After Zhong Kui went out, Hou Yong got close to Chen Mo.
The meaning behind the words is the same. Those who understand current affairs are heroes. I hope Chen Mo can explain it truthfully later.
In this way, Hou Yong can make great contributions, and Chen Mo and Huameishu do not need to bear too much blame.
When the supervisor arrives, he will definitely have many kind words.
"That's the end of the matter. It's all up to the arrangements of the adults."
Chen Mo promised happily, but in his heart he wanted to scold his mother.
This is the first time I have encountered such a hypocritical person.
No matter how nice you say it now, you will hate him if you add insult to injury later. Chen Mo has no doubt about this.
Unfortunately, Hou Yong made the wrong calculation.
The person who is going to be unlucky today is definitely not Chen Mo. Not only the Hou Yong in front of him, but also his backers have to go around without food.
The old saying is indeed true, for every man who kills dogs with justice, he is the most scholarly man who has a heartless heart.
In the end, only the eldest lady of the Chinese family felt sorry for her.
No, how can you say it's pitiful?
Just reach out and pull it yourself and put it directly into the account.
He has both merit and beauty, and this is a double blessing for him.
Thinking of this, Hou Yong felt happy, and then he pretended to be kind and told Chen Mo and Huameishu.
When the supervisors arrive, they must follow his instructions. Only in this way can the lives and future of the two of them be saved.
Chen Mo and Hua Mei Shu were also unambiguous. The left side flattered them against their will, while the right side suppressed vomiting and flattered them.
After a few words, Hou Yong became distracted.
He had even begun to imagine the scene where he would be blessed with merit and a beautiful woman in his arms.
"The supervisor has arrived."
At this moment, an announcement came from outside.
Hou Yong heard the sound and hurried to greet him. His obscene and flattering look made him a completely different person compared to before.
"I've met my lord."
The curtain opened and three people walked in.
One official and two bodyguards.
Perhaps it was because of the night, but the leader was dressed in casual clothes. He didn't look fancy, but in fact he was wearing the best clothes.
This person's face is feminine, with a bit of uncomfortable sycophancy, and his every move reveals a hint of arrogance.
Seeing this supervisor, Chen Mo finally understood something. He found the source of Hou Yong's arrogance.
In other words, this person is Hou Yong's backer.
The latter is imitating him all the time.
"The common people have seen the adults."
Chen Mo and Hua Meishu saluted together.
"No need." The supervisor waved his hand and asked immediately, "You two don't call yourself ordinary people. One is a lecturer of the academy and the other is a lady of the family. They must both be sensible people, so let's get straight to the point."
"It all depends on your orders," Chen Mo responded.
"Let me introduce myself first. I am Xia Fangzheng, who serves as the supervisor of the army. If there is anything I can tell you, I can tell you everything."
"Sir, didn't Zhong Kui report the situation?" Hou Yong was surprised.
"Colonel Zhong only said to invite me to come over. There are big things here waiting for me to make the decision. Since you asked, I'll let you do the talking."
After saying this, Xia Fangzheng waved his hand, and the guards quickly moved a chair over.
"Sir, I will tell you the truth from beginning to end."
Hou Yong was happy, very happy.
In my heart, I couldn't help but praise Zhong Kui.
He's a good guy, he knows how to get things done, and he knows how to give credit for his work.
After this matter comes to a perfect conclusion, you must give a good reward.
Thinking secretly, Hou Yong told the story about the gold, and then placed the copper pot in front of Xia Fangzheng.
"Is this true?"
Like Hou Yong before him, Xia Fangzheng couldn't sit still after hearing that the copper pot was doped with gold.
The moment I picked up the copper pot, I couldn't help but twitch my eyes twice.
Don’t tell me, the portion is really wrong!
Although Xia Fangzheng did not go to the battlefield, since he held the position of supervising the army, he naturally had to have a thorough understanding of the situation in the fortress.
From the situation of the two armies to the supplies of food, grass and baggage, everything was well understood.
Even the military pot is no stranger to him.
It was precisely because of this knowledge that he concluded that there was something fishy in the copper pot.
I'm not sure if it's gold, but it's definitely not normal.
To be cautious, he looked at Chen Mo.
With doubt and expectation, he asked solemnly.
"Chen Jiaoyu, I want to ask you, is what Mr. Hou said true?"
"Sir, before I answer your question, can I say something else?" When the time came, Chen Mo began to fight back.
"Chen Jiaoyu, you..."
When Chen Mo opened his mouth, Hou Yong knew that he was going in the wrong direction, so he quickly wanted to give a warning.
However, before he could finish his words, he was blocked by Xia Fangzheng.
"I'm asking, when will it be your turn to interrupt?"
"I don't dare to do it, but I know I'm wrong."
After Hou Yong finished speaking in panic, he quickly winked at Chen Mo.
The latter ignored it at all and continued to ask Xia Fangzheng.
"Sir, what I want to say is only directed at a certain person, so after saying it, I hope you won't blame me."
"Okay, you say."
"What I want to say is, the word "official" has two meanings."
The official word has two pronouns?
As soon as these words came out, Xia Fangzheng's expression suddenly changed.
Hou Yong next to him trembled.
Just as he was about to question Chen Mo, Xia Fangzheng glared back.
"Chen Jiaoyu, I have heard this sentence before. It usually says that officials cover the sky with one hand and do whatever they want. Isn't that right?"
"..."
Chen Mo didn't respond and just glanced at Hou Yong.
"Sir, he..."
How shrewd Hou Yong was, he instantly understood that Chen Mo was fighting back.
"Shut up." Xia Fangzheng scolded him coldly, "If you dare to say another word, you will be slapped to death."
Hou Yong responded repeatedly and gave Chen Mo a hard look.
"Chen Jiaoyu, there is no need to have any worries. Just say what you want and I will make the decision for you."
"Yes, sir."
Chen Mo nodded and talked about what happened in the future.
How he was made things difficult and how he was threatened was described word for word.
Of course, it is emphasized that Zhong Kui acted under orders, and Hou Yong was the one who committed the most heinous crime.
Listening to Chen Mo's embellished nonsense, Hou Yong almost exploded with anger.
Only now did he understand that Chen Mo had been plotting against him.
No, there is also Zhong Kui.
What a bitch, how dare you hook up with outsiders to set up a trap for yourself?
After the matter subsides, he must be cut into pieces.
"Hou Yong, what do you want to say?"
Xia Fangzheng was angry, not because of Hou Yong's bad behavior, but because the gold matter might go to waste.
He came here with great fanfare, how will it end?
The most important thing is that many soldiers and guards heard what happened, and I am afraid it will spread throughout the camp soon.
At that time, not only will he be blamed for being greedy for money, but he will also have a bad reputation for being blind and blind.
Having a panoramic view of the two people's expressions, Chen Mo said the last words.
"Sir, the reason why we admit that the copper pot is adulterated with gold is just to save our lives. If you don't believe it, you can order someone to melt the copper pot to see if there is any adulteration in it. If so, I am willing to pay for it with my life.
"
"A life to pay for it?"
After hearing this, Xia Fangzheng smiled because he found a way to break the situation.
"In this case, then do as Chen Jiaoyu said and melt the pot for verification."
"But before that, a military order must be issued. Not only Chen Jiaoyu must issue it, but you, Lord Hou, must also issue it."
Upon hearing this, Hou Yong suddenly turned pale.
Xia Fangzheng, this is to abandon the pawn to save the chariot.
