"When you get in, if the official asks you, just say that the government guards caught a few pheasants, don't say they only caught one," he instructed.
"But... Sir, aren't you teaching me to lie? How could I dare?" The servant was troubled, clearly only one pheasant was caught, not several.
"The government guards don't have the skill to catch several pheasants either. Around these hills and fields, where are there still any game?"
"What do you know?"
The Attendant gave the servant a sideways glance.
"The official doesn't often go out, how would he know if there are pheasants in the mountains? Just say what I told you to."
Our official, he always thinks of others when eating. If you say they only caught one pheasant, he definitely would give his bowl of chicken soup to others and wouldn't drink it himself.
Only when there are more pheasants would he be willing to drink a mouthful himself.
"Go on, don't slip up. If anything happens, I'll handle it."
"Well, okay then."
