Ma Jixiang was scolded by the emperor and knew that the matter was ruined, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong with him.

"Old Bai, do you say I, Lao Ma, are also loyal? I will report it to the emperor without any hesitation in the case. Why is the emperor scolding me?"

Ma Jixiang and Bai Xing were in his mansion, and they made four dishes and asked about their doubts while drinking.

For major issues like this that are related to the government, you will find someone who understands you and solves your doubts, but he just found Bai Xing.

Bai Xing is the head of a guard, and he does something like Bai Daozi goes in and out of Red Daozi. He asks him to kill himself. How can he understand such twists and turns?

However, this guy also has a cleverness, and this incident really made him foolish.

After hearing Ma Jixiang's narration, Bai Xing put one leg on a stool next to him, picked his teeth with a toothpick, frowned and thought for a while, and said, "I guess, the emperor cannot say something clearly. Lord Lu and Lord Huang may mean to do what the emperor cannot say explicitly."

"Can't you say it explicitly? No, just issue an order directly. What else can you be polite to your ministers?" Ma Jixiang shook his head and disagreed with Bai Xing's analysis.

"Old Ma, why do you directly issue an order for things that cannot be said explicitly? Let's give an example, let's talk first, Lao Ma, I'm just an example, don't be anxious. I'm stupid and can't think of any other example. Only this one is more suitable." Bai Xing smiled and said to Ma Jixiang.

"Tell me, I won't be anxious with you." Ma Jixiang didn't think about it any other place.

"For example, your father, don't worry, we can't use the emperor as an example, right? That's too disrespectful. I can only use your father as an example, there is no other meaning."

"It's okay, just say it, your father, your father, your father, you are the same generation." Ma Jixiang was very happy.

"Okay. For example, your father has a fancy to a good daughter, and only you can handle this matter, but it's so easy to say, can he tell you? It's not possible, right? In this case, are you waiting for your father to make clear what you said, or just pretend that you don't know, and take the initiative to send that daughter to your father?" Bai Xing said seriously.

"Come on!" Ma Jixiang slapped his thighs and suddenly realized: "I understand, I understand completely. Of course, I have to do things to my father's heart, that is filial."

Bai Xing burst out laughing and said, "Yes, yes, this is a good son."

When Ma Jixiang saw Bai Xing like that, he realized it and glared at him: "Old Bai, this is the reason, but this is too ugly, right? Hey, why don't you use your father as an example? My father is a father, your father is not a father?"

"I told you a long time ago, are you still anxious?! My father died long ago. Besides, my father is not that kind of person either."

"My father is that kind of person? How do you speak?" Ma Jixiang was really anxious.

"Okay, okay, I'm wrong, okay?" Bai Xing quickly raised his hand to beg for mercy and said good things to admit his mistake.

After a while, Bai Xing said to Ma Jixiang seriously: "Old Ma, I think there is another thing you did wrong in this matter. Think about it, Lord Lu is the chief trialist and Lord Huang is the deputy chief trialist. How to deal with this case should be the main focus. You and Li Yuanyin are responsible for running errands and taking people. You came over and left those three people, and you did a little too much."

"This is right, Lao Bai, I've done too much. No wonder the emperor scolded me for being confused." After Bai Xing's explanation, Ma Jixiang completely understood what was wrong.

He remembered the attitudes of Lu Daqi and Huang Zongxi, but he didn't hate Lu Daqi in his heart, but hated Huang Zongxi: "Whoever is the one with the surname Huang, do you know that you can't do it? You have to play tricks on me like this? You are so foolish? You obviously look down on me, Ma Jixiang. OK, let's take a look!"

Bai Xing saw a trace of viciousness flashing in Ma Jixiang's eyes. He didn't know what he was thinking, but he couldn't help but persuade: "Old Ma, our master is very wise and does not rub sand in his eyes. I am just a knife in the hands of the emperor, and I will slap anyone who I let me slap; you are like a dog of the emperor, you can bite whoever you let you bite. Don't think too much about anything else. It's not good to think too much about these tempting things in the court, like us, we can't play with them."

"Yes, yes, this is right. If you are not a good brother, you can't say such heart-to-heart words." Ma Jixiang nodded, agreeing with Bai Xing's statement very much.

"Oh, no, why are you not a dog? For example, you didn't fight like this, right?"

"I'm a dog too, we're all dogs..."

...

Although Ma Jixiang listened to Bai Xing's advice, his hatred for Huang Zongxi was not reduced at all. Until the next day, he came down to report that the emperor gave Huang Zongxi a chicken, which made Huang Zongxi not sleep well in the middle of the night. He laughed and his hatred was slightly reduced.

...

Under the Three Woods, why can’t you find a confession? Huang Rizhang and others finally convicted of treason and rebellion.

However, Zhu Youlang still treated him differently during the sentencing. Huang Fengyuan was designated as Lingchi, and the others were killed and executed.

The people may have some sympathy for other prisoners, but they do not have any sympathy for traitors. Instead, they hate them even more. Especially the Tartars are colluding with each other, who want to eat their flesh and drink their blood.

Therefore, as soon as the government's notice was released, the people in Guangzhou were angry and scolded Huang Rizhang, Huang Fengyuan and others.

On the day of the execution, the people were crowded with people watching the fun, and surrounded the execution ground. In order to prevent an accident, the prison officer Lu Daqi asked for an order and transferred a thousand imperial guards to come, which maintained the order on the scene.

The people of Guangzhou have only heard of Lingchi's torture, but no one has seen it.

I heard that such punishment is extremely inhumane, and it is mainly applied to prisoners who affect their rule such as treason and rebellion. During the execution, the executioner should slowly cut and cut the sword according to the number of swords designated by the emperor. It cannot be cut in one day, and then cut it the next day. Before the last knife is cut, the prisoner must not be allowed to die.

It is conceivable how much pain the prisoner suffered before his death.

However, not being like this is not enough to act as a deterrent.

Zhu Youlang initially felt that this punishment was too cruel, and he wanted to change it to killing it all. But then he thought that killing it with one knife was pleasant and humane, but this kind of serious crime of treason and rebellion was not severely punished. What should anyone who imitated it later? His small court cannot withstand repeated tossings.

In the end, I made up my mind and set the number of swords to 1,006.

This number of swords still reflects his kind side.
