled and said: "If you want to live a long life, you'd better stay away from the Sixteenth Guards of Chang'an."
Yun Chu shook his head and said: "The army should be well organized. Everyone knows what the army is used for. Only how many properties and beauties do ordinary people have at home? Those who really need the protection of the army are the rich and the nobles." , are those who think they are superior. Their families have more property, more beauties, and more things that need the protection of the army.
The wise man is the commander, the brave man is the general, and the man who is not afraid of the dead is the vanguard.
Why can't those people understand such a simple truth?
They had to send their useless children to the military camp, and once they entered, they had to surpass those wise, brave, and fearless people to become their superiors. When the enemy appeared, they did not have enough wisdom to come up with a good enough way to resist the enemy, nor did they have enough courage to fight the enemy face to face, and they did not have the determination to live and die with the city.
Zhou Xing, I have never thought of protecting corrupt officials in the army.
Even if I intervene, I will only kill more people. "
Zhou Xing breathed a sigh of relief, shook his sleeves and said: "You can rest assured that I will not let any black sheep go. "
Yun Chu smiled and said: "Notify me when the execution is carried out, and I will come to watch the ceremony. "
Yun Chu made his position clear, and the most comfortable person was Zhou Xing.
Over the years, the Yun family's relationship in Chang'an has been intertwined and deeply rooted in every aspect of Chang'an. If Yun Chu tried to stop it, Zhou Xing would most likely not find anything in the barracks, and the possibility of returning empty-handed was too great.
Now that Yun Chu stayed out of the matter, Zhou Xing was confident that he could open a gap in the Sixteen Guards and finally wipe out the bad apples in the army.
When General Manager Ruichun entered Chang'an City, there was only their team on Zhuque Street in an instant.
Black high crown, ochre-red cape, slim leather armor under the cape, fine horses under their crotch, and swords on their waists that push up the cape, making these eunuchs look even more majestic.
The horses' hooves clattered, and the war horses twisted their fat buttocks and stepped on the sandy road in the middle of Zhuque Street. The wine glass in Li Shen's hand fell to the ground, making a loud clanging sound.
He was stunned for a long time, leaned over to pick up the golden cup that had fallen on the ground, refilled it with wine, and said to the musicians and singers who were also shocked and forgot to sing and dance: "Continue playing music, continue dancing. "
Yun Chu watched as Chief Eunuch Ruichun stopped in front of him. Behind him, officials from Wannian County were already kneeling on the ground.
Looking at Ruichun, whose face was ruddy and whose temples were slightly frosted, Yun Chu's mind immediately went back to some movies about eunuchs he had seen a long time ago.
Those images, which had been beautified on stage, blended perfectly with the appearance of Chief Eunuch Ruichun.
It seems that Li Zhi's eunuchization of the Hundred Cavalry Division has been completely completed.
Appointing eunuchs is actually a sign of weakness for an emperor, indicating that the emperor can no longer think about his own safety with normal thinking, and can only use eunuchs in a nearly humiliating way to ensure that these people can be loyal to him.
In fact, whether there is two taels of meat under the crotch is very important for loyalty It has no effect. Yunchu feels sad when he thinks that Li Zhi has fallen to this point.
Twenty years ago, Li Zhi could keep his guards away from him, and he and Yunchu could wander in the cotton fields, looking at the endless cotton fields, and discuss with Yunchu the possibility of killing Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje.
The two of them could even compare the escaping mice to Turks.
Now, Li Zhi wants to rely on these guys without balls to ensure his safety. It has to be said that this is a big joke.
Yunchu now hopes that Li Hong will not be such a coward after he ascends the throne.
Facing Ruichun, Yunchu's figure is as straight as a spear.
Feeling the strong murderous aura emanating from Yunchu, Ruichun jumped off the horse and said to Yunchu: "General, please don't be polite."
Yunchu said: "I have no intention of saluting at all."
Ruichun said: "I am an angel, showing the majesty of the emperor. "
Yun Chu looked at Rui Chun and said, "I know the majesty of the emperor and have felt it, but I find it a little funny when it is shown in you."
Rui Chun looked at the angry Yun Chu in confusion. He really didn't understand where Yun Chu's rage came from.
Seeing that Yun Chu was a little unreasonable, Rui Chun took the lead to walk to the Wannian County Government Office, and said as he walked, "Let's find a quiet place to talk."
Yun Chu snorted coldly, and then took Rui Chun to his official residence.
Rui Chun poured himself a cup of tea, and said as he drank, "You used to be a very thoughtful person, why have you become so upright now, like a young man, more like the mature and steady General Yun."
Yun Chu sat behind the desk and said, "Because of disappointment."
Rui Chun thought for a moment and said, "Among the people that His Majesty can trust today, you, Yun Chu, can be in the top three."
Yun Chu said coldly, "I don't believe that there is anyone in this world who can hurt His Majesty, so what is His Majesty afraid of? "
Ruichun sighed and said, "Your Majesty is seriously ill, one eye has been blind, and he has been bedridden for a long time. He does not know enough about the outside world, so he can only hold on to the people around him.
It is also human nature to use eunuchs. "
Yunchu was silent for a long time, slowly raised his head and said, "Your Majesty should believe that I will not interfere in the affairs of the Sixteen Guards."
Ruichun smiled and said, "I believed it before, but later after you wiped out seven or eight insignificant farms, His Majesty felt it necessary to send me here to tell you, so as not to let you have the illusion that you are a big shot."
Yunchu frowned and said, "Ji Wangshen and the others can't do anything, and it's useless to kill them."
Ruichun said in surprise, "Your Majesty has no intention of killing them."
Yunchu sneered and said, "I judged from the Wu brothers and Zhou Xing's behavior that someone wanted to kill those useless royal family members."
Ruichun looked at Yunchu and said, "What does this have to do with you? "
Yun Chu waved his hand and said: "After killing the few remaining royal family members, who is the one who deserves to die next?"
Ruichun shook his head and said, "I don't know."
