"Got it, let's go down!" Cai Cong waved his hand and said casually, his eyes looked at Zheng Wenfu with a respectful face, and a trace of unhappiness and recognition flashed, this person is definitely a smart person, he does not have a little conflict with himself, and all the factors that threaten him are eliminated. I believe that what I will do next in Zhengzhou will be smooth and there will be no obstacles.

Next, the banquet was very pleasant, the glamorous orchid and the pleasant silk and bamboo were intertwined, Cai Cong no longer had a black face, and the people present seemed to be untied from the rope around their necks, and they were speechless after drinking two glasses of wine.

Only Zheng Wenfu always drank lightly, and at the end of the banquet, he was as usual and talked decently, like no one.

"I think you're all having fun, and I'm satisfied." Cai Cong looked at the lively picture and said with relief.

"Thank you, sir."

Everyone said in unison, some squires were too drunk and shouted thank you for your hospitality, and the gentry of Zhengzhou just wanted to find a hole to get into.

"You don't have to be polite, the dossier is almost here, I'm afraid that some officials will force him to eat it, and he won't be able to eat it." Cai Cong said with a smile, looking at it harmless to humans and animals, but such a sentence scared many people to wake up, and looked at Cai Cong in a cold sweat.

There was no sound at all in the huge banquet hall for a while, and Cai Cong didn't care, holding chopsticks and picking up dishes to eat. It's very tasteless, but what is even more tasteless is that these chefs make things that are unpalatable enough.

Waiting is the most tormenting, including Gongsun Neng, many people feel that their backs are soaked, and they don't even have the desire to raise chopsticks when they look at the wine and food.

Lao Meng boarded the restaurant and glanced at it, strode to Cai Cong and knelt down and said: "Back to the lord, all the files of the Assassin's Mansion have been brought in the past three months, and there is a staff member with several officials who want to burn the file, but they are hacked to death on the spot by their subordinates, and the file is downstairs at the moment, can the lord take a look?" ”

"Bring it in."

Cai Cong said lightly.

"Slow, the upper chagrin acts like this, do you want to kill the entire Zhengzhou gentry? Acting like this, what is the difference between that mistake and not being afraid of being cleared up? ”

At this time, a squire dressed in a brocade robe stood up and spoke loudly, his words full of threats. With what his family has done in the past few months, it is difficult not to die.

"Think twice."

Everyone shouted in unison, pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud, it can be said that there is no clean one present, and the lightest one is accused of dereliction of duty and dereliction of duty.

"This official remembers that you are Zhao Shiping! The name is very good, but the official thinks that you must not be very good. Cai Cong picked a piece of fish belly and reluctantly put it in his mouth and said.

In the next second, he violently spit out the fish belly and slapped the table and shouted: "Take down this thief with me left and right, and behead it for public display." The herald ordered the Zhao family and others to be imprisoned and waited for their fate. ”

"What do you want to do? Why kill me? Adults help me, Master Zheng helps. Zhao Shiping was taken down immediately, and he struggled and kept shouting.

Gongsun Neng glanced at him drunkenly, raised his head and poured himself another sip of wine. Zheng Wenfu looked at the scene in front of him with a smile, as if Zhao Shiping was not asking him for help.

The knife fell, and the huge human head rolled down the stairs, and a cavity of blood sprayed on the dozen steps of the treadwood. Everyone looked at Cai Cong, who was still picking meat in the fish head, in horror, and unconsciously bent down.

"Is it really wrong to be the official? Or do you think that Your Majesty is Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty? Remove the banquet and bring up all the case files, and the official will look at them one by one to see if the displaced people are due to natural or man-made disasters. ”

Cai Cong pushed away the table in front of him, and said with a sneer, Someone immediately removed all the banquets, and Lao Meng asked people to bring up several boxes of files.

Cai Cong looked at it very carefully, read each copy repeatedly, and when he saw the big fire, he directly smashed the file on the ground, and at this time, Lao Meng would pick up the file and place it alone in the worried eyes of others.

"My lord, Xia Guan pleaded guilty, and Xia Guan won the case of the squire in favor of the dispute between Majiang Village and several squires outside the city for accepting bribes. In fact, the real verdict was that several gentry intercepted the upstream water source and killed several villagers of Majiang Village who went to reason.

The lower officials were blinded by money and convicted Majiang Village, resulting in the displacement of the downstream villages without water. Please spare your life, please spare your life. ”

Zhengzhou Beijia was looked at by Cai Cong with angry eyes a few times, and he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and kept begging for mercy.

"You are the first to turn yourself in, the official will not kill you, take him down, and explain everything clearly, if you find out that you have something to hide, the official will scrape you alive." Cai Cong didn't look at him, and said lightly. He didn't need to say anything vicious, nothing was more lethal than the human head on the ground.

"The lower official is guilty."

"The grass people are guilty."

"Spare your life!"

Don't drive away, now don't beg for mercy and wait for a while to be confessed, I want to beg for mercy I'm afraid there will be no chance, so people who have ghosts in their hearts kneel and beg for mercy.

"Isolate everyone separately, let them write down their crimes, and then compare their confessions when the time comes, and if there is anyone who conceals it, behead!" Cai Cong put down the file in his hand and said coldly, looking at Zheng Wenfu and Gongsun Neng, who did not beg for mercy.

"One is the head of the Zhengzhou officials, the other is a thousand-year-old family, the leader of Zhengzhou's literary circle, don't the two think they are not guilty?"

"Hehe, the lower officials don't ask about the military and politics for a long time, and they don't dare to admit the crime of dereliction of duty, and tomorrow they will ask for the old man to return to his hometown, and the boss doesn't need to spend any effort on me, a waste person."

Gongsun can drink the smell of wine, and said in a desolate voice, thinking about how difficult it is for him to get to where he is today, step by step, this kind of achievement is a joke in front of the thousand-year-old family, and it can't be done!

"The old man has three provinces a day, and he asks himself about things that are not harmful to heaven and reason, so those who are clear are self-purifying, please be aware of them." After Zheng Wenfu finished speaking with a smile, he raised his wine glass to salute Cai Cong, and then drank the wine in the cup, unable to say that he was dashing, and his performance was very different from Gongsun Neng's performance.

"So much for the best. Xu Jie sent an order, and notices were posted in all places in Zhengzhou, and the official was ordered to provide disaster relief, and all those who had grievances could come to redress their grievances. Ordered the thin monkey to take people to investigate, determine the water veins, five or six out of ten is the earl's request to them, if they can't do it, see how I clean them up. ”

After Cai Cong finished speaking, he took the drunken Gongsun Neng and directly lived in the Assassin's Mansion under the escort of the army. Five thousand elite soldiers entered the city, and for a time there was a lot of rumors in Zhengzhou, especially many big people were arrested, which was even more terrifying.

Cai Cong and Gongsun Neng sat opposite each other in the Thorn Shi Mansion, Cai Cong lay on the ground, and then sat up straight and said gratefully: "Thank you Gongsun Thorn Shi for your help today, Cai Cong is grateful." ”

"The boss is polite, this official is a useless person, he hasn't even been able to take Zhengzhou City for so many years, and he can only pretend to be crazy and stupid to help the lord's prestige." Gongsun Neng no longer had a trace of decadence at this time, and only after receiving Cai Cong's great gift did he say self-deprecatingly.

He is a thorn in history, the military and political affairs of a state are in his hands, and there is no royal governor on his head, he is the most powerful person in Zhengzhou, but his life is not good, he is in such a place, not to mention the locality, even the people in the army think more about the local forces led by the Zheng family, and he has not even obtained half of the military power for so many years.

But even so, if he wants to fight against Cai Cong, an outsider, it is not difficult, how can a person who can sit in this position have no means at all?

"It's just that I didn't expect Zheng Wenfu, the old fox, to be so calm, the official pushed him to the front behind his back, but he became more and more humble, which is really not like his usual style."

Gongsun Neng said regretfully, Zheng Wenfu is so in the limelight today, and it is all his contribution behind the scenes. Otherwise, even if the restaurant shopkeeper has no eyesight, he will not call the name wrong. The officials are in the front, and the people are in the back, this is the rule.
