Chapter 574: Pulling Into Differentiation (2)

With a bang, a top-notch Jun porcelain tea bowl was crushed to pieces. This made several followers and guards in front of the hall hang their heads down, and even their breathing became much lighter. They didn't dare to look up and see Zeng Kaihan, who was so angry that his face turned blue, for fear that he would be vented.

Sun Tu ordered people to severely punish Jin Kui and others, beat 100 military sticks in public and then shackled the man on the crossroads. This was naturally extremely difficult for Zeng Jianjun to accept, because in his opinion, it was clearly a matter of being unable to get along with him. When the people pointed and talked about the identities and crimes of the imperial guards, there was no difference between them and talking about him.

So Zeng Kaijian sent someone to the military camp to meet Sun Tu, hoping that he could go online for his own sake and put the person back. But this time, Sun Tu seemed particularly selfless and had no intention of being at all. He sent the person back directly. In his words, he complained about him, the military supervisor, believing that it was because of his indulgence that such chaos occurred in Qingzhou City.

This naturally made Zeng Kaigan very angry. He really didn't expect that his face would not be saved even by a few subordinates. However, many people saw what Jin Kui and others did, which made him have nowhere to vent his anger even if he was angry. In the end, he could only throw something at his residence to vent his anger, and then cursed Sun Tu's bold and unrestrained behavior behind his back.

At the same time, he also deeply hated Jin Kui and other bastards who refused to obey orders. If they hadn't sneaked out regardless of their warnings, why would this happen? So they suffered a lot by themselves, and just letting their faces be ruined is the key to the problem. For this reason, he once again issued strict orders with the imperial guards. If anyone dared to go out without his orders and violated his orders, he would have to be severely punished.

Of course, after seeing the tragic ending of Jin Kui and others, no matter how brave the others were, they did not dare to go out easily. It was not until this time that these self-righteous guys who were inexplicably superior to local military soldiers finally realized the reality and knew that Qingzhou was not where they could be presumptuous.

Zeng Kaifan couldn't let go of this tone, so when he saw Lu Qian, who was probably already attracted by Sun Tu, he was even more angry. He used words several times to squeeze the other party, which made Lu Yuhou secretly angry, but he could only bear it because of the other party's identity. In the end, he had to avoid going to the side courtyard and dared not wander in front of him anymore. However, when he did this, he fell into the eyes of the already suspicious person, and showed even more guilt.

"Now Lu Qian has been attracted by Sun Tu. I have a bunch of waste under my command. Now it's dangerous to even enter the military camp, but what should I do? I can't just stay in the headquarters and do nothing, otherwise the court won't spare me easily..." After throwing the tea bowl, I started to work and walked in the hall uneasy. I have been here for more than 20 days, but I only entered the military camp once, and then I was called sick and huddled in the headquarters. Even he himself could not accept such progress.

Just when he felt helpless, a close confidant came to the door: "Master, the villain has something important to report."

When he saw the visitor, Zeng Kaigan was delighted and immediately called him in and closed the door. Because this person was the one he had sent to investigate Qi Desheng secretly, because he was not from the imperial guards, he was not caught by the scout camp and naturally got his job done.

Now, he told the truth about what he had heard in front of Zeng Kaigan: "Na Qi Desheng is indeed a local veteran general in Qingzhou. When Murong Yanchao was in charge, he was the commander of the army, but now he still holds this position. However, he made a lot of contributions to Sun Tu in the past few years, and the Qingzhou army gradually grew up with his careful training, and reached this point today. However, because he is not Sun Tu's direct line and is not good at currying favor, his status has not been improved.

"Sun Tu had already given up his post as the Chief Supervisor of Qingzhou last year. According to reason, Qi Desheng should have succeeded him. But in the end, he would rather transfer Dong Ping from Dongping Prefecture to take over than hand over the position to Qi Desheng... It is said that the soldiers in the army were dissatisfied with this, and Qi Desheng himself was also sick and stayed at home for many days. It was not until Sun Tu came to the door in person that he returned to the military camp." This was a good man who asked about the matter. In a few days, he had clearly understood the news about Qi Desheng.

Zeng Kaigan heard this and was even more energetic: "It seems that Qi Desheng has absolutely complained about Sun Tu. OK, this is our opportunity. More importantly, he is also the main general of the Qingzhou Army. As long as he can pull him to my side, it will be much easier to seize power in secret. By the way, can you find out when he will leave the military camp and where he lives?"

"The generals in the military camp usually don't go out, but he has a family in the city, so Sun Tu can go home once in five days. This evening is the time for him to go home, and his home is in Yanzi Lane in the south of the city."

"Okay, then you will... no, I have to see him in person so that we can show our sincerity." It is related to the overall situation in Qingzhou. I dare not slacken at all after I started working. Even if the other party is just a small eighth-rank military officer, I have to go this trip with condescending resignation.

After dusk, he quietly left the front gate with three or five guards, and carefully arrived at the south of the city, and found the house that looked really ordinary: "Is this Qi Desheng's residence? It seems that his situation in Qingzhou is indeed very bad, and Sun Tu is too good at using people!"

He was complaining and obviously ignored that the other party was just the most inconspicuous military officer. It would be impossible for any state prefecture to have any great mansion. Of course, these statements can naturally be used to convince the other party to use them for their own use.

After knocking on the door and attracting people in the house and revealing their identity, Zeng Kaifan was soon sent into the house by Qi Desheng, who was surprised to be greeted. The general looked really bad at this time and his face was a little gray. It should be because he was excluded a lot in the military camp, so he was in a bad mood.

After General Zeng Jianjun was invited to sit in the hall, Qi Desheng asked hesitantly: "I wonder why the Supervisor suddenly came to see the last general, but do you have any instructions?"

"Haha, General Qi doesn't have to be so nervous. I have no ill intention to see you." Zeng Kaigan smiled at him kindly, comforted him for a few words before saying: "I just heard that the general had worked hard for the establishment of the Qingzhou Army and made great contributions. Now he was excluded by Sun Tu and felt unfair for you. He came to see you specially."

"Sun Dujian has never been sorry for his humble position, I..." Qi Desheng was about to argue a few times, but was interrupted by the other party's wave: "I know you are not able to tell the truth because you have some concerns. Yes, Sun Tu is now in Qingzhou and even the entire Shandong. Sometimes he doesn't even take the imperial court seriously, so how can people not be afraid?

"I know your difficulties. A general like you who is capable and hardworking, the court should have promoted it. But now? Most of your contributions have fallen on Sun Tu himself. He has become the chief supervisor of Shandong, but you can't even get the chief supervisor of Qingzhou. You are depressed and sick. Haven't you ever thought of regaining everything that belongs to you?"

The once-killed serpent that seduced Adam and Eve to eat the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden, constantly teasing Qi Desheng's heartstrings: "I know that you are afraid of Sun Tu's power and means, but with my official being, I will be able to protect you from all. I am the military supervisor ordered by the court, and the power is not under Sun Tu, the chief magistrate. As long as I am here, he will not hurt you at all. As long as you are willing to cooperate with me, I promise that once Sun Tu is driven from this position, the chief magistrate of Jingdong Road will be your possession!"

Well, this person's tone was so big that he gave Qi Desheng such a big piece of cake. In fact, he knew very well that this was not a matter of stating all the way, but he expected that the other party was not aware of the inside story, so he simply drew an excellent prospect.

Sure enough, Qi Desheng's eyes showed a struggle: "I am naturally grateful to the military supervisor so much, but I am just a small role in the army, so it is difficult to take on important tasks."

"Oh, General Qi, you are too arrogant. I said, you are the foundation of Qingzhou Army today. What kind of virtue is Sun Tu? How dare you put all the credit on yourself? Others may not know, but the soldiers in the army understand very well, so as long as you are willing to stand on my side, you will not worry about not being able to balance Sun Tu! How about this opportunity, this kind of opportunity is not something that can be found often, and a bright future is within your reach, it depends on whether you have the courage!" In the end, Zeng Kaigan's eyes were already staring at Qi Desheng.

If Zeng Kaigan is indeed worthy of being the Minister of the Court, he cannot be dealt with in terms of eloquence, such as Qi Desheng. In an instant, he was already panicked and his eyes were drooping, so he dared not look at him.

After a while, Qi Desheng finally plucked up the courage and whispered: "Mr....Mr. is willing to do things for the military supervisor, but this matter is too big after all, and I really don't know how to do it."

Zeng Kaigan, who heard this answer, was overjoyed and laughed: "This is very simple. You just need to meet with your familiar subordinates and generals and let them follow you. As for what to do, it is also simple. When the time is right, when the official goes to the military camp, you can follow my orders."

After pausing, he remembered another point: "By the way, there is another thing I hope you can help me check, that is, Lu Qian has been very close to Sun Tu recently. Is he already attracted by Sun Tu? Please give me the answer earlier."

"Yes, the official understands." Qi Desheng hurriedly responded.
