Han Xiang

Chapter 30 Strike While the Iron Is Hot
When Long Xiang was a project manager in his previous life, he had dealt with several production safety accidents. What impressed him most was rescuing relatives of shareholders.

The cause of the incident was that during the dangerous work period, the supervisor sent by the owner's unit neglected his duties and left his post, and the construction team did not work in a standardized manner, resulting in one death and three injuries.

There are so many projects in various places every day, and safety production accidents often occur, so it is enough to control them well and deal with the aftermath.

But it is a pity that when the accident happened, the owner, the supervisor, and the person in charge of the construction were not there. The accident situation spread quickly, and the provincial safety supervision department was alarmed on the same day, and the safety supervision investigation team was stationed at the scene the next day. .

The person in charge of the construction project is a relative of the shareholder of the company where Long Xiang works. The construction management time involved in the project is short, and he lacks experience in dealing with emergencies.

Originally, all parties involved in the accident were responsible, and it was the owner who was most at fault. Because the owner had a close relationship with the investigation team, they deliberately favored each other when collecting evidence and wanted to shift all responsibilities to the construction party.

When Long Xiang arrived at the venue, the workers involved were like quails, obsequious in front of a group of leaders, without even the ability to clarify the facts. In the end, Long Xiang dared to slap the table and fight hard, and won the victory of all parties. The right to speak in fair negotiations.

The situation is almost the same now, the soldiers under Long Xiang's command are equivalent to the workers, and Tang Yu acts as the table beater, and what he says is the truth of the accident.

Long Xiang returned to the big tent in the camp and knelt down on one knee in front of Qiao Rui.

"Apologizing? I'm afraid it's not so easy. If I knew it would be no good to follow Han Yin, I should have rejected it decisively. It's all my fault." Qiao Rui looked at Long Xiang and felt guilty.

"I carry the cane on my back to let the general beat him out of his anger, and punish him as he pleases. The general knows that he has committed a serious crime and dare not hope to get away with it easily."

Long Xiang said in his heart that he was being targeted by Han Yin. I am afraid that the general may not be able to push him away easily. At this time, he should say the more serious the better. After all, a big mistake has been made, and he can only seek compensation in his attitude.

"How to deal with Yunqi is ultimately up to the Lord to decide, but you are the orphan of a loyal martyr, so your life must be saved, so get up and tell me the story in detail." Qiao Rui bent down and helped Long Xiang up.

"Thank you, General." Long Xiang hurriedly stood up and saluted, and then told Qiao Rui the well-prepared lines word by word.

After hearing this, Qiao Rui frowned, stroked his beard and murmured: "Since someone targeted the grain ship, Yunqi is not the only one to blame. Yesterday Han Yin sent a letter from Xiapi saying that Lu Bu suspected Chen Yu of breaking the marriage, and his nephew Chen Deng He also bribed with property, trying to frame Yunqi for colluding with Liu Bei."

"Ah, the final general has no grievances or enmities with Chen Deng."

Long Xiang was startled when he heard this, and said in his heart that he had never met you, Chen Dengsu, and you actually wanted to borrow a knife to kill someone?Fortunately, Han Yin was in the same boat as me, otherwise this little life would have been confessed.

"Yun Qi is young, and there are many intrigues and deceptions in the world. How can there be hatred for no reason? It is nothing more than self-interest. Don't worry about Yun Qi, I will protect your life. It's just that the lord is angry now, and maybe he will take away Yun Qi's military position. Anyway, the worst thing is to be relegated to farming, although it’s hard work, but you don’t have to go to the battlefield to fight, and it’s also in line with your gentle personality.” Qiao Rui nodded while stroking his beard.

As soon as Long Xiang heard that he was really going to be demoted to become a tenant farmer and farm, his early planning was in vain, and he could not tell if he would die of exhaustion in the field one day, or die of exhaustion on the way to the corvee.

"It is said that the son inherits his father's business, and the general would rather be severely punished than retain his status as a military household. Please make it possible, general." Long Xiang bowed down on one knee again.

Qiao Rui frowned and smiled wryly, thinking, don't you like to hide from wars?I will take the opportunity to leave you in the field, but you are still unwilling?What is on your mind?
"Since that's the case, let the lord decide." Qiao Rui shook his head lightly.

Long Xiang clasped his fists above his head, and asked for instructions: "The last general will take the blame and ask the general to use military law to complete it. This way, he can establish his prestige in the camp and show his attitude to the lord."

"Military law? It's outrageous without it, can twenty army sticks stand it?"

"The general is willing to accept it."

Qiao Rui's black eyes rolled, and he called Li Tun from outside the tent and said, "Take Long Xiang to the camp and wait. I'll go to the city and find some generals to watch the ceremony. Then I'll hit twenty army sticks in public."

"only."

Li Tun was stunned when he heard this, he understood that Qiao Rui was beating for outsiders to see, and the military sticks for the meeting would not be fake, but it's a pity that Long Xiang's delicate skin and tender back would be beaten to pieces.

At the turn of Shenyou, the autumn wind suddenly picked up.

Long Xiang was already in a coma after being beaten with twenty army sticks, but on the way back to the barracks while being carried on his back by Tang Yu, the golden wind poured into his blood-red robes, it felt like sprinkling salt.

"Tsk, it hurts me too." Long Xiang didn't shout out just now when he was beaten, but when he woke up, his scalp was numb from the pain.

Tang Xie slowed down after hearing this, and muttered questioningly: "I heard from Li Huwei just now that Yunqi asked for the twenty army sticks. Why did you do this? I won't talk nonsense in front of the supervisor. "

Long Xiang didn't answer, but only urged in pain: "Uncle Xie, let's go faster, the wind outside is like a knife, my nephew is hurting."

"Can it not hurt? The back is already bloody, and I don't know why." Tang Xi was angry while walking.

Long Xiang endured the pain, and whispered in Tang Yu's ear, "If you don't eat this beating, the brothers will have a hard time. If they are all demoted to become tenant farmers, the consequences will be unimaginable. Do you understand that it's miserable?"

"Ah, I can save it"

Tang Yu was very moved when he heard it, and he quickened his steps unconsciously, thinking that the reason why Long Xiang did this was entirely for the sake of his brothers, if he didn't entrust his life to him, how could he be worthy of the blood on his back.

Long Xiang was publicly beaten with [-] army sticks. The generals who watched the ceremony praised Qiao Rui's strictness in running the army. The news spread to the ears of many officials, and they temporarily gave up their plans to add insult to injury.

After Qiao Rui finished beating Long Xiang, he immediately went to see Yuan Shu while the iron was hot. He knew that it would be best to intercede now.

The purpose of Yuan Shu's marriage with Lu Bu was firstly to find an ally for future emperorship, and secondly to eliminate an opponent for the crusade against Liu Bei, so even if the grain ship was burned, his focus was not all on Long Xiang.

As soon as Qiao Rui walked to the door, the guards stopped him, saying that Yuan Shu was meeting guests inside and asked Qiao Rui to wait for a while.

After waiting for a stick of incense, Wu Jing walked out from the hall with his head held high.

Qiao Rui suddenly remembered Long Xiang's inference, saying that Sun Ce had ambitions and commanded a large army. As long as Yuan Shu became emperor in the future, Sun Ce might rebel.

Isn't Wu Jing in Jiangdong?When did you return to Shouchun?Do you want to remind the lord to keep this person in Shouchun as a hostage, so that Sun Ce can make a fool of himself.

Qiao Rui cupped his fists to return the salute, and when he saw Yuan Shu smiling, he thought that the timing he had found was really good.

"My lord, I will see your face glowing red at the end. Could it be that General Ji captured Xiaopei?"

"Liu Bei has only three thousand troops, Ji Ling broke the city only in the morning and evening, Wu Jing has just brought good news, Sun Bofu has captured Kuaiji, and Sun Wentai gave birth to a good son."

Qiao Rui asked with doubts on his face: "Why do you need General Wu to come in person for such a trivial matter as passing the news of victory? Could it be that Sun Bofu has something to do?"

Yuan Shu was taken aback for a moment, then jokingly said, "General Qiao has been studying recently? He actually knows how to infer other things from one example, not bad, not bad"
