Pan Suxuan asked: "The old general is awake?"
Ma Desheng nodded and said: "I just woke up. The master is anxious to summon you, please invite me."
Pan and Chen agreed that Ma Desheng would lead the way, and they arrived at Xuanzang Hall in a short time. I saw Chen Xiaotian sitting in the middle of the lobby, and four other people dressed in official attire were sitting on the left and right. When Pan Suxuan took a look, he recognized two of the four people. The second person on the left was Mr. Zhang who bullied others in Huixian Tower, and the corresponding person on the right was Li Chaozong from the patrol camp.
When Li Chaozong saw Pan and Chen, he nodded slightly. Chen Yixin also knew Li Chaozong and thought to herself: "Why are the people from Jinling Mansion here in the middle of the night?"
When Chen Xiaotian saw the two people arriving, he stood up and said, "Xin'er, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Li Zhunli, the prefect of Jinling." Chen Yixin stepped forward and gathered her clothes and said, "My little lady, please see Mr. Li."
Mr. Li didn't say much, he just leaned forward slightly and nodded to Chen Yixin. Chen Xiaotian continued: "This is General Wang Jiaoshou, who is under the command of the Kou Governor."
Before he finished speaking, a fat man stood up on his right, with a short figure and a fat waist. He quickly came to Chen Yixin and said with a flattering smile: "Wang Shouren, a lowly official, has met the eldest lady. I have heard about the name of the lady for a long time. It is really great to meet you today." I am extremely honored, blessed for three lifetimes, auspicious stars are shining high, and great blessings are everywhere..."
Wang Jiaoshou was about to say more, but Chen Xiaotian coughed and said, "Everyone, please sit down. Mr. Li, please continue."
Li Zhun said: "I have some clues about the case of the theft of firecrackers in the east of Chengcheng. Someone found the remains of burned firecrackers in the garbage dump behind Huixian Tower. We followed the clues and found them nearby. In a long-abandoned house, a small amount of firecrackers were found scattered in the cellar of the house, so it is inferred that this is probably where the thieves who stole firecrackers settled."
Chen Xiaotian said: "Okay, now that we have found a place to stay, and send people to wait and see, the thief can be captured."
Just as Li Zhun was about to speak, Wang Jiaoshou on the side rushed to say: "The general is really insightful and able to predict events like a god. That night we deployed manpower around the house. As you expected, by the third night, there was a A man and a woman came here sneakily. They saw the two people arm-in-arm, talking and laughing walking towards the house. The official guessed that this was a pair of thieves. Thinking that there were so many stolen firecrackers, it would be difficult to rely on them alone. These two people will definitely not be able to steal it, so I concluded that the two of them must have an accomplice, so I ordered the troops to stay put and continue to observe, preparing to fish for a big fish for a long time and catch all the thieves in one catch. General, you are wise, powerful and discerning. , do you think the judge’s judgment is wrong?”
Chen Xiaotian laughed secretly and said: "This Wang Jiaoshou is looking for words when he has nothing to say, and he is trying to put a high hat on me. He is really a villain who wants to follow the crowd." Suddenly an idea occurred to him, and he thought: This man is well versed in the ways of officialdom, and he can't be flattered by such a smooth beard. He wants to continue to climb up in the officialdom. In that case, why don't I give him a ladder so that he can use it for me? "Thinking of this, he stroked his beard and nodded and said: "Well, that's right. I didn't expect Mr. Wang to think so thoughtfully. Such a mind is really rare. "
When Wang Jiaoshou heard this, his brows were filled with joy, and he bowed deeply to Chen Xiaotian and said: "The general is over-praised. I am just observing more carefully and using my brain more. These small skills are really nothing to mention in front of the general."
Chen Xiaotian smiled and said: "General Wang is not only quick-thinking and talented, but he is also humble and avoids arrogance and impetuosity. He is truly a rare talent!"
Pan Suxuan became more and more puzzled as he listened, and thought to himself: "What happened to the old general? How could he praise such a flattering villain so much?" He turned to look at Chen Yixin and saw that she was smiling and winking at him. , signaling to be silent.
When Wang Jiaoshou heard Chen Xiaotian praising him so much, he couldn't help crying with joy, and choked with sobs: "The world... people often say that a thousand-mile horse often comes but a small one... Happiness does not always happen, great... General, you are really my best friend." Such a person!"
Li Zhun on the side frowned. Seeing Wang Jiaoshou talking endlessly and flattering him, he couldn't bear it anymore. He stood up and said: "Master Wang, although you were the commander-in-chief of the ambush that day, you did not come to the scene in person. I think it's still... Please give Mr. Zhang, who was present at the time, a detailed introduction to the situation."
Mr. Zhang was already sitting nearby, as if he was an ant on a hot pot. Before coming to the General's Mansion, he was secretly thinking about how to take this opportunity to climb up to the high rank of General Protector of the Country. I just heard that General Chen is an upright man, hates evil as much as he hates evil, and has always scorned those flatterers who hug their bad feet and hug their thighs. When I saw Wang Jiaoshou's behavior just now, I thought I would be scolded, but who would have thought that Chen Da The general was actually very useful. He was in a good mood and even praised Wang Jiaoshou quite a lot. Considering that I have worked hard at flattery for more than ten years, at this critical moment of flattery, how could I be robbed of the limelight by someone named Wang? ! It's a pity that this man surnamed Wang is always eloquent and spitting. He tried to speak several times, but he couldn't get a word in. When you are at your wits' end, this great opportunity suddenly comes. How can you miss it?
So as soon as Li Zhun finished speaking, he hurriedly stood up, shook his sleeves with both hands, and bowed to Chen Xiaotian and saluted, "General, I'm here, Zhang Huang, the fifth-rank partial general of the Jinling Prefecture Patrol Battalion, comes to see the general!"
Chen Xiaotian nodded and said: "Without courtesy, General Zhang, please tell me about the situation that day." Zhang Huang cupped his hands and said: "Yes! That day I saw the pair of thieves acting suspiciously. In order to find out their true purpose of coming here, I humbly Not afraid of danger, he personally took two brothers and lurked at the gate of the house."
Chen Xiaotian thought to himself: "Yes, here comes another person asking for credit and reward. He came just in time, one sheep is being driven, and two sheep are being herded. Letting these two people check and balance each other will be more beneficial for me to control them." Thinking of this, he twisted his hands. The beard smiled and said: "General Zhang leads the way, his courage is commendable!"
When Zhang Huang heard this, he felt very happy and said hurriedly: "General, I have overrated you. This is what I should do! As a patrol battalion defender, it is my duty to maintain law and order in the city. If the general has any assignments in the future, I should do this." I am willing to contribute the hard work of dogs and horses!”
After saying that, with sincerity on his face, he bowed and swept the ground, completely ignoring the vicious look cast by Wang Jiaoshou.
Chen Xiaotian stepped forward, stretched out his hands to lift Zhang Huang up, and said happily: "That's very good. I will inevitably trouble General Zhang in the future."
"General, if you have any missions, just give me your orders. Zhang will be utterly devastated and will fight to the death!"
Chen Xiaotian laughed and said, "I have General Zhang to help me. It's like Xiaobai meeting Guan Zhong. He can do great things!" When Zhang Huang heard this, he was shocked and thought to himself: "Chen Xiaotian actually compares himself to Duke Huan of Qi. Could it be that he is plotting rebellion?" Heart?"
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a shout, "That's enough! Don't forget what you are here to do!"
