The sun's rays hit the thin body, casting a shivering shadow.
The woman looked uneasily and saw a young man walking over with steady steps. He was very unfamiliar. However, the two deputy Qianhu, Zhuang Xing and Feng Fu, who were beside the young man, recognized him and quickly shouted: "Two deputy Qianhu." Qianhu, save me."
Zhou Lin saw Zhuang Xing and Feng Fu with a look of disdain on his face: "Zhuang Xing, Feng Fu, are you blind? I'm working here, and you dare to throw a sword at me to ruin my good deeds. Get out of here, otherwise we'll wait." My dad is back, and you will look good on him!"
Zhuang Xing and Feng Fu looked very ugly.
In any case, the two of them were Jiangyin Guard's deputy Qianhu after all, and they were already considered mid-level generals, but they were scolded by a pretty boy without any mercy.
"who is he?"
Gu Zhengchen took the sword that Zhang Pei had retrieved.
Gu Zhengchen has been throwing swords since he started to get into contact with them, which made the five soldiers unwilling to teach him. But I have to say that he still has the talent of throwing swords. At least the error of throwing swords will not exceed half within ten steps. step.
The sword is sheathed.
Feng Fu glanced at Zhou Lin and explained: "This is Zhou Lin, the only son of Zhou Huan, the governor of Jiangyin Guards. Zhou Lin, this is Gu Zhenfu, who was transferred from Jurong Guards."
"Zhou Zhenfu!"
Gu Zhengchen stared.
The official position of Zhenfu is higher than that of Qianhu. In addition, he is in charge of the sentencing of the guards, so his authority is quite heavy. This is the reason why Lao Zhu can control Jurong Guard by giving himself a governor instead of a commander.
Zhou Huan is on the same level as himself.
"Oh, it turns out to be Quanzhou County - male, haha, Daming County male, you are the only one. I advise you to go where you should, and don't meddle in other people's business, otherwise, the court will probably posthumously designate you as a county man. son."
Zhou Lin squinted his red phoenix eyes, disapprovingly.
Chasing?
Only dead people will pursue seals.
Just when Zhang Pei and Zhao Hailou were about to speak, Gu Zhengchen raised his hand, stopped the two of them, walked towards the woman, and said in a deep voice: "The rules of the guard are iron laws, as cold and ruthless as military orders, and there is no room for bargaining. Zhuang and Feng, two deputy ministers of Qianhu, Mr. Zhou insulted the wife of a sergeant in broad daylight, how should we deal with it?"
Zhuang Xing and Feng Fu looked at each other, lowered their heads and said nothing.
Zhou Lin's identity was unusual. His father was Zhou Huan, the governor of the Song Dynasty, and Zhou Huan also had a close relationship with Wang Zhen, the former commander-in-chief and now the commander-in-chief of Guangxi. What's more, Zhou Huan was a subordinate of Song Guogong Feng Sheng.
After Wang Zhen was transferred, Zhou Huan became the highest officer of Jiangyin Guard. As Zhou Huan's only son, Zhou Lin was naturally the overlord of the guard, and no one dared to offend him easily.
"Disposal?"
Zhou Lin burst out laughing and pointed at Gu Zhengchen: "You are just an outsider. You are temporarily in charge of the Jiangyin Guards under orders. If you have nothing to do, just squat in front of the guard camp and have a meal. If it doesn't work, go to the Yangtze River to catch fish." Fish, no one cares about you, and no one wants to be cared for by you. If you really treat yourself as a big shot and show off your authority here, then Gu Zhenfu, you have chosen the wrong place!"
"Yeah?"
Gu Zhengchen took out the transfer order document of Jinghai Marquis Wu Zhen from his pocket, unfolded it, read it, and said seriously: "According to General Wu's military order, now I have the final say in all affairs of Jiangyin Guard, and everyone listens to me. Including you.”
The smile on Zhou Lin's face finally subsided and he said sternly: "Gu's surname is that you should keep a line in your life so that we can meet again in the future. I heard that you are a civil official and magistrate of the county. You should know who can and cannot be provoked, otherwise , the harm will be endless.”
Seeing that the woman was fine, Gu Zhengchen stared at Zhou Lin and said sternly: "You have heard a lot, but have you heard that the governor of this town dared to sue even the adopted son of the Marquis and the censor's teeth? Dare to pull it out. You? As the son of the governor, you dare to insult the wife of a sergeant. If you are not punished, what is the use of the Ming Dynasty's military orders? "
Zhou Lin shivered.
Gu Zhengchen informed the Marquis of Pingliang about Fei Ju's adopted son. Many people had heard about it. After all, Jiangyin was not far from Jinling.
But the censor dared to pull out his teeth. Isn’t this something a normal person can do?
Zhuang Xing and Feng Fu swallowed their saliva, looked at each other, and saw the awe in their eyes.
Censors and officials, to put it mildly, are open-minded people, but to put it harshly, what they do all day long is to find faults and scold people. Some public officials can uphold impartiality and expose corruption and abuse of power to harm the people, but some public officials can just curse people based on their preference.
Anyone who offends them is no different than poking a hornet's nest.
Korean Duke Li Shanchang is such a shrewd person, and he is also the number one among the six great princes. He was also suppressed by Yushitai. Doesn't Li Shanchang have a temper? But he didn't dare to offend the censor, let alone beat the censor...
"Has Gu Zhenfu beaten the censor?"
Feng Fu asked nervously.
Gu Zhengchen nodded, raised his hand and said, "Not only was he beaten, but he was beaten twice. Why, have you remembered the punishment for bullying a sergeant's wife?"
Feng Fu's expression changed. Gu Zhenfu, who seemed to be gentle and gentle, was so tyrannical that he even dared to beat the censor. He was still alive and well. This guy was really tough.
However, Zhou Lin is Zhen Fu's son after all. If you beat him, the consequences will be difficult to deal with.
The censor can't fight back and can't beat you, but Zhou Huan is a military general and has soldiers under his command. If he sneaks a few people to Jurong to blackmail you and report an accident, it will be really troublesome.
Feng Fu pulled Gu Zhengchen and said in a low voice: "Young Master Zhou didn't bully you this time. This military woman is not doing well, she was just frightened. Why don't you let Young Master Zhou pay some money and food?"
"Oh, Zhuang Xing, do you think so too?"
Gu Zhengchen looked at Zhuang Xing.
Zhuang Xing reluctantly expressed his position: "It is better to do less than to do more. Mr. Zhou did not make a big mistake..."
Gu Zhengchen looked at Zhao Hailou and Zhang Pei: "Tie up all these people."
"ah?"
Feng Fu and Zhuang Xing were shocked.
The two of us were standing on the shore in the mud, how could they kick us into the ditch?
Feng Fu immediately changed his face: "Gu Zhenfu, insulting the wife of a soldier, intends to rape the wife of a soldier. If he fails to do so, he will be whipped sixty times!"
Zhuang Xing looked at Zhou Lin and said helplessly: "He should be severely punished!"
Gu Zhengchen looked at Zhao Hailou.
Zhao Hailou stepped forward and knocked down the two sergeants, and grabbed Zhou Lin who was about to run away. With just one punch, Zhou Lin was now lifted up in Zhou Hailou's strong hands like a lamb.
"Thank you, thank you Gu Zhenfu."
The woman knelt down to give thanks.
Gu Zhengchen signaled the woman to get up, comforted her, and then took Zhou Lin and others to the teaching ground.
The drums thundered and the sergeants rallied.
Wei Shangwen and Liu Ji from one hundred households were shocked to see Zhou Lin tied up and being escorted to his knees in front of him. The sergeant was also surprised when he saw this.
Wei Shangwen found Feng Fu and Zhuang Xing and asked in a low voice: "You are crazy. Not long after Zhou Zhenfu went out with the army, you dared to kidnap his only son. If Zhou Zhenfu comes back, won't you want to look good to you!"
Feng Fu was filled with bitterness: "Either the three of us will be whipped together, or he will be whipped alone. What do you think? The new Gu Zhenfu has a very bad temper. How about you intercede?"
Wei Shangwen shook his head: "I just came here to ask about the situation and intercede for him, a dandy. Haha, it's just for Zhou Zhenfu's sake if he doesn't add insult to injury."
"Stop talking, Gu Zhenfu is here."
Zhuang Xing reminded.
Gu Zhengchen stood on the stage and looked at the more than a thousand Jiangyin Guards sergeants with cold eyes and anger in his Dantian: "What is the most important thing in the Jiangyin Guards? Money, food, baggage, equipment, ships? No, the most important thing in the Jiangyin Guards It’s you, the sergeants of flesh and blood! You practice martial arts, guard the gate of the Yangtze River, and are the meritorious people who protect the stability of Jinling!"
"And this contribution naturally includes your family members! Without the hard work of your wives and the support of their hard work day and night, which of you would be able to train without any worries? However, someone actually insulted the sergeant's wife!"
"I, Gu Zhengchen, don't know when this happened. I only know that the Jiangyin Guards are now under my control. From now until I leave, all of you and everything will be under my control. I will be responsible! Zhou Lin, the son of a sergeant from Jiangyin, insulted the sergeant’s wife and was whipped sixty times according to the guard’s order! Zhao Hailou, execute him!”
Zhao Hailou ordered someone to take off Zhou Lin's shirt and waved the whip in his hand.
Zhou Lin became frightened and shouted: "Gu Zhengchen, my father is Zhou Huan, the governor of Jiangyin. If you dare to hit me, my father will never spare you when he comes back!"
Zhao Hailou stepped forward, his whip danced in an arc, and fell suddenly on Zhou Lin. A shrill scream came out, and all the sergeants watching the execution shivered immediately.
Damn it, the only son of the Jiangyin guard commander dares to fight, this new Gu Zhenfu is so awesome!
Liu Ji from a hundred households felt happy when he saw tears streaming down his face from Zhou Lin's nose.
Zhou Lin relied on Zhou Huan's identity to bully the sergeants and women in the guard station not once or twice. Some women could not bear the humiliation and committed suicide directly. When the sergeants came forward to argue, Zhou Lin and his men beat them to death.
Some women even cut their faces with scissors in order to protect themselves.
As far as the Guards are concerned, it is true that a general holds the life and death of a sergeant in his hands. If you meet a good officer who treats people as human beings, that's fine. If you meet a bad officer, he is worse than a slave.
Gu Zhengchen looked at Jiangyin Guards sergeant and Zhou Lin receiving the punishment. There was no fear in their eyes, but a sense of pleasure in a good fight.
If the investigation continues and what Zhou Lin has done is found out, his head may not be saved.
Gu Zhengchen didn't want to make things happen. After all, he was only temporarily in charge of the Jiangyin Guards. Zhou Huan followed Wu Zhen out to sea to suppress the pirates. He might have been promoted if he had achieved military exploits. If he came back and found that his son's head was full of holes, it would probably be A lifetime of hatred.
The fewer enemies you make, the easier your path will be.
Being whipped dozens of times not only complied with the sentencing orders of the guard, but also established his dignity and showed kindness to Zhou Huan.
Zhou Lin was a dandy, his body was not even as good as Gu Zhengchen's. He fainted immediately after being whipped twenty times. His body was covered with bruises and bruises. Zhao Hailou was afraid that he would accidentally beat the person to death, so he kept his strength and beat the sixty-year-old boy. whip.
Gu Zhengchen stepped forward, pointed at the unconscious Zhou Lin, and said sternly: "Whoever dares to privately insult a sergeant's family will end up like this! The Jiangyin Guard sergeants are as close as a family. On the battlefield, they are brothers who depend on each other for life and death. Such beastly behavior should never happen again to Jiangyin Guard!"
