Zhu Biao comforted them softly and asked, "Uncle, are there old and young couples who died?" ”

The old man in the village couldn't stop swallowing his saliva when he looked at the room full of ironclad men, and he didn't react until Zhu Biao repeated it again, and he was so frightened that he was about to kneel on the ground, and Zhu Biao looked helpless.

But there is no way, most of the villagers have been war-torn and the Ming Dynasty has just opened the country, and there is no actual influence on the countryside.

Zhu Biao looked at the young people whose legs and feet were trembling, so he didn't bother to ask again, and said bluntly: "Don't be afraid, you are all my people of the Ming Dynasty, and now my subordinates have made mistakes and killed people, and they should be beheaded according to military discipline!" Therefore, inviting the village elders to come is to be a witness, and if the deceased has an old and young family, the deceased will also be properly resettled. ”

After Zhu Biao finished speaking, the young people and village elders of Liuli Village on the ground looked at him in disbelief, their Liuli Village is located next to the official road, and there were many troops passing by in the early years, every time they were conscripted to grab food, and they were killed in the middle, and no one had ever punished any soldiers.

Zhu Biao looked at them and said in disbelief: "It's been a year since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, haven't the village elders heard of it?" ”

The old man's tears flowed, and he said tremblingly: "Zhu... Emperor Zhu's Ming Dynasty? ”

Zhu Biao smiled: "That's right, it's Emperor Zhu's Daming!" Don't be afraid, everything is bound by the law, and there is no one who can wantonly kill my Ming people. ”

Only then did the village elder come to his senses, broke free from the young man who was holding him on the side, and kowtowed deeply to Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao didn't have time to avoid it, so he had to ask people to quickly help the village elder: "Don't be polite, let's talk about the situation of their family!" ”

The village elder stood up and replied: "Sanhu is my nephew, his father and his two brothers were taken away by conscription and never came back, his wife also left last year, and his daughter-in-law also just got married and has not yet given birth to a baby." ”

Zhu Biao felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this, but he was also relieved, the man in the family died, if he was left alone and widowed, it would be difficult for them to survive in this cruel era.

The villagers are simple, but Zhu Biao never thinks that simplicity is a compliment, they can be good to you without reservation, or they can be bad to you without a bottom line.

Zhu Biao must have said solemnly: "Since the village elder is the uncle of the deceased, then please see my Ming military law to avenge your nephew."

After speaking, he led a room of people to an open space surrounded by people, and in it there were nine people kneeling on the ground with their hands tied, and their mouths were stuffed with cloth balls.

Zhu Biao frowned and asked, "Why did you plug your mouth?" ”

Guangdehou Huagao on the side replied and said: "These people know that they are dead, and they have begun to be full of foul language, and the last general is afraid that the general's ears will be dirty, so people will shut their mouths!" ”

Zhu Biao nodded, then walked into the middle with the hilt of his sword, glanced around, and shouted: "You must know what they have done, then you will see what punishment they should receive for violating military law, and the general doesn't want to say more, so you can do it yourself!"

Zhu Biao turned around and looked directly at the already crazy eyes of those people, his pupils dilated, his eyes were bloodshot, and there was undisguised resentment in his eyes.

Zhu Biao stared at them expressionlessly until their heads flew high, blood spurted out of their necks a foot high, and their headless bodies fell to the ground weakly.

Zhu Biao's heart was a little cold, his heart seemed to be a little twitching, everything in front of him seemed to be blurred, all the colors were a little blurred, Zhu Biao smelled the smell of blood in the air, his right hand held the hilt of the sword tightly, and then turned around and said to the soldiers with an expressionless face: "Military law is ruthless, and the general will never let go of anyone who violates military law!" ”

Everyone was silent, not afraid of the punishment of beheading, but afraid that a fourteen-year-old young man of the royal family would dare to face such a bloody scene, and he did not react in the slightest.

Zhu Biao ignored them, and walked directly back to the big tent of the Chinese army, except for Liu Jin, no one dared to follow, Zhu Biao entered the tent without saying a word, sitting in a chair and closing his eyes in contemplation.

Liu Jin went to pour a cup of hot tea and put it on the table in front of Zhu Biao, just wanted to say something, but was startled by Zhu Biao, who suddenly opened his eyes, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, and then saw a cup being knocked over and falling in front of his eyes, Liu Jin's heart was like a cup that kept bouncing up and falling.

After a long time without a sound, Liu Jin looked up slightly and saw Zhu Biao leaning on the chair and looking ahead with blank eyes, Liu Jin felt a pain in his heart, and he couldn't wait to go out and save those dogs and chew them alive.

Silently got up, went to pour another cup of tea, this time Zhu Biao took a sip and said, "Go and call Mu Ying and Lan Yu." ”

Liu Jin went as promised, and Zhu Biao drank the tea one by one, not knowing what he was thinking about.

After a while, Quan Xu Lanyu and Mu Ying walked in, and when they saw Zhu Biao's expression, they thought they were a little frightened, and Mu Ying said, "You are not feeling well, so let the military doctor come over." ”

Zhu Biao glanced at them, but still didn't speak, and they seemed to understand something from Zhu Biao's eyes.

Mu Ying frowned and said, "Just knock it out, this matter is not going to make a big fuss."

Lan Yu bowed his head and said, "Only by the order of His Highness!" ”

Zhu Biao said with a cold expression: "When are you going to tell me about this!" ”

Neither of them dared to speak anymore, and they both knelt down on one knee and waited for Zhu Biao's decision.

Zhu Biao kept weighing in his heart, this matter can be big or small, loose or tight, everything depends on his meaning.

Just before the beheading, Quan Xu reported one thing to Zhu Biao, it turned out that there were not only nine people but ten people who were escorted back!

But he was stopped before entering the camp, and there were only nine left when he was escorted into the camp, and the one who left was still the leader of the case and the captain of the scouts.

This person's name is Hua'an, and he is the nephew of Guangde Hou Huagao. Of course, a Guangdehou in this army is nothing, but he is a person who often encounters spring, so he has enough strength to hide from the world.

It's a pity that the pro-army Governor's Mansion is in vain, in addition to the 30,000 pro-army on the surface, there are still some hidden in the 200,000 army, and even those cronies around the generals are not necessarily loyal to whom.

Of course, the generals also knew these things in their hearts, but they still did it, that is, they were using the forces of the permanent system to make Zhu Biao turn a blind eye.

After all, in the end, they are Zhu Biao's courtiers, and the couple who died outside are just local pariahs, and didn't they push out nine people to pay for their lives!

As for Chang Yuchun's meaning, it can be seen from Lan Yu's attitude, he said that he only obeyed His Royal Highness's orders, which means that as long as Zhu Biao makes up his mind, they will definitely obey.

But Chang Yuchun didn't come to discuss with him in person, which means that he still hopes that this matter will pass like this, after all, Guangdehou is also the backbone of his regular department.
