Chapter 480

Huang Zhong and the others also pretended not to see the winking and blinking of Gan Ning and the others.

"It's over, Prime Minister won't take our heads off, will he!"

The most jumpy Gan Ning whispered to Pang De, Zhang He, and others.

However, he clearly forgot one thing.

That was, Gu Yi's hearing had always been very good.

As the words fell,

before Pang De and Zhang He could respond to Gan Ning,

Gu Yi suddenly turned his head, his gaze fixed tightly on Gan Ning.

In an instant,

Gan Ning broke out in cold sweat.

This TM!

Although Gu Yi was not a military general, he had long since perfected the oppressive feeling of a superior.

At this moment, Gan Ning, facing this pressure, truly could not hold on.

With a "thump" sound,

Gan Ning knelt on one knee and took the initiative to speak to Gu Yi to plead guilty:

"Wuwuwu, Prime Minister, your subordinate was wrong!"

"Your subordinate will never dare to do it again!"

"If the Prime Minister tells your subordinate to go east, your subordinate will absolutely not go west!"

Seeing this "pretentious" appearance of Gan Ning, who was like a drama queen, Gu Yi rolled his eyes silently.

"Alright, alright, get up quickly."

"What kind of decorum is it to kneel on the ground?"

"If someone who doesn't know the situation sees this, they will think this Prime Minister is mistreating you!"

As the saying goes,

the child who cries gets candy.

Gu Yi originally did not intend to do anything to this group of military generals.

It was mainly to serve as a small punishment to warn them.

At this moment, seeing Gan Ning's appearance,

Gu Yi simply lowered the punishment again.

Ten strokes of the cane for each person.

But with the rough bodies of this group of guys, ten strokes were just like scratching an itch.

Simply, Gu Yi had Gan Ning and the others each write a five-thousand-word self-criticism!

Yes, it was self-criticism.

And it had to be written with a brush!

This, for these few military generals, was no different from a bolt from the blue!

However, fortunately, these few people were also people who knew how to read and write.

Otherwise, I fear they would have to learn how to write first!

But even so,

this five-thousand-word self-criticism was still a very deadly punishment!

And, to prevent this group of military generals from finding others to write the self-criticism for them,

Gu Yi decided to lock these few people in the tent; they could only come out when they finished writing!

This was absolutely a punishment they would never forget for a lifetime.

When there were neutral pens and ballpoint pens to write with in later generations, five thousand words were still a harsh task that made shoulders feel sore.

How much more so in this era of writing with a brush?

Gan Ning, Gao Shun, Pang De, Zhang He, Zhang Ren, and others were simply crying without tears regarding this punishment.

But there was no way.

Having annoyed Prime Minister Gu, this time the punishment was destined to be something they could not be exempted from no matter what.

Two days later,

several military generals with dark circles under their eyes were carried out of the tent one after another, in agony.

Writing five thousand words with a brush.

Such a ruthless punishment was, for these few generals, painful! It was truly too painful!

At the same time,

Chaisang

Lu Kang's residence

Lu Xun, carrying a seven-year-old little boy with a bulging chest, was sitting in the main hall waiting for Lu Kang.

Seeing the little boy's face dodging, Lu Xun asked curiously:

"Uncle Ji, what are you hiding in your sleeve?"

Being asked this by Lu Xun, the look on the little boy's face became increasingly flustered.

Although... according to the family generation, he was Lu Xun's uncle.

But Lu Xun was the biological grandson of the clan leader Lu Kang.

And he was just a descendant from a remote branch of the Lu family.

This time, the reason he could be picked up to Chaisang

was mainly because the clansmen of the Wu Jun Lu family had all died.

The clansmen in the other commanderies also suffered heavy losses.

The Lu family, from top to bottom, only had forty-some people left in the land of Jiangdong.

Accompanied by the decrease in clansmen, the closeness of blood relations between the direct and collateral branches naturally faded quite a bit.

And as a child, Lu Ji, because he was clever and nimble, was personally brought here by Lu Xun.

However, at this moment, Lu Ji was like a bumpkin who had never seen the world.

And Lu Xun was like an aristocratic young master who had grown up in a honey pot since childhood.

"Plop"!

Lu Ji was overly frightened, and the few oranges hidden in his sleeves rolled out one after another.

Seeing this scene,

Lu Xun's brows furrowed tightly.

He was a bit unable to understand; it was just a few oranges, was it necessary to be so sneaky?

And Lu Ji, looking at these few oranges rolling out from his sleeves, could not help but have big tears well up in his eyes.

Lu Xun was helpless and hurriedly walked up to comfort Lu Ji.

"I say, Uncle Lu Ji, they are just a few oranges. If you want to take them, just take them; why must you hide them in your sleeves?"

In Lu Xun's eyes, a doubt of "why not eat meat porridge" was revealed.

But this could not be blamed on him.

After all, he was a young master who grew up in a honey pot since he was little.

He had never felt worried because he couldn't eat fruit like oranges.

Between aristocratic families, the distinction between close and distant, direct and collateral was very strict.

Especially for great aristocratic families.

Because of the large population,

the distribution of resources was often quite uneven.

The days of collateral descendants like Lu Ji, who were not valued originally, were generally only slightly better than commoners.

Compared to true direct descendants like Lu Xun, the treatment was simply heaven and earth.

Lu Xun had no experience in coaxing children.

Seeing Lu Ji still crying here, Lu Xun felt his head grow big.

The current Lu family, from old to young, only had forty-some people left in total.
