After saying this, the audience suddenly fell silent.

The soldiers looked at each other with inquiring eyes, but for a moment no one stood up very abruptly to echo, and after a while, a sentry officer stood up, and it turned out to be the top boss of the soldier who had just spoken.

The sentry took a few steps forward and stood beside the soldier, and said with great sincerity:

"Master Hou, I am willing to vouch!"

"Anyone else?"

Wang Zheng was indifferent, obviously, the words of just a sentry officer and an ordinary soldier were not enough to support this unsubstantiated observation.

After all, Pi Cheng is also a newly appointed Hezhou battalion garrison, if he is indiscriminate, he will be dealt with with with only a few people, and he will not face some suspicion of self-righteousness.

"Master Hou, I am willing to vouch!"

"I do, too!"

"And me!"

Suddenly, as if the soldiers had been discussed, more than two hundred people came forward one after another, and at a glance, almost all the sentries and junior officers of the first soldier stood up.

This is not the main thing, the Zhenwei battalion and the Mingwei Chinese army also had a sparse number of soldiers who stood up and said that they had also seen Pi Cheng enter the alley that day, and the people's family lived there.

Of course, there are also people who don't know about it, but they are willing to take risks for the sake of the friendship between the two, Wang Zheng nodded and said that he knew, and immediately looked pensive.

Even the common people could see that most of the people who had worked with this soldier, whether officers or ordinary soldiers, trusted him very much, and it didn't look like they were telling lies.

More than 200 soldiers knelt on the ground neatly, and Wang Zheng walked down past them, and looked at each of them, and could see a very firm color in their eyes.

After turning around, Wang Zheng returned to the stage and said lightly:

"Leather Guard, what do you explain about that?"

Pi Cheng was shocked, took a few steps back, habitually pressed his hand to his side, this move was seen by Deng Heizi, when even an arrow stepped forward, unloading the steel knife on Pi Cheng's waist to the ground.

"Misunderstanding, Hou Ye, it's all a misunderstanding, I don't have the intention of harming Hou Ye..."

"Hou Ye must not accept the villain's tricks, if he kills Zhongliang by mistake because of this, who else will defect to Hou Ye in the future?"

There was some threat when he said this, but he had a ghost in his heart, and he was timid and didn't dare to look at each other, so he covered it up by kowtowing.

Without waiting for Wang Zheng to say anything, the middle-aged man who was kneeling on the ground stood up and looked around Pi Cheng, and suddenly pointed at him and said:

"It's him, it's him!"

"Master Hou, it's this miscellaneous piece, I can recognize it when it turns into ashes, I don't believe it, you go and ask Zhou Laohan about them, they are all villagers who live nearby, and they have all seen it!"

In an instant, the truth was revealed.

After Wang Zheng heard the threat in Pi Cheng's words, he laughed angrily, walked to the front, squatted down and patted his head with his hand, and said:

"According to what you mean, if this candidate is dealt with impartially, then no one will defect to our Shandong army in the future?"

"Master Hou spares his life, that's not what the little one means..."

Pi Cheng trembled, he couldn't figure it out, he just went to the city to have fun, this kind of thing was really common in the past, and it was over casually.

It's just that now Wang Zheng is angry, and fools understand that arguing can only make him die faster, so he buried his head lower, and said with a smile:

"Master Hou atoned for his sins, the little one must fulfill his duties from now on, and never violate military rules and regulations again, please forgive the little one this time, and let the little one make up for his mistakes!"

Between the words, Pi Cheng was already acquiescing.

After hearing this, Wang Zheng clapped his hands and stood up, no longer worried, and said with a smile:

"Violating military regulations, and then allowing you to make up for your mistakes?"

Pi Cheng didn't know that this was the opposite, and when he was nervous, he saw Wang Zheng laughing heartily, and thought that he would not kill himself again, so he said with a smile on his face:

"Xiao still has some connections in Hezhou, if Lord Hou can spare Xiao Yi's life this time, he will not have anything to say about those military households and businessmen."

Wang Zheng suddenly changed color and said loudly:

"Come on, tie up this guy, sunspot, you will automatically use the knife!"

"The last general obeys!" Deng Heizi immediately clenched his fists and received the order, holding a big knife and pressing step by step, quite a bit sharpening his knife to the pig and sheep.

The smile on Pi Cheng's face suddenly froze, and he asked in a daze:

"Why did Master Hou say this?"

The soldiers didn't care about that much, they only recognized Wang Zheng's military order, and immediately stepped forward at the signal of Deng Heizi and pressed Pi Cheng on the platform.

Deng Heizi laughed, took a big bowl from the side, took the wine in his mouth and sprayed it on the steel knife, and swung it down according to Pi Cheng's neck, blood gushing out.

"Ahh

The miserable howl stopped abruptly, and the steel knife smoothly cut Pi Cheng's head down, rolling directly down to the woman's corpse, and his frightened eyes seemed to be full of regret.

Maybe because this is Pi Cheng's saber, or it may be stained with a lot of blood, Deng Heizi threw the knife on the ground in disgust, hammered his left chest on his chest, and said solemnly:

"Master Qiqi, the garrison of the state camp Pi Cheng, raped ** people to cause his death, violated the military regulations of our army, and the last general has already killed him!"

This time, Wang Zheng ignored the dissuasion of everyone, and resolutely decided to come to Hefei City, which was on the verge of turmoil, first quelled the rumors, followed by a thorough investigation of the army, and killed the Hezhou battalion garrison that violated military regulations on the spot, and the three armies were solemn.

After that, Wang Zheng decided to implement a different foreign recruitment method in Hefei, because the local people were brave and abnormal, so he personally sat in the town to determine the candidates for the Luzhou battalion garrison.

The people in the township were very enthusiastic, and jointly elected three people with different identities and statuses.

These three people, one is a pig slaughterer, one is a disciple of the gate, and the other is a firewood farmer, but they are all very brave, and they are comparable in the examination.

Luzhou Mansion established the Hefei Battalion, which belongs to the external department of the Shandong Army, and is the only foreign army in the Shandong Army that does not use the name of the prefecture as the name, but uses the name of the local state city.

Not surprisingly, in order to appease the local generals and military households, the sons of the generals were appointed as the new garrison officers, and the Shandong Military Council Department and the Security Department re-established a branch office in the city to recruit officials and salt in the territory of Luzhou Prefecture.

In addition, the Shandong Army sent a guerrilla general to lead 2,000 regular soldiers to stay in Hefei City, presiding over the recruitment of Hefei battalions and serving as an assistant defense garrison.

Except for the general's son, although the other two were from humble backgrounds, their performance was very eye-catching, and it did not affect Wang Zheng's judgment, and they were all appointed as deputy generals to assist in guarding the Luzhou Mansion, and they were grateful at the moment.

However, Wang Zheng also kept an eye on it, and all three of them had a four-month probationary period.

If the expected requirements cannot be met within the time limit, or if there is any news of violation of military regulations, the Shandong military will cancel the establishment of the Hefei battalion at any time and replace it with the Luzhou battalion, and send people from within to reappoint them as garrison and deputy generals.

Since then, there has been no rebellion against the Shandong Army in Hefei, and although the local people are mourning, they are very cooperative with the registration of the Shandong Army.

In about half a month, two farming farms were established in the territory of Luzhou Prefecture, and almost every household in the rest was allocated fields and ploughs, and life began to get on track.

It turned out that most of the people in Hefei City, except for those who went to the farm, were scattered to live in the rest of the Luzhou Prefecture for legitimate reasons.

As a result, Hefei City as a government seems to be a little deserted, Hefei Military Department Office received a document transfer order from Nanjing, ordered the rest of the counties to transfer a part of the residents to Hefei to live.

This is also the idea put forward by Li Yan and Gu Junen and other staff officers after discussion, although it is a pity to disintegrate such a martial arts military town, but it can avoid possible threats in the future.

In fact, Wang Zheng was not sure whether there would be any more turmoil in Hefei in the future, and the proposal put forward by Li Yan and Gu Junen, the general staff of the Left Army, was obviously the most effective method.

At present, the Shandong army cannot focus too much energy on Hefei and Hefei, and it does not need any military towns, as long as it is stable enough.

After about four months, the whole Hefei has a new look, the original residents have been scattered to various places to start anew, and the remaining residents are nothing more than lonely old people who do not want to leave, and there will be no threat at all.

And after Wang Zheng returned, the spy department immediately operated with all its might, and thousands of secret agents and spies disguised themselves as various identities and went deep into various parts of the Yangtze River, adding fuel to the fire and spreading the matter everywhere, and soon spread all over the country.

Wang Zheng's trip can be said to be a multi-pronged victory, which not only cleaned up military discipline, but also made the Shandong thief army vigorously propagated by the scholars self-defeating, and the people all over the south of the Yangtze River were talking about it.
