Chapter 287: Punishment
"Zhong Haotian!" Li Qing shouted sharply.
"Humble duty!" An official under the hall strode forward, walked to Li Qing's case, and bowed.
"You are the director of the Dingzhou Criminal Division, how do you think this case should be judged?" Li Qing asked.
As soon as these words came out, many people changed their colors, Li Hui's heart was shocked, he was originally asking Li Feng, hearing this, he raised his head and looked at Li Qing, in his heart, the two sides committed the crime, Dingzhou should have been coordinated in the middle, and then returned to both parties, let the two sides deal with it themselves, he was thinking about whether to go to Allure to ask for guilt! But the meaning of Li Qing's words is clearly that he has to deal with it himself, as an old man who has been in the officialdom for decades, he is well versed in the rules of officialdom, and he immediately understood what Li Qing meant, and his face couldn't help but change.
Li Feng and Qin Ming are both martial artists, and for a while, they thought that there were so many twists and turns, the soldiers on both sides fought, and Li Qing punished, as the commander of Dingzhou, it seemed that he had this power. Both of them looked at Zhong Haotian blankly, hoping to spit out a lenient punishment from this mouth.
But the two of them were bound to be disappointed, Zhong Haotian made a straight face and said: "Back to the marshal, Dingzhou is in the war period, according to the wartime regulations, as a soldier in Dingzhou, when the street fights, destroy property, accidentally injure the people, the law should be beheaded, in order to respect the best." β
Wonderful! Li Qing sighed in his heart, and looked at Zhong Haotian carefully, did this guy really have to talk about the law, or did he see through Shang Haibo and his own thoughts, and deliberately cooperated? But Zhong Haotian's stiff face really didn't see any clues.
"Mr. Shang, what do you think?" Li Qing looked at the civil and military ministers on the left and the right.
Shang Haibo smiled: "It should be so, the army is the weapon of the country, if it is not constrained by strict punishment and strict laws, there will be more incidents." β
Lu Yiming's face was still angry, and he said in a deep voice: "Of course, Director Zhong's punishment is appropriate, I agree!" β
Li Qing nodded slightly, "Since that's the case, then..." was about to speak, Li Feng below heard it clearly, and couldn't help but be anxious, all of them are from the Li clan below, but they are all relatives with relatives, if all of them are cut off because of this matter, then how can they go back by themselves? A few steps forward, he said, "Big brother! β
"Hmm!" Li Qing's face was blank, Li Feng was already aware of the problem, and hurriedly changed his words: "Dashuai, Dashuai, I have something to say!" β
"General Li Feng, please speak!" Li Qingdao.
"The commander, the last general is not strictly controlled, causing the soldiers under his command to cause trouble, the last general is willing to accept the punishment of the commander, but these soldiers have just returned from the front line, for several months, killing the barbarians and resisting the enemy, the credit is not small, and today's matter, although the crime is unforgivable, but it is still excusable, the honor of the soldier is like the life of the soldier, humiliated and not fought back, not the true character of the Dingzhou army, please see the marshal on their past merits, and lose lightly." Li Feng said loudly.
Li Qing was very happy in his heart, this younger brother is really knowledgeable, as soon as these few words came out, it was a brick and a nail on the ground, and the Yizhou soldiers could be listed in a dignified and strict manner from now on, well, listening to his tone, it seems that he also thinks of himself as the Dingzhou army.
"That makes sense!" Li Qing looked at Zhong Haotian, Director of the Criminal Division, with some hesitation, "Director Zhong, look?" β
Zhong Haotian still kept a straight face, "Grace comes from above, if the marshal wants to exempt them, it is not impossible to punish them lightly, but it is just a precedent to set this precedent, I am afraid that there will be troubles!" β
"It's just this once, not for example, okay?" Li Qingdao.
Zhong Haotian said: "Respect the life of the handsome!" Only this once, not for example! β
"That's good!" Li Qing said happily: "Since Director Zhong has no opinion, then these soldiers will be whipped fifty and punished for one year." "That's fifty lashes and a year's work for nothing.
Li Feng felt very satisfied, the eldest brother is still very face-saving, since his life has been saved, dozens of whips are nothing to the soldiers, as for the silver, hehe, the people of the Li clan, they live on a few silver, that is not enough for them to say that they have zero flowers! Bow down.
Looking at the happy Li Feng, Li Huizhi shook his head slightly, Li Feng was still too tender, and he was played with by Li Qing and a few people on the applause, and he was actually elated, but Li Feng, as the commander of the Yizhou soldiers, had already opened his mouth to agree, what else could he say? The name is not justified, this is not in Li Qing's inner hall, but in the Dingzhou public court! But after thinking about it, it doesn't matter if the meat is messed up or in the pot anyway, at this time, he looked at Qin Ming with great interest, I don't know how this muscle [***] will react?
Qin Ming hesitated for a long time, and finally walked to the front of the hall, the palace guards are the pro-army of Her Royal Highness the Princess, if they are beaten here, it will be too embarrassing for the princess.
"Dashuai, the last general has something to say!" Qin Ming said.
Li Qing touched the short beard on his lips and said, "General Qin, please speak!" β
"These palace guard soldiers are fighting in the street, it is indeed a violation of military discipline, please allow me to take them back to the barracks and punish them again!"
"No way!" Before Li Qing could speak, Zhong Haotian on the side had already retorted loudly, "Marshal, the palace guards violated the military discipline of Dingzhou, and they should be publicly punished by the Criminal Division to show justice." β
Qin Ming gritted his teeth and said, "Dashuai, after the general guarantees to bring him back to the camp, Dashuai personally sentenced him to fifty lashes and one whip, and he will never show favoritism." β
Zhong Haotian sneered: "Violating the military discipline of Dingzhou, it must be executed by the Criminal Division in public, this is the system, how can it be different from person to person, the same Dingzhou army, General Li Feng has no different meaning, why does General Qin repeatedly shirk, this is not favoritism, what is it?" β
"The palace guards are not the Dingzhou army!" Qin Ming blurted out, "You don't have to be bound by Dingzhou's military discipline!" β
With a snap, Li Qing slapped his palm on the big case, startling Qin Ming, Li Qing's face was gloomy, and he asked coldly: "The palace guard army is not the Dingzhou army, it is the army there?" β
Qin Ming was intimidated by Li Qing's momentum, and he was speechless for a while, and only after a while did he say with difficulty: "Marshal, although our department has separated from the Luoyang Palace Guard, it has not joined the Dingzhou Army, but the princess's private guard. β
Li Qing sneered: "It turned out to be the princess's personal guard?" So who am I? β
Qin Ming looked at Li Qing and said puzzledly: "Of course you are the commander of Zhenxi Hou Li!" β
"Yes, I am Li Qing in the west of the town, and I am the husband of the princess in your mouth! Zhong Haotian! Li Qing shouted.
Zhong Haotian's face showed a hint of excitement at this time, "Xia Guan is here!" β
"Let me hang these soldiers who violate military discipline on the square in front of the marshal's mansion, and give me fifty lashes!" After Li Qing finished speaking, he brushed his sleeves and left.
Qin Ming looked at Li Qing's back in a rage, staying in the local area, he understood Li Qing's last sentence, even your princess is mine, I don't have the right to deal with your personal guards?
Wooden stakes were quickly erected in the huge square, and more than 100 soldiers who committed the crime were tied up shirtless, and the execution experts from the Punishment Department carried long whips in their hands, while throwing loud whips, listening to the cheers of the onlookers, and squinting at the soldiers who were waiting to be beaten.
"Execution!" Zhong Haotian ordered loudly.
A uniform crunch sounded, accompanied by a muffled grunt.
Leaning slightly, the camp of Alluring City, seeing a group of palace guard soldiers who were beaten and bloodied by Qin Ming, listening to Li Qing's words relayed by Qin Ming, Allure raised his eyebrows, and almost blew up his lungs, this person was bullied, and people had nothing to say.
"As soon as this case is opened, there will be endless troubles!" Yan Nanfei sighed, "General Qin, you should have prevented this from happening at that time, that is, you should have punished, and the palace guards could only be punished by the princess herself, how could it be done by the Dingzhou Execution Division!" Yan Nanfei is a veteran in the political arena, and he has figured out the follow-up impact of this matter in a blink of an eye. If you made a mistake, if you knew this, you should have gone in person, and you were careless!
Returning to his big tent angrily, Allure was furious, "Mr. Yan, how did I ask you to go to Li Qing?" β
Yan Nanfei shook his head and said, "Princess, I have informed Li Dashuai about building a princess mansion in Fuzhou, and Li Shuai agreed very happily, but said that it can't be built now!" β
"Why?"
Li Shuai said that the current war is tight, and all the financial resources of the two states are not enough to be used on this battlefield, and the Marshal's Mansion is still borrowing money from everywhere, how can there be any spare money to build a princess's mansion for the princess! Or wait until the war is over and the finances are good before building for the princess. β
"Humph! I'm afraid it's not that there is no money, but it's dragging, the finances are abundant, when is it not his words, if he is never rich? Allure sneered.
"Princess, it may not be Li Shuai's lie that the two states are short of money now, as far as I know, there is a newly built bond issuance department in Dingzhou, which is a department that passes on the door to borrow money." Yannan Feidao.
Allure thought for a moment and said, "In this case, Mr. Yan, you go and tell Li Qing that it doesn't matter if the princess's mansion can't be built for a while, but I want to set up a temporary yamen in Fuzhou, and since Fuzhou is my territory, I will naturally send someone over to supervise it." β
Yan Nanfei smiled and retreated, the princess This is a strong response to the palace guards' punishment to the marshal's mansion, although the choice of time seems a little inappropriate at this time, there is a very obvious sense of revenge, but it is also just a bright and bright light, it is a needle to the wheat mang, the princess has never been a surname who is willing to suffer, and I don't know how Li Dashuai felt after hearing the princess's idea?
I think Li Qing doesn't have it, you want to set up a yamen in Fuzhou, you can, there is no problem at all, just go and set it up, but whether it has any effect or not, whether it can play a role is two words. Fuzhou, now it is also my home field, the time and place are favorable, you don't occupy anything, you want to fight with me, there is no door!
There is intrigue in the city of Dingzhou, but the war is spreading on the grassland. LΓΌ Dalin's army approached Mawangji, while the mountain wind approached Kulun, the cavalry of Murowei advanced to Jining, and Bayar encountered the enemy on three sides.
