Chapter 444: Proving Innocence
Early the next morning, Qin Shuhuai just started to have breakfast, and Chen Jing ran to say that Meng Hu was asking to see him outside, and he had been waiting for more than an hour since dawn. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Qin Shuhuai knew what Meng Hu was here for, so he said to Chen Jing, "Let him in." ”
It didn't take long for Meng Hu to enter the house.
Qin Shuhuai asked Chen Qing'er to add a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and then invited Meng Hu to have breakfast together.
Meng Hu didn't have the heart to eat, but because of his feelings, he ate two bites, and then said to Qin Shuhuai, "Helper, my subordinates want to ask a question." ”
Qin Shuhuai nodded, "You didn't sleep all night last night because of this question, right?"
Meng Hu said bluntly, "That's right, my subordinates can't sleep at night, so I have to come to the door early in the morning to wait for you." ”
"Just ask. ”
Meng Hu paused, organized the language, and then asked, "Is the gang leader raising troops this time for the emperor or the world?"
Qin Shuhuai said calmly, "For the emperor, but also for the world." ”
Meng Hu frowned and said, "The subordinates are dull, please help the master explain it in detail." ”
"The emperor is the world, don't you understand?"
Meng Hu was stunned for a moment, and then the sorrow between his eyebrows suddenly relaxed.
"So, the gang leader is still for the emperor and the Ming Dynasty?"
"You're talking nonsense. If it's not for the emperor, am I still for you?"
Meng Hu smiled, "Hehe, then I'll rest assured." ”
As he spoke, he picked up the bun in front of him and chewed it heavily.
Some people are very simple, believe a person, and will not doubt every word he says.
But Qin Shuhuai felt that Meng Hu was not. Meng Hu looked silly, but he was by no means brainless. The reason why he chose to believe in himself is probably because only by believing in himself can he feel better.
Otherwise, standing between Chongzhen and himself, he will never be able to sleep.
Meng Hu quickly swept away all the buns and porridge on the table, and then said vigorously that the food cooked by his sister-in-law was really delicious. Qin Shuhuai had no choice but to let Chen Qing'er bring some more porridge - he hadn't eaten enough yet.
After a while, Meng Hu suddenly remembered something, and said, "Helper, since you raised troops for the emperor, do you want to explain it to the brothers?"
Obviously, Meng Hu had already seen some bad signs in the gang, and he hoped that Qin Shuhuai could suppress it.
Until now, he believed that only a few people in the Jianghe Gang had the ambition to covet the world, such as being like a leather dog.
Qin Shuhuai put down his chopsticks, looked at Meng Hu, and said heartily, "Old Meng, you have been in the Jianghe Gang for a long time, you should know that the people in the rivers and lakes are not interested in being loyal to the imperial court, right?"
Meng Hu's face changed slightly, and he said, "But, the Jianghe Gang is from the imperial court!"
"The Jianghe Gang belongs to the imperial court, but these people in the gang, who would think that they are from the imperial court?"
"This ......"
"Old Meng, do you believe me?"
"Of course I believe you, but we crawled out of the pile of dead people together, who do you believe if you don't believe me?"
"I don't oppose it, and the River Gang won't oppose it, do you believe it?"
"Believe! Of course I believe it! The gang leader is in the Jianghe Gang, who is not convinced?"
"So, no matter what the people in the gang say, as long as you believe that with me one day, even if the Jianghe Gang is a beast, it will definitely not be able to rush to the Forbidden City! Now without the Jianghe Gang, there will be no Martial Arts Alliance, without the Martial Arts Alliance, there will be no Demon Sect, and if you can't suppress the Demon Sect, the Ming Dynasty will be in danger, do you understand what I mean?"
Meng Hu groaned for a long time with deep eyebrows, and finally nodded heavily.
"Helper, I know what you mean. The brothers in the gang are only willing to work hard for you, and they told them to work hard for the emperor, but they refused. ”
Meng Hu told the truth.
Qin Shuhuai did not deny this big truth.
"Lao Meng, if you help these people, it's better not to pass it on to the emperor, otherwise it will be difficult for me to do it. You know why. ”
Meng Hu immediately said, "Don't worry, if I wanted to, I would have said it earlier." I didn't say anything about you and the White Lotus Sect before. I don't dare to say it!"
Qin Shuhuai patted Meng Hu's shoulder with a wry smile and said, "Long live understanding." ”
After breakfast, Qin Shuhuai immediately set off and went to the capital Liushi Academy to find Sun Chengzong. The reason why he didn't go to Chongzhen and went to Sun Chengzong was because Sun Chengzong saw things better than Chongzhen. As long as you explain it to Sun Chengzong, Chongzhen's side will be explained by Sun Chengzong, so it will be easier to say.
In the evening, I arrived at Yanagi Academy. The people in the academy saw that the famous Qin Shaobao had arrived, and immediately welcomed him to the reception building.
After a while, Sun Chengzong hurried over.
Sun Chengzong is sixty-seven years old, his two dark circles are very thick, the bags under his eyes are drooping, his face is very bad, and it seems that he didn't sleep well last night.
After seeing Qin Shuhuai, the first thing he said was, "Shaobao, I heard that the Demon Sect is going to rebel?"
Qin Shuhuai nodded and said, "Elder Sun Ge has already heard what Meng Wei said, right? ”
Sun Chengzong hurriedly said, "I said Shaobao, such a big thing, why don't you go and tell the emperor in person? ”
Qin Shuhuai smiled bitterly, "Old Sun Ge, I'm afraid of quarreling with the emperor again." ”
Sun Chengzong was slightly stunned, and was speechless for a while.
Qin Shuhuai said again, "Elder Sun Ge, I came today to talk to you about something. I can't tell the emperor these things directly, so I have to tell you, I wonder if Elder Sun Ge wants to hear it?"
Sun Chengzong said, "Qin Shaobao, if you have something to say, just listen to it." ”
"Alright, kid, that's it. Elder Sun Ge, the first thing the kid wants to say is that the rebellion of the Demon Sect has nothing to do with the kid, please ask Elder Sun Ge and the emperor not to listen to the villain's slander and buckle this big hat on the kid's head. ”
Qin Shuhuai knew very well that he had a lot to do with the Demon Sect, and the time when the Demon Sect raised troops was just after Chongzhen had a conflict with himself, saying that Chongzhen and Sun Chengzong did not suspect that the Demon Sect's rebellion was instigated or instigated by him, and he didn't believe it when he was killed.
That's why he had to come this time.
Now his situation is so awkward. It is ridiculous to think about not only helping Chongzhen fight the Demon Sect, but also proving his innocence.
But that's all he can do.
Rationally speaking, in order to achieve the task of the system, cooperating with Chongzhen is the most convenient and least destructive way. Otherwise, if an army rises up and rebels, it will be necessary to destroy the four forces of the official army, the demon sect, the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the Liukou, and when will they have to fight? After the war, I am afraid that the country will be almost finished, and he still wants to come to the court from all directions and create a prosperous era? In addition, from an emotional point of view, he does not want to meet Chongzhen's soldiers.
Sun Chengzong nodded slowly and said, "The emperor and the old man in this matter naturally believe in Qin Shaobao. ”
In fact, from the moment Chongzhen received Meng Wei's urgent report, he had already suspected Qin Shuhuai almost instinctively.
Qin Shuhuai smiled a little desolately, "Don't say it so early, I know that the emperor didn't believe me so much." But it doesn't matter, this time I will personally lead the troops to the Demon Sect, and he will naturally believe it when the time comes. ”
Sun Chengzong's face immediately changed slightly, and he said, "Oh? Qin Shaobao has decided to personally lead the troops to the battle? I don't know which battalion to bring, and what support does the imperial court need?"
"Hehe, Elder Sun Ge, please rest assured, I will not bring a soldier from the imperial court, I will only bring the Jianghe Gang and the people in the martial arts. The soldiers of the imperial court, let's guard against the slaves and rogues. ”
Sun Chengzong's face finally looked better. If Qin Shuhuai wants soldiers with the imperial court, then he and Chongzhen can have research.
"That's very good. By the way, if Shao Bao needs any help from the imperial court, just ask. As long as the old man can do it, he will definitely help you do it. ”
Qin Shuhuai said in his heart, I just opened my mouth to you, how much can you give me?
said, "Sun Ge is kind to the old man, and the kid understands it." However, the court has the difficulties of the court, and the kid knows it. Therefore, the money, food, and armor for the expedition were raised by the Jianghe Gang. ”
