As Yang Gui finished his last words, three or four men carrying swords rushed forward. Two of them twisted Zhan Ruilong's arms, and the other two tied him up with a rope.
Zhan Ruilong did not resist, but just shouted:
"Yang Gui, I want to see what you can do to me! You give in to the government in every possible way, but you treat your own brothers You are being domineering and domineering. If this continues, we will not accept you..."
Dongfang Ying and Mingchuan Rongmei saw that the incident happened suddenly and unexpectedly, and they were a little at a loss for a while. They didn't know how to interrupt. We can only wait and see what happens, after all, this is an internal dispute within the gang.
The other members of the Red Flag Society, such as Master Ke Xiang and several leaders, were also stunned for a moment. Although Ke Baisui was on good terms with Zhan Ruilong, he did not stop them in time.
Firstly, Yang Gui is the helmsman of the branch and their immediate boss. Secondly, Zhan Ruilong is too presumptuous. No wonder Yang Gui is furious.
Yang Gui sneered and said:
"The ability to convince the public depends on strict law enforcement. If a reckless man like you is allowed to run rampant, regardless of the overall situation, and harm his colleagues, then This is the biggest dereliction of duty and a further breach of trust among all brothers!”
“Guardian Zhong, how should Zhan Ruilong be dealt with according to the rules of the association?” He turned to the man wearing a red armband next to Ke Baisui and asked, and the Protector of the Bell answered without hesitation:
"Return to the helmsman: Any disciple of our association who disobeys orders and acts without authorization will The crime is worthy of thirty lashes;
"The crime of contradicting a superior and being disrespectful is worthy of fifty lashes;
"The crime of killing a fellow disciple and betraying a brother is a heinous crime, ranging from three knives to six holes. , and expelled from the door wall; in severe cases, beheaded and abandoned in the wilderness."
Everyone was shocked and moved. Even Dongfang Ying and Mingchuan Rongmei looked at each other. Yang Ruli said solemnly:
p>
"Then what are you waiting for? Call the headquarters congregation immediately and execute it in public on this ten-foot square!"
Protector Zhong clasped his fists and obeyed the order, and was about to go to ring the bell to summon the congregation up and down the mountain. Ke The incense master frowned, and finally stretched out his hand to stop Protector Zhong, and said:
"Protector Zhong, wait a minute, there is still room for change in this matter, how about I intercede with the helmsman?"
Protector Zhong is the number one confidant of the helmsman who enforces the sect rules. He is only responsible for the helmsman. He did not answer at the moment and turned to look at Yang Gui.
Yang Gui also seemed to be giving Ke Baisui face, and said in a slow tone:
"Master Ke Xiang has something to say, but there is no harm in saying it."
Ke Baisui cupped his hands and said:
"Master, although you are still young and have only been in the position of helmsman for a short time, for more than a year, you have worked hard to expand the number of people and improve the discipline of the helm, so that we can go south." It is obvious to all the brothers that sharing the helm leads to prosperity.
"Brother Ruilong misunderstood the helmsman in this way. It must be because he is short-sighted. It's him.It was his fault for speaking without restraint.
"But he has such a straightforward temperament, and he treats all of us the same way. It is not simply disrespectful to you;
"And the action last month, Rui Brother Long was also excusable. At that time, the government's hawks and dogs slaughtered the people and violated the women of the people. Brother Ruilong happened to meet him and stopped him, only to be accidentally captured.
"Although it resulted in the death of the accompanying disciples and the failure of the planned action, if other members of our congregation encountered such a thing, how could we turn a blind eye? What else would our purpose do?
p>
"So he disobeyed orders and acted without authorization, let alone the serious crime of killing his fellow disciples and betraying his brothers. I would like to ask the helmsman to take a closer look and give Coach Zhan a lenient sentence and a slight punishment." . "
Yang Gui found it almost difficult to refute his well-founded and well-rounded words. Dongfang Ying also nodded secretly, admiring the sophistication and tact of Master Ke Xiang. < /p>
Several other leaders and several people who escaped from the quarry with Zhan Ruilong also took the opportunity to kneel down and plead with Yang Gui to give Zhan Ruilong a lighter punishment.
Yang Gui glanced at the people begging for mercy, sighed, and said to them:
"Get up! What Master Ke Xiang said makes sense. Zhan Ruilong may have extenuating circumstances. For the sake of Master Ke Xiang and all the brothers, I can give him a lighter punishment. "
Ke Baisui and everyone heaved a sigh of relief and stood up one after another. Yang Gui glanced at Zhan Ruilong and saw that he held his head high and his chest closed, looking very arrogant and arrogant. Then he said:
"But the failure of the last operation and the death of four brothers were ultimately caused by him, and Zhan Ruilong cannot escape the blame.
"Protector Zhong, the punishment for Zhan Ruilong has been halved. There is no need for three knives and six piercings. Instead, one knives and two piercings are used to atone for sins with blood to express gratitude for the souls of the dead brothers in heaven."
"Yes! "
Protector Zhong pulled out a two-foot-long sharp knife and said to the law enforcement disciples:
"Push over and I will execute you personally under the meeting flag."
Ke Baisui and the group of people who interceded for Zhan Ruilong couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. They didn't expect that Yang Gui would still punish Zhan Ruilong like this. However, compared to the previous punishment, it was indeed a lot lighter, and everyone couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. There is something to be said.
I can only hope that Zhan Ruilong has a strong body and can handle it.
Zhan Ruilong opened his eyes, with no fear on his face, and said with a smile:
"Hey, Yang, you only have this little courage, let alone give me a knife." , even if it’s really three swords and six holes, I, Blacksmith Zhan, frowned, and I’m not a good man!”
He strode towards the flagpole in front of the square, and the four law enforcement disciples and the guardian Zhong were closely guarded. Follow behind.
Mingchuan Rongmei glanced at Dongfang Ying and whispered:
p>"You don't care about it? Are you just watching the big man being punished?"
As a martial artist, how could Dongfang Ying not know the meaning of "one knife, two holes"? He often creates a "transparent hole" for the enemy, which is a serious injury that penetrates the body. He immediately grits his teeth and shouts:
"No execution, no one is allowed to touch him!"
< p> Everyone was shocked and looked at Dongfang Ying with wide eyes. Yang Gui was also stunned, stared at the heroine, waved and shouted:"Guardian Zhong, wait a moment, Dongfang heroine He is our distinguished guest, let’s hear what she has to say.”
The Protector Zhong immediately agreed and suspended the execution.

Dongfang Ying stared at Yang Gui's face and said:
"Brother Yang, we are all brothers in his gang, why do we have to do this?
"Zhan ... Coach Zhan has finally escaped from the prison of the government. You said you were very happy and wanted to serve him wine... How can you say that you fall out with each other all the time? How can you be a helmsman like this? "
Yang Gui said with a sullen face:
"Dongfang, this code is one code. Coach Zhan survived the catastrophe. As a disciple of the Red Flag Society, I should celebrate his success. ;
"But the past mistakes are certain and unavoidable.
"You should understand that the gang rules are ruthless and military law is ruthless. If I don't punish him, the rewards and punishments will be unclear and the merits and demerits will not be recognized. , how to lead subordinates and give orders in the future? There is no need for the government to encircle and suppress us, we will disperse on our own. "
Dongfang Ying also knew that he was right, but she just said:
"Then I don't care. Anyway, I tried my best to rescue Coach Zhan and the others, so I'm not allowed to You touch him.
"It is said that military law is ruthless, and rewards and punishments are given for merit and crime, but I have also heard of the idea of offering merit for crime. Why can't we let him take advantage of his crime and perform meritorious service, and wait until the merit and demerit are balanced in the future? "
"This..."
Yang Gui couldn't help but feel angry and funny, but there was nothing he could do about her. He didn't want to lose his authority in front of his subordinates. Not wanting to make her angry, he immediately asked Protector Zhong:
"Protector Zhong, does it say in our guild rules that those who violate the guild rules can be punished by meritorious deeds, and their merits can be converted into offences?"
Hearing his gentle tone, Protector Zhong could not understand what his immediate superior meant, so he muttered:
"Return to the helmsman: It is clearly stated in the rules of the association that if the crime is committed, the punishment will be punished." If it is a minor crime, it is not among the unpardonable crimes. If the elders of the association vouch for it and the person takes an oath, the crime and punishment can be recorded temporarily, allowing for meritorious service in the future to offset the punishment as appropriate."
Yang Gui sighed. :
"Well, since there is such a stipulation, let's give this guy another chance.
"But I have something to say first, there must be a veteran in the meeting for Zhan.Ruilong guarantees it, and he himself must make an oath to make it clear.
"The elder of our place, Lord Ke Xiang, is old. Will Lord Ke Xiang be willing to vouch for Zhan Ruilong?"
He asked knowingly, Ke Baisui and Zhan Ruilong It was a life-and-death friendship, so naturally he was willing to vouch for Zhan Ruilong, and if he refused to change despite repeated admonitions, he was willing to be punished.
But when it was Zhan Ruilong's turn to plead guilty and swear an oath to promise not to repeat the crime again in the future and to work hard to make contributions to the gang, Zhan Ruilong said nothing.
No one expected that Zhan Ruilong was so strong and refused to give in. Even if Yang Gui wanted to spare him, he would not be able to get down the stairs.
Seeing this scene, Dongfang Ying was also convinced and couldn't help but pointed at him and cursed:
"Are you stupid? People say that a good man doesn't suffer the consequences of his eyes. You It's good, the rocks in the pit are smelly and hard, aren't you asking for trouble?
"Thanks to everyone for interceding for you, why don't you understand? Is it so difficult to admit a mistake? "
Zhan Ruilong finally said:
"Woman, you saved my life. If you ask me to admit my mistakes and surrender to you, I won't say anything;
"Brother Ke is highly respected, and I am willing to admit my mistakes to him;
"But if you want me to admit my mistakes and bow my head to Yang Gui, there is no way! "
Dongfang Ying was really angry when she saw such a stubborn man for the first time. However, she liked such a tough man in her heart. She nodded with a hard heart and said:
< p> "Okay, are you strong-boned? Isn't it just two holes with one sword? I don't allow others to touch you. I will do it myself and give you a sword to make you happy! "Then he pushed away the protector Zhong with one palm, pulled out the long sword from behind, pointed it at Zhan Ruilong's right leg, and stabbed it in.
Zhan Ruilong smiled and said:
p>"Okay, if it is the Oriental Heroine who takes action, not to mention one sword, but ten swords, I will feel comfortable! "
Unexpectedly, Yang Gui shouted loudly:
"Wait a minute! Xiaoying, don’t do anything!
Dongfang Ying held her sword motionless, turned to look at Yang Gui, and asked:
"Then you let him go, right?" "
Yang Gui said seriously:
"How can the rules of the association allow for childish play? If Zhan Ruilong doesn't take an oath to make meritorious service to the Red Flag Society, he won't be able to clear his name, and he will definitely suffer this blow.
"But I have thought of a way, maybe he can accept it. Are you willing to listen?"
Dongfang Ying nodded quickly:
"Okay, Tell me what you can do."
Yang Gui stared at Zhan Ruilong and said:
"Zhan Ruilong, this helmsman has assigned you a task to protect Dongfang, the noble man of our Red Flag Society. The heroine and her family will go north safely. If this matter is done well, thenIt's a great feat, can you do it? "
"What..."
Zhan Ruilong, Dongfang Yingming, Chuan Rongmei, including Ke Baisui, Zhong Hufa and others were all stunned for a moment and looked at Yang blankly. Gui, looking confused.
