Chapter 1077 The military law is greater than the sky
Situ Liangyu raised his hand and waved it, then wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, looked at Chu Huan, and asked, "The people in the barracks teasing the women of the people and harming human lives, do you care?"
When Chu Huan heard this, he frowned and thought that Pei Ji was very strict in governing the army. He had formulated many military laws since the first day of the founding of the army, and made every soldier familiar with the military laws. He said that someone under Pei Ji's command teased a civilian girl and killed people's lives. Chu Huan really didn't believe it. But seeing Situ Liangyu's expression was grim and his words were calm, he couldn't help but disbelieve it.
At this time, a young young man in his early twenties came from behind, about the same age as Chu Huan. He held a wooden stick in his hand and glared at Chu Huan, saying sternly: "It's all you stupid officials, please pay my wife's lives..." He was about to rush up, but Situ Liangyu grabbed him and said in a deep voice: "There are faults and the debts are the masters, don't be anxious."
With the sound of horse hooves, Qi Hong and others followed behind and turned over and dismounted. Qi Hong saw a group of people gathered in front of the camp gate, frowned, pressed the handle of the knife, went forward, and said respectfully: "Sir!"
When Situ Liangyu heard this, he snorted coldly and said, "It turns out that he is an official."
"Bold, this is the Governor, how dare you speak out?" Qi Hong shouted immediately.
Chu Huan waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Pei is not here, who is responsible for the military camp now?"
"Report to Master Pei, when Mr. Pei left, he had made proper arrangements. Fenglin Volcano Fourth Camp, Fenglin Second Camp, today Fenglin Second Camp was training sword techniques in the camp, while Volcano Second Camp was out to train the marching with loads." Yang Laoba immediately replied: "Volcano Second Camp set out early in the morning, and not long ago, he had returned to the camp."
Chu Huan nodded, and without asking any more questions, he walked to the camp gate. Seeing the soldiers still facing forward with guns, Qi Hong said sternly: "Governor is here, don't you open the camp gate yet!"
Many of the soldiers inside were organized by the Guards. They knew Chu Huan and had already come forward and opened the camp gate. Chu Huan glanced at the soldiers and said in a deep voice: "Don't you just take the gun?"
The soldiers knew that the person in front of them was the governor, so they dared not disobey. They immediately put away the gun. Chu Huan turned around and asked Situ Liangyu not far away: "Do you know the murderer?"
"Natural Knowledge."
"Okay, if you come in at the important barracks, it will be inconvenient. Situ Liangyu, do you and the victim's family dare to come in?"
Situ Liangyu smiled coldly, and without saying a word, he entered the camp gate and said, "Since you dare to come, you are not afraid of death."
Chu Huan smiled faintly and ordered: "Go and find the commander of the Second Volcano Camp."
The soldiers immediately went to pass the governor's order, but just a moment later, several generals wearing armor quickly came. The commanders of the four battalions were talented people selected by Pei Ji from the guards. During the training period, these four people were temporarily led by one battalion.
The four commanders visited together, and Chu Huan said coldly: "Where are the commanders of Huoziying and Shanziying?"
The two generals stood up and took two steps forward. Chu Huan asked, "There are people outside the camp who shouted for justice. Do you hear it?"
"Everyone has heard it." The two of them said in unison.
"Why ignore it?"
"After the words of the master, we immediately summoned the soldiers in the camp and asked who was bold and reckless, but no one stood up." The commander of the Shanzi Camp replied: "The two men are investigating. These people are blocking the gate of the camp. We are not good at arguing with them. We wanted to wait for Lord Pei to come back before dealing with them."
Chu Huan nodded slightly, and the two commanders' methods of handling the situation were not wrong. He ordered: "You two gathered all the soldiers in the camp. Since they dare not recognize them themselves, I will ask someone to recognize them." He said to Situ Liangyu: "Since you know the murderer, please follow me to recognize them now. As long as your grievances are true, I will naturally give you an explanation."
On the Imperial Guard Camp, the soldiers from the Second Volcano Battalion were arranged in the array. Chu Huan saw the soldiers lined up with their bodies straight. Although they were in a bad mood, he secretly praised them and thought that Pei Ji was in charge of the army. It was indeed extraordinary. In just a short time, these new recruits were already in good shape.
Chu Huan looked at the soldiers of the Second Volcano Battalion, then asked, "Have you all arrived?"
"Everyone has been arrived, and there is no shortage of one person."
Chu Huan nodded, waved to Situ Liangyu and the victim's family to come over, and said, "The soldiers are all here, you go and recognize people now."
Situ Liangyu sneered: "I have recognized it."
"Oh?" Chu Huan asked, "Who is it?"
Situ Liangyu raised his hand and pointed, "I know the big black man in the second row, who turned into ashes."
The commander of the Shanzi Camp changed slightly, but he had already said sternly: "Deng Guozhong, don't get out yet!"
The big black man saw Situ Liangyu's face had changed color. The commander of Shanzi Camp shouted loudly, and he could only come out with a tough bullet. Situ Liangyu said again: "There are three people who have done evil, and he is the leader."
"There are two more, who are you? Get out of here?" Chu Huan said sternly.
Soon, the two of them walked out of the formation, both lowered their heads and did not dare to look up. The commander of Shanzi Camp had a blue face and bowed to Chu Huan, "Sir, these three people are all leaders of Beishi. Today, under the order of Lord Pei, Shanzi Camp went out to take a heavy hiking. At noon, they rested on the spot for a short while. These three people were listed as scouts by Beishi to patrol the situation nearby. This was Mr. Pei's instructions. Every time they march, they should send scouts to explore the road ahead. After stationing in the camp, they should also send scouts to explore the situation nearby."
Chu Huan didn't say much, and turned to Situ Liangyu and asked, "What's the situation when you say that the three of them teased the people's daughters and killed people's lives? They were scouts, how could they enter your village?"
Situ Liangyu stretched his neck and said loudly: "These three people arrived in our village today. Most of the men in the village went to farm in the fields. There were not many people in the village. These three people went to the village to find water to drink. After entering Zheng Laohan's house, I thought they were just drinking water, and they were officers and soldiers, and would not do anything wrong... Who knew that I soon heard a scream from the room. I knew something was wrong, so I ran over and saw these three people pulling a cart Zheng Laohan's wife...!"
"My father was seriously ill and lay on the bed. When he heard the movement, he came out to see that the three of them teased my wife and argued with them, but they were pushed down. My father was seriously ill and could not withstand their push. He fell to the ground at that time." The young man who almost attacked Chu Huan just now said.
Situ Liangyu nodded and said, "This is what I saw with my own eyes. I asked someone to go to find a male man and go into the house to argue with them..." He raised his hand and pointed at the big black man Deng Guozhong and said, "This person said I was meddling in other people's business and kicked me hard..." Situ Liangyu covered his lower abdomen, as if the pain began to start to hurt again, "After I fell to the ground, the three of them probably knew that things were not good, so they didn't dare to stay, so they ran away at that time."
The young man's eyes were red and swollen, "My father was seriously ill, and after that fall, he became even worse. My wife was teased by these beasts and couldn't think of it for a moment and had committed suicide..."
Chu Huan asked, "What's your name?"
"Zheng Xiaohan!"
"Okay, I will give you justice." Chu Huan turned to Deng Guozhong and the other two and asked, "What they said is the truth?"
Deng Guozhong and the other two were shocked and looked at each other. Deng Guozhong gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, they were slandering people. The three of us were ordered to investigate. We were indeed passing by their village. They were thirsty at the time and they really wanted a sip of water to drink. The woman was enthusiastic and gave us water to drink. After we drank the water, we were about to leave, but we were stopped by the woman and said that we had drunk the water from her house and wanted to leave the water money. The three of us were very angry at the time and argued with her, who knew that the woman was pouring it.
It was very spicy. He pulled us and didn't let us leave without leaving money... The old man in their family came to stop us from leaving when he heard the dispute. The scene was a little messy. It was a small mistake to push the old man down. It was not intentional. Later...!" He pointed to Situ Liangyu and said, "Later, this man came over and helped them stop us, so we accidentally... accidentally hurt him. Even if he teases the girl and kills people, they will speak nonsense and swear."
After Deng Guozhong said this, the other two immediately raised their heads and said, "That's it. They asked for money and didn't let us go, so they pulled each other together."
"You...you nonsense." Zheng Xiaohan's eyes were red, as if he wanted to eat people. "You beasts have caused my family to be destroyed. Until now, I still have to turn the tables... My wife is very virtuous. Not to mention drinking water, she would not charge you a penny even if she gave you a meal. You..." He was furious and his whole body was trembling because of his anger.
At this moment, he heard the movement not far away. Chu Huan turned his head and looked at him. He saw a man limping towards this side, followed by several soldiers, and behind the soldiers, he followed the group of people. It was Pei Ji who received the news and rushed back.
Pei Ji's face looked very bad. When he saw Chu Huan, he walked over and said, "Mr. Pei, something happened in the army."
Pei Ji nodded, Chu Huan roughly said what had just happened. Pei Ji had already bowed deeply to Zheng Xiaohan, then bowed to Situ Liangyu, and finally gave another bow to the people.
There was silence all over the place.
"It was because of my poor military management that caused such a tragedy." Pei Ji said sadly: "All the elders and fellow villagers, Deng Guozhong and the other two teased the girl, causing him to commit suicide, and even beat the people. This is all my fault. I apologize to you here..."
Deng Guozhong hurriedly said, "Mr. Pei, we are all wronged."
Pei Ji glanced at the three of them coldly and said mockingly: "A random speech, do you think others are as stupid as you? If your words are spread, will anyone really believe them?"
Chu Huan sighed and asked, "Mr. Pei, according to military law, how should we deal with these three people?"
"Should be killed!"
Chu Huan waved his hand, "Then push them down and kill them!"
"Sir, we are wronged!" The three of them shouted in unison. The commander of the Shanzi Camp had waved and asked someone to take down the three of them. Seeing this, the three of them knew that they could not escape and died. Deng Guozhong was the first to turn his head and run to the camp gate. Several guards from Qi Hong's side had already stopped him. Deng Guozhong ran over, and Qi Hong had already raised his kick and kicked Deng Guozhong over to the ground. Several soldiers from behind came forward and held Deng Guozhong and the other two.
Pei Ji said coldly: "Deng Guozhong and the other two harmed the people, and immediately beheaded. The commander of Shanzi Camp was incompetent and led the troops without any reason. He removed the commander from his post and was punished with thirty rods!"
Deng Guozhong and the other two were dragged down and executed immediately. The commander of the Shanzi Camp was willing to be punished. Hundreds of soldiers were shocked when they saw this scene. Most of them were soldiers. The first time they saw the order to kill soldiers, they realized that the lame man was indeed very powerful. Even if the commander of the Shanzi Camp was not strictly controlled, he would be dismissed from office and even blamed for being beaten by a stick.
"You all listen." Pei Ji said to the soldiers in a deep voice: "The Governor ordered the new Imperial Guard to be built, not to let you harm the people, but to let you eliminate bandits and protect the safety of the people. I will say it again today. You all remember clearly that the knife of the Xiguan Imperial Guard must not be aimed at the common people. If anyone violates this, he will make great contributions to the heavens and will not be punished." He glanced at the soldiers and his voice was slow and powerful: "I am not scary, but the military law... is very scary. As a soldier, I ask you to remember that military law is greater than that of the heavens!"
