Xu Wenbo asked unhurriedly: "Say!"

Wang Gui said: "Yesterday, it wasn't Xiaodi who invited Lord Zhou to drink, it was Lord Zhou's new official who took office and asked Xiaodi and the two of them to share the dividends. The two of them didn't have much money, and they couldn't make up the dividends, so they had to ask Lord Zhou to drink instead. In addition, last night, Lord Zhou cheated when he was drinking and drunk the two of them, but he didn't have a big deal. Early this morning, after the two of them woke up, they felt that something was wrong, so they immediately went to the granary in the West District to check, but they didn't expect it to be ........."

Speaking of this, he also sighed solemnly, with a look of self-reproach.

Xu Wenbo was furious again, pointed at Zhou Bo and said: "Okay, you are a thief, you obviously blackmailed your subordinates, so you took the opportunity to get your subordinates drunk, and then stole military rations privately for profit." I thought you had made military achievements and were a reliable person, but I didn't expect you to be such a shameless person. ”

Zhou Bo immediately became furious and scolded Wang Gui and Yang Xiaowu: "You two pickled villains actually made up lies to frame me. Xu Xiaoxianggong, you have to be clear. ”

Xu Wenbo snorted coldly and said: "If you still want to quibble, pull me down left and right, and first whip me fifty, and then condemn you to death after I have made Li Xianggong and Zhai Xianggong clear." ”

Zhou Bo snorted coldly in his heart: Okay, you Xu Wenbo, beat me first and then kill me, it's really vicious.

The soldier was about to step forward to twist Zhou Bo, when Zhou Bo suddenly shouted: "Xu Xiaoxianggong, Wang Gui and Yang Xiaowu kept saying that I stole twenty-five stones of grain and grass, but there is real evidence?"

Xu Wenbo sneered and said, "Wang Gui and Yang Xiaowu are both certified, and besides, you transferred the guards guarding the Western District last night without authorization. These guards can also testify. Come. Pull away. ”

Zhou Bo shouted again: "Wait." Since Xu Xiaoxianggong said that I stole military rations, please ask Xu Xiaoxianggong to take me to the granary scene to have a look, so as not to make people think that Xu Xiaoxianggong is guilty of humiliation for fabricating things for no reason. ”

"Bold, you thief bird, you are really unrepentant, and you dare to frame Bendu Guan when you are dying!" Xu Wenbo said angrily.

"Your Excellency. Since there is real evidence, are you still afraid of seeing people?" Zhou Boshen argued.

Xu Wenbo was stunned, turned his head and gestured to Wang Gui and Yang Xiaowu with his eyes. After receiving the report from Wang Gui and Yang Xiaowu just now, he immediately sent someone to arrest Zhou Bo, but he never went to the granary in the western district to check the truth. Because all this was originally planned, as long as the crime was established, Zhou Bo didn't even want to turn over.

Wang Gui and Yang Xiaowu only thought that Zhou Bo was in a hurry and held a fluke mentality, and they didn't care much about anything, but the cart of granary last night was pushed out by themselves. So they nodded secretly to Xu Wenbo, indicating that everything was under control. There won't be any bad pools.

"Okay, Zhou Bo. Pontus will convince you, so that everyone will know that Bendu is impartial. Someone came, escorted Zhou Bo to the west granary. Xu Wenbo said coldly.

The group walked out of the side courtyard and walked directly to the granary in the west district. At this time, it was still early, and the guards in the western area had not yet been handed over, so no one had opened the granary to inspect until now. When I came to the front of the granary gate in the West District, sure enough, as explained by Wang Gui and Yang Xiaowu, the guards here had already been taken away, and there was no one in sight until now, so everyone believed that Zhou Bo was a thief.

Xu Wenbo escorted Zhou Ming to the nearest granary in front of the main entrance, and then said to Wang Gui: "Go, open the granary." ”

Wang Gui immediately beckoned the two soldiers, opened the granary, and said, "Please see, my lord, there is a stack of grain and grass missing from the granary, and there are traces of wheels near the door, which is very obvious. ”

Xu Wenbo looked at Zhou Bo coldly and asked, "What else do you have to say?"

"Dare to ask Xu Xiaoxianggong, how much grain and grass is there in this grain grassland? If you guess correctly, it should be 789 stones. Zhou Bo shouted again.

Chen Xianzhi, the deputy envoy of the left capital who was standing on the side, nodded and said to Xu Wenbo: "This granary does store seven hundred and eighty-nine stones of grain and grass. ”

"What, what do you want to say?" asked Xu Wenbo as he kicked Zhou Bo.

"Please Xu Xiaoxiang to verify how much grain and grass there is in the granary, otherwise he will not accept his humble position. Zhou Bo shouted unrelentingly.

"Hmph, I see what else you can do. Deputy Envoy Chen and Senior Deputy Envoy, you will send someone to count the grain and grass in the granary now. Xu Wenbo said patiently.

Chen Xianzhi and Gao Xue immediately took the order and left, and after a period of counting, the results came out immediately, but the two of them couldn't believe it at all. Immediately, they counted again, but they didn't expect the result to be the same. So they walked out of the granary with a rather heavy face and came to Xu Wenbo, but they didn't know how to report.

"Why is it so long? What are you doing?" Xu Wenbo's patience was long gone.

"Xu Duguan, something is wrong with this. Chen Xianzhi said in a low voice.

"What's wrong?" Xu Wenbo was stunned, he seemed to see some bad signs from Chen Xianzhi's face.

"Wang Gui and Yang Xiaowu's words are not right, there is not a single stone of grain and grass in this warehouse, seven hundred and eighty-nine stones, intact. Chen Xianzhi reported calmly.

"How is it possible, go and recount it for me again. Xu Wenbo couldn't believe it.

"Xu Duguan, Deputy Envoy Gao and I have already counted twice, and the score is exactly the same. Is this a mistake?" Chen Xianzhi said again.

Xu Wenbo immediately turned around and glared at Wang Gui and Yang Xiaowu who were standing at the door of the granary. Wang Gui and Yang Xiaowu had just heard Chen Xianzhi's report, and the two of them were already dumbfounded. They really didn't go to check the granary this morning, because when they got up, they found Zhou Bo sleeping soundly, and the guards at the gate of the West District had already been opened, so it was impossible for this matter to happen.

But the current result surprised the two of them. This is completely impossible, last night six people obviously pushed out more than sixty stones of grain and grass from this grain and grass, how could it not change at all?

"Wang Gui, what the hell is going on?" Xu Wenbo immediately shouted.

"It's ............ This, this little bottom is really not very clear. This ............" Wang Gui suddenly didn't know what to say. If you talk too much, you're afraid of revealing the secret. But don't say how do you get out?

Yang Xiaowu on the side knew that something was going to go wrong, he originally asked Wang Gui to go to Xiying to check first this morning, but he knew that Wang Gui was originally a lazy person, and he was busy all night yesterday, so he was sleepy in the morning. It's good now, it's because of a moment of snooze, and it's all planted all of a sudden. At this time, it is impossible to continue to frame Zhou Bo, it should be mainly for self-preservation.

He was in a hurry. hurriedly smiled and said, "Xu Duguan, this ......... This may have been a misunderstanding, the two of them came to inspect the granary this morning, and Chad saw that the granary was missing a stack, so he thought it was stolen........."

Of course, Xu Wenbo also understood that this matter could not be pursued, so he sighed and scolded Wang Gui and Yang Xiaowu: "You two stupid people, you came to report the loss before you figured it out, and framed Zhongliang, what crime should you be guilty of!"

Yang Xiaowu and Wang Gui hurriedly knelt down in fright. Begging for mercy.

Gao Xue said kindly at this time: "Xu Duguan, it's no wonder that Yang Xiaowu and Wang Gui are in this matter." They also saw that there was a stack of grain and grass missing from the granary, and they didn't find out the reason in a hurry. ”

Of course, Xu Wenbo will not really punish Yang Xiaowu and Wang Gui, after all, these two people are doing things for themselves, and if they are forced to be anxious, I am afraid that they will bite back. Immediately, he took advantage of Gao Xue's steps to come down and said: "Let's read it for the sake of the senior deputy envoy to intercede for you, today's matter will be stopped for the time being, and you should quickly make amends to Zhou Duguan." ”

Everyone else present knew that Xu Wenbo was trying to perfunctory the past, because there were still many contradictions in this matter. For example, Wang Gui and Yang Xiaowu accused Zhou Bo of blackmailing them yesterday in advance, and if Zhou Bo was convicted of stealing grain and grass, Zhou Bo would naturally be blamed for this matter. But now that Zhou Bo has cleared his name, it seems that Wang Gui and Yang Xiaowu are really going to frame Zhou Bo.

In addition, now that Xu Wenbo wants to protect these two people, is there a deeper connection between them?

At this time, Wang Gui and Yang Xiaowu had already received amnesty, and hurriedly ran to Zhou Bo, helped him up, and apologized for a while with a flattering smile.

Zhou Bo snorted coldly, after Yang Xiaowu and Wang Gui left with the cart last night, he immediately ran to another granary and transferred grain and grass to fill this granary, and still deliberately left that pile of vacancies, the purpose was to give Yang Xiaowu and Wang Gui an excuse to beg for mercy, and further induce Xu Wenbo to say the partiality just now.

Seeing Wang Gui and Yang Xiaowu begging for mercy from him, he doesn't have any sympathy now, he has worked hard to arrange this trap, if there is no result, wouldn't it be too sorry for people.

"Xu Xiaoxianggong, aren't you underestimating this matter too much?" Zhou Bo pushed Wang Gui and Yang Xiaowu away, and then asked Xu Wenbo directly.

"What, is there anything else Zhou Duguan is dissatisfied with?" Xu Wenbo was originally annoyed by the failure of the framing plan, but when he heard Zhou Bo's tone again, he suddenly became even more angry.

"Does Xu Xiaoxiang really think that Wang Gui and Yang Xiaowu were wronged because of a misunderstanding?" Zhou Bo didn't back down at all, and asked step by step.

"I don't care what you want to say? I don't know which pile of grain and grass that is not long-sighted, it is so empty that anyone who looks at it will think that the grain and grass are stolen." Xu Wenbo said without saying anything.

"Even if there is a vacancy in the granary, why would Deputy Envoy Chen insist on losing twenty-five stones of grain and grass before? Dare to ask Deputy Envoy Chen, have you ever been to this granary this morning?" Zhou Bo asked with a serious face.

Chen Xianzhi was stunned, of course he didn't want to get into trouble as an outsider, so he said: "I really didn't come to the granary this morning, and the loss of twenty-five stones of grain and grass was said by Wang Gui when he reported the case to Xu Duguan. ”

Wang Gui's face suddenly turned pale.

Zhou Bo didn't give Xu Wenbo and Wang Gui a chance to quibble, and forced Wang Gui violently, and deliberately used his body to block between Wang Gui and Xu Wenbo, and asked: "How do you know that there are twenty-five stones of grain and grass missing? I don't believe that you can judge so accurately with your visual inspection." Say, "Did you steal grain and grass, and blame me on it?"

In the face of Zhou Bo's aggressive tone and the scrutinizing gaze of everyone on the scene, Wang Gui was extremely nervous in his heart, and once a person is nervous, he will always unconsciously leak flaws. Wang Gui swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, his face was full of horror, and he didn't know how to defend himself at this time.

Xu Wenbo couldn't hold his breath, and immediately interjected: "Zhou Du cares about you too much, Wang Gui has been working in Xiying for so long, can't you see how much grain and grass there is in this pile?"

Hearing Xu Wenbo's words, Wang Gui plucked up his courage again and again and said: "Yes, yes, Xiao Di is the Ti Zhi, and the placement of this grain and grass is a matter of responsibility, of course, you can see at a glance how much is missing." ”

"Deputy Envoy Chen, how long have you been in Xiying?" Zhou Bo suddenly turned to Chen Xianzhi and asked.

"Well, it's been three or five years, to say the least. After all, Chen Xianzhi had received Zhou Bo's benefits before, and since this was a misunderstanding, there was no need for him to continue to offend Zhou Bo, so he answered truthfully.

"Then if it were you, would you be able to recognize at a glance how much grain and grass was missing?" asked Zhou Bo.

"Uh, this ......... It's really hard to say. Chen Xianzhi replied, each granary is different in size, even if he is full of experience, it is impossible to distinguish the number of grain and grass stacks by eyesight alone. If there are really such powerful people, do you still need to count every time you enter and exit the grain and grass?

The reason why Chen Xianzhi dared to tell the truth was because he was Li Hui's person, and he didn't have to look at Xu Wenbo's face at all. What's more, he deliberately wanted to show favor to Zhou Bo, and Zhou Bo would definitely repay himself afterwards. As for Wang Gui, a small person, he has no oil and water at all, so what does he care if he lives or dies?

Zhou Bo turned to Wang Gui again and asked, "Even Deputy Envoy Chen can't do it, how can you do it?"

Wang Gui was frightened, and hurriedly probed his brain to look at Xu Wenbo.

Xu Wenbo is now angry and anxious, he is in charge of most of the western camp, and he is going to be so embarrassed by a young man? Even if he talks about it, does he want to protect Wang Gui and look at the face of a young man? He said angrily: "Zhou Bo, don't you don't know what to do. You're a newcomer, how do you know that Wang Gui can't see it?"

The way he spoke seemed to be admonishing Zhou Bo, "I said that Wang Gui could see it, and he could see it"!

Zhou Bo saw Xu Wenbo's increasingly angry appearance, and his heart became more and more happy. He is using his anger to make Xu Wenbo lose his mind, so that the other party will show more flaws.

"Xu Xiaoxianggong, the person who has been wronged now is a lowly position, why do you have to speak for this person who framed a lowly position everywhere? Isn't it a ........." He deliberately said only half of the words, anyway, the following did not come out, everyone can think whatever they like.

"Zhou Bo, how dare you insinuate? You and Wang Gui have no evidence for this matter, as the capital of Xiying, in order to prevent this matter from causing discord within my Xiying, I hope that the big thing will be turned into a small matter. Although Xu Wenbo was annoyed, he had to respond to Zhou Bo's lethal words.

"It's just so that there won't be some scum in my Xiying, so I want to get things straight. Zhou Bo said unrelentingly. He asked Wang Gui again, "You invited me to drink under the pretext of inviting me to drink last night, and just now you flatly denied it, accusing me of blackmailing you and Yang Xiaowu, how do you explain this matter?"

Wang Gui swallowed and said, "Well, Xiaodi may have been drunk yesterday and forgot to sleep and dream, I can't remember what happened.......... I can't remember." ”

Yang Xiaowu nodded again and again, and said in agreement: "I was drunk yesterday, misunderstanding, misunderstanding." ”

Zhou Bo sneered: "Both of them are drunk, and they still have the same dream?" (To be continued.) )
