Chapter 122: Loyalty and treachery are hard to distinguish

The hammer took the bronze sword in his hand and escorted the ghostly man outside the door in.

A cadre in the palace waited under the greeting of the old servant, and in a blink of an eye, the man was tied up strongly.

"Why do you bind me?" The man struggled and shouted, "Is there any more royal law?" ”

Chen Zheng sat in the middle of the living room, looking at the ugly middle-aged man in front of him, the hammer came to Chen Zheng, and the two muttered for a while.

"Hahahaha!" Chen Zheng suddenly laughed: "I'm near the water, and I got the moon first?" Or is it like a hook to go to the west building alone? How do you have such a relationship with the surname Lou? Tell me, which Lou sent you? What kind of heart do you have? ”

"What Lou Lord? I don't even recognize it. I just passed in front of this gate, how did you tie me here? Acquaintances let me out immediately, otherwise..."

Chen Zheng chuckled: "Otherwise, what else do you want?" ”

The hammer went up and slapped him a few times, and he yelled, "Do you know what my master does?" In this Handan City, even King Zhao and Pingyuan Jun were polite when they talked to my master, have you heard of Fan Cheng of the Qin State..."

Chen Zheng waved his hand: "Okay, okay, you can't keep a low profile!" Then he looked around at the crowd and said: "I can tell you, out of my house, you must learn to be a man with your tail between your legs, and don't talk outside and shout five or six, if anyone leaks the secrets of my house with a mouth full of wind, I will not spare it!" ”

The people present were all Nono Liansheng.

"Huh?" Chen Zheng looked at the old servant, as if he was puzzled by something: "I heard that all the people in Lord Louchang's mansion are good-looking, smart and clever, why did you send this person here today?" Isn't it true that all the people under Lord Lou Chang are dead? ”

The old servant was stunned for a moment, as if he had discovered something from Chen Zheng's strange eyes, and then smiled and said: "I think this person is extremely ugly and simple, even if it is not the people in Lord Louchang's mansion who are dead, then Lord Louchang is blind." ”

Chen Zhengyi waved his hand: "Don't be unreasonable!" Just now, I was still talking happily with Lord Lou Chang in the Plains Monarch's Mansion, why am I blind? Oh yes, Lord Lou Chang also told me that there are many fish and dragons in Handan City right now, and it is better to teach me to be more careful on weekdays. Tell me, Lord Lou Chang thinks about me so much, how can he have any plans for me? Could it be that Lord Lou Chang is peaceful on the surface, but he is harboring evil intentions in his stomach? ”

The old servant waved his hand one after another and said: "No, no, the Lord of this building is not the Lord of the other building, now King Zhao is so important to Lord Lou Chang, Lord Lou Chang will never be the kind of person who eats inside and outside, and has three knives on both sides." Besides, since the master met with Pingyuanjun and Lord Lou Chang, how could Lord Lou send someone here? ”

Chen Zheng frowned and muttered, "Yes! In this way, let's not fall for the tricks of others, so as not to blame Lord Lou Chang by mistake. ”

"The master has a point."

The man who was tied into a dumpling listened to Chen Zheng and the old servant, with a blank and innocent expression.

With a "snap", Chen Zheng slapped the table in front of him and said sharply at the hammer: "I expected that this person must be a spy sent by Lou Xuan, why don't you pull this guy out and cut it down?!" ”

Hammer said: "I haven't killed anyone for a few days, this thing is a whole drop, and I will send one to the door." ”

The old servant hurriedly dissuaded: "Master, there are enough dead people in our house, and we can't kill people anymore." ”

"Get out of the way!" Chen Zheng pointed at the old servant: "Can you say no to the murder of people in the house?" In this way, this guy will not be able to get out alive. Hammer, don't do it yet?! ”

The old servant stood in front of the man: "The master has been in Handan for a short time, and he has shot dozens of people in this mansion, but their bones are not cold!" Old Man Lu taught me to watch the master, and the master must not kill innocents indiscriminately. ”

Chen Zheng stood up angrily: "You, you, you rely on the old man to protect you, every time I want to kill someone, you are chirping here, do you want to save their lives to kill me?!" How did I tell you, kill those you don't understand, if it weren't for that, would I have survived to this day?! ”

The old servant stiffened his neck: "I said that I can't kill, I can't kill!" ”

"Oops? It's against you! Chen Zheng stretched out his hand and pointed at the old servant: "I'm not afraid to tell you today, master, I have already seen that you are not pleasing to the eye, do you think that I am afraid of you with the support of the old man?" Joke! In this world now, which one of the windfalls is not full of evil..., oh no, which one is not evil..., and it's not right, which one is not evil..., his grandmother's, anyway, is rich and dangerous, non-toxic and not a husband! If you dare to take the old man out and press me again, I will cut you down today and stay there! ”

The old servant blushed and shouted, "You dare?!" When I followed the old man, I didn't know where you were! I'll tell you the truth, the old man wanted to expel you from the house a long time ago, just a person like you who kills people like hemp and spends money like dirt, the old Lu family doesn't know what kind of sin you have created, and gave birth to such a loser as you? ! ”

Chen Zheng and the old servant were at odds in an instant, and the zongzi stood there with wide eyes, what is the situation?

"You forced me, you can't complain about me." Chen Zheng pointed to the old servant and ordered the hammer: "Pull me out and cut it down!" ”

"......" Hammer stood there and hesitated.

"Oops? My words are not good, are they? If you don't obey, I'll cut you down! ”

The hammer turned his heart sideways, beckoned the others to drag the old servant into the courtyard.

Outside the living room, there were bursts of shouting and scolding from the old servant, and suddenly there were a few screams of "ah, ah, ah", and the whole world fell silent.

Looking at the zongzi tied to the living room, the legs were shaking slightly, and sweat was oozing from the brain.

Hammer ran in from outside with an excited look on his face.

Chen Zheng sneered: "Dare to go against me, this is the end." Then he motioned to the hammer: "What are you still doing?" Pull this guy out and kill it, oh no, cut it! ”

"Gotcha!"

Looking at the zongzi again, the pants are already wet.

The man said in a trembling voice, "You, you don't ask, ask me who sent me?" ”

Chen Zhengyi shook his hand: "Since you plan to keep your mouth shut, I don't bother to unscrew your cork." But every suspicious person shall kill one when he sees him. Do it! ”

The hammer was just about to step forward, but the man hurriedly defended: "I, I, what if I was sent by Lord Louchang?" ”

"You said yes, right? Even like you, you want to frame Lord Lou Chang, and you don't look in the mirror. Pull it out! ”

The hammer pulled and scolded: "If you are not afraid of death, eat a few swords from your grandfather." ”

At the time of the stalemate, Li Mu walked in from outside and said with a relaxed face: "Brother Lu's house is so lively!" Where does this start? ”

"My brother came just in time, I don't know which Lou sent this guy, he was sneaky outside my mansion, and he was very hard-mouthed when he entered here. Where are you buried with all the people who died last time? Later, pull this guy and the old guy outside out of the city, and give them a life and no body. ”

The man cried and begged for mercy, Li Mu walked over when he saw this, and said with a smile: "You don't ask what kind of place this is, killing you is like stepping on an ant." If you speak well, I will ask for a favor for you, maybe Brother Lu will be able to open up and let you go for the sake of my face. Let me ask you, will you speak well? If you say the wrong thing, beware of your life! ”

"Yes, of course! I said, I'll be honest. ”

It turned out that this person was just an ordinary official in Handan City, and he used to walk around Zhao Hao's mansion frequently, just to lean his back on the big tree, hoping to be promoted and make a fortune, but he was fooled into a thief ship by Zhao Hao, who sneaked back to Handan. In Lecheng's arrest operation, this person was desperate, and thought of Lord Lou Chang that Zhao Hao had talked about, so he had the courage to go to run, but he didn't expect Lord Lou Chang to accept without saying a word.

After the rumors outside gradually subsided, Lou Chang sent this person to guard outside Chen Zheng's mansion, and everyone who came in and out in the future had to find out. I didn't expect to be caught on the first day of the mission.

Chen Zheng smiled and said, "I heard you say that you have a nose and eyes." If it's really Lord Lou Chang who sent you, you might as well go back with a word. You also tell that Lord Louchang, the current Zhao State is in danger, and once the Qin army breaks through the city in the future, Handan City will be burned with jade and ruined, and he still spends his mind on how to assist King Zhao. I'll leave it here, if anyone is talking to the Qin State side and secretly communicating news, even I, an outsider, will not sit idly by and watch. Remember?! ”

"Huh?" The man was stunned: "I heard Lord Lou say that Lu Gongzi has a good relationship with the alien son of Qin State, and often travels back and forth between Handan and Xianyang, Lu Gongzi is..."

Chen Zheng's expression was grim: "Can I tell you about it?!" ”

The man nodded and was about to leave, when the old servant flashed in front of everyone.

"Master, will you let him go?"

The man was surprised: "You, you, you're not dead?!" ”

The hammer went up and kicked it: "Why don't you get out of here?!" ”

……

When the man went out, Li Mu was puzzled: "Brother Lu, to deal with such people, you only need to whip a few lashes to be honest, why bother so much?" ”

"Huh!" Chen Zheng smiled: "Fang Cai was just teasing him, who knew that he peed his pants in a blink of an eye, it was really boring." ”

"Why did the eldest brother let this person go?"

"If my brother thinks about it carefully, if he really has any ability, how can he be easily discovered by me and brought into this mansion again?! Such people in this world are nothing more than clinging to the powerful and seeking fame and fortune, and it is expected that he will not be able to set off any waves, so it is better to teach him to go back and spread a word, and make the best use of it. I hope ..., alas! ”

"Why is the eldest brother sighing?"

"It's not a matter of worrying that Lou Chang sent someone to stare at my mansion, I hope Lord Lou Chang won't go astray!"

Li Mu said quietly: "In the current situation between Qin and Zhao, it is normal for some people to waver in their hearts. I'm afraid that it's hard to distinguish between loyalty and treachery, it's hard to distinguish between truth and falsehood, and it's hard to know whether I'm friend or foe, and the sword in front is easy to dodge, and it's hard to defend against the swords and guns behind it. ”

"My brother is right. However, let's not speculate, it's better to wait and see. ”

Li Mu arched his hand and said, "Brother Lu is really kind-hearted!" However, there are two kinds of good people in the world, one is a good person who allows the wicked to be bullied and has no power to fight back, and the other is a good person who also cares about and retreats when the wicked see it. If people retreat and tolerate and tolerate everywhere at all times, it will only encourage the wicked to become more serious and popular. For those who have repeatedly taught and refused, who are obsessed, who are fighting for the tiger, and who are full of evil, good people still need to have a for a tooth, an eye for an eye, and a thunderous strategy. The so-called constant judgment is subject to chaos. If you connive at the reckless behavior of the wicked, it is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire and aiding the abuse, and the gentleman is no different from the wicked? ”

Chen Zheng nodded, lost in thought. After a long time, he sighed and said: "If the sky wants it to die, it must be mad first." Heaven has no relatives, and he is always with good people. Only God knows. ”

……

For the trip to Chu State, Chen Zheng deliberately grew a beard, and his hair was also recoiled.

At the behest of Zhao Dan, Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, prepared more than a dozen carriages, which were loaded with heavy chests, needless to say, the boxes were full of golden cakes used to buy grain. Lecheng selected more than 20 sturdy men from the special forces of Zhao State, dressed up as ordinary people, as a team to escort back and forth.

Before the official departure, Chen Zheng repeatedly warned Zhao Sheng that the fewer people who knew about this trip to buy grain, the better, and that he would naturally meet the opportunity to act when he arrived in Chu State, and if the news reached the ears of Xiong Wan, the king of Chu, and Huang Xie, the king of Chunshen, it was likely to return in vain. Zhao Sheng repeatedly praised this old brother Lu for being thoughtful, and he readily agreed.

In addition, Chen Zheng also made two arrangements, during his trip to Chu, on the one hand, he taught the old servant to quietly buy the house next to the residence of the stranger, no matter how high the price was, after buying the house, he also let the original property owner fly away, so as not to leak the news. On the other hand, Chen Zheng sent someone to find Mao Sui and teach him to pay close attention to Lou Chang and Zheng Zhu's every move. Mao Sui originally wanted to follow Chen Zheng to the Chu State, which could not only distract his heart, but also make meritorious contributions, what a good thing, but Chen Zheng said: When you go to the Chu State in the future, you will keep an eye on those two people, and you have my own reasons.

Jing Hammer was unwilling to take care of the family and the courtyard in the house, and took the initiative to ask Ying to take care of Chen Zheng's diet and daily life all the way, Chen Zheng thought about it, in case it was not appropriate to hand over a letter or errand to Li Mu, then let's go and blow the wind together.

Chen Zheng, Li Mu, and Jing Hammer were packing their own luggage, but they didn't expect that hole piercing to come to the door, and they didn't know where this son Gao Gongzi got the information, so they had to follow Chen Zheng to Chu State. As soon as Chen Zheng saw this "son once said", his brain hurt, and when he refused politely, he turned into a stern refusal, and he also had a set of rhetoric: "Zi once said: "The dangerous gang can't enter, and the chaotic gang can't live." Since I did not worship Mr. Gongsun as a teacher on this trip to Handan, and Zhao Guo is in danger of destroying the country in a few days, it is better to go to Chu with Gongzi Lu to choose another famous teacher, and ask Gongzi for advice along the way. If Gongzi Lu doesn't agree, hehe, I'm afraid that Gongzi's grain purchase plan will be known to everyone and spread to the King of Chu. ”

"The Son once said: Therefore, those who are good are not good teachers, and those who are not good are good people's assets; Don't value his teacher, don't love his qualifications, although he is a big fan of wisdom. Does Childe know the deep meaning? ”

Kong Piercing rubbed his head and thought for a moment: "What the young man said, the son has never said it, right?" ”

"Haha! This passage is from Lao Tzu. ”
