It's a pity that Najaden, who has relied on the jailers and poison in the black prison in this life, I don't know how many innocent people have been murdered. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info In the end, he was killed by the jailers with a big bowl of brine, which is really a heavenly cycle, and the retribution is unpleasant.

Naturally, there were enough means in the yamen to disguise him as taking poison and commit suicide. The next morning, after Zheng Ziming had finished dealing with a lot of important matters, he sent Li Shun'er to interrogate the prisoner, and all he saw was a cold corpse.

Li Shun didn't dare to slack off, and immediately ran back to the defense envoy to report to Zheng Ziming. Hearing his words, the latter was stunned, and his face, which was no longer white, suddenly turned black to the bottom of the pot: "Suicide by taking poison?! How can you commit suicide by taking poison, Shunzi, you immediately ordered the soldiers and horses, and arrested all the jailers in the yamen for me! The bones I personally picked up for Jia Deng yesterday broke his thigh bones, both arms, and spine. Within three days, it is a miracle to be able to move a finger, how can you pour poison into your mouth yourself!"

"Obey!" Li Shun agreed, and strode away with his hand on the hilt of the knife.

Zhao Kuangyin and Han Chongyun watched with a smile on the side and did not stop until Li Shun's figure went out of the door, then he shook his head and persuaded one after another: "Forget it, third brother, even if you arrest all the jailers and torture them one by one, it is impossible to find the real culprit." The surname Jia is immortal, in this Cangzhou city, I don't know how many people can't sleep in peace. He's dead, just a hundred gone!"

"Yes, Ziming, you shouldn't have made so much effort to save him yesterday. Although the parents of the doctor are concerned, if people like Jia Deng do not die, everyone in Cangzhou gentry will be in danger. It's better to let him die in a daze, and the big guy will reveal all the past and continue a new chapter!"

"This, you mean, let me just pretend to be confused?" Zheng Ziming's eyes widened, and his face was full of hesitation. In terms of leading troops to fight, his ability is no worse than that of his two friends. But when it comes to the wisdom of officialdom, he is more than a little bit worse than his two friends.

"In fact, who is the real mastermind behind the scenes, isn't it obvious? You keep a living Jaden, it's just one more confession, and it may not be easy to use!" Knowing that his third brother's officialdom experience was close to zero, Zhao Kuangyin grinned bitterly and added in a low voice.

"Yes, what can you do if you catch the official who murdered Jaden? It's just a series of miscellaneous fish, and it can't be the real murderer. Han Chongyun also smiled and added earnestly. "Since you are a magistrate, you have to learn to pretend to be confused. Most of the time, you just need to know it in your heart, but you have to turn a blind eye on the surface!"

"It's like after the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao burned the letter!" Pan Mei, who had always chosen to listen attentively, suddenly interjected, quoting scriptures.

"Oh-hehe, hehe......" Zheng Ziming suddenly realized, covering the back of his head with his hand, and smiled bitterly.

After Cao Cao's victory in the Battle of Guandu, he burned all the captured letters of Yuan Shao. It's not how open-minded they are, it's the most rational choice in that situation. If Cao Cao insisted on a thorough investigation, most of his civil servants would be affected. The Xuchang regime he established was bound to be in danger. And Cao Cao chose to ignore it completely, and those who had secretly eyed Yuan Shao for self-preservation would be grateful for his generosity and thoughtfulness, and would be loyal to him from then on.

Before he Zheng Ziming didn't show enough strength, why didn't many people in Cangzhou join Jia Deng in order to protect themselves? Now that Jia Deng is dead, it is the time for him Zheng Ziming to take the opportunity to win people's hearts. At this juncture, he didn't want to show favor to the local famous family, but he was in a hurry to avenge the damned Jaden, what was it if he didn't have water in his head?

"Thank you Second Brother and Brother Han for your advice!" Thinking about Guan Qiao, Zheng Ziming cleaned up his chaotic mood and solemnly handed over.

"Why be so polite, it's all your own family. Second brother, I just didn't worry about you being an official for the first time, so I followed all the way!" Zhao Kuangyin waved his hand and responded with a smile.

This is a big truth. In terms of martial arts and military strategy, a few local heroes may not be able to pose any threat to Zheng Ziming. Even when he was surrounded by assassins in the "Jieguan Pavilion" that day, Zhao Kuangyin firmly believed that his third brother had the ability to save the day.

But for the hidden arrows in the officialdom, Zhao Kuangyin didn't believe that his third brother had the ability to deal with it. After all, the latter's memories and life experiences before the age of fifteen were completely lost, and after the age of fifteen, they either messed with the rough embryos of the green forest, or were busy struggling to survive, and had little chance to contact the fireworks of the world.

"Your own family, you're welcome. Han Chongyun's thoughts were similar to Zhao Kuangyin's, and he also smiled and added in a low voice. "Cangzhou is not as good as Lijiazhai, and your past experience is basically useless. In Lijiazhai, you only need to manage a dozen people around you, and then train your soldiers and horses. And in Cangzhou, in addition to being a defensive envoy, you also have a history of Cangzhou's assassination. Both military and literary affairs have to be grasped. If Zhong Xun and Tao Zizheng just rely on a few of them, sooner or later they will all be exhausted to death. Therefore, how to deal with the relationship with the local gentry became the first priority. At the beginning, although the master killed people in Zelu and Luzhou ruthlessly, he opened his eyes to those gentry who were willing to bow their heads and submit to softness, this is the reason. Whether it is to pacify the people or to control the place, you have to need help. And only the children of the gentry's family can read and write, and can become your arms and minions!"

In Han Chongyun's view, although Cangzhou has fertile land and has the advantage of boiling the sea to make salt, Zheng Ziming, who is a thorn and a defensive envoy, is not easy to do.

First of all, the Youzhou Army, which is only across the river, will not let a new force slowly grow and grow under its nose. Secondly, the Fu family behind Cangzhou is probably not a good neighbor to get along with. Again, the little emperor Liu Chengyou was originally very jealous of Zheng Ziming, but now that he finds that he is getting fuller, he will use all kinds of means to deal with him. In the end, it is Han Chongyun's own thoughts, he has not told anyone yet, and he does not plan to tell anyone in this life, the favor of the Guo family is not so easy to take. The more Zheng Ziming takes it now, the greater the price he will pay in the future!

Therefore, winning the hearts of the people and gaining the support of the local gentry is Zheng Ziming's top priority. Only with the support of the gentry and large families can Zheng Ziming take root in Cangzhou. The Cangzhou defense hat on his head can be worn safely. For this purpose, even if you temporarily say something against your heart or do something that is contrary to your nature, you will not hesitate to do it.

He and Zhao Kuangyin are both out of kindness. Unexpectedly, the two of them underestimated Zheng Ziming's stubbornness, or recklessness. I saw the latter pondering quietly for a moment, and suddenly, he bowed down again and solemnly saluted the two of them, "Second brother, Brother Han, I understand what you two mean." But I want to see if there is another way to go?"

"Is there any other way?Ziming, don't you let your temperament ......" Zhao Kuangyin and Han Chongyun were taken aback and dissuaded in unison.

"Tuntian, make money, recruit troops!" Zheng Ziming smiled and interrupted in a low voice, "Besides, it is to restore order! If a murderer dies, the offender will be punished, regardless of whether he is rich or poor!"
