Chapter 23: Criticism (2)
After the three of them finished discussing in the evening, Li Ren said to Chen Lin: "It just so happens that Mr. Chen is here now, and there is something to worry about Mr. Chen." ”
"I don't know what the lord has to do with his subordinates, although he is told." Mr. Chen said respectfully to Liren.
Liren said to him with a straight face: "Very important, but you have to handle it with Zhang Lei, now wait for now." After saying goodbye to Chen Lin, he instructed the guards standing guard by the door: "Go quickly, call Zhang Lei to me." ”
Zhang Hu saw Li Ren and Chen Lin discussing something on the side, and knew that he was not here now. Then he retreated: "Lord! Since you and Mr. Chen have something to discuss, then your subordinates will retire. After saying that, I wanted to turn around and quit.
Liren hurriedly said to him: "Zhang Hu, now you don't have to quit, let's listen together." If you have any good suggestions, you can just say them. Zhang Hu saw that Liren kept him, so he stepped aside and waited patiently.
After a while, Zhang Lei arrived, and before Liren could salute, he asked directly: "How are things going?" ”
Zhang Lei hurriedly took two steps forward and looked at Liren and reported: "Lord Qiqi, we have searched all possible places, but we still haven't found anything. ”
"Oh! is actually like this, it seems that Jia Yiren is very careful. Rihito finished thinking in thought.
Chen Lin asked Zhang Lei in a low voice on the side: "Captain Zhang, what is the matter?" So nervous? ”
Zhang Lei saw that when Li Ren asked about things today, he didn't avoid Chen Lin and Zhang Hu. Knowing that there was no need to keep it secret from Chen Lin and Zhang Hu, he also whispered to Chen Lin: "It's the letters exchanged between Jia Yiren and Shi Miyuan." Zhang Hu also heard the whispered conversation between Zhang Lei and Chen Lin, and wanted to say something, but when he thought that he had no better way, he could only look at Chen Lin with blank eyes.
But Chen Lin also followed in Liren's footsteps, Zhang Lei and Zhang Hu looked at each other and shrugged. Quietly waiting for the two of them to come up with a better way. After a long time, Zhang Hu couldn't bear the loneliness, and whispered: "It's better to sleep first and think about it tomorrow." ”
This sudden sentence was like a thunderbolt in Liren's heart. He raised his head, looked at Zhang Hu excitedly and asked, "What did you just say?" Say it again. ”
Zhang Hu was a little inexplicable, he didn't know what to say with his mouth open, Zhang Lei was so anxious that he jumped up, and hurriedly helped Liren ask again: "The lord asked you to say what you just said again." ”
Zhang Hu reacted and said stupidly: "It's better to sleep first and find a way tomorrow." ”
"That's it, that's it. Hahaha! Zhang Hu, you are really my lucky star. Liren excitedly patted Zhang Hu on the shoulder.
Chen Lin asked incomprehensibly beside him: "What good way can the lord think of?" ”
"Yes, I thought of it, it's sleeping." Li Ren looked at Chen Lin happily and said.
After listening to Liren's good idea, Chen Lin said with a question mark on his head: "This is a good idea?" ”
Rihito nodded: "Yes! That's the idea. ”
"Can the lord explain it?" Chen Lin asked.
Li Ren realized that none of the others understood, so he smiled and asked Chen Lin: "Mr. Chen, let me ask you, how would you feel if you weren't allowed to sleep for a day?" ”
"Isn't it just a day without sleep? Just a little sleepy. Chen Lin replied very simply.
Rihito smiled and asked, "What if you don't sleep for two or three days in a row?" ”
Chen Lin replied: "Then I must be able to fall asleep while standing." ”
"Then if I resolutely refuse to let you sleep, I will annoy you in my ears every day and ask you questions. How would you feel? Li Ren smiled at this time and looked at Chen Lin's reaction.
Chen Lin still said casually: "If it's me!" At this time, he paused, suddenly looked at Liren with a gleam in his eyes and said, "Then I must be unable to parry, finish the answer as quickly as possible, and then sleep wholeheartedly." After speaking, Chen Lin hugged his fist deeply and saluted Liren: "My subordinates have been taught!" ”
Li Ren hurriedly helped Chen Lin up and said, "Sir, you don't have to be like this, I'm just a little clever, and I'm ashamed of myself compared to Mr." After the two of them finished being modest, Li Ren instructed Zhang Lei, who had goosebumps on his body: "Zhang Lei, you personally ask Jia Yiren with a few people in turn, and you must tell him the real situation before you let him sleep." ”
On the second day, Liren took Zhang Hu and Chen Lin to the execution table set up in front of the state capital, and the people below were all looking at the people on the stage with wide eyes and fear.
Standing on the stage, Rihito first bowed deeply to these kind people, and then took a paper megaphone and said, "Blind dates, fathers and brothers. I am Yang Liren, the leader of the Vermilion Bird Army, and I am here to make amends to you! ”
The people below didn't believe that there was an army leader who saluted the people to make amends, but today they saw it. None of them dared to say anything, just stared at Rihito who was playing on stage with innocent eyes.
Li Ren knew in his heart that a robbery with the collusion of soldiers and bandits last night had deeply hurt these kind people. He patiently said to the people below: "Folks, don't be afraid, I am here to admit my mistakes to everyone. I believe you know that some of the people who were killed in the fire and robbed were executed last night, and you also know that there are still some people who have not been executed, and I am here today to give you an explanation. ”
As soon as Li Ren finished speaking, he heard someone who didn't know what to say: "Those are all your soldiers, and it's not up to you to decide what you want!" ”
Rather than being angry with the speaker, Rihito said with a smile: "You may not know that the military discipline of our Suzaku Army is quite strict, and the people who participated in the looting last night were newcomers who had just joined our Suzaku Army. But even if they are first-time offenders, they cannot be forgiven. You can rest assured that I will not take sides. After saying to the blind dates in the audience, Liren angrily ordered: "Bring me those people who are robbing in flames!" ”
After a while, the soldiers escorted about 20 people who had been stripped of their uniforms and wore white underwear to the stage. When he came to the stage, some people were arrogant and said: "For this little thing, I think he dares to kill us!" Some timid looked at Liren and just kowtowed and admitted his mistake, and swore a curse: "Lord, forgive us this time, please!" ”
Rihito looked at these people who had sworn by him when he joined the Suzaku Army, and his heart was just ruthless. Ruthlessly, he turned around and looked at the audience and said with a megaphone: "Blind dates, these people are the people who participated in the robbery last night and were not executed on the spot, are there any sufferers down there?" If you have anything, you can come and recognize it, and see if my Vermilion Bird Army is what you say to protect your subordinates! ”
After Liren finished speaking, there was silence below, and the voice just now did not sound. After waiting for a long time, no one dared to come up and recognize people. At this moment, there was a commotion in the crowd below, and I saw many Suzaku soldiers wearing military uniforms to come to the stage. When they saw Liren on the stage, they knelt on the ground and pleaded loudly: "Lord! For the sake of them being first-time offenders, you can spare them for once. We're here to thank you. ”
