Kowloon wins

Chapter 379 Peeling Layers of Skin ([-])

The downfall of the prince is a major event. Neither the third master nor the eighth master can bear such a heavy responsibility independently. It is not for other reasons, but because the prince at this time can be said to be a knife in the hands of the old man. Prince, that is slapping the face of the old man. Anyone who dares to do this early bird will be punished by the old man to death. But if all parties work together, the situation will be different, probably because The law does not blame the public, no matter how much dissatisfaction the old man has, he will definitely not be able to overturn the whole boat. Of course, the instigator may still be unable to escape the hatred of the old man.

Hong Qing knew this very well, but he didn't mind being secretly hated by the old man, nothing else, he was not an elder brother, he was just the son of Prince Cheng's family, no matter how annoyed the old man was , but it is not easy to use heavy hands to punish. Besides, Hong Qing acts on the absolute height of morality. After all, as for the loss of the holy family, it is not too difficult to recover, at least in Hong Qing's view, it is nothing more than idleness, as long as you calm down for a while, and then make a big contribution, it is enough to calm the old man's dissatisfaction Yes, Hong Qing has already been prepared for this, and she doesn't take it very seriously, but no matter what, it's impossible for Hong Qing to take advantage of Baye's side for nothing. He is not Hong Qing anymore.

"It's difficult. It's not that my nephew said something depressing. I'm afraid the current situation can't be controlled at all."

With Hongqing's ability to observe facial expressions, she could see the psychological changes of the old fourteen at a glance, and she laughed secretly in her heart, but her face showed a distressed look, she shook her head and sighed with emotion With a sound.

"It's only difficult, so we need to work together. If not, wouldn't the villain be complacent for nothing? Brother Qing, aren't you afraid?"

Since he had decided that there was a chance to bring down the prince, Old Fourteen refused to let it go. Seeing Hongqing sighing and sighing, he couldn't help but feel a little unhappy, so he spoke provocatively.

"Does Fourteenth Uncle think that my nephew is a timid person?"

Although she saw through Old Fourteen's tricks at a glance, Hong Qing was still willing to cooperate, so she made an extremely displeased look and gave Old Fourteen a bad look , let out an extremely dissatisfied voice.

"Hahaha..., come on, it's alright if you're wrong. Hey, Brother Qing is a well-known 'official butcher'. Only people are afraid of you. There's no reason why you should be afraid of others. This head office Right? Hahaha..."

What the old fourteen wanted was to inspire Hongqing's "courage" to fight. As for Hongqing's white eyes, the old fourteen didn't care at all. Then, she laughed and teased Hong Qing.

"Uncle Fourteen is going to make fun of it. If there is no news about this case within three days, then there is no need to think about it later."

Hearing that the old fourteen was making fun of her official nickname, Hong Qing couldn't help feeling very upset. How could the old fourteen be so proud, so she sneered and gave a rather Sensational assertion.

"Huh? How do you say this?"

The old fourteen was enjoying himself, when he heard these words suddenly, he was taken aback for a moment, the laughter stopped immediately, his brows frowned, he tilted his head, and looked at Hong Qing suspiciously for a while, seeing Hong Qing didn't look like she was joking, her heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly asked a question.

"Does the Fourteenth Uncle think that His Highness the Crown Prince will just ignore this case? Hey, if my nephew's predictions are not bad, I'm afraid that His Royal Highness's memorandum is already on the way to Jiangnan. If Huang Ma's law is true After what he said, uncle Fourteen should be able to figure out what happened next without my nephew talking about it."

Hong Qing didn't say anything clearly, but just mentioned something, which made the old fourteen's face darken in an instant. Obviously, he also understood the crux of the matter - the old man wanted to borrow a knife, so naturally he couldn't let the knife Just like that, once the crown prince is on the book, the old man will definitely not reject it, but will only condone the crown prince's sinister deeds. As for the case of the emperor's tomb, it seems that the truth will be revealed now, but if the crown prince's confidant Going to trial, it will definitely not be a good result. Even if you don't take the opportunity to turn the case over completely, it is not too difficult to settle the case in a perfunctory way. There is nowhere to make trouble.

"Well, Brother Qing's words are justified. The case really cannot be postponed, and it must be done with thunderous means. I don't know if Brother Qing has any concerns about this?"

Old Fourteen is a sensible person, so Hong Qing didn't need to explain the truth thoroughly, he could reason out the strangeness, his brows immediately frowned, and he made quick calculations, and then he was cautious. asked a word.

"Do you care about it? Yes, it's just..."

What Hong Qing waited for was the old fourteen's words, but what, the secret joy in her heart turned to secret joy, but Hong Qing couldn't easily vent her old bottom, but put on a embarrassed look, hesitating only Speak half of the words.

"Oh? Brother Qing, is there any embarrassment? Why don't you tell me that it will come out, so we can discuss it."

Old Fourteen has dealt with Hong Qing a lot in these years, and they are very familiar with each other. Seeing Hong Qing's hesitant to speak, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. Si has already heard the meaning of it, there is nothing else, it is just to blackmail benefits, but the fire will return to the fire, but the old fourteen has no choice but to walk away, probably because the case of the emperor's tomb has been overturned It is one of the best opportunities for the crown prince, and the old fourteenth cannot and will not miss such a good opportunity. Because of this, no matter how unwilling he is, he can only follow Hong Qing's wishes and frown tightly. .

Ha, this guy is quite interesting, hey, seeing that you dared to scheme against my master last time, this time my master is not polite to say anything, you have to get back your capital and profits together!
Before leaving Beijing last year, the old fourteen had entertained Hong Qing once in a hypocritical manner. If it hadn't been for Hong Qing's trip to the emperor's mausoleum went smoothly, and the case was solved with almost no delay, the old fourteen might have been killed by the old man. The fourteen pits have been dealt with, not to mention other things, a private accusation is enough to make Hong Qing drink a pot of water - if the case of the emperor's mausoleum is delayed for a long time, in order to ensure that the crown prince will not break it down Well, Hong Qing really had to join forces with Ba Ye to suppress Mu Chun'a and the others. Once things got serious, Hong Qing would definitely be the one who was beaten by the old man. The most important one, now, even though this incident is unlikely to happen again, Hong Qing has no intention of forgetting the enmity that should be remembered. of.

"Actually, it's nothing. Hehe, Uncle Fourteen must have heard about it. Cheng Pengyue, the admiral of the Guangdong Navy, is seriously ill. He has already signed up and said that he will be dismissed and returned to the field. Once he leaves, the job vacancy will come out. My nephew." I think Sun Mingxu, Admiral of the Guangdong Navy, is good, or the best candidate to take over the post, so I don't know what Uncle Fourteen thinks?"

Since the old Fourteen had put on the posture of wanting to be slaughtered, Hong Qing naturally would not be very polite at all, after a haha, he stretched out his hand without any scruples.

"Well, this person is quite capable, but his age and qualifications are a little less. It is easy to handle the military department, but I am afraid that the crown prince will not be able to pass."

The old fourteen is a caring person. After all these years as an assistant to the Ministry of War, he has really worked hard. He knows the resumes of the generals above the generals of the Qing Dynasty. As soon as Hong Qing signed up, he I have already remembered the origin of this person-Sun Mingxu is no one else, but the eldest son of Sun Chengwu, the chief shipping officer of the Eight Banners Company. When Hongqing bought the Macau shipyard, he had arranged Sun Mingxu into the navy. After the Qian Zongwen document that was extorted from Ba Ye, Hong Qing secretly deployed it several times, so that Sun Mingxu was promoted to three ranks in a few years, and he became a general, even though it was not Hong Qing's on the surface. The servant of the sect is actually Hong Qing's confidant, like this kind of person, the old fourteen naturally does not want him to climb to a high position, even though the Guangdong Navy is actually just an empty office now, and his name is not very important. A decent fleet, but the rank of the admiral is already at the second rank, and he is an out-and-out senior general. Of course, the old fourteen does not want to do such "helping others", so he pondered Objections were raised.

"It's okay, Uncle Fourteen can just push it up. Whether it succeeds or not depends on God's will. As for the so-called seniority, hey, please forgive my nephew for saying something ugly. Those who rely on seniority to get promoted will definitely have nothing to do." They are mediocre, and few of them are useful, Uncle Fourteen, you seem to be under twenty?"

The current Guangdong navy is a mess, the ships are just a few small and broken boats, and the soldiers are no more than a thousand. It is said that it controls the Guangdong and Guangxi sea areas. In fact, let alone Guangdong and Guangxi, it is the coast of Huizhou, Guangdong where the navy is located. The navy can't even take care of it, and the position of admiral of the navy naturally has nothing to say. However, the status quo is the status quo, but it doesn't mean that it will continue to be the same in the future. In fact, how to build a powerful navy has already been discussed. It was in Hongqing's plan, and she was secretly preparing for this matter. She only waited for the time when the Guangdong Navy would undergo an earth-shaking change. This idea is still a secret. Hongqing naturally He wouldn't explain it to the old fourteen in detail, so he just took the old fourteen's army with a smile.

"Come on, you little brat, let me tell you about the matter, don't you ask for a beating? Well, the matter at the Ministry of War is up to the Lord, but after the report, it's up to you, Brother Qing, to do your best. Well, it should be done this time, right?"

The old fourteen was very alert, quickly calculated the gains and losses, and decided that the position of admiral of the Guangdong Navy was worthless, and it was almost negligible compared to the great benefits of defeating the prince, so he would not be here Having a hard time with Hong Qing, she laughed and cursed, and readily agreed to Hong Qing's request.
