Chapter 744: Inner Ghost
Long Xiong's plea made the lieutenant generals and military fort owners in the house stunned, but they quickly understood with relief.
They understand Long Xiong's temperament, he is by no means a person who tends to be inflammatory, and he has no close relationship with Sun Liang, and the reason why he came forward to intercede is mainly because of the facts explained by Sun Liang.
Long Xiong's leader, after a while, several lieutenants with flashing eyes also stepped forward together, clasping their fists and pleading.
All of a sudden, basically all the lieutenant generals and fort masters in the house opened their mouths to plead.
Sun Liang's words did speak to their hearts, sitting in Ganzhou for so many years, only they know the hardships, and now just because of a rumor from Saktu, they are so censored, which is enough to make these generals a little chilled.
When they return to their respective territories, how will they explain to the brothers below?
Therefore, even if this intercession is likely to implicate themselves, they must express their inner thoughts.
The pleas of the generals made Wang Zhenshan's face a little ugly, and he shouted angrily at everyone.
"What are you doing here! Is it trying to coerce and threaten the old man and the Overseer? ”
"Don't retreat quickly, if not, military law will be engaged!"
Wang Zhenshan didn't know the hard work and hardships of the generals, but tens of thousands of Hui evil troops sneaked into Ganzhou quietly in front of them.
It was originally a very simple review, but it was suddenly united by his generals, if this was spread out, would some people not say that he could not control the Ganzhou generals, and he would be threatened?
If at this time, some people blow the wind in Su Xuanyong's ears, maybe there will be a big change in the position of the generals in Ganzhou.
Wang Zhenshan's angry rebuke seemed to be a reprimand, but in fact, he wanted to protect the people in front of him.
It's just that these people are like iron-hearted, they don't have the slightest intention of backing down, they stand still and don't move, it seems that they want to protect Li Zhong and Sun Liang.
Just when the atmosphere in the room fell into a stalemate, Su Qi'an put down the teacup in his hand and said unhurriedly.
"The sincerity of Vice Admiral Long, as well as the lieutenant generals and the lord of the military fort, this overseer can see it in his eyes, and he can also understand the hardships in your hearts."
"Although Sun Liangbao's words are unpleasant, there is some truth in them, and our review must not be chaotic because of the enemy's provocation."
"The Overseer's failure to greet you during this action is an oversight on the part of the Overseer, and I apologize to you."
"Lord Overseer is polite, his subordinates don't dare."
Su Qi'an's attitude suddenly softened, and he took the initiative to apologize, which somewhat surprised the generals in the house.
The official who came to Ganzhou from Kyoto for so many years, Su Qi'an is not the only one, but like Su Qi'an, he took the initiative to admit his mistakes and could listen to what they said, he was indeed the first one.
Su Qi'an can have such a statement, he has already put his posture very low, as local generals, it is naturally impossible for them to turn a blind eye and hurriedly reply politely.
Su Qi'an nodded, and then changed the conversation and continued.
"However, this operation, Ganzhou has indeed exposed a lot of problems, especially how tens of thousands of Hui evil troops sneaked in quietly under our eyes, this matter will definitely be investigated by the Overseers."
"Therefore, before the matter is investigated, the generals can stay in Tiannan City for the time being and cooperate with the work of this overseer, as for the failure of Li Liang and other military fort masters, combined with the opinions of the generals, they will not be punished for the time being."
"After this overseer investigates the problem clearly, he will be punished together, I wonder if the generals have any opinions?"
When the generals heard this, they all shook their heads, Su Qi'an's words were already a kind of compromise in disguise, no matter how interesting they were, they also knew that some things had to be measured.
I don't have an opinion on Su Qi'an, but I have a question asking Su Qi'an about how long this investigation will be.
After all, Saktu's army has not retreated, and has always been on the border, and the border war in Ganzhou has not yet ended, if they, the generals of military towns and military forts, do not return to their respective positions in time, after a long time, there will definitely be problems.
Everyone's worries, Su Qi'an took it into account, he said with a smile, "Don't worry, it won't delay you for long, it won't exceed seven days, I will definitely give you an explanation, if it's okay, you will go down and rest." ”
Seeing this, everyone nodded, and then under the leadership of the soldiers of Tiannan City, they arranged to rest one by one.
The generals left one by one, and only Su Qi'an and Wang Zhenshan were left in the room.
Wang Zhenshan retracted his gaze, looked at Su Qi'an on the side, and said softly with a little apology on his face.
"The Overseer made you see a joke today, I didn't expect them to have such a grudge against you in their hearts, don't worry, I will teach them a good lesson later, this is too much."
Wang Zhenshan's apology, but Su Qi'an smiled and waved his hand, "Hehe, Wang Lao, do you think I'm the kind of narrow-minded person?" I have never taken this matter to heart, but I have also experienced the war in Ningzhou, and I can understand the suffering of the border. ”
"Although they speak straight, this is indeed an indisputable fact, the deducted military salary, unfair treatment, this time I came, I will definitely not allow such a thing to happen, Wang Lao, you can see it."
"By the way, Elder Wang, in terms of seniority or identity, you are all respected seniors, you don't need to call the juniors like this, the juniors can't afford it, if Wang Lao doesn't give up, you can call the juniors Qi An."
"It's... This is absolutely impossible, although you are a junior Overseer, but the contribution of the past few years, even if it is an old man, is quite admirable, with your age, worthy of the status of Overseer. ”
Su Qi'an's words made Wang Zhenshan's heart warm, although he and Su Qi'an only had a few encounters in Kyoto, he didn't let himself be wrong.
At such an age, he has such an achievement, and if he is an ordinary person, he has long forgotten about it, but Su Qi'an has been polite to him until now.
On this point, Wang Zhenshan knew that Su Qi'an was trustworthy, although Su Qi'an said this, but he did not rely on the old to sell the old, even if Su Qi'an was very young, he was worthy of the title of Overseer.
In his eyes, age is just a number, and he can't do it by relying on seniority to sell the old.
Seeing Wang Zhenshan so insistent, Su Qi'an was silent for a while, and then said, "Since Wang Lao is so insistent, then you and I will take a step back, and call the juniors Su Hou." ”
Wang Zhenshan's eyes flashed, looking at Su Qi'an's equally insistent look, he knew that if he continued to back down, he was afraid that this matter would not be over.
Calling Su Hou is okay, Wang Zhenshan thought for a moment and nodded slightly.
Then he seemed to think of something, and suddenly said, "By the way, Su Hou, will the seven-day investigation time you set a little too hasty." ”
"Although Sun Liang's words are indeed reasonable, but to say that there is no problem at all with the rescue of the city this time, the old man will definitely not believe it, Su Hou, you have no choice but to agree to their request."
"But what if they dodge it for seven days?"
"Rest assured, Elder Wang, seven days is more than enough time, I believe that this inner ghost will not be able to help but jump out."
Looking at Su Qi'an's appearance of being a bamboo in his chest, Wang Zhenshan nodded slightly, didn't ask, and spoke.
"Then the old man will wait for good news, if there is anything needed, as long as a word, the old man will definitely help.
Su Qi'an nodded and said, "There is really something to trouble Elder Wang next." ”
When Wang Zhenshan heard this, his ears leaned over...
On the other side, the seventeen lieutenant generals and the lord of the military fort who were taken down were quickly arranged to their own rooms.
Each room is not contiguous, the nearest two are separated by a half-garden, and the only advantage is that you can see the main entrance of the other two or three rooms in the distance.
Moreover, the door of each room was guarded by two soldiers, and the range of activities that could be carried out during these seven days was not only his own room, but also half of the garden at the door.
Moreover, the movement in the garden must be monitored by the soldiers at the gate.
No matter how you look at it, it looks like a house arrest in disguise, but even if you know it, no one dares to say anything.
This time, it is already the limit to be able to temporarily exempt Li Zhong and others from the military law of the deadline, and if there is no need for Su Qi'an to make a joint protest, Wang Zhenshan will suppress them.
As Su Qi'an said, tens of thousands of Hui evil troops quietly appeared in Ganzhou, and as local generals, they didn't notice it at all, in addition to dereliction of duty, there are definitely so-called internal ghosts among them.
If this matter is not investigated, let alone Su Qi'an, even they will be in danger.
Since the overseer from the court had given him a guarantee of seven days, they couldn't say anything.
Su Qi'an checked him, they rested on their own, anyway, they waited for seven days, no matter if they found out any internal ghosts, they had to be released.
The right to rest in Tiannan City for these seven days, with this mentality, the displeasure in many people's hearts dissipated.
Seventeen generals, gathered together, after seeing their respective rooms, hugged their fists in farewell, and then turned to leave.
Among them, Li Zhong, who was exempted from punishment, walked quickly to Long Xiong and Sun Liang to express his gratitude for helping him just now.
Sun Liang was okay, he waved his hand with a kind smile on his face, but it was Long Xiong, his face was indifferent, and he said coldly.
"This is not for yourself, but for me and other colleagues, if you can save your life, Li Zhong, I hope you will not be so confused next time, that's all, farewell."
After that, Long Xiong turned his head, this scene made Li Zhong a little embarrassed, he wanted to thank him, but he didn't expect the hot face to stick to the cold buttocks.
Just when the atmosphere was slightly awkward, Sun Liang, who was fortunately on the side, spoke up with relief.
"Li Zhong, don't mind, Vice General Long has this temper, it's good that he can help you out of the siege, don't expect anything else."
"I understand this, so naturally I won't go to my heart, but Lord Sun Bao, do you think there will really be internal ghosts among us? What if I don't find out? ”
Sun Liang had a smile on his face, patted Li Zhong's shoulder and said with a smile, "Put your heart in your stomach, whether there are internal ghosts or not is not something we can deal with, this matter has its own overseers and protectors to worry about, anyway, as long as we don't do anything wrong, we are not afraid of any problems, so we should take these seven days as rest." ”
