At the gates of the city, the riots caused by the killing of the commander of the county soldiers have subsided. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

As the news spread, the number of onlookers not only did not decrease, but increased, and they all came to watch the heroic posture of the new Taishou punishing the military tyrants, and even Zhao Shijiu stopped moaning and saying mercy.

The crowd of onlookers was silent, except for the sound of whipping and the groans of the county soldiers wafting through the air.

Liu Miao was still standing next to the book box, quietly watching Yan Yi and Yun Yi go down to the ground and whip the county soldiers.

It's not that he has a bad taste for abusive people, but to show his attitude towards those who break the law and discipline as a new Taishou.

This whip is not only whipping the county soldiers, but also whipping the face of the Lei family and other hegemonic clans, with the whipping, people's fear of Haoqiang and the awe of the Taishou law are also changing.

Liu Miao had already told Yan Yi and Yun Yi that they would slow down the pace of execution. He knew that someone must have gone to report to Lei Bo and the others, and he was just waiting for Lei Bo to arrive.

In fact, as early as when Liu Miao appeared at the gate of the city, Lei Bo had already received the news, but he didn't take it seriously, those county soldiers were his descendants, and he believed that nothing would go wrong. And when Liu Miao killed Wu Chang with thunder and whipped the county soldiers, he couldn't sit still anymore, although he had already heard what his father and others said, and tried to avoid a head-on conflict with Taishou, but if he didn't come out at this time, the hearts of the people below would be scattered, and the county soldiers would no longer listen to him. As a result, he didn't have time to consult with his father and others, so he ran directly to the east gate with a team of county soldiers.

The onlookers basically knew this Lei Bing Cao, who used to be the commander of the county soldiers, so when Lei Bo arrived, the people automatically made way for him.

Lei Bo jumped off the horse, walked quickly to Liu Miao, gave a salute first, and then said, "Xiaguan has seen the prince." ”

Liu Miao didn't raise his eyes, and asked lightly, "Who are you?" ”

Lei Bo's face turned dark, and he had to reply: "The next official is a soldier Cao Peng Lei Bo." Dare to ask the prince, what crime did his subordinate soldiers commit, that they were innocently beheaded and whipped? ”

"Are you questioning Ben Taishou?" Liu Miao said coldly.

"The lower officials don't dare! When the lower officials heard that the prince was here, they were afraid that some soldiers would not know about it and collided with the king, so they came to take a look. ”

"Then why do you think that the soldiers were innocently beheaded and whipped?"

"This--the lower official was quick for a while. His subordinate soldiers have always obeyed the law and discipline, and if there is no serious crime, he may not be able to convince the subordinate officers and the county soldiers. ”

"What a soldier who loves soldiers like a son and abides by the law!" Liu Miao glanced at Lei Bo, he thought he was just a reckless man, but he didn't expect to know how to be reasonable, but what is the use of this truth in the face of facts?

"Captain Lu, you came to tell Lei Bing Cao, what crimes did these people commit?" Liu Miao instructed Lu Jun.

Lu Jun said: "These people disobeyed orders, bullied the people, drove away the applicants, and checked the Taishou submission book without permission. Deserve! ”

"Lei Bingcao, did you hear clearly? If you still have questions, you can ask the soldiers involved, the people who submitted the letters, and the onlookers around you. Liu Miao said again.

Lei Bo didn't expect to save the county soldiers, but he just made a gesture, so as not to lose people's hearts, so he naturally had to start to soften, so he said: "Since it is the judgment of the prince, and there are so many people who testify, the lower officials naturally dare not question it anymore." The lower officials don't bother the prince, and they leave first! ”

"Slow!" Liu Miao said, "Now that the matter of a few soldiers has been clarified, we will discuss the matter of Lei Bing Cao!" ”

"What's the matter with the lower officials?" Lei Bo wondered.

"Then why did Lei Bing Cao come? If Ben Taishou is not mistaken, the matter of the book box was entrusted to Lu Duwei, and these county soldiers also served under Lu Duwei, and it seems that they have nothing to do with Lei Bing Cao. Why did Lei Bing Cao come to ask about this? Liu Miao said slowly.

Lei Bo couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, he finally realized what he had overlooked. These county soldiers are his descendants, and it is right to obey him, but in official business, they have been transferred to Lu Jun's subordinates, and he is in a hurry, so he treats them as his own subordinates.

However, he didn't panic, he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly replied: "The order that the lower official received was to temporarily borrow the county soldiers from Lu Duwei, and these soldiers still belong to the lower official standard. ”

"Really?" Liu Miao smiled, he did say this at the time, everyone knew that this was a polite sentence, if you really want to pick out the words, it is indeed true.

"Then you ordered the soldiers to privately check the people's submissions and drive away the ordinary book-submitters, can you be regarded as overstepping your authority?"

"The lower official did not issue such an order, but only out of concern for the king, and privately told the soldiers to be careful not to let the people insult the king again."

"Lei Bingcao, very good!" Liu Miao said lightly, "Since Lei Bingcao cares so much about Ben Taishou, now Ben Taishou will ask you to help me with one thing." See the man with the broken leg over there? In broad daylight, there were thugs who committed violence against the people, and intimidated and threatened the people, causing extremely bad effects and completely damaging the face of me, the Taishou. In order not to affect Ben Taishou's plan, I give Lei Bingcao three days, hoping that Lei Bingcao can live up to Ben Taishou's expectations. ”

"This-" Lei Bo was embarrassed, but then said, "Xiaguan will take the man to investigate." ”

"That man is a victim, and in order to prevent the murderer from killing people, I will take him back to the Taishou Mansion. When investigating the case, if necessary, Lei Bing Cao can go to the Taishou Mansion to inquire. What does Lei Bingcao think? ”

Lei Bo had no reason to object, so he had to reply: "The lower officials naturally obey the orders of the prince!" ”

Liu Miao smiled and said, "Lei Bingcao really cares about Ben Taishou. In addition, there was another incident, because of the transfer of the soldiers, the rate was inconsistent, which caused the soldiers to make mistakes, and almost made Ben Taishou wronged Lei Bing Cao. In order to avoid similar incidents in the future, Ben Taishou felt the need to share the burden for Captain Leidu. At present, there are two standing county soldiers, with a total of 800 people, right? I bothered Lei Bing Cao to give a part to Lu Duwei, so that Lu Duwei could be responsible for the matter of submitting the book box. What does Lei Bingcao think? ”

This is to take the opportunity to seize the power of the army! Lei Bo's heart was full of anger, his face turned red all of a sudden, and he couldn't help clenching his fists tightly, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Lu Jun had been standing quietly on the side, and at this time he couldn't help but hold the handle of the knife.

Liu Miao didn't seem to see it at all, and asked with a puzzled look: "Is there any difficulty with Lei Bingcao?" I remember that when His Majesty gave Ben Taishou an official, he said, 'The affairs of the county and the county should be paid to the secretary', isn't it not the matter of the county soldiers? ”

Lei Bo was extremely aggrieved, if it was possible, he really wanted to directly wave his troops to kill Liu Miao, he finally suppressed the anger in his heart, and said, "Obey the orders of the prince!" The next official retires! ”

After speaking, he turned around and waved his hand to bring the team of county soldiers who rushed away.

"What a pity! I thought he could be impulsive! Liu Miao muttered.

Lu Jun couldn't help but be a little puzzled, what is the pity of being too guarded? Could it be that you still want to take the opportunity to kill Lei Bo?

Of course, Lu Jun didn't know Liu Miao's thoughts, and Liu Miao wouldn't explain it to him.

At this time, the fifty lashes given to the four county soldiers were also over, and Liu Miao faced the onlookers who began to whisper, and said loudly: "Fellow villagers, I am the new Jiujiang Taishou Liu Miao." Miao set up this book box, one is to read, and the other is to understand the customs of Jiujiang County. I never thought that there would be soldiers who disobeyed orders and obstructed the people from submitting their letters, and now they have been punished by me. The book box will still be permanent in the future, which is not only a box for me to collect good books, but also a channel for villagers to communicate with Miao. If you have anything to say to Miao, you can also write it down, and if you put it into it, Miao will read it one by one. If there is any harm caused by the submission of the book in the future, anyone in the know can submit a report or directly complain to the Taishou Mansion, and Miao guarantees that he will make decisions for the people!

In addition, I have asked the Zhao brother to be strictly investigated in the case of being beaten, if anyone has relevant clues, they can also submit a letter to inform me, after finding out the truth, I will definitely give Brother Zhao and the villagers a satisfactory explanation. ”

"Captain Lu!"

"The subordinates are here!"

"Qing led people to carry Brother Zhao to the Taishou Mansion and found a doctor to treat his injuries."

"Subordinates obey!" Lu Jun replied loudly, and then said to the onlookers: "I will send Brother Zhao to Taishou Mansion for treatment, but can a brother come forward to help?" ”

There are many people who sympathize with Zhao Shijiu among the people, so as soon as Lu Jun said this, many people immediately came out. Lu Jun selected a few young men who were quite strong and instructed them to put Zhao Shijiu on a long wooden plank, ready to carry him to the Taishou Mansion.

Liu Miao couldn't help nodding secretly, in this way, it would be difficult for Taishou to save Zhao Shijiu if he didn't want to spread it.

Before leaving, Lu Jun walked up to Liu Miao, holding a knife in both hands, wanting to return it to Liu Miao.

Liu Miao waved his hand and said with a smile: "I saw that Brother Ji Cai used this knife quite easily, so I gave it to Brother Ji Cai." ”

Lu Jun hurriedly excused himself and said: "This is the treasure knife that the prince of the mansion carries with him, and he is ashamed of it!" ”

Liu Miao said: "Brother Ji Cai, as a person who leads the soldiers, how can he not take advantage of the weapons? This knife is difficult to come in handy in my hands, so it is better to hand it over to Brother Ji Cai. If my brother feels that it is not easy to accept it in vain, why not use this sword to protect the territory and the people! It can be regarded as repaying my gift of knives. ”

Lu Jun couldn't refuse again, so he had to hold the knife and said solemnly: "Xie Fujun!" Jun will live up to the hope of the king! ”

"Good!" Liu Miao patted Lu Jun's arm and said happily: "In the future, I will rely on Brother Ji Cai a lot." After Qing placed Zhao Shijiu, he could find Lei Bo to ask for soldiers, and then select suitable people to take care of the book box. The affairs of the book box must be paid attention to! ”

"If your subordinates obey your orders, you will complete the task!"

Liu Miao also instructed: "After the book box in Shouchun City is effectively operated, I will also set up book boxes in the rest of the county, and Qing can prepare first." Before this, the most important thing is to control the county soldiers under his command, and not let the soldiers out of chaos. If you have any problems, you can come to me directly. ”

"Don't worry!"

Liu Miao patted Lu Jun's arm again, and left with the servant.

Lu Jun looked at Liu Miao's back, then looked at the treasure knife in his hand, shook his head and sighed, then raised his head again, and his eyes became firm.
