Chapter 561 Capturing the Escaped Cattle and Horses! Fa Zheng: You've made my life miserable!
"roll!"
"Catching traitors is something I, your lord, can handle!"
"Have you finished your official duties? Or are you trying to use this opportunity to break away from the Minister's office?"
Xun Yu let out a low roar, and all the heroes immediately entered Level 1 Return to Position state.
Well, your little trick of wanting to go out for some fresh air has been seen through.
But the anger in the hearts of these talented individuals was undeniable.
Only three people have successfully broken away from the Ministry of Personnel to date, and they have long since become legendary figures.
I thought there wouldn't be a fourth legend.
Unexpectedly, Fa Zheng became the fourth one!
No... what gives him the right?
This was the unanimous thought in the minds of all the outstanding individuals.
……
A secluded house in Xuchang city
The fugitive, Fa Zheng, was bound up like a rice dumpling.
Beside him were two Taoist priests dressed in a manner remarkably similar to Ge Xuan from back then.
"Tell me quickly! Where is Uncle Ge being held?"
"If you don't tell us, we'll sell you to bandits and make you suffer!"
Fa Zheng choked back sobs.
He had never seen such a stupid kidnapper!
If you want me to speak, then at least take the rag out of my mouth!
There's a rag blocking the way here, what can I say!
Besides, if you want to sell me to a bandit's den, then you should do it quickly.
What kind of place is a bandit's den?
Isn't it much better than the forbidden and sinister place like the Minister's Mansion?
but.
Fa Zheng's feelings at this moment can only be described as a mixture of emotions.
Recently, Fa Zheng has stood out among the many servants in the Minister's office and has become a favorite of Xun Yu.
The reason for this is that Fa Zheng recommended many of his former colleagues to Xun Yu.
Although my colleagues have not yet arrived at the Minister's residence, the shipment is already being sent out on an expedited basis.
The thing that truly earned Fa Zheng Xun Yu's appreciation was his recommendation of Zhuge Liang!
To paraphrase Fa Zheng, Liangzi could easily take on five opponents at once!
Xun Yu was pleased and reduced Fa Zheng's daily workload by two cartloads.
Other regular employees have to handle ten cartloads of government affairs, but Fazheng only has to handle eight cartloads. Doesn't that make Fazheng seem incredibly powerful?
however.
Deep love, deep hatred.
Fa Zheng, a junior official in the Ministry of Personnel, was given a valuable opportunity to "go on field duty".
Seeing that he still had some time to spare, he went to a restaurant alone for a drink.
Unexpectedly, upon opening the door to the private room, they encountered two people dressed in Taoist robes who were shouting that they were looking for Ge Xuan!
Then... when Fazheng woke up again, he looked like this.
Fa Zheng was extremely anxious!
This is in Xuchang!
The ruler has no idea that Fazheng has been kidnapped; he will definitely think he has defected.
If the procedures for defection are compliant, there's not much to worry about incurring retaliation.
But given Fa Zheng's act of desertion, it's easy to imagine the terrible treatment he would suffer after being caught and brought back!
Thinking of this, Fazheng shed tears of regret.
I, Fa Xiaozhi, have lived a life of integrity, and it has all been ruined by these two scoundrel Taoist priests!
Seeing Fazheng weep, the two Taoist priests seemed to realize that something was wrong and finally remembered to remove the rag from Fazheng's mouth.
"Pooh!"
Fa Zheng spat heavily, his expression full of disdain.
People from the Minister's Mansion, the spirit of the Minister's Mansion, all people from the Minister's Mansion are superior!
Today, although he has become a prisoner, the Ministry of Justice has given Fazheng confidence.
What an upright man Xun Lingjun was! He was even more just than the most impartial judge!
Faced with such an irregular act of defection, Lord Xun would absolutely not let him off the hook!
So he didn't have to do anything; he just had to wait to be rescued.
Seeing Fazheng's "unyielding" demeanor, the two Taoist priests nodded and decided to give him a minor punishment as a warning.
Unfortunately, Fa Zheng had witnessed all sorts of tortures, including the Kun torture, the duck torture, and the goose torture.
The two Taoist priests' punishment was like children performing acrobatics in his eyes, utterly harmless!
"Tell me quickly! Where exactly are you keeping Uncle Ge locked up?"
"Our sect leader Zuo Ci of Tianmu Mountain was killed by that old Taoist Yu Ji."
"Now, only Uncle-Master Ge is qualified to go back and inherit Zuo Ci's name and the position of sect leader!"
These two Taoist priests were truly desperate; their tone of voice even began to plead.
In fact, these two Taoist priests were not malicious at all, and their cunning was far inferior to that of the old Taoist Ge Xuan.
They genuinely wanted to know where Ge Xuan was being held.
Why did they disappear without a trace after entering the Minister's residence?
Fa Zheng pondered this matter in his heart, but he did not know the answer.
Ge Xuan's next destination was Cao Cao's research and development department, a very special department.
Only key figures in Cao Cao's camp, such as Su Yu and Xun Yu, knew the exact address.
At this moment, what Fa Zheng wanted to solve most was how to convince Xun Yu that he was not "intentionally defecting" but "accidentally captured".
Looking at the two Taoist priests in front of him, Fa Zheng's wicked thoughts began to surface.
These two are clearly juniors of the Taoist Master Ge Xuan at the Tianmu Mountain Taoist temple.
Take, for example, your lord's "nostalgia" for those who defected.
If Fa Zheng were to contribute the sons and nephews of two defectors to the Ministry of Personnel, wouldn't that be considered a meritorious act?
……
the other side
Xun Yu rushed to the Court of Justice.
Upon opening the gate of the Court of Justice, they happened to see Yang Xiu standing in the courtyard.
Yang Xiu turned around and met Xun Yu's gaze.
I recognized him in his eyes – it was the person he remembered!
"Lord...Lord!"
The moment Yang Xiu saw Xun Yu, he felt a chill run through his body, as if he had been struck by the Nine Netherworld White Bone Claw, and he couldn't move an inch!
If I look at it again, I'll explode on the spot like Little Blackie!
"roll!"
"I'm not here to settle scores with you today!"
"okay!"
Yang Xiu felt as if he had been granted a pardon, and with his legs taut, he hopped and skipped away to a nearby side room.
"Lord Ling, what's wrong?"
Cao Pi also took notice of Xun Yu.
"Second Young Master, one of our staff members in the Ministry of Personnel has gone missing. It is clearly working hours, but he has not returned yet."
Cao Pi was suddenly startled.
He really wanted to say something:
"Isn't the Minister's office a work office all day long?"
But Cao Pi swallowed the words back down.
"Please come in, my brother is inside handling official business."
Cao Pi brought Xun Yu to Cao Ang's side.
Cao Ang bowed to Xun Yu, but Xun Yu stopped him.
"Young Master, to make a long story short, I need to mobilize the forces of the Court of Justice to arrest someone!"
Cao Ang's lips twitched slightly.
The armed forces of the Court of Justice are quite strong.
After all, besides being the Minister of Justice, Cao Ang was also the future heir of Cao Cao's camp.
Five thousand elite troops were stationed at the drill ground, ready to be deployed by Cao Ang at any time.
The fact that such a large force was mobilized to capture fugitives from the Ministry of Personnel shows just how much Xun Yu despises fugitives!
Of course, Xun Yu did not intend for all five thousand men to be mobilized.
But the resulting buzz needs to be large enough.
This will help generate public opinion and make it easier to recruit more talented individuals in the future.
When making public statements, they claimed that the Ministry of Personnel provided “free” protection to all its staff.
Anyone who enters the Minister's residence will always be a member of the Minister's family!
Even if you are at the ends of the earth, Lord Xun and the Minister's Mansion will ensure your safety and return to the Minister's Mansion safely!
Having a leader like Xun Yu is the perfect blessing in this life!
"Um... Lord Ling, I would like to ask, who exactly is so audacious as to neglect their duties?"
Cao Ang couldn't help but feel a deep respect for the brave warrior who had escaped from the Minister's residence.
Awesome! Absolutely awesome!
Xun Yu gave a cold snort:
"This man's name is Fa Zheng."
"Once I capture him and bring him back, I'll show him why the sky over Xuchang is so blue!"
