The previous battle caused a lot of soldiers to die, so Liu Xia issued a lot of pensions, and at the same time, according to certain rules, the families of these martyrs were issued a certain amount of living expenses every month, although it was not much, but it could solve their most basic food problems. However, this has also led to corruption by some people.

Embezzling the soldiers' pensions is the most intolerable thing for Liu Xia, after all, these are the rewards that the soldiers have exchanged for their lives. In the Pingbei Army, the salary is not calculated according to the entire establishment and then issued according to the number of people, because the right to recruit soldiers is in the hands of Liu Xia, those generals outside have no right to recruit new soldiers, so Liu Xia can accurately know the specific number of each army, of course, there is also a loophole, that is, some generals do not report the dead soldiers for the food and salary of those soldiers. But this is very dangerous behavior, because if you find out, you will basically kill your head.

Therefore, some people have no way to embezzle the soldiers' salaries, so they extend their black hands to the pensions of the dead soldiers, most of these pensions are to the families of the dead soldiers, and most of these families are some rural peasant women and the like, naturally there is no legal concept, and they don't know how much the specific pension is. Therefore, some lawless soldiers can be embezzled.

Withholding the bereavement of the sacrificed soldiers, this not only made Liu Xia angry, but even those officers and soldiers were very angry. The incident eventually spread, and as a result, it led to a chain reaction, and the soldiers wrote letters to Liu Xia asking for severe punishment of these people. Those regiment commanders and brigade commanders also ran to Liu Xia's side one after another, asking Liu Xia to solve these tumors. In the past few days, Liu Xia has received more than 5,000 letters from various armies.

The main reason why the soldiers are willing to fight to the death is not because even if they die, their families will not starve to death because they have no man, because Liu Xia is still supporting them. Now these unscrupulous soldiers have deducted their pensions, which makes them worry about the situation of their families after their deaths. Liu Xia was well aware of the dangers of these things, so he urgently held a meeting with the representatives from various brigades in the armament academy in the afternoon of the same day to appease them.

At the same time, a large number of personnel from the Investigation Department were dispatched to arrest those lawless soldiers as quickly as possible. In order to prevent these military dogs from jumping over the wall, the personnel of the Investigation Division have infiltrated the various military units and conducted close surveillance.

The first officer to be arrested began to appear in this corruption case, and this officer was the commander of the third battalion of the Second Regiment of the Qinwei Brigade at the rank of Yang Wuxiao, and at the same time, the head of Xiaoli Village in the southeast of Luoyang City was also arrested. The head of Xiaoli Village was a veteran who had retired from the battlefield, and because one of his arms was cut off on the battlefield, he could no longer stay in the army, and was immediately placed in Xiaoli Village as the village head. Moreover, there are more than 20 families of martyrs in this Xiaoli Village. It is precisely because there are so many family members of the martyrs that this village chief is able to carry out corruption, so the head of Xiaoli Village and the commander of the third battalion of the Second Regiment of the Pro-Guard Brigade conspired to loot more than 20 family members.

According to the continuous arrests, it was found that the people who committed these crimes were all veterans of the past, and most of them were placed personnel, and because these personnel were not in the army, they had more social interactions, so many of them began to corrupt.

One morning eight days after the incident, today Liu Xia led the soldiers of the Guards and the men and horses of the Guards Brigade to the Battle Spirit Mausoleum, and at the same time brought more than 50 embezzlers who had been arrested. Among the more than 50 people, 40 of them are village chiefs and other personnel at the grassroots level, and more than 10 of them are military personnel. The highest of these positions is a deputy head of regiment. The lowest is a large captain.

Liu Xia looked coldly at the more than fifty people kneeling under the Battle Soul Monument in the center of the Battle Spirit Mausoleum, and said angrily: "You guys are really good!" Look what this place is! Some of the people buried here are your brothers, some are your relatives, some are your friends, but when they die, you go and humiliate their families and rob them of the rewards they have earned with their lives! Were you at peace with the money when you used it? ”

"Li Shanyong, deputy commander of the Second Regiment of the Pro-Guard Brigade, I remember that you were a person who was not afraid of death and was not greedy for wealth. Although General Ben doesn't know how you became like this, since you have violated military law, General Ben will not say much to you. You can plead guilty! ”

The military uniform that Li Shanyong had already taken off when he knelt on the ground, was lying on the ground crying bitterly at this time, and his future was very good. The officers of the Guards Brigade are the easiest to promote, and the monthly salary for a deputy regiment commander rank is also quite a lot. But because of the embezzlement, he will come to the end of his life. And even if he died, he was not qualified to be buried in this War Spirit Mausoleum, and it was impossible to leave property to the old and young in the family, and it was impossible for Liu Xia to let his family have the treatment of martyrs. At this time, Li Shanyong regretted it, and he regretted it very much.

"General, general, subordinates know their mistakes, subordinates know their mistakes. His subordinates deserve death. Beg the general to spare his life, beg the general to spare his life......" Li Shanyong shouted, and more than 50 other people also began to shout for help.

Liu Xia glanced at Li Shanyong and the others in disgust, and said, "Come on, according to the military law, what crime should these people be guilty of!" ”

At this time, a Fenwei lieutenant stood up, and the Fenwei lieutenant also glanced at these people with great disgust, and said: "According to military law, these people should be guilty of capital crimes!" ”

"Execute!"

Liu Xia's voice fell, and at this time, more than a hundred executioners walked up from the side, and the outer part of the Battle Spirit Mausoleum was covered with the families of the martyrs, most of these were the families of the martyrs who were oppressed by them, and some of them were the families of the martyrs in Luoyang City who came spontaneously, and they wanted to see the fate of these people.

"Kill him! Kill him! ”

"Kill him! Kill him! ”

Thousands of martyrs' families shouted in unison, and this sound suddenly boiled the originally quiet War Spirit Mausoleum, as if the thousands of dead martyrs buried in the ground were shouting. Many people suddenly felt the cold wind swishing.

"Could it be that the warriors have appeared!"

"Kill!"

The executioners neatly swung their broadswords and immediately cut off the heads of more than fifty people.

After this incident, the mood of the soldiers gradually recovered, and Liu Xia also promised that if such a thing was found again, he would be punished more severely, so Liu Xia made the soldiers support. Then there was the Imperial Monthly, which capitalized and featured Liu Xia's heroic anti-corruption.

When it was evening, Liu Xia finally finished the things and returned to the backyard of Zheng Guogong's mansion, and as soon as Liu Xia ran to the [Nuanxiang Pavilion] where Bian Yujing was located, it was already March at this time, which means that Bian Yujing had been pregnant for six months, and there were still four months to give birth.

Liu Xia even put a countdown outside the Warm Fragrance Pavilion, tearing off a piece of paper every month that passed. This made Bian Yujing feel happier and happier, and at the same time he was more interested in the child in his belly. "If the rest is a boy, it will be the eldest son, and he will be more likely to inherit Liu Xia's title in the future. If it is a daughter, then it is the eldest daughter, and it can be regarded as gold. ”

Kou Baimen's belly was also bigger at this time, and Kou Baimen was a few months pregnant at the same time as Bian Yujing, but it was also four months old at this time. Compared with Bian Yujing, Kou Baimen hopes that the child in his belly is a boy, because if it is a boy, then her status will be more stable, in this Hou Mansion Deep Palace, only if there is a son, then there can be all the wealth, even if they are clean and proud Qin Huai talented women.

Liu Xia walked to Bian Yujing's side, gently stroked Bian Yujing's belly, and said, "Look at the kid, you all start kicking your stomach!" ”

Bian Yujing chuckled and said, "How does the husband know that there is a boy in this belly." ”

Liu Xia smiled dryly: "Haha, I just know." ”

After hearing this, Bian Yujing sighed lightly: "Husband, what if there is a girl in this belly?" ”
