At this moment, the situation here alarmed a large number of people to come over.

On the first deck, there were ordinary boat passengers, and these people couldn't help but laugh when they saw the scared boy who peed his pants, pointing and pointing at the side.

On the deck of the third layer at the top, Xue Jian looked down and saw that this person was rescued, so he didn't bother to care about it.

Since God saved his life, forget it.

Of course, if this guy doesn't give up, he doesn't mind giving him another ride.

The Fifth Prince and the others also rushed over at this moment, and when they saw the bloodstains on the ground and the crowd of onlookers on the deck below, they couldn't help frowning.

Yurou followed, she had already learned everything from the situation reported below, and at this moment she had a difficult face and said.

"Mr. Xue, this Chen Gongzi is also our guest of honor of the Xiangma Chamber of Commerce, and I am really sorry for the unhappiness that happened between you and our dereliction of duty. ”

Xue Jian waved his hand and said.

"It's none of Miss Yurou's business, it's this guy who came up to make trouble on his own, and he deserves it. ”

Yurou looked a little worried, hesitated for a moment and said.

"This Chen Gongzi is indeed a bit arrogant, but his father is in a high position in the imperial city, and I am worried that this will bring trouble to Mr. Xue and his party. ”

Xue Jian naturally didn't care about this, no matter how powerful he was, could he be as powerful as the prince next to him?

The fifth prince asked curiously.

"Where did this man come from?"

Yurou explained.

"His father is General Chen, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army in the Imperial City, and he is very powerful, fortunately our people saved him, otherwise Mr. Xue would definitely not be able to go to the Imperial City again this time. ”

General Chen, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, the five princes immediately knew who this person was.

"It turns out that he is the son of Chen Yufan, I have long heard that this son of Chen Yufan is a pustule, domineering, lustful, usually does not do less to bully men and women, and rob the people's women, this time he has hit a hard nail. ”

Yurou's heart sank, and she couldn't help but glance at the five princes.

She had long seen that among this group of people, this person was the most noble, and his identity must not be simple, but she didn't expect this person's tone to be so big, it seems that his origin may be even greater than that of the commander of the Royal Forest Army.

At this time, the old shopkeeper Chu Tianming said calmly.

"This man is of great use to us. ”

Although the fifth prince didn't know what the use of this pusbag was, he still gave an order and sent the young man Wu Luo to pick up the boy who was scared of peeing his pants.

This time, when he saw Xue Jian, he was no longer arrogant, but completely afraid.

Usually he is overbearing outside, one is to rely on the guards behind him, and the other is to rely on his own commander.

And now, the guards and servants have all been injured and thrown away, and the name of the father is no longer useful, and he knows what it means to be afraid.

Immediately he fell to his knees and pleaded bitterly.

"Uncle spare my life, uncle spare my life, I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore. ”

When Yurou saw this scene, she was a little surprised, the notorious Chen Gongzi would be afraid of being like this.

The fifth prince looked at Chu Tianming and listened to him.

"Lock this person up first, and when you get to the imperial city, submit it directly to the Criminal Department, and then you will write an excerpt and refer to him Chen Yufan. ”

Hearing this, Chen Gongzi's begging for mercy immediately stopped abruptly, he looked at the group of people in front of him with wide eyes, and asked in a trembling voice.

"Who are you?"

Wu Luo stepped forward, a hint of a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, patted his head hard, and spat.

"What nonsense, follow me. ”

After saying that, he dragged the man with one hand into the courtyard.

Yurou watched this scene blankly, shocked in her heart.

What is the origin of this old man and the young man next to him, who can actually join the commander of the Royal Forest Army.

A group of people returned to the courtyard, and when Yurou left, the fifth prince asked suspiciously.

"Teacher, don't you completely offend Chen Yufan by doing this. ”

After all, he is the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, and his subordinates control the soldiers and horses guarding the imperial city, and it is not wise to offend such a person.

Chu Tianming asked calmly.

"Who is Chen Yufan, do you know?"

The fifth prince had also heard something about this person, so he said slowly.

"This person was originally a ruffian, with little culture, relying on fighting for his life on the battlefield, killing a captain, and later followed the general Ishihara, before he rose to prominence, became a commander all the way, transferred back to the imperial city from the border, and controlled the Imperial Forest Army. ”

Chu Tianming shook his head and said unsatisfied.

"Chen Yufan, to put it bluntly, is a dog from Ishihara, but it bites people the most, so it is reused.

As a general, Ishihara wields great power, and his support is extremely important to any prince. ”

Hearing this, even Xue Jian was a little confused.

Since this Chen Yufan is Ishihara's subordinate, then they have captured the son of his subordinate, and they want to defeat his subordinate, can they still get the support of others?

Isn't that hateful?

Chu Tianming explained with a smile.

"Power is just a trick to play with people's hearts, do you really think that Ishihara values this subordinate very much?

In times of war, this fierce dog is the most powerful weapon, and in peacetime, this dog will bring countless troubles.

How many times has Ishihara wiped Chen Yufan's ass over the years, he must have wanted to kill him in his heart, but he was afraid of chilling the hearts of his soldiers, so he blindly connived and shielded him.

And this time, the fifth prince personally caught his son and committed murder, and he participated in Chen Yufan's book, Ishihara will definitely maintain it on the surface, but he is grateful to you in his heart, understand?"

The fifth prince and Xue Jian suddenly realized.

They only see the most superficial and superficial things, but they forget the complexity of the human heart and the real humanity hidden deep in the shadows.

"Taught!"

The fifth prince bent down, and the respect for Chu Tianming in his heart was even more.

Xue Jian couldn't help but secretly praise, Jiang was still old and spicy.

Since they all opened their mouths, Chu Tianming simply trayed out the thoughts in his heart.

Chen Yufan seemed to be in a high position, but in fact, when he returned to the imperial city to serve as the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, he was destined to be reduced to an outcast.

Ishihara also did not find the next suitable successor, otherwise he would definitely not have lived until now. ”

Xue Jian said.

"This is called the death of the cunning rabbit and the cooking of the lackey. ”

Chu Tianming nodded and continued.

"After the five princes enter Beijing, they can first join Chen Yufan's book, but they will definitely not be able to defeat him, so as to win a trace of Ishihara's gratitude first, we can slowly figure it out and find a suitable successor for him, so as long as Chen Yufan makes a mistake next time, it will be his death.

Of course, Chen Yufan's death is not important to us, what is important is that this new commander-in-chief must be filled by someone from the Five Princes, and it must be secretly supported by Ishihara. ”

The fifth prince's eyes sparkled, and he hurriedly asked.

"Is there a suitable person for the position of commander?"

Chu Tianming said with a smile.

"I have three people, and each of these three has a fatal weakness, and it is easy to control them. ”
