So I play chess

Chapter 43 Game
Zheng Tong picked up the book, but when he opened it, there were pages and pages of paper with densely written words on it. After reading it for a few times, his brows frowned.

Seeing Zheng Tong's expression, several other people also had doubts in their hearts.Mr. Zheng didn't delay, and passed the book over to read. There were seven or eight people, and everyone had different expressions on their faces.

Wen Gu took a good look at them all calmly, and then slowly said: "I was just watching, and a few of you came in. Just in time, I don't know anything inside, please give me some pointers."

At this time, it happened to be passed into the hands of Mr. Wang. After taking a look, he got up and said angrily: "Does Liu Zhu treat us as thieves?"

A few people around him were afraid that he would make a fuss, so they hurriedly coaxed him to sit down.

Wen Gu didn't seem to mind that Mr. Wang called the prefect by his first name, his expression remained unchanged, and he said, "The contents of this note are detailed. If you are impatient, I can tell you about it."

After Wen Gu finished speaking, he motioned for Zhixia to speak without waiting for the others to speak.

"After the Liangzhou army entered the city, there was a record of the number of people leaving the city, whereabouts, time, etc. of the masters. When the Liangzhou army surrendered, the prefect got this volume of records from their documents. Afterwards, the prefect asked carefully about the surrendered general of the Liangzhou army. It is said that the masters sent people out of the city to prepare food and pay for the Liangzhou Army."

Not only that, the note also recorded the names of the people who left the city, when they left the city, whether they rode or walked, and even their body and appearance were described one by one.However, several people present have already passed it on, so there is no need to say it again.

"After the prefect entered the city, there was also a record of the people who left the city. Those in the homes of the masters happened to be listed here."

Zhixia stopped at this point, the hall was quiet for a moment, and a master said: "We were trapped in the city at the time, and we had to think about asking for help."

Afterwards, the few people started making a fuss with each other.It is nothing more than some words to explain the situation at that time.

Master Wang glared at Wen Gu even more, and asked, "What does Liu Zhu mean by this?"

Wen Gu didn't wait for them to come to a conclusion, so he said, "It's not all the eunuch's intention. Tongcheng is in trouble. Not only do you know that you have made meritorious deeds, but the eunuch knows too. The imperial court wants to show merit to the eunuch, so the eunuch must not forget it." Everyone."

"It's just that you are not imperial officials, and you have to show your merits, but how to show it, the eunuch has no good idea for a while."

"Thinking about it for a few days has not yielded any results, but looking at this thing today, it seems that I have found some clues, but there are still a few things that I don't understand. Since you are here, please give me some pointers."

Just listening to the meaning of Wen Gu's words, although she said she was the prefect, but no one knew that she was speaking for the prefect's aunt.

Wen Gu's tone was old-fashioned, and the masters couldn't care less about being manipulated casually by this young lady. What they were thinking in their hearts was outside this hall.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Wen Gu simply stood up, and following her movements, several masters raised their heads in unison, and their eyes drifted to her face from everywhere.

Wen Gu said again: "Thinking that the first time you sent people out of the city, it was to report to the imperial court. The eunuch can express your loyalty and hardships to the imperial court. But after looking through it, I don't quite understand it. After entering the city, you immediately sent people out, what are you going to do this time?"

It was the first time they sent people out of the city, not only to report to Nanchu, but also to Beiyu.In addition, each family also chooses cronies, packs the family belongings that are convenient to carry, and finds another place to settle in advance.Among them, some went to the territory of Southern Chu, and some went to Yongzhou.

It's just that most of those who went to Yongzhou were stopped by the "prefect guard" hiding in the west of the city.

And the second time he went out of the city and secretly informed Bei Yu, he naturally sent the news again.It's just that the one who is arranged in advance is to catch up with the previous person, and stop if he can. In troubled times, cash is much more precious than land deeds.

Whether they reported to Beiyu or planned to resettle in Yongzhou, they felt guilty at this moment. In front of the court, although these two kinds of crimes were minor or serious, they were not trivial crimes, let alone meritorious service.

But some of them had nothing to do with Bei Yu.

I only heard Master Sun who hadn't said anything yet and said sadly: "Mrs. Liu suspects that someone here is collaborating with the enemy?"

Wen Gu did not refute his words, but smiled and said: "After the prefect returned to the city, everything was busy, and you all went through hardships with Tongcheng, so the prefect naturally believes in you. It's just that the court will ask carefully if you want to show your merits. Here, if there are any mistakes or omissions, I'm afraid it will be self-defeating."

Master Wang wanted to argue, but Zheng Tong spoke first: "What does Mrs. Liu mean?"

Wen Gu said: "There are many things in the city, and the prefect may not be able to take care of these things. You can go back and check if the person who left the city obeyed the order of the master's family. If so, where did he go? And why did he go? Tell someone Just explain."

As Wen Gu spoke, he walked up to Mr. Shi and took the note back.

"The eunuch trusts you all, not to mention that this is your family matter. As long as there are no other twists and turns, when the court asks about these things a few days later, these things are not important and have nothing to do with what you said, so let's not mention them."

Wen Gu didn't speak clearly, but everyone present understood it.

The little lady talked about the prefect in every sentence, but in fact she was talking about the prefect's aunt. The encounters they had with the public examination made them understand that Liu Zhu is not a good match nowadays.

If they dare to mention this matter with Liu Taishou, if it is true, it will not do them any good.

The prefect's aunt is different. Today's call is pretending to be confused. She pointed out that some of the people present have a relationship with Bei Yu in a big or small way. The prefect may care, but the aunt who disagrees with the prefect does not. not give a damn about.

She is greedy for money.As long as they stand on her side and follow her will, then this matter can be settled and everyone will be safe.

Those who have a guilty conscience think so, and those who are not guilty.

Master Wang snorted, and said: "I have done what I should do, what credit should I show? I don't need the eunuch to worry about me! I don't want this credit."

Wen Gu smiled and said, "Then what if you have to make an appearance?"

Although Master Wang has a hot temper, he is by no means careless.Wen Gu's attitude is very clear.

This is to use the way of the person to treat the person's body.Since Zheng Tong and others intend to rely on their deep-rooted foundation in Tongcheng, they will turn the prefect's aunt upside down.Naturally, Wen Gu could use the prefect's convenience to counter them as well.

What these people are out of town doing doesn't really count what they say.No matter how angry Master Wang is, there is nothing he can do at this moment.If they use the same trick, others will naturally use it too.

Wen Gu saw that the matter had been explained clearly, and everyone had nothing to say, so he wanted to chase away the guests: "Let's stay and have a meal."
