Chapter 713: No Fish, No Shrimp (2)
"This thing is indeed terrifying, don't hide it from the eighth uncle, the little nephew was stunned when he heard it at first glance, tsk, five artillery, or lost on the ground of this Beijing division, if it really falls into the hands of the villain, the consequences are endless, the little nephew doesn't even dare to think about it, alas, if Huang Mafa knows, God knows how many heads will be moved, when I think of this, the little nephew is really shuddering, you say that this case should not be thoroughly investigated to the end?"
The eighth master was already frightened, but Hongqing didn't give up, no, another series of words ruthlessly smashed into the eighth master's heart like a cannonball, when even the cold sweat on the eighth master's face flowed wildly.
"When checked, when checked, hehe, I don't know how the virtuous nephew plans to check? Do you have to transfer some criminal arresters for my uncle to help investigate? ”
The eighth master is not an ordinary person in the end, although he was flustered, he was not completely confused, and after rolling his eyes, he had already proposed a sentence diligently.
"This ......"
Hearing the eighth master's words, Hongqing laughed secretly in his heart, but he didn't bring it to his face, but made a hesitant look and groaned.
"Rest assured, the people transferred for my uncle are all elite people, and they are good at sea fishing, and they may not be able to use it for war, but they are all good at investigating cases."
The reason why the eighth master proposed to transfer personnel from the criminal department was just to take over the right to try the case, and even if it was not good, he had to play some role in the thorough investigation of the case.
"Uncle Eight's words, the little nephew can be trusted, originally, the investigation of the case should be handled by the Criminal Department, who made the little nephew unlucky, but he is just a messenger who reviews military spending, and he actually encountered such a big case, he is really angry, alas, it is difficult to get rid of it."
With Hongqing's shrewdness, how could he not see where the eighth master's careful thinking was, but Hongqing did not say anything, but pretended to play the trick of casting a long line to catch a big fish.
"Hehe, that's, that's, this case is too huge, it's really tricky, whoever comes will have a headache, that is, the virtuous nephew is good, and it should be okay to think about it, but I am afraid that it will affect the serious errand of the virtuous nephew, if so, it is not beautiful."
The eighth master was thinking about how to snatch the right to try the case from Hongqing's hands, and when he heard that Hongqing seemed to have the intention of letting go, he immediately came to his senses, and hurriedly made a faction for Hongqing's sake.
"Who says it's not, no, the time limit given by Huang Ma Fa is only two days left, but ......, alas, headache, headache!"
Hongqing was obviously very relieved by the eighth master, and as soon as he spread his hands, he cried out very cooperatively.
"This is the truth, well, Uncle Wei is now in charge of the Criminal Department, and there is no shortage of manpower under him, otherwise it would be good, the virtuous nephew just went to do serious errands, as for this case, Uncle Wei will help you take it, rest assured, Uncle Wei will do his best to solve this case, and he will never make it difficult for the virtuous nephew to confess."
Hearing this, there was a door, and the eighth master couldn't help but roll through a burst of excitement in his heart, and hurriedly high-fived, and proposed a sentence in a hurry.
"Well, the eighth uncle is so kind, the little nephew is grateful, but there are still a few things that the little nephew can't rest assured."
As soon as the eighth master took the bait like this, Hongqing was happy in his heart, but his face was still sad, he shook his head, and put on a posture of preparing to open conditions with the eighth master.
"Oh? The virtuous nephew still has any difficulties, just speak bluntly, but if the uncle can help, he will not disappoint the virtuous nephew. ”
Hearing Hongqing's words, the eighth master's brows immediately raised, and he generously gave a promise.
"Since the eighth uncle said so, the little nephew is a little disrespectful to hide it again, hey, in fact, it's not too big a deal, the bastard thing was taken care of when the arsenal was entrusted, and now there is a major incident of the loss of artillery, even if this person has nothing to do with this matter, there must be a crime of negligence, and it is no longer appropriate to serve as the palm seal of the arsenal, but this person is the door of the fourteenth uncle, and the little nephew wants to deal with it, but I am afraid that the fourteenth uncle will be surprised, eighth uncle, you see this matter, alas, the little nephew is really embarrassed."
Regardless of how much sincerity the Eighth Master's words have, what Hongqing wants is just a reason, since the Eighth Master said so, Hongqing will not be very polite at all, and without any scruples, he put forward a request to remove the palm seal of the arsenal.
"Well, what the virtuous nephew said is very true, it is indeed not appropriate for the time to be appointed to the position of the palm seal Langzhong, but although his occasional negligence is suspected of being missed, it is not too much, give a punishment, or let him serve in the military department?"
Tuo Shi is the person of the Fourteenth Master, the Eighth Master is not interested in it, there is no side, because the Eighth Master and the Fourteenth Master are now separated from each other, but there is still a relationship between each other, and there has been no public break, when the Tuo Shi is not replaced, for the Eighth Master, it is just an indifferent matter, and it can be exchanged for Hongqing to hand over the right to try the case, the Eighth Master is very happy, of course, in order to take into account the face of the Fourteenth Master, if you should intercede for the Tuo Shi, the Eighth Master will not hesitate to say a few words.
"Eighth uncle, it's not the little nephew who admits death, since he has been in the past, it is no longer appropriate to serve in the military department, according to the little nephew, it is right to let him go to the army to atone for his crimes, what do you think?"
Hongqing is not so easy to speak, if it weren't for the old man's desire for stability, let alone a mere time, it would be the eighth master, Hongqing would dare to pull off the horse, it would be impossible to be moved by the words of the eighth master, and he would sweep the time out of the house in a word.
"Hehe, too, then do it according to the proposal of the virtuous nephew, and there is nothing to say for the uncle."
The eighth master was originally coy, how could he care about the life and death of such a little pawn as Toshi, and when he saw Hongqing being so tough, he immediately seconded the proposal.
"The eighth uncle thinks it's good, well, the arsenal is a place to be strong, the war on the front line is in full swing, and there is no shortage of people, so the time is gone, the little nephew sees that the arsenal member Ning Zhang'a is loyal and talented, and he should take care of the arsenal without worry, what does the eighth uncle think?"
Driving away Tuo Shi was just to make room, Hongqing didn't want to just leave a henchman of the Fourteenth Master, so he turned around and replaced him with the Eighth Master's lineage, and proposed a candidate to take over while the iron was hot.
"This ......, hehe, the virtuous nephew is difficult to be an uncle, and the uncle is only in charge of the criminal department, and he is not very familiar with the affairs of the military department and the official department, so it may be difficult to interfere in this matter."
For the eighth master, it doesn't matter whether he lives or dies, but the arsenal is such an important thing that can never be easily given up, in the face of Hongqing's aggressiveness, the eighth master is not good at refusing directly, so he can only play Tai Chi pusher.
"Hey!"
As soon as the eighth master's words of shirk came out, Hongqing immediately fell silent, and no longer said more, just smiled coldly.
"Don't misunderstand the virtuous nephew, I didn't say I wouldn't help my uncle, although it's difficult, it's not impossible to think about it, or it's okay, the virtuous nephew just cares about the book, and the uncle should sign it later, so it can be done?"
Seeing that Hongqing didn't say anything for a long time, the eighth master couldn't help but feel a little breathless, he didn't dare to risk Hongqing's big trouble, and in desperation, he had to propose a sentence in a consultative tone.
"It's so good, the little nephew happens to have such an excerpt here, how about asking the eighth uncle to start writing?"
As soon as the eighth master's voice fell, Hongqing already shook his hand, took out a yellow silk fold from the wide sleeve, and handed it to the eighth master with a smile.
"This ......, not busy, not busy, for what my uncle promised, I will do it, but I don't know how the virtuous nephew thinks about the theft of the arsenal mentioned earlier?"
The eighth master is also a master who doesn't see rabbits and doesn't scatter eagles, before he failed to get the arsenal theft case into his own hands, he refused to sign for Hongqing's capital protection, thinking that it was difficult to take advantage of Hongqing in terms of words, so he simply gritted his teeth and made the matter clear.
"This case is extremely tricky, it is really beyond the scope of the little nephew, if the eighth uncle is willing to take over, the little nephew is grateful, but it is a matter of the safety of the imperial court, and it must not be ignored, if the five lost artillery cannons cannot be recovered, I am afraid that the emperor Marfa will be angry, and it will be unfavorable to the eighth uncle."
Hongqing didn't want to destroy the eighth master at all, and he didn't want to make extraneous branches in his heart, but he was tired of the old thirteen being busy for so many days, and he had to give some benefits after all, of course, it was not advisable to help the old thirteen take the military department, and the old man would never agree, but if he just took down the arsenal, it didn't matter, the so-called "no fish, shrimp is good", that's such a reason, as for the theft of the arsenal, Hongqing doesn't plan to investigate it deeply, the eighth master wants to take over, Hongqing has no objections, But he never wanted to be passed by the eighth master like this, so he talked a lot with a solemn expression, seemingly worrying about the eighth master, but in fact, he opened a specific exchange condition, that is, it doesn't matter how the case is tried, the stolen five guns must be recovered.
"Rest assured, don't worry, go all out for your uncle, and you won't lose anything."
The artillery in hand has to be handed over, which is really a pain in the heart and lungs - not to mention the huge role that these cannons can play in the future, just saying that the huge price paid in order to get these artillery pieces is enough to make the eighth master feel distressed, but the current situation is pressing, and the eighth master really doesn't dare to carry it indiscriminately, so he can only give a guarantee in a vague way, thinking that after stabilizing Hongqing first, he will make another plan.
"The words of the eighth uncle, the little nephew has always been trustworthy, no matter what, the so-called one thing does not bother the two masters, and the little nephew still has a share here, so please ask the eighth uncle to sign it together."
Hongqing didn't embarrass the eighth master anymore, and after a little groaning, he shook his hand again, took out a fold from the wide sleeve again, held it with both hands, and handed it to the eighth master.
Bitter smile, or bitter smile, after reading the two folds in his hand, the eighth master except for the bitter smile, I don't know what to say, there is no side, the taste of lifting a stone to hit his own foot is too bitter, even if the eighth master is also a person with super psychological endurance, I still can't help but feel a strong sour emotion in my heart......
