"What?" Shen Liang remained frozen in a half-crouched position with a shocked expression.
Everyone in the room was frozen as if they had been cast a immobilization spell, staring blankly at Mr. Zhenfu. Mr. Zhenfu was still smiling, but the smile on his face was already a sneer.
"Lord Zhenfu, what do you mean by this?" Shen Liang slowly stood up straight and asked.
"Shen Qianhu, you have been in Jinyiwei Yamen for many years, don't you understand the rules? In front of the Shangguan, you can only sit if the Shangguan allows you to sit. Do you understand?" Zhang Yanling said solemnly.
Shen Liang was stunned for a moment and suddenly laughed, cupped his hands and said: "Then, Lord Zhenfu, I humbly request to take a seat. I wonder if Lord Zhenfu will allow it?"
Liang Chun, Qian Baichuan and others started laughing.
Zhang Yanling smiled and said: "That's true. Shen Qianhu, please sit down."
Shen Liang laughed loudly, with a look of contempt on his face. He thought to himself: It's really a joke for you to put up such a show with me. I'm sorry you don't dare to do anything to me.
When Shen Liang coughed, he lifted up the front of his fish suit and sat down. Chen Shiyi, who was standing next to him, suddenly raised his foot and made a click, and the chair flew to the side. Thanks to Shen Liang's quick reaction, he straightened his back immediately. He stood up and didn't sit down on the ground.
"Chen Shiyi, what are you doing?" Shen Liang shouted angrily.
Liang Chun, Qian Baichuan and others also scolded angrily: "Chen Shiyi, what do you want to do?"
Before Chen Shiyi could answer, Zhang Yanling burst into laughter.
"Shen Liang, you really should sit down. There is no place for you to sit here today."
"Lord Zhenfu, what do you mean? Are you making fun of a humble position?" Shen Liang shouted coldly.
Zhang Yanling sneered and said: "Shen Qianhu, can't you bear the anger? No wonder, in this Nanzhen Fusi Yamen, you, Shen Qianhu, have never been angry like this, right? You have never been angry like this, so you will be angry today, right?" Just bear with me. Otherwise, don't blame me for not giving you face."
Shen Liang sneered and said: "Since the governor does not welcome me today, I can just leave. Brothers, let's go!"
Liang Chun, Qian Baihu and several other hundreds of households stood up and said loudly: "Let's go, let's go, what are you pretending to be? Why are you pretending to be a grandson?"
Shen Liang took long strides and walked towards the door. However, Zhang Yanling sneered and shouted: "Chen Baihu, you haven't closed the door yet!"
Chen Shiyi promised loudly and took out his bamboo whistle and blew it. In an instant, dozens of armed guards with swords unsheathed poured into the house from both sides of the porch. Then the doors and windows banged, and the door was closed. , the long window was closed, and all the guards guarded the door and the long window with shining weapons.
All the royal guards in the room were at a loss and were stunned. The air in the dim hall suddenly solidified.
"What do you mean? What is Master Zhenfu going to do?" Shen Liang sneered.
"Did I let you go? Shen Qianhu, are you the governor of this government office or the governor of this office? What did I say just now? You can only sit if the Shangguan allows you to sit, and you can leave only if the Shangguan allows you to leave. You You just walked away, do you still have your eyes on me?" Zhang Yanling shouted coldly.
Shen Liang sneered. He understood that today's meeting was not an ordinary meeting. It was obviously aimed at him. Zhang Yanling was deliberately looking for trouble on himself.
Looking at the guards with their swords unsheathed at the long window at the door, Shen Liang's hand touched the handle of the knife at his waist. He was not afraid. At least half of the people in the room were following him, and the rest were also He was afraid of himself. Zhang Yanling wanted to do harm to him, but he was not afraid. Moreover, Zhang Yin sitting next to Zhang Yanling was one of his own, so he would not dare not help him in a fight. If he really wanted to fight, Zhang Yanling would be looking for death.
However, it seems that this is not necessary at the moment. Zhang Yanling is just looking for trouble, and of course she will not fight with him. Zhang Yanling's status is not easy to mess with. If she openly turns against him, it will not be easy to deal with later.
"Master Zhenfu, I don't know where my humble position offended you. Why do I have to make a fuss about these trivial etiquettes? It's so tense. Could it be that I have to take my humble position because of such a trivial matter? Even in front of Commander Mou, I didn't There are so many rules." Shen Liang said coldly.
Zhang Yanling chuckled and said: "I knew you were going to use Commander Mou's name to speak out. But even if Commander Mou is here, I still have the right to ask you to abide by the rules. If Commander Mou didn't teach you, I will teach you." Teach you."
Shen Liang laughed and said: "Master Zhenfu, it turns out you want to show off your authority."
Zhang Yanling scolded: "Do I need to show off my authority in front of you? The officers and soldiers of the Jinyi Guards have military discipline, and I am teaching you to observe military discipline."
Shen Liang chuckled and said, "Just because of what you did just now, is it because you didn't observe military discipline?"
Zhang Yanling shouted coldly: "Of course not. I ordered you to come to the meeting at the right time, but you guys deliberately delayed it and didn't arrive until half past the time. Our Jinyiwei Yamen is an army, and the orders from the superior officers are military orders. Military orders are like mountains, how can we be ignored. This If we were fighting on the battlefield and the leader delayed for half an hour and did not carry out the orders of the superior officer, I am afraid that the battle would have been lost, the entire army would be defeated, and there would be countless casualties. That would be punishable by beheading. As for contempt of the superior officer, it would still be a misdemeanor."
Shen Liang was stunned. It turned out that Zhang Yanling came late because of himself. Indeed, he came late deliberately with Liang Chun and others, but he did not intend to give Zhang Yanling face. But Zhang Yanling took this matter to such a high level, It's obviously a big accusation. How could Shen Liang agree?
"Zhang Zhenfu, we are indeed late, but what you said is too exaggerated. This is not on the battlefield. What are you saying about delaying military aircraft and neglecting military orders? Besides, I have to go out to the Yamen to do some business. , I didn’t come late on purpose. Even if I came late, it’s just that I was late for this meeting for some reason, but there is no need to slap us with a big label. I can’t bear a humble position. In broad daylight, the world is bright, even if you, the governor, are a superior, But you can't accuse us of such unreasonable charges so casually." Shen Liang said loudly.
Zhang Yanling nodded and said in a deep voice: "That's right. But is it true that you neglected Shangguan's order? Is it true that you were half an hour late?"
Shen Liang snorted and didn't answer.
Zhang Yanling shouted: "That's acquiescence. Anyone who comes will be given ten hard sticks on each person as punishment."
Chen Shiyi promised loudly and waved his hand, and Zhao Yuancheng came forward with seven or eight personal guards holding black and thick jujube sticks.
Shen Liang's face was livid, his hand was holding the handle of the knife tightly, and his expression was cold. He was thinking about whether to take action. But when he saw Zhang Yanling looking at him with a smile, Chen Shiyi was also holding the handle of the knife and looking at him. While laughing, Shen Liang suddenly realized that they were actually waiting for him to resist, so that they could justifiably kill him.
They came prepared, just to anger themselves. It seems not worth it to fall out and fight for these ten sticks. It is only right to endure this momentary humiliation and find the situation again. Mou Bin will definitely not sit idly by.
"Get down!" Zhao Yuancheng glared at Shen Liang and shouted.
Shen Liang glared at Zhao Yuancheng fiercely. Zhao Yuancheng scolded: "What are you looking at? I told you to lie down and get a stick. Are you swatting flies in your ears?"
Shen Liangang cursed angrily and slowly lay down on a stool.
Liang Chun, Qian Baichuan and several other hundred households saw Shen Liang surrendering and helplessly lay down on the bench.
