Chapter 85: The Human Heart

Hearing Shen Zhuo say such a thing, Yang Zhen had to admit that this Shen Qianhu was not completely without any merits, at least his skin was thicker than most people. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info changed to anyone, and he would never say those words in front of them, but Shen Zhuo actually said it without a little shame.

But when I think about it, I feel that this is reasonable. With Shen Zhuo's situation in Zhejiang over the years, if he hadn't been thick-skinned and tolerant, he wouldn't have been able to be this Jinyi Wei Qianhu a long time ago, right? How many people can endure being pressed on their heads by a eunuch all the time, asking for instructions on everything, and almost being the master? What's more, the people below will inevitably have opinions, if they can't be cheeky and ignore those small words, Shen Zhuo's thousands of households will not be able to do it with peace of mind.

But even so, Yang Zhen was not too worried, he already had a draft in his heart, so he also wanted to step forward and say a few words.

Just as Yang Zhen stepped forward, a young man in his twenties suddenly walked out of the middle of the team, and arched his hand towards Tang Fengyi and said, "Zhao Jie, the lowly Jinyi Guard Captain, is willing to follow Tang Qianhu to investigate this important case!" ”

As soon as he said this, Yang Zhen and Tang Feng were of course stunned, Shen Zhuo's face tightened, and the determined smile just now instantly froze on his face, which was too unexpected for him. He has made the pros and cons clear, and he believes that those people under him can distinguish the pros and cons, but he didn't expect that there would be people who were not afraid of things to jump out!

"Have you figured it out? Once you go to investigate this case, you will naturally have merit, but if it doesn't work......" Although Shen Zhuo did not finish speaking, the threat was already obvious.

But the captain named Zhao Jie had obviously made up his mind, and just smiled: "I have already figured it out." How can I be a dignified seven-foot man who has been obscure, this opportunity is right in front of me, I will definitely give it a fight, even if I lose, I have no complaints! ”

"Well said! A man is like a pine in the world, how can he be crushed by some eunuchs all the time! Yang Zhen spoke out in support at the right time, and glanced at Shen Zhuo, who was pale.

Although it was only a short two sentences, it had already moved the Jinyi guards, who were still a little indifferent. In an instant, they had already thought a lot about how they had been living in a mess, how they were looked down upon, how they were called by the eunuchs, and how unwilling they were to wake up every time they woke up in the middle of the night...... All kinds of thoughts came flooding back, which made these people who seemed to have long been numb a little impulsive.

"Why, except for this Brother Zhao, no one is willing to follow Tang Qianhu to investigate the case? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to raise my brocade and guard's majesty! Yang Zhen encouraged again.

If Zhao Jie hadn't been the first to stand up and respond, even if Yang Zhen and Tang Feng said no matter how fanciful they were, those captains who had become accustomed to the life in front of them would not have the courage to take this step. But with Zhao Jie's leadership, the situation is completely different. After a little hesitation, two people walked out: "Li Wan (Huang Zhe) is willing to investigate this case with Tang Qianhu!" ”

"I, Song Chang, am willing to follow Tang Qianhu!"

"I'm willing to follow Tang Qianhu!"

"I'm willing to ......"

"I'm willing to ...... too...... Someone strode out of the team and saluted Tang Feng. There were more and more people willing to join it, and in the blink of an eye, more than fifty people stood beside Zhao Jie, but the original team looked much thinner.

Shen Zhuo couldn't even get angry now, he just felt that none of this was real, it was just a nightmare. How could it be that in the blink of an eye, so many subordinates who had previously obeyed him chose to stand on the opposite side of him?

He couldn't believe it was really happening right in front of his eyes anyway.

Looking at Shen Zhuo's pale face, the corners of Yang Zhen's mouth hooked up an arc. He exhaled slowly, knowing that the prophecy he had made after the argument outside the building had finally turned into a reality.

At that time, he had said that as long as he and others made their position clear, there would always be some Jinyi guards who were unwilling to succumb to the eunuchs and would stand on their side. But for several months, this statement has not been fulfilled until today.

In order for those who have long been numb to regain their strength and make choices, in addition to a firm stance and attitude, strength is also extremely crucial. And during this period of time, the open and secret battles between Tang Feng and Shen Zhuo and An Li had already been seen by these brocade guards, and they were actually a little moved.

Yang Zhen not only dared to refute Eunuch An's face on the spot, but even dared to arrest his righteous son, but they were not maliciously retaliated against, but obtained greater benefits...... All kinds of things gave them an understanding: it turned out that Eunuch An and Shen Qianhu were not as terrible as they imagined, at least for Tang Qianhu and them.

And today, Tang Feng and the others took on the arduous task, which was in stark contrast to Shen Zhuo's small abacus. This made the captains' minds more lively, but there was still a trace of concern in their hearts. Until Zhao Jie suddenly stood up and became the last straw that broke the camel's back, the little prestige that Shen Zhuo had been operating for many years had completely collapsed. Even those who didn't stand up, what they considered was not that Shen Qianhu would blame, but that they thought that their abilities were limited and they didn't dare to take this risk.

Seeing that there were fifty or sixty people willing to investigate the case with him, Tang Feng was overjoyed. Since these people chose to stand up, then they will become his Tang Feng's people in the future, even after the case is investigated. Now he finally has a more decent team.

After glancing at Shen Zhuo's half-green and half-white fat face again, Tang Feng said with a smile: "Shen Qianhu, presumably you won't regret it, right?" ”

"I ......" Shen Zhuo only felt that his throat was dry and his mouth was bitter, and he hesitated before saying: "Since there was an agreement just now, this thousand households will not go back on their word." No matter how thick-skinned he is, he can't say anything about not letting people go, otherwise others won't obey his orders anymore.

"Then thank you Shen Qianhu."

"You don't have to thank me, as long as you find out the case, it's the best thanks. Also, I have to say ugly things in the front, if you can't find anyone to commit this time, and you can't find the money, how the court will deal with you, this thousand households will not intercede for you. Shen Zhuo was half reminding, half threatening.

Tang Feng was also a little nervous in his heart, after all, there was not even a clue in this case. But at this time, he couldn't lose his momentum, so he said: "Qianhu just rest assured, Xia Guan believes that with the ability of our Jinyiwei brothers, we will definitely be able to recover the stolen silver and arrest those thieves!" ”

Seeing Tang Feng and the others turn to leave, Shen Zhuo's face was already worried. After some hesitation, he finally gritted his teeth and ordered: "Come on, follow me to Grandpa An's mansion to ask for guilt." ”

"Rubbish! Idiot! An Li looked at Shen Zhuo, who was shrunken in front of him, and couldn't help but scold. It turned out that Shen Zhuo only wanted to send "good news" to Yang Zhen and them, but he didn't want him to bring such "good news" to himself, how could he make Eunuch An not angry?

Shen Zhuo lowered his head and only said yes, not daring to show a trace of dissatisfaction, he once again showed his greatest advantage - forbearance and thick-skinned. Even if he was scolded by An Li so face-to-face, he was also comfortable as a Jinyi Wei Qianhu. And this is also the key to his ability to keep doing this brocade guard.

After scolding, Eunuch An finally calmed down and glanced at Shen Zhuo: "You are so good at talking, let Tang Feng take nearly half of your people?" Don't you know that once they are taken under Tang Feng's command, they will be enemies of you in the future? ”

Xia Guan was also worried about this, so he also focused on the stakes. Who would have thought that those people would suddenly change their temperament, and as soon as they were encouraged by Tang Feng's subordinates, they all agreed to follow him to investigate the case. The lower officials are incompetent, please punish the father-in-law! Shen Zhuo admitted his negligence and mistake with a look of frustration.

This makes An Li no longer able to say anything serious, although this person is incompetent, but the advantage is obedience, can he still replace him? For Eunuch An, the most important thing for a subordinate is loyalty and obedience, but talent and ability are secondary.

After being silent for a while, An Li sneered again: "Actually, even if they take these people's hands, they may not be able to succeed, and this case is not easy to handle at the moment." It's been more than a day, and the people in the official offices in the city have also gone out to look for it, but they still don't see the slightest eyebrow, can they still have the help of the gods, and they can do things that so many people can't do? ”

Shen Zhuo hurriedly nodded yes: "My father-in-law is right, it is difficult to find out when these silver were stolen, let alone find those silver thieves and stolen silver." ”

"Hmph, but don't get complacent too soon, these people's abilities are indeed extraordinary. Otherwise, they would not have stirred up such a big incident in Wuchang and dared to be my enemy again. If they really ask them to find out the clues, or even make a great contribution, you, the Jinyi Wei Qianhu, are afraid that you will have to do it! An Li couldn't help but remind, he had eaten enough of Yang Zhen's suffering, and he didn't dare to underestimate their ability anymore.

Shen Zhuowei only said yes, and then asked tentatively: "I don't know if my father-in-law has any countermeasures?" ”

An Li smiled: "For this case, manpower is not the most critical, the most important thing should be time." I have already sent a letter to the capital, and as long as the people there are able to do their job, they can be given a shorter time to investigate the case, maybe only a month. Once that's the case, will they be able to escape from our palms? ”

"Father-in-law is wise!" Shen Zhuo was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly greeted him.

An Li smiled proudly, and said a little pretentiously: "I have also thought about this case carefully, and the most important thing is to find the silver." And if I expected it to be true, the millions of taels of silver had already left Hangzhou City, and even Zhejiang, so I asked them what they were relying on to find the silver. In any case, they are going to be planted in this silver theft case! ”
