Chapter 2053: Asking for forgiveness

Chapter 2057: Asking for forgiveness

Jiaxing, Jiangnan Governor's Mansion, Zaofang.

The big spoon was holding a horse spoon, one spoonful at a time, and another spoonful at the egg drop soup in the pot. His eyes were looking at the door uneasily, like a stone watching a husband.

Finally, in his expectant eyes, a maidservant came quickly carrying a food box. The master quickly walked forward excitedly and uneasily, and asked anxiously, "How is it, how is it, have you eaten, master?"

?”

The maid shook her head, "The master said he had no appetite, so he asked me to bring it back again so that we could share it."

"ah"

This result was actually expected by the boss, 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 this lunch. I haven't eaten or slept all day. How can my body handle it?

"The captain 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 cook 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 will suffer.

It’s fallen.”

"Besides, 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 Zhang Shao 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 lady comes to investigate, how can we explain to the lady?"

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 been spread all over the house, our master has repeatedly given orders, no one is allowed to do anything without the master's order.

The local officials mobilized troops, but 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.

Already."

The boss quickly defended himself, and then angrily complained about Tu Dashan and Li Fengshi, the governor of Southern Zhili.

"Isn't it just three thousand soldiers? Doesn't our master control tens of thousands of soldiers and horses?"

The maid scratched her head in confusion, obviously the master has many thousands of soldiers and horses, why are there only three thousand soldiers missing? As for not eating for a whole 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 spoon waved the big spoon in front of the maid 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 meals.

"The reason why I transferred Shandong spearmen and Guangxi wolf soldiers is because our local soldiers can't fight and have no skills. When we fight with Japanese pirates, they are beaten to a pulp. That's why I specially transferred soldiers who can fight from outside."

Our soldiers include this Shandong spearman. This Shandong spearman is well-known and famous for being able to fight!"

"But the result is that the three thousand Shandong spearmen who can fight were all killed by the Japanese pirates in one battle. This loss is not only the three thousand Shandong spearmen, but also everyone's confidence. The specially mobilized guest soldiers who can fight are like this."

If it is useless, then who else can deal with the Japanese pirates?! Our morale has been trampled on the ground by the Japanese pirates."

"The master was mobilizing his troops and generals, setting up a dragnet, and preparing to wipe out the Japanese pirates in one fell swoop, but he was hit in the head with a stick."

"Do you think I can stop being angry? If I were the master, I would drag out the person named Tu, or at least the person named Li, just like the opera sings!"

The more the boss talked, the more excited he became, complaining about Zhang Jing, but these people didn't listen to the master. It was really unreasonable.

"Master, that's what I 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 didn't understand such a big deal and asked with concern.

"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 slices." The maid said and ran away.

"Oh, it's all the Japanese pirates' fault, 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 spoon 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. He carried a bundle of canes on his back and wore a pair of open-toed shoes.

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 middle of winter, does he show off his muscles?"

"What's going on? 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, the Chinese people's love for watching the fun has not changed. There are many people watching the fun on both sides of the street, and there are even many people who are not too big to watch the fun. People are pointing and gathering together.

Rumors spread.

"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 man was and where he was going.

"I don't know. We'll 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.

As a result, everyone gathered around curiously and followed the shirtless man forward.

Go and go

Go and go

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 speculated.

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 been pleading guilty went straight to 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 his 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 to apologize knelt on one foot, clasped his fists and apologized loudly inside.
