Chapter 120 If I have something to say, I will say it to my face
The noise in the house suddenly started and disappeared suddenly.
It rose because the young man raised his arms and shouted, and it died because the young man raised his hands and waved.
The excitement on the faces of the soldiers and generals has not dissipated, their eyes are still shining, and their chests are rising and falling violently, as if Zhu Zan just needs to wave his hand outward to chop down the group of gold thieves.
Everyone would mount their horses and rush out without hesitation, holding their swords.
Of course Zhu Zan would not do that. He saluted the three presiding officers sitting on the high platform.
"Of course, it is undeniable that I did use this to make some money at the beginning." He said, looking at the Minister of War, "Master Huang, you should still remember that it was the middle of winter, and our military expenditure in the North was
Due to various reasons, the payment has not been received, so brothers can’t afford to not even have food to eat, nor winter clothes to wear.”
The Minister of War had an apology on his face.
In fact, he can't remember that time, because it is too common to default on military expenditures, and it is not necessarily a deliberate default. After all, it costs money, and there are too many procedures that need to be submitted for approval. What can the Ministry of Revenue say that there is no money?
Sample.
"I've put you in a difficult situation," he said. "The military expenditures for this winter will be disbursed after June."
He paused.
"After all, this map is only a small amount of money, and it is against the rules. I'd better not do it in the future."
Zhu Zan responded yes.
"I didn't do it originally." He said, spreading his hands with an innocent look on his face, "It's just that although it seems like a small amount of money, there are many people who want to make a small amount of money, and this kind of diagram is very simple, and you only need to know a few.
I can draw a few strokes of Chinese characters and make them, but there is nothing I can do, our business has been blocked."
The Minister of Dali Temple sighed in his heart, I am afraid there are not many people who can resist your deal.
But now that the matter has happened, he has personally admitted the matter and promised not to do it in the future. It will be up to His Majesty to judge.
"Then this matter will be left as it is for the time being. I will lay out the laws and leave it to your Majesty to decide and deal with it." He said, looking at the two people on the left and right, "Master Huang, Lu Qianhu, do you think this is feasible?"
Of course the Minister of War had no objection, Lu Yunqi was just like a clay sculpture.
"Then that's it!" The Minister of Dali Temple slapped the decision on the wall, "Then..."
"Wait a minute." A guard in Jin Yi stood up and said, looking at Zhu Zan, "Prince Cheng Guo, you haven't yet explained the matter of pushing Hu Xun's carriage into the river."
Speaking of which, the reason why the emperor asked Duke Cheng to come to the capital was because he threw the censor sent by the capital to the north into the river. Hu censor had never suffered such humiliation in his life, and he immediately left the north in anger.
He cried to the emperor to resign.
The emperor questioned him, but Cheng Guogong and his son insisted that the military situation was urgent and there was no intention of collision.
"This matter." Zhu Zan said, looking at the people in the Ministry of War, "Isn't it already settled?"
The Minister of War suddenly remembered something and clapped his head.
"Yes, yes, I forgot." He turned to Lu Yunqi and said, "Lu Qianhu, it's like this. When we were ordered to investigate some time ago, Hu Xunjian already said that it was a misunderstanding and that he was drinking at the time.
I was so drunk that I misremembered it."
What?
The Minister of Dali Temple looked stunned, and even the Jin Yiwei present looked as if they had seen a ghost.
Can it still be like this?
Duke Cheng Guo was really good at it, even Hu Yushi could be persuaded.
The Minister of Dali Temple sighed in his heart.
No wonder he dared to let his son be sent to the capital, everything had been arranged.
"Yes, we haven't had time to report yet. We will wait for the prince to come and confront each other before closing the case." The Minister of War looked at the Minister of Dali Temple again, "Hu Yushi said that the prince had already made it clear to him at that time.
There was an urgent military matter to report, so he had to get out of the way, but because he was too drunk and couldn't stand still, he fell into the river, and it was the prince who rescued him."
As he spoke, he raised his hands to the people from the Ministry of War standing in the hall.
"Go and ask Yushi Hu to come."
Everyone in the military department in the hall responded, and just as they were about to leave, Lu Yunqi stood up.
"No need." He said.
This was the first thing he said after coming in, and everyone stopped and looked at him.
Lu Yunqi looked at Zhu Zan and walked down from the hall, bypassing several cases.
Zhu Zan also looked at him.
Lu Yunqi's face was blank, while Zhu Zan had a hint of a smile, but everyone felt that the atmosphere was tense.
Lu Yunqi walked up to Zhu Zan and stopped.
"Last question," he said, "Who is the leader of the woodcutter?"
Woodcutter?
Everyone was stunned for a moment when they heard it, but they immediately came to their senses. After all, for the Ministry of War, the woodcutter was also a troublesome existence.
Although ruthless bandits can kill enemies, they are not under their control.
Just like a knife is a good knife, but if the knife is not held in one's hand, then it is not pleasant, but rather unpleasant.
Lu Yunqi's question sounds interesting.
Everyone's eyes fell on Zhu Zan.
Zhu Zan smiled.
"I really want to know too." He said with a serious expression, "It's just a pity that they don't like us soldiers, so it's hard to see them. But I heard that their leader is very wise and as open-minded as the grassland.
Like an elder, although he cannot chop wood himself, he is the best and best woodcutter in the eyes of everyone."
This sincere admiration and admiration was not concealed by the fact that woodcutter was a taboo existence for both the court and the army.
The corners of Lu Yunqi's mouth moved, and he smiled. Although it was not as bright as Zhu Zan's smile, it also made his face a little softer.
"Aren't you a woodcutter?" The Jin Yiwei next to him understood his smile and immediately said, "Do you need us to produce any personal or material evidence?"
Zhu Zan smiled, seeming a little embarrassed.
"No, no," he said, "Yes, I said I was a woodcutter..."
"I have done it, not said it." Lu Yunqi took over his words and said.
Zhu Zan rolled his eyes at him.
"Yeah, the woodcutter is so cool, of course I want to give it a try, but I'm so bad that I wasn't even allowed in. I didn't even get to touch their lair, let alone meet the leader."
He said, "Anyway, I don't know if you ask me. Just do whatever you want."
Is he too bad?
How powerful those woodcutters must be if they can escape from the Jin Yiwei.
The expressions of the imperial guards were even more ugly.
This is deliberately flattering others and putting them down.
The Minister of Dali Temple couldn't help but reach out and pinch his forehead.
The first question made him feel confident, the second question turned into a misunderstanding, and the answer to the third question was a rogue one.
What can be done?
Anyway, Dali Temple is just a question. Let the emperor decide what to do in the end.
"Master Huang, Master Lu, look at this..." he asked proactively.
"Let's leave it like this." Lu Yunqi rarely took the initiative to say it. He didn't even look at the Dali Temple Minister, but looked at Zhu Zan.
Zhu Zan smiled at him.
"That means Mr. Lu, are you willing to let me go?" he said.
Lu Yunqi also smiled and took a step forward again.
"Do you know why I can't do anything to you?" He said in a low voice, "Because you have a father."
Zhu Zan looked at him and laughed.
"Of course I know." He smiled, then stopped laughing and lowered his voice, "Do you know why you are so arrogant now?"
Lu Yunqi just looked at him.
"Because you have no father." Zhu Zan lowered his voice and said word by word, "A beast without a father, no human ethics, no humanity. Of course a beast can be arrogant."
Although they all lowered their voices, the hall was already silent. How low could such lowered voices get?
There was silence in the lobby, and the atmosphere in the lobby was once again stagnant. (To be continued)
