Chapter 224: Collusion?
"Killing people without blinking is nothing, killing children without blinking... This Qi Guozhong is really a little capable. Moreover, he really didn't pierce the eye. His son's blood entered his eyes, but he didn't say a word to close it, blinking. If we don't have a son, even if we do, we can't do this. On the seat, Yun Zheng throbbed with emotion.
"That... What does the commander mean?" Gou Xiaoyun looked at Yun Zheng and asked.
"We have to think about it, think about it. Yun Zheng patted his head lightly, as if he had a headache. Turning his head sideways, he looked at Ye Yuze again: "Xiao Ye, what do you say?"
"Can't stay!"
"What the Lord of the Night has said is very true, and it is true that he cannot be kept. Dongfang Han suddenly echoed: "Tiger poison does not eat children, he can slaughter his sons, this person and we are friends and enemies, it is better to strike first!"
Dongfang Han spoke, got up suddenly, looked at the meaning, and just waited for Yun Zheng to order, he was going to chase out and finish off that Qi Guozhong.
"Wait, let us think, think. Yun Zheng waved his hand, signaling Dongfang Han to return to his seat, and was silent.
A few people couldn't help frowning when they saw Yun Zheng's style, and their eyes were full of doubts, when did the commander of the East Factory who had killed countless people become so timid?
But in the end, the status is poor, as Xu Ruyi's most trusted No. 2 person in Dongchang, his words, several people naturally dare not listen.
"It's not that our family is afraid of him, I don't know how many people eat it, and what are you afraid of if you kill a few more. It's just that... Yun Zheng sighed, pointed to his feet, and then pointed to the blood stains that had not dried up not far in front of him, and said, "As the old saying goes, you can't be reluctant to let a child trap a wolf." It is also said that you can't get into the tiger's den. Tonight, this Qi Guozhong entered our tiger's den, and gave up his own son. Our family is really curious, what is he trying to do? Or, in his heart, who is the wolf he wants to trap, and who is the tiger he wants to catch?"
After a few years of ups and downs in a high position, and the sea of blood has been refined, Yun Zheng is no longer the nest woodcutter who didn't know about it back then. When encountering problems, he also knows to think and consider, although the lack of background leads to a limited pattern, but at least he will try his best to think about it and will not make any decisions randomly.
Steady, this is also a major reason why Xu Ruyi is at ease with him. It's not scary to be stupid, it's scary to be smart.
"Your Excellency. The twigs are resurrected. In the silence, Liu Xiaozhi and Luo Fulai reported in a low voice outside.
"Come in. ”
"Yes. Liu Xiaozhi was the first to enter, Luo Fulai was half a step behind, and when he entered the hall, the first thing he smelled in his nose was the bloody breath that had not yet drifted away, and then looked at the atmosphere in this hall, and the two of them did not speak, they stood quietly with their hands down, waiting for a reply.
"Why has it been so long?" Yun Zheng frowned and said in a dark voice.
"Back to the words of adults, the land is vast and sparsely populated, counting... It's hard to make up. Willow Twig replied softly.
"How many did you kill?"
"A thousand. The body and the house were directly burned, and the head of the Jingguan was placed outside the gate, and if the adults had a heart, they could check it at any time. ”
"No need. I don't have to worry about you doing things. ”
Yun Zheng still knows a lot about the deputy director of the Punishment Division and the black-hearted guard camp master who he personally selected. After a moment of silence, Yun Zheng turned his gaze to Luo Fulai, who was trembling on the side, his voice was sharp and low, revealing a sense of dissatisfaction: "Luo Fulai?"
"My subordinates are here!" Luo Fulai knelt on the ground with a "plop" and kowtowed three times before replying.
"The Dongchang Yamen in Ganzhou will be handed over to you, and it is really not good to make our family look like this grandmother in the past few years. I have lost the face of your night master, and I have also lost the face of our East Factory. ”
"Subordinate... Subordinates are ten thousand deaths, begging... Beg... Luo Fulai "begged" twice, but in the end he still didn't say the nonsense of sparing his life and being gracious.
I also stayed in the East Factory in Beijing back then, so I naturally have some understanding of Yun Zheng's temper, and if I am wrong, I will be wrong, and I will wait for it to fall. What Yun Zheng hates the most is those nonsense that pleads.
"Yes, remember our family's temper, or that sentence, some things can't be blamed on you. Go down and get fifty lashes yourself, and the matter will be over. Yun Zheng's ugly face suddenly smiled, and waved his hand again: "Let's get up and talk back first." ”
"Thank you for not killing!" Luo Fulai knocked his head three times in a row, and he was like the rest of his life after the catastrophe.
In fact, the punishment of Dongchang, where is the fifty lashes of ordinary yamen, which are all stained with salt water and barbs. Fifty lashes go down, even if you have the power to protect your body, you will also lose half your life. But it's better to lose half a life than to lose it all, isn't it?
Standing up slowly, he could hear Yun Zheng ask again: "It's been almost three years, even if you are a waste again, there are always a few big cats and kittens under their hands." Even if you don't, you've been here for three years, and there's always a pair of tricks, we want to ask you, this Qi Guozhong... What the hell is it, and how much do you know?"
Hearing this, Luo Fulai's head sweated like rain. Because he really didn't know what to say, in this Ganzhou City, Luo Fulai was neither big nor small and had a bit of status, but he had never been in that circle. stammered a few times, and finally put a hot face on the cold ass. People don't take him to play, and he doesn't have a problem. Once or twice, he doesn't think about it.
Normally, it's nothing, but now that Yun Zheng smelled it, he suddenly felt numb again. No one knows eunuchs better than eunuchs, fickle, vicious, and scheming. The psychological deformity and tyranny brought about by the mutilation of the body are only understood by these eunuchs.
"How... You don't mean to tell us that you don't know anything, do you?" a cold voice echoed in the hall, as if a yin wind was swirling and whistling.
"This... This... ”
"Don't know anything? Can't say a word?" Ye Yuze on the side snorted coldly, his eyes narrowed slightly, intentionally or unintentionally, the scabbard on his knee flicked lightly: "Why did our inspector come up with such a thing as you?"
"Great... My lord!" Luo Fulai suddenly shouted, remembered something, and hurriedly said: "My lord Mingjian, this Qi Guozhong is the head of civil officials in this Ganzhou, and the face of the imperial court. He is majestic and unparalleled, but he has a lot of kindness to the people under his rule, and he is not harsh, and his official reputation is excellent.
But a few adults should know that in this place of Ganzhou, he Qi Guozhong is not the first prefect, and he is an iron-clad official of the yamen and flowing water, why can Ganzhou develop under his hands Qi Guozhong, but it is a poor country under the hands of others?"
"If you have something to say, if you have a fart, let it go, what a bend, waste time. ”
"Yes, yes, the second gear head said. Seeing that Gou Xiaoyun was impatient, Luo Fulai hurriedly said his speculation: "Over the years, Xia Guan has vaguely heard the news about this Qi Guozhong and the horse thieves outside the Saiwai and the group of Tartars... It seems a little ambiguous. ”
Yun Zheng thought for a moment and asked rhetorically, "I heard?"
"His subordinates think it's very possible, otherwise why was his former prefect beheaded less than a year after he took office? Why did he take office with good trade routes and few lootings?
"Horse thief, Tartar?" Yun Zheng's intuition flashed in his mind, as if he had caught something, but after thinking about it, there was no trace.
"It's a bit of a good news. Dongfang Han was silent for a long time, nodded and said, "Touch along the vine, maybe you can have some heels." ”
