65: Chapter 65 Today the Sky Is Truly Blue

65 -65 Today the Sky Is Truly Blue

But for a moment, he couldn’t quite understand where exactly the problem lay.

After all, this fellow had long been accustomed to being arrogant and domineering within the Right Martial Guard, so he didn’t find anything wrong in having all the money handed over to him.

Thinking about it, he felt a bit smug in his heart.

This time, not only did he suppress the Emperor, he even got his hands on some silver.

However, as soon as Lin Yi finished speaking, the scene plunged into an unprecedented hush.

The silence was even more intense than before; one could almost hear the heavy breathing.

To Chen Baicheng, this eerie stillness seemed to be the subordinates’ fear of him.

He felt even more proud, considering his prestige within the Right Martial Guard was unmatched.

Given the current situation, it seemed as if the soldiers would willingly give their lives for him at just a word.

Yet, this oppressive silence only ignited Lin Yi’s excitement even further.

This time he did nothing but simply watch in quiet anticipation, waiting silently.

He was waiting for the eruption from the people below.

He could afford to wait, but Chen Baicheng clearly could not, and walked straight forward, scanning the crowd with a satisfied gaze, then spoke in an extremely arrogant tone:

“Alright, cut the dawdling, each Main General leads the way.

Within one hour, gather up all the silver.”

At this moment, in an inconspicuous spot, a man with a rather ordinary appearance and a somewhat harsh look could no longer contain himself.

As soon as Chen Baicheng’s voice fell, the man fiercely smashed his weapon onto the ground, then, with courage from who knows where, shouted out loud:

“On what grounds??

On what grounds should the reward silver I worked hard for be handed over to you?

On what grounds do you just return and reclaim it?

For what reason do you, upon your return, strip away the official rank I toiled so hard to earn?

I don’t accept this!

I, Wang Ergou, am the first to rebel!

Brothers, are you willing to hand over the silver in your hands?

Are you willing to lose the official positions you’ve already achieved, just because of him, Chen Baicheng?

All these years following you, Chen Baicheng, through thick and thin, always dedicated and hardworking, but what is the end result?

Not to mention the clearly received promotion and rewards have been canceled, but just the soldiers’ bounty silver alone, you dog, want to claim it for yourself!

Since you had already left, why did you come back?

Wouldn’t being the Commander of the Imperial Guard be good enough for you?

Why would you come back to exploit us?

Are you still human?

I, Wang Ergou, am the first to refuse to give my life for a person like you!

”

Boom!

With these words, the originally calm scene suddenly erupted.

The thousands of people below immediately boiled over, each beginning to whisper to each other in low voices.

Moreover, the Main Generals were leading the discussions.

Their faces were full of indignant resentment, full of defiance.

Although many didn’t recognize this Wang Ergou, it had to be said that his words had directly struck a chord with everyone present.

Even those who were originally indifferent were suddenly enlightened by Wang Ergou’s outcry.

Especially when they recalled the years where they could barely receive their army pay, it made them feel even colder.

Although they had always thought the non-payment of army pay had nothing to do with Chen Baicheng, after all, that was the court’s business.

But now they have suddenly discovered that while they themselves lack military pay, that Chen Baicheng has become increasingly wealthy!

These men, though simple-minded, were not fools.

Once someone took the lead in suggesting this, they quickly grasped the ins and outs of the matter.

Perhaps there had never been a shortage of military pay at all; perhaps, after the court allocated the funds, Chen Baicheng pocketed it all.

Otherwise, why would he become richer and richer?

Upon closer reflection, it’s terrifying—when you brood over issues, they grow worse.

Especially when so many people indulge in wild speculation, they naturally attributed many baseless incidents to Chen Baicheng.

Even if he wasn’t the one who committed them, now it seems that he surely did.

It can be said that the words of this guy named Wang Ergou directly served as the last straw that broke the camel’s back.

And Chen Baicheng, who was in the stands, was initially stunned when he heard Wang Ergou’s statement, then rage immediately surged to his head.

His gaze also turned furious as he began to search the crowd for the person who had spoken.

However, it was obviously too simplistic of him to do so.

Although Wang Ergou had shouted those words, his location was extremely concealed.

He was standing right behind a large tree.

Coincidentally, he was completely blocked from Chen Baicheng’s line of sight by that tree.

By the time Chen Baicheng wanted to thoroughly search out this person and have him executed on the spot, the crowd had already descended into chaos.

Countless talking voices instantly drowned out Wang Ergou amidst the crowd.

Meanwhile, Wang Ergou, who had just righteously shouted those words, finally took a long breath of relief, and his body began to slowly shift towards the outside of the crowd.

Once he got out of the crowd, he immediately found a person in black in a corner.

And right away, he put on a pleasing smile:

“My lord, I have carried out your instructions, can you now fulfill what you promised me?”

The black-clad figure casually took out a heavy purse from his sleeve and handed it to Wang Ergou:

“Follow him, he will take you into the Left Martial Guard.”

Seeing this, Wang Ergou immediately lit up, eagerly taking the purse.

He opened a small slit and glanced inside to see an eye-dazzling golden gleam.

He then hurriedly tucked the purse carefully close to his body, and with a smirk, he bowed to the black-clad figure and then left with another person standing by.

Of course, there’s no need to elaborate on this side story.

Let’s talk about the current situation in the field.

As the disruption grew louder, Chen Baicheng’s face finally turned ashen.

At the same time, he shouted loudly:

“Where is the Guard Team?

Anyone who dares to gossip about this General, seize them immediately and deal with them by military law!”

The Guard Team were his Personal Soldiers, and also the Law Enforcement Team of the Right Martial Guard.

Of course, the role that this team has always played has been the underlings of Chen Baicheng.

However, this time, as Chen Baicheng’s words dropped, there was not a single reaction.

When his gaze turned towards the Law Enforcement Team, the Main General of the team suddenly looked up at the slightly overcast sky.

His mouth seemed to be moving, as if he was saying, “Huh?

Isn’t the sky surprisingly blue today?”
