At midnight the next day, after the garrison battalions had completed their morning exercises and had breakfast, each battalion, led by the chief officer and deputy lieutenants, rushed to the open space outside the West City to assemble in the positions designated by the officials and lieutenants of the Shouchuo Mansion.
On standby, at this time, many people from the city and people from various ethnic groups in nearby towns and villages had gathered here.
The invited city lord Pan Lengleng and various officials came one after another.
The people who came here wanted to see how Shouzhuo Mansion would deal with the seven garrison soldiers.
These seven soldiers had caused an uproar in the local area by doing things that harmed the people while chasing the Tuqi soldiers to defeat them.
This kind of thing has happened before, but after it happened, it was suppressed by officials and senior generals in the garrison.
In the end, the big thing was reduced to a small matter, and the trivial matter was reduced to nothing.
However, Zhao Ziliang not only did not suppress or cover up this matter.
Instead, he ordered the garrison to move out of the barracks and gather outside the west city gate, saying that they would publicly announce how to deal with this matter.
This caused all walks of life in the local society to talk about it.
In a short period of time, it spread throughout the surrounding towns and cities of Dialong City.
Village, so the number of people from all ethnic groups who arrived here at the end of the day has reached nearly ten thousand, and the number is still increasing.
These people all want to see how Zhao Ziliang, the warden of the capture house, will deal with the seven soldiers who committed the crime.
Today is a rare sunny day.
Although the smell is still very low, people still feel warm when the sun comes out.
In addition, there are so many people now that the people don't feel cold.
Just when they were about to approach, the noise caused by tens of thousands of people outside the West City Gate was heard by a loud roar, "General, please wait for everyone to be silent."
After the roar stopped, there was another gong sound, and the people on the eastern periphery retreated one after another, and soon made way for a passage.
A group of Tang Dynasty cavalry with bright armor and majesty divided into two columns.
The horse comes slowly , followed by two rows of honor guards holding the "Avoid" and "Quiet" signs.
Zhao Ziliang rode an ulama, wore a red tassel helmet, and a lion's head shoulder pads and black bright light armor.
This made the young man slightly Appear mature.
"Hello, General Zhao" "General Zhao is mighty" Since Zhao Ziliang took office as the garrison's envoy in Diazhuai City, the military discipline of the garrison has undergone earth-shaking changes.
As a result, the people in Diazhuai City have never been harassed and harmed by the garrison soldiers.
Therefore, many people have a good impression of Zhao Ziliang. , he was welcomed by many people as soon as he appeared riding a BMW.
Zhao Ziliang was very excited when he saw people greeting him constantly along the way.
You must know that the eyes of the common people are sharp, but they are also very careless.
The common people only care about who is good to them, and they will love whoever is good to them.
Now these people are very friendly to him.
They express their recognition and support for him in this way.
What else can compare with this kind of reward?
Zhao Ziliang was riding on a horse, raising his hands to wave to the people on both sides as he walked, but most of the people still wanted to see how Zhao Ziliang would handle this matter.
Zhao Ziliang's ceremonial guard is still very powerful.
Although he is just a guerrilla general, he is the guardian of a city and the highest military officer of Gumo Prefecture.
Although the ceremony was somewhat majestic, many common people were frightened and trembled by the majesty of the honor guard.
They even backed away when they saw Zhao Ziliang's honor guard.
A platform had already been set up in the open space, and a shed was set up opposite the platform.
The officials and generals were sitting in the shed.
After Zhao Ziliang's guard of honor arrived, all the officials and generals stood up.
"general" "General" officials and generals all bowed their hands and saluted to greet Zhao Ziliang.
Zhao Ziliang jumped off the horse, threw the reins to the followers behind him, walked up to the stage and nodded to the officials and generals.
Pan Lengleng held his hands in front of the officials and said: "General Zhao, the time is just right.
General, please take a seat."
Zhao Ziliang walked to the main seat and sat down, waving his hand: "Come here, bring those seven bastards who bully the people."
When Wei Meng heard this, he immediately felt bad and was about to step forward to speak, but was held back by Deputy Lieutenant Liang Qi.

Sure enough, seven strong men were tied up and led to the stage.
They were pushed down by the soldiers behind them and knelt down in front of the people and soldiers.
Zhao Ziliang stood up and faced all the soldiers and civilians and said loudly: "Soldiers, among you are the Shule people, the Kucha people, the Chebi people, the Uighur people, the Tubo people, as well as the naturalized Tuqishi people, and among you are people from other tribes.
People, but you are all our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty now.
You are the same as the Han soldiers.
You have the same things that the Han soldiers have.
Han soldiers eat meat and drink alcohol.
No one has ever asked you to eat chaffy vegetables, right or wrong."
All the soldiers responded loudly: "Yes" Zhao Ziliang added: "Since it is like this to you, then the Tang Dynasty treats your family members and the people of the various tribes under its rule.
No one has ever separated you from the Han people.
We are all subjects of the Tang Dynasty. , this soldier is as close as a family, what tribe are you from, who are your parents, and what do you do for a living?"
Zuo, a soldier of the Tang Army who was pointed at by Zhao Ziliang, quickly replied: "General Qi, this villain is from Kucha, his parents are farmers, and he makes a living by farming for Mr.
Herbisch."
Zhao Ziliang pointed to another Tang Army soldier and asked: "Then which tribe are you from, who are your parents, and what do you do for a living?"
"The little man is from Shule, his parents are herdsmen, and he has more than a hundred cattle and sheep at home."
"Then your family should be well off, why do you want to join the army?"
"Because there are so many brothers and sisters in the family, even if we have so many cattle and sheep, we can't feed all of our brothers and sisters, so we just join the army to support ourselves."
Zhao Ziliang asked four or five soldiers in a row.
Everyone's situation was similar.
They were either farmers, herdsmen, or the sons of small traders.
Some families had fields and were considered self-cultivators, while others had no fields and could only He supports his family by cultivating land for the landlord.
"Very good" Zhao Ziliang continued: "It seems that the parents of most of you are common people, and the three families harmed by these seven bastards are also common people.
Is there any difference between ordinary people and ordinary people?
You seven bastards are bullying The three families are just like bullying your own parents, brothers and sisters.
If one day, your parents, brothers and sisters are bullied by the same bastards like you, how do you feel?
Please answer me."
The seven soldiers who were tied up and kneeling on the stage bowed their heads in shame after hearing Zhao Ziliang's words.
All the soldiers in the audience were shocked when they heard Zhao Ziliang's words.
"How different are you from bandits when you do such a thing?
Yesterday, our army just defeated the Tuqishi people.
Not even a night later, such a depressing thing happened.
How ironic that those who were frightened by the power of our army came to complain.
The sufferers, as well as the Governor's Mansion and the City Lord's Mansion, dared not speak out.
In order to calm the matter, the City Lord's Mansion had sent people to send money to the sufferers and sent them away.
Although the sufferers took the money and left, Is he really at ease?
Although they are no longer pursuing the matter, can we ourselves no longer pursue the matter?
Previously, the captain of the guard Chu Ge also advised this general, since the suffering master is no longer pursuing the case, then this matter can be reduced to a minor matter.
The trivial matters are gone, so I don’t have to be embarrassed, and the soldiers can breathe a sigh of relief.
But I want to ask, can you really get over the hurdle in your heart?"
Some of the seven people kneeling on the stage couldn't help crying.
It seemed that they regretted the wrong things they had done.
Zhao Ziliang said to all the soldiers: "Soldiers, we are soldiers, soldiers of the Tang Empire.
The Tang Empire is the most powerful and vast dynasty in history.
Even the Eastern Roman Empire and the Dashi Empire are thousands of miles away in the west.
The capital of the country sent envoys to come to perform Hajj.

I thought that I was living in such a great place.
I am proud of the empire and vow to protect her with my life and keep her prosperous and strong forever.
This is my belief.
I don’t ask you to be the same as me, but you must at least be worthy of the military pay and the armor on your body.
Since we are soldiers of the Tang Empire, we must not bring shame to her."
Having said this, Zhao Ziliang looked at the seven kneeling soldiers and asked: "You seven, do you have anything else to say?"
One of the leaders among the seven people cried bitterly: "General, the villain is guilty and deserves to die.
The villain knows that he will die today.
Please general, for the sake of the villain who still has some merits, don't treat the villain as such."
The news of his death because of such scandalous things should be told to his parents at home.
I don’t want my parents to be shamed by this villain.”
The other six people also cried bitterly and begged: "Yes, general, the villain knows that he will die, so please, general, please take some credit for us to hide our parents at home."
When Zhao Ziliang was about to speak, an official stood up at Pan's cold signal and said loudly: "General, as far as I know, although the seven of them are guilty, their crimes are not worthy of death, and before the expedition, the general also did not It seems unreasonable that the general wants to kill them now that no military regulations have been established.
I would like to ask the general to spare their lives in view of their meritorious service."
After hearing this, many officials stood up and begged for mercy, "Yes, yes, general, considering that they have some merit, please spare their lives."
These people had ulterior motives.
Zhao Ziliang's face turned cold, he snorted secretly, and immediately said loudly: "You are right, the general did not establish military regulations before the expedition, so they made mistakes.
This is the general's fault."
He is a soldier but does things that endanger the people.
He does not hesitate to die and obeys orders: First , these seven people were beheaded immediately, listed on the list of fallen soldiers, and their families were paid pensions; secondly, the guerrilla general and capture envoy Zhao Ziliang was negligent and failed to establish military regulations before the expedition, causing these seven people to commit crimes For the crime of infringing upon the common people, he will be beaten with sixty military sticks to serve as a warning to others, and then he can be executed."
Everyone was stunned for a while, and then shocked.
School captains Li Siye, Wei Meng, Huo Kan, Liang Qi, Lei Wu, Chen Biao, Li Wentong and others, as well as the governor of the prison, Shi Cui Jianlin, the judge and others all stood up and knelt down to beg.
Zhao Ziliang withdrew his order, and Cui Jianlin even said: "General, you must not do it.
Since ancient times, there has been no general who beats his own military stick.
The mistakes made by the seven of them are their own business and have nothing to do with the general."
Zhao Ziliang looked firm, waved his hands and said: "Cui Changshi, you and I both know that if this general hadn't established military regulations before going out, how could this happen?
Of course they themselves were at fault, but this general couldn't help but You don’t need to persuade me anymore.
In the army, only by setting an example and imposing military regulations on those who set them can the armed forces dare not disobey others and execute them.”
"Swish, swish, swish", blades of light flashed by, and seven heads fell to the ground.
The blood dyed the wooden guillotine and the white snow under the stage red.
Zhao Ziliang stripped off his upper body to only his white underwear and lay down on a bench.
Two soldiers beat him with wooden sticks as thick as his arms until the skin on his back was torn and blood flowed.
He gritted his teeth to prevent himself from making a sound when the sticks were struck. , but the severe pain made him groan
