Chapter 409 The world is getting worse, and people's hearts are not ancient

When Wu San and Geng Hui walked into the main hall in shackles, they were shocked by the scene in front of them, because they clearly saw the prince and Qin Shu. After rubbing their eyes, they realized that they were not dreaming and hurriedly

Bow down to the ground.

After looking up and down at their conditions, Li Chengqian nodded. Magistrate Liu really didn't lie. These bastards really didn't have any injuries on their bodies. Are they really used to killing people?

So, grabbing the horsewhip on the case, Li Chengqian walked down with a sullen face. While whipping Wu San and others, he cursed: "You can do it, you can just live a good life, the night is dark and the wind is high."

You are playing murder, right? Your hands are itchy, or you think your neck is sharper than a steel knife. In other words, you think that since you are from the royal army, you can do whatever you want when you return to the place.

!”

Li Chengqian's whips hit his flesh, but Wu San and others just lowered their heads, knelt on the ground, did not hide or speak, and looked like they were going to fight to the end, allowing themselves to be whipped by their commander.

"Okay, I have the guts, Qin Huaiyu, they are all your soldiers, you ask yourself." Although the attitude on the surface was unyielding, in his heart, Li Chengqian was still pleased with the toughness of these guys. It's me.

The soldiers held the sword on their necks without even frowning, and insisted on getting it.

Hey, Qin Huaiyu, of course why was he so angry? The prince invested a lot of energy in the Six Rates and vowed to refine them into the best elite of the Tang Army. He spent countless manpower, financial and material resources on this. He even comforted and motivated the soldiers.

He concentrated on fighting and built a new city in Hu County specifically to house the widows of his fallen brothers.

The old academics in the court and the Ministry of Revenue have long complained about it. They think that the prince's spending so much is just a waste of time. Qiu Ba is Qiu Ba. No matter how good the treatment is for them, don't point out that they can do better.

Once there, they should be allowed to go to the streets to beg for food instead of farming the land as before. And the case these people are committing now is to echo their statement, and at the same time, it is also a slap in the prince's face.

"You guys, let me tell you what you are good at. Aren't there rules for six rates? Even if you retire, there will be someone to take care of any difficulties in life. Why do you do this? Isn't this making things difficult for His Highness?"

"To tell you the truth, the victim is related to the local military government, and you attacked and killed the family members of officials as civilians. Originally, His Majesty intended to leave it to the Ministry of Punishment to handle the matter.

But in order to prevent you from being wronged, His Highness did not hesitate to bear the suspicion and went to His Majesty to beg you. Don’t you know what kind of temper he has?

That is something that would rather break than bend. Even His Majesty cannot hit a single word of "please" with a stick. With such a commander-in-chief, what else do you want from them? Ah, do you still want to insist on not saying anything?"

Although Wu San and the others are all illiterate and reckless men, they have served in the Sixth Army for many years. They know very well what they are like as commanders. The prince is indeed as the general said, and he does not ask for help in everything. Today, he will not hesitate to ask for help for them.

The emperor rushed here regardless of fatigue.

Most of those who are loyal are butchers, and most of those who are unfaithful are scholars. The prince regards their lives as trivial and so precious. How can such a great favor not make these Qiu Ba, who are looked down upon by ordinary people, cry bitterly?

Seeing them in shackles and kowtowing to himself, Li Chengqian felt really uncomfortable. He said in a deep voice: "I asked you to return home so that you can enjoy this peaceful life. But Gu never thought that after you returned home,

Such a thing happened, hey, I’m so lonely..."

The six-rate military system is an all-member recruitment system. Soldiers need to serve in the army for a long time. If they follow the original regulations of the court, they must have gray hair before they can take off their military uniforms and return home.

Li Chengqian couldn't bear to let these soldiers who shed blood and sacrifice with him spend their whole lives there, so he specially stipulated that all soldiers who served for a certain period of time should return home early. After fighting for so many years, they should be allowed to live as mothers and children.

Hot days on the kangtang.

"Your Highness, please stop talking. It's all the fault of the humble position. It's the humble position that has brought shame on you."

"Yes, Your Highness, it's all lowly positions that have made things difficult for you, you'd better kill us!"

"Your Highness, the humble ministers and others will be Liu Lv's people in life, and will be Liu Lv's ghosts in death. Please let Liu Lv's brothers send us on our way. In the next life, the humble ministers and others will still fight against the Turks with you."...

Looking at these boys begging for death, Qin Huaiyu is the bigger one. You said you are not even afraid of death. Why is it so difficult to explain the reason?

So, Wu San kicked the leader and cursed: "What nonsense are you talking about? Your Highness wants to know the reason. They are all men who urinate standing up. They are not afraid of death. Are you still afraid of telling the truth?

If you use the people to kill an official, not only will you be killed, but your family members, old and young, will also be exiled for three thousand miles. Even if you are not afraid of death, what will they do? Have you ever thought about it?"

Qin Huaiyu's words struck a sore point for several people. Geng Hui and the other four people kept hitting the ground with their hands, their faces full of regret. They originally thought they were repenting for what they had done.

But at this moment, Wu San, who had not moved, stood up and told everyone with an angry look why they were not afraid of hurting their family. It turned out that since the six-rate system was changed to a recruitment system, they only have two soldiers every year.

The ten-day holiday allows you to reunite with your relatives. Some people give up this benefit in order to get more military pay to supplement their family income. This is the case for Wu San and others.

In order to ensure that the land in the homes of servicemen would not become barren, the local county government organized manpower to cultivate it, and those who helped cultivate the land would also receive a certain amount of tax exemptions. This was originally a good thing that benefited both parties.

But the bad thing is here. Due to the insufficient population in Chang'an County, it can only organize local non-members and idle people to help farm. They come and go for a long time. These ruffians are interested in the wives of these soldiers and their generous military pay.

Robbery requires beheading. There were such examples in Guanzhong before, so this time they changed their methods to achieve their shameless goals. They used cheap rouge, gouache and other items, in the name of comforting the military families, and frequently

These women came into contact, and slowly they fell into the trap that had been arranged.

These women have all grown up with their backs turned to the earth. When have they ever seen so many sugar-coated bullets and sweet words? In order to give themselves a generous remarriage fund.

These scheming women secretly gave their family's military pay to these lovers, and sold their land to landlords at low prices. After they succeeded, they even proposed divorce, which made their parents-in-law paralyzed or even to death.

, those children who are left unattended are reduced to beggars with no one to take care of them.

The most hateful thing is that Wu San's mother-in-law not only surrendered to herself, but also gave her daughter, who had just grown hair, to the local Mr. Liang. The reason was very simple, because Mr. Liang's brother was a clerk in the Duwei Mansion and was a criminal.

"Guan'er". The girl couldn't bear the humiliation and hung herself from a beam. Finally, her body was thrown into the wilderness and allowed to be eaten by wild dogs and crows. It was really horrible to watch.

These are all what Wu San and others heard from their neighbors after they returned to their hometown. Moreover, the gangsters bribed the Chang'an County Magistrate to end the union, and the land was bought in black and white.

So after these big-headed soldiers returned to their hometowns, not only did they lose their homes, but their land, which was their lifeblood, was legally seized. This is why they killed so many people.

"General, when the Northern Expedition was victorious, my daughter-in-law went to comfort the army, and you even ate the eggs she peeled. But now, I can't even find her bones. I can't find them. Ugh.

..."

Wu San's words made Qin Huaiyu's throat seem to be blocked by something. In anger, he broke the armrests of the chair and kept breathing heavily. Thinking about it, if it were in his place, he would definitely be worse than these.

Guys play bigger and play harder.
