Although the stick wound on his back was very serious and the pain came in waves like a tidal wave, Sun Tu's mind was still clear and sharp, and he figured out the whole story in just a moment.
Of course, Hu Rong's arrival was not due to Tong Mu's loss of words. On the contrary, it was something he did deliberately, just because he wanted to use her to save himself from suffering. After all, even if he was as strong as him, these hundred military sticks would be hard to bear. I have to stay in bed for a while after I come down. Even though I have only received fifty or sixty sticks now, the injury is already serious.
But in front of everyone, Sun Tu couldn't borrow the donkey from the slope, so he could only make a sad face and said softly: "Rong'er, obedient, you go home first. If you have anything to say, I can wait until I get home." , stop messing with our military affairs."
"No!" Hu Rong had a determined look on her face, biting her lips and shaking her head in refusal: "I know you are my husband, and I can't just watch you suffer like this. If anyone dares to hurt you, I will never do it. Make him feel better!" After saying that, he waved his two mandarin duck swords, which immediately frightened the soldiers holding sticks nearby and hurriedly ran away, for fear that they would really be hurt.
The people below are getting more and more excited. This scene of a wife saving her husband is very rare. It can only be seen in dramas and storybooks, but now it happened in front of him, and the person involved was the famous Yuehou General Sun. This is really a feast for the eyes, and it’s so addictive.
Such a welcome development not only did not make the people and soldiers feel dissatisfied, but instead made them admire Sun Tu even more. Because only a true hero can make a woman completely desperate to save him, and no one can see any sense of fraud in it, it is completely sincere.
"Rong'er, don't misunderstand me. How can things in the army be trivial? Since I, Sun Tu, have agreed to accept these hundred military sticks, there is no reason to give up halfway. Otherwise, how can I win the trust of the officers and soldiers and the world?" Sun Tu said again. He shouted again, but this time he was supposed to say something to his wife, but this time it spread far away and fell into the ears of hundreds of people in front of him, making them moved again.
But Hu Rong remained unmoved, with tears in her eyes: "I know you are a great hero and you need to worry about many things. But I am just a little girl. I just want my husband and family to be safe... "
Sun Tu took a deep breath and was about to say something else when suddenly several soldiers around him knelt down: "General... I would rather be punished for my humble position than to hurt the general again!"
For a moment, all the soldiers surrounding the high platform turned around and prostrated, and said loudly: "General, please think of the overall situation and don't hurt yourself again because of the mistakes of your subordinates!"
Finally, the soldiers who were all seriously injured also shouted sincerely: "General, we realize our mistake and will never dare to violate military laws in the future. Please consider the world and take back your orders."
"General, please take back your fame and stop being tortured!" Thousands of soldiers shouted at the same time. Then this mood spread again, and countless people were moved and shouted: "General Sun, we know that you are selfless and attach great importance to military law. We are willing to trust the officers and soldiers of the traitor army. Please don't hurt yourself again!"
First there were dozens of people, then hundreds and thousands, and finally almost everyone present shouted loudly and begged: "Please stop the torture of General Sun. We dare not doubt it anymore."
General, I suspect that the soldiers of the traitor army..." The voices gathered in one place and spread far away, reaching the sky and the earth, almost throughout the city.
Even Sun Tu had never expected such a good effect, and at this point, there was really no need for him to endure the punishment of the military stick. He is not that stubborn. After all, the body is his own. If he is seriously injured, the next thing will not be easy to handle.
The decision was made, he finally nodded slightly, and then struggled to get up. However, he was seriously injured and his body was weak, so he couldn't get up this time. Fortunately, Hu Rong was by his side and reached out to help him in time. Sun Tu was able to slowly stand up and bow his hands in all directions with great difficulty.
Someone had already handed the loudspeaker on the side to his hand, and Sun Tu held it up again and said loudly: "Thank you all, fellow soldiers, for trusting me and protecting me. This really makes Sun Tu happy." I was both moved and ashamed, and it also strengthened my original belief that I, the people of the Han family, must live a stable life.
"Today, since you have invited me like this, it would be too shameful for Sun Turuo not to accept it, so I will just record the remaining thirty-six military sticks. If any of our army's lieutenants commit crimes and hurt innocent people again in the future, Sun Tu will come again to receive the punishment."
Upon hearing this, all the officers and soldiers looked solemn and shouted: "General, from now on we will strictly abide by military laws and will not dare to do anything that harms the people. Otherwise, we will be willing to die!"
Sun Tu nodded slightly, glanced at the crowd in front of him, looked at the larger crowd, and said: "In addition, in addition to the soldiers here, there are actually more than a dozen military personnel who committed military violations in Tokyo this time. The crimes committed by the officers were particularly serious, and they actually killed many people in the house. Although there was some past connection, it was because of the grievances that happened that our army's lieutenant general Qi Huan led his troops to kill people in the houses and kill all the people in the houses.
"But killing is killing after all, and I will never protect my subordinates in this matter. So I have decided that tomorrow, I will kill Qi Huan and all sixteen of his subordinates in public, as a warning to others! I hope all the fellow villagers can forgive me. What a mistake we made!" As he said this, he endured the pain on his back and bowed, cupping his fists and saluting in all directions.
The people were really speechless now. If they had a knot in their hearts before, now they are completely convinced and convinced! General Sun is indeed fair and true to his word without any compromise. He said that military law is as great as the sky, so he really only talked about military law and ignored personal affairs. Those who plundered and injured people were all beaten with military sticks, and those who killed people would be punished with their lives. Even he himself received dozens of military sticks in front of everyone in order to compensate for the sins of his subordinates. I would like to ask, from ancient times to the present, are there still people in power who regard the lives of the people as a top priority and regard military law as the way of heaven
Even the most reluctant person has to admit that today's Tokyo is actually under Sun Tu's control. Not to mention these ant-like commoners, even the officials of the Song Dynasty in the palace actually had their lives in their hands. Let me ask, there is no need for him to hurt himself. It only shows that Sun Tu really regards the people as the most important thing and military law as the rules that must be observed.
Seeing everyone's eyes full of respect, Sun Tu was convinced that his suffering was not in vain, and the people's support was his, which paved the way for his next actions.
Strike while the iron is hot, Sun Tu immediately said: "I have said before that I am here for only two things today. Now the first
The first one has been explained to everyone, let’s talk about the second one. I believe you all still remember the real purpose of my bringing troops south this time, right
"Qing Junzi, I am here to challenge the traitors at the risk of being accused of treason, just to Qingjunzi and kill the traitors! As for who is the traitor in the court, the people naturally have a scale in their hearts, and I have made an announcement two days ago Throughout the city, villagers with grievances were called on to go to the Ministry of Justice and Kaifeng Mansion to file complaints. In the past few days, I have received thousands of grievances, and hundreds of officials were involved. This The most serious among them are the six thieves led by Cai Jing, Liang Shicheng and other important officials of the imperial court!
"They have deceived the superiors and deceived the subordinates over the years, and have committed many evil deeds, causing countless people to have their families destroyed, but the victims have no way to complain, so they can only endure silently. But today, I can tell you that your grievances have been resolved. Turn around, I will uphold justice for you! Right now, I have sent my subordinate Tong Mu into the palace to meet the emperor. Chen Caijing and other traitors have hundreds of charges, and I ask the emperor to issue an edict to kill these traitors.
"I even believe that with His majesty's wisdom, even though he was temporarily deceived by the traitor, in the face of such conclusive evidence and complaint, he will wake up, kill the traitor, and bring justice to the people of the world. Just wait for tomorrow, right here, The imperial court will execute Cai Jing and forty-three corrupt officials and traitors who have committed the most heinous crimes, as well as their children and their families. They are just waiting for you to come and have a look!"
Sun Tu's words stopped here, but the scene fell into silence again. Everyone looked at each other in shock, unable to recover for a long time. Many people even felt that they were hallucinating and hearing hallucinations. How could they hear that the imperial court was going to execute Cai Jing and other important officials
It wasn't until everyone around them showed similar doubtful expressions that everyone finally became convinced that this was real and not a dream. Someone twisted his thigh, then cried out in pain, his eyes lit up, and he cheered loudly: "General Sun is wise, Your Majesty is wise!"
"General Sun is wise, Your Majesty is wise!" In a moment, tens of thousands of people shouted loudly at the same time. Everyone was excited and excited, and they wanted to show their excitement by yelling. They had been waiting for this day for so long that almost everyone thought it was an impossible dream. But today, Sun Tu actually told everyone so bluntly that the end of Cai Jing and other traitors was really coming!
Even the common people who had gone to the government to sue those officials could not believe that one of their lawsuits could really push those high-ranking and unreachable big shots into despair.
Waves of cheers seemed to be endless, spreading out in all directions from here like a tide, spreading to the Imperial City, to the outer city, and to the outside of Tokyo. Perhaps it won't be long before this astonishing news will spread throughout the Song Dynasty, making every common people who suffered from it rejoice and shout that the court is wise.
It is said that all the evildoers end up in vain, but in fact those evildoers are not cursed to death by the people. Only violence can be used to completely destroy them, and violence can be used to control violence!
At this moment, Sun Tu's prestige among the people reached a new high point, completely overshadowing the entire imperial court.
