Chapter 191: Overconfidence
As soon as these words were spoken, the Jinyiwei around all laughed.
Zhao Mo's face was horrible with anger, a hint of viciousness flashed across his eyes, and he stretched out his hand to kill Liu Sanniang.
Fortunately, Chen Huai was quick-witted and pulled her over, taking her to hide behind the Jinyiwei. Yang Xuan rushed forward and started fighting with Zhao Mo.
The two men fought fiercely, trying to kill each other with every move. Yang Xuan was worthy of being a Jinyiwei. After the fifteenth move, he kicked Zhao Mo in the chest, then cut off his hand with a knife and put the knife to his neck.
Zhao Mo screamed, looked at the severed hand on the ground, and rushed towards Yang Xuan in a miserable manner. He was pinned to the ground by several Jinyiwei. Chen Huai came over at this time:
"Zhao Mo, why don't you tell me what you did with the 130,000 taels that Pei An gave you? Do you have any accomplices? Tell me clearly, and maybe I can save your life."
On the way here, Chen Huai thought that it didn't seem like it would take so much money to bribe a eunuch, and the commander also needed to specially keep the letters between them, unless Zhao Mo had other uses for him. Thinking about the imperial seal, did they really intend to rebel?
Zhao Mo was pressed to the ground and sneered:
"Chen Huai, you dog eunuch, even if I die, I will not let you have an easy life"
After saying this, he made up his mind, pressed forward, pressed his neck on Yang Xuan's blade, and died on the spot.
Liu Sanniang was so frightened that her face turned pale and she covered her mouth and trembled.
Seeing this, Yang Xuan knelt down and said, "Sir, it was my negligence. Please forgive me."
Chen Huai helped him up and looked at Zhao Mo, who was lying on the ground with his eyes wide open: "Forget it, he asked for it, he can't blame anyone else"
Seeing that Yang Xuan looked unhappy, he patted him on the shoulder:
"It's okay. The emperor just promoted me today. I'll go back and say hello to them and get the official deed. You can just go and bring the person back."
Yang Xuan looked at Chen Huai in disbelief, tears gradually filling his eyes:
"Your Excellency, I am deeply grateful for your kindness to me. From now on, I will definitely follow your lead."
Chen Huai could see a handsome man crying, but he couldn't bear to see this big and strong man crying in front of him. He waved his hand and turned to Liu Sanniang and said:
"That's enough. A beautiful woman crying is really pitiful. You are a grown man, that's enough."
His elegant and graceful appearance stunned Liu Sanniang and also made Yang Xuan behind him laugh.
Yang Xuan waved his hand and asked them to take Zhao Mo's body away. He bowed and asked, "Superintendent, what about this woman?"
Liu Sanniang had just been saved by Chen Huai, and seeing that he was a humorous and handsome young man, she was grateful. She had served eunuchs before, and immediately gave Chen Huai a wink:
"Master, I am willing to follow you and serve you."
Liu Sanniang was over thirty years old, but still had her charm. If she hadn't been beautiful, Wu Shiliang wouldn't have given her to Zhao Mo. She thought the young eunuch would definitely accept her, but unexpectedly Chen Huai looked at her for a while, sighed, and took out a banknote from his pocket:
"Take it, find someone who knows how to live, and start over."
If there was no other way, which woman would be willing to give herself to a eunuch? Chen Huai's habit of being gentle and considerate to women came back again, but this time he was not taking advantage of them, but helping others.
Liu Sanniang took the banknote with some trembling, tears of gratitude flashing in her eyes: "Sir, thank you..."
"Go ahead, I won't let anyone embarrass you"
After saying this, he asked Yang Xuan to go to Zhao's house to deal with the aftermath. Seeing that it was getting late, the emperor probably took a rest and planned to go to the palace to report tomorrow.
Suddenly, Liu Sanniang grabbed him from behind and said, "Sir, I have something to tell you."
……
On the second day, in the study, Chen Huai presented Rong Cheng with the list with the official seal hidden in the jade Buddha.
"Your Majesty, this is it. Liu Sanniang was grateful to me for saving her life, so she gave me this jade Buddha.
According to her, Zhao Mo valued this thing very much during his lifetime, more than gold and silver treasures. It was because Liu Sanniang hid the jade Buddha that Zhao Mo did not escape in time."
Rong Cheng looked at the list of firearms with the official seal of the Quartermaster Department in his hand for a while with a heavy face, folded it up, put it in his arms, and said in a deep voice:
"Besides you, who else has seen this thing?"
"No, the jade Buddha servant broke it at home, and I was the only one who saw it, no one else saw it."
Seeing that he took it so seriously, Chen Huai deliberately asked:
"Your Majesty, this is just a list of firearms. There should be a lot of them in the Quartermaster Department. I don't think it's anything special."
Rong Cheng's eyes flashed with coldness when he heard this:
"Humph, it's true that the official seal is withheld, but if I tell you that I have no impression of this list and that this item is not included in the military funds allocated by the court, what will you say?"
Chen Huai's eyes widened: "Your Majesty, are you saying that someone is deliberately using the court to make firearms, with the intention of..."
Chen Huai did not say the word "treason" at the end, but Rong Cheng nodded affirmatively.
Apart from this, there is no other speculation. The raw materials for making firearms have always been controlled by the imperial court. Except for the Quartermaster Department, which has the opportunity to access them, outsiders have nowhere to find them, especially in such a large quantity.
Seeing Rong Cheng's heavy face, Chen Huai said in order to show his ability as the first confidant:
"Why not arrest the Minister of the Military Supply Department, Jin Jun, and interrogate him and we'll know the answer."
Rong Cheng reached out and patted his head gently: "Stupid, you know that stirring up trouble will alert the enemy, right?"
Chen Huai cursed inwardly, "How could I not know?"
Isn't this deliberately trying to highlight your wisdom? Why didn't you know before that the emperor had a violent habit? You gritted your teeth and turned your head away.
Rong Cheng felt a little amused when he saw his indignant and aggrieved look. He looked like a tall and handsome man, but sometimes he would reveal some cute expressions for no reason, which made people feel itchy.
He didn't know that the more he acted like this, the more he wanted to bully him.
Rong Cheng's lips curled up with a hint of amusement and changed the subject:
"This jade Buddha is Liu Sanniang's life-saving gift. How could she give it to you so easily? Could it be that she really likes you?"
This is obviously looking down on me, Chen Huai straightened his chest and raised his head:
"That's right, they even said they wanted to go into the mansion and serve the servants."
After he finished speaking, the emperor's face darkened, and there seemed to be a dark current in the depths of his eyes. The complicated Chen Huai was a little scared.
Thinking that he had indeed been a little too presumptuous in front of the emperor just now, he was about to open his mouth to make amends when he saw Rong Cheng in front of him suddenly change his expression, clench his fist to his mouth and chuckle.
"Heh... where do you get your confidence from? If someone likes you, stop flattering yourself."
The smile was indeed very pretty, but Chen Huai couldn't bear what he said. This hurt his self-esteem as a romantic Mr. Chen. His neck stiffened:
"How is it impossible? I'm good-looking, have a good figure, can make money and am considerate. Except..."
Suddenly he thought of himself as a eunuch: "There are other ways, too many. If she follows me, she will wake up laughing in her dreams."
When Rong Cheng heard this, his smile gradually faded. He looked at the overconfident man in front of him and said coldly after a while:
