While Zhong Wuregret was thinking about how to make Si Chong's stubbornness temporarily soften, he was also thinking about how to hit Pan Chong's sore spot and force him to let go. Exchanging a capable life for the position of the defeated division is just wishful thinking on the part of Zhong Wuregret now, but one thing to consider is that once Pan Chong's people get the position of the defeated division, will he go back to find capable trouble.

Zhong Wuregret is worried that the prestige of the competent judicial government in the Chu State is very high, and in order to control the judicial system, Pan Chong's people will find capable people to make an example and quickly establish their authority in the judicial system. For those who are in a hurry to seize power, the last thing they can afford is time.

But where is the current breaking point?

Witness! Suspicions should be found in the witness who has committed suicide in fear of sin. Generally speaking, there are two things that dare to commit perjury with their lives. First, the temptation of major interests. Second, major threats, such as the lives of children or parents, are used to force witnesses to "sacrifice me and protect my whole family."

The intelligence department formed by Tang Zhong has also been running for a long time, and it is time to test their efficiency.

Zhong Wuregret came to the shop that sold rice, and the old shopkeeper of this shop was also tired of worrying about the days of fear, so he agreed to Zhong Wuregret's conditions, that is, except for the shopkeeper and her daughter, the other guys were all assigned by Zhong Wuregret, and their business was made according to money.

At first, the old shopkeeper was still afraid of Zhong Wuregret's idea of beating his daughter, but he didn't expect that since the conditions were negotiated, Zhong Wuregret had never come once, and the old shopkeeper was relieved.

Zhong Wuregret wandered around the street and came to the rice shop. The old shopkeeper drank tea and rested in the back room, and Tang Zhong commanded the men in front to be responsible for measuring the rice scales, beckoning the guests to select the rice, ushering in the delivery, and they were very busy.

"Guest, please!" As soon as he saw Zhong Wuregret, Tang Zhong hurriedly took him to the living room of the inner room.

"Cuihua, tea!" Tang Zhong screamed.

"Here," with a reply, I saw the old shopkeeper's daughter bring the tea, and asked Tang Zhong affectionately, "Do you need anything?" ”

"It's okay, you can get busy first." Tang Zhong said.

Cuihua was just about to leave, but was stopped by Zhong Wuregret. Cuihua glanced at Tang Zhong uneasily. Zhong Wuregret looked at the two of them and said, "When will you get married?" ”

Tang Zhong said in a snort: "There are many things now, and there is no date yet." ”

"How are you buying and selling now?" Zhong Wuregret asked.

Tang Zhong said: "It's okay, it's just that the mushrooms are not easy to sell, and the quantity is large and the price is low." Tang Zhong knew that Zhong Wuregret was full of novelties, and since he asked, he might get Zhong Wuregret's help when he said it, so he told the truth.

"Tang Zhong," Cuihua shouted, and looked at him reproachfully, as if her own difficulties should not trouble others. The soybean that Tang Zhong said is soybean.

Zhong Wuregret smiled and said: "We buy all the rice in Zhongfu from you, and it's all an old relationship." If you want to get married, I will give you a gift as a gift. ”

Cuihua was about to excuse herself, but was stopped by Tang Zhong with her eyes. Zhong Wuregret said, then dipped in tea, drew a picture of a stone mill for them, and said: "This is a picture of a stone mill, you ask the craftsman to make a pair of the same, and then, soak the mushroom and grind it with water, and the pulp and slag that come out are boiled together with vegetables, and after cooking, if it tastes delicious, you can take it out, and the money you earn will be considered a congratulatory gift from me." ”

What Zhong Wuregret said is that it originally belonged to the Chu State, and now it is a delicacy in western Hubei - the slag, commonly known as lazy bean flower. The so-called slag refers to the production method, without slag, and boiled together.

About the name of the dish called lazy bean flower. From a folklore, it is said that a little daughter-in-law who loves to sleep lazily, got up late one day, her face was not washed, her hair was not combed, she ran to the stove house with her clothes tucked, and when she arrived at the stove, she picked up the ground soybean pulp, and poured it into the pot. In order to cover up her mistake, she cut some vegetables into it in a panic, but she didn't expect it to become a delicious lazy bean curd.

Not to mention the deliciousness of lazy bean flowers, the stone grinding alone had already surprised Tang Zhong, and both he and Cuihua knew what this little tool meant to them.

In fact, people's intelligence is not stupid, but they often have blind spots in thinking, and once they are clicked on by others, they can create more things.

Tang Zhong and Cuihua hurriedly knelt on the seat, and both thanked Zhong without regrets.

Zhong Wuregret likes Tang Zhong's dedication very much, he knows that Tang Zhong has not set a date because he has not completed the task he explained to him and does not dare to marry first. He said to Tang Zhong: "State affairs and family affairs are all major matters, so getting married early and holding our son early is not our pursuit?" ”

He vaguely said that there was no problem for Tang Zhong to get married first. Tang Zhong thanked Zhong again without regrets.

After Cuihua left, Zhong Wuregret strictly ordered Tang Zhong not to reveal his identity in front of his wife and father-in-law, and Tang Zhong swore that it would be absolutely confidential.

Then, Zhong Wuregret asked Tang Zhong to investigate the suicide witness as soon as possible. Since the witness has lived next door to Zhang Xiaomei's house for so long, there are many clues available for investigation, and the weapons and silver taels used as perjury cannot be arranged in advance, and many clues can be found from them.

After assigning the task, Zhong Wuregret went to other shops in the market to hang out.

Tang Zhong really lived up to his expectations, and that night, he quietly came to Zhong's Mansion and told Zhong Wuregret about the comprehensive investigation.

This witness has lived here for several years, but everyone does not know what his name is, only calls him "Uncle Pan", this Uncle Pan has no children, but lives with his wife, but everyone can see that their relationship between husband and wife is very good. Uncle Pan is also a good person, everyone likes him very much, because of this, Zhang Xiaohai didn't expect him to frame himself, and he fainted in anger.

However, two months ago, Uncle Pan's wife died, and he was extremely sad. But as soon as he heard that Pan Chong was going to requisition a house to expand Pan's mansion, he moved away happily, but he didn't expect to move back a few days before he falsely accused Zhang Xiaohai.

At night, someone heard him crying and laughing like a madman, as if he kept saying something like "returning to the sect".

Speaking of which, Zhong Wuregret already felt that this Uncle Pan was definitely a person who had a great connection with Pan Mansion, and he could die for Pan Chong and talk about "returning to the sect", he was definitely not an ordinary person in Pan Mansion.

Zhong Wuregret knows that modern people do not have particularly strong loyalty and feelings towards the clan, but when there was no centralized power, as a blood group with patriarchy, consensus, and leader, it was the belief and authority of the clan at that time.

Zhong Wuregret asked Tang Zhong, "What happened to that Uncle Pan's corpse?" ”

At that time, the society not only valued rebirth, but also attached importance to death, especially the Chu State. If Uncle Pan died for Pan Chong, even if Pan Chong was just to use Uncle Pan, he wouldn't dare to treat Uncle Pan's corpse casually.

If it was really a felony in a prison who committed suicide in fear of crime, he must have thrown it at the mass grave.

Zhong Wuregret immediately asked Tang Zhong to try to find out the whereabouts of Uncle Pan's body, and at the same time, according to the time when Uncle Pan had just moved next door to Zhang Xiaohai, he tried to inquire about what happened in Pan's mansion. Generally speaking, the elimination of the clan and the return to the clan are important events within the clan, and many people will not be unaware of them.

Tang Zhong took the order and left.

Next, Zhong Wuregret has to think about how to persuade the capable. But he thought about it, and he really couldn't think of any way, because in his capable eyes, he was originally a thief who bewitched the king of Chu, if he could listen to his persuasion, wouldn't there be no more righteous men and gentlemen in the world.

When Zhong Wuregret returned to Cao Yun'e's side, Dongfang had turned white, but he still had no sleep.

Cao Yun'e looked at him worriedly and asked him what was going on, generally speaking, Cao Yun'e never asked Zhong Wuregret what he did, but looking at him like this, he knew that he was indeed in trouble.

In front of Cao Yun'e, Zhong Wuregret never concealed anything, and between him and Cao Yun'e, although he didn't say anything, they really felt a kind of spiritual understanding.

Zhong Wuregret will try his best to protect him because he regrets being able to do this, but at that time, the more capable such a person is, the more he pays attention to the so-called integrity, he would rather lose his head than protect his reputation.

"Why is he so brainless, if he can be like a great man, first swear never to overturn the case, and then turn the world upside down without realizing it, how much trouble can be reduced." Zhong thought regretfully.

After hearing Zhong Wuregret's speech, Cao Yun'e asked, "What if Lord Si Yu insists on clarifying the matter?" ”

"Don't even think about it, it's a dead end. Think about it, what kind of person is this Taishi Pan? He even dared to kill the king of Chu, let alone an official in charge of punishment and prison proceedings. The most important thing is that Pan Taishi can't afford to lose this time.

He is now in the Chu State, and he has not yet reached the point of covering the sky with one hand. In order to expand the Pan Mansion, he brutalized the people, let the family beat to death the seriously ill elderly who were difficult to relocate, and persecuted the children of the family, and framed the judicial officer with perjury. Not to mention that the magistrate will condemn him according to the law, once these things are known to the people, and they will scold him to death, what else can he do? Zhong Wuregret said, sighing in his heart.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, China's feudal society had not yet taken shape, and it was a period of the collapse of slavery and the transition to feudalism in China, and the society experienced drastic social changes of great turmoil, great differentiation and great reorganization. The vassal states successively carried out reforms, which were all processes in which the new landlord class used the power of power to change the production relations of slavery and establish a new social order, thus completing the process of feudalization.

The landlord class, which occupies the dominant position, has not yet consolidated its political power, and its ideology has not yet formed into the ruling ideology of feudal society, so thinkers of all classes and strata are free to write books and make speeches and to go around propagating their ideas and propositions, and they are not excluded and constrained by the ruling ideology of the landlord class, still less will they be convicted for their words.

The academic policy of "inclusiveness" has made the Yin and Yang family, famous scholars, Legalists, and military scholars develop rapidly, forming a "hundred schools of thought".

In China's 5,000 years, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were the most brilliant and brilliant era on the ideological and cultural front, and the stars were twinkling.

Under such circumstances, once Pan Chong's criminal deeds are known to the people, no matter how powerful he is, only the "scholar" class, quoting scriptures, agitating criticism, angry denunciation, etc., cannot help but bow his head.

At this time, his political enemies will be ruthless, and Pan Chong will not be unaware of this. Able to resist hard, it is only a matter of time before Pan Chong's crime is exposed, therefore, in order to prevent future troubles, only by "clicking" can we solve the problems in my heart.

Hearing Zhong Wuregret finish speaking, Cao Yun'e said: "It's hard to say this, it's not difficult to say it's not difficult. ”

"Really? Kiss my wife, teach me the trick! Zhong Wuregret hugged Cao Yun'e and said.

After listening to Cao Yun'e's clever plan, Zhong Wuregret couldn't help but be speechless, and looked at Cao Yun'e stupidly.
