Chongzhen Chat Group

Chapter 178 Sharpening the Knife (Third Update)

Hu Guang ignored him. This kind of thing could not be explained clearly even if it was explained in the chat group. It was a waste of saliva. Anyway, they will meet him soon, and he will know that he has not lied to him.

Thinking about this, Hu Guang's consciousness withdrew from the chat group, then calmed down and thought about what he could say to earn more achievement points.

When Lu Ruipeng saw that Pudu Sentient Beings didn't answer again, he guessed that he was most likely a liar! If you recognize who it is, you must give him a good beating and let him know the consequences of lying to you!

However, at this time, he was helpless and lined up with his colleagues to go to the palace. Around them, there were either Dongchang officers wearing pointed hats, white leather boots, brown clothes, and small ribbons, or Jinyi guardsmen wearing black flying fish uniforms.

These factory guards held the hilts of their knives and looked majestic, supervising the defenseless men as they walked. It is also because of this that each of them is very frightened, not knowing what fate will greet them.

Not long after, they were taken to the square in front of Wuying Palace to line up. Several Dongchang stewards wearing round hats walked in the queue with cold faces, staring at these people, checking their appearance coldly from time to time, and scolding them immediately if there was anything bad about them, without any mercy.

Lu Ruipeng stood nervously in the front row. Although he kept his waist straight and his eyes not squinting, as his eyes moved, he still spotted a red-robed eunuch surrounded by a group of people in front of the palace. Looking at that posture, he vaguely guessed that that person should be Admiral Dongchang.

Seeing the factory owner's cold face, his heart suddenly started to flutter again. In order to get into Dongchang, people like him worked for him and spent money to get more credit for themselves. The factory owner would definitely be unhappy if he knew it. I don’t know how the factory owner will deal with people like him after enduring the emperor’s thunderous wrath.

When he was thinking wildly, suddenly, the managers of the East Factory all came out of the queue, got behind the factory owner, and walked to the left to meet him.

"The Emperor has arrived!"

Everyone knelt down and lowered their heads, feeling a lot more nervous at the same time. After all, the emperor's attitude determined their fate.

After a while, I felt that the emperor was sitting in front of Wuying Hall, and then heard a voice saying "Get down".

When Lu Ruipeng heard this, he was a little curious. This voice seems a bit familiar! As he stood up with his robe, a sudden flash of inspiration came to his mind. Isn't this voice very similar to the one that saved all sentient beings?

Is he the eunuch beside the emperor? Probably! He was very familiar with the chief assistant and had a relationship with Dongchang. When he heard about the cashier, he immediately reported it.

Thinking like this, Lu Ruipeng couldn't help but raise his head and take a peek at where the sound came from. But he found that the emperor was looking over here. He was startled and quickly lowered his head again, not daring to look again.

The place in front of Wuying Hall soon became quiet again. Just when Lu Ruipeng was secretly guessing who the Purdue Sentient was, he suddenly heard the familiar voice ringing again.

"You all made contributions in this battle to defend the capital. It's..."

When Lu Ruipeng heard this voice, he was sure that it was definitely the voice that saved all sentient beings. At this time, he knew clearly that the person speaking was the emperor of the day.

Thinking of this, his legs softened and he couldn't stand any longer and knelt down directly. For no other reason than he remembered calling the emperor a liar.

Suddenly, a sergeant knelt down without warning, which frightened the frightened comrades around him to kneel down too. And this caused a chain reaction, causing all the sergeants present to kneel down.

Hu Guang was stunned for a moment before he spoke. He didn't say anything. Why were they all kneeling?

When he realized that the man who knelt down first seemed to be the uglier among the sergeants. Well, there was a scar on his face that ruined his appearance, so Hu Guang roughly guessed the identity of this person.

Sure enough, right after, the system gave a prompt: "Ding, junior group member Lu Ruipeng has confirmed that the host is the Ming Emperor, please..."

Hu Guang did not hesitate, and immediately pulled Lu Ruipeng into the working group where Cao Huachun and Wen Tiren were. Then regardless of where they were kneeling, he continued: "I saw it with my own eyes at the top of the city. You ignored the danger and braved the arrows of Jianlu. Yu, head out to fight against the ferocious Jianlu. You have lived up to my expectations and done a great job!"

When they heard that the emperor was actually praising them, these sergeants were surprised and looked up at the emperor. But they saw the young emperor looking at them kindly with a kind face. Suddenly, for some unknown reason, they calmed down in panic.

"I once said that those who perform well in the defense of the capital will have the opportunity to join the Dongchang as a sergeant. This is my reward for you! I will not break my promise!"

When Hu Guang said this, he paused and glanced down. He saw that the eyes of many sergeants lit up, and then continued: "However, some people are taking this opportunity to make up lies to scare you, just to get rid of you." I can understand that you have finally won an opportunity to enter Dongchang with great difficulty. No one wants to lose it. Even if the family has no money anymore, they have to scrape together a sum of money..."

Hearing that the emperor expressed their feelings and said the key words, each of the more than a thousand sergeants forgot the royal etiquette and all stared at the young emperor on the throne, waiting for the next sentence.

"I just want to ask, why are you trying so hard to make contributions, but they still want to make a fortune from it? Are you willing to do this? When you pay for it, are you really willing? Your money, Did it fly from the sky?"

Most of these sergeants' family conditions are not very good, and money is also very precious to them. I remember the heartache I felt when I had to scrape together the money after being intimidated by those generals. All of them suddenly became excited. To be honest, they understood that after they worked hard and made great contributions, they could enter the East Factory. But who could be willing to be intimidated by their boss and pay extra money?

"Some people may think that these days, there is no way to do things without money! But I want to ask, don't you expect that one day, you can do things when you do things, without having to pay extra? Do you want to live like this? In an environment: everyone will do things when they have to do it, and they will never use this as a tactic to get stuck in someone's neck and ask for money, or transfer things that originally belong to you to others?"

"Think!" This time, without hesitation, these low-level soldiers responded loudly and almost in unison.

"Okay!" Upon hearing this, Hu Guang stood up from his throne and praised loudly.

He glanced at the newcomers who were serving as Dongchang servants below, and educating them before they entered Dongchang would have the most obvious effect. That's why he wanted to meet him in person.

I originally thought that I could write quietly during the typhoon, but I didn’t expect to take care of the children in the morning, and one chapter was missing from the plan. Then the two chapters will be updated together in the afternoon, probably around 17:00, and I will post them when they are finished.
