Bao Ertou was read lower and lower, but at this time, he raised his head sharply and said:

"My lord, my lord! These things are all commanded by the Lord Bookkeeper! Without his direction, how dare the little one do these things? The small one is law-abiding and honest in hospitality, but the words of the master bookkeeper, the little one dare not listen! By the way, the big man, the small gambling house is not a villain, the real owner is actually the master bookkeeper, and the small one is just taking care of the business on his behalf, so these things have nothing to do with the small one! ”

The crowd was stunned.

And what's going on?

Zhang Chenglong hugged his fists: "My lord Hugh wants to listen to his nonsense, the gambling house has a deed on the record, which is clearly written in black and white, and the owner is the one who has two heads and has nothing to do with the lower officials." The reason why he is like this is clearly because he wants to set up a blame. Xia Guan didn't instruct him to do those things, those were the daily operations of the gambling house, and Xia Guan didn't have so much spare time to pay attention to these things. ”

Regardless of the second half of Zhang Chenglong's sentence for the time being, the first half of the sentence is not wrong, the owner of the gambling house is indeed Bao Ertou, at least it is recorded in the case of the Yamen.

Liao Qing said sharply: "Bao Ertou, you have to be more serious when you make up lies!" Who is the owner of the gambling house, is it up to you to talk nonsense? This official does not believe the records of the Yamen, but wants to believe your nonsense? Come! hit him twenty boards first, and he dared to fool his own official! ”

The left and right soaps agreed, stepped forward and pressed the two ends of the bag, and wanted to pick up his pants.

Bao Ertou panicked, "Wait!" The big man, the big man, what the villain said is true! Although the name of the villain is written on the deed of the gambling house, it is only nominal, for outsiders to see. It's just that there are many rights and wrongs in the gambling house after all, and the master is worried that one day there will be a big mess and affect him; Moreover, the master bookkeeper felt that the owner of the gambling house was also dishonorable and hindered his reputation, so he wrote the villain's name, but the real owner was indeed the master bookkeeper! ”

Everyone was amazed.

If you want to say that Bao Ertou wants to deceive, there can only be one time, and you can't hide it!

But now I have said it over and over again, for fear that others will not believe it, and even the reason is so sufficient, which is really doubtful.

Liao Qing was puzzled: "You keep saying that the owner of the gambling house is Lord Zhang, but why did Lord Zhang find you?" Why does he trust you so much and entrust you with such an important inheritance, even in the name of his master? ”

Bao Ertou hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth, "The eldest master doesn't know, the villain is actually the nephew of the master bookkeeper." ”

Ay?

These two people still have this relationship?

Not to mention Liao Qing and a few people, even the scribes and officials who have worked in the yamen for many years don't know, and they all look at each other at this time. If this is true, then the master book is really hidden deep enough!

The two of them are bright and dark, one official and one citizen, and they have performed the double reed freely for many years, and the audience is in the clouds, and they are kept in the dark and don't know it!

Worthy of an old fox!

Everyone looked at the master together.

I couldn't help but be shocked again.

At this moment, Zhang Chenglong was already in tears, and walked towards Bao Ertou step by step,

"O iniquity! I think my poor brother, who died young, entrusted you to me, for many years, I have regarded you as my own, food and clothing, and never stingy, but I didn't expect that you actually chose the gambling house! The old man just thinks about it, anyway, you have grown up, and you don't need the old man to discipline you, but who knows, you are now using this matter to slander and frame the old man! ”

Zhang Chenglong shouted angrily, "Today, the old man will discipline and discipline you, an unscrupulous son, for my brother!" ”

After speaking, "Smack! With a slap, he slapped Bao Ertou in the face.

There were a few red marks on Bao Ertou's fat face in an instant.

"You ......"

Bao Ertou covered the left side of his face and glared at Zhang Chenglong angrily.

He wanted to throw it back, but he didn't dare.

After all, this is in the lobby, and Zhang Chenglong is also an official.

"What are you?!"

Zhang Chenglong was even angrier than him, and slapped him again.

"You disobedient son, for the sake of your dead father, the old man never beat you, you chose to open a gambling house, although the old man is not ashamed, but he can endure it! However, you actually used this to slander the old man, and today, the old man can't spare you! ”

Bao Ertou was slapped twice, and he couldn't fight back, but he was unwilling in his heart, so he only shouted at the hall: "It's not like this, sir, he's lying, he's cheating, you can't believe his words, the gambling house is his!" ”

"Smack!"

Zhang Chenglong slapped him again and said angrily: "You dare to say that the old man is a deception, dare to insult the old man like this, the old man will kill you today......

Bao Ertou stiffened his neck, "The gambling house is yours!" ”

"Smack!" "Still talking nonsense......"

"It's ......"

"Smack!" "My lord! The subordinate officials had no way to discipline them, which made the adults laugh. It's just that what this son said is pure fiction......"

"Nope! It's true......"

"Smack!"

……

The two of them are on the bar!

The slap was slapping, and the people at the scene couldn't bear to look at it directly.

In the end, Liao Qing stopped the two of them from facing Mai Mang, and ordered Bao Ertou to be locked in a cell for retrial after being identified.

At the same time, he also ordered that notices be immediately posted in various places, including important intersections outside the city, calling on the people to expose the crimes of Bao Ertou. Of course, if you have other grievances, you can also come to the yamen to complain.

Master Zhang immediately stood up and responded, saying that he would personally visit and give a satisfactory explanation to the county magistrate at that time.

Everyone received the order and acted separately, and Liao Qing announced his retirement.

Zhang Chenglong walked out of the yamen and led people straight to a house.

The house is located in the middle of nowhere, but it occupies a large area, which is one of his properties.

Gu Xiu'er was temporarily placed here.

Gu Xiu'er saw that he was back, and hurriedly stepped forward to wait for him to take off his hat and wide coat.

Zhang Chenglong stood still in the room, summoned two confidants, and after whispering a few words, he waved his hand at Gu Xiu'er, and walked straight into the study, sitting on the Taishi chair with his head resting on the back of the chair, closing his eyes, and seemed to fall into a state of false sleep, but his eyelids fluctuated from time to time, showing that his heart was not at peace.

Gu Xiu'er came in with tea, and when she saw this scene, she carefully put the tea on the table, and then quietly withdrew.

More than an hour later, several people arrived in the house one after another.

In addition to Zhang Chenglong's henchmen, there are also the cold man, Zhao Zhutou, Qian Mangong, etc.

And Zhao Ruhu didn't come as expected, saying that his nephew had an emergency and couldn't come for a while. This Zhang Chenglong is not surprising, this guy always carries a sedan chair at critical moments - he can't afford it, although he has a tiger in his name, he is actually a mouse.

Money Slam spoke first,

"My lord, I heard that I ...... in the hall today."
