Chapter 709 No Fish, Shrimp Is Good ([-])

"This is indeed a shocking thing. To be honest, my eighth uncle, my nephew was stunned when I first heard it. Tsk tsk, the five cannons were thrown on the ground of the capital. If they fell on the little In the hands of others, there will be endless troubles. My nephew doesn't even dare to think about it. Alas, if Huang Mafa finds out, God knows how many heads will be moved. Thinking of this, my nephew really shudders. Shouldn't it be thoroughly investigated?"

Ba Ye was already terrified, but Hong Qing didn't give up, no, another series of words ruthlessly smashed into Ba Ye's heart like cannonballs, and even made Ba Ye's face burst into cold sweat endlessly.

"Investigate, investigate, hehe, I don't know how my nephew plans to investigate? Do I have to call some arrests from the criminal department to help my uncle investigate?"

After all, Ba Ye is not an ordinary person. Although he was flustered, he didn't completely lose his footing because of it. After rolling his eyes, he graciously proposed a sentence.

"This……"

Hearing Ba Ye's words, Hong Qing secretly laughed in his heart, but he didn't bring it to his face, but made a hesitant look and pondered.

"Nephew, don't worry, the manpower dispatched for my uncle is all elites, and they specialize in fishing at sea. They may not be able to use it for war, but they are undoubtedly good at investigating cases."

The reason why Ba Ye proposed to transfer personnel from the Ministry of Punishment was simply to take over the right to try the case. At worst, he had to play some role in the thorough investigation of the case. Qing went to make a fuss on her own, seeing that Hong Qing was hesitant, there was no reason for Eighth Master to try to persuade her.

"My nephew can trust my eighth uncle's words. Originally, the investigation of the case should be handled by the Ministry of Criminal Affairs. Who made my nephew unlucky? It's just an errand to review military expenditures. The big case is really unlucky, alas, it's hard to get rid of it."

With Hong Qing's shrewdness, how could he fail to see where Ba Ye's careful thoughts lie, but Hong Qing didn't say anything to point it out, but pretended to play the trick of putting his hands on a long line to catch big fish.

"Hehe, that's, that's, this case is too involved, it's really very tricky, and anyone who changes it will have a headache, it's just a good nephew, it should be fine if you think about it, but I'm afraid it will affect the good Nephew's serious errand, if this is the case, then it is not beautiful."

Ba Ye was thinking about how to snatch the trial right from Hong Qing. Hearing that Hong Qing seemed to want to let go, he immediately regained his energy, and hurriedly made a statement for Hong Qing's sake. .

"Who said no? No, there are only two days left in the time limit given by Huang Mafa, but..., alas, headache, headache!"

Hong Qing obviously accepted Ba Ye's forgiveness, spread her hands, and cried out in a cooperative manner.

"That's the truth. Well, Uncle Wei is in charge of the Ministry of Punishment. There is no shortage of manpower under him. Otherwise, my nephew can just go about his business. As for this case, Uncle Wei will take over for you. Don't worry. Uncle Wei will try his best to solve this case, and will definitely not make it difficult for my nephew."

Hearing that there is a point, Ba Ye couldn't help but feel excited, he clapped his hands hurriedly, and proposed a word in a hurry.

"Well, my nephew is very grateful for the kindness of the eighth uncle, but there are still a few things that my nephew is always worried about."

As soon as Ba Ye took the bait, Hong Qing was happy in her heart, but she still had a sad look on her face, she shook her head, and put on a posture of preparing to make a deal with Ba Ye.

"Oh? My nephew still has any difficulties, just speak up, as long as I can help my uncle, I won't let my nephew down."

Hearing Hong Qing's words, Ba Ye raised his eyebrows immediately, and made a promise generously.

"Since the eighth uncle said so, it would be a little disrespectful for the nephew to hide it. Hey, actually, it's not a big deal. When the arsenal was entrusted, that bastard took care of it in a mess. Now Even if this person has nothing to do with the incident, there must be a crime of negligence, and it is not appropriate to be the doctor of the arsenal, but this person is under the family of the fourteenth uncle, and the younger nephew wants to deal with him. I'm afraid the fourteenth uncle will be offended, the eighth uncle, look at this, alas, my nephew is really in a difficult situation."

Regardless of how much sincerity there is in Ba Ye's words, what Hong Qing wants is just a pretext. Since Ba Ye said so, Hong Qing will not be very polite at all, and without any scruples, she proposed to change the palm print of the arsenal Doctor's request.

"Well, what my nephew said is very true. It is indeed not suitable for Tuo Shi to take up the post of doctor in charge of printing. It's just that his occasional negligence, although it may be suspected of negligence, is not too much. It is better to give him a punishment and let him work in the Ministry of War. ?”

Tuoshi is a member of the Fourteenth Master, and the Eighth Master is not interested in him, nothing else, probably because the Eighth Master and the Fourteenth Master are now inseparable, but they still have a relationship of mutual use, which has not been made public. It's just a breakup, and whether to withdraw or change the entrustment is nothing more than a matter of indifference to Ba Ye. He is very happy to exchange it for Hong Qing to hand over the right to adjudicate the case. If fourth master's face should be pleaded for the time, eighth master would not hesitate to say a few words.

"Uncle Eight, it's not that my nephew admits to death. Since I have been entrusted with it, it is inappropriate to serve in the military department. According to my nephew, it is reasonable to let him go to the army to make amends. What do you think?"

Hong Qing is not so easy to talk to, if it wasn't for the old man's scruples about wanting to be safe, let alone a mere trusteeship, Hong Qing would dare to pull down even Eighth Master, so it is impossible for him to be moved by Eighth Master's words , One sentence will sweep Tuo Shi out of the house.

"Hehe, that's right. Let's do it according to my nephew's suggestion. There is nothing wrong with my uncle."

Ba Ye was hypocritical in the first place, how could he care about the life and death of such a pawn like Tuo Shi, now seeing Hong Qing being so tough, he immediately seconded the proposal.

"Eight Uncle thinks it will be done if it is good. Well, the arsenal is an important place. The front line is in full swing, and there is no shortage of people for a moment. After entrusting him to go, my nephew sees Lang Ningzhang, a member of the arsenal, as a loyal and talented man. Let him take care of the arsenal without any worries, what does Eighth Uncle think?"

Chasing away Tuo Shi was just to make room for her position, Hong Qing didn't want to just leave a confidant of the Fourteenth Master, and later replaced him with the direct line of the Eighth Master, and put forward a candidate for succession while the iron was hot.

"This... huh, my nephew is hard for my uncle. My uncle is only in charge of the Ministry of Punishment. I'm not very familiar with the affairs of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Officials. I'm afraid it will be difficult to intervene in this matter."

To Ba Ye, it doesn't matter if Tuo Shi lives or dies, but such an important thing as the arsenal cannot be easily given up. Facing Hong Qing's aggressiveness, Ba Ye can't refuse bluntly, so he can only play Tai Chi push hands.

"Hey!"

As soon as Ba Ye's evasive words came out, Hong Qing fell silent immediately, and didn't say any more, just smiled coldly.

"Nephew, please don't misunderstand. Uncle didn't say no to help. Although the matter is difficult, it's not impossible to think about it. Otherwise, it would be better. Nephew just keep the book, and Uncle will be the co-signer. That's it. Can become?"

Seeing that Hongqing remained silent for a long time, Ba Ye couldn't help feeling a little bit impatient. He didn't dare to risk Hongqing causing a scene, so in desperation, he had no choice but to propose in a negotiating tone.

"It's good to be so, my nephew just happens to have such an excerpt here, so how about asking my eighth uncle to write?"

As soon as Ba Ye's words fell, Hong Qing shook her hand, took out a copy covered in yellow silk from her wide sleeve, and handed it to Ba Ye with a smile.

"This..., don't be busy, don't be busy, I will follow up on what my uncle promised, but I don't know what my nephew thinks about the arsenal theft I mentioned earlier?"

Ba Ye is also a master who does not see the rabbit but does not spread the eagle. Before he can get the arsenal theft case into his own hands, he is naturally unwilling to sign a joint letter for Hong Qing's capital preservation, thinking that it is difficult to occupy Hong Qing's words. He simply gritted his teeth and clarified the matter.

"This case is extremely difficult, and it is beyond the scope of my nephew. If my eighth uncle is willing to take over, my nephew will be very grateful, but it involves the safety of the court and must not be ignored. If the five lost cannons cannot be recovered , I'm afraid that under the wrath of Emperor Mafa, it will be unfavorable to Eighth Uncle."

Hong Qing didn't even think about bringing down Eighth Master this time, and she didn't want to make troubles in her heart, but after all, Lao Shisan has been busy for so many days, so she finally needs to give some favors. Of course, helping Lao Shisan It is not advisable for Thirteen to take down the Ministry of War, and the old man will definitely not agree to it, but if he just takes down the arsenal, it is no problem. The so-called "no fish, no shrimp" is just such a rationale. As for the arsenal theft case Well, Hong Qing didn't intend to go into it. Hong Qing had no objection to Eighth Master's taking over, but she absolutely didn't want to be passed by Eighth Master just like that. Worried about Ba Ye, in fact, he offered a specific exchange condition, that is, it doesn't matter how the case is tried, and the five stolen artillery pieces must be recovered.

"Nephew, don't worry, you will do your best for Uncle Zi, and you will definitely not lose anything."

It is really a heart-wrenching pain to hand over the cannons that are in hand—not to mention the huge role these cannons will play in the future, but to talk about the huge price paid to get these cannons, It's enough to make Ba Ye feel distressed, but the current situation is so pressing, Ba Ye really doesn't dare to take it by force, so he can only give a guarantee in a vague way, thinking about stabilizing Hong Qing first After that, do another calculation.

"My nephew can always trust my eighth uncle's words, no matter what, the so-called not bothering the two masters, my nephew still has a copy here, so I can ask my eighth uncle to sign it together."

Hong Qing didn't make things difficult for Ba Ye any more, after pondering for a while, she shook her hands again, took out a copybook from her wide sleeves, held it in both hands, and handed it to Ba Ye.

A wry smile, a wry smile, after reading the two booklets in his hand, Ba Ye didn't know what to say other than a wry smile, nothing else, the feeling of lifting a rock to shoot yourself in the foot is really too bitter, Even though Ba Ye can be regarded as a person with super psychological endurance, he still can't help but feel a strong sense of sadness welling up in his heart...
