Obviously, the target she was waiting for came.

A knight in the lead came to Dong Dai, with agility. He grabbed the thin domestic slave with one hand and quickly turned over and got off the horse. He came to Dong Daima like he was grabbing a light straw and knelt down to salute, saying:

"Mr. The escaped slave has been brought here!"

"Okay, let him stand fifty steps away. This escaped slave is homeless and attempts to escape privately. During this period, he is trying to resist. Today he is just using him to practice arrows!"

"promise!"

Dong Dai waved his hand proudly, and then several knight entourages who took the order quickly carried the thin escape slave and ran away fifty steps away before they put the escape slave down and stood him in their original position. Then they walked a few steps away and waited for Dong Dai's orders.

Although the escaped slave was tied up, he was anxious and afraid when he heard that he wanted to be treated as a target. He instantly cried loudly and rushed to the ground to cry and beg for mercy.

When Yan Xing saw that the target of human flesh was not successful, he felt relieved. Although he knew that human life was like grass in troubled times, such a fugitive slave would definitely not end even in peacetime. However, he had not become a ruthless executioner, who regarded human life as an invisible target and used a fugitive slave to shoot arrows for fun.

Li Ru frowned when he saw this phenomenon. He had sent people privately and quickly approached, looked up at Dong Dai on the right hand and said:

"The king and daughter, the Han family's laws and regulations, should not kill them without slaughtering them, and abuse slaves. Don't compare them with this method again, and you can't help but-"

Before Li Ru finished speaking, Dong Dai raised his eyebrows immediately and said sneered:

"Who said that I am going to ejaculate is him. Come on, tie the leather jacket to his head. What I am going to ejaculate today is the leather jacket on his head. Li Ru, you won't know that this is the etiquette of shooting the marquis. The ancient sages have been used to this day, and are specifically used to punish the traitors. I will see what rules you have in your mouth that can stop me!"

At the beginning of this dynasty, although Emperor Guangwu did not use the righteousness of "the nature of heaven and earth is the most important thing" like the emperor Wang Mang of the Xin Dynasty, and stipulated that slaves were "private relatives" and were not allowed to trade privately, attempting to limit the expansion of the scope and number of slaves owned by the powerful clan. However, he also strictly ordered that "killing slaves should not reduce their crimes", "Zhizhuo slaves and servants should be treated as the law", etc., and the right to life of slaves was confirmed in law. Now, although the laws are relaxed and there are some people who abuse and kill slaves, if they really have to be investigated severely, this is also a serious crime of killing people and beheading people.

Li Ru just wanted to use the Han law to ban this gambling battle led by Dong Dai, but unexpectedly, Dong Dai had already planned to directly tie a leather jacket on the escaped slave's head, calling him a ritual of shooting the marquis, which made Li Ru quite passive and speechless for a moment.

In ancient times, the target of archery was called "hou", which was a kind of thing with cloth as the main body and animal skin adorns its side, so it is also called "peihou". Legend has it that it can be traced back to ancient times, after Huangdi defeated Chiyou, "so he captured it and peeled it to make it a Ganhou, and asked people to shoot it. Most of the people who were middle-aged would like to cut their hair and build it into the sky, called it (Chi), and used the stomach as a ju, so that it would hold it. Most of the people would like to rot its bones and flesh, throw it into the bitterness and make the world look at it."

It means that after Huangdi defeated Chiyou, in order to vent his hatred, he even peeled his skin and made an arrow target for the soldiers to shoot after Chiyou's death. The winner also had a reward. This is the same as filling Chiyou's stomach with weeds as a Cuju activity, which has become two common methods to train soldiers in the army.

However, at this time, the target of "Shooting Hou" which aims at the human body has a deeper meaning than Cuju, which is a curse of witchcraft. Huangdi cursed Chiyou by letting his soldiers shoot Chiyou's skin and used this to warn the soldiers that if they betray the leader, they would have the same fate as Chiyou.

This witchcraft curse culture, which initially used shooting human bodies as targets, was also reflected in the later Shang Dynasty and Western Zhou Dynasty. For example, in the "Benji of Yin", "Emperor Wu Yi was a doll man, and he was called the god of heaven. He was broad and made people unable to defeat the god of heaven, so he was a shady bag, and he was full of blood. He was hunched and shot it, and he was called "Shooting the sky".

During the Shang Dynasty, Wu Yi made the illusory gods into puppets and shot them with bows and arrows, and used this curse method to achieve the goal of dominating the world and intimidating the four directions.

As recorded in the military book "Six Strategies", "Wu King of Wu used Yin, and Ding Hou did not pay tribute. Taigong then painted Ding Hou in the Ce and shot three arrows. Ding Hou was sick and trapped. The divine man said that "the evil spirit is in the country." Ding Hou was afraid, so he asked the whole country to be a minister. Taigong sent a man to pull Ding Hou on the day of Jia and Yi to pull Ding Hou with arrows on the day of Bing Ding, and Bing and Ji to pull a belly arrow. Ding Hou was slightly cured. The four barbarians heard it and each came to pay tribute." Jiang Shang also used this kind of ritual of shooting Hou to punish Ding Hou who was not convinced by the king's transformation, so as to shock the princes and help the world.

Ma Qian, the former Han Taishi Company, also recorded this kind of ritual of shooting the marquis in his "Records of the Grand Historian: Fengshan Book". "At that time, the marquis of the Zhou Ling will serve King Ling in the morning. The marquis of the marquis should not go to Zhou. Zhou was weak. The marquis of the marquis were clear about ghosts and gods. If the marquis of the marquis of the marquis of the marquis, the marquis of the marquis of the marquis of the marquis of the marquis, the marquis of the marquis who did not come to pay tribute were targets. That is, the targets of marquis of the marquis of the marquis of the marquis of the marquis of the marquis of the marquis of the marquis of the marquis of the marquis of the marquis of the marquis of the marquis of the marquis of the marquis of the marquis of the marquis of the marquis of the marquis of the marquis of the marquis of the marquis of the marquis of the marquis of the marquis of the marquis of the marquis of the marquis of the marquis of the marquis of the marquis of the marquis of the marquis of the marquis of the marquis of the marquis of the marquis of the marquis of the marquis of the marquis of the marquis of the marquis of the marquis of the marquis of the marquis of the marquis of the marquis of the marquis of the marquis of the marquis of the marquis of the marquis of the marquis of the

This kind of witchcraft cursing culture that uses shooting human bodies as the target is not uncommon even nowadays, especially in border areas. The Wuhuan people hate Gongsun Zan, who was too serious to kill his family, so they "painted it as a sculpting shape, riding and shooting it, and those in the middle are called long live." They made a human-shaped target with Gongsun Zan that they hated, used to practice archery, and cursed their enemies and shock their subordinates.

Dong Dai lived in Lintao for a long time, and was somewhat infected with the habit of living in the Qiang and Hu. Today, she wanted to use this ancient and bloody ritual of shooting the marquis to punish escaped slaves and shock Li Ru, Yan Xing and others. She shot the leather on the head of the escaped slave instead of deliberately shooting people, and cleverly avoided the Han laws, not deliberately killing slaves to set up temples.

Seeing that Li Ru had nothing to say and could not find a reason to stop her for the time being, Dong Dai couldn't help but laugh a few proudly. She then looked at the escaped slave who was still pounced on the ground and cried and begged for mercy, and scolded:

"Die slave, don't you stand up quickly. If you can stand firm and let me shoot a few arrows, your poor life may be saved. If you still wail twice on the ground, would you want me to have someone buried you half in the soil and shoot you through your heart with thousands of arrows!"

Under the threat of Dong Dai who had accumulated power, the escaped slave who had fallen to the ground did not dare to cry and beg for mercy in an instant. He could only moan in pain or two like a chicken or dog waiting to be slaughtered, and then stood up tremblingly. Then a entourage holding a leather hat walked up to him, and without saying anything, he ruthlessly tied the leather hat to his head. His thin and bone-skinned hands trembled with his eyes, and did not dare to look at Dong Dai, who was so beautiful but cruel, and turned it to Yan Xing, who was also standing in the field immediately with a begging look.

The gaze that penetrated his heart made Yan Xing tremble in his heart. He had seen this gaze many times. This was the last light of begging for life in the eyes of a dying person.

Dong Dai would not care about the life of this escaped slave who was like a mustard of grass. Her delicate face was a little impatient. Seeing the escaped slave standing up tremblingly, she turned to urge Yan Xing, who was also standing immediately not far away.
