Pei Zhang was cursing with all his might for having called upon in presence of two demons he clearly wanted to avoid with all his might. Specially Yusheng who already had taught him lesson.
State advisor and royal scholar also felt headaches for being dragged in the matter. They also pitied all the people specially the duke for having landed on qinwangs palm. To have offended not one but two of the strongest authorities was clearly asking for to be bullied.
They arrived almost at the same time. Pei Zhāng had a dark face but reaching the front he quickly went and stood behind his brother after greeting them. He just stood like a very good child making Yusheng nod her head on his behaviour.
The state advisor and royal scholar also stood beside Yusheng after saluting waiting for the show to start and end. They could feel the chills emitting from qinwang who was close to become a demon.
"Umm.. now as everyone has assembled let's start the bullying" says Yusheng very calmly as if it was normal and good thing to bully. Pei Zhang felt his heart jump and pats his chest feeling lucky to have not offended her much to the point of being bullied in public.
Pei Jin knew that Yusheng was taking the matter on her hand to make us image clean in public eye. His heart was all warm and fuzzy wanting to reach her and melt her in his body.
"Earlier.. this Li Si had quite strength to kick the door and throw the pouch.. so have a bench prepared to lay this energetic man and have him given good massage on his hands and legs with bamboo stick.. also his voice was quite high.. make sure that his high voice is heard by all the people" the guards brought by Pei Zhāng immediately dragged Li Si who had tears and snot while begging for mercy.
"This maiden knows how to play with words.. seems she has never ending tears.. but still a lady.. umm let's not be too harsh.. just have her stand next to her brother and caned on her calves..she has to recite all the events took place before, similar to today without playing with her words.
Royal scholar is to write every events recited by the maiden. Will become a good story for emperor to pass his leisure time" orders Yusheng giving a faint glance. Immediately a table and chair was given to Fu Ze with papers while tao was whole heartedly grinding the ink stone.
He was having nice meal ah.. not only he was eating with relish but also enjoying these rare moments. Because of these clowns he had to leave half way. He still felt pity for having to leave such delicacies thus in his anger he prepared more than enough ink with gusto suprising Fu Ze.
Fu Ze for the first time was made to write something else beside the edict's of emperor. He felt crying inside as this current felling was like of failed scholar who writes stories to make living. His own anger rises and vows inside to make their story very lively.
State advisor could feel the anger from Fu Ze and felt sorry for him. He was thinking what task would fall upon his head with worry. Thankfully Yusheng cleared his worries by saying he and fourth prince were to act as witness for these events. He and Pei Zhang were even given chairs to sit on making their heart settle.
Soon their wails were loud in the air, Li Si was squealing like a pig was about to die. Two guards were giving the blows on his hands and legs, while his body was pressed by other to stop him from moving.
His sister was no more a noble delicate lady rather like a orphaned child or widowed women crying ugly from the canning's. Soon the canning were much harsher reminding her task of reciting the events.
The duke and his wife could only hear their children wail like wounded beasts with bowed heads. Though angry still their children their heart was also in great pain as each stroke landing in their heart. Soon more ugly events were recited by their daughter making them want to dig a hole and jump in it.
Pei Zhāng felt enlightened and was excited to try similar punishment but getting that side look by his brother he once again became obedient child. Appearing all humble and solemn like a prince should behave.
His heart was beating like a drum while his inside thought was.. I am well behaved ah.. why give the glare bro...Don't you know your glare is more frightening than facing a beast.. Fuhuang .. Muhou.. how could you send this son to shoulder this pot ah... this prince will run back to grandfather soon"
