Chapter 165
More than thirty heads were inserted on both sides of the road outside the east gate of the city.
The execution was over, and the onlookers slowly left. Everyone was excitedly talking about the situation when the beheaded while walking. Some people said that their faces were flushed and they seemed to be drunk.
Seeing the execution of a person and killing seems to have become a rare entertainment activity.
Luo Cheng was a little silent.
In a short time, many people have been killed in succession outside the East City Gate. The heads of the criminals who had been trampled on the roadside last time have not yet been corrupted, which has added many new heads.
"Give each of the brothers who executed the knife today a reward of 100 yuan to get rid of bad luck." Luo Cheng gave a little indifferent order.
Those who were arranged to behead the execution were all brothers in the county barracks. They specially selected those who had never seen blood before. Letting them be responsible for the execution was also a training of their courage.
"If you get cheaper, you will have to give a reward of 100 yuan." The fourth brother smiled.
Siye said, "Anyway, this is the rule. Those who hold a knife and behead their heads will receive a hundred rewards, but as usual, this money will not be put into the bag. They will take it out to treat you and buy wine and meat for everyone to eat and spend it."
The second brother-in-law Wang Ziming said, "Xiao Wu, County Magistrate Du has sentenced the wives of those death row prisoners to our county barracks. Could it be that we really want to build a prostitute camp?"
Military prostitutes are not a mysterious thing. As early as the Han Dynasty, there were military prostitutes in the army. These military prostitutes came from criminals' families. For example, Li Ling, the grandson of the flying general Li Guang, led his army to fight with the Huns. At that time, there were military prostitutes in his army.
Historical records record the origin of the military traitors in Li Ling's army, saying that they were the robbers of his wives who moved to the border with the Kanto.
The Criminal Law of the Great Sui Dynasty also said that since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the number of death-related crimes was severe, and the wife was responsible for replenishing the army. However, the criminal law of the Southern Liang Dynasty also included one thing: the body was killed and the wife was responsible for replenishing the army.
This is a tradition. The wives of those who are seriously sentenced to death have a miserable end and are exiled to replenish their troops.
Of course, women who replenish soldiers are not just about being a supplementary soldiers to fight, but actually they are just military prostitutes who accompany the army, and their ends are tragic.
Du Ruhui killed more than 30 people and then sentenced the wives of these people to replenish the troops of Zhangqiu County.
To escort the border to replenish troops, people have to be sent to escort, which is time-consuming and laborious, so Du Ruhui sent it directly to Luo Cheng's county barracks. Anyway, this time the cracking of this major case was also due to Luo Cheng's county barracks.
"These women are also pitiful people." Luo Cheng sighed.
Although there has been no shortage of prostitutes and girls from all dynasties from ancient times to the present, Luo Cheng still finds it difficult to accept that there is an extra prostitute camp in his army.
"Xiao Wu, the county magistrate has already sentenced us to others, so we have the responsibility to take charge of the supervision. You can't let it go, and you have no right to let it go, otherwise you will be dereliction of duty." Wang Ziming reminded Luo Cheng.
The county barracks are mainly young people, and there are many brave men selected from the county towns and other township groups. If there is a prostitute camp in the camp, I am afraid that these people will not let these poor women go.
After thinking about it, Luo Chengdao, "Last time I discussed with the county magistrate and the others, and I would send three hundred brothers to the mountains to garrison. Then a team of people stationed a military station. The county will give us the land that fleeing people cultivated for self-cultivation, and will also pull out some slaves for us. I think, let these women go there to garrison."
"Military farming? Was it a waste?" said someone.
"My county barracks in Luocheng are soldiers, not beasts. These women are also pitiful people. Being military slaves is a punishment. We can no longer ravage them. Let them help military farming, do things within their ability, support themselves, and also help us cultivate the land and grow grain."
The wives of these criminals who were reinforcing the army were already slaves. They would never think of turning back in their lives, but Luo Cheng still wanted to give them some mercy.
"The children of these women were not slaves, so they tried to arrange their family together and let them take care of each other. Also, tell the brothers in the camp not to bully these women. If anyone dares to bully these women, I will enforce military laws and deal with them with the crime of traitors."
Everyone has a beast of desire in their hearts, but they are locked in the depths of their hearts. But if they are released, it will be difficult to lock them back. Luo Cheng is unwilling to become an army of beasts one day.
County government office.
After retrieving the file files of the cattle slaughter case, the county magistrate Du Ruhui signed and signed the name and asked his subordinates to take it for archive.
After sitting for a while, he took out an envelope and started to pick up his pen to write.
The letter was written to Gao Xiaoji, the Minister of Personnel. He wrote in detail about his experiences and discoveries after arriving in Zhangqiu, including his contest and reconciliation with Zhang Yichen and Luo Cheng, and the current situation here, and finally wrote about this case of the cattle slaughtering gang.
In the letter, he had a high evaluation of Luo Cheng, saying that although Luo Cheng was young, he was indeed very talented, and he had some misunderstandings about Luo Cheng before. He even said a lot of good things to his teacher, Mr. Gao, for Luo Cheng, saying that with his talent, he could give him a real position.
He thought it was okay for Luo Cheng to be a magistrate or a county magistrate.
Finally, he recommended a friend in the letter to serve as the magistrate of Zhangqiu County.
Fang Qiaoxiang, the son of Yingchuan County Magistrate Fang Yanqian, was talented and famous. He was admitted to the Jinshi at the age of 18. He was once appointed as the Yuqiwei and was appointed as the Xicheng County Magistrate. He was very talented. Now he is studying under the name of the Great Confucian Wang Tong, and I beg his teacher to make him the Zhangqiu County Magistrate.
He also begs Gao Xiaoji to choose a new chief clerk for Zhangqiu who can do practical things. He does not want people who only know empty talk but have no experience to be the chief clerk.
The chaos in Zhangqiu is new, and young officials who are capable and talented are urgently needed to come and do things.
Du Ruhui's letter was sent to Daxing.
The letter was still on the way, but the county magistrate Zhang Xutuo came to Zhangqiu again.
Zhang Xutuo took office as the county town of Qi County for not long, and all nine counties in the county had been inspected, but none of them came as much as Zhangqiu.
However, this time, Zhang Xutuo was not just a routine inspection.
He is here to award the reward.
This time, the reward for the last time the bandit suppression and quelling the rebellion was awarded.
Last time he recommended Zhangqiuwei to Luo Cheng, but the above did not give it to him.
Now the court has given rewards to the soldiers of the county who suppressed the bandits and quelled the rebellion, and Luo Cheng is also among them.
He was promoted from the previous ninth rank Li Xinwei to the second level of the rank of the rank of Fengchengwei. In addition, the court also formally gave the original temporary rank of the county and county military camp commander.
The county and county barracks are affiliated with the county military system, and the commander is set to be under the ninth rank, and are on the same level as the team of the Yingyang Mansion of the Twelve Guards.
The commander of the county barracks was in charge of 50 county soldiers, but he was only at the same level as the guards who were in charge of 50 people. It can be seen that the county soldiers were far inferior to the sequence of the palace soldiers.
But after all, this is a rank official position.
Although Luo Cheng had a scattered rank before, his chief lieutenant was not a formal official. Now, he has finally become a legitimate official of the Sui Dynasty. Although he is only at the ninth rank and the second-last position among the officials, he has finally entered the official career.
Luo Cunxiao and Luo Siye and other leaders of the county barracks also received ranks this time, but they only received ranks but not officials. The positions of the entire county barracks are Luo Cheng and the deputy chief lieutenant Lao Jia are of high ranks.
The following regiment lieutenant, brigade commander, team commander, etc. Although they were similar to those of the military officers of the palace, they did not have the corresponding rank. This time, because of their achievements in suppressing bandits and suppressing rebellions, they were awarded the title of Li Xinwei from the ninth rank.
From then on, he was considered an official, but he did not have a formal official position.
