The doctor and the servant of the government were very fast, and after they checked Zheng Lao up and down, they shook their heads at Su Yu.

Su Yu knew in his heart that Zheng Lao was dead, and he just didn't want to believe it when he asked the doctor to come to check, seeing that the arrest of Zhou Tong was close at hand, who would have thought that such a thing would happen.

Gu Rin raised his hand and beckoned the county order over and asked, "Zheng Lao, is there still a relative in Shushui County?" ”

The county magistrate said slowly, "No, Zheng Lao only has one son of Zheng Cheng, he is usually used to being powerful, and finally a few concubines in the mansion have also secretly run away." ”

Zheng Lao lived to the end in a mess all his life, and no one was able to rush over to collect his body, which was also very sad.

Gu Rin thought for a while, then sighed, "Send a message to Zheng Cheng and let him send Zheng Lao on his last journey." ”

The county order answered, and he stepped aside.

"Master Gu." Su Yu called softly, "You and Zheng Cheng... Acquaintance

？ ”

Gu Rin paused for a moment before saying, "I've just heard of this name, and I may have met in the court, but I don't have a personal relationship." ”

Su Yu thought for a moment and continued, "Then Lord Gu, have you ever heard that Zheng Cheng is a person?" Is it the kind of person who will shield sinners? ”

It is still very important to find out this point shushui county and the capital are far away listening to the meaning of the county order although it is a father and son relationship between zheng lao and zheng cheng but there are not many contacts if it is because of one

The corrupt father brought a good official, isn't this more than worth the loss for the imperial court?

Not only Su Yu, but Gu Rin obviously also took this into account, and was about to say something to comfort Su Yu's heart, but before he could say anything, he was suddenly interrupted by Zhou Tong.

"Oops." Zhou Tong wiped his eyes thoughtfully, "Why did Master Zheng go so fast, obviously the matter has not been explained clearly." ”

There was a calculating glint in his eyes, and no one knew the details of the disaster relief money except for himself and Zheng Lao

process, now that Zheng Lao suddenly died, there were only four big words left in his mind.

"He's said what he needs to say." Su Yu said coldly, "What are you doing here?" Don't you think you're ridiculous? ”

Zhou Tong's eyes rolled, and he really squeezed out a few tears from his eyes, he raised his hand and patted his thigh and began to cry, "A few adults, you can't just listen to Zheng Lao's words, you don't know how he usually uses his identity to oppress me!" ”

His voice was not small, and Gu Rin's head hurt when he roared, and Gu Rin slowly paced around

He found a secluded place to stay, leaving Murong Xuan and Su Yu there.

The corners of Su Yu's mouth twitched twice.

This man will really enjoy good fortune.

"How to oppress you." Su Yu asked, "Let's hear about it." ”

With the permission of grace, Zhou Tong immediately spat and flew, "My lord, as we all know, Zheng Lao has a son who is an official in the capital, because of this, he is quite arrogant and domineering, bullying men and women in the city, there was a drought in Shushui County a while ago, and this person actually started to think about disaster relief." ”

His face was excited and slightly red, if it weren't for Su Yu having seen the scene where he had just killed Zheng Lao alive, maybe he had really fooled her.

"Forget it, he deducted all of it!" Zhou Tong said, "The people in the city are still hungry, he is full of oil, in order to prevent a case, he also deliberately dragged me into the water and moved the disaster relief money, if I don't want to, he will let the son of the capital put pressure on me, I am a five-grade county official, where dare to provoke the people of the capital." ”

"Zhou Tong." Su Yu interrupted his complaint, "The truth of the matter is you and me."

I know that I advise you not to be flamboyant. ”

As soon as he heard this, Zhou Tong didn't hide it anymore, he said generously, "My lord, everything I said is true, if you have to put a crime on my head, I can't help it." ”

"But, everything has to be based on a piece of evidence, and you can't convict me with just one account book." ”

Su Yu gritted her teeth with hatred, and she said viciously, "Although I can't convict you, you have to just take me in prison during the time of the investigation!" Don't want to have good fruit to eat! ”

Zhou Tong grinned, "Pay attention to fairness and honesty in handling and investigating cases, my lord, before the situation is clear, you can't use punishment." ”

Su Yu couldn't say a word when she was rarely blocked, she really miscalculated Zhou Tong's cheekiness, just when she was full of anger and had nowhere to express it, and was about to suffocate herself, she suddenly found that there was a person standing behind her.

Gu Rin didn't know when he walked back, standing behind her like a wall, although he didn't do anything, Su Yu actually felt some security.

"If you don't report it, you're cowardly." Gu Rin said lightly, "If according to what you said, you are not completely innocent, as the magistrate of Cangzhou, you should not use the disaster relief money privately no matter why, the disaster of imprisonment is inevitable, don't think too well." ”

"Lord Prefectural Order." Gu Rin looked to the side, "Please put this person in prison and deal with it later." ”

"Yes." The county order agreed, and he leaned closer and whispered, "Lord Gu, someone asks to see you." ”

"Who?"

"The name of the person who came is Wang Er." The county magistrate explained, "The person who has been following Zheng Lao is quite clever. ”

"The people around Zheng Lao..."Gu Rin muttered repeatedly, his eyes glanced at Zheng Lao's corpse on the ground twice, "wave after wave, it's really interesting." ”

Wang Er was taken to the mansion, and there were three people sitting in the main hall, Gu Rin in the middle, Su Yu on the side, and Murong Xuan who had been sticking to Su Yu.

"Your Excellency." Wang Er knelt on the ground and said respectfully, "The grass people have something to report."

。 ”

Gu Rin took a sip of tea and said slowly, "If I'm not mistaken, you're here for Zheng Lao's business." ”

"Yes." Wang Er replied, "I have something to ask for." ”

"It is a big mistake for the grass people not to report it and shield the criminals." He exhaled a breath and said slowly, "The matter has come to this point, and the grass people only want to be able to atone for their crimes." ”

"Atonement for the sin." Gu Rin tugged at the corners of his lips and sneered, "What merit can you have, is it to thank you for protecting Zheng Lao, or thank you for your loyalty."

？ ”

Wang Er gritted his teeth and said loudly, "Ladies and gentlemen, I have served Zheng Lao for many years, and I know exactly what he has done, and now Zhou Tong has reversed black and white, you are helpless, but I have evidence that can expose him." ”

Su Yu became interested when he heard this, straightened up from the backrest and asked with glowing eyes, "What evidence?" ”

"Some correspondence between Zheng Lao and Zhou Tong." Wang Er replied, "In addition to the disaster relief money, they have also withheld other silver taels, which are clearly written in the letters, and with these, Zhou Tong is also indisputable."

。 ”

"Where?" Gu Rin was upright, and finally set his eyes on Wang Er.

Wang Er's face was embarrassed, he pursed his lips and said, "Grass people... No comment. ”

Gu Rin raised his eyebrows.

"Are you making fun of me?" He said dangerously.

"No, sir." Wang Er replied quickly, "I'm just... I have one more thing to ask for. ”

Su Yu couldn't help but remind, "What you should do now is to hand over the letter to us, instead of using it as a threat, do you know what kind of situation you are in?" ”

"The grass people know." Wang Er lowered his eyes and said calmly, "The grass people are already guilty, and adding a few more sins is the same consequence." ”

"But I still have a wife and children at home." Wang Er said, "Zhou Tong's forces are all over the surrounding cities, and if I expose him this time, his remnants will definitely affect my family." ”

"So, I'm just wondering if you can do it, adults."

Keep my family safe, so I don't have to worry about it..."

After saying this, there was no sound in the room for a long time, and it was the teacup lid in Gu Rin's hand that broke the silence, he gently flicked the tea leaves, and said slowly, "Okay, I promise you, I will give you no worries, after the matter is over, I will move your family to a safe place." ”

Wang Erzhong knocked his head heavily and said gratefully, "Thank you, my lord!" ”
