Chapter 3913 Tough attitude
"Hide? Who are you looking down on!"
Cheng Yaojin's eyes widened and he looked like he had been wronged. He yelled at the top of his voice: "We have been straightforward all our lives and have never played tricks. I don't know how much we have suffered for this. But we are still like that today. In this life It can’t be changed!”
Wang Shoushi had a headache. This was obviously off topic. Who cares about your character?
Besides, who knows that you are ranked second in the court for your generous reputation, and the second one is Fang Jun. You two are usually arrogant and domineering, and you have a shitty character!
He quickly changed the topic back: "Please also ask Mr. Lu to think carefully about whether he has seen that battle report and the details of the situation at that time."
Cheng Yaojin may seem rough and arrogant, but in fact he has a delicate mind. He is a typical example of someone who has a "pig-like face but a bright heart". As soon as he followed Wang Shoushi's words in his mind, he figured out the meaning.
He just took a look at the battle report and put it back where it belonged, but Li Ji told Wang Shoushi that the battle report was "suddenly stolen", which was obviously a trick to him...
He began to interrupt: "Excuse me, may I ask, does this mean that you suspect that I stole the Laoshizi battle report, so you came to question me?"
Wang Shoushi patiently forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, shook his head and said: "Of course not, it's just that the battle report is of great importance and was stolen for no reason, so our family needs to investigate clearly and ask Mr. Lu to tell the truth."
Cheng Yaojin nodded: "That means you don't suspect that I stole the battle report?"
Wang Shoushi: "Of course not."
"Oh, that's good."
Cheng Yaojin breathed a sigh of relief and patted his furry chest, looking relieved: "As long as you don't doubt me, then you can go, I don't know anything."
Wang Shoushi: "..."
Isn't it too shameless to act like a rogue?
He lowered his face and said coldly: "This matter is of great importance and has wide implications. I ask Duke Lu not to make any mistakes."
Cheng Yaojin's face straightened, and he immediately said seriously: "That day, the British Army was summoned for military affairs. When I went there, the British Army happened to go to the toilet, and a scribe came in with a battle report. I casually asked what the important matter was, and the scribe said It was the report of the Chang'an battle, so I didn't ask any more questions. When the British Duke came back, he was furious when he saw him sitting in the festival hall, saying that military discipline was strict and could not be enforced. Wow, I was not angry, so after a few words, I was kicked away... Is the theft of the battle report related to the British public? Come on, let me tell you, I think the British public is very suspicious of this matter, sir. I have long seen that he was dissatisfied. He was mysterious and sneaky all day long, so there must be something fishy, and it was even more inexplicable that he drove me away that day..."
Wang Shoushi said angrily: "Our family just came to hear the news, how can we doubt the British Lord?"
Cheng Yaojin laughed boldly: "You asked me this, but you still don't doubt the British Lord? Haha, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm not someone who talks ill of people behind their backs, and I will definitely not tell the British Lord about your suspicions today. That's peace of mind. He seems to be a gentle and steady man, but in fact he is full of bad intentions. If he notices that you are investigating him, you must be careful at all times, because he might shoot a cold arrow from the woods beside the road while walking. "
< br>
These words seemed to be nonsense and seemed to add insult to injury, but Wang Shoushi was horrified.
If the whole thing was really Li Ji's warning to Dong Gong and Fang Jun, then if he was investigating the battle report like this at the moment, maybe Li Ji would really kill someone and silence him...
If such a great man, who is a famous commander in the world, an honorable minister in the court, and the prime minister of the current court, and has a large number of soldiers, has evil intentions towards him, even if he is a mere servant, he will not be able to escape the murderous hand even if he is protected by dead soldiers.
Thinking in his heart, he said: "If what Lu Guogong said is true, it is best. Otherwise, I am afraid there will be serious consequences, which you cannot bear."
He felt that pressure should be put on Cheng Yaojin to stop talking nonsense.
But he had forgotten Cheng Yaojin's temper. How could a mere chamberlain threaten him?
"Hoo!"
Cheng Yaojin sneered and changed his face in an instant: "What a joke! I followed His Majesty to conquer the North and South, and made great achievements. Apart from Your Majesty and the laws of the country, who else dares to be arrogant in front of me? The king's servant is no more than an eunuch. Are those without eggs trying to imitate the likes of Zhang, Zhao, Xia and Guo, gain the title of permanent servant, control the court, and harm loyal people?”
"Zhang Zhao Xia Guo" refers to the eunuch group of Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Xia Yun, Guo Sheng and others during the reign of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, also known as the "Ten Constant Attendants". These eunuchs themselves levied excessive taxes and sold their official positions, while their fathers, brothers and sons spread all over the country and roamed the countryside, causing harm to the people and causing resentment in both the government and the public. They were regarded as examples of eunuchs' disorder in government.
Wang Shoushi's pale face became increasingly pale, and he stared at Cheng Yaojin with dark eyes. Before he could speak, he saw Cheng Yaojin move forward, leaning forward to meet his eyes, his eyes widened. The two elders said: "Why are you staring at me? Someone is here!"
"Hoola!"
The soldiers outside the tent swarmed in and surrounded Wang Shoushi with eager eyes. As soon as Cheng Yaojin gave the order, they cut the eunuch into pieces!
Cheng Yaojin became more and more arrogant. He looked at Wang Shoushi and shouted: "Don't accept it? Come on, come on, do you dare to say the words that threatened me just now? I will chop you into pieces and feed you to the dogs today. I scolded you for having no eggs. Is it true?" Is it wrong to scold me? If you really have eggs, then threaten me again. Before I chop you up, I will treat you as a person."
"呛啷"
The soldiers drew their knives in their hands one after another, the knives were shining brightly and filled with murderous intent.
Wang Shoushi was so angry that he almost went crazy. He was originally a personal servant to Emperor Gaozu, and later helped His Majesty Li Er seize the country and inherit the throne. He was trusted and respected by His Majesty Li Er. His status was so high. How could he have ever been humiliated like this?
But he clearly felt Cheng Yaojin's unabashed murderous intent. As long as he said the threat he just said seriously, this fool would dare to order him to be chopped into pieces...
Wang Shoushi nodded slightly, his face was so gloomy that he was about to drip. His rickety body seemed to be a little straighter. His fierce eyes were like poisonous snakes that choose people to eat. He stared at Cheng Yaojin for a long time, and finally suppressed his anger and said coldly. He said: "I also ask Mr. Lu not to forget the humiliation he has done to our family today. I will repay you tenfold in the future. I hope Mr. Lu will take good care of himself."
Cheng Yaojin raised his chin arrogantly: "Who are you trying to scare? You're just a eunuch relying on His Majesty's decree to pretend to be a tiger. If you dare to make any more noise, I will chop off your dog's head!"
As expected, Wang Shoushi didn't say anything anymore. He turned around and walked through the rows of horizontal knives and walked out of the tent.
The soldier looked at Wang Shoushi's back as he disappeared at the entrance of the tent, and asked Cheng Yaojin: "Commander, do you want to kill him or not?"
Cheng Yaojin was a little confused, shook his head, and sighed: "This eunuch is very good at forbearing, but he doesn't give us a chance to get angry... Kill me! Kill me!"
He raised his foot and kicked the soldier, and cursed: "You who have been fighting and killing all day long, can you get any results? I have to keep a close eye on all parts of the camp. This gelding has many dead soldiers. Everyone is a master, but don’t let me get my head cut off while I’m sleeping in a daze.”
He did have the intention to kill Wang Shoushi directly. This old castrated dog was like a poisonous snake. He relied on His Majesty's edict to stir up trouble and trouble. Sooner or later, he would be a disaster.
But after weighing the pros and cons, he still resisted taking action...
Thinking of the reason why Wang Shoushi came today, he couldn't help but spit hard, gritted his teeth and cursed: "Xu Maogong, this insidious villain, is simply not a son of a human being! Mother, if you want to deliver a message to the East Palace, just go and deliver it, but you keep me in the dark I took the blame for you, you damn girl!”
Li Ji deliberately placed the battle report in front of him, making sure that he would read it and inform Fang Jun. In this way, Li Ji's purpose of preserving the East Palace was achieved, but he passed the responsibility of reporting the news to him, and then he was targeted by Wang Shoushi...
Scratching his head irritably, he returned to the chair and sat down, thinking about the current situation.
Although he never belittled himself, he also realized that his wisdom was still far behind that of Li Ji, so he was manipulated by others.
But now that the matter has come to this, he is not afraid even if Wang Shoushi targets him. Just like he shouted at Wang Shoushi just now, who in the world can cure him? If His Majesty Li Er was here, he would drink it even if he was given a glass of wine. But now that His Majesty has passed away, the only thing that can cure him is the law of the country. But if there is no real evidence, what can the national law do?
He already knew the situation in Chang'an. Fang Er had never let him down. After receiving his information, he made a prompt decision. Without any hesitation, he mobilized his elite troops to capture Jinguangmen, turning the situation around in one fell swoop and forcing the Guanlongmen clan into a desperate situation.
From Li Ji's position, he must not want to see the entire Guanlong army annihilated. It will probably not take long before he breaks camp and sets off to command his troops in Chang'an.
Everything has come to an end. (End of chapter)
