So I play chess

Chapter 42
When old people talk to young people, they can naturally explain more truths, but if the truth doesn't make sense, and if the other party is reasonable, they won't be able to say much.

Relying on the old and selling the old may not sound good, but it is the most effective.

Naturally, Wen Gu could hear the meaning of Zheng Tong's words, but she didn't mind, she just said: "It's not a sage book, but I read it, but there are several things I don't understand. Please help me with the details and give me some pointers."

After finishing speaking, he flattened the originally rolled book and spread it on the table.

Zheng Tong didn't care about Wen Gu's words, so he simply put on the old man's airs, sat upright, and said sternly: "After the business is finished, it's not difficult to give some pointers. Since the young lady is studying, she should also understand that times change. Reasonable, in the past, we old men would not move around easily in Tongcheng, but now the situation has changed, and we can no longer sit at home."

Wen Gu nodded without making a sound, and put on an expression of humility and resignation, with innocent eyes.

Zheng Tong said again: "Young lady probably doesn't go out very often, but since she is a member of the prefect's mansion, she may also know something about Tongcheng. But there are some things that you may not think about when you see them. We talked with you, there is no harm in the end."

Wen Gu said seriously, "Then I'll just listen."

Zheng Tong didn't hesitate to talk, and simply started from Yang Wantang's coming to Tongcheng, how he got a foothold, and how he relied on the little relationship he had with Zuo Cheng to dominate the Yurou Township in Tongcheng.How did these big clans suffer from his coercion, walking on thin ice.

Let's talk about what happened before Liu Zhu took office in Tongcheng, and what happened after Liu Zhu took office.

In the words, Yang Wantang's other crimes were all mentioned in one pen, and it took most of the time to talk about the right and wrong caused by this incident.

In the end, he even boasted how Liu Zhu endured the humiliation and how calmly he planned to defeat the enemy with one move.

Listening to this, Wen Gu even said it was good in his heart, but it was a pity that Li Mao was not there, otherwise, after listening to the remarks that confuse right and wrong and greedy others' credit, maybe it would have helped a little.

After saying this, Mr. Zheng was not satisfied, so he simply added a few words about how Wen Liang bullied others and how Zhou Tong took advantage of others.

These two people are so vicious and sinful.Fortunately, the wise Taishou Liu took advantage of everyone's help to recapture Tongcheng and save the people from the fire and water.

Of course, "Mrs. Liu" was naturally included among these people.

The lords of these big families are gathered here today, and what they say will represent what the people of Tongcheng will hear in the future.

Since Mrs. Liu is only one of the prefect's helpers, it is naturally not the biggest one in this contribution.

If they are willing to mention it, they will have a share with Mrs. Tai. If they don't want to, don't think that she is still a fairy-like figure among the people today.Tomorrow, she could be turned into a shameless old woman who relied on her seniority to take the credit of her juniors.

In the past, Mr. Zheng would not have dared to say such things, but Mrs. Liu and her nephew had a disagreement.The prefect has real power in his hands, and if he stands with him, he is still afraid that the old woman will fail.

Those who were originally close are more likely to be alienated because of a little quarrel, and those who were originally alienated are also likely to become closer because of a few words.Even among the big clans, this kind of thing is not uncommon.

People's hearts are not often changed because of some big events, but in the midst of trivialities.

With this confidence, Mr. Zheng talked back and forth for half an hour. Fortunately, the characters involved in this speech are all familiar to Wen Gu Zhixia, otherwise he would have fallen asleep long ago.But listening to him say this at this time, I was also surprised and horrified.

Wen Gu secretly sighed in his heart, people in this world can only be counted if they have seen it with their own eyes, just listen to what people say, I am afraid that everyone is a monster, and no one can stay.

That was true of Li Xun in other people's mouth back then, and it is also true of Wen Liang Zhou Tong and others in Master Zheng's mouth now.

He even threatened himself with his tongue, which was very thoughtful.

Mr. Zheng thought it was his own words that frightened Wen Gu Zhixia, but he was not very proud of himself. If he couldn't even deal with two young ladies of his age, he might as well go to the ground earlier at this age.

Of course, Zheng Tong's words were not just to scare them.

He counted Yang Wantang's crimes in detail every word and every sentence in his mouth, but he actually laid out the doorways in the prison in detail.

If you say it out loud, even if Mrs. Liu pretended not to know it before, she must know it now.

Now that I know it, if I want to save face, I must not let this go.

Zheng Commander led everyone present to take this step, which can be regarded as doing a great favor to the prefect by turning over his head. This is a favor that these old men in Tongcheng forced him to accept, and he has to accept it if he doesn't accept it.

At that time, everyone will know that these rich men in Tongcheng helped the prefect conduct a public inspection.The prefect can't get the fish to forget to climb the tree and tear down the ladder no matter what, and let them get involved no matter what.

How did they control Liu Zhuo to control nearly half of the city's defenders back then, and they can still do it now.

Otherwise, the eunuch couldn't beat his aunt in the end, so he had to let her go.With today's incident, in order to silence their mouths, Madam Liu had to bring everyone present one by one.

It can be said that advances and retreats are well-founded and watertight.

After Mr. Zheng talked a lot, he was thirsty. He picked up the teacup and wanted to drink tea, but after leaving it for a long time, the tea in the bowl was already cold, so he didn't wait to warm it up. Tea comes.

If the previous set of momentum is defeated, it will naturally be able to overwhelm the host.

Seeing that he had finally finished speaking, Wen Gu yawned slightly, straightened his body and said, "Master Zheng is very thoughtful, I understand what you said. But I don't know, some of you went to the government office yesterday to fight with the prefect. Thinking about opening the office, why did you figure out all these wrong things after only one day?"

Zheng Tong thought to himself, I am talking to a sensible person. Since you are a messenger, it seems that you don't know your old lady's plan, so you shouldn't ask so many questions.But he still said: "I'm old after all, and when I saw something new, I couldn't figure it out for a while. Yesterday, Taishou Liu painstakingly told us a lot, and we all figured it out after we got back."

After Zheng Tong finished speaking, several masters nearby responded repeatedly.

Wen Gu smiled and said: "It seems that you are sincerely thinking of the prefect, and the prefect must also thank you all."

As Wen Gu spoke, he signaled Zhixia to take the book she put on the table to Zheng Tong.

"This is the thank you gift prepared by the eunuch, please take a look first."
