Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Human Heart Is Like a Scale
Hearing the two of them talking, Gao Yue replied in a low voice, "I have heard it." I will not blame you for your bold actions. ”
Feng Liang didn't know when, he had already walked over, stood beside Gao Yue, and looked at the two of them in a daze. The two of them bowed their heads to Feng Liang slightly, and their movements were almost unknown, indicating that they knew the severity, and Feng Liang lowered his eyes.
The two looked at each other again. The military stick was raised, and the mouth shouted, "Alert Erzhi!" ”
"Smack!" The military stick roared down with the sound of the wind, and with a loud noise, everyone in the audience only felt a tremor in their hearts, as if they could feel the heartache just by looking at it with their eyes.
"Keep it in mind!" "Smack!"
The military stick was beaten again, and the castration was hideous. Wu Tuzhen craned his neck in the crowd to see this, but nodded unconsciously.
He has been in the army for many years, and he is also an expert in these routines, and when he saw these two blows, it seemed that the momentum was amazing, as if a stick could kill a person, but it was actually a "heavy on the outside and light on the inside" technique, which would not hurt the muscles and bones.
The two soldiers were already with their eyes open, and the big stick in their hands seemed to be with all the strength of their bodies, and they hit it down: "Don't do it again!" ”
"Smack!"
Forty rods have been beaten. The two of them hurriedly abandoned the big stick, and immediately leaned down, one left and one right, respectfully, and set Gao Yue up.
"Big brother! How are you? ”
Feng Liang stepped forward with an arrow step and looked at Gao Yue's face extremely nervously.
was held by the two, Gao Yue couldn't stand anymore. Rao is that he has been tempered for a long time, and he is a little unbearable at the moment. I only felt dizzy for a while, and the pain spread from the torture place to the whole body, and my heart was painful, but from the numbness, I clearly noticed bursts of sharp pain in my heart.
He shouted to himself in his heart: "What is such a small injury? Didn't you become despised and delicate after being away from your father-in-law for a long time? ”
With that in mind. He struggled to raise his head and smiled reluctantly, "Don't worry. He said to Shi Laohan again: "Uncle, if I make a mistake, I should be punished." Although it can't offset the guilt, it always shows my heart and sincerity to make amends, and in the future, I will support my uncle with my heart. ”
At this time, not only the women of the Shi family were gratefully crying, but Shi Laohan was also in tears, and he couldn't stop kowtowing and said: "Girl, Lord Qingtian has avenged you, and when you are angry, you can close your eyes and go with peace of mind, woo." ”
Among the onlookers, many women also let out sighing sobs. I don't know who shouted: "Kowtow to Lord Qingtian!" With such good officials here, we and the grass people dare to sleep peacefully! ”
Nearly 1,000 people present were shocked when they heard the words, and they all responded loudly with excitement, and knelt down one after another, kowtowing.
Ding Xuan was thinking to himself. He has been in charge of Longxi County for two years, and he has also stayed in this Xiangwu City for two years. But I have never felt such a heartfelt support and gratitude from the people.
His distracted gaze swept over those excited faces one by one, and he suddenly became a little envious. Gao Yue entered the city for less than two hours, and a bad thing that could have caused the anger of the people was not only resolved by him with one move, but also used good means to bring the hearts of the people into obedience.
If you don't accept it, you can't do it. Ding Sui felt a lot of emotion in his heart, and his face was lonely. He subconsciously went to see Wu Tuzhen, and he actually felt sympathy.
On this side, Gao Yue looked at Li Hu with his eyes. Li Hu hurriedly stepped forward, picked up Shi Laohan and his wife, relieved him, and persuaded everyone to get up first, then came to Gao Yue's side, bowed and stood solemnly.
Gao Yue said: "The original situation, and even the punishment of the general, etc., should be exposed, inform the whole city, and hang the heads of Gong Fu and others in the school yard to show the public." ”
"Once again, the whole army should be vigilant, regardless of the recruits and veterans, regardless of intimacy and estrangement, and those who dare to disturb the people and bully the people and violate military discipline will be killed. Of course, if there is a bad skin, take the opportunity to provoke and harass him, he should also be punished. At this very moment, the first thing is to quickly settle down and restore order, and you must not be negligent. ”
"Obey."
Li Hu replied respectfully. Gao Yue blamed himself heavily in the end, but he did not punish him, Li Hu felt both ashamed and mixed in his heart. Therefore, there was no trace of slackness and resentment on his face because Gong Fu was killed.
Gao Yue looked at him, nodded with satisfaction, and sighed in a low voice: "From my personal salary, half of it will be allocated and sent to Gong Fu and the others' homes." Generous pension. If you have time, run for me, and be sure to bring my heart to you. ”
"Kill because they have violated military law and committed crimes that are inferior to beasts. In order to correct our military style, we have to do it as a last resort. Is the sorrow in my heart like yours?
“…… Be. ”
Forcibly endured the severe pain and said something continuously, Gao Yue only felt sweaty and weak.
Cao Mo saw that his messy hair was sticking to his forehead and face, and the sweat was already soaking through the placket. He was a little anxious, so he said loudly: "Everyone, everyone! The general is high-spirited and bright, upright and benevolent. is not only a good official who loves the people like a son, but also an upright man. Would we rather have respect and admiration, and be loyal to follow the situation? ”
He was greeted with cheers. There are the people, and there are also soldiers.
"In this case, if the general is wounded, everyone will retreat. Each goes back to his own household, and each performs his own duties; Let the general stop worrying about such things and recuperate from his injuries in peace, okay? ”
So everyone should come down. Li Hu commanded and dispatched on the spot. A group of soldiers were orderly and returned to their posts, and the people also talked to themselves and slowly dispersed.
There were only fifty sturdy white-collar soldiers left, who stayed on the spot to guard and guard, and more than a dozen county officials, who did not dare to leave on their own without being instructed, so they also stood still.
Gao Yue signaled left and right and helped him to Cao Mo, Cao Mo saw it at a glance and hurriedly greeted him.
Gao Yue walked with difficulty, his eyes clear and flowing. "Sir! Mr. fist's heart, generosity, and love, Gao received it and was grateful. ”
Cao Mo was determined to die, and the government office that entered scolded Gao Yue, and naturally regarded Gao Yue as a mutinous bandit who did not know how to produce and specialized in slaughtering and plundering.
Later, Gao Yue's words and deeds, every move, made him surprised, only to feel that this "bandit leader" was different, but still like a person with some ambitions and a clear conscience, but he could talk to him.
Later, when he saw Gao Yue's handling of the humiliation and death of the people's daughter, he was greatly shocked, and in a short period of time, his mind was completely turned over unconsciously.
He has been in the government for many years. From the history of the Shangshu to the assassination, down to the soldiers and officials, what kind of face has not been seen, and what kind of human nature has not been seen?
Gao Yue, who only talks about discipline, does not show favoritism, and can support the people who have no background, no acquaintance, and no interests, is really rare, and it is indeed very emotional, from top to bottom in the Great Jin Dynasty, such a person, I am afraid that it can be counted with one hand.
But when it comes to discipline, even he has to be punished, and it is a real punishment, there is no show of favoritism, forty sticks are beaten down, Gao Yue is already skin and flesh, flesh and blood are blurred, the original tall and mighty young man, at this time can no longer stand, this is obvious to everyone, without a trace of adulteration.
This is what really moved Cao Mo's heart. He boasted of holding himself upright, and he couldn't help but be touched by Gao Yue's actions of sticking his body, and he couldn't help but be touched and admired, magnificent!
What is wrong with working with such a person as Lord?
Cao Mo said pleadingly: "I will only see it today, what is called upright and awe-inspiring, what is called the style of a general, and what is called justice and selflessness. The general is upright, and he is both impressed and admired. If General Meng does not give up, from now on, he is willing to work for the general. ”
Gao Yue stretched out his hand, grabbed Cao Mo's rough hand, and said happily: "With Mr. Cao's great talent, why worry about the people's peace, Gao thanked Mr." ”
Cao Mo had always been looked down upon by Shangguan and his colleagues, but now that he was praised in public by Gao Yue, he couldn't help but feel a little cramped, and his dark face turned red.
He said slightly, "This." The general praised it like this, and he really deserved it, and he couldn't deserve it. I can't come up with a plan, I can't make a plan, and I can't fight. It's just that he understands some farming, and he doesn't have any roughness in his daily life, and he doesn't have any dignity for ......an official."
"The country is based on the people. The people are based on agriculture. Mr. is a real talent with a family and a country. The so-called old and old, as well as the old people; The young of me, and the young of man. Loving the people and caring for the people is where the true dignity of an official lies. What I say, how can I praise it? ”
Gao Yue shook his head and said in a loud voice.
A strong feeling came over my heart. Being able to be understood and respected by others, no matter how lowly and trivial things you do, are worth it.
When Cao Mo heard this, his unkempt gray beard trembled, he tried to straighten his back, which had been slightly bent due to years of labor, his eyes were shining, he kept brushing his beard, trying his best to calm himself down, not to lose his temper in public.
Seeing him like this, Gao Yue knew that Cao Mo must be greatly touched in his heart. He smiled and said gently: "Sir let it go, I dare to assert that Sir will definitely achieve something in the future." ”
Is it possible for ordinary people to be a high-ranking official with a lot of technical content? Gao Yue thought in his heart, and couldn't help but look at the old farmer-looking person in front of him again.
Gao Yue asked Ding Xuan and other county officials to go home for the time being and wait for the arrangement. Let Li Hu restrain his subordinates, return to the barracks in the city, and seriously organize the new soldiers and veterans.
While talking happily with Cao Mo and others, he was supported by others and slowly walked towards the mansion. When Gao Yue first came, he had no residence, so he first explained to himself and rested in the backyard of the government for the time being.
