Chapter 26 Cutting the grass to the roots

Li Zhen left Qi Shan's tent and found He Ming still wandering and pacing outside the tent. Li Zhen sneered twice in his heart, this thief is not dead, so he can't be blamed for being ruthless.

He Ming heard footsteps and looked up to see Li Zhen walking out.

At this time, Li Zhen's face was sad and looked very heavy.

Seeing this, He Ming felt that Li Zhen must have been scolded by Qi Shan, and his heart was extremely happy.

He Ming walked slowly to Li Zhen's side with his hands behind his back, walked in figure-eight steps, and said with a smile: "Li Zhen, let's plant it this time." I tell you, I will win back the trust of adults little by little, but I will definitely make you lose your face in front of adults, and then lose the trust of adults, and finally be discarded by adults. When the time comes, I can crush you with a single finger. ”

"Hahaha......"

After that, He Ming laughed loudly, extremely happy.

The soldiers on the night patrol looked at it, and they all showed strange expressions, could it be that He Ming was crazy and crazy?

Li Zhen asked puzzledly, "General He, what did you say?" I don't understand. ”

He Ming thought that Li Zhen pretended not to admit it, and sneered: "Don't pretend, you angered Miss Zhilan just now, and the adults will definitely reprimand you when they learn about this." Presumably, when you met the adult, you were already reprimanded with a split head and a face. Alas, you're also in your early twenties, so why are you so ignorant? ”

After a pause, He Ming said again: "I obviously saved Miss Zhilan and was kind to others, but now I have angered others and been punished and reprimanded by adults, it's really unlucky!" But I like you to be so stupid, the more stupid the better, the happier I am. ”

Li Zhen said: "General He, your lord did not reprimand me. ”

He Ming raised his eyebrows and exclaimed, "Impossible, I have already told the adults about you, and I will definitely reprimand you." I know, you deliberately lied to me, and you deliberately didn't admit it for fear of losing face. ”

Li Zhen saw He Ming's reaction, and laughed in his heart.

The night is long, and it's really good to play He Ming.

Li Zhen sighed and said, "General He, I really didn't lie to you. When I came out of the tent just now, I looked very sad, because my lord said that you were not doing your right thing, so I asked me to give you a herald to rebuke you with twenty sticks, and told you to shut up and not speak indiscriminately. I thought your ass was about to bloom, so I showed a sad look! ”

"Huh?"

He Ming's eyes widened, revealing a look of disbelief.

He pointed at Li Zhen and said loudly: "I don't believe it, you lied to me, you lied to me." I want to meet adults and expose your lies in front of them. Hmph, you said this because you wanted to take revenge on me. Li Zhen, you are so inhuman, you want to frame me, and adults will not forgive you. ”

He Ming rushed to the big tent of the Chinese army like crazy, like a mad dog. But before He Ming entered Qi Shan's camp, Qi Shan's voice came from inside the camp: "Forty military sticks are punished with a cane!" ”

The voice was old and hoarse, but sonorous and powerful.

"Plop!"

He Mingru was struck by lightning, his brain was buzzing, his legs were weak, and his burly body fell to the ground. He looked at the big tent in a daze, and roared loudly: "My lord, the last general will be loyal to the adult, and there is no second heart. Please read on the part of the last general who has no merit and hard work, and spare the last general this time. ”

The tent was silent, and there was no sound.

Li Zhen saw He Ming's begging for mercy, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a sneer. Twenty military sticks have become forty military sticks, He Ming is planted this time, and if he doesn't die, he will be crippled.

"Come on, drag it down!"

With a wave of Li Zhen's hand, two soldiers walked over, stretched out their hands to grab He Ming, and dragged them to the edge of the camp.

Huang Shihai came to Li Zhen's side, his eyes were cold, and he said in a deep voice: "My lord, if the forty military sticks are beaten hard, He Ming will definitely die, this is an opportunity to get rid of He Ming." ”

Li Zhen nodded and followed to watch the soldiers execute.

He Ming was placed on a wooden plank erected, and two soldiers stood on either side, each holding a military stick.

"Bang!"

The soldier on the left fell with a stick and hit He Ming's ass hard.

A muffled sound came out, and the meat on He Ming's buttocks trembled, and the stick hit the meat hard. In an instant, a terrible howl sounded through the camp, like a wolf's howl. Li Zhen frowned, stretched out his hand to stop it, and ordered: "Stop his mouth, lest the screams make the adults and Miss Zhilan unable to sleep." ”

If you don't cut the grass and don't eradicate the roots, there will be endless troubles, and Li Zhen will naturally not leave a disaster for himself.

After a while, the soldier took a cloth towel and blocked He Ming's mouth.

Not only that, He Ming's hands and feet were tied.

He Ming kept twisting his body, looked up at Li Zhen, and babbled out in his mouth, not knowing whether to beg Li Zhen for mercy or scold Li Zhen. But Li Zhen was unmoved, and waved his hand to let the soldiers standing on both sides continue the execution. The goose-egg-thick military stick slapped on He Ming's buttocks, and blood splattered after a while.

Blood mixed with trousers, flesh and blood blurred, and only then did he hit twenty military sticks.

Li Zhen didn't say a word, turned around and left.

The two soldiers who were executed looked at each other, looked at Li Zhen who was leaving, and then at He Ming who was lying down. Li Zhen didn't personally supervise it, they could beat lightly to prevent He Ming's wounds from aggravating, but they could also beat hard and kill He Ming. The two finally chose to lean towards Li Zhen, and the heavy staff snapped, without the slightest mercy.

After going down with four sticks, He Ming had already fainted and lay on the wooden board softly.

"Smack! Syllable! ”

The cane continued, and the sticks were stained with blood.

I don't know when, blood flowed from the corner of He Ming's mouth, and the person had no breath.

At this time, Li Zhen walked back, looked at the dead He Ming, and sighed in his heart, but he did not regret it. He walked cautiously every step of the way, not wanting to leave himself in trouble. Li Zhen came to Qi Shan's camp tent, reported the news of He Ming's death to Qi Shan, knelt on the ground and said: "Because of the matter of the last general, the adult lost a general, please punish the adult." ”

Qi Shan asked with a smile: "Li Zhen, you watched He Ming being beaten to death, and you didn't think about sparing his life?" ”

Li Zhen raised his head, faced Qi Shan, and said loudly: "My lord, He Ming wants to deal with the last general everywhere, thinking about putting the last general to death, and the last general will naturally not save him." As the saying goes, if you fight a tiger, you will not die, but you will be injured by a tiger, which is a truth that ordinary people know. Although He Ming was killed, the last general did not regret it, and asked the adults to punish him. ”

When Qi Shan heard this, he laughed.

He waved his hand and said, "Get up, don't kneel." ”

Li Zhen asked in surprise: "The adults don't punish the last general?" ”

Qi Shan said slowly: "Everyone is dead, what's the use of punishing you." Besides, He Ming's mind is all about inviting pets, and he has never thought about how to fight? Such a person dies when he dies, and it is useless to keep it. As for you, fight me well and win more battles, even if you live up to the trust that your officials have placed in you. ”

After a pause, Qi Shan said in a deep voice: "You have a decisive personality and have the potential of a famous general. But this official wants to warn you that in officialdom, you must not only be decisive in killing, but also be able to bend and stretch, understand? ”

These words are similar to teaching disciples.

Qi Shan really has a love for Li Zhen, after all, Li Zhen was personally excavated by him, and he is loyal to him, plus Li Zhen has a relationship with Gui Liang's daughter Zhilan, so Qi Shan will mention Li Zhen.

Li Zhen said excitedly: "The grace of the adults will never be forgotten." ”

Qi Shan waved his hand and said, "It's good to understand, let's go down, it's time to clean up after a night of trouble." ”

Li Zhen turned around and walked out of the tent, but the clothes behind him were already soaked. He sat back and watched He Ming's intention to be killed by Qi Shan, in fact, if he thought about it, he could understand that Qi Shan had been mixed in the complex officialdom for decades, and had gone through three generations of emperors of Jiaqing, Daoguang, and Xianfeng, so he could be said to be the elder of the three dynasties, and he was definitely an old fox.

Fortunately, Qi Shan needed to rely on Li Zhen to not lower the punishment. After Li Zhen came out of Qishan's tent, Huang Shihai immediately greeted him and asked in a low voice, "My lord, how is it?" ”

Li Zhen smiled: "It's okay, it's a satisfactory solution!" ”

Huang Shihai also had a smile on his face, as soon as He Ming died, things would be much better.
