Chapter 1286 - 1241: Punishment by Caning
Jiang Zhizhi and the others were terribly frightened.
The wife of the Prince of Rui shouted angrily,
"How dare you servants be so bold! Since when did you have the right to strut around in my Prince Qi Residence like you own the place? What riff-raff are you, thinking you can act like the master here? Do you think it’s so easy to be the master of the Prince Qi Residence?" She looked coldly at Jiang Zhizhi and the others, the wife of the Prince of Rui did not recognize any of them.
Observing their pettiness and lowly garb, the wife of the Prince of Rui called out again with a cold voice, "Guards, drag these people away and give them each fifty lashes with the rod."
What?
Fifty lashes with the rod?
The wife of the Prince of Rui wanted to give them fifty lashes?
Upon hearing this, the faces of the crowd turned pale in fright.
If they were really punished with fifty lashes, they might not die, but they would certainly be skinned alive. Moreover, these people were usually pampered young ladies of the household, raised delicately within the mansion’s deep confines, their tender skin couldn’t withstand beating.
As soon as some heard about the fifty lashes, they were frozen in fright, while the quicker ones started begging for mercy non-stop, "Mercy, Your Highness, have mercy! We just made a mistake this one time, and we will never dare again. Your Highness, please, be merciful and spare us this one instance."
