"Your Excellency, you are very calculating." Lin Jiu shook his head helplessly.

She didn't get angry because Chu Linghui didn't talk to her beforehand, the Zheng family's power was too strong, and if something went wrong, she would be caught and hurt.

"This is to be calculated, this is also your credit, you once said that you should use arrogant tactics against Zheng Kui, otherwise give him time to react, then we will have a big . Troublesome. ”

"That's true, but the Zheng family's mansion as a place to try cases is not much good for you to establish the prestige of the government, I remember that before we came here, the Zheng family's mansion was praised by the locals as a real yamen."

Lin Jiu looked at Zhao He, who was honestly staying aside, although he didn't speak, the tension in his heart was already beyond words, after all, Chu Linghui, who was riding alone, was really not too convincing.

"Since you said you hired me, I should be able to go with you!" Lin Jiu opened his mouth and said.

"You're going too?" Chu Linghui looked at Zhao He, and when Lin Jiu was about to go with her, Zhao He was obviously relieved, which made Chu Linghui sigh in his heart, the prestige of the government has not yet been established, and the fact that Boss Lin has energy has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

"If you are too clear at this time, it will cause others to be suspicious." Lin Jiu showed a sly smile.

"Okay, but when you get to the Zheng family, you must listen to me, and you can't act privately." Chu Linghui opened his mouth to remind.

Lin Jiu nodded very simply and took the matter down.

As for what happened after that, it can only be said that one of the things Lin Jiu is best at is called improvisation, and she believes that Chu Linghui, as an employer, will definitely understand.

Zheng family, listening to the housekeeper's report, Zheng Kui's face was cloudy.

As the true master of the county, it is only natural that he used it as a place for mediation and the enforcement of rules, and there is also a "public court" inside the mansion.

Zheng Kui himself actually attaches great importance to this power, which represents the right to speak, of course, the word "gong" in his "public court" is not a fair "public", and the party who gains in the end after the verdict is usually the party that is closer to the Zheng family.

In this way, it is precisely because of the control of the right to speak that the Zheng family is the dominant family in Lixian County, and even if Wang He arrives, he does not really have the power to thin Zheng Kui.

In this way, even if Wang He was leaning towards Chu Linghui and Lin Jiu in his heart, he would not be able to help them on the surface. But there are some deals that even Zheng Kui will not stop from concluding.

Zheng Kui retains a bottom line, that is, if he does not completely cut off the financial path of the people below, the lower ones will be divided if they are advantageous, and if there is no way, Zheng Kui is still handy with this boundary, at least when Chu Linghui and Lin Jiu came here.

"Master, do you want to let them in?" The butler asked cautiously.

Zheng Kui thought for a while and said, "How many people are there?" ”

"There are a total of four people, including Zhao He, and that Lord Chu only brought his master and Boss Lin." The butler replied.

"This Chu County Commander is quite bold, since they dare to come, there is no reason for us to turn them away." Zheng Kui said magnificently.

Outside the gate of the Zheng family, Chu Linghui had already taken Lin Jiu, Lu Yi and Zhao He to wait for a stick of incense, and his attitude was extremely humble, and the eyes of the people around him had changed when they looked at them.

At this time, even if Lin Jiu couldn't read minds, he would be able to know what was in their hearts: Lord Chu had already yielded to Zheng Kui.

This made Lin Jiu feel a little unhappy, the arrogant tactics she said were carried out in private, Chu Linghui did this, then the strong impression she showed before would be reduced a lot, and it could be said that a considerable part of her efforts were put into waste.

Thinking of this, Lin Jiu unconsciously puffed out his cheeks, and then blushed a little at his own action.

Reborn in this body, the age has changed, and even the personality seems to be a little influenced by the original owner, and the benefits are naturally there, which makes her feel alive.

As for the downside, there were times when she wasn't as decisive as she used to be.

In the previous life, the mission was the most important thing for her, and everything else could be put aside for the time being, and this kind of character made her the highest success rate in the team until she died.

"Did you say they'd let us in, it's obviously like a trap?" Lin Jiu glanced at the pedestrians around him and asked Chu Lingjue.

"He will, even if he doesn't let us into this mansion, he will come out and greet us personally, and our coming here today can barely be counted as his victory." The corners of Chu Linghui's mouth showed a hint of mockery.

After all, Zheng Kui has been a monopoly for too long, and he attaches more importance to his face than anything else, including the most important interests of businessmen.

As if to confirm Chu Linghui's words, the door was slowly opened at this moment, but unlike what Chu Linghui said, Zheng Kui did not come in person, and it was only the Zheng family's housekeeper who took them in.

When Prince He Gong came here for a banquet, she still remembered that the housekeeper seemed to be surnamed Liu.

After Steward Liu appeared, Lin Jiu obviously felt that Zhao He's mood was a little wrong, thinking that it should be this Steward Liu who was in charge of the affairs on Orion's side, so he didn't pay too much attention to it.

"Lord Chu, everyone, my lord is waiting in the torture hall, and the villain will take you there today." When he spoke, Steward Liu deliberately accentuated the tone of the word "torture hall".

Now that the county government has been repaired, it stands to reason that all criminal cases should be tried and judged in the court, and Steward Liu is telling everyone that now they are still the same master of the county.

Chu Linghui smiled naturally, and saluted Steward Liu: "Then there is Steward Liu." ”

For Chu Linghui's gift, Steward Liu was obviously extremely useful, even raised his head a little, and walked in front like a proud rooster, making Lin Jiu want to take out a baton from the space and knock it on his head.

For this kind of thought, Lin Jiu silently criticized himself in his heart for being too naïve.

Then he said to himself in his heart, in fact, it is more enjoyable to lift it up and beat it.

Following Steward Liu, who was like a rooster, to the Zheng family's so-called torture hall, Lin Jiu sighed in his heart, good guy, this is exactly the same as the layout of the county government hall.

It is a great crime to set up a public court privately, and the public court in this decree is not really meant, but building a public court in one's own house is a great act of transgression no matter what, and it can be said that it is an aggravated crime.

If it is really implemented according to the laws of the Great Zhou, the Zheng family is afraid that it will be completely finished.

Different from the two sides of the errand station when the county government tried the case, at this time, the people on both sides of the torture hall were people who were very famous in the county, and two of them were Lin Jiu's acquaintances, one was Wang and the other was Xu Yuan.

It is not surprising that Wang He can stand here Lin Jiu, once Wang He told her that he is one of the few people who can fight with the Zheng family in Lixian County, and Zheng Kui can use him to adjust his life when he is bored.

And Xu Yuan gave Lin Jiu the feeling that he was very bold, but his congenital disadvantage made him submissive to the old men around him, and no matter how he looked at it, he didn't seem qualified to sit here.

Zheng Kui sat in the position of deputy in the hall and reserved the main seat for Chu Linghui, at least at this point, Zheng Kui still gave Chu Linghui a lot of face.

Chu Linghui calmly walked to the main seat, Wang He and Xu Yuan stood up at the same time and saluted Chu Lingjue, because the behavior of these two people was a little sudden, so that those old men did not have time to figure out whether this was what Zheng Kui meant, and they also got up and saluted Chu Lingjue.

This allowed Chu Linghui to take the lead, at least at this stage.

Lin Jiu silently extended a thumbs up to Wang He at the end of the line, worthy of being a person who intersected with Prince Gong, always so witty.

Zheng Kui looked at Wang He with obvious killing intent in his eyes, and by the way, he also glared fiercely at those who echoed Wang He.

These people secretly complained in their hearts, but there was no way to explain it at this time, so they could only think about how to make up for their mistakes afterwards, so as not to be really hated by this Master Zheng.

At this time, Wang He stood in front of the hall, knelt on the ground with a plop, and shouted to Chu Linghui in front of him: "Please do justice for the villain." ”

"What is your name, where do you live, what is your business, and what are you going to ask this judge to do justice for you today?" Chu Linghui said slowly.

As soon as Chu Linghui spoke, Zheng Kui realized that something seemed to be wrong.
