Chapter 256: Convening
Then Taojuan left with Liu Gongzi, and after making sure that what Liu Gongzi said was true and there was no fraud, Taojuan gave the money to Liu Gongzi.
The news that Shen Ling had done another good deed was circulating in the community, and General Leader Gu's face darkened when he knew about it.
He had already warned Shen Ling not to use what the emperor had left behind, but he didn't expect Shen Ling to be disobedient.
In a fit of rage, General Leader Gu simply went to the school.
Liu Shusheng was thinking about what he needed to buy, and suddenly saw the one-armed hero standing at the entrance of the school, so he walked over.
"Excuse me, who are you looking for, this master?"
"Looking for you."
"Looking for me?" Liu Shusheng was surprised, he didn't know the person in front of him.
Commander Gu ignored his surprise and asked directly, "Did you go to Shen Ling a few days ago to ask for a sum of money?"
Liu Shusheng replied honestly, "That's right."
"Now, get the money back." Saying that, General Leader Gu stretched out a hand and waited for Liu Shusheng to put the money he got from Shen Ling into his palm.
Liu Shusheng frowned, "This lord, if you are short of money, you can go to Shen Dashan to explain the situation, if Shen Dashan is willing to help you, he will naturally give it, instead of asking me here."
General Gu's face was a little dark, no matter what, he had to get the money back from the emperor.
His tone was cold and hard, "I'm Shen Ling's subordinate, and she asked me to come over to collect money."
When Liu Shusheng heard that it was someone sent by Shen Ling, his attitude did not ease because of this, but he was still a little angry.
"But Shen Dashan obviously promised to help me, why did he suddenly not believe his words."
Commander Gu was a little impatient, "You don't need to know about this."
"That's it, give it to you, I'll think I'm looking at it wrong." Saying that, Liu Shusheng took out the money bag that Taojuan gave him and slapped it into Commander Gu's hand, and then waved his sleeves and left.
At first, Shen Ling didn't know about it, but Taojuan remembered that Liu Shusheng was building the school and wanted to see the progress of the school construction, so he learned that General Gu was going to leave the money.
In addition, Taojuan also went to ask other people who had been given money by Shen Ling, and found that without exception, the money was taken away by General Gu.
After inquiring into everything, Taojuan immediately went to Shen Ling, "Oh no, County Lord! The money you sent was all taken away by that Commander Gu!"
"What!" Shen Ling was still sitting upright, but when she heard it, she got up directly, "You tell me clearly, what's going on?"
Taojuan told Shen Ling the news of the exploration one by one, and Shen Ling angrily went directly to Commander Gu.
She said why no one came to her for help in the past few days, and someone demolished the stage and slapped her in the face. new
"Why do you take away the money I gave to the people? In my name!"
Chief Leader Gu glanced at Shen Ling obliquely, "I'm just afraid that you will lose all the money left by the previous emperor, so I will take it back for you for safekeeping."
Shen Ling's face was cold, and his tone was cold, "I don't need you to keep it, give me the money, I want to return it to those people."
General Leader Gu stood beside him with his chest crossed, and his momentum was not inferior to Shen Ling.
He was resolute, "No, it's the Emperor's stuff, you can't use it so casually."
Shen Ling sneered, "Heh, I'm working hard outside to earn a reputation, it's good for you to ask for money back in my name in private, ruining my reputation, whoever likes to do this world-famous task, I won't do it."
Unable to move Commander Gu, Shen Ling went on strike angrily, flicked his sleeves and went back to the inn, staying in the inn for several days, during which Shen Ling never went out at all, and even someone came to Shen Ling to help, but Shen Ling didn't see him.
Because Commander Gu took back the money sent by Shen Ling, many children and villains who were offended by Shen Ling began to preach that Shen Ling was a person who sold his reputation and fell into the well.
Zeng Weimin and other old ministers were still very satisfied with Shen Ling, but when they saw that Shen Ling had lost his fighting spirit and was in the inn all day long, he couldn't sit still.
Yang Tianfan saw that it was not a solution for things to drag on like this, so he opened his mouth to persuade.
"Commander Gu, go and apologize to the county lord."
Commander Gu was hard-tempered, and he snorted coldly, "I didn't do anything wrong, why should I apologize?"
Yang Tianfan frowned, "The first emperor left the money to the county lord, she naturally used it as she wanted, and it was not right for you to take back the money that the county lord originally promised to give away in the name of the county lord's subordinates."
Zhao Taishou hurriedly echoed, "That is, even I know that it is wrong to be untrustworthy, where are you putting the county lord with such a request for money."
Lu Fengnian also felt that this matter was done inappropriately by General Commander Gu, and then persuaded: "Now the county lord is nested in the room because of this incident and has no fighting spirit, after all, she is the blood of the former emperor, and we have to rely on the county lord if we want to overthrow the current emperor."
General Gu was not convinced, and after listening to Lu Fengnian's words, he thought that he had pinched Shen Ling.
"If you give up because of this little thing, it will only mean that she is not of great use."
Zeng Weimin, who was next to him, looked at General Gu's resolute attitude and felt his brain hurt.
The two of them just screwed like this, and because of this matter, they couldn't sleep well for Min, and when they saw that they didn't force Commander Gu, they simply went on their own.
On this day, he knocked on Shen Ling's door and walked in.
"The county lord."
"Hmm." Shen Ling answered coldly, and then went to poke the Gu worms in the cup again.
Seeing Shen Ling like this, he sighed deeply for Min.
He walked over, "County Lord, it was Commander Gu's mistake in asking for the money to leave, but he couldn't save face......
Shen Ling interrupted him, his tone a little sarcastic, "So you brought him to apologize to me?"
Zeng Wei Min raised his eyes and looked at Shen Ling's expression, and hummed hard.
Shen Ling sneered, "You don't have to speak for him, I know what he thinks of me, and I know that he doesn't feel that he has done anything wrong."
"County Lord, he just respects the emperor too much, don't compete with him."
Shen Ling sighed in his chest, "Obviously, he is competing with me, and I have worked hard to accumulate fame here, so I will take him to dismantle my platform in the back."
Seeing this, he poured a cup of tea for Shen Ling and brought it over, "The county lord is angry, what you have done these days, those old ministers have looked at it again, and they still approve of the county lord's approach."
Hearing this, Shen Ling took a sip of tea and slightly suppressed the anger in his heart.
She turned her back to Zeng Weimin, her eyes thoughtful, and she spoke after a long time.
"Then gather all your ministers, and we will discuss together how to deal with this matter."
Zeng Wei felt that there was a drama when Min heard it, so he hurriedly responded, "Okay, I'll prepare."
When the words fell, Zeng Wei Min left, and quickly gathered all the courtiers in Xingzhou, this time not only with the three generals, but also some of the Wenchen that Shen Ling would meet a few days later.
