"It's just not good, Wang Dong, the so-called law has always punished the evil and not rewarded the good, that is, it only depends on how much mistake you have made, not how much credit you have made before.

In ancient times, the sages still paid attention to the fact that the prince committed the same crime as the people, and our Huaxia Army paid attention to the emperor's violation of the law, and also committed the same crime as the people.

We have just occupied Guangzhou, and there are strong enemies outside, and the people inside are hesitant, and in particular, the officers and soldiers of our army are becoming more and more slack.

Therefore, the entire Huaxia Liberation Army must cheer up from the bottom of itself, be strict with themselves, be disciplined in the army, and never let a major incident be ruined because of personal feelings.

I know that you are a little unconvinced, and think that it is too worthless to ruin your own future for the sake of an ordinary person, but it is too narrow-minded to think so, and you have forgotten the original intention of our army.

In the early days of the army, we called ourselves the Protector Army, just to learn from Yue Wumu and protect our own people; now we call it the Huaxia Guangfu Army, and it is also for the common people to overthrow the Manchu tyranny of cannibalism and not vomit their homeland.

You still accept punishment according to military law, reform well, and you will be a good man after 12 years. ”

After hearing this, Wang Dong knew that Li Xian had made up his mind, and there was no room for any more talk, so he cried and retreated, and the soldiers led him to retreat.

Li Xian turned his head and said to the deceased's wife, who had been stunned for a long time: "Wang Dong and your husband have no grievances, although they killed people after a quarrel, but it is more of a manslaughter than intentional homicide, which is also the main reason why I only sentenced him to ten years in prison, not human life."

However, the death of your husband and the lack of a way for your family to get money are also a problem

In this way, in the name of the Huaxia Liberation Army, I will send your family 200 loads of grain and 20 loads of meat, and then give you 200 taels of silver, which should be able to help your family tide over the difficulties.

Besides, when your child becomes an adult, you can let him come to me, and I will definitely find an errand for him so that your family can develop, what do you think?"

Only then did the surviving man react, and just wanted to kneel down and kowtow again, but was pulled by two female officers, and this head still couldn't be kowtowed.

"General Xie for his grace, General Xie for his grace. This woman didn't have much knowledge, but thanked Li Xian again and again.

Now the price of grain is extremely high, two hundred quintals of grain are worth four or five hundred yuan, not to mention twenty taels of meat and two hundred taels of silver, in addition to the promise to find a way for her children, which can be regarded as a matter of success even for the next generation.

Li Xian originally wanted to cut through the mess quickly, but seeing that this woman no longer forced herself to kill after being instigated by others, he relieved his heart a little, and turned to those scholars.

For these scholars, Li Xian is actually not angry in his heart, but at this time, it is difficult to be in public.

What's more, the braids of these scholars were cut off in public, no matter whether the cause was forced or voluntary, they still could no longer gain the recognition of those old stubborn people in Shilin, and their influence in Shilin would drop significantly, and it would be difficult to even continue to squeeze into Shilin, and the degree of danger would drop significantly.

In order to avenge the deceased, several scholars did not hesitate to cut off their braids and shave their hair, and petitioned according to the rules of the Chinese Liberation Army.

Our Huaxia Guangfu Army has always paid attention to righteous soldiers, and each of them was rewarded with ten pieces of ocean to reward them for their righteous deeds. Li Xian said with a smile, a soldier had already stepped forward, stuffed ten pieces of ocean in each of these scholars' hands, and pushed them out.

"Today, the case is over, the family of the deceased is satisfied, and the military discipline has been rectified, which is a great blessing.

Thinking that all the fathers and elders have a lot to do, Li Xian will send all the fathers and villagers back here, so he will not stay for dinner. Li Xian made a circle around, but he was about to drive people away.

The onlookers watched the show for a long time, but the emotional ups and downs during this period were too many and too fast, and many people have not recovered so far, and at this time they have all dispersed their thoughts about cleaning up the mess.

The case is over, but the aftermath is long, enough to make many people think about it for a long time.

"That's it, it's thunder and rain. Wang Jiuxuan has never shown up, but he has been paying attention to the progress of the trial, and he couldn't help jumping up after hearing that the matter was over like this, and he didn't know how to evaluate it.

Rao is Wang Jiuxuan is also a rare shrewd person, but Li Xian's hand is too strange, and he can't judge whether the case is good or bad for a while, and he can't tell the difference between gains and losses.

Li Xian sent everyone away, and after closing the door, several gentry got together to discuss, and some said that Li Xian's case was judged fairly, but most of them felt that they were too out-of-the-box, and they didn't care about the scholars, and they had a mixed reputation, and it was more ruined than famous.

As for the real big men in Guangzhou, Pan Shicheng of Thirteen Foreign Banks and Wu Shaorong, the head of the Wu family, got together to discuss secretly.

"Li Xian is really a hero. Pan Shicheng sighed and said.

"Wang Jiuxuan is wise and resolute, but he is a little soft and decisive internally, but he is very different from Li Xian. Wu Shaorong couldn't help but sigh.

Li Xian's judgment was quite peculiar, very different from ordinary officials, and did not meet the people's expectations of various clean officials.

According to the people's hopes, I am afraid that Li Xian would directly behead the offending officers and show them to the public, and gently comfort the families of the deceased, and then praise the scholars who demonstrated, and even invite them to the yamen to become high-ranking officials.

Like Li Xian, he spared no expense to the family of the deceased, but he completely suppressed the scholars, and openly spared the lives of the officers, which is actually not the image of a traditional Qing official, but everyone can't help Li Xian.

However, in the eyes of Pan Shicheng and other people who have been in high positions for a long time, Li Xian's actions this time turned his hands into clouds and covered his hands into rain, did not take anyone's intentions to heart, and did things according to his own will, which was completely a heroic style, but it was impossible to deal with it.

Like Wang Jiuxuan, although he is in a high position, he cherishes his feathers and attaches great importance to his reputation, which is a typical example of a gentleman who can be bullied, and can be dealt with by various means, but Li Xian, who doesn't care about anything, is the real hob meat.

What is really terrifying is that Li Xian's position is faintly half a point higher than Wang Jiuxuan, and he has always been the commander-in-chief of the rebel army.

It is not that there is no call within the army to keep the offending officers, which is also an important reason why Wang Jiuxuan has never dared to make a judgment easily, but when he came to Li Xian, he directly cut through the mess with a quick knife, and severely criticized and reorganized the middle and high-level officers afterwards, and no one dared to squeak.

At this level, Li Xian is qualified to be called the tiger that accompanies the king like a tiger.

"Some people in the city have always been dissatisfied with the Huaxia Army, and they want to operate for the imperial court, drive the Huaxia Army out, and then make a great contribution to the sky, and suddenly there are many people who are above the people.

However, these people didn't want to think about it, the six princes had such a large force, and they also colluded with the British, but they were also defeated at the hands of Li Xian and others, and they were almost captured, and they only escaped alone with the help of a few top masters.

Now, the soldiers of Guangdong have either been killed or captured, and even the troops of the surrounding provinces of Guangdong have been exhausted, and the imperial court wants to gather more than 50,000 soldiers and horses to attack, but I am afraid that it will be a year or two later.

If we don't understand this general trend and follow those who have bad intentions, I am afraid that there will be a big disaster, and we must be cautious. Pan Shicheng said.
