Before Fang Yuanlong could open his mouth, a big man asked:
"This person is Fang Yuanlong, the general banner of your hundred households?"
“Exactly!!”
The person who answered was none other than Fang Yuanlong's family.
"Catch me!!!"
After asking and answering questions, before Fang Yuanlong could react, two big men walked up to him, reached out and grabbed him, and pulled him out of the bed like a chicken and dragged him out of the door.
Fang Yuanlong was panicking, and while twisting his body desperately, he shouted: "Fang Tongzhi is my cousin, how dare you arrest me!"
Fang Yuanlong's ability to gain a foothold in Jinyiwei and his arrogance is because he is Fang Tongzhi's cousin. Usually within Jinyiwei, for Fang Tongzhi's sake, who wouldn't give him some face?
But the two big men ignored him and dragged him out, across the yard, directly to the street, and threw him to the ground.
When Fang Yuanlong raised his head, he saw a dozen horses stopping in front of him.
One of them is in the middle like stars shining against the moon. He is young and handsome, wearing the uniform of a royal guard. Even among the warriors and guards, he is a striking presence, as if he is a good young master in troubled times.
"Are you Fang Yuanlong?"
Someone asked, but before Fang Yuanlong could answer, someone else said loudly:
"Yesterday, there was a training outside the city. Fang Yuanlong hadn't arrived yet. He was punished according to the marching law. Forty military sticks and ten floggings!!"
At this point, Fang Yuanlong immediately understood that Lin Zhao, a member of the Jinyi Guards, was here. While struggling desperately, he shouted loudly: "Master Lin, please forgive me, my subordinate was on an errand yesterday and forgot to submit the report..."
"You only got up at noon yesterday, went to Xiaoyu Teahouse to drink tea, then to Qinglu Pavilion to have wine, and finally took a powder home. What a bad thing you did, fight!!"
Lin Zhao said coldly on the horse.
As soon as these words came out, Fang Yuanlong's begging for mercy stopped immediately, as if his mouth was blocked, and he couldn't say a word.
People have already caught his whereabouts so clearly, what else can he say?
At this time, two Han generals were already holding down Fang Yuanlong and looked up to see Lin Zhao giving orders.
Lin Zhao held out three fingers, which meant that the guy should lie in bed for three days before he could get out of bed.
The big Han general immediately raised his board and hit him hard.
Ever since Fang Yuanlong took up the post of General Banner of Jinyiwei, he has always been aloof and domineering in front of his neighbors.
But today, in front of his own house, in front of his neighbors, he was pushed to the ground, with his arms and tail exposed, and he was beaten hard with a paddle, and the paddle hit his flesh. The beating was really painful.
, all dignity is gone.
For more than two years, Fang Yuanlong had been drinking, having sex, and getting rich. His body had long since collapsed. He couldn't bear the pain. He immediately couldn't care anymore and shouted loudly: "Master Lin, please spare me, my cousin."
I’m also a Tongzhi. For his sake, please spare me!”
"Twenty lashings!!"
Lin Zhao said loudly.
have to!
Originally it was ten lashes, but it was changed to twenty lashes.
The neighbors around saw several guards jumping off their horses, picking up whips and lashing them over the head and face, and their expressions suddenly changed.
This time Fang Yuanlong showed his cousin's signature, but instead of giving him any face, the other party doubled the price.
It seems that this young Jinyiwei Tongzhi is really a ruthless character.
The whip was slapped on the back, causing his skin and flesh to rip open. Fang Yuanlong was beaten on the ground and screamed like a slaughtered pig. He wanted to roll around, but he was held down tightly and could only endure.
"From today on, Fang Yuanlong will be removed from the post of general banner, and he will be replaced by a strongman to see the consequences. Liu Baihu, do you remember?"
Listening to Lin Zhao's cold question on the horse, the trembling hundred households below quickly bowed their heads, while Fang Yuanlong's back was a mess of flesh and blood, and he was losing less air than inhaling.
Lin Zhao looked at this guy's appearance on the horse and shouted coldly: "Even if you carry him tomorrow, you still have to go to military training!"
After Lin Zhao finished speaking, he turned his mount and led a group of people away.
Among the onlookers, most of them were civilians, and there were also soldiers in brocade uniforms. Seeing Fang Yuanlong's tragic situation, many people secretly applauded and felt very happy in their hearts.
And when they looked at the backs of Lin Zhao and the others, they felt even more frightened in their hearts, and they no longer showed any disrespect towards him.
Lin Zhao rode through the streets of Nancheng. From time to time, he could see the scenes of soldiers in brocade uniforms with red belts wrapped around their arms taking out their colleagues who were yelling and resisting from the courtyard and throwing them to the ground. They were directly covered with forty boards and ten
After the whipping, no one could stand up. Only after the beating was done, the crying family members dared to help the person back.
Preparations had been made yesterday. As soon as the city gate opened today, everyone would arrest people according to the list, led by local indigenous people.
It has been four years since Lin Zhao came to this world and he has already planted countless spies in the capital.
He didn't even expect these spies to provide him with any top secrets. He just asked them to walk around the streets and become familiar with most of the street addresses.
That’s why we can catch everything accurately.
A total of more than 200 people were punished. Some of them did not go to Hubei yesterday, and some went too late and were locked out. Some of this group of people learned about the punishment from their colleagues who came back yesterday, and they were as anxious as
It's like an ant in a hot pot. You have to be mentally prepared for someone to come to your door. Some people don't take it seriously at all and just think they're being fooled.
Now that the military law team is coming, there is no point in panicking. Every military law team is well-trained and has a large number of people. It is easy to pack up a straw bag, so none of these people are missed. They are all put on the street and thrown on the ground.
Beat him hard on the ground.
With the stick method of the Han general, those who were beaten could get up in three days. As for the ugly skin and flesh bruises caused by the whip, in fact, it would be fine if they were treated with medicine and maintained.
It's just that these Jin Yiwei are all well-known figures on the street. They are greatly embarrassed in front of the neighbors, and the respect they had for them in the past suddenly disappeared.
Especially when they had their pants stripped off and beaten with a paddle on the street. They completely lost all face and face, and I am afraid they will be embarrassed to see others in the future. Therefore, after the beating, most of them were carried back by their family members with their heads down.
But the matter was not over yet, these people were beaten, and the family had to go to the horse and carriage business to hire a carriage.
Because the next day, they had to go to the village outside the city for training. Who dared to fall behind?
Lin Zhao only led a team of people to investigate people from more than a hundred households under the general banner. Those below the general banner would naturally be dealt with by the military law team.
There were a total of four general banners who did not go to report. After Lin Zhao finished dealing with the three general banners, the next one was a general banner named Wang. This guy went to visit relatives yesterday and drank a lot.
I was so drunk that I completely forgot about the training.
It was not difficult to find the home of Zong Qi named Cheng, but when he was about to arrive, he saw that the door of the home was crowded with people.
Before I even got close, I heard a curse coming from the other side:
"Get out of here, get out of here, who dares to see my master's excitement, be careful of us turning against each other."
The onlookers dispersed and looked around from a distance. Only then did Lin Zhao see that in Wang Zongqi's home, there was actually a man kneeling there, and he was shirtless.
Seeing Lin Zhao approaching, the shirtless man kowtowed to the ground and said, "I am arrogant and have violated military law. I am aware of my crime and hereby stand on the thorn to plead guilty."
After he finished speaking, he kowtowed repeatedly.
Lin Zhao nodded secretly.
There is someone here who knows how to be powerful.
Because this guy had been kneeling outside for a while with his shirtless body on his back, carrying a few branches on his back, and was still shaking a little in this October day, but he seemed very sincere.
This scene of asking for forgiveness was so exciting that naturally many spectators gathered around.
Since he knew how powerful he was, and he didn't want others to yell for help, Lin Zhao was willing to be merciful.
But at this moment, a horse galloped over, and a young man in white shouted loudly: "Lin Tongzhi, please save someone under the sword!"
Keep someone under the knife?
Is it so exaggerated?
Lin Zhao frowned slightly and turned his head to look.
But he saw that the white-clothed young man was approaching on horseback. He dismounted, raised his hands to Lin Zhao and said, "I'm Chen Yejun from the Xiangcheng uncle's house. This Wang Ping's aunt is my second aunt. Now I've been ordered to come over and make peace. This
Wang Ping was involved in family matters yesterday and had to forget his military training. Seeing as he has already taken the blame, please..."
"Mr. Chen, I didn't invite you here! Your Excellency, I sincerely apologize for my sins. I also ask you to punish me severely. Wang Ping will comply with all of them!"
Wang Ping looked horrified and shouted loudly.
Lin Zhao's eyes flickered, and the look he looked at Chen Yejun became serious, and the corners of his mouth seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
"Lin Tongzhi, Wang Ping didn't invite me here, but my second aunt heard the news..."
