Chapter 111: Hate House and Wu
"Do you want us to escort the prisoners north?"
The news brought back by Heifu caused an uproar in Huyang Pavilion.
"What kind of bird errand is this, didn't we serve the same service last year? And because he won the first place in the exercise, he was exempted from a one-year term. ”
Dongmen Leopard heard that he was also among the levies, so he was so angry that he yelled on the spot, changing the usual, this reckless husband would gladly go along, but now it is different.
His wife, already six months pregnant!
In the past six months, Dongmen Leopard has changed the bad habit of wandering around during the holidays, and runs home every time he rests. He also proudly showed off to everyone, saying that he was going to have a son, but he was counting his wife's birth period with his fingers, and now the county lieutenant's office issued an order, but he was asked to give up his pregnant wife, how could he be willing?
"This should be a military service, not a change of service."
Ji Ying on the side corrected so, but this made Dongmen Leopard even more desperate, and he only served in the nearest county, doing some civil engineering work, and went home in a month at most. However, military service is different in that it is sent to the border to serve in the garrison, which is generally for a year, and even longer in the event of continuous war.
This means that the Dongmen Leopard who went north to serve will miss the important moment of his life - holding the newborn child in his own hands and witnessing his life being extended in him......
"In a year's time, my son will be able to crawl all over the ground!"
He was so angry that he punched the pillar, and suddenly raised his head and said, "Heifu, you should come down like this?" ”
Since Heifu came back, he has been calm and did not speak, or Lixian on the side stood up and said: "The pavilion chief is subordinate to the county lieutenant, and there are orders and orders, if there is a refusal to object, it is disobedience, and he will be punished on the spot." begging for a thief, the pavilion chief is helpless about this matter. ”
Lixian knew that according to Qin law, "old" (elderly), "young" (children), "ringworm" (disabled) and other conditions could be exempted. The crowd does not belong to the above situation, so it stands to reason that it is not a problem to levy one or more of them alone.
But the strange thing is that in addition to Heifu, Dongmen Leopard, and Lixian, Xiao Tao and even the postman Ji Ying are also among the levies. Except for the elderly Pavilion Father and Yuliang, who has an average relationship with Heifu, everyone in Huyang Pavilion has almost been evacuated, which is too unusual, right?
It is better to paralyze the law and order of Huyang Pavilion, but also to let all the main forces of the whole pavilion obey in the north, and everyone can feel the deep resentment of the county lieutenant......
At this time, Heifu stood up and said to everyone: "This matter started because of me, and the county lieutenant has always resented me because of his nephew's former pavilion chief Zhen and his son-in-law Bin Baijiang. He didn't dare to make a mistake when the right lieutenant was there, but now that the right lieutenant has been transferred, the county lieutenant's office has become a hall of the Yun family, and he has begun to be unscrupulous. ”
Heifu was only half right, and the reason why Zuo Wei Yunman took revenge on him so quickly was precisely out of fear of him. In the past year, Heifu has been promoted to the rank of knight for meritorious service, and this speed has made the left lieutenant a little uneasy, so he wants to "deal with" Heifu before the new right lieutenant takes office.
He suffered a lot of anger in the county town today, but at this moment he could only continue to endure it, but he said with some sadness and indignation: "I also argued in front of Captain Zuo, saying that Huyang Pavilion can be without black husbands, but it must be without everyone, if the pavilion is emptied, local security, I'm afraid it will be chaos again!" ”
But Lieutenant Zuo didn't listen, and he repeated only one sentence.
Heifu looked at everyone's eyes and said, "If you don't obey, you will be punished for disobedience!" ”
"How unreasonable!" This is not only Dongmen Leopard, but even Ji Ying and Xiao Tao are also angry, which is too unfair.
After everyone had scolded enough, Heifu said again: "I have heard a saying, those who love others, those who hate others, and those who are on the house." Lieutenant Zuo wanted to take revenge on me, so he ordered me to escort the prisoners to the north, and the second and third sons had a close relationship with me in the past year, and they were said to be my cronies by the outside, so I was implicated, and the black man was ashamed. “
After speaking, he shook at everyone!
When Heifu said this, it was Dongmen Leopard, who had lost his temper just now, who was embarrassed first, and hurriedly returned the salute: "Fang is my anger for a while, and I don't choose what to say, this matter has nothing to do with Heifu, I blame that Zuo Wei Yunman, and declare personal vendettas!" ”
He was so angry that he suddenly said, "We can't let him do what he wants, so it's better to escape this battle......
As soon as the words ended, everyone was shocked, and Heifu even rebuked: "Never! This is self-defeating! Instead, he fell for the trick of the left lieutenant! ”
You must know that in the Qin State, there are two kinds of crimes of evading conscription, one is "doing things", that is, refusing to report to the place of conscription, and the punishment of the government for this is to give 50 lashes after being caught. If you leave and are late for any reason, the penalty is not so severe.
The second is "lack of resignation", which is to flee halfway after completing the assembly and eating the food provided by the government, which is even more serious, and will be punished as a city after being caught.
But you have to pay attention, this is only a punishment for serving a shift, if you dare to do this while serving military service, it is looking for death. Military service is a military recruitment, and the management of military soldiers refers to military law, and if you deliberately flee halfway, you will be executed as a deserter......
"Last year in Anlu County, a barbarian who lived on the bank of Yunmengze was requisitioned and sent to the border of Qianzhong County, and he ran away halfway through. After being captured, he quibbled that as a barbarian, he could be exempted from the duty as long as he paid a levy of 56 yuan a year. Having said that, the military service was not commuted, so he was still sentenced to be beheaded......"
After Heifu finished saying this, he stared at Dongmen Leopard and said: "Ah Leopard, if you escape and are caught, you will inevitably die, not only will you be affected, but your mother and wife will also be implicated." Your unborn child may also become a little subordinate and be disgraced by you for the rest of his life! ”
Dongmen Leopard broke out in a cold sweat, so he had to dispel this quick thought, scratched his head and said, "Then what should I do?" ”
"I went to the county jail to ask, and Captain Zuo's recruitment of soldiers this time was a little unreasonable, but it did not violate the law. Therefore, no one can say that he is not, and we can only obey our fate. ”
"Isn't that too embarrassing!" Dongmen Leopard gritted his teeth, and others felt the same way.
"Second and third sons, don't worry, my Heifu swears here."
Heifu clasped his fists at everyone and said, "Today, we are limited by our status and titles, and we cannot disobey orders. But a year later, when I return from service, I, Heifuding, will no longer be a small pavilion chief, I will be knighted for meritorious service on the battlefield, and strive to be higher than his Yunman! When the time comes, the Yun family will definitely be made to pay the price for today's injustice! ”
……
Heifu's words finally stabilized the "military heart" of everyone in Huyang Pavilion, whether they wanted to or not, everyone began to actively prepare for the military service in the north, or settle their families, or buy some winter clothes and equipment.
But three days later, when Heifu got the list of 50 prisoners they were going to escort in the county seat, he couldn't help but curse.
"This Lieutenant Zuo really won't give up if you don't put me to death!"
But I saw the names and origins of the people on the wooden slab, most of them were actually captured by Heifu himself in the past year and became prisoners!
From the businessman who falsely accused him and Ji Ying last year, to the two tomb robbers in the tomb robbery case, to the more than a dozen people from the blind mountain, when they looked up, the wooden skulls were densely packed, all of which were Heifu's enemies.
Heifu now completely understands why Wei Shi Anpu said that he would worry about his life when he was escorted north this time!
