Long Yuandong said coldly: "You don't accept it? It seems that you still don't know what your mistake is! I still think that you are guilty of not to death! Let me tell you, if you rob the people of a cow today, and I don't come to punish you, your subordinates will intensify their efforts, robbing the people of two or three cows, and even robbing houses, money, and women! When the people of the whole world hate us, our dragon armor army will come to an end! You say, do you deserve to die?!"

The people urged in unison: "Please General Long to judge!"

Long Yuandong's eyes suddenly turned blood-red, and he shouted: "Cut it for me!"

He Dali's legs were parted, the tiger's eyes were wide, and he stopped the two executing giant axemen and confronted Long Yuandong in the air.

More than 100 soldiers of the Dragon Armor Army knelt on the ground and interceded for Xin Peng and Han Chao: "General!

Yun Tianjia watched coldly from the side for a long time, knowing that Long Yuandong actually didn't want to kill Xin Peng and Han Chao, but the situation forced him, he stood in the position of the army commander, and he really had no other choice.

Long Yuandong insisted on killing, and He vigorously insisted on protecting.

Yun Tianjia knew that He Dali was the most simple person, and he always ignored one thing. If he wants to protect people, he will definitely protect them to the end, not to mention turning his face with Long Yuandong, even if he turns his face with the whole dragon armor army, he will do it.

Today's situation, if it is allowed to develop like this, will not end in the end.

You can't cut it all together, right?

Yun Tianjia paced out and said indifferently: "Fat man, what are you doing here? Dare to defy military law? And you, stand up for me!"

Long Yuandong secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "What did Deputy Army Commander Yun say?"

He called Yun Tianjia's military position to show his stance on official affairs. Yun Tianjia's role in the Dragon Armor Army is more like a political commissar who also leads the military, although Long Yuandong is a military commander, he is willing to listen to Yun Tianjia's opinion on many things.

Yun Tianjia said unhurriedly: "Xin Peng and Han Chao's mistake is that they hammered and killed Uncle Zhao's cattle without permission. This mistake directly led to the tragedy that followed. Now Uncle Zhao is bringing people to seek justice. I think, of course, the first is to demand compensation for the loss of the cattle, the second is to ask for an explanation for the deceased, and the third is to punish the cattle killers so as to get rid of the evil breath in their hearts. Uncle Zhao, am I right?"

Old man Zhao saw that he was right, and it was difficult to figure out for a moment whether he wanted to exonerate Xin Peng and Han Chao, or whether he wanted to fight for more benefits for himself, so he said: "Niu...... The cow has already paid for it......"

As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen people behind him immediately exchanged heads to discuss, roughly meaning, although the cattle were paid, the number was too small, only enough to buy dead cattle, not enough to buy live cattle.

"Uncle Zhao and the elders ask us for justice, and we naturally have to respond one by one and honor one by one. ”

Yun Tianjia glanced at the audience, and suddenly said solemnly: "But it is one thing to be fair to Uncle Zhao, and it is another thing to be disciplined by the Ming Zheng Longjia Army, and the two should not be confused." Military discipline is an internal affair of the armed forces, and there is its own military law to follow, and we welcome everyone to come and watch, but we will never allow anyone to take the opportunity to interfere. I think that how to punish Xin Peng and Han Chao must not be cut off, and should be carefully discussed. Cutting down Xin Peng and Han Chao is just a breath of relief for Uncle Zhao, what should we do with the dead cows? What should we do with the dead? The key is to solve the problem. Uncle Zhao, do you think so?"

The people kneeling on the ground whispered, all worried that Yun Tianjia would gently spare the murderer in the name of military discipline.

Old man Zhao hesitated and said, "But listen to the adults!"

Yun Tianjia nodded, and said: "The market price of a white buffalo is about fifty gold soul coins, and two heads are one hundred, Xin Peng and Han Chao hammered and killed two cows without authorization, and they should be punished ten times, Xin Peng has already paid twenty before, and I need to pay you another 980 gold soul coins." Uncle Zhao, what do you think?"

The people exploded all at once, and this huge amount of compensation was really a bit unexpected.

Old man Zhao stammered: "Many, many!"

Yun Tianjia said: "Uncle Zhao's beloved son died in righteous indignation, like a slap in the face, which completely alerted the Longjia Army to attach importance to the relationship between the military and the people, and for the Longjia Army, it cannot but be said that it has merit and contribution." Therefore, I think it is appropriate to posthumously present him as a martyr. ”

Old man Zhao fell to the ground and cried, and said, "Lord Xie posthumously!" looked back at the corpse lying on the ground: "My son, if you die as a martyr, you can also be blinded." ”

Although the status of the cow in the peasant family is very important, but a good young man committed suicide by throwing himself into the river because of the death of the cow, it is not very good to say, and the neighbors will inevitably talk about the deceased, or blame him for his suicide, or blame him for his unfilial piety. Yun Tianjia posthumously presented the deceased as a martyr, which is equivalent to justifying his name, which can just block the mouth of the neighborhood.

When Old Man Zhao heard this treatment, his heart was really touched.

Yun Tianjia said calmly: "The pension for an ordinary soldier of the Dragon Armor Army who died in battle is five hundred gold soul coins, plus the compensation of the cattle in front, a total of 1,480 gold soul coins, chief of staff, you will personally prepare the money later and give it to Uncle Zhao." This money will be deducted from the military salaries of Xin Peng and Han Chao in the future. ”

Dugu Wen's waist secretly rejoiced: "Obey!"

The compensation promised by Yun Tianjia is enough for an ordinary family for a lifetime, although it is a bit much, but the crisis that can be resolved with money is not a crisis. Xin Peng and Han Chao's two lives were finally saved.

Old man Zhao and a group of residents who complained were overjoyed, and the resentment of being forced to sell cattle and the sadness of the deceased relatives unconsciously diluted a lot, and they all kowtowed together to praise kindness.

Yun Tianjia didn't dodge or dodge, he accepted it calmly, and said: "As for the third punishment of the murderer, there has always been a rule of nine cuts and fifty-four lashes in our army. I thought that the hammer man and the bull tamer should be punished with 500 lashes, and the victim's family would personally carry out the execution. Uncle Zhao, you can do it yourself, or you can ask your family to do it for you. If Xin Peng and Han Chao died when they received 300 or 400 lashes, it would also be their fate, no wonder you. If Xin Peng and Han Chao hadn't been killed, you wouldn't have any more resentment in the future, otherwise it would have wasted my mediation efforts. ”

The whipping in the army does not allow the soldiers to use their soul power to resist.

Yun Tianjia deliberately did not point this out, firstly, Uncle Zhao and the others were not soul masters, so they might not understand the difference, and secondly, he also wanted to observe whether Xin Peng and Han Chao were honest. If they are honest, he can punish them lightly later, and if they are not honest, then let them taste it again.

He Dali was overjoyed and said, "Commander Yun's punishment is the fairest. Under the whipping, life and death depend on life. ”

He knew that although the five hundred lashes were also very cruel and difficult, for Xin Peng and Han Chao, the two sixth-order peak earth attribute soul masters with rough skin and thick flesh, even if they didn't use their soul power to resist, they would definitely not be killed, not to mention that it was ordinary civilians who were executed.

As long as Xin Peng and Han Chao don't die, what does it matter if they suffer a little bit of flesh and skin?
