Chapter 277: Ambush
For a moment, he only smelled the laughter of Jibei Hou, and after laughing, Jibei Hou was silent for a while, returned to normal, adjusted his crown clothes, looked at Shen Zhi and asked: "Mr. Shen, do you have anything to add? Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½β
Shen Zhi thought about it for a while, and then stepped forward: "Hou Ye refuses to be a fish on Da Xu's chopping board, and leaves a way out overseas, thinking very slightly." β
"If you succeed, or if you have the opportunity to become a Chan, if you don't, you can also be a real fief lord overseas, which is also a beautiful thing. β
"It's just Master Hou, there is still a month left for Qincha, we can calmly lay out, plan the plan more carefully, and test the people in the state. β
"As soon as the Qin mission arrives, he will take the opportunity to make trouble, wipe out the governor, and control the state city, and there will be no one to obstruct the Hou Ye in Yingzhou. β
"But it's not enough, Da Xu originally didn't have many naval troops, as long as one of Yingzhou got it, several states in the south could land at any time, and then Hou Ye could crisscross the south, and he could advance or retreat. β
"The enterer is the business of the king, attacking the city and plundering the land, and establishing an official system. β
"Retreat can also erode thousands of miles, and the people are not able to make a living, which damages the overall situation of the country. β
"And to achieve the goal, you have to win over and control the water army. β
"Mr. Shen is really talented, this plan is thorough, then Chen Ping is the key. Jibei Hou laughed for a while, and his confidence increased by a few points.
"Yes, Master Hou, Chen Ping must be pulled on the boat, this person will eventually have a lot of old subordinates, and we will cooperate to make it happen, but the governor is dealing with him, we just need to wait for a while, and the time will come." Shen Zhi said this, and also sneered.
In normal times, Chen Ping refused to follow, but the civil officials have always hated the generals and thought of ways to cut them, and Chen Ping was almost cornered.
Wei Ang listened, his eyes looked at the lake, and there was another gust of wind, and some red maple leaves fell into the water with the wind, stirring up a pool of waves.
"Then wait another month!"
In a blink of an eye, it was early winter, and the weather became cold, although there was no snow, the wind was cold, the water was cold, and Houfu Lake formed a thin layer of ice.
The stove in the study of the Hou Mansion was booming, and the Hou of Jibei sat down, listening to Shen Zhi's announcement.
"Master Hou, this morning's news, Governor Gong Yun has imprisoned the guerrilla general Wang Jugui for the crime of corruption, but he is also eyeing Chen Ping, according to the intelligence, he is going to do something to Chen Ping, and now Chen Ping goes to the camp less, and he is sick and closed at home. Shen Zhi smiled.
Hearing this, Jibei Hou drank a glass of wine with a "sigh", it was cold in winter, and a cup of medicinal wine in the morning activated blood and dispelled blood stasis, and he took a long breath and sighed: "Happy, it seems that God still pities me and wants to help me, haha." β
Jibei Hou's face was ruddy, with a hint of a smile, it was strange to say, he made up his mind, and looked a few years younger, and then knocked on the table: "Mr. Shen, the governor wants to deal with Chen Ping, let's take this opportunity to persuade Chen Ping, but today is the day when the Qin mission arrives, how are you prepared?"
"This month, we have secretly contacted all the people above the ninth grade in the state, who is willing to follow us, who is wavering, and who is resolutely opposed. β
"It must have revealed a lot, but it doesn't matter if something happens anyway. β
"Once there is an incident, it will immediately strike a thunderous blow and wipe out all the die-hard elements loyal to the imperial court, so that Yingzhou can be obtained and peaceful. β
As soon as he spoke, someone came over and whispered a few words, and the Marquis of Jibei sneered for a while: "Mr. Shen, the Qin mission is here, is there any document from the Governor's Mansion to deal with Chen Ping?"
Shen Zhi touched his chin and smiled: "I have sent a secret man who is ambushed in the Governor's Mansion to steal the Governor's copy against Chen Ping, but it has not been obtained depending on the situation, but we need it, and we have it now." β
"The good news that Master Hou is waiting for me is. Shen straightened up, straightened his clothes, and turned around to go out.
Chen Ping Mansion
Shen Zhi entered the mansion and was led into the study by someone, the maid served tea, Chen Ping had not come yet, Shen Zhi took a look, there was a sword hanging in the study, which was worth a lot.
After taking a sip of tea, Chen Ping hurriedly entered, saw Shen Zhi, and squeezed out a smile: "Mr. Shen is here." β
Shen Zhi looked at Chen Ping, only to see that the white hair was there, the wrinkles on his face were very deep, he looked like he was more than ten years old, he was coughing while walking, and the two maids were helping him to sit in the main seat.
"Ahem" Chen Ping coughed, stretched out his hand and pulled the jacket on his body: "In recent days, I have occasionally felt cold, and I hope Mr. Shen will forgive me." β
With a wave of his hand, the maids withdrew.
Chen Ping coughed again, and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Shen is here this time, presumably Master Hou has something to order, if you have something to say, just say it!"
Chen Ping's eyes were a little dazed, and Shen Zhi didn't want to say this, so he only took out a fold in his sleeve: "This is the report of the Governor's Mansion today, General Wang was killed, General Chen, take a look." β
Shen Zhi handed over the Di newspaper, saw Chen Pin take the Di newspaper, and said lightly: "This is General Chen." β
"What?!" Chen Ping glanced at it, and his hands trembled when he heard this.
"I said!" Shen Zhi lost his smile: "The governor is going to take the head of the general!"
These words were cold in the winter of March, making people freeze in their bones, Chen Ping's body trembled, staring at Shen Zhi fiercely, hoarse and about to speak, before the words came out, he coughed, his face suddenly turned red, and he covered his mouth for a long time before he raised his head and said hoarsely: "Impossible, although I have a small crime, how can you kill me?"
Shen Zhi sneered and pointed to the mansion.
"Unauthorized dispatch of officers and soldiers to catch salt barons, resulting in the death of three good people. β
"Venture into military merit and promote your sons, nephews, and relatives. β
"The newspaper team is one hundred and nineteen, but there are only ninety-two members, and they are greedy for empty salaries!"
"Accept eight thousand taels of silver from the lower officials. β
Shen Zhi read Wang Jugui's crimes one by one, and his eyes turned to look at him: "Do you dare to say that you have not committed these crimes?"
"Ahem" Chen Ping's face became blue and pale, his hands were clenched tightly, his eyes were red, and he suddenly hissed and pushed the table down: "I'm just eating some empty noise, what's it, cronyism, what's the point, who doesn't do this? You came today just to see my jokes?"
Shen looked straight at it, Chen Ping's eyes were bloodshot, his eyes were blue, he was wearing thick clothes, and his chest was lying together.
"I'm not here to see your jokes!" Shen Zhi stared coldly, with a cold smile on the corner of his mouth: "If you want to talk about it completely, a product is only 605 taels a year." β
"There are no officials and military attachΓ©s in the world, and if you don't stretch out your hand, you will starve to death. β
"But having said that, you can say to the governor, to the superintendent, to the emperor, that people are cats raised by the imperial court, and catching a mouse is a merit. β
"As long as you commit a crime, you can justifiably use the law of the country to kill you - you only have one way to die!" Shen Zhiyin smiled and handed over another document: "Look at this, you won't live for a few days!"
Chen Ping's body trembled, suppressed the idea of throwing away this document, unfolded it, and saw the governor's instructions above: "Once you investigate to the end, you must wipe out the corruption moths and the scum of the court.
It has been half a year since the governor arrived in Yingzhou, this is indeed the governor's pen, Chen Ping saw this, his face was blue and white, and his whole body was slumped on the chair as if he had lost his tendons, his eyes were bloodshot, his eyes were confused, and he just muttered: "No, it's impossible." β
Shen Zhi stepped forward and stared at Chen Ping: "General Chen, do you feel wronged? Do you feel angry? You even feel that you have made meritorious contributions and shed blood, and you still have the heart of luck?"
"Have you ever heard of the thorn theory, the emperor wants to pull out all the heroes for the sake of the prince!"
As soon as these words fell, there was silence in the study, Chen Ping's whole body trembled, he had heard of thorns, he opened his mouth for a while, and wanted to speak, but before he made a sound, he became choked, tears flowed down, and he said for a long time: "What should I do?"
"What to do, only the fish die and the net is broken. Shen Zhi smiled: "I have a place to go, but I can settle your family, do you want to do it?"
Chen Ping was taken aback, and wanted to speak, but at this moment, the voice of the housekeeper came, and he shouted loudly outside the study: "Master, master, it's not good, someone from the Governor's Mansion has come and asked you to go and see you." β
"Come in, help me out. Chen Ping said that he was sick, and he was indeed a little sick, and the two maids at the door hurriedly entered and helped him out.
Before he went out, an official strode in with two captains, and the swords of the two captains clanged, and Chen Ping's face turned white when he saw this.
This official is just an eighth grade, he glanced at Chen Ping with disgust, and did not pity Chen Ping's sick appearance at all, and said coldly: "This month, the Japanese invaders have attacked again and again, harassing the coast, this is because you are not effective in suppressing the Kou, the Governor has issued a document asking you to suspend you from your post and wait for review, you don't have to go to the barracks these days." β
Hearing this, Chen Ping coughed for a while, and the housekeeper hurriedly stepped forward, said good words and handed over the silver ticket, and the official eased his tone a little, and said: "You should reflect on it and write an apology carefully, maybe there will be some turnaround, if you resist, there is only a dead end." β
Saying that, without hesitation, he turned around and left, Chen Ping's dignified fourth-grade general, who was bullied by these eight-rank civil officials, suddenly blushed with anger, and looked back to see Shen Zhi appear, Chen Ping gritted his teeth and smiled: "It's done, I'll go and contact the old department." β
"General Chen is a hero!" Shen Zhi took the ambush in one fell swoop, and his heart was overjoyed, but he said: "The times create heroes, and heroes can also create the times, but do you still have pro-soldiers who dare to kill people and take the army for you?"
Chen Ping was stunned, thinking about it, his face suddenly turned white, and Shen Zhi smiled: "This is the prestige of the imperial court. β
"But Master Hou knows your predicament very well, and he has prepared it, you see!"
With a wave of his hand, twenty soldiers came in and saluted with a "snap", Chen Ping saw it, he made up his mind, and did not hesitate, and raised his eyebrows, revealing a murderous aura: "Go, follow me to the camp." β
Watching Chen Ping go away, Shen Zhi secretly sighed in his heart, people who understand the system and politics know that in fact, this life and death is decided by these twenty pro-soldiers.
It is precisely because he understands this that the Marquis of Jibei refuses to retreat, as long as he retreats and receives the order, within a few months, the trees will suddenly fall and scatter, and he can't even pull ten personal soldiers.
When the time comes, you can be humiliated and killed as soon as you catch it!
