Hou Yong asked himself, in this huge fortress, no one knew Xia Fangzheng better than him.
It was precisely because of this that he knew he was in trouble.
No, it was a misfortune.
reputation!
For the sake of his so-called reputation, Xia Fangzheng was giving up on him.
After realizing this, Hou Yong quickly looked at Xia Fangzheng pitifully, but the response he received was a cold face.
As a last resort, I could only sign the military order with trepidation.
Because he knew in his heart that there was still room for signing the military order. If he disobeyed the order at this moment, he would definitely die.
Next, there are Chen Mo and Hua Mei Shu.
After signing and stamping, Xia Fangzheng directly issued an order to melt a copper pot to see what was hidden inside.
The most indispensable thing in the fortress is the place for fusion forging, and the craftsmen quickly completed the task.
The answer is no!
Not to mention gold, even silver does not exist at all, so Hou Yong is in trouble.
It wasn't about talking, it wasn't about not talking either. He was helpless and screamed for a long time, and finally fell to his knees on the ground with a plop.
"Sir, I will let you down as a low-ranking official."
"It's natural that you have to apologize, but before that, I still have a few words to ask the two of them."
After Xia Fangzheng finished speaking, he looked at Chen Mo and Huameishu.
"I have now found out about the gold hidden in the pot. It is indeed Hou Yong, a slave who fooled me. I will be punished later."
"But on the other hand, although there is no gold in the pot, it is still suspicious. You are here to transport supplies, why are you bringing so many pots?"
"us……"
Huameishu didn't know what to say and was in a dilemma.
If you say you want to do business, but you still want to do business in an enemy country, it will definitely be a capital crime.
But to say that the pot is for eating is tantamount to covering one's ears and stealing the bell. There are so many cars outside that it is impossible to fool them.
"To be honest, your lord, the original intention of us bringing these pots is to do business."
At this time, Chen Mo told the truth.
"Who do you do business with?" Xia Fangzheng asked.
"To those who need it," Chen Mo said in a neither humble nor condescending manner, "Anyone who can use it can sell it to him."
"After all, is it right to seek personal gain?" Xia Fangzheng asked.
"Your Majesty, you are exaggerating, because if you really want to be reasonable, it is reasonable to seek some personal gain, right?"
"It can be said that there is no problem that you delayed the time. According to military law, I will hold you accountable, right?"
Xia Fangzheng doesn't like Chen Mo, very much.
At first glance, this person seems polite and polite, but in fact he is filled with arrogance.
Secondly, when facing yourself, you always maintain a calm and calm attitude, which is very annoying.
Then the eyes he looked at Chen Mo became cold.
Chen Mo didn't seem to be aware of it, and he still looked calm in the face of danger.
"Since the Lord has spoken to this extent, we can just let it go."
Are you giving in now?
What about pride?
After feeling disdain in his heart, Xia Fangzheng narrowed his eyes and nodded.
"There is no such thing as joking in the military. Since a military order has been issued, let's deal with it in accordance with military law."
"Come here, take them down and enforce military law at noon tomorrow."
"yes."
Several guards walked in from outside.
"May I ask, sir, where is he?" Chen Mo pointed at Hou Yong.
"Chen Jiaoyu, if I were you, I wouldn't ask this question." Xia Fangzheng said with a smile.
"It's a pity that I'm not the master." Chen Mo didn't hold back any longer and pushed back.
Because according to what Zhong Kui said when he left, the time is almost up.
If nothing else, reinforcements will be arriving soon.
"Chen Jiaoyu, are you sure who you are talking to?"
Xia Fangzheng was really angry when he was confronted.
"Of course it is clear. The problem is that everyone has issued a military order. You must treat them equally, right?" Chen Mo continued to challenge.
"presumptuous."
Xia Fangzheng scolded, with a hint of ferocity in his feminine face.
"I have changed my mind and will implement military law now."
"Drag him down, and the military stick will serve him."
"I want to see if you can continue to be tough after a hundred military sticks."
One hundred military sticks?
Hou Yong's heart trembled as he was on the ground, he was trying to beat someone to death.
Logically speaking, Hou Yong should be happy about the execution of Chen Mo and Hua Meishu.
The truth was completely opposite. He once again saw Xia Fangzheng's viciousness and ruthlessness.
What happened today couldn't be more clear.
If there is gold in the pot, Chen Mo and Huamei Shu will die.
Now I don't, and I started to defend myself hypocritically.
In a word, if you can make a profit, sacrifice your subordinates.
If there is no money to be made, then try to win over people's hearts.
After seeing this clearly, Hou Yong felt regretful for the first time.
Why, rush to get on Xia Fangzheng's pirate ship.
Xia Fangzheng on the side didn't know that his subordinates had such thoughts. He only thought that Hou Yong was grateful, so his eyes flickered away.
Eighty percent of the time, I was moved to tears.
So he raised his hand to express his intention, helped Hou Yong up, and winked at the guards.
Several people stepped forward and grabbed Chen Mo and Huameishu's shoulders.
"Master Xia, Cao Min has one last thing to say."
As Chen Mo said this, he signaled Huameishu not to resist. He had suffered so much injustice now, and he would definitely get it back later.
"explain."
Xia Fangzheng snorted coldly.
"Your Excellency, you don't distinguish between right and wrong, and you protect your subordinates, so you won't be afraid that if word spreads..."
"Shut up and take him down."
Without giving Chen Mo a chance to finish his words, Xia Fangzheng directly issued the order.
"Let me see, General, who is so ignorant and makes Master Xia so angry?"
At this moment, a powerful voice came from outside the tent.
It's full of energy and shakes people's eardrums.
Before he finished speaking, someone had already raised the curtain.
A figure like an iron tower almost blocked the doorway.
The guard guarding the door wanted to stop him, but was glared back by the person coming.
"You bastard, get out of here."
After scolding, the person walked in in two steps.
"Cheng Jingang, what are you doing here?"
After seeing the person coming, Xia Fangzheng's eyes immediately narrowed. From the unkind tone of voice, it could be judged that the two of them were usually very difficult to deal with.
"What did Mr. Xia say? The border fortress, where can this general go?"
"Cheng Jingang, please stop wrangling me. I don't care what happens to you in Nanying, but it's not your turn to act arrogantly in Beiying."
"What if I, the general, insist on being arrogant?"
After asking the question, Cheng Jingang arrived in front of Chen Mo in one step.
After raising his hand and flying away the two guards, he also helped Huameishu get out of the siege.
"Cheng Jingang, are you here to cause trouble on purpose?"
Xia Fangzheng didn't dare to take action, so he could only yell and ask.
Cheng Jingang didn't accept this at all. He nodded to Chen Mo and Huameishu, indicating not to say anything and just follow him.
"Bullshit Beiying, let's go."
"Where are you going?" Xia Fangzheng frowned.
"Going to the commander's tent, could you please stop me?"
