To Cheng Dalei, many people in Toad City actually come from far away. Speaking of which, the first group of people who came out of Qingniu Mountain were naturally closer to each other. They all crawled out from the pile of dead people. They joined later.
Yes, the relationship is slightly more distant, and some people have never even met Cheng Dalei in person.
He has more than 30,000 elite soldiers, as well as many civil and military officials, many of whom Cheng Dalei knows. But Cheng Dalei really knows about Sun Xiaomao.
He is not very young. He was only seventeen or eighteen years old when he followed Cheng Dalei. He has grown into a man in the past few years. He is an ancestral bandit. His parents and grandfather were both bandits. His father died in Qingniu Mountain with the Rong tribe.
During the battle.
Cheng Dalei slowly loosened his clenched fists, and then let out a long sigh, feeling that this matter was not easy to handle.
He is young and vigorous, fighting with all his strength, and playing with women here after breaking the city is nothing. But he did violate the military discipline set by Cheng Dalei and harassed the female family members, and he will be executed immediately.
It is also beneficial to kill him. Let the people of Liangzhou City see that the leader obeys the law and loves the people like his own son. In this way, he can gain a lot of hearts.
The problem is, Cheng Dalei doesn't think much of this matter. Most of his subordinates are bandits and desperate desperadoes. Although Cheng Dalei manages the army strictly and trains them to obey orders and prohibitions, it is difficult to place too many demands on them in terms of morality.
After all, after the city was broken, even Cheng Dalei had a flawless beauty like Cui Baiyu, and people like Zhang Fei, Gao Feibao, etc. also participated in dividing the spoils. Of course, a small soldier like Sun Xiaomao would not have his share, but he couldn't.
oppressive rule.
Kill him to win people's hearts. Or let him go for the sake of his dead father.
Cheng Dalei suddenly felt embarrassed. He was not a saint in this world, and he had the ambition to help the world. His own concept of good and evil was actually very vague. How could he convince the public and appease the people of Liangzhou without killing him?
Cheng Dalei let out a long sigh and suddenly realized that he had become like a hero and had to make a certain choice between people's hearts and friendship.
Su Ying stretched out her hand, smoothed his frown, and said, "Is it difficult to handle?"
Cheng Dalei smiled bitterly and nodded slightly.
"I have a way, but I don't know whether to say it or not." Su Ying.
Cheng Dalei coughed: "There are no outsiders here. You and I are not outsiders either. There is nothing we can't say."
Su Ying said slowly: "If you find it difficult to handle, just pretend you don't know about this matter and let Wu Yong be the evil person, and it won't damage your brotherhood."
Cheng Dalei held Su Ying's wrist and said: "I just haven't decided what to do, whether to kill or not to kill. But if I decide to kill, this evil person can't let others do it for me."
Su Ying pursed her lower lip, patted the back of Cheng Dalei's hand, and said, "I said the wrong thing."
Cheng Dalei's dilemma was not whether to be such a bad person, but because he couldn't get over this problem in his heart. Sun Xiaomao could be killed if he made a mistake this time, but what if the one who made the mistake was Gao Feihu, Gao Feibao or Xu Shenji? Look at these people
He is really not a good person when dealing with others, and it is not uncommon for him to do such nasty things. Will he still be willing to kill him when the time comes...
Of course they are very important to him, and they share a bond of life and death. But the woman who was ruined is also very important to her family.
Although the soldiers in Cheng Dalei's hands are fierce, they are not kind-hearted people. Sun Xiaomao's matter can be dealt with more slowly, but the problem of the quality of the soldiers must be solved.
Cheng Dalei picked up the pen on the table and wrote down two words.
Training.
The pen moves the dragon and the snake, still like a ghost drawing a talisman, but Su Ying has already understood the murderous intention in it.
Someone outside informed Wu Yong that he wanted to see him. None of the civil and military personnel under Cheng Dalei were allowed to enter the backyard of the city lord's mansion without permission. This was the reason why Zhang Fei asked Audrina to come over to intercede.
Cheng Dalei saw Wu Yong in the study. The boy was very embarrassed, with disheveled hair and bruises on his face.
"What happened to make this happen?" Cheng Dalei was in a bad mood and spoke with a straight face.
"Well... General Zhang wanted to snatch Sun Xiaomao away, and I contradicted him a few words. That's how it went."
"What?" Cheng Dalei's eyelids twitched and he said with a gloomy face, "Take me to have a look."
Zhang Fei wanted to protect Sun Xiaomao, and Wu Yong wanted to kill him. Now that Sun Xiaomao was being held in the prison of the city lord's palace, Zhang Fei still thought it would be safer to be imprisoned in his own camp. Wu Yong, who was responsible, naturally refused.
, so the two sides started to take action.
Cheng Dalei rushed to the prison angrily, his mood was extremely bad. It was not just because of Zhang Fei's nonsense, but some other things.
The power of Toad City is getting bigger and bigger, and it is no longer like the days when there was no tomorrow. And the contradiction between generals and civil servants has become more and more obvious. Zhang Fei dared to do this, and he may not have the intention of taking credit for himself. But Wu Yong did it
The fact that he was in such an embarrassing state was not necessarily caused by Zhang Fei. He could not have deliberately dressed up to look pitiful to arouse his own anger.
It's all based on the human heart, it's all calculations, it's all... fucking bastards.
The City Lord's Mansion was not far from the prison. Cheng Dalei arrived within a few steps and saw that the lobby was like a pot of porridge.
Several generals and some civil servants were having a heated argument.
"Where were you when I was fighting to the death? You didn't die in the hands of the enemy, but you died in the hands of your own brothers. That's the truth."
A group of reckless men were shouting in confusion. They were all bloody men with loud voices, especially Zhang Fei among them, who was murderous and majestic.
Suddenly, all the sounds disappeared and the lobby became very quiet. Someone had already spotted Cheng Dalei at the door, his head hanging down and trembling.
Cheng Dalei's eyes swept over him coldly, then he clapped his hands gently: "So majestic and murderous. Does General Zhang want to kill people here?"
Zhang Fei was excited and said: "I don't dare."
Cheng Dalei walked through the crowd and sat down behind the desk. He looked at the scene in the hall. The military commander knew he had made a mistake and lowered his head in silence. The civil servants thought they had a backer and raised their chests and heads. Even Wu Yong's lips curled up.
Take half a minute.
Cheng Dalei's hand has been raised and he doesn't know how to put it down. If the punishment is too severe, it will increase the arrogance of the civil servants. If the punishment is too light, it will make Zhang Fei and others even more serious.
They all need to be calculated and measured.
A deep feeling of fatigue welled up from the bottom of his heart. Cheng Dalei raised his hand and waved weakly: "Let's go, let's go."
The fist was raised high and lowered gently. Zhang Fei and others looked at each other, but they also noticed Cheng Dalei's unhappiness and stepped back wisely.
Wu Yong and others were also at a loss as to whether Cheng Dalei was really afraid of the power of the generals and did not even give him a harsh word.
Cheng Dalei was the only one sitting on the chair. There were many people around him, but he seemed to be alone.
