Chapter 647: Deception

Mao Chengming walked out of the hall, and the pale autumn sun shone out, making him a little dizzy.

He didn't understand why he agreed to Zhou Xian so easily? Is it Zhuge Xuan's hexagram, or was it the confidence that Zhou Xian showed that completely shocked him?

He admitted that Zhou Xian was indeed capable, otherwise he would not have quickly found loopholes from the complicated list. But if he wanted to thoroughly investigate the Beijing camp, he would offend not only Xue Lian, the chief general of the Shenshu camp, but also a large number of servants who flew into the Beijing camp, and countless marquis and uncles who used the soldiers to do their own things for him.

If you are not careful at that time, you will end up in pieces, and you will really follow him and go all the way to the darkness.

Mao Chengming sighed silently, not knowing whether it was right or wrong to make a choice so quickly, but at the moment he seemed to have no other better choice. He could only comfort himself in his heart and let's take a look first!

Seeing Mao Chengming walk out of the hall, the others immediately rushed up and asked about the incident.

Mao Chengming frowned and said, "The incident of taking empty wages was discovered by Lord Zhou. The youngest person on the list he provided was seventy years old. Most of them have died for decades, and it is impossible to find them."

Bian Dusi asked, "Then how did you answer him?"

"How do you answer? Of course, I insisted that they were just taking leave and not in the camp for the time being. Did I tell him that we had been eating empty wages for decades, and that wasn't that asking for death?"

"Did Lord Zhou believe that?"

"There is a ghost in faith!" Mao Chengming glanced at Bian Dusi with dissatisfaction. "How could such obvious lies be deceived by him? But I am the deputy general of Shenshu Camp and the only chief officer in the camp now. What about him? But I did this and completely angered him. Next, he will definitely ask you, remember, everyone will say this to me. Who dares to reveal the words to me? Even if I am willing to spare you, Mr. Xue and Mr. Wang will not spare you."

Everyone responded quickly: "Don't worry, Deputy General Mao! Our Shenshu Camp is in one mind. Zhou Xian, a child with a hair that has not grown all over yet, can he do anything to us?"

At this time, Zhang Huai walked out of the hall and said to everyone: "Who are Bian Changmeng? My master is invited."

Bian Dusi tidied up his clothes and bowed to Zhang Huai, "Below is Bian Changmeng."

Zhang Huai nodded and said, "Then come with me!"

"Biandusi, you are an old man from Shenshu Camp. You have served as the Dusi since Chongzhen for ten years and are very familiar with everything in the camp. This time, this official is ordered to check the number of people in the Beijing Camp. I hope you can help more."

"You are kind to you. If you have any instructions, please give me your best. I will help you with all my strength."

Zhou Xian nodded and said, "Since that's the case, is there anything Du Sike wants to tell me?"

Bian Dusi was stunned for a moment and asked tentatively: "What do you want to know by sir?"

Zhou Xian smiled and said, "Anything is fine, as long as Biandusi is willing to say it. For example, how many soldiers are there in Jingying, how long has Mr. Xue not been to Jingying, and you have worked together to earn empty salary for so many years, how much Biandusi has greedy, etc. I want to know all of these."

Bian Dusi's face turned red and he argued: "Sir, you are slandering. The officials have always been honest and never did anything greedy."

Zhou Xian smiled faintly and said, "I don't know whether you have done it, but the other generals in the camp are clear. If you don't want to say it now, I won't ask more questions. But what I want to remind you is that I am giving you a chance. After today, I will never ask you a little more. As for what will be waiting for Bian Dusi in the future, you can think about it in advance."

Bian Dusi's face was gloomy and silent.

Zhou Xian didn't force him, and slowly drank the tea, saying, "There are so many generals in the Jing camp, Biandushi, don't you really think you will be completely united! As long as one or two of them are willing to say, I can ask everything I want to know. The Beijing camp is now open. I just want to hand over a total of the number to Your Majesty and find a few short-lived ghosts to calm Your Majesty's anger. If Biandushi wants to be one of them, I don't mind giving you a promise. Ruru, Biandushi still feels that he has nothing to say, so go out after drinking this cup of tea!"

The water from Biandusi's tea bowl was trembling a little. After a while, he made up his mind and said to Zhou Xian: "Master Zhou, the villain did get a free salary, but it was all forced by Shangguan. If I didn't take it, they would think that I was not the same as them. Moreover, it was not only me who did this, but there were all generals of all sizes in the Beijing camp, but the number of people they took was different."

Zhou Xian nodded and said, "I know, and I don't intend to blame you for this. I just want to determine whether you will tell me the truth. This will ultimately determine which short-lived ghosts I send to see the King of Hell."

Bian Dusi said quickly: "Please rest assured, if you want to know, just ask me what you want, I will definitely speak out. Just ask me not to record the words of my subordinates on the case. After all, the officials are just Dusi, and I dare not offend those marquis and uncles easily."

Zhou Xian smiled and pointed at him and said, "Bian Dusi, you are really a slippery person. But look, are there anyone else here besides you and me? Today's words are only you and me. Next, tell me about the relationship between the generals of the Shenshu Camp, their personalities, and who can be used. And I promise you that this storm will definitely not involve you at all."

Zhou Xian looked at General Bao Shen who had already drunk two large bowls of tea and said, "General Bao Shen, are you really sure you have nothing to say to me?"

General Bao Shen smiled and said, "Sir, the young general is just a job, and everything is based on the leader of Mr. Xue. If you want to know anything, you can ask him, there is no need to waste your efforts on the young person."

Zhou Xian nodded and said, "You said that, okay! You go out!"

General Bao Shen stood up with a little pride and walked out.

"Slow down!"

General Bao Shen turned his head and asked, "Sir, do you have anything else?"

Zhou Xian stood up and smiled and said, "I'll take you out."

Zhou Xian stepped forward and grabbed General Bao Shen's hand, walked out together. Outside the hall, the generals of the Shenshu Camp could see, stood with him, smiling strongly, and enthusiastically said nonsense about Xiao Ban Xiang.

When General Bao Shen returned, all the generals of Shenshu Camp looked at him with no kindness.

General Bao Shen was stunned and asked, "What's wrong with you!"

Deputy General Mao first attacked, "Bao Xu, what did you say to Lord Zhou?"

General Bao Shen suddenly woke up and stretched out his right hand and said, "I..., I didn't say anything, I swear, I swear."
