Volume 7: Ma Mingfeng is Xiaoxiao, and the Boy Raises His Sword Chapter 278 Burning
Xiao Yuanche and Guo Baiyi were both shocked when they heard Su Ling's words.
Xiao Yuanche glanced at him with interest and said: "Boss Su, do you really know how to pinch me? You said just now that you don't recognize any of the people on this list, why do you say it so confidently? Are the people on this list the traitors who are plotting against Shen Jizhou?"
Even Guo Baiyi looked at Su Ling with bright eyes.
Su Ling smiled faintly and said: "This matter is very simple. In troubled times, no matter which force, it is impossible to be absolutely monolithic, only relatively concentric. Shen Jizhou is powerful, and his military strength and scope of influence far exceed that of the Prime Minister. , so there must be a lot of people who want to plot against Shen Jizhou, but the list was handed over by Shadow Si Boning. If it’s not rebellion from the plot, what else could it be?"
Xiao Yuanche nodded and said: "Boy, you are really thoughtful. It is true that these people are all plotting against Shen Jizhou's rebellion, especially this Chen Yu, who is Chen Shangzhi's nephew. He is outstanding in both talent and strategy. I also deliberately promoted him so that he could be used by his successors. Now he is only in his twenties and is already serving as Cao Zuocao of the Academy of Arts in the Prime Minister's Office. Although his official position is not high, he is responsible for keeping and drafting documents to be sent to the Prime Minister's Office. The important positions of orders and relevant military intelligence in various places have never thought of doing such a treasonous thing."
Su Ling couldn't interrupt. After all, he didn't know the relationship between the people involved, so he could only remain silent.
Guo Baiyi said solemnly: "These are just partial lists. Baiyi thinks that if we dig deeper, there will be more lists on this list."
Xiao Yuanche nodded and said: "It really chills me that something like this happened at such a critical time. None of these people, their fathers, or themselves were promoted by me, Xiao Yuanche, and they have all kinds of achievements. Kind of gracious, I didn’t expect that now when the two armies are fighting to the point of inextricable separation, they would actually..."
Guo Baiyi had already heard the deep meaning of Xiao Yuanche's words, and he was even more worried in his heart. He hurriedly said: "I wonder what my lord is going to do with these people?"
Xiao Yuanche pondered for a moment, and his eyes were full of killing intent and said: "These people are all ungrateful people. If you don't kill them, it will not satisfy the hatred in my heart! I want to kill them all without leaving any one behind!"
Xiao Yuanche paused and then said: "Not only that, but we also need to check whether there is someone deeper behind them who has not surfaced. If there is, we must not tolerate it! Just like this Chen Yu, he is Chen Shangzhi Nephew, did Chen Shangzhi know about this matter? If Chen Yu just kept it in the open, and the manipulator behind it was actually Chen Shangzhi, then how many people with ulterior motives do I still have in the army today? Every time I think of this, I get chills down my spine!"
Guo Baiyi felt that it was inappropriate to do this, but seeing that Xiao Yuanche was angry and murderous, he could only stand there with a solemn expression and said nothing.
Su Ling, on the other hand, acted as if nothing was wrong and suddenly smiled and said, "I didn't look too carefully just now. Prime Minister, could you give me the list to look at again..."
Xiao Yuanche didn't doubt that he was there. He pursed his lips towards the pieces of paper pressed by the inkstone on the table and said, "Under the inkstone, take it yourself..."
Su Ling walked to the desk as if nothing had happened, moved the inkstone away, and picked up the pieces of paper with names written on them.
After looking at it for a few times, he said to himself: "The lights are a bit dim. There are so many densely packed names, which make my eyes dazzled. I will get closer to the lights and use the bright light to take another look."
Xiao Yuanche nodded without doubting his presence.
Su Ling calmly walked to the candlelight, put her head close to the candlelight, held up the pieces of paper and started reading.
Suddenly, he blinked at Guo Baiyi.
Guo Baiyi instantly knew what Su Ling was going to do.
He wanted to say something to stop it, but it was too late.
Then look at Su Ling, who suddenly picked up the lists in his hand at an extremely fast speed and threw them all into the candlestick without hesitation.
The candle flame flickered suddenly, and in an instant, the flames boiled, and the pieces of paper were reduced to ashes in an instant.
Things happened so suddenly that Xiao Yuanche never expected that Su Ling would do this.
Suddenly he was shocked. When he came to his senses and walked a few steps to the candlestick to look at it, there was no list, only a pile of ashes.
Xiao Yuanche was immediately furious. He suddenly turned his head, his eyes full of anger, and shouted angrily: "Su Ling, what are you doing! You are crazy and out of control!"
With that said, he kicked Su Ling.
However, Su Ling didn't even try to hide. He was actually kicked by Xiao Yuanche and fell to the ground with a "plop".
Xiao Yuanche's face flushed with anger, and he still felt that he couldn't understand his hatred. He suddenly took a few steps to the table, picked up the inkstone on the table, and threw it at Su Ling!
"I'll crush you to death for your arrogance!"
The inkstone was thrown out by Xiao Yuanche, perhaps with a little less force, and it fell right in front of Su Ling's crumpled body.
"Crack -" it fell into two pieces, and the black ink inside suddenly sprayed all over the floor, splashing all over Su Ling.
Xiao Yuanche was still filled with anger, feeling that this was not enough, so he walked to the wall in a few steps, where the Emperor's Sword was hanging on the wall.
With a sound of "Qiang——", Xiao Yuanche drew the Emperor's Sword, held the sword and said angrily: "You bastard, I will chop you down today!"
Saying that, he raised his sword and came to chop Su Ling.
Su Ling didn't know why, but he climbed up on the ground and straightened his chest. Regardless of the ink stains all over his body, he slowly raised his head and looked at the Emperor's Sword falling towards him without even trying to hide.
Guo Baiyi suddenly panicked. He walked over quickly, grabbed Xiao Yuanche's arm, and shouted loudly: "My lord! My lord, you must not do this! How can this be done! How can it be done..."
"
He was so anxious that he coughed violently again.
When Xiao Yuanche was pulled by him, he couldn't bear to kill Su Ling, so he had to try twice, threw the Emperor's Sword at Su Ling's feet, and turned away angrily.
After taking a few steps to the desk, he leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes, and his face was still full of anger.
Guo Baiyi suppressed his cough, first pointed at Su Ling, and then raised his hand towards Xiao Yuanche to persuade him: "My lord, my lord, please calm down! There must be a reason for what Su Ling did.
...Lord, calm down, you might as well listen to what Su Ling has to say..."
But Xiao Yuanche was half leaning on the chair, his eyes were slightly closed, he said nothing, and his face was frighteningly gloomy.
There was no sound in the entire hall for a while, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.
After a while, Xiao Yuanche's expression improved slightly. He slowly opened his eyes, looked at Su Ling with burning eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Su Ling, why did you burn my list! If you don't explain it clearly today, you will not escape punishment! Tell me.
!”
Su Ling nodded slowly, clasped his fists seriously and said: "Prime Minister, the boy was indeed innocent just now. He burned the list and died unjustly... Since the Prime Minister asked me, Su Ling will tell me why I did this." Do this."
As he said that, Su Ling took a step forward and said word by word: "Prime Minister! Brother in white! When marching and fighting, besides fighting on the battlefield, what else can we fight? What we are fighting is the human heart! As the saying goes, attacking the city is second, attacking the heart is the most important! Prime Minister and Big brother in white must understand this!"
Xiao Yuanche's face looked uncertain. Guo Baiyi nodded slightly.
Su Ling continued: "Our army is currently in a fierce battle with Shen Jizhou. The soldiers are working hard and are not afraid of death. What do they want? Isn't it just your personal charm, Prime Minister..."
Xiao Yuanche said coldly: "Personal charm, this word is quite new."
Su Ling said: "If the Prime Minister investigates and rectifies the people one by one because of the people on the list, how many people will be involved? Not to mention the people on the list, how many people there are, may not be completely committed to Shen Ji. Zhou, just to have a way out, if the Prime Minister makes a big announcement, everyone will be investigated, doesn't this mean that those who are wavering will be completely pushed into the arms of Shen Jizhou? At that time, they will have no choice but to devote themselves to Shen Jizhou wholeheartedly. Ji Zhou, when the time comes to fight back, Prime Minister, can we bear the consequences?"
Su Ling spoke every word and argued hard.
Xiao Yuanche's expression gradually softened, but he still remained silent.
Su Ling raised his hand to him again and said: "These are not the most important. If these people are investigated and the generals who lead the troops are involved, what is the Prime Minister going to do? Kill them? These generals are leading troops, they Are you willing to just tie up your hands? Not to mention this, with the way the Shadow Division operates, as long as there are some clues, they would rather kill them by mistake than let them go. By then, the entire military camp, from top to bottom, will be panicked, and there will be even more people. Villain, taking revenge for personal gain, making things out of nothing, and reporting indiscriminately. When the time comes, the morale of the army will be unstable, everyone will be in danger, and disaster will arise. Not to mention fighting against Shen Jizhou, it will be a blessing among misfortunes that the Xiaoying mutiny does not happen in our camp. !”
Guo Baiyi nodded suddenly and said: "My lord, Su Ling is very precise. This matter is very involved. It is really not easy to conduct a large-scale search and a big fight. My lord has also seen it, not to mention the ordinary people on the list." The civil and military subordinates, including some of the descendants of the lord's family, are among them. What will be the consequences of such an investigation? The lord must think twice!"
Only then did Xiao Yuanche's expression soften, and he snorted: "Then if you don't say anything directly, you would be too presumptuous to suddenly burn this list in front of me..." ..Moreover, it’s really an advantage for them, why not just sit back and do nothing?”
Hearing Xiao Yuanche's words, Guo Baiyi already knew that Xiao Yuanche's anger had subsided. However, he was the lord, so he was naturally angry at Su Ling's actions just now. He always couldn't talk back because of his face, and then he turned towards Su Ling winked.
Su Ling didn't know why, so he took two steps forward and said with a playful smile: "Prime Minister, I think I don't know the rules when I do things, and I often try to bump into you, so be it, you think this tone can't be said, kid, I Let’s go to Military Law Cao and get twenty boards…”
After saying that, he turned around and walked out.
Xiao Yuanche then snorted and cursed with a smile: "Get back! It's okay to beat you to death with twenty sticks, but if you can't beat me to death, I still have to treat you..."
Su Ling was just showing off. He just took a step forward, and when he heard what Xiao Yuanche said, he happened to get down the slope, pulled back the leg he had just taken, and sang "O" to Xiao Yuanche with a playful smile.
Xiao Yuanche then sighed and said: "Now that the list has been burned, can those ungrateful people just let it go?"
Su Ling hurriedly said: "How to let them go? Let them fool around for a while longer. When we conquer Bohai City, it won't be too late to settle the accounts with them!"
Guo Baiyi also said: "Su Ling is right. Since ancient times, Shen Jizhou's mansion in Bohai City will definitely have a more detailed list than this for this kind of thing. When we have decided on the overall situation, we can search according to the map... .. .”
Xiao Yuanche nodded and said: "That's it... As of now, that's all we can do..." After saying that, he glanced at Su Ling and said: "I kicked you just now, does it hurt?" pain?"
Su Ling chuckled and said, "It hurts a little, but I've been beaten..."
Xiao Yuanche snorted again, and then said: "However, Boning also told me an anecdote. That Shen Jizhou was arrogant enough, it really made me laugh."
Hearing this, Guo Baiyi said with great interest: "Being happy alone is not as good as having fun with everyone. My lord, you might as well say something..."
Xiao Yuanche said with a smile: "Then Shen Jizhou felt that he would definitely win in a battle with us, so he secretly set up an organization in Bohai City called Zhao Fu Cao. Do you know what it is for?"
Su Ling smiled and said, "Isn't it used to appease and accommodate people from our past?"
Xiao Yuanche laughed loudly and said: "I have guessed it again, but it is not just for recruitment and placement, but also for making money. If those of us who were in the past want to forget the past and work under Shen Jizhou again, we must at least pay this amount. ..."
As he spoke, Xiao Yuanche stretched out five fingers.
"Five thousand dollars?..." Guo Baiyi said in surprise.
Xiao Yuanche smiled and said: "How can there be so few? The pattern should be bigger...five to ten thousand yuan!"
Xiao Yuanche deliberately told the 50,000 yuan one after another.
Hearing this, Su Ling also shook his head and sighed: "It's dark... It's really dark. Running to surrender has turned into a business, and you have to pay back 50,000 yuan... You are crazy about money!" "
Xiao Yuanche said with a mocking smile: "That's not all. Do you know that actually Shen Jizhou didn't set such a high price, it was only a thousand yuan... This price was paid by a man named Xu Guangdou. It's a matter of deception and deception. This Xu Guangdou is Cao Yu, the person in charge of recruiting Cao Cao. Oh, by the way, this Xu Guangdou is also the younger brother of Xu Youzhi under Shen Jizhou... This guy, others He has not learned how to be greedy for money, but he has learned it from his elder brother!..."
"Xu Youzhi's clan brother?!..." Upon hearing this, Su Ling's face was filled with joy and his eyes lit up.
Xiao Yuanche glanced at Su Ling, and when he saw his expression, he knew that Su Ling must have been holding back some plan, and hurriedly said: "Boy Su... what bad things have you done again, let me tell you. "
Su Ling smiled and said: "What bad things can I do? I just wanted to ask the Prime Minister to give me a few days off so that I can relax and take a trip at public expense..."
Xiao Yuancheng asked curiously: "Holiday? Travel? What do you mean? How many days are you going to let me give you leave?"
Su Ling chuckled and said: "Go to Bohai City for a walk, go back and forth, and appreciate the strange people and things in Bohai City. No matter what, I need at least half a month off..."
Just as he said this, two people suddenly jumped into the door.
A young man, a big man from the Black Tower.
Both of them said: "Su Ling (Brother Su), if you want to go to Bohai City to play, you must take me with you!"
Su Ling, Xiao Yuanche and Guo Baiyi looked up at the same time, only to see the people standing at the door: Xiao Cangshu and Huang Kuijia.
