East Factory Governor

Chapter 442 Self-Innocence
Early the next morning, when Qin Shuhuai had just started to have breakfast, Chen Jing ran to say that Meng Hu was outside begging to see him, and he had been waiting for more than an hour since before dawn.

Qin Shuhuai knew what Meng Hu was here for, so he said to Chen Jing, "Let him in."

Not long after, Meng Hu entered the house.

Qin Shuhuai asked Chen Qing'er to add a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and then invited Meng Hu to have breakfast together.

Meng Hu wasn't in the mood to eat, but he ate a couple of mouthfuls out of affection, and then said to Qin Shuhuai, "Master, I'm here to ask a question."

Qin Shuhuai nodded, "Because of this question, you didn't sleep all night last night, did you?"

Meng Hu said bluntly, "That's right, my subordinate couldn't sleep at night, so I had to come to the door early in the morning to wait for you."

"Just ask."

Meng Hu paused, organized his words, and then asked, "Is the faction leader raising troops this time for the emperor, or for the world?"

Qin Shuhuai said calmly, "For the emperor, but also for the world."

Meng Hu frowned, and said, "This subordinate is dull, please explain in more detail to the leader."

"The emperor is the world, you don't understand that?"

Meng Hu was taken aback for a moment, and then the worry between his brows suddenly eased.

"So, the leader of the clan raised his troops for the sake of the emperor and Daming?"

"What you said is all nonsense. If not for the emperor, should I still be for you?"

Meng Hu chuckled, "Hehe, then I can rest assured."

With that said, he picked up the bun in front of him and chewed it.

Some people are very simple. If you trust a person, you will not doubt every word he says.

But Qin Shuhuai felt that Meng Hu was not.Meng Hu looks silly, but he is by no means brainless.The reason why he chooses to believe in himself is probably because only by believing in himself can he feel better.

Otherwise, standing between Chongzhen and himself, he will never be able to sleep.

Meng Hu swept away the steamed buns and porridge on the table quickly, and then kept saying that the rice cooked by his sister-in-law was delicious.Qin Shuhuai had no choice but to ask Chen Qing'er to serve some more porridge - he was not full yet.

After a while, Meng Hu suddenly remembered something, and said again, "Clan leader, since you are only raising troops for the emperor, do you want to explain to the brothers?"

Obviously, Meng Hu has seen some bad signs in the gang, and he hopes that Qin Shuhuai can suppress it.

Up to now, he thinks that only a few people in the Jianghe gang have the ambition to covet the world, such as leather dogs.

Qin Shuhuai put down his chopsticks, looked at Meng Hu, and said sincerely, "Old Meng, you have been in the Jianghe Gang for a long time. You should know that people in Jianghu are not interested in being loyal to the court, right?"

Meng Hu's face changed slightly, and he said, "K-Keep Jianghe gang belongs to the imperial court!"

"The Jianghe Gang belongs to the imperial court, but among the members of the gang, who would think that they belong to the imperial court?"

"This……"

"Old Meng, do you believe me?"

"Of course I believe you. We crawled out of the dead together. If you don't believe me, who do you believe?"

"If I don't rebel, neither will the Jianghe Gang. Do you believe it?"

"Believe it! Of course I believe it! The leader of the Jianghe Gang keeps his promises. Who would not accept it?"

"So, no matter what the people in the gang say, you just have to believe that with me, even if the Jianghe gang is a wild beast, it will definitely not be able to reach the Forbidden City! Now without the Jianghe gang, there would be no martial arts alliance. Without the Demon Cult, if the Demon Cult cannot be suppressed, Daming will be at stake, do you understand what I mean?"

Meng Hu pondered for a long time with deep brows furrowed, and finally nodded emphatically.

"Clan leader, I understand what you mean. The brothers in the gang are willing to work hard only for you. If you tell them to work hard for the emperor, they will not."

Meng Hu told the truth.

Qin Shuhuai did not deny this truth.

"Old Meng, it's best not to pass on the words of these people in the gang, otherwise it will be difficult for me to do it. You know the reason."

Meng Hu immediately said, "Don't worry, leader, if I wanted to say it, I would have said it earlier. I didn't say anything about you and the White Lotus Sect before. I dare not say it!"

Qin Shuhuai patted Meng Hu's shoulder with a wry smile, and said, "Long live the understanding."

After breakfast, Qin Shuhuai immediately set off to Liushi Academy in the capital to find Sun Chengzong.The reason why he went to Sun Chengzong instead of Chongzhen was because Sun Chengzong saw things more clearly than Chongzhen.As long as you explain it clearly to Sun Chengzong, Sun Chengzong will explain it to Chongzhen, so it will be easier to say.

Arrived at Liushi Academy in the evening.The people in the academy saw that the famous Qin Shaobao had arrived, and immediately welcomed him to the reception building.

After a while, Sun Chengzong hurried over.

Sun Chengzong is 67 years old, with dark circles under his eyes, bags under his eyes drooping, and a very bad complexion. It seems that he didn't sleep well last night.

The first thing he said after meeting Qin Shuhuai was, "Shao Bao, I heard that the Demon Sect is about to rebel?"

Qin Shuhuai nodded and said, "Mr. Sun Ge has heard what Meng Wei said, right? That's why I'm here today."

Sun Chengzong hurriedly said, "I said Shaobao, why don't you go and tell the emperor yourself about such a big matter? What's the point of going to this old man to talk about it? The emperor said it yesterday, why didn't Qin Shaobao personally go."

Qin Shuhuai smiled wryly, "Mr. Sun Ge, I'm afraid I'll quarrel with the emperor again."

Sun Chengzong was slightly taken aback, momentarily at a loss for words.

Qin Shuhuai said again, "Mr. Sun Ge, I came today to tell you something from my heart. I can't tell the emperor directly, so I have to tell you. I wonder if Mr. Sun Ge is willing to listen?"

Sun Chengzong said, "Qin Shaobao, if you have something to say, just say it, the old man just listens."

"Well, that's it, kid. Mr. Sun Ge, the first thing you want to say is that the rebellion of the Demon Cult has nothing to do with you. Please, Mr. Sun Ge and the emperor, don't listen to the villain's slander, and put this big hat on you." Put it on the boy's head."

Qin Shuhuai knew very well that he had a very close relationship with the Demon Cult, and that the timing of the Demon Cult's rebellion was just after Chongzhen had clashed with him. He said that Chongzhen and Sun Chengzong had never suspected that the Demon Cult's rebellion was instigated or instigated by him, and he would not believe it even if he killed him. .

So this time he had to come.

Now his situation is so embarrassing.It's ridiculous to think about helping Chongzhen fight the Demon Cult while at the same time proving his innocence.

But that's all he can do.

Rationally speaking, to achieve system tasks, cooperation with Chongzhen is the most convenient and least damaging way.Or else?If there is a rebellion, the four forces of the official army, the demon sect, the Manchus, and the bandits will be wiped out. How long will it take to fight?After the war, I am afraid that the country is almost finished, and you still want to come to the dynasty from all directions and create a prosperous world?In addition, from an emotional point of view, he did not want to meet Chongzhen in battle.

Sun Chengzong nodded slowly, and said, "The emperor and this old man naturally believe in Qin Shaobao."

In fact, from the moment Chongzhen received Meng Wei's urgent report, he almost instinctively suspected Qin Shuhuai.

Qin Shuhuai smiled desolately, "Sun Ge, don't say it so early, I know the emperor doesn't believe me that much. But it doesn't matter, this time I will personally lead the troops to suppress the demon sect, and he will naturally believe it then."

Sun Chengzong's expression changed slightly immediately, and he said, "Oh? Has Qin Shaobao decided to lead the troops in person? I don't know which battalion to lead, and what kind of support do you need from the court?"

"Hehe, Mr. Sun Ge, don't worry, I won't bring a soldier from the imperial court, I will only bring people from the Jianghe gang and martial arts. The soldiers of the imperial court should take good precautions against Jiannu and rogue bandits."

Sun Chengzong's face finally looked better.If Qin Shuhuai wanted soldiers from the imperial court, then he and Chongzhen would have something to study.

"That's very good. By the way, if Shaobao needs any assistance from the court, just ask. As long as the old man can do it, I will definitely help you."

Qin Shuhuai thought in his heart, even if I have spoken to you, how much can you give me?Might as well not!
Said, "Sun Ge's kindness, the boy appreciates it. But the court has difficulties, and the boy knows it. Therefore, the Jianghe gang will raise the money, food and soldiers for the expedition."
