In the meeting hall, Zhang Dao sat lazily at the head of the table, with an imperceptible smile on his lips.
Xu Fu sat in the seat below him, with an old face stretched out, while Zhang Dazhuang stood in front of his seat, holding a thick board in his hand, and occasionally glanced at Zhang Dao above him. Xu Fu, who was in front of him, was so scared that he didn't dare to breathe.
Not long after, Zhao Erhu led Li Erniu, who was a head taller than him and tied up, into the hall.
As soon as he entered the door, Zhao Erhu saw that the owner of the village and the chief priest were looking at him with unkind expressions.
He quickly stepped forward and bowed, "I've seen the owner of the village, and I've seen the big offering."
Zhao Erhu pointed at Li Erniu behind him and said: "I have brought this idiot who knows nothing about heaven and earth. Please forgive him, the owner of the village, and the great worshiper."
Zhang Dao and Xu Fu both looked behind Zhao Erhu with half-smiling smiles. Zhao Erhu quickly looked back and his lungs almost exploded with anger.
I saw Li Erniu standing with his head straight, as straight as a wooden pillar.
He was so angry that he kicked Li Erniu in the leg socket and cursed angrily: "What are you still doing? Why don't you quickly admit your mistake to the owner?"
Only then did Li Erniu come to his senses, and he quickly pushed down a golden mountain and fell to his knees with a thump like a jade pillar. The shock caused the dust to fly.
"I realized I was wrong, so I came here to plead guilty and ask the village owner to punish me."
The corner of Zhang Dao's mouth twitched slightly, and then he said calmly: "Oh? Our Captain Erniu knew he was wrong on the first day he took office? Then tell me, where did you go wrong?"
"This, this..." Li Erniu hesitated for a long time, his face turned red from holding it in, but he couldn't say a word.
Zhao Erhu on the side felt palpitated when he saw it, and slapped him in the face, "What the hell are you talking about?"
"Master, I Erniu realized that I was wrong. I shouldn't have let my wife come to worship me before I knew who she was. Please punish me, Master!" Li Erniu seemed to suddenly remember something, and started talking like a barrage of fire. Say it.
What is this lady and that lady? Zhang Dao was confused.
However, Xu Fu, who was sitting next to him, could no longer hold back. He patted the chair and said coldly: "Well, Li Erniu, the owner of the village has promoted you, a small captain, to a captain. This is How much faith I have in you!”
"But what about you? You actually took advantage of the fact that you were out on a mission, robbed a girl from the village, and forced her to do it. Um, you also disrupted the wedding of the owner of the village. Are you too brave?"
"The Great Enlightenment Mingjian, I didn't rape the women of the village!" Li Erniu hurriedly explained that raping the women of the village is a serious crime according to the village rules promulgated by Zhang Daoxin. It can range from being kicked out of the villa to being killed in the first place. This crime he Can't afford it.
"Hmph! Then who is that other person in the village owner's new house now?" Seeing that this idiot dared to deny and make sophistry, Xu Fu lowered his face and asked.
"That's why I brought her up the mountain when I saw that my wife was beautiful and worthy of being the owner of the village." At this point, Li Erniu snorted unhappily, "I can't look down on ordinary people as gifts. The owner is the wife.”
Zhang Dao, who was holding a bowl of tea and had just taken a sip, spurted out one mouthful after another, squirting all over Li Erniu who was kneeling in front of him.
Such a strong reason, he was speechless.
"You, you are being unreasonable! Do you think that when you see a beautiful woman, you have to bring it back to the village owner?" Xu Fu was so angry that his fingers trembled.
Li Erniu smiled coquettishly and was sprayed all over by the owner. Not only did he not hide, he also said with a naive smile: "Master, your tea is gone. Do you want me to change it for you?"
"Go, go, you are everywhere. Now you are interrogating in the three halls. Be more serious." Zhang Dao cursed angrily.
Li Erniu said happily: "Hey! Okay!"
"Why are you having fun? Did you eat bee shit?" Seeing this, Xu Fu also understood that Zhang Dao didn't want to punish Li Erniu severely, and he didn't bother to be such a bad person.
So, Xu Fu turned around, cupped his hands, and asked Zhang Dao: "Master, in your opinion, what should be done with Li Erniu?"
Suddenly, Li Erniu raised his head and looked at Zhang Dao eagerly, as did both Zhang Dazhuang and Zhao Erhu.
Zhang Dao cleared his throat, shook his head with a helpless smile and said, "Er Niu, tell me, you are such a smart person, how could you do such a bastard thing?"
Xu Fu and others almost fainted when they heard this. Master, do you think Li Erniu is clever? This is true, don’t you have no conscience?
"Master, I know I made a mistake, please take responsibility." Li Erniu did not refute, lowered his head and said angrily.
Zhang Dao nodded with satisfaction, licked his nails and said nonchalantly: "Well, the attitude of admitting your mistakes is commendable, and you can correct them if you know them. Originally, according to the village rules, you were expelled from the village."
"Ah?" Li Erniu's mouth opened wide, and then his big head shook like a rattle, "If you don't leave, I won't leave. Even if you beat me to death, Master, I won't leave the villa."
"Master, is this punishment too severe? Please consider that this is his first time and spare him this time!" Zhao Erhu quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.
Zhang Dazhuang also hurriedly knelt down and clasped his fists and said: "Yes, owner of the village, you also know this idiot. Even though his brain is a bit awkward, he is still very loyal."
"Well, that makes sense!" Zhang Dao pretended to think carefully, then nodded and said, "In that case, let's punish him with twenty canes and see the consequences!"
Li Erniu's eyes suddenly opened as big as a bell when he heard this, and his face was full of joy, "Thank you, Master, thank you Master!"
Xu Fu couldn't bear to look at him for a long time. The twenty sticks were just a scratch on the rough-skinned and fleshy Li Erniu.
Wuyan continued to look, Xu Fu cupped his hands towards Zhang Dao, "The owner of the village is here to deal with it. I'll go make arrangements for the prisoner camp first."
Zhang Dao nodded and smiled and warned: "Okay! Uncle Xu, let's go ahead and let the officers and soldiers work tomorrow morning. This is all good labor! Tell them, if they don't work, they won't get food! Our villa You can't keep the officers and soldiers for the imperial court in vain."
"Don't worry, Master! I will make all arrangements!" Xu Fu stood up and left. When he passed by Li Erniu and others, he snorted and walked away.
"Hit!" Xu Fu just left, and Zhang Dao suddenly spoke.
Zhao Erhu glanced at Zhang Dao doubtfully, not understanding what he meant.
Zhang Dazhuang, who was holding the wooden board, reacted and hurriedly stepped forward cheerfully. He kicked Li Erniu, who was kneeling at half a man's height, to the ground. He picked up the wooden board and started beating him.
Zhang Dazhuang wanted to be merciful, but after beating him several times, Li Erniu didn't make a sound. He smiled awkwardly at the village owner who was looking at him with a half-smile.
He hurriedly pulled Li Erniu's ears and lowered his voice: "You should scream twice, otherwise I wouldn't be able to stand in front of the owner of the village!"
Only then did Li Erniu come to his senses and nodded repeatedly to show that he understood.
So, the execution continued.
However, this time, just as Zhang Dazhuang raised the board in his hand, Li Erniu, who was lying on the ground, started shouting "Ouch, ouch".
He was so angry that he opened his neck with veins popping out and yelled angrily: "You idiot, I haven't even beaten you yet!"
"Ah?" Li Erniu, who was shouting enthusiastically, was startled when he heard the words. He glanced at Zhang Dao above with some evasive eyes, but saw that he was just drinking tea from a teacup, as if he was not aware of this place.
Seeing that Li Erniu dared to be distracted after being beaten, Zhang Dazhuang was furious in his heart, picked up the board again, and smashed it down hard.
"Ouch! You damn strong protector, are you really serious about this!"
