Fang Xu, Zhang San, Wang Long, Li Hu, Shan Baihu, that red-faced man...
A group of people led more than a hundred people to stand in the middle of the camp with sullen eyebrows.
Chen Kan stood in front of a group of people with a half-smile expression on his face.
He said: "Fang Xu!"
Fang Xu lowered his head and responded like a quail: "My subordinate is here."
Chen Kan looked at him and asked with a smile: "Fang Baihu, tell me what kind of crime is gambling in the military."
"The imperial decree states that those who gamble will have their hands chopped off, and those who gamble in the army will be punished by one level, and they will be assassinated thousands of miles away."
After Fang Xu finished speaking, he retracted into the team.
Chen Kan looked at the large group of people in front of him with hatred. They were all old men he brought out from the Jinyi Guards. They were like elders in the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division.
He opened his mouth, and after a while, he said bitterly: "You know the law and break the law, you really give me shame!"
Wrestling is the favorite entertainment activity of these rough men with excess energy in the army, and Chen Kan also likes to watch it.
So wrestling is okay.
But if there is gambling interspersed with it, the nature is different.
Fortunately, Grandpa Taizu has passed away now, otherwise everyone, including Chen Kan and Gu Cheng, would be in trouble if this matter were to be reported back to the capital today.
The point is, they are law enforcers themselves.
This is why Chen Kan is really angry.
When law enforcers do not take the law seriously, the so-called law becomes a piece of paper.
How can the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division convince the public when they enforce the law in the future?
"Sir, I realize my mistake."
Li Hu walked out of the crowd, his eyebrows lowered and he looked like a wronged little daughter-in-law.
"You're still aggrieved."
Chen Kan almost laughed out of anger. The instigator actually felt wronged and made it seem like it was not his fault.
Li Hu said: "My lord, I accept my punishment and please let my brothers go."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Long drew his knife and swung it hard at his arm.
"when!"
Li Hu's knife hit the back of Chen Kan's knife, and a large gash was instantly made on the blade.
Chen Kan said angrily: "Okay, who should I show it to?"
Li Hu took back the knife that had made a gap with some shame, and whispered: "Sir, I don't dare to do it anymore."
"Li Hu was fined half a year's salary, and the others were fined three months. I've been thrown into the middle of Shu for this shameful thing."
After everyone heard this, they couldn't help but glance at Chen Kan.
They all said in unison: "My subordinates are willing to accept punishment."
"Go back to the capital!"
Chen Kan finished the order angrily, beckoned Shan Baihu over, and told him: "Please tell Shan Baihu to tell the old Marquis that I have returned to the capital, and ask him not to worry about me."
Shan Baihu said solemnly: "Yes, I will definitely bring the message to you due to my humble position."
After giving instructions to Shan Baihu, Chen Kan angrily walked toward the riverside with his hands behind his back.
…
…
"In the midst of the colorful clouds of the White Emperor, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are returned in one day. The apes on both sides of the bank can't stop crying, and the light boat has passed the Ten Thousand Mountains."
Standing on the edge of the ship, Chen Kan looked at the scenery on both sides of the strait and couldn't help but chanted this famous poem by Li Taibai loudly.
Then he tightened his robe and spit several mouthfuls of saliva into the river.
The weather in mid-November was already very cold. When Chen Kan was chanting just now, a large mouthful of biting cold wind was poured into his mouth.
This is truly drinking the northwest wind.
After coming out of Kuizhou, Chen Kan has been staying in the room.
Because of gambling, Fang Xu and others did not dare to trouble Chen Kan. They just delivered three meals to his room on time every day.
Passing by Zigui again today, Chen Kan finally couldn't sit still anymore and ran out on the deck to express his feelings.
Fang Xu and Zhang San estimated that Chen Kan was in a better mood today, so they came up to him with a straight face and asked, "Sir, what do you want to eat today?"
Chen Kan turned around and frowned when he saw two flattering faces.
"Didn't you see that I'm full from the northwest wind?"
Chen Kan said angrily, turned around and left.
Mainly because they were an eyesore, and Chen Kan had always had a clear distinction between love and hate, so he was not in the mood to act like a polite corporal.
Fang Xu and Zhang San looked at each other and sighed helplessly.
They had learned enough about Chen Kan's yin and yang look when delivering meals these days.
…
When Chen Kan went out again, he could already see the walls of the capital in the distance.
After two months, he finally set foot in the world's largest and most populous city again.
During the trip to Shuzhong, everyone missed the prosperity of the capital very much. Seeing the cheering expressions on the faces of his lieutenants, Chen Kan finally showed a long-lost smile.
The big ship docked steadily on the dock. He waved his hand and said, "Everyone has a day off!"
After being away for so long, Chen Kan was naturally eager to return home.
Especially since he is getting married in less than half a month, and his family has not prepared anything yet.
How does this work?
He promised to give the cute girl with big eyes an unforgettable wedding.
Chen Kan is not a person who breaks his word.
As soon as he returned to the mansion, Chen Kan asked Yuncheng to summon all the servants in the family.
Perfumes and soaps are being produced in full swing in the Chen Mansion's backyard.
Countless soaps and perfumes flow out from here every day, in exchange for large amounts of gold, silver and copper coins.
Now he was suddenly stopped by Chen Kan, and the servants' eyes suddenly showed confusion.
Gathering all the approximately one hundred servants in the Chen Mansion, Chen Kan held out two fingers to them.
"I will announce two things now."
Facing the puzzled looks from his superiors and subordinates, Chen Kan said: "The first thing is that the factory building for producing perfume and soap has been built. I will select some masters from among you to teach new people in the factory. Those who are willing to go can find them. Sign up for Cloud Butler.”
"The second thing is that in half a month, your master, that is, me, will be getting married to the current Princess Chang Ning. You can arrange the Chen Mansion. After the wedding, Her Royal Highness and I will still live in the Chen Mansion. "
After announcing these two things, Chen Kan dismissed his servants, called Yuncheng over and said: "Go to Shibafang and invite some carpenters to come over. In addition, take people to buy some isinglass, collodion, and bamboo strips." …”
After giving all these instructions, Chen Kan returned to his study, picked up his pen, and began to draw.
What he said to the cute girl with big eyes that day at Linggu Temple was not just bragging.
He really planned to build a large Kongming Lantern to marry Zhu Yuelan.
What kind of wedding is more unforgettable than flying in the sky?
At least in this era, it's unique.
The large Kongming Lantern is, to put it bluntly, a hot air balloon.
Chen Kan couldn't build an airplane, but building a hot air balloon, a must-have for time travellers, was not something he could easily do.
No pressure, just a thief!
