Zhou Kongmu looked at the guest in front of him in surprise.

The guests' clothes are very ordinary, neither tall nor short, and every pore shows the tiredness of a long journey.

"A regular traveler! It can't be anything else! Ordinary people would say the same thing when they saw him.

But Zhou Kongmu noticed his cold and stern eyes.

This is the look that will only come after seeing too much life and death, and if you continue to control life and death.

Tang Taishou will deal with some death row prisoners every year, and even every month. But Tang Taishou would not have such eyes. Because after the official became too guarded, he was not so directly touched by the loss of life. It's nothing more than an ink painting on paper. At most, the unkempt prisoners were escorted to the bottom of the hall by the officials, kowtowed, shouted grievances, drew a charge, and went down again. So much for.

Taishou is a big official, not a front-line official.

What do the officials talk about in vain to control life and death, what will happen if they really see the murder scene? There is a joke that a civil official sent a prisoner to behead a rebellious left servant to shoot, which was a great crime, so he was beheaded.

The ghost-headed knife was made of pure steel. Good steel at the end! In this way, the waist bone can be cut with a knife. The ghost face cast by the knife head is said to be able to suppress the evil spirit of a qiē ghost. Otherwise, the desperate and terrible ghost cry condensed on this knife day and night will make the chief executioner, who has a round waist and thick shoulders, weighs hundreds of pounds, stands there like a mountain, eats hundreds of prawns every meal, and has not changed his face since childhood, will not dare to touch the handle of his knife.

The sun shines brightly at noon. The sleek, sleek, warden ducked, nervously tugging at the little bit of his beard that was so scarcely invisible.

The knife swung from the executioner's hand as lightly and confidently as a beauty's fan. The skin cracked like water, the veins and tendons broke like withered grass, and the bones groaned and cracked. The upper body of the victim was removed, light, without pain, and he fell to the side, his face pressed against the dirt, and his neck turned a little angle, and he saw his legs.

And belly intestines.

The gag flew out, and the prisoner's throat made an indescribable sound. The sound startled the warden at the time. He was seriously ill for three years. After getting well. He invented one thing. It's called "hemp walnut". It looked like it was a walnut, and it did use walnut shells as raw materials, but a machine spring was added to it, and the prisoner could no longer open his mouth.

The idea was reported. He got promoted. And "hemp walnut" has also become the standard.

In the eyes of the first-line officials such as Zhou Kongmu and the legendary six doors in Beijing. "Adults" are naturally decent, but when it comes to human life, masculinity does not end with hemp walnuts. Only them! The person directly responsible for throwing the life into the cell and guillotine. will have such a tired breath and cool eyes.

Now this guest who came from afar, with a simple and vigorous gesture, lifted the placket and showed the sign of the six doors to Zhou Kongmu.

The card is cast in bronze, very old, with a deep light, and carved clouds and smoke on it. Yunkai six roads, all the way with eyes, all the way with hands, all with knives, all the way with fire, all the way with feet, all the way with hearts. It's also very beautiful.

Zhou Kongmu's hands trembled.

He's an insider. The weight of this brand is best understood only by insiders.

For example, an illiterate person who can't read big characters and sees an inscription on the dragon flying and phoenix dancing is also good-looking, but that's it. But when people in the calligraphy industry saw it, they might suddenly burst into tears.

For example, a straight man has never had an aesthetic taste, and when he sees a woman's curly hair, red and white face, and fluttering dress, he is also good-looking, and maybe he has a desire to ask for it, which is not unappreciated. But only a woman who is also immersed in beauty, seeing the thoughts, money, and energy spent from head to toe, will her knees soften and worship.

For example, a boss who sees a person's English score in the test does not know the level and nods vaguely. But only the candidates in the same period, when they see this score, will bite their fingers and stare at them, chirp and roll, and call: Xueba! Xueba! Icy and snowy, kneel and beg for a review method!

Only when you have spent your efforts can you know the good and the bad, and you can see the precious.

Zhou Kongmu saluted the stranger respectfully--to be honest, he was much more respectful than Tang Taishou, who had the grace of knowing and was also a parent of food and clothing--what advice did the chief have here?

The chief of the six gates of the capital replied: No need to be polite. He came this time, and it was not the usual officialdom to come down.

According to the usual way, he had to send a letter from a qualified administrative official, escort him to Jincheng, recommend it to Tang Taishou, and give the tolerance to Tang Taishou, who would then assign qualified torturers to assist.

But he came directly to Zhou Kongmu.

Zhou Kongmu understands that this can only show that the matter is more serious and mysterious.

Really! He asked Zhou Kongmu, how much do you know about Xie Fu?

The event that Zhou Kongmu quickly remembered was: Jincheng Lin Ruhai went bankrupt.

To be precise, Lin Ruhai has passed away, and if he wants to go bankrupt, it should be Lin Yili, the heir of the law and etiquette, who is bankrupt. But everyone knows that this heir is just an ornament. His sister Lin Daiyu was helping him with his ideas. Lin Ruhai's only favorite concubine Rong Bo before his death relied on holding part of the power in the mansion. Xie Fu Ming helped the Lin sisters and brothers. And the stewards that Lin Ruhai used back then continue to be in charge of the operation of the business in fact. The firms have collapsed, and the stewards have been unlucky. The little concubine Rongbo was unlucky. The Lin sisters and brothers are also unlucky!

Isn't this all the money left behind by Lin Ruhai gone, and all the people left behind are suffering?

Therefore, people are used to saying that Lin Ruhai is bankrupt, but they will not mention Lin Yili.

This poor baby, as soon as he fell into the golden nest, the golden nest was empty. Is it a broom star? - Otherwise, there is no way to explain the rapid decay of Lin Ruhai's family property!

Zhou Kongmu eats a public meal, and he doesn't believe in any broom, white tiger or anything...... He didn't want to get a job in Yingtianjian!

Zhou Kongmu only thinks about people's hearts.

The human heart is much more treacherous and powerful than the will of heaven and even the ghosts and gods.

Zhou Kongmu tried to understand the ins and outs of Lin Ruhai's downfall, but once he came, the information sharing channel between Licheng and Jincheng was not so smooth after all. Second, Zhou Kongmu is really not a master of finance, scratching his head and staring at the idea of transcribing the account book, and the final conclusion is: Well, the old steward Cui Shuanghui didn't take care of it, and the money was all lost. And then he collected the rest of the money and ran away?

It's no different from the information that ordinary people have!

Up and down, everyone is scolding Cui Shuanghui for betraying the master. Some people also said a fair word: After Lin Xie's left, Lin Ruhai's business empire has been conservative and lost its aura, and it is difficult to return! How can Cui Shuanghui return to the sky with one hand? Losing money is like an avalanche, if he doesn't run, the rest of his life will be over. Absconded with the money, and left a coffin book!

These three views are not correct, and they don't talk about him. In short, when the governor of the six gates of the capital asked, Zhou Kongmu had no choice but to admit that he was really powerless about the bankruptcy case of leaving the city.

The chief of the six doors of the capital was surprised and said: Who wants to investigate the bankruptcy case? Deliberately ran from the capital to Xubei Road, and covered people's eyes, is it just for a legacy behind weaving? What a joke!

Zhou Kongmu, who was despised, had no choice but to ask shamelessly: What about you...... Why the hell is here?

The chief wants to ask about the dynamics of the Xie Mansion two years ago.

Zhou Kongmu was really stunned! Thinking about it, only Xie Yunhua's death and Xie Yunjian's acceptance of a fairy are more special.

Alas, poor Yunhua! As the sixth lady of Xie Fu, Zhou Kongmu, who was so light and so impartial and righteous, talked about her death, and felt that the importance was similar to that of Xie Yunjian's acceptance of a minion - if not that it was even inferior.

So the chief pursued these two things.

When tracking down Zhang Shenxian, he was not in a hurry to find out what ideas he had for Yun Jiandu, but only asked Zhang Shenxian what people he was close to and what he usually had dealings with. When tracking down Xie Yunhua, it was found that there was anything suspicious about her death.

Zhang Shenxian has no roots and no roots, but it's okay. Xie Yunhua's death is really suspicious when investigated. This kind of secret fighting of the daughters of rich and noble families, if you don't check it, no one has a lot of things to do, you have to check it, in the eyes of the husband, you really can't fight for a few rounds.

It is clear that it is the first and weakest chess piece to be destroyed in the process of competing for favor!

――The chief of the six gates of the capital came to Jincheng, specifically for such a minion and a dead chess?

The chief smiled, and for the first time gave Zhou Kong a thorough understanding: there are nobles who want to do some background details to understand. What nobles, don't ask.

Zhou Kongmu first snorted, and then thought about it, and was terrified: Is this someone who wants to promote Xie Yunshi? Or reuse Xie Yunjian? Or re-enable Xie Xiaoheng? I'm afraid that there is something wrong with the Xie family, so I understand it?

So someone ...... Isn't it the emperor!

Zhou Kongmu knew the severity very well, and suddenly he didn't dare to come out. Not a single squeak.

The governor of the capital did not seem to be satisfied with the results of the investigation, and hesitated, like a rat head spinning a rat's nest. Zhou Kongmu waited to hear what the leader had to say.

Before the insights came, the new information came out:

Yun Hui and her biological mother, Aunt Liu Si, are dead!

It is said that he accidentally fell into the lotus pond and drowned. It was also hot weather, the girl was greedy for cold and water, suddenly cramped, panicked, but drowned deeper, and her mother was eager to save her daughter, so she also followed.

According to what Zhou Kongmu learned, Xie Fu also knew the inside story of Aunt Liu's mother and daughter fighting for favor and killing Xie Yunhua, and when he noticed that someone was coming to investigate, he was afraid of making a fool of himself, so he directly killed the culprit of the ugly thing in order to protect the family's reputation.

For a long time, as long as Zhou Kongmu dares to tell the inside story, it must be the truth. He has that self-confidence.

The governor of the capital still hesitated and said, "Why don't you ...... You went to Lin's new house to report a message? ”

Lin Dai's sisters and brothers have now moved out of Ming Shaofang Xie Mansion and live by themselves.

All for the bankruptcy of the business and Cui Shuanghui's absconding. Lin Dai claimed that he was shameless and lived in his grandmother's house again, and finally got his wish and moved out to live alone.

Come out of the house, take a long breath, although it has not yet reached the point where the sky is high and the birds can fly, so I don't cry anymore and lock to the golden cage to listen!

Xie Fu had a funeral, but he still had to report it to Lin Dai.

Could it be that the governor of the capital actually suspected that Miss Lin played a role in this matter? I actually wanted Zhou Kongmu to listen. But too careful! (To be continued......)
