Dandere General and his Lord

The whole place was suddenly silent.

Cheng Qianye looked at the second person.

The man shivered as if he was swaying, and was dragged out of the crowd by the armored soldiers.

"Small, the villain confessed, the villain is Wan... Mrs. Wan, who is beside the late Marquis, arranged to come in. I called and asked about the master's situation, and passed it to her in private."

Cheng Qianye beckoned to Xiao Xiu: "Record it, check his residence, if there is no serious offense, hit twenty military sticks and drive out of the camp."

The rest of the people saw that they were going to splatter three feet of blood if they didn't replace them. Since they could really save their lives, they began to start tremblingly.

Some are spies arranged by other vassal states, and some are nails placed by noble families in Jin to inquire about news.

Cheng Qianye took the corresponding punishment, not a heinous person, and would not take human life easily.

A non-commissioned officer in the army was brought forward, and he knelt down and kowtowed: "The villain confessed, the villain was sent by Li Wenguang and was lurking in the army. The villain did nothing, please forgive me. The villain has a conspiracy. , but..."

He raised his head and glanced at the line of generals standing behind him, "The villain's accomplice is General Helanzhen."

The crowd suddenly exploded.

He Lanzhen was furious and almost rushed forward. Yu Dunsu held him back: "Brother Helan, don't be impulsive, the lord has his own discernment."

Helanzhen blushed and bowed her head: "Master Mingjian, this person and I have always had personal resentment.

Cheng Qianye looked at him and didn't speak for a while.

He Lanzhen was terrified. With so many spies caught today, the hearts of the people are panicking. If the lord does not believe in himself, it is normal.

He came from a noble family, and if he suffered such an innocent injustice and was driven out of the army, he would have nowhere to go.

Chapter 23

Cheng Qianye looked at He Lanzhen, the young general she brought up by herself.

Good martial arts, can lead troops.

It was easier to promote him than to promote Yu Dunsu, because he came from an aristocratic family.

But because of his background, he has a somewhat arrogant character and easily offends people, which is his shortcoming. Cheng Qianye felt that he could take the opportunity to wake him up.

"General Helan is someone I trust, and I won't let you suffer unjust injustice. I will definitely investigate this matter carefully, but for the sake of fairness and in order to restore your innocence, I will ask the general to be wronged for a few days."

Two soldiers stepped forward, cut He Lanzhen's arms, and tied him up.

"Master!" He Lanzhen didn't dare to resist, he raised his head in horror.

Cheng Qianye saw that he was indeed afraid, and he couldn't bear it. He helped him up with his own hands, and said with relief: "Don't worry, I will definitely find out the truth and correct your name."

She glanced at the crowd, her eyes stopped on Zhang Fu, she jumped over, and landed on Xiao Jin.

"I asked... Xiao Sikou to investigate your case in person, can you rest assured?"

Helanzhen looked grateful and lowered her head: "Thank you, my lord."

Cheng Qianye patted his shoulder and ordered someone to take him down.

After that, the more than 20 people who were taken to the front desk confessed their crimes one by one.

There was no one who was wronged. Viewers were all secretly shocked.

The further back they were, the less they dared to deny and deceive, and many of them couldn't figure out where they had leaked.

After Cheng Qianye dealt with these people and affairs, he stood up and looked around the audience.

All the civil and military officials put away their usual contempt and bowed their heads with some awe.

Go back to the council chamber of the mansion,

Cheng Qianye took the tea handed by Xiaoqiu, took two sips, sighed with relief, and put down the tea cup gently.

At this moment, only Xiao Jin and Zhang Fu were left in front of her.

Zhang Fu saluted slightly: "My lord really opened the eyes of the ministers and others today."

Since the dinner that day, Zhang Fu clearly felt Cheng Qianye's indifference to him. In several recent events, the lord not only did not let him participate, but did not even inform him at all.

He has always been conceited, and consciously has a strategy in his chest, and he can detect opportunities in everything.

In addition, after following the old Jinweihou for many years and having his own intelligence network, he is rarely as ignorant of the things around him as he is now.

The keen Zhang Fu felt that something was not right, and something seemed to be out of his control and was developing in an uncontrollable direction.

"Zhang Fu." Cheng Qianye looked directly at him, "Don't you have anything to say to me?"

"What do you mean, lord?" Zhang Fu, as always, said with a gentle smile, "Could it be that the lord is also suspicious of Wei Chen? Do you suspect Wei Chen is an enemy spy?"

"No, that's not what I meant." Cheng Qianye said bluntly, "What I want to say is that at the dinner party that day, you clearly knew that the food that Xiao Xiu handed over was poisonous, why didn't you tell me?"

Zhang Fu's masked face, always with a faint smile, finally froze.

The slightly long and narrow eyes on his white face narrowed slightly, pursed his lips tightly and did not speak.

His heart turned sharply, and he didn't know what went wrong. How could the lord know this?

At this moment, under Cheng Qianye's gaze, he rarely felt a little flustered.

Cheng Qianye opened his mouth: "My father once said that Duke Zhang's chest is a thousand and a half, and he is a talent. Since I took the throne, I have always admired and respected you, and I always hope that one day, you will be like helping my father.

Assist me, be my arm. "

"Now I know I was wrong! Although the master is talented, his heart is not with me, and it is useless to stay."

Zhang Fu knelt down on his knees, his face dignified, his masseter muscles tightened, "Please listen to the minister."

"You said." Cheng Qianye sat still.

"This minister never sees that the master is in danger, but sits and ignores it." Zhang Fu sorted out his thoughts, raised his head, and explained,

"A few days ago, the minister did notice that something was wrong with Xiao Xiu. I suspected that he was jealous because of the master's love for Mo Qiaosheng. I sent people to observe it secretly, and I saw that he had set up a ridiculous and crude trap. To frame Mo Qiao and give birth to that slave."

"But the minister thought that these internal disputes and jealousy were the private affairs of the lord, and the inferior position was a foreign minister, and it was inconvenient to intervene, so he did not say much. But if Xiao Xiu dared to give that poisonous thing to the lord. , the minister will definitely stop him, please don't misunderstand the loyalty of Wei Chen."

I see.

Cheng Qianye found that he heard another unexpected answer.

What she could see in her eyes were the immediate emotions of others. It is equivalent to directly seeing the results. As for the reasons for these results, there may be all kinds of strange things.

"It's not that you think it's inconvenient for you to take care of this." Cheng Qianye pointed at him, "but you want to test whether I have basic identification skills."

"Zhang Fu, I have no opinion on how you want to examine my abilities. But you shouldn't treat human life as nothing."

"If Xiao Xiu hadn't controlled the dose, the person who tried it would have died. But you looked at Xiao Xiu and handed it to my maid, but didn't say a word."

"You knew that Mo Qiaosheng was framed by someone, and I put him in jail, and maybe tortured him to death, but you were completely unmoved."

"In your eyes, maids and slaves are all lowly people, and one of their lives can be buried alive for your little test?"

Zhang Fu opened his mouth slightly. In his opinion, the lives of slaves are indeed worthless.

He just saw Cheng Qianye's decisive killing and blood splatter on the spot. But I didn't expect that the lord cares about this.

"I know that you regard them as ants. But I always have a heart of reverence for human life. This is the difference between you and me." Cheng Qianye showed disappointment, "If the way is different, we will not work together. Besides, you never really regarded me as your master in your heart."

She waved her hand and took a plate of gold and silver that Biyun held. Holding it in front of Zhang Fu with his own hands, he stretched out his hand to support Zhang Fu.

"With the talent of Duke Zhang, everyone in the world can go. Since Duke Zhang's heart is not with me. I will not leave you here. I am unreasonable about this matter, and I hope Duke Zhang will not be surprised."

Zhang Fu's complexion was ashen, his eyes showed a fierce look, he was silent for a moment, then he rolled his sleeves out.

Xiao Jin rushed in front of Cheng Qianye, clasped his fists with both hands, and said anxiously, "My lord!"

Cheng Qianye spread his hand at him, "What do you want to say? It's too late. I've said everything."

Xiao Jin hesitated for a moment, frowned tightly, and knelt in front of Cheng Qianye,

"My lord, please let me speak bluntly. Zhang Fu is a dragon and a phoenix among the people. If he is a minister, it is a blessing for me. If he is an enemy, it is a disaster for me."

He said solemnly, "If the lord can't tolerate him, don't let him leave lightly."

"Don't be impatient, he has done so many things for me Dajin, and it is considered a lot of hard work. You and I will go to see him off tomorrow morning." Cheng Qianye smiled and helped him up, blinking, "Maybe there are variables. "
