Chapter 178: The Hand Behind the Scenes

Zhao Di was willing to say a few more words in the face of Fan Wenzheng's courtesy, after all, the other party showed his due demeanor, but he naturally couldn't admit that he was guilty of the court's questioning, although he used trickery in this matter, but it was Ding Yi who calculated him first, so he had a clear conscience, and he was naturally full of confidence in the face of Fan Wenzheng's inquiry.

Fan Wenzheng is not comparable to Ding Yi and those people, and when he heard Zhao Di's questioning, he nodded and said: "Ding Yi and others are naturally guilty of breaking into the prince's mansion, but after all, they are not guilty to death, and the prince killed them in front of the mansion, which is somewhat too late." However, there is a reason for the incident, and we will not discuss the rights and wrongs of this matter now, but first investigate the ins and outs of the matter from the root, and then discuss the rights and wrongs. ”

Zhao Di still admired Fan Wenzheng's way of doing things, he nodded slightly and said: "It's okay, then ask Wen Zhenggong to investigate and collect evidence first, and this king will wait for Wen Zhenggong's good news." After saying that, he bowed his hand slightly and left first.

Fan Wenzheng hurriedly raised his hand and said: "Lord Wang, stay here, the lower officials have already sent people to investigate and collect evidence everywhere, I believe there will be a response soon, why don't you go into the palace to rest first, and wait to accompany the lower officials to verify the results together, how about it?"

Zhao Di didn't expect Fan Wenzheng to make this request, seeing Fan Wenzheng's sincere expression, Zhao Di had no choice, nodded and said: "Since Wenzheng is so fair, this king is naturally willing to accompany him." ”

Zhao Di entered the government accompanied by Fan Wenzheng and others, and after some politeness, the two sides sat down to drink tea, and Fan Wenzheng took the initiative to provoke the conversation, saying: "I don't know if the prince is good at chess, although the official is not good at chess, but he likes to exchange chess with others." ”

Although Zhao Di is not a chess master, he often played chess in his previous life in order to exercise his concentration, and he also came into contact with chess early in this life, so he nodded and said: "Then let's have a game!"

Soon, someone presented the chessboard, and Zhao Di and Fan Wenzheng each sat down to play chess, and a group of officials next to them also watched quietly around the two.

Although Zhao Di is a human being in two lives, it is still the soul of the previous life that dominates his character, so Qi Feng also focuses on the way of killing, especially Zhao Di knows that Fan Wen wants to peek into his heart through chess power, so he has no scruples about playing.

Fan Wenzheng's chess front is the middle, and in the face of Zhao Di's fierce killing moves, he can always lag in a silent way.

The game between the two sides is a bit evenly matched, but if you taste it carefully, it can be seen that Fan Wenzheng's chess strength is still superb, after all, he is on the defensive side, but he can always resolve Zhao Di's fierce attack at the key point, this method has to be admirable.

A game of chess Zhao Di is pressing step by step, but the ten success is often not able to play sixty percent under Fan Wenzheng's continuous entanglement, and the whole game of chess is still difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat for two hours, and it is at this time that someone came to report and sent out to investigate the case The personnel returned.

Fan Wenzheng looked at Zhao Di with a smile and said, "Lord Wang, if this game is a draw, let's go and see the results of the investigation together?"

Zhao Di nodded indifferently and said, "It's okay!" Directly threw the number of pieces in his hand onto the chessboard, got up and brushed his sleeves and went first.

Fan Wenzheng's originally peaceful smile followed and got up and wanted to leave, but suddenly saw the number thrown by Zhao Di on the chessboard happened to fill in a few vacant seats on the chess board, and the whole chess game completely changed in an instant, he was stunned for a moment, and a bitter smile suddenly appeared on his face, but this bitter smile He quickly retracted, and did not let the people around him find out, when he got up, he flicked his sleeves slightly to mess up the chess game on the chessboard, and did not let people find the situation on the chessboard.

At this time, Fan Wenzheng already understood in his heart that Zhao Di had been hiding clumsily just now, originally he thought that he had penetrated the overall situation, and the whole situation was under his control, until Zhao Di threw out a few pieces to end the chess game, he realized that in fact, the whole situation was under Zhao Di's control, and in his seemingly sharp killing, Zhao Di had already completed the layout, but he had been hiding and not revealing it, and he didn't even notice it at all.

The game between the two sides was originally a silent temptation, Fan Wenzheng originally thought that he had seen through Zhao Di, but he didn't expect Zhao Di to have already understood his thoughts, until the last throw was a silent warning, and he Fan Wenzheng's little caution should not be used indiscriminately on him Zhao Di.

Of course, it is precisely because Zhao Di understands that Fan Wenzheng's temptation is not that he has ill intentions, but a sense of admonition, and has been making a soft resolution of Zhao Di's attack in the chess game, and persuading Zhao Di not to rush forward and form a lose-lose ending.

It is precisely because of his insight into Fan Wenzheng's mind that Zhao Di will finally reveal his layout, so that Fan Wenzheng knows that he Zhao Di is prepared.

This is also a kind of silent warning from Zhao Di, if he Fan Wenzhengxin is not in him Zhao Di, then in the end, it is better to watch from the wall and not enter the game easily.

When a group of people came to the front of the mansion hall, Fan Wenzheng recruited the personnel who went out to investigate, and everyone presented the results of their investigation and then retreated.

After Fan Wenzheng read the investigation results one by one, he transferred the evidence to Zhao Di, Zhao Di also quickly browsed the evidence, and had to admire Fan Wenzheng's investigation methods, this kind of old fox who knows the facts is really not easy to deceive!

Fan Wenzheng did not investigate the merchants who levied taxes, but directly started from the money and transportation, and the people who had already collected the taxes, after all, the flow and transportation of money and property could not be faked, and the money was indeed stored in Zhao Di's mansion at that time, and the personnel responsible for escorting the money were also the fast catchers in the government, which could not be concealed at all, so as long as these points were grasped, Zhao Di's tricks could not escape the eyes of those who had a heart.

In the face of these evidences, Zhao Di also had to admit that he was too rough in this matter, but the expression on Zhao Di's face was still very calm, and he said to Fan Wenzheng: "Wen Zhenggong intends to use this to convict this king?"

Fan Wenzheng shook his head slightly and said: "Of course it can't be, after all, that money finally appeared in the Ding Mansion, which was seen by the people of Tianwei City, so this matter can only be regarded as a headless public case in the end." It's just that the lower officials want to consult the prince, a total of 137 people in Tianwei City have gone to the top ten sub-cities in the vicinity in the past ten days, and they are wandering around the market to wantonly win over and suppress the major gangs or idle organizations in the market, what does the prince want?"
