Chapter 75: Temptation
Outside the city of Lanzhou.
"I really don't understand why the Holy Lord is paying more and more attention to civil officials nowadays, and we old Cheng only have the share of standing on one side." Lao Cheng looked at the magnificent Lanzhou Mansion Gate and muttered.
It is clear that they fought bloodily with the saints, and they were the ones who conquered the world!
Nowadays, in the court, the civil power is higher than that of the military attachΓ©, and the saint Li Shimin is also willing to listen to the words of Fang Xuanling and others.
Niu Jinda could see a little more clearly, knowing that Lao Cheng was sour, with a hint of shame on his face, he persuaded: "I'm afraid that Lao Cheng has misunderstood, it's not that the saint doesn't pay attention to our generals, but he has to do this." β
When it comes to fighting, a group of civilian officials can only stare dryly, but when it comes to self-cultivation, Qi family, and military generals who govern the country, they can't show their hands and feet.
"I once heard the Holy Lord say that it is easy to fight the world, but it is difficult to defend the world." Niu Jinda sighed, "I have to say, the ancient civil officials have a hand in guarding the world......
The world will be safe, unload the armor and return to the field.
While the two were talking, a Tang soldier came to their side.
"Marshal, everything is ready."
Lao Cheng nodded, put away the topic, and walked into the mansion with Niu Jinda.
"Wang Fengmao has been imprisoned according to your orders, and there are soldiers in the army inside and outside the house." Tang Bing led the way in front and showed it to Lao Cheng and Niu Jinda while explaining.
Lao Cheng nodded with satisfaction, and said, "What about the servants and maids in the house?" β
"Back to the marshal, they have all been checked in detail, and they are all people who have been in the government for more than two years, and their identities can be checked!"
"Hmm."
Lao Cheng waved his hand and asked Tang Bing to retreat.
Lao Cheng and Niu Jinda entered the inner courtyard, that is, even the interior of the mansion was guarded by Lao Cheng's trusted personal soldiers, which could be said to be airtight. This kind of defense is already the maximum that Lao Cheng can arrange.
Entering the inner courtyard, the two looked at each other, pushed open the only house and walked in.
"Cheng Guogong, what does this mean?" As soon as he walked into the house, Wang Fengmao asked Cheng Yanjin coldly, and there was no respect in his words at all.
Lao Cheng glared at him angrily, but Niu Jinda beside him said loudly: "Recently, there are thieves lurking in Lanzhou City, you should know about Wang Chengguan, right?" We're doing this for your safety, because when you're in danger, geckos will cut off their tails to protect themselves! β
"I don't understand what you're talking about?" Wang Fengmao's eyes flickered darkly, and his face did not change, "Dignified Lanzhou City Official, why do you need soldiers to take action for safety?" Please also ask the generals to withdraw! Although I am a civil official and a Lanzhou city official, although my position is lowly, but fortunately, I am a saint, and I think that the saint will not let us be wronged. β
Wang Fengmao's words were full of warning.
"What the hell are you?" Lao Cheng couldn't help but scolded angrily, "Where were you when I fought with the saint?" β
"Don't pretend to be an uncle here with me! Believe it or not, I'm going to cut you with a knife! β
Lao Cheng took out his long sword and put it on Wang Fengmao's neck.
"Those thieves in Lanzhou City have been wiped out with all my troops, and some of them are left alive, I'm curious what they will explain?" At this time, Lao Cheng was full of arrogance, and he said, "You are really stable!" β
"Why should the lower officials panic?" Wang Fengmao said calmly and looked at Lao Cheng for a long time.
"If you don't see the coffin, you won't cry."
Wang Fengmao's slightly chubby face was gloomy, his brows were tightly locked, and he said angrily: "Niu Guogong and Cheng Guogong don't have to go to great lengths to get out of my mouth here, and they don't have to bluff me Wang Fengmao, if there is evidence, then take it out, and the next official will admit it." β
"But if there is no evidence, just based on random speculation, it is the Duke of Guo, and the lower officials will report it to Wei Xiang......"
"I think it's the prince of the country, and with Wei Xianggang's upright temperament, he will definitely give an explanation to his subordinates!"
What a fearless one!
Wang Fengmao expected that Lao Cheng and Niu Jinda had no evidence in their hands. It's no wonder that if there is evidence, Lao Cheng is here to take people now, instead of imprisoning this transgendered protection.
For a while, Lao Cheng and Niu Jinda were speechless and touched the dust of their noses.
After staring at Wang Fengmao for a long time, Lao Cheng finally threw out a cold snort. It's really a turtle shell, and it's very hard!
Lao Cheng immediately had nothing to talk about, turned around and walked out of the house.
Only Niu Jinda Fujian pondered in the room, and after a long silence, the old cow said: "That ancient clan has been exposed, you know a lot, for us, you may regard him as a life-saving gold medal, but it is indeed a thorn in the flesh for them...... Even if you don't tell it, won't the DPRK know about their conspiracy? β
"Without our protection, you will die! Your son will die! β
Leaving this sentence, Niu Jinda stopped staying and walked out of the house.
After Niu Jinda left, this time Wang Fengmao's originally fearless expression finally loosened a little, and he stared blankly at the gray roof, stunned.
Niu Jinda's last sentence finally made him have scruples......
Outside the inner courtyard, as soon as Niu Jinda walked out of the inner courtyard, he saw Lao Cheng leaning over nervously.
"How?" Lao Cheng asked.
Niu Jinda nodded, confirming their guess: "Ye boy, what they said is true, he really colluded with the ancient clan!" But his mouth is hard! β
"Do you want to be tortured?" There was a flame in Lao Cheng's eyes.
"No!"
"Hey, hey! What's wrong with you, old cow? Lao Cheng said with some disdain.
"Humph! The old Turkic man is not afraid, why is he afraid of a city official? Niu Jinda continued, "It's just that if we torture and interrogate ourselves privately, we may fall into the hands of the people in the court, and the old man doesn't want to be scolded by a kind of official!" β
What a terrible thing to say! Even heroes like Niu Jinda are also afraid.
"However, Wang Fengmao's house is not invulnerable!" Niu Jinda thought for a moment and said, the most rare thing now is how to make him speak.
In fact, there was not a single living mouth left in the Qimen incident, maybe Wang Fengmao had long known that Lao Cheng would never be able to catch the people of the ancient clan alive, so he was so fearless, and Lao Cheng and they were so passive.
Therefore, if Wang Fengmao's weakness can be found now, then there is hope for him to speak.
"His precious son!" Niu Jinda seemed to be a little uncertain.
"His face finally changed when I said his son!"
Lao Cheng touched his beard, he seemed to have heard that Wang Fengmao had a loser cub and was spoiled to the sky.
"In that case, do you want to take advantage of it?" Niu Jinda asked.
"Then prohibit his son from meeting him, and when the time comes, we will add fuel and vinegar to make up nonsense, and we are not afraid that he will not mess up!" Old Cheng smiled obscenely.
"Hey, wouldn't it be too mean?"
"No, we won't do anything with his precious son, who will make him hard-mouthed? I had to do it as a last resort. β
"Good...... That's it! β
β¦β¦
Barrack.
Ye Huan was about to go with Cheng Chuhei to meet the hard-mouthed Turk, when a Tang soldier suddenly hurriedly came to report.
"Ye Lingjun, someone outside the camp wants to see you!"
Ye Huan was puzzled, Cheng Qian and the others were all here, and they knew so many people when they came here, who could it be?
"Take me to see it!"
The Tang soldier hesitated for a moment and said, "Please also ask Ye Lingjun to be careful, that person seems to be not good!" β
Cheng Chuhei on the side is energetic!
"Oh? I want to see who dares to find my brother's fault. Come on, get your weapons! β
Cheng Zhihei gave the order, and rushed to the camp gate even more excitedly than Ye Huan.
