Chapter 63: Retaliation is inevitable

Qi Yue's thoughts drifted away following the words of the two aunts. Zhao Zhao pulled her quickly away from the notice board and asked her in a low voice, "Qi Yue, tell me honestly, have you committed something? Murder or arson?"

"

"Don't guess what I might have done wrong." Qi Yue was in a bad mood and threw away Zhao Zhao's hand.

Zhao Zhao didn't believe it, "No? Look at the portraits all over the street. You don't have such portraits when looking for wanted criminals, right? What is your identity, Qi Yue, then... that lunatic doesn't dare to kill you, and there are people outside who are looking for you everywhere.

What kind of extraordinary person are you?"

"I said I didn't do anything. I'm just an ordinary person. Don't think nonsense." Qi Yue said impatiently.

"Okay, you have something to hide from me. You don't think of me as your brother," Zhao Zhao said with a sad face and began to sigh.

Qi Yue couldn't stand him anymore, "Oh, I'll tell you when I get the chance later. Now is not the time."

"Okay, you're right, you can't hide anything from brother," Zhao Zhao let her go with satisfaction.

The three of them found an inn to stay, planning to have a good night's rest and set out again early tomorrow morning. Finally, they found a bed to sleep in, and Qi Yue fell asleep almost as soon as he finished eating and went to bed.

Summer came early this year, but it’s only May and it’s already getting hot.

Everything in the imperial city was as usual. Shen Jinyu and Song Yao had been secretly investigating people in the court who might be Dong Tat. Following the clues of Concubine Wang Shu's entry into the palace at that time, they found out the person who made a false household registration for her and the family members she said.

But when Shen Jinyu and others arrived, all those people had been silenced, and the clues were once again cut off.

Lin Qingqiu was also puzzled, "Fang Ruzhen's body was secretly sent back by his subordinates, and it was left at the door of his house in the middle of the night. No one saw it, and even his parents didn't know. How could it be possible?"

No, is there a mole?"

The feud between Dongta and Dajin lasted for decades. A year before Lu Tao succeeded to the throne, the two parties temporarily sued for peace and a truce. However, in recent years, Dongta has begun to make moves on the border, and the winter on the Shuobei side has come.

Early in the morning, they may start a war at any time and break into Shuobei territory to burn, kill and loot in order to stock up on supplies for the winter.

For a moment, they were like headless flies, not knowing where to start.

"Kill," Shen Jinyu said these two words lightly, "I didn't want to keep these people in Changlin for a long time. Now that I know what I shouldn't know, let's get on the road. Also, Fang Ruzhen

How did you handle the matter? Why are these rumors coming out?"

As soon as these words came out, Shen Jinyu's expression changed instantly, and a gloomy murderous aura emerged from his body. He raised his eyes, his eyes full of sternness, "Who said that?!"

"Well, aren't we so exhausted from being in this position? Otherwise, guarding those cold swords and guns all day would be boring."

"You think the work you are doing is useless, then what's the use of playing cards and gambling in the Po Tian Army? Or is it more useful to cheat and bully the new comers? Or just give up the job and talk loudly about where to go in the future.

Is it useful to play with women in a brothel?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone who was kneeling felt guilty, and the person who originally argued confidently did not dare to raise his head at this moment.

Shen Jinyu also admitted generously, "I just hold a grudge, so what can you do? Don't forget, who is the master and who is the dog now? I wanted to take revenge on you, so I took revenge. What can you do?"

Lin Qingqiu's face looked ugly at the side. They did this in secret. How did this rumor come out?

"I asked you who spread the news?" Shen Jinyu repeated impatiently.

"You think I don't know what you are doing?"

"Hmph," Shen Jinyu sneered, "Boring? Frustrating? If you feel that you are not qualified, you can go out and find another job. There are a lot of people trying to come in and do your boring work. At the end of the day, are you useless, unable to do any physical work, and still dreaming of a bright future?"

"Then Mr. Shen, after all, isn't it just a matter of public revenge? You remember that we bullied you in Changlin, and now you are taking revenge." Someone who was not afraid of death said.

"Yes!" Lin Qingqiu accepted the order, quickly brought people in and escorted them away. Lin Qingqiu asked: "Sir, how should we deal with these people?"

"Master Shen is so unworthy of such a high status," the man said with a blush on his neck: "Master Shen is taking revenge now that he is in power. There have long been rumors that Senior Brother Fang Ruzhen was also killed by Master Shen. Yes, it seems to be true now!"

Shen Jinyu: "Future? What is a future in your eyes? Is climbing up to a high position the future? Then look at yourself, what is it about you that is worthy of the future you want?"

These complaints reached Shen Jinyu's ears. Shen Jinyu originally didn't want to deal with them anymore, but some people who were not afraid of trouble began to go on strike and quit.

Shen Jinyu interrupted him sharply, "You won't tell me, right? You must retaliate, right? Lin Qingqiu, put them in jail."

"Why don't we deserve it? If Master Shen hadn't placed us in these useless positions, wouldn't we be able to get ahead now? We have been working hard for a year, and it is our turn to change jobs. Alright?"

The man didn't say anything, he just said: "Sir Shen, you will be repaid for being so mean..."

"Master Shen, we are the first batch of people to join the Potian Army. Even if we have to work as coolies, we have been doing it for a year. The newcomers have all got good jobs. Why do we have to keep doing those hard and hard jobs? It’s a tiring and dead-end job.” The man kneeling at the front straightened his body and said.

Therefore, Lu Tao has been eager to expand his armaments in recent years.

Shen Jinyu had no choice but to find time to deal with those people. He ordered people to catch all the troublemakers and kneel in the check-in room. He sat on the chair and looked down at the people who had bullied him, nonchalantly. Said: "I heard that you are very dissatisfied with the work that I have arranged for you."

"Useless position? Which position in the Po Tian Army is useless? Even sweeping horse manure inside has its own use. It is related to the entire operation of the Po Tian Army. You don't even realize this, and you still want to go up. Climb?" Shen Jinyu's cold gaze swept across the people kneeling below, and sneered,

The enemy is in the dark and they are in the light.

In the past few days, the former Changlin disciples in the Potian Army who were assigned to do hard work by Shen Jinyu began to complain. They complained that the work they were doing was hard and tiring, they could not make meritorious deeds, and they had no future.

The man was frightened by Shen Jinyu's appearance, and stammered: "If you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing yourself. If Mr. Shen has nothing wrong with him, why would he be so excited!"

Shen Jinyu: "The inner ghost?"

This is the biggest possibility at present. Shen Jinyu is now a popular person in front of the emperor, and there are many people who are jealous of him. Using a trick to make him lose his heart is a good way to target him. But is it really that simple?

The only people who could know about Fang Ruzhen's treatment were his close confidants.

"Lin Qingqiu, please pay attention to the cronies around me and see if they have done anything strange recently."
