Chapter 603 The Reason for Betrayal? Fa Zheng feeds Mao Jie a mini hamburger!
Nanyang
叶县
Mao Jie turned his head fiercely to glare at Fa Zheng and roared:
"I'm going to the restroom, and you want to come along?"
Fa Zheng smiled with a straight face:
"Yes, yes, if the governor accidentally falls into the pit, we'll have to call for help."
"With me by your side, at least the rescue will be more timely."
"you!!!"
Mao Jie was so angry his face turned green.
How could the Creator possibly create such a thing?
When this guy first joined the Ministry of Personnel, he looked quite respectable.
Now, things have gotten even worse; he's become the sixth of the sixth, or simply the sixth of the sixth!
Fa Zheng remained unmoved by Mao Jie's anger.
You're unhappy, huh? Then kill me! Do you dare?
Mao Jie stepped one foot into the toilet area, and Fa Zheng actually followed him in.
Suddenly, Mao Jie slipped and fell...
As if he had anticipated this, Fa Zheng pulled out a large megaphone and shouted into the vicinity:
"The prefect has fallen into a cesspool! Brothers, come quick and save him!"
Originally, Mao Jie was able to maintain a delicate balance with his light and agile movements, so that he wouldn't end up eating Lao Ba's secret-recipe mini hamburger.
After being shouted by Fa Zheng through the loudspeaker, Mao Jie instantly lost his balance and was about to fall!
Bloom like a flower, wither like grass.
More and more guards gathered here to rescue Mao Jie.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Mao Jie danced with a small hamburger, the yellow wax on his lips a testament to his gluttony.
Fa Zheng scratched his head, clearly regretting his actions.
"Your Excellency, it's all my fault. I called for help too early."
"It should have been later, so you didn't get to eat breakfast."
"Aaaaaaah! I'm going to kill you!"
Mao Jie leaped up, intending to chase after Fa Zheng, but then noticed that the yellow particles on his nose suddenly fell into his mouth.
This day became an unforgettable one for Mao Jie.
……
After cleaning up, Mao Jie returned to his study, and this time Fa Zheng finally stopped following him.
Relieved, Mao Jie picked up his brush and wrote a few words on the paper.
Seemingly feeling that this was inappropriate, he kneaded it into a ball again.
After repeating this process four or five times, I finally wrote down the content I was satisfied with.
But it wasn't until late at night that Mao Jie arranged for his trusted confidants to smuggle the letter out of the city via a back road.
He silently prayed that the letter would be delivered safely to Jizhou.
outside the city
Lu Xun's face was as cold as ice. He brought down his sword and severed the head of Mao Jie's trusted confidant.
But before Lu Xun killed this man, blood was already seeping from the corner of his mouth, indicating that he had poison in his mouth.
The letter was swallowed by this person first.
"Sir, shall we disembowel him?"
The guards from the Court of Justice standing next to Lu Xun asked.
"No need, it's better without the letter paper."
Lu Xun's face remained frosty.
But he had already thought of a solution in his mind.
evidence?
The people in the Court of Justice don't need evidence at all when they're doing their jobs!
Framing and framing can be used when necessary.
After all, how can a living person die from holding in their pee?
The Court of Justice, the Court of Imperial Guards, and the Court of Imperial Sacrifices colluded in their evil deeds.
Besides faction leaders like Zhong Yao and Hua Xin, there were also heads of powerful families in various states.
The remaining small karami are nothing compared to these three behemoths!
The moment Mao Jie sent his trusted confidant out of the city to deliver the message, he had already completely lost.
Fa Zheng's psychological tactics caused him to break down and lose his composure.
Xun Yu sent Fa Zheng and Cao Ang sent Lu Xun to form an investigation team, but their purpose was not to search for evidence to arrest Mao Jie.
Rather, it's to confirm whether he has truly betrayed us!
Once this is confirmed, the task is complete!
“Master, since you are away on campaign and have not yet returned, I, your disciple, will take it upon myself to clean up your mess!”
Lu Xun murmured.
Although Mao Jie and Su Yu did not have the same close friendship as Man Chong, Li Dian, Cheng Yu, and others.
But the relationship wasn't bad either.
Moreover, it was only a matter of time before Mao Jie was promoted to a high-ranking official.
This time, Xun Yu sent him to Nanyang, not because Ju Zong had fought for it, but more because of the old guard in Yanzhou.
Such a person, in principle, should not have betrayed us.
Perhaps... they've been staying at the Minister's residence for too long and can't wait any longer?
Or perhaps there are other reasons?
Lu Xun's thoughts were in turmoil until he entered the city and met up with Fa Zheng, at which point his mind gradually became clear.
"are you sure?"
Fa Zheng's expression was no longer as relaxed as it had been during the day.
Lu Xun nodded slightly.
The brief exchange left both of them in silence.
"Let's go and meet our Prefect."
"Perhaps he really has his reasons?"
Fa Zheng gave a bitter laugh, his eyes full of mockery.
Who would have thought that the staunch loyalists of Yanzhou, as seen by outsiders, would actually betray them!
What exactly is it for?
"Please do not take offense at my late-night visit, Prefect Mao."
Lu Xun knocked on the door of Mao Jie's residence.
The door was opened by Mao himself.
Seeing Lu Xunfa in full armor, with soldiers behind him wielding sharp blades, how could Mao Jie not understand what had happened?
Just as he was about to swallow the poison and commit suicide, Lu Xun flew up and struck Mao Jie on the back, knocking the poison out of his mouth.
"Prefect Mao, whatever your grievances or injustices, you should not die now."
"After all, you just chose the wrong side, not that you're going to destroy the world."
"If you don't think about yourself, shouldn't you at least think about your family?"
"Over the years, although you have been in the Minister's residence, you haven't had much time to enjoy yourself."
"But the lives of our people are getting better and better!"
"Your son, at such a young age, has already been granted an official position; his future is limitless."
"Are you sure you want your mistake to lead to the annihilation of your entire clan?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mao struggled violently:
"That's nice to say!"
"Do you think that if I tell everything now, Su Ziyi will let my people go?"
"He's ruthless and will definitely eliminate any potential threats!"
Lu Xun sternly rebuked:
"Who gave you the audacity to slander my master like this?"
"Since that's what you think, then I'll go and arrest all your people now, just as you wish!"
"All of this was done by me, Lu Boyan!"
After saying that, Lu Xun turned to leave.
Mao Jie's mouth loosened, and he finally shouted:
"I said, I said."
Fa Zheng sighed softly:
"Wouldn't it be better if this was done earlier?"
"We're all old colleagues from the Minister's office. I really don't understand what's bothering you that makes you so bold as to betray us?"
"Is it because your people aren't living well enough? Or is it because the Minister's Mansion has made you resentful?"
"But do you know what?"
"Your Excellency has already prepared a list. Even without Zhao Yan's affair, you would have been sent to Shu or Hanzhong to serve as an official!"
"Why...have to fall before dawn?"
Fa Zheng felt sorry for Mao Jie, even though he had just arranged for Mao Jie to eat a hot mini hamburger that morning.
"Ha...how could you possibly know my pain?"
Mao Jie's eyes were bloodshot as he spoke of his grievances and the coercion he faced from Ju Zong.
