Chao Chong led the team into the village, and began to look for Baozheng according to the gourd painting, and then entered the village to distribute money. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The soldiers of the Liang army were immediately on alert.

Chao Chong saw a big black man with a haggard face, seven feet five inches long, purple begonia skin, and a fan-ring beard, which was the winged tiger thunder cross.

Name: Lei Heng (winged tiger)

Health: 2700/2700

Commander-in-Chief: 66

Force: 87

Intelligence: 51

Politics: 37

Glamour: 69

Affinity: Resentment

Characteristics: Superior arm strength (strong body, flexible and flexible in moving and jumping.) )

Liu Tang saw Lei Heng looking so embarrassed, he was happy in his heart and wanted to laugh out loud. But after thinking about it, Lei Heng's younger brother Lei Ting is the head of the first capital of the infantry, and he is Chao Chong's number one henchman. So he was silent, but looked at Lei Heng with schadenfreude.

Chao Chong coughed dryly, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Lei Heng and said, "Brother Lei, what's wrong with you." ”

Lei Heng said: "I have been hurt by your father and son, my mother and brother are okay on Liangshan?" ”

Chao Chong said: "Aunt and Thunder are all right. Why is Brother Lei so embarrassed? ”

Lei Heng snorted and said: "You still have the face to say, a month and a half ago, Lei Ting went home and took the old lady from the blacksmith shop to Chaofu, did you know that something was going to happen at that time?" Well! Don't notify me a word! Later, Chao Baozheng happened, and we followed He Tao to Dongxi Village to arrest people, do you know how many people I deliberately delayed all the way at that time, and how many people were sent to run from the small road to inform you? It's good that you guys are running away without a sound, and I'm worried in vain. ”

Chao Chong smiled: "Brother Laurey is worried, isn't it too late." ”

Lei Heng hated and said: "I am full of resentment towards your father and son, I think my younger brother Lei Ting, a talent, strong martial arts, I have been working up and down the county government, ready to let him enter the county government as a deputy team leader, stay up for ten or eight years, maybe he can become a capital head." What a bright future! But he has to follow you, and he has become a key criminal in the court! Do you say you're harmful? ”

Chao Chong smiled and said: "Yes, yes, you are angry, the situation is compelling, the situation is compelling." ”

For angry people, don't reason with him.

Lei Heng finished complaining, sat on the ground and said, "You have food and drink, I ran away all night, and I haven't eaten a drop of water so far." ”

Chao Chong hurriedly asked people to bring dry food and water, and handed them to Lei Heng.

Lei Heng took it and gobbled it up, ate a few pieces of dry food, drank a pot of water, and then wiped his mouth and continued: "You Liangshan have a great reputation now!" A few days ago, the regimental training wiped out all of Hwangan's soldiers and horses, and the Jeju Mansion shook up and down. The name of the leader of Yangsan is widely spread. There are two dog officials in the county office, one is called Zhao De and the other is Zhao Neng, who found out that Lei Ting is my own brother, so he went to the county office to report me. When Wen Bin was a Qing official, but he was also a loyal minister, he ordered someone to arrest me and ask me for the crime. I rebelled in a fit of rage and killed Zhao De. Fortunately, the leader of the team arrested my brother Zhu Tong, and he let me go out of righteousness, so I fled all the way here. ”

Chao Chong said: "No wonder I met the county officials and Zhu Tongdutou here. ”

Lei Heng said: "I owe Brother Zhu a favor, and this favor will be repaid!" ”

Chao Chong also said: "Zhu Tong is called a beautiful bearded man, and he does have the righteousness of Guan Yu, so I didn't hurt him just now, and let him lead the troops away." In this way, Nazhi County has no reason to blame him. ”

Lei Heng let out a long sigh and said, "That's good! ”

Chao Chong asked, "What are Brother Lei's plans in the future?" ”

Lei Hengdao: "What else can I plan, my mother is on Liangshan, my younger brother is also on Liangshan, and my good official body is also lost by you, except for Liangshan, where else can I go?" ”

Chao Chong arched his hand and said, "Extremely welcome." ”

Although Liu Tang was unhappy, he also came over to congratulate him and said, "Congratulations to Liangshan for getting another general." ”

Chao Sheng also came over to congratulate him, and Li Kui and Zhou Tong also surrounded him.

After that, Chao Chong asked Lei Heng to continue to distribute money to the villagers with them, and Lei Heng also said that King Chao was really benevolent and righteous.

Another day passed, and when all the three thousand were finished, they set off and returned to Liangshan.

The troops paid for by the other counties are also progressing well.

The power of the government is mainly concentrated in the cities, and what happens in the countryside is generally solved by the villages themselves, and if they can't be solved, they will go to the county seat to sue the officials.

This time, the people of Liangshan went down the mountain not to rob, but to distribute money, and the reaction of those villages was peaceful, and no one went to the government to report it.

The second capital of the infantry led by Wu Song was Jiaxiang County, and according to Chao Chong's instructions, they deliberately avoided the three powerful villages in Dulongling, and did not go close to the county seat, so the trip was also very smooth.

The strict formation, unified slogan, strict discipline, and the banner of "walking for heaven" left a deep impression on the people of Jiaxiang County.

However, Wu Song and Shen Tulie were not as peaceful as Chao Chong, and the soldiers knocked on the door from house to house, drove the people inside, and after gathering together, let them come forward in turn to receive the reward. Marquis Yu Cao is trying his best to restrain the soldiers and prevent them from causing trouble.

When they arrived at a village called Lijiapo, they began to act according to the usual practice, and the soldiers lined up and shouted "Liangshan acts, acts for the heavens, robs the rich and helps the poor, and seeks justice" to enter the village and break down the door and arrest people.

Teng Tie, the captain of the first team, looked at the familiar Li Jiapo in front of him, and said with a smile: "I'm back again!" ”

Seeing that the captain was so excited, the chief of his subordinates accosted him, "Captain, this is your hometown?" Didn't you come from Erlong Mountain in Qingzhou with the general? ”

Tengtie was twenty-three or four years old, with a handsome face and a well-proportioned figure, and recalled: "I think I fled to Qingzhou back then, and I had to be a thief in Erlong Mountain. ”

After speaking, Teng Tie led more than a dozen soldiers to the best house in the village, a blue brick house, surrounded by a one-zhang high wall, there is a stone lion on both sides of the vermilion gate, at a glance it is the house of wealth, and the plaque at the door hangs the word "Li Mansion". This is the house of Baozheng Li Yuanwai's family in the village.

Teng Tie waved his hand, and the soldiers stepped forward to smash the vermilion gate, kicked open the gate, and more than a dozen people rushed in.

Behind the door, the servants hurriedly scurried.

Teng Tiejing went to Li Yuanwai's house and pulled Li Yuanwai out from under the bed.

The obese Li Yuanwai was in his fifties, trembling with fright, and he didn't dare to look up.

Teng Tie slapped the dust off Li Yuanwai's brocade robe, and said kindly: "It's me, Yuanwai!" Don't panic. ”

The Li Yuanwai closed his eyes and trembled: "The king spares his life, the little one didn't see your face, and he didn't know who you were." ”

Teng Tie said gently: "Outside, you really don't know me?" ”

Li Yuanwai said: "The old man is dizzy, he can't see clearly, if he has something he likes, the king can take it." The king can rest assured that the old man will never report to the official. ”

Teng Tie smiled: "I'm Wang Xiaosan, I owe you money that Wang Xiaosan!" ”

Li Yuanwai secretly opened his eyes and glanced at it and said: "Aren't you a kid of the Teng family, how did you become Wang Xiaosan......" The fat member who felt speechless hurriedly shut up.

Teng Tie said with a sneer on his face: "Li Yuanwai, you finally recognize me!" ”

Li Yuanwai hurriedly said: "I don't know you, I don't know you!" ”

Teng Tie grabbed the fat Li Yuanwai from the ground, stared at him viciously and said, "No, you know!" ”

Li Yuanwai shook his fat pig-like head and said, "I don't ...... Grandpa spares his life! ”

Teng Tie slapped his palm, Li Yuanwai's words stopped abruptly, Teng Tie slapped his hand over again, and scolded: "Old pig and dog!" You're finally remembering me! I can't imagine that I will come back one day! The evil you have done will be recompensed one day! ”

Teng Tie raised his hand to fight again, but the soldiers around him hurriedly stopped him and said, "Captain, don't be impulsive. The general had a strict order at that time......"

When Teng Tie heard the military order, his emotions that were almost violent slowly fell, and he stared at Li Yuanwai viciously, and ordered: "Search the entire Li Mansion to see if there is any dirt and dirt hidden in it!" ”

The soldiers did as they were told, and soon one by one they came out full of righteous indignation, leading out a dozen children of eight or nine years old, all of whom were flesh and blood, their bodies dirty, and emitting a foul smell. Shi Changyu reported: "Captain, this is a child rescued from the pigsty and the cowpen. ”

Teng Tie said to Li Yuanwai: "Do you, an old pig and dog, still like to lend usury, and then let the family ruin and pay off their children?" There are boys who work as swineherds and cowherds. There must still be girls in the cellar! Say, Where is your cellar? ”

Li Yuanwai's fat pig-like body trembled, and he quibbled: "The little one has long since stopped doing that kind of loan, and there is no cellar." ”

Teng Tie's anger rose again, kicked Li Yuanwai to the ground, pulled out his waist knife and said: "You are a cheap bone, if you don't see blood, you won't be honest!" ”

As soon as Teng Tie pulled out his knife, Wu Song brought someone over and said, "Stop!" Teng Tie, what are you going to do? Have you forgotten your military orders? ”

When Teng Tie saw Wu Song, the leader who had the grace of knowing him, he hurriedly put his waist knife back into the sheath, but a feeling of grievance came to his heart, knelt down in front of Wu Song on one knee, and told Wu Song about the grievances between himself and Li Yuanwai.

It turned out that ten years ago, Teng Tie was twelve years old, and a farmer in the village next to Li Jiapo borrowed five yuan from Li Yuanwai's family because of serious taxes, but it quadrupled in a year and became twenty yuan.

His parents were injured by Li Jiazhuang and died soon after. As an orphan, Teng Tie became a swineherd in Li Yuanwai's house, going to beat grass and herding pigs every day, and was beaten from time to time. There were six or seven other children in the same situation as him. Later, he learned that this Li Yuanwai specialized in the loan shark business, and when he saw which child was smart, he lent them money, and once he couldn't pay it back, he used the child to pay off the debt. The men were used as swineherds and cowherds, and the girls were sold to brothels after all kinds of horns, so as to make a lot of money.

I don't know how many people have been ruined by this Li Yuanwai.

When Tengtie was fifteen years old, he couldn't stand the abuse anymore and fled at night. remembered the hatred of his parents who were forced to die, so he cried loudly.

After hearing this, Wu Song's anger surged, and Cao Zheng hurriedly came over to persuade him, saying: "If there is evidence for the conviction, you might as well find the cellar first." ”

Wu Song said angrily: "Teng Tie's words are proof!" I'm sure he's not lying! ”

Shen Tulie said: "What crazy words are you talking about, you are not helping him, you are harming him." When the soldiers enter the house, they have to dig three feet into the ground and look for it again! ”

More than 100 soldiers entered the Li Mansion to search, Li Yuanwai was so frightened that his face turned blue, Shen Tulie snorted coldly, went over to choke his neck, and threw him to Teng Tiedao: "Take him to look for it, you can't find the cellar, you come and be punished yourself." ”

Teng Tie hurriedly thanked him, and pressed Li Yuanwai to look for him in the house.

But a stick of incense, there is a result. The cellar was opened, and seven or eight little girls were rescued, as well as the bodies of four girls who had been tortured to death.

All the sergeants were furious, looking at Li Yuanwai, a scumbag, and wanted to chop him into pulp.

Wu Song forced Li Yuanwai to say: "Old pig and dog, what else do you have to say?" ”

Li Yuanwai was already paralyzed on the ground in fright, urinating, and yellow water flowed all over the ground.

Teng Tie came out of the queue with red eyes, knelt down on one knee and hugged his fists and said, "Dutou, please let me kill this scum!" Avenge your parents! ”

Wu Song's personality was jealous and hateful, and he looked at the surrounding soldiers and said, "What do you say?" ”

The soldiers said, "Kill him!" "Kill him!"

The rescued children also looked at Li Yuanwai with hatred.

Wu Song wanted to nod, but Cao Zheng stopped: "All the heads are angry, do you remember the general's military order before going down the mountain?" You must not harm the people at will, and you must not plunder the people's property, otherwise you will be decided. Think twice! ”

Wu Song said angrily: "That's because the general didn't see the scene in front of him!" It's not too much for such a scumbag to kill him a hundred times! How not to kill! ”

Cao Zheng hurriedly said: "You must know that the military order is like a mountain. It's better to take it back to the mountain and put it at the disposal of the general! ”

Before Cao Zheng finished speaking, Teng Tie over there swooped out, and with lightning speed, he cut off the head of Li Yuanwai on the ground with a knife, and Wu Song, who knelt down with tears in his face, stepped forward and said, "Leaders, don't argue. I Tengtie does things alone, I don't avenge my parents, I swear not to be a person! I am willing to accept the guilt of breaking the military order! ”

Wu Song and Cao Zheng glanced at each other, sighed, helped Teng Tie up, patted his chest and said, "I am your boss, and I will take responsibility for something." This old pig and dog really deserve to die, I'll help you carry it! ”

Teng Tie was moved to cry.

Wu Song looked at Shen Tu Lie and said, "Shen Tu, you are in charge of military discipline, what do you say?" ”

Shen Tu Lie's face was expressionless, and he said, "I will report to the general according to the truth." If you are punished, count me in! ”

Cao Zheng sighed and said, "If I am punished, how will I be afraid?" There's a better way to deal with it! You just don't listen! ”

If the news of Liangshan's military horses arriving in the village, robbing the people's property and killing them spread, then Liangshan's previous efforts to distribute money would be completely destroyed.

In order to salvage his reputation, Cao Zheng suggested that Li Yuanwai's house be raided, but no more killings. After gathering the villagers, they announced in public the various evil deeds of Li Yuanwai's family. All the seized property was distributed to the villagers, and the usury contract and the contract of sale were also burned in front of the villagers.

This has somewhat saved a bit of reputation.

A few days later, return to Yangsan. Shen Tulie's report was handed over to Chao Chong, who was furious and ordered him to strictly enforce military discipline, but there was still a problem.

After some thought, Chao Chong convened a meeting of the whole army, and the soldiers and horses of the six capitals and the navy army of the first capital gathered in the school field.

Chao Chong first summarized the work of going down the mountain to distribute money in the past few days, and praised everyone's efforts in the past few days.

After that, he changed his head and said: "But there are still people who know the law and break the law, and I have repeatedly ordered the military order, but I just ignore it and make a murderous move!" Put Teng Tie, Wu Song, Shen Tulie, and Cao Zheng on the stage! ”

After the four of them came to power, Chao Chong said to the soldiers in the audience: "The military order is like a mountain, which means that once the military order is issued, it should be as firm as a mountain." Our soldiers come from several surrounding states and counties. Most of them come from poor backgrounds, and everyone may have had the experience of being bullied when they were young. Everyone has a reason why they have to go up the hill and fall into the grass. I understand and sympathize. But this is no excuse for not obeying military orders. The four people on this stage violated the military order. The penalty is certain. But before that, I give them a chance to speak. Teng Tie came out of the ranks and told you about your childhood experience. ”

Name: Teng Tie (Captain)

Health: 1100/1100

Commander-in-Chief: 32

Force: 41

Intelligence: 54

Politics: 13

Glamour: 22

Loyalty: Reverence

Trait: Opportunity (Flexible, good at seizing opportunities.) )

Teng Tie came out of the ranks, first telling about the happiness of his childhood, and then Li Yuanwai's family changed dramatically, and he was in tears during his painful years in the pigsty, and the soldiers in the audience who had similar experiences also had ruddy eyes.

Finally, Teng Tie said: "So, when I see the fat pig-like Li Yuanwai again, I ......"

"Shut up!" Chao Chong interrupted him and said, "I only asked you to talk about your childhood experience, but I didn't let you say the reason for killing. No matter how good the reason for killing is, under the premise of violating the military order, it is also wrong! You can agree! ”

Teng Tie arched his hand and said: "The subordinates confess their guilt and are willing to receive all the punishments, but these have nothing to do with the head of the martial capital, they are all the fault of the next person!" ”

Chao Chong said: "Just confess!" Remember that you have extenuating circumstances and a good attitude towards confessing your sins. Cancel all your military exploits and captain's positions, demote you to an ordinary soldier, and give you thirty sticks, as you wish! ”

Teng Tie saw Chao Chong's murderous spirit, he originally thought that he would die, but he didn't want to just eliminate his military exploits and positions, and he was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "My subordinates are willing!" ”

Chao Chong rushed to Wu Song, Shen Tulie, and Cao Zheng and continued: "The three of you are not strictly supervised, and you are jointly and severally responsible, and all military merits will also be eliminated. Temporarily stay on duty to see the after-effects. and fined each of them ten poles. Would you like to? ”

Wu Song, Shen Tulie, and Cao Zheng also hurriedly said: "The subordinates are willing!" ”

Chao Chong said to the audience: "Most of the soldiers are from poor backgrounds, and there are naturally many grievances in their hearts. One joy, listened to by fifty people, became fifty joys. A pain, shared by fifty people, becomes insignificant. All of them are urged to carry out! ”

The Marquis of Yu came out and said, "Take the order!" ”

Chao Chong said again: "In the future, when we go down the mountain, we will encounter a lot of scumbags like Li Yuanwai, and the soldiers are used to fight, not to judge cases." You have the power to investigate and arrest people. But there is no right to kill people and raid homes. The Ministry of Civil Affairs has begun to set up a criminal name department, with Wu Yongjun as the director, and has set up a law enforcement team with wings and thunder in the team. Specialized in dealing with such civil cases. In the future, everyone should pay attention to proportion, and do not cross the line again! ”

The generals commanded.

After the decision was made, Chao Chong began to supervise the execution.

Teng Tie was removed from the two back flags behind him, and the star lit up by the military badge on his chest would also turn white. The two soldiers put Tengtie down on the stool and lay down, and beat thirty military sticks in front of everyone. The soldiers in the audience were solemn, and Teng Tie was happy and guilty.

Glad that he was not sentenced heavily, he felt guilty for affecting the three leaders.

Teng Tie was carried down for treatment after the execution.

Wu Song, Shen Tulie, and Cao Zheng were also stripped of their military badges that lit up the stars, turned white again, and then returned to them. The three of them stepped forward in turn and fell down on the stool. The soldier just raised his stick to beat. Chao Chong raised his hand to stop it, rolled up his sleeves, personally picked up the military stick, walked up to Wu Song and said, "Except for me, no one is qualified to beat you." You ready? ”

Wu Song, Shen Tulie, and Cao Zheng said guiltily: "The lord ......"

Chao Chong sighed and said: "A few of you are not worry-free, don't hurt, and don't have a long memory!" Jiro comes first! ”

After saying that, he hit ten sticks on Wu Song's back, and the skin was open, Wu Song gritted his teeth and didn't gnaw, but he was secretly proud in his heart: I am still so important in the heart of the lord!

After that, Shen Tulie, Chao Chong was also ruthless, ten sticks down, the sound was crisp and loud, and the soldiers in the audience saw that these generals' henchmen and favorite generals were beaten for disobeying military orders, and their hearts were solemn.

Finally, Cao Zheng, Chao Chong's hand was much lighter, and it seemed to be raised high, but in fact, it was not heavy. Cao Zheng was grateful.

After the congress, discipline in the military became more stringent. This is not mentioned for now.

Liangsanbo wiped out Jeju soldiers and horses twice, and later went to the surrounding six counties to distribute money, and for a time Liangshanbo's fame resounded all over Shandong and Shandong.

Chao Gai remembered that Bai Sheng, the day rat, was still in Jeju Prison, so he asked people to try to save him. Bai Sheng originally thought that he would die in prison if he betrayed Chao Gai and others, but who knew that Chao Gai came to save his whole family regardless of his previous suspicions. Chao Gai Renyi arranged a small position for him in the Ministry of Commerce. Bai Sheng was grateful.

Shi Qian, under the instruction of Chao Chong, went to the rivers and lakes to find some talents.

Tang Long, a blacksmith who was striking iron in Wugang Town, Yanggu County, came to invest and was arranged to be the director of the Ordnance Department of the Ministry of Work and Service.

Xiao Rang, a scholar of the Holy Hand, was taken up the mountain by Shi Qian and arranged for him to enter the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as the director of the Department of Etiquette.

Jin Dajian, a jade arm craftsman, was taken up the mountain by Shi Qian and arranged to join the Ministry of Industry and Logistics as the director of the Agricultural Tools Department.

The divine doctor An Daoquan was taken up the mountain and arranged for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to be the director of the medical department.

Zhu Gui brought his younger brother Zhu Fu and became the director of the Department of Commerce and Taxation.

There are also people from the rivers and lakes, who have no face, Bao Xu, the god of mourning, and Yu Bao, the god of danger.

has no face, Jiao Ting, fists and feet, and arranges to be the head of the fourth capital.

Bao Xu, the god of mourning, and Yu Baosi, the god of danger, are typical thorns and reckless men, so they are included in the escort team. Zhou Tong saw that there were two more newcomers, and happily handed over the banner to the one-foot tall giant Yu Baosi.
