820. Disagreements are made public
Chen Lu said: "Joke, what is terrible about me, but you, Lord Governor, may have to drink someone else's footwashing water." After speaking, he looked at Huo Zhang.
Huo Zhang said expressionlessly: "Lord Chen, don't think that you are stupid, in fact, I know in my heart, as a court mission, you have arrived in a foreign country, and you are afraid that you will not be able to appease the place, and you will be good at prestige, and even kill on a large scale, which is unreasonable." But I can't judge what is right and which is wrong. You killed Ah Kun and injured the garrison and team training, this will always be true, right?"
Chen Lu didn't say anything, and handed over the confessions of the two guards, Huo Zhang looked at it for a while, and looked at Chen Lu in surprise: "This is all true?
Chen Lu said: "To tell the truth, we really paid special attention, I was afraid that he would come to you to talk nonsense, so I didn't dare to use the punishment." To put it mildly, you two generals didn't need to be tortured at all, they were all left behind, and when you come back, you can check if there are any torture wounds. Except, of course, on the battlefield wounds, where one of your garrisons was blinded by one eye by one of my men. ”
Huo Zhang handed the confession back to Chen Lu and said, "This is really not necessarily. ”
Chen Lu shook his head and said, "Old Huo, my old man thinks he understands you, but in fact, I am self-inflicted." Your head is really not open. Forget it, my old man has a request, I want to talk to Shangguan Wuji, and then talk to Habu's acquaintance, you think it's okay, just call Shangguan Wuji, if you think it's not good, it's okay, my old man will turn around and leave. ”
Huo Zhang said lightly: "If you really don't think it's okay, do you think you can still go?"
Chen Lu said: "Lao Huo, tell you the truth, I don't have any other self-confidence, that's it, I really don't believe in evil, my old man doesn't want to stay, no one can do anything." I'll go to Sahr City to find your boss, you know, he still gives my old man some face, at least so that I can make things clear. ”
Where is this begging for someone, this is obviously coercion, Huo Zhang smiled bitterly and said: "Lord Chen is an understanding person, I don't know how to get involved in such a lawsuit, such a difficult lawsuit." You can talk to Shangguan Wuji first. ”
With a wave of his hand, he went out and brought Shangguan Wuji in alone.
Gongsun Wuji gave the two of them a salute, and Huo Zhang said, "Lord Shangguan, you repeat the content of Tongzhi's speech to Lord Chen." ”
Shangguan Wuji glanced at Chen Lu and said, "Lord Chen, Xiaguan will tell you as he said, there is no personal opinion on whether it is good or bad, please do more Haihan." ”
Chen Lu waved his hand and said: "Don't be so polite, no matter how polite I am, my old man can't stand it, so he ran away as soon as he shook his hand in the camp, and gave Zicheng a faceless, I don't have to bear it." ”
Shangguan Wuji's face was expressionless, and he didn't seem to react to Chen Lu's words, and recounted the matter.
————
The garrison received a report that there was a group of mountain bandits robbing on the official road, and the garrison immediately dispatched troops to let Tongzhi stay at home, and later someone reported that these people were not mountain bandits, but the Celestial Empire mission, they did not dare to make a big move, but the mission did not forgive, killed and injured many soldiers, and told Tongzhi to be very careful.
In this way, the liaison soldiers reported every half an hour, knowing their specific number, and feeling that the officers and soldiers of the garrison would not suffer a loss, they did not report to the governor's palace.
After almost two hours, the soldiers all withdrew, only to know that something serious had happened, and countermeasures were being discussed, who knew that there was another robbery of Helu households at night, hundreds of houses were burned, and the number of dead and injured is still unknown, and now it should be counted. It was reported to the garrison that the gold and silver treasures were in the embassy's camp, filled with two large carts.
After Shangguan Wuji finished speaking, he bowed and stood up, waiting for the commander's order.
Huo Zhang said: "That's it, Shangguan, you let Tongzhi go back first, there is such a big thing there, and no one can deal with it." We'll talk about the rest. ”
Chen Lu interjected: "Lao Huo, there is a problem with your arrangement, since he is here, the family must have made arrangements, and it is not appropriate to let him go back." ”
Shangguan Wuji also nodded and said, "What Lord Chen said makes sense. ”
Huo Zhang knew about Shangguan Wuji's affairs in the embassy camp, and made the angel faceless, and now looking at the attitude of him and Chen Lu, he understood in his heart that this capital was very unhappy with the Celestial Empire mission, and said with a smile: "You two are surprisingly consistent......
This sentence has made the differences between the two of them public. Chen Lu knew in his heart that although the two had the same opinion and both wanted to leave Tongzhi behind, the starting point was different, Chen Lu wanted Tongzhi to make it clear, while Shangguan Wuji wanted Tongzhi to prove that the mission killed people and set fires.
Chen Lu suddenly laughed out loud, and the two looked at him inexplicably, and he laughed one after another.
Huo Zhang was very displeased, and said, "Lord Chen, what does it mean to be smiling all the time when you have something to say?"
Ahem......
Ha ha......
Chen Lu looked like he couldn't stop, pointed at Shangguan Wuji and smiled, and said, "Ahem...... Ha ha...... We Han people have a saying, it is a couplet of Maitreya Buddha, laughing at the ridiculous people in the world. Shangguan Wuji......"
Chen Lu stopped laughing all of a sudden, and said solemnly: "You can't hear such an obvious loophole in Tongzhi, first, who did the Celestial Empire rob on the official road? It only alarmed your garrison mansion? Second, the two families are fighting fiercely, and your garrison has so many men and horses, why don't you go to reinforce it? Are you sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight? Third, since you know that the garrison was seriously injured and arrested, and the servants died in battle, why didn't they report it to the governor's palace? What are they going to do?"
He was stunned to ask about this, and looked at Chen Lu with a puzzled expression.
Chen Lu turned his face to Huo Zhang, and his tone became more and more stern.
"Fourth, since the Helu legation has become your mortal enemy, and you still watch them camp outside the city? Is this reasonable? Is there some shady deed? Is it unjustifiable? Fifth, when the Helu family was robbed, why didn't the garrison ask the people and say that the mission did it? Is his reason that we have two carts of gold and silver? This is the sixth I said, how do they know that we have two carts of gold and silver? Seventh...... Eighth ......"
Speaking of this, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "There is no end to the suspicions here, can't you even see it at all as a matter of capital? I have the right to suspect that you are involved in this matter. ”
Shangguan Wuji's face became more and more pale, and he muttered, "Yes, there are so many doubts, why didn't I see it?" After speaking, he turned his distracted eyes to Huo Zhang.
Huo Zhang also felt harsh when he heard these words, isn't this obviously scolding himself? He handed the confession of the garrison and regimental training to Shangguan Wuji.
Obviously, although Shangguan Wuji is just a matter of everything, Huo Zhang still trusts him very much. Everything in the Celestial Empire is eight grades, and they are here six grades, which shows the importance of this position.
