Chapter 558: Exemplifying Executions
After learning of this, Li Yu, the king of Guangping, hurried to see Qin Jin, and he knew that if it was not handled well, it could even affect the morale of the entire army. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 However, when he saw Qin Jin, he found that the other party was not in a hurry to deal with this matter, but was busy dealing with other military affairs.
"Doctor Yushi, I heard that the new army made a mess, forged warrants to go out of the city, and killed a lot of people?"
Qin Jin nodded, which was considered a default. In the army, only the military rank is up and down, regardless of the status of the title, so Li Yu does not take the stand of the king of Guangping, and Qin Jin does not have to pay homage according to the etiquette of the imperial court.
"More than 400 people died, and more than 600 came back alive, some of whom are afraid to be disabled for life. ”
Li Yu asked with some apprehension:
"I wonder what the Imperial Doctor plans to do with them?"
Qin Jin replied lightly:
"Forging a warrant to go out of the city, and so many people died, the nature of the situation is extremely bad, according to military regulations, it should be severely punished to set an example!"
Li Yu was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked:
"More than six hundred, all of them?"
"Yes, not only the more than 600 people who are alive, but even the more than 400 people who are dead, they must be held responsible, but for the sake of those who have already died, they can be punished lightly!"
Seeing that Qin Jin's determination was so resolute, Li Yu asked tentatively:
"Dare to ask the doctor, how to punish the living, and how to punish the dead?"
Qin Jin took out the military law book from the official case and spread it out in front of Li Yu.
"According to the military law, the first evil should be punished with the head of the sword, and the servant will be severely punished with fifty military sticks, and he will be thrown out of the army, and he will never be hired!"
After saying that, he added:
"There is another point that needs to be brought forward by the king of Guangping, and those who have titles on them should also be taken away. ”
Li Yu subconsciously asked again:
"All?"
Qin Jin nodded.
"Isn't it too ......?"
Qin Jin interrupted Li Yu's words.
As the saying goes, the law does not blame the public, and it is precisely because of this that those gentlemen recognize this that they act perversely and fearlessly. If the punishment is not severe, I am afraid that it will leave an extremely bad impact on those who come after. ”
Li Yu didn't want to excuse the people by not blaming the people, but he disposed of so many people at once, and he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to explain to Li Heng. Qin Jin is no one, he can see through Li Yu's mind at a glance.
"King Guangping can rest assured that as long as everything is done in accordance with the law and is justified, even if the Son of Heaven is dissatisfied for a while, he will only gladly agree afterwards. ”
Being seen through his mind, Li Yu smiled a little embarrassed.
"Except for my father, these people are all from big families, and now that the war has not started, I have to deal with them, I am afraid that if I offend these people, I will secretly restrain them!"
Although Li Yu, the king of Guangping, was the eldest son of the emperor, he had insight into the world and knew that the influence of the family in the court and the local area could not be ignored.
If you don't ask for any kind of care, it may lead to endless trouble.
After hesitating for a while, Li Yu still spoke.
"Didn't Doctor Yu Shi think about grasping the big and letting go of the small?"
Qin Jin knew that Li Yu had good intentions, so he smiled and said:
"If we really grasp the big and let go of the small, how is it different from turning big things into small things? How can it have a warning effect?"
"But if they do, the doctor will offend them......"
Qin Jin laughed:
"How can I, Qin Jin, be a person who looks ahead and cares about the future? If those big clans are only for their own selfishness, they will be offended if they are offended, where do they come from?"
After a pause, he reminded Li Yu again.
"It's better for King Guangping not to get involved in this matter, just let the anger of those big families only come at a certain person in Qin!"
Hearing this, Li Yu was a little excited, and said hurriedly:
"Li Yu is on an errand promoted by the new army, how can he let the doctor be responsible alone?
Qin Jin stopped Li Yu.
"King Guangping doesn't need to be so excited, this is a matter within the Qin and Jin Dynasties, there are already a lot of people who have offended before, are you afraid of adding a few more?"
The two were negotiating, and the entourage suddenly reported:
"Wei Ji asks to see!"
Weizi?
This person previously served as Jing Zhaoyin under the operation of Qin and Jin, and played an indispensable role in the construction of Zhengbai Canal, but this person was scheming, and in a blink of an eye, he took refuge in Yang Guozhong in order to seek greater development.
Because of this, the people of the Shenwu Army parted ways with him, and he failed to seek greater development, but was arranged to be a famous and powerless free rider.
Today, Wei Ji suddenly asked to see Qin Jin with a shy face, and he could understand with his toes that he must be interceding for his fellow brothers.
Qin Jin had seen the list of troublemakers early in the morning, among which Wei Qian, the son of Jingzhao Wei, was impressive, and Wei Ji, as Wei Qian's brother of the same clan, actually sold his old face and came to intercede in person.
King Guangping planned to avoid it, but Qin Jin stopped him, but there was no reason for King Guangping to avoid it.
So, he arranged for Li Cao to receive Wei Ji, no matter what happened, he must not agree to come down.
Wei Ji really came to intercede for his fellow brothers, and after entering the side hall, he saw Li Cao sitting alone in it, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and looked left and right before asking:
"Where's Dr. Go?"
Li Cao looked at this former Jing Zhaoyin coldly, dressed in civilian clothes, and his expression was a little lonely and uneasy, where is there still a half-rank and high-powered Yin momentum?
However, this kind of person is not worthy of pity, if he hadn't done that kind of betrayal, why would he be where he is today?
The world attaches the most importance to the famous festival, and this kind of villain who is in the twilight of the day does not even care about the name festival for the sake of reputation and status, which will only make Li Cao even more disgusted.
"King Guangping is busy discussing military affairs with Dr. Yushi in the army at the moment, and only Li Cao has come to entertain him. ”
Although disappointed, Li Cao's excuse also made Wei Ji unable to start, how could he let himself be ahead of King Guangping?
However, how can they not mention the affairs of their brothers in the same clan when they have come? Although they no longer have much hope in their hearts, they still tell the truth:
"Wei came today for his brother Wei Qian. ”
Li Cao asked knowingly:
"Oh, what's wrong with Brother Wei?"
Wei Ji replied patiently:
"Brother Wei Qian is ignorant, followed those fools around, went out of Chang'an City, and many people died. Wei Mou, I only ask for Dr. Yushi, for the sake of the feelings of working together back then, I can, I can open up to my brothers, so, so Wei is grateful......"
At the same time, Wei Ji took a deep look, as if the Li Cao in front of him was Qin Jin who could decide life and death.
Li Cao was still expressionless, and he accepted Wei Ji's salute.
After a long time, he said meaningfully:
"I'm afraid that Brother Ling is not ignorant, as far as Li knows, Yang, Wei, and Xue are the initiators, and Brother Ling is the second!"
Wei Ji's face was very embarrassed, and he only stubbornly said:
"The clan brother is also bewitched by people, if the doctor can open the net, Wei, Wei ......"
As he was talking, Li Cao stood up, with a disdainful smile on his face, and said:
"Let's be honest, Li is just entertaining, he can't be the master of the doctor, and he has to meet Dr. Chen for his brother. However, if Brother Wei can be trusted, Li can also convey it on his behalf, and the military affairs are busy at the moment, please forgive me for not being able to accompany him for a long time!"
"This, this ......"
Li Cao ignored it and left, leaving only Wei Ji, who was stunned, stunned on the spot, stammering.
Early the next morning, the military order was promulgated, and Qin Yan, an instructor of the new army, was responsible for negligence in the matter of leaving the city, and not only was the decision to be promoted to lieutenant revoked, but even the brigade rate was also taken away, and he was only sent to the army as an ordinary soldier.
The initiators Yang Concrete, Wei Qian, and Xue Xiangzhi should be punished with the head of the gang according to the law, and they will be executed immediately at noon today. The servant shall be given fifty sticks, and then he shall be thrown out of the army, and all titles and shadows shall be stripped of him.
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar, everyone thought that Qin Jin would take care of the law and not blame the public, and only deal with a few people who took the lead in making trouble, which Cheng thought that more than 600 people would be convicted together.
In this punishment decision, Qin Jin finally followed the advice of Li Yu, the king of Guangping, and the deceased was the greatest, so the punishment for those who died outside the city was canceled. However, that's all, the court will not have posthumous seals and pensions for them.
At the beginning of the afternoon, Yang, Wei, and Xue were tied up and pushed to the school field in Dongshi, with tens of thousands of onlookers, and a number of officials such as Li Yu, the king of Guangping, Qin Jin, the imperial historian, and Cui Guangyuan of Jingzhao Yin were also present.
In fact, Qin Jin also did it intentionally, if he didn't make a big move about the execution, it would only make people with intentions think that the cost of violating military law was extremely low, and they repeatedly took risks.
Immediately behind Yang, Wei, and Xue were more than 600 gentlemen, who were tied up with the same flowers, and were pressed to the ground one by one. If it weren't for the flag-holding envoy who read out the execution book on his behalf, everyone watching the execution would have thought that they would behead these more than 600 people together.
As the execution book was read, the three bright axes were neatly raised and cut down, and the three great heads rolled down on the spot, and the blood in the cavity splattered several feet away.
The rest of them were all moved, watching Yang, Wei, and Xue, who were the kings and hegemons, be beheaded, and many people were so frightened that they even peed their pants, and they had no confidence to shout, only crying and begging for mercy.
However, these people did not have to worry about their lives, and soon some soldiers stepped forward and knocked them to the ground, and took off their pants, and more than 600 snow-white farts were exposed to the public!
"Hit!"
The arm-thick military stick flew up and down, and the sound of beating explained, and the school field was immediately filled with the screams of ghosts and wolves.
What is even more unbearable than the physical pain is the humiliation of exposing the secrets of the body in front of the public and being tortured.
From now on, even if they survived, where would they still have the face to gain a foothold in the family? I am afraid that they will only be ridiculed by their uncles and nephews.
Of course, not everyone is spineless, and some even scolded Qin Jin for not dying well while being tortured, even if he was the most expensive, he would not let him go.
It's just that the execution was only halfway through, Qin Jin and King Guangping hurriedly left the Dongshi campus, although it can be low-key, but someone who cares about it saw this situation, and immediately keenly realized that something big must have happened.
