Chapter 203: Attacking the Shield with His Spear (4)
"The last general doesn't dare to say that there is no money in his pocket, but when it comes to still owing, there must be a difference between more and less, and others will not dare to say anything, however, as long as the Cao family and the Ba Junmen who have the most deficits can pay off the deficit, the last general will not dare to fall behind!"
Nearly half of the generals present were from the garrisons of the Beijing Division, and they were not sure whether Hongqing really had their own black materials, but Taijigu, the governor of Sichuan, had no such concerns, since he thought that Ren was far away in the southwest, and the emperor was far away, he was not afraid of Hongqing's threat at all, of course, he did not dare to shout that he had no money, but turned the spearhead to the two big debtors, and it was clear that he wanted to take Hongqing's army.
"Yes, there is always a urgency in things, those big debtors don't chase after me, they always chase me and wait for such a small amount of money, that's too much to say, right?"
"Taida is right, this matter should be started from the big one, as long as the Cao family and the Ba Junmen have paid off the deficit, how dare I delay it any longer."
"That's right, that's it!"
……
Although the generals were all flustered by Ge Taihe's fate before, when Taijigu came out, the generals suddenly came to their senses again, and they didn't wait for Hongqing to speak, and they made a fuss again, which showed that this move was also one of the coping strategies set by the Eight Masters and his gang.
Okay, you old man, do you really dare to say, hey, I'm waiting for you!
Hongqing had already guessed the motive for Tai Jigu to jump out, and when he heard that this was exactly what he said, he couldn't help but sneer secretly in his heart, but his face was calm, and he listened to the commotion of the generals very patiently, until the noise gradually subsided, and then smiled slightly: "Is what the Governor of Taiwan said true?" ”
"Be willing to be a military order!"
The Cao family and Ba Xi, the henchmen of the two old men, are the targets of the ten masters, and the prevention is that Hongqing plays the trick of using people to play conspiracy, the reason why Tai Jigu jumped out to propose, in fact, is also a last resort, in order to plug the gap that Ge Taihe was taken, in his mind, the Cao family and Ba Xi both owe a huge deficit, no matter how toss there is no possibility of paying it off, but at this time seeing Hongqing smiling so confidently, his heart can't help but feel empty, but what has been said has been said, if you want to retract at this time, There is no possibility, so I can only grit my teeth and go down.
"Well, Admiral Tai can still trust Ben Baylor, do you all think so?"
Hongqing did not directly comment on Tai Jigu's statement, but looked around at the generals who were waiting to see a good show, and asked with a smile.
“……”
There are not many generals present who have seen Hongqing himself, but none of them have heard of Hongqing's deeds, and when they saw Hongqing smiling so innocently, they couldn't help but beat drums in their hearts, and for a while, no one dared to be the first to jump out and express their position.
"Why, don't you generals even have such courage?"
The generals didn't speak, but Hongqing was not annoyed, the corners of his mouth were raised, revealing a sneering smile, and he stabbed everyone without any scruples.
"I'm afraid of a fool, the biggest is death, and the last general will gamble!"
"Yes, bet, Ba Junmen and the Cao family are both tender and pay off, why can't I wait!"
"Bet on it, who is afraid of whom!"
……
All the generals are fighting men, many people have their lives hanging on their hands, and there is no shortage of blood and bravery, how can they be stable when they are so excited by Hongqing, they all screamed, and the scene suddenly became a mess.
"Okay, since the princes are willing to see Ben Baylor, then Ben Baylor is disrespectful, come here, make a contract, and ask the generals to sign it!"
This saw that it successfully provoked the anger of the generals, Hongqing was secretly refreshed in his heart, and he didn't talk much nonsense, and with a wave of his hand, he asked the palace clerks who were waving their pens on the side to quickly draft the contract, and after looking at it, they immediately let all the red-eyed generals sign it.
"Fourth uncle, why didn't you see Master Cao, didn't you notice it?"
All the generals had signed the gambling contract, but Hongqing did not urge Ba Xi present, but turned back, looked at the fourth master with a puzzled face, and asked suspiciously.
The fourth master had been accompanying the third master before, and he had never left the third master's office, and he really didn't know about Cao Yin's non-attendance, and when he heard Hongqing's question at this time, he couldn't answer, so he had no choice but to look sideways at Fan Shijie who was standing aside, although he didn't ask a question, but his eyes were full of inquiry.
"Back to the little prince's words, Lord Cao originally came, but as soon as he arrived, he was summoned by His Majesty, saying that the Cao family's debt was dealt with in a separate case."
Seeing that the fourth master came over, Fan Shijie didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly flashed out from the side and replied respectfully.
"Oh, I see, everyone, since Huang Mafa has a will, we should obey it, and the Cao family's affairs will not be counted in this case, I think you should not oppose it?"
Cao Yin's incident was originally written by Hongqing, how could he not know the reason, and the reason why he wanted to ask questions was just to carry out the old man's banner and wave it.
“……”
As soon as they heard that Cao Yin was called by the old man, the generals were immediately dumbfounded, but even if they gave them a few more guts, how could they dare to say that the old man was not, just to let them admit it like this, obviously not very willing, not for anything else, just because the amount of money lost by the Cao family was the first of everyone present, even if the Cao family had a lot of property, but there was no possibility of paying off the deficit, it was clearly a good target for attack, and it was gone for no reason, so how could the generals not be annoyed by it, but on such occasions, It's not good to worry more about Hongqing, so you can only be silent.
"Since the princes have no opinion, then Ben Baylor should be considered to be agreed by the princes, then please change the contract again, come on, change the contract, please ask the generals to sign again."
Hongqing is thick-skinned, how can he care about the cold faces of the generals, and he doesn't care what the silence of the generals is, so he gave the order on his own.
What to do? Even if the generals want to oppose it, they can't find a good reason, and they are afraid that their buttocks are not clean, lest there be a handle in Hongqing's hands, if it is really noisy, in case it falls into the general fate of Ge Taihe, then the fun will be great, besides, the generals do not believe that Ba Xi can pay off the personal deficit and the deficit on the ground of the two rivers, and it seems that it is not a big deal to lose one Cao Yin, because of this, although he is full of unwillingness, he should be signed, The generals still signed it again.
"Ba Junmen, they don't believe that you can pay off the deficit, but Ben Belle believes it, but Ben Belle doesn't say it, this matter has to be said by Ba Junmen himself."
Hongqing didn't care what the generals were thinking, and as soon as everyone signed the charge, his eyes fell on Ba Xi, who had been sitting silently at the head of the generals, arched his hand, and proposed with a smile.
"It's only right to pay back debts!"
Although the Baxi people are old, their temperament is still very spicy, and there is no ambiguity at all, and they simply give an answer.
"Ah......h
"Hiss......"
"Doom ......"
……
The generals are all well-informed, and they know how many accounts are hung in Baxi's name, and they thought that Baxi should try his best to shirk it at this time, but they never expected that Baxi really planned to repay the money, and they were all dumbfounded, and the sounds of surprise rang out one after another.
"Ba Junmen, aren't you joking?"
Although Ah Shan, the governor of Huguang, had been silent before, and had not made a fuss with the generals, but he didn't want to pay back the deficit in his heart.
"Ah Junmen looks like he is joking? Hmph, as important ministers of the imperial court, we should no longer embezzle the treasury silver, and if we don't repay the debt, wouldn't it be no different from a ruffian hooligan? ”
Ba Xi is the oldest of all the generals present, and it is also the one with the highest status, don't look at the same governor, Ba Xi's holy family is not much higher than Ah Shan, so he doesn't need to show Ah Shan any affection, snorted coldly, and unceremoniously taught Ah Shan a lesson.
"That's, hehe, that's."
Ah Shan is the governor who has just been promoted for a short time, belongs to the junior generation of the eight governors, and served under Ba Xi in his early years, and was taught a lesson by Ba Xi in public at this time, although he was unhappy in his heart, but how dare he talk back, so he can only be embarrassed to accompany the smile.
"It's impossible, the last general won't believe it!"
Taijigu, the governor of Sichuan, was the first to wake up from the shock, and regardless of his humility, he jumped up and shouted.
"Yes, the last general doesn't believe it either, if the Pakistani military gate really has the ability to repay the money, why should he be mentioned to the household department to come to the court, this must be a lie!"
"Ba Junmen, you are the pillar of the imperial court, the last general has always admired it very much, but if you want to say that you can always pay off the deficit, the last general does not dare to agree, but there is a deficit of 2.18 million silver on the ground of the two rivers, you always have three heads and six arms, I am afraid that it will be difficult to do it?"
"That's it, who are you coaxing with lies, could it be that the Ba Junmen is colluding with Hongqing Shizi, and I can't wait for a single-minded pit?"
……
The generals didn't believe that Ba Xi could pay off the deficit at all, and they were shouted by Tai Jigu like this, and they all came back to their senses, some scolded their mothers, some said strange things, and some directly accused Ba Xi of lying to their faces.
"Hmph, living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain is ridiculous and contemptible!"
Ba Xi has never had the intention of not paying off his debts, but he really can't afford to pay them back, but with Hongqing's guidance, he has a seventy or eighty percent grasp of paying off the deficit, and he has a lot of confidence in his heart.
