Li Shen heard the sound and looked around. The person speaking was none other than Li Chengqian.

"Brother, His Majesty has decreed that the marshal is not allowed to participate in the affairs of the military governor. Do you still want to resist the decree?" Li Shen said with a cold face.

Everyone knew from Li Shen's expression that Li Shen was going to use these hundreds of people to scare the monkeys.

This young prince was too ruthless, killing hundreds of people at will. These hundreds of bound soldiers looked at Li Chengqian together,

Now the only one who can save them is Li Chengqian.

"Tenth brother, I am not involved, I just want to plead for them. Some people here are just plundering property, and their crimes will not lead to death.

I also hope that the tenth brother can let them live for the sake of his elder brother. "

Li Chengqian came to Li Shen, but everyone present heard what he said, and no one expected that the prince would intercede for these soldiers.

Li Shen still said to Li Chengqian expressionlessly;

"Brother, violations of military discipline can be punished on the spot. They disrupted our Datang's plan. I think they all deserve to die, so brother, please leave them alone, so as not to hurt our friendship."

Li Shen didn't give Li Chengqian any face, then turned around and shouted:

"Cut~~"

"Slow down~~" Li Chengqian stopped him loudly,

"Brother, don't forget, this is His Majesty's imperial edict. The marshal is not allowed to interfere. Do you want to resist the edict?" Li Shen stood on the high platform and angrily yelled at Li Chengqian.

"Although it is His Majesty's will, I, the Marshal, cannot allow you to kill innocent people indiscriminately. Most of these crimes are not punishable by death. Today, I will take charge of it."

Li Chengqian also became angry and shouted angrily at Li Shen,

Li Shen looked at Li Chengqian angrily and sneered:

"Haha, they disobeyed the military order, and their crime is unforgivable. Brother, if you dare to resist the order, the governor will not show mercy. Come and arrest the prince, let me see who dares to stop him."

Li Shen's words made the other generals and even the generals under the city dumbfounded. Could this King Ji want to avenge his private revenge and take this opportunity to seize the crown prince's position?

Or do you want to assassinate the prince?

It's just that Li Shen's excuse was very strong. The prince disobeyed the imperial edict, which was a serious crime.

"You dare?" Li Chengqian said loudly, and the six soldiers behind him pulled out their weapons to protect the prince.

Seeing this situation, Li Shen's guards also guarded Li Shen.

The two groups were at war with each other and could clash at any time, with blood flowing from the original posture.

"Wait a minute, you two." Cheng Yaojin hurriedly stepped forward to stop him. It would be a big deal if he hurt Li Chengqian.

He knew that Li Shen's bodyguards were extremely powerful, and Prince Liu Shui was no match for him.

"Why does Lu Guogong also want to resist the decree?" Li Shen turned to look at Cheng Yaojin.

"Grand Governor, I think what the prince said makes some sense. Military regulations also clearly define rewards and punishments and cannot be generalized.

As the prince said, not everyone deserves to die. "Cheng Yaojin defended Li Chengqian.

"Hmph, since you have violated military regulations, you will be punished, what? Does Lu Guogong want to be punished for them?" Li Shen was also fearless towards Cheng Yaojin.

He is the military governor, and Li Shimin has decreed that no one below the marshal level will interfere with the military governor's actions.

"This..." Cheng Yaojin was speechless for a moment.

"Okay, since your Commander-in-Chief wants someone to be punished, then I will be punished for them, but I just want the Commander-in-Chief to enforce the law impartially and punish the crime according to crime." Li Chengqian said loudly.

"Hey~~~Okay, since the Grand Marshal is willing to be punished for them, I will give you this opportunity, so as not to be accused of wasting time on human life." Li Shen said to Li Chengqian in a mocking tone.

"Come here, bring me the notebook." Li Shen ordered his men.

Soon someone handed over a notebook.

After taking it, Li Shen said to Li Chengqian,

"Brother, I will do as you say this time. I will be rewarded according to my merits and punished according to my crimes. But since you want to be punished for them, then just go with them."

Then Li Shen handed the notebook to Xue Rengui,

"Rengui, according to the list, find all the murderers and adulterers for me."

"Yes"

Xue Rengui and his guards began to read the roster. Like thieves, those who plundered were assigned to a bunch. The rest committed murder, robbery, and raped women.

After a while, Xue Rengui sorted out everyone and came back to follow Li Shen. Li Shen stood on the high platform and looked at a small group of people.

These people are all soldiers who committed murder and adultery. There are about 40 to [-] people in total, including Zhao Yuan and those who made mistakes for the first time. They killed other people's guards, so they must be punished.

"Oh~~~" Li Shen sighed to everyone, looked at everyone's frightened eyes and said:

"Who else among you has something to say, or who has been wronged? You can stand up and speak clearly now."

Li Shen waited for a long time after asking, but no one spoke, which was what he expected.

"You are all my good sons and daughters of the Tang Dynasty, but it is a pity that you have taken the wrong path. You should not look at others, just take care of yourselves.

But you are too jealous, and you are taking chances. You shouldn't have done such evil, but you did. "

Li Shen felt really sorry in his heart.

"Grand Governor, give us another chance, we promise not to do it again." Zhao Yuan said loudly.

"Opportunity, I have given you a chance, Zhao Yuan, don't hate me. I just wanted to punish you a little, and I didn't want your lives.

But because of your mistakes, there have been some consequences, so you deserve to die. If you want to hate, just hate the person who interceded for you in the first place. "

Li Shen said to Zhao Yuan disdainfully.

"The guards obeyed the order and were escorted to the city wall."

After hearing the order, the guards escorted the three to forty people to the city wall.

"You guys go well on your way, I will give your family compensation according to the compensation for death in battle. Be a good person in your next life, kill~~~"

"Cut~~"

"Puff puff puff", the head fell to the ground, and the soldiers below the city saw it clearly, because the head fell to the bottom of the city, they did not expect that Li Shen actually came for real.

And among them are Zhao Yuan and others.

Li Shen didn't look at the scene of beheading. He thought he would have nightmares when he went to bed at night. He said to the others.

"You are lucky, because you still have a little bit of conscience and have not caused harm to the people, and the generalissimo is willing to be punished for you, so I will spare your life.

But the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped. Twenty army sticks per person, do you have any doubts about returning all looted property? "

Everyone shook their heads immediately, how dare they have any objections.

"However, the officers will be punished with thirty sticks. Whether you can survive it depends on your luck. As for the generalissimo, since you are willing to suffer the punishment with them, it will be thirty sticks.

Your lax military discipline has led to the current situation, so you should be punished.

The people who come are here to carry out the execution. They will set up a tent for the generalissimo and he will be executed at the top of the city for thirty years. "
