Chapter 198
The scholar named Chen and the scholar named Li that Jin Fushi had expected never appeared again. They were like two straight lines intersecting on a plane. After a brief intersection, they never intersected again.
In addition, the certificate of credence submitted to Honglu Temple was lost like a mud cow in the sea, and Park Jingguang, a spy from Korea, never appeared again. On the contrary, Dali's envoy suddenly came to Bianjing and was captured by Honglu Temple.
They were welcomed into the city and provided with accommodation. In comparison, if Dali's envoys were treated as biological sons, then as an envoy from Goryeo, I could not even be considered as being raised by a stepmother.
"That's too much!"
Witnessing the scene of Dali envoys going crazy shopping accompanied by officials from Honglu Temple, Pu Chengxing couldn't help spitting out his old phlegm and said with a sigh: "If Dali, a small country, treats you with such courtesy, why should you treat it like this?"
I, Goryeo, are so rude!"
Jin Boushi didn't say anything, but he didn't reprimand Park Sung-sung for this.
Park Cheng-seong is right. Whether in terms of land area or comprehensive national strength, Dali is just a small place. How can it be compared with Goryeo, which is known as Haidong Little China? The Song Dynasty treated Dali with such courtesy, but
And they treat Goryeo like nothing!
The more Jin Fushi thought about it, the angrier he became. He really wanted to go back to Goryeo right now and seize the throne of Wang Gou'er. With the help of all Goryeo's territory being attached to the Song Dynasty, he should have the title of Duke of Virtue no matter what.
Until then, what is the point of being a mere envoy from Dali!
Thinking this in his mind, a smile appeared on Jin Fushi's lips unconsciously. But before Jin Fushi could figure out how he should face the other vassal envoys as Gui Degong, there was a harsh sound like metal friction.
It rang in Jin Fushi's ears.
"Spitting everywhere, fined a hundred cents, and whipped ten times!"
Before Jin Fushi could react, two Kaifeng Prefecture officers in soap clothes directly knocked Pu Chengxing to the ground. Another officer with a whip raised his hand and cracked the whip, then whipped Pu Chengxing hard.
Adult.
"Brother-in-law, save me!"
With just one whip, Pu Chengxing started struggling like a dying fish.
Jin Fushi hurriedly took a step forward, stopped the officer who was about to whip him for the second time, and said seriously: "You guys have learned that we are the envoys of Goryeo, and we are sent to the Song Dynasty on the order of our Lord."
"Step aside!"
The officer in charge of the execution glared at Jin Fushi and shouted: "The prince has violated the law and is guilty of the same crime as the common people! Don't say that you are just envoys of Goryeo. Even you, the leader of Goryeo, cannot escape these twenty whips today!"
"twenty?"
Jin Fushi was immediately furious, pointed at the officer and shouted: "You just said ten lashes, how come it turned into twenty lashes in the blink of an eye? Could it be that you are pretending that I am a foreigner and do not know the court of Kaifeng Mansion Yamen?"
Where to open it?"
After finishing speaking, Jin Fushi sneered again and said: "Also, we are the envoys of Goryeo. It is easy for you to beat him today, but it has delayed our meeting with the officials. If there is a misunderstanding between the two countries, you have to bear it."
Do you take this responsibility?"
The officer chuckled lightly and said, "Are you stupid? Who in the world doesn't know that the Yamen opens to the south!
However, since I want to beat him today, I have to do it clearly to avoid you saying that I am abusing lynching. According to the "Kaifeng Prefecture Public Security Management Regulations", anyone who spits on the ground will be fined a hundred cents and caned ten times. No.
People of the Song Dynasty, twice as much!
Also, let’s not talk about envoys not being envoys, let alone the misunderstanding between the two countries. If you have any objections, you can go to Kaifeng Mansion to sue me, or you can go to Honglu Temple to sue me. If you are brave, you can
Make a fuss in the Golden Palace during the interview!
Now, you obediently get out of my way, master, he will definitely take these twenty lashes!"
After saying that, the officer simply stretched out his hand and pushed Jin Fushi away, and once again cracked the whip out of thin air, and then hit Pu Chengxing firmly.
Only this time, the officer's attack was obviously a bit more severe. With just one whip, the shirt on Pu Chengxing's back was torn open, revealing the obscene clothes underneath. When the second whip was struck, Pu Chengxing's
The skin on his back was ripped open, and traces of blood seeped out from the wound. But the executioner didn't care, and just whipped him hard one after another.
After twenty lashes, Pu Chengxing's back was completely torn apart. The guard stretched out his foot to kick Pu Chengxing, who had passed out, and sneered: "The whipping is over. This hundred cents fine is yours."
Should I pay it, or should I let him pay it himself?"
"I'll hand it over."
Jin Fushi endured the humiliation in his heart, and did not dare to say any harsh words. He just took out a bunch of copper coins from his sleeve, counted them one by one, and handed them to the guard. Then he leaned down and helped Pu Chengxing up.
The officer took the copper coin, weighed it in his hand, and said, "Get out of here. There are many traumatic shops in Bianjing. Remember to grab some medicine to avoid the bad luck of dying in the city."
After saying that, the guard ignored Jin Fushi and the two of them. He just kicked a stall next to him and cursed: "You idiot Liu Laoliu! How many times have I told you, this Bian
You are not allowed to set up random stalls in the capital, so go to the East Market! Next time I meet you, I will give you a good beating!"
"It's too much to bully others! It's too much to bully others!"
After the officer walked away in a hurry, Jin Fushi supported Park Cheng-sung, who was barely standing, with his left hand, pointed at the back of the officer with his right hand and shouted: "How dare a mere officer bully me like this!"
"Bullying you? It's not that I'm bullying you."
The stall owner who was called Liu Laoliu next to him smiled and shook his head, and while slowly packing up his things, he said: "No matter who is caught in Bianjing City, the whip and fine will be inevitable, even if he is
The same goes for princes and nobles. Not long ago, His Royal Highness Prince Kang was whipped ten times in the street, and the punishment was carried out by the officials themselves."
Hearing this, Jin Fushi was so angry that he was trembling all over, his hands and feet were cold, and he said angrily: "This is a complete breakdown of etiquette and music! Why can't you become a doctor if you don't hear the punishment?"
Liu Laoliu laughed loudly, and his words were full of gloating: "Can't you punish me as a doctor?
When His Highness Prince Kang was whipped, some people tried to persuade the officials to do so. However, the officials said that since ancient times, there has been no saying that the punishment cannot be compared to the officials, but that the punishment cannot be compared to the Wuchang, and the courtesy cannot be compared to Uncle Hei. We don’t know what.
It's Wuchang, we don't dare to ask.
Anyway, since His Highness Prince Kang was beaten, no one in Bianjing dares to do it again. After so many days, you are still the first to be beaten."
When everything was almost packed, Liu Laoliu straightened up and said slowly: "Seeing as you are foreigners, I will teach you to be good today -
The most taboo things in Bianjing City are spitting and throwing dirty things, and if you catch them, you will get a good beating. As for outside Bianjing City, spitting and throwing things are not a big deal, although you will inevitably get beaten, but
It’s much lighter than cutting down and setting fire to the mountains at will.”
Jin Fushi asked with a gloomy face: "What will happen if I commit a crime?"
"What will happen?"
Liu Laoliu grinned with big yellow teeth and said with a smile: "The officials have said that from now on we will ban the cutting of trees at will throughout the Song Dynasty, especially those old trees. It's not impossible to cut down trees, but you have to report to the government.
, and if you cut down one tree, you have to plant ten more trees, otherwise you will be waiting to be imprisoned!"
Hearing what Liu Laoliu said, Jin Fushi felt much better. After thanking Liu Laoliu for his advice, Jin Fushi helped the groaning Pu Chengxing and limped to a medical center for treatment.
hurt.
Don't worry about why the Song Dynasty officials issued such weird regulations, but as long as this regulation is not directed at you, you can feel balanced in your heart.
The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people? Officials are wise!
Not twice as good as the people of the Song Dynasty? Officials and sages!
Jin Fushi felt that this rule was the best! Sooner or later, he would be the Duke of Guide of the Song Dynasty. Those barbarians who were not common people of the Song Dynasty should set rules for them!
…
"According to the official decree, I summon you and others to attend the pilgrimage tomorrow."
After resting in the inn for several days, until Park Cheng-sung's back injury was no longer serious and Jin Fu-shi was about to despair, the clerk from Honglu Temple finally came to the door.
He politely declined the gift handed over by Jin Fushi, and the clerk said: "Someone from the Ministry of Etiquette will come over later to teach you the rules of the meeting. It's better to learn a little, in case you lose your etiquette and get angry."
Officials, everyone must look good."
