Facing the shining steel knife, the group of craftsmen became more and more excited! Especially Lao Deng and Lao Jiang, they ignored the approaching knife tip and pressed forward angrily!
As craftsmen who rely on their craftsmanship, they don't care about the military department or the dog department!
Xiao Han has ideas! He has technology! Be good to them!
Then these people will recognize Xiao Han! They will work for him wholeheartedly!
Now, a random cat or dog comes and says that he wants to replace Xiao Han and take over this place?
Ah! Even if Ren Qing agrees to this, they won’t agree!
"Back off! My sword has no eyesight!" Seeing these craftsmen approaching step by step, the soldiers also changed their colors slightly, but the swords in their hands did not retreat at all, and were still facing the chests of those craftsmen!
Soon, the gleaming tip of the knife was pressed against the chests of Lao Deng and Lao Jiang!
Until then, Ren Qing, who had been deep in thought just now, suddenly lost his expression, and then suddenly raised his leg, only to hear two loud "bang bang" sounds.
The first two men with knives were like kites with broken strings, flying upside down! An arc was drawn in the air, hitting the steps they came up from, and almost rolled down the stone steps.
go!
"You dare to take action?"
Ren Qing's feet are so fast!
It was so fast that the others didn't react at all. It wasn't until the steel knife fell to the ground that they suddenly woke up! Without even bothering to look at the two of them, the others all held knives and subconsciously aimed at Ren Qing!
"Put down the knife!" Among the crowd, only the school captain knew Ren Qing's identity! Seeing his men surrounding him and trying to cut him, his blood ran cold in an instant! He hurriedly roared!
"Put down the knife?"
Hearing the roar, a group of soldiers were stunned. They held their knives, looked at Ren Qing, and then looked back at the captain. For a moment, they didn't know what to do.
"lay down!"
Seeing this, the captain roared to his subordinates again, and after his subordinates put down their swords, he took a step forward, cupped his hands and clasped his fists at Ren Qing: "Brother, we are also following orders, please don't make it difficult for us.
"
"General Ren! Don't listen to him, are you taking orders? Whose orders are they taking? Apart from His Majesty and Xiao Hou, who here is qualified to give orders!" Before Ren Qing had time to speak, Lao Deng pointed at the colonel angrily again.
The captain yelled, and at the same time, the other craftsmen also pointed at the captain and yelled with indignation,
Listening to the shouts and curses, the captain, who was already annoyed at being questioned by these low-level craftsmen, became even more angry. He did not dare to get angry with Ren Qing, but towards Lao Deng and the others, he
It's without any scruples.
"By the order of the Ministry of War! By the order of the imperial court! This is the imperial court's place, not a certain person's. Old man, I advise you not to get into trouble, so as to save yourself the trouble and implicate others!" Gritting his teeth, the captain said
He coldly said something to Lao Deng, and before Lao Deng could reply, he handed over to Ren Qing again: "Brother, you also know that Xiao Hou is banned now, and he has lost the divine grace! This kind of
In an important place, the imperial court will definitely not allow him to be controlled by one person. Taking back all the military headquarters is a matter of time and it is also a matter of rules! Please forgive me, brother!"
"Xiao Han has lost His grace?" Ren Qing's expression was originally expressionless, but until he heard this sentence, his stiff face relaxed a little! It was as if he wanted to laugh, but couldn't.
What a joke! How important Xiao Han is in Li Shimin's heart, there are few people in the world who know it better than Ren Qing!
These people still think that a simple grounding is a sign that he has lost his holy grace? That they can come and invade this vital place?
So if they saw Xiao Han and His Majesty getting drunk and fighting over a bite to eat, wouldn't they think that Xiao Han would be quartered by five horses tomorrow?
"What did you say……"
"Grounded? Xiao Hou just won the battle, how can he be grounded? It must be nonsense like you, a dog official!"
The crowd of craftsmen behind him was so excited that Ren Qing only found it funny. However, thinking of Xiao Han's letter, he still took a long breath, waved his hand to stop the craftsmen from shouting, and said to the captain with his eyes like a torch: "What do you mean?
Is this a rule? According to the rules, after receiving this transfer order from you, should we leave here immediately? "
"ah?"
"General Ren!"
"No! This is what the Marquis left to us. We must guard this place until our death!"
As soon as Ren Qing said these words, all the craftsmen changed their colors, and Lao Jiang and others even shouted out.
However, Ren Qing just waved his hands at them and continued to look at the captain and said: "What about these craftsmen? What should they do?"
"Brother, do you agree?"
The captain probably didn't expect that at the critical moment, this matter would take a turn for the worse!
Stunned, he nodded quickly: "Logically speaking, after receiving the transfer order, we should be responsible for receiving it here, but our people have not arrived yet. Brother, you can stay a few more days to pack your bags! As for these craftsmen... they
You are from here, but you can’t escape!”
Pack your bags!
This is an official term, specifically used when a new official takes office but the old official remains.
Generally speaking, in addition to dismissal and investigation, before a new official takes over the duties of his predecessor, he must allow more or less time to allow his predecessor to clean up some gold and silver and settle the accounts of his tenure.
Although this workshop is located in the suburbs and is usually deserted, the captain vaguely knows that countless money is consumed here every year! There are even rumors that the loss here in one year is greater than that of the other sixteen guards put together.
Much higher!
The captain, who knew nothing about research, naturally did not know that the money was actually used for various research inventions.
He just thought that most of the money was taken away by Xiao Han. Otherwise, where would Xiao Han's reputation of not being short of money come from?
And since Xiao Han is greedy for money, it's not surprising that people like Ren Qing plucked their hair and took some away.
Giving him time to clean up is enough to show your understanding!
"No need! I can leave at any time!"
However, Ren Qing did not show any gratitude at all for the unspoken rules of the school captain's officialdom. He just said something plainly, then turned around and said to the astonished craftsman: "Masters, what this person said is correct.
This is not the place where Xiao Han's family belongs, but belongs to the entire Tang Dynasty Military Department! Before this, Xiao Han also sent a letter saying that everything should be done according to the rules. Since they accept it according to the rules, we will not give it to them anymore.
On the contrary, it makes it difficult for Xiao Han!"
"Did you receive a letter from Marquis Xiao?"
"What! He really said that? Are you lying to us?"
"Impossible. Xiao Hou has such a good relationship with His Majesty, how could he suddenly... lose power?"
Although the craftsmen present are upright by nature, they are not stupid! In addition, many of them have the experience of serving as prison guards before. Regarding the promotion and demotion of officials, even if they have never eaten pork, they have seen pigs run away!
When Ren Qing said this, he thought that Xiao Han had really lost his power, and everyone was dumbfounded, as if they were mourning for an heir.
