Li Xiang cannot take the blame in a daze. Even if he wants to deal with this matter, he still has to see what these two generals mean. They will definitely have a bottom line, and they cannot exceed this bottom line when doing things.
"This matter is very simple. Let big things not be delayed and small things not cause trouble."
Cheng Yaojin pointed to the farmers in the distance. The meaning was obvious. Our army had just set off for the expedition. We cannot spread any bad news because of this incident. In addition, these farmers must be appeased.
"My subordinate understands. General, please wait for a moment, an hour at most, and then come back."
After Li Xiang finished speaking, he got on his horse and headed northwest with thirty of his guards, where the mountain village was located.
"Go back, go back. Someone is going to handle this matter for you. If you don't believe it, leave some people here to watch. I won't leave. I will leave after I handle this matter for you."
Cheng Yaojin saw that the people were still waiting here, and he also knew that these people did not believe in others, so they probably believed in themselves. After all, our reputation was relatively high among the people of Tang Dynasty.
At the beginning, not many people went back, but soon everyone discovered that Cheng Yaojin had no intention of leaving. Maybe the man just went to deal with things for them, so these people were all three or five.
Started to rush home.
When Li Xiang arrived at Kaoshan Village, he was immediately shocked by the situation in front of him. People like Li Zhi occupied the two largest houses in the village, and the rest of the village was driven out of the village. It seemed that they were the only ones who
It's like being the owner here.
"Bold, who is here? This is the temporary residence of His Highness King Jin, please dismount quickly."
The two soldiers guarding the gate were drunk and staggering around. Looking at them like this, if a thief really came, the two of them were just serving food to the thief in their current state.
"What is the crime for drinking without permission while marching?"
Li Xiang was furious when he saw the beaten people in the distance with bruised noses and swollen faces. There were also several people lying in the arms of everyone. It looked like they were seriously injured.
These are our people of the Tang Dynasty. You may not have such ability when you go to the battlefield. Instead, you just keep cloves of garlic in your own homes.
"If you join the army, you will receive thirty sticks."
"What about robbing people of their property without any reason?"
"Twenty sticks."
"Innocent people were injured."
"Thirty sticks."
"Pull it down and hit me."
The voices of Li Xiang and his men were loud and clear, and all the people around him could hear them clearly.
"Who are you? We are the soldiers of the Jin Dynasty. We are not ordinary people. You have opened your eyes and seen clearly. We all have official positions on our bodies. We beat the court officials for no reason. You know it is
What? It’s a capital crime.”
These two guys were very drunk, but they also knew that if they were tied up, they would definitely be beaten. Half of the drunkenness dissipated immediately. There were servants in their palace who made mistakes in the past, let alone beating them with eighty-ting sticks.
Even if it's fifty, that means half of his life has long been sacrificed in the Hall of the King of Hell.
"Ah...my highness..."
The screams started immediately. People in the room heard it just now, but no one dared to come out. The group of people outside were murderous. Now Li Xiang rode directly into the yard to see if you people can hide.
when.
"Uncle Ninth, have you finished eating? My nephew is here to pick you up and return to the team."
Although Li Xiang spoke very respectfully, he didn't make any move. He still sat on his horse and looked coldly in the direction of the door.
"I heard your voice just now. I didn't expect you to fall behind. This army is marching too fast. It's normal that we can't catch up. After all, we are different from those Qiu Ba uncles in the army. It just so happens that I am here
I've cooked a pot of tender beef soup, come in and try it quickly."
Li Zhi walked out of the house with a few guards who could still stand upright. The smell of alcohol could be smelled by people nearby. If you expect people like you to go to the front line to fight, the Tang Dynasty has already been defeated.
"My nephew won't drink beef soup. My nephew doesn't have that good taste. But does Uncle Jiu know that the cow you are eating is the farm cow of this village? The villagers have gone to the general to file a complaint against you.
The general sent me to resolve this matter."
Li Xiang is not going to be fooled by this guy, but if he wants to take a sip, it has nothing to do with us.
"Oh my god, look at what happened. How did I know that I was a farm cow? It was all done by these bastards below. Why don't you all get out of here?"
Li Zhi's acting ability is pretty good, but Li Xiang knows that this guy is just trying to enjoy himself. If it weren't for your benefit, would your men dare to slaughter cattle? This was a serious crime in the Tang Dynasty.
When everyone in the room came out, Li Xiang was really shocked. He originally thought that he, like himself, would only bring thirty guards with him, but he didn't expect that there were actually a hundred people in there.
If there are not many people, Li Xiang is a way to deal with it, but now there are hundreds of people. In addition to Li Zhi's confidants, some of them are people borrowed from Li Tai, so Li Xiang has to use
Another way to deal with it is to take this opportunity to destroy you all, so as to save you from returning to the capital to make trouble for me later.
"You guys are wrong."
The group of people were drunk. Although they were pleading guilty, there was no sign of admitting their mistake on their faces. Many of them were noble children of Chang'an City, so they felt that eating a cow was not a big deal. The law was
It is used to restrain the poor, not people like us.
"Who hit the villagers just now?"
Li Xiang had people call several villagers from a distance. Although they all ran to complain, they still did not have the courage to face these noble children head-on. They only dared to point fingers behind Li Xiang's guards.
"Hurry up, hurry up. Whoever hit the villagers just now should come forward quickly. We can go on our way after being punished."
Li Zhi knew that this matter had been brought to the two generals, and he also complained about these villagers in his heart, so now he wanted to end the matter here quickly and catch up with the two generals in front, so that he could explain himself quickly
.
Hearing what Li Zhi said, more than thirty guards reluctantly stood up.
"Pull them down and beat them, each with eighty sticks."
Li Xiang said calmly, but the people present were all frightened. This punishment of yours can kill people!
Li Zhi was also shocked. He thought that Li Xiang would be punished with a small punishment and show off to the villagers, but he didn't expect that this kid was really serious...
