As soon as Shang Chihui's words fell, several people in yellow-striped and green clothes stood up and shouted, one after another:

"Boldly Dai Wanshan, he dared to hinder the great cause of the alchemy of the Son of Heaven, and also colluded with idle people in the rivers and lakes, etc., with bad intentions!"

"The Son of Heaven gave you a position, gave you a mansion, gave you food and clothing, and you were a parent, but you did not do things for the Son of Heaven wholeheartedly, and you escaped a white-eyed wolf!"

"How much benefit has the enemy country given you?"

"So there is no heaven in the eyes, and there is no big worry in the heart. I think it's very likely that General Dai was originally a spy sent by the Western Liang Kingdom!"

"It's a possibility. I heard that General Dai has been studying art in the Kunlun Sect of Beihai in Xiliang Dizhou since he was a child, and I am afraid that he will be rebelled at that time!"

The faces of the people in the audience changed. I wonder if Dai Wanshan obediently obeyed or rose up to resist? If Dai Wanshan and the people of the Heavenly Survey Prison started to fight, how would he do it? Even Liu Quan looked surprised, and he could not imagine that his colleagues, who usually seemed to be amiable, could fabricate so many trumped-up charges against others in an instant.

People looked at Dai Wanshan one after another, only to see Dai Wanshan's face flushed, his forehead was bruised, his fists were clenched tightly, his body couldn't help shaking, and even the chair legs under him were bent, as if they were about to break in the next moment.

"You ......"

Song Xiao was really indignant and wanted to help. Shang Chihui suddenly scolded at the others: "Shut up! Sit down! Is it your turn to speak here?" Several people from the Heaven Survey Prison were silent, and each sat back in place, but there was no apology on their faces after being blamed by their superiors, and they looked at each other with a smile.

Shang Chihui regained his calm tone and said, "General Dai, don't be angry and anxious because of these radical remarks. The Son of Heaven legislates, is disciplined, and will not wronged a good person, nor will he miss a bad person. General Dai is also the head of a local military attaché, and there are many important matters, so how can we arrest him casually?"

Dai Wanshan's fist was released, and Mrs. Dai and Dai Yue's breathing became even. Everyone's expressions were relieved, and the atmosphere in the entire meeting room eased a lot. Dai Wanshan stared at Shang Chihui and said, "Lord Shang has said so much, what do you want the last general to do?"

Shang Chihui twisted his beard again and said: "Since General Dai has admitted to both the crimes of conniving with labor and releasing criminals, I will give you three days to arrange the duties of the military attachés under him, and I will wait for the general in the Daotai Mansion and go to Tianjing together." ”

"The last will understand. ”

Dai Wanshan nodded.

"Then we're going to take our leave. ”

Shang Chihui casually bowed his hand to everyone in the hall, and walked out of the living room with the people of the Sky Survey Supervisor. Dai Wanshan did not get up to see him off, and the living room fell into cold silence for a while.

After leaving the General's Mansion and walking for a while, Shang Chihui suddenly said, "Liu Quan, don't walk at the end of the line, come to me." Liu Quan, who was walking with his head down, raised his head when he heard this, ran to Shang Chihui's side quickly, and asked, "What do you have to say?"

Shang Chihui said: "If you continue to call me Lord Shang, you will be a little out of sight, from today onwards, you will call me Brother Shang, and I will call you Brother Liu Xian." ”

Liu Quan hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, Brother Shang." ”

Shang Chihui nodded with satisfaction and continued: "Brother Liu Xian is in the General's Mansion today, and he doesn't seem to be very satisfied with his brother's words and deeds. Liu Quan hurriedly said: "Don't dare." Shang Chihui shook his head and said, "What don't you dare? Liu Quan opened his mouth, not knowing whether to say it or not. Shang Chihui twisted the tip of his beard and said, "I'm not trying to teach you, but I want to teach you." ”

"Brother Shang, please advise. ”

"From the very beginning, you thought I was rude to Miss Dai Yue, and you should expose what she didn't want to be mentioned, right?"

"This ...... The foolish brother did feel that something was wrong. What happened to her when she was taken away may be a shadow of her life, and it is cruel to mention it again and force her to recall the situation at that time, which is tantamount to committing another injury. ”

"There is nothing wrong with your thoughts, but right and wrong are not absolute, but relative. I deliberately mentioned this to give Dai Wanshan's family a slap in the face, to let them know that the Sky Survey Supervisor would not care about their feelings. If they are too polite at the beginning, they are modest in their mouths, and they may not take us seriously in their hearts. ”

"Hmm......"

"Also, do you think that for my brother and others, because of two small mistakes that can be said to be negligent in their duties, they have charged General Dai with a big crime, and it is too trivial to make a fuss?"

"Yes. Liu Quan recalled the scene and couldn't help but say, "The criminal law is harsh, which is not a bad thing. However, if you magnify small things too much and go online at every turn, it will damage the majesty of the Son of Heaven and the prestige of the imperial court. If there are too many such things, everyone in the people will be in danger, and I am afraid that it will have a bad impact on the reputation of the imperial court. ”

Shang Chihui grinned and said, "What the people think, the court doesn't care, the court only needs the people to be obedient." ”

Liu Quan was stunned: "Brother Shang, you can't say that! The ancients said, 'Water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn a boat', and we must not underestimate the power of people's hearts." ”

Shang Chihui shook his head twice: "Brother Xian, you have read too much, and your head is broken! I see that you are Yan Tianshi's nephew, and you have a great future in the future, so I kindly guide you." The other wood-headed people, hmph, I would have sent them to the bandit-infested land to be stabbed!"

Liu Quan was silent. Shang Chihui continued: "The only person I admire in the Manchu Dynasty is Yan Tianshi. In terms of martial arts, Yan Tianshi is a leader in the book and sword that you Xingyun Academy has walked out, and Kyushu rarely has it side by side. Thesis, Yan Tianshi was the champion of the golden branch thirty years ago, and his talent is ancient and modern. is so civil and military, and has also made an immortal contribution to quelling the rebellion of the Demon Sect, looking at the world, there is no second person. He retired bravely, resigned from the position of prime minister, transferred to the Heavenly Master, and concentrated on refining the Immortal Heavenly Pill. Since ancient times, famous ministers have rarely had a good death, only Yan Tianshi has been favored by the Son of Heaven so far, I would like to call the first person in ancient and modern times. ”

Liu Quan was stunned and said, "I didn't expect Lord Shang to respect Uncle Shi so much. ”

"That's nature. It's a pity that my talent is limited, and I don't have a martial arts, which is less than one-tenth of Yan Tianshi. can't be the second heavenly master, so he has to be the most loyal dog of the Son of Heaven. Shang Chihui sighed, but there was no trace of loss in his expression, "It's hard to be a good person, but it's easy to be a loyal dog." You don't need to think too much about the owner, lick the owner happily, and you are a good dog. There is nothing to be ashamed of being a dog, in this world, people are not as good as dogs. The poor have no place in the world, but the dog of the Son of Heaven can enter and exit the Golden Palace in court clothes. ”

Speaking of this, Shang Chihui saw that Liu Quan's face was becoming more and more ugly, and turned to say: "Brother Xian may be unconvinced now, because you are living too well in the academy." When everyone was young, they thought of themselves as heroic and indomitable. But after the turmoil in the rivers and lakes, when it comes to choosing one of the two, the choice made can be ......" to this pause, showing a meaningful smile, and said: "Because my brother is not as good as you, I can only learn broadly, I only know that there is a saying that 'good medicine is good for the sick, and good words are good for the ear', and I hope that the virtuous brother will think about it himself." Then he ignored Liu Quan, quickened his pace, and strode forward.

Liu Quan's mind was in chaos, his steps became slower and slower, and he was overtaken by the people of the Heaven Survey Prison one by one, and when he came back to his senses, there was no trace of any of his companions. The street was bustling with pedestrians, and a vendor came over and pulled the corner of Liu Quan's clothes, squinted and said with a smile: "This young master, do you want to buy some rouge gouache for the girl?" Liu Quan looked at the vendor, only to see that his face was still very young, but the corners of his eyes and mouth were wrinkled, I don't know if he had any disease, or he laughed too much every day, squeezing out too many fine lines. Seeing that Liu Quan didn't speak, the peddler smiled even brighter: "Young master, the blush sold by my family is the most colorful, and the girl with cold skin and white skin is no more beautiful, do you want to buy one box or two?"

"Two boxes. ”

Liu Quan took out two pieces of broken silver from his arms and threw them to the vendor, then took two small red boxes from the vendor who nodded and thanked him, put them in his arms, and continued to walk on the street.

In the General's Mansion, Mrs. Dai told everyone about the interesting story she heard when she went back to her parents' house a few days ago, including "Uncle Yue'er bought a donkey and tied it to a trough with the horse, and kicked the horse's hind legs at night, and then was slaughtered and eaten by her grandfather", and "A sow in a nearby village somehow went up the tree and got stuck on the branch, and the villagers couldn't get the sow, so they simply burned the tree and made it into a roast pig to eat it", the already cold and silent living room gradually had a lot of laughter, and finally the hall was full of excitement, as if the people from the Sky Survey Prison had never come. Dai Wanshan laughed a few times from time to time, and then fell into a wave of worry.

At this time, General Yellowbeard returned to the meeting room and said, "Mrs. Sister-in-law, the brothers have already set up the tables and chairs according to your instructions, I don't know when the meal will be?" and looked at the upper left again, and said, "I thought that the adults of the Heaven Survey Prison would also stay for dinner, but it turned out that they had already left, and Bai Duo moved more than 20 chairs." By the way, I just saw a woman in the backyard, like Ying Hailan from the Imperial Sword Hall, when did she come to the house?"

Dai Wanshan said: "Yesterday, Lord Ying and another Nanshan brother came to arrest bamboo cutters and tea pickers, and they have stayed in this mansion for the night. It's a pity that I'm going north to Tianjing in three days, so I can't cooperate with them. ”

Zheng Jitong suddenly interjected in the hall: "That's not right." Last night, Master and I stayed at the Tianlin Inn in this city, and that Master Ying Hailan's room was on the same floor as us, and I saw that she asked the inn guy to help her buy perfume!"
