The pen of the literati is like a knife, and the mouth of the literati is like a sword.

They can kill!

Many people didn't believe this before, but now they see it.

Chen Mo only used a few words to defeat the invincible Xia Fangzheng and put him in an extremely embarrassing situation.

Especially the last sentence Chen Mo asked, it is not only about killing people, but also about punishing the heart.

Under the anger and corruption, Xia Fangzheng no longer had the slightest restraint, and when he opened his mouth, he scolded sharply.

"Vulgar savages, they dare to make a big deal of nonsense here, and they are telling the truth, and this official will correct you on the spot now."

Fa-rectification on the spot?

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped.

If you don't agree with a few words, you're going to kill someone?

Of course, except for Xiahou Zhen and Huameishu.

The former, in power, he doesn't speak, and no one dares to mess around.

And the latter, because he believes in Chen Mo, he dares to argue with Xia Fangzheng like this, which shows that there is confidence in his heart.

"Chen, do you have anything to say?"

In the end, it was Xiahou Zhen who opened his mouth.

Looking at Chen Mo's gaze, there was something special.

Chen Mo was slightly stunned, nodded as if he had understood, and then opened his mouth to push Xia Fangzheng back.

"Lord Xia, you are in a high position, killing me is like crushing an ant."

"But as the old saying goes, ants are still greedy for life, so I want to live, live well. Taking a step back, even if your mind has already been decided, you have to give me a suitable reason to correct the Fa later, otherwise how can you convince the public? ”

"You first delayed the delivery of supplies, and just deliberately provoked the relationship between the important ministers of the court, which can be regarded as a capital crime." Xia Fangzheng said through gritted teeth.

"These two points that the adults said are exactly what I wondered." Chen Mo frowned.

"You ......"

"Lord Xia, don't be impatient." Xia Fangzheng just wanted to be angry, but was interrupted by Xiahou Zhen, "Sect Chen, General Ben wants to hear it, what doubts do you have?" ”

"General Hui, what I wonder is, why didn't Lord Hou or Lord Xia ask us why we missed the date?"

"They don't ask, General Ben asks." Xiahou shook up and paced, "General Ben knows everything about the transportation of materials in Baihe County. It stands to reason that there is plenty of time given, so why are you so late? ”

"My lord, there are three reasons." Chen Mo told the truth.

First, no one in Baihe County was willing to come to deliver supplies, and even if they were requisitioned for a fee, people avoided them.

"Why?" Xiahou Zhen was puzzled.

"Meishu, you come along."

Regarding the situation in Baihe County, Chen Mo is far less familiar than Huameishu.

"My lord, it was okay before, the military and civilians have a deep love for fish and water, and as long as people in business do not lose money, they are willing to make a contribution to their family and country. Even many farmers are willing to provide vehicles, cattle and horses, just a few meals of grain and grass. ”

"In recent years, however, things have changed in the unknown, and the businessmen have stopped carrying supplies, and the farmers say that even if they sell their livestock, they will be able to suffer from running around and being whipped. Even if they are forcibly requisitioned, most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled. ”

After saying it in one breath, Huameishu bowed and saluted.

"General, let's be honest, the convoy transporting supplies this time was the result of my father and I who worked hard with Chen Jiaoyu."

"Thank you for your hard work, General Ben on behalf of all the sergeants in the fortress."

Xiahou Zhen finished speaking with a slight emotion, and the words changed suddenly.

"Miss Hua, do you know the reason why people are reluctant to come to the fortress?"

"Yes." Hua Meishu nodded.

"Say it quickly." Xiahou Zhen urged.

"The people's daughter can say, but if she says something wrong, I hope the general will forgive me."

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

Well.

Nodding deeply, Hua Meishu glanced at Xia Fangzheng intentionally or unintentionally.

"General, the reason why people are reluctant to come to the fortress is because they can't get money for seven or eight times when they deliver supplies ten times. Not only that, but many people run down with livestock, and if they don't die, they will shed their skin, which is why they ......"

At this point, Huameishu stopped.

Because there is no need to say anything about the latter words.

Xiahou Zhen's eyes flickered coldly, and an invisible but substantial murderous aura was coming out of his body.

Is this trying to kill someone?

Chen Mo's heart jumped, it turned out that he had seen it before, Xiahou Zhen was not a soft and sleek person, and he also had a reverse bone.

Obviously, what Huameishu said stung this bone.

Now Chen Mo wants to see if Xiahou Zhen will have an attack.

If it is an attack, it means that the person's heart still needs to be polished, and it will not be too difficult to deal with it.

On the contrary, it means that Xiahou Zhen has already cultivated to his home, and if he still has to deal with him in the future, he must be cautious.

Unfortunately, Chen Mo had bad luck this time.

The murderous aura that penetrated the body was fleeting, and Xiahou Zhen's tense face became relaxed.

At the end, he smiled.

"Miss Hua, please take a seat. Speaking of which, I blame the general for being incompetent, and I still don't know that the situation has become so bad. You just said something very good, the military and civilians fish and water conditions, but after the pond is bigger, it is inevitable that there will be a few Wang Ba, what we have to do is not only to salvage it, but also to stew it, isn't it Lord Xia? ”

Yes?

Xia Fangzheng was just speechless and frightened by Chen Moyi, and he still hasn't come back to his senses.

Because if Xiahou Zhen investigates, then he will have no good fruit to eat.

On one side is the top boss, and on the other side is the current saint, neither of which he can offend.

So when Xiahou Zhen called him, he woke up from his trance, and after a little understanding, he couldn't wait to eat Xiahou Zhen alive.

What do you mean?

At this juncture, let yourself come out as a bad guy and severely punish those moths in the army?

In the end, you have a grudge against others, you Xiahou Zhenbai have a good reputation, how can you play so much by borrowing a knife to kill people?

But the handle was pinched in his hand, and he had to bow his head, so he could only stand up.

"General, for those of us who are officials, the people are the parents of food and clothing, and this matter must be strictly investigated and punished. If the general can trust his own officer, leave it to me to deal with, and sweep away this unhealthy trend no matter what. ”

"In that case, then there is Lord Rausha."

Xiahou Zhen nodded with satisfaction and continued to ask Chen Mo.

"Chen Jiaoyu, you just said that there are three reasons for delaying the trip, what are the other two?"

"The other two points, one is public and the other is private."

This time, Chen Mo did not hesitate and directly handed over the real bottom.

"What is a public?" Xiahou Zhen asked.

"Dozens of slaughtered cattle and sheep." Chen Mo pretended to be moved and said, "Although I am a teacher, I also know the righteousness and hardship of Congrong, and it is rare to be able to come to the border fortress, so I want to comfort the soldiers who went to the border." ”

So along the way, we were also buying cattle and sheep, and in order to show the sincerity of our hearts, they were slaughtered, peeled and cleaned on the spot. The general could send someone to check that the beef and mutton were all sealed in the wagon. ”

“……”

Silent.

When Chen Mo finished speaking, the chamber fell silent again.

The gazes that everyone looked at Chen Mo had changed significantly at this moment.

There is gratitude, there is admiration.

Only Xia Fangzheng is hateful.

He hadn't seen the beef and mutton, and he hadn't even approached the carriage, but he believed that Chen Mo wouldn't lie.

Don't dare to lie either.

In other words, the problem lies with Hou Yong.

What is not enough to achieve and what is more than to lose, must not be spared later.

This silence was still broken by Xiahou Zhen.

Out of sincerity or acting on the spot, in short, he personally handed the local specialty milk tea to Chen Mo.

"Chen Jiaoyu, if everyone in the world has such a mind as you, why should I worry about the lack of military prosperity and the lack of harmonious relations between the military and the people?"

"On behalf of all the sergeants stationed in the fortress, General Ben sincerely wishes to thank you."

"The general is serious." Chen Mo took the tea and sighed sincerely, "In fact, there is never a quiet time in this world, but there are countless people like generals who are carrying the weight for us." It's us, and we should say thank you. ”

After the words fell, Chen Mo walked to the door with a teacup and threw it directly into the sky.

"To all of you!"

"There is no time to be quiet, because someone is carrying the weight for us."

Looking at Chen Mo's back, Xiahou Zhen murmured softly.

Gradually, some tears appeared in his eyes.

The guards in the room felt the blood surging all over their bodies.

Chen Mo's words smashed into their hearts.
