Chapter 904: The desperate general and the crazy prefect
In the military camp on the side of Zhongliang Mountain, Shen Tang was sitting upright. Opposite him was Chen Xinbo, who looked decadent!
The two have been sitting opposite each other for a long time. Shen Tang did not speak, and Chen Xinbo remained silent!
Soon, the pot of tea was gone! Shen Tang sighed softly and finally filled two teacups!
Chen Xinbo was stunned for a moment, then gave a wry smile, picked up the tea and drank it all in one gulp! Then, he stood up and saluted respectfully, "My lord, I will take my leave!"
He turned around and walked towards the outside of the military tent step by step.
"You are also involved in this matter! Go back and write down the evidence of Fan Anhe's participation that you can provide! In addition, thank you for the reminder in your military camp! Your mother, wife and children, I will personally Arrange for people to send them back to your hometown to support them! The officialdom is dark, so let them be rich men for the rest of their lives!"
"If there is a next life, remember to be a good official!"
Hearing Shen Tang's voice, Chen Xinbo stopped in his tracks! After a long while, he said in a solemn voice, "Thank you, sir!"
After stepping out of the camp, he turned around and bowed seriously in the direction of Shen Tang. "If there is another life, I would like to be your servant! It's a pity that I couldn't get to know you earlier..."
After that, he stood up, and the soldiers who had been waiting for him came forward and directly detained him and walked toward the rear! After all, he was just a military commander and did not have any privileges as a civilian official.
Therefore, he is not even qualified to be assigned. If he goes, he will only die! Do you regret it?
There must be! However, what should be relieved is also relieved! Maybe, there is also a bit of relief, who knows...
Not long after Chen Xinbo left, another figure appeared outside Shen Tang's tent!
Come, Fan Anhe!
It's just that in less than half a day, Fan Anhe seemed to have aged more than ten years! His face was haggard, and he, who had always paid attention to his manners, now looked a bit embarrassed in his official uniform! His eyes were a little dull, and his mouth was Breathing out the strong smell of alcohol! From the appearance of Huang Wenshan's terrifying cavalry and the arrival of Kuang Tong, he knew that he was completely defeated and had no turning cards.
He knows his consequences very well! Even though, up to now, Shen Tang has not announced his crime, even though, he is still the aloof prefect of Xingyuan Prefecture!
He didn't know why he ended up here. Maybe he wanted to meet Shen Tang! As for whether he was admitting his mistake or begging for mercy, or whether it was the madness before the collapse, he himself didn't know...
"Lord Fan!"
The guard at the door spoke coldly and stood in front of him!
Fan Anhe shook his head vigorously to wake himself up a little, "Is Mr. Shen here?"
"Let Mr. Fan come in!"
Inside the military tent, Shen Tang's voice slowly came out! The guard sneered, turned around and stood in front of the door, completely ignoring Fan Anhe's intention.
These personal guards were not fools. Although they did not know the inside story of the matter, they basically guessed that it was closely related to Fan Anhe! They did not directly draw the sword and kill Fan Anhe because they were afraid of causing trouble to Shen Tang. But it's not that they dare not take action.
Fan Anhe staggered forward two steps, opened the curtain and entered the military tent!
Go straight forward and sit across from Shen Tang!
Looking at the empty teacup and the already full teapot in front of him, Fan Anhe grinned, "It seems that the official came late and couldn't even drink the tea!"
Shen Tang didn't say anything, just looked at him calmly!
"Master Shen, do you hate me now? You want to kill me directly..." Fan Anhe said to himself while breathing heavily.
Shen Tang smiled and shook his head, "Do you think you are worthy of being hated by me?
I'm just acting out a play with you! If I didn't want to, some things wouldn't happen at all! Don't you know that Huang Wenshan's troops were among the chaotic people! Besides, do you think I, Shen Tang Are they those scholarly officials?
Hundreds of thousands of Tibetan soldiers and horses can't kill me, Shen Tang, so why should you, Fan Anhe?
Is it by those chaotic people or by the thousands of soldiers and horses in Chen Xinbo’s hands?”
Fan Anhe was stunned, and after a long while he shook his head bitterly, "Yes, you, Mr. Shen, have never been different from us! It turns out that in Mr. Shen's eyes, I am just a fly!"
"Master Shen, you are a saint. You love the people like your own children. You don't need to take bribes. You have outstanding military exploits! However, since all this could not have happened, you still watched it happen! Your personal guards were killed and injured, and the people were killed and injured. Bai, how much better are you, Shen Tang, than I, Fan Anhe?
Haven't these people died in your hands?"
Hearing this, Shen Tang smiled lightly and said, "Since you want to hear it, I will give you an explanation!"
"In this matter, from beginning to end, the people were not wrong.
However, even so, not everything can be done! It does not mean that there is no sin without mistakes! Therefore, I need to use these lives to give these people a lesson and a memory! Let them know that there are some things that cannot be done easily. .
If you do it, even if it’s not wrong, you still need to be punished!”
"Secondly, in addition to Zhongliang Mountain, I need to deal with the refugees in Dingjun Mountain as soon as possible! Kindness and power are king! Most people are kind, but this does not mean that there are no treacherous people among them! If, at this time, I am lighthearted If he is let go, the refugees in Dingjun Mountain will put forward more stringent conditions.
At that time, whether I agree or not, it will be even more troublesome! Or even cause even greater trouble!"
"Finally, the court needs an explanation! Your Majesty and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty also need a result! I, Shen Tang, have never been a saint! You have to know that when turbidity becomes the norm, innocence is a mistake! I need some mistakes, I need some reasons to let others and your majesty feel more at ease with me! No one wants their colleagues to be saints, and no one wants their ministers to be saints!"
"You...do you understand!"
Fan Anhe was shocked when he heard this. He looked at Shen Tang again and even looked a little frightened.
Suddenly, he raised his head and laughed, "The Duke of Zhou is afraid of the day of rumors, but Wang Mang is humble and has not usurped the throne! I underestimated you, Shen Tang..."
Shen Tang shook his head slightly, "I don't know how to be Wang Mang.
However, I will never be Yue Wumu! I, Shen Tang, have my own path to follow!"
"Hahaha!"
Fan Anhe pointed at Shen Tang and laughed wildly, "I will watch you in hell, wait for you, and see what kind of fate you, Shen Tang, will have! How much better than I, Fan An, will be reconciled!"
A sudden movement in the military tent caused the guards at the door to break in! The guards wanted to step forward and capture Fan Anhe, but Shen Tang waved his hand. He looked at Fan An and Youyou and said, "Don't worry. Although I, Shen Tang, am not a saint.
But, I can’t get to the region! You...can’t wait any longer!”
Fan Anhe still laughed wildly and staggered away from Shen Tang's tent...
