Chapter 1077: Military Law is Greater than Heaven
Situ Liangyu raised his hand and waved, then wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, looked at Chu Huan, and asked, "The people in the barracks are molesting the people's girls and harming people's lives, do you care?" ”
When Chu Huan heard this, he frowned, thinking that Pei Ji governed the army very strictly, since the first day of the army, many military laws have been formulated, and every soldier must be familiar with military law, and when he said that someone under Pei Ji's command molested the people and harmed people's lives, Chu Huan really didn't believe it, but when he saw Situ Liangyu's grim expression and calm words, he couldn't help but not believe it.
At this time, a young student in his early twenties came up from behind, about the same age as Chu Huan, holding a wooden stick in his hand, glaring angrily at Chu Huan, and said sharply: "It's all you faint officials, you return my wife's life ......!" The stick was about to rush up, but was grabbed by Situ Liangyu, and said in a deep voice: "There is a wrong, there is a debtor, don't be anxious." ”
The sound of horses' hooves, Qi Hong and others had already followed, turned over and dismounted, Qi Hong saw a group of people gathered in front of the camp gate, frowned, pressed the handle of the knife with his hand, stepped forward, and said respectfully: "My lord! ”
When Situ Liangyu heard this, he snorted coldly and said, "Sure enough, he is an official." ”
"Bold, this is the Governor, dare to speak out." Qi Hong immediately shouted.
Chu Huan waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Pei is not here, who is in charge of the military camp now?" ”
"Back to my lord, when Mr. Pei left, he had already made proper arrangements, the fourth battalion of the wind forest volcano, the second battalion of the wind forest is training knife skills in the camp today, and the second battalion of the volcano is out of the camp to exercise the weight-bearing march." Yang Laoba immediately replied: "The second volcano battalion set off early in the morning, and not long ago, it has returned to the battalion. ”
Chu Huan nodded, didn't ask any more questions, strode to the camp gate, and saw that the soldiers were still moving forward with guns, Qi Hong said sharply: "The governor is here, don't open the camp gate yet!" ”
Many of the soldiers inside were made up by the Guards, and they knew Chu Huan, and two of them had already stepped forward and opened the camp gate, Chu Huan glanced at the soldiers, and said in a deep voice: "Don't you accept the guns yet?" ”
The soldiers knew that this was the governor in front of them, how could they dare to disobey, and immediately put away their guns, Chu Huan turned around and asked Situ Liangyu who was not far away: "Do you know the murderer?" ”
"Nature's Knowledge."
"Okay, the barracks are heavy, if you all come in, it's always inconvenient, Situ Liangyu, you and the victim's family come in, do you dare?"
Situ Liangyu smiled coldly, without saying a word, entered the camp gate, and said, "Since you dare to come, you are not afraid of death." ”
Chu Huan smiled faintly and ordered, "Go and find the commander of the second volcano battalion." ”
The soldiers immediately went to deliver the governor's order, and only a moment later, several generals in armor came quickly, and the commanders of these four battalions were talented men selected by Pei Ji from the guards and samurai, and during the training period, these four men each temporarily led a battalion.
The four commanders all paid homage, and Chu Huan had already said coldly: "Where are the commanders of the Fire Word Battalion and the Mountain Word Battalion?" ”
The two generals got up and took two steps forward, Chu Huan asked, "There are people outside the camp shouting grievances, can you hear them?" ”
"The lowly has heard it." The two said in unison.
"Then why ignore it?"
"When we learned of this, we immediately gathered the soldiers of the battalion and asked who was bold, but no one came forward." The commander of the Shanzi battalion replied: "The two of them are investigating, these people are blocked in front of the camp gate, we don't want to argue with them, everything is to wait for Master Pei to come back and deal with it." ”
Chu Huan bowed slightly, the method of the two commanders was not wrong, and ordered: "You two will gather all the soldiers of the battalion, since they dare not admit it themselves, this governor will let people recognize it." Xiang Situ Liangyu said: "Since you know the murderer, now follow the governor to recognize the person, as long as your grievances are true, the governor will naturally give you an explanation." ”
On the school field of the Praetorian Guard barracks, the soldiers of the second battalion of the volcano were lined up, Chu Huan saw that the soldiers were in good array, their bodies were straight, although they were in a bad mood, they also secretly approved, and secretly thought that Pei Ji would govern the army, it was really extraordinary, it was only a short time, and these recruits already looked like them.
Chu Huan faced the soldiers of the Second Battalion of the Volcano, glanced at it, and then asked, "Have they all arrived?" ”
"All of them have arrived, and there is no shortage of one."
Chu Huan nodded, beckoned Situ Liangyu and the victim's family to come over, and said, "The soldiers are all here, you go and recognize people now." ”
Situ Liangyu sneered: "I already recognize it." ”
"Oh?" Chu Huan asked, "Who is it?" ”
Situ Liangyu raised his hand and pointed, "It's the big black guy in the second row, and I know him when he turns to ashes." ”
The commander of the Shanzi Battalion changed color slightly, but he had already said sharply: "Deng Guozhong, don't get out yet!" ”
When the big black man saw Situ Liangyu, his face had changed color, and the commander of the Shanzi Battalion shouted loudly, he could only come out hard, and Situ Liangyu said again: "There are three people who have done evil, and he is the leader." ”
"And two, who's who, get out"! Chu Huan said sharply.
Soon, the two people who came out of the formation again, both lowered their heads, did not dare to look up, the commander of the Shanzi Battalion Tie Qing had a blue face, and arched his hand to Chu Huan: "My lord, these three people are all lowly commanders, today on the orders of Lord Pei, the Shanzi Battalion went out of the camp to carry a heavy foot, at noon, rested on the spot for a while, these three people were listed as scouts, inspecting the nearby situation, this is Lord Pei's explanation, every time he marches, he must send scouts to explore the way in front, and after the camp, he must also send scouts to explore the situation nearby. ”
Chu Huan didn't say much, turned his eyes to Situ Liangyu, and asked, "You say that the three of them molested the people's girls and harmed people's lives, what kind of situation is it?" They are scouts, how did they come into your village? ”
Situ Liangyu stretched his neck and said loudly: "These three people came to our village today, most of the men in the village went to the fields to farm, there are few people in the village, these three people went to the village to find water to drink, and entered Zheng Laohan's house, I thought they were just drinking water, and they were officers and soldiers, and they would not do anything wrong...... Who knew that soon I heard a shout from the house, and I knew that something was wrong, so I ran over to see that these three people were pulling the cart Zheng Laohan's daughter-in-law......! ”
"My father was seriously ill, lying on the bed, when he heard the movement, he came out to see, and saw the three of them molesting my daughter-in-law and reasoning with them, but they pushed him down, my father was seriously ill, how could he withstand their push, and he fell to the ground at that time." The young man who almost made a move to Chu Huan just now said.
Situ Liangyu nodded and said, "This is what I saw with my own eyes, I asked people to find men at that time, enter the house and ...... with them!" As soon as he raised his hand, he pointed at the big black man Deng Guozhong and said, "This person said that I was nosy, and kicked me hard ......!" Situ Liangyu covered his lower abdomen, and it seemed that the lower abdomen began to hurt again, "After I fell to the ground, the three of them probably knew that something was wrong, so they didn't dare to stay, so they ran away at that time." ”
The young man's eyes were red and swollen, "My father was already seriously ill, and after that fall, he became even more sick, and my daughter-in-law was molested by these beasts, and she couldn't think about it for a while, and she had committed ......suicide!" ”
Chu Huan asked, "What's your name?" ”
"Zheng Xiaohan!"
"Well, the Governor will do you justice." Chu Huan turned his eyes to Deng Guozhong and asked, "What they said, but the truth?" ”
Deng Guozhong's body shook and looked at each other, Deng Guozhong gritted his teeth and said: "Lord Hui, they are spewing blood, the three of us were ordered to investigate, and we did pass through their village, we were thirsty at the time, and we did ask for a sip of water to drink, the woman was enthusiastic and gave us water to drink, and we drank the water and were about to leave, but we were stopped by the woman, saying that we drank her family's water and wanted to leave the water money, our three brothers were very angry at the time, and reasoned with her, who knew that the woman was very spicy, pulling us, Don't let us leave without leaving the water money...... The old man in their family, when he heard the dispute, also came to stop us from leaving, the scene was a little chaotic, it was a small mistake to push down the old man, not intentional, and then ......! Pointing at Situ Liangyu, he said, "Later, this person came over and helped them stop us, and we were not careful...... accidentally injured him, and if he molested the people and killed people, they would open their mouths and spew blood. ”
As soon as Deng Guozhong said this, the other two immediately raised their heads and said, "That's it, they begged for water money and didn't let us go, so they pulled together." ”
"You...... You guys are talking nonsense. Zheng Xiaohan's eyes were red, as if he wanted to eat people, "You beasts, you have ruined my family, and until now, you have to beat a rake...... My daughter-in-law is very virtuous, don't say that if she drinks saliva, she will give you a meal, and she will not charge you a penny, you ......! He was furious, and his whole body trembled with anger.
At this moment, he heard movement not far away, Chu Huan turned his head to look, and saw a person limping over here, followed by several soldiers, behind the soldiers, but followed by that group of people, it was Pei Ji who got the news and rushed back.
Pei Ji's face looked very bad, and when he saw Chu Huan, he walked over, and Chu Huan had already said, "Mr. Pei, something has happened in the army." ”
Pei Ji nodded, Chu Huan roughly said what had just happened, Pei Ji had already bowed deeply to Zheng Xiaohan, and then bowed his hand to Situ Liangyu, and finally bowed to the group of people.
There was silence all around.
"It was my lax management of the army that caused such a tragedy." Pei Ji said sadly: "Fathers and fellow villagers, Deng Guozhong and the three of them molested the people's daughter, caused her to commit suicide, and even beat the people, this is all my fault, I apologize to you here...... ”
Deng Guozhong hurriedly said: "Master Pei, we are all wronged. ”
Pei Ji glanced at the three of them coldly, and sneered: "A set of nonsense and nonsense, you treat everyone else as stupid as you?" When your words are preached, will anyone really believe them? ”
Chu Huan sighed and asked, "Mr. Pei, according to military law, how should these three people be handled?" ”
"Kill!"
Chu Huan waved his hand, "Then push them down and cut them down!" ”
"My lord, we have been wronged!" The three shouted in unison, the commander of the Shanzi battalion had waved his hand, and the three of them were taken down, and when the three of them saw this, they knew that they could not escape death, then Deng Guozhong was the first to turn around and run to the camp gate, Qi Hong's side several guards had already stopped sideways, Deng Guozhong ran over, Qi Hong had already raised a kick and kicked Deng Guozhong to the ground, and several soldiers came forward behind him and held Deng Guozhong and the three of them down.
Pei Ji said coldly: "Deng Guozhong and the three of them, scourge the people, immediately beheaded, the commander of the Shanzi battalion, there is no way to lead the troops, remove the commander, and the rod will be punished for thirty!" ”
Deng Guozhong and the three were dragged down, and they were executed immediately, and the commander of the Shanzi battalion was also willing to be punished, hundreds of soldiers saw this scene, they were all shocked, most of them were small soldiers, and the first time they saw the order to kill the soldiers, they knew at this time that this lame man was really very tight, and even the commander of the Shanzi battalion was not strict in his control, and he would be dismissed from office, and even scolded by the cane.
"Listen up, y'all." Pei Ji said to the soldiers in a deep voice: "Your Excellency the Governor ordered the new Praetorian Guard, not to let you harm the people, but to let you eliminate the bandits and ensure the safety of the people. Glancing at the soldiers, his voice was slow and powerful: "I'm not terrible as a cripple, but military law ...... But it is terrible, as a soldier, I ask you to remember that military law is greater than heaven! ”
