Xia Houjie frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

Cui Tieniu sighed and said: "Yesterday, my subordinates saw our people robbing a girl and injuring her. I gave that person fifty military sticks. I don't know if the commander thinks this punishment is appropriate. ?”

Xia Houjie originally wanted to suppress Cui Tieniu with words, but Cui Tieniu actually wanted to attack him in public.

Xia Houjie stroked his beard and asked: "Robbing a civilian girl? Have you investigated clearly? Don't be deceived. It will wrong our own people and chill the hearts of our brothers."

Cui Tieniu replied: "This is my first time handling something, so I dare not be careless. My subordinates saw it with their own eyes and inquired about the facts on the spot. The subordinate himself admitted it."

Xia Houjie narrowed his eyes slightly and asked the people on the side: "Did you all see it with your own eyes?"

Xia Houjie's tone was unkind, sullen and threatening.

Xun Yi and others behind Cui Tieniu were worried for a moment and lowered their heads.

Xia Houjie glanced at Cui Tieniu's subordinates with a threatening gaze.

"Can you prove that our man raped a civilian girl?"

The threat is a bit more serious.

Everyone was silent.

Xia Houjie gradually became proud and looked at Cui Tieniu.

There was no expression on Cui Tieniu's handsome face with three-dimensional features. He lowered his head slightly and pursed his thin lips.

Xia Houjie said in a deep voice, "Cui Tieniu, your subordinates were with you yesterday, but they didn't even see it! It shows that your words are really untrustworthy!"

"Are you selfishly seeking revenge on that subordinate? This commander will investigate this matter carefully. If there is not enough evidence to prove that subordinate raped a civilian girl, this commander will have to punish you!"

Xia Houjie felt more and more proud. Since no one else dared to accuse Cheng Yuanhao of robbing a civilian girl, all he had to do was make Cheng Yuanhao change his story.

As for the herdsmen's family, just give them some silver and you can silence them!Or, simply drive them to live in a nearby place so that Cui Tieniu can't find them!

In this way, Cheng Yuanhao can be avenged and his reputation can be cleared away.

You can also drive away this mean-spirited Xin Qianhu and replace him with someone close to Xia Houjie.

Cui Tieniu remained silent.

Xia Houjie sneered and stroked his beard: "Cui Tieniu, it seems that no one will testify for you!"

Cui Tieniu still said nothing.

Xia Houjie thought to himself, "Young Touqing, you know I'm not easy to mess with, right?"

He glanced at Cui Tieniu contemptuously and said coldly: "Then... I am going to punish you. I will also give you fifty military sticks! Come on!"

When the people around Xia Houjie heard the sound, they came to capture Cui Tieniu and beat him with military sticks.

Dense beads of sweat appeared on Xun Yi's forehead, and he finally couldn't help shouting: "Wait a minute!"

Xia Houjie stared at Xun Yi. .

Xun Yi saluted and said loudly: "Return to the command, my subordinates saw with their own eyes that Cheng Yuanhao robbed a civilian girl."

Xia Houjie's eyes were full of surprise and anger.

Why is there another disobedient one? !What a turn of events!

With Xun Yi taking the lead, several other subordinates looked at each other and stepped forward to salute.

"My subordinates saw Cheng Yuanhao robbing a civilian girl."

"My subordinates also saw it with their own eyes."

"My subordinates also saw it."

"And I!"

"I saw it too."

Xia Houjie clenched his fists tightly.

He, Xia Houjie, had been in charge of Kaiping Weiliu for seven years. He thought he had great authority and the people below him would never dare to disobey him.

Unexpectedly, these people openly defended Cui Tieniu today!

Xia Houjie looked at Cui Tieniu angrily.

Cui Tieniu stepped forward and saluted: "Returning to the commander, it is really great that you personally investigate this matter. The herdsman's family is in Qianhu Residence at this time, and Cheng Yuanhao is also recuperating in the military residence. You can inquire in person. "

Is the herdsman family here? !

Only then did Xia Houjie realize that Cui Tieniu had guessed that he had come back to investigate and had taken precautions.

Cui Tieniu added: "By the way, I have here the confession signed by Cheng Yuanhao yesterday, as well as the testimony of the herdsman's father and daughter, also signed and fingerprinted. Do you want me to bring it over to you now?"

Xia Houjie's face became even more ugly. Cui Tieniu had done such a thorough job, how could he have any room to overturn the verdict?

Besides, it's not like Xia Houjie didn't know Cheng Yuanhao's virtue.

He just doesn't like his subordinates not giving him face!It depends on the owner when it comes to beating a dog.

However, Cui Tieniu had solid evidence and brought the matter to light again, saying that it was really difficult for Xia Houjie to protect Cheng Yuanhao.

So, Xia Houjie laughed twice and said, "I'm just afraid that you will be deceived because of your lack of experience in leading the army. Since you have investigated everything clearly and have all the witnesses and confessions, how can I not believe you?"

Cui Tieniu clasped his fists and said loudly: "Thank you, Commander, for your trust!"

Cui Tieniu asked: "Commander Xiahou, is it appropriate to punish Cheng Yuanhao with fifty military sticks?"

Xia Houjie felt resentful in his heart, but said with approval on his face: "It's appropriate."

Cui Tieniu pretended to be very impressed and said to everyone: "I know that Commander Xiahou understands justice well and will definitely deal with things fairly and not show favoritism."

Xia Houjie straightened his back.

Cui Tieniu was filled with emotion and said sincerely: "Commander Xiahou, yesterday, I later found out that Cheng Yuanhao is related to you. Someone told me that I would definitely be in bad luck. I was a little scared myself and didn't sleep well all night. "

"I am really touched and admired by your lord's willingness to kill relatives today! You are so selfless and not interested in selfish interests. You will definitely be able to stop those people's mouths and let everyone know that Commander Xiahou is a man who manages the army strictly!"

Xia Houjie was praised like a flower by Cui Tieniu. He was too embarrassed to act like shit, so he naturally had to match his words and deeds.

Xia Houjie smiled and said: "Cheng Yuanhao is spoiled by his family and has a lot of problems. You are his commander. You must be strict with him in the future. If he can't do it, you can deal with it as you please!"

Cui Tieniu seemed to admire Xiahou Jie's character very much: "Brothers, look, this is our commander! If we don't train our troops well, will we be worthy of Commander Xiahou? We should all learn from Commander Xiahou!"

The subordinates were dizzy by the sudden change of wind direction, and they all hurriedly expressed their admiration for Xia Houjie.

Cui Tieniu smiled and said: "Commander Xiahou, you are here at the right time. I have prepared some food and drinks. If you are free, come in and have a few drinks and give us good guidance!"

Xia Houjie smelled the aroma of meat at the door of the house. He was praised as if he was in the clouds by Cui Tieniu, and he was invited into the house by Cui Tieniu in a daze.

The maids served a few more dishes to the main table, including a lot of beef skewers and mutton skewers. Soon, the jar of wine was empty.
