C249 Trouble the door (below)
After the two of them sat down in the commander's residence, Commander Ni did not wait for Situ Qingyun to ask again. He took the initiative to ask Situ Qingyun, "May I ask why Great General is looking for me today?"
"It's not a big deal, I heard that you have a deputy general called Cheng Zhipeng under your command, do you have him?" Situ Qingyun still had a displeased look on his face as he spoke, thus his tone became one of anger and interrogation, at least that was what he meant in Commander Ni's ears.
"There is indeed such a person!" "I wonder what the great general is thinking?" Commander Ni nodded in acknowledgement before asking doubtfully. What he did not understand was that this deputy general had long since been suspended from duty and had returned home. Why would he still offend this great general in front of him? However, Commander Ni did not reveal any weird expression. One must know that 'watching people cook dishes' was a form of learning, and before the general's intentions for treating Cheng Zhipeng were made clear, as a third party, one could not casually 'fawn' on him. Otherwise, it would be standing behind a horse and standing beside it.
"Just tell me where he lives!" Situ Qingyun also lost his patience and spoke even more impatiently. He had originally wanted to urge the other party to quickly give him an answer, but who knew that after hearing it, Commander Ni's ears would once again change.
If it was said that he did not understand Situ Qingyun's attitude towards Cheng Zhipeng before, then he had to tell others that this little unlucky general called Cheng Zhipeng had offended a great general, and would not be long before he would be completely kicked out of the army. And today, Situ Qingyun had come to find him for a punishment.
Thinking about this, Commander Ni could not help but praise himself for his foresight. He had actually suspended this person, but his heart softened. He should have just dismissed him and never used him again! Unfortunately, it was already too late, but this was also good. Situ Qingyun could personally vent his anger on him.
Since he understood Situ Qingyun's true attitude, Commander Ni knew what he had to do, so he said in a clear voice: "He is just a lowly deputy general, how would he dare trouble the great general to come personally? I will immediately send someone to call him over, great general, please settle this matter for a while."
With that, Commander Ni raised his cape and left the guest hall in high spirits. He then personally arranged for people to escort Cheng Zhipeng here.
"There's no need..." Situ Qingyun only had enough time to shout out two words before he could no longer see Commander Ni's figure. He had a nagging feeling that something was off, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong.
Now that things had progressed to this point, Situ Qingyun decided to just wait for Cheng Zhipeng to arrive. Coincidentally, after meeting him in person, if he acknowledged his character, he could directly say to this Ni surnamed person that he had Cheng Zhipeng under his account, and measure that Ni wouldn't dare to even say a word that wasn't 'No'.
When he thought of this, Situ Qingyun subconsciously revealed a trace of a smile, and at this moment, Commander Ni just happened to walk into the guest hall after instructing me, and coincidentally saw the scene of Situ Qingyun 'fiendishly grinning'.
This could not be blamed on Commander Ni for misunderstanding. Situ Qingyun was already in a bad mood and had a long face, with such a twisted mood, any smile on his face looked like he was grinning from ear to ear. Seeing such a vicious smile on his face, Commander Ni immediately felt reassured. He was waiting to see a good show.

Cheng Zhipeng's residence.
"Dong, dong, dong!" "Quickly open the door!" The sound of someone knocking on the door could be heard, accompanied by the sound of Huhe.
"He's here, who is he!" Cheng Zhipeng walked out from the house towards the main entrance, and shouted to the people outside as he walked!
"Dong, dong, dong!" "Quickly open the door!" The person outside the door did not stop knocking. He was still as rude as before.
"I've already said it, stop knocking!" Cheng Zhipeng was also very suspicious. Ever since he had left for home, his colleagues had not interacted much, and almost all of them had cut off all connections with him in order to avoid him. He would occasionally see his former colleagues, when they weren't mocking and ridiculing him, or when they just ignored him.
All of these were nothing to Cheng Zhipeng, and it was just like this for officials. As long as they lost their power, everyone would step on your head, and for no other reason but that you were once too dazzling, they could only look up to you, and when you were no longer dazzling, they wanted to look down on you. This was a type of base character for humans. Since ancient times, they had all been B's.
"Creak Creak" The door opened, but after opening it, a group of fully armed soldiers rushed in and surrounded Cheng Zhipeng. Another group of people rushed in, probably to look for Cheng Zhipeng's wife and son.
Cheng Zhipeng did not resist. Firstly, he did not understand the purpose of this group of people coming here, and secondly, his wife and son were not at home. Even if these people wanted to threaten him, they would not be able to do so.
"May I ask for your business?" Cheng Zhipeng asked indifferently. From this point, he indeed had the demeanor of a general, at least in the face of danger.
"Hmph, you are Cheng Zhipeng?" Cheng Zhipeng was not familiar with this person, but he had a kind face and should be a centurion that came from a different city.
"That's me!" Cheng Zhipeng answered clearly, 'The name of a man should never be changed', which was Cheng Zhipeng's standard of conduct.
"Let me tell you, Cheng Zhipeng, you committed a crime, a huge one at that!" The centurion hollered at Cheng Zhipeng.
"May I know what crime I have committed?" Cheng Zhipeng asked in astonishment. He had already been suspended from his previous job. Since he had already given his punishment, it meant that the matter was over, and during this period of time, he rarely went out, plus the outside world was chaotic, he even chose to stay at home with his wife and son. How could he commit any crimes? Cheng Zhipeng's first reaction was that he was wronged.
"You don't need to know. Someone will naturally hold you accountable later! Someone, take him away! " The official looked at Cheng Zhipeng with disdain, and spoke to him as if he was someone who had achieved what he wanted, and then ordered his subordinates to take Cheng Zhipeng away.
Cheng Zhipeng did not resist, he knew that resisting right now was useless. On the contrary, it might even implicate his own wife and son.
Cheng Zhipeng was taken away, but the mission of the Hundred Family Clan was not completed. Not only did he want to capture Cheng Zhipeng, he also wanted to capture all of his family members. This was what Commander Ni meant, so before he escorted Cheng Zhipeng to leave, he ordered the Ten Captains s to spread out and capture Mrs. Cheng and the young master of the Cheng Family.
However, the centurion did not expect that when they were bringing Cheng Zhipeng away, Mrs. Cheng and his son were not far from their home. After seeing Cheng Zhipeng being brought away with all sorts of tied up, Mrs. Cheng quickly pulled his son along and hid in a dark alley, carefully observing the street movements.
"Mother, why did they capture Father!?" Cheng Zhipeng's son asked the mother beside him.
"I don't know either, but I'm afraid someone might have framed your father!" Cheng Zhipeng's wife shook his head and noncommittally replied.
"Then what should we do?" The son asked anxiously.
"Let's follow your father and see where he's been escorted to!" Cheng Zhipeng's wife was still quite calm at the moment. It was obvious that he was born in a general's family and did not panic in the slightest when big things happened. He instantly knew what he was going to do next. If it were any other ordinary family's children, they would have already been paralyzed with fear on the ground.
"En!" Cheng Zhipeng's son tightened his fist and nodded heavily after that.
Thus, the mother and son duo disappeared from the alleyway. When they reappeared, they were already more than ten meters away from the convoy.
Coincidentally, a squadron of city guards who were patrolling the city happened to pass by, and just so happened to see Cheng Zhipeng who was tied up by all sorts of ropes.
"I am just following orders too. There is nothing to report!" This centurion obviously relied on his actions of bullying others. Relying on the orders and authority that he received from Commander Ni, he looked down on everyone else.
"Whose orders?" When the patrol squad heard the tone of the other party, they were immediately angered and coldly snorted.
"I have nothing to offer ?" Without waiting for the centurion to finish speaking, a loud noise interrupted them.
centurion and the patrolling officer looked towards the noisy place at the same time. They saw a fat woman desperately trying to get rid of the clothes of a woman and a teenage boy. It seemed that the mother and son accidentally bumped into her.
Just as the patrol officer was disdaining this matter as if it was a small matter, the centurion actually saw through the mother and son's true appearance with a single glance. It was Cheng Zhipeng's wife and son, and he became extremely excited at this moment.
But then, the centurion realized something, his subordinates were still searching for the mother and son outside, and now, these people were guarding Cheng Zhipeng himself, it was impossible for them to do anything, thus he made up his mind and walked towards the patrol officer.
"Milord, may I have a word with you?" When the centurion got close, he gestured to them to come closer and whispered in the ears of the officer.
"En!" The leader was still angry at the man, but he did not deny him. He followed centurion to a place where there was no one else.
Both of them went to the side. The centurion pointed at the mother and son who were still in dispute: "That mother and son were ordered by the Commander to be arrested by name, and they are Cheng Zhipeng's wife and son. As for Cheng Zhipeng himself, we must catch him no matter what the Commander tells us. I wonder if sire can help us with this? "
"This ?" The high-ranking officer hesitated. It was a pity that he did not meet with his Bo Le. Although he and Cheng Zhipeng could not be considered good friends, at least they were still colleagues, and even if he could not help, there was no need to add insult to injury.
"Could it be that you want to go against the wishes of the Commander?" centurion saw that although the other party did not agree, he did not deny it.
"Alright! I only take people, I don't hurt them! Furthermore, I want to accompany you to escort these three people to meet the Lord Commander! " Furthermore, he wanted to participate in this matter. If it was a misunderstanding, then it was better than nothing, and if it wasn't a misunderstanding, then he was willing to protect Cheng Zhipeng's wife and son.
"No problem!" Sir, sorry to trouble you! " The centurion said while nodding his head. At the same time, he made a gesture to invite him in.
The leader walked to the front of the troop and ordered, "All of you target him. Capture the mother and son alive and don't kill them. Do you understand? "
"Understood!" The patrolling officers replied in unison.
"Attack!" The high-ranking officer took out his long blade and shouted.
