Chapter 17: Missing the deadline?
Hearing that the hundred generals said that they would be punished for "the crime of default", Heifu was shocked at that time!
How dare he kill me!?
But then he heard the hundred generals add: "Twenty! ”
Ha, it's a board, not a missed cut? Heifu was stunned.
The county guards laughed and rubbed their hands, picked up the bamboo planks on the side, and prepared to beat Heifu.
Heifu closed his eyes, he was weighing the pros and cons, since he was playing the board twenty times, was he unwilling to be humiliated and rose up to resist? Or bear it silently, and the gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late?
However, at this moment, I heard another footstep in the distance, followed by a loud shout: "Stop! ”
When Heifu opened his eyes, he saw a young military officer dressed as a hundred generals trotting over with a few people, and shouted to the county guards who were about to make a move: "What is this doing! Don't stop yet! ”
"Chen Baijiang, what do you mean by this?" The officer who ordered to take down Heifu said coldly.
"I should ask the guest generals about this." The military official known as "General Chen Bai" is not tall, with a mustache under his chin, and his body is not as imposing as the officer, but he does not show weakness at all.
He pointed to the two of them and said, "General Bin Bai, what crime have these two committed?" To be flogged? ”
Bin Bai said angrily: "If you miss the deadline, you should be punished." ”
Chen Baijiang laughed: "No, according to the "Law of Resignation", conscription, change of duty, one to five days of loss; If you miss the deadline for six to ten days, you will be fined one guilder; If the deadline is lost for more than 10 days, two fines will be imposed. These two people are a few hours late, at most they can be scolded in public, which law stipulates that they should be beaten with twenty boards? ”
"This ......," Bin Bai will be speechless for a moment.
Chen Baijiang got closer and said with a smile: "Besides, I heard that this black man and Ji Ying met the bandits on the road, captured them, and then assisted in the trial of the case in the county prison, so they came late." The county lieutenant personally told me that he would be allowed to report again tomorrow...... Bin Baijiang, you don't ask the reason to take it down, do you want to be angry for the Huyang Pavilion chief who broke the law and became a ghost? I heard that he is your cousin's brother! ”
Bin Bai will be exposed and stunned: "Chen Baijiang, you and I are colleagues, don't want to accuse me!" I directly obeyed the orders of the county lieutenant, how do I know what kind of order the county lieutenant ordered? ”
"I see." Chen Baijiang sighed meaningfully: "Since it is a misunderstanding, then please let people go!" ”
Seeing that Chen Baijiang sacrificed the law and couldn't beat it, General Bin Bai glared at Heifu, waved his hand, asked his subordinates to let go of him, and then left a sentence in Heifu's ear: "Little vertical, you are lucky today!" And he departed angrily.
Heifu stood up, rubbed his sore arm, stared at the figure of General Bin Bai for a long time, and then saluted to the mustachioed Chen Baijiang: "Thank you for saving me!" ”
Ji Ying was also shocked on the side, and said: "If it weren't for the hundred generals to stop it, we would only be afraid of breaking a leg." ”
"It doesn't stop there."
Chen Baijiang was polite, but he received a big gift from the two of them, and then looked Heifu up and down, and exclaimed: "The rumors of the past few days are really true, he is tall and healthy, he can beat several people, and now he has become a public warrior because of his merits, which is good!" Anlu County has another strong man! ”
"The official praised it falsely, the villain's meager merit and the courage of the husband are not worth mentioning."
Heifu asked cautiously again: "The official just said that this Bin Bai General is a relative of the Huyang Pavilion Chief?" ”
"Isn't it......" Chen Baijiang said meaningfully: "Bin Bai will be the son-in-law of the county left lieutenant, and Huyang Pavilion Changzhen is the nephew of the county left lieutenant. ”
Heifu suddenly realized, it turns out that there is still this relationship, no wonder in the county prison today, the merchant couldn't resist the pressure and helped the pavilion chief commit perjury.
After that, Chen Baijiang pointed at Heifu and smiled: "So in the next month, you should be careful, be cautious in your words and deeds, don't make mistakes, if you are really held by him, I can't protect you......"
"Thank you for mentioning the hundred generals, Heifu will not forget the grace of the hundred generals."
Heifu made another gesture with interest, and Chen Baijiang accepted their salute calmly, nodded, and said with a smile: "It's good if you understand......"
……
Chen Bai will ask the county guards around him to take the two black husbands to the place where the two pawns live, and along the way, Ji Ying sighed, saying that this was almost the second time he was beaten today, and it was twenty strokes, but fortunately he was rescued, otherwise his ass would have bloomed.
Heifu seemed to be thoughtful, in addition to thinking about what happened just now, he muttered in a low voice: "It turns out that the punishment for missing the service period has not been saved before death." What about the missed deadline? Is there something wrong? Or have I been deceived by history textbooks again......"
He couldn't figure it out for a while, so he put it aside, at this time, Ji Ying had already given full play to his ability to talk a lot, and he was close to the county guard who led the way.
It turned out that the county pawn was also from Zhuanshui Township, named "Zhao", and said that it was a county pawn, but in fact, except for the Ge in his hand and the armor on his body, he was no different from the black man. Because he was a fellow villager, he didn't walk a few steps, and he chatted with Ji Ying in the dialect of Zhuanshui Township, and by the time he was halfway through, the two were already quite familiar.
Heifu saw it in his eyes, secretly surprised, this Ji Ying, but he has some communication skills, so he pulled Ji Ying over and whispered a few words to him, Ji Ying knew it.
"Brother Zhao." When he was about to arrive at the residence, Ji Ying suddenly asked: "Chen Baijiang and Bin Baijiang, are they not harmonious?" ”
Zhao smiled: "Didn't you see it just now, it's a clear thing!" General Bin Bai was originally a public soldier, and he fought on the battlefield with the county left lieutenant, and his meritorious service on the battlefield was slowly rising. Chen Baijiang inherited his father's title, he did not change when he was just an adult, and he was born as a disciple of the school, and was promoted by the county right lieutenant and directly entered the army as an official. Since the first day of working together, the two of them have not been able to sit down for a long time, and we have seen a lot of similar things. ”
Heifu nodded silently after listening, no wonder Chen Baijiang talked about the law and decrees one by one, it turned out to be the "school", that is, the cadre training class of the Qin State.
In this way, he saved himself to make Bing Baijiang unhappy? It's too sincere, if it's you, you must watch it more on the side first, wait for the board to hit your body, and then come out to stop, so that you can not only impeach Bin Baijiang for indiscriminate use of punishment, even if you can't get him removed, you can also eat some fines disgusting and disgusting opponents. In addition, it can make the two Heifu hate Bin Baijiang even more, and be more grateful to Chen Baijiang, which is like killing two birds with one stone......
Heifu suddenly felt that compared with the simple people of this era, modern people are really black-bellied, of course, Zhao Gao, Li Si and other outstanding people he dare not compare.
But I heard Ji Ying ask again: "The right lieutenant of the county and the left lieutenant of the county, are they not compatible!?" ”
was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly denied it.
"I didn't say this, the two county lieutenants look kind and ...... on weekdays."
He then looked to his left and right with some suspicion, only a team of patrolling county guards with blades passed by at a distance. When they were far away, they said in a low voice: "But now the orders of the two county lieutenants are often sent to their own hundred generals, and they don't even know each other, but they have suffered our pawns, and we don't know who to listen to......"
When Heifu heard this, the two leaders of the Anlu County Public Security Bureau were afraid that they would not be harmonious.
He had already guessed that the reason why Chen Baijiang saved the two of them was not to enforce the law impartially like Dr. Xi, but to have his own purpose, that is, to make Bin Baijiang unhappy, and at the same time to let Heifu, a "strong man" who had just become famous in the county, be grateful to him.
Dig deeper, this also involves the open and secret battle between the two lieutenants of Anlu County!
It seems that not only is the follow-up of the Huyang Pavilion Chief's case not finished, but he was also accidentally involved in a more troublesome "political struggle......
Although the deputy director of public security is not a big official, he is also the fourth-in-command of Anlu County, and he can make Heifu walk around without eating with any move of his fingers. Even if the county lieutenant was not good enough to deal with him personally because of public opinion and the law, he could let General Bin Bai find an excuse to make things difficult for Heifu.
"It seems that this month's service period is even more difficult than I imagined."
Heifu shook his head helplessly, secretly lamenting that he had a bad fate, so he won the lawsuit and got into trouble again.
At this time, a slight light rain suddenly fell from the sky, and after all the trouble, he stopped, pointed to a row of low and dilapidated houses in front of him, and said to them, "The abode of the guards has arrived!" Wait for yourselves to pass, and the one on the far left is! ”
……
PS: The discovery of Yunmeng Qin Jian's "The Law" has made the direct cause of Chen Shengwu's Guangze Township Uprising "Lost in time, and the law is all beheaded" has been questioned.
First, during the second reign of Qin, Zhao Gao had "changed the law", and in this revision, the punishment for missing the time limit was changed to beheading.
The second is that Chen Sheng and Wu Guang escorted soldiers who went to the frontier to garrison, which belonged to military conscription, and was no longer an ordinary conscription, and they needed to act in accordance with military law. In Nanjun in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, there was a case of a barbarian monarch evading military service and being beheaded. Of course, even if they want to kill their heads, only the two county lieutenants and Chen Wu will die, and the rest of the people cannot be executed.
