Then there were three old men in a row, without exception, these three old men from other places were all made difficult, and even one was beaten even worse, and the soldiers couldn't help but remember that they had done the same thing when they were on duty before, although the five old men were not their fathers, but the fathers of their comrades, isn't this equivalent to their fathers? These old men were bullied and beaten, just like their own father was bullied and beaten.

When all the soldiers were notified to come to the door of the barracks to assemble, they all drooped their heads, they were extremely ashamed, they had no face to look at Zhao Ziliang and Zeng Aniu, Fan Dazhu and others who were standing on the stage, and Da Niu and Fan Dazhu and others also knelt beside their father lying on the platform at this time, and they all wailed and cried.

When they saw the three unconscious old men and the other two wounded old men lying on the stage, as well as Zeng Aniu, Fan Dazhu and others, they all understood, it turned out that the old men they had just bullied and beaten were actually the fathers of their comrades, and they knew that this was a big trouble, and they didn't even dare to look at the few old men lying on the stage, Zeng Aniu and others.

Seeing this situation, the two city gate captains, Tao Dakun and Wu Zhicheng, immediately felt a little bad, but at this time, they didn't know what Zhao Ziliang wanted to do, and they didn't know what the uneasiness in their hearts was.

Zhao Ziliang saw that the chief on duty just now and his soldiers were cowering in front of the stage and did not dare to come to the stage, so he said loudly: "You guys, what are you doing offstage?" Not up yet? ”

Everyone looked at them, and the chief and his soldiers walked to the stage in fear, lined up, and slowly turned to face their comrades below.

There were a total of 150 defenders in Jinguangmen, a total of two captains, each with 75 people. There were two gangs and a dozen miscellaneous men, and now everyone was here except for two who were on duty at the city gates.

Zhao Ziliang was dressed in dark and shiny armor, wearing a blood-red cloak, wearing a bronze helmet, walked to the side with his hands behind his back, turned to look at Shi Chang and his soldiers and said: "The homes of these soldiers are in the prefectures and counties near the capital, and General Ben just wants to invite their relatives to come to Chang'an to see what their son is doing here and how his life is doing. I also gave them a big gift! Yes, yes, that's great! If your parents also know that you are bullying the people here every day, taking money and getting cramps, I don't know what kind of mood they will have, will they feel ashamed and indignant, and then feel shameless and find a rope to hang themselves? ”

As he spoke, Zhao Ziliang walked up to the chief and asked, "What do you think, my elder?" ”

Shi Chang was about to cry. Kneeling on the ground with a thud, he picked up his left and right arms and kept slapping himself, crying and shouting: "The little one should be damned, the little one should be damned, the little one is not a person." It's not a person, am I a bastard, a bastard, the general will kill me, kill me, ・・・・・・".

Zhao Ziliang was surprised: "Let someone kill you?" Why did so-and-so kill you? You bullied and beat you, and you are not so-and-so's father. If so-and-so has no grievance with you, why would so-and-so want to kill you? If you really think you deserve to die, you should beg them. You just bullied their father."

When Shi Chang heard this, he used his hands and feet together, and crawled over on his knees and crawled over to Fan Dazhu and Zeng Aniu and others: "Several brothers, it's all my Cao's fault, I don't know what they said about the fathers of several brothers, no, no, even if they are not the fathers of several brothers, we can't do this, I should die, I should die, a few brothers kill me, I Cao someone died without resentment."

Fan Dazhu and Zeng Aniu and the others were already crying hoarse at this time, they heard Shi Chang say this, but they didn't do anything to Shi Chang, only to see Fan Dazhu slap himself a few times, and muttered: "What qualifications do we have to kill you?" How have we not done what you just did? We never thought that our own dad would be bullied like this, we are to blame! ”

Zeng Aniu cried to his comatose father: "Dad, it's all unfilial, I'm embarrassed to you, it's the mistake that I made first, so I let you suffer such a big humiliation, damn it, damn it!" ”

There was a lot of crying on the stage, and Zhao Ziliang waved his hand to Bai Xiaode: "Carry the old people to the barracks and lie down, and then go find a few Lang Zhong to treat a few fathers."

"No!" Bai Xiaode agreed, and immediately arranged for a few servants and soldiers to carry the five old men away, and the others stayed.

Zhao Ziliang turned around and waved his hand to Shi Chang and his soldiers, Zeng Aniu, Fan Dazhu and others: "You all go and return to the team!" ”

A few people got up and wiped their tears, and got off the stage and got into their own ranks.

Zhao Ziliang looked at more than 100 people in the audience and said: "Each of us has brothers and sisters of our fathers and mothers, if the people you bully are just ordinary people, if some of them have sons who are also in the army, you bully them, it is equivalent to bullying your own fathers and mothers, with a bad temper, I am afraid that they will come with knives to fight with you, if the son of someone who is bullied by you is a big official, if their son is bullied by you rotten people, what will they think, what will they do?" In the future, will you still collect money and bully the people? ”

The soldiers in the audience drooped their heads, whispering one by one that they didn't dare, their voices were not neat, and they were messy, Zhao Ziliang shouted loudly: "What? Why are you so upright when you bully people and collect money, and now you are cowardly? Know you're wrong? If you know you're wrong, why don't you dare to admit it out loud? Give me a loud voice, will you still collect money and bully the people in the future? ”

"Don't dare!"

Zhao Ziliang frowned and yelled: "Is he a group of grandsons, give Lao Tzu a louder, haven't you eaten?" ”

"Don't dare!"

"Didn't hear me!"

"Don't dare!"

Zhao Ziliang felt a little satisfied at this time, and said: "That's right, we are soldiers, what are soldiers?" Soldiers should straighten their waists at all times and speak loudly, the duty of soldiers is to protect the people, not to bully the people, your father and mother are also the people, and if you bully the people, you are bullying your own father and mother, don't you understand this truth? As a soldier, you must be worthy of your heart at all times! See for yourselves, now your spirits are completely different from before, before you were listless, all of you looked like ruffians, now you are all in good spirits, because you already know that you have done wrong in the past, and now you are determined to correct it! When Lao Tzu led the troops in Anxi, there were thousands of people, and there was not a ・・・・・・ like you who were as wasteful."

Before Zhao Ziliang could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a voice: "General・・・・・・."

Zhao Ziliang followed the voice, but it was Tao Dakun, and he said with an unkind face: "What, do you think so-and-so is wrong?" ”

Tao Dakun saw Zhao Ziliang's eyes, and felt a little timid, but Zhao Ziliang's eyes were too fierce and the murderous aura on his body was too heavy, so he didn't dare to look directly, he stammered: "General, general, if we don't collect money, how can the brothers live?" Everything in this Chang'an City is very expensive, just with our little military salary, it will be sent down at the end of the month, and it will be spent in a few days at the beginning of the month, and the rest of the days can only drink the northwest wind! ”

Zhao Ziliang took a few steps forward and stared at Tao Dakun when he heard this, which frightened Tao Dakun, since these days, Zhao Ziliang has not made any new officials to take office three times, nor has he lost any temper, let alone scolding anyone, he even once thought that Zhao Ziliang, a frontier general who has a great reputation in the capital these days, is just a deceptive and famous person who has been exaggerated for his great military exploits, but now he doesn't see it that way, this overwhelming murderous aura is coming to his face, making him almost scared to pee, which is absolutely impossible to fake.

I saw Zhao Ziliang said coldly: "As far as I know, the salary of each soldier is 500 wen per month, and the salary of the head of the soldier and you captains is much higher, the soldiers eat and drink in the barracks, no need to spend money, weapons, armor, clothes, shoes and socks are supplied by the imperial court, and there is no need to spend money, even if you want to go to the Goolan courtyard to find a girl to extinguish the fire, fifty wen is enough, you tell me, where else to spend money?" ”

Tao Dakun opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but he didn't dare, and he also came up with something to refute.

Zhao Ziliang continued: "Don't think that General Ben doesn't know, all the soldiers present have never received full salaries, where did these unpaid salaries go? Do you want General Ben to investigate carefully, greedy for ink, and deducting military salaries, do you know what the crime is? And how much of the extra money you collect from the people is given to the soldiers? How many of your captains and captains took it, tell me! With your military salary, if you don't eat and drink outside and go into the Qinglou to drink flower wine, you can't say that you are rich and expensive, and it is absolutely enough to support your family."

Tao Dakun was so frightened that he was sweating profusely, trembling all over, he didn't make any moves, but another captain Wu Zhicheng and several other gang commanders had already knelt on the ground in fright, Wu Zhicheng said in a trembling voice: "General, the subordinates know that they are wrong, the general is benevolent and righteous, and they have not investigated this matter, and their subordinates will no longer dare to be greedy for ink and deduct military salaries, nor will they dare to bully the people and collect money from the people!" ”

Zhao Ziliang pointed to Tao Dakun, Wu Zhicheng and a few others, and said angrily: "Look at yourself, just a captain has such a big belly, if there is an enemy who kills the capital, with your current fat pig-like body, can you go to the city wall to defend the city or can you go to the horse to fight?"
