As Jiang Pengji said, she came to collect debts today, betrayed her, and caused the soldiers to die in vain. These people are directly or indirectly related. She said that she was generous and generous, and that she was stingy and stingy. This debt had to be repaid with their heads!
Meng Heng asked himself that he had not abused the prisoners, but before they were arrested, these prisoners were all masters of fine clothes and food, and the mouthwashes they used were precious items that ordinary people could not afford. Suddenly losing everything and being treated like ordinary soldiers, they naturally couldn't adapt.
When they were brought up in front of Jiang Pengji, their faces were yellow, oily and dark, and their clothes were wrinkled like dried plums.
"Do you know who I am?"
Jiang Pengji asked them with a smile, but this smile did not contain much smile, but gave people the illusion of being cold to the bone.
More than a dozen people were pressed to the ground and kneeled, with their hands clipped behind their backs. If they put on a prison uniform, it would be like a prisoner.
One of them said, "Liu Xi, why are you arresting us, aren't you afraid of being cast aside and cruel?"
"Not only will I arrest you, but I will also kill you to sacrifice the flag. I can't control the mouths of others. If they say theirs, could it be possible that they can still hurt me? The future generations will comment on the merits and demerits! What did you do? , I know it well." Jiang Pengji said, "I advise you to be lenient when you confess, and be strict when you resist. Please admit it, don't make a fuss until the last bit of face is gone, it won't look good."
The evidence is naturally there.
Meng Heng has always been cautious in his work, and the evidence of these guys' secretly colluding with Huang Song's letters is well kept. With the current atmosphere like this, Jiang Pengji holds the iron proof, let alone kill them, even if they kill them together, the world will only clap their hands and say that she kills well.
As soon as Jiang Pengji mentioned this, the people who jumped and jumped suddenly stopped talking, feeling guilty and scared.
Everyone was so frightened that their souls were splitting, but one of them knelt up straight and asked her, "Does Lanting Gong have the ambition to conquer the world?"
Jiang Pengji laughed instead of being angry, and asked, "What do you think?"
"I know very well that I will die, and I dare not argue for myself, but Duke Lanting has such an ambition, do you know that rewarding the merits of the current period and punishing him should be the crime?"
Reward should be equal to merit, and punishment equal to sin.
Of course Jiang Pengji understood this sentence.
"Are you scolding me for improper rewards and punishments in disguise?"
The man shook his head, of course he wouldn't kill him like this, it wasn't his backbone or courage, he was pulling a whole family to court death.
"I don't dare - it's just too much. The crime of collaborating with the enemy deserves death, but the plot is also serious." The man was so frightened that he almost bit his tongue, his face flushed, and he still insisted, " When rewarding meritorious deeds of the current period, the officers and soldiers will inevitably compete to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds; if the punishment is due to the crime, those who commit serious crimes will admit their crimes, and those who have committed minor crimes will be taken as a warning. Indiscriminate, regardless of the seriousness of the crime, it will all be executed, isn't this unfair?"
After the man finished speaking, Han Yu's eyes could not help but fall on this man.
"There is some truth in what you said. The sentencing of a completed crime and an attempted crime are always different." Jiang Pengji smiled and changed the topic, "But for me, collaborating with the enemy is collaborating with the enemy. You and Bo Gao colluded, this is the case. It's a fact. Your ambitions are written in black and white on the letter! Is it because your family hasn't had time to move under Bogao's rule, is this behavior considered a betrayal?"
Normally, Jiang Pengji would be too lazy to explain so much.
But who asked Han Yu to be there, he had to make it clearer, so as not to confuse the character.
The man blushed after hearing this, but he couldn't argue with Jiang Pengji.
"This is all betrayal and collaborating with the enemy!" Jiang Pengji said again, "If you really want to say the seriousness of the plot, you are a little lighter than the few households in Zhonghe County."
The heavier is death, the lighter is death.
The only difference is that the former die more and the latter die less.
The crowd did not dare to speak.
The man took a deep breath and asked, "Since that's the case - what is Lord Lanting going to do with me?"
"kill!"
The answer was expected, but he was more concerned about how Jiang Pengji would deal with his family.
Jiang Pengji naturally didn't have much time to deal with this, and handed it over directly to Han Yu.
In the lightest case, one family is destroyed, and in the most serious case, the father, son, and grandson are directly executed!
If Jiang Pengji was still the commander of the Federation Corps, she certainly wouldn't do this. According to federal law, personal treason and collaborating with the enemy are only individuals sentenced to death. If the circumstances are serious, relatives will be restricted from personal freedom, and they will be observed for several years, but they will not lose their lives.
However, this is a place in ancient times, where the development of all aspects of society was extremely backward.
Although relatives have no intention of committing crimes, based on various considerations, they must still be divided by capital punishment to achieve the effect of intimidation and deterrence.
Jiang Pengji will not be serious in this regard, and still has to follow the trend.
Han Yu was instructed to act, and all the masterminds who were caught were thrown away by Jiang Pengji to the sacrificial flag.
Sacrifice the flag before the expedition to stimulate the fighting spirit and morale of the soldiers.
Jiang Pengji also asked Wei Ci to write a memorial for her, paying homage to the six thousand soldiers who died in vain. The effect of this move was outstanding, and the soldiers of the entire army were filled with grief and indignation at the same time, and they wished to rush to Huang Song to defeat him now. Guys who have dissent are uneasy, and if they want to betray in the future, they have to weigh what is on their necks or take risks and make a better future!
After recovering a debt, Jiang Pengji felt refreshed, and then it was time to go to Changye to find Huang Song to make a break.
"Let the whole army go!"
After the army took a rest, they hit the road again. Jiang Pengji glanced at the barrage in his spare time, only to find that the barrage was much deserted.
Salted fish who don't talk nonsense is really uncomfortable.
Xianyu was frightened by the way she killed the sacrificial flag, and shivered in front of the screen. Jiang Pengji watched for a while, closed the barrage, and concentrated on the march. Wei Ci and the others were also silent. As time passed, their expressions became more and more solemn, and the whole army was filled with a solemn atmosphere.
This battle is related to whether the Dongqing territory can be completely included in Jiang Pengji's pocket, so everyone is naturally in no mood to talk about other things.
Jiang Pengji was too busy to rest while making a battle plan while on the road.
"Report - I found traces of enemy marching ahead!"
"It looks like we didn't go the wrong way." Jiang Pengji said, "The whole army is on alert!"
Although it is only the traces of the enemy's march, but it is not allowed for the enemy to attack in the middle of the road, it is better to be cautious and take precautions before it happens.
Because Jiang Pengji was going to join forces with Luo Yue, and it took some time to deal with a few traitors and take the sacrifice flag, so it was delayed for nearly two days.
Huang Song set off earlier than her, so there was no guarantee that he would not set up an ambush.
In fact, Huang Song was even more nervous than she was.
It's just that the scouts sent out have been unable to find any trace of Jiang Pengji's army, which made him more and more flustered, like a prisoner waiting to be executed.

"At this time, Huaijie should have received the secret letter, right? I don't know if I can make it in time—"
