However, Miao Miao's attention was not on Zhu Peng, but on the dead commandant.
Seeing that the commandant had been stomped to death by Zhu Peng, Miao Miao pulled Zhu Peng's arm anxiously and said,""Brother Fengchun, you just killed someone, and it was a commandant. What should we do?”
One had to know that in ancient times, killing was a serious crime, let alone killing a commandant.
If this was really convicted, although it would not be to the extent of exterminating his entire family, as the person involved, Zhu Peng would definitely not be able to run!
However, Zhu Peng didn't care about killing people at all. Instead, he comforted Miao Miao calmly,""Wife, don't be afraid. Don't forget that your husband is the eldest son of the Zhu family of Chang Zhou Prefecture. Which year hasn't my Zhu family handed over the most military rations and pay? He has to hand over so much military rations every year. Hehe, I don't believe that this amount of military rations isn't enough to buy his dog life.”
Zhu Peng's words reached the ears of the soldier lying on the ground without missing a single word, and it immediately caused a huge uproar. The young master in front of him was actually the richest young master of the Zhu family in Chang Zhou Prefecture?
F * ck, wasn't he kicking an iron plate?
One had to know that the Zhu family was not only a big family in the Chang Zhou government. It was also said that their ancestors had once saved the founding emperor of the current dynasty!
And the Zhu family's heirloom pig token was said to be the gold medal that the founding emperor had given to the Zhu family. No matter what crime the Zhu family committed, they could use that pig token to obtain pardon from death.
At the thought of this, the dozen soldiers lying on the ground no longer had the mood to cry. All of them began to beg Zhu Peng for mercy.
"Young Master Zhu, you are a magnanimous person. Just now, it was the commandant who forced us. Please don't make things difficult for us low-level soldiers!”
"Young Master Zhu, spare me. I didn't mean it!”
"Young Master Zhu, as long as you can let us go, we will definitely testify for you regarding today's matter. It was the commandant who had an affair with your wife, so Young Master Zhu killed the commandant by mistake!”
......
Killing by mistake and killing on purpose were two different concepts. They could not be mentioned in the same breath.
Hearing the soldiers begging for mercy, Miao Miao asked Zhu Peng curiously,""Brother Fengchun? Why didn't I know that the Zhu family had to hand over so much military rations to the army every year?”
"Hehe, there are many things you don't know! These were all things that had been going on since his late father was alive!”Zhu Peng chuckled.
Hearing this, Miao Miao couldn't help but roll her eyes. She snorted and said,""Hmph, so what if I don't know? I'm your wife. Won't I find out sooner or later?”
After Zhu Peng teased Miao Miao for a while, he saw that the soldiers had not left. He frowned and shouted,""I say, why are you still lying on the ground and refusing to leave? Are you really planning to dine and dash? What's the matter? Doesn't the army provide you with food?”
Hearing Zhu Peng's angry shout, a soldier hurriedly explained,""It's not that we don't want to leave, Young Master Zhu. Actually, the commandant brought us here because he really has something important to do. You also know that recently, we have been having constant disputes with our neighboring countries, and food is the most important thing for the army, so our general sent us to recruit people who can make flatbread and go to the army to make flatbread.”
"So that's how it is!"
Zhu Peng couldn't help but nod. No wonder Er Niu appeared in the army in the original plot. It seemed that Er Niu was recruited by this group of soldiers!
"That's right, that's it!" The soldier nodded and pointed at Er Niu."So Young Master Zhu, we want to find this young man to be a cook in our army.”
"That won't do. I heard him talking to his master just now. If he left, his master, who can't even walk, would be finished. How about this? I'll teach you a method.”
Zhu Peng shook his head and taught the soldiers how to make rice balls.
When the soldiers heard Zhu Peng's explanation of how to cook the rice balls, they asked doubtfully,""Young Master Zhu, is this really okay?”
"You'll know when you go back and try. It'll definitely work. If it doesn't work, you can come back and find me.”Zhu Peng replied confidently.
Looking at Zhu Peng's confident expression, the soldiers had no choice but to carry the dead commandant out of Er Niu's shop. Then, with the method that Zhu Peng had taught them, they impatiently returned to the army.
After the group of soldiers left, Er Niu looked at Zhu Peng gratefully. He was not good with words and could not express his gratitude in words. He could only look at Zhu Peng foolishly and then bow deeply.
"Thank you. Otherwise, I really don't know what to do!”Er Niu said to Zhu Peng with a simple and honest expression.
"Hehe, don't think too much about it. I'm just afraid that my wife won't be able to eat your pancakes in the future!”Zhu Peng chuckled.
With that, Zhu Peng hugged Miao Miao's slender waist and turned to leave Er Niu's shop, slowly disappearing from his sight.
Actually, Zhu Peng had helped Er Niu mainly because he wanted to prevent Er Niu from leaving the Chang Zhou Manor. Otherwise, if he wanted to obtain Hou Yi's Sunshot Archery, wouldn't he have to follow Er Niu to the army? How troublesome would that be!
What Zhu Peng feared the most in his life was trouble. If it was not troublesome, it was best to simplify it. This way, it would not be tiring.
