"Acknowledge it?"

Jiang Baijian said in a deep voice: "It's OK to admit it!"

"General..." Xie San hurriedly said: "He has taken over the important matters in the army. After killing him, he will inevitably have omissions. If there are indeed omissions, the things that happened there will not be dozens of lives. Now the general's anger is not Zhao Xu's life alone."

When Jiang Bojian heard this, his face became colder.

He thought quietly for a moment before looking at Zhao Xu with a cold look.

"You killed thirty-two people this time."

"On the battlefield, I want you to kill 320 enemies with your own hands and make the punishment of your merits."

"But now, death penalty can be avoided, and living penalty cannot be spared."

Jiang Baijian stretched out his hand and waved it, saying, "Beat him thirty-two sticks."

Xie San breathed a sigh of relief and shouted, "Don't you thank the general?"

Zhao Xu knew that his life was saved this time, but he was in a low mood. He just lowered his head slightly and bowed his hand and said, "Thank you, General."

...

Thirty-two staffs!

The Jiang family's mansion was still using a military scepter.

For ordinary people, thirty-two sticks can endanger their lives. Some people may die, some may suffer from paralysis. Even if some people have a slightly better physique, they will have to lie on for a long time and take care of themselves, but they will most likely leave some root cause afterwards.

However, for Zhao Xu, who has achieved great internal strength, it is only a punishment that is slightly easier to remember.

However, these more than thirty sticks were heavier by Xie San, who also had internal strength.

After the poker was punished, Zhao Xu's injuries were not light. At least in the past ten days and half a month, he still needed to take a careful rest.

"Don't blame the general."

Xie San helped Zhao Xu and said lightly: "Thirty-two lives will be exchanged for thirty-two sticks, so you will naturally make a profit... Of course, your guilt has not passed, I just wait for you to lose your merits in the future."

Zhao Xu nodded slightly, then said in a deep voice: "You hit me with thirty-five sticks."

Xie San's expression remained, and said, "Well, I took my own initiative and beat a few more poles."

Zhao Xu was silent and asked, "You can't have hit three more poles for no reason."

Xie San said: "Because I think you should fight."

Zhao Xu fell into silence.

Xie San suddenly asked, "What do you think is wrong?"

Zhao Xu pondered for a moment and said, "It is enough to kill the evil people. It should not be a big killing to hurt the innocent. In addition, for a moment of passion, he took action without finding out, and he mistakenly killed others."

Xie San said calmly: "That's just two points?"

Zhao Xu asked back: "What else?"

"You trampled on the laws of Shu."

Xie San said in a deep voice: "As a soldier, you could have reported this matter with your identity, but in the past ten years, you still can't change the habits of the world and act recklessly. In the law of Shu, there is a saying that heroes violate the ban with martial arts. This punishment is extremely serious. Even if you did not hurt the innocent this time and did not kill others by mistake, you would have violated the law."

Zhao Xu heard this and did not reply.

Xie San continued, "No rules can lead to a square or a circle. If you are still from Shu, you cannot violate this precept. Otherwise, do you think you are a god who is transcendent to the world?"

Zhao Xu showed a deep thought and said, "No rules can lead to a circle... I will think about this."

Xie San nodded slightly and said, "In addition, you are a general's subordinate. You also know the general's situation now. He is struggling, afraid that if you are not careful, you will lose someone's handle."

"This time you have committed a serious crime. If you are known to the court, the general will inevitably have a crime of being lax in his rule."

"And this crime can be either big or small. To be small, it will be a little scolded by the emperor. If it is big, it is okay to demote the general to a higher level. Now the emperor is very disliked by the general, and perhaps he will be punished to be big and demoted the current position of the general."

"What's more, if you haven't killed you now, once it's reported, you will inevitably have a charge of shelter, and the punishment will definitely be heavier."

"In addition... if this matter is spread to the people, your subordinates will act recklessly, and the general will cover up the sinners, and fall into the ears of those people who have already complained about defeat, it will inevitably be even more unfavorable to the general's reputation."

"From the Prime Minister Ge, Shu Kingdom acted very seriously and the people's will, and it was easy to affect the affairs of the court. If the general really got this reputation, it would be even more unfavorable in the future."

After pausing, Xie Sancai said, "So, after knowing this, I advocated killing you."

Zhao Xu was stunned and looked at Xie San.

Xie San's expression remained unchanged and said lightly: "But I pleaded for you, but I only saw the general's meaning. Over the years, he has valued you quite a lot, but in fact he can't bear to kill you... If I didn't speak just now, maybe he really wanted to kill you, but the general still hoped that I would speak up."

Zhao Xu paused for a moment and said in a low voice: "Thank you."

Xie San said, "Don't thank me, this is what the general means. In addition, your incident this time not only violates the precepts, but also hurts the innocent, which reminds the general of the incident back then. It's not that he is so angry."

Zhao Xu pondered: "That incident back then? Did you capture that hero?"

Xie San said lightly: "During the time of capturing this person, a person named Tian Miao appeared. His skills were unfathomable and he taught us that he had lost a lot of people."

Zhao Xu said: "Tian Miao? I have vaguely heard of this person's reputation."

Xie San nodded and said, "He does have a reputation for chivalrousness in the martial arts world, but now it seems that he should be a cultivator, not a martial arts practitioner. This person calls himself chivalrous and also values ​​those so-called sincere people. Regarding the incident back then, he felt that the hero was a leader and killed evil people. Although it affected innocent people, he was also a chivalrous person, so he took action to stop him... After thinking about it carefully, it was the second time that the general had suffered a great loss in his life."

Zhao Xu was silent immediately.

Jiang Baijian was once a general of Liang State, but later was defeated by Ge Xiang, and was abandoned by Liang State. He was finally helpless to return to Shu State.

It is said that this is the first time Jiang Bojian suffered a huge loss.

Before this, Ge Xiang had encountered him for the first time, and he even planned it once. It was because Ge Xiang suffered a small loss that he became loving talent and used the plan of disagreement to tie Jiang Baijian over from Liang State.

"I won't mention the past."

Xie San paused, took out something, and said, "I will deal with the family of the official who you killed by mistake. The other one who survived by chance had ordered people to arrest him. As for the local magistrate, he had been removed from his official position and was sent to prison. The matter was settled... As for this thing, it was the jade bi that the official took away, which was also the real reason for you to commit this matter, but this thing must be handed over to the national treasury. Now you have to take a look, don't suffer dozens of sticks in vain and kill dozens of people. I don't know what the culprit looks like."

While talking, Xie San had already helped Zhao Xu back to his residence, worked hard for him, and then he gave a few more instructions before leaving in a hurry.

The room was quiet.

Zhao Xu lay on the bed, holding the wounded medicine in his hand, his eyebrows and eyes were low.

Suddenly, he glanced at the corner of his eyes and suddenly saw that there was a black talisman in the place where Xie San had placed the jade bi.

"Didn't Yubi be taken away by the Third Master?"

Zhao Xu was stunned and said, "Why did Zhang Fu still leave?"

He frowned slightly, looked around, then took the quilt on the bed, shook it, and covered the table there.

The internal strength is operative.

Let it go and collect it.

The quilt was thrown back.

And the black talisman paper is gone on the table.

The talisman paper is wrapped in a quilt.

He reached out to get it.

The background of the talisman paper is pitch black, the runes are pale and white, which is quite different.

Zhao Xu looked at the black talisman paper and was stunned.

"Aren't the talisman paper all based on yellow paper?"

Zhao Xu frowned slightly and said to himself: "What's it?"

He shook his head slightly, unable to see the clues, so he threw it under the head of the bed and ignored it.

It was getting late outside.

The room gradually became darker.

"I should be able to get up and walk tomorrow."

Thinking of this, countless scenes passed through his heart, and then he felt a little tired and closed his eyes.

Zhao Xu, who was in pain in his body, gradually fell asleep.

Maybe this night, he will have a nightmare.
