Zhai Xuan spoke coldly: "Really, then let me ask Wang Gui and Yang Xiaowu first." After he finished speaking, he slowly walked to Wang Gui and Yang Xiaowu, and asked, "Since the two of you keep pointing out that Xu Dadu is the real culprit behind the scenes, then what is the original matter, you can explain it to me clearly." ”

Wang Gui and Yang Xiaowu nodded again and again, snorting and tearing, confessed all the details of accepting bribes and how Xu Wenbo instructed them to frame them, and also said that the five taels of silver that Xu Wenbo sent to Huang to bribe were not touched, and they were all kept in the wing. The situation they described was far clearer and more coherent than when they framed Zhou Bo, and anyone who listened to it could immediately tell who was right and who was wrong.

"In that case, do you have any evidence?" Zhai Xuan still looked unhurried after listening to Wang Gui and Yang Xiaowu's words.

Wang Gui and Yang Xiaowu looked at each other, not knowing how to answer for a while, how could such a reckless thing leave evidence for no reason? They hesitated for a long time, but they couldn't say a word, and they suddenly became anxious again.

In fact, although Zhai Xuan was forced by Zhou Bo's threat to handle this case strictly, he still had some affection for Xu Wenbo in his heart. If Xu Wenbo does things neatly and does not leave any traces, at most he can only say that the case is unclear, and the worst result is just a demotion. But if Xu Wenbo is sloppy and doesn't deal with it after he finishes things, and drops the handle for people to catch, then he can only resign himself to fate.

Xu Wenbo's heart had just relaxed, but at this moment, Zhou Bo slashed out again.

"Since you have also pointed out that Officer Huang was sent by Xu Wenbo, then now you only need to find Officer Huang and interrogate him separately, so that you can confess the real culprit behind the scenes. Zhou Bo said coldly.

Xu Wenbo's cold sweat hit again. He really hated Zhou Bo to death, but he didn't expect this guy to not only be extremely deep in the city, but also unforgiving. It's just that now he can't do anything, he originally thought that he could dominate the wind and clouds in Xiying and cover the sky with one hand, so he didn't tell Officer Huang some precautions at all, and at this moment, he couldn't send someone to inform Officer Huang. Once Officer Huang was brought in for private interrogation. There is no turning back.

Zhai Xuan glanced at Xu Wenbo deeply, there was pity and contempt in his eyes, he couldn't do anything cleanly and still expected to frame others? What a waste! He no longer had any mercy and forbearance, and ordered in a loud voice: "Wen Chao, you take a few of your subordinates and Yang Xiaowu to go to the Xu Mansion immediately, identify that Huang Officer, and then take Huang Officer back to Xiying for individual interrogation." ”

A military attache named Wen Chao immediately received the order and quickly summoned several soldiers from the western camp. Then he left the front hall with Yang Xiaowu and went directly to Xu Wenbo's mansion.

"Zhai Xianggong, Zhai Xianggong's father, and you are close friends, don't you believe it at all?" Xu Wenbo was completely desperate, he almost knelt down to Zhai Xuan and begged for mercy, but because of his last face, he insisted on just using words to express the fear in his heart.

"Hmph, as the capital of Xiying, it's just that you don't want to make progress. You even colluded with your subordinates to frame your new colleagues, don't you know that the army of the Qi people is 40 miles away? My Great Song Junwei is completely defeated by your pickled and the like. Zhai Xuan scolded with an angry face.

If Xu Wenbo stiffened his neck and was willing to be punished, Zhai Xuan would have taken the other party's integrity seriously, but now that the human and physical evidence have not been collected, this kid is already a soft bone, and he is really hopeless.

Zhou Bo saw the opportunity and walked in front of Xu Wenbo. asked coldly: "So, Xu Xiaoxianggong admitted that he was the real murderer behind the framing of a certain family?"

Although Xu Wenbo hates Zhou Bo now, the fact that he framed Zhou Bo will soon be revealed, and the worst result may even be killed, even though it seems that his father Junzhou's observation has saved Xu Yuanzhi's face. But in the future, when the reputation is ruined, where is the place to stand?

But for now, it's better to save your life first, and leave Qingshan without worrying about running out of firewood, if there is a chance to make a comeback in the future, this revenge must be returned tenfold.

He didn't answer Zhou Bo's words, but it gave everyone present the feeling that this was a tacit acquiescence.

Half an hour later, Officer Huang had already confessed to the fact that Xu Wenbo had framed Zhou Bo. Zhai Xuan sent someone to take Xu Wenbo away, and then sent someone to inform the Xu Mansion and tell Xu Yuanzhi about Xu Wenbo's incident. It didn't take long for this case of slander and framing to spread throughout Ezhou, and all forces in Ezhou were shocked. Of course, what these people were shocked by was not Xu Wenbo's slander and framing of his subordinates themselves, but that a small young man actually overthrew a big man!

In Ezhou officialdom, this kind of boss framing subordinates is not uncommon, as long as the subordinates are a little inconsiderate, it will make the boss hold a grudge. So these fathers and gentlemen don't pay attention to the case itself, but they don't understand why Zhou Bo can turn defeat into victory.

After this incident in the early morning of the West Battalion, both the officers and the petty soldiers in the battalion felt embarrassed. However, they finally saw a clue, that is, this newcomer was not easy to manage Zhou Bo, and he dared to call out to the majority of the capital within a few days of taking office, and he was very lucky to have the last laugh.

After Zhai Xuan dealt with Xu Wenbo's matter, he came to Xiying again that night. He sent a subordinate official to find Zhou Bo, and he came to the back hall where Xu Wenbo used to handle official business, and waited for Zhou Bo while wandering around.

It didn't take long for Zhou Bo to hurry to the back hall. Although he knew very well that Zhai Xuan had helped him in the final analysis, he still didn't have any good feelings for Zhai Xuan, an old fox. However, if he wants to take over Xu Wenbo to sit in the position of the capital of Xiying, he has to talk to Zhai Xuan a little more. When he heard that Zhai Xuan's subordinate said that Zhai Xuan wanted to see him, he had already thought of a routine in his heart.

When he came to the back hall and saw Zhai Xuan, who was facing away from him, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, and sincerely pleaded: "Xianggong Zhai, what happened this morning was a moment of anger on the job. Therefore, he collided with Zhai Xianggong many times, which was a mistake committed below the level of humility, and asked Zhai Xianggong to surrender. ”

Zhou Bo knew that the most important thing now was to gain Zhai Xuan's trust, maybe Zhai Xuan still had some trust in himself at first, but later he was aggressive and repeatedly contradicted Zhai Xuan without saying anything. even brought out Li Hui to suppress Zhai Xuan. After this, Zhai Xuan will definitely be very unhappy in his heart.

If you can't gain Zhai Xuan's trust now, then you will fall into a situation where no one is reliable in Ezhou, and then you are afraid that any political turmoil in Ezhou City will make you die without a place to be buried. This is like Xu Wenbo, but Xu Wenbo has an observant father anyway, who can save his life, and he is by no means so lucky.

Zhai Xuan turned around slowly, with an elusive smile on his face. He reached out and patted Zhou Bo on the shoulder. said: "What are you guilty of? Now the guilty thing is Xu Wenbo's unreasonable dog." Zhou Xunwu, you can rest assured, this matter has been dealt with strictly, and Xu Wenbo will be tried publicly in three days, and he will be guilty of whatever crime he should be guilty of, even if he is covered by his father, he will never be spared. ”

Zhou Bo was stunned, he understood very well that Zhai Xuan's words were not talking about Xu Wenbo, but about himself. Zhai Xuan meant to let him know. Xu Wenbo can be ousted from the stage with his father's support, if he doesn't have a tough backstage. That's not just stepping down, maybe it's guillotine.

He said again and again: "Zhai Xianggong enforces the law impartially, and he is a model for lowly duty. In fact, what happened this morning was completely Xu Wenbo's aggressiveness and deception, and he wanted to put his humble position to death. The humble position is precisely because he has just been promoted to the young capital of Xiying, and he has no relatives and no reason in Ezhou City. Once Xu Wenbo succeeds, I'm afraid that there will really be nowhere to turn over. ”

Zhai Xuan smiled, but didn't make a sound, he looked as if he was patient, slowly appreciating a play written and directed by Zhou Bo.

Zhou Bo naturally knew that a few words could not move Zhai Xuan. So there is no hurry.

He pretended to sigh and said: "If the lowly position is framed by Xu Wenbo's family, it is still a trivial matter, but before the lowly position was transferred from the command of Dong Jiajun, Dong Hao and Dong Shuai repeatedly taught the lowly position, saying that the lowly position can only be promoted by the grace of Zhai Xianggong, and this kindness must not be forgotten." Therefore, this morning, I saw that Zhai Xianggong intended to spare Xu Wenbo, so I was very anxious, Xu Wenbo was a villain, and if he failed this time, he would definitely frame him again in the future. If the humble position really makes Xu Wenbo calculate, then how should you serve Zhai Xianggong?"

"So, Zhou Xunwu is really sincere?" Zhai Xuan still asked with a smile, but at this time he was a little relieved that Zhou Bo mentioned Dong Hao's words. Although he has a lot of generals under his command, in the real sense, there is only Dong Hao who is willing to follow him, except for the army of Pingshengxiang's headquarters, as for Dong Xian and Zhang Yuan, they are just a false name, and in fact, they don't obey their own orders at all.

He knows very well that Dong Hao is a person who knows how to repay his kindness, and he is kind to Dong Hao, and Dong Hao naturally wants to repay it with all his heart, so it is understandable that Dong Hao instructed Zhou Hao when he was transferred to leave.

"If Zhai Xianggong asks the sincere words of the humble position, the humble position is only afraid of not daring to say it. Zhou Bo lowered his head and said, his face looked a little ugly.

"Oh, and to tell the truth, the most annoying thing about a certain family is those people who play tricks and are duplicitous, and Zhou Xunwu Xiu wants to bluff me. Zhai Xuan asked solemnly.

"Uh" Zhou Bo was embarrassed, and after a while, under Zhai Xuan's stern gaze, he finally spoke, "It's not a secret, in fact, the lowly position doesn't know much about Zhai Xianggong, and since the defeat of Xiangyang, the lowly post fled all the way to Sizhou, and fortunately met Dong Shuai to take him in and appointed as the general of the front battalion. In the heart of the lowly job, the most grateful person is Dong Shuai, and Zhai Xianggong is high, so he naturally won't pay attention to the little person like the lowly job. ”

Zhai Xuanzai carefully examined Zhou Bo, and he found that Zhou Bo was quite sincere when he said this, and he didn't seem to be lying. Although Zhou Bo's words showed that he was not the most respectful, and the most respected person was Dong Hao, but this alone was enough.

"Okay, very good, what a certain family appreciates most is honest and loyal people, Zhou Xunwu, your words are both honest and loyal, and a certain family will naturally not be angry with you. However, a certain family wants to warn you that you should be consistent in life, and I hope you will not live up to the hard work of a certain family. Zhai Xuan sighed and said.

Zhou Bo knew that Zhai Xuan already trusted himself a little, and he said solemnly: "Thanks to Zhai Xianggong's earnest teachings, I will never forget my humble duties until I die." ”

Zhai Xuan nodded, and suddenly the topic changed, stretched out and pointed to the furnishings on the four sides of the back hall, and then asked, "Zhou Bo, do you think the layout here is appropriate?"

Zhou Bo was slightly stunned, he understood that Zhai Xuan was tempting. The back hall is the place where the capital is in charge of official business, and it can also be said to represent the position of the capital, but now Zhai Xuan asked him how the back hall was arranged, which can be imagined as a hypothetical hint, what should he do if he becomes the capital manager.

He thought for a moment, leaned over and said to Zhai Xuan: "Zhai Xianggong thinks it is appropriate, then the humble position naturally thinks it is appropriate, if Zhai Xianggong thinks it is inappropriate, then the humble position will never be pleasing to the eye." ”

The subtext of this answer is to tell Zhai Xuan that if he can become the capital manager, he will be completely at the disposal of Zhai Xuan from now on, and Zhai Xuan will take the lead.

Zhai Xuan was very satisfied with Zhou Bo's answer, he stroked the beard on his fat chin, sighed leisurely, and then said: "This time Xu Wenbo has made an accident, and several forces in Ezhou City are ready to move, and they are salivating over the position of Xiying Daguan. Zhou Bo, you must know that some good things seem easy to get, but in fact, they are very difficult, and you have to do it yourself. ”

Zhou Bo replied: "The humble position naturally understands what Zhai Xianggong means, and Zhai Xianggong's kindness to the reinvention of the humble position, the humble position will be reciprocated by a spring, and it will not swerve until death." ”

"Very good, with your words, a certain family's heart is comfortable and tight. Zhai Xuan said with a smile.

He paused, and then said: "Although Xiying is not the most important one in the Ezhou grain and grass camp, and Li Hui, the old horseman, has already taken the lead and arranged two deputy envoys to try to control Xiying. Hmph, if a certain Pingshengxiang army wants to gain a foothold in Ezhou at the moment, it must have enough logistics and material support, so most of the Xiying are in charge of this position, and a certain armor is bound to win. ”

Zhou Bo secretly rejoiced, since Zhai Xuan scolded Li Hui in front of him, then of course he already regarded himself as his own family. He sighed in line with Zhai Xuan's tone, and said: "Li Xuanfu Xianggong is too unkind, no matter what, he has to deal with Zhai Xianggong regardless of the importance or slowness, it can really be described as a chicken belly." ”

"You're right. Zhai Xuan nodded.

"But Zhai Xianggong, most of the vacancies in this Xiying are in charge, I'm afraid that there will be no suitable candidates for a while. Even if he wants to repay the favor of Zhai Xianggong, his qualifications are still shallow, and he has no merits, and he is also a party in Xu Wenbo's case this time, so I am afraid that all aspects of Ezhou will not let the lowly position take the position. Zhou Bo no longer knocked on Zhai Xuan's side, and directly spread out the words and said.

"It's a real problem, but don't worry, there's a way for it. What a certain family is worried about now is whether you will be able to suppress the overall situation of Xiying after you take the position. As you said, your qualifications are still shallow, and there must be many people under you who are not convinced. If you can't do it, say it as soon as possible, and a certain family can find someone else to take over Xiying. Zhai Xuan said unhurriedly. (To be continued.) )
