Chapter 354: Ascension

Of course, even if the final result is not as Gongsun Jian thought, Gongsun Jian will not suffer.

After all, the system wizard ran away, and he groped for the function of the system, so he could only do it on his own.

If this mysterious clue is not useful, then if it is encountered again in the future, Gongsun Jian can completely give up this choice.

Seeing that Gongsun Jian had been staring at him, Wu Hei over there was a little nervous.

If he usually met Gongsun Jian, he would definitely not be nervous.

But the problem is that he has a ghost in his heart, and he almost hit the board just now, which makes Wu Hei now have a shadow of Gongsun Jian in his heart.

So, it's normal for him to be a little nervous at this time.

After a long time, Wu Hei used his dry throat to shout incredulously: "My lord, how could I take the heirloom jade? Are you mistaken? ”

"Misunderstanding?" Gongsun Jian snorted coldly, and then glanced at him with disdain, "What do you have that I need to misunderstand?" ”

These words directly blocked Wu Hei, who was already nervous, speechless.

However, fortunately, he still has parents.

Seeing that Gongsun Jian pointed out that his son stole his family's things, the Wu family and his wife naturally didn't believe it.

After all, there's no reason to believe it!

So, hurry up and help your son speak.

It's just that after all, Gongsun Jian is a county order, so they didn't dare to speak ill of each other at all, so they could only euphemistically express their opinions.

"My lord, you are definitely mistaken, how could Xiao Hei need to steal his own things? Doesn't he want me to give it to him directly? Lao Wu hurriedly smiled while defending his son.

"That's right, Lord Gongsun, Xiao Hei is not necessary at all!" On the other hand, Lao Wu's wife also said good things about her son.

At this time, the two of them began to regret letting their son report the case, otherwise they would not have been able to touch the unreliable county order of Gongsun Jian.

After all, who would have thought that as soon as Gongsun Jian, the county magistrate, arrived at home, he would say that his son Wu Hei was a thief.

If you follow the temper of ordinary Great Zhou officials, you can hear the words of this Wu family couple, even if you know that their son Wu Hei is a thief.

Maybe it's just going to be gone.

After all, the county commander is also a human being, and he also has a temper.

However, Gongsun Jian can't, he must complete the task and obtain that mysterious clue that looks mysterious.

Therefore, he did not leave, and said directly to the Wu family and his wife: "Why don't we make a bet?" ”

To be honest, Gongsun Jian really didn't want to bet with others casually like a child.

But there is no way, he only has this one choice now.

"Bet on what?" Lao Wu over there didn't react and asked directly.

"How about betting that Wu Hei is the one who took the heirloom jade?" With a slight smile, Gongsun Jian said.

Hearing this, Lao Wu, who had already reacted over there, was a little apprehensive.

Of course, he still believes that his son is not a thief, and the reason why he is worried is only because of this bet, no matter whether Gongsun Jian wins or loses, he will not be able to benefit.

If Gongsun Jian loses, then don't think about it, even if Gongsun Jian doesn't say anything, there must still be a thorn in his heart.

But if he wins, with his obstruction of Gongsun Jian just now, and his son's theft of his own precious jade, his son will definitely go in and squat for a while.

After all, as long as you report the crime, it will be difficult if you want to tear it off.

Although Lao Wu will definitely not pursue it, Gongsun Jian's county order may not be said.

It is precisely because of this that when he heard Gongsun Jian's words, Lao Wu was a little apprehensive and a little embarrassed.

In fact, not only him, but also Lao Wu's wife beside him, she also thought of the consequences.

It's a pity that Wu Hei on the side, perhaps in order to "repay" the help of his parents just now, directly took advantage of the stunned kung fu of the old Wu couple and agreed to Gongsun Jian's bet.

"My lord, I'll take this bet." Wu Hei said confidently.

After all, he believed that as long as he didn't say it, Gongsun Jian's county order would never be found.

As soon as these words were said, Gongsun Jian opposite Wu Hei was full of joy, but on the contrary, the old Wu couple was not very good.

In a panic, Lao Wu hurriedly said to Gongsun Jian: "My lord, Xiao'er is talking nonsense, don't take it seriously." ”

"That's right, my lord, Xiao Hei's head is not very smart, and he likes to talk nonsense." On the other hand, Lao Wu's wife was also talking beside her, perhaps to make Gongsun Jian's heart soft, she also belittled her son a little.

"Mother, when did I stop being smart, how can you say that?" Wu Hei on the side saw that his mother said that he had a problem with his head, and immediately refuted unhappily.

It's a pity that as soon as he finished his rebuttal, Lao Wu slapped him on the head.

Then he said to Gongsun Jian with an apologetic face: "My lord, why don't you go back to the yamen first, and then I will invite you to have a meal in the Evergreen Building in the evening, and talk to you about the case?" ”

Regarding the meaning of Lao Wu's words, Gongsun Jian naturally understood that it must be Lao Wu who wanted him to expose this case.

So, now I started to urge myself to leave.

Even, Gongsun Jian suspected that Lao Wu must be wondering if he, the county commander, was using this matter as a handle to make a fortune from him.

I have to say that Gongsun Jian's guess is indeed very correct, and that's what Lao Wu thinks in his heart at this time.

That's why he let Gongsun Jian leave first, and when he waited for the evening, he prepared a heavy gift and let Gongsun Jian let him go.

As for the matter of the heirloom jade, Lao Wu no longer expects Gongsun Jian to help.

Because he was afraid that Gongsun Jian was a glutton, he kept using this handle to blackmail them. So now he just wants to quickly reveal this matter.

Although Gongsun Jian on the side knew that Lao Wu wanted to let him leave, it was useless for him to think about it. After all, as long as Gongsun Jian dies and doesn't leave, Lao Wu has no way to take him.

It's a pity that the situation of his son cheating on his father often occurs, and when Lao Wu was thinking about how to let Gongsun Jian leave, Wu Hei's words almost made Lao Wu, who was very anxious, beat him to death.

"My lord, I'll take this bet, and I'll be in charge." Wu Hei may have come late in the rebellious period, so when he saw that his parents had not agreed.

With a twitch of his brain, he confidently accepted Gongsun Jian's bet.

Hearing his son's words that almost made him faint on the spot, Lao Wu may have forgotten that Gongsun Jian, the county order, was still here, and he didn't know where the strength came from, so he directly lifted the chair next to him and wanted to smash it on Wu Hei.

"You rebel, Lao Tzu will kill you today." Lao Wu roared like thunder.

Fortunately, the chair didn't fall down after all, not to mention that Lao Wu was old, and Wu Hei was not as agile as Wu Hei, when Lao Wu lifted the chair, Wu Hei had already avoided it.

Moreover, Gu Qing, who was standing next to Gongsun Jian, was not an idle person, perhaps to please Gongsun Jian, so when Lao Wu lifted the chair, Gu Qing grabbed it, making Lao Wu unable to move.

It was only at this time that Lao Wu remembered that there was still a county order by his side.

So he hurriedly put down his chair, clasped his fists at Gongsun Jian, and began to apologize.

"My lord, the villain was so angry just now that he didn't notice that you were still there."

Smiling slightly, Gongsun Jian over there hurriedly spoke: "Wu Yuanwai, it is absolutely impossible to teach your children to use violence. ”

Lao Wu over there naturally understood that what Gongsun Jian said was very reasonable, but he was just too angry just now.

Therefore, he hurriedly said to Gongsun Jian embarrassedly: "What the adults teach is that the villain must pay attention next time." ”

Nodding, Gongsun Jian looked at Wu Hei over there, smiled and asked, "Are you sure you want to bet with me?" ”

If it was before, when they heard that Gongsun Jian would continue to gamble, Lao Wu and his wife would definitely say good things again and let Gongsun Jian let go.

This time, though, was different.

Because they heard another meaning from Gongsun Jian's words, that is, Gongsun Jian didn't seem to have any intention of pursuing his son's affairs.

After all, when Gongsun Jian spoke just now, he claimed to be using me, not his own official.

This self-proclaimed change can show that Gongsun Jian doesn't seem to want to put this matter on the surface, and just wants to let his son admit his mistake in a private capacity.

For a while, the old Wu couple who were worried about whether Gongsun Jian would threaten them with this matter instantly became happy.

"My lord, I agreed for my child." Lao Wu on the side hurriedly spoke.

This sentence made Wu Hei a little baffled, after all, his father didn't agree to the gambling contract just now?

Why did it suddenly change its meaning now, and it was too fast, right?

While feeling in his heart that his father changed his face too quickly, Wu Hei, who was still in the rebellious period, immediately objected.

After all, the reason why he agreed to the gambling contract just now was because he saw his parents blocking him.

But now that the two of them are supportive, Wu Hei naturally has to oppose it.

It's a pity that Gongsun Jian didn't wait for him to react, so he said to Lao Wu with a straight face: "Since you agreed, then don't be soft-hearted for a while!" ”

"No, no." The old Wu couple quickly shook their heads.

Since Gongsun Jian didn't want to blackmail them with this matter, then they naturally had nothing to worry about.

Since Gongsun Jian, the county commander, is willing to teach Wu Hei, an unfilial son, a lesson, then the old Wu couple is of course willing.

They can't do anything to their own flesh and blood, but Gongsun Jian, an outsider, is different.

Seeing that these few people had settled the matter in a few words, Wu Hei over there almost vomited blood, and he was about to open his mouth to oppose it.

It's a pity that before he could speak, the old Wu couple over there didn't know what to think, so they actually said to Gongsun Jian: "My lord, you interrogate Xiao Hei here first, and we will wait for you to investigate the case in other places." ”

Perhaps it was Gongsun Jian's statement just now that made them think that maybe the heirloom treasure jade was indeed secretly taken by his son, so they began to believe Gongsun Jian at this time.

Nodding, Gongsun Jian glanced at Wu Hei, and then said to the old Wu couple: "This is okay, otherwise, you will definitely feel distressed later." ”

Seeing that Gongsun Jian agreed, Lao Wu and his wife didn't even have the mood to take a look at Wu Hei, and disappeared directly.

I am your son!

Looking at the backs of his parents, Wu Hei couldn't help but shout in his heart.

Seeing Lao Wu and his wife leaving, Gongsun Jian here also let go of the worries in his heart.

After all, it would be difficult to get Wu Hei, a young man in the rebellious period, to admit that he had stolen Baoyu.

After all, teenage rebellious children have not experienced much, as long as there is a little deception, Bao will admit it.

But Wu Hei is different, he is about the same age as Gongsun Jian now, in his twenties, although he is still rebellious, he will definitely have a lot of means to deal with himself.

He was still worried just now that when he interrogated Wu Hei for a while, the old Wu couple would come out to obstruct it.

However, now that they are gone, Gongsun Jian has no scruples.

Looking at Wu Hei with a smile on his face, Gongsun Jian walked to the main seat of the hall and sat down directly.

On the other side, when they saw Gongsun Jian sitting down, the officials stood in two rows in the hall.

This made Wu Hei, who was standing there stupidly, a little confused.

Before he could react, he saw Gongsun Jian suddenly snort coldly: "Ascension." ”

As soon as his voice came out, the officials standing in two rows in the hall held their sabers tightly in one hand, although they did not bring wind and fire sticks because they were out.
