Except for Li Ding's servant Chen Guang, the expressions of Tieniu, Zhang Sheng, Wang Gui, Li Yong and others all changed.
Tieniu immediately stood up, held up his hands and begged: "Sir Xiaoqi, drill and military discipline have been neglected for many years. On weekdays, everyone has a difficult life. Going to the mountains to hunt and working in the city are also common things. The military order came suddenly the day before yesterday."
"Nian Wu was hunting in the mountains. He didn't receive the order, so he didn't come to report. It's excusable."
"Please also ask Sir Xiaoqi. In large numbers, the punishment will be reduced."
Veteran Li Yong also stood up, bowed and begged: "Sir, if these twenty army sticks are beaten hard, the person will be dead. The Wu family only has a single seedling, so please have mercy on me."
"Wu Nian, why don't you kneel down and beg for mercy?" Li Yong glanced at Wu Nian and gave him a wink.
The original owner is not a thing, but Wu's father and Wu's mother have some affection in Baihusuo. Wu Nian was usually so-so in the army and never offended anyone.
At critical moments, Li Yong was also willing to help him.
Even Zhang Sheng and Wang Gui came to plead for mercy.
Li Ding was furious and slapped his palms heavily on the coffee table.
"bump".
He suddenly stood up, glanced at everyone with his tiger eyes, and said: "The military order is like a mountain. As a soldier, he went into the mountains to hunt. After the military order, he failed to return to the team immediately. He should be killed according to the law."
"If I spare his life, it's already a huge number of adults. Do you want to surround me together?"
The heavily armed servant Chen Guang stepped forward at the right moment. He pulled out half of the black-sheathed steel knife at his waist, revealing his murderous intent.
Among everyone, Tieniu is a good soldier, and Zhang Sheng is also okay. But when they fight, they may not be Chen Guang's opponent.
Officials do not regard their subordinates as human beings, but they are very concerned about raising domestic servants. This Chen Guang is not only very powerful with swordsmanship, fists and kicks, but I heard he has even killed people.
Tieniu has never killed anyone.
And Li Ding is indeed an official. As long as the Great Chu Kingdom did not fall or something unexpected happened, he would be the official to crush anyone to death.
Zhang Sheng and Wang Gui did not dare to offend Li Ding, so they opened their mouths and shrugged their heads. Li Yong, who was over fifty years old, also felt helpless. He sighed and turned away.
Tieniu has a stubborn temper, his blood is rising, and he will act recklessly with his eyes widened.
Of course Wu Nian would not kneel down and beg for mercy. He stretched out his hand and pulled Tie Niu to stop Tie Niu from talking. He took a step forward with no fear on his face. Instead, he held his head high and sneered, saying: "My surname is Li. If people in the Ming Dynasty don't speak secretly, don't use military law to suppress me."
"Your sister Li's second son is about to get married. Your sister wants to buy my family's land, but I won't sell it. Just use this matter to pressure me."
"Why worry about seizing the soldiers' fields without any reason? If it doesn't happen this time, there will be another time."
"I'm not a coward either. Don't hit me, just pull me out and chop me down. If I frown, I'm not Wu Nian. If you don't dare, you're a coward."
After Wu Nian finished speaking, he crossed his arms and turned his back on himself, looking down at Li Ding. He expected that Li Ding would not dare.
It is a traditional skill for officials in these hundreds of households to seize the fields of soldiers.
But there are skills.
If Wu Nian didn't say anything about this matter. Then you can only be dumb and lose. Now that Wu Nian says it himself, what will others think?
I really want to drag him out and behead him because of this matter.
What to do if it provokes a mutiny?
Even if there is no mutiny. Li Ding wanted to behead his subordinates because of Tian. How can he get along in this hundred-household house?
If the Mongolian people go south. The entire hundred households are in danger.
At this critical moment, Baihu and the General Banner definitely don't want the army to have problems.
Putting all these things together, Wu Nian was certain that Li Ding would not dare to kill him.
certainly. If Li Ding really dares to kill him. Wu Nian would not wait to be killed, but would fight back vigorously.
"The worst case scenario is that you can escape from this hundred-household residence with your wife and become a refugee. There is plenty of food in the mountains, and you will definitely not die of hunger. We will talk about the rest later. This dog official is dead."
Wu Nian's eyes fell on Chen Guang. Li Ding, as an official, didn't have much strength, but this servant did.
This servant must be killed first before Li Ding can be killed.
No one present could think of it. Wu Nian actually came up with the idea of killing Li Ding and fleeing with his wife.
Although many military households fled these days, they did not dare to kill officials.
Although the Great Chu State was in ruins, it still had national prestige.
Li Ding's words also made everyone's expressions change drastically.
Li Yong, Zhang Sheng, Wang Gui, and Tieniu all suddenly turned to look at Li Ding. If Wu Nian didn't talk about it, of course they wouldn't know about it.
But Wu Nianyi said that they all felt like a mirror in their hearts.
The rabbit dies and the fox is sad.
Li Ding can use this method to deal with Wu Nian today, and he can use this method to deal with them tomorrow.
Li Ding was defeated, but he was also a little flustered. He never expected that Wu Nian, a rotten drunkard and a rotten gambler, would be so strong.
He said this in public.
You can kill me.
Apart from being flustered, Li Ding became furious again. I wish I could pull out the sword myself and kill Wu Nian.
But he didn't dare to move.
Li Ding understood the truth, how could he not understand it?
At this moment, of course Tian is a good thing, but if it provokes a mutiny! ! ! Not to mention the soldiers below, it was also difficult for him to explain to the general banner and the hundreds of households.
Unexpected, unexpected.
He didn't expect Wu Nian to react like this at all.
He originally thought that Wu Nian didn't dare to say anything and would only cry to his father and mother to beg for mercy.
For a time, Li Ding was advancing and retreating like a wolf.
Don't know what to do.
Just then, a drumbeat sounded. This made Li Ding breathe a sigh of relief. He glared at Wu Nian and said, "Don't talk nonsense. I, Li Ding, walk upright and sit upright. I will never covet a few pieces of bad land from your Wu family."
"Master Baihu is now beating the drums to assemble the soldiers. I don't have time to argue with you. I will argue with you after everything is over."
That’s all. Li Ding stood up, puffed out his chest and belly, and ordered: "Gather."
Li Ding stole the chicken but failed to lose the rice. He was killed by Wu Nian and lost his helmet and armor, so he escaped with the help of a drum.
But Wu Nian said it just now. Li Ding would be a coward if he didn't kill him. Then Li Ding, isn't he just a coward?
However, Wu Nian thought for a moment and did not argue with Li Ding for any verbal advantage. He refused to give up and just sneered.
Immediately, under the command of Li Yong, they lined up and walked out of the main room with Li Ding to the school grounds.
The Baihu Institute is the most basic unit of the Great Chu State Guard System.
One hundred households, two general flags, and ten small flags.
Hundreds of households are ranked in the sixth rank, and the general banner is in the seventh rank. It's really the official level that crushes people to death.
In addition to officials and servants of officials, the full number of regular soldiers was one hundred people.
There is a small stone platform in the school grounds. The banners of hundreds of households and the two generals are standing on the stone platform. Below are ten soldiers with small flags arranged vertically.
Everyone is a half-hearted person, and no team has more than seven soldiers.
The school grounds seemed a bit empty and the scene was rather ugly.
Wu Nian temporarily put aside his grudge with Li Ding and looked up at Baihu and the two general banners.
