"This humble servant dares not do that, this humble servant knows his mistake!"
"Do you truly acknowledge your mistake?"
"This humble servant truly knows his mistake and will never dare to do it again. Please punish me, young master."
"good!"
After speaking, Xu Shuyu waved his hand.
"Considering that you have served the country and guarded the borders with great merit, we will not pursue your families. Just commit suicide to atone for your sins."
Upon hearing this, the Xiliang soldiers were all startled.
The onlookers were also stunned, wondering to themselves if the punishment was too harsh.
"What, aren't you going to carry it out? Are you planning a rebellion?"
Seeing that the group of Xiliang soldiers had not made a move for a long time, Xu Shuyu gave a soft shout.
The next moment, the leading Xiliang soldier immediately saluted Xu Shuyu, then bowed to the surrounding crowd and gave a bitter smile.
"Everyone, we are so sorry. We made a fool of ourselves. We apologize!"
Then, he took a deep breath, decisively drew his military knife from his waist, and slashed it across his own neck.
Amid gasps of surprise from the onlookers and a surge of intense emotion, his body slowly collapsed.
The remaining Xiliang soldiers also drew their swords and resolutely committed suicide to atone for their sins.
Without any hesitation, without the slightest retreat.
The onlookers who witnessed this scene were so shocked that they trembled with fear.
The young woman, however, had a faint smile on her lips, showing no sign of nervousness or fear whatsoever.
Xu Shuyu, seated on horseback, bowed to the surrounding crowd and said, "I apologize, everyone. It's all my fault for not disciplining them properly; please forgive my poor upbringing."
Our border troops in Sichuan and Liangzhou place the utmost importance on military discipline. They violated military law and deserved this punishment. We hope everyone will forgive them!
"Excellent! Well done, Young Master Xu!"
Someone shouted out first, and instantly the entire street erupted in thunderous cheers.
The old man's ears twitched slightly, and all he heard were flattering words like, "Young Master Xu is decisive in his actions and has strict military discipline. He truly deserves to be called the Iron Army of the Xu Family of Sichuan."
Sigh~
Looking at the four Xiliang soldiers lying in a pool of blood, the old man couldn't help but sigh softly.
He didn't see this as some kind of bullshit "rectification of military discipline," but rather as a means to win people's hearts.
This is to tell you that the Xu family dares not touch those whom the royal family would not dare to touch. If you want justice, you can only follow the Xu family.
It seems that the Xu family has truly become all-powerful. Such a serious matter as killing someone in the street, yet the entire city's patrol department didn't dare to utter a single word, and even watched Xu Shuyu leave with forced smiles on their faces.
Let's go.
The carriage continued its journey, leaving the bustling streets behind, and arrived at a post station.
"Alright, I'll leave you here. The rest is up to you."
"Thank you very much, sir."
The old man jumped off the carriage, bid farewell to the driver, and walked directly towards a leather goods shop at a corner not far away.
