Discipline the Fourth Prince? Why? What does he have to do with me? I don't care!
This was Ah Liu's simple and sincere understanding. He didn't think about the expressions and feelings of the people who followed Yuquan and the Fourth Prince out of the palace when they heard what he said, nor did he care about how surprised Liu Zhiyuan was at this moment, pulling his beard, and he didn't even pay attention to Zhang Shou's expression of wanting to laugh but trying hard to hold it back.
Seeing the Fourth Prince looking up in surprise, as if he was about to say something, he said seriously: "I am a very strict person. I have taught Yang Hao, Zheng Dang and many others martial arts. Fourth Prince, ask them how much suffering they have endured?"
Yang Hao and Zheng Dang were from Rongshui Village, and they were the ones who were most familiar with Ah Liu. However, Ah Liu in Rongshui Village and Ah Liu who claimed to be the housekeeper in Zhang Garden in Beijing were completely different people! If Ah Liu in Rongshui Village was a boy with no expression, didn't like to talk to people, and seemed not so sociable, then Ah Liu in Zhang Garden was even scarier than a ghost!
So, the two looked at each other, and out of consideration for the Fourth Prince, Yang Hao said hesitantly: "Fourth Prince, Sixth Brother is ruthless when it comes to disciplining people. Before, when we were practicing martial arts, quite a few of us were lazy and slack, and as a result... several of us were hung up and beaten..."
Zhang Shou had always been a person who didn't care about household affairs. He had so many things to do and so many students that he couldn't handle them all. The huge Zhang Garden was managed by Wu, and there was also Ah Liu, who called himself the housekeeper, and Hua Qi who came to help him train a group of children from time to time. Why did he care about so many things? As for the future, when Zhu Ying married him, would he still need to worry about the backyard
Therefore, this was the first time he had heard of someone being hung up and beaten, and he was shocked. Especially when he saw Yuquan, a female official of Qingning Palace whom he had met several times, with a strange expression on her face, he immediately asked, "Ah Liu, even if you are teaching someone martial arts, why do you have to hang them up and beat them?"
Seeing that the Fourth Prince was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he wanted to retreat but felt it was inappropriate, so he just stood in front of him. Ah Liu muttered in a low voice: "Hanging someone up and beating him are two different things."
When Yang Hao saw Ah Liu glance at him, he shuddered and explained hurriedly, "Yes, yes, I'll hang you up and beat you! If you get up late and don't want to do morning exercises, Brother Liu will punish you by hanging you on the pole for 25 minutes. If you're lazy during morning exercises or mess up the formation, Brother Liu will practice with you alone."
At this point, even Zhang Shou was speechless. This is what is called hanging up and beating up, which are two different things! Let's not talk about hanging up, and beating up is even simpler. With the group of kids at home, let alone practicing alone, even if they rush up together, it is estimated that they are not enough to fill the gap between Ah Liu's teeth. So, this is a one-sided beating - Yang Hao hung up and beat, and there was not a single word of falsehood!
Although the fourth prince was only a little boy, he was also a smart guy. Of course, he understood everything at this moment. His face, which was already pale, was about to cry. He only remembered that he was lying on Ah Liu's back and felt free and happy, but he forgot that when he was spanked, it was also merciless. If people were as strict as Zhu Tingfang, wouldn't he be asking for a beating
