Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 1251

After calling out Qian Jinguang's name, Wei Wu didn't stop. He immediately strode towards Qian Jinguang.

As for Qian Jingguang, he actually regretted his impulsive actions after he made the move.

After all, this train was built under the supervision of the Academy of Sciences at Wei Wu's behest, and the people on the train were very likely arranged by Wei Wu.

His heart jumped when he saw Wei Wu enter the carriage, but the next second he saw Wei Wu ask him a question.

At this moment, Qian Jinguang had a bad feeling. Sure enough, Wei Wu walked towards him after asking the question.

But with all the civil and military officials watching, Qian Jinguang knew he couldn't afford to offend Wei Wu, but he was also concerned about his reputation and unwilling to back down.

After all, the reason he took action was because the flight attendant reminded him twice, and he fell because he didn't listen to her advice.

The flight attendant then came to help him up, making him feel like she was deliberately mocking him, which led him to impulsively hit her.

The incident just now was caused by saving face, and now, facing Wei Wu, he is still concerned about saving face.

“Qian Jingang, come here, tell me what exactly did the flight attendant do wrong that made you, a third-rank official, resort to violence against her.”

Faced with Wei Wu's questioning, Qian Jinguang naturally wouldn't admit his mistake, so he directly offered a sophistry:

"Because of his negligence, several of us officials accidentally fell. I am merely giving him a minor punishment."

After saying that, Qian Jingguang tilted his head back, snorted coldly, and continued:

"Hmph, why is the Duke of Zhenguo so aggressive? Has my punishment of a mere commoner offended you?"

"Oh, is it so?"

Wei Wu squinted and replied, but in truth, he didn't believe a single word Qian Jinguang said.

Because when selecting personnel beforehand, Wei Wu specifically instructed that the flight attendants must undergo rigorous training.

Furthermore, the training content was personally designed by Wei Wu, and the content was so rigorous that it was conducted according to the standards of flight attendants.

After all, not only Zhu Yuanzhang was coming, but also Empress Ma, Zhu Biao, and Zhu Xiong Ying—three generations of the Ming Dynasty were all coming.

Safety is a critical issue that cannot be ignored, so flight attendants must be trained, with the most crucial aspect being reminders.

When the train is moving, accelerating, or slowing down upon entering a station, the train attendants must remind all passengers to sit firmly and hold on tight.

Wei Wu didn't believe his men would forget this, so he immediately looked behind him after Qian Jinguang finished speaking.

"I'm asking you, did you just announce that the train was about to depart and tell all passengers to be seated, as required?"

Upon hearing Wei Wu's question, the flight attendant was about to speak when someone else spoke first.

"The Duke of Zhenguo has quite the airs of an official! It's a fact that this troublemaker caused several of his colleagues to fall, yet you didn't even ask a single question about it."

"Lord Qian merely gave him a reprimand, yet you're holding onto it. What, are you saying that several ministers are less important than a mere commoner?"

"If Lord Qian and the others hadn't fallen just now, we would all have tripped and fallen as well. If you ask me, he should be punished!"

The person who suddenly interrupted the flight attendant and spoke rudely to Wei Wu was none other than Zhan Hui, who had just clashed with Wei Wu.

Because the second carriage was right next to Zhu Yuanzhang's carriage, all the officials sitting there were of the third rank or above.

Zhan Hui and Li Shanchang were naturally present, so much so that as soon as Zhan Hui finished speaking, someone immediately echoed his words.

"That's right! Are we ministers really less capable than a mere commoner?"

"Is the Duke of Zhenguo trying to downplay the seriousness of the matter, or is he using this opportunity to settle a personal score with Lord Qian?"

Hearing what these people were saying, Wei Wu turned around and looked at them expressionlessly, then said coldly.

"I wasn't talking to you. Why are you barking like dogs over there? There aren't any female dogs here. What are you doing in heat?"

These people, who were so aggressive just moments before, instantly lost their composure upon hearing Wei Wu's words.

"Outrageous! Such foul language is an insult to civility!"

Wei Wu glanced at him disdainfully, then retorted directly:

"There are even dirtier things too, and I'll tell you if you want to hear it. I'm just insulting civility, so what?"

After Wei Wu finished speaking, the person next to the one who had spoken couldn't help but chime in, saying:

"A Duke of the State speaks in such a vulgar manner; we disdain to serve in the same court as you!"

"If you don't care, you can resign. No one will stop you. Or, should I go and tell His Majesty right now that you don't want to be an official anymore?"

Upon hearing this, the second person fell silent, but the other person next to him spoke up.

"Duke Zhenguo, you..."

Before the man could finish speaking, Wei Wu, not wanting to listen to him continue, interrupted him directly.

"Shut your dog mouth! If you utter another word of nonsense, I'll insult your mother in front of all the civil and military officials. If you want to hear it, then keep talking!"

After speaking, Wei Wu glanced at the officials surrounding Li Shanchang, and then said again:

"And you all are the same. Anyone who thinks their mother deserves to be scolded, just say so, and I promise I'll give her a good scolding!"

Upon hearing Wei Wu's words, all the officials around Li Shanchang held back what they were about to say.

There was no way around it; they were different from Wei Wu, who could completely disregard his status and had no burden of being a duke.

But these officials can't do that; they care about their status and have an image to maintain, so they can't curse like street thugs.

Therefore, I couldn't say anything too vulgar, after all, there were so many officials watching, and I couldn't appear uncultured.

If he were to continue speaking, and his mother were to be insulted by Wei Wu in front of all the officials, he would lose face terribly.

Seeing that these people had stopped talking, Wei Wu then looked at Li Shanchang, who was sitting at the very back.

"Li Shanchang, keep a close eye on your dog, or if it really angers me, it won't just be words, I'll take action!"

"Others may not know, but you should know very well that I am capable of doing this kind of thing."

Upon hearing Wei Wu's words, Li Shanchang's eyebrows twitched involuntarily, but he had to admit that it was indeed true.

Back then, Wei Wu had only been in officialdom for a short time, and because of some conflicts, this guy dared to cause trouble at his own home late at night.

That time, he smelled terrible for a whole week, and no matter how many times he took a shower, he couldn't get rid of the odor.

Back then, Wei Wu dared to attack him, a duke, so naturally he wouldn't take these people seriously.

The key point is that what is happening now has nothing to do with him, and Li Shanchang doesn't want to be implicated.

So after Wei Wu finished speaking, Li Shanchang immediately glared at the officials, telling them to stop getting involved in the matter.

Seeing Li Shanchang's gaze, these people dared not act recklessly anymore, while Wei Wu looked at the flight attendant again and asked:

"Answer me, did you remind them to sit properly as instructed?"
