Chapter 189: Whipping in public
The next morning, Li Yan, who was in the blacksmith workshop, was found by Zhang Yi and said that there was a vicious brawl in "Baoyue Tower". One of the yacha was wounded, and it was one of their officers who was arrested, and the Su County Commander had already sent a fire to take people, and Li Mu had already rushed over with people.
Li Yan put down the fire gun in his hand and immediately rushed over.
By the time Li Yan arrived at the "Baoyue Tower", a confrontation had already formed here. The army and the yacha are facing each other.
Li Yan immediately called Li Mu over and asked the reason. It turned out that Shi Jincai stayed here for the night, and when he got up the next day, he had no money to pay. Shi Jincai didn't plan to pay the bill, so he wanted to leave directly, but was stopped by the worship of "Baoyue Tower". The two worshippers were not ready, and they were attacked by Shi Jincai. However, these two worshippers are Lian Jiazi in the end, and after a few beatings, there is no panic, and they can deal with it.
But Shi Jin is the kung fu who fights on the battle array, and every attack is aimed at the vital point, and he is full of momentum and indomitable. The two worshippers were also unwilling to risk their lives at the risk of death or serious injury, and finally formed a confrontation situation. "Baoyue Building" had no choice but to notify their backstage Zhang Dianshi.
Zhang Dianshi sent several members of his family out, and these family members were all official officials, and they were going to arrest Shi Jincai. Shi Jincai didn't take the identity of the government in his eyes at all, and beat these yacha violently, seriously injuring one of them, and the others didn't dare to approach. These officials had no choice but to let people go to the county government to rescue the soldiers.
The matter became more and more troublesome, and first the officials patrolling the streets found out about the brawl. They found that there were Li Yan's subordinates inside, so they hurriedly went to inform the barracks in the city. After that, Li Mu rushed over with the soldiers, and he bumped into Wang Bantou who was holding the fire stick. The leader of the Wang class was ordered by the county magistrate, and he didn't dare to hand over the business empty-handed. Shi Jin is Li Mou's brother, and naturally he will not let the yacha take people away, so the two sides are deadlocked.
Li Yan called out the boss of "Baoyue Building" and asked, "Boss Fang, how much do my people owe you?" ”
Boss Fang was also a little scared, he didn't expect the army's reaction to be so big, and he actually confronted the people of the county government. He said carefully: "I owe a total of eighty-four taels and seven dollars." ”
Li Yanyi frowned, feeling a little much.
Without waiting for Li Yan to ask, Boss Fang hurriedly explained: "Now that the price of food is already high, our consumption here is also higher, otherwise there will be no money for the girls to eat." This military master played a tea party, ate a banquet, and wrapped the top brand 'Yizhi Mei', this price is really fair. ”
Li Yan knew now, even if Shi Jincai wanted to give money, he couldn't afford it. They are still giving daily necessities such as food and cloth as military salaries, Shi Jin is a person who likes to drink wine and eat meat, and he is single, and the extra food has long been replaced by wine and meat into his stomach.
"Go to the house to get the money and settle the account for Boss Fang." Li Yan instructed Zhang Yi.
Zhang Yi nodded, and rode back to withdraw the money. After that, Li Yan didn't say anything, just sat on the horse, waiting for Zhang Yi to get the money back.
"Do you really want to give him so much?" Li Mu asked in a low voice.
Li Yan reprimanded in a low voice: "Shut up! Look at the people you bring! My team, there is no vice of looting! ”
"Isn't he drunk?" Li Mu also wanted to give Shi Jincai a few sentences, after all, he was the old brother who followed him.
Li Yan no longer paid attention to Li Mou. When Zhang Yi took the money, Li Yan asked Zhang Yi to give the money to Boss Fang, a total of ninety taels of silver.
He saw that Boss Fang had taken the money, so he said: "Please talk to Boss Fang and Wang Bantou, we have solved this matter, so there is no need for the yamen to come forward." ”
Boss Fang was a little embarrassed, but he knew that now he was on the weak side, and these soldiers were not something he could afford to provoke. So he had no choice but to talk to Wang Bantou.
Wang Bantou was not embarrassed by Boss Fang, but came to Li Yan's horse and arched his hand: "General Li, we came with the fire sign of the county honor, so it's not good to go back empty-handed." ”
"Please rest assured, I will go and talk to the county later." Li Yan said with a tense face.
Wang Bantou then hugged his fists and said: "Although General Li acts, we are just spectators. When General Li goes to the county office, I will go back with the general. ”
"The head of the team is casual." Li Yan nodded. After that, he ordered Li Mou: "Arrest people!" ”
Li Mu said: "Take it back and dispose of it, after all, it's our old brother, let's give some face." ”
Li Yan scolded: "What face?!" After he finished eating, drinking, and having fun, he would have face if he didn't give the money?! ”
Li Mu was helpless, so he had no choice but to wave his hand and order: "Arrested!" ”
Shi Jincai did not resist either, and let the soldiers next to him grab his arm. He kept staring at Li Yan on the horse, and the resentment in his heart became more and more intense.
Li Yan ordered: "Ten lashes first!" When I go back to the barracks, I will play 20 boards! ”
The soldiers first glanced at Li Mou and saw that Li Mu did not object, so they began to pick up Shi Jincai's clothes.
Shi Jincai shook his hands, shook off the two soldiers who grabbed him, and said loudly: "Lao Tzu comes by himself, you don't need to do it!" As he spoke, he took off his shirt, fell to the ground, stared at Li Yan, and shouted, "Let's fight!" ”
Li Yan frowned and said, "What, you're still not convinced?!" ”
Shi Jincai gritted his teeth and didn't speak.
Li Mu hurriedly went over, kicked Shi Jincai down, and shouted, "Are you still reasonable?!" Convinced or not! ”
Shi Jincai gritted his teeth and looked at Li Mu, and after a while, he stood up and said in a low voice: "Serve!" ”
Li Mu hurriedly said to Li Yan: "He said that he was convinced. ”
Li Yan didn't care about Li Mou's protection, waved his hand, and ordered: "Execution!" ”
Sun Sifu came to Shi Jincai's back with a whip, and first hugged his fists and said, "Mr. Shi, I'm offended." ”
"Just come, it's not a good man to scream!" Shi Jincai said stiffly.
After Sun Sifu waved the whip, the whirring sound of breaking the air sounded, and then there was a crisp sound of "pop" and "pop", and the whip fell on Shi Jincai's back.
Shi Jincai stiffened his muscles and didn't scream, but the sweat on his forehead was already flowing down like a stream. The whip marks on his back also quickly swollen, and blood oozed out, making people tremble and numb when they looked at it.
"Oh, this is a real fight." A person watching the excitement whispered.
"It's not, this General Li is really a hand. But it really has the style of Grandpa Yue. ”
"It's all the children of the displaced people who have been settled outside, and it's normal to have such unruly people. Only by beating can their bandit spirit be removed. ”
……
Looking at the lively city people, they whispered in twos and threes. In their eyes, these soldiers were all strangers, and they were far away from them. Today is just a lively day, and there are more after-dinner conversations.
Soon, Sun Sifu finished ten lashes. The two soldiers hurriedly stepped forward and held the crumbling Shi Jincai up.
Li Yan ordered: "Bring it back to Beidaying!" Gather the whole army and send representatives to those who are stationed in the villages outside the city! ”
Li Mu knew that Li Yan was really angry, so he didn't dare to persuade him, so he had to obey the order.
