When Ji Han and his men traveled to the Three Kingdoms crew

Chapter 118: "Eighteen Princes" are all captured

"The eighteen princes of Liangzhou?"

Liu Bei looked at the 'princes' who were surrounded by the city guards, and his eyelids twitched wildly. Logically speaking, even if the 'princes' were not as majestic as imagined, they should not act like this, right?

The image of the "princes" was far from the word "majesty". The flags that showed their status were crumpled into a ball by the "princes". Some of the "princes" threw it on the ground, some used it as tissue to wipe their noses, and some put it in their mouths and said repeatedly: "It's delicious!"

This frightened everyone present. Fortunately, the city guards were quick to act and quickly grabbed the "lord's" arm, snatched the "food" from his mouth, and taught him a lesson: "You can't eat this. Diseases come from the mouth, don't you know?"

In the Han Dynasty, a cold could take a grown man away if one was not careful, not to mention a child who was only knee-high. The child mortality rate was an extremely terrifying figure. Even with Hua Tuo's great efforts in training doctors, qualified doctors could not be trained overnight.

Compared with other county governors, Liu Bei had quite a few doctors under his command, but looking at the entire county, the number of doctors was still quite scarce. During the busiest time, not to mention Hua Tuo, even his eldest disciple Wu Pu was so tired that his throat was almost smoking.

Therefore, when Liu Bei was teaching his soldiers to read, the first thing he included in the assessment was the 'Disease Prevention Regulations'.

After all, this method had already shown its effectiveness in the pre-Qin period. As long as you pay attention to prevention, don't eat raw food like a certain greedy guy, control your mouth, drink hot water, and wash your hands frequently, you can prevent most diseases.

After several months of recitation and examination, as well as the busy running around after arriving in Jincheng County, the soldiers had no idea how many times they had repeated the regulations, and their lips were almost worn out. Fortunately, there was some effect, at least this 'prince', after having his flag taken away, said in a daze, "Yes, yes, you can't eat anything you want," before he burst into tears.

A wave of unrest, a wave of up again.

Zhou Niu, who was beaten black and blue, took the opportunity to hug Zhang Fei's thigh, and with tears and snot he denounced the atrocities of the princes. His crying was so cruel and tearful.

"My Lord, Commander, I was walking on the road when suddenly some 18 princes showed up and beat me up in the face. I think they are not princes, but bandits! My Lord, Commander, you have to help me!!!"

Faced with Zhou Niu's crying, Zhang Fei turned his eyes to Liu Bei.

"What are you looking at?" Liu Bei waved his hand, "Third brother, you are the captain, you handle it."

"promise!"

In public, Zhang Fei clasped his fists towards Liu Bei. Even though Ma Chao and Ma Dai lowered their heads and pretended to be pitiful, he did not believe them easily. Instead, he started to investigate in a serious manner. He ordered people to find the craftsman in the Works Hall who was responsible for building the city wall. He was a simple and honest northern man with a broad face and nose.

Under Zhang Fei's questioning, the craftsman told him everything about Zhou Niu.

"Reporting to the Lord, Commander, this man's surname is Zhou Niu, and he is the second child in the family. He originally had an elder brother, but he accidentally ate cinnabar, which damaged his brain and made him insane and stupid. His parents did not take good care of him, and Zhou's eldest son accidentally fell into a puddle and died. Since then, Zhou Niu has become the only son in the family. His parents have loved him very much since he was a child, but they never thought that he would ignore his parents when he was alive. It is said that when his mother wanted to eat mulberries before she was critically ill, he shook his head and refused. After his parents died, he took away his wife and children's food, and took away the family's property to bury his parents, saying that he wanted to fulfill his filial piety."

"Shuzi!"

Liu Bei could no longer bear to hear the craftsman's words. He was so angry that his veins popped out. He completely ignored his injuries, stepped forward quickly, and kicked Zhou Niu in the face.

The exaggerated force made Zhou Niu roll on the ground for several times. He was kicked so hard that he was completely dazed and his crying stopped immediately.

Liu Bei has always been an emotional person. When encountering such a thing, his first reaction is to go up and beat up such a person. If he finds out later that it is his own fault, he will hold the other person's hand and keep apologizing until the other person forgives him.

It is a pity that Zhou Niu did not have this opportunity. Whether it was his co-workers or neighbors and friends, their opinions of Zhou Niu were almost the same.

Ma Dai raised his head and said, "My Lord, didn't you tell me that as a son, we should be filial to our parents while they are still alive, instead of pretending to be filial after they die? This kind of filial piety is fake and pretended. In the final analysis, it is unfilial. My brother and I will kill this unfilial man!"

The childish voice echoed in this small world. Not only Liu Bei and his people, but even the crowd watching cast surprised and admiring eyes. The remaining sixteen "princes" looked at Ma Dai with admiration. They were not impressed by Ma Dai's words, but by the people around them. Those elders who said they were naughty admired Ma Dai! Really. Really.
"That's awesome! General Talkative!" one of the 'lords' shouted excitedly. Ma Dai's face changed, "You bastard! Don't use the word Talkative!"

However, what Ma Dai didn't notice was that Ma Chao was stunned. "Dai, when did you grow a brain?"
"Brother, I think what Dai said makes sense."

"good."

Liu Bei nodded in response to Zhang Fei's words, and even his gaze towards Ma Dai and Ma Chao became much softer.

"In my opinion, why don't we just forget it?" Zhang Fei laughed out loud.

Unexpectedly, Liu Bei shook his head and said, "The merits are merits, and the faults are faults. How can the merits offset the faults? It is a fact that Chao and Dai beat officials, and it is also a fact that they hindered the county residents. There is no room for rebuttal. Third brother, please deal with it according to these."

"what?"

The two brothers who thought they had escaped danger looked up in confusion. Even though they had good intentions, could this not excuse their crime?
Liu Bei had said so, Zhang Fei had no more excuses for the Ma brothers. He cleared his throat, "Ma Chao, Ma Dai, you two, beat up the law enforcement city guards in the street, colluded with your accomplices to hinder the people, and you are the nephews of the county officials! However, considering that you two are young, you will be locked up in the prison for three days, and after serving your sentence, you will be sent to help in the pig pen for seven days. As for the rest of you, notify the adults at home and keep a close watch on you!"

After saying this, Zhang Fei waved his hand. Several city guards immediately understood and hurriedly held down Ma Chao and Ma Dai's arms.

Ma Chao and Ma Dai did not resist, especially Ma Chao. He felt jealous when he thought of Ma Dai's outstanding performance just now. He secretly made up his mind that no, Dai could think of a way, and he could also think of a beautiful way to make his lord look at him differently!

What can be done?

After thinking about it, Ma Chao suddenly had an idea in his mind.

Three words gradually emerged.

Shangshu Ling!
So he immediately shouted: "General Zhengnan, please ask the Minister of the Chancellery Fa Zheng Fa Xiao Zhi to come and rescue Dai and me!"

"."

Liu Bei and Zhang Fei were both frowning. Did they really think they were incompetent?
The snotty-nosed 'General Zhengnan' actually nodded, patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, General, I'll ask the Minister of the Court to come and rescue the prison later!"

"."

Liu Bei and Zhang Fei's faces became even darker.

Ma Dai spoke up at this time, "Brother, how can you say that?"

Hearing this voice, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei's expressions eased a lot, but it was too early for them to be happy.

All he could hear was Ma Dai shouting, "Brother, they are being put under house arrest. How can we find the Minister of Chancellery?!"

Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, "."
