Chapter 78: Hypocrisy
On the other side, in the Inner Mansion of the Mansion, Xing Zhutou was reporting to Zhao Chongwen and the Liu family:
"My lord, the matter has been settled, then Li Pingping and the head of the gambling house have already been ...... by me" After speaking, he made a gesture to wipe his neck.
Zhao Chongwen nodded slightly and asked:
"Is everything clean?"
Xing Zhutou hugged his fist and replied:
"Don't worry, my lord, the hands of my subordinates are naturally clean and neat, and they will not leave the beginning and the end."
Zhao Chongwen smiled with satisfaction and said with appreciation:
"Xing Zhutou is really my right-hand man, without you, this government doesn't know who else is available."
When Xing Zhutou heard Zhao Chongwen's appreciation, he was naturally happy in his heart, patted Zhao Chongwen's sycophant and said:
"The adults are wise and martial, and it is an honor for the subordinates to share the worries of the adults, even if the liver and brain are ruined, they will not give up!"
When Zhao Chongwen heard Xing Zhutou's sycophant, he laughed, his mood was even more comfortable, and he turned to Liu Shi with a smile on his face:
"Madam, now that they are all dead and have no proof, and the clues have basically been destroyed by us, what should we do next?"
Liu nodded slightly and replied:
"Master don't worry, the day after tomorrow is the half-moon period promised by the girl, as long as the time comes, she promised that Wan Zilou has no work, then we can justifiably restart and take over Wan Zilou, and Wan Zilou will return to the master's hands."
As long as our goal is achieved, we don't have to care about how the Shizifu judges that girl, whether we kill or release it has nothing to do with us. ”
Zhao Chongwen touched his mustache and began to dream, he could see the silver floating in front of him, he couldn't help laughing, and said flatteringly to the Liu family:
"Madame is really wise, a small plan, not only easily recaptured Wanzi Tower, but also made a bad breath for this mansion, and more importantly, the Shizi Mansion has nothing to do with us."
Liu Shi Yingying replied with a smile:
"The lord is overrated."
Zhao Chongwen was in a good mood, and ordered his subordinates to prepare a banquet and prepare a banquet to entertain Xing Zhutou.
At the banquet, Zhao Chongwen suddenly asked inexplicably:
"Xing Zhutou has been following this mansion for three years!"
Xing Zhutou clenched his fists and replied:
"Since the adults arrived in Moon Port City, their subordinates have followed the adults for nearly four years."
Zhao Chongwen smiled and said:
"Time flies! I didn't expect that this mansion has been in Yuegang City for so many years, and I still remember that when I came to Yuegang City at the beginning of the year, Xing Zhutou was just a small servant, and now he is now the chief catcher of our government. ”
Xing Zhutou understood what Zhao Chongwen meant, this is to sell favors! Quickly replied:
"Yes! Adult, thanks to the cultivation of adults in the past few years, only his subordinates can become the chief catcher. ”
Zhao Chongwen nodded with satisfaction and said hypocritically:
"What does Xing Zhutou say, as long as Xing Zhutou has never disappointed the government, and Xing Zhutou is loyal to the government, if the government doesn't bring you, who else will you promote?"
Xing Zhutou raised his glass and thanked him:
"Thank you, my lord, my subordinates toast you, and I wish you a cup of success, step by step."
After speaking, he drank it all and showed the bottom of the cup to Zhao Chongwen.
Zhao Chongwen smiled, drank the wine in the cup, slowly put down the wine glass, seemed to be thoughtful, and slowly asked:
"Arrest leader, remember that you still have an old mother at home, and your child is just waiting to be fed, right!"
Xing Zhutou didn't understand why Zhao Chongwen suddenly asked about the people at home, but he still replied truthfully:
"My lord, there is still a loving mother in the family, who is already rare, with two sons under her knees, one tooth and one yellow mouth, how can an adult ask this."
Zhao Chongwen smiled and said hypocritically:
"Xing Zhutou follows the government to handle official business, and the government naturally has to be more compassionate and understand the situation, so that we can better take care of Xing Zhutou's family, isn't it!"
Xing Zhutou did not doubt him, stood up from the table, picked up the wine glass and bowed to Zhao Chongwen and thanked him:
"Thank you, my lord, my subordinates can follow my lord, it is a blessing that my subordinates have cultivated for eight lifetimes, and my subordinates will definitely follow them faithfully in this life."
Zhao Chongwen smiled and waved his hand to Xing Zhutou, motioned for him to sit down, and then said quietly:
"Xing Zhutou, you don't have to be so polite, this is also a matter within the scope of this government. However, in the affairs of this mansion, Xing Zhutou should also be concerned.
Xing Zhutou was puzzled, but still asked respectfully:
"I don't know if there is anything else that the adults have not yet gotten their way, can my subordinates help me?"
Zhao Chongwen stroked his mustache and said slowly:
"After Lu Pingchuan's incident this time, this mansion will definitely reward you a lot, but you remember, no matter how this matter ends, Lu Pingchuan's matter is planned by yourself, and it has nothing to do with this mansion, understand?"
Xing Zhutou reacted at this time, Zhao Chongwen had paved so many good words in the early stage, and he originally wanted to carry this black cauldron.
Xing Zhutou scolded Zhao Chongwen 10,000 times in his heart, thinking that this Zhao Chongwen was really careful, this matter had been settled, and there was no possibility of overturning the case, so he didn't forget to take an insurance policy for himself.
Xing Zhu's face had changed many times for a while, and he was thinking about whether there were any other flaws in this matter, he believed that he would not leave any clues if he made a move, but Zhao Chongwen acted like this, which made the good impression just now disappear suddenly, and he felt even more like eating a fly, which was very disgusting.
Zhao Chongwen saw that Xing Zhutou didn't say anything for a long time, so he immediately lowered his face and said slightly angrily:
"Xing Zhutou, do you not believe in the people of this mansion, or are you not confident enough in what you have done, and just now you kept saying that you would follow loyally, why, such a small thing immediately changed your mind?"
Xing Zhutou was full of heart, knowing that Zhao Chongwen was dissatisfied with his actions just now, so he quickly got up and hugged his fists to apologize:
"The adult misunderstood, how could the subordinates have this idea, the subordinates were just thinking about how to share the worries of the adults, and there was no other meaning."
Zhao Chongwen's face changed like a flip book, and when he heard Xing Zhutou say this, he had a smile on his face, and instantly softened his tone and said:
"Xing Zhutou, sit down and sit down, I just want to have a heart-to-heart relationship with you today, you need to be nervous, it's just that the identity of this mansion is special, and there is no room for mistakes, let's tell you the truth! When the dispute between the princes of the imperial court is decided, the government will be transferred to the capital, and at that time, the government will naturally not leave you behind, and it is better to help you get an official and a half-post in Kyoto than to catch the head in Yuegang City.
Besides, you have done this matter satisfactorily, and they can't find out about you, so they take 10,000 steps back and say, even if you find out about you, as long as you resist all the blame and don't confess to this government, this government can get rid of your guilt for you. ”
Xing Zhutou was in a bad mood by Zhao Chongwen's hand, thinking that doing these things was to tie up the same boat as Zhao Chongwen, and everyone advanced and retreated together, but he didn't expect Zhao Chongwen to unload the mill and kill the donkey.
Xing Zhutou didn't dare to offend Zhao Chongwen, firstly, the matter may not be able to overturn the case, and secondly, Zhao Chongwen asked his family for no reason just now, it was definitely not as concerned as he said, but a threat.
Xing Zhutou reluctantly hugged his fists and agreed to Zhao Chongwen, expressing his willingness to obey Zhao Chongwen's arrangement, and then stopped talking, and after drinking a few glasses of wine, he excused himself from something at home and said goodbye to Zhao Chongwen.
Zhao Chongwen stared at the departing Xing Zhutou insidiously, not knowing what kind of ghost idea he was thinking in his heart.
