Chapter 17: Taking a Desperate Approach (I)

Two guards escorted Xiang Boyuan to the door, but a person from outside hurried in and almost collided with them. Just as the two sides gave way to each other, and then they both stopped, Huang Hai, who was sitting there, had already seen that the person who came in was Xiang Boyuan's brother, Xiang Botong, the commander of the third battalion and the eighth company.

I saw Xiang Botong stunned for a moment, and then suddenly raised his arm and looked at his brother is mouth. While fighting, Xiang Botong also taught a lesson: "You brute, you dare to do such a hurtful thing, our Xiang family does not have a son and nephew like you who corrupts the door." ”

Xiang Boyuan had already been slapped in the mouth by the Yellow Sea just now, and his cheeks were swollen and his mouth and nose were bleeding, but now he was beaten by his brother again, not only did he bleed more from his mouth and nose, but even his back molars were pulled loose several times, and his whole face was swollen like a pig's head, and he couldn't even speak clearly.

After slapping his younger brother's mouth, Xiang Botong seemed to be still angry, raised his left foot, and kicked on Xiang Boyuan's lower abdomen. The severe pain made Xiang Boyuan immediately stiffen up, if it weren't for the arms being supported by two guards, I was afraid that he would have fallen to the ground at this time.

After beating his younger brother, Xiang Botong entered the house, knelt down in his clothes, kowtowed to the Yellow Sea, and said: "The villain asks Botong to ask the Twelfth Master for his guilt." It was all because of the early death of the parents in the villain's family, and only my two brothers depended on each other, so the villain was usually too indulgent to the only brother and the only blood relative, and failed to teach and restrain him well, so he acted arbitrarily and did this kind of ugly thing that insulted the family style and violated military discipline. The villain is here now, not to intercede for his brother, but to hope that the Twelfth Master can punish this brute severely, so that he will no longer dare to act so recklessly, and be a soldier in the 'Flying Dragon Army' in a proper manner. At the same time, it can also make other soldiers take this as a warning and remember the truth that military rules must not be violated. ”

Xiang Botong's words seem to be drawing a clear line with his younger brother and supporting Huang Hai to punish according to the law, but he has been emphasizing between the lines that he only has such a younger brother, and his zuihou sentence is based on the premise that his younger brother is alive and still serving in the "Flying Dragon Army".

Huang Hai naturally understood the implicit meaning of Xiang Boyuan's call, but with his personality and character, it was impossible to let go of a scum like Xiang Boyuan. However, considering that Xiang Botong is an old man in the "Flying Dragon Village", who has served in the "Flying Dragon Pioneer Battalion" and "Flying Dragon Army" for many years, and is now a company commander of the "Flying Dragon Army", he and his younger brother, who is not angry, have performed well in all previous operations and have made a lot of contributions--otherwise, the Xiang brothers would not have become company commanders and platoon commanders. Therefore, Huang Hai did not bluntly refuse Xiang Botong's implicit plea, but said in a more euphemistic tone: "Xiang Company Commander does not have to blame himself, although my 'Flying Dragon Army' has strict military discipline, it has never been a matter of pursuing the family members of officers and soldiers for violating discipline. Xiang Boyuan is Xiang Boyuan, you are you. Xiang Boyuan violated military discipline and he was responsible for it alone, and he would never be implicated in Xiang Company Commander. As for the disposal of Xiang Boyuan, its own military justice department is responsible. A certain family believes that they will judge impartially and give an explanation to the victim and at the same time to the company commander. ”

Although Huang Hai's words were more tactful, his tone was unquestionable. After listening to Xiang Botong, he knew that it was impossible for him to say that the Twelfth Master would let go of his younger brother. However, Xiang Botong was far more powerful than his younger brother, and he did not show a look of disappointment, nor did he speak in a dissatisfied tone, but said to Huang Hai respectfully: "The villain has thanked the twelve masters for their innocence. ”

After speaking, Xiang Botong kowtowed to the Yellow Sea a few more times, and then got up and exited the room on the grounds that he still had to lead people on patrol, and never looked at his brother again.

Seeing that after Xiang Broadcom's vague plea for mercy was politely rejected by himself, he did not show any dissatisfaction, but calmly accepted this fact after knowing that there was no turning point, and Huang Hai was also relieved. As a traverser who had just been transferred from the Ministry of Security to the Ministry of Military Affairs, Huang Hai naturally did not want to have a falling out with his subordinates just a few days after taking office, and that would have an adverse impact on his future work -- it was also impossible for Huang Hai to "turn a blind eye and close one eye" to his subordinates violating military regulations, because that would not be in line with his principles of being a man and doing things. ,

After Xiang Bo announced his retirement and left, the two guards also pushed Xiang Boyuan out of the room and put him into custody. It is said to be a detention, but it is already late at night, even if the three brothers of the Fei family also had a prison in this winter place to guard the pirates who broke the rules, it is difficult to find their specific location for a while. Therefore, the two guards just locked Xiang Boyuan in an idle wing room in the small courtyard where Huang Hai lived. There were guards guarding the outside of the wing, and after only a few days Huang Hai and others had completed their inspection of this harbor, they would be escorted to the salt field and handed over to the military judge who had gone out with the 1,000-strong bandit squad to deal with them.

After dealing with Xiang Boyuan, Huang Hai comforted the young woman who was snatched by Xiang Boyuan, and then ordered a personal guard to send her back to the previous detention point, and instructed the personal guard, on the one hand, to visit the young woman's injured father and friendly neighbors, and on the other hand, to appease the surrounding captives, so that they could know the results of the "Flying Dragon Army" side of the handling of this matter. This can calm the mood of the captives, and prevent someone from taking the opportunity to incite the captives to make trouble.

At this point, the incident of Xiang Boyuan's forced robbery of the captive daughter is over. After this toss, Huang Hai also felt a little tired, so he walked out of Xiang Boyuan's residence with the rest of his guards, preparing to go back to his residence to rest. At this time, most of the soldiers in the second platoon who had been gathered nearby and waited for the outcome of the incident had not left. When everyone saw the Yellow Sea come out, they stepped forward to salute one after another.

However, it was also a salute, but the expressions of the soldiers were far from the same. Most of the soldiers showed either awe or sincerity on their faces, but there were also a few soldiers who showed a look of resentment or even resentment when they saluted the Yellow Sea. Of course, unlike those soldiers who showed awe or sincerity, the expressions of resentment and resentment on the faces of a few soldiers were basically fleeting, and then replaced by flattering smiles. Coupled with the fact that the night was deep at this time, it was difficult to capture the flickering expression of dissatisfaction just by the candlelight shining in the room. Therefore, Huang Hai, who walked in front of the soldiers in the second platoon, and his personal guards did not notice these unfriendly eyes.

In the middle of the night, Xiang Botong returned to his residence after leading his men around the prisoner camp. Although it was late at night, Xiang Botong did not go to rest immediately, but sat down at the table, took a sip of the tea that his soldiers poured for him. The tea was brewed before, and although the teapot had been placed in the teapot, the tea had cooled after two hours. However, instead of dissolving the resentment in Xiang Botong's heart, the cold tea turned his resentment into anger and raging.

Xiang Botong, who could no longer control his emotions, slammed the teacup to the ground, and at the same time as the porcelain teacup "snapped", the word "hateful" also burst out of Xiang Botong's mouth. His face became a little distorted by resentment and anger, and he was so frightened that the soldiers next to him didn't dare to come out, and even forgot to clean up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground.

Xiang Botong didn't pay attention to the fault of his soldiers for not cleaning up the broken porcelain, and at this time his thoughts were all on his own brother who had been taken into custody. On the one hand, Xiang Botong hates his younger brother. For the sake of his future future, he deliberately asked him to lead his headquarters to be stationed next to the new leader of the "Flying Dragon Army", Huang Haihuang Twelve Masters, hoping that he could behave in front of the Twelve Masters, and he could be familiar with the worst of them, which would be of great benefit to his future in the "Flying Dragon Army" in the future. But what Xiang Botong never expected was that this kid would turn a deaf ear to his thousands of instructions. Not only did he fail to show his talent in front of the Twelfth Master, but he was as greedy and lustful as ever, and after drinking a few sips of "cat urine", he didn't know that the sky was high and the earth was thick, and he actually ran to the prisoner camp to rob the woman - coincidentally, the prisoner detention point where Xiang Bo Yuan went was far away from the detention point that Xiang Botong was patrolling at the time, so the short-term chaos caused by the former robbing the woman did not attract the attention of the latter, otherwise, Xiang Botong would never allow his brother to act so arbitrarily.

Moreover, the girl who snatched from Xiang Boyuan is a strong character, and she is resistant to Xiang Boyuan. Xiang Boyuan, who was, naturally wouldn't stop there, so he wanted to come to a "bully with a hard bow" to forcibly take possession, and that girl naturally resisted desperately. In this way, the sound is naturally a bit loud. Coincidentally, at this time, the only cronie sentry who was arranged by Xiang Boyuan to watch the wind outside was still asleep, not only failed to find the Yellow Sea who was patrolling the sentry post as soon as possible, but it was precisely because he dozed off on the sentry post that caused Huang Hai's dissatisfaction, so he came over to teach him a lesson, and then heard the movement in the room behind him and found out that Xiang Boyuan violated military discipline. ,

On the other hand, as his closest relative in this world, Xiang Botong attaches great importance to and takes care of his younger brother. In particular, Xiang Botong is thirty-five years old this year, and he has married several wives and concubines over the years, but he has not been able to give birth to a son and a half daughter, and now he has pinned all his hopes for the succession of the family to this younger brother who is nearly fifteen years younger than himself.

In the middle of this year, Xiang Broadcom had already told his younger brother about the next family business, and he originally planned to get married after the New Year. But now that this incident has happened, according to the military regulations of the "Flying Dragon Army", his younger brother will be beaten with 80 military sticks at the lightest this time, dismissed from his military position, and served five years in prison in a hard labor camp. Not to mention whether the woman will withdraw from the marriage because of this, it is only a matter of whether her brother will live to serve his sentence in a hard labor camp - after all, he was not beaten to death with a military stick without being tortured before.

Even if they survive the baton, the tortured person will be greatly injured. In this respect, the soldiers of the "Flying Dragon Army" who were sentenced to serve their sentences in the hard labor camp for violating discipline were far worse than those who were captured by the "Flying Dragon Army" in all previous battles. After all, prisoners are rarely beaten before entering the camp to serve their sentences, but the soldiers of the "Flying Dragon Army" violate discipline and are inevitably beaten with military sticks, and no one can hide from them.

What's more, eighty military sticks and five years in prison are the minimum punishments. Now the three companies led by him are still in a state of combat, and at this time, violating military discipline is a crime of one degree, and the possibility of his younger brother being beheaded is still quite large. In that case, Xiang Jia is afraid that he will be extinct, which is absolutely unacceptable to Xiang Botong.

After pondering for a long time, after a fierce ideological struggle and careful weighing of the pros and cons, Xiang Botong finally made a decision. He nodded to one of his own soldiers and ordered: "You go and call the two deputy company commanders, the main and deputy platoon commanders of the first and third platoons, and the deputy platoon commanders of the second platoon, and say that there is something important to discuss with them."
