Chapter 72: Carrot and Stick

"Hmm?"

"What? At this time, you still want to cover up for the dead Huang Shan?"

Zhao Feng's tone could not help but become stern.

"Little Dengzi, loyalty is an excellent quality."

"But you must also distinguish the object of your loyalty, otherwise it is stupid."

Hearing this, Deng Weixian was instantly awakened.

He had a vague guess in his mind before, and now with Zhao Feng's words, he suddenly understood.

"Report to General Manager Zhao, little Dengzi pleads guilty!"

"Although I was coerced by Eunuch Huang, I made a big mistake after all."

Speaking, Deng Weixian raised his head and looked at Wang Suyue on the side.

"Wang Cairen, I have offended you before, but little Dengzi had no choice but to do it, and I have a hard time..."

"I'm sorry Wang Cairen..."

The guilt, pain and regret on Deng Weixian's face were just like the real thing.

Li Xuan, who was far away, was stunned.

"I've seen this kid is smart since he was young..."

"But he's too smart."

If Li Xuan didn't know the truth, he would have believed Deng Weixian's lies.

Although this kid is dull and sometimes unreliable in front of others, he can lie without taking a breath.

When I first met Deng Weixian, he also concealed a lot of things from his sister Yu'er and told a lot of lies.

So this kid might really have some talent in this area.

Even Li Xuan was stunned, not to mention Wang Suyue.

She quickly said: "You saved my life later, so I won't bother you about these things anymore."

Wang Suyue was straightforward and had no intention of holding a grudge.

And Xia Wanfeng beside her couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

In this way, the previous rumors that Deng Weixian had a crush on Wang Suyue could be refuted.

Although they had been joking about it, they were actually worried about Wang Suyue secretly.

This kind of thing could be big or small. If someone with ulterior motives took advantage of it, it would be a sharp weapon against Wang Suyue.

The jealousy between ordinary women was already fierce, and it was even more cruel in the harem, as it was related to one's life and property.

If someone was determined to harm Wang Suyue, then the fake would become real, and the real would become fake.

But fortunately, at this time, because of Deng Weixian's testimony, the original rumors were no longer tenable.

Xia Wanfeng didn't care much about Deng Weixian's life or death, she only cared about Wang Suyue's interests.

"Okay, it's not too late to turn back after straying."

Zhao Feng nodded with satisfaction.

"Although you have helped the tyrant to commit atrocities, you stepped forward in a critical moment and rescued Wang Cairen from the sea of ​​fire, which can be regarded as making up for your mistakes."

"On this point, Eunuch Wei and I have the same opinion."

When Deng Weixian heard the words "make up for your mistakes", he couldn't help but look at Wei Chengji with surprise.

Wei Chengji forced a smile, and when he saw Zhao Feng looking at him, he could only nod.

"Wang Cairen has a special status. You saved her, which is a great achievement."

Just now Zhao Feng talked to him about the importance of Wang Suyue for a long time, and Wei Chengji naturally understood the other party's intention.

But Wei Chengji couldn't figure out what Zhao Feng was planning.

When he was young, this man was famous for his temper of planning before acting. He was too lazy to even look at things that didn't benefit him.

This guy pretended to be Shang Wenfu's son all his life, and finally got the treatment of his own son.

For this point, Wei Chengji was jealous of Zhao Feng all his life.

When he was young, he also wanted to worship Shang Wenfu as his godfather, but he was not favored by him.

"Why do I have a good father!"

Just as Wei Chengji was recalling the injustice of fate, Zhao Feng continued to say to Deng Weixian: "Get up, child, you are fine."

Deng Weixian did not get up immediately, but kowtowed three times loudly and thanked:

"Thank you, General Manager Zhao!"

"Thank you, Eunuch Wei!"

"Thank you, Concubine Wang!"

"You are so kind, I will remember it in my heart!"

Zhao Feng laughed a few times, stepped forward to help Deng Weixian up, and frightened Deng Weixian.

"Hahaha, you dare to rush into the sea of ​​fire to save people, which shows that you are a good child with pure character."

"But you must distinguish right from wrong in the future, and you can't do whatever others ask you to do."

"You must learn to think for yourself and then make a decision."

Deng Weixian took two steps back and bowed deeply.

"Little Dengzi will never forget what Mr. Zhao taught me!"

Deng Weixian answered like this, but his mind was full of thoughts.

"Is this why my godfather asked me to act according to circumstances?"

"If I had retreated at that time and didn't rush into the sea of ​​fire to save people..."

Deng Weixian quickly put this idea behind him and didn't dare to think too much.

Zhao Feng looked at Deng Weixian, pointed at him with a smile, and said to the people around him: "This is a good kid, I am looking forward to his future."

Seeing Zhao Feng looking at him with a smile, Wei Chengji had to smile along, but he felt bad.

Just based on Zhao Feng's words, he couldn't touch Deng Weixian, and even had to protect him.

If Deng Weixian got into trouble, Zhao Feng would definitely blame him.

"If you like me, take me away. You have to stay here to disgust me."

Wei Chengji smiled on his face, but thought unhappily in his heart.

"Little Dengzi, do a good job in Yanqu Hall in the future."

Zhao Feng encouraged Deng Weixian in the end, and then planned to end the matter.

"Eunuch Wei, please come to the front hall to talk, and we will discuss how to report yesterday's fire to the emperor."

As soon as Zhao Feng said this, Wei Chengji's eyes lit up.

The meaning of this remark was very simple.

How to report the "truth" can be discussed.

If the truth is reported now, Wei Chengji cannot escape the blame. Under his management, Yanqu Hall has been in trouble frequently, and even the life of a talented person has been threatened. It is unreasonable not to punish him severely.

Although he may not be dismissed from the post of the eunuch of the seal room of Yanqu Hall, he will lose a lot of points in the heart of the emperor.

But if all this can be discussed, it will be different.

Perhaps after the discussion, the eunuch of the seal room will not only be blameless, but even have merits.

A thing, narrated from different angles, will be completely different "truths".

Wei Chengji was happy for a while, but immediately felt annoyed.

"This old bastard, this stick and carrot is still so skillful!"

Realizing that he was tricked, Wei Chengji was unwilling, but he had to admit that the carrot Zhao Feng brought out was too fragrant.

Knowing that he was being manipulated so thoroughly, Wei Chengji could only sigh.

"It was not unfair that I lost that year."

Then, Wei Chengji stretched out his hand and pretended to beg him, and his attitude changed drastically: "Then I'll have to trouble General Manager Zhao. Let's go to the front hall to discuss matters. Please follow me."

It looked like he was going to lead the way in person.

Zhao Feng couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, and found it funny to see Wei Chengji's change from arrogant to respectful.

"Wait a minute, I still have a decree from the emperor to convey."

After saying that, Zhao Feng slowly took out his sleeves.

As an old man, it is understandable that he moves a little slower.
