Chapter 262 General Chen Pleads for Mercy

Fusu raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you going to plead for him?"

It seemed that General Chen and Lord Zhou were meeting for the first time, but General Chen actually pleaded for Lord Zhou.

Although it was just a subtle way of saying nice things, Fusu felt that it was still extraordinary.

General Chen was a military man.

He doesn't understand the intricacies of social interactions. If someone pleases him and he can get along well with them, he will treat that person with all his heart.

Upon hearing Fusu's words, General Chen scratched the back of his head sheepishly.

He chuckled and said, "Young master, you don't know this, but I think it's also very difficult for Lord Zhou. He has so many people under his command that he can manage, but he can't manage others."

“If he himself is held accountable by you, young master, for embezzlement, that is normal. But if it is because of other people that Lord Zhou is punished.”

"This sounds too tragic, so I sympathize with Lord Zhou. He might have to take the blame for other people's mistakes."

However, General Chen knew that this was because Lord Zhou had not properly disciplined his subordinates in the past.

Their reach went too far, which angered Fusu.

Now that Fusu is investigating, they will be punished.

It's quite normal that Lord Zhou, as the superior, was also implicated and even punished by the young master.

However, seeing Lord Zhou's miserable appearance, General Chen felt a little sorry for him.

Although he couldn't plead for the other party, he could still offer some indirect praise.

General Chen didn't think his words could influence Fusu, who wasn't so easily swayed.

Especially when it comes to matters of principle, Fusu is a difficult person to deal with and not easily fooled.

Fusu was a kind man who respected ordinary people greatly and could not bear to see anyone expecting them to defecate on their heads.

There are too many people in this world who do not respect ordinary people, and even treat them as a resource or a consumable.

They can sacrifice them to fulfill themselves.

If Fusu hadn't discovered this behavior, it would have been fine, but if he had, Fusu would definitely not have let him off easily!

Fusu was quite famous in Xianyang, known for his kind heart.

One of the reasons Fusu volunteered to come here was because he was afraid that the disaster-stricken people would not be able to survive.

Their homes were hit by a snowstorm, and they not only have no food, but they may also be homeless.

With such heavy snow, especially in winter, if there isn't even a place to shelter, I can't imagine how many people will freeze to death in this snow.

Fusu wants to avoid this outcome, and he doesn't trust anyone else to do it.

Those supplies were all obtained by Fusu through great effort in Xianyang.

Those high-ranking officials and nobles won't always show kindness.

This was because Fusu not only obtained silver from them, but also provided them with corresponding benefits in the form of supplies.

Only by giving them enough benefits and ensuring they don't suffer losses can these benefits be realized. These benefits are not only material but may also include other things related to reputation.

If you give them enough of these things, they will naturally be generous, but never treat them like fools and think you can fool them easily.

Those families with resources are definitely smart people; they won't be easily fooled by others.

Anyone with a modicum of sense would know that Fusu was not merely asking for things, but also giving benefits, when they saw that he had managed to gather so many resources.

Only a fool would think that those wealthy families donated money out of respect for Fusu.
