Gongshan Xu: "I just came to say hello to Mr. Xiao, as the general who guards the hunting garden, I have the responsibility to report all the accidents that happened here to the adults in the national capital." As soon as I returned, I sent someone to Ryoma City and the capital to tell the truth and announce the matter. ”

Baoyu: "That lady, I'm afraid I won't be happy." ”

Gong Shanxu: "I can only do this, if she has an accident during the safari, I will be responsible, but as a safari general, I can't listen to her orders." ”

Baoyu looked at the large field that had been trampled to the ground, and suddenly said: "Today's matter, according to the etiquette law in the country, what kind of punishment should Gong Yuan receive?"

Gong Shanxu's voice trembled a little, and he hesitated for a moment but still replied, "Execution." ”

In such an agrarian society, food production is the lifeblood that keeps the entire country running, and people must not trample on the seedlings at will. If you do it unintentionally, you will be reprimanded, if you do it intentionally, you will be punished, and if you deliberately destroy a large area of green seedlings during spring ploughing, it is a very serious crime and should be punished.

The so-called punishment is the cutting off of one foot for the first offense, the other foot for the second offense, and both feet at the same time if the offense is particularly serious. As a gentleman, Gong Yuan is deeply loved by the monarch, and it is unlikely that her feet will be cut off, because there is still a saying of mercy and kindness. The person who is of high status also has the opportunity to escape this punishment and substitute compensation in other ways.

But even the monarch can only pardon the punishment that Gong Yuan has suffered, and he must find a reason that is convincing enough on the surface, but he cannot erase Gong Yuan's crime. That is to say, the crime of reckless murder and deliberate destruction of green seedlings during spring ploughing cannot be changed, and her best outcome is only to be convicted and get out of prison, which is already a privilege.

Gong Yuan actually didn't have to be like this, the Jiaoma was just a beast, whether it had wisdom or not, it was still a beast, it was it that trampled the seedlings at the beginning, and it had been killed by Baoyu. If Gong Yuan asks about the situation clearly and expresses her willingness to compensate, she will be able to make a big deal small, and no one will pursue her anything.

However, she took the chariot and led the guards to trample on the fields to arrest Baoyu, and the crime was confirmed. As for the later coercion of the army, the crime will be even greater, and it depends on whether anyone will seriously investigate it and whether this matter will be made public.

Baoyu asked again, "What punishment should the captain of the guard who shot that arrow receive?"

This time, Gong Shanxu replied very simply: "Beheading! If he confesses that he was instructed by someone, then the instigator will be guilty of the same crime." After thinking for a moment, he added, "Actually, without that arrow, he and the guards should also be punished." ”

Baoyu: "Oh, that's a bit wronged, they just follow Gong Yuan's orders." ”

Gong Shanxu shook his head and said: "Not wronged, not wronged at all!" The duty of the guards is to protect the monarch and daughter, and also includes admonishing and preventing her from making mistakes, rather than conniving at her to commit crimes. Gong Yuan has no right to live or die, and if she is not satisfied with the guards, she will at most ask for replacement. However, if the guards fail to stop the princess, and follow her to trample the fields and take people, it is the same crime. ”

Baoyu asked, "Will all those guards have their feet cut off?"

Gong Shanxu replied: "This is not necessarily, but the crime and the corresponding punishment are the same, but according to the national etiquette law, such crimes that do not involve rebellion and destruction of human life, as long as they can confess their sins and repent and compensate the victim's losses, the sentence can also be changed from a lenient sentence to a cane punishment." ”

Baoyu nodded: "The general is a person who understands, and he sees things clearly." And what then do you think I should be punished?"

Gongshan thought about it for a long time, and then replied: "You have made such a big move, and you are not guilty, and it is not easy to even want to arrest you publicly." As for the kick you kicked...... Don't talk about it. ”

Baoyu is not guilty of killing Jiaoma, and as for later, he did not attack the gentleman's car, and he couldn't plant it if he wanted to. Every time, the gentleman brought a group of people to him to make a move, and more importantly, he didn't chase after he won, the nature was completely self-defense, and there was no provocation and hurting people, because there was no need for that.

Baoyu's voice paused, and she asked unhurriedly: "Lady Gongyuan, when you were hunting, you deliberately indulged the guards to trample on a large area of green seedlings and attempt to kill people, so that's it, anyway, with her identity, I think she should be able to escape punishment." But if she transferred the border army from the garrison without authorization and led the army to break into the city and villages to commit murder, what kind of crime would she be guilty of?"

"Rebellion is a serious crime of the country, and it is unforgivable! The identity of a gentleman and daughter is even more unfavorable to her. After General Gongshan Xu's words were dumbfounded, he suddenly felt a deep chill. How could this young man, who didn't seem to be very old, be so proficient in the etiquette and law of the country? Although he cultivated in order to attain it, he was not even a master in the world after all, but his methods of regulating people were much more terrifying than Fang Cai's fighting magic powers.

This little gentleman did not hurt a single person today, but those perpetrators were about to kill themselves step by step, but they all deserved it. Baoyu had already seen who Gong Yuan was, what her temperament was, and what kind of things she would do, not only to prevent her from committing murder on the spot, but also to make it difficult for her to escape the crime if she continued to commit murder without repentance, and even the crime was unforgivable.

Of course, it is impossible for Gongshanxu to know that the mountain god who taught Baoyu was the Ba Guo Lizheng of the past, that is, the Qingsha of the famous Ba Yuan! Zhu Ming almost taught Baoyu all his knowledge and knowledge, but he often did not feel deeply when talking about the world, and he did not really know what the use of this knowledge was and how to use it, and it was not much different from listening to a story for a child.

But Baoyu has personally experienced today's events, and the mountain god is really not in vain! When Baoyu said this, he unconsciously imitated the tone and tone of the mountain god, and there was a faint shadow of Zhu Ming.

The little gentleman still asked unhurriedly: "If that is the case, it is impossible to hide the matter, then what punishment will the sergeant receive?

"Sergeant...... All should be killed!General ...... When the door is full!" Gong Shanxu almost struggled to answer, and then asked in a trembling voice, "Little sir." How much more do you want to make a fuss about this, and do you want to involve the military formations stationed here?"

The theory just talked about, in fact, Gong Yuan didn't expect this kind of result. If Baoyu had just beaten her away at the beginning and then left on her own, I'm afraid it wouldn't be the current situation. But this matter is getting bigger and bigger, and now the movement is almost uncontrollable, but look at Baoyu's appearance. It doesn't seem to be afraid that it's bigger.

Baoyu replied expressionlessly: "I just want to see if the lady of the palace can repent, if she can't, but the murder is even worse, and I can't just leave like this, but leave others and myself with calamity, of course, I can't let her end well." If there were more people, she should have been dissuaded, but she could not be dissuaded. Instead, help her commit murder, then clean up together.

In fact, it is not up to me how big things will be. As for whether the military formation will be involved, it depends on you, the general. After the lady fled back, if she still didn't know how to advance or retreat, I am afraid that she would want to mobilize an army to get me. I am only one person, and the military formation is neatly equipped and calmly lined up for battle. I can't be an opponent either, she's going to think of that. ”

Gong Shan said in a cold sweat: "The gentleman and the girl are just here to hunt, how can she have the right to mobilize the border army? General Ben will never let this kind of thing happen!"

Baoyu: "Didn't the military formation come today? just now!"

Baoyu said this, but Gongshan Xuan was frightened, and he quickly explained: "We heard that the princess is in distress, and we rushed to take care of it, which is also our duty. If I don't come, I will be chastised. It was only a temporary rescue. It's near the station, so it's not an official transfer of troops. And, of course, I want to find out what happened, and I should have led my subordinates to find out. ”

Baoyu finally nodded: "That's why I said that the general is a person who understands things and sees things clearly." You just said that you will truthfully inform the city of this matter and report it to the national capital, this is the only way for you to get rid of the crime, and you can't change your mind again. Although this will inevitably offend the lady and the lady, it will inevitably be punished. but it can save the lives of the full family.

When you go back, I am afraid that the lady will cry incessantly, and even insult and threaten, and force you to lead the army to come and get me again. You can't afford to miss a thought. If she asks you like that, she will not only rebel herself, but also destroy your whole door. Offending her may or may not affect your future, but if you promise her, you will be trying to make her happy for a while. ”

Gongshanxu thanked him in the bushes: "Mr. Xiao is reluctant to reveal his identity, probably because he doesn't want to cause unnecessary trouble, Gongshanxu will no longer ask, and will only immediately send someone to report the matter truthfully." I also understand the truth, but it is not as thorough and direct as Mr. Xiao said, and there is no hesitation in Gongshanxu about what should be done. ”

Baoyu waved his hand and said, "Go back quickly! That Gong Yuan has already gone back, I guess she is crying and shouting at this moment to bring the army to come in full armor." ”

Gong Shanxu: "This is impossible, she doesn't have a military talisman, and she can't transfer the garrison!"

Baoyu shook his head slightly: "That's not necessarily, as the general just said, this place is near the military formation's station, and the sergeant's private actions may not be considered a formal transfer of troops." Your general is missing, and there is no master in the army, and the lady may order the army to come in the name of saving you or looking for you. If that's the case, if you don't hurry back and restrain the formation, the chaos may be even greater. ”

Gongshan got up and said: "Thank you Mr. Xiao for reminding me, I will rush back, no matter how the gentleman and the lady make trouble, the military array will never go out of the hunting garden and enter this field again." ”

Baoyu shook his head again and said, "If she makes a fuss, you not only have to restrain the military formation from being instructed by her, but also explain Fang Cai's truth to her in person and in public, which is also your duty." Although it went against her will, it was to abide by the military regulations of the country, and it was equivalent to saving her life. ”

Gongshan nodded again and again: "I understand." He was about to leave, but he seemed to suddenly remember something, and turned around and said, "Little sir, there is another thing I think I should tell you." Gong Yuan did not come here alone to hunt, but came with a nobleman. When she came, she invited the chariot drawn by the horse to the nobleman, and she followed behind. ”

Baoyu wondered: "Who is the Honorable Elder of the Monarch? Since she is serving by the Honorable Chief, why did she run out to make trouble again? She has already made such a big commotion, and she has not seen the Honorable Elder come forward?"

Gongshan Xu: "Mr. Xiao doesn't know, Gong Yuan's attitude towards that elder is extremely deferential, and she doesn't dare to disobey in the slightest. However, when the man came to the hunting garden, he ordered Gong Yuan not to follow, but to go into the mountains and fields deep in the hunting ground to observe the natural carvings on the rocks here, and no one else should disturb him.

I was afraid that the man would be in danger of encountering a beast in the depths of the mountains, and I wanted to send a sergeant to accompany him to protect him, but I was refused, and he only took a boy into the depths of the mountains. Gong Yuan obviously didn't dare to disobey this person's words, and even his own guards stayed by his side, and he waited in the camp for a few days, feeling really bored so he came out to hunt. ”

Baoyu was even more puzzled: "With Gong Yuan's temper, she can be so well-behaved in front of that person." Who is that Elder of Hers, and where is he now?"

Gongshan replied: "I don't know, Gong Yuan also told me not to ask questions, and not to talk too much." Seeing Gong Yuan's appearance in front of that man, if I hadn't seen the king, I would almost suspect that he was the king! When the man came, he took the boy into the mountains, and now three days have passed, but he has not reappeared. ”

After saying this, General Gongshan Xu finally left in a hurry, passed by the carcass of the horse, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity!"

This sentence reminded Baoyu that so many people came here several times and tossed all day, but the horse that caused trouble was still lying in the bushes and no one cleaned it up. Baoyu grew up in the wilderness, and it was not easy for the tribal village to hunt such a large beast, let alone the cultivation of the three realms as a foreign beast? Of course, it would be a pity to throw it there like this.

When the wild tribes hunt, the prey they catch must be disposed of in time, and they cannot be left overnight. The horse is dead, but its meat is also a good thing, it is said that the food can nourish qi and blood, strengthen muscles and bones, not only delicious, but also equivalent to a big tonic elixir, it is rare that it has more than 1,000 catties!

This kind of exotic beast is rare and rare, and if someone gets it, it is impossible to kill and eat meat. But if you don't deal with it at this time, it's really a great waste, and Baoyu can't do this kind of thing. Besides, after a day of fighting and reasoning, he and Xiaotian are tired, even if they have cultivation, they will feel hungry if they have such a big consumption.

Baoyu asked Xiao Tian to drag the body of the horse out of the bushes, although he did not bring a knife, but his martial arts skills were not practiced in vain, and his strength was condensed on the fingertips, and with a stroke of his fingers, the tough horse skin was cut in response.

Hunted animals that are not disposed of in a timely manner or stored properly will either spoil or be less effective in nourishing, and are usually cleaned up before the overnight stay.

Baoyu had seen the scene of the people of Lu Village and Huahai Village dividing the rhino ditch beast, and at this moment they were also doing the same, first peeling off the complete horse skin and laying it, then cutting off the large pieces of meat and piling them on top, and then picking out the animal bones one by one, and being busy from dusk until dark. Then he raised a fire on the hillside and began to roast meat from branches.

Baoyu is very experienced in eating meat, and different meats have different ways to eat. It is better to let the meat of most animals be bled first, or to wash the blood foam from the meat, which will taste better. But the horse's flesh was different, and Baoyu didn't have time to bleed it, but it maintained the best nourishing effect, and it smelled very fragrant when roasted.

Xiaotian squatted beside the fire, sticking out his tongue and almost drooling, looking at it with his eyes in disdain. Baoyu said: "Why are you only looking at me? It's not that you don't have no hands, why don't you roast your own meat!"

Dogs really don't have long hands, at least not as flexible hands as long people, but Xiao Tian now has the ability to control objects in the Three Realms, which is equivalent to having invisible hands, even more flexible than human hands. Xiao Tian reacted at this time, quickly "blew" a branch, put on several pieces of meat, and then built a shelf with a branch, roasted the meat above the fire, and turned it from time to time in the method of imperial objects.

It was also the first time for Xiao Tian to do such a "magical" thing with the method of imperial objects, and he was so excited that he whistled in the dog's mouth.

Baoyu scares Xiao Tian while roasting meat: "This beast is a rare and exotic beast, which was given to the monarch by the monarch and is pampered on weekdays. It runs faster than you, has stronger natural powers than you, and has already cultivated in the Three Realms. But if you look at what it does, and then look at what happens to it, don't follow suit!"

Xiao Tian was whistling and roasting horse meat, and had already roasted the dark red meat until the surface was brown and squeaky and oily, and he pouted when he heard that he was very dissatisfied, as if to say, "How can you compare me with such a thing?"

At that moment, a man appeared on the top of the hill across the trees. The man wore his hair uncrowned and wore a moon-yellow robe. This robe is woven with kussi, but the water cloth woven by the water lady is more supple and elegant, not dyed or bleached, just like most civilian clothes still retain the original color of clothing.

This plain kudzu cloth robe is actually woven and integrated like Xingyao's clothing, and it is not cut and sewn with fabric. His description is about forty years, with wind and frost on his temples, but his eyes are very clear, so clear that he can see through the heavens, earth, mountains and rivers in front of him.

The eyes were looking at the foot of the mountain, and they saw a child and a dog roasting horse meat there, and there was a look of surprise in their eyes, and they couldn't laugh or cry. Then the man walked down the hill through the bushes to the fire, and asked with a smile, "Child, did you have fun today?"

Baoyu was actually always paying attention to the movements around him, and when this person appeared on the top of the mountain, he didn't notice it. And this person did not hide his whereabouts when he came, Baoyu heard the sound of footsteps and the sound of branches being removed, and when he looked up, the middle-aged man was in front of him.

As soon as this person spoke, Baoyu knew that he was a master, and his cultivation was beyond the imagination of many people in the world, because there was divine thought in this voice. The visitor asked him if he was having a good time, not the barbecue at the moment, of course, but everything that happened today. When Baoyu heard it, Yuan Shenzhong naturally understood what he was asking.
