So I play chess

Chapter 165 Do your part
After Liu Zhu finished speaking, he slapped his hand on the desk again.

Master Shi didn't react for a while, and only asked: "How do we know how these two people died?"

Liu Zhu said again: "You let people in during the day, and they die at night. I don't ask you, who should I ask?"

"What do you mean we let people in?" Master Shi only thought it was absurd, looked at Master Wang and Zheng Tong, and said in a dull voice, "These are two things, everyone knows it well."

Liu Zhu glared at him: "You three know it well, but when you come to me, you can only generalize."

"Liu Taishou is very capable." As soon as Master Wang heard this, he immediately understood what Liu Zhu meant, and he didn't want to see the surname Shi being dragged away by him. He stood up and blocked the way, "Are you going to The matter is dirty on our heads?"

Liu Zhu didn't even look at him, just snorted again and didn't speak.

Seeing that there was going to be a commotion in the hall, Zheng Tong finally sighed at this moment, and said: "Brother Shi is also impatient and lost his sense of proportion. The eunuch must not be offended."

Although the relationship between these three people has changed over the past few days, after all, Zheng Tong has led them to do business for a long time. He kept his mouth shut, and his heart became more stable.

But Liu Zhu asked, "What does Mr. Zheng say?"

Zheng Tong let out a snort, and then said, "It's not really a statement, it's just a few words of truth to the prefect."

"Please tell me." Liu Zhu had no choice but to reply.

Zheng Tong first stretched out his hand to signal Master Wang to sit down, and then told Master Shi to calm down, and then said: "My thoughts are the same as those of the two brothers. We all came together from a difficult situation. How many years have passed now?" The days are comfortable, and I can't bear my temper anymore."

"Since the eunuch seized the city, we have really taken care of all matters big and small. Thinking about when Thief Yang gained power, we wanted to help the eunuch, but we were powerless. Now, we are cowardly and surrendered. Lord eunuch A large number, did not remember what happened at that time, but trusted us even more, and we were ashamed.”

As soon as Wang and Shi heard Zheng Tong's words, they knew that he had responded. Master Shi naturally responded, but Master Wang just nodded slightly.

Zheng Tong's expression did not change, and he still said: "Now that the prefect has made Tongcheng clear again, which one of us is not overjoyed, and which one of us does not want to help the prefect to share some. Although the prefect opened the public inspection, we were confused at first, but Later, I realized that this was the best thing to do, so I wanted to do my part. The two of you must be the same, right?"

"Yes, yes, it is indeed as Master Zheng said, we just want to do our part for the prefect." Master Shi answered quickly, and even Master Wang finally followed suit.

"The two lords are safe in doing things, and the eunuch also values ​​it more. I am convinced in my heart. But although I am old and confused, I don't want to fall behind. I am also eager to restore some people who did not help the eunuch in the past, and the public inspection began. The mistakes I made at the time, many ideas were hasty, so I did not do things well, and the employer was unknown, which caused such a big incident."

The rest of the people didn't expect that Zheng Tong would say such a thing. They didn't mean to shirk the whole thing, they took it all by themselves, and they were all surprised.

Liu Zhu didn't know what Wen Gu's plan was, but he made the matter more serious and his attitude was more ruthless. He forced the Wang and Shi families who had no direct relationship with him into it, and gave the Zheng family some benefits. Others come together to share the hope.

In this way, each of the three families shirks the blame, and they have to point the finger at the other two, which can also divide them, and always go in the direction Wen Gu wants.

But now Li Zheng Tong's attitude made it difficult for him to do so.It's just that the words are not completely clear until now, so Liu Zhu doesn't make a statement, and just depends on what Zheng Tong wants to say.

And Zheng Tong didn't intend to wait for others to speak, so he said to Master Shi again: "Brother Shi's words just now were really muddled, did you send your profit to the prefect's mansion? You don't even know if the city gate official in charge is confiscating or confiscating it!"

The words were so firm, Master Shi also came to his senses, and said: "Yes, yes, maybe the servants became greedy, and I am also lax in managing the family, which made Brother Zheng laugh at me."

Zheng Tong stretched his body and patted the back of Master Shi's hand, and said: "But my brother is right in one sentence. This is the case, so I have to give the eunuch an explanation."

Hearing this, Master Shi only had to say "yes".

"The prefect is selfless, and the two younger brothers also have good intentions. The prefect's aunt Liu Niangzi is just a woman in the back house, and she can't interfere with outside affairs. In the final analysis, it is my fault. People in my family let me in. , I can’t embarrass you, I accept this matter.”

This was already clear enough, Liu Zhu finally could no longer be aggressive, and his face could only soften a little.

"My Zheng family recognizes what happened to the Zheng family. The prefect today can try whatever he wants. But there is one thing. If it is murder, my Zheng family will never do such a thing." Zheng Tong said solemnly.

Seeing his attitude, Master Wang knew that today's situation was under Zheng Tong's control, so he rushed to help him before Master Shi: "Brother Zheng said that the Zheng family is a big family in Tongcheng, and Brother Zheng is a well-known family in the city. If you want to say such a bad thing, I don't believe that the Zheng family can do it."

Zheng Tong didn't speak when he heard the words, he just saluted Master Wang solemnly.

However, at this point, a few rather rude movements suddenly came from the side.

Everyone looked at it together, it turned out that Hua Ji, who had been sitting on the corner while talking just now, fell asleep at some point, and seemed to be awakened again at this time, first stretched his body, and then stood up , Looking for his wine gourd again, holding it in his hand and smiling, full of drunkenness.

"Masters, why don't you chat anymore?" Hua Ji asked a few people drunkenly as if he had just noticed the silence in the hall.

The few masters were not easy to talk to, but Liu Zhu first spoke to him: "My aunt is sick, and you just drink here with nothing to do?"

"Oh... yes." Hua Ji suddenly remembered that there was another thing, "I'm going to see the eldest lady."

After a word, the drunkard ignored no one, and left the main hall with the wine gourd, and went to the inner courtyard.

Several people in the hall saw his movements, and each of them was concerned, especially the three masters looked at each other.

This is to send a message to the prefect's aunt.
