"Colonel Hu has been drinking?!" Yang Qingyuan smelled a faint smell of alcohol. It was very light. If his innate six senses were not far superior to ordinary people, he would never be able to detect it.
As he spoke, he looked at a cowhide water bag on Hu Cheng's table.
Hearing Yang Qingyuan's words, Hu Cheng's expression changed. He only took two sips. How did the new prefect know this?!
"Sir, are you kidding!?"
Although he was slightly shocked, he couldn't show it on his face. Hu Cheng immediately denied it.
"So this officer has misunderstood?!"
While Yang Qingyuan was speaking, he winked at Xiao Tao and Shen Bao who were standing aside, and the two of them immediately understood.
Just when Hu Cheng thought the matter was over, Shen Bao moved. Shen Bao, who was standing behind Yang Qingyuan with his sword in his hand, suddenly rushed towards the main seat.
Hu Cheng reacted immediately, drew out his sword and was about to stop him, but was stopped by Xiao Tao on the side.
Shen Bao successfully removed the cowhide water bag from the main seat and handed it to Yang Qingyuan.
Yang Qingyuan took the cowhide bag and opened the stopper in front of Hu Cheng, and the aroma of wine wafted out of the water bag.
Yang Qingyuan said to Hu Cheng, "Colonel Hu, what else do you have to say?!"
Although Hu Cheng is a county captain, in terms of martial arts, even a martial artist in the Tongmai realm cannot defeat Xiao Tao for a while.
Looking at Yang Qingyuan standing with a drink in hand, Hu Cheng looked angry.
"Yang, what do you want?!"
"According to the military law of the Great Zhou Dynasty, what is the crime for drinking privately in the general's army?!"
Hu Cheng did not answer, but looked gloomy, and slashed at Xiao Tao with the sword in his hand one after another.
Yang Qingyuan signaled with his eyes, Shen Bao understood immediately, drew his sword and stepped forward, fighting Hu Cheng with Shen Bao.
The martial arts of the three people all have the style of the military. The fact that Shen Bao and Xiao Tao were selected into the Six Gates Headquarters shows that they are outstanding. Although they are just new to Tongmai, they can fight with Hu Cheng indistinguishably. .
Hu Cheng can serve as the captain of a county, so naturally he will not be a drunkard. The eight extraordinary meridians have already opened up the five meridians.
Of course, in Yang Qingyuan's eyes, he is just a one-hit kill, but now Yang Qingyuan does not want to expose his martial arts skills easily.
Yang Qingyuan looked at the fighting parties and secretly fired a sword energy.
This sword energy just followed Xiao Tao's sword move.
Hu Cheng, who was fighting with Shen and Xiao, felt an irresistible sharp force coming from Xiao Tao's sword. He couldn't hold the sword in his hand tightly and was knocked away by the sword.
Hu Cheng was also restrained by Xiao Tao and Shen Bao with their swords.
Hu Cheng looked at Xiao Tao who held the sword on his neck with disdain. He was a despicable villain who deliberately hid his strength and could not be called a hero.
"Tie this man to me!"
Xiao Tao skillfully took out a bottle of Qi-stagnation pill from his pocket. Although this pill may not be useful for Yuanhua realm, its effect against warriors of Tongmai realm is nothing to say.
After being forced to take the elixir, Hu Cheng soon discovered that the Qi in his body was not flowing smoothly and could not gather Qi. Just when Hu Cheng was about to question him, Hu Cheng was tied up by a group of government officials and stuffed with a towel. Shut up.
The guards outside were also restrained when they entered the tent just now, and they could only see Hu Cheng being tied up.
"Beat the drums! Call up the troops!"
Yang Qingyuan said to Xiao Tao on the side.
If you want to temporarily control the city defense army, with Hu Cheng's attitude, it is no longer possible to take the soft and gentle route. Now the only thing left is to establish authority.
Just in time, he used Hu Chengwei, who had violated military law, as a threat.
Within a quarter of an hour after the drums sounded, the city defense troops gathered in the school grounds. Just when the soldiers and the team were wondering what was going on, Yang Qingyuan and his party appeared in the upper seats of the school grounds.
Hu Chengzheng was tied up with five flowers and was being held captive, unable to move.
"Who are you!? Hurry up and let Captain Hu go!" The first person to speak was Hu Cheng's confidant, a team leader.
The large tool man Zhao Jianfeng stood up again. Everyone in the army knew him, "Everyone, this is the new governor of Pingshan County, Mr. Yang!"
Zhao Jianfeng's words made most of the soldiers quiet down. For these soldiers, the prefect was already an out-of-reach official. The greatest official that most people could see in their lives was probably the county governor.
Although Hu Cheng's confidant Captain Zheng was afraid of Yang Qingyuan's identity, he still stepped forward and asked, "May I ask, Lord Prefect, what did my captain commit?!"
As the head of a county military attache, Hu Cheng treated his confidants well. At critical moments, two teams stood up to speak for him.
"As a lieutenant in a county, Hu Cheng openly drank in the military camp. After being discovered by his own officer, he resisted the law with a knife and was captured. This is the physical evidence found in his camp! If there is anyone who doesn't believe it,
You can come up and check it out!”
While Yang Qingyuan was speaking, Xiao Tao on the side showed a water bag commonly used in the army. When they saw the water bag, everyone knew that the matter had been concluded.
"On the first day I came to the camp for inspection, the commander of the first battalion openly drank alcohol in the army! Where is the military law in such an outrageous manner?!"
"According to our military law of the Great Zhou Dynasty, anyone who openly drinks alcohol in the army will be punished with fifty sticks! Hu Cheng, as a general, knew the law and violated the law, and resisted arrest with a knife. The crime will be increased by one degree. For several crimes, he will be punished with eighty sticks and his salary will be reduced for three months!
"
Yang Qingyuan signaled the arrester to execute him quickly.
Hu Cheng was taken to the school grounds and tied to an execution bench in front of the sergeants.
The towel that originally blocked the mouth was also removed.
As soon as he took it off, Hu Cheng shouted, "I don't accept the surname Yang!"
"What are you dissatisfied with?!" Yang Qingyuan didn't care at all. You, a military attaché, want to reason with the Minister of Dali Temple?
"You are abusing military law! Vengeance is public and private!!"
"Oh?! You drank openly in the army and resisted the law with a knife!? Which thing is untrue?!"
Hu Cheng was speechless for a moment. There were many people present when the drink was found, so how could he deny it casually?
"Or do you think the military law is wrong?!... Well, as long as you say it yourself in front of many soldiers today, the Zhou military law is nothing in your eyes! I will let you go now!"
Hu Cheng continued to remain silent. He did not dare to say these words. Today he dared to shout in front of everyone in the school grounds. He believed that it would not be long before a memorial to impeach him would appear in the Ministry of War.
"If you have nothing to say, let's execute him!"
Yang Qingyuan waved his hand and asked Shen Bao to do it himself.
Although it is a stick punishment, it is also very particular. If the stick is hit eighty times with all the strength, it will be enough to kill Hu Cheng.
But Yang Qingyuan's purpose was to establish his authority, not to kill people. What's more, Hu Cheng's crime would not lead to death.
Yang Qingyuan passed a secret message and told Shen Bao. Shen Bao nodded slightly and began the execution.
After burning a stick of incense, the execution was completed.
Although Hu Cheng's buttocks looked like they were beaten to a bloody pulp, no bones were actually injured. With his warrior's physique and good medicine, he could be completely healed in just a few days.
After establishing his power, Yang Qingyuan could feel that the attitude of the army sergeants had changed significantly.
