When everyone came to their senses, Jianchui Xue had long disappeared.
They looked at each other, but the expressions in their eyes were different.
"Tell me, Master Jian, he must have run away, right?"
"This matter... it's hard to talk about! Master Jian's reaction today is very strange. It was clearly not like this before!"
"What are you all talking about?!"
Suddenly, someone among the private soldiers spoke. He glanced at the government officials coldly and continued:
"Didn't you hear that just now? Master Jian took the first step because he had something to do."
"You slander Master Jian so much and speak ill of others behind their backs. You are simply a shameful villain!"
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the government officials changed drastically.
Although these government officials do not have much power in Wuzhou City, they are still known as "officials" among the people.
When someone heard someone speaking rudely to him, someone immediately responded with sarcasm.
"Why, you can't bear it to be honest?"
"If you have the ability, why don't you save your third master yourself?"
As soon as these words came out, there was a commotion among the private soldiers.
That’s right, no matter what happens to Mr. Jian, the Third Master hasn’t been rescued yet?
And from what Young Master Jian said, it was obvious that he didn’t want to wade into this muddy water... Could it be that the other party was really powerful?
At this time, several private soldiers of the Ming family approached their commander and asked in a low voice:
"Commander, what should we do next? The Third Master is still in their hands, should we..."
The leader of the Ming family's private soldiers was a branch of the Ming family. He had only met this third master a few times.
Originally, according to his idea, after Master Jian took action, he would only be responsible for the finishing work.
But the current situation is that Mr. Jian ran away first, but he was pushed to the shelf...
I have to say that Young Master Jian is indeed unreasonable in doing things this time. Isn't he trying to trick himself?
Just as the private soldier commander was thinking hard, a subordinate beside him said:
"Commander, that's wrong!"
"Didn't Young Master Jian just say that the third master deserved his punishment, so he didn't take action."
"Since Master Jian said so, should we also..."
As soon as these words were spoken, other private soldiers immediately began to scold them.
"You bastard, what do you think?"
"The third master belongs to our Ming family. Even if he is guilty, he must be interrogated by the family head and elders in person. What will happen if he is handed over to the government?"
When the private soldier commander heard this, his eyes lit up.
Wait, why didn’t I think of that!
"Shut up, everyone!"
The leader of the private soldiers roared, and the surrounding area fell silent instantly.
Seeing that no one was talking anymore, he continued:
"You all heard what Master Jian just said!"
"Young Master Jian is a guest of our Ming family. He will never do anything wrong."
"So what we have to do is follow Master Jian's arrangements!"
"Everyone obeys the order and withdraws!"
…
In the government office,
The government officials looked at the private soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who were leaving in the distance, with expressions on their faces as if they had seen a ghost.
This Ming family...really don't care about their third master?
Although this third master is not a high-ranking member of the Ming family, he is at least an important chess piece. Why did they just give up?
At this moment, Ming Xiu's expression was extremely gloomy.
He never expected that his private soldiers would actually give up on him!
Seeing his uncertain expression, Yu Xiaoyu couldn't help but mock,
"Hey, is this your private soldier? It seems like that."
"Tell me, why didn't they rescue you?"
When Mingxiu heard this, he glared at Yu Xiaoyu angrily, and then said calmly:
"Young man, don't be too proud!"
"Do you think this is the only trump card in my hand?"
As soon as these words came out, Yu Xiaoyu's face suddenly became more interested. He was a little curious about what trump cards a mere general judge from Wuzhou had.
Ming Xiu looked at Yu Xiaoyu with a serious face and said:
"Send me to your Duke Yang. I have something. Duke Yang will know it after he sees it."
When Yu Xiaoyu heard this, he curled his lips disdainfully.
"Come on, with your status, what good things can you come up with."
As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Yang Dong. But at this moment, his eyes were particularly serious.
Yang Dong nodded slightly and said:
"Okay, bring him here!"
Hearing this, Yu Xiaoyu lifted Mingxiu up with one hand, like a little chicken, and brought him to Yang Dong easily.
"Tell me what you want to do!"
Ming Xiu didn't squint his eyes, and after taking a deep look at Yang Dong, he said suspiciously:
"Are you really the owner of the West Factory? Can you let me see your token?"
Yang Dong was a little surprised. He didn't expect that this Mingxiu would be so troubled.
But this also made him more and more curious about what Ming Xiu wanted to do, and it was so mysterious.
"See for yourself."
Yang Dong casually threw his token over. After Mingxiu took it, he held it in his hand and carefully observed it several times.
In the end, he seemed to be sure of something, and then solemnly returned the token to Yang Dong with both hands.
"This lowly official has eyes but doesn't recognize Mount Tai. Just now he actually suspected Mr. Yang's identity. He deserves to be damned!"
"Please don't blame me, Mr. Yang, and give me a chance to make meritorious deeds!"
As he spoke, he made a plop and knelt down towards Yang Dong.
This scene not only confused Yang Dong, but also all the government officials present.
No, Master Ming, what are you doing?
Isn't it time for you to reveal your trump card? Why did you suddenly kneel down?
Could it be that... your last trump card is to kneel down and surrender? ?
"What are you... doing?"
Yang Dong frowned, also confused as to what kind of medicine this guy was selling in his gourd.
Unexpectedly, Mingxiu changed into a dog-legged attitude at this moment, winking and saying:
"Mr. Yang, I have already thought it through just now. Since the Ming family has given up on me, I will no longer be a member of the Ming family from now on!"
"But... I do have a lot of information and guilt about the Ming family here. I think Mr. Yang is not willing to kill me easily!"
As soon as these words came out, the officials present were startled again.
Is this Lord Mingxiu too spineless?
But...it seems that you can’t blame Master Ming, right? After all, it was the Ming family who refused to save him until death!
But no matter what, he is also a member of the Ming family.
Should...
At this moment, Zhao Sanfeng on the side felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.
He had stayed in Wuzhou for many years, and his relationship with Mingxiu had not been very close to each other from the beginning.
Now if he were allowed to join Yang Gong and show that he was more valuable than himself.
After the incident is completed, maybe his and Ming Xiu's official positions will be changed.
Thinking of this, Zhao Sanfeng's heart sank.
