Chapter 164 Ten Rods
"It's really not necessary. Thank you, General, for your concern. I can handle it well."

"Say."

Originally, he wanted to pull a few sentences to pave the way for his next words, but Xu Da was shocked, and Zheng Xiong had no choice but to speak with a simple word, and said with some embarrassment.

"Tell the general to know that the next official met a woman he likes in Yanmen, and he has made a promise for the rest of his life. He will give a betrothal gift right away, and the lack of money will make the general laugh."

"Oh, Zheng Tiling is not married yet?"

"Never before, my family members were in a hurry, and I didn't meet a suitable one, so I thought about doing it quickly."

"I know some officials in Yanmen, whose family is the girl?"

"It's not from an official family, but from an ordinary family in Ying County."

Xu Da, who is good at age, shows different enthusiasm for the private matter of Zheng Xiong's marriage. Perhaps the common discourse between men cannot avoid this.

"How old are you, are you going to marry as a wife?"

"It's about the same age as a lower official, in her twenties, three matchmakers and six hires, and the official wife that the Ming matchmaker is marrying."

"This general wants to talk about it. A girl from an ordinary family is just married as a concubine. At your age, you should marry a well-matched one who has a helper."

"By the way, you are not in Yanmen, how did you meet the girl from Ying County?"

Um, this is hard to answer, I can't say that I skipped work and went on a trip to get acquainted!
After thinking about it, let me tell the truth, there are many people who know the details, and my own affairs are handled beautifully, so skipping a shift should be fine!
"Well, some time ago, I had nothing to do and went to Ying County to relax. I happened to meet him. After coming and going, this matter will be done."

"You are quite courageous. During your tenure, who gave you the right to wander around everywhere."

After listening to Xu Da's slightly indifferent question, Zheng Xiong didn't know how to answer for a while. He was chatting and laughing just now, and turned his face when he said he would turn his back on him. He couldn't figure out Xu Da's original intention for a while.

Whether to punish the crime or to punish oneself, the crime of dereliction of duty is still quite serious, mainly depends on the person, and whoever handles it always gives different results.

"The lower official is convicted, and I ask the general to punish him."

Speaking of things, standing at attention and being beaten is like being beaten, sophistry does not make any sense, but makes people disgusted.

Xu Da looked at Zheng Xiong, who was pleading guilty, and without saying a word, he held a teacup and drank the tea by himself, and he spoke for a while.

"There are three kinds of unfilial piety, and the greatest thing is to have no descendants. First, tell me whether you met before you went for a stroll to Ying County or after you went to Ying County."

Simple options, but the meanings are very different. It was easy to say before, and it can be justified, which is understandable.

It was different after that, skipping shifts at work was a matter of attitude, and one had to bear responsibility for any consequences that might arise.

"after."

Honestly replied, Zheng Xiong didn't bother to lie about this matter, one lie needs countless lies to make up, just like nesting dolls, very tiring.

Besides, the army returned triumphantly, so they wouldn't kill themselves!
"Neglect of duty, do you know how to punish it?"

"Play the board."

"I can fool you in other places, but I can't do it in my army. I won't let you go."

"Tell me, has anyone told you about this and advised you."

"Zhang Titiao learned about this and warned him, but he has never been there since then."

"It's not bad, you can take the responsibility, you can correct your mistakes, and you can still save them. You have made great contributions in treating wounded soldiers in Yanmen. This time, I will punish you with ten sticks to serve as an example. You can be convinced."

"The lower officials deserve this punishment, I am convinced."

Fortunately, only ten sticks, this thing should not kill anyone, Zheng Xiong was a little bit lucky.

Come to the ancient times like Daming, and experience the taste of stick responsibility.

"Well, come here."

"General."

"Take Zheng Ti down, and hold ten sticks in the school grounds, so as to make an example to others."

"Yes."

Seeing Zheng Xiong's ignorant, stupid and curious eyes, the soldiers felt a little strange.

After seeing Zheng Xiong's small body, he had to think carefully about how to fight.

At any rate, it was a civilian order. The doctors led by Zheng Xiong treated many wounded soldiers. Xu Da was a little uncertain about what to do. If he was killed, it would be difficult to explain, so he secretly returned to the camp and asked Xu Da for instructions.

"General, how to fight, let's go all out. Zheng Ti's ten sticks with this body may kill him."

"Small punishment and big commandment, just don't hurt the bone."

"Yes."

After receiving Xu Da's exact order, the soldier had a solid mind and brought Zheng Xiong to the school grounds.

After waiting for a while, when some people gathered in the school yard, the guard in charge of prison announced Xu Da's order.

"According to the general's order, the Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureau brought Zheng Xiong to him. During his tenure, he neglected his duties. Now he is responsible for ten sticks, so as to set an example to others. I hope you will take warning."

"Stand up."

The guards winked at the executioner, and the soldiers who cooperated tacitly understood the meaning in seconds, and pushed Zheng Xiong on the execution table.

He didn't take off Zheng Xiong's pants, leaving Zheng Xiong a bit of dignity, and at the same time reducing some damage to Zheng Xiong.

The person involved didn't feel it, but thought it was a novel experience.

The executioner didn't feel it, anyway, he couldn't be killed, at most he would suffer some flesh and blood.

But the soldiers watching under the stage didn't know the details above, looked at Zheng Xiong's small body, and said immediately.

"Wait, is there some misunderstanding?"

"No, you also want to go up and walk, but you will fail."

"I don't want to, but Zheng Tiling rescued many of our brothers in Yanmen. In previous years, I don't know how many people would die in the end. Even if they did, the credit is even greater. Isn't this ten sticks too much?"

"You don't even look at it, is Zheng Tiling the one who can afford the ten rods?"

Zheng Xiong was quite moved by the first few sentences, but the last sentence broke Zheng Xiong's defenses.

Can't you just talk well? What do you mean by contempt? After running and exercising during this period of time, at least a few muscles have emerged, so why can't it work.

"Whether you can afford it or not, it's the general's order. If you have any problems, go to the general. I'm only responsible for fulfilling the general's order."

"Then wait, let's ask the general, don't do anything yet."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the prison guard to speak, he led a group of people to Xu Da's camp in a hurry, leaving an empty school ground.

The prison guard saw that there were three or two big cats and kittens left, looked back at Zheng Xiong, and waved.

"Execution."

The bewildered Zheng Xiong was completely bewildered, and said to the guard.

"Won't you wait?"

The guard rolled his eyes, and he was afraid of killing you with a ruthless hand. Human life is at stake, and so on.

"Don't wait, the general's order cannot be changed, execute."

The executioner at the side picked up his stick and greeted Zheng Xiong's buttocks.
