Chapter 512: Teach a lesson
There are all kinds of inequality in this world, and there are obviously many injustices in this hierarchical capital. Here, the value of the existence of people with low status and humble status seems to be just the gadgets of the rich and noble, punching bags, shields, and scapegoats.
Huo Fei's play made those who were hiding and peeking at them couldn't help but open the windows and open the doors to watch. He seemed to enjoy the sensation of being noticed, would she be frightened by him, or moved, or overwhelmed?
"Immortal ......" Cheng Haofeng called Hu Xianxian who was glaring at Huo Fei angrily, if she was difficult to deal with, he would help her block things.
She annoyed the succession of things and was a little confused, and she didn't want to face them. But she is a person who doesn't want to cause trouble, but she is not afraid of it either. She took Cheng Haofeng's hand and signaled that he could take the trick himself.
I was so angry that I calmed down. Hu Xianxian's ice eyes lit up with spring waves, and his cherry lips smiled lightly: "Poor Dao doesn't understand rewards and punishments, may I ask General Huo how to deal with them?" They don't listen to military orders and attack with their own hands, is this a big crime on the battlefield? β
"Those who disobey military orders should be beheaded, and those who do not act according to orders should be beheaded." Huo Fei raised his eyebrows and answered, saying in his heart I don't believe that this little woman of yours really dares to kill my subordinates.
"May I ask General Huo, did they disobey the military order? Is it not doing what is ordered? If it were another woman, she would really be stunned to fight and kill, but Hu Xianxian is not "another woman". She just asked Huo Fei, her words and demeanor were innocent, as if she really didn't understand before asking.
Huo Fei's face froze, he thought that if he wanted her to deal with these two people, she would generously say that it had nothing to do with these two people and let them go. Even if it wasn't, it should be difficult to hide behind Cheng Haofeng. Otherwise, just beat and scold these two people a few times. How could she be so slow to ask questions, and still ask him every word?
"They ......" Huo Fei was dizzy when asked, and thought for a while before answering: "I didn't give the order to release arrows last night, and they shot arrows at you, which should be regarded as not acting according to military orders......"
"Oh, what did General Huo say to do with them?" Hu Xianxian shrugged his shoulders and said softly and skillfully. It's like saying that you don't have to take two lives, but you have to throw two salted fish. Of course, she could say it lightly, because she was just asking rhetorically, and she didn't mean to do anything about these two people without connecting the context.
But the people who listened to their conversation thought that Hu Xianxian meant that since you agreed that those two people should be dealt with by military law, then you should behead them according to military law. She just deliberately wanted them to misunderstand and see how Huo Fei lifted a stone to shoot himself in the foot.
The two soldiers turned pale and kept asking for mercy, only saying that the scene was chaotic, and they thought that there was really a dryad who wanted to harm people, so they released arrows to save the Savior. They begged Huo Fei, Hu Xianxian, and those onlookers.
Lu Kaizun thought that with his own face, he could persuade both sides with kind words and persuasion, and he could come up with a "settlement of grievances, not a settlement", so that they would not have any more trouble. Who knew that before the reconciliation banquet began, there were branches again.
He looked at Cheng Haofeng worriedly, looked at the two soldiers sympathetically, and then patted Cheng Haofeng on the shoulder and looked at Hu Xianxian and said, "Brother Cheng, it's better to persuade ......."
"Not necessarily." Cheng Haofeng knew that he was going to persuade Hu Xianxian to spare those two people, and Cheng Haofeng knew that she would not kill them.
Lu Kaizun turned his head with some disappointment, and Cheng Haofeng whispered: "Brother Lu, don't worry, since you are the east, you will not be embarrassed." He smiled. He thought of Hu Xianxian's fleshy little feet, which really didn't match her slightly cold-blooded and slightly skinny appearance at this time.
The weather is not cold in October, but the atmosphere in the Haitian Pavilion is as if it is frozen. Huo Fei has a national character face and long knife eyebrows, not handsome, but he is very brave and heroic. At this time, he lost half of his heroism, he only felt that he had never had a nest.
He took these two people to hand them over to Hu Xianxian to dispose of, but he just wanted to show his own generosity, and he wanted to have a low posture first, and then he could talk about things later before he could put on a high profile.
His calculation is: For the sake of you, not only do I not care about you falling off my horse, but I also handed over my own subordinates to you to dispose of, don't you Hu Xianxian have to be grateful and worship me? You Hu Xianxian took the initiative to express a good impression of me, don't I just do whatever I want?
Huo Fei didn't expect that his wishful thinking would become a trap dug for himself. The onlookers were all talking, Hu Xianxian didn't care about those discussions, but he couldn't help it.
"These young people are really getting more and more disagreeable, they used to be a daughter to buy laughter, but now they are buying laughter with human life. Hmph, one day I'll have to put my life on the pink skeleton! β
"Be quiet, it's rare to come to Haitian Pavilion to enjoy the food, don't get into trouble. Alas, that girl is really ruthless......"
"Two lives can't just be so inexplicable, right?"
"If a person is cheap, he will be cheap, and he will be as cheap as an ant."
"General Huo won't be able to kill those two people, he himself is full of words. If you don't kill, then you will lose your trust in people, or you will lose your trust in women......"
Huo Fei narrowed his eyes slightly and gave his entourage a fierce look, and the two soldiers stopped begging for mercy and closed their eyes in resignation.
The snow bright knife flashed, and only the crowd burst into exclamations, but no head fell to the ground! The red snow whisks the dust and rolls up the cold wind, and the silk rises to more than two feet long, sweeping away the treasure knife that is about to cut the neck!
"When did I say I was going to kill them?" They were stunned, Hu Xianxian calmly collected the dust, and asked Huo Fei with the dust that had changed back to its usual size.
"Didn't you say that if you don't follow military orders on the battlefield, you should do what you want?" Huo Fei asked her in shame, he let the woman play tricks in public, he was so angry that he couldn't think.
"General Huo, it's what you said about the way to deal with it, not what I said. They could testify against me, I was just curious to ask a few questions about military law. β
Hu Xianxian pointed to Lu Kaizun, Lu Laizun, Ye Guanying and many onlookers, as if he really wanted them to testify for her. Lu Kaizun thought that she would really kill people to vent his anger, but he was disappointed in her conduct, but knowing that she actually had such a move, he increased his admiration a little. Therefore, he testified very seriously that she had indeed not said that she would behead those two. As soon as he spoke, the others chimed in.
"You mean I'm going to chop the two of them for fun? She asked how it was on the battlefield, didn't she have the intention to hook me and answer that? Huo Fei's face changed between red and black.
He is a smart person, he shouldn't be so easy for people to talk about, he only blames himself for mistaking Hu Xianxian from the beginning and being less guarded.
General Huo was furious. I know Miss Hu for a long time, and I know her personality well, she just likes to make some jokes. Last night's incident was not on the battlefield, and General Huo thought about the problem seriously. Ye Guanying can be regarded as his brother-in-law, he still has to give a few thin noodles, so he won't talk to them more, but let his entourage untie the ropes of the two soldiers.
"Count your fate, get out!" Huo Fei roared like thunder, venting all his anger in the roar.
"Slow", Hu Xianxian called the two of them, they both trembled when they heard it, and she smiled: "I won't do anything to you, I just ask you to stay and ask about some rules in the army." β
I don't know what kind of medicine Hu Xianxian sold in the gourd, she looked at her suspiciously, she said to Huo Fei slowly: "They are not at fault, but you are at fault, I don't know how General Huo should punish himself?" β
"Self-...... Punish? Ben, general, army, have, what, fault, wrong, need, want, self, punishment? Huo Fei gritted his teeth and asked.
"Dare to ask the general, is it a fault to transfer the army privately?" Hu Xianxian quietly winked at the two soldiers as she asked, and they nodded softly, knowing that she was asking the right question.
"Of course, you can't transfer the army privately, General Ben just heard that his friend was in trouble and went to help, and he didn't bring troops to fight privately." Huo Fei said for a while, and spoke a little calmer.
"It's not wrong to hear that a friend is in trouble and help him, but you can go yourself. You can bring your family and call your relatives and friends, why did you take the army with you? "Hu Xianxian doesn't understand military law, and he didn't want to debate military law with him, but he just wanted to make him embarrassed.
Wang Shuai saw that Huo Fei was confused by Hu Xianxian's question, so he helped: "That's his own guard, and it's not the army of Jingwaizhou County, why can't he bring it to help his friends?" β
This tone is a good help, but Hu Xianxian doesn't match this tone at all, she put aside Wang Shuai's question, forced Huo Fei to look at him and said, "They are your own guards, but they are also soldiers of the forbidden army." They have a military position, they are paid, and it is their duty to protect you, but they are not obligated to protect your friends! They are soldiers who defend their home and country, not pugs who listen to your call and drink! β
She said a little impassionedly, and there were voices of admiration among the onlookers, and some people who dared to speak out talked about all kinds of chaos in Beijing.
"Yes, not to mention that the soldiers have become the minions of those people's own people, or the military chariots and horses, etc., which has not become their own things?"
"Hmph, eating the salaries of the imperial court and doing the private affairs of the officers, the officers have saved all the wages for the slaves."
"Shhhhh Don't say more, beware of anger coming to us. β
If the previous atmosphere was that the Haitian Pavilion seemed to be frozen, the atmosphere now is like the Haitian Pavilion being thrown into a frying panβan oil pan that is about to burst into flames.
Cheng Haofeng shook the hand he was holding with Hu Xianxian, and said to everyone with a salty attitude: "How can she know anything about the army?" It's always so naughty, which makes you laugh. β
"Where is it just naughty, is it ......" Kuai Twelve sat bored in the room, so he answered, and after taking over the conversation, he felt that the scene in front of him was very wrong, and said with a crooked mouth: "Huh? You asked Master Lu to make an appointment with us, saying that you were coming to apologize to us and make amends, why did it turn around and become a lesson for us? β
Hu Xianxian and Cheng Haofeng looked at each other and smiled, and Lu Kaizun, Lu Laizun, and Ye Guanying also pursed their lips and snickered.
"Even if General Huo doesn't act properly, is it right that you hurt people for no reason? Your brother is in the army, can we think that you rely on your brother to dare to do wrong? Wang Shuai is much calmer than the shallow and conceited Kuo Twelve and the arrogant and conceited Huo Fei, he is secretly threatening her brother.
