Chapter 893: Panic
"Commander-in-chief, he ...... What does he mean by this? Didn't you say that he didn't mean to embarrass us? But now this ......" Wang Gao was a little uncalm, and asked anxiously.
Chen Rui didn't speak, stroked his chin and frowned in thought.
Qin Gong next to him hesitated, and said tentatively: "Could it be that the courtesy is too light?"
Wang Gao jumped up and said loudly: "It's still light?!It's a whole three thousand taels of silver, and there are so many antiques, calligraphy and paintings, that's not enough? That kid's appetite is inevitably too big!"
Qin Gong muttered: "Who in this world would be afraid of having a lot of money......?
Wang Gao was furious: "Old Qin, what do you mean by this!"
Qin Gong was stunned and smirked: "No, that's what I said." That kid was a new upstart, and he finally got such an opportunity, and he didn't want to scrape the ground?"
Wang Gao said angrily: "That can't be too much! This can't even see the face, hmph, anyway, Lao Tzu is gone, what's the love." ”
Qin Gong said faintly: "I'm afraid that people will just wait for this one? The so-called one dozen and one pull, the way of being an official is nothing more than that. When a new official takes office, he can't all be a group of harmony, right? Someone must have been going to get a knife. Hehe, don't be in the eyes of that Shaoqing, you and I are not too suitable......"
Wang Gao was stunned for a moment, and the spirit of the spirit shuddered, and said in shock and anger: "You mean...... He...... Isn't he afraid that he will rush us and cause chaos?"
Qin Gong smiled gloomily and didn't speak, only glanced at Chen Rui, who had been silent all the time.
Wang Gao's face changed, and he slowly sat back in the chair. What he said just now was arrogant, but it was just a mouthful.
The so-called chaos is nothing more than a mutiny. Don't say that he just said that, even if he really wants to launch, there is someone who will never be able to get around. This person is Chen Rui!
Let Chen Rui rebel with them? That's really hehe. Don't you see that this chief soldier has accepted his fate from the beginning? Unlike the two of them, Chen Rui is not only a military general, but also a nobleman.
dignified and peaceful Jiangbo, he has a lot of family business in Beijing. If he dares to make a move, he will lose his head first when he stays in the capital.
Not to mention this, just with Ping Jiangbo's timid and cowardly temperament, even if he is not tired of his family, he will never dare to take that step. Not only not, but if Wang and Qin really dare to have that thought, I am afraid that the first person to raise a knife against them will be this Pingjiang Bo.
Don't think that Chen Rui is timid and doesn't dare to do anything to them, Chen Rui's timidity is external and upward. But if you deal with them, the more cowardly you are, the more murderous you are. Because only the more cruel they are, the more they can show Chen Rui's cleanliness.
Don't doubt this old guy's methods, the three of them have worked together for so many years, and Wang and Qin have already understood him too well. Cowardice, cowardice, greed, and black hands are all labels branded by this chief soldier.
As far as the cart of gifts sent to Su Mo this time is concerned, most of them were contributed by Wang and Qin. If those possessions occupy half of the family property of Wang and Qin, then what Chen Rui paid is not even a dime.
This is also the reason why Wang Gao jumped as soon as he heard the ceremony, it was really painful! In fact, he had never tasted or had a trace of reverie in his heart, if he was really going to force him hard, it was better to simply go the other way.
This anti-is not to say that he wants to rebel and overthrow the imperial court, he is not so big-minded. The opposite he was thinking about was just to pull a group of people out of the border army and find a dangerous mountain and grass to go to.
It's just that this thought has just had a little bit, and it was dispelled by Qin Gong's hint at a glance. Although he seemed calm at this time, the slightly trembling corners of his sleeves revealed the real fear in his heart.
"Enough! What nonsense!" Sensing the small movements of the two hands, Chen Rui, who had been silent in thought, slapped the table and scolded angrily.
"The situation is not clear at the moment, so I will mess up my own position first, you have lived to be a dog all these years!" His cold gaze turned on Qin Gong, and then glanced at Wang Gao, who bowed his head and was silent, and then his voice eased slightly.
"Let the people who went there in the morning come up, and let's ask again. The old man thought about it again and again, and always felt that the master did not mean to kill them all. Otherwise, why would you let Eunuch Yao tell us that story?"
At this, he paused. Wang Gao also raised his head suddenly, with a look of anticipation in his eyes.
Chen Rui picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip lightly, then said: "You don't have to think about those who have or don't, hmph, it's not that the old man despises you, in people's hearts, I'm afraid that I don't even remember who you are, how can I have the kung fu to calculate your two miscellaneous fish." I just put my heart in my stomach, and I'm afraid there is something else going on in this matter. ”
Wang Gao and Qin Gong glanced at each other, although Chen Rui's words were ugly, they did seem to have some truth. In the eyes of that master, the two of them are just low-level martial artists, even if they want to kill chickens and monkeys, or find a scapegoat to go out, their level is far from enough.
Thinking like this, neither of them felt relieved.
When the messenger who gave the gift in the morning came up, Chen Rui asked carefully again, and the doubts in the hearts of several people became a little heavier.
The envoy said that he didn't see anyone, not only did he not see Su Mo, but he couldn't even enter the gate of the barracks. It's just that the cart of property was not rejected at all, and it was accepted in full without politeness.
After the envoy went down, the three people in the lobby looked at each other, and their faces were all confused for a while.
What does this mean? Gifts are received, money is taken, but nothing is done...... Isn't that a bit too shameless? Or does it mean something else?
Wang Gao tugged at his beard under his chin, stared and thought for a long time before he hesitated: "Commander-in-chief, could it be that the person who went felt that the identity of the person who went was not enough and disdained to meet him?"
Chen Rui was stunned, his face thoughtful. Is that really the case? But there is no such rule. When the mission comes, it is the duty of the local government to meet it. Didn't you already send Eunuch Yao over first?
When the eunuch Yao came, they all went out to greet each other in person, and they were still ten miles away from the city to greet each other.
As for Su Mo's side, you are still thirty miles away from Datong, and you can't let the guards of the important town here let go of their heavy responsibilities and run thirty miles away, just to welcome you. If this is the case, if it is found by the imperial history, any impeachment can make him unable to eat and walk away.
In other words, Chen Rui and the others, although they have not had any dealings with Su Mo, know a lot about this young genius who suddenly became famous. Judging by his previous actions, he is by no means a fool. Therefore, Wang Gao's statement is completely impossible.
In that case, what is this for? The three of them continued to take the exam.......
Syllable!
Suddenly, Qin Gong, who was sitting at the bottom of the hand, slapped the arm of the chair suddenly, causing Chen Rui and Wang Gao to be startled, and they all looked over.
"Commander-in-chief, the last general just thought of a possibility, perhaps...... Perhaps......" he said hesitantly, with an indescribable panic on his face.
Chen Rui's heart trembled, and he said in a deep voice: "Maybe what?"
Qin Gong's eyes fluttered, his lips twitched a few times, and he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Commander-in-chief, he ...... Could it be that he didn't intend to let us go at all? Eunuch Yao's so-called time for us is actually just a slow tactic, first, to let us relax our vigilance, and second, he uses this time to quietly collect our handles......"
Hiss –
Chen Rui and Wang Gao gasped together, and their faces changed dramatically.
Wang Gao's face was first pale, then blue again, and finally slowly turned red, snapped up, and said angrily: "If he really wants to kill him like this, then let's ...... Let's ......"
He connected the two of us, but he never dared to take it, and only looked at Chen Rui.
Chen Rui trembled slightly, his face was as pale as snow, and there were large drops of sweat on his forehead, and his eyes were a little hollow and murmured: "It shouldn't be like this, it can't be like this......
Qin Gong got up and said, "Commander-in-chief, people's hearts are unpredictable, so we have to guard against it." ”
Wang Gao also said: "Commander-in-chief, do you want to be ...... Well, anyway, you've got to come up with a charter. ”
was forced by the two of you to say a word, and Chen Rui couldn't calm down at all. Anxiously he stood up and paced back and forth on the ground with his hands behind his back.
Half-ringing, he suddenly paused his steps, gritted his teeth and said, "No! It's not that far, so we can't mess with ourselves first. Otherwise, it will be too late to turn back. ”
Qin Gong and Wang Gao showed disappointment in their eyes, but they heard Chen Rui say again: "Go, go and invite the old eunuch over." Mader, after eating so much and taking so much, you can't take it for nothing, right? You have to give us a backing, otherwise you ......."
He stopped at this point, but his eyes flashed with madness and resentment. Qin Gong and Wang Gao were overjoyed, glanced at each other, hugged their fists in unison, and turned around.
After a while, the two turned back with ugly faces. Chen Rui's eyes swept away, and his heart suddenly sank, and he said in a trembling voice: "What?"
Wang Gao and Qin Gong glanced at each other, and sighed dejectedly: "No one is there, saying that they went to Xingdu Si early in the morning, and they are going to visit Wen Rang, the eunuch of the prison army." At this time, I was afraid that I would have entered the left guard camp. ”
Bang!
When Chen Rui heard this, his eyes went dark, and he sat back in the chair with his butt, and he didn't wake up for a long time.
Here we have to talk about the specific situation of Datong Military Town. The so-called Datong border pass, in fact, does not refer to Datong City, but several guards along the line of the Great Wall. Among them, the Datong garrison is divided into three guards, left, middle and right, each with a leading army and a town.
The full name of the Xingdu Division is the Shanxi Xingdu Division, which is the highest military command post in the entire Datong border pass. According to the Ming military system, every military town must have an inner palace eunuch dispatched by the imperial court to serve as a military supervisor, and have the responsibility of monitoring the generals in the army. The power of his position is so great that on the surface it seems to be under the general army, but in fact it is above it. There is the right to separate tantras, and you can listen to them directly to the sky.
And the place where the eunuchs of the prison army were stationed was in the Xingdu Division, guarded by the most elite left guard.
According to Chen Rui's original plan, he wanted to put Eunuch Yao under house arrest on his side. The first is to interrogate in detail and specifically touch Su Mo's bottom, and the second is to hold that once it is not good, there is a hostage in hand, which can make Su Mo throw a mouse trap and dare not persecute too much.
You must know that once something happens to the eunuch who is with the military supervisor, the leading generals will definitely not be able to please him. But who knows, the old eunuch was so fast, and he ran directly to Xingdu Division early in the morning, so that all his plans failed.
But no one can say anything, the eunuchs of the prison army have their own family, and when they get to the ground, they want to meet their own family, which is completely fine. This made Chen Rui have no reason even if he wanted to use the topic to play.
"Commander-in-chief, now this ...... What can I do?" Wang Gao and Qin Gong were also full of bitterness, and asked hesitantly.
Chen Rui was stunned for a long time, and only after a long time did he take a deep breath, slowly stood up, gritted his teeth, and said: "Order, prepare the horse! Let's go and go in person and meet with that Su Shaoqing for a while!"
