Lin Chong's words are not alarmist, the facts are indeed before his eyes. Zheng Chenggong clearly framed Cao Meng this time. Not only did he put Cao Meng in jail, he also killed people and silenced him in prison.
If this matter is revealed by himself, his prestige in the army will definitely plummet. Even if everyone doesn't like Cao Meng, they definitely don't want to see their boss frame his brothers because of his own selfish desires.
.
Once such an image is established, it will make his subordinates disloyal and distracted, so even if he takes a certain risk, he will call on people from the inner court to do these things instead of using his own subordinates.
The reason why he did this was that he felt that these people in the inner court were easy to control, and if any problems arose, they would be easy to deal with, and they would not involve him at all, nor would they affect his image and status.
How can there be such a good thing in the world? Lin Chong sneered, since you had already thought about abandoning the car to protect the commander if something happened, then I might as well let your car turn against you first!
The little eunuch's expression looked very tangled. Obviously, on the one hand, he thought what Lin Chong said was very reasonable, but on the other hand, he did not want to go against his inner thoughts and the orders he had received before. So he was in a dilemma.
Whichever side you choose is inappropriate.
Lin Chong is not in a hurry at all. Since you can't give an answer right away, I will give you time to think about it slowly: "Actually, there is nothing special about calling you here this time. Even you know that since Wang
After the death of the steward, it is very inconvenient for the eunuchs and maids in the inner courtyard to manage, which has always been a problem for me."
The meaning of this sentence is obvious. If you come to me to seek refuge, you can not only save your own life, but you can even get promoted and become a general manager. Such an opportunity does not come every day.
The young eunuch did not give the answer immediately. He was not a person who would be immediately dazzled by the petty profits in front of him. He knew how to answer questions freely: "I am willing to share your Majesty's worries, but it is a pity that I am so clumsy and embarrassed."
Da Ren, please feel free to greet me if you have any orders from now on, but I really don’t understand what I said before.”
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand it now, as long as you can figure it out before you regret it. Okay, that's all I have to say. You can go down first."
After Lin Chong sent the little eunuch away, he didn't stop there. He found a series of little eunuchs who were usually dishonest and called them in one by one to chat.
He did not directly ask about the list of accomplices. Lin Chong himself knew that this matter could not be rushed. Obtaining an accurate list was not something that could be accomplished overnight. With Wang Chengen's cunning level, even these little eunuchs may not fully know about them.
Who are his accomplices? If you want to dig out them bit by bit, you have to rely on yourself.
However, after calling the people in and asking a few similar questions, Lin Chong understood a little bit in his heart. Some people really didn't know anything. When they were called in, they looked very confused and nervous, but they didn't feel guilty.
expression.
For those who had done something dirty but did not cause a big mistake, Lin Chong would also make an appropriate effort to scare the monkeys, but such people were not the focus of his attention.
He pays attention to people who seem calm and composed but always see that they are very disturbed from some small details. These people probably also know that if what they do is discovered, it will be a dead end, so they will try their best to
Stay calm. But those ordinary little eunuchs who have not received any training cannot be so calm. When the emperor calls them in, they will feel a little panicked and nervous.
After roughly grasping some basic information, Lin Chong had an understanding of the enemy situation near him, but this alone was not enough. He had to do more next.
First of all, there are a few people whose identities Lin Chong can identify. The first one is the person who claimed to have seen Cao Meng a few mornings ago. He had already told him that before, so he must be able to guess how much the emperor knows about his identity.
With understanding.
A person like him has no value in existence once his identity is exposed. Even if Lin Chong doesn't kill him, Zheng Chenggong will find a way to kill him.
Although he had always been tough in front of Lin Chong, judging from the other party's attitude, it was obvious that he had confirmed it. In addition to meeting him, Lin Chong also met many other people that day. Will anyone among them reveal his identity? Zheng Chenggong
Do you already know?
Ever since he returned, he has been in a state of anxiety and fear, and he is extremely careful when doing things, for fear that if he is caught, he will fall into an irreversible situation.
After enduring like this for a period of time, nothing happened, so he just assumed that the previous incident had passed and his crisis had been resolved.
He knew that one day he was on duty with a young eunuch who had just entered the palace. He didn't know much about anything. Not long after he walked, he complained of a stomachache and went to the toilet. He complained alone while holding a lamp and walking slowly.
Walk slowly and wait for someone to catch up.
As a result, after waiting for a long time, no one caught up with him. He was a little impatient. Did this guy fall into the toilet or something? He didn't come out for so long!
He planned to go over and take a look, but before he took a few steps, a black shadow flashed in front of his eyes. If he hadn't reacted quickly, his head might no longer be on his neck.
The little eunuch threw down the lamp and ran as hard as he could, shouting for help as he ran. Several times he was almost exhausted and had to continue turning left and right, trying to get rid of the pursuers behind him.
Even though he had tried very hard to avoid it, he was still injured and suffered many injuries. Just when he was about to give up hope, many pairs of torches appeared around him. Finally, someone heard his cry for help and came over. The little eunuch
I was out of breath after running, and when I saw that reinforcements were coming, I lost all strength and collapsed.
When he woke up, the little eunuch who was originally on duty with him was watching over him. The other eunuch didn't look too good either. His head was wrapped with thick gauze, and he was listless.
As soon as the little eunuch saw that he was awake, he quickly apologized to him: "I'm sorry, if it hadn't been for my sudden stomachache, I guess we wouldn't have met those people.
His apology was sincere, and he really felt that he had done something wrong: "If we hadn't passed by there at that time, maybe nothing would have happened."
Of course, the little eunuch didn't expect anything wrong with this event, but he also felt strange: "We are just ordinary people, why are we being targeted by killers?"
