Yu Yongkai led a group of people all over the village to arrest the people who escaped before, and there were people who were still holding on to testify, plus the whole village was so big, these people had nowhere to run, and it didn't take long for most of them to be arrested.

Seeing that Liu Ximing led a group of guards to rush over, Yu Yongkai immediately led people to meet him: "Second brother, who fled before, has arrested 148 people to the scene, including 35 people from Long Xiangqu and 113 people from Zhuangding, and I also asked the second brother to send ......." ”

Liu Ximing saw Yu Yongkai's expression of wanting to speak and stopped, and asked coldly: "Say, what else do you want to say, are you planning to ask these people to intercede?" ”

Yu Yongkai's face was entangled for a while, then he gritted his teeth and said: "Second brother, although these people are said to have committed a big crime, but our Zhuangzi has only just been newly built, if the punishment is heavy, I am afraid that people's hearts will fluctuate." ”

Hmph, Liu Xi wants to have a problem if he is not heavily punished, seeing that Yongkai is also worried about the Liu family, he doesn't blame much, shakes his hand to signal that he knows, and walks straight to this group of people.

Before, he ordered all the people in the village to come and watch, but now in front of so many people, Liu Ximing directly pointed at these deserters and scolded:

"Before the creation of the Dragon Song, Lao Tzu never thought that there would be such a thing as today, what kind of days did you guys live before? They are all unclothed and can't eat enough, now what? Lao Tzu takes care of you every day, makes you new clothes, and gives you a house to live in, and that's how you repay me? ”

Liu Ximing scolded while constantly walking back and forth in front of the crowd, obviously angry, and his voice became higher and higher.

"If it weren't for Emperor Ziwei's blessing and God's opening of his eyes today, we would all have been slaughtered by thieves by now, the reason is very simple, it is because you brute scum escaped from the battle. Speaking of running, where can you run, can you run out of this village, and will the thieves not kill you because you have run away? ”

"The people who cleaned up the battlefield just now reported to me, today we probably killed more than 500 thieves and captured more than 1,300 people, but only more than 200 people were killed on the frontal battlefield, and the rest were all killed and captured when they fled, do you bastards still think it is useful to escape?"

Although Liu Ximing had been instilling the role of the formation in the troops, of course, these theoretical knowledge were not as shocking as the actual battlefield data.

Most of the deserters were also stunned when they heard this, and even fewer died if they didn't run away, and with the disdainful eyes of the women and children next to them, a group of people were ashamed and wanted to go underground.

Liu Ximing finally controlled his emotions, looked at the deserter with his head lowered, and said with a pale face: "According to the laws of this dynasty, anyone who escapes from the battle should be beheaded!" ”

"Two less

Spare your life."

"Second Young Master, let me go"

……

The captives below exploded all at once, and the cries and begging for mercy continued, and the women and children standing by and watching were also stunned, and begged for mercy one by one.

Liu Ximing looked at the reaction at the scene, and found that they were basically begging for mercy and admitting their mistakes, and there were few people who dared to resist, he was satisfied, it seemed that he had developed some prestige in the hearts of the villagers for so long.

In fact, the so-called beheading according to the law is not a liar, Liu Ximing is not a court official, and Long Xiangqu is not a court army, where does he get the power to kill people, this is just a routine for him to subdue people's hearts.

"The imperial court decrees are like this, and you should have waited for the Fa today, but for the sake of your fellow villagers, today I will surround your life, but the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped, and the people who come will expel all these fugitives from this village from now on."

The captives had not yet recovered from the joy of survival, and they were beaten by the punishment of expulsion, and everyone finally found a place to stay, this month of food and good accommodation, who would want to go outside to live a life of exile without a meal, everyone kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Liu Ximing pretended to be angry and shouted: "I want this, I want that, you gang are so greedy." Since you want to live a good life, why do you dare to be greedy for life and fear death, and don't listen to orders, do you want Lao Tzu to fight for you alone? ”

This sentence is not only for the captives, but also for everyone present, the so-called killing chickens and monkeys, the key is to set an example to the monkeys, Liu Ximing saw that everyone present was all bowing their heads and did not dare to speak, and felt that the effect was almost achieved, so he gave Yu Yongkai and others a look, and motioned them to find a step.

Mu Jingnan reacted quickly, he wanted to rush to speak, but he was stared at by Yu Yongkai, and he shrank back in fright.

Yu Yongkai brewed his emotions for a while, and suddenly knelt down in front of Liu Ximing, and said in a condensed voice: "If it weren't for the second brother, all of us would have to die, and these wolf-hearted people don't know how to be grateful, even if they kill them, they should be killed." But who doesn't know the second brother's benevolence and righteousness, otherwise where would he take us in, in my opinion, it is better to punish these people, and then let everyone swear allegiance to the second brother in front of the statue of the Ziwei Emperor in the village temple, obey the second brother's orders, and if there are any people who dare to offend next time, we will punish them together! ”

"Ask the second brother for mercy." Mu Jingnan and the others then knelt down and pleaded, which can be regarded as finding a good step for Liu Ximing.

Liu Ximing sighed: "Hey, don't teach and punish the abuse, just like Yongkai said, now each of you will be whipped fifty, and the expulsion team that originally belonged to Long Xiangqu is not disagreed?" ”

When the deserters heard this, they immediately turned their worries into joy, and their hanging hearts were finally put down, and everyone nodded desperately with joy on their faces:

"We are willing to serve the sentence, thank you for the grace of the second young master."

The three of Liu Jianhou's master and servant originally planned to wander around the village, but they were attracted by the crowd and followed, seeing this scene, Liu Xuan whispered to Liu Jianhou: "Master, this young man is not simple. ”

It's not simple, Liu Jianhou thought in his heart that the person who was going to be beaten was elated, it could be regarded as an old scheming, playing with people's hearts and applauding, this is a trick that only a seasoned official can do.

"Long Xiangqu, execution, just here in public."

Liu Ximing made a big move and directly asked Long Xiangqu's people to carry out the execution, and there were bursts of whipping and cries of pain on the field.

Ma chicken, do you want to be ruthless again, if you want to rectify discipline, you will rectify it to the end, but it hurts, Liu Ximing was a little hesitant, he originally planned to follow the routine of the ancients to punish himself to strictly enforce the law and discipline, but when he saw the scene on the field, he was a little painful.

Forget it, a man has to be ruthless to himself, if he wants to do something big, what are he going to do, Liu Ximing was entangled until the deserters were beaten, he finally made up his mind, and pretended to be resolute and walked a few steps forward.

"People can't do without a leader, soldiers don't move without generals, cultivate the law, rectify the discipline, so for the generals. Now that Long Xiangqu is fleeing from the battle, although the deserters are guilty, I, the commander-in-chief, will not escape the fault of not knowing the law and inappropriate command, and I will be whipped fifty in public. ”

After saying that, Liu Ximing walked towards the execution stool, Yu Yongkai and the others were shocked, and they all knelt down and pleaded: "Second brother, you are the head of a village, so there is a reason for the leader to be punished." ”

Liu Ximing thought that he had already begun to pretend to be forced anyway, so he simply pretended to be thorough, and he generously refuted: "It is precisely because I am the leader that everyone is guilty, and everyone is guilty, and they can all be blamed on me, if I evade the guilt, how will I serve the public in the future?" Yu Yongkai, carry out the order! ”

didn't wait for others to stop him, Liu Xi ordered three times to divide five by two, took off his shirt and lay on the stool, and finally practiced the skill of taking off his clothes from the enemy, he was very familiar with this.

Yu Yongkai was urged by Liu Ximing all the time, so he had to hesitantly pick up the whip and walked over to prepare for the execution.

If modern people watch it, they must know that Liu Ximing is putting on a show, but in this era, for people who have not experienced urban routines, they still don't know how deep the water is for Comrade Liu.

But before Yongkai's whip was thrown down, a panicked voice came from far and near: "Report, a large number of people and horses are approaching outside the city gate!" ”

"What?"

Liu Ximing was so shocked that he jumped up from the stool all of a sudden, did the fuck come to the hotel, and they came again and again.
