MTL - You Are Not In Exile, You Are Clearly Traveling!-Chapter 106 piece

Chapter 106 Chess Pieces



After Guo Qiang heard that the exiled team was attacked by bandits, he was immediately overjoyed. He succeeded.

So, when he heard that Master Shangshu had found him, he was very excited and thought to himself, this time he can call him uncle!

When he arrived at Shangshu Mansion, he happily came to the hall. As soon as he entered, he saw Lord Shangshu drinking tea from a cup. He quickly suppressed his excitement, but walked in quickly.

 “Uncle...Master Shangshu!”

Guo Qiang saluted respectfully, but he raised his head and stared at Master Shangshu, with an expression on his face that said, praise me now, praise me now.

When Lord Shangshu heard the commotion, he put down his tea cup. When he saw Guo Qiang's expression asking for credit, he immediately raised his hand and slapped him.

Snapped!

Guo Qiang was stunned, covering his face, looking like he couldn't believe it.

“Uncle...why did you hit me?”

“Hit you?” Master Shangshu slammed the table and said angrily, “Not only do I want to beat you, I also want to kill you!”

Hearing the angry look of Lord Shangshu, Guo Qiang quickly took a few steps back and distanced himself from him.

“Uncle...Master Shangshu, why?”

 “You still ask me why? You are a guy who has failed to achieve anything but failed!”

"Why have I failed to succeed and failed more than enough?" Guo Qiang was unconvinced, "What about the Chen family? I have asked people to arrange for bandits to take action. I have received news that the exiled team has been attacked by bandits. Now Chen Home has already been..."

"So..." Master Shangshu interrupted him, narrowed his eyes and said, "So, you want to take credit, right?"

Guo Qiang didn't dare to speak anymore, for fear of being beaten again, but the expression on his face betrayed him, and that was indeed what he thought.

 “Look for yourself and see what stupid thing you have done!”

Lord Shangshu took out a zhezi from his sleeve and threw it towards Guo Qiang. Guo Qiang quickly caught the zhezi and opened it subconsciously.

 He was immediately dumbfounded.

 It was written about the exiled man being attacked by bandits, but it was different from what he knew, wrong, and different from what he imagined.

 He did not know the whole story. He only knew that the exile team was attacked by bandits and thought that things developed as he expected.

 After reading this excerpt, he knew what happened.

The above is what General Ping Wei reported to the court. The general idea is that a group of ferocious bandits attacked the exiled team, and many people including the captain of the yamen were killed.

 At first when he saw this, he was still a little hopeful. The captain of the government office was dead, so the Chen family would definitely not be able to escape.

 After all, if he hadn't arranged it, how could the bandits attack the exiled team, and the primary target of this group of bandits was the Chen family.

 However, when he saw the back, his face became very ugly.

It turns out that the Chen family had already discovered the bandits' attack, notified the captain of the government office in advance to take precautions, and also summoned the nearby General Pingwei.

Although the government officials did not stop them, General Ping Wei and others arrived in time to stop the bandits from going on a killing spree.

 It also prevented the court from losing face. Therefore, the Chen family not only did not die, but also made great achievements.

"this…"

Guo Qiang opened his mouth and was speechless. No wonder his uncle was so angry and scolded him for not succeeding enough and failing more than he did.

 This is... wrong, it's the fault of these bandits.

They are the ones who failed more than succeeded. Not only did they fail to kill the Chen family, but they lost their lives and gave them credit.

"Then...then the Chen family has made a contribution, isn't it..." Guo Qiangtian said with some worry. Whether the merit is big or small depends on how the court decides.

If the imperial court transfers the Chen family back, wouldn't it be...

"snort!"

Lord Shangshu snorted coldly, "Don't worry, the Chen family will not come back, and it is impossible to come back."

 “This is not important anymore. The main thing is whether you left any clues!”

 “Handle?”

Guo Qiang was puzzled, so he heard Master Shangshu say quietly, "According to the account of the bandits captured by General Ping Wei, someone asked them to attack the Chen family and the exiled team..."

When Guo Qiang heard this, a chill suddenly surged up from the soles of his feet. He knew what Lord Shangshu meant.

　　If there is any clue, then he will probably be abandoned. Even if he is the nephew of Lord Shangshu, he is just a chess piece that can be discarded at any time.

 “No, absolutely not!”

He quickly shook his head and retorted, "My people will never reveal our identities, and I silenced him the day after he came back."

“Let me trust you one more time.” Lord Shangshu returned to his chair and took a sip of tea. “Don’t deal with this matter anymore!”

 “Uncle…”

 Guo Qiang suddenly became anxious. He thought of what his uncle had said before. If he couldn't do it this time, he wouldn't need to call his uncle. When he thought of this, he suddenly panicked.

 Could it be that his uncle really abandoned him?

“Your Majesty, give me another chance. This time I will definitely not...”

"That's enough." Master Shangshu slammed the cup on the table with a bang, "How many times have I given you a chance?"

“Do you still want to give credit to the Chen family and keep giving them great credit until His Majesty changes his mind and reinstates him?”

"I…"

 Guo Qiang was speechless. He ransacked his home for the first time, but nothing was found. Instead, he gained a good reputation for the Chen family and made the people feel that Chen Yuan was unjustly accused of corruption.

 After that, Zhao Guang was sent to kill the Chen family, but there was no movement. I don’t know if Zhao Guang is dead...

The third time, he found someone to contact the bandits and tried to kill the Chen family with the help of the bandits, but in the end, the Chen family made meritorious deeds...

 Speaking of it this way, it’s really the same as what my uncle said...

Forehead…

　　 No, how could he give credit to the Chen family? His subordinates didn't do enough, so he just took the blame.

"I will arrange it myself this time!" Lord Shangshu stood up and stopped talking nonsense to him, "Get out of here."

 “Lord Shangshu…”

Guo Qiang was a little anxious.

"Shut up!" Master Shangshu's face suddenly darkened. "This failure, I will spare your life because you are my nephew. If you want to die, I can help you."

Guo Qiang suddenly didn't dare to speak anymore because he really felt the murderous intention.

 “But…”

Lord Shangshu changed the topic, "There are still people who are secretly investigating the disaster relief grain embezzlement case, and they say they have found a few witnesses..."

Guo Qiang didn't react slowly. He immediately understood what Lord Shangshu meant and decisively responded, "I'll deal with those witnesses."

"Okay, I have to deal with the Chen family, and I can't spare my hands for the time being. I'm just giving you a chance. If someone gets caught..."

"Don't worry, Lord Shangshu!" Guo Qiang said firmly, "If I am discovered, I will take all the responsibilities and commit suicide."

Lord Shangshu nodded and said nothing more. He was obviously very satisfied with his answer.

 Although he is his nephew, he is still a chess piece. How can he not squeeze out all its value?
