The next morning, the governor's mansion

"Oh haha"

Fang Da got up early one morning, came outside the house and stretched his arms, then punched a turtle punch into the air, and suddenly felt very energetic.

"Master, big things are bad, adults"

At this moment, a guard rushed to Fang Da and reported the report with a nervous look on his face.

"What kind of erratic behavior is like? What happened? Is the sky falling down?" Fang Da was very dissatisfied with the guard's performance. He immediately scolded him fiercely, and then asked, "What's the matter?"

The guard bowed his head and replied: "Mr. Governor, Tang, Deputy General Tang was killed last night and was killed in Yihong Courtyard."

"What did you say?" Fang Da picked up the guard's clothes and widened his eyes and shouted loudly: "You said Tang Jue is dead? How is this possible? You know that Tang Jue's martial arts are the leader among all the military camps of Liyuan, how could he die? How did he die? How did he die?"

The guard patted Fang Da's palm, and after he relaxed a little, he said breathlessly: "When the governor said, the person who killed Tang Jue was done by a man named Geng Gong, who came to join us yesterday, who came to join us!"

"Wang Chen? Geng Gong! Damn it!" Fang Da roared, pushed the guard away, and shouted loudly: "For the loss, the governor trusted them so much. They dared to kill my deputy general and immediately ordered someone to capture Wang Chen alive. Geng Gong and take all their troops into custody!"

The guard said, "No need for the governor. Wang Chen is outside the door now, and he will take those two hundred people to wait for the governor. You will go and leave in person."

Fang Da frowned when he heard this: "Hmm? Are you saying that Wang Chen and his men are waiting outside the mansion for the governor to leave?"

"That's right!" the guard replied, "Wang Chen felt guilty of the trust of the governor. After hearing this, he took everyone to apologize before dawn."

Fang Da frowned, paced back and forth in the yard for a while, and then said to the guards: "I understand, please change my clothes immediately. I want to see how Wang Chen explained to me!"

Outside the gate of the governor's mansion, two hundred people were fully armed and stood motionless in the bitter cold wind. The surrounding local officials and soldiers looked at them nervously. Many people rubbed their frozen hands from time to time and whispered to each other, without any awareness that a soldier should have.

Fang Da came to the governor's mansion in anger. He was about to scold him, but when he saw the two hundred straight people standing outside the mansion hall, he was shocked, stopped what he wanted to say, and stared at them in a daze.

As soon as he saw Fang Da appear, Meng Gong immediately stepped forward and bowed and said, "Governor Fang, we have committed a heinous crime. We will bring two hundred brothers to apologize to you. If you want to kill and cut, you will be punished. I will never regret it!"

Fang Da came to his senses and took the guards beside him to Meng Gong a few steps closer, asking in a deep voice: "General Wang, please explain to this governor, what's going on? Why do you want to kill Tang Jue?"

Meng Gong raised his head and said, "Reporting to the governor Fang, it is all the generals who are incompetent in discipline. Yesterday, his subordinates saw that General Tang had bad intentions towards General Tang, and after leaving the governor's mansion, he threatened to teach General Tang a lesson.

The general did not take it seriously, but just scolded him a few words and passed it over. But he never expected that he would actually go to General Tang to argue, and he didn't expect that such a disaster would be caused. The general Mo Zheng was so regretful."

Fang Da stared at Meng Gong suspiciously, glanced at the solemn military appearance, and asked, "It's because of this that he killed Tang Jue? Do you know that Tang Jue has been following this governor for ten years?"

Meng Gong sighed and said, "Governor Fang, there is no need to say much. All the mistakes are the last general's fault. If you are angry, behead us two hundred people together and show them to the public. We will never have any complaints."

Fang Da looked at Meng Gong's "sincere" face and didn't know what to do with them for a moment. After thinking for a while, he said to Meng Gong:

"Let's do this, General Wang, I am a governor, and you can't blame you for this matter. As long as you hand over the murderer Geng Gong to the military law, what will happen to this matter for the time being?"

However, as soon as Fang Da finished speaking, the solemn military formation immediately made a lot of noise:

"Geng Gong is our brother, I will deal with it together with me!"

"Yes, let me tell you the truth. I also had a share of the ticket last night, and I would die together."

"If you want to kill Geng Gong, cut us first."

Faced with this noisy situation, Fang Da couldn't help but take two steps back and hide behind the guards. He never expected that the group of soldiers would be so united. This was the atmosphere that was not found in the old army, and he was a little at a loss for a moment.

At the critical moment, Meng Gong shouted loudly and stopped them: "Shut up! Governor Fang trusted us so much and gave us a place to settle down,

But what about us? It’s a shame to kill the general whom Lord Fang is most valued because of some trivial matters in just half a day.”

After saying that, he faced Fang Da again and said loudly: "Please don't worry about it, no matter how you deal with it, we will definitely not have any complaints!"

Fang Da couldn't say a word, obviously he was shocked by his military posture in front of him.

Just as he was making things difficult for this, whether to put these two hundred people on the spot to rectify the Dharma, a very respected guard bent over him and said:

"Mr. Governor, since Tang Jue is dead, this matter is over. It is useless to pursue it. Moreover, since occupying Yunzhou City, Tang Jue has disobeyed your wishes everywhere.

In private, he kept buying the morale of the army. His subordinates suspected that he had ulterior motives and had long wanted to replace you. Now that he is dead, he has a heart. Besides, you have seen him, Mr. Governor,

Although Wang Chen's troops have only two hundred people, they are afraid that they can each take ten. What I lack in the city is such elites to serve them. It is better to be generous once and let them lose their merits."

Fang Da nodded slightly when he heard this, feeling that what the guard said was very reasonable. In fact, he was also very dissatisfied with Tang Jue, but he didn't break up because of his face. Now that Tang Jue is dead, it may be a good thing. In the future, Yunzhou City will be the final say.

Thinking of this, Fang Da immediately straightened his clothes and looked like a Shangguan posture, pushed away the guards blocking him, and said to Meng Gong:

"General Wang, the matter has come to this point, and it is useless to pursue it. But from now on, you must obey the orders of this governor. If you dare to do anything wrong, you must do military law! Do you understand?"

When Meng Gong heard this, he bowed and said, "Thank you, Governor Fang for his magnanimity. Wang Chen is willing to sacrifice his life to repay Governor Fang for not killing!"

"Sacrifice your life to repay the kindness of governor Fang for not killing!"

Two hundred soldiers shouted in unison, and the warm atmosphere instantly dispelled the coldness of winter.

At this moment, Fang Da felt that he had a broad mind and seemed to have a turtle-like energy in his body.

In order to show his mind, Fang Da simply acted as a good person to the end and said loudly to Meng Gong and his two hundred people:

"In fact, this is also the fact that this governor is inappropriate in his consideration. The elites and others are sincerely in the same way, but this governor is so neglecting you. Now the Japanese governor will arrange for you to rest well, so that you can rest."

Since Fang Da wants to win people's hearts, Meng Gong doesn't recommend giving him some rainbow farts: "Thank you, Governor Fang, for a lot of money, Wang Chen is so grateful!"

Fang Da nodded and waved his head and said, "Okay, don't hold it all up. It's not good to stand here in the cold weather? Let's go back and have a good rest first. Wait for two days to recover and arrange errands for you."

Then, he gave a look with the guard beside him. The guard understood it and led Meng Gong and his two hundred people to the open place.

After arriving at the new open-air place, Meng Gong's subordinates left only Geng Gong, himself and his personal guard.

But the guard said, "General Wang, are you still satisfied with this matter?"

Meng Gong bowed and said, "I am really grateful to the junior high school for his good words to the governor Fang today. Otherwise, I am afraid that the leader would be in danger."

"It's easy to say," the guard laughed a few times, then stretched out his hand and weighed it.

Meng Gong slapped his head, then took out a bag of money from his body and handed it to the guard: "I don't mean anything but respect. These yellow and white property rights are used to give tea to the school."

The guard weighed the bag, then opened it and saw a horseshoe-shaped gold nugget inside, which was five taels, probably as many as fifty taels.

"Thank you, General Wang, you are really credible and generous!" The guard looked at the gold in the bag and smiled, and kept thanking Meng Gong, "If you have any difficulties in the future, just come to find the young man. If you can help, you will do your best."

"It must be certain," Meng Gong bowed and said, "There are still many places that need to be used in primary schools in the future, so please take care of them."

The guard stopped and squinted his eyes and said to Meng Gong: "Don't say anything, the limelight has basically passed now. Find opportunities to accompany us as the governor.

If he says a few more compliments, he won’t take it seriously. After all, Lord Fang likes to say good things to him. OK, I have to go back and reply to my death. I will have a chance to chat.”

Meng Gong stood up and sent the guard out of the house. After his figure disappeared from his eyes, he immediately closed the door and returned to his seat.

"Geng Gong, your injury doesn't matter, right?"

Seeing Geng Gong covering his chest and frowning slightly, Meng Gong asked with concern.

Geng Gong shook his head: "It's okay. I've drunk the medicinal wine to treat internal injuries that I carry with me, and now it's much better."

Meng Gong said in annoyance: "It was also my negligence. I didn't expect that Tang Jue's martial arts were so domineering. Tang Jue's martial arts skills were both strong and soft.

I don’t expect that after so many years, he has not been abandoned at all. He almost lost his life. Alas, it’s all my negligence.”

Geng Gong hurriedly advised: "General Meng, don't blame yourself. Now that Tang Jue is dead, there is no need to mention this matter. But my subordinates really didn't expect that your move to retreat and advance would work."

Meng Gong smiled and said, "This Fang Da is just a man. In addition to making money, his greatest ability is to like to learners and embrace all kinds of rivers. So I took the trick and decided to admit my mistakes on my own initiative. In addition, I bribed his confidants, and went there today, and I was destined to be safe."

Geng Gong nodded and said, "General Meng is really both wise and brave. I admire him, but what should we do next? There are only two days left before the appointment with General Cheng."

Meng Gong glanced at the corner of his mouth: "Tang Jue is dead, this Fang Da will be much easier to deal with. You should recover well. After two days, we will wait for your health to recover."

Meng Gong called Geng Gong in front of him and muttered in his ear for a while
