Chapter 2057: Asking for Punishment
Jiaxing, Jiangnan Governor's Mansion, Kitchen Room.
The big spoon held a horse spoon, one spoonful at a time and another at the egg drop soup in the pot. His eyes were looking at the door uneasily, like a watchman's stone.
Finally, in his longing eyes, a maidservant came quickly carrying a food box. The big boss walked forward quickly with excitement and uneasiness, and asked anxiously, "How is it, how is it?" "Have you eaten, master?"
The maid shook her head, "Master said he had no appetite, so he asked me to bring it back and let us share it."
"Ah"
This result was actually expected by the master, but it was still very uncomfortable to hear the result.
“I didn’t eat last night. I heard that I stayed in the study all night and didn’t even sleep. I didn’t eat this morning and I didn’t eat at noon. I haven’t eaten or slept all day. How can my body bear the food?" Da Zhang Shao put down his horse spoon sadly and sighed repeatedly, long and short.
"Master, do you want to change the pattern and send it to me again?" the maid tried to ask.
"What do you know, little girl? The master always emphasizes frugality. We just made one meal. If we make another meal and send it to the master, it will be a waste. I don’t care whether the master eats it or not. , we are going to die.”
"Furthermore, since last night, I have been cooking Master's favorite dishes in different ways. Take today's dish of shrimp with fermented rice wine grains as an example. Normally, Master can eat at least half a bowl of rice, but today I don't even have chopsticks. "Move"
Da Zhangshao shook his head heavily.
"Then what should we do, master? I haven't eaten for three meals. If I don't eat anymore, my body will not be able to bear it. I am not a young man. When the time comes when the wife comes to investigate, how can we explain to the wife?" ”
The maid anxiously walked around the kitchen.
"How can this be blamed on us? What does it have to do with us? If you want to blame it, it's all the Japanese pirates, it's all the blame on the guy named Tu, it's all the blame on the guy named Li! It's spread all over the house, our master has given repeated orders, No magistrate is allowed without the master's order To mobilize troops, Tu disobeyed the master's order and directly mobilized the man named Li to fight the Japanese pirates without applying. As a result, the man named Li failed to live up to his expectations and destroyed all the three thousand Shandong spearmen assigned to him by the master. ”
Da Zhangshao defended quickly, and then angrily complained about Tu Dashan and Li Fengshi, the governor of Southern Zhili.
“Isn’t it just three thousand big-headed soldiers? Aren’t our masters in charge of many, many thousands of soldiers and horses?”
The maid scratched her head in confusion. Obviously, the master has many, many thousands of soldiers. As for the troops and horses, there are only three thousand soldiers missing. As for not eating for a day?
"Isn't it just three thousand big-headed soldiers? You little girl is really long-haired and short-sighted. What do you know? Do you know why the master transferred Shandong spearmen?"
The big boss is here The maid waved a large spoon in front of her and asked angrily.
The maid shook her head, how do I know? I'm not a big shot, I'm just a little maid serving tea and food
"The reason why the master transferred Shandong spearmen and Guangxi wolf soldiers is because we The local soldiers can't fight, they don't have much ability, and they can't compete with the Japanese pirates. He was beaten to a pulp in the first fight, so I specially brought in soldiers who can fight from outside, including this Shandong spearman. They are famous for their ability to fight!"
"But the result was that three thousand Shandong spearmen who could fight were defeated in one battle. The Japanese pirates killed not only the three thousand Shandong spearmen, but also everyone's confidence. If the specially mobilized guest soldiers were so useless, who else could deal with the Japanese pirates? The ground is rubbing."
"The master is mobilizing his troops and deploying his troops. The dragnet was prepared to wipe out the Japanese pirates in one fell swoop, but he was beaten in the head. "
"Do you think the master can not be angry! If I were the master, I would kill the surnamed people like the lyrics say. , at least the one named Li was dragged out and chopped up!”
The more the boss talked, the more excited he got, complaining about Zhang Jing. It was unreasonable for these people not to listen to the master.
"Master, that's what you said, but if the master is hungry and loses his health, our kitchen will be involved no matter what. What should we do now?" The maid did not understand such a big reason and was concerned. asked.
"First make a cup of ginseng tea and send it to the master to replenish it. I will think of a solution later." Da Zhang Shao scratched his head and said.
"Okay, I'll go to the warehouse to get some ginseng tablets." The maid said and ran away.
“Oh, it’s all the fault of the Japanese pirates, it’s all the blame on the guy surnamed Tu, it’s all the fault on the guy surnamed Li, I’m so angry”
The big boss has become Xianglin's wife.
While the boss was racking his brains to figure out how to get Zhang Jing to eat, the street outside the governor's office became lively.
In the twelfth lunar month of winter, with a biting north wind, a man appeared on the street. He was shirtless and had two bandages wrapped diagonally on his body. There were blood stains on the bandages, and he was carrying a bundle of canes on his back. , wearing a pair of open-toed straw sandals, walked step by step from the street to the Governor's Yamen.
"Who is that? Is there something wrong with his brain? He is shirtless in the winter, does he show off his muscles?!"
"What's going on, is this? What is this for?”
"What do you know? This is asking for forgiveness. Didn't you see the thorns on his back? He is really a cruel man. They are all thorns."
Since ancient times, Chinese people have loved to watch the excitement. It hasn’t changed. There are many people watching the excitement on both sides of the street, and there are even many people who are not too concerned about the excitement and are following along. People are pointing and talking together.
"Who is he? What wrong thing did he do? Where can he go to apologize?"
The people watching the excitement were curious about who this person was and what he was going to do. Where can I go to plead guilty?
“I don’t know, we will find out if we follow.”
People don't know the answer, but they know how to get the answer. It's very simple. Just follow it and you'll know.
So, everyone gathered around curiously and followed the shirtless man forward.
Walk and walk
Walk and walk
We are getting closer and closer to the Governor's Yamen, especially after passing one. In addition to the Governor's Yamen on this street, there is the Confucius Temple.
"Ah, he must be going to the governor's office to plead guilty, right?!" someone among the onlookers guessed.
You can’t just go to the Confucius Temple to apologize, right?
"I wonder if you are passing by?" People are not sure.
While they were guessing, the man who had taken the blame went straight towards the gate of the governor's office.
"The guilty general Li Fengshi betrayed the governor's trust and sent troops to attack the Japanese. The Japanese invaders ambush him, and he lost his troops and generals, almost wiping out the entire army. The guilty general knew that he had committed a serious crime, so he came here to plead guilty and ask the governor to punish him! "When he came to the gate of the Governor's Yamen, the man who was holding a thorn and begging for mercy knelt down on one foot, clasped his fists and apologized loudly inside.
