Let you be a good grandson, you raise a group of banshees?

Immediately afterwards, Zheng Jingshan crawled out quickly like a dog.

He didn't dare to stand up at all, for fear of accidentally making Lu Yuan angry and giving him a capital punishment.

In other words, give him another whip.

He really couldn't stand it anymore.

Those twenty lashes almost beat him to death.

Today, there is no intact place in his holy temple.

The skin is torn.

Blood flowed.

The severe pain made him feel paralyzed by pain, and the burning sensation made him unbearable. He even wished he could commit suicide and die to avoid such pain.

Liu Lian was overjoyed that the problem was solved.

I never expected that this matter, which was originally so difficult, would be solved so easily by Master Hong Wu.

And only by doing this, Lord Hong Wu, can save the Liu family from danger, and finally enable the Liu family to turn the danger into safety.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for the Liu family to survive for a few days.

Liu Lian, who was very aware of this situation, naturally understood that all this happened today was because of Lord Hong Wu's help.

He knelt on the ground and kowtowed in thanks, "Thank you, Lord, for saving my Liu family from danger!"

When the third lady saw this, she quickly knelt down and shouted, "Thank you, Lord!"

Lu Yuan turned around and sat in the main seat, nodded, "Get up!"

Then he looked at Liu Lian and said in a gentle tone: "Sit down, don't stand stupidly!"

"This is just because I have a good relationship with your father Liu Bowen, and at the same time I think I was too harsh on you."

Speaking of this, Lu Yuan's voice became gentler.

"I used to be bloodthirsty, and due to countless battles, my temper became a bit violent. I hope Liu Aiqing can point out my mistakes."

This sentence directly frightened Liu Lian and he quickly knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, this is serious. All this is a spur to me. I am very grateful. I also hope that your Majesty will continue to spur me to become even better."

Lu Yuan waved his hand and said, "Okay, Liu Aiqing doesn't have to flatter me like this."

"I know very well in my heart that I have been cruel to you."

"This is indeed my mistake."

"What happened today can be regarded as some small compensation for your past!"

As he spoke, Lu Yuan nodded slightly.

But at this moment, Lu Yuan changed the subject, "By the way, when you and I were in private, my blow with the stick didn't hurt you too much, right?"

what?

Liu Lian suddenly raised his head like a frightened bird.

He stared at Lu Yuan with shocked eyes, his face was full of disbelief, and his heart was even filled with fear.

How can it be? He is really Lord Hong Wu!

At this time, Liu Lian was completely shocked.

If he said that Liu Yuan was Lord Hongwu before, he could barely believe it.

Or maybe he was just going downhill.

After all, no one dared to disobey Lord Hong Wu.

But this kind of soul possession thing is as ridiculous as a ghost.

What the Liu family is not afraid of the most is the so-called theories of ghosts and gods, and they do not believe in the so-called theories of ghosts and gods.

So when he heard that Liu Yuan was actually possessed by Lord Hong Wu, Liu Lian burst out laughing.

He never really believed it from the beginning, only half-believed it.

In fact, everything was just because of his fear of Lord Hongwu.

Although it is easy for people to believe what Liu Yuan said is true, in fact, Liu Lian does not believe it at all from the bottom of his heart.

No one, including the third lady and Zheng Jingshan who were present at the time, believed it.

In other words, no one truly believes it from the bottom of their hearts.

But what Lu Yuan said just now made Liu Lian completely give up the idea.

Because on that day, Lord Hong Wu was alone in the palace.

Master Hong Wu directly picked up a stick and hit his leg hard.

The force is strong.

He almost became a cripple with a stick.

All thanks to the fact that he had practiced some martial arts at that time, and his body was strong enough, so he was able to withstand this blow.

Otherwise, he might really be beaten into a disability.

And this matter is known to heaven and earth, and Lord Hongwu also knows it.

In other words, he knew very well that no one else in the world knew anything except the two of them.

And he hasn't told anyone in such a long time.

So he was very confident that no one knew about it.

But what Lu Yuan said made him completely shocked and panicked, and he even felt that the world had become extremely terrifying and incredible.

This matter was so secret that he never told his old father Liu Bowen, so he was constantly used as a messenger.

One is that Liu Lian is afraid that his father will be angry.

With his father's violent temper and cruel strategy, he might be dissatisfied when his son was injured or even beaten, and would directly use various methods to plot against Lord Hong Wu.

If Lord Hongwu is harmed.

By then, the relationship between the two parties will only get worse.

After all, Master Hong Wu is also a smart man.

You can see many of other people's thoughts at a glance.

This is also the necessary element for him to successfully dominate the world.

Even his father Liu Bowen, who is known as a divine fortune teller, once said it himself.

Master Hongwu's ability to see clearly a person's thoughts and tell the truth from falsehood at a glance is the most terrifying.

Even his father Liu Bowen had to praise him.

He also said that it was best not to fight against him, otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous.

For various reasons, he decided to bury this matter in his heart.

In order to prevent his father from being too angry and causing the Liu family to be in danger.

So every time he was beaten in various ways by Master Hong Wu in that palace, and even taken to the heavenly prison for a beating. Before leaving the palace and going home, he would find a place to recuperate first, and send a message that he wanted to fight with him. Have fun with friends for some time.

It's the same reason every time.

His father had no suspicions.

Because Liu Lian also holds an official position in the capital and wants to meet some friends, there is no problem.

So his old father never noticed the problem and took it for granted.

But at this time, Lu Yuan said directly that this was once a secret buried in his heart.

This directly shocked him completely, his psychological defense completely collapsed, and he no longer had any doubts.

At this moment, I felt the majesty of Lord Hongwu.

And when the Liu family was in danger this time, he was powerless, but could only save the fate of the Liu family through Lord Hong Wu.

Only then did Liu Lian feel that this was what it felt like to be helped.

He shouted gratefully, "Thank you Lord Hongwu for coming down to earth and saving my Liu family when they were in trouble."

"I, Liu Lian, will never forget this in my life."

"Even if I get under the Nine Springs, I will definitely serve Lord Hong Wu first."

Lu Yuan nodded slightly, but then he suddenly sneered, "Liu Lian, although you admit your mistake, you don't know where you went wrong."

"This time, I help your Liu family get through this crisis, just because of the friendship between you and me, and my relationship with your old father."

"Although I help your Liu family, if your Liu family has other intentions, I will definitely kill you without mercy."

As soon as these words came out, Liu Lian's eyes suddenly trembled.

He suddenly raised his head and looked at Lu Yuan in fear, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is aware that I have no intention of rebellion, and I have never had any disobedience."

"I don't know why Your Majesty said this. I hope Your Majesty can spare my life."

Listening to Liu Lian's pleading, Lu Yuan sneered.

"You personally sent one of your maids to Zheng Jingshan's bed and let her play with her as she pleased, but you did nothing."

"This style of work really corrupts the Liu family's ethos and tarnishes the national prestige of Liegan!"

"What you do will make others mistakenly think that I, Liegan, no one from top to bottom cares about women, but only treats women as commodities."

"How can you do me Liegan any good by doing this?"

Liu Lian's eyes trembled after hearing what I said.

He lowered his head and shook his head, indicating that he did not know about this and had never done this. But suddenly, he immediately understood what was going on.

Liu Lian suddenly stared at the third lady who was suddenly kneeling next to him with a fierce look in his eyes.

I saw the other party's body trembling suddenly, and he didn't dare to look at Liu Lian at all.

In the end, she could no longer hold on to her psychological defenses, and hurriedly cried and shouted: "Your Majesty, have mercy on me, Your Majesty, have mercy on me!"

"It's all because of your ignorance that you have done such disobedient things. How do you expect the Holy One to spare your life?"

"How could you do such a despicable thing?"

Liu Lian couldn't bear the anger in his heart.

He never expected that the cause of all this trouble was actually the person beside him.

He always thought that Zheng Jingshan was a despicable person and took the initiative to do such a nasty thing in his house.

It was Zheng Jingshan who took the initiative and had nothing to do with his Liu family.

That's why he was so confident and high-spirited before, without even a trace of fear.

But at this moment, the truth discovered shocked him completely.

He knew very well that anyone who did such a thing would not be able to pass the test with Emperor Hongwu.

No matter how you plead, the final result is only the word "death".

For a moment, this fear surged into Liu Lian's heart.

He was completely furious and yelled: "You stupid guy."

Liu Lian directly lifted the third lady's head and slapped her face hard.

A crisp sound of "pop" echoed throughout the house.

The third lady even covered her face with tears streaming down her face.

But before she could react, Liu Lian went crazy and slapped the other person's cheek crazily.

He was originally weak, but now he was like a flashback.

Once to the left, once to the right, a dozen times.

When Lu Yuan saw the three ladies, he thought he saw a pig's head.

The third lady’s cheeks were extremely swollen and red.

Lu Yuan quickly stopped.

"stop!"

The third lady who was beaten into a pig's head howled in pain and even sobbed and choked.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Your Majesty, please forgive me. I know I was wrong."

While she was talking, she saw the fierce look in Liu Lian's eyes and was extremely frightened.

Seeing Liu Lian glance at Lu Yuan again, she suddenly realized.

The third lady quickly turned around and ran to Lu Yuan's feet, kowtowing repeatedly.

She even directly begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty, please forgive me. I already know my mistake. Please let me go. I will never dare to do it again."

Lu Yuan sneered after hearing her confessions.

Then, he turned to look at Liu Lian beside him and said with a smile: "You are now weak, and you use this as an excuse to lie in bed, deaf to what is going on outside the window, and never even know about the situation at home. The servants acted recklessly.”

"What's the difference between this kind of behavior and that foolish king?"

Liu Lian was completely shocked and quickly put his head on the ground without saying a word, not daring to say a word at all.

At that moment, he felt an extreme killing intent condensed out.

It made his body feel as cold as ice and snow, which frightened him to the extreme.

In fact, when he heard the word "Ru Hunjun", he almost collapsed completely.

This is tantamount to comparing his identity with Liu Yuan, that is, Lord Hongwu.

How dare he speak easily? Everything he said at this time was wrong.

Rather than saying anything, it is better to admit your mistake without saying a word.

That means there is still a chance to mitigate this crisis.

Seeing Liu Lian like this, Lu Yuan chuckled.

"This vicious woman has a vicious mind. If she can do such a despicable thing today, I don't know how many things she has done to harm innocent people in the past."

"More than that, if she dared to do this today, you can imagine how many extremely evil things she has done in private."

"To deal with such evil people, they should be killed."

"Your Majesty, please spare my life!" The third lady quickly begged for mercy.

Liu Lian on the side was even more horrified.

He never expected that Liu Yuan's casual words would directly kill the third lady.

But at the same time, he suddenly realized.

After all, this is Lord Hong Wu's style.

He would never tolerate anyone who oppressed the common people or the poor people.

Master Hong Wu could not tolerate a grain of sand in his eyes.

He has always executed the decision directly, otherwise he would not let the common people have the right to directly kill the officials.

As long as the other party is involved in corruption, bribery, or even deliberately crushing civilians, then his head can be cut off, and several people can be brought to Beijing with his head to complain.

As long as the news is indeed true, not only will the civilians not be punished for killing the imperial officials, but they will be rewarded.

Maybe even give them official titles.

This kind of decision-making can be said to have made no one in the entire Liegan Dynasty dare to cause chaos at will.

Those who are officials are even more conscientious and do not dare to commit any corruption, for fear that the results will be disastrous.

When he, Liu Lian, followed Lord Hong Wu to conquer the world, he was deeply influenced by him.

Although his old father Liu Bowen did not deal with Lord Hong Wu, he had always been strict with himself and would never allow his subordinates to use their power to suppress others.

Even he was affected by it, but he didn't expect that when he became the master of the family, because he was weak and could not hear what was going on outside the window, the person next to him would actually do such a ridiculous thing.

He was immediately furious and extremely angry.

This was simply putting his face on the ground and rubbing it hard, which was extremely insulting.

But when he thought about it, these three ladies were his pillow no matter what, and they had treated him extremely well over the years.

And if it weren't for these three ladies, he might have died countless times due to hidden illnesses.

He naturally knew that the third lady had saved his life. How could he just sit back and ignore such a benefactor? He hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please let the third lady go this time."

"She was careless and impulsive. She did indeed do something wrong this time. I am willing to be punished for him and ask for forgiveness from the Holy One."

After hearing this, Lu Yuan smiled lightly.

"In this case, for the sake of you and your father, I can't spare her death."

"However, even so, she will be exempted from the death penalty, but she will not be able to escape the living penalty and will be punished by five lashes."

"And you should forget it this time. It won't be too late to deal with you when I think of a good way."

Liu Lian was immediately surprised when he heard this.

How could he not hear what Lu Yuan said.

As a result, these five lashes were just for show.

Immediately afterwards, as the third lady kept crying and begging for mercy, she was dragged out by two servants.

Listening to the sound of "snap" outside, every whip has the ultimate sound.

Liu Lian was in extreme pain when he heard this.

Lu Yuan's mouth twitched, speechless.

Just because the two servants outside looked like the third lady at this time, they didn't dare to take action. In the end, they just wanted to do it.

Otherwise, over time, Lu Yuan might become suspicious.

The two servants who performed the whipping were also good hands. When the whip returned to the air, it made a loud "snap" sound, which seemed to be very powerful.

But when it was about to hit the third lady, there was only a sound of clothes being torn.

Even at the back, they just hit a few times in the air and that was the end.

This made the third lady extremely panicked.

She knew very well that if she just went back safe and sound, the consequences could be imagined.

In the end, the third lady strongly urged them to leave some traces on themselves.

Otherwise, they will definitely not be spared.

In the end, they had no choice but to use their own special methods to leave some shallow marks on his body.

It looks like a bloody mess, but it's actually just a cover-up.

On it, there is just a trace of real flesh and blood.

But apart from a faint hint of pain, I felt nothing else. (End of chapter)
