Chapter 1640 - Threatening the County Magistrate
Someone actually used artillery to blow up Mingye Villa in Chi Zhongtian?
Moreover, from what Chi Zhongtian said, he seemed to think that the imperial court was responsible. Once he thought so, would he be angry at himself?
If that's the case, wouldn't you be unlucky?
"Master Chi! Calm down, calm down. This matter was definitely not done by us. Even if you dug three feet into the ground in Shezhou City, you still couldn't find a single artillery piece. And I can tell you that the artillery pieces are very big.
Yes, anyone who pushes artillery into the city will definitely be interrogated by the officers and soldiers, so don't worry!" Qin Youhe said anxiously.
"Then tell me, who else has artillery?" Chi Zhongtian asked angrily,
"This..." When asked suddenly, Qin Youhe didn't know how to answer.
"In this case, I will give you a few days to find out for me. If you can't find out, I will think that it was the imperial court that did it. Since it was the imperial court that did it, I will kill you first, and then go to the capital to find the emperor for comment.
, don’t think I’m trying to scare you, there’s nothing in this world that I dare not do!”
After Chi Zhongtian said these words, he turned around and left, leaving Qin Youhe no room for redemption.
By the time Qin Youhe came to his senses, there was no one in the pool.
"Someone, come quickly!"
There was no other way. In order to save his life, Qin Youhe had no choice but to have someone investigate.
After leaving the county government, Chi Zhongtian walked to the Marquis Mansion. At this time, he had to ask Marquis Chengqi.
When they arrived at the Hou Mansion, the servants in the Hou Mansion were very happy. They had not seen Chi Zhongtian coming for a long time.
Marquis Chengqi got up very early and was practicing boxing in the garden at this time. Chi Zhongtian had previously taught Marquis Chengqi a set of boxing techniques, which were very suitable for maintaining health, and the speed was not fast, which was perfect for him. Now that Marquis Chengqi is practicing, he can't put it down.
The bones in his body are also much stronger than before.
"Master Hou."
Because they were old acquaintances, no one informed him, and Chi Zhongtian went to the garden on his own.
If as usual, Chi Zhongtian would have enthusiastically walked over to teach him a few moves when he saw Cheng Qihou practicing boxing, but now, he really wasn't in the mood.
"Oh, my nephew is here. Come on, have you eaten?" Marquis Chengqi saw Chi Zhongtian coming, so he stopped and asked with a smile.
"Master Hou, something happened to me." Chi Zhongtian said with his head lowered.
"Something happened? What happened?"
"Last night, my villa was violently attacked. My villa was bombed into a mess. The newly built houses were all damaged by the bombs and there were many holes in the outer walls." Chi Zhongtian said in frustration.
said.
Upon first hearing this, Marquis Cheng Qi almost laughed, because there was no way this could be true. It must be Chi Zhongtian joking.
"My dear nephew, it's early in the morning and you're not at home to have a good sleep. Come to my place to make me happy, right? Let's go for a walk and have something to eat together." With that, Marquis Chengqi pushed Chi Zhongtian to go out.
Who would have thought that before he had walked a few steps, Chi Zhongtian immediately grabbed Marquis Chengqi with his hand, and then said with a depressed look: "Master Marquis, how can I be in the mood to joke with you? This is true. If you don't believe it, you yourself
Go check it out."
Seeing that Chi Zhongtian's face was serious and didn't look like this, Marquis Cheng Qi suddenly started to murmur in his heart.
"Child, don't coax me."
"It was terrible. A lot of people were killed in the bombing, and many houses were no longer usable. Last night, a bomb exploded in front of me, knocking me aside. Later I figured it out. It was probably an artillery shell. I was lucky.
It’s really not that good. If you come closer to me, I will go directly to see the King of Hell.”
The more Chi Zhongtian spoke, the more sorrowful his tone became, and Marquis Chengqi could hear this.
"What's going on? Who did you offend?" Cheng Qihou asked hurriedly.
"I now suspect that the imperial court is going to attack me, because except the imperial court, who can get the artillery?" Chi Zhongtian asked.
"Impossible." Cheng Qihou immediately shook his head and said.
"Why?"
"Artillery is not something that can be obtained casually. The imperial court has very strict control over artillery. The use of artillery is usually a life-and-death battle. Because the reserve of artillery shells is not rich, the imperial court has to save money. You are just a man in the world.
, the territory is just such a small villa, even if the imperial court deals with you, does it need artillery? Besides, why should the imperial court deal with you? "
Marquis Chengqi asked a series of questions, which stunned Chi Zhongtian.
After a long time, the genius in Chi said: "Master Hou, I think it was King Huan who did it. When I took people to Xiping City, I had a quarrel with him and bumped into him, which made him very embarrassed. I
I think he came to take revenge on me." Chi Zhongtian continued.
"Well, if that's the case, then it's really hard to say. King Huan is a tiger general, and all the generals in the army give him some respect. It's not difficult for him to get a few cannons, but the problem is, Shezhou City
There are no people from the Fourth Route Camp in this area. Except for the artillery of the imperial court, which has some from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry, the only ones left are some from the Fourth Route Camp. "After Cheng Qihou said this, Chi Zhong
God knew that Qin Youhe didn't lie to him.
"I'm still investigating, and it may not be the imperial court, but at present, the most likely one is King Huan, so I have to be careful. If it is really him, I will definitely kill him." Chi Zhongtian said firmly
said.
"My dear nephew, actually since you agreed to become an official in the court, you must be prepared. You are a Jianghu person by nature. You have a bold temperament and a clear sense of grudges. You can't stand those intrigues. Therefore, there are not many people in the officialdom who can see you.
It's pleasing to the eye. In this way, you will offend more and more people, and there will be more and more enemies. On the surface, these people may not dare to do anything because of your martial arts, but in the long run, if you offend more and more people,
If there are too many, then you can't stop it. This world belongs to the imperial court after all. No matter how powerful you are, the royal way will not be with you. My child, please listen to me and control your temper." Marquis Chengqi persuaded him so earnestly,
It was also for his own good. Marquis Cheng Qi knew that the dangers in officialdom were much more dangerous than those in the Jianghu.
"Master Marquis, you don't need to persuade me on this. My original intention of joining the court as an official was just for fame. If I have to find a good reason, it is that I also want to serve this country and the people of the world.
, do something, but now, if you treat me like this because of some personal grudges, I will definitely not let it go. "
Marquis Chengqi knew Chi Zhongtian's temper and could not understand his words.
"Well, since you think so, then you should check carefully to see if the imperial court is attacking you. If so, you will be in trouble, but if not, the imperial court may be in trouble." Cheng Qihou suddenly made a pun
