Chapter 221: Kill according to the law

Clang!

There was a crisp crashing sound, and a feathered arrow flew in, hitting the black horizontal blade.

Wu Xian was taken aback, turned his head to look, and saw that at the entrance of the infantry battalion training ground, two horsemen were galloping, one white and one red, the person on horseback, one in white and bright armor, and the other in red like fire, at a glance it was Kong Sheng and Nie Chuchen.

A cadre of soldiers held their breath.

Tang Genshui secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Kong Sheng actually appeared, then, the next matter, let Kong Sheng personally deal with it, he believed that Kong Sheng would never open the net because of Wu Xian, ignoring the dignity of the military discipline law.

Wu Xie was a little uneasy. Kong Sheng's temper and character, he knows it very well, if Kong Sheng learns that Wu Xian not only resisted the military order and failed to do so, but also violated the prohibition of alcohol issued by him personally, the consequences would be unimaginable.

In fact, at this time, Wu Xian's face had become a little pale, and the last bit of alcohol had dissipated with the wind.

He hung his head weakly, and quietly inserted the steel knife he waved in his hand into the scabbard, and his arrogance was like a balloon pierced by a needle.

Kong Sheng's face was gloomy, and he shouted on the horseback and asked, "Tang Genshui, if you don't hurry up the training, what are you making noise in the barracks?" This is a barracks, not a bazaar, you are soldiers, not hooligans! ”

Tang Genshui clenched his fists on the horse and bowed: "Lord Overseer, the last general will train the army as planned, but...... But if someone disobeys the military order and disobeys the rules, he asks the Overseer to judge it himself! ”

Kong Sheng raised his eyebrows, and his cold gaze suddenly fell on Wu Xian's body.

Wu Xian's heart was beating and he didn't dare to look up.

Wu Xie knew that things were not good. If you don't admit your mistake quickly. I'm afraid Kong Sheng will definitely take Wuxian this time. However. Wu Xian was stupid on the spot, and he didn't know how to get off the horse and ask for guilt, which made Wu Xie helpless and anxious, so he had to dismount himself instead of Wu Xian to beg for mercy.

After listening to Wu Jie's explanation of the cause and effect, Kong Sheng's face became very ugly. If it is only a delay in the order, although there have been mistakes, it can be justified with a slight punishment, but in front of more than a thousand soldiers. Drunk, openly disobeying his own prohibition of alcohol, excessive.

Wu Xian knew that he could not escape the blame, and at this time he also reacted, turned over and dismounted, knelt on the ground with a puff, and said in a trembling voice: "The last general knows that he cannot escape the blame, and please punish the Overseer severely!"

Kong Sheng's eyes flashed a trace of helplessness and anger.

Emotionally speaking, Wuxian Wujie followed him all the way from Jiangnan to the war-torn Henan to share weal and woe. Seeing loyalty, he was unwilling to be ruthless to Wuxian.

But. Just because Wu Xian was his close person and confidant, Kong Sheng had to punish him severely to appease others and calm the morale of the army. Otherwise, this kind of thing will have a far-reaching negative impact, and it will be a big deal to lead to the instability of the military's morale.

What's more, many pairs of eyes are staring at him, especially Tang Genshui, who is watching him so judged. If Kong Sheng is partial, partial and conniving, it will be difficult to convince the public in the future.

Kong Sheng took a deep breath and said indifferently: "Wu Xian, raise your head and look at me!" ”

Wu Xian was a little frightened and looked up at Kong Sheng, seeing that Kong Sheng's face was sinking like water, his heart became more and more uneasy. But after all, Wu Xian still believes that he is Kong Sheng's henchman, and he has a trace of luck, thinking that Kong Sheng will only punish him slightly and show it to others.

From this point of view, Wu Xian's mentality is not mature, and he lacks the proper mind and bearing, which is also destined to make it difficult for him to become the commander of the front army under Kong Sheng, and can only be used as a senior general.

Wu Xie is far more sensible than Wu Xian, and has a city government.

Kong Sheng's voice was extremely low: "Wu Xian, you were originally a forbidden army of the imperial court, and you were sent by Lord Qincha to my side, and followed me all the way north from Jiangnan, fearless of hardships and put life and death aside, I trust and rely on you very much." ”

"However, personal feelings cannot replace military discipline and state law. The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, even if I break the military law, I will not escape the responsibility, let alone you. Kong Sheng took a deep breath again: "Xiayi is not my Kong Sheng's Xiayi, it is the Xiayi of the imperial court, and it is the common home of all the Xiayi soldiers and civilians. ”

Kong Sheng's cold words reached Wu Xian's ears, and also into the ears of many soldiers around him, Wu Xian's creepy body was covered in cold sweat, and he kowtowed again and again to confess, not daring to quibble.

Kong Sheng turned his head to look at Tang Genshui, and said indifferently: "Tang Genshui, Wu Xian violated the military discipline law, how should he be punished according to the law?" ”

Tang Genshui hesitated for a moment, bowed down, but was silent.

Wu Xian violated the prohibition of alcohol, gathered a crowd to drink, failed to point in the army, and confronted the main general in public, and so on, the crime is serious, in fact, it is serious to say that it has constituted a capital crime. But this word made it difficult for Tang Genshui to speak.

Kong Sheng's deep and contemplative eyes swept over Tang Genshui's body, and immediately became cold and gloomy, falling on Wu Xian: "Wu Xian, you have committed a lot of crimes, and you should be beheaded according to the law." ”

As soon as Kong Sheng said this, Wu Xian raised his head suddenly, his face turned pale, his shoulders trembled violently, and his eyes begging for mercy did not get a response from Kong Sheng, so he was a little sad and desperate and knelt on the ground, tears and regret.

But there is no regret medicine in the world. One wrong step, one wrong step, that's the truth.

Not all mistakes can be corrected by hard work.

When the soldiers in line heard this, they all gasped, but they didn't expect Kong Sheng to be so ruthless and show no mercy to the henchmen around him. And Kong Sheng actually wants this effect.

Wu Xie was taken aback, and knelt on one knee to the ground, and said sadly: "Please open the Overseer's net, spare Wu Xian's life, and ask the Overseer to be merciful!" ”

Tang Genshui hesitated for a moment, but still bowed down and pleaded immediately: "Lord Overseer, although Wu Xian has committed a serious crime, it is the time for our army to employ people, and it is not good for the morale of our army to kill the generals in battle, please think twice, Lord Overseer!" ”

"Do you think that if I killed Wu Xian according to the law, it was too severe?" Kong Sheng looked around at everyone, and his indifferent voice echoed again: "But in my opinion, such a punishment is not heavy at all. Before the prohibition was enacted, I repeatedly ordered that if anyone violated, there would be no forgiveness! Wu Xian, wait, have you taken my words as a deaf ear?"

A group of soldiers fell to their knees in awe, and then fell to their knees in unison, shouting in unison: "Please be merciful, Lord Overseer!" ”

Tang Genshui also turned over and dismounted, and bowed down on one knee: "Lord Overseer, it is difficult to escape his crimes, but the last general also has the responsibility of lax control, please punish the Overseers together." ”

Wu Xie's face was gloomy, knowing that Kong Sheng had a hard temperament, and no one could persuade him to return at all. Since he wants to make an example of a hundred and take Wuxian to open the knife, this shows that he has made up his mind.

Wu Xie couldn't bear it, and let out a sigh of indignation.

Wu Xian knew that he could not escape death, and after a moment of emotional instability, he gradually calmed down, after all, he was born in the army, not a person who was greedy for life and afraid of death.

He simply let go and took the initiative to ask for death: "The last general is deeply sinful, and he knows that he will not escape death, please order the execution of the overseer, the last general will never dare to resist." It's just that after the death of the last general, I ask the Overseer to be kind to my brother, then, even if Wu Xian dies, he should smile under the Nine Springs. ”

Wu Xian's face was filled with a certain resolute look, and two lines of tears burst out of his eyes, and his excitement was indescribable.

"Big brother! Why bother in the first place if you knew today?! My brother has repeatedly advised you not to defy the law, but you always don't listen...... Big brother......" Wu Xie let out a high-pitched cry sadly, turned his head, touched a handful of heroic tears of life and death, and wept endlessly.

"Don't cry! Second brother, his head has a big scar, it's nothing! I don't blame anyone! Wu Xian shouted loudly: "Listen, I, Wu Xian, violated the military discipline law, and I deserve it, you must take me as a warning, don't defy the law!" ”

Kong Sheng smiled coldly: "In this case, come here, take down Wuxian, kill him on the spot, and the official will personally supervise the beheading!" ”

Tang Genshui had been secretly observing the changes in Kong Sheng's expression. At first, he thought that Kong Sheng was pretending to be a gesture for himself and the soldiers present, but later, he found that Kong Sheng was actually going to move seriously.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh lightly, knowing that at this point, it would be difficult for anyone to stop Kong Sheng from taking Wu Xian's knife. Tang Genshui originally thought that the punishment of Wu Xian's staff for dozens could be regarded as a correct view, but he didn't think that Kong Sheng's maintenance of the law was far greater than his.

Nie Chuchen watched coldly from the side of the horse from beginning to end, taking in all this. She was also a little surprised, she didn't expect Kong Sheng to really attack Wu Xian, although Wu Xian has a lot of small problems, but fundamentally speaking, he is loyal to Kong Sheng, no matter when, whether it is an official or a commander of the army, Kong Sheng needs to have a few such henchmen around him.

But Nie Chuchen never interfered or participated in Kong Sheng's military affairs. Even if she had the heart to intercede for Wu Xian, she couldn't interject.

Kong Sheng was dark and gloomy, sitting upright on his horse.

Several sturdy soldiers were actually executioners in the army, rushing over like wolves, grabbing Wu Xian and dragging him to the open field on one side, and then one of them grabbed Wu Xian's hair, and the other raised the cold and shining butcher knife.

More than a thousand soldiers held their breath and stared, their expressions awe-inspiring, and their eyes were full of awe when they looked at Kong Sheng.

Meng Zan and the others in the ranks of the soldiers were shocked and frightened. Meng Zan would never have imagined that Kong Sheng would use the death penalty on Wu Xian. He has been worried that Wu Xian will sell him, once he lets Kong Sheng know that he is instigating behind his back and tricking Wu Xian into drinking, then what awaits him will definitely be a dead end.

Kong Sheng even said that he would kill his henchman Wu Xian, not to mention that he was an outsider from a grass background.

Fortunately, Wu Xian had a stupid righteousness, and he actually took all the blame on himself, which made Meng Zan secretly relieved.

"What a stupid ×, damn rammer." A sly smile appeared on the corner of Meng Zan's mouth, and it disappeared in a flash. (To be continued.) )
