Wang Zhiren said while looking at Wu Zheng reproachfully, the meaning in his eyes was naturally to accuse Wu Zheng, after all, the two sides were ready to sign a contract, and no matter how much hatred there was, it would not embarrass each other on the scene, right?

After fighting, the face has to be passable, and the two countries are at war, and they still don't kill them.

But Wu Zheng just sat like this, and even turned his face away, as if he didn't hear or see.

This kind of unceremonious made the Qing court officials resentful, and it is explained here that none of the dozen or so Qing court officials who came were Tartars, but all of them were Han Chinese.

Wu Zheng's ignorance of etiquette made the audience and the people in the city happy, they wanted to see Hong Chengchou eat deflated so much.

But Hong Chengchou's face remained unchanged, and after listening to Wang Zhiren's introduction, he confessed to Wang Zhiren.

Then he took two steps around, walked in front of Wu Zheng, and said solemnly: "Lin'an Bo governs the army, like an arm and a finger, Hong admires." Seeing you today, Sansheng is lucky. ”

Wu Zheng couldn't avoid it at this time, so he had to get up and arch his hand: "I have long heard that Mr. Heng Jiu looks upright, but today I saw that it was unexpected. Wu Zheng originally thought that he could meet with Mr. Hengjiu in the three battles of Suzhou, Changzhou, and Yingtianfu, and he didn't want to be tricked by heaven's will, so he didn't give Wu Zheng this opportunity, but fortunately, I finally saw it today, and it was not in vain that I treated each other hard. ”

Even a fool can hear the sarcasm and unkindness in Wu Zheng's words, but Hong Chengchou was stunned and pretended not to understand, not only that, but he also stepped forward with laughter, reached out and grabbed Wu Zheng's hand, and laughed pretending to be affectionate: "In this way, today Hong is close to Lin Anboduo and solves the pain of lovesickness." ”

This kind of closeness gave Wu Zheng goosebumps, to be honest, Wu Zheng didn't want to mess with today's signing ceremony, after all, he nodded.

But the hatred of Hong Chengchou in his heart made Wu Zheng show it inappropriately.

Wu Zheng shook off Hong Chengchou's hand and took a step back, with a look of disgust.

People, when they reach a certain status, there will be people who rush to please them, just like Hong Chengchou, there will be countless people around him who suffer from not having the opportunity to flatter.

This is good, just when Hong Chengchou was stunned, an accompanying official beside him shouted: "Presumptuous, dare to be rude to me as a scholar?!" ”

If Hong Chengchou said this on the spot, Wu Zheng really had no way to fight back, at most, he would say a few words to each other, and in the end, he would still do what he should do, after all, personal honor and disgrace must be compromised in the face of interests.

But being drunk like this by this Qing court official who seemed to be a Han Chinese, Wu Zheng found an opportunity to play on the topic.

Wu Zheng smiled, and smiled very kindly.

While laughing, he turned his head to Wang Zhiren and said, "Xingguo Gong forgive me, Wu Zheng is rude." ”

Then he shouted coldly: "Come on, take this fang." ”

Just kidding, in today's Yingtian Mansion, except for the benevolence of the prince of Xingguo, there is really no one who can stop Wu Zheng.

Even if the 100,000 Qing army is attacking the city now, as long as Wu Zheng is willing, he can kill the people he wants to kill before the Qing army enters the city.

As soon as Wu Zheng's words fell, the Ming soldiers rushed up and rushed towards the unlucky official.

But after all, Hong Chengchou came with the Qing army, and the accompanying Qing army drew their swords out of their sheaths when they saw this, and confronted the Ming army.

The scene instantly became uncontrollable.

Wang Zhiren's face turned green, and he hurriedly stepped forward to persuade: "Lin'an Bo is angry, today is not the day to do it after all." ”

Hong Chengchou's face also changed greatly, he never thought that the dignified Lin Anbo would make such an unobtrusive move.

The two countries are at war, and they have not yet been killed. What's more, just a reprimand?

Hong Chengchou hurriedly said: "Lin Anbo is angry, the people under the command of this official have lost their words, and the official asks Lin Anbo for a favor on his behalf." ”

Wu Zhengshi Shiran said: "Mr. Hengjiu is a guest from afar, and Wu Zhengxi is the landlord, so this face must be returned." ”

These words relieved the tension in the venue.

Hong Chengchou also breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he was reasonable.

I didn't want Wu to argue, so I changed around and said: "The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime is unforgivable. ”

At this time, even Hong Chengchou was angry, and he said in a deep voice: "Lin Anbo, after all, he is an official of the Qing Dynasty, even if he wants to deal with it, I'm afraid it won't be the turn of the Ming Dynasty's officials, right?" ”

Wu Zheng smiled instead, "What Mr. Heng Jiu said is reasonable, the officials of the Ming Dynasty naturally can't control the officials of the Qing Dynasty, but Mr. Heng Jiu should know that this fang is obviously a Han Chinese, but he is an official of the Qing Dynasty, helping the Tartars to harm his compatriots. ”

Even a fool can hear this, Wu Zheng is pointing at Sang and scolding Huai.

When the audience heard it, they all shouted "Okay!" ”

Hong Chengchou was humiliated by Wu Zheng one after another, no matter how good his temper was, he couldn't hold it back, he said with a hideous face: "Wu Zheng, are you going to stir up Huang to sign a contract today and fight a decisive battle with the Qing Dynasty?" ”

Lo and behold, that's the threat.

Fortunately, Wu Zheng is not stingy and does not know how to be afraid.

"Mr. Heng Jiu is wrong, I just teach this fang ancestor a lesson for future generations, what is the reason for signing today's truce?" Wu Zheng said calmly, "But then again, if you want to stop the war, it's not that Wu Zheng is begging for you, this is the common wish of both sides, if Mr. Heng Jiu wants to continue fighting, Wu Zheng will never stop him, Mr. Heng Jiu can take people back, explain the situation to the Qing court, and continue the war." Although Wu Zheng did not have many soldiers, as long as I gave an order, these people would still dare to die. ”

Speaking of this, Wu Zheng turned to the soldiers on duty in the Ming army and asked loudly: "If you go to war again, do you dare to fight?" ”

The soldiers of the Ming army roared in unison, "Dare to fight!" Fight to the death! ”

Even the people who watched the lively melon-eating crowd joined in the excitement,

"Hit! Fight across the Yangtze River. ”

"Kill all the prisoners!"

"Restore my Daming!"

…… The scene got out of control for a while.

Looking at Hong Chengchou, whose face was blue and pale, Wu Zheng smiled and said: "Wu Zheng is just from a Zhuang family, and he has climbed to his current status in a year, which can be regarded as the help of his ancestors." If it is easy, you will not cherish it, so I want to gamble that you, Mr. Hengjiu, will not be able to influence the policies of the Qing court. But do you dare to bet on me? ”

Hong Chengchou was stunned.

No matter how high his status is, he is just a courtier, how can he be as arrogant as Wu Zheng?

But in fact, Wu Zheng is right, now in this Ying Tianfu, Wu Zheng can almost make a decision.

Even if Wang Zhiren is hindered on the side, the question is will Wang Zhiren refute Wu Zheng's face because of this matter?

Obviously not, because this has nothing to do with Wang Zhiren's interests, on the contrary, the eight million taels that Wu Zheng promised him to form a new army and the position of the three dukes are enough to make Wang Zhiren firmly stand on Wu Zheng's side.

But Hong Chengchou couldn't do it, he knew that the Qing court was no longer able to transfer it, that is to say, the 40,000 or 50,000 Qing troops in Jiangbei were already the limit of what the Qing court could muster in a short period of time.

Dare to cross the river to fight a decisive battle with the Ming army?
