Chapter 871: Aftermath (Part 2) [Raising high to ask for votes]
Pei Xingjian was almost choked to death by Su Dingfang!
This was his teacher. He couldn't get angry or even have a slightly displeased attitude. He had no choice but to smile bitterly and said: "It's not a question of whether the Gu family deserved their sins or deserved their death. It's that this matter was done too roughly. In the words of the chief manager, To put it simply... it was simple and crude, with too little technical content. It was natural that the Gu family would not regret dying, but it made the world famous because of it. All the aristocratic families felt fear and sorrow, and they would definitely express their dissatisfaction with the general manager, or even directly attack him! Now everything in Huating Town is on track, like the rising sun, showing a bright future. If this happened, It will cause an immeasurable blow to the cause of Huating Town. Isn’t it a small gain but a big loss?”
To put it bluntly, it was because he was afraid that the emperor would not be able to withstand the pressure from the aristocratic family and transferred Fang Jun back to Chang'an.
Although Huating Town is Fang Jun's fiefdom, but he forced His Majesty Li Er to change the name of Fang Jun's title, such as changing "Huating Hou" to "Lantian Hou", etc., the fiefdom was changed as a matter of course. . This is still a despicable method, and His Majesty Li Er may not agree with it. After all, doing so is tantamount to the emperor trying to bow his head to the family and damaging the emperor's dignity. But if Fang Jun’s title is raised to a higher level, from marquis to duke, and he is granted the title of an unreliable duke, the fiefdom will still be changed!
If those aristocratic families are allowed to confront Fang Jun, they may feel sorry for themselves and are unwilling to do it, but such a plan to draw money from the bottom of the cauldron will definitely be used by those aristocratic families...
Once Fang Jun's fiefdom is changed, Huating Town will inevitably fall into the hands of those aristocratic families. Wouldn't the good situation be ruined?
Pei Xingjian had previously disagreed with Fang Jun's strategy, thinking it was too strong and unmellow. It's just that Fang Jun insists on his own way, and the others don't agree or object. As long as Fang Jun lets him do it, he will do it...
Liu Rengui and Su Dingfang had the same attitude: "Why do you think so much? Being restrained makes people think that they are weak and can be bullied. The Gu family has no conscience and has done many evil things, so they deserve to die. They also hide the remnants of the Sui Dynasty, secretly raise soldiers, and conspire to bring disaster to the world. Each and every one of them is a serious crime that will destroy the three clans. Even if we don’t do it, can the court still tolerate him?”
Pei Xingjian rolled his eyes helplessly.
Okay, it just doesn’t make sense with these guys. They all have abilities, but their political consciousness is equivalent to that of an idiot. I feel so tired...
Su Dingfang looked at Fang Jun apologetically: "It's someone's fault this time. There should be more guards around the general manager. If not for luck, Gu Zhu and Wu Duohai might have succeeded..."
Thinking of this matter, everyone has lingering fears.
If the patrol camp next to the town office responds slower, or if the soldiers take the main entrance instead of climbing over the wall...
The consequences are unimaginable.
However, Fang Jun survived the disaster and was charged with one more crime of assassinating a court official.
Fang Jun waved his hand and said casually: "It doesn't have to be like this. Who would have expected that Gu Zhu would be so crazy and dare to gather a group of assassins to assassinate in front of the town office? But then again, the patrols in the town have always been strict. , even if it rained heavily in those two days, There was no sign of slacking off, but Gu Zhu and others were able to sneak into the town without anyone noticing, and killed the clerk in the shop opposite the town office, occupying the magpie's nest, and waited for me to fall into the trap... It is absolutely impossible to say that Zhang Liang has nothing to do with it.”
Pei Xingjian frowned and said: "According to the identification of the soldiers and workers on the dock, Gu Zhu and others were discovered when they tried to sneak into the town the day before yesterday. After Gu Zhu and others were discovered, they had no way to escape, but they were found on the river. He was stopped and rescued by Zhang Liang's fake son Gongsunjie, but he was finally rescued. As soon as he went to Zhang Liang to testify, Zhang Liang denied it. The general asked to arrest Gongsunjie and confronted the workers and soldiers, but he was told that Gongsunjie had absconded... Zhang Liang was definitely related, but there was no evidence. There’s nothing you can do about him.”
"This man is insidious and cunning. Just by looking at his unwillingness to stay away from this place, you know that he must have other plans in his heart. We must be on guard against him."
Su Dingfang said in a deep voice.
Fang Jun sneered: "Since he did it in the first year of junior high school, don't blame me for doing it in the fifteenth year!"
Pei Xingjian was startled: "General Manager, you don't want to kill Zhang Liang too, do you? This is absolutely impossible! After all, he is the Deputy General Manager appointed by His Majesty, and he is also a dignified Duke, a famous general in the world. This is beyond comparison with the Gu family!”
After destroying the whole Gu family, there is still something to say, after all, the evidence is solid. Only those aristocratic families would complain about Fang Jun being too cruel, but if Zhang Liang was killed, it would definitely cause dissatisfaction among the generals in the court!
No matter how bad Zhang Liang's character is, he is still a dignified prince!
Kill him, the consequences will be disastrous!
Nowadays, aristocratic families are fighting to annihilate Fang Jun, but those martial arts families are naturally in Fang Jun's camp. Even if they don't show their arms and go into battle personally, they will at least remain neutral.
If Zhang Liang is moved again, not to mention those martial arts families changing their stance, even His Majesty will not be able to allow Fang Jun to act so recklessly without any bottom line!
Fang Jun said speechlessly: "How could I be that stupid? I just gave him a lesson, I'm not crazy!"
hehe! Are you not crazy?
You wiped out the entire Gu family when you were not crazy. I really want to see what you are like when you are really crazy...
Pei Xingjian curled his lips and said nothing.
Liu Rengui thought for a while and suggested: "Why don't we rush on board the boat at night, put on a sack and give him a good beating?"
Su Dingfang disagreed: "There will definitely be contact by then, and there will inevitably be casualties. It's hard to explain on the face of it."
Fang Jun rolled his eyes at Liu Rengui: "The technical content is too low, why bother with that? Just scuttle the ship! Doesn't that old man stay on the ship every day? Sink all his ships and see what else he can do Lai?”
Liu Rengui praised: "The general manager is still very clever. Zhang Liang's subordinates are all generals who are not good at water. When the time comes, we only need to send a few soldiers who are good at water to secretly dig through the bottom of the ship. It is really wonderful!"
Su Dingfang rolled his eyes and said: "What a fart! You also know that Zhang Liang's men are not good at water. If the ship sinks, won't all those guys drown?"
Liu Rengui was stunned, really...
Fang Jun disagreed: "When the time comes, we will wait around them early. When the ship sinks, we will rescue them from dire straits like magic soldiers coming from the sky. Shouldn't they be grateful to us?"
Su Dingfang thought for a while, nodded and said: "This is a good idea."
Pei Xingjian put his hand on his forehead, feeling very embarrassed.
After all, the people here are all powerful people, but they are actually sitting here discussing how to scuttle other people's ships, and then they are despicable and shameless and want to go to the rescue as a savior, making people want to bite you to death and say this to you. Say "thank you"...
Who are these people?
It feels like I have entered a den of thieves by mistake...
Fang Jun looked at Pei Xingjian's constipation-like expression and said, "It's like this. Who will be sent to take charge of the overall situation? This person must be bold and careful, otherwise he will be rescued too late and drown." Not good.”
Several people were sitting upright, and no one was willing to do such an immoral thing.
Fang Jun then said: "In that case, let's vote by a show of hands. The minority obeys the majority. I recommend Pei Changshi."
"Agreed."
"Agreed."
There were four people in the room. Fang Jun suggested. Su Dingfang and Liu Rengui raised their hands instantly, and the matter was settled.
Pei Xingjian opened his mouth. The minority obeyed the majority and he had lost the qualification to oppose.
He couldn't help but said: "Why me? I won't do it!"
Fang Jun said quietly: "Could it be me?"
The dignified chief manager, it is indeed inappropriate to do this. If word spreads, the entire Navy and the entire Huating Town will be embarrassed.
Pei Xingjian looked at Su Dingfang.
Su Dingfang said angrily: "Evil disciple! Do you want to go as a teacher?"
Pei Xingjian was startled and quickly expressed his position: "This can't be done! How dare you bother the teacher?"
Liu Rengui didn't wait for him to look over, and said quietly: "A certain person was injured. He was shot by a cold arrow when attacking Gujiawu Fort. The wound was so deep that it suppurated..."
He spread his two fingers widely, making a gesture that was three inches long.
Pei Xingjian wanted to scold his mother, what kind of arrow was that shot in your head that could make such a long wound?
However, it is true that Liu Rengui was injured, and Pei Xingjian could only admit that he was unlucky...
After analyzing the situation, I was not very optimistic, but it shocked the Jiangnan nobles and the gains outweighed the losses.
Arranging another bad idea that was almost like a prank, Fang Jun said: "In three days, the navy will go south, and someone will also accompany the army."
Su Dingfang and others knew that Fang Jun wanted to avoid the coming storm...(End of Chapter)
