Volume 2 The Puppet Son of Heaven Chapter 92 Windfall
With this question, Guo Feng's gaze swept over these people one by one again.
It seems that we want to see through their hearts with such a gaze and grasp the true similarity.
And these people, almost all of them hung their heads in a weak heart, and did not dare to look at them or speak.
"Didn't anyone say that? Then I'll name you. Guo Feng's brows were furrowed, and his face was already angry.
"General, we paid the money again to let them release the people back."
Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Yu Shiting was finally the first to tell the truth.
When he said this, everyone felt a sense of relief, and Guo Feng's face sank: "What the hell is going on?" ”
Now that he has opened his mouth, Yu Shiting did not hide it anymore, and truthfully told the story of the fact that there was one more person in his car after coming down from Yingshou Mountain two days ago, and he told the truth about the conditions he had made.
Of course, he still chose to hide the matter of that letter, after all, the matter has passed, and more things are better than less things.
Guo Feng listened to him with a gloomy face, and then swept to the others: "You are the same, after being coerced, you can only exchange money for people?" ”
"Positive...... Precisely. Everyone nodded in response.
"Confused!" Guo Feng immediately reprimanded, "Do you know that doing this will only boost the arrogance of those bandits? Now not only can't they catch people, but they also get such a big benefit, so what will they think?
"I will feel that my Liangzhou not only has a lot of money, but also is weak and can be bullied. This time you paid for your son, but what about next time? Maybe they've tied someone up again, and you're going to spend any more money?
What is the difference between this approach and playing for the tiger? Also, you have been hiding this from me, have you taken me, Liangzhou, in your eyes? ”
His words naturally made sense, and immediately made everyone feel embarrassed, and they could only bow their heads and admit their mistakes.
Yu Shiting didn't think so, he did cooperate with Guo Feng before, but what was the result? Got nothing, and almost got into it!
In the end, he still had to rely on his own family to take out five hundred taels of gold and bleed heavily in exchange for his son's safety.
Now this guy is still using some righteousness to pressure himself, what a big breath!
Of course, the biggest reason why he dared to disagree like this was that his status in Yu Shiting was not under Guo Feng, so naturally he didn't have to give him face.
But there are still people with a higher status than him, and they can't bear it, and they have already spoken first: "General Guo, you are exaggerating and alarmist, right?" ”
It was Zhizhou Cheng Nantian, whose authority was one level higher than him, who retorted: "It's not that we didn't believe in you, and we cooperated." But the result?
"Your little arrangement has long been seen through by the kidnappers, but they will do it. If you really do what you said, I'm afraid the dog won't come back! ”
Yu Shiting immediately followed at this time: "What Master Cheng said is that we are also eager to save our son, what is wrong?"
"It's General Guo, since you are a left-behind guard, you have the responsibility to ensure the safety of my Liangzhou, and now that something happens, not only can you not help us solve the problem, but instead blame us for saving ourselves, what is the reason?"
"You ......" Guo Feng was refuted by such a robbery, his face became more and more ugly, and he was about to reprimand again, but he was quickly interrupted by Cheng Nantian: "Also, I even have reason to suspect that some of those soldiers and horses have already colluded with the kidnappers, and even ......."
Later, he didn't say it directly, but the meaning was already very clear, that is, he couldn't trust Guo Feng.
"So for the sake of the safety of our children and others, it is the right choice for us to make a compromise. As for the rest, it is naturally up to you, the city guard, to do it. ”
"Also, this matter must not be left like this, although my children and others came back safely, but the kidnappers are still at large, General Guo, it all depends on you."
The two of you and I said a word, and with a tacit understanding, Guo Feng was completely suppressed at once, but let him fall into the disadvantage and be blamed.
In terms of eloquence, how could Guo Feng be the opponent of these two civil officials?
In terms of identity, he is also lower than the two, and without his brother Guo Yan to rely on, no matter how angry he is, he can't get angry.
In the end, he could only glared at everyone angrily, and after a while, he snorted: "I will naturally investigate this matter to the end and give everyone an explanation!" But at the same time, I will report this to the captain when the time comes......"
"Then ask the captain to judge the merits then. I've been on a business for a day and I'm tired, so I won't sit with you for a long time. Leave! ”
Cheng Nantian was the first to get up, and without looking at the change in Guo Feng's expression, he turned around and left.
Yu Shiting naturally did not fall behind, and after saying goodbye, he waved his sleeves away.
With these two adults taking the lead, how can others hesitate?
At that moment, they all got up one by one, and after making a slight gesture to Guo Feng, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot, they each said goodbye and left.
In this way, an accountability broke up unhappily, Guo Feng not only failed to take advantage of this, but let them lose face ruthlessly, and the gains outweighed the losses!
Only then did he realize how difficult it was for his brother to sit in this position.
Don't look at him, the Guo family has been working hard in Liangzhou for decades, but these subordinates really don't completely regard themselves as Guo's subordinates, at most, they just take what they need.
Maybe when they go to Guo Yan, they will show their awe, but for Guo Feng, they are completely equal.
After sitting in a daze for half an hour, Guo Feng recovered from his complicated emotions, and then got up and shouted, "Prepare the horse, I want to go see Guo Chong!" ”
Now that the burden has fallen on him, he has to find clues from the many captured sons.
And judging from the current situation, I am afraid that it will be inconvenient to find those people again. Fortunately, there is another Guo Chong who has also been arrested, so just ask him directly.
Although this contradiction occurred in the Taishou Mansion Office, and the parties involved would not spread it randomly, there is no impermeable wall in the world after all.
In just one day, the dispute between the two sides had spread all over the city.
On the morning of the third day, even Sun Ning, who was in the palace, knew a more exaggerated version from Yang Xuan and the others, saying that both sides were scolding and almost started to move.
Although Sun Ning didn't believe such rumors, he also knew that this time Guo Feng and other officials in the city had a disagreement.
This made him unpleasantly surprised, and then shook his head again, and said with a smile in his heart: "I didn't expect that there would be an unexpected gain in this design!" ”
But soon, he put away his other thoughts, and only ordered: "Let the car be prepared outside, I will go out of the palace." ”
"Your Majesty, where are you going?"
"Of course, I went to visit my good friend Guo Chong, he has been back for two days, and I don't know if he has recovered."
Sun Ning said with a smile.
Some things may leave flaws, and I have to deal with the aftermath.
