Chapter 314 Recall
Everyone was stunned when they saw Xiao Yao take it for granted and said that he had no evidence to prove that Yinhai Commercial Bank had colluded with the people of Qi State!
Chen Xu looked confused, looking at Xiao Yao dumbfounded, as if he wanted to say something, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something, making him unable to speak.
And Chen Shubao almost jumped up excitedly, and finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: Seeing your Xiao Shilang face just now, I still think that you already have some evidence in your hands, proving that Yinhai Commercial Bank is colluding with the people of Qi State, which made me frightened just now, it turns out that you have been talking about it all along, and there is no evidence in your hand at all!
"Your Majesty, this Xiao Yao really doesn't have any evidence, what he just said is a bunch of nonsense, he is framing Yinhai Commercial Bank, and it is also a crime of deception to Your Majesty! Your Majesty must not spare Xiao Yao lightly! Chen Shubao pleaded with Chen Xu.
"Xiao Yao, you have no evidence or certificate, why do you want to say that Yinhai Commercial Bank is a traitor of our Chen State, and colluded with Qi State? Framing others at will, and it is also the largest trading house in Chen State, do you know that this is a capital crime! Chen Xu was also a little enraged, and said coldly to Xiao Yao with a grim face.
"Just now, His Majesty asked the last general if there were any clues about the traitor, and the last general also said, but he suspected that Yinhai Commercial Bank was suspected of collaborating with the enemy, I don't know why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince reacted so violently, and he also dragged the last general to the crime of framing Zhongliang and bullying the king!" Xiao Yao looked innocent and replied calmly.
"Your Majesty, he himself admitted it just now, and there is no evidence to prove that Yinhai Commercial Bank and Qi people colluded with each other, then he is framing Yinhai Commercial Bank! But now this Xiao Yao is still quibbling, and he has no remorse, but instead accuses Erchen of framing him, which is really hateful! Erchen implores His Majesty to severely punish Xiao Yao, to uphold the court, and to give justice to our Da Chen Zhongliang! Chen Shubao scolded with a righteous face.
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please calm down, don't become so excited as soon as you hear the words Yinhai Commercial Bank! Some things don't make sense out loud! Xiao Yao also replied heavily, which calmed down Chen Shubao and Chen Xu, and Chen Xu's face seemed to soften a little, because he also knew the relationship between Chen Shubao and Yinhai Commercial Bank.
"Your Majesty, if the last general already has evidence to prove that the Yinhai Commercial Bank collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, colluded with the Qi State, and betrayed the secrets of our Chen State, then we will not be talking secretly in this imperial study now, but also interrogating Zhang Dai in the Criminal Department! Although there is no direct evidence to prove that Yinhai Commercial Bank and Qi State colluded, Zhang Dabao said that the Qi State secret agent who kidnapped him was a team of more than 100 people! Your Majesty, this is more than a hundred elite soldiers of the Qi State personally led by Gao Changgong, the God of War of Qi and the King of Lanling, so many people, to come to Jinling City and lurk without knowing it, if there is no one in Jinling City to answer them, this is impossible, Gao Changgong will not take such a risk! Therefore, this person must also have a lot of ability, so that this team of 100 people from the Qi country with a high and long power collar can come to Jinling City smoothly! Xiao Yao said coldly, and he was looking at Chen Shubao intentionally or unintentionally, seeing that he was getting more and more nervous!
"Therefore, there are only a few people who have the ability to avoid our Chen Guo's search and arrange for Gao Changgong's team to infiltrate Jinling City! And Yinhai Commercial Bank, which is the largest trading house in the Chen State and still has trade contacts with the Qi State even during the war between the two countries, is the most suspicious! Only they have the strength to let a team of 100 people lurk in the caravan, and then deceive the generals defending the city and enter Jinling City smoothly! Moreover, the fleet responsible for transporting military supplies to Shouyang that time was the fleet of the Yinhai Trading Company, so they could easily let this hundred-man army blend into the fleet, and then take the opportunity to rob Zhang Dabao and the entire ship of gunpowder needed by our infantry battalion that he was responsible for escorting, which is why I suspect the Yinhai Trading Company! Xiao Yao said word by word, which made Chen Shubao break out in a cold sweat when he heard it, because the truth was exactly what Xiao Yao said, at that time, it was Yinhai Commercial Bank that was responsible for arranging Gao Changgong to lead the team to Jinling, and then mixed into the fleet and robbed Zhang Dabao!
Seeing that Chen Xu was also uncertain, he should be thinking about what Xiao Yao said, and the anxious Chen Shubao immediately retorted: "Then according to your analysis, your general business bank is also very suspicious!" During the war, the General Merchant House also still had trade contacts with the Qi State, and the scale was larger than that of the Yinhai Firm, and your various goods such as white sugar and perfume were specially supplied to the Qi royal family, and it was easier for you to come into contact with the high Changgong of the Qi Imperial Family! There is also the general casino, there is an endless stream of people coming in and out of there every day, and there are people from various countries, I believe that at this moment, there are no less than hundreds of Qi people in the general casino, do you dare to say that there are no Qi spies among these people? Therefore, Zhang Dabao was kidnapped by Gao Changgong, it may be that you are staging a bitter trick, acting in front of us, and transferring suspicion, in fact, you are shouting to catch a thief! ”
"That's right! From this point of view, General Motors is also suspected of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, but it is impossible for me to doubt them! Xiao Yao said with a sneer.
"Why?" Chen Xu and Chen Shubao, father and son, asked at the same time.
"Because I can't doubt the General Firm! Just like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been defending the Yinhai Firm just now, as a half-young owner of the General Firm, even if I am a member of the General Firm, how can I suspect that my Firm's firm is a traitor who collaborates with the enemy and betrays the country? So I can only suspect Yinhai Commercial Bank! Xiao Yao looked like he took it for granted, and suddenly made Chen Xu's father and son lose their temper. Number Six
It turns out that you Xiao Shilang said so much confidently and analyzed it for so long, in fact, it was because of the grievances between your General Merchant House and Yinhai Firm, and they suspected each other and attacked each other, and you still have no evidence of who is a traitor who collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country!
"Forget it, don't argue, Yinhai Commercial Bank and General Commercial Bank are the two largest commercial houses in our Chen Kingdom, but now the two of you are staging such mutual attacks in front of me, suspicious of each other, and spreading it is simply embarrassing our Chen Guo's face and making people laugh at it! And now you are still in the Northern Expedition, Huaibei has not yet been taken, you have had internal strife first, have you taken me in your eyes, are you still not a loyal general of our Chen State? Chen Xu slammed the table hard, and immediately quieted down the entire imperial study!
"Your Majesty, please calm your anger!" Xiao Yao and Chen Shubao said in unison, stopping the argument about who was the spy of the two firms.
"What Shiro said just now, this Yinhai Trading House is indeed suspicious, and the prince's suspicion of General Commerce Trading Bank is also reasonable! I will send someone to investigate this matter strictly, and I must find out! I can't imagine that there is a traitor in our Dachen court, we must find him out and crush him to death, otherwise there is such a traitor by his side, what else will our Dachen talk about the Northern Expedition to Qi and unify the Central Plains! Chen Xu said fiercely with a murderous face!
"Xiao Yao, this time I let you enter the palace to see me, mainly to explain why you led someone to smash the Four Seasons Restaurant, I didn't expect to be almost distracted by you using this traitor and fooled the past! Although your explanation just now is also reasonable, but a mistake is a mistake, and in broad daylight, in full view of everyone, openly flouting the royal law, and smashing a good Four Seasons Restaurant into a mess! So I must punish you and give an explanation to the people of the world! Say, what do you want me to do with you? Chen Xu looked at Xiao Yao and said with a smile.
"Your Majesty can punish as much as he wants, and the general will never complain! Take away the official position of the last general, send the last general to the border to fill the army, or as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, severely punish the last general, behead the last general to show the public, and set an example! Xiao Yao said expressionlessly.
"Charging the army? And send you to the frontier? Haha, isn't that equivalent to sending you to Wu Mingche? That old fox who guards the short has always treated you as a treasure, and if you go to him, how will I punish you? And you have just escaped from danger and returned to Jinling, and now you are also recovering from a serious illness, if I transfer you to Shouyang now, it will be too unkind! Moreover, in the Northern Expedition, your troops have also suffered heavy losses, and now they are useless, so you should stay in Jinling honestly! Chen Xu stroked his beard and smiled.
Then he glanced at Chen Shubao, who was a little unconvinced, and continued: "As for what kind of severe punishment and beheading, it is even more impossible, after all, there are no injuries, let alone deaths, smashed, and rebuilt!" Of course, this money must be lost to you, didn't you say that you are half of the owner of the general firm, now this general firm is making money every day, presumably you also have a lot of money hidden in private! And you have to apologize to Boss Zhang in public, after all, he is also a leading figure in our Chen State, but today you were so angry that he vomited blood and fell into a coma! ”
"Your Majesty, if you want to lose money, the last general is willing, after all, it was the last general who made the first move and smashed this Four Seasons Restaurant! But if you want to apologize to this businessman who doesn't respect our Dachen soldiers, it will never work! Although the last general is humble, he is also the mighty general of our Chen country, representing the 100,000 brave soldiers of our Great Chen! If I want to apologize to this Zhang Dai in a low voice, isn't this a blow to the morale of our Dachen soldiers, and isn't it tantamount to telling the world that we, the soldiers who fought bloodily for the country, are not even as good as these lowly businessmen and the like? If you want to apologize to this Zhang Dai, then Your Majesty will still behead me to show the public, even if I die, I Xiao Yao will never regret what I did today! Xiao Yao said with a proud and fearless face.
"You, why are you so stubborn, didn't Wu Mingche say that you are a clever little fox? You don't know how bad the impact is when you smashed the Four Seasons Restaurant in public today, and now the people in the entire Jinling City are paying attention to this matter, and this Yinhai Commercial Bank is also deeply rooted in Chen Guo! You, you can't apologize to Zhang Dai, it's okay to be hypocritical, and then let this matter pass smoothly, so it's good for everyone! Chen Xu angrily pointed at Xiao Yao and scolded.
"The last general will never apologize! If Shiro was just the little blacksmith who wandered the rivers and lakes back then, and offended a big man like Zhang Dai, I would have asked me to kowtow to him and admit my mistakes, and I could drill my crotch, but now Shiro already has a military position, and he represents the soldiers of the entire Da Chen, so even if he dies, his waist must be straight! Xiao Yao held his head high and said stubbornly.
"You, you Xiao Shilang, you're really getting an inch, I really think I can't cure you, right? Okay, you said that you have a military position and represent the soldiers of the entire Da Chen, right? Anyway, now that your troops have been abolished, you are a bare-bones general, well, now I will remove you from the post of General Weilie, I see how you still represent our 100,000 soldiers of Da Chen! Chen Xu was also angry, he was out of love for talent, so he had been defending Xiao Yao and wanted to make this matter a big deal, but this Xiao Yao was so stubborn that he refused to apologize to Zhang Dai, and he kept saying that he represented the 100,000 soldiers of the Chen State, which made Chen Xu even more uncomfortable to listen to, and it seemed that these troops were your Xiao Yao's! You must know that everything in Chen Guo belongs to me, and even these 100,000 soldiers belong to me alone!
"Come on, take down Xiao Yao's name as a mighty general, expel him from the army, and demote him to a civilian! If you still want to make contributions in the army, establish a future, or even continue to lead your subordinates to find Gao Changgong for revenge, when you figure it out, come to see me when you have it! After Chen Xu finished speaking, he threw off the sleeves of his robe, and then turned around and left angrily.
"Shiro, thank Your Majesty for not killing!" Xiao Yao bowed his head and saluted, and then showed a sneer that his plan had succeeded!
