Chapter 259 The light of the righteous path shines on the vast land

In the prison chambers of Jiaozhou, Yulin, and Bushan City.

The torch exploded into a lantern, and a fierce light flashed in Shi Hui's eyes.

He said to Lu Xun coldly.

"General Lu, there is a saying in the Tao Te Ching, 'The wind will not last until the morning, and the rain will not last all day.' No matter how strong the wind is, it will not blow for a whole morning; no matter how strong the rainstorm is, it will not last for a whole day."

God, when you attacked my Jiaozhou and slaughtered my people, did you ever think that one day it would fall into the hands of our scholar family?"

"The winner is the king, the loser is the bandit...why bother to say more?" Lu Xun was tied up, and his legs were still numb. He needed treatment, but in the current situation, let alone treatment, he was afraid that he was about to receive a more brutal punishment.

"Blood for blood, tooth for tooth. If you fall into my hands today, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Listening to Shi Hui's words, Lu Xun just stared at him, helpless.

"Someone is coming..."

Just as Shi Hui was about to give the order, Lu Xun asked tremblingly, "Can you tell me, where is my wife? Where is my son? And...and the patriarch of my Lu family, Gongji...he...is he still alive?"

"

"Your son is in another torture chamber!" Shi Hui looked at Lu Xun jokingly, like a villain, and kept laughing wildly, "Haha, what about Lu Ji? What kind of pacer general is he?

All the same, he was smashed into flesh by stones, and some of your Lu family members have already recognized him... As for your wife... Well..."

Shi Hui deliberately hesitated to speak. He was provoking Lu Xun.

"What are you going to do? What are you going to do to my wife?"

"You should take care of yourself first!" Shi Hui ordered: "Come here, twenty sticks!"

The expressionless executioner came over to drag Lu Xun away. Lu Xun waved his hand in disgust, "Don't touch me!"

He suppressed the pride in his heart and the upcoming humiliation and resentment. He knew that resistance was futile. He slowly leaned down on the ground. The torturers on both sides lifted up his robe and raised their sticks to Lu Xun's body.

Knocked off the buttocks and legs.

Although Lu Xun was not pampered, he was still a noble son. It was his first time to undergo such a physical torture. His leg was numb, and the other leg was sore with beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.

He could only grit his teeth and said nothing. The twenty sticks were quickly finished, and there was already a blood stain behind Lu Xun.

The executioner walked away, Lu Xun breathed deeply, knelt down with the trembling support of the wall, and stood up again with difficulty. He looked at Shi Hui coldly.

This obviously did not achieve the effect Shi Hui hoped for.

You must know that after the war between Jiaozhou and the Lu family, the Lu family's army fought and won consecutive battles, and more than a few thousand Jiaozhou soldiers died at the hands of Lu Xun. Shi Hui wanted to avenge them today.

"These twenty sticks are just for General Lu to have a taste and understand that we in Jiaozhou are not easy to bully. Now you know how hard I waited?"

"Your giant crossbow that can shoot eight hundred steps? Where did it come from?" Lu Xun asked, holding back the pain.

"What?" Shi Hui was startled.

Lu Xun smiled lightly, "How can you, Jiaozhou, have such ability to create such a magical weapon? It must be... Huang Laoxie? Right? Right?"

Lu Xun's eyes were sharp, and his words shocked Shi Hui.

Shi Hui suppressed his anger after being seen through and sneered: "General Lu is really admirable. Now that he is in prison, he can still worry about these things? But now that you have fallen into our hands? Can you still get out alive?

?”

"Just think that I want to be a sensible person..." Lu Xun met Shi Hui's stern gaze directly, and he said calmly: "It's not just a giant crossbow? Even... even captured Lu Ji and used him to threaten me, It’s also…that Huang Laoxie taught you, right?”

Shi Hui's face turned green. He did not dare to expose the relationship between Guan Lin and Huang Laoxie. He said coldly: "At this time, if you are still quick to talk, it's no wonder that my heart is as iron as a furnace and my hatred is as strong as a furnace. This person... Hang him up, whip him, and let him talk nonsense!"

Not long after...

The crisp sound of whipping sounded in the execution chamber.

Heavy clouds were billowing in the sky, the sky became dark, and the muffled thunder could be heard faintly.

…

"Ah sneeze——"

Not far away, Shi Xie and Shi were on the official road. They had received news that Yu Lin was guarding and the enemy general Lu Xun was captured alive...

This gave them a brief sigh of relief.

I was amazed at the power of the Eight Ox Crossbow.

I also lamented that after capturing the thief and capturing the king... the war in Jiaozhou finally ended in stages.

But...it was just a moment.

Shibian felt something was wrong, and suddenly thought of a bad thing.

——"This boy Shi Hui won't beat Lu Xun to death, right?"

yes…

This Lu Xun was the person Guan Lin wanted. He was lucky not to die on the battlefield or under the crossbow bolts of the Eight Ox Crossbow, but he must not be beaten to death!

Considering the hatred between Shi Jia and Lu Xun, this possibility exists!

"Ah sneeze..."

Thinking of this, Shi Xie sneezed again.

The scholar quickly urged, "Hurry, faster!"

…

…

At dusk, Mi Fang directed a group of coolies to move stones on the tower of Jiangling City.

Everyone, including Mi Fang, was in ragged clothes...covered in mud. It was obvious that the task of building a new city in Jiangling City was not an easy one.

Money, manpower, geographical environment, city design and planning, city structure, defense...

Weather, time, natural disasters, water supply and drainage systems, road facilities, foundation structure, waterproofing, zoning...

After all, Mi Fang, the governor of Jiangling City and a shrewd businessman, felt overwhelmed for a while. He had to do many things personally before he could understand the specific problems. How to speed up the construction period. If the construction was impregnable.

Speaking of which, after the matter of selling "blood is not wet" to the north was handed over to Fu Shiren, Mi Fang finally had the energy to build this new city in Jiangling City.

Of course, Guan Lin's abundant gold is also an essential condition.

Mi Fang raised her head, looked at the sky, wiped away the sweat, there were tears in her eyes, it was the standard pain and joy. "Hurry, let's see if the weather can last another hour, work harder, dinner will be served in an hour ."

Mi Fang showed rare persistence and city-building talent. For ten consecutive days, the construction of Jiangling City's new city progressed rapidly.

At this moment, after Mi Fang had just directed a wave of coolies to move the stone, a clerk under Mi Fang quietly walked behind him.

"Prefect Mi?"

"What?" Mi Fang recognized this official, who was responsible for purchasing stones for the city's construction, and who was regarded as Mi Fang's confidant.

"Ahem..." The clerk coughed softly, then lowered his voice, "The batch of stones that Prefect Mi was interested in before cost a full fifty thousand gold... It's too expensive, even if the Fourth Young Master Guan has a cornucopia, You can’t waste it like this. Yesterday, I found a batch of slightly inferior quality ones. They look exactly the same as the original ones. If..."

At this point, the official's words stopped abruptly...

Mi Fang's eyes were fixed. He took a step closer to the clerk and lowered his voice, "What do you mean? You changed this batch of stones?"

"Yes!" The civil servant nodded repeatedly, "In this case, wouldn't the extra 20,000 gold go into Prefect Mi's own pocket? Even a small one...also..."

The civil servant looked like he was excited about the money and looked at Mi Fang with joy.

In his view, it was absolutely impossible for Mi Taishou, who was always greedy for money and profit, to give up such a costless and profitable business.

But…

A strange thing happened. Mi Fang was still laughing at first, but at the end of the day, his expression suddenly turned cold.

"How dare you—"

Mi Fang's eyes widened, and he said loudly: "Is it all my fault for enriching my own pockets? If I didn't deal with you, everyone would still think that I, Mi Fang, am a greedy person who is eager for quick success..."

Uh... after hearing Mi Fang's words, the civil servants were stunned.

A word subconsciously came to his mind.

——"Prefect Mi, aren't you?"

"Here comes someone."

Before the clerk could figure it out, Mi Fang shouted.

"Prefect Mi." Immediately, several guards rushed over.

Mi Fang pointed at the official's nose and said, "This man is trying to trick this prefect into cutting corners on the stone materials for building the city and lining his own pockets. This is unreasonable. You guys will take him down and behead him at noon tomorrow as a warning to others!"

ah…

Mi Fang's words made these guards confused. It was indeed a serious crime to bewitch the prefect, but it didn't mean... just beheading him in public, right?

How do these guards know what Mi Fang is thinking?
