Gerasimovich was dragged into the yard by the soldiers of the Second Company who had long hated him. No one would pity him because he did not deserve mercy.
When Gasinski was in power, he did a lot of harm to the soldiers of the Second Company, and he was extremely evil. Everyone in the Second Company hated him, so it was natural that they could get revenge today, and they all wanted to go up and whip him twice.
That's good.
The only one who felt angry was Messadov and his group. This guy who was as fat as a dumpling was so angry that he was shaking all over. He pointed at Li Xiao's nose and covered his heart and was speechless. It looked like he was suffering from a heart attack.
It's like it's about to explode.
"Your Majesty the Grand Duke, you are too arrogant! You are too arrogant! You don't take the captain seriously! You are too..."
Messadov couldn't tell, so naturally his lackey Antonov helped him, but his "accusation" sounded so feeble, and a series of "masses" meant nothing, not even threats.
No harsh words.
Obviously, Antonov was swayed by the previous behavior of Li Xiao and the soldiers of the Second Company. Even the regimental commander dared to beat him if he disagreed with him. What else would he not dare to do? If he pissed off these guys, they would even beat him together.
what to do?
Antonov doesn't want to be beaten. After all, he is just Mesakov's lackey. He can just wave the flag and shout, and it is not a crime to send him to the countryside and be slapped. What's more, someone is just using Gerasimovich to operate, and there is no threat to him.
Mesakov did not threaten him.
Antonov didn't bother to care about the life and death of little shrimps like Gerasimovich. The person who accepted his money was Mesakov. He didn't get a dime of benefits. He could only help wave the flag and shout a few times.
Interesting enough.
Messadov wanted to take care of it but was so angry that he could not speak. Antonov did not want to take care of it at all. Naturally, Gerasimovich had no choice but to suffer. After being escorted to the center of the courtyard, he was beaten twice on the knee.
Feet, forced to kneel down in the mud.
"Andrei Konstantinovich, you bastard, you bastard, you will die!"
This man resisted more fiercely than Messadov and Antonov. After all, no one wanted to be whipped. He kept struggling, but was unable to move under the pressure of the soldiers from the second company behind him. The last thing he could do was to curse.
Li Xiao took out his ears and asked Boris calmly: "What is the crime for publicly humiliating your superiors and insulting the Grand Duke of the Empire?"
Boris was snickering in his heart, but his face remained calm: "At least fifty lashes!"
Li Xiao waved his hand and said: "Then add fifty more lashes, making a total of seventy lashes. I am always kind, so let's finish it in one go, so as not to hurt him several times!"
The kindness of ghosts. In the tradition of the Russian army, if an officer is not punished for a serious crime, it is usually fine. There is no reason to punish him in full, and he will not be punished in front of the soldiers. Generally, he will find a hiding place.
In private situations, just make random gestures and that's it.
This was good for Li Xiao. Not only was he tortured in public, but he also had to be beaten in full. It was estimated that with seventy lashes, Gerasimovich would have to lose half of his life even if he did not die. Gerasimovich was immediately frightened to death:
"Captain, you have to save me!"
"Captain, I don't want to be whipped!"
"Captain, please think of a solution quickly!"
"Andrei Konstantinovich, you bastard, I'm not done with you. If you have the guts... if you have the guts, beat me to death... I won't let you go if you are a ghost... Go to hell! You
This devil!"
Li Xiao curled his lips impatiently and ordered: "Gag his mouth, it's going to be so noisy!"
"woo woo woo woo……"
The soldiers of the Second Company unceremoniously took off their smelly socks and put them directly into Seglasimovich's mouth. The sour smell almost made him vomit out his overnight meal. Immediately after, several big men moved their hands to hold Segrasimovich down.
Simovich started to take off his clothes. After all, he wore such thick clothes in winter, and it really wouldn't hurt him if he didn't take off his clothes.
But just when they started to take off their clothes, an accident happened. After taking off Gerasimovich's military uniform, a pile of books fell out. Li Xiao and Boris's eyes suddenly lit up, while Messadov and
Antonov's eyesight went dark!
There is no way, these books are too familiar to them, aren't they the props they asked Gerasimovich to send to frame someone!
Messadov and Antonov were angry and impatient. They couldn't understand why Gerasimovich failed to succeed after struggling for a long time. Moreover, he foolishly took the evidence with him. Isn't this boring?
The fallen books were soon delivered to Li Xiao's hands. He turned over the corners of his mouth and said, "Whose Crime" and "Past and Thoughts". Haha, they are all banned books! Gerasimovi
Second Lieutenant Qi, I didn’t expect you to be so courageous!”
"Whose Crime" and "Pasts and Thoughts" are both works by Herzen, who was later hailed as the pioneer of the Bolsheviks. His opposition to autocracy and Nicholas I was definitely among the most fierce of that era, and naturally
The land also received special care from Nicholas I.
In his early years, Herzen and his good friend Ogarev served hard labor and were exiled. In 1847, he was forced to go into exile abroad. However, even though he was forced into exile, he did not forget to continue to pick up his pen to criticize Nicholas I and the Tsarist autocracy.
Anyway, this person is on the third highest-level blacklist, and he will be killed immediately if caught. Moreover, his works have also become banned books in Russia. Not only all published books must be destroyed, but even private dissemination, reading and collection are prohibited.
It is a serious illegal act and requires a prison sentence.
But now, Gerasimovich has "harbored" these two "Little Red Books", and he is also an officer of the Russian Empire. Naturally, this is an unpardonable crime.
When these two books fell, Gerasimovich himself was frightened and fainted. It was obvious that he knew how fatal this was. As for Messadov and Antonov, they were also shaky. How did the books come from
They knew it all, and it would be great fun if Gerasimovich's loose tongue came out to them.
For a moment, Messadov showed a determined expression on his face. It was obvious that this man was ruthless, and he was probably preparing to kill someone and silence him.
"Why are there these banned books!" Messadov shouted, "This is an unforgivable betrayal and the most severe crime! This matter must be reported to the third department immediately and let the third department review the case.
!”
Antonov immediately echoed: "Yes, this matter is not trivial! As an officer of the Second Company, Gerasimovich secretly concealed and disseminated banned books. This behavior is absolutely unforgivable and must be investigated strictly and thoroughly!"
"
Although Antonov is a dog, he is even more sinister than his master. When Messadov reported to Part 3, he still wanted to use the back door to make the big deal smaller, while Antonov directly shouted to catch the thief and beat him up, which is really deplorable.
