The Little Consort's
Eps. 64: Punishment for the Wicked
Morning in another corner of Dongling Kingdom.
A man in fur robes stood up straight. Before him, a plainly dressed young man knelt down with injuries all over his body. The man stared intently through the slit of his mask, as if he wanted to skin the young man before him. His hand held a sharp sword, pointing straight at the young man's neck.
“Only take care of a woman alone until having to destroy the entire headquarters?” ask the masked man furiously.
“A..Forgive Mister. We thought the woman was stupid and could not do anything,” replied the young man full of wounds.
The masked man was getting angry. The tip of his sword slightly pierced the young man's neck until his blood began to drip. The young man grimaced and begged for mercy. He was none other than one of the bandits who managed to escape from the pursuit of the palace soldiers. When he managed to escape, he immediately went to a place in the crowd of the city to meet and report everything to his master.
“Keep him!”
“Good, Mr.”
Two masked private servants dragged the young man out of the room, then took him out of nowhere. The masked man growled in annoyance. The plan was almost successful, but he did not expect that the king would suddenly come and mess things up. He could almost get rid of the Noble Empress, but again failed. As a result, he had to re-create a plan. For the time being, the masked man decided not to move first.
...***...
The Department of Justice Bureau of Investigation is a prison reserved for middle-class criminals who commit fairly heavy crimes. Most of them are filled by robbers, pirates, people kidnapping agents, serial killers, cold-blooded killers, and brash nobles. Usually, they will be disabled for life because the interrogation process carried out in the Justice Department is very cruel and physically torturing, until the criminal is willing to admit his mistakes and sins.
The bandits that Wang Tianshi and the palace soldiers captured were actually included in this class. However, since the one they kidnapped was the great noble Empress whom the king fought desperately for, the Justice Department raised their crime status to the heavyweights. Moreover, the bandits also forced the Nobles Empress to marry an ugly man from their clan. This included a great insult to the royal family and had to be followed up by the higher-ranking department of his power, the Justice Department of the Palace.
Therefore, the bandits who were originally placed in the Justice Department prison were transferred to the Palace Justice Department prison. There, the interrogation process was even more cruel. No one can get out of there alive without the king's orders. But, the king issued special instructions to his officers not to torture them first.
Li Anlan and Long Ji Man arrived at the Palace Justice Department prison when it was noon. The woman was wearing a pastel-colored hanfu made from high-quality satin with silver-colored phoenix embroidery. Long Ji Man as usual, wore a long and beautiful royal robe. Xiao Biqi and Xie Roulan walked behind them.
The prison officers of the Palace Justice Department lowered their heads when they found out their king was coming. Then, an officer guided the three men to the prison room where the bandits were locked up. The hallways of this prison are very long and winding like a labyrinth. The bars are made of strong iron. Li Anlan considered, the era of Dongling Kingdom is more advanced because it has used iron as prison bars.
In a prison cell not far enough away from the entrance gate, Li Anlan saw the Bandit Leader and the others were locked up. The female bandits were separated from them, and her prison was located right in front of the prison of the male bandits. Although he had been in the Justice Department prison, there were no significant injuries on the bodies and faces of these bandits. Li Anlan had wanted to ask the king, but unexpectedly Long Ji Man told him that he had given special instructions not to hurt the bandits.
“Finally I can get revenge!” li Anlan shouted inwardly.
“Hey, you! Bad Bandit Leader! You remember me, right?”
The Head Bandit was immediately frightened when he saw Li Anlan. The woman who almost became his son-in-law stood arrogant, side by side with the king. One look, those inside the prison could feel that King Dongling and the Noble Empress had a very good and harmonious relationship.
“Didn't you want to punish them?” ask Long Ji Man.
Li Anlan nodded quickly.
“What punishment do you want to give?”
“Can I take them out?”
“No. They're palace prisoners, can't get out of this prison.
Too bad. Li Anlan planned to bring the Ugly Bandit Leader to his palace and punish him there.
“Jail only, right? In that case, take this ugly person to the front page of the Department only.”
Long Ji Man was about to refuse, but Li Anlan's eyes sparkled expectantly making him powerless to resist. Those eyes repeatedly made him submit for no reason. Beautiful eyes, eyes that look at him as a man of the sex, not as a king filled with power.
The Bandit Chief was taken out while being escorted by uniformed officers as in the Ming Dynasty, which Li Anlan had seen in the colossal drama. In the courtyard of the Justice Department of the Palace, Long Ji Man and the department's top brass sat in a shady corridor commonly used to see someone put to death. While Li Anlan, the woman asked the officer to bring the Bandit Leader to the center of the concrete stage where the execution was, followed by Xie Roulan.
“Your Highness, what is Mrs Huang doing?” ask the Head of the Palace Justice Department.
“Look at.”
Not enough to get there, Li Anlan also cut the curly hair of the Head Bandit until bald unceremonious, round like a ball. The skin of his head that was pelletos then he drew with eyebrow pencils formed an ugly and disgusting face, then colored with turmeric powder until the color turned yellow.
The face of the Bandit Leader who has been dressed up is then dressed again, until his makeup becomes thicker. Li Anlan asked Xie Roulan to take out the prepared clothes. The Bandit Leader was forced to change clothes, of course in a closed place with tight escort. Li Anlan waited leisurely at the execution venue while folding a hand.
When the Head Bandit returned, everyone in the Justice Department of the Palace laughed out loud. The man transformed into a plontos yellow-headed woman with a disgusting face. Long Ji Man, seeing the work of his wife could only shake his head. The unexpected woman returned to surprise him.
Li Anlan then took out his camera, photographing the Bandit Leader with many poses. After that, she put on a slightly tangled black wig. In an instant, the Bandit Leader changed appearance into a woman who was more sinister than a demon. The officers of the Justice Department of the Palace were again made to laugh out loud.
“Today, you cosplay as a kuntilanak only!”
The appearance of the Head Bandit is very similar to the ghost from Indonesia that Li Anlan had heard and had tried to find out on the internet. If the ghost really existed, the figure would cry to see a human who was in costume and looked more sinister than his own figure.
“Mistress, please forgive me,” please The Head Bandit. He could not stand being humiliated like this. His entire pride as the bandit leader of Duanrou Fort vanished into the air in no time.
“Did you let me go when I negotiated with you?” Li Anlan asked back.
“I've been kind because I just humiliated you. What happens if I marry your ugly son? Isn't my shame bigger than this?”
It was very desirable for Li Anlan to stuff smelly socks on the mouth of the Bandit Leader, then drown him in the Chinese Peninsula. But he realized she was a woman. Such punishment did not match his personality. This way is pretty fun too. He could have kept the Bandit Leader alive, but lost face so he felt that death was better than being remembered as an all-time loser.
“I've been kind. This is my lightest punishment for a bad guy who sucks like you.”
“Punish me, Mistress. I'm really sorry,” said the Head Bandit memelas.
“Heh, regrets always come at the end. So, just enjoy.”
The Bandit Leader suddenly ran in front of Long Ji Man while crying. The officers were on standby, worried that the bandits were acting recklessly and harming their king. In front of Long Ji Man, the Bandit Leader cried for mercy.
“Your Majesty, forgive me.”
“Oh?”
“Your Majesty, just give me the death penalty! I can't stand to be humiliated like this,” said the Bandit Chairman.
Don't expect Long Ji Man to be so kind. He was already very angry because of the actions of this damn bandit.
“Why don't you ask for mercy on your son-in-law?” said Long Ji Man while pointing at Li Anlan.
The Bandit Leader was crying more and more. Li Anlan then walked up to him. The Bandit Leader can't do anything anymore. The woman he had kidnapped was cruel and heartless. He did not expect that His Majesty's Royal Noble Empress was such a stubborn and intelligent person, not just any ordinary woman.
“Daddy-in-law, how are you doing?” li Anlan whispered right beside the ear. The Bandit Leader shuddered, all the feathers on his back stood up. The whisper is more scary than the ghost.
Feeling quite satisfied, Li Anlan climbed into the corridor, sitting beside Long Ji Man. The Bandit Leader was still crying out for mercy. But, the cry only went into Li Anlan's right ear, then out of his left ear without stopping in the brain first. The voice of the Bandit Leader was like a gust of wind that passed by quickly.
The final step to perfecting this punishment was to make the Bandit Leader dance happily while crying. In this way, Li Anlan's heart just felt satisfied and his revenge was avenged. And so, after he sat comfortably beside Long Ji Man, Li Anlan shouted, ordering the Bandit Leader to dance for him in the middle of the execution stage.
That day, the people in the Justice Department of the Palace witnessed an incredible performance. That day, the Palace Justice Department prison which is usually filled with the sound of crying and screaming of tortured prisoners was replaced by the roar of a leader of shameful bandits and the laughter of people who saw the good show.
Li Anlan's version of punishment for bad people is to shame the perpetrator.
...***...
