Chapter 996: No Sound
After all, for Zheng Chengdan here, in this matter, he can't directly take action.
To the two people sent down by the imperial court, that is, Zhuang Mingyue and Long Yan are the dead hands of cultivation.
Otherwise, if you directly kill these two people, after a little time, the emperor in the imperial city will notice that something is wrong.
In addition, if someone is sent over to investigate, then the murder of him and the current plan will definitely not be saved, or it will be leaked.
Compared with such a troublesome situation, it is better to continue to deal with these two ministers who he already understands and grasps in front of those ministers who are trying to deal with the imperial city emperor.
In this way, he will also have more time to continue to work on the plan that he has not yet perfected, instead of affecting the progress of his plan because of the ministers in the court, or other things, which will delay the plan and affect his purpose.
So that's why it's in this state of the day.
Even if Zheng Chengdan really wanted to do something to Zhuang Mingyue and Long Yuanxiu, and he also felt that the two of them were really stupid. But he still pretended to be mild, and he didn't know anything, and continued to interact with them as Jiangnan magistrates.
Just like what Zheng Chengdan thought in his heart, Zhuang Mingyue and Long Yuanxiu, who had also been disguising themselves on the other side, and did not know the identity and purpose of the two of them, had already been discovered and exposed.
This time, in this case, he can only choose to continue to play with Zheng Cheng and continue to play this battle with him.
After all, in this matter, they have to endure far more than the current battle, and there is a greater interest in the struggle and intersection behind the two sides.
One wants to encroach on the imperial power, and the other wants to defend the imperial power.
In this case, it can only be said that the winner is king.
Although Zheng Chengdan is just a small magistrate, although he has won the hearts of the local people, and he does have far-sighted and unscrupulous ambitions.
But now that he is already facing Zhuang Mingyue and Yuan Xiu, who are also experienced in a hundred battles and have dealt with many people with such ambitions, it is really difficult to predict who will win and who will lose in this battle between the two of them.
After all, in the final analysis, today's Zheng Chengdan, whether it is identity or status, the family is very weak and incompetent, so it is precisely because of such a situation that he is so jealous of their identity when he has been discovered by the other party, and does not directly kill them.
It's just that after this incident, it is really unknown where the development of things will unfold.
And it is precisely because they are the two families that they know how to observe words and emotions very well, and can disguise themselves to the extreme, so even if they know that the other party's family is disguised, but outside of them, other people who don't know the real situation and the inside story have never had any suspicions about them.
Especially Zhuang Mingyue and Long Yuanxiu here, the two of them didn't know about this Zheng Chengdan in front of them, but in fact, they already knew their real plans and purposes.
It is precisely because of this that in this case, in general, it is still Long Yuanxiu and Zhuang Mingyue, who are slightly defeated.
Zheng Chengdan, who was holding the letters he had investigated in the past few days about the movements of Zhuang Mingyue and Long Yuanxiu, not only sneered again after seeing the behavior of the two of them who wanted to attack him.
On the side, he handed over these letters to the next person, and after seeing Zheng Chengdan's cold look and sneer, he suddenly felt some confidence in his heart.
understands that everything is now under the control of the master, even if the identities of the two people who want to deal with them are not simple, and even one of them is His Royal Highness the Second Prince of the current dynasty.
But since the other party is now kept in the dark, except for the remnants of the robbers who escaped and the documents, there is no other valid information investigated, and it is really not an excessive threat to them.
So after he thought of such a point, it was naturally impossible for him to have any excessive jealousy towards them.
I saw this subordinate person, walked forward slightly, and bowed to Zheng Chengdan, who was in front of him, "My lord, now that the two of them have already started, then we should deal with them one step in advance, so as not to let them ...... in the middle."
However, before the rest of the scary words were finished, they were directly interrupted by Zheng Chengdan, who put the letter in his hand on the candle and burned it.
"Idiot. After so many years of following me, you can't even make up your mind about such a trivial matter? ”
Although Zheng Chengdan's words did not mean to reprimand too much, the subordinate who hung his head was so frightened that he couldn't help but tremble after hearing what Zheng Chengdan said.
Although she understands that her master does look like a harmless scholar on the surface.
And in fact, he doesn't have much kung fu, but this person's mind and ambition are definitely not comparable to ordinary people.
In addition, after Zheng Chengdan secretly came into contact with a mysterious person who didn't know where he came from, he now has the ambition to seek power and usurp the throne.
In this case, although he does have a little awe of this, he is more afraid, for fear that he will be directly killed on the spot by the ruthless adult in front of him because he does not investigate or does not do things well.
Even if it had been more than ten years for him to follow behind this adult, he understood how ruthless the adult in front of him was, but anyone who was useless to him or a threat to him, or a person or thing that threatened him.
Naturally, he would rather kill three thousand by mistake than let one go, so in this case, he was facing such a Zheng Chengdan.
After all, he will still be afraid in his heart, so he can't help but subconsciously, trembling because of fear, and his face will become panicked, and he will quickly show his loyalty and his usefulness.
I saw that he was just a subordinate who bowed his hands, and after such a voice, he quickly knelt down directly on the spot, and knelt down on the spot without the slightest hesitation to admit his mistake.
"Please forgive me, this is a small foolishness. This time I failed to get the minds of adults, and I hope that there are a lot of adults, and the small ones are willing to go to the backyard to receive punishments! ”
Although Zheng Chengdan did reprimand the person in front of him, in this situation, it was naturally impossible for him to use too heavy a punishment.
After all, in the final analysis, in today's situation, if you can miss one thing, you can miss one thing, and the real person in front of you has been with him for more than ten years, and the sincerity is enough to guarantee it.
Therefore, he naturally refused to punish the subordinate in front of him, who was loyal to him, at this most critical time, in exchange for his non-existent intelligence.
Besides, for Zheng Chengdan, who is too smart, compared to the kind of overly intelligent subordinates, he would rather use the slightly stupid but completely terrifying person in front of him to obey his orders, rather than the kind of subordinate who pretends to be clever and wants to take something from him.
So when he heard the words of the person in front of him who was willing to accept the punishment, he just raised his eyebrows lightly and did not directly order, let him really go to the backyard to receive the punishment.
"Let's not mention this matter for the time being, there are other things that the official has to tell you to do, as long as you can handle this matter properly, then you don't have to go to the backyard to receive the punishment this time."
Hearing the horror of the truth, I couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, although he said that he voluntarily went to the backyard to receive the punishment, after all, no matter who it was, it was naturally impossible to want to be punished.
So this time, after hearing Zheng Chengdan's words, he naturally chose to give up directly to continue this topic, and the so-called matter of going to the backyard to receive the punishment.
"Yes, my subordinates obey orders!" After agreeing heavily, the subordinate raised his head again, and turned to look at Zheng Chengshan in front of him, "Please also ask your lord to give important instructions to his subordinates!" The subordinates will definitely not disappoint the adults this time! ”
For the loyal and fearful attitude of his subordinates, Zheng Chengdan was naturally extremely satisfied.
As a result, in today's situation, Zheng Cheng's expression on his face has also eased a little from an extremely cold state.
In this matter, he did not delay too much, but turned to directly give instructions on what he was going to do for him, and then told again: "At this time, it must be done in secret, of course, those three people can't find out, if you can't even do such a little thing, you should know what the result is." ”
finally waited for such an opportunity to atone for his sins, which naturally made him care about it very much.
When he heard such a sentence, he did not hesitate at all, and directly replied again: "Yes!" Subordinates understand! ”
But it was in this situation that Zhuang Mingyue and Long Yuanxiu, who were here, counted the time and felt that the letter should be about to arrive in the capital.
It's just that in today's situation where there should be news, there has been no sound for a long time.
In this case, for the two people who have been waiting for a letter from the palace, there is naturally something wrong.
