Chapter 321 Siege

Although there were dozens of officials on the field, no one made any sound. They all listened quietly to Tang Feng's words. They also knew that what Tang Feng said was the fact. Everything they thought before was more just self-deception. If such a big thing happened, the court would not believe it.

Tang Feng was talking while looking at the expressions of everyone. He saw that everyone seemed to be nervous, afraid that he would pull him out as a scapegoat at this time. Everyone looked at each other's other colleagues, showing a look of alertness. After all, this is a matter of life and life, and it is not tolerated to be careless. Tang Feng continued: "But I can understand your situation. Some things you do are mostly due to the situation. In order to protect your position, you cannot do it. I wonder what I said is correct?"

Seeing that Lord Tang suddenly felt relieved, everyone's nervous expressions relaxed a little, and they nodded quickly and said, "My lord is right. We are also under pressure from the superiors, and they have no choice but to make those acts that disturb the people. It's really..." They all said almost the same words, as if they were really wronged. Tang Feng listened quietly, and seemed to agree with their statements, which made these people have an illusion: Could it be that Lord Tang said this before just to scare us? Or to give the court an explanation, he had to act like this? By the way, we gave him such a silver ounce, so he wouldn't want these things at all. Thinking of this, everyone's expressions had improved greatly.

"But," just when everyone thought this was just a matter of justice, Tang Feng threw out another word that made them frightened. Seeing everyone looking at him again, Tang Feng continued: "Although this is the case, you are still guilty, but not the main culprit, but the follower. Therefore, I can plead with the court on your behalf and let you make meritorious service when you are guilty!"

"What the lord said is that we are all at fault and should indeed apologize to the court!" These people were not newcomers who had just arrived in the officialdom. They soon saw Tang Feng's true intention. They wanted to show his actions and ensure the position of these people. Then they could only use this trick. Everyone was not resistant to the letter of apology. It was much better than a real conviction, so they responded one after another.

"Since you all agree with me, then I ask you, who is the culprit of this incident?"

"Of course it's Governor Bi and the Prefect Hai!" Someone answered without even thinking about it. But Tang Feng shook his head and said, "I said it a long time ago that these two people are not enough. Two dead people are not enough to satisfy the adults in the court, and it is impossible for the people to believe it. Therefore, we still need living people to bear the blame!"

The living people? Are they the people present? Suddenly, everyone's expressions became nervous again. If the people here had not had heart disease, someone might have died of illness by Tang Feng's loosening and tightening. Everyone began to look at others. Once they found that others were looking at them, their hearts would be tight, fearing that others would identify themselves as one of the culprits. So all kinds of distrust appeared on the field immediately. As soon as the eyes fell on someone, they would quickly move away, for fear that the person would become suspicious of him and die together.

At this time, Tang Feng took the wine glass leisurely and sucked it slowly. What he wanted was this effect. Now all these officials were in danger, thinking that they would not have anything to do, so that they would not think too much about some things. When they threw out that person later, everyone would not object. It was deadly. Will everyone still think about protecting others? But all this has to wait, and they must wait until the trust between them has disappeared before they can be used.

The atmosphere on the table was extremely depressed, and many people's faces were gloomy, and everyone was speculating whether others would use themselves as scapegoats. At this moment, Tang Feng finally spoke again: "My sir, I wonder what you think you think of me? As long as you find someone with enough weight to take this crime with Governor Bi and others, you can temporarily avoid it due to helplessness."

After a long silence, someone said carefully: "Your Majesty can be grateful for the lower-ranking officials. This is indeed a good way. I just don't know who you want to take this crime?" As soon as he said that everyone looked at Tang Feng, they realized that this candidate was not the final decision of them, so it depends on Tang Feng. Now, as long as the envoy Tang Qin pointed at someone, "It's you!" I believe everyone would agree. Everyone was guessing who this person was, and at the same time wondering if he had always been respectful to the envoy and whether the little filial piety he gave him was enough.

Tang Feng still had a smile on his face. He slowly picked up a chopstick of vegetables and put them in his mouth. After swallowing it, he slowly said: "Why can't you see it yet? Who is not present today? That's the best candidate. In terms of identity, he is also higher than you, and it's convincing enough to say that he is one of the main culprits."

Everyone felt relaxed for a while, and then they knew who he was referring to. There were only two officials from Shandong who were not present today. Since Meng Qingguo was a spy from the White Lotus Sect, it was naturally impossible for him to be the culprit. Then the remaining person was about to emerge - why do you have to prosper?

"In terms of official rank, he is indeed higher than all of us, and in terms of power, he is second only to the governor. If he blames all the blame on him, it is indeed the past." Many people have thoughts, but people here have always followed the leader of Why Bichang and suddenly pushed him to take the blame. It seems that they really don't have such courage. And they also know that He Bichang is a person who knows everything. If he really wants him to take the blame, if he gets crazy and drags everyone into the water, it's over.

"Everyone doesn't want to take responsibility, and they are afraid of this and that. How can such a person accomplish great things?" Tang Feng was full of contempt, but in order for his own ideas to be implemented, he had to continue to enlighten them: "The governor is the chief of a province, and he is one of the culprits, but if the governor did not stand on his side, the governor would probably not have done many things, right? So it is very appropriate for him to take the second responsibility.

"I also know what you are worried about. If I could be sure that he would not report everything to the court. I wonder if you sir, will you dare to do this?"

If this is true, of course everyone is so happy that people will take the blame, so these people nodded and said, "Just follow your orders from Lord Tang." Tang Feng felt secretly proud when he finally told them, but he still said seriously: "But this matter is very important, you must not reveal it, otherwise your own future will be complete."

"Of course, we follow your leader, and I dare not let that person know about this!" Everyone said confidently, and looked at each other, full of suspicion. This is exactly what Tang Feng wanted. Because of this matter, the seeds of distrust had been planted among these people, and the officialdom in Jinan, Shandong would no longer be a solid piece of iron. It would be impossible to completely deceive the superiors and hide the subordinates.

After sending all these people away, Tang Feng slowly walked to a house near the banquet and said to the person guarding there: "Open the door." As soon as the door opened, Tang Feng saw an angry and desperate eyes. The owner of those eyes was the governor He who was still mentioning just now.

At this time, the cloth strip on his mouth was also taken down under Tang Feng's instructions. He looked at Tang Feng hatefully and said in a hoarse voice: "Mr. Tang, where did I offend you? Why did you use such a vicious trick to frame me?"

Tang Feng sat on the chair opposite him and smiled and said, "You did not offend me anywhere, and even flattered me and flattered me. I have no personal grudges with you!"

"Then you still use this method to cheat me? Is it good for you to cheat me?" He Bichang said incredible. Tang Feng's smile closed: "You and I have no personal anger, but we have public revenge! If someone like you did the next crime in Shandong, would Shandong become like this? If you cannot bring you and others to justice, the dead people will not be at ease in this world!"

"You..." He Bichang couldn't speak for a moment, but after gasping for a long time, he said: "I admit that I made a mistake, but what about the others? They did those things a lot!"

"I know, they are not as innocent as I said, and they did not do less mistakes than you. But I cannot replace all the officials in Jinan and even Shandong. Even the emperor cannot have such great determination! All I can do is to kill a warning to a hundred people and take a person of enough weight to attack, and Lord He, you are the best candidate!"

"You..." He Bichang was completely speechless now. Tang Feng said this, of course he could not give him another chance. The only thing he could do was curse Tang Feng in his heart and let him die in front of him immediately.
