At the entrance of the Commander's Mansion.
Liu Bang and Zhang Liangzheng craned their necks and waited at the door, fearing that some bad news would come back. They became even more anxious when they heard that all the officials had left, leaving only Ran Fang in the palace.
Finally, before their patience ran out, they saw Ran Fang's carriage heading in this direction. Judging from the coachman's expression, it was obvious that Ran Fang was safe.
They hurriedly greeted him and personally helped Ran Fang get out of the carriage.
"Sir, Your Majesty is not giving you any trouble, is he?"
"All the ministers came out and left you in the palace. We thought something had happened."
"I hope you come back safely, sir! I hope you come back safely!"
Listening to their concerned words, Ran Fang almost wanted to laugh. These people were really worried.
Judging from the way they work, they are about to catch up with Wei Liang. If they don't want to be guards in the future, entering the palace is a good choice.
"Don't worry, this matter has been resolved."
"What about those two people?"
Zhang Liang spoke immediately and replied: "According to your instructions, I have been locked up."
"Sir, do you want to see them?"
Ran Fang paused for a moment and then said, "No need."
"Fifty lashes for each person will help them remember what to say and what not to say in the future!"
"Then let the government doctor help them prepare some medicine so as not to kill anyone."
Ran Fang proposed whipping, which involves hanging a person by his hands so that his toes can just touch the ground, and then hitting him hard with a special whip.
It was originally used to deal with the prisoners in the prison, but later Ran Fang thought it would be good to use it to punish the guards who made mistakes in the mansion, but it would not hang people so high, and the whip would be an ordinary whip.
But the executioners are well-trained, and most people cannot bear fifteen lashes. For them, fifty lashes are already very heavy.
This punishment is neither light nor severe, especially for Jiang Guangqi. If he doesn't have a handle on his words, he should be kicked out of the commander's office directly.
Now that Ran Fang is willing to give him a chance, he must be grateful.
Zhang Liang originally wanted to plead for him, but now that he heard Ran Fang's punishment, he quickly replied: "Here!"
That tone sounded like he was afraid that Ran Fang would regret it.
"Okay, all of you, please step aside. I have other things to deal with."
After saying that, Ran Fang walked forward directly, leaving Zhang Liang and Liu Bang stunned, as if they did not expect Ran Fang's tone to be so cold.
Zhang Liang, who was a little worried, waited until Ran Fang was completely gone before he whispered: "Brother Liu, do you think my lord was scolded by His Majesty in the palace?"
"Why do you look worried when you come back now?"
Zhang Liang thinks more carefully about some things than Liu Bang, but when it comes to human relations, Liu Bang sees things more clearly than Zhang Liang.
Looking at Ran Fang's posture just now, it was obvious that he was not angry, but thinking about a problem.
"Won't."
"I think His Majesty secretly told your Excellency something, and now Your Majesty is worried about it."
"You and I won't bother you anymore today. If there is anything you and I can discuss, we can handle it."
"The execution of the two of them will be done directly in the yard, so that everyone can remember it for a long time, and then you will send the two of them back."
Zhang Liang was still thinking about Ran Fang and nodded without noticing what Liu Bang said.
By the time he reacted, Liu Bang had already left the house and left this matter directly to him.
"Running away again?"
"You're pretty fast on things like this, and you're more proactive than anyone else when good things happen!"
With that said, he still took the guards to execute the two men.
Jiang Guangqi, who was locked up, thought he was going to be kicked out this time, but when Zhang Liang came, he said that he would only receive fifty lashes, and that the government doctor was already waiting there. He suddenly felt grateful in his heart.
"let's hit!"
"No mercy!"
"I deserve this!"
Seeing how strong he was, Zhang Liang nodded with satisfaction, "Okay!"
"Pull out!"
Before Wu Lecheng could wipe the blood off his head, he was taken out by the guards. Before he could open his mouth to say something for himself, the whip had already fallen.
"ah!"
"ah!"
"..."
Waves of shrill screams rang out in the courtyard, and the surroundings were surrounded by guards who Zhang Liang called over to see. Everyone had expressions of unbearable sadness, and they all remembered the rules of the commanding envoy's palace.
But looking at Jiang Guangqi, he clenched his teeth and remained silent, with his trembling figure and back covered with blood, one had to admire his tenacity.
By the time the fifty lashes were finished, both of them had fainted.
Zhang Liang stepped forward and took a look, only to find that Jiang Guangqi's mouth was full of blood.
He looked at Jiang Guangqi with some distress and whispered: "Why are you doing this?"
"Someone! Send them all back!"
For a moment, the courtyard became quite quiet.
In the evening, lights were turned on in the yard, but the atmosphere in the house was still gloomy. This punishment was a wake-up call for everyone.
Even Su Wan and Xiang Jin were aware of it, and no one dared to go to Ran Fang today.
As the protagonist who was punished today, Jiang Guangqi didn't know these things yet. He was sitting on the bed, naked.
With a slight movement, bursts of pain came from the wounds on his body, making him not sure how to start.
"hiss--"
"ah--"
“Grandma’s land, there’s not even anyone to hand you water!”
"ah-"
Just halfway through shouting "Ah", he saw someone walking in the door, and his originally painful face suddenly changed to a look of joy.
Just as he was about to stand up, he sat down again with an "ah" sound.
"Sir...sir, see you, sir."
Ran Fang walked into the room, took a look at the wounds on his body, and sat on the chair.
"You don't have to get up, just sit down and talk."
"Thank you, sir."
Although Ran Fang said this, he still endured the severe pain and took the clothes on the bed and put them on for a while.
"Thank you, sir, for sparing my life today. This kind of mistake will never be made again in the future!"
"if……"
Before he could finish speaking, Ran Fang waved his hand and stopped showing his loyalty.
"This time it's over. I still have something else for you to do."
Jiang Guangqi was a little excited. He originally thought that after this incident, he was afraid that he would lose trust in Ran Fang and would not be able to use him even if something happened.
Unexpectedly, Ran Fang came to him in person and said that he had something to do.
It’s still so late, so it must be a big deal!
Immediately, he couldn't care less about his pain and stood up so hard that all the features on his face were twisted into buns.
"Please give me your orders!"
"When you recover from your injuries, leave the Commander's Mansion."
"ah?!"
Jiang Guangqi, who was still excited at first, relaxed after hearing these words and fell down on the bed. The wound on his body was pulled again: "Ah——"
"Sir...my lord, this subordinate really realizes his mistake!"
"Don't drive your subordinates away!"
