Zhao Zheng became even more excited when he heard that the beautiful woman in front of him was Yuan Mou's widow and the apple of the eye of the then Prime Minister Yu Zhong.
He was thinking of giving Yu Zhong a move to defeat the mountain and shake the tiger. Killing his son-in-law Yuan Mou was only the first step, and getting his daughter was the second step.
Glancing at Yu Fan who was begging for mercy in front of him, Zhao Zheng sneered and said:
"What? You said this beautiful little lady is your second sister? Is she the second daughter of Prime Minister Yu?"
Yu Fan nodded repeatedly and said:
"Exactly! Exactly! Your Majesty, the lady in front of you is my second sister, the biological sister of the Queen Mother. We are all a family. Your Majesty, please let her go quickly!"
Unexpectedly, Zhao Zheng said with a straight face:
"It is precisely because we are a family that I cannot let him go! How can we bend the law for personal gain in the military camp? If I set a bad example today, how can I convince the three armies in the future?"
After saying that, Zhao Zheng turned around and asked Xiong Wei, the commander-in-chief of the Zuo Army:
"Commander Xiong, what is your crime for breaking into the military camp without permission?"
Xiong Wei immediately responded loudly:
"Report to your majesty, for breaking into the military camp without permission, I will be whipped fifty times!"
Zhao Zheng immediately pointed at Yu Caiwei and ordered loudly:
"In that case, first tie this little lady to a stool and whip her fifty times!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Caiwei, who had been pampered since childhood, was so frightened that her face turned pale as a sheet. She struggled to look up at Zhao Zheng and asked loudly:
"Hunjun! How dare you do something to me? My father is the prime minister of the dynasty, and my eldest sister is your mother-in-law! According to your seniority, you have to call me aunt when you see me! How dare you do something to me?"
Yu Fan also tried his best to plead with his second sister, and whispered in Zhao Zheng's ear:
"Your Majesty, the second sister also suffered the pain of losing her husband for a while, and then she lost her mind and broke into the military camp without permission. I hope your majesty will be kind to you. If you hurt the second sister, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the Queen Mother and the Prime Minister to deal with it. "
Before Yu Fan could finish speaking, Zhao Zheng turned back and stared at him and asked:
"Are you threatening me?"
After all, Yu Fan had the support of Yu Zhong, so he still had some confidence and said bravely:
"The general is just telling the truth."
Zhao Zhengze sneered:
"Not to mention you, even if the Queen Mother and the Prime Minister come in person today, Mrs. Yu will not be able to escape a whip!"
"Not only that, I will also execute the execution myself!"
"I just want you to know that in this army, discipline is paramount! If anyone violates the discipline, I don't care who your father is or who your sister is! Even the King of Heaven will still be punished!"
Having said this, Zhao Zheng jumped down from the military parade platform, pointed at Yu Caiwei and said, "Tie her to a stool for me!"
The soldiers on both sides quickly obeyed and tied Yu Caiwei to a stool.
Zhao Zheng stretched out his big hand and said sternly: "Bring me my riding whip!"
The eunuch beside him quickly handed over the riding whip respectfully.
Zhao Zheng tightened his grip on the riding whip and waved it in mid-air.
Snapped--!
There was an explosion,
Yu Caiwei was so frightened that her face turned pale, and her delicate body couldn't stop trembling. But at this moment, she still refused to give in. She tied herself to a stool and shouted loudly:
"Hunjun! You killed my husband, and you also bullied me, a widow! Just wait for me, my father and my sister, they won't let you go! Hunjun! Hunjun!"
Zhao Zheng smiled coldly and said sternly:
"Put it up for me! I'm going to execute you!"
As he spoke, he waved the riding crop in his hand and gave Mrs. Yu a hard whip on her pert buttocks!
Snapped--!
"ah--!"
Mrs. Yu screamed, and a blood mark instantly appeared on her white skirt. This shows how hard Zhao Zheng whipped her!
Zhao Zheng didn't show any pity for her, and sneered:
"Mrs. Yu, do you know that you are guilty of breaking into the military camp without permission?"
Yu Caiwei was a tough guy, and she gritted her teeth and shouted loudly:
"The ignorant king has no way! The ignorant king has no way!"
Zhao Zheng curled his lips: "Very good! I just like a fierce woman like you!"
The riding crop in his hand waved again!
Snapped--!
"ah--!"
Yu Caiwei screamed again, and the shrill sound spread throughout the entire camp in the north of the city.
In the blink of an eye, the riding crop in Zhao Zheng's hand had been swung more than twenty times, which made Yu Caiwei's already plump buttocks become even more perky.
The skirt, which was as white as snow before, was stained with shocking blood stains, which looked quite scary.
Even the soldiers in the army were shocked.
At this time, Yu Caiwei, who was in pain, finally gave in and no longer dared to call Zhao Zheng a foolish king. Instead, she changed her words and screamed for mercy:
"Your Majesty, spare your life! Your Majesty, spare your life!"
"I know I'm wrong! I know I'm wrong!"
Zhao Zheng continued to whip the little widow and asked in a deep voice:
"You know you're wrong? Where did you go wrong? Tell me!"
Yu Caiwei turned her eyes white in pain and said inarticulately:
"I shouldn't... I shouldn't break into the military camp without permission, let alone speak rudely to His Majesty!"
Zhao Zheng nodded with satisfaction and said:
"It seems that you have indeed realized your mistake. Yes, you shouldn't. You shouldn't break into the military camp without permission, and you shouldn't be rude to me! Fifty lashes are the price for your mistake!"
Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, a loud voice suddenly sang from outside the military camp in the north of the city:
"The Prime Minister is here!"
When they heard that Prime Minister Yu Zhong actually came to the scene in person, all the soldiers were extremely nervous!
During this day, Zhao Zheng first beheaded Yu Zhong's son-in-law, and then beat Yu Zhong's daughter. If the score was settled, the world would be in chaos.
As soon as Yu Fan, who was hiding aside, heard that his father was coming, he immediately felt confident. His obedience to Zhao Zheng just now was just an act, but now that his father was backing him up, he stood up and blocked Zhao Zheng. In front of Zheng Zheng, he said loudly:
"Stop fighting! My father is here! If you dare to hit my sister again, be careful that my father will make you unable to eat and carry you around!"
Soon enough, Prime Minister Yu Zhong's sedan arrived at the camp in an instant. Surrounded by two rows of guards, Yu Zhong, dressed in a python robe, stepped out of the sedan.
"That's unreasonable!"
"I was just handling government affairs in the study, and suddenly I heard that someone had beheaded my son-in-law, the right-wing lieutenant general of Da Gan—Yuan Mou!"
"Who is so bold that he dares to kill my loyal minister! Stand up for me!"
He said this just for Zhao Zheng to hear. In fact, he already knew that it was Zhao Zheng who killed Yuan Mou.
After saying this, Yu Zhong immediately put on an air of being unreasonable and unforgiving, waiting for Zhao Zheng to come over and admit his mistake.
As a result, Zhao Zheng did not wait, but instead heard a shrill voice coming from not far away:
"Father! Father makes the decision for his daughter...Daughter...Daughter is going to be beaten to death by this foolish king..."
