Return to the month before the end of the world

After the soldiers left, a woman near Mr. Shangguan said disdainfully: "Dad, he's just a soldier. Why are you so polite to him?"

There was a "pop" sound, and Mr. Shangguan slapped her hard.

"dad!"

"Shut up. If you dare to talk nonsense again, get out of Shangguan's house. The same goes for you."

The other Shangguan family members around him suddenly fell silent, knowing that the old man was really angry this time.

A few minutes later, the soldier trotted back and said, "Mr. Shangguan, the general is waiting for you inside. Come with me."

"Thank you, little brother." Mr. Shangguan said politely.

"Too polite."

Mr. Shangguan followed the guards and shuttled through the city lord's palace.

They saw many soldiers busy moving things, and many people were brought back.

Arriving at the living room, the guard stretched out his hand and said, "Please, general, they are waiting for you inside."

The old man Shangguan was a little confused, but he didn't think too much at this time. He thanked the guard and walked in.

As soon as he walked into the house, he saw a pair of golden boys and girls. He instantly knew the identity of the other party, Zhan Beizun and Xiao Chan from Peach Blossom Spring.

"It turns out it's Senior Shangguan, please take a seat." Zhan Beizun and Xiao Chan stood up and said with a smile.

The old man Shangguan waved his hands hurriedly and said: "Don't dare, don't dare, General Zhan has a bright future. How can I, a man who is about to die, have the dignity to be called a senior?"

"Senior, you are joking. You are an old man in the army. When I came here, I was specifically told to visit you. However, there were many things going on and I was unable to visit you in person." Zhan Beizun said with a smile.

Mr. Shangguan and Zhan Beizun were sitting at the top, Xiao Chan was sitting on Zhan Beizun's side, and the rest of the Shangguan family were sitting on Mr. Shangguan's side.

"To be honest, I came here to ask for something." Mr. Shangguan said politely.

"Senior, you're welcome. If you have any questions, you can just tell me. As long as I can help, I will definitely help." Zhan Beizun said with a smile.

The old man Shangguan sighed and said: "Isn't it because of my stupid son? I told Wan not to get involved, but he was taken away by the soldiers. I don't know what happened?"

"There is still this matter. Someone, please ask Sun Limin to come to my place."

"Yes."

"Is it possible that General Zhan doesn't know?" Mr. Shangguan asked curiously.

"To be honest, senior, I really don't know. I asked my subordinates to take charge of this matter and finally summarized it for me. I still don't know the specific situation?"

Soon, deputy Sun Limin hurried over in a hurry. When he saw Shangguan's family, he immediately understood.

"Is anyone from the Shangguan family involved?"

"Yes, Shangguan Ru and several others provided support for the troublemakers, and the evidence is conclusive." Sun Limin said.

Mr. Shangguan stood up and shouted angrily: "This traitor."

"Anything else?"

"There are still some other issues under investigation, and it is estimated that it will take some time." Sun Limin said.

"I know, you go down first."

After Sun Limin left, Zhan Beizun smiled bitterly and said, "Senior, you have posed a problem for me."

The old man Shangguan was a little resentful. Who asked them to explain their loss?

At this time, a young man couldn't help but said: "What's so difficult about this? We're not really involved, and besides, it's not your business to say a word?"

Zhan Beizun's face turned cold and he said to Mr. Shangguan: "Old man, is this what you mean?"

"They are my family after all." Mr. Shangguan said with some embarrassment.

Zhan Beizun stood up and said angrily: "Old man, I respect you because you made great contributions to the country when you were young, but I can't help you this time, otherwise I won't be able to explain to the hundreds of people who died, you Please come back."

"So many casualties?"

"This is only the number of dead people currently counted. There are many more injured or missing. It is estimated that the number of casualties is at least Shanggan." Xiao Chan said.

The old man Shangguan was stunned for a moment. He never imagined that the losses in this incident would be so great, and that the Shangguan family was also involved. This was not a pure attempt to commit suicide.

At this time, he didn't know how to speak. As a retired soldier, he couldn't stand those who regarded the common people as trivial.

"I can't help with this matter, I'm sorry." Zhan Beizun said.

"I, alas, forget it, it's all their fault. No wonder you, it's me who made the trouble unreasonably." Mr. Shangguan said a little lonely.

"I can choose to turn a blind eye to some things, but this matter has violated my bottom line. No matter who it is, they will be punished accordingly."

Mr. Shangguan left with the others, and before leaving the city lord's mansion, a few more people were missing from the team.

How many of these families are clean? If you want to check, you can basically check them out.

Mr. Shangguan was lucky because he was able to meet Zhan Beizun by virtue of his identity, while many others could not even meet him.

Speaking of which, Mr. Shangguan was really Zhan Beizun's predecessor. Both of them once belonged to a special department.

But later on, Mr. Shangguan chose to demobilize, and Zhan Beizun came before that time.

In the evening, Zhan Beizun finally saw the results of the day. A total of more than [-] people were arrested. In addition to those who directly participated in the trouble, most of them were people like Shangguan Ru who helped.

However, this is not the final number. There are still many fish that have slipped through the net and it will take time to catch them.

However, the gates of Chaoyang City are currently closed, and it is basically impossible for these people to escape.

The military is firing on all cylinders, arresting people for interrogation and verification, etc., striving to handle this matter as soon as possible.

Zhan Beizun didn't intend to handle it so lightly. He didn't intend to let anyone involved in this matter go. Only in this way could Chaoyang City develop stably.

For example, in the Shangguan family, Shangguan Ru and others were arrested because of their participation in this incident, while those who were subsequently arrested were for other issues.

The most important thing next was how to impose punishment. He referred to the laws that were revised before his death, so that these people would get the punishment they deserved.

After asking the opinions of people around him, Zhan Beizun finally made a decision.

Anyone who causes injury or death to others in urban chaos and commits heinous crimes will be sentenced to death.

For other minor crimes, different levels of punishment will be given according to each person's situation. Most of the punishments are mainly reform through labor.

For example, Shangguan Ru, because of his participation in this incident, although he was not directly involved, his sin was not small.

Therefore, those who were sent to a training camp to work as warehouse guards were allowed to see their families once a month. If they behaved well, the punishment could be reduced as appropriate. .
