Facing the bright steel knife, a group of craftsmen became more and more excited! Especially Lao Deng and Lao Jiang, they ignored the approaching knife tip and pressed forward angrily!
As craftsmen who rely on their craftsmanship, they don't care about the military department or the dog department!
Xiao Han has an idea! There is technology! Be good to them!
Then these people will recognize Xiao Han! Work for him wholeheartedly!
Now, a random cat or dog comes and says that he wants to take over this place instead of Xiao Han?
Nonsence! Even if Ren Qing agrees to this matter, they will not agree!
"Back off! My sword doesn't have a long eye!" Seeing these craftsmen approaching step by step, the soldiers also changed their colors slightly, but the swords in their hands did not retreat, and were still facing the chests of those craftsmen!
Soon, the gleaming tip of the knife was pressed against the chests of Lao Deng and Lao Jiang!
Until then, Ren Qing, who had been deep in thought just now, suddenly lost his expression, and then suddenly raised his leg, only to hear two loud "bang bang" sounds.
The first two men with knives were like kites with broken strings, flying upside down with a "whoosh"! An arc was drawn in the air, hitting the steps they came up from, and almost rolled down the stone steps!
"You dare to take action?"
Ren Qing's feet are so fast!
It was so fast that the others didn't react at all. It wasn't until the steel knife fell to the ground that they suddenly woke up! Without even bothering to look at the two of them, the others all held knives and subconsciously aimed at Ren Qing!
"Put down the knife!" Among everyone, only the school captain knew Ren Qing's identity! Seeing his men surrounding him and trying to kill him, his blood ran cold for a moment! Hurry up and roar!
"Put down the knife?"
Hearing the roar, a group of soldiers were stunned. They held their knives, looked at Ren Qing, and then looked back at the captain. For a moment, they didn't know what to do.
"lay down!"
Upon seeing this, the captain roared to his men again, and after his men put down their swords sparingly, he took a step forward, cupped his hands and clasped his fists at Ren Qing: "Brother, we are also following orders, please don't make it difficult for us. "
"General Ren! Don't listen to him. Are you taking orders? Whose orders are they taking? Apart from His Majesty and Xiao Hou, who here is qualified to give orders!" Before Ren Qing had time to speak, Old Deng pointed at the colonel angrily again. The captain yelled, and at the same time, the other craftsmen also pointed at the captain and yelled with indignation,
Listening to the shouting and cursing, the captain, who was already annoyed at being questioned by this group of inferior craftsmen, became even more angry. He didn't dare to get angry with Ren Qing, but he had no scruples about Lao Deng and the others.
"By the order of the Ministry of War! By the order of the imperial court! This is the imperial court's place, not one person's. Old man, I advise you not to get into trouble, so as to save yourself the trouble and implicate others!" Gritting his teeth, the captain said He coldly said something to Lao Deng, and before Lao Deng could reply, he handed over to Ren Qing again: "Brother, you also know that Xiao Hou is banned now, and he has lost the divine grace! Such kind of In an important place, the imperial court will definitely not allow him to be controlled by one person. Taking back all the military headquarters is a matter of time and it is also a matter of rules! Please forgive me, brother!"
"Xiao Han lost His grace?" Ren Qing's face was expressionless until he heard this sentence, and his stiff face relaxed a little! It's like he wants to laugh but can't.
joke! How important Xiao Han is in Li Shimin's heart, there are few people in this world who know it better than Ren Qing!
These people still think that a simple grounding is a sign that he has lost his divine grace? Can you come and invade this vital place?
Then if they saw Xiao Han and His Majesty getting drunk and fighting over a bite to eat, wouldn't they think that Xiao Han would be quartered by five horses tomorrow?
"What did you say……"
"Grounded? Xiaohou just won the battle, how can he be grounded? It must be nonsense like you, a dog official!"
The crowd of craftsmen behind him was excited, and Ren Qing only found it funny. However, thinking of Xiao Han's letter, he still took a long breath, waved his hand to stop the craftsmen from shouting, and said to the captain with his eyes like a torch: "What do you mean? Is this a rule? Then according to the rules, after receiving this transfer order from you, should we leave here immediately? "
"ah?"
"General Ren!"
"No! This is what the Marquis left for us. We must guard this place until we die!"
As soon as Ren Qing said these words, all the craftsmen changed their expressions, and Lao Jiang and others even shouted out.
However, Ren Qing just waved his hands at them and continued to look at the captain and said: "What about these craftsmen? What should they do?"
"Brother, do you agree?"
The captain probably didn't expect that at the critical moment, this matter would take a turn for the worse!
Stunned, he quickly nodded: "Logically speaking, after receiving the transfer order, we should be responsible for receiving it here, but our people have not arrived yet. Brother, you can stay a few more days and pack your bags! As for these craftsmen... they You are from here, but you can’t escape!”
Pack your bags!
This is an official term, used specifically when a new official takes office but the old official remains.
Generally speaking, in addition to dismissal and investigation, before a new official takes over the duties of his predecessor, he must allow more or less time to make it easier for his predecessor to clean up some gold and silver and settle the accounts of his tenure.
Even though this workshop is located in the suburbs and is usually deserted, the captain vaguely knows that countless money is consumed here every year! There are even rumors that the loss here in one year is much higher than that of the other sixteen guards combined!
The captain, who knew nothing about research, naturally didn't know that the money was actually used for various research inventions.
He just thought that most of the money was taken away by Xiao Han. Otherwise, where would Xiao Han's reputation of not being short of money come from?
And since Xiao Han is greedy for money, it is not surprising that people like Ren Qing plucked their hair and took some away.
Giving him time to clean up is enough to show his understanding!
"No need! I can leave at any time!"
However, Ren Qing did not show any gratitude at all for the unspoken rules of the school captain's officialdom. He just said something plainly, then turned around and said to the astonished craftsman: "Masters, what this person said is correct. This is not the place where Xiao Han's family belongs, but belongs to the entire Military Department of the Tang Dynasty! Before this, Xiao Han also sent a letter saying that everything should be done according to the rules. Since they accept it according to the rules, we will not give it to them anymore. On the contrary, it makes it difficult for Xiao Han!"
"Did you receive a letter from Marquis Xiao?"
"What! Did he really say that? Are you lying to us?"
"Impossible. Xiao Hou has such a good relationship with His Majesty, how could he suddenly... lose power?"
Although the craftsmen present are upright by nature, they are not stupid! In addition, many of them have had the experience of serving as prisoners before. When it comes to the promotion and relegation of officials, even if they have never eaten pork, they have seen pigs run away! When Ren Qing said this, he thought that Xiao Han had really lost his power, and everyone was stunned, as if they were mourning for an heir.
