~8 min read 1,581 words

No, you, Great Governor Chen, actually know what "relatives hiding for each other" means... Liu Bingzhong heard Chen Yan's righteous nonsense, twitched the corners of his mouth, couldn't help but complain in his heart, his face remained unchanged, and he immediately responded: "Obey!"

Immediately, he turned his head and shouted to the outside of the door: "Come here!"

At that moment, Liu Bingzhong was really a bit unable to hold it...

How many of his own cases had he handled?

He didn't even know who was the one who killed a fellow with one blade...

"Here."

The Jingzhao Prefecture clerks who followed walked into the room quickly.

"Chen Gubai committed adultery with the Ning family woman and framed the Governor of the Mingjing Si..."

Liu Bingzhong didn't pause at all, cleared his throat, and said in a deep voice: "First impose castration, throw him into the big prison for a year and a half, and then behead him in public!"

He paused, glanced at the woman crying like rain on the bed, and continued: "Ning Chuyou, beaten eighty-seven times, imprisoned for a year and a half!"

"Obey." The Jingzhao Prefecture officials nodded in response.

"Governor Liu's verdict is really interesting..." Pei Xilou smiled mockingly, secretly thinking in his heart.

Normal sentencing has always been to choose the heaviest item and impose punishment.

As a result, this Governor of Jingzhao Prefecture actually stacked the punishments, and then executed him after playing enough...

Mainly pure torture!

No matter how you look at it, it looks like a certificate of allegiance to his brother-in-law...

"Dad, Dad, save me!"

Chen Gubai felt a chill in his crotch, looked at Chen Tongyuan, tried to grab the last straw, and shouted anxiously: "This child doesn't want to be castrated and become a eunuch, and I don't want to die!"

He clearly knew that at this very moment, the only one who could save him was his old father...

"Dad, my daughter's body, let alone eighty-seven beatings, can't even take twenty..."

"Please think of a way for your daughter!"

Ning Chuyou cried until her eyes were red and swollen, looking at Ning Zheng while sobbing.

Eighty-seven beatings were enough to beat her to death...

Thinking of that bloody appearance and the pain in the process, Ning Chuyou was full of fear...

"Gubai, don't be afraid!"

Chen Yan's mouth rose slightly, he looked at Chen Gubai with great interest, pressed his hand lightly, and comforted: "This elder brother has first-class craftsmen in the Mingjing Si, the cutting is clean and neat, cut off from the root, there won't be too much pain..."

Whether the Mingjing Si has craftsmen good at castration, Chen the Great Governor really doesn't know...

But there are Embroidered Attire Envoys good at random strumming!

Guaranteed to make Comrade Chen Gubai feel at home!

Chen Tongyuan stepped forward, blocked the Jingzhao Prefecture clerks, looked at Chen Yan, and played the emotional card: "Chen... A-Yan, Gubai is your brother, your own brother!"

"Can't you raise your hand high and forgive him this once?"

He emphasized the word "own" heavily.

As if deliberately highlighting something...

"Duke of Wei, this Governor knows you love your son..." Chen Yan saw this and said earnestly.

He paused, changed the subject, and continued: "But your precious son committed a national crime, I have already made it clear to you just now!"

Looking like he was impartial.

"Chen Yan, what do you want this time?"

Chen Tongyuan gritted his teeth, lowered his voice, and said: "Just say it directly, don't beat around the bush..."

After so many things before, Chen Tongyuan had long had a deep understanding of his current temperament, and could even be said to be accustomed to it.

He just wanted to extort!

At worst, spend money to eliminate the disaster!

"Duke of Wei, listening to what you mean, are you trying to bribe this Governor in public?"

But Chen Yan's reaction this time was unexpected; he was first startled, then raised his tone, and said reasonably: "What kind of person do you take this Governor for!"

"This Governor is clean and upright, open and aboveboard, how can I accept your bribe, and in front of everyone!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed directly at Chen Tongyuan.

In a questioning posture.

As if he were extremely angry at such behavior.

"Duke of Wei, for your actions today, Pei will report you to the Imperial Censorate!"

Pei Xilou took over the conversation and added a knife at the right time.

Although he didn't know what goal his brother-in-law wanted to achieve, as a brother-in-law, he must help the scene...

"You... you...!"

Chen Tongyuan looked at this scene and was really angry.

How could you say that?

How little has Chen Yan accepted?

Clean and upright? Open and aboveboard?

Truly shameless!

And there was another one helping to make trouble...

Hongye used her elbow to nudge Zhu Yi, who was watching the fun with great interest, and asked silently with lip language: "Why doesn't he blush at all?"

"Our Young Master has thick skin!" Zhu Yi shrugged and replied silently with lip language.

He had long been accustomed to these operations of the Young Master...

"Duke of Wei, you are a high-ranking official of the court, you should destroy your relatives for the sake of righteousness and set an example for the world!"

Chen Yan held his head high, looked at Chen Tongyuan, and said loudly and righteously.

He paused and advised earnestly: "Anyway, if one son dies, aren't there plenty of other sons..."

Said in such a light and airy way.

"Stop talking that high-sounding bullshit..."

"Is there really no room for maneuver?"

Chen Tongyuan couldn't listen anymore; what do you mean if one dies, aren't there plenty?

Eating lamp grass ash, letting out light farts.

It's not your legitimate son being killed, so you don't feel heartache, right?

"If you want to save Chen Gubai's life, it's actually not impossible..."

Chen Yan put his hands behind his back, smiled mockingly, and said playfully.

"Don't sell it short, just say what you want!" Chen Tongyuan knew that this wicked obstacle was going to open a price; the reason he talked nonsense before was just to sit on the ground and raise the price, and urged.

"Gubai is this Governor's brother, this Governor can not care about him..."

Chen Yan scanned Chen Gubai, who was trembling on the bed, and smiled.

He paused, changed the subject, and continued: "But committing adultery with a woman is a serious crime!"

"Unless, he marries her..."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed directly at the woman in the corner.

"Let Chen Gubai marry me?"

"Marrying into the Duke of Wei Mansion is not bad..."

Ning Chuyou, who was pointed at, revealed a trace of joy, and calculated secretly in her heart.

Whether marrying the eldest Chen son or the third Chen son, it was her climbing high...

Avoiding the beating, and being able to marry high into the Duke Mansion, no matter how you look at it, it's a profit!

"Father, I don't want to marry Ning Chuyou..."

Chen Gubai glanced at the excited Ning Chuyou and said in a deep voice.

Except for her appearance and figure being okay, this woman's family background didn't match him at all...

He, Chen Gubai, wanted to marry a woman from the Six Surnames!

"Slap!"

But before he could finish speaking, Chen Tongyuan's slap arrived first, scolding: "You thing that doesn't know the importance, where is there room for you to choose now?"

Still picking and choosing?

Not marrying is death, or first becoming a eunuch, then extreme punishment...

He paused, turned to look at Ning Zheng, who was a bit dizzy from the pie falling from the sky, and asked: "Lord Ning, are you willing to agree to this marriage?"

"Agree, agree!"

Ning Zheng's eyes lit up, and he agreed fully without a moment's hesitation.

With the status of the Ning clan in Chang'an, wanting to marry into the Duke of Wei Mansion was no different from a daydream, even if it was marrying a daughter as a concubine, they might not look at it...

Now that this heaven-sent opportunity had come, how could he not grasp it?

"Hahahaha!"

"Then set the wedding date early..."

Chen Yan laughed heartily, bowed to Chen Gubai, and said, "This elder brother congratulates Third Brother on finding a good wife!"

"You!" Chen Gubai glared, gritting his teeth.

Killing and then punishing the heart!

Night.

On the way back to the Governor's Mansion.

Chen Yan admired the full moon and ordered: "Zhu Yi, let You Xian spread the news of what Chen Gubai did word for word!"

"Go to the New Duke Mansion and deliver my visiting card for tomorrow!"

Zhu Yi was startled and puzzled: "Young Master, your wedding is imminent, and you still want to visit the New Duke?"

This New Duke was none other than Wang Zheng, the father of Wang Xiong who had previously followed Chen Yan to suppress bandits in Jingzhou, and one of the Twelve Great Generals under the Old Master.

"Can you guess why Young Master I wanted to use their own trick against Chen Gubai, and even deliberately showed mercy and let him go?" Chen Yan smiled mockingly and asked back.

Did you really think Chen was soft-hearted and brotherly?

Hongye blinked and said: "Young Master did all this for the old troops of the Pillar State to see!"
