Chapter 323: Catching a Chicken by Mistake
Seeing Feng Dingbang bring back a young woman, Zhu Youcheng was unimpressed. Feng Dingbang is young and golden, and he is full of masculinity, so it is common to attract a few young women.
Anyway, Feng Dingbang is still a golden bachelor now, and nothing can happen.
Looking at the tall walls of Changsha City, Zhu Youcheng ordered to go around the city.
Changsha is one of the largest cities in Huguang Province, and there are many officials in it.
Originally, this was also a common thing in officialdom, but Zhu Youcheng was like an arrow and couldn't afford to delay time.
It was almost noon, and Zhu Youcheng camped outside Changsha City.
Because it was a temporary camp, the Jinyi guard did not set up a camp, but only surrounded the carriage in a circle to protect the baggage and non-combatants in case someone sneaked up on them. In addition, there are also open whistles, dark whistles, and mobile whistles.
Speaking of the current Jinyi Guard, almost all of them are wearing summer clothes and Hanfu, even the people on duty are no exception.
Originally, Zhu Youcheng only approved non-duty personnel to wear summer clothes and Hanfu, but the weather was too hot, and there were people suffering from heat stroke in the Jinyi Guard. He had to approve that all personnel could wear summer clothes as long as they had them.
But that's okay, Zhu Youcheng's purpose in designing Hanfu summer clothes is to benefit Daming, so he "swaggered through the market" all the way, which invisibly played a role in promotion, which was in line with his mind.
Jin Yiwei's lunch is simple, noodles only. However, there is beef in it, and it is fragrant.
But no matter how delicious it is, I can't stand it even after eating it for many days.
Zhu Youcheng is fine, but King Xin has a chopstick listlessly. I ate without a single chopstick.
There is still Zhu Youcheng by his side, if it weren't for him, King Xin might not even be able to eat a bite.
Suddenly. Shin Wang's nose moved, and he said happily, "It smells like roast chicken." Who got this? Quickly bring it to the king, and you will be rewarded with a lot of money. ”
"Here we are." With a shout, Jin Yong came over with a roast chicken. Ho, what a big pheasant, this is a pheasant that grew up eating something, and it's so fat.
Jin Yong smiled and said, "My lord, His Royal Highness King Xin." After eating noodles in a row for the past few days, I'm afraid that the two adults have faded out of their mouths. So, I went with Gu Long and them to catch pheasants. We caught seven or eight in a row. This is one of the fattest pheasants, and we dedicate it to you so that you can also improve your life. ”
The king of letters was overjoyed, and jumped out with a "whoosh". Take the roast chicken.
Zhu Youcheng did not stop him. There is nothing utilitarian about this gift. Full of respect and trust for himself, how could he refuse.
Zhu Youcheng asked, "Where did you catch such a big pheasant?" ”
Jin Yong replied casually: "By the rice field." Master Zhu, you don't know how stupid the pheasants are here, let's catch them, they don't fly, they just run. You say, "Where can pheasants outrun?" We caught a lot of them one by one. It's because we go with fewer people. If there are too many people, I am afraid that the pheasants here will be wiped out. But. These are enough, if you really catch the extinction, what will the people in the future grasp? ”
Zhu Youcheng slapped his forehead with his hand speechlessly, where is this pheasant, it is clearly a domestic chicken. However, what kind of family is this, the chickens are not locked in the yard, but put in the field, and they are caught by these few people who don't know the world.
"Do you remember the military discipline of Jinyiwei?" Zhu Youcheng asked solemnly.
Seeing Zhu Youcheng's performance, how could Jin Yong not know that he had made a big mistake.
He replied, "Yes...... Know. ”
"What should I do if I steal from the people?"
"Punish ten sticks and return the property. If there is damage to the property, then the compensation will be made according to the price. But Master Zhu, we didn't steal anything from others. I admit that I, the new Ming people, are indeed very poor, but we are innocent and poor, and we never take other people's things. ”
"He also said that he didn't take anything from others." Zhu Youcheng was not angry, he knew that Jin Yong had indeed mistaken the chicken for a pheasant, which was why he had violated military discipline.
He patiently explained: "This chicken is not a pheasant, but a domestic chicken. The plains are not as small as the mountains, the number of pheasants is quite small, and the number of domestic chickens is large. Besides, have you ever seen a pheasant that can't fly? ”
Jin Yong's face turned white, he understood that Jinyiwei's military discipline was very strict.
Zhu Youcheng saw that he knew his mistake, so he said gently: "Although you are unintentionally evil, military discipline cannot be abolished. You take the soldiers who catch chickens with you to the military judge, and take ten military sticks for yourself. As for the compensation, since you have not yet received your military pay, the official will pay for you. In the future, follow the veterans of the Jinyi Guard, learn from them, and don't make mistakes again. ”
Jin Yong went out dejectedly.
Zhu Youcheng called the guards again and asked him to inform the military judge to find the owner as soon as possible and compensate him for double the price of the chicken.
King Xin swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked, "Brother Cheng, what should I do with this roast chicken?" ”
"What else can I do? I ate it. ”
"There is a saying: 'Those who are aspirant do not drink the water of the stolen spring, and those who are inexpensive do not drink the food that comes from them.'" Can you eat this stolen chicken? "King Xin wanted to eat, but he also felt that it was against the way of a gentleman, so he was in a dilemma.
"Didn't we give compensation? Since compensation was given, it was the chicken that was bought, and it was ready to eat. Our compensation is not low, enough to buy two chickens. Alas, this chicken is really expensive. Eat it, the expensive chicken should be a little tastier. ”
King Xin thought about it, it seemed to be such a reason, and happily grabbed the roast chicken, "bar" is a mouthful.
After taking a bite, Shin Wang suddenly stopped.
Zhu Youcheng asked with concern, "What's wrong?" A check. ”
King Xin smiled embarrassedly and said, "Brother Cheng, I accidentally forgot about you." ”
As he spoke, he tore off half of the roast chicken, handed it to Zhu Youcheng and said, "Good brother, there are blessings and thoughts, but there are difficulties...... Blah, there is no such thing. ”
Zhu Youcheng's heart warmed, King Xin really had nothing to say to him, and he thought about his brother in everything.
Zhu Youcheng took the roast chicken and took a bite.
After a few chews, he couldn't help but pout. It's just a tyrannical thing, and the roast chicken, which should have been very delicious, was really unpalatable enough to be made by the four knights.
The trouble of roasting the chicken was not quickly resolved, and just as the Jinyi guard was about to leave the camp, there was a fierce noise ahead.
Zhu Youcheng, as the supreme commander of the army, of course could not ignore it, so he urged him to step forward. King Xin, the invincible little follower, naturally followed.
When they came to the scene, they saw a man dressed as a family member, who was pulling the clothes of the military judge of the brocade guard and insulting him.
Zhu Youcheng frowned and asked, "What's going on?" ”
The scolding was concentrating on scolding, and the scolded looked helpless, and the two of them didn't have time to answer.
Another military judge next to him said, "My lord, the lost owner is here and is making trouble." ”
Zhu Youcheng jumped off the horse, sighed, and said, "I said hurry up, but you didn't listen." Now, the owner has come to the door. Originally, we caught the peasants' chickens by mistake, and we paid double compensation, which is enough to show the high style and brightness of our army. Now it's different, the owner comes to the door first, which means that we have been caught, although the amount of compensation remains the same, but the nature has become a matter of stealing with money. ”
The military judge said helplessly: "Lord Zhu's order, how dare we delay it." The owner didn't come to the door by himself, and they didn't know that the chicken had been lost. It was after we told him that they came to the door to make trouble. ”
Wang Daqi asked, "Since we notified them first and gave double the compensation, what else is there to make trouble?" ”
Zhu Youcheng contacted his previous life, thought about it, and replied: "Money is to blame." Probably because the villagers saw that our army was polite and offered compensation, thinking that our army was weak and could be bullied, they went to the door to make trouble, hoping to get more compensation. If our army is more domineering and domineering, and they can't save their lives, how can they dare to come and make trouble? ”
King Xin said: "Doesn't this mean that good people are easy to be bullied, and villains are not dared to be provoked? ”
Zhu Youcheng nodded and affirmed King Xin's statement.
King Xin felt that the faith in his heart had been ruthlessly shattered, wasn't it true that good people have good rewards, and they have much help for the righteous and little help for the unjust?
King Xin muttered, "How can the world be like this?" ”
Zhu Youcheng sighed and said, "The way of the world is like this. ”
He suddenly felt that this matter was familiar in history, but he couldn't remember what it was for a while, the only thing he knew for sure was that it was not a trivial matter, otherwise it would not have been recorded in history.
Zhu Youcheng didn't have time to think about history, he had to deal with this matter first. (To be continued......)
PS: I was caught by the leader, no way.
