Saying this, the man stopped and glanced up at Liu Xun.

Liu Xun was still patient, and said in a deep voice: "It's okay, keep talking." I'd rather see who ate the ambition leopard guts. ”

"Unexpectedly, yesterday, a team of Lujiang soldiers came to the village, led by a high-headed horse, and said that it was a senior official in the Lujiang soldiers. He came to the shop for tea. I didn't think much about it at the time, so I asked Sister Li Kui to bring tea out. Unexpectedly, the officer he... He moved his evil heart, kicked us out of the store, and let his men guard it, and he, he was in the store, and ruined his sister! ”

As soon as he said this, Li Kui couldn't hold back anymore and cried again. Li Qiu also said with tears in his eyes: "After that, my brother and sister-in-law rushed in in a hurry to rescue their daughter, but where are they the opponents of those soldiers, but they were knocked to the ground in three or two strokes, and they actually died with a whimper, and my niece couldn't stand being insulted and committed suicide." If it weren't for my mission to catch Li Kui, I'm afraid his life would be in danger.

They also wanted to kill us, but fortunately there were many people at that time, and they were afraid that things would get bigger, so they told us to shut up, and if we dared to spread the word, they would kill our whole village. Then they ran away, and the two of us were left alone. “

"Smack!" Liu Xun suddenly slapped the table, and he was already trembling with anger. Li Qiu thought that Liu Xun was angry with him, so he was so frightened that he kowtowed again and again.

Liu Xun hurriedly picked up the two of them, and said with a blushing face: "I have always asked the Lujiang soldiers to strictly abide by military discipline, but I didn't expect that such a thing would happen and cause so much harm to the people, this is my fault!" Do you know what the officer's name is? ”

Li Qiu shook his head and said, "That person never told us. All we know is that he is stationed in the city of Huiji. ”

"And if we meet again, will you recognize his appearance?"

"Recognize it even if it turns to ashes!" Li Kui gritted his teeth and cursed, and suddenly held his head in his hands again, and moaned in pain, "I want to kill him myself!" ”

Liu Xun took a deep breath, walked out of the door slowly, and suddenly shouted: "Wang Hao! ”

"The last general!"

"You go and assemble the whole camp and stand by outside the camp." Liu Xun gritted his teeth and said coldly, "Today I will definitely eradicate the scum in the Lujiang soldiers, but I don't know who this scum is yet." Whether he is a high-ranking officer with military power, or my confidant, he must be taken down and sentenced to death. ”

"If!" Wang Hao shouted.

"Good!" Liu Xun turned around and said to the two, "Please also ask you to go back to Huiji with me and identify the murderer on the spot!" ”

"Thank you, sir." Li Qiu bowed again and again

Seeing that they promised Liu Xun without saying much, they returned to the barracks with a murderous look on their faces, and Liu Xun immediately asked him to convene all the officers to discuss the matter. All the officers of the army of more than 10 commanders were present, because there were already many troops, and there were naturally many officers, and there were more than 1,000 people, all of whom stood solemnly in the tent and obeyed orders.

Liu Xun's face was gloomy, and his eyes swept over the faces of these officers one by one, but he did not speak. At this time, everyone, including everyone, felt the depression of the atmosphere and Liu Xun's anger, but no one dared to say anything.

Liu Xun suddenly became furious, pointed at them and scolded, "Do you think that if you are a hero, you can not abide by military discipline?" Those behaviors of stealing chickens and dogs and oppressing the people can not be so-so? When you didn't become a general, what did Ben Taishou tell you, do you remember? ”

The generals were startled at first, and then their faces turned red, and they replied in unison: "The last general will never dare to forget!" At that time, the lord said: The lord governs the army very strictly, and anyone who violates military discipline will be severely punished in accordance with military regulations, regardless of the generals and soldiers. As long as it is the lord's soldier, no matter who it is, as long as he violates the ban, he will never show mercy outside the law! ”

"Oh you remember!" Liu Xun sneered and said, "Maybe one of you is the one who did this case, but I hope you can get a wake-up call from this!" If you don't manage the army strictly, don't you high-ranking generals have responsibility? ”

"What the hell is this case?" The generals saw that Liu Xun was trembling with anger, and they also understood that something must have happened, so they couldn't help but ask sharply, "Which bastard who treats the enemy does not abide by military discipline and stands up by himself, causing us to lose face in front of the lord, and if it is a man, he will stand up and confess his guilt!" ”

Seeing that no one admitted it, Liu Xun laughed angrily: "Dare to do it but not dare to do it, it's really kind." Okay, Ben Taishou will find you out! ”

Saying that, he asked Wang Hao to take Li Qiu and Li Kui, and said to the two of them with a pleasant face: "Don't be afraid, identify it carefully, and see if there is that person among these people?" ”

"Lord, are they...?" Someone among the generals asked suspiciously.

Liu Xun asked Li Qiu to say it himself, so Li Qiu repeated it again with tears in his eyes. Liu Xun's eyes were already red when he heard this, and he split the handsome case in half with a knife, and roared loudly: "Okay, good! My Liu Xun's face has made you lose everything! Which beast insulted the people's daughter, disregarded people's lives, and got out of Lao Tzu! ”

There was still no one to say anything, but some people were already trembling with fear. Liu Xun asked Li Kui to come forward to identify, but Li Kui didn't hesitate at all, and directly pointed to a person in the second row, and said with joy and hatred: "It's him!" ”

When Liu Xun saw it, he almost crooked his nose. It turned out that this person was Ye Chen, a hundred generals, who was not only Liu Xun's old subordinate, but also made a lot of military exploits, so it can be said that Liu Xun was a very capable general. The last time Li Jiazhuang's incident was due to a reason, Liu Xun did not hold him too responsible. After all, it was to arrest Zhou Yu, and his torture was not excessive, after all, Li Jiazhuang harbored criminals first, and he deserved it.

Although Ye Chen is tyrannical, he is still loyal to himself. From the bottom of his heart, Liu Xun naturally hopes that he will change his shortcomings and grow into a senior general in the future. As soon as he thought of this, Liu Xun couldn't wait to shake his hand and give himself two big mouths!

"Bastard" Liu Xun grabbed Ye Chen's neck like crazy and roared, "You have a wife and children, and they are all waiting for you at home, how can you still do this pig and dog as good as a dog?" ”

Ye Chen's face was already like ashes at this time, he collapsed at Liu Xun's feet, and kept telling forgiveness: "The lord and the last general made a big mistake just because they were confused for a while, and they didn't kill people afterwards, please let the lord be gracious and spare the last general this time!" ”

Now that the matter has been figured out, Liu Xun kicked Ye Chen away with hatred, gritted his teeth and said, "Bastard, it's all at this time, don't you understand?" According to the military regulations of the Lujiang soldiers, wherever the army goes, they abuse their people, and if they force women, this is called a traitorous army, and the offender will be beheaded! Come on, take Ye Chen down for me, beat the drum and gather the whole army! ”

With Liu Xun's order, his personal guards also swarmed up, angrily stripped off Ye Chen's armor, and tied him up solidly. Liu Xun sighed, now he would rather not have Ye Chen, a general, but also eliminate harm for the people.

The officers naturally knew what "drum assembly" meant.

Suddenly, more than a dozen people suddenly knelt down together and pleaded for Ye Chen: "Lord, Ye Chen really deserves to die, but he is a brave general of the Lujiang soldiers with outstanding achievements, can you give him a chance and spare him from dying?" Heavy responsibility for a hundred military sticks, even through the ears of the camp, it is okay! At the critical moment, Ye Chen's friends stood up and pleaded.

Ye Chen also wept bitterly and kowtowed again and again: "Lord, I don't dare to ask my lord to avoid death, I just ask for my family to be kind to me for my over-the-top merits, they are innocent!" ”

Liu Xun was disturbed by their plea, and he couldn't help but soften his heart a little at this moment.

But thinking of Li Kui's painful appearance, and recalling the villagers' fearful eyes on him, Liu Xun still said in a hoarse voice: "You asked me to give him a chance, but when he raped the people's daughter and killed his parents, did he ever give others a chance?" spare him, but who will defend the victim? If you spare Ye Chen today, the same thing happens next time, will you spare it or not? If there are military exploits that can be extrajudicial and emotional, then what is the use of military discipline? And most importantly, if it was your parents, wives, sisters, or daughters who were killed, would you spare him? ”

The generals made Liu Xun's barrage of accountability speechless, and they all lowered their heads in shame.

At this time, the drums of the generals rumbled, and the soldiers in the battalion had rushed to the front of the tent like a tide, and they were neatly assembled in order. The generals hugged Liu Xun and walked up to the platform, and Liu Xun roared: "The knife and axe hand is ready, escort Ye Chen up!" Ye Chen, you can leave with peace of mind, I will send someone to take care of your family, and I will never break my word. ”

In front of the officers and men of the whole army, Liu Xun personally announced Ye Chen's guilt. The soldiers listened to the discussion, on the one hand, they were angry that Ye Chen had committed such a crime, on the other hand, Ye Chen had quite a lot of achievements in the army, and many people felt that it was a pity to kill him like this.

"Ye Chen violated military rules and should be beheaded according to the law." Without waiting for the discussion to subside, Liu Xun's face was like frost and said, "Execution!" ”

"Knock, knock, knock!"

Under the gaze of tens of thousands of eyes of the whole army, the cold light flashed, and Ye Chen suddenly turned his head in a different place!

Liu Xun enforced the law like a mountain, and beheaded Ye Chen on the spot with hundreds of people who insulted the people's daughters, which caused a great shock among the Lujiang soldiers.

Because since the founding of Lujiangbing, although there have been occasional violations of military discipline such as fights and stealing chickens and ducks from ordinary people's houses, the circumstances are not too serious, and the most important 20 military sticks will be over.

The case of Ye Chen was actually the first death penalty among the soldiers in Lujiang, and the perpetrator was a 100-person general in a high position, which naturally caused great repercussions among the officers and soldiers. There are those who clap their hands and say that they are happy, there are those who are uneasy, and there are also those who can't figure it out and feel that the punishment is too severe.

Faced with the commotion of the soldiers, Liu Xun knew that he had to untie the knots in their thoughts, otherwise it would be difficult to convince the public. So he stood up and said loudly: "Ben Taishou knows that Ye Chen was beheaded, and many of you are still unconvinced in your hearts, but you just don't dare to say it." But Ben Taishou wants to ask you, why did you join the Lujiang soldiers? And for whom? ”
