In the public room, Mou Bin and Zhang Yanling also calmed down. In fact, both of them knew in their hearts that such a quarrel was meaningless, and mutual intimidation could not scare the other. Although they no longer liked each other in their hearts, they
If it really gets out of hand, it will be of no benefit to both parties.
Mou Bin slowly sat down, picked up the tea cup in front of him, took a few sips, and said in a deep voice: "Master Zhang Hou, you and I don't have to be like this. Mou and you Zhang Hou Ye have no enmity at all, and I have no intention of enmity with you. But there are some
Mou Mou did it under orders and did not intentionally target you. I hope you can understand this."
Zhang Yanling also sat down slowly, nodded and said: "Mr. Mou, I understand your difficulties, and you should also consider my feelings. Only in this way can you and I reach a consensus, and we will not be in a dead end. There are some things that you, Mr. Mou, can work around.
There's a lot, so there's no need for you to keep an eye on it. With all due respect, even if you were asked to check, you wouldn't be able to find out the results. At most, it's just hearsay and random speculation without any solid evidence."
Mou Bin frowned and said nothing in thought.
Zhang Yanling said: "Mr. Mou, although you are a close minister of the emperor, you must abide by one principle. The affairs of the palace are not your concern. The more you know, the more disadvantageous it will be to you. If I were you, I would
If you turn a blind eye, you will never investigate these things seriously. I can even give you a lowdown, the truth is not what you think. Even if you find out the truth, you will find that it will make you feel guilty.
I have fallen into an embarrassing situation, which is not good for you. I hope Mr. Mou can understand what I say. Moreover, before I took office, I told Mr. Mou clearly that Jinyiwei Yamen is not the place I want to stay. If you think that I am here
In order to replace anyone, that is completely wrong. Don't judge a gentleman with a villain's heart. When the time comes, I will leave here. I will say this, please make your own decision, Lord Mou."
Mou Bin pondered for a moment, then said: "That's it, the matter is over, and it will do no good to you or me to continue the quarrel. This matter is over, I promise you, from now on, you and I will live in peace and not disturb each other. But I hope Hou
I also made a promise to me, two years
Within a few days, the Marquis must leave our Jinyiwei Yamen. I don’t want a master to live in the Jinyiwei Yamen, and I don’t want your presence to put me in an awkward position in the Jinyiwei Yamen. I am also very frank. Is the Marquis willing?
promise."
Zhang Yanling smiled and nodded: "In less than two years, I will leave here. Lord Mou, you can rest assured."
Mou Bin stretched out his palm and said: "Okay, a gentleman's words are hard to follow. Let's put our hands together and swear an oath. Anyone who violates what we say today will die without a burial place."
Zhang Yanling smiled and slowly stretched out his palm to press Mou Bin's thick palm, but the moment the palms came together, he stopped again.
"Master Mou, I am of course relieved by your words, but I would like to remind you that you should restrain your people, such as Shen Liang. If he continues to go against me, what will you say?" Zhang Yanling said solemnly.
"Hahaha, don't worry, he dares to disobey my orders? Even if he had ten more courages, he wouldn't dare. I will tell him later that he is not allowed to make any more changes, and that he should keep his tail between his legs in the yamen. You can
Don't worry." Mou Bin smiled.
Zhang Yanling nodded and said: "Very good, I will believe you. However, if I find out that someone else is doing something sneaky, don't blame me for being ruthless. If something goes wrong, Mr. Mou can't blame me either."
."
Mou Bin shouted: "Do you want to clasp your palms together? Don't think I'm begging you."
Zhang Yanling laughed, reached out and struck Mou Bin on the palm.
…
After Mou Bin left with his men, Chen Shiyi couldn't wait to rush in. Something was wrong with Chen Shiyi's eyes when he looked at Zhang Yanling.
"Sir, are you just going to break up with him?"
Zhang Yanling smiled and said: "What? Are you still polite?"
Chen Shiyi smacked his lips and said, "My lord, your courage is admirable. You are the first person I have seen in my humble position who dares to challenge Mou Bin."
Zhang Yanling said with a smile: "This doesn't seem to be something to be proud of."
Chen Shiyi shook his head and said: "I'm afraid you don't know how cruel Mou Bin is. There have been rumors in the yamen for a long time that no one who offends Mou Bin will have a good end. In the early years, Li Anzhong, the commander of the general yamen, insulted Mou Bin in person because of trivial matters.
, he was found dead in a brothel not long after, and he didn’t even have a good reputation before he died.”
Zhang Yanling said with a smile: "When you say that, I feel a little scared in my heart."
Chen Shiyi said in a deep voice: "My lord, I am not joking about being humble. You should be careful. From today on, I will never leave your side."
Zhang Yanling smiled and said: "It doesn't have to be like this."
Chen Shi shook his head and said: "It must be like this. Please don't take it lightly."
Zhang Yanling thought for a while and nodded: "That's all, I'll just listen to you, although I'm not worried."
Chen Shiyi said: "It is essential to be on guard against others. You are extremely courageous, and you know your humble position, but it is always good to be prepared."
Zhang Yanling nodded and said: "That's right. But Chen Baihu, I must remind you that you should pay attention to restraining your emotions. Today, when Mou Bin entered the door, you stared at him fiercely, did you want to find an opportunity to kill him with a knife?
No matter how much hatred you have in your heart, you can't show it too obviously, otherwise it will be counterproductive."
Chen Shiyi gritted his teeth and said, "I wish I could kill him with one knife. Unfortunately, I can't do it. The personal guards around him are all masters, and they are all staring at me."
Zhang Yanling said in a deep voice: "As long as you understand. I can understand the desire for revenge, but it is unwise to involve yourself if revenge fails."
Chen Shi nodded in agreement and asked in a low voice: "Have you reached an agreement with Mou Bin?"
Zhang Yanling nodded and said: "Yes, he promised not to trouble me secretly, and I also promised him not to cause trouble in the Yamen."
Chen Shiyi frowned and said, "Do you believe what he says?"
Zhang Yanling smiled and said: "I believe it, but I don't believe it entirely."
Chen Shi asked: "If you don't fully believe it, why did you reach an agreement with him?"
Zhang Yanling said with a smile: "What if we really want to break up and lose both sides? If we really make a fuss, no one will benefit."
Chen Shi said: "How can he explain to the emperor? According to what the emperor said, the emperor ordered him to secretly investigate the emperor, and he must have a reply. Based on this alone, I don't believe him. He can't explain to the emperor."
Zhang Yanling shook his head and said: "You are wrong. The emperor is the best one to explain. Mou Bin has ten thousand ways to fabricate lies to deal with the emperor. The rare thing is how he appeases Shen Liang. Shen Liang is also an insider, and starting from today,
How can he gain a foothold in our Nanzhen Fusi Yamen? How can he stop?"
"Shen Liang? Your Excellency, you are saying that this guy will not let go?" Chen Shi asked.
"The King of Hell is easy to meet, but the devil is difficult to deal with. Mou Bin knows the importance, but Shen Liang may not know the importance. But that is a headache for Mou Bin. If he can't restrain Shen Liang, then I will discipline this guy for him. It doesn't matter at first.
But Shen Liang knows too many things, and if he doesn't stop, something bad will happen sooner or later." Zhang Yanling said solemnly.
Chen Shiyi frowned and thought for a while and said, "What the Lord said is true. Hey, the Lord said that Mou Bin would come to pick him up after a while, and sure enough, Mou Bin came. Your Lord is really a clever plan."
Zhang Yanling chuckled and said: "That's not a magical plan, it's just a very simple inference. I took Liang Chun and Qian Baichuan and announced their crimes. Who is the person I'm most afraid of? Isn't it Shen Liang? Shen Liang's subordinates Doesn’t Shen Liang not know that hundreds of households have been deducted from their wages and deducted their wages? Shen Liang has deducted and deducted more money, but I have not announced it. Shen Liang is worried that Liang Chun and Qian Baichuan will betray him by talking nonsense, but he himself cannot To fish for people, so I immediately asked Mou Bin to fish for people. That’s why Mou Bin rushed here so quickly. The purpose of his coming is to fish for people."
Chen Shi nodded and said, "So that's it. It's really an advantage to these two idiots, Liang Chun and Qian Baichuan."
Zhang Yanling said in a deep voice: "You gave them an advantage? Brother Chen, do you really think so?"
Chen Shi thought for a while and suddenly said in shock: "Sir, are you saying... Liang Chun and Qian Baichuan are dead?"
Zhang Yanling nodded slightly and said: "I have announced the evidence and crimes of these two people in public. Keeping them will be troublesome in the future. If nothing happens, Liang Chun and Qian Baichuan will never come out after they arrive in Beizhen Fusi." Dead. Dead. Once they die, they will give an explanation to the people who know the matter, and the case will be closed."
Chen Shi laughed and said, "These two mangy dogs must have themselves to blame for what happened."
Zhang Yanling said: "It is not a pity that these two died, but there is nothing to say. Chen Baihu, let's take a rest during this period and see what's going on. It's best to live in peace and quiet. I just want to live my life peacefully."
Chen Shiyi smiled and said: "I obey my orders. I think that in this Fusi Yamen in Nanzhen, no one will dare to be disrespectful to you anymore. I'm afraid Shen Liang will become a grandson."
