Chapter Seventy-Four: A Dog Bites a Dog's Mouthful of Hair
Zhao Wengong is not a brainless person, he will never let himself be passive all the time.
At the same time, it can also be seen from the other side that his loyalty to Zeng Yuanqi is beyond doubt, and he explained clearly in a few words what happened to Chen Ziqian and Le Jinghui in the city yesterday.
At first glance, there is nothing to make a fuss about, but after Zhao Wengong's layers of dissecting, the hidden dangers behind this matter are chilling.
A general with 40,000 soldiers and horses in charge, and a young boy who had made a name for himself in the north not long ago, but had been unremarkable when he returned.
The two met in private, or at such a sensitive time, what ulterior secrets are there?
Zhao Wengong said with a serious face: "I have always felt that Chen Xianling is not quite right, and I can't say what is wrong, yesterday I specifically recalled the situation of contact with Chen Xianling, but the more I think about it, the more strange I feel." ”
"What a strange method, Wen Gong will talk about it carefully." Zeng Yuanqi was curious, and he was also serious.
Zhao Wengong said: "Lord, do you think, when Chen Xianling just came back, he said that his fame was all due to others, and the attitude he showed at that time was also quite humble, but the intention was to serve the Lord, just imagine a person who thinks that his talent is limited, why does he have the courage to run and say that he wants to serve the Lord, isn't this inconsistent, inconsistent words and deeds?" ”
"Hehe, Lord Zhao is really insightful, what do you want to explain based on this?" Han Sheng sneered in a strange way, his face full of disdain.
Zeng Yuanqi also felt that Zhao Wengong was making a bit of a fuss when he heard this, Chen Ziqian was in the limelight at the time, even if he was incompetent and incompetent when he returned to his hometown, it was understandable to take the initiative to visit and take refuge, how could he say that it was weird?
Zhao Wengong squinted his eyes slightly and said: "Chen County Ling thinks that he is incompetent and incompetent, but in just over two months to take over Anyi County, the population of Anyi County has surged, and commercial agriculture is also rising at a high speed, during which he has appeased tens of thousands of displaced people, exterminated the bandits that have been plagued for many years, and completely redeveloped the small county that has been abandoned for many years, General Han, do you think these are things that a talented and incompetent teenager can do?" ”
"Lord Zhao, you are too idle, although Chen Xianling is young, he is from the Wuling Chen family, he may not have much ability, but the Wuling Chen family doesn't have it either?"
Han Sheng seized the opportunity to dismantle the stage and said: "Besides, isn't the reason why the population of Anyi County has surged, isn't it because of the influx of tens of thousands of displaced people?" If those displaced people want to eat, can they obediently help with the construction? As for the rapid rise of commercial agriculture, it was because the lord ordered a reduction and exemption of taxes, and the bandit was also caused by the lord allocating 2,000 men and horses to help quell it. Now that you are bringing up the old things again, what is your intention to chase and beat a small county commander who has meritorious service? ”
"You know!" An evil fire sparked in Zhao Wengong's heart and said: "Do tens of thousands of displaced people say that appeasement can be appeased?" The problem of banditry has not been cleared up for several years, is it because he is a young man who says that it can be eradicated? Think about it well, one thing is a coincidence, two things are a coincidence, and three or four things happening at the same time can it still be a coincidence? ”
"So that's why you sneaked into my camp to arrest people?" Han Sheng saw the stitches, and the timing was just right.
Zhao Wengong was unconsciously brought to the rhythm and blurted out: "I am a professional ......"
"What's the duty?" Han Sheng sneered on his face, and said to Zeng Yuanqi and said, "Lord, you heard it just now, and he himself admitted that he didn't wronged him for his humble position. ”
"You!" Zhao Wengong's face turned red, he didn't expect that he would overturn in the gutter and be cheated by a rude puppet like Han Sheng, which was even more uncomfortable than being called by a dog.
Zeng Yuanqi didn't say anything, just stared at Zhao Wengong directly, but all he thought about was things related to Chen Ziqian.
If Zhao Wengong's judgment is correct, this seemingly ordinary young man is too terrifying, so ambitious, the key is that he is still hooking up with Le Jinghui, what do they want to do?
"Lord, this matter was not reported in time, and Wen Gong was also worried that there would be a mistake in judgment, which would cause unnecessary turmoil, so he secretly investigated behind his back, and asked the Lord to forgive Wen Gong for the crime of trespassing." Zhao Wengong was stared at by Zeng Yuanqi so that his scalp was numb, how dare he be lucky in front of this butcher, even if he knelt on the ground and kowtowed, he took the initiative to ask for guilt.
Zeng Yuanqi asked with a straight face: "Since the matter has been done, have you found any problems?" ”
"This ......" Zhao Wengong swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and didn't dare to hide it in the slightest: "Back to the lord, I caught and interrogated those two guards who didn't eat soft and hard, and they committed suicide last night, but this shows one more thing, they must be Chen County's cronies, and Chen County's order did something unseemly, otherwise they wouldn't have asked for death at all." ”
"Ridiculous, people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, in that case, if it is you, don't you want to die quickly? Since ancient times, you have caught thieves and dirty, caught traitors and caught doubles, you don't have any evidence, and you have judged Chen County Commander guilty based on groundless speculation, so reversing black and white and slandering Zhongliang, if this matter spreads, where do you put the lord and the other nine county commanders in my camp to feel, how will the Wuling Chen family and even other families deal with themselves, and how will the world's heroes view my lord? ”
Han Sheng took advantage of the victory to pursue, and said with a face full of righteous indignation: "The dignified military advisor, he keeps saying that he is doing everything for my lord, but in fact, he is doing some things to attack his colleagues and the heart of the cholera army, and he deserves to be punished for such an act!" ”
"Hmph, what a big hat, I am loyal to the lord, this heart can be seen by the sun and the moon, but you General Han, do you think that you are greedy for the merits of others, and no one will know if you cut down the person who gave advice?"
"What about the evidence? Everything is your malicious speculation and framing, and you can't come up with any real evidence, do you think the Lord will still believe you? ”
"I have sent scouts to go back to find out the truth of Anyi, and when they come back, everything will be known by themselves, as for you, a brave and unscrupulous horseman who only knows how to play with a big knife, how can you come up with a plan to surrender Le Jinghui?"
Two people with unclean buttocks confronted each other in the hall, this time it can be said that all the grievances accumulated in the past are spread on the table, and as soon as they open their mouths, they can't wait to put each other to death, and the smell is quite strong.
Zeng Yuanqi is also surprisingly calm this time, of course, mainly because he successfully moved into Pingyong without spending a single soldier this time, he is in a good mood today, and he is too lazy to see these two dogs with bad deeds.
However, the matter is in front of him, and Zhao Wengong's worries are not unreasonable, after all, once this possibility comes true, it will inevitably deal a major blow to them.
But at the same time, what Han Sheng said was right, Chen Ziqian can't move now no matter what, unless there is direct evidence to prove it, otherwise moving Chen Ziqian will inevitably provoke huge internal turmoil, and its impact is probably no less than the slaughter of Anyi back then.
Now is the critical moment for the use of soldiers, and provoking civil strife is simply self-defeating!
"Han Sheng, you go back and stare at Chen County's order first, but if there is something unusual, you don't need to report it and take it down immediately, if the situation is serious, you can also correct the law on the spot!" Zeng Yuanqi had a murderous flash on his face, and at the same time looked at Zhao Wengong and said: "You continue to follow up on the investigation, at this important time, I don't want any accidents to happen." ”
"Lord, General Le's side must not be guarded against, after all, it is 40,000 elites, once the gun is turned, the consequences will be unimaginable." Zhao Wengong was a little uneasy, and advocated: "It's better to find a reason and let General Han go over and replace him, so that nothing goes wrong." ”
"It's to make sure you're foolproof of dissent, right?" Zeng Yuanqi's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and Zhao Wengong, who turned his head to look at him, felt a chill on his back: "Put away your little bit of caution, and then stir up trouble, even if you Zhao Wengong will not be spared!" ”
"Nu, nu, huh!"
