Chapter 3, the mighty army
Zhang Xiaoliu surrendered without any resistance. Although Wang Wu wanted to resist, so many soldiers rushed over, all the brothers of Xingwu. With almost the same kung fu, he was tied up quickly.
"June is wise!"
"The military master is mighty and eradicates the scourge for our people!"
Amid the praises, Yue Baihu turned to Liu Ruyue and said, "You go to the military camp with us, and wait until this matter is found out, and you will be let go."
Liu Ruyue is no longer a naive village woman who has never seen the world in her previous life and does not know the sinister world. She immediately refused loudly, "I won't go."
Yue Baihu squinted his eyes dangerously, and the people who had been on the battlefield rushed towards Liu Ruyue with murderous pressure, which made Liu Ruyue sweat heavily for a moment.
This person is so unreasonable. It was obvious that the soldiers under his command made a mistake, so why did they exhale her anger on her? This made her more determined not to go to the military camp.
She couldn't break here, her children were still waiting for her, Liu Ruyue clenched her fists, and the tingling sensation in her palm made her forcefully climb up from the ground under the intimidation of this military master.
She raised her neck and tried her best to argue without any concession. "The civilian woman does not understand how the military camp tried the case. I only know that the case of human trafficking should be judged by the magistrate. After all, the young ladies who are sold are from Tongxian. You are the ones who are tried by your own military camp. Who knows how you will examine it?"
The bearded man covered the centurion's expression, but a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, "Do you suspect I will cover up the two of them?"
Liu Ruyue is not a clever person who can speak out. She basically worked hard in her previous life, and she rarely had to say anything, and no one would be willing to talk to someone with ugly scars on her face.
She knew that if the answer was not answered well, public opinion would not be able to save her, and the military master was already impatient with her.
She racked her brains and her eyes lit up, "I am an outsider and I also know that the military camp is a place where women are prohibited from entering. Once a woman violates the order, she will be killed without mercy! What is your intention to let me enter the military camp? Do you want to use the military order to kill me? Once I enter the military camp, I will have no way to know whether I am alive or dead."
These words made the people around him nod.
"Yes, this little lady is right. This Jun Ye is just a centurion. Even if he has no bad intentions, his position is not low, but not too high. He can't save it even if he takes a woman back and asks Shangguan to punish the little lady for military orders!"
"Yes, if Shangguan wanted to protect that person for reputation and used military orders to kill this witness, we wouldn't know who dared to trek into the military camp."
"It's better to let the magistrate examine this matter."
"Otherwise, it is very likely that someone will sue me if he comes out of court."
Listening to the discussion around, Yue Baihu's face turned dark. He felt the inability to argue after Zhang Xiaoliu and Wang Wu met this woman just now.
"What a clever look. Since that's the case, I'll take you to the county government."
The other party had already let go. If she didn't agree, the other party would lose patience, but Liu Ruyue still added.
She squatted and held her hands on her left waist and saluted, "Thank you, this military master, who doesn't care about the suspicion of the civilian woman, and you have to take the initiative to protect me and arrive at the county government. From this moment on, my life will be protected by Jun master."
Looking at Yue Baihu's increasingly ugly face, Liu Ruyue squeezed out a smile and continued, "Oh, and Mu He, Chen Shu, Huang Qiang, if any of us has any problems, I'm afraid others will misunderstand that you are not protecting well or killing people to silence you. At that time, you will really jump into the Yellow River and can't even wash it. At this risk, you must also protect me. You are such a great person. I don't know who your benefactor is called? So that... Shi Niang can keep it in mind."
The onlookers who could understand what she meant was already worried about Liu Ruyue's boldness and arrogance. They dared to threaten this and question Jun Ye, and they really wanted to be dead.
As the saying goes, a scholar meets a soldier and it is hard to explain it clearly, let alone that she is just a village woman. It is too easy to find a reason to kill her by these people.
Yue Baihu looked unrecognizable, and finally laughed in anger, "A real man stands tall and does not change his name when he walks, and does not change his surname when he sits. Yue Wuyi, the centurion of the garrison army in Tongxian garrison in Jincheng."
His attitude is open, which has attracted praise from the people.
"Qin Biao, Su An, you two escort Shi Niang to the county government and must protect her safety until the trial of the case is over."
"Yes, Yue Baihu!"
"Get orders!"
Two strong soldiers walked out of the army, one on the left and the other on the right, protected Liu Ruyue.
Liu Ruyue saluted again, speechless, turned around and walked towards the gate of Tong County with two soldiers.
Yue Baihu ordered people to continue to guard the city gate, and then took the soldiers to escort Wang Wu and Zhang Xiaoliu back to the camp.
Returning to his tent, Yue Wuyi pondered for a moment with a cold face, immediately called his confidant and issued a secret order, "Go to check the origin of that Shi Niang, and put her information on my desk before supper."
"yes!"
The confidant left quickly.
Yue Wuyi was carrying his hands behind his back, recalling the stubborn little lady in a messy body, with her hair stuck to dry mud, and her face was covered in dust. Although she was afraid of him and her calf trembling and sweating profusely, she still dared to face his fierce eyes as if she was killing god.
Even thousands of households in the army dared to look at him when he was angry.
"Shi Niang, I will tell you the name as you wish, but you perfunctorily gave me a pseudonym without a surname. Good and courageous. You'd better have no handle in my hand, otherwise..." Yue Wuyi sneered and moved his fingers, touching the knife at his waist. It was a knife that killed countless enemies.
Under the leadership of Qin Biao and Su An, Liu Ruyue arrived at the county government gate unobstructedly.
The stone lion at the entrance of the county yamen added a bit of majesty to the simple county yamen. The people of the county yamen had already received news from the city gate, and a yamen runner was guarding the door and picked up the three of them.
Follow the path to enter the county yamen courtyard, and the whole way is full of solemn and mirror-like atmosphere, and there is no too much potted decoration on the way.
A middle-aged fat man wearing green official uniform and bearded came to greet him with two yamen runners. "The magistrate is not in the mansion for any matter. My Tong County Magistrate Lei Junhong has arranged a residence for this lady. However, since Yuebaihu believes that the county yamen has handed the witness to us, Lei still asks the little lady to tell me about the story of the two being sold to the little lady. I can also send someone to Huangxi Township to get people."
Liu Ruyue bowed and saluted, "The civilian woman thanked County Magistrate Lei for working hard for making decisions for the people. She decided to inform the county government of everything she knew, and it would be better that the woman sold by Wang Wu and Zhang Xiaoliu would be recovered as soon as possible."
Lei Junhong took Liu Ruyue into the small hall. The documents had already laid paper on the small table beside them, grinding them, and holding the pen and waiting.
Lei Junhong sat down in the upper seat and reached out to signal, "Please sit down, Shi Niang, please speak."
This is not in the court, without kneeling or standing and replying, and sitting on a chair, it was already the two soldiers Lei Junhong brought her to treat her so politely.
At this moment, she cannot show her timidity, and cannot make others think that her behavior is suspicious, and thus doubt her origin.
Liu Ruyue was not polite. She sat in the guest seat with gaze regardless of how tattered and dirty she was wearing. She also picked up the tea from the mailbox and drank two sips.
