Some things in the world are just so unreasonable. Some people may have a hard time climbing up even after working hard all their lives. However, some people may be valued by big shots just because they say a certain sentence well, and they will rise to great heights and have a bright future.
Today's Chen Dynasty seems to be the latter.
But he knew very well that it wasn't.
If he hadn’t done what he had done in Tianqing County in the past few years, hadn’t killed those Qi Masters, and hadn’t had the means before coming to Shendu, then even if he said this 10,000 times by the Nanhu Lake, the guardian envoy wouldn’t care.
.
"I know that you didn't kill those Qi Refiners in Tianqing County to protect my dragon veins in Daliang."
The guard's eyes looked at Chen Chao, as if he could see all his thoughts clearly.
Chen Chao said, "The purpose of lowering my rank is for Daliang." ??
The situation that day was like this, and it's not even clear how the story would have happened if they had said they were willing to let him go.
But the process is not important, the result is always the most important thing.
The guardian looked at Chen Chao and said with some confusion, "You don't deny what happened at Nanhu Lake, why is this case like this?"
Chen Chao just repeated, "Those Qi Refiners want to destroy my Daliang Dragon Veins. As a local guardian, this is what I should do."
The guardian smiled and said, "What if I reinstate your position right now and continue to serve as the guardian of Tianqing County?"
It is unclear whether this is a threat, because as the garrison envoy of Daliang, he really has the ability to decide the life or death of the Chen Dynasty with just one sentence.
"The Lord Guard will not do this." There was no fear on Chen Chao's face, even though he knew very well that he would die if he went to Tianqing County at this moment.
"Your case has been closed. The court has not given up on you in front of the people. You are not guilty. But what will the monks outside the country think? In order to appease them, the court transferred you out of the capital. They can kill you to ease both sides.
Relationship." The guard looked at Chen Chao and said calmly, "I, Liang Chao, have to pay so much for you alone. Do you think it's worth it?"
Chen Chao calmly said again, "No."
Looking at the guardian envoy, Chen Chao said slowly, "At least not now. If the official dies now, how will the people see the imperial court, and how will the civil and military officials in the court see the imperial court? If you work hard for the imperial court, you will end up badly.
If this is the case, who will dare to work for the imperial court in the future?"
The guardian looked at him with admiration and said, "When I looked through the files before, I was told that you were calm and thoughtful, but I was a little skeptical. Looking at you like this, you are indeed far superior to ordinary people. Yes."
"Thank you for the compliment, sir."
Chen Chao saluted again.
The guardian asked again, "Many people in the city of God want to know your identity."
This was not the first time that Chen Chao faced this problem, but he still remained calm at this moment.
silent.
This time it was a question, but he still didn't want to answer.
The guard said, "You think I can't find out if you don't tell me?"
Chen Chao was calm and silent, just silent.
The guard suddenly laughed at himself and said, "I really can't find the final result. I can probably confirm that you are a descendant of one of those poor families."
Chen Chao shook his head and said, "No."
The guard laughed, his voice was hearty, this time it was not like the autumn wind, it was just pure joy, "What do you think of your lie?"
Chen Chao just said a little dullly, "I don't dare to deceive you, sir."
The guard said softly, "I don't actually care about your identity. There are many ghosts in our Liang Dynasty. I only care about whether you are one of them."
Chen Chao said, "Previously, the commander of the Song Dynasty once said that there are only two places in the Liang Dynasty where there are no ghosts."
The guardian did not hide anything, and said bluntly, "My line of guardians was established by Emperor Taizu Gao. It has been more than two hundred years now. Compared with those of the past, the current line of guardians is naturally not as good as the Yaoxie of Daliang Dynasty."
If things go rampant and the people at the bottom suffer, it is naturally the fault of my lineage of guardian envoys."
Chen Chao was startled. He didn't expect that the guardian envoy in front of him would be so straightforward.
He wanted to say something, but was quickly interrupted by the guardian, "You also bought your official position as the guardian."
Chen Chao remained silent, he could not refute this matter.
If there is a huge problem in the guardian envoy lineage, there is no doubt that he is also part of the problem.
"It's just that Song Lian is right. Although there are useless people in my lineage of guardian envoys, ghosts are not allowed."
The guardian said calmly, "The files of each guardian are in my house at the moment. How they got into the position of guardian is all recorded. Who is behind them and who is involved with them, I know everything except
……you."
Before Chen Chao could speak, the guard said, "The guy who operated for you a few years ago is now in the prison of Dali Temple. I don't know if you have seen him or heard his screams day after day.
"
Chen Chao still remained silent.
"I never thought that those poor families would think of placing such a person in the most inconspicuous place of our Daliang Dynasty." The guard was a little emotional, but there was a hint of hardness in his eyes.
Chen Chao said blankly, "I don't know what your Excellency is talking about."
The guardian didn't say anything, just looked at him like this.
Chen Chao suddenly asked, "They are not from the Liang Dynasty."
Common people?”
What he said was a bit strange, and it made the guardian feel a little dazed for a moment.
The guard asked, "Are they people from the Liang Dynasty?"
Chen Chao shook his head and smiled, "I don't know, but I do."
When he said this, Chen Chao's expression was extremely relaxed, as if he was talking about a very ordinary thing without any emotional fluctuations, so he seemed extremely sincere.
He has told countless lies in his life, and every time he acted extremely sincere, but this time, no one could tell whether he was really sincere or not. ??
You can't tell whether he is telling lies or the truth.
The guardian suddenly looked at Chen Chao, with a surging tide in his eyes, which made Chen Chao feel dazed for a moment, "I don't have to know your identity, but I want to know whether you are a ghost or not!"
His eyes were like swords, which made people uncomfortable.
Even Chen Chao, the divine treasure, was pale at the moment and had a splitting headache. Those words were falling into his mind one after another, and he was questioning them repeatedly.
Chen Chao felt more intense pressure than before, and that huge pressure made him very uncomfortable at the moment.
"I'm waiting for an answer."
The guard was very calm, but at the moment he was like a black mountain, right in front of Chen Chao. If the answer dissatisfied him, maybe the mountain would press down and crush Chen Chao into a pulp.
Chen Chao opened his mouth with difficulty and spit out the answer.
"no!"
…
…
There is a courtyard and a lake in the southeast corner of the imperial city, but it is much smaller than the South Lake.
There are also many willow trees planted on the lakeside. The sunshine is good now, and when it shines, the lakeside is dappled.
The dean walked slowly by the lake, with no one around him.
No one knew about entering the palace this time.
Everyone in the imperial city knew that no one was allowed to enter this lake without His Majesty the Emperor's express permission, and of course, the dean was not one of them.
The dean, who was wearing a long gown, slowly walked forward, and finally stopped in front of another man.
"I have met His Majesty."
The dean bowed slightly, his expression calm.
His Majesty the Emperor only wore a robe today, not an imperial robe. After the dean spoke, the Emperor said, "After all these years, I still don't like this place. It's too fashionable."
The dean smiled and said, "All the emperors of the Liang Dynasty have been here, how can your Majesty be an exception?"
Emperor Daliang frowned. Although he was still unhappy, he did not refute. He just looked at the lake and sighed, "If
So many things had not happened before, and I would not have been so tired."
The dean took it seriously and said, "That's true. Without these things, His Majesty would have been a corpse by now. Maybe all the bones would have rotted away, so how could he be tired?"
Emperor Liang said angrily, "Old man, what are you talking about? With my level of martial arts, even if I die, how can my bones easily decay?"
The dean didn't care about His Majesty the Emperor's anger, and just said to himself, "If Your Majesty dies, what does it matter whether the body will rot or not?"
Emperor Liang snorted coldly, "I don't want to talk to an old man like you about these nonsense."
"No, Your Majesty, if nothing else, who in the world is better at reasoning than me?" The dean raised his eyebrows, his face full of pride.
"You old man, do you think your reputation is very good?" Emperor Liang sneered.
But after a moment, he waved his sleeves and said, "That's all, I want to talk to you about business today."
The dean said oh, seeming a little careless.
The monk Fang Wai's realm is so high that he may be able to look down on Emperor Liang. The dean seems to be so, but in fact it is not the case. The reason why he is so casual has nothing to do with his realm, but because he and His Majesty the Emperor in front of him are very good friends.
Their friendship has been going on for many years. They were friends as early as when His Majesty the Emperor was just a teenager.
Because we are friends, we don't care.
If friends must abide by the etiquette of monarchs and ministers and appear to be so cautious, then what kind of friends are they?
Emperor Liang suddenly said seriously, "That young man caused some trouble in Nanhu today, do you know?"
"When the children were quarreling, I was in the lakeside courtyard. I listened to those sounds and found them very interesting." The dean said softly, "If I hadn't already accepted the last disciple, I would still want to accept him as a disciple."
He had said this before in Nanhu.
Now I say it again.
Emperor Liang frowned and said, "Do you know the identity of that young man?"
The dean said indifferently, "Your Majesty can't find out. Isn't it just those families?"
Emperor Liang said calmly, "Those families are nothing, I'm afraid it's not those families."
The dean thought for a moment and came up with the answer. He smiled and said, "If it's that family, it seems too simple."
Emperor Liang looked at the lake and said calmly, "I have a heart problem."
The dean said, "That's nothing to do with a child."
Emperor Liang said, "I want to see him."
The dean said, "I heard that the guardian envoy has been summoned to the mansion."
Emperor Liang fell silent and did not speak any more.
