So I play chess

Chapter 164 Arguing
These few people in the government office adapted and accepted this conclusion almost immediately.

For them, looking at the whole thing, the feeling of familiarity has returned.

After all, compared with the way of doing things today and for a long time in the past, Liu Zhu's hard-working and unselfish attitude in the month after he re-entered the city is abnormal.

However, for the time being, Liu Zhu was extremely reluctant to deal with it like this, and I don't know if other people felt unhappy.

This incident is different from that of Li Xun, and even more different from Hua Ji, Zheng Bai and others.

Those unspeakable but blatant things are at best the personal virtues of the elders in his family, and have no direct relationship with Liu Zhu and the Tongcheng government office.

And this matter, he himself can't get around it.

But because Wen Gu had a conversation with him before, although he didn't say it clearly at the time, no matter what Liu Zhu thinks now, he feels that this is an important part of Wen Gu's plan.

Then no matter what, he must carry this matter down first.

But despite all the resistance, there was still anger in his stomach.

This anger can only be vented on Zheng Tong, the culprit.

However, there is no direct evidence at this time, and it is not easy to bring Zheng Tong to interrogation, so the guards have to be divided into several places, and the four gates are still there. I have seen them at the gates and now they have returned to their houses. , together with some stewards from the Zheng, Wang, and Shi families, were brought to the government office.

But when the people were brought, they were not tried, but they were all separated and sent to prison.

This time, the people in the government office understood better.

It's not that Liu Zhu doesn't want to send people to interrogate, but everyone knows that nothing can be learned from these people, and there is no way to interrogate them.

Before the public inspection, it was so strict that Liu Zhu was in charge of it. It was so strict that everyone in Tongcheng knew that without the permission and instruction of the prefect, there would be no way to cause any trouble with the three families alone.

These people who were arrested were only people who worked under the hands of the three families, and it was difficult to distinguish what could be said and what could not be said under interrogation.In the end, this matter will not be resolved.

But they don't know, Liu thinks he can't let it go.

Therefore, one hour after the arrest of the hands of the three families, Liu Zhu also came here in person to gather in the main hall of the outer courtyard besides the masters of the three families who came after hearing the news.

And Wen Gu is naturally still recuperating from his illness, so it is inconvenient to see guests.Only Hua Ji was in the hall to take care of him.

"I've seen Taishou Liu."

Seeing Liu Zhuofeng coming in in a hurry, the three masters got up and bowed to him respectively.

Hua Ji himself sat on the farthest corner, holding a wine gourd in his hand, and didn't move. He still looked like he was pretending not to be afraid of the powerful.

Seeing that he couldn't avoid this trip, Liu Zhu decided to find an empty seat and sat down. He snorted coldly and said, "Three masters, it's really a good job."

These three have different expressions and different attitudes.

Although everyone is afraid of other troubles involved in the public inspection, there is a big difference.

This matter was originally negotiated, and the historians of the Wang family acted within the scope of the prefect's aunt's permission, at most they were implicated, and the Zheng family's overstepping the rules was the one who caused the trouble.

But at this time, Zheng Tong was calm and relaxed, while Mr. Wang looked on from the other side, and Mr. Shi spoke first: "Where is the prefect Liu talking? Let’s discuss it on our own, but now we are all sitting in this hall, there is nothing embarrassing in Tongcheng, let’s drink some tea and calm down.”

Hearing what he said, Liu Zhu lost all the good looks on his face: "Master Shi is really leisurely. You said you are doing things for the eunuch's house. Which eunuch is this referring to?"

Hearing that the taste in his words was not right, Mr. Shi knew that Liu Zhu was unwilling to let the matter pass by, but he could only bite the bullet and said with a smile, "Prefect Liu", and then said: "The matter is as it is now. Now, let's make a security for each other, remember each other's kindness, and it will be over, there is no need for our own affairs to cause troubles in the city, if it spreads to the outside, no one will be troubled, right?"

Master Wang was originally watching with cold eyes, but at this time he couldn't help but give Master Shi a blank look.

Liu Taishou was expressionless, and forced two dry laughs from his mouth: "I originally thought that Yang Wantang's family had a great fortune and a large population, so two or three lives were ignored. Do you not take human life seriously?"

"How can there be such a thing!" Master Shi saw that he was unwilling to let go, but he couldn't turn his face. He stood up at first, but now he had to sit back again, "It's not about my family. How to clean up, please let the eunuch tell us one, two, three."

As soon as the words fell, Liu Zhu slapped the desk beside him hard with the palm of his hand, and the trembling teacup jingled: "Okay! Master Shi wants to hear one, two, three, then I will tell you one, two, three." First, if you said you were doing things for my family, then make it clearer. Who is Mr. Shi doing for my family, what is he doing, and how? I will definitely give you an explanation, Master Shi."

As soon as everyone heard it, they knew that Liu Zhu was really angry. Master Shi just opened his mouth to distinguish a few words, and only said the three words "Liu Taishou", when Hua Ji burped loudly beside him. The master thought he was going to say something, but after waiting for a while, he didn't see him speak, but Liu Zhu continued to speak.

"Second." Liu Zhu glanced at the three people present, "No matter who caused the disaster, the root cause is the fault of the public inspection, just like your Master Shi said, the matter is already like this , then I will also put a word here, those two are not refugees who don’t know their identity, it’s not so easy to prevaricate, and no one can get away with this matter.”

Originally, when Liu Zhu said "the first", Mr. Shi was still a little angry, but when the "second" came out, his anger was extinguished before it even burned up.

Zheng and Wang were not so easily bluffed, and they only listened to Liu Zhu's three more words.

"This is the third." Liu Zhu said here, his voice became more serious, "Since the three of you are here at this time, I just took this opportunity to ask something together, and I ask the three of you to give me a clear understanding. confession!"

After Liu Zhu finished speaking, he paused, and the only sound left in the hall was panting.In the end, Master Shi couldn't bear his temper and asked, "What's the matter?"

"What's the matter?" Liu Zhu snorted again, and said, "I just want to ask, how did these two people die?"
