This was also his negligence. After arriving at the border town, he was only busy with the training to become a soldier and the living conditions of the people, and completely ignored this aspect.
After dealing with the affairs of these traitors, Qiao Tianchang asked Ning Mengyao to help monitor the situation of various officials in the Xiao Kingdom when he returned home to see if there were any spies from the desert shore, especially the capital.
As for the shops they robbed, they have been gradually taken back by Tongbaozhai in the past six months, and many of the managers have been killed.
Tongbaozhai has basically been cleared now, and the people in the desert may already know it, but even if they know it, it may be too late, because this is not a desert where they can come and leave as they please.
Tongbaozhai was fully operational at the same time, but the results were also huge.
While Ning Mengyao was helping with the investigation, more than a dozen generals, including Qiao Tianchang, received fifty military sticks for themselves due to poor supervision in front of the people. Especially Qiao Tianchang, who was hit with a hundred military sticks on the back. Going up on his back, even his skin was bruised.
The people had never complained about Qiao Tianchang and the others. On the day they received their punishment, all the people in the city rushed to the largest square in the city and watched Qiao Tianchang and the others being beaten on the back with sticks by the soldiers under his command. , Ning Mengyao and Yang Lele were also there. Seeing the blood oozing from the two people's bodies, they felt distressed, but they knew that this was their own decision, and all they could do was to provide support, not at this time. To question their decisions.
"That's enough, General. You have done so much for us in the past six months, no matter how serious the crime is, it is enough." After all the generals retreated to the side with injuries, Qiao Tianchang was still in the center bearing the remaining five. Ten army sticks.
"Enough with the general, no more fighting."
When the people below saw Qiao Tianchang's torn back, they all spoke one after another.
The two soldiers next to them who attacked Qiao Tianchang also softened their hands. Qiao Tianchang was a god in their hearts, how could they bear to attack him.
Qiao Moshang wanted to rush forward many times, but was firmly caught by Ning Mengyao.
If it weren't for the bulging veins on her hands, Qiao Moshang would have thought that Ning Mengyao didn't care about him at all.
"Dad, he..."
"Little monkey, everyone must be responsible for what they do. Your father thinks that there will be so many spies and so many collaborators and traitors because of his poor supervision. He wants to give an explanation to the people in the border towns. "Ning Mengyao looked at Qiao Tianchang, who was motionless even though his face was covered with sweat, and forced a smile on his face.
Qiao Tianchang is such a person, such a person who is responsible for the people and his soldiers.
"Shang'er, your mother is right, this is your father's responsibility."
"But this has nothing to do with dad at all."
"Shang'er, you don't understand. This matter must be solved once and for all, and this is the best way to deal with it. Only if Tianchang punishes himself and lets the people know his attitude, if anything happens in the future, will No common people will believe those rumors, don't underestimate such rumors." Yu Feng looked at Qiao Tianchang, a little impressed, a little angry, and a little distressed.
Qiao Moshang understood clearly that his father's approach was to eliminate hidden dangers in the future.
At this time, more than a dozen women, with their children, arrived in the middle of the field and stopped the executioners.
"General, we have never blamed you for anything. You don't need to do this."
"Yes, General, you are the person we admire most. You have allowed us to live a good life and let us go to school. This is all what you and your wife have brought to us, and the life in the border town has changed a lot. , you shouldn't treat yourself like this." A fifteen or sixteen year old boy looked at Qiao Tianchang and said very seriously.
The people below these people all know that these are the wives and children of the soldiers who were killed by the people in the desert. They stand up now just to protect Qiao Tianchang.
"That's enough, General."
"General, that's enough, don't fight anymore."
