Chapter 609: Punishment in the Open and Promotion in the Dark

In public, the scene only adds to the jokes.

Fan Long glanced at the tray again, and Fan Sheng's chest rose and fell. He hurriedly took the cup and drank it all, holding his breath and said:

"Okay, the past is written off."

He Lingchuan was moved: "Second Brother Fan is generous!" Then he moved to the giant bear and took a glass of wine for it personally, "Third Brother?"

The giant bear was very straightforward. It held the wine glass with its two front paws, stretched out its tongue and sipped twice, as if it tasted good, so it held it up and drank it all.

"Another glass." It asked the maid in a muffled voice. This wine tastes a bit like honey, delicious!

He Lingchuan simply grabbed the wine bottle and poured it for it personally.

The giant bear drank two glasses and was still not satisfied.

Fan Long couldn't bear it anymore, and coughed: "Third Brother!"

The giant bear gave up and returned the wine glass.

He Lingchuan said with a smile: "If Brother Fan San likes this wine, just ask me for it often. The bees in the back mountain will soon be able to produce linden honey."

Fan Bao was reluctant to leave: "It's a pity that I have to leave tomorrow."

He Lingchuan asked casually: "Oh, where are you going?"

Fan Long replied: "It and Lao Er were sent to the eastern battlefield and will leave tomorrow."

He Lingchuan looked at Fan Sheng, who had no expression on his face.

He smiled and said: "Then I'll ask the cook to pick a few jars of honey wine for Brother Fan San."

Fan Bao's eyes sparkled and he smacked his lips.

Fan Sheng stretched out his knee and kicked its fat buttocks. This bastard only cares about eating! People almost chopped off its front legs a month ago, and it forgot it?

"I appreciate your kindness." Fan Long smiled, "But drinking on the battlefield will cause trouble, so it has to be more honest."

Fan Bao lowered his head.

But the honey wine in this villa is delicious.

At this time, Fan Long said to Fu Shanyue:

"I brought twenty brothers with me. Please help them arrange accommodation."

"It's ready." Fu Shanyue had to welcome him. It was the emperor's request that the Tongxin Guards move into Pianxiang Villa. Could he say "no"?

"For safety reasons, the prince and the special envoys must be accompanied by the Tongxin Guards when they go out." Fan Long smiled, "If you are not sure about the food, you can let them try the dishes first."

Fu Shanyue was moved: "Thank you for your trouble, Commander Fan."

MMP, the emperor should not have stipulated so much, otherwise Fan Long would have said it was an imperial decree.

This guy just wanted to annoy them by pretending to be an imperial decree.

After dealing with the situation, He Lingchuan turned around and went into the kitchen.

The unfriendly eyes behind him followed him to the corner.

The soul-catching mirror in his arms suddenly asked him:

"Does the Nian Zanli you are dealing with seem to care about Yuan Country?"

"Oh?"

"Isn't he talking about the current problems and hoping to save the people from danger?"

"If people want to rebel, they must find a good reason." He Lingchuan said lightly, "Not only for others, but most importantly for themselves."

Not only do you have to tell your followers that your choice is right, but the most important thing is to convince yourself that you have a clear conscience so that your will can be firm.

Otherwise, the pressure of being pointed at by thousands of people and being criticized by everyone is not something that ordinary people can bear?

The mirror thought for a while: "Then he doesn't think so?"

"It doesn't matter what he thinks." He Lingchuan said coldly, "It depends on what he does and what consequences he causes. In the Battle of Handan River, both sides were young and strong people from Yuan Country, and tens of thousands of people were killed and injured at once, which was a great gift to Beijia. The key is that people don't pay attention to him. Do you think that people like Nian Zanli can save the people from danger?"

The mirror groaned, isn't this question a bit beyond the scope? "Whether Nian Zanli or Yuan Wangting wins, the war can be over. Isn't that good?"

"Originally, whether he or Da Sima fought Yuan Wangting to death, it was at most called rebellion! The so-called winners and losers, the change of dynasties, are all Yuanguo's own business." He Lingchuan said, "Now Nian Zanli wants to lead foreign tribes to attack the motherland. Do you know what this is called?"

"Ah?"

"This is called invasion!" He Lingchuan said word by word, "In history, those who led foreign enemies to attack the motherland, how can they have a good end?"

"Nian Zanli borrowed troops from Beijia. Let me ask you, if he wins, will he pay back the debt? Will he pay tribute to Beijia? Will he respond to Beijia's requests?"

"Uh..." Jingzi didn't think too much.

"Then we have to plunder the blood and fat of Yuan Country and continuously supply it to Beijia until the people are impoverished. To put it bluntly, we have to cut off the roots of our descendants." He Lingchuan pointed outward, "Look at how the people of Lingxu City live. Whether they suck the blood of Yuan Country or not, they still sing and dance. What will be the fate of the Yuan people?"

"This is called taking away the deficiencies and replenishing the surpluses. It is not the way of heaven." He said grimly, "Now, do you still think that Nian Zanli is thinking about Yuan Country?"

The mirror was silent.

The master is sharp, it can't argue.

What He Lingchuan thought of was the battle between immortals and demons three thousand years ago.

Faced with the invasion of the demons, why did the immortals fight back resolutely? Why can't they just let it go? Because the demons only plundered the human world, endless plunder. Those spiritual energy and resources originally belonged to all living beings in the world.

The more the demons took away, the less they left for the world. The remaining immortals and monsters will start to roll inward again in order to compete for these limited resources.

The losers die, and the winners can only eat the leftovers.

The harder you work, the more painful it is.

If you don't work hard, you will perish.

Ha.

After the banquet, Fu Shanyue came to find He Lingchuan.

"The guests have all left, but Tong Xinwei has not left."

"I know. I saw it." Tongxinwei has already settled in Pianxiang Villa. No matter where He Lingchuan goes, he can often see their figures passing by.

These were the spies sent by Fan Long, and Fu Shanyue had to arrange accommodation for them, which was unpleasant to think about.

"These guys will spy everywhere and report to the master." Fu Shanyue snorted, "We have to give them a warning, and we can't let them live too comfortably."

"By the way, I have already heard about the punishment given to brothers Fan Sheng and Fan Bao from above. They are to be fined for half a year, demoted by half a rank, and assigned to the eastern battlefield."

"Disposal?" He Lingchuan didn't know Lingxu's situation, so he didn't know whether it was a minor or serious matter.

"Yes, deal with it! Brother Fan was originally on errands in Qingding City, but he went to Baishaqing without permission to help Cen Boqing deal with you. He left his post without permission, assisted the felons, and obstructed the Chiyan Special Envoy from handling the case. Well, he was still involved. Bai Ziqi’s case of immortality should be punished severely. "

I heard Fu Shanyue sneer and say: "Isn't it just a joke to give you half a year's salary? What two dollars do the Fan brothers need?"

"You're demoted by half a rank, but your immediate boss is still your own brother. What's so big about that?"

He Lingchuan asked him: "So going to the battlefield in the east is considered a punishment sect?"

"If you can perform meritorious deeds, you will atone for your sins and everyone will be happy." Fu Shanyue said with a straight face, he was not happy.

In his opinion, these punishments are an understatement.

"Before the emperor ascended the throne, the Fan brothers were his direct descendants. Now they are guarding the south gate of Lingxu City for him. It shows that at least Fan Long is deeply trusted." He Lingchuan said with a smile, "For a special envoy of Chiyan 'A layman, the emperor has no reason to severely punish his beloved general."

However, the special envoy represents Chiyan Kingdom. Fushan Yue knew that he was deliberately downplaying this point, and breathed out: "By the way, do you want to join Chiyan? My old man will not be able to do it for a few more years at most, and I have a seat on the throne. Come and help me, and I will do it later." Don’t be bothered by this nonsense.”

"During this trip, I found that I don't get along with Bega." He Lingchuan smiled, "I will leave when this matter is over."

"Hey, the immortal medicine case is just an exception. Who asked us to stab the lungs of Lingxu City with a knife?" Is this kid frightened by Lingxu City? "Actually, there are so many officials in Chiyan who will never have to deal with Lingxu City in their entire lives. When they return to Chiyan, won't they be stable and improving, and everything will be under control?"

He Lingchuan smiled: "Let's talk about it later."

Fushan Yue grunted. What do you mean, "no chance"?

After nightfall, Lao Dan returned and brought an oil paper bag to He Lingchuan.

Opening it, there was a tea cup and a few half-gray hair inside.

"Is this what Zaifu praised?"

"Yes, this is the cup from which he drank tea at the tasting held by Sir Alex, and the rim of the tea should be stained with his saliva." Lao Dan said, "The hair was taken by Sir Alex himself, there is no mistake. "

"Excellent!" He Lingchuan held up his hands, "It's enough to have these two things, plus the birth date. Thank the Lord for me, and make an appointment with her soon to tell her that the things she asked me to do have made progress."

When others give a favor, he must repay the favor and report the progress in a timely manner.

"yes."

"Hmm, wait a minute." He Lingchuan rubbed his chin, "Now that the Tongxin Guards have settled in Pianxiang Villa, they are watching me even more closely than Fu Shanyue. You are always running between me and the lord, which can easily arouse suspicion."

The old man was startled. He Lingchuan moved here from Pan Shanzhai, and there were unfamiliar faces everywhere, which was really not conducive to his secret work.

He Lingchuan waved, and a little squirrel jumped onto the window sill and landed on his shoulder.

This time he handed over a few fried hazelnuts:

"Xiao Qiao, send two messages for me, one to the Songyang Mansion branch, and the other to this address."

He read another address to the squirrel: "Quietly find someone named Dong, don't let other people find out. People named Dong have extremely ugly faces, or they have a scarf covering their face, so they are very easy to recognize."

This squirrel is called Xiao Qiao.

After listening to He Lingchuan's oral message, it chirped twice, turned around and jumped back into the tree, then disappeared into the shadows of the forest.

The mountains of Pian Xiang Villa are covered with trees, and I don’t know how many squirrels are hiding there. Tongxinwei wants to follow Xiao Qiao from here?

Then I want to go.

Zaifu boasted that he had eaten too much and was dizzy when walking and driving, so he decided to stay in the lower city tonight.

Retired officials from Lingxu City like him, who have a wide network of contacts, usually have residences in the lower city.

The concubine he bought back last year was young and beautiful, the same age as his granddaughter, but well-behaved and sensible. Seeing that he was unsteady on his feet and flushed when he came back tonight, he quickly cooked him sweet and sour plum soup to sober up.

After eating two bowls, Zaifu suddenly vomited a lot of wine, and the concubine was frightened.

However, he felt much better after vomiting, and the tightness in his chest subsided slightly, and he fell asleep.
