Chapter 72: Confrontation Again (1)
Maybe it was because of habit, but in the face of Liu Buren's strange expression, Gongsun Ziyang suddenly had an ominous feeling.
"Could it be that this guy has seen some clues? Or did I show a flaw somewhere, and he found out that I was not really Gongsun Ziyang?" he thought in his heart, and his originally relaxed nerves tightened again.
"Boss, yes, did your subordinates make you unhappy? Subordinates should be beaten, should be beaten!" Liu Buren obviously misunderstood, he may have seen the increasingly ugly face of the boss, and stammered and explained busily, and then got up to slap his mouth.
Seeing him like this, Gongsun Ziyang hurriedly stretched out his hand to grab him, and said, "Elder Liu, what are you doing? I don't blame you? Stop!" On the other hand, he was secretly happy in his heart, and let out a sigh of relief, it turned out that he was just nervous.
"The boss really doesn't blame his subordinates?" Liu Buren was still unsure.
Gongsun Ziyang nodded, pulled Liu Buren to sit down again, and said: "Manly man, if you are wrong, you are right, and there is nothing to hide, since I want you to talk about it, where will I blame you? If that's the case, won't it become a reversal? How else can you be the head of a faction, and how can you still be brothers? I just thought of some other things, so Elder Liu, you should rest assured to continue." What is the reason why you want to stop talking?" he could only express his attitude more sincerely, because there is no other way to win the trust of others than to be sincere, which is also his creed of life. (Of course, in his day, sincerity may have been overshadowed and polluted by fame and fortune, by endless desires, so much so that in many cases sincerity became synonymous with hypocrisy.) Now that I think about it, modern people are still pitiful1)
"Boss, you have really changed, although you have talked a lot, and those strange etiquette subordinates can't fully understand, but the boss's trust in his subordinates, tolerance for unkindness, and inhumanity completely understand. Rest assured, from this moment on, I, Liu Buren, will no longer have reservations about the boss, let alone have the slightest doubt about what the boss says and do......es!"
"Boss, those three people said that the head of the sect was with a disciple of the Wind Gate, and the relationship was extraordinary. Regardless of whether what the three of them said was true or not, since they mentioned Fengmen, they would rather believe it, not to mention Mu, the head of Murong was in the city, so the subordinates temporarily decided to return to Pingnan City, so they went directly to the old store of the He family, but I didn't expect to really meet you. Liu Buren said.
"Well, that makes sense, I also said that I have only just arrived in Pingnan City, and the number of people who know my identity is extremely limited, but you can find me very accurately, it turns out that it is based on a piece of intelligence and a bold and careful speculation. Elder Liu, not only are you strong in martial arts, but it seems that your IQ is not low!"
"Boss, you said that your subordinates don't understand what you understand? What, what is IQ? Could it be that what is a Western word? Boss, you are really unfathomable, and you have actually left Middle-earth!" Liu Buren raised his head and looked at the head in front of him with a puzzled expression and asked.
"No wonder he always forgets what era this is, but still uses the vocabulary of my time, no wonder he looks ignorant. The pseudo-boss knew that he had lost his words again.
"Oh yes, I did go out and get some knowledge of the Gentile customs, so sometimes some of the things I said were difficult for the brethren to understand. By the way, you haven't said it yet, why were you so embarrassed just now, if it's just because the previous things are completely unnecessary, right?" he hurriedly snorted, and then asked again.
"This ...... This one...... She...... No, it's fine. As soon as he heard that the boss was still holding on to that question, Liu Buren's expression suddenly became stiff, and he stammered and didn't know how to answer.
But the more he is like this, the more it shows that there must be something in this, how can Gongsun Ziyang ignore it?
"Elder Liu, if you don't say it, I have to order you to say it as the head of the sect!" So, he raised his voice a little and said.
Liu Buren didn't dare at this time, and said to the head of the house: "Head, please forgive your subordinates for their troubled crimes, the reason why your subordinates are a little embarrassed is that they are a little embarrassed, and secondly, because it is a private matter of the head of the house, and the subordinates dare not ask, but it is also about the prestige of the head of the sect and the reputation of the sect in the future in the rivers and lakes, so the subordinates are in a dilemma for a while." “
"Is it that serious? “
"Yes, it's because of the female disciple in the Fengmen, the girl standing next to the head of Murong!" Liu Buren finally said.
"You said Murong Hui?" asked Gongsun Ziyang, but he couldn't help muttering in his heart, because he immediately reacted to what Liu Buren was going to say. Especially in the era when feudal etiquette was extremely strict, that kind of thing was almost no different from violating ethics. You think on the one hand, you and Murong Ge have long had an intimacy beyond ordinary men and women (everyone can see it, not to mention that everyone on the rivers and lakes may have long been known. On the other hand, you are not clear about mixing with other people's nieces, and you have been alone for so long, plus Murong Hui's trouble. What will others think, how will they look at it? Will it be said that Gongsun Ziyang eats from all ages, eating from the bowl and looking at the pot? No matter how ugly it is, will he scold the beast for not being as good as that? Others don't know, but now Liu Buren's expression is enough to explain the problem.
At that time, Miss Murong was her, and her eyes were ...... Hey, the subordinates don't know how to describe it, anyway, the head of the house should still be broken early, otherwise when the break continues, it will be chaotic!" Liu Buren said again, he was persuading the head to hurry up and rein in the precipice, and don't end up ruining his reputation because of this kind of thing.
"This, this ......" This time, the impostor didn't know how to explain it, he felt uncomfortable in his chest, he wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it, and everything he said in front of the facts was pale and powerless.
"But it seems too far-fetched to blame Gongsun Ziyang for this matter, but if I have to bear it all, then I still feel wronged to death? The fault is only that I became Gongsun Ziyang, and Gongsun Ziyang became me, hey, sad urging!"
But he always has to explain, after all, the face of the head of the faction must be taken into account, otherwise who will listen to him in the future?
"Well, this matter is not what Elder Liu thinks. Miss Murong and I only met in Pingshui, because we met by chance in the mountains, and we happened to be on the same road, so we only got acquainted, at most, we only had the affection to help each other, you and I are walking on the rivers and lakes, so it won't even lead to reverie, right?" The impostor forced his composure, opened his mouth to defend himself, and said that now that he is Gongsun Ziyang, he must win the hearts of the people on the one hand, unite all the forces that can be united for his own use, and on the other hand, he must also establish the necessary prestige.
He thinks that these words are very serious, even if Liu Buren does not fully believe it in his heart, he will not mention this matter again, and he is likely to be the first to stand up to maintain his image as the head of the house in the future.
"In this way, if it is really a subordinate mediocrity who disturbs himself, please punish the head. However, please rest assured that in the future, if there are any more private discussions by others, they will not be forgiven!"
