More than 30 human heads were inserted on both sides of the road outside the east gate of the city.

The execution was over, and the onlookers slowly left, and everyone talked excitedly about the beheading as they walked, and some said that their faces were flushed and drunk.

Watching executions and killings seems to have become a rare pastime.

Luo Cheng was a little silent.

In a short period of time, outside the east city gate, many people have been killed in a row. The heads of the prisoners who collaborated with the last bandit on the side of the road have not yet been corrupted, and many new heads have been added.

"Give each of the brothers who are executed by the knife a reward of 100 yuan to go to bad luck." Luo Cheng commanded a little unexpectedly.

The people who were arranged to be executed and beheaded were all brothers in the county barracks, and those who had never seen blood were specially selected, and letting them be responsible for the execution was also to exercise their courage.

"It's cheap, and you have to pay a hundred rewards." The fourth laughed.

Hei Ye said, "Anyway, this is the rule, those who hold the knife and cut off the head have a hundred rewards, but as usual, this money will not be put into the bag, and it will be taken out for treats, and everyone will buy wine and meat to eat and spend it for a meal." ”

The second brother-in-law, Wang Ziming, said, "Little Wu, County Lieutenant Du sentenced the wives of those condemned prisoners to our county barracks, is it possible that we really want to build a prostitute camp?" ”

Military prostitutes are not a mysterious thing, as early as the Han Dynasty, there were military prostitutes in the army. These military prostitutes came from the families of criminals, such as Li Ling, the grandson of the flying general Li Guang, who led his army to fight the Huns, and there were military soldiers in his army at that time.

The historical records record the origin of the military tactics in Li Ling's army, saying that it was the Kwantung group of thieves who migrated to the border.

And the criminal law of the Great Sui also says that since the Wei and Jin dynasties, those who commit serious capital crimes will be supplemented by their wives. And in the criminal law of the Southern Dynasty Liang, there is also an article, all the robberies are beheaded, and the wife is replenished.

This is a tradition, the wives of those who are severely executed will end up miserable and replenish the army.

Of course, women don't go to fight as supplementary soldiers, but actually become military prostitutes with the army, and the end is miserable.

Du Ruhui beheaded more than 30 people, and then sentenced the wives of these people to be reinforces for the Zhangqiu County Barracks.

Escorted to the border to replenish the troops, and had to send someone to escort them, which was time-consuming and laborious, so Du Ruhui was directly sent to Luo Cheng's county barracks. Anyway, this big case was cracked this time, and it was all the credit of Luo Cheng's county barracks.

"These women are also wretched." Luo Cheng sighed.

Although there has been no shortage of prostitutes and women in all dynasties and generations from ancient times to the present, Luo Cheng still finds it difficult to accept that there is an extra prostitute camp in his army.

"Xiao Wu, the county lieutenant has already sentenced the person to us, we have the responsibility of custody and supervision, you can't let it go, and you have no right to let it go, otherwise it will be a dereliction of duty." Wang Ziming reminded Luo Cheng.

The county barracks were mainly composed of young men, and there were also many brave men who had been selected from the county town and other township regiments, and if there was a prostitute camp in the camp, I was afraid that these people would not let go of these poor women.

After thinking about it, Luo Cheng said, "Last time, I discussed with the county lieutenant that I would send three hundred brothers to the mountains to garrison, and then a team of people would be stationed at a military station, and the county would give us the land reclaimed by those fugitives to support ourselves, and some slaves would be pulled out for us." I think it's better to let these women go over there and go to the tuntian. ”

"Tuntian? Waste, right? "There is humanity.

"The county barracks I built are warriors, not beasts. These women are also poor people, being tuntian slaves is already a punishment, we can no longer ravage them, let them help tuntian, do what they can, support themselves, and help us cultivate land and grow food. ”

The wives of these criminals who replenish the army are already slaves, and they don't want to turn over again in their lives, but Luo Cheng still wants to give them some mercy.

The children of these women were also kept as slaves, and they were placed together as families as they could, so that they could take care of each other. Also, tell the brothers in the camp not to bully these women. If anyone dares to deceive these women, I will enforce the military law and punish him for adultery. ”

Everyone will have a beast of desire in their hearts, but they will be locked up in the depths of their hearts. But if it is released, it will be difficult to close it again. Luo Cheng didn't want his county barracks to become an army of beasts one day.

County office.

After the county lieutenant Du Ruhui retried the file of the cattle theft and slaughter case, he signed it and asked his subordinates to take it for archiving.

After sitting for a while, he took out an envelope and began to write a letter.

The letter was written to Gao Xiaoji, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, and he wrote in detail about his various observations and discoveries after arriving in Zhangqiu, including the contest and reconciliation between him and Zhang Yichen and Luo Cheng, and wrote about the current situation here, and finally wrote about the cattle robbery and slaughtering gang case.

In the letter, he spoke highly of Luo Cheng, saying that although Luo Cheng was young, he was indeed very talented, and he had some misunderstandings about Luo Cheng before. He even said a lot of good things to his teacher Gao Shilang for Luo Cheng, saying that with Luo's talent, he could give him a real job.

He felt that it was okay for Luo Cheng to be awarded a master or a county lieutenant.

In the end, he recommended a friend in the letter to serve as the governor of Zhangqiu County.

Fang Qiaoxiang, the son of Yingchuan County Cheng Fang Yanqian, is famous, he was admitted to the Jinshi at the age of eighteen, and he was awarded the Yu Cavalry Captain, and he served as the Xicheng County Lieutenant, and he was very talented. Now that he is studying under the name of the Great Confucian Wangtong, I beg the teacher to let him be the Cheng of Zhangqiu County.

And implored Gao Xiaoji to choose a capable and practical new master book for Zhang Qiu, he didn't want the kind of person who can only talk and has no experience to be the master bookkeeper.

Zhangqiu was in turmoil, and there was an urgent need for young officials who were capable and practical to come and take up their posts.

Du Ruhui's letter was sent to Daxing.

The letter was still on the way, but Zhang Xutuo, the county minister, came to Zhangqiu again.

Zhang Xutuo has not been in office for a long time in the county seat of Qi County, and nine counties in the county have been inspected, but none of the counties have come as many times as Zhangqiu.

But this time, Zhang Xutuo didn't just make routine rounds.

He's here to give a reward.

This is the reward for suppressing bandits and quelling chaos last time.

Last time, he recommended Zhang Qiu Wei for Luo Cheng, but he didn't give it to him.

Now the imperial court has rewarded the soldiers of the counties who suppressed the bandits and quelled the chaos, and Luo Cheng was among them.

He was promoted to a first-level rank from the previous Captain of the Ninth Rank of Lixin, and was awarded the rank of Fengcheng Lieutenant from the Eighth Rank. And in addition, the imperial court also officially awarded the original temporary errand of the county and county barracks, the captain.

The county barracks are subordinate to the county soldier system, and the captains are set up as the ninth rank, which is the same level as the team of the Twelve Guards Eagle Yang Mansion.

The lieutenant of the county barracks is in charge of 500 county soldiers, but he is only at the same level as the guard team in charge of 50 people, so it can be seen that the county soldiers are far inferior to the order of government soldiers.

But after all, this is a high-ranking official position.

Although Luo Cheng had a loose rank before, his lieutenant was not an official official, and now, he has finally become a righteous Great Sui official, although he is only the second to last position among the rank officials, but he has finally really entered the official career.

Luo Cunxiao, Luo Siye and other team leaders in the county barracks were also awarded ranks this time, but they only awarded the rank but not the officer, and the entire county barracks had the positions of Captain Luo Cheng and Deputy Captain Lao Jia.

The following regimental captains, brigade commanders, team leaders, etc., although they also have the same name as the government soldiers, but there is no corresponding grade, this time because of the merit of suppressing bandits and quelling the chaos, they were awarded a loose rank from the ninth rank of Lixin Lieutenant.

Since then, he has been regarded as an official, but he has not yet had a formal official position.

"Lao Tzu is from the ninth grade, and finally has a grade!" When the fourth child heard his reward, he couldn't help crying with joy, this official fan finally got his wish.
