The closer he got to Chang'an, the more severe the military law that Yun Chu implemented in the caravan, and of course, the main target of punishment was the old thieves in Guanzhong.

Seeing that Peng Tianzhu, the old thief of Heifeng Ridge in Shaohua Mountain, was executed in public with cold gentleness and his corpse was thrown into the wilderness, the hearts of the rest of the old thieves who were so obsessed with money suddenly became cold.

They couldn't figure it out, but they killed a fan when they were competing for a beauty in Huazhou last night, and Peng Tianzhu didn't lose money, and as a result, it became a cause of killing when he arrived at the county honor.

They looked at the county order of Chang'an County to kill gently.

Yun Chu was looking at them, and every old thief could feel Yun Chu's gaze like inspecting the flock, which was like an awl, and the sting hurt.

Everyone immediately understood that Yun Chu mingled with them in the Western Regions, and he still lived and died together, but in fact, it was all an illusion, and they needed to work hard, and after returning to Guanzhong, after all, there were different officials and bandits.

That night, the three old thieves of Qinling abandoned the money they were about to get their hands on, and only took their blades and war horses to prepare to leave quietly, and many years of experience as thieves told them that if they didn't leave now, they could only be dead.

They met Liang Ying shortly after they stepped out of the caravan circle.

The old thief Huo Poison laughed miserably: "Isn't the young general going to give us a way to live?" ”

Liang Ying shook his head and said: "When you were in the Western Regions, the prince asked you if you wanted to continue to stay in the Western Regions, but you refused."

"So we can't live now, can we?"

Liang Ying said: "Abide by the rules, you can still live." ”

"Whose rules are you keeping, and what kind of rules? Prince's? ”

Liang Ying said: "The thieves of the Tang Dynasty, in foreign lands, are generally called righteous people, but in China, they can only be thieves." ”

Huo Yan looked at the two Dong brothers beside him and silently pulled out their knives, they used to follow Yun Chu to the Western Regions to make a fortune because they believed in Yun Chu, thinking that Yun Chu was a very righteous person, until this moment, he reluctantly understood one thing, an official is an official, a thief, a thief.

The sound of a strong crossbow sounded in the darkness, and Huo Wei raised his horizontal knife and pointed at Liang Yingdao: "The old man has been a thief all his life, and he can't be a good citizen." ”

Gentleness came out of the darkness, looked at Huo Yao and said: "Do you think that if you scatter your wives and children in Chang'an County and Wannian County, we stupid officials and masters can't do anything about you, right?" ”

Chopho's face trembled a few times, he stuck the horizontal knife on the ground, rode on his horse and said to Gentle: "Understood, if I die, they can live, right?" ”，

Gentle smile: "Huo Poison, how many innocent people you have killed in your life, you know in your heart, you should know, this Skynet is restored and not leaked, if you die in the Western Regions, or stay in the Western Regions, we should not know, as long as they are monitored for a few years, they do not show any bad deeds, we will completely let them go and let them live a normal life." ”

Now, you want to run away with a thief's heart?

"Didn't you come to the prince's army voluntarily to protect the safety of your family? Don't wrap yourself up as a deceived righteous man, and to tell you the truth, you crime-ridden thief don't deserve it. ”

Cho Poison got off the horse, and said with his hands behind his back: "The official word is two-mouthed, whatever you say is right." ”

Gentle said: "In the past, the government did not take good care of the people, and you ran to be thieves when you had no way to live, to tell the truth, I think it can be forgiven, and now, the counties around Chang'an have undergone earth-shaking changes, not to mention rich, and they have been able to eat enough, at this time you are still unrepentant, even if you kill you, you are not wronged." ”

Huo Poison said: "If I die, let my family go?" ”

Gentle smile, "That's why we'll wait until you've left the caravan.

Now, you have two choices, one is to go to the Wannian County Prison to find the cell boss Yan Jiu, honestly state your evil deeds, and according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, see if the money you earn is enough to atone for your sins.

Second, if you commit suicide now, we will hand over your body to your family, saying that you died while defending the caravan.

In addition, if you are lucky enough to survive, you will have to be cautious for the rest of your life, and it is very likely that you will be punished for several crimes for spitting on the street, and finally beheaded in public.

"Peng Tianzhu died because of this, and the prince and I hate people who are disrespectful."

Huo Yu thought for a moment and said, "Can you let me go back to the caravan and read out the kindness of the prince to the old brothers, so that we can go to the Wannian County prison together to report." ”

Gentle smile: "Very good." ”

Liang Ying looked at the three of them and turned back, hesitated and said to Gentle: "Why do I think we are robbing them?" ”

Gentlely: "It's not that the sins are over, the sins they once committed don't exist. ”

The main duty of the government is to punish the wicked and protect the good, and they are special people who are changing from the wicked to the good, and in this process, it is natural to pay a certain price.

"Otherwise, just like the prince said, killing people and setting fire to the gold belt, building bridges and repairing roads without corpses is disrespectful to heaven and earth."

Liang Ying followed Wen Rou back to the camp, muttering as she walked, "I still think this is a premeditated robbery." ”

Gently looked back at Liang Ying and said, "The money they contributed is to be distributed to the victims."

"What if the victim doesn't forgive them and won't take the money?"

"They're going to lose a lot of money."

"If people don't want money, they just don't forgive these old thieves?"

Gently spread his hands and said: "Then there is no way, it can only show that these old thieves did too brutal things back then, as an official, they naturally want to uphold justice for the good, and cut off the old thief." ”

"Anyway, no matter what we do, we won't lose, will we?"

Gently reined in the war horse, looked at Liang Ying and said in surprise: "We are the government." , how can it be a loss? ”

The world belongs to the emperor and ours, so ah, we are the adjudicators, how can we lose money in the face of the adjudicated? “，”

Liang Ying begged: "This is all learned in the Guozi Prison? County Zun, can you help me plead with the prince, don't send me to the Guozi invigilation examination Jinshi. ”

Gently raised his hand and slapped Liang Ying's helmet and said, "This is good for you, don't know what to do." ”

The two returned to the camp with the soldiers and horses, Yun Chu had not slept yet, he was lighting a candle and looking at the thick paper, the water on the small stove was already boiling, and it was blistering, Liang Ying saw that the water temperature was just right, so he made a cup of green tea for Yun Chu, as for him and Wen Rou, he just needed a cup of sweet tea to moisten the bitter mouth.

Yun Chu's gaze moved away from the paper, turned to look at Wen Chuan and said gently, "Is the matter settled?" ”

Gently: "The most heinous ones have basically died in the Western Regions, and those who can survive until now are some old thieves who have committed basic crimes." ”

Yun Chu waved his hand and said: "Not all thieves can be forgiven, there must be a standard, above the standard can consider sparing their lives, below the standard, don't stay." ”

Liang Ying didn't dare to speak in front of Yun Chu, but today's events didn't match the rules and regulations of his ordinary life, so he boldly said: "These people were born and died with us in the Western Regions, so it's unfair to treat them like this, right?" ”

"You put the teacup down!" Yun Chu glanced at Liang Ying and said.

Liang Ying respectfully put down the teacup, thinking that the prince had something to say, but as a result, Yun Chu raised his leg and kicked on his heart guard, and his body flew up involuntarily, and flew out of the tent for almost a foot before stopping.

Naha held a box of dried fruits and looked at Liang Ying who was still gliding on the ground in surprise, and when Liang Ying didn't move, she lifted her skirt, kicked Liang Ying's thighs and said, "It's not good to be obedient, and it makes my brother angry." ”

Liang Ying's brain was blank, and he could feel that this time Junhou was really angry, so this kick was very heavy, and the heart goggles on his chest were broken, but fortunately, Junhou gathered his strength at the last moment, so he broke the heart goggles but didn't hurt him.

"Are you really wrong?" Liang Ying muttered quietly, got up from the ground, and re-entered the tent, ready to wait for a suitable time to discuss with the prince what he was wrong.

"Don't eat dates as rice in the future, a bite of that thing is a mouthful of sugar, and eating too much sugar is not good."

Liang Ying craned her neck to take a look, and saw Naha throwing dates into the three of them's teacups.

Seeing that the prince seemed to be angry, Liang Ying carefully took his teacup and sipped the tea.

When Naha came, the prince no longer talked about any official duties, but began to talk about dates, and told Naha that if this thing was eaten without moderation, it was easy to get thirst-quenching disease, and besides, this disease was specially for lazy people, but if the amount of activity in a day was not enough, it would be life-threatening.

"I'm homesick, and I also miss my sister-in-law, Li Si, and Yun Jin, I want to pinch Yun Jin's fat face now, and I want to see if San'er looks like me."

Gentle and full of malice: "I also hope that the third child of your family looks like you." ”

Yun Chu ignored the vicious gentleness, pulled Naha to sit down and said: "Master Peeji has sent a letter, they have prepared a grand Buddhist ceremony for you, and the team to greet you is at Xianyang Bridge, blowing and blowing along the way to send you to the Great Ci'en Temple, Your Majesty is waiting for you there, ready to canonize you." ”

Naha said angrily: "I'm not a monk, Emperor Taizong's name for canonizing Master Xuanzang is Sanzang!" It's a terrible name. ”

Li Hong also wrote to me, saying that the title that his father prepared for me was 113 stupid!

"I don't want such an ugly name, I just go home and don't go to the Great Mercy and Grace Temple, and I don't want to be a master of the three fools."

Listening to Naha's words, Yun Chu's face began to twitch violently, and Gentleness was about to laugh too much.

As for Liang Ying, who had just been beaten, under Naha's intimidating eyes, he wanted to laugh very much, but he didn't dare to laugh, but his body was disobedient, his face was expressionless, and the heart goggles that were broken into two pieces on his chest clicked and rubbed, which was like laughter.

"You dare to laugh at me for being stupid?"

Enraged, Naha lifted the box containing the dates and smashed them on Liang Ying's helmet, with great force, the dates flew wildly, and the box was pierced by the spikes on the helmet and hung on his neck.
