Chapter 2372: General Ming became suspicious
Zhao Xu looked around at the officials present and said, "Starting from today, General Zheng will be reinstated!"
When General Ming heard this, he immediately came out to stop him and said, "Chief, no!"
Zhao Xu's eyes were focused on "General Ming".
General Ming suddenly felt as if he was locked by death.
Zhao Xu's eyes were so sharp that he couldn't resist them at all.
General Ming raised his hand and said: "Chief, Zheng Mingcheng has had evil intentions for a long time. He has always coveted his wife's beauty. This person cannot be reused!"
"snort!"
Zhao Xu snorted heavily and said, "Why, do I still need you to teach me how to do things?"
"I don't dare!" General Ming lowered his head.
Zhao Xu said angrily: "I asked you to catch the person who broke in, but he hasn't been caught until now! What use are you losers?"
"I have made up my mind, no need to say anything more! Someone, bring up General Zheng's clothes."
A guard was holding a silver plate with a set of special armor and clothing stacked on it.
After Zheng Mingcheng took it, he knelt down to Zhao Xu and said, "Thank you, chief!"
Zhao Xu told Zheng Mingcheng: "Go and change your clothes first, tidy up your appearance, and then come see me."
"Yes, leader!" Zheng Mingcheng bowed and exited the hall.
At this time, it was getting dark and it was about to enter night.
Zhao Xu said to the officials of Echeng, big and small: "Echeng is the place where we depend for our survival. We must guard against both external thieves and internal thieves. If there are people with evil intentions, don't blame me for punishing them. General Si
That’s an example.”
When mentioning "General Sickle", everyone still has lingering fears.
General Si was killed by Zhao Xu.
This matter has become a topic of discussion among the people of "Echeng".
Zhao Xu said: "Everyone, please go back and have a good rest! When the sun shines on the forty-eight sun pillars tomorrow, worship on time."
"Yes, leader!" Everyone responded respectfully.
Then, they turned around in an orderly manner and left the hall.
Echeng is a paradise place.
It's not like modern times, where you use clocks to tell time, but you use "sun pillars" to tell time.
There are 108 sun pillars in total. When the sun shines on which sun pillar, it represents a certain moment and the corresponding time.
When it is cloudy and rainy, these special "sun pillars" will also react differently.
Of course, Hongshang told Zhao Xu all this.
After the officials of Echeng, big and small, withdrew, Zhao Xu did not leave the hall immediately.
Not long after, Zheng Mingcheng reappeared in the main hall dressed in new clothes.
After Zheng Mingcheng shaved, he looked much cleaner than before.
Zheng Mingcheng knelt down in front of Zhao Xu and said respectfully: "Chief, what are your orders?"
Zhao Xu shouted back and said to Zheng Mingcheng: "General Zheng, the guards of my hall will be under your unified command from today on."
Zheng Mingcheng was shocked!
This means that I have been reused.
You know, it was "General Sickle" who commanded the guards of the hall before.
He didn't know yet that "General Sickle" had been killed by Zhao Xu.
However, he had just been released from prison. Not only was he reinstated, but he was also reused by Zhao Xu, which still made Zheng Mingcheng flattered.
Zhao Xu returned "Zheng Mingcheng"'s previous door talisman to him.
Zheng Mingcheng immediately took office and summoned the guards of the hall together.
He is only responsible for the leader's personal safety! Therefore, his more responsibility is to protect Zhao Xu's personal safety.
After "General Ming" left the hall, the more he thought about it, the more something was wrong.
First, "General Sickle" was killed by Zhao Xu, and then Zhao Xu released the intruders. He also kept them in the hall and treated them like honored guests.
It was already a certainty that "General Zheng" had been framed and imprisoned by him. How come the "leader" suddenly released "Zheng Mingcheng" and reinstated him in office?
Tomorrow is the "sacrifice". If this matter is not clarified, "General Ming" will not be able to sleep.
He personally came to the residence of "General Sickle".
But after searching inside and outside, I couldn't find any useful clues.
Huh?
Why are there blood stains on the ground?
General Ming was careful and found dried blood stains on the ground.
He frowned and thought for a while, but couldn't think of a reason.
Then, he went to the place where the body of "General Sickle" was buried.
If you commit a crime below "General Sickle", you will be lit up with sky lanterns tomorrow.
General Ming carefully inspected the body of "General Sickle".
This corpse of "General Sickle" is actually the leader of Echeng. Zhao Xu put the mask of "General Sickle" on the face of the leader of Echeng.
In terms of height, the leader of "Echeng" is a bit taller than General Si.
Secondly, one of the arms of the leader of Echeng was cut off by Zhao Xu with a sickle.
When "General Ming" took a closer look at the severed arm, he was suddenly shocked.
Because, on the hand with the broken arm, there is a clear mark of wearing a ring.
General Lian never wears a ring. Moreover, there is only one city owner in "E City" who can wear a ring.
Could this corpse be the "leader?"
But where is General Siam's body?
Who is the leader of Echeng now?
After General Ming discovered the flaw, the more he thought about it, the more something was wrong. He felt more and more that the leader of Echeng was acting suspiciously.
He hurried to the residence of "General Gong" and told General Gong about this incident.
After hearing this, General Gong frowned and said to General Ming: "General Ming, you don't doubt the identity of the leader, do you?"
"General Gong, I investigated this matter precisely because I doubted the identity of the current leader."
Recently, "Echeng" has not been peaceful, and things have happened one after another.
General Gong thought for a moment and said, "Then let's go find General Zheng and discuss this matter together."
"No!" General Ming shook his head and said, "The leader just re-appointed Zheng Mingcheng. He will not work with us to deal with the leader."
"Then what are you going to do?" General Gong asked.
General Ming's eyes flashed with a stern look, and he said: "If you don't do it, you won't stop! Why should Langsheng be the leader of Echeng? Let's act together and kill Langsheng. When the time comes, his woman will belong to me, the leader of Echeng."
Be yours."
Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes.
Although Echeng is a small place, it is no exception.
No matter where you are, there will be struggles for power.
When General Gong heard this, he was moved! After thinking about it, he said: "If it succeeds, are you really willing to let me be the leader of Echeng?"
"Of course! I am only interested in the leader's women. By the way, the two women who broke in are also pretty. When the time comes, I will beg them both to be my fourth and fifth wives.
"
"Hahahaha! General Ming, you are so unrepentant!"
General Ming said: "There is only one chance. If we fail, the worst we can do is go out and defect to Xichang! We will release the envoy from Xichang in a while. Do it, or not?"
General Gong is not a good person either. He is really attracted by the identity of the lord of "E City"!
