Chapter 44: Let you suffer dumb losses

The scorching sun at noon hung high in the sky, and in the heat, Liu Chengfeng returned to the hundred households in a sweat, and ordered someone to take the money to the nearest inn to order a few tables of dishes, and began to interrogate the 'chaotic party'. Bayi Chinese Network

Smashing the Flower Pavilion is just the first step in Liu Chengfeng's plan, and it is still very early for the matter to end, and the most important thing now is to let Zhou Tai, the owner of the Flower Pavilion, get into his trap and involve the people behind him.

If you don't do it, if you want to do it, you have to kill them all, since people have already offended, then simply don't do it and keep killing them.

Smashing the Flower Pavilion is just a prestige to the merchants in the fireworks alley. And cleaning up the behind-the-scenes people behind the Flower Pavilion will make those merchants completely afraid, and people will obediently send money on a monthly basis. With money, Liu Chengfeng can establish his prestige, do many things, become a dark horse in the Jinyi Guard, and climb step by step towards his set goals.

"I want to let those who look down on me and disdain me know that Liu Chengfeng is not a fool."

The officials of the king have already arranged it, and the Jinyi guard naturally has his own set of methods for torture, usually he arrests someone and finds a remote city god temple and beats him, and then brings him back to the guard station. But now it is very different, since he arrived at the guard, he first dragged him to the side room to torture for half an hour, then Zhou Tai was half-dead by several lieutenants to the hall, the general flag Chen Hongyu bowed to Liu Chengfeng, and said: "My lord, Zhou Tai confessed." ”

Liu Chengfeng sat behind the case, hummed, his eyes fell on Zhou Tai, and asked slowly: "Zhou Tai, what do you want to confess?" ”

The captain has rich experience in beating people, although he beat Zhou Tai to death, he just didn't hurt his muscles and bones, at this time Zhou Tai and a dead dog are no longer much different, as soon as he knelt on the ground, he kowtowed desperately, sobbing: "The villain attacked Jinyiwei really damn it......"

Liu Chengfeng was obviously very dissatisfied with this confession, smiled coldly, and said, "This is your confession?" Tell me, are you a mess? ”

The word chaotic party is not easy to recognize, what a small-sided person Zhou Tai is? Otherwise, he wouldn't take care of the Flower Pavilion, of course he didn't dare to admit this kind of thing, so he hurriedly kowtowed: "The villain is not a mess...... It's not a mess......"

Liu Chengfeng smiled and said indifferently: "Don't worry, today's ** yes yes, no, you have entered these hundred households, this adult has a way to make you confess, you think clearly by yourself, don't mistake yourself." ”

Zhou Tai's eyes had already begun to roll, and after a long time, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "The villain has someone who proves that it is definitely not a chaotic party." ”

Liu Chengfeng smiled and said, "Oh? Who can prove it? ”

Zhou Tai said: "Lord Hui, the real owner of the Flower Pavilion is not a villain, but my lord Chen Mo Chen, my lord is an official of the imperial court, I am his house slave, how can I be willing to be a chaotic party?" ”

Liu Chengfeng smiled and said, "What is your master's position?" ”

"The head of the household department is the money and grain."

"That's him." Liu Chengfeng already knew in his heart that Zhou Tai would definitely involve the people behind the scenes in the end, and Zhou Tai now mostly hopes to use his own master to suppress himself, and on the other hand, to prove his innocence. It's just that he couldn't calculate it by a thousand calculations, and Liu Chengfeng had already hit the abacus on his master's head before smashing the Flower Pavilion.

I only heard Liu Chengfeng say: "Judge Wang, since the matter involves the officials of the imperial court and the big case of the chaotic party, no matter what, you must invite Lord Chen to make a proof, you immediately take the name of this official and invite Lord Chen to come, and tell Lord Chen that this matter is serious, and sooner or later you will have to go to heaven to listen to it, and ask him to recognize the person." ”

When the king heard this, he hurried away.

Liu Chengfeng asked someone to pour tea, and drank it slowly, at this time the stomach was actually hungry, and the captain who was buying wine and vegetables outside must have returned, and there was a strong fragrance of vegetables wafting out of this hall, Liu Chengfeng couldn't help complaining: "The Ming Dynasty is like me day and night, and I would rather be hungry than frame and torture to extract confessions, and I am afraid that there are only a few Jinyi Wei who have arrived in the Hongzhi Dynasty, which is really a rare and protected animal." ”

But now I wonder about the matter of deciding the head of the household, Liu Chengfeng can't eat this meal, what he is most afraid of this kind of thing is to delay time, now the other party's position is chaotic, the longer the time drags on, and then counterattack when they gain a firm foothold, even if he has ten brocade clothes and hundreds of households, it is not enough for people to pinch to death.

Liu Chengfeng thought about it like this, and immediately cheered up, and sat down with the case stroking.

After half an hour, Chen Mo, the head of the household money and grain, came in with a smile, and Zhou Tai turned his head with great difficulty, stared wide, and looked at his big proprietor, Chen Mo, the head of the household department of money and grain, who slowly walked into the lobby in civilian clothes, and couldn't help but whisper to the master.

Chen Mo's eyes did not stay on Zhou Tai, he was not young, probably because he had been buried in the case all the year round, his face was a little frighteningly white, but although he was wearing civilian clothes, he had a bit of a calm momentum, but that pair of eyes was different from his wind-blown figure, staring at Liu Chengfeng fiercely with an aggressive sharpness.

Although Chen Mo is in charge of the world's money and grain, but this money, I don't know how many people are staring at it, it is not easy to be greedy for ink, but if the fat gap he occupies wants to be stable, he needs to be dotted up and down, and part of the money is taken from the money and grain, and the other part is the business of the Flower Pavilion. Now a brocade guard hundred households actually led someone to smash the hen that laid their own golden eggs, when Chen Mo heard the news, he didn't believe it at first, and after sending someone to check it in person, he knew that it was really something, so he hurriedly came out of the household department and was preparing to find someone to discuss countermeasures. And at this time, Liu Chengfeng came to invite him with a famous assassination, Chen Mo was an old official after all, and soon he realized that the problem was not simple.

To Chen Mo, Liu Chengfeng was much more polite, first got up to salute, and then invited the principal to sit down.

Chen Mo was also not polite, he sat on the chair next to him with a straight face, looked at Liu Chengfeng with a pair of eyes fixedly, and then said, "I don't know why Liu Baihu invited this official to come over?"

Liu Chengfeng smiled quietly and said with a pleasant face: "I just want to invite an adult to be a personal witness." Liu Chengfeng pointed at Zhou Tai and said, "My lord, please take a closer look, is this person a house slave in the adult's house?" He confessed to himself, saying that it was the business of the adults, and the adults were the real owners of the the Flowers Pavilion. In addition, this person attacked the general flag of our guard, and even said something crazy, saying what about Jinyi Wei and so on. Adults should know that Jinyiwei is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, and such a big thing can already be regarded as someone plotting to rebel. But if this person is really an adult's house slave, there is no way to talk about the word rebellion, so please identify it now. ”

Chen Mo couldn't see any expression on his face, and his deep eyes just glanced at Zhou Tai's body. Zhou Tai hurriedly shouted: "Master......"

Chen Mo ignored Zhou Tai, and immediately said to Liu Chengfeng: "Liu Baihu, this person, the official doesn't know him. ”

"Ah......" Zhou Tai looked stunned, and then shouted: "Master, you can't see death without saving it...... Lord......"

Chen Mo had already stood up, and said with a quiet smile: "This person suddenly said that he was the house slave of the official, there must be some misunderstanding, if Liu Baihu has nothing else, the official will leave." ”

Liu Chengfeng stood up very politely and said, "Lord Chen, please." ”

Chen Mo also said kindly: "There is no need to send each other, Liu Baihu continues to be busy with official business." After that, ignoring Zhou Tai's roar, Shi Shiran walked out of this hall.

Out of the hall, a trace of coldness passed through Chen Mo's eyes, and he snorted coldly, muttering, "Let's see." ”

The reason why Chen Mo shook his head and denied his relationship with Zhou Tai was that Zhou Tai was involved in beating Jinyiwei, which could already be falsely accused of rebellion, and it was really not worth it to involve himself in it. What's more, in the past few days, Guozijian and Qing have discussed a lot, saying that many businesses in the fireworks alley are involved in the participation of court officials, and now they are making a lot of trouble, and they want to jointly write a letter to impeach those officials who operate the ** hall behind the scenes. On this cusp, if Chen Mo admits in public that the Flower Pavilion is related to him, the head of the household, Chen Mo can almost foresee that the criticism of the entire Guozijian, the Qing Dynasty and even the imperial envoy will be concentrated on him, once the criticism is too loud, the cabinet is very likely to abandon him as an abandoned son in order to calm the matter, at that time, not only is the future hopeless, but even the reputation will become a mess, Chen Mo at this time, can only choose to lose the car and protect the handsome, and abandon Zhou Tai like a dead dog.

However, abandonment and abandonment, since he suffered a dumb loss this time, he was slapped in public by Liu Chengfeng, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't hold a grudge, this account, he will have to settle with Liu Chengfeng sooner or later, but now is not the time.

Chen Mo sat in the small sedan chair parked outside the hundred households, half lying on the soft chair in the sedan chair, and said lightly: "Get up the sedan chair and go home." And also...... Later, I will call someone to invite Wang Qianhu from the East Factory. ”
