Zhang Huang turned around and saw that Li Zhun was looking at him angrily. He couldn't help but smile to himself: "Everyone in the officialdom said that Li Zhun was a noble man. To me, he is just a jealous person. This must be because of my deep appreciation." I want to win the general's favor, and I don't want me to overshadow him and take away his credit. Anyway, as the saying goes, the first level of officialdom kills people. Your surname is Li, who is now more official than me. I still understand the rules of officialdom. Those who understand current affairs are Junjie, I will let you go first today and give you this measly face. The green mountains will not change and the green water will flow forever. Sooner or later, I will let you know how powerful I am."

Thinking of this, he stepped aside and said with a flattering smile: "Master Li, if you have something to say, why should you get angry?"

Li Zhun said angrily: "Are the four of us visiting the General's Mansion late at night just to listen to the two of you flattering us?!"

After hearing this, Wang Jiaoshou looked sulky and snorted: "Master Li, what you said is wrong. The two of us are reporting the situation to Old General Chen, but it is just a little detailed. There is no such thing as the flattery you mentioned." word?"

Li Zhun said: "Look at how you are groveling and groveling! How can you look like an official of the imperial court?! If all the officials are like you, who can the people expect to make decisions for them?"

Wang Jiaoshou said angrily: "Li Zhun! You rotten scholar! What do you mean?! Are you saying that General Zhang and I are not worthy of being officials? Just wait and see if I don't go to the censor to read your book." !”

Li Zhun said coldly: "It's up to you! If you have the ability, you can transfer me away from Jinling, so that I don't have to be with you, which will really upset me."

"You..." Wang Jiaoshou was so angry that he spoke incoherently. He stood up, pointed at Li Zhun and said: "Okay! Mr. Li, wait! If I don't get you away, how can I, Wang Jiaoshou, still be here?" A foothold in official circles?!"

"Hey... Sir, please calm down. We are officials in the same dynasty, so peace should be the most important thing! Don't you think so, General?"

Chen Xiaotian smiled and remained silent. Although he comes from a green background, he has been in the officialdom for more than ten years, and quarrels like this between the two have long been commonplace. On the other hand, Li Chaozhong next to him had never seen such a formation before, so he and Zhang Huang hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade them. The difference was that Zhang Huang only used his words, but he acted with his body. He stepped forward and pressed Wang Jiaoshou on the chair.

"Liu Chaozhong! Why are you touching me?! I think you are tired of being an official, right? Tomorrow I will report it to the Kou Governor and ask him to remove you from your post!" "Sir, please stop arguing, let's get down to business. important."

"Good boy, it's your turn to teach me a lesson, right?" Wang Jiaoshou became angry and raised his hand to slap Li Chaozhong. In terms of skill, even the three kings Jiao Shou could not catch up with Liu Chaozhong, but they were very close to each other, and Liu Chaozhong did not expect that he would suddenly strike. This palm was very powerful, and it hit his face with a snap. It was clean and crisp, and five fingerprints immediately appeared on Liu Chaozhong's right cheek.

Chen Xiaotian felt a chill in his heart and thought to himself: "There have been a lot of things going on in the past few days. Watching these people quarreling and bickering is just a way to relieve their boredom. I didn't expect that Wang Jiao Shou would be so arrogant and beat his subordinates whenever he asked, without mercy. Face. Then I saw Liu Chaozhong standing aside, clenching his fists, glaring at Wang Jiaoshou angrily. If he didn't say anything, I'm afraid these people would take action in Xuanzheng Hall."

"Don't argue anymore, please listen to me." Chen Xiaotian walked among the four of them, twirling his beard and saying: "Thanks to the four of you who respect me, you came to visit me late at night to discuss matters. It's just that I'm still confused until now. , I really don’t know what you want to discuss with me?”

Just as Wang Jiaoshou and Zhang Huang were about to answer, Li Zhun hurriedly said, "To be fair to the old general, the man and woman we are tracking may be related to your family."

"Oh?! Mr. Li, you mean those two suspects are from our house?"

Li Zhun nodded and said: "We have this suspicion because..."

"Because of my humble position, I fought against the two of them. However, the thieves had strong claws and let them run away. However, when I was lurking nearby, I heard them mention the word 'General Manager Wang'." Zhang Huang snatched the topic away. He was afraid that Wang Jiaoshou would retaliate in the same way, so he spoke quickly and finished it in one breath.

How could Wang Jiaoshou be willing to show weakness when he saw this? While Zhang Huang was gasping for breath, he immediately spoke: "After I heard the news, I immediately sent out people to search all the big families in the city. I found three people named Mr. Wang. After review, the other two have been eliminated. , now only Manager Wang in your house has not yet investigated, so I would like to ask your permission to let the humble officials and others make a few inquiries."

Chen Xiaotian thought to himself: "These four people came together late at night. They must not only be investigating Wang Rong, but there must be other truths that they have not yet told." Thinking of this, he turned to Liu Chaozhong and asked, "Master Liu, what do you want?" Replenish?"

Liu Chaozhong was stunned. He didn't expect that Chen Xiaotian would suddenly ask him a question. He had just been slapped by Wang Jiaoshou for no reason. He was so angry that he couldn't calm down. Seeing these people hesitating again, it was really unbearable for him to look around. He thought Anyway, I have offended Wang Jiaoshou. This man is a popular person in the eyes of the Kou governor. If I offend him, I am afraid that I will never be promoted in the officialdom. Anyway, why not ask me everything I want to know today. If I can By solving this bamboo theft case, we can be considered worthy of the people of Jinling!

After thinking this, he suddenly thought loudly and said loudly: "Old General Chen, we are not only here to interrogate Manager Wang, but I also want to ask you to tell me something else!"

"Oh? Mr. Liu, please speak!"

"I dare to ask the old general, before we arrived, have you ever heard about the theft of the firecracker factory in the west of the city?!" Chen Xiaotian shook his head and said: "I have never heard of it. Until today, after hearing what everyone said, I know a little bit about it."

Liu Chaozhong continued: "So, you mean that the three hundred boxes of firecrackers that were stolen are not in the general's mansion, right?"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked. Wang Jiaoshou asked loudly: "Liu Chaozhong! What do you mean? Do you suspect that General Chen is the mastermind of the theft?!"

Liu Chaozhong said: "I don't dare, but now that all the evidence points to General Chen, it is inevitable that it will not make people suspicious."

"You are really crazy! Did I beat you stupid? I think you are born stupid..." Wang Jiaoshou wanted to continue scolding, but Chen Xiaotian waved his hand and asked: "Mr. Liu, what evidence do you have to prove that I Is that the person behind the scenes?"
