It seems that he has completely forgotten the bad things others did to him!
Entered the mansion.
Chen Wang led hundreds of officials from Youzhou City into the mansion.
Guo Nian sat on the high hall very domineeringly, looking down at the officials of Youzhou.
Chen Wang was about to speak, but Guo Nian immediately spoke: "Everyone, according to the etiquette of the Wu Kingdom, shouldn't you first kneel down and kowtow to me?"
Wow!
When everyone heard this, they were immediately in an uproar.
Chen Wang looked ugly.
Although this is the etiquette of the country, no one has ever actually practiced it.
Except for the etiquette between monarchs and ministers, etiquette between superiors and subordinates is rarely strictly enforced by officials. Now, Guo Nian took the initiative to mention that they cannot violate it. Moreover, Chen Wang once offended Guo Nian, so he naturally would not rebel.
Chen Wang was silent for a moment, and then said: "Everyone, how can we neglect Mr. Guo when he takes office?"
After saying that, Chen Wang took the initiative to kneel down. Then others also knelt down one after another.
Kneeling three times and knocking nine times.
Perform the courtesy of respect and humiliation.
Guo Nian smiled: "Everyone, get up. I'm not new here, and I know the situation in Youzhou very well. I also know what you are thinking in your hearts."
After saying that, Guo Nian stood up from the high hall.
He looked arrogantly at the audience: "I know very well who among you is good and who is bad."
The officials immediately lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.
Everyone kept silent, fearing that Guo Nian would catch their pigtails.
Chen Wang smiled and said: "Mr. Guo, we are officials in the same dynasty, and we all have our own interests. We all did the right thing, but you, why bother holding on to the past things, why don't we sit down and have a good talk today, and turn the hostility into friendship.
Well."
"Turn hostility into friendship?" Guo Nian sneered and said, "We are all people receiving salary from the imperial court, how can we do things that are unconscionable? Besides, haven't you people done many unethical things before?"
When Chen Wang heard this, it seemed that the matter could not be mediated.
He took a deep breath and said: "Then... what does Mr. Guo plan to do?"
"Let me ask, who is the person who had an affair with Chen Guo?" Guo Nian asked loudly.
The scene suddenly fell into silence, even as silent as a cicada.
Having an affair with Chen Guo is a crime of treason.
Who can afford such a felony?
Chen Wang glanced at the scene and then said: "Mr. Guo, I'm afraid you have misunderstood? No one here has an affair with Chen Guo."
"Really?" Guo Nian sneered and said, "Then Mr. Chen, can you tell me, one cold winter night in the twelfth lunar month last year, when the envoy of Chen State came to Youzhou City, who did he meet?"
"Uh..." Chen Wang was stunned.
Guo Nian smiled and said: "Don't think that I don't know. I have already contacted the people from the Tiger Cavalry Camp. I already know all the evidence of the crime. If you confess honestly, I can spare your death, but if you are stubborn, I will spare your life."
, then don’t blame me for being rude."
A group of people were trembling with fear.
Treason is a capital crime.
If you have an affair with Chen Guo, can you still stay in Wu Guo after the news spreads?
Chen Wang frowned. At this time, he said coldly: "Mr. Guo, we are all officials in the same dynasty. Although you are a senior official, there is no need to blame your colleagues, right? We have all said that no one has anything to do with Chen Wang.
You insist on forcing us to admit that there is an affair between the two countries, what kind of man do you think you are?"
"That is, if you have evidence, show it." The bureaucrat who was working with Chen Wang immediately stood up.
They were convinced that Guo Yi would never be able to produce any evidence.
Because in their opinion, it is absolutely impossible for Guo Nian to obtain evidence.
Unexpectedly, Guo Nian said: "Liu Captain, come in!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the door.
Outside the door, a soldier wearing armor walked in quickly, with three dark gold stars inlaid on his chest. From here, it can be seen that this is the rank of the other person.
Everyone was dumbfounded when they saw Captain Liu coming in.
"Master Chen, what should we do?"
"Did Lieutenant Liu rebel?"
…
Several officials around Chen Wang said tremblingly.
Lieutenant Liu strode into the court hall and knelt down on one knee: "Commander Guo!"
"Get up and talk." Guo Nian raised his hand.
Captain Liu stood up immediately.
Guo Nian asked: "Liu Duwei, the next step is left to you."
"Yes!" Captain Liu nodded.
After saying that, Lieutenant Liu turned around and walked towards Chen Wang.
Chen Wang looked at Captain Liu and trembled all over. He subconsciously avoided Captain Liu's eyes and hid behind the other officials. However, how could the other officials tolerate him hiding behind them? A group of
People immediately fled from Chen Wang.
Chen Wang also wanted to run, but Captain Liu grabbed his shoulder.
"Hmph!" Captain Liu squinted his eyes and said, "Master Chen, where are you going to escape?"
"Captain Liu, shut up." Chen Wang was so angry that he was shaking all over and said, "Don't try to slander me. I haven't done anything."
"Haha, Captain Liu, if you don't do bad things, how would you know that others will slander you?" Captain Liu laughed.
"You!" Chen Wang was so angry that his blood pressure rose.
At this time, Liu Duwei smiled and said: "But don't be afraid. I have all the evidence of the things you did. Mr. Chen, I advise you to plead guilty. Otherwise, if Mr. Guo intends to execute you
, I’m afraid I won’t give you a chance.”
Chen Wang was furious: "If you want to accuse me, why bother?"
"Master Chen, you are really..." Liu Duwei smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Your concubine in Youzhou City has been confiscated by Master Guo a long time ago. Your concubine did not live up to expectations, not only did you
All the evidence of the crime has been revealed, and you have been secretly accused of it. Not only that, several captains in the military region have been dragged down by you, and I am afraid that they have been put to death by Master Guo at this moment!"
Hiss!
Chen Wang suddenly took a breath of cold air.
That concubine was indeed Chen Wang's favorite, and he had never been on guard against her.
In other words, he never thought that someone could defeat him, but it all happened so suddenly.
Chen Wang looked up at Guo Nian and thought to himself, this guy is so vicious despite his young age. No wonder he didn't take up the post on time. It took him several days.
In the past few days, Guo Nianke was never idle. He broke through from the military area and finally found Liu Duwei, a confidant. Liu Duwei asked Guo Yi to start with the concubine next to Chen Wang. Unexpectedly, as expected, it turned out that
Everything is solved easily.
Not only were hundreds of gold coins and thousands of silver coins taken from the concubine's home, but also countless copper plates.
All this money was sent by Chen Wang's envoys. It was just to enable Chen Wang to reveal some information.
Chen Wang stood there blankly, motionless.
The rest of the people kept an absolute distance from Chen Wang. Anyone who dared to have anything to do with Chen Wang at this time would definitely be seeking death. Therefore, a group of people stared at Chen Wang with unfamiliar eyes, and no one dared to talk to Chen Wang.
