Chapter 172 Li Wei
Xu Zhu opened his eyes wide and looked at the jade pendant, his face instantly frightened.

Wei Xingzhi turned around, turned his back to Xu Zhu, and said to the young soldiers and generals outside the tent, "Do you know who I am?"

There was silence for a long time before a soldier raised his hand and said, "I admit it, I admit it."

Wei Xingzhi curled his lips into a smile, "Okay, then tell me, who is this official?"

The little soldier looked up to everyone's eyes and bravely said, "You, you are Nan Xiao's current assistant minister, and you are also a hundred-year-old character. General, I, I also know that the previous disaster relief trip to Jizhou was a big one, my lord took the lead..."

After Wei Xingzhi took the blame, "Who told you this?"

"No, no one told the villain that when the villain joined the army, he was encouraged by the adults. The villain also wanted to be like the adults... that..."

"Papapa—" Wei Xingzhi clapped his hands, looking at the nervousness in the soldier's eyes, "That's right, there are still people in the Eastern Day Camp who know me and take me as a role model."

She shook the jade pendant in her hand, "Then do you recognize this jade pendant?"

"I haven't seen the villain before, so I don't recognize him." The little soldier glanced twice, then hurriedly lowered his head.

Wei Xing knew, "What's your name, how old are you this year?"

"My name is Zhang Chao, and I am sixteen this year." Zhang Chao was so nervous that his whole body had goosebumps.

Wei Xingzhi walked up to him and put the jade pendant in his hand, "Look carefully, remember this jade pendant, this is the jade of the Son of Heaven, when others see this jade pendant, it is like seeing a king in person."

Looking at the jade pendant in his hand, Zhang Chao felt that the jade pendant was as heavy as a rock, pressing down on his hand and his spirit.

Wei Xingzhi said again, "It's hard for you to have the courage to join the army at the [-]th. Work hard. You are a smart man, and you will surely have a bright future."

"Yes!" Zhang Chao looked up at Wei Xingzhi, as if he was greatly encouraged in his heart, he immediately knelt down on one knee and presented the jade pendant, "The villain must live up to the expectations of the adults."

Wei Xingzhi took back the jade pendant, "I'll say it again, take these few Sima and General Xu with you, and you'll get fifty rods, and you'll pay back three times the amount of public funds they used before sunset, otherwise, we'll behead them as a public example."

With this jade pendant and Zhang Chao's words, it is obvious that no one else dares to hesitate anymore. Disobedience to the emperor is a serious crime of beheading.

Xu Zhu obviously didn't expect that the group of submissive soldiers would walk towards him eagerly, "Bold, bold, who of you dares to touch this general—"

Wei Xingzhi and Chao Qiusheng winked, "General Xu is very skilled in martial arts, so you have to come."

Xu Zhu and several other Sima were tied up, and happened to see Tian Si who was locked in a cage outside, and they were all shocked.

Wei Xingzhi glanced at him, "That's right, there's also the matter of Tian Si. Don't worry, I'm very free today, so I'll explain everything to General Xu one by one."

Fu Lianzi moved a chair for Wei Xingzhi to sit in prison.

Xu Zhu and the others were pressed on the bench. Wei Xingzhi pointed to Zhang Chao and said, "Do you dare to fight General Xu?"

Zhang Chao hesitated for a moment, but after seeing Wei Xingzhi's resolute face, he nodded solemnly, "Dare!"

Wei Xingzhi nodded in relief, "Go."

Zhang Chao picked up the board and slapped Xu Zhu hard on the buttocks. He had long since disliked this rambunctious old bastard.

He has been in the army for so long, and he has to doubt what his original intention of joining the army is.

Immediately, on the school grounds, Dushi Sima's wails resounded through the sky.

Wei Xingzhi will watch over the [-] big boards, and if anyone does not hit hard enough for selfishness, he will start all over again.

Circle after circle of people surrounded the school grounds, watching Xu Zhu, who was beaten to death in the camp in the past, applauded secretly.

"Wei Xingzhi, I am the captain of Dongying who was conferred by the late emperor. You are contemptuous of the late emperor. You are treasonous!" Xu Zhu cursed at the top of his voice.

Wei Xingzhi said lightly, "The ones I am punishing are you who rely on the title of the former emperor and rely on the old to sell the old. If Nan Xiao lets you group of moths continue to eat, then I, Nan Xiao, will still be able to unify the four kingdoms. A day to restore the great cause of Qianqiu?"

Zhang Chao played with all his strength, and even his own clothes were half wet after hitting fifty big boards.

"My lord, the fifty big boards are over!" Zhang Chao reported to Wei Xingzhi enthusiastically.

Wei Xingzhi nodded in satisfaction, "I pass on the official's order, Zhang Chao has made meritorious service in the execution, and he was promoted to the subordinate supervisor. The rest of the executioners will all be promoted to the first rank in their original positions. These few are Sima, and their dismissal is pending."

Zhang Chao's eyes widened, he even forgot to thank Xie En, until Qiu Sheng pushed him, "Boy, are you stupid? Why don't you thank Master Wei?"

The position of subordinate supervisor is several levels higher than his current position.

Zhang Chao came back to his senses, and quickly knelt down on the ground, "Thank you, Lord Wei, for your gift."

Wei Xingzhi asked someone to pull Tian Si over, "General Xu, do you recognize this person?"

"No, I don't know him." Xu Zhu was lying on the bench half dead. After all, he was an officer, and he still had the strength to speak after receiving fifty boards.

Wei Xingzhi nodded with a smile, "Then I will help you get to know each other. You sent Tian Si to my mansion to murder His Royal Highness Duan Wang in an attempt to plant the blame on me. Is what I said correct?"

"Don't spout blood!" Xu Zhu scolded.

Wei Xingzhi laughed angrily, "Oh? Bloody spit? There are witnesses and evidence. General Xu might as well confess the crime quickly. I can still plead with the emperor and spare your family's life. After all, murdering the emperor's relatives is a murder. However, if Master Xu was instigated by someone behind him, then Master Xu can still name this person and make up for his mistakes."

Xu Zhu's eyebrows twitched, "With just a few people, you want to prove my crime, and I will never admit it."

"For me, it doesn't matter whether you recognize it or not. If I want to kill you, why do you care about the evidence?" Wei Xingzhi tilted his head back slightly, "How about this, how much does General Xu think his life is worth? Go to your house to get silver taels, if you can get General Xu’s life in exchange, then I will spare your life, if not, then General Xu will have a smooth journey.”

Xu Zhu rolled his eyes around, "You, you are cynical, you are not doing business, you are not worthy of being the head of a country!"

"Master Xu, you don't choose either of the two paths. The official will choose one for you. Someone here will tie Xu Zhu to the middle of the school grounds, and let everyone see what happens to those with unscrupulous intentions." Wei Xingzhi's face turned cold, "I, Nan Xiao, don't support idlers. I have given you the military salary, so I will do my duty. From today on, I will take over the position of Xu Zhu, and I will take care of all the big and small things in the East Camp."

"The standard I give you is that within three months, you will reach two-thirds of the abilities of the former Wei family in Danyang. From now on, I will practice with you every day. If anyone plays tricks, don't blame me for being rude." .”
