The upstart of the Tang Dynasty, the dignified Duke of Zhou, fainted from anger. If this was done before, no one could believe it. But the fact is that Helanmin blew out blood and he really fainted from anger.

When Yang saw Helan Minzhi lying on the ground, a hint of unbearableness flashed in her eyes, but when she glanced at Li Hong with a cold face, she said nothing.

Li Hong looked at Helan Minzhi in the hall with disgust and said in a cold tone, "Wake him up!"

After saying that, he turned his gaze to Chang'an County Magistrate Zhang Bo and said, "Mr. Zhang, you can do it yourself."

When Zhang Bo heard the prince's order, his body trembled. He forced himself to hold back the fear in his heart and did not dare to look at Li Hong. He immediately stood up and replied in a low voice, "OK!"

At this time, a personal guard had already lifted a bucket of cold water to the hall. Zhang Bo walked over tremblingly and lifted the bucket with great difficulty. After hesitating for a long time, he still gritted his teeth and poured the water on Helan Minzhi.

In February, the wind was still biting cold in Chang'an City, and a bucket of cold water soaked on Helan Minzhi. Helan Minzhi was shocked and slowly opened his eyes. But after he opened his eyes, he felt his whole body was cold and he understood everything when he saw Zhang Bo standing in front of him with an empty bucket.

Helanmin Yi got up angrily and shouted at Zhang Bo, "Zhang Bo, are you looking for death? How dare you break the cold water for me?"

"Dule of Zhou--" Before Zhang Bo finished speaking, Helan Minzhi had already stepped forward two steps and slapped Zhang Bo.

"Ba"

"Ah--" I saw Zhang Bo standing there without moving, and the wooden barrel was still in his hand. But Helan Minzhi covered his right hand with his left hand and bowed his body constantly. In front of Helan Minzhi, Chen Gong was staring at the prince with murderous intent. Just now, he blocked Helan Minzhi's slap in the face for Zhang Bo. Helan Minzhi's right hand swung hard on Chen Gong's arm guard, which made him so painful.

"Helan Minzhi, do you still have to be so arrogant at this time?" Li Hong asked loudly.

Hearing Li Hong's voice, Helan Minzhi suddenly looked up, stared at Li Hong with cold eyes, and said angrily, "Your Highness, what crime did Minzhi commit? Let you bully me like this?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he glanced at Yang next to Li Hong, then knelt down with a "thump", climbed in front of Yang, and shouted in a choked tone, "Grandma, the prince is using public notice, please make the decision for your grandson!"

Helan Minzhi is not stupid. He knew that Empress Wu was far away in the Daming Palace. Now if he mentioned Empress Wu to Li Hong, it would be useless to suppress Empress Wu, so he could only place his expectations on Yang.

However, before his man climbed in front of Yang, Chen Gong grabbed his left ankle and pulled him to the place where he was lying just now.

Seeing Chen Gong treating Helan Minzhi so roughly, she felt a little reluctant, but she didn't dare to plead with Li Hong, so she could only turn her head and stop looking at Helan Minzhi's miserable appearance.

Seeing that Yang had given up on him, Helan Minzhi shouted at Li Hong, "Crown Prince, aren't you afraid that your aunt will blame you for being so humiliated? Are you afraid that my little sister will tell Your Majesty about what happened today and ask Your Majesty to punish you?"

Yang's family didn't work, and Helan Minzhi had no choice but to use the two cards of Empress Wu and his sister Helan Minzhi.

Li Hong sneered and said, "Do you think the queen and father will blame the orphan? Zhang Bo, please serve the Duke of Zhou in our Tang Dynasty."

"No!" Zhang Bo did not dare to disobey the prince's orders, so he ran out of the hall with a wooden barrel. After a while, he walked into the hall with a bucket of ice water in a panting. Seeing this, Chen Gong signaled the two guards to hold down Helan Minzhi. Zhang Bo gritted his teeth and poured another bucket of cold water on Helan Minzhi.

"Ah! It's so cold, I'm almost cold!"

This bucket of cold water soaked Helan Minzhi's clothes at once. Helan Minzhi's frozen teeth rattled, and he didn't have much strength to get angry anymore.

At this time, two personal guards tied Helan to the hall, "Your Highness, you are here."

Helan knelt in the hall with a "ordinary" sound, cried and begged for mercy to Li Hong, "Your Highness, please spare your life! This is not my business, it is all Helan Minzhi instructed me to do this."

The hatred for Li Hong and the pride that he had followed Helan Min was gone.

Li Hong ignored He Lanchong's plea, but asked Zhou Xing, who was nervous and said, "Zhou Xing, was he who captured you?"

"Li Lang - Your Highness the Crown Prince, yes, it was him who captured me." Zhou Xing stammered.

He didn't expect that Li Langjun, who would occasionally come to their shop to eat chopped green onion noodles, and then sit under the poplar tree and chat with him would be the current crown prince. This made Zhou Xing both happy and a little nervous.

What is happy is that he has met the prince several times, and if he is appreciated by the prince in the future, he will surely become successful. The nervousness is because the image given to him by Li Hong today subverts his gentleness and elegance when he went to the onion noodle restaurant for dinner, which made Zhou Xing a little scared.

"Hmph——" Li Hong snorted coldly, "In broad daylight, you dare to commit murder and arrest people in Chang'an County. Helan Chong, are you very brave? County Magistrate Zhang, you are the county magistrate of Chang'an County, in charge of Prison Xing and the arrest of theft, and maintain the public order of Chang'an City. Tell me, what crime should Helan Chong punish?"

With a "dong--" sound, Zhang Bo suddenly threw away the wooden barrel and knelt in front of Li Hong and whispered, "Zhang Bo is guilty. Zhang Bo should not deceive His Highness the Crown Prince. He dare not join Helan Minzhi. Please ask His Highness the Crown Prince to bypass Zhang Bo's life!"

"You are still familiar with each other." Li Hong sneered.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw two personal guards tied one of them to the hall. This man was no one else, but the clerk who had just come to the Duke's mansion to inform Helan Minzhi and secretly ran away.

"What do you think Gu informed him in advance to search Helan Minzhi's residence today? He was just to show his strength when you sent someone to deliver a letter to Helan Minzhi." Li Hong said lightly, "Before, Gu had suspected Chang'an County Magistrate Cui Yuan and Chang'an County former Liu Zhubo, but he had never doubted you. He didn't expect you to be the chess piece arranged by Helan Minzhi in the Chang'an County Government."

The moment Zhang Bo saw the clerk, he knew that he was finished. The only chance to survive was to hold the prince's thigh and bit Helan Minzhi hard. Therefore, he begged for mercy loudly and said, "Your Highness, your highness is willing to testify against Helan Minzhi. If you know your guilt, please forgive me!"

"You are with Helan Minzhi. You will send someone to interrogate those illegal and irregular things you do later. But now you can talk about what crimes should Helan be punished?" Li Hong asked impatiently.

"It should be, it should be, I should be poached for 80 years and be exiled for ten years." County Chief Zhang replied tremblingly.

Seeing that the prince kept silent after answering, he felt a little nervous. Did he say that he was too rude? But this was already very serious. After all, Helan Chong only arrested Zhou Xing and imprisoned for two days, and did nothing! However, in order to survive, he didn't care about so much and added, "But if the circumstances are serious, he can be a hundred sticks and a military force for 30 years."

After hearing this, Li Hong ordered, "Chen Gong, execute the execution!"

"No!" Chen Gong accepted the order.

He ordered two personal guards to press Helan Chong on the hall, then tore off a piece of clothing from Helan Chong and stuffed his mouth, nodding slightly to the Chang'an County yamen runners beside him. The two Chang'an County yamen runners took the order, raised the wooden stick, and slammed Helan Chong's butt hard.

The reason why Chen Gong asked the yamen runners in Chang'an County to execute the execution was because he knew that these yamen runners were used to doing such work. They knew how to beat them to death with two sticks, and how to beat them without killing them.

"Ba—————”

"Ba—————”

Every stick fell on Helan Chong's butt, and Helan Chong shouted. After ten sticks, he saw that Helan Chong's butt had bloomed, and blood oozed through his clothes.

When Yang saw this scene, she could no longer watch it. She asked Li Hong to leave, but Li Hong was not sure, so she could only cover her mouth with a brocade slut. When Helan Minzhi, who had already known how to search and search, saw Helan's miserable look like a dead pig, her face was already astonished and soft on the ground.

"Ninety-seven"

"Ninety-eight—"

"Ninety-Nine"

"one hundred--"

People kept counting around him. When the 100th stick fell, Helan Chong let out a weak groan and crawled on the ground and stopped moving.

Dead!

This is the result Li Hong wanted. He wanted to shock Yang and Helan Minzhi with the scene of being tortured by Helan.

This is also the reason why Chen Gong asked the Chang'an County yamen runners to execute the execution.

Because no one has the experience like them, he will only kill the prisoner after the 100th stick. The previous ninety-nine sticks were just to make the prisoner suffer more.

"Drag this man down!" Chen Gong ordered the yamen runners in Chang'an County. Two yamen runners took the order and pulled Helan Chong's ankle away from the hall.

"Zhou Xing, are you satisfied with this?" Li Hong asked Zhou Xing.

"Full, satisfied, willing..." Was he beaten to death? Zhou Xing was about to be frightened.

"Who is the next one?" Li Hong said slowly.

Just as Li Hong finished speaking, a person suddenly walked out of the crowd of Duke Zhou's mansion in front of the hall and shouted, "Caughter Zhao Wuji, see Your Highness the Crown Prince."

"Are you?" Li Hong asked in confusion.

Who is this person? What did he suddenly stand up and want to do?

"Your Highness, Cao Min is Helan Minzhi's military advisor. Cao Min knows all the crimes Helan Minzhi committed before. Cao Minzhi is willing to come forward to testify against Helan Minzhi." Mr. Zhao said with a flattering look.

Seeing that the prince did not speak, he whispered two steps closer to the front, "Caomin still knows who your highness is now? How powerful are they? As long as your highness is willing to listen, Caomin should speak out."

"Mr. Zhao, you--" Helan Minzhi saw that Mr. Zhao dared to come out to testify, and was preparing to surrender to Li Hong to continue being a dog. He was angry and wanted to slap Mr. Zhao again, but he was already frozen and numb. He was already extremely afraid, so he could only sit on the ground and curse. As he cursed, blood gushed out, and fell to the ground and did not wake up.

No matter how Zhang Bo accused Helan Minzhi, Helan Minzhi only had a few charges, and his identity was not enough to kill him. But since Mr. Zhao was Helan Minzhi's military advisor, he naturally knew that Helan Minzhi had done everything he had done that he could not see. If Mr. Zhao had accused Helan Minzhi, even if Empress Wu wanted to protect Helan Minzhi, he would probably be powerless.

Thinking of this, Li Hong nodded slightly. He agreed to Mr. Zhao's request. (To be continued)
