Chapter 38 Cunning and viciousness
Wu House.
Wu Jingzhong slapped Wu Ming's already bruised face, and scolded angrily: "I don't know what is dead or alive, don't you think you haven't caused enough trouble for Lao Tzu over the years!" In addition to causing trouble to Lao Tzu, what else do you have to do? ”
Wu Jingyi stood aside with his hands tied, lowering his head and not daring to look directly at Wu Jingzhong.
After scolding Wu Ming, Wu Jingzhong sprinkled his anger on Wu Jingyi again, and said with a white beard: "Ming'er is still young, and it is forgivable to make such a mistake, but you have been in the army for so many years, and you are a lot older, but you don't even have this knowledge, it is really stupid!" ”
Wu Jingyi knew that he was wrong first, and in front of Wu Jingzhong, he didn't dare to quibble.
Wu Jingyi didn't speak, Wu Jingzhong was angry, and kicked Wu Ming again, scolding: "Privately mobilized two hundred Japanese soldiers, do you know what kind of crime this is?" Do you think that if you don't let them bring weapons, no one will be able to see it? ”
"Even if others don't know, you still don't know what Li Congjing is, why did he know your identity, and he shot so hard, humiliated you in every way after beating you, and obediently waited for you to go back to him to settle accounts afterwards? He's just waiting for you to mobilize an army against him! In the face of you and other 200 people, why did Li Congjing be so aggressive that he didn't know whether he was alive or dead? He's just letting your people do it to him! Then tomorrow everyone will know that you have privately mobilized your army to fight in the city of Weizhou, and you want to kill the important ministers of the state! As long as Li Congjing is injured under the Japanese army, tomorrow he will fold it to His Majesty, how many heads have you grown, is it enough to cut off? ”
This is the reason why Wu Jingzhong, after getting the news from Xingtang Yin, asked the housekeeper to pass the word and asked Wu Ming to dismiss the sergeant and return home quickly.
"Li Congjing is cunning and vicious, he wants the child's life at every turn, and the child must break his body into thousands of pieces in the future!" Wu Ming only gritted his teeth and swallowed in his stomach at this time, "But this time the child only didn't know his identity in advance, and he took the lead, so he fell into the disadvantage and was controlled by others, and next time the child will definitely want him to die without a place to be buried!" ”
"He doesn't just want your life, what he wants is the life of the entire Wu family!" Wu Jingzhong snorted coldly and said: "Li Congjing's son is extremely cunning, even the old man underestimated him before, so in the process of dealing with him several times, he missed again and again. This son has a bad heart, and when it comes to malice, none of you can compare with him! ”
Wu Ming had nothing to say for a while.
Wu Jingyi saw that Wu Jingzhong's anger had decreased slightly, so he asked: "Today's matter, after all, the Japanese army has been transferred out, if Li Congjing takes the opportunity to slander in front of His Majesty, how can we wait?" ”
Wu Jingyi didn't mention this stubble, but when he mentioned Wu Jingzhong, he was angry, and he said angrily: "It's all a good thing you did, and now you have to ask the old man to clean up the mess for you, it's really a rice bucket!" ”
After scolding for a while, the anger subsided, and Wu Jingzhong said: "This matter can only be remedied, Li Congjing's house will definitely talk to Your Majesty Chen on this matter, after you two go down, let me let the people below take care of their mouths and don't talk nonsense!" Although many people have seen this matter, Ming'er is a retired sergeant after all, as long as it is operated properly, Li Congjing will not be able to catch any handle. ”
"In the final analysis, the brawl did not happen, and this crime can be said to be big, and it is not impossible to resolve it. The old man has been in Weizhou for so many years, and it is not for nothing that there are people who can speak in front of His Majesty, and Li Congjing is not so easy to succeed! ”
Wu Jingyi and Wu Ming breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and Wu Ming said: "Father, now that Li Congjing is so intent on dealing with us, we can't sit still, we must find a way to fight back, so that we can take the initiative and be invincible!" ”
"That's natural, the way to deal with Li Congjing is for my father's own opinion, and the plan is already underway." Wu Jingzhong said, last time he was so angry that Li Congjing vomited blood, how could he not want to retaliate? Speaking of this, Wu Jingzhong said to Wu Ming: "You just stay in the house these days, don't go anywhere, lest you make trouble for me again." After staying for two days, the family affairs with the Ren family will be settled, and my Wu family can sit back and relax! ”
"Rest assured, I know what to do." Wu Ming said.
Wu Jingzhong nodded. Wu Jingyi said: "I heard that this time Your Majesty is a matchmaker and chooses a son-in-law for the Ren family, and it is not only my Wu family who chooses?" ”
"Ren Yuan is now highly valued by His Majesty, and His Majesty is also a manifestation of his grace to be a matchmaker for his daughter." Wu Jingzhong said, "But who the other one is, it is not known at present." ”
"Father, don't worry, what is the power of my Wu family in Weizhou, Ren Yuan is still unclear? If he wants to gain a foothold here, he will definitely choose my Wu family. Wu Ming said with confidence, "If Ren Yuan wants to consider his daughter's intentions, the father doesn't have to worry, there are countless children and daughters, and he will definitely be able to deal with the little lady!" ”
"Have you seen Ren Yuan's daughter?"
"I've never seen that."
"Big brother, I don't know something." Wu Jingyi doubted, "According to common sense, there are only two families, one man and one woman, why did Your Majesty make such a big move this time, and let Ren Yuan choose among several families?" Is there any other purpose in this? ”
"It's a decent word!" Wu Jingzhong snorted coldly, "Your Majesty's thoughts, although it is difficult to guess, but it is nothing more than grace and beating. This doesn't matter, as long as I can marry Ren Yuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, my Wu family will not only be a general, but also be involved in civil and political affairs, which is very good. Ming'er, you must win this matter! ”
"Father, rest assured." Wu Ming said.
After Li Congjing, Li Shaobin and others separated, they did not go back to their homes directly, but went to Yipinge. According to the deadline he gave Mo Li, the elite of the military intelligence department he wanted should have arrived by now. Although he can report it to the military intelligence office such as the mansion, it is not his mansion after all, and there are still many inconveniences.
When the organization of the Military Intelligence Department was reported to Li Cunqing, Li Congjing only said that it was the reuse of the scout capital, and did not say too much.
Yiphange is still closed to the public today, the door is closed, the blue brocade cloth is gently swaying in the evening breeze, and Li Congjing stepped forward and knocked on the door. After a while, the door panel was removed, it was still the same little guy last time, Li Congjing walked into the house, this time he didn't stop in the hall, and went directly to the backyard.
"General Qiyu, everyone is here." The little guy followed Li Congjing's side and said.
Li Congjing nodded slightly, and before he arrived in the courtyard, he heard a voice, "Don't deal with the second master all this uselessness, you have been in Weizhou for so long, and you have collected so much news?" I don't even know how many concubines there are in Weizhou! What, what's the use? The second master can tell you, this is very useful, do you know why the battle of Governor Huai started years ago? It's because we know that Duan Zhenlin's bird wants to take a concubine! ”
The voice is very peculiar, slightly hoarse, full of breath and stellar, ordinary people really can't imitate it if they really want to, hearing this voice, Li Congjing knew who was coming.
There is a big elm tree in the small courtyard, and there are many people standing under the tree, and when they saw Li Congjing coming in, they immediately clasped their fists and saluted, "I have seen the military marshal!" ”
There is an oil lamp in the side room in the small courtyard, the lamp is dim, the flame is like an enlarged version of a drop of falling water, and in front of the table under the oil lamp, Zhao Xiangyao and Wei Zheng, the steward of Weizhou, are sitting together. After Zhao Xiangyao's words were finished, Wei Zheng's face was not very good, but Zhao Xiangyao, now as one of the three commanders of the Military Intelligence Department, had the right to reprimand him.
Wei Zheng was about to say something, when he heard Li Congjing coming in, he immediately walked out of the house with Zhao Xiangyao.
"On the orders of the military commander and the dispatch led by Tao Tong, his subordinate Zhao Xiangyao brought fifty soldiers from the Military Intelligence Department to listen to the order." Zhao Xiangyao said to Li Congjing.
Li Congjing nodded slightly, raised his feet and entered the room, "Come in and talk." ”
Li Congjing sat down at the table, and everyone else stood in a row in front of him, waiting to listen to his instructions. Li Congjing got straight to the point and said: "This time I will transfer you to Weizhou, there is only one purpose, I want you to thoroughly investigate all the information of the Wu family for three days." After three days, I want the most detailed information, especially what tools can be used, and not a single one is missing. The time is tight and the task is heavy, so I asked Commander Zhao to bring people over in person. ”
Zhao Xiangyao patted his chest and said: "The military marshal just rest assured, this time the subordinates brought all the elite, and they will definitely live up to the marshal's expectations." ”
"You do things, I don't worry." Li Congjing said with a smile. After a pause, he felt the need to make some additions, and said: "This time, Wu Jingzhong and I have become an endless game, before leaving Weizhou, either I completely defeated him, or I was severely injured by him. One of the two situations will inevitably appear, there is no compromise choice, so the mission you are waiting for can be described as significant, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the future and fate of the Hundred Battles Army are tied to you and other fifty people, understand? ”
Zhao Xiangyao didn't expect the matter to be so serious in advance, and said: "The military commander just rest assured, I guarantee that even whether the maid of the Wu Mansion is stealing with the family will be found out to the general!" ”
"If you don't move, it's just thunder; If you don't make a move, you will take someone's life. This is the principle of the battle between the commander and the man, and I give it to you today. Li Congjing said, his stiff face was even more cold against the dim lights, "Who is close to the Wu family here, and who is close to the Wu family, is also the focus of the investigation, so please remember." As for the other joints, Ben Shuai can't do his best to arrange, and wait for everything to be done according to Commander Zhao's wishes. ”
Wei Zheng and others said yes.
Li Congjing looked at Wei Zheng again and said, "Since the establishment of the Military Intelligence Department, Steward Wei has been stationed in Weizhou, and you are familiar with the situation here, so you must do a good job as a guide." If this happens, you will be greatly credited, but if you do not do enough to cause bad things, you will be to blame! ”
Li Congjing does not directly manage the details of the military intelligence department, but he just heard that Wei Zheng did not even know how many concubines there were in Weizhou, and he was still very dissatisfied.
Wei Zhenghu's body was shocked, and he said solemnly: "My subordinates will do their best!" ”
Everything was decided, and Li Congjing stayed for a short time, got up and left.
After Li Congjing left, Zhao Xiangyao grinned, put his hand on Wei Zheng's shoulder, and said affectionately: "Manager Wei, the second master does have a bad mouth, and what he said is very inappropriate, but you also know that the second master is a rough man, and even the military marshal I call him by his name, and the military marshal doesn't bother to pay attention to it." You have a lot of adults, don't you care about the second master? ”
Wei Zheng knew what Zhao Xiangyao meant, and said helplessly: "You are really my second master, dear!" ”
