Chapter 335: Asking for Wages (5)
When the military salary was issued, Lu Bing always stood by Yang Chengzu's side and accompanied him throughout the process. Yang Chengzu has already promised him the future of his guard deputy, and the two can be regarded as a relationship of common interests and shared risks. Moreover, his age is also the time when he likes to cause trouble, although following the prince has smoothed out his edges and corners, but when there is a lively look, he will not miss it.
Seeing the noise of these brocade clothes, he was a little nervous, but fortunately, Yang Chengzu brought his entourage in today to pay military salaries, and the number was not less than that of these people recruited by Wu Jinghe. Even if there is a fight, there will be no loss.
When he saw those people rushing in, Lu Bing's face was a little embarrassed, and he whispered to Yang Chengzu: "These are the two guard deputies, Wang Feng and Li Mao." He was a brocade officer, and he was later transferred here as a guard of honor, and he was also a hereditary military household, and he was an old qualification, and he had a big temper. You have to be careful. ”
These two people are middle-aged people in their forties, and their faces are very vicious, and they are typical warrior faces at first glance. The figure is very strong, wearing a gauze hat and a round neck, looking at the dress, it is also the dress of the fourth-grade official. is not a dispatch, only an official position, and they have to be on the same level as Yang Chengzu.
Of course, the officials of the Ming Dynasty can't look at the grade, but than the dispatch, from the perspective of position, these two are Yang Chengzu's subordinates, there is nothing to say. It's just that these two people didn't salute Yang Chengzu when they saw him, but poked his chest with their hands and said, "Housheng, you are the new guard of honor?" The toad yawned, what a big breath, we are here, how are you going to remove our official position? ”
"Yes, we followed the old prince in Beijing, from Beijing to Anlu, all the way. After serving the old prince for so many years, now that the old prince has just passed away, you want to change our future? Phew! Which head of garlic are you? It's only been a few days since you came, and you want to ride on the heads of our brethren and blind your dogs. ”
These two people also brought some personal entourage, and those personal entourages followed and made noise, and also scolded Yang Chengzu loudly. Although Yang Chengzu is a chief, he is too young, and his age is half younger than that of Wang and Li, which is a bit overwhelming. Moreover, Wang Li and the others are old ministers who followed King Xing, and they are considered old qualifications in the Department of Honor and Guard, and they don't care much about the small character of Yang Chengzu in their eyes.
The two of them came out this time, and naturally there were people behind them, and with backers, they became more and more arrogant in their actions. The twenty or so servants they brought with them were also strong young men, obviously ready for a fight. But seeing that there were hundreds of people on Yang Chengzu's side, he didn't dare to start fighting, he just wanted to arouse the anger of the public.
Yang Chengzu's face was impassive, and he didn't pay attention to the offense of the two, but just asked: "You two, you face very raw, I haven't seen it." Are you the deputy guard of honor in the palace? ”
"That's right, you are the deputy guard here, and you said yesterday that you would dismiss us. It's okay to be young and talk and act a little more absurdly. But you must know who you are against, some people, you can't afford to mess with, you know? ”
"Oh, you're the two lieutenants of honor who left their posts without permission. It's good that you didn't recognize the wrong person. As soon as he finished speaking, he heard two cries of pain, followed by two loud noises. Wang Feng and Li Mao's bodies fell out like this and hit the ground heavily.
These two people were able to be ordered to protect King Xing, and they were naturally people with strong martial arts, but they didn't expect Yang Chengzu to actually say that they would do it, and they lost the lead all of a sudden.
By the time he reacted, he had already been knocked out. The two men were furious, scolded and stood up, reaching out to touch their weapons. But Yang Chengzu's shot was much faster than theirs, the weapons of the two had not yet been unsheathed, and a snow-bright sword had already crossed Wang Feng's neck, although Li Mao was not held by the weapon, but Yang Chengzu's cold gaze was not inferior to the blade.
Behind him, Wang Tietou stood in a row with more than a dozen men holding crossbow boxes in their hands, looking at the two of them and the family they brought with angry faces. And behind them, some men directly picked up the firecracker. The most important thing is that except for those Wujing and the recruited guards, the other guards didn't make any action at all, and they just watched the two guard deputies being beaten so indifferently, as if they had nothing to do with them.
Those men who were recruited later wanted to take this opportunity to make trouble together, but they didn't want Lu Bing to stop shouting: "Whoever dares to move will take it immediately." If you dare to disobey, you will be killed on the spot! ”
He is still young, and although he has the official title of a cane, he actually has no power on weekdays, and he can only obey orders in everything. I was so excited that I was finally able to be the master of myself today, and I couldn't help but pull out my saber and look at those men nervously.
The honor guards of these honor guards did not draw their weapons directly, but many people came out of the duty room, but most of them stood behind Yang Chengzu. The space is limited, and all the honor soldiers can't stand, but there are many people who rush out to help, and some people are playing a round:
"What did you say, how did you fight? Everyone hurriedly collected their weapons, so as not to hurt the harmony. And you people, what kind of coaxing, don't you hurry back and don't want to live? ”
On the surface, these words are fighting peace, but in fact, they are indirectly helping Yang Chengzu. After all, it was he who beat people, and it was someone else who was beaten, if this matter was settled, it would naturally be the two guard deputies who would suffer. Yang Chengzu didn't show anything, but snorted coldly:
"For a petty offense, despise the officials, and only one person falls on the heel, this punishment is actually too light. The military discipline of our Honor and Guard Division has been abandoned for too long, and the military law is strict, so let's start today. The two of you are also old people for many years, you don't know the rules, and those who don't know don't blame this one, you can't use it. Then come according to the rules, one person beats forty military sticks, I don't think you will disobey it. ”
"You dare?" Although the two were held by weapons, they did not show any fear. It is a peaceful season now, Yang Chengzu always does not dare to kill people, and a guard of honor has no power to kill the deputy of the guard of honor. The two of them will suffer some immediate losses at most, but the loser will not lose the battle, if he is really beaten with a military stick, even if he loses his face, he will not be able to mix in the division in the future.
"Don't dare? What would I not dare. You probably don't know, this sword is a gift from the Holy Heaven, and with this precious sword, even if I kill you, what can I do? As the royal guards, you do not think of doing your duty faithfully, and you share the worries of the Lord. But if I neglect my duties and are lazy in my official duties, will I not be able to handle you? You are indeed the old man in the guard, but this is not a basis for you to be exempt from sin, let me show you today whether the people in the guard support me or support you. Come on, do the execution, forty rods for each person! ”
