Chapter 555: The Ghost King Protects the Short
The temperature in the room seemed to be a little scorching, and at this time, Xia Qianwei really wanted to drive out this man who had stirred her up and down early in the morning.
At this moment, a picturesque and anxious voice came from outside the door.
"County Lord, it's not good! General he ......"
When she pushed the door in, when she saw Mu Longyuan guarding the couch, she was stunned for a moment, her expression stiffened, and she immediately apologized in panic again and again, "The slave should die!" The slave and maid are gone! ”
Who would have thought that at dawn he would see His Royal Highness the King of Youwang in his own young lady's room, it is difficult not to wonder if they were in the same room last night, but the first thought that flashed through the picture's mind was, should he not be killed if he broke the good deeds of the prince?
She looked like she was going to run away, Xia Qianwei immediately called her, she wanted to say something that was not what you imagined, but when the words came to her mouth, it became, "What did you say about your father?" ”
This voice made the panicked maid sober up a lot in an instant, she suppressed the panic and turned around cautiously, "Back to the county lord, the old lady received news from the camp, saying that the general was tortured by General Wei......"
Wei Hongjie's torture of Xia Yihai?
The new official took office with three fires, and this Wei Hongjie naturally wanted to show off his might as soon as he got the military power, but he didn't expect to pick Xia Yihai, who was cautious!
Mu Longyuan raised his eyebrows coldly, he turned his head and glanced at Xia Qianwei deeply, "You don't have to meddle in the affairs of the barracks." ”
Leaving such a sentence, the noble man had already lifted his sleeves and strode away, Xia Qianwei looked at his back for a long time, and was already thinking about the powerful relationship of this matter in her heart.
"Lord Wang, this morning General Wei inspected the training ground and found a few jars of wine in the camp, and then arrested the drunken Vice General Cao from his mansion, intending to behead and kill chickens and monkeys in public!"
Qi guards quickly inquired about the whole story, military discipline strictly prohibits drinking, but does not restrain the words and deeds of the generals and soldiers after leaving the barracks, but the bad thing is that this deputy general Cao happened to be on duty last night, he not only drank alcohol but also left his post without permission and returned to his house to rest, it is simply a crime against the wind, knowing the law and breaking the law, and the crime is added to the first degree!
However, as far as Mu Longyuan knew, this Vice General Cao had followed Xia Yihai for many years and had never made such a mistake.
Of course, if someone shelters this matter, it will be a small punishment for Vice General Cao, but it will fall into the hands of Wei Hongjie.
Whether it is his fake public or personal benefit, or-for-tat, Wei Hongjie, who has always been strict in governing the army, will definitely not be tongue-in-cheek when he spreads it out in such a way of killing one by one.
When Mu Longyuan arrived, there was a solemn atmosphere on the training ground.
I saw that on the torture rack on the side, Xia Yihai and Deputy General Cao were hanging there with their hands and feet tied, and the whip stained with salt water was thrown at them fiercely, and the blood red was shocking.
The soldiers on the side all had tense expressions, and watched in great torment as the general, who was deeply loved by them, gradually opened their skin.
Wei Hongjie stood in front of him with an awe-inspiring and righteous body, he noticed Mu Longyuan coming from a distance and a team of Yan Youjun behind him, and a cold light immediately sank in his eyes, and then he stepped forward without humility.
"See His Royal Highness the Ghost King!"
"General Wei is busy?"
When Mu Longyuan said this, there seemed to be a smile on his face, but a string had already tightened in everyone's hearts.
Everyone knows that General Xia is the future father-in-law of His Royal Highness King You, and he doesn't look at the face of the monk and the face of the Buddha, but he is afraid that only Wei Hongjie dares to do such a thing in the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty!
Wei Hongjie glanced at Vice General Cao without changing his face, "The last general is enforcing military law and maintaining military discipline. Cao Geng committed a major crime and should have been punished on the spot, but General Xia interceded for him, thinking that he was the first offender, and the last general allowed each of them a hundred lashes to set an example! ”
After finishing speaking, he turned his words and seemed to chuckle, "But as long as the prince says a word, the last general can also be lightly dismissed." ”
What Wei Hongjie wanted to say was that he had given Mu Longyuan enough face, and it was because of Xia Yihai's relationship that he made an exception to Rao Cao's deputy general not to die, and as long as King Youwang personally spoke, he could still make a big deal small.
However, a hundred whips, any master has to take off a layer of skin!
The atmosphere around them changed suddenly, as if a danger was spreading.
His Royal Highness Youwang, who has always been known for being unkind, if he really opened this mouth for Xia Yihai, he would inevitably be used by someone with a heart.
Even if the Chinese military officials secretly blamed King You, his prestige in the army never wavered, not only because of the invincible Yan Youjun, but also because he almost ruthlessly demanded that his subordinates abide by military discipline, and rewards and punishments were clear without exception!
Once this favoritism is done, it will definitely disappoint the soldiers of Chenguo, and the loss is immeasurable!
Mu Longyuan knew this, and now that Wei Hongjie wanted to compete with him for a place, the military spirit he had lost would be easily won over by him, and his heart would be vicious.
"The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people! The last general teaches that there is no way to be punished, and he is willing to have no complaints! At this time, Xia Yihai, who had been clenching his teeth, looked firmly in the direction of Mu Longyuan, and the whip never stopped at this moment, but there was no cowardice on his face.
"Good! General Xia is brave and fearless, and he is really a model for our Chen country warriors! Wei Hongjie laughed, and as soon as the words fell, the executing soldier increased his strength, and the long whip broke through the air fiercely, making a frightening friction and collision sound.
Seeing that the faces of the two men on the torture rack were gradually pale, Wei Hongjie glanced at Mu Longyuan next to him, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was even worse, "There are still fifty lashes, and the two generals have to hold on." ”
Mu Longyuan looked at this scene calmly, without the slightest annoyance on his face, at this moment, everyone saw that the whip in the soldier's hand suddenly cracked and threw it away, everyone's faces changed, and an idea rose in their hearts.
Even the whip is cracked, which shows that this person is really ruthless!
Soon, the new whip was handed over, and no one noticed that Xia Yihai's eyes seemed to have a trace of doubt, he secretly glanced at Mu Longyuan, but the young and noble man looked unconcerned.
"General Qiyu, a hundred lashes have been exhausted!"
Wei Hongjie raised his eyebrows, looking at Xia Yihai, whose breath was still stable on the torture rack, he couldn't help but snort coldly.
You must know that when Vice General Cao next to him was put down, his body was already paralyzed to the ground, and Xia Yihai actually had the strength to stand, so he really underestimated him.
"I hope that the two generals will remember today's lesson, and don't do it again, otherwise, this general will never be merciful next time!"
Leaving such a sentence, Wei Hongjie saluted Mu Longyuan before leading his people away.
"General! Checkmate! Quick, call the medic! ”
Everyone rushed up, and Xia Yihai was carefully supported, but he took the lead in ordering someone to inspect Deputy General Cao's injuries.
Cao Geng's eyes were filled with tears, and his chapped and bloody lips trembled slightly, "It's the last general who has affected the general, but the last general has been wronged!" ”
Treat unjustly?
It turned out that Cao Geng was not on duty last night, he remembered it clearly, it happened that his youngest daughter was scheduled to get married a few days ago, so he was invited to drink, who knew that when he woke up, he was crowned with the crime of violating discipline and brought to the training ground!
Hearing this, Mu Longyuan had already ordered someone to bring a notepad, but it did say that the person on duty was Cao Geng.
It seems that things are not so simple......
