Chapter 114: Angry Punishment
Only to hear the thunderous roar explode, everyone was shocked. The general at the head of the group rose up in a hurry, glared and shouted: "Where did you come from, do you know that I am the nephew of Shangshu Ling Yang Biao - Yang Ming is also!" Don't hurry up and kneel down and beg for mercy, otherwise don't blame Yang for being rude!! ”
"How can you just beg for mercy!? Come on, take this person down for me, and beat him to death!! Another general, who seemed to be used to being rampant and domineering, was drunk like this by Pound, and saw that he didn't look like a Luoyang person at all, so he had evil thoughts and wanted to take people's lives.
"Hahaha~~!! If you don't agree with each other, you will be beaten to death with a stick, you wait for these gentlemen, they are really lawless, it's not good to teach a lesson, you really don't know how thick the sky is!! Hu Che'er laughed loudly, not afraid, and dozens of soldiers around him immediately rushed up to fight with their mighty sticks. Hu Che'er walked quickly to the right, and a soldier twisted the stick and smashed it, but Hu Che'er smashed the stick with a broken fist, and then hit the soldier's face door, screaming, and the whole person fled backwards.
At the same time, Pound also rushed to the left, snatched the sweeping mighty stick with one hand, twisted it and hit the other rushing soldier, and with a 'bang', the mighty stick cracked on the spot. The man's head was bleeding and he fell to the ground and rolled.
Everyone saw that Pang De and Hu Che'er were so fierce that they were so frightened that they changed color repeatedly. Between the lightning and flint, Pang De and Hu Che'er raised their fists and rushed into the crowd, like two fierce beasts that pounced on the flock, beating a group of soldiers to run wildly, overturning and rolling to the ground. The general on the left was frightened, and when he saw Pound rushing forward, he hurriedly fled, but was grabbed by Pound and thrown at the ground, and the soldier was immediately knocked to the ground by the flying soldiers, screaming in pain. Pound hurried to catch up, the general was discouraged, hurriedly pulled the blade, but was rushed by Pound, kicked away, and the palm of his hand also made a crisp sound, and was kicked by Pound to break the bone, screaming in pain, rolling to the ground and begging for mercy.
On the other side, Hu Che'er didn't know when he grabbed two mighty sticks, swept and chopped, and killed in chaos, the general on the right, seeing it, took out a sharp sword, and rushed towards Hu Che'er with a fierce blow. Hu Che'er greeted him with a stick in his left hand, and the sharp sword cut off the mighty stick at the moment, Hu Che'er's mighty stick in his other hand had already swept over, and the head of the general was in the middle, and with a 'snap', the mighty stick burst open at the same time, and the soldier fell straight to the ground and fainted on the spot.
"From today onwards, we are the lieutenants here! Who would dare to rebel!? Hu Che'er roared, and the soldiers around him were already timid, and when they heard it, they dared to do it, and they knelt on the ground to worship their sins.
That Yang Ming was already frightened, and hurriedly knelt down and bowed: "A good man spares his life, a good man spares his life!" The little one is guilty, and I ask the two good men to hurt the little one, the little one has brittle bones since he was a child, and he can't stand to fight!! ”
Pang De and Hu Che'er were obedient, but they still cared about the Yang family behind Yang Ming. The two looked at each other. Hu Che'er shouted: "Come on, tie up all these people for me." Inform the people outside to gather outside the city immediately, dare to be lazy, these people are their fate!! ”
Hu Che'er ordered together, and several young generals hurriedly received orders, each commanding. As for Yang Ming's generals, they were tied up by Hu Che'er and Pang De personally.
It is said that the soldiers gathered under the city listened to the turmoil in the city, and they did not change color. Soon after, however, there was a commotion and shouts in the city, and the soldiers rushed down to the city in a panic. Everyone couldn't help but look incredulous.
When he was young, all the soldiers in the city came to assemble, but Ma Zongheng asked them all to line up on the side. Suddenly, Pang De and Hu Che'er escorted Yang Ming's three generals to arrive.
"Get on your knees!!" Ma Zongheng's face was cold, and he roared, which was a little more powerful than the roars of Pang De and Hu Che'er, like a thunderbolt, which frightened Yang Ming's three generals and those soldiers who had just arrived and quickly knelt on the ground.
"Hmph, toast and don't eat and drink! It's all a bully, right!? Zhongye, despise the Shang generals, slack off the whole army, according to military law, what crime should be committed!? Ma Zongheng shouted coldly. When Wen Ping heard this, he replied busily: "Return to the general!" The rod is beaten thirty, and then determined according to the situation, if the situation is bad, it should be cut and decided, and the military degree has been certified, if the situation is less serious, remove from the military and expel from the army! ”
"Good! The country has national laws, and the family has family rules, and anyone who neglects will be beaten with thirty military rods first. As the leader of the three generals, they knew the law and broke the law, forgave the situation was still light, the death penalty was exempted, and after beating them with a cane for thirty, they were all expelled from the army! Ma Zongheng said quickly, his eyes seemed to glow fiercely. That Yang Ming's eyes widened, he didn't expect Ma Zongheng's methods to be so ruthless, and hurriedly said: "The general forgives his sins!" I am Shangshu Ling Yang Biao! ”
"In the army, the law is supreme, even if you are the king of heaven, I will be punished according to the same situation!!" Ma Zongheng didn't wait for Yang Ming to finish speaking, and interrupted sharply. Those soldiers who came early saw that Ma Zongheng was strict in governing the army and was not afraid of power, and they all admired it in their hearts.
"Wei Fei! Don't teach people to execute yet!? Zhongye, you are overseeing! But if someone dares to show mercy to his subordinates, they will be convicted of a crime and beaten with a rod for thirty! Just when everyone was stunned by Ma Zongheng's resolute methods, Ma Zongheng immediately instructed Wei Fei and Wen Ping.
"General, it's going to be executed here!?" At this time, many people had gathered in the city, pointing fingers and talking about it. After all, Yang Ming's people were from a family, Wei Fei was worried, and as he spoke, he gestured with his eyes. Ma Zongheng didn't pay attention to it at all, and said heavily: "It's here!" ”
Wei Fei's heart was shocked, but he was not disappointed, but he felt a little hot in his heart, and he was anxious to shout angrily, and first taught someone to get the military staff. When the soldiers who had been punished saw this, they cried out for mercy. Yang Ming's three of the three fainted to death, was woken up by a soldier splashed with water, came back to his senses, only to realize that he had been caught, and saw Yang Ming being tied up by five flowers, so he knew that it was not good, and he actually scolded.
"Wait for these barbarians, how dare you do this to Lao Tzu!! Uncle Lao Tzu is Shaofu Huang Wan, he knows that he will never spare you~~!! "The drinker's name is Huang Bin, from the Huang family. The Huang family is a Jiangxia family, and Huang Wan's grandfather Huang Qiong even worshiped Taiwei.
When Ma Zongheng heard this, his face turned cold, and he shouted: "Despise the shang, speak disrespectfully, and repeat offenders!" What is the crime!? ”
"Twenty more staffs! Enslave and repair the city for three years! Wen Ping replied quickly. At this time, the soldiers who had taken their staffs came back.
After Ma Zongheng asked the man's name, he shouted: "Huang Bin will be beaten with a total of eighty rods, and the rest will be thirty each, and they will be executed immediately!" ”
Ma Zongheng cheered together, Huang Bin was like a thunderbolt from the sky, he was stunned for a while, and the whole person was stupid. Wei Fei didn't dare to slack off, he was busy teaching the soldiers to take place, and with an order, a thick military staff, the staff reached the flesh, and for a while, the miserable screams sounded everywhere. Some people passed out without ten rods. Wen Ping was watching from the side, so that Wei Fei did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and hurriedly taught the soldiers who had stopped to continue the execution, which made some people who wanted to play dead and get through the trick screaming again.
Soon the terrible screams turned into terrible wails. Ma Zongheng's face was still cold, and he had no mercy at all, and when he hit almost twenty rods, Yang Ming fainted first. As for that Huang Bin, although he is really good-looking, he has also been beaten to a blurred consciousness. After a while, except for Huang Bin, the rest of the thirty military staff were all beaten, and nearly half of them fainted to death, and those who could still maintain their sanity even became weak and screamed weakly.
The general who was responsible for punishing Huang Bin, seeing that Huang Bin's skin was already rotten, still didn't dare to start, and hurriedly said: "General, if you continue to fight, I'm afraid that this person will be beaten to death!" ”
"Hit!" Ma Zongheng tilted his head, his eyes glared, and the fierce light was revealed. The general was frightened, his heart was timid, and he saw that Ma Zongheng's methods were ruthless, how dare he slack off again, and he would beat him with a stick. Huang Bin boiled three more sticks, and with a 'wow', he passed out. At this time, Wei Fei hurriedly rushed to Ma Zongheng's ear and muttered a few words, probably saying something to intercede for Huang Bin, but Ma Zongheng was scolded and retreated.
One stick after another, it can be seen that the flesh and blood are flying, and everyone is timid, or they still feel the strictness of military regulations in their lives.
After the fifty canes were beaten, Huang Bin seemed to have turned into a pile of rotten meat that couldn't move. Ma Zongheng said coldly: "Old Hu, you take a few soldiers to send this Huang Bin home first, and when his injuries are healed, let him serve his sentence immediately!" ”
When Hu Che'er heard this, his expression was shocked, and he immediately received his order. Ma Zongheng immediately affirmed the ban to everyone, strict regulations, everyone has seen Ma Zongheng's majesty, no one dares to be presumptuous, one by one. Ma Zongheng immediately let the crowd disperse, and ordered a group of generals to follow him to the enemy tower in the city and assign duties. None of the generals dared to slack off, as for Yang Ming and the other general, Ma Zongheng still had a trace of kindness and taught people to send them back.
So, on the first day of Ma Zongheng's tenure, he once again alarmed the entire Luoyang City. Ma Zongheng's severe punishment of Yang Ming, as well as the fact that Huang Bin was almost beaten to death, spread throughout Luoyang City overnight.
After He Jin learned about it, he appreciated Ma Zongheng's courage even more, and summoned him and the two deputy generals Pang De and Hu Che'er to the mansion that night to entertain him.
"Hahahaha~~!! Well played~~!! These children of the family, who boast of being extraordinary, have always despised the poor, and most of them are the children of the poor who have no one in their eyes. I think I was born lowly back then, and I secretly don't know how many times I was embarrassed and laughed at by these children of the family. Even if I now control the world's soldiers and horses and ascend to the position of a general, these children of the family still look down on me behind my back, and they all scold me as a butcher! What you do today can be regarded as a bad breath for all the officials and people who are from poor backgrounds, as well as those officials and people who have been bullied by the children of the world for a long time!! He Jin laughed loudly, and when he was overjoyed, he really showed his affection, and he seemed to be very relieved to see him like that.
However, it is said that during the Han Dynasty, the clans in various places have always been the party that controls the power, and they will naturally reject people from poor backgrounds and lowly status. As for the Han royal family, it is the largest family in the world, if it is not profitable or has extraordinary skills or other special reasons, these people will not be able to enter the eyes of the royal family at all. For example, in today's court, nine out of ten ministers are from families. He Jin can take on the position of a general, but he also relies on the relationship of his relatives. As for Zhang Rang's eunuchs, they often serve by Liu Hong's side, but after decades of careful management, they can win Liu Hong's favor, and the bitterness is beyond ordinary people's imagination.
This kind of atmosphere has been around for a long time, until the later Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the selection of talents in the nine products of the positive system, but also naked pay attention to the origin, the so-called 'upper grade no cold people, lower grade no scholars' can be seen.
Regarding He Jin's true feelings, Ma Zongheng secretly frowned, and then cast a look at Pang De and Hu Che'er, signaling to speak carefully and wait for the changes. The two of them will understand. Ma Zongheng immediately arched his hand and replied solemnly: "Yang Ming and Huang Bin rely on their identities, repeatedly despise the Shang generals, and neglect the army, Ma is just impartial law enforcement. ”
"Good! Zongheng is an upright person, which is really admirable. It's just that the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee are all from the family nine times out of ten, among which the Yang and Huang families have a lot of power in the DPRK. You have punished the children of his family so recklessly, and you must have caused a lot of trouble. But you don't have to worry too much, if there is anything important, you can consult with me! As long as you are reasonable, He will definitely protect you from loss!! He Jin's eyes were full of light, which could be described as a great favor.
Ma Zongheng's mind was spinning, and he secretly slandered: "It seems that He Suigao intends to promote me to suppress the power of the dynasty family. It turned out that I had offended the eunuch party of the DPRK and China, the Yuan brothers and that Cao Mengde were all harmful to me, it is better to deal with this He Sui first, with his secret protection, I don't have to tie my hands and feet, anyway, he won't be able to jump for long! ”
Ma Zongheng had a certain idea, so he was in a hurry to attend the seat, Pang De and Hu Che'er saw this, and they also hurriedly followed, and the three of them knelt down on one knee together. Ma Zongheng said with emotion: "Thanks to the general's attention, Zongheng is willing to die to repay the general's kindness!" ”
"Hahahaha~~!! Good, good, good~~!! Those who know the times are Junjie~! The future is immeasurable, the future is immeasurable~~!! ”
