At the end of the avenue, Lu Aliu, who was leading dozens of people to push the cart, was secretly proud, and the old man saw that there were many people around the camp, and he couldn't see it clearly, and when he got closer, he saw clearly that it was some rural villagers. At first glance, he understood what was going on, but he was not afraid in his heart, waved his hand nonchalantly, and smiled at the people who were pushing the cart: "These people, walking fast, have come to the camp." ”

When he got closer, he hesitated for a moment when he saw the things in the hands of those people, and said in his heart, could it be that the garrison guards in the garrison couldn't stop them, so they didn't send them away? With this thought, he shrank in his heart, and he couldn't help but panic when he was a little weak in his heart. I wanted to turn back, but it was too late. Lu Aliu waved his hand to the left and right and shouted, "Drop the grain cart!" So he led the crowd and ran into the wasteland on both sides of the road.

When the villagers saw the grain cart, they didn't care to chase and beat those people, for fear that someone would rob them again, so they hurriedly collected the guys, picked up their companions who had just been injured and fell to the ground, beckoned each other and pushed the grain cart back.

The dozens of soldiers at the gate of the camp saw that everyone had dispersed, and they all relaxed. Mu Qingji hung on Du Ruhui's shoulder injury, quickly got out of the car, ran towards him, and saw him still cold in the face a few steps away, suppressing her anger, she paused in place.

"Go and find Lu Aliu and his entourage, and temporarily detain them in the forbidden room." He summoned six teams of patrol soldiers, pointed to the left and right sides of the avenue, and motioned for them to go in two ways to fetch people. He sighed, turned around and went back to the barracks to talk to Li Shimin.

When he passed by Mu Qing's side, he only whispered: "Go back quickly, don't come back if you have nothing to do these days." She didn't have time to look at the wound on his shoulder that was sticking to the blood and clothing, and he strode past her, leaving only a hurried back for her. She stared at the spot in a daze, before turning around and getting into the car again.

Towards evening, the soldiers came to report that Naru Aliu had not gone far, but had only searched the side of the garrison and found all those who had grabbed food.

At this time, all the generals were standing in the house, Li Shimin remembered that Lu Aliu had really made a force in the matter of military uniforms, and severely punished him for fear of cold hearts, and the army was not affected much, he deliberately wanted to skip the matter of grabbing grain, "Those Tian Shelang have already retrieved the grain and rice, and Naru Aliu still wants to send it to the camp after grabbing the grain, which can be seen that he is also sincere. ”

Du Ruhui shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Today's matter, I'm afraid it has spread, as soon as tomorrow morning, Changshi will definitely ask the left-behind mansion, and the name is justified, it is easy to spare Lu Aliu and others, but how to fool the past?" Moreover, it is really taboo to rob the people, and now that he can rob the people of food for the sake of his stomach, he will be able to rob the lives of the people in order to avoid his selfish desires, what is the difference between this behavior and the one who is deaf and tyrannical on the throne now? ”

Li Shimin glanced at the generals standing, and they were all silent. He lowered his eyes and let out a long breath from his chest, and waved his hand, "Take Rua Liuti for questioning." ”

Not long after, two relatives accompanied Lu Aliu, who turned his head and shook his face, into the house, and before he could ask questions, he had already muttered. "I led all the brothers to follow you Li Erlang, just for that full meal and warm clothes. Carry your head to the battlefield, we will never be afraid, even if I take my life to exchange warmth with you, how can I not see a full meal? But what did he say to the brethren? ”

Du Ruhui stopped Li Erlang, who was about to jump, and smiled faintly, "There are still grievances, just say them together." ”

Lu Aliu didn't wait for the expected angry scolding and drinking, but he was stunned, he was also a cool person, if he wanted him to say, he simply took a sidepath, and continued: "A certain is not the one who is not knowledgeable, when today the son is still robbing the people to grab food, and the brothers are not all good people who have been robbed, so they are forced to fall into the grass." Dare to ask, what army does not rob the people? And when I entered the township today, I only took nearly half of the grain and rice, and I didn't hurt anyone, which was also to relieve Mr. Du's urgent need, compared to the Son of Heaven who robbed the people of grain and rice, I don't know how much better. ”

The generals looked at each other, showing more approval on their faces, and even Li Shimin was slightly moved for a while, secretly saying that although he was a rough man, what he said was not unreasonable, and he wanted to forgive him more and more this time.

"You were also a robbed, how can you not understand the heart of robbery. If it is your neighbor who is being robbed today, or even your father, brother, or family, will you fight for your life against the plunderer? And the army has military regulations, how can it be child's play! Du Ruhui stood up and walked to Lu Aliu, forcing his gaze to dodge nowhere, and finally he sighed heavily, "The disaster has been done, since you are the leader, you don't care about other people, only you have to have a military law, if you are a responsible person, when you stay in the mansion tomorrow to raise accountability, you will suffer." Are you convinced? ”

At the moment, all the generals frowned and kept silent, and the discussion continued, what he said was not wrong, that is, because the military law did not spare him, but he was punished, and he was severely punished in the army in accordance with the military law. I am afraid that trouble will come, and the morale of the army will be lost. Immediately, a few Lang Lang felt cold in their hearts.

When everyone dispersed, the more Li Shimin chewed the smell, the more he felt that it was inappropriate, Du Ruhui closed the door of the house, turned back to him and said: "With this incident, the hearts of the people and the army can be recovered." ”

Early the next morning, before the morning training had passed, someone really brought a message from Tang Guogong, ordering Li Shimin, Du Ruhui, and all the generals above the lieutenant to immediately go to the yamen to stay behind, and escort the offenders to go with them, without a moment's stay.

Li Shimin cast a look at Du Ruhui, and it was really as he expected last night, fortunately he had already discussed it, and he was not caught off guard.

Staying in the yamen, there was a careless Tang Guogong sitting in the hall, and Zhang Changshi on the side seat seemed to be angry, but a little proud. A few men in the hall were among the people who went to the barracks yesterday to ask for the rice and grain that had been robbed, and when they saw Lu Aliu being tied up and pushed up to the hall, they all opened their eyes angrily and stared at him. If it weren't for the presence of officials, I am afraid that I would have pounced immediately.

Zhang Changshi slowly stood up from his seat, bypassed the high case, and paced forward, not knowing who he was talking to: "Why is the rice and grain allocated by the officials still not enough to eat?" Why do you want to rob the people's food? ”

Du Ruhui glanced upward, Tang Guogong still looked like he had nothing to do with himself, and only pretended to be stupid and looked at them, but he didn't expect it at all. So he stepped forward and arched his hand: "I was derelict in my duties, and I made a mistake in the calculation when allocating military rations, and I undercounted the Lua 61 team, so that more than 200 people in the first team did not receive food. In addition, the military was not strict in the manners, and the matter was not communicated for a long time, and the director was negligent, so he led people to disturb the people. ”

Zhang Changshi didn't expect him to have such a statement, the smugness on his face slowly receded, and a layer of doubt climbed up, he walked quickly to Lu Aliu, who was tied up with five flowers, and interrogated a few words sharply, but it was not different from what Du Ruhui said. His suspicious expression added a blind sense of loss, and he asked Li Shimin unwillingly: "According to military law, how to deal with robbing the people?" ”

"Thirty flogging." Li Shimin said with a calm face.

Zhang Changshi turned to Tang Guogong and sneered: "If you are not talented, you will ask for your life for the people." Please also stay behind and order it to be carried out in public, so as to make the people angry. ”

Tang Guogong's heart jumped, and he secretly said that this long history is mediocre, and he is so sharp at this time, doesn't this force him to stretch out his hand to beat his own people, and to teach everyone to know that his dignified Tang Guogong can't protect those generals who work for him. When he was hesitating, Zhang Changshi urged again. The onlookers had gathered outside, three layers inside and three layers outside, all of them looked at him with their eyes open, Tang Guogong had to grit his teeth, "Punishment!" ”

Immediately, a government soldier stepped forward, pulled up Lu Aliu, stripped off his shirt in three or two, tied his back to a cross-shaped log frame, and while the executioner was about to raise the whip and draw the first whip, Zhang Changshi stepped forward to hold his hand, "Don't be soft and foolish, all the people will look at it." ”

"If you want to fight, you will fight, where do you get so many words!" Lu Aliu glared and roared, shocking Zhang Changshi to take two steps back, wave his hand, and signal the execution.

Mu Qing felt that there was a lot of movement outside today, and the house was not far from the left-behind mansion, she came out of the workshop, and heard all the way that there were officers and soldiers robbing food, and they were being interrogated in the ya. She knew what was going on, so she followed the crowd on the street and rushed to the front of the government to take a look.

When she stood still, the first whip that was whipped at Rua Liu, came with a whining wind, and there was a painful crunch on the flesh of his back. Naru Aliu is a tough one, Leng is not silent, and he suffers it raw.

She stood on tiptoe and looked at the palace, where the generals standing around her were not good-looking, and they were all a little angry. Some couldn't bear to look at it, so they simply didn't turn their heads, and some looked at Tang Guogong and his son with dissatisfaction. Among the generals in a pile of uniforms, she easily found Du Ruhui in a crow-blue narrow single robe, he was expressionless, standing indifferently to the side.

When the crisp sound of the whip reached the tenth sound, Mu Qing clearly saw Du Ruhui handing Li Shimin a look, Li Shimin immediately stepped forward, intercepted the whip that was about to fall, and said loudly: "When a soldier commits a crime, as a commander, there is no reason to be a bystander, and I will take the rest for him." ”

Before everyone had time to be in an uproar, Du Ruhui also stepped forward and said lightly: "The military rations are calculated, and the situation is neglected, it was a mistake, and this flogging should be punished together to set an example." ”

The generals were so shocked that they looked at the two of them so much that they forgot what to say.

Zhang Changshi stroked his palms and said, "Excellent, excellent." This is exemplary. Without waiting for Tang Guogong to speak, he waved his hand and ordered people to come forward and be executed.

Mu Qing was shocked to a blank in his mind, and he didn't see how Naru Aliu was put down, and he only saw Du Ruhui's single robe torn off in half, revealing a solid back, and then stretched out his arms and was tied to a high log frame. The whip was raised high, and two crisp sounds sounded in the main courtyard of the mansion, this time it hit Mu Qing's heart fiercely, and also hit Tang Guogong's heart, he gritted his molars hatefully, and threw a vicious look at Zhang Changshi, thinking about which day the Son of Heaven's instructions would be delivered to him.
