Chapter 706 Falsehood and Reality (2)
“Brother…”
In the spacious office of the Ministry of Justice, the Eighth Master was sitting behind the copywriting, listening to a doctor under his subordinate with a smile. Suddenly, he saw the Tenth Master breaking in quickly. However, he called out and disappeared. The following words were gone, but the pair of leopard rings had a look of anxiety and dissatisfaction in his eyes.
"Okay, let's talk about it first, and then discuss it later?"
Seeing that the Tenth Master looked wrong, a glimmer of light flashed in the Eighth Master's eyes, but he didn't rush to ask about the truth. Instead, he waved his hand warmly at the doctor who was planning to report the matter and tactfully issued an order to expel the guest.
"twitter!"
The Eighth Master was in the Ministry of Justice. His words were not much different from the imperial edict for the officials of the Ministry of Justice. Since he was expelling guests, the doctor who came to report the matter did not dare to delay any delay. He responded respectfully and hurriedly left the room.
"Brother, there is a big mess on the other end of the Ministry of War. The thirteenth bastard suddenly sent someone to seal the arsenal and then took away all the accounts. Grandma, I'm so arrogant. I'm going to force my brothers to make their lives!"
The Tenth Master has always been a rough person, and he was furious at the moment. When he spoke, he was not very particular about it. As soon as the doctor who came to report the matter left, he started to curse with a blushing face and a thick neck.
"oh?"
When the Eighth Master heard that the Thirteenth Old sent someone to protect the arsenal, the Eighth Master's heart immediately sank. There was nothing left behind. The Eighth Master was involved in the matter of the arsenal. He was not greedy for the silver that could be obtained by reselling activities, but for the standard weapons themselves. Over the past decade, the Eighth Master has really created a lot of weapons from the arsenal through various means, not only conventional weapons such as swords, guns, bows and arrows, but even more than a dozen heavy weapons such as artillery. Although the technique is obscure, it is absolutely impossible to withstand thorough investigation. If the Thirteenth Old Master is staring at him, the consequences will not be serious. Because of this, even if the Eighth Master is calm, his face will change when he learns that the arsenal has been blocked. He is just cunning and has no other words to express his feelings. He just said lightly without any objection.
"Brother, just make an idea. At worst, brothers and others will fight against that bastard!"
The Tenth Master was not as cunning as the Eighth Master. Seeing that the Eighth Master had no words for a long time, he immediately turned red with his eyes, stretched out his hand and rolled up his sleeves, and shouted again with anger.
"Where is that child Hongqing?"
The Eighth Master ignored the meaningless roar of Tenth Master, but saw his brow frowning slightly, and asked a question in a stiff tone.
"That bastard ran to the Ministry of Revenue. God knows that he is talking about something with the fourth brother."
When the mention of Hongqing, the Tenth Master's teeth immediately became itchy. When he was about to curse, he suddenly saw that the Eight Master's eyes swept over like a knife. He did not dare to make any unruly words and deeds. He could only grind his teeth and replied in a muffled voice.
"Um……"
When Hong Qing heard that when Lao Thirteenth made a big move, a few traces of brilliance flashed in the Eighth Master's eyes, he did not comment, and just spoke in a dull and generous manner.
"Brother, that little guy is just pretending. Grandma is a bear, no bastard, how dare that guy, Lao Thirteenth guy acts so recklessly? Hey, you can make a decision. At worst, brothers and others will make trouble together. Hey, let's see how that guy ends up!"
The Tenth Master waited for a while, but he didn't see the Eighth Master saying anything. His rough temperament couldn't help but start to attack again, and he cursed and started to make random suggestions.
"No hurry, let's take a look. Well, stare at the Ministry of Revenue first. Don't move lightly before you figure out what that kid wants to do!"
How could the Eighth Master not make enough preparations even though he knew that Hong Qing's mission was not good at the visitor? In fact, in response to various situations, Eighth Master had already formulated corresponding arrangements. Earlier, letting the people of the Ministry of War deliberately reveal some plausible news to the Thirteenth Master was one of the strategies for coping. The purpose was to induce Hong Qing to waste time on those seemingly serious but actually false information. Unfortunately, Hong Qing was obviously not deceived. As for the big fuss that the Tenth Master said was the last resort, which was a desperate move of killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred himself. How could it be used lightly before it was absolutely necessary? Now that the fog has not dissipated, Eighth Master could not fully confirm that Hong Qing's main attack direction must be the Ministry of War. How could he use such a ruthless move of burning hands with both hands? He naturally refused the Tenth Master's proposal without hesitation.
"Brother, the arsenal has been blocked, can it be..."
As soon as the Eighth Master made such a cautious attitude, the Tenth Master immediately became anxious and widened his eyes, waiting for another comment.
"The tenth brother doesn't have to say much. I know what I know. I will settle this matter first. I have worked hard for you and stared at the actions of the two guys. If you have any questions, I will discuss it again."
Before the Tenth Master finished his complaining words, the Eighth Master waved his hand and ordered in an unquestionable tone.
"This..., well, just do that!"
Seeing that the Eighth Master had a certain idea, the Tenth Master did not dare to force himself to persuade him anymore. He stomped his feet hatefully, muttered, and hurriedly left the room.
"Um……"
The Eighth Master ignored the Tenth Master's departure, and walked back and forth in the office with his hands behind his back. After a while, he stopped and turned his head to look in the direction of the Ministry of War, and sighed long...
"gentlemen."
In the study room of the Fourth Master's Mansion, a pillar of fragrance wafted whispering. Wu Sidao, wearing a white robe, sat upright in front of a few days, his eyes closed slightly, and his hands were raised. A song "Qingping Tune" echoed melodiously in the room. The Fourth Master, who had just turned from behind the screen, paused and stood silently. It was not until the end of the song that he slowly walked closer and greeted him calmly.
"Oh, the prince is back."
After hearing the noise, Wu Sidao opened his eyes. Seeing that the Fourth Master had arrived, he didn't dare to go there lightly. He hurriedly bowed and greeted him politely.
"Well, Hongqing, a child from Hongqing, came to the Ministry of Revenue and had a chat with me, saying that he would conduct a thorough investigation at the Ministry of Revenue at noon today. I did not agree and postpone it until tomorrow. I asked someone to go to the Ministry of War to inquire. Only then did I realize that the Thirteenth Old has actually enfeoffed the arsenal. It seems that the gentleman's advice has been effective."
The Fourth Master was in a good mood, but when he saw him lifting the hem of his robe, he sat upright on the cushion opposite Wu Sidao, and with a relaxed look on his face, he briefly told what happened today.
"Oh? Prince Ren and Prince said something to the prince?"
Although Wu Sidao decided to lead the disaster to the east, Wu Sidao actually didn't really have much hope to achieve the results. At this moment, when he heard the Fourth Master's statement, he not only showed a hint of complacent expression, but his brows frowned, but he did not rush to comment, but asked about the details carefully.
"It's so good for the sir to find out that this is the case..."
After having a conversation with Hongqing today, the Fourth Master was originally quite worried, and he was afraid that Hongqing would turn the main attack to the Ministry of Revenue. However, afterwards, he heard that the other end of the Thirteenth Emperor had sealed the arsenal. The Fourth Master's tense heart was already relaxed. He thought that the matter should have been decided, but he never thought that Wu Sidao did not seem to agree with this result, and his heart immediately sank. He did not dare to be careless and quickly recounted the whole story of his negotiation with Hongqing today.
"So that's it, um..."
Wu Sidao quietly listened to the Fourth Master’s statement, but did not comment. Instead, he said lightly without objection, frowned and fell into deep thought, with a serious expression.
"Sir, is there anything wrong with this?"
Seeing that Wu Sidao's reaction seemed a little wrong, the Fourth Master's heart couldn't help but feel a little heavy. He thought silently, but he didn't find anything wrong. In desperation, he had to ask a tentative question.
"It is hard to say that Prince Ren's behavior is elusive and elusive. I am afraid that the eighth master will not be calm. If this is the case, Prince Yu may be in a big disadvantage!"
Wu Sidao shook his head and pointed out the key point of the situation with a serious expression.
"Well..., why don't I go to Lao Ba's place to go?"
The Fourth Master had a strong sense of fear towards the Eighth Master. There were no other people. The Eighth Master had many subordinates and had a lot of people in the Ministry of Revenue. If you really want to disturb the matter, you would be really unpredictable. How dare the Fourth Master ignore it? Then he asked in contemplation.
"It's inappropriate. Since the arsenal has been sealed, the Eighth Master may not be suspicious. If the prince goes, it will not help but make him determined."
As soon as the Fourth Master finished speaking, Wu Sidao gave a negative opinion directly.
"this……"
The relationship with the Eighth Master is just about using each other. It is hard to talk about how close it is. When dealing with Prince Cheng, both sides may be able to work together. But if they really encounter danger, they will just sweep the snow in front of the door. The Fourth Master will not be unclear about this. The reason why he proposed this before was actually just a lucky mentality. At this moment, he heard Wu Sidao's statement, he would not stick to his own opinions. He just talked about the countermeasures. The Fourth Master was really confused and unaware of it.
"Don't worry, the matter must be settled on the Ministry of War. There is a plan, and if so, you may have a 40% chance of winning."
Wu Sidao waved his hand and thoughtfully said a plan, but he was not particularly optimistic about the effectiveness of this plan, and the chances of winning were only a pitiful 40%.
"Well, then that's fine, let's settle it first!"
Chapter completed!
