Chapter 152: The Scapegoat


"Rong Lu, you dig out your heart and say, how do I Qiao Zhiqing treat you and Shengbao" Although Qiao Zhiqing's face was calm, there was a burst of murderous aura in his words.As soon as he heard what happened to Yan Yuting that day, his heart jumped up, but he didn't show it, but forced himself to endure it.He believed what Yan Yuting said, if it weren't for Shengbao's rudeness, Yan Yuting would not be idle and bored to kill Shengbao.This reminded him of what happened to Li Weier, who couldn't tolerate his woman being hurt in the slightest."

Brother Qiao, you treat me Ronglu and Shengbao like brothers, and I Ronglu also treat you as your eldest brother.But Shengbao's old horseman doesn't treat you as a brother, and he dares to be rude to your woman, he deserves to die, and Miss Yan is not wrong to kill him. ”Rong Lu complimented again and again, and his lips trembled with fright."

Well, you're a smart man, and it's not a matter of effort to talk to you.Don't worry, I won't kill you.Not only you, but the hundreds of thousands of Eight Banner soldiers who won the guarantee, I, Qiao Zhiqing, can pinch them into powder with my fingers, as long as the court doesn't force it too tightly, I, Qiao Zhiqing, will not do anything to you.Now there is an opportunity to be promoted and make a fortune in front of you, and it depends on whether you can seize it. ”Qiao Zhiqing sneered at Shengbao, like a lion staring at his prey."

The younger brother obeys the eldest brother's arrangement in everything, and the eldest brother asks the younger brother to do something, and the younger brother just does it, without the slightest complaint."

Rong Lu hurriedly responded, for fear that Qiao Zhiqing would retract what he had just said."

Well, you will immediately give a recital to the court, and say that Shengbao accompanied you in Jinkuicheng to investigate the change of law with the party, and encountered a sneak attack by the chaotic party, and the marshal Shengbao unfortunately sacrificed his life for the country, please make a decision quickly in the court."

Qiao Zhi finished speaking lightly, and asked the soldiers behind him to take a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone and put it in front of Rong Lu.Rong Lu's eyes rolled, and he didn't think about it, so he picked up the pen and wrote it on the paper according to Qiao Zhiqing's explanation."

Very good, then I will congratulate Rong Lu in advance."

After Rong Lu finished writing, Qiao Zhiqing picked it up and looked at it for a while, then put it away and congratulated Rong Lu with a fist."

What do you mean by Dashuai" Rong Lu's eyes widened in confusion."

After Shengbao's death, the imperial court will definitely find a reassuring person to continue to command the Eight Banners Army in Jinkui City, and I will definitely recommend it to the imperial court, and General Ronglu will take over Shengbao's position."

Qiao Zhiqing chuckled, stood up as he spoke, and prepared to go out."

Brother Qiao, if my Ronglu can really sit on the position of handsome, I will definitely follow you to the death."

Rong Lu hugged his fists in surprise and joy and knelt down for Qiao Zhiqing, and his heart almost jumped out of his chest.This matter is really running in time, not only is he fine, but he may also sit in the position of commander and lead hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and then Shengbao will also die well."

Marshal Rong will rest here for a few more days, and if the order of the imperial court comes down, the official will come to congratulate him in person."

Qiao Zhiqing sneered, turned around and strode out of the door.Yan Yuting glared at Rong Lu fiercely, pouted and followed behind Qiao Zhiqing's ass and went out.Rong Lu's face recovered suddenly, and he slapped the table excitedly and couldn't even close his mouth.After Qiao Zhiqing returned to the study, he added another letter of advice on Shengbao's future affairs, in which he said, "I was ineffective in suppressing bandits in Jiangsu, so that the rebel party took advantage of the loophole, lost the court general, and asked the court to punish the crime."

In addition, the army can not be without a handsome for a day, General Ronglu is young and promising, after the assassination of the commander of Shengbao, in the face of the commotion of the army, calmly responded, and appeased the generals in an instant, and now the military is looking forward to General Ronglu being able to take charge of the three armies, and I hope that the court will decide. ”After writing it, he hurriedly sent someone to send the two letters to the imperial court in an expedited manner for 800 miles.Three days later, the court received the news, the two palaces were furious, and the ministers were in an uproar.Urgently ordered Qiao Zhiqing to cooperate with Rong Lu to investigate the matter thoroughly, be sure to catch the culprit, wipe out the traitors, and temporarily appoint Rong Lu as the commander of the Eight Banners Army in Jinkuicheng, temporarily acting as all the positions of Shengbao.On the same day that the edict was issued, Qiao Zhiqing tortured more than a dozen opium trafficking prisoners in Jinkuicheng Prison to extract confessions, and coaxed them that if they took the initiative to bear the charges of assassinating Rong Lu, they would be able to make meritorious service and reduce their sentences afterwards, or even acquit them.Under coercion and inducement, the death row inmates finally signed and drew their confessions.After the charges were collected, Rong Lu led the dozen assassins into Katsuho's military camp and announced the news of Katsuho's assassination and the imperial court's letter of appointment.According to the confession, the death row inmates confessed the assassination to Katsuho's soldiers, and the soldiers were so excited that they killed the assassins on the spot.After Rong Lu distributed the 100,000 taels of silver given to him by Qiao Zhiqing to the generals, he won the unanimous support of the generals, and jointly wrote a letter of support to the imperial court.Qiao Zhiqing deceived these death row prisoners, even if Shengbao's soldiers didn't kill them, they wouldn't be able to live.The testimony of the rebellious party and the letter of support from the generals were soon transmitted back to the capital, and some people in the court were happy and some worried when they saw this sudden change.Katsuho is Prince Gong's person, although he is usually arrogant, but he is always raised by Prince Gong, and he has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and he is an important force of Prince Gong.But I don't know why, Qiao Zhiqing suggested that Rong Lu become the marshal, and the Empress Dowager agreed to Qiao Zhiqing's suggestion without thinking about it, which really made Prince Gong depressed and confused.Cixi was happy because of this matter, and originally just let Rong Lu show his face in Suzhou and gild his body, but he didn't expect an accident to be assassinated.Originally, there was no excuse to promote Rong Lu, but Qiao Zhiqing stood with Rong Lu for some reason, and now Cixi had something to rely on, and she fulfilled this good thing at the moment, and let her little lover take over Shengbao's hundreds of thousands of troops.The other bigwigs in the DPRK and China were all watching from the sidelines, and this matter was related to the change of power within the Manchus, and they were all wise enough to protect themselves and not express any opinions.After the letter of support for Rong Lu was sent to the imperial court, no opposition was heard.Rong Lu also inexplicably went from the wing commander of a god machine battalion to the position of a marshal all of a sudden.After things became calm, Yan Yuting breathed a long sigh of relief, and in the study, she stood obediently beside Qiao Zhiqing's desk, and spit out a sentence for a long time, "Brother Qiao, thank you, before you come back, I was always worried that you would scold me, and then you kicked me out of the house." ”"What do you think of Brother Qiao, for the sake of glory and wealth, even let your family be bullied by outsiders casually, did you do the right thing, Brother Qiao doesn't blame you, and rewards you heavily."

Qiao Zhiqing looked at her well-behaved appearance, couldn't help laughing, and comforted her softly.Yan Yuting listened to his words, but cried even more aggrieved, hung her head and wiped her tears and sat down on the couch."

What's the matter, didn't Brother Yuting Qiao say it all, don't you blame you for this matter" Qiao Zhiqing walked to her side for some reason, and sat down with her body.Yan Yuting sobbed, then snuggled into his arms, and asked sobly, "Brother Qiao, now that you have finally become a first-class member, the bet between you and Zeng Guofan will also be fulfilled, if you marry Zeng Jiyun, will you be so good to me" Qiao Zhiqing smiled bitterly, and finally understood what this girl was thinking, it turned out that she was worried about this matter."

Yuting, you said that Brother Qiao is not careful" Qiao Zhiqing stared at Yan Yuting's big eyes seriously, not joking at all.Yan Yuting burst into tears and smiled, broke away from Qiao Zhiqing's arms, and replied with a pout, "Huaxin, you are a big carrot, you like one when you see one, you want to gather all the beauties in the world by your side." ”Qiao Zhiqing smiled bitterly, he often asked himself this question, for him, who grew up accepting the idea of monogamy, he didn't know why after coming to this era, he provoked so many women to stay by his side.Yan Yuting, Pan Qiaoyu, Su Sanniang, Zhou Xiuying and Zeng Jiyun, each of them is a rare stunning beauty in the world, is it because of love or possessiveness that he keeps them all by his side "Then if Brother Qiao marries them all home, will you be happy" Qiao Zhiqing wanted to seek an answer on Yan Yuting's face, an answer to comfort himself."

Be happy, as long as Brother Qiao doesn't forget the love I gave me in the future."

Yan Yuting smiled stupidly, but there was pain on her face.Yes, which woman is willing to share her love with others, Yan Yuting is a saint from time to time, her love is also selfish, but when she faces Qiao Zhiqing's power, she can only choose to submit."

Yuting, thank you."

Qiao Zhiqing hugged Yan Yuting and closed his eyes quietly, very warm, very soft, and very comfortable.After Rong Lu sat on the position of the marshal of Shengbao, the whole person walked out of the shadow of the past, and his face was full of ambition.He is in a hurry to do something and show everyone who looks down on him in the court.After rectifying the affairs of the army and placing his men and horses in various important positions in the army, he went to Suzhou to talk to Qiao Zhiqing about his plans after reunifying the army."

Marshal, Marshal Ronglu is asking to see you outside."

Qiao Zhiqing and Yan Yuting were lingering in their work, and suddenly heard the communication of the soldiers outside the door, and hurriedly got up and tidied up their clothes, Yan Yuting's little face turned red and hurriedly retreated."

Let him in."

Qiao Zhiqing sat at the desk and gave an order to the soldiers outside the door.After a while, Rong Lu entered the study with a full face full of energy, and hugged his fist at Qiao Zhiqing as a greeting, "Brother Qiao, I haven't seen you for a few days, my brother just thinks about you, you can take a look at your brother's outfit" "Don't be poor, let's talk, what are you looking for me" Qiao Zhiqing looked up at Rong Lu, and shook his head with a chuckle, this stinky boy changed into a handsome armor, he was already strong, and he had a little bit of a commander's taste when he wore it.Rong Lu grinned and sat down opposite Qiao Zhiqing, and said to Qiao Zhiqing with a certified face, "Big brother, since the junior brother took charge of the army, he has been conscientious and has seriously rectified the bad habit of eating and drinking in the army.Now that the army is neat and morale is strong, the younger brother feels that it is time to do something. ”"Oh, what do you want to do" Qiao Zhiqing raised his head with interest and looked at Rong Lu indifferently."

Isn't it just after the Spring Festival now, the younger brother wants to take his brothers to win a battle, and show the group of people in the court who chew their tongues behind their backs, my Ronglu was born to lead the troops to fight, so that those who shout for victory and protection are dead
