Chapter 186: Weeping and Beheading Ma Su

After burning the account books and buying a wave of people's hearts, Zhang Jie retired successfully.

Leaving the subsequent matters to Wang Lun, he began to patrol the Zhu Family Manor.

Zhang Jie: Before I recruited subordinates, I was busy;

after I recruited subordinates, I was still busy, so wasn't the recruitment in vain?

Zhang Jie decided to add more burdens to the shoulders of Wang Lun, Chen Wenyun, and the others.

"Good day, Zhang Zhaizhu."

Along the way, bold and active strong men gathered their courage to greet Zhang Jie.

"Good day to you all."

Zhang Jie responded with a gentle smile.

"It's good that I directly killed Old Master Zhu and the others!"

Zhang Jie, who was circling the Zhu Family Manor, felt more and more that his decision to let Wu Song directly snipe Zhu Hu and Zhu Biao was wise.

The alleys in this Zhu Family Manor turned and twisted, with shooting holes left at every commanding height,

and traps several feet deep set at the corners, with sharp bamboo pieces and wooden thorns inserted in the traps.

If the Zhu Family Manor still had a backbone, it wouldn't have been so easy for him to take it down.

"No!"

Suddenly, coming outside a residential house, a woman's voice of begging for mercy came.

Immediately following it were several men's lewd laughter and clamor:

"Little lady, just submit to us brothers!

This Zhu Family Manor is already our Liang Shan's.

Follow us brothers, and we guarantee you will eat well and drink well in the future!"

"Haha!"

"Let us brothers take care of you for your dead ghost husband."

"You can scream, but even if you scream until your throat breaks, no one will come to save you!

The people of your Zhu Family Manor have long been scared out of their wits by our Liang Shan's sharp edge!"

Rip!

Then, it was the sound of cloth and clothing being torn.

"Brother Wu Er, go and catch these degenerates for me!"

Listening to such iconic clamor and the sound of clothes being torn,

how could Zhang Jie not know what had happened? His face turned livid, and he ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes, Young Master!"

Wu Song, who also knew what had happened, had a stern face,

and led several personal guards straight to that residential house.

"We are all brothers, why are you disturbing us?"

After the first personal guard broke in, the people who were committing violence were furious.

"At worst, we'll add you to the mix. We are all brothers; if there is a bite of meat for the brother, there is a bowl of soup for you."

Someone wanted to laughingly pull the personal guard to "join the group."

"Wu, Leader Wu!"

But as Wu Song walked in, the people inside were instantly terrified.

Who on the entire Liang Shan didn't know that this Wu Erlang was one of the people most trusted by Liang Shan's master, Zhang Jie,

and was the leader of his personal guards who never left his side?

Wu Song was here, which meant Zhang Jie was also nearby!

"The Zhang Zhaizhu wants to see you!"

"Lord, the criminals have been brought."

Not long after, Wu Song escorted several disheveled soldiers to Zhang Jie.

Behind them, there was also a young lady whose appearance was not very outstanding,

but could be considered a girl next door, especially with a temperament as gentle as water.

Although the young lady's clothes were still tidy, her hair was messy, she was panting,

and her face was pale; she was clearly the victim who had almost been raped.

"Village, Zhang Zhaizhu!"

Several disheveled soldiers stammered in front of Zhang Jie, too nervous to even speak a complete sentence.

"Wang Er, how is Liang Shan's military law stipulated?"

Zhang Jie looked at the leading soldier with hatred for his failure to meet expectations.

This person was exactly the first person to stand up and respond to him when he went up to Liang Shan to pay military salaries.

He had high hopes for him and promoted him to the elite First Infantry Battalion,

and Wang Er did not live up to his expectations in the battalion,

ranking among the best in both training and learning after having enough nutritional supplements.

But Zhang Jie never thought that this Wang Er was gold and jade on the outside,

but rotten on the inside, and in his first official outing to fight,

he couldn't control the thing between his legs and committed the act of raping a woman.

"Village, Zhang Zhaizhu, according to Article 8, Law 3 of our Liang Shan military law,

those who rape women will be, beheaded!"

Wang Er stammered out the Liang Shan military law personally compiled by Zhang Jie.

"Since you know the consequences, go to the military judge to receive your punishment yourself."

Zhang Jie said with an expressionless face.

"Zhang Zhaizhu, Zhang Zhaizhu, please look at the merit of us fighting for you, spare our lives!"

Hearing that Zhang Jie wanted to behead them, the soldiers behind Wang Er begged repeatedly.

They wanted to kneel and beg for mercy, but unfortunately, the several personal guards holding them didn't indulge them.

And God knows if these degenerates who had no way out would do something outrageous.

To be on the safe side, several personal guards clamped the arms of the degenerates tightly, making them unable to move.

Zhang Jie closed his eyes in pain:

His super strength gave him super vision,

and he had seen the performance of these soldiers when they attacked the Zhu Family Manor before,

knowing that what they said was true; they were indeed brave in battle,

and had survived several times, indeed having merit to him, Zhang Jie, and merit to Liang Shan.

"But this is not the reason for you to violate military discipline!"

Zhang Jie opened his eyes suddenly, his face full of firmness:

101 said that in large-scale corps operations, military discipline must be strict!

If these degenerates were let go today, more soldiers would follow suit in the future!

Only by weeping and beheading Ma Su, and using their blood to warn others,

and letting others not dare to cross the thunder pool by even half a step, is this the way to long-term peace and stability.

Killing them today is to avoid killing hundreds or thousands of people in the future!

"Take them down and behead them!"

"No, Zhang Zhaizhu! No, Zhang Zhaizhu!"

Several degenerates struggled desperately.

And several personal guards escorted the degenerates even tighter.

Zhang Jie thought for a while and then spoke again:

"They can also be considered fierce warriors in my army..."

"Zhang Zhaizhu!"

Several degenerates thought Zhang Jie had changed his mind and wanted to spare their lives, full of hope.

Then they heard Zhang Jie continue:

"Just leave them a whole corpse, shoot them!"

"Zhang Zhaizhu, Zhang Zhaizhu!"

Several degenerates were ashen-faced and wanted to struggle and resist desperately,

but were directly carried away by the burly personal guards.

After seeing the degenerates off, Zhang Jie turned his gaze to the young lady who had almost been bullied and asked softly:

"Zhang Niangzi, are there any relatives at home?"

Well, although this young lady looked like she was only in her prime,

she had already coiled her hair into a bun, clearly she was already married.

Zhang Jie was not surprised by this; the Great Song was an ancient society,

and women could generally get married after they reached the age of fifteen.

So, it's not that Prime Minister Cao likes married women,

he just likes big sisters over 18, just like netizens in the 21st century~ ===== CHAPTER 187 =====
