Chapter 43: The Game

Zheng Tong picked up the book, but when he opened it, it was a page of notes, with dense writing on it, and after just looking at it a few times, his brows furrowed.

When the other people saw Zheng Tong's expression, they also had doubts in their hearts. Master Zheng didn't delay, handed the notebook over and passed it on, seven or eight people, all with different expressions on their faces.

He calmly looked at their appearances clearly, and then slowly spoke: "I was just watching, and a few people came in. ”

At this time, it happened to be in the hands of Master Wang, and after looking at it twice, he got up and said angrily: "Liu Zhu is treating us as thieves?" ”

A few people around him were afraid that he would make a fuss, so they hurriedly coaxed him to sit down.

Wen Gu didn't seem to mind that Master Wang called Taishou by his name, his expression remained unchanged, and he said: "The content of this note is fragmented, if you are impatient, I can also tell you about it." ”

After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for a few people to speak, and directly motioned for Zhixia to speak.

"After the Liangzhou army entered the city, there was a record of the number of people who left the city, their whereabouts, time, etc. The Liangzhou army surrendered, and Taishou obtained this volume of records from their documents. After that, Taishou asked the generals of the Liangzhou army in detail, saying that the lords sent people out of the city to prepare food and salary for the Liangzhou army. ”

Not only that, but the name of the person who left the city was recorded in the note, when and when he left the city, whether he rode a horse or walked, and even his body appearance were all described. However, several people present have already seen it, so there is no need to say it again.

"After Taishou entered the city, there were also records of people leaving the city, and the ones in the old man's house happened to be listed here."

Zhixia said this, and the hall was quiet for a moment, and an old man said: "We were trapped in the city at that time, and we had to think about asking for help." ”

Then a few people made a lot of noise. It's nothing more than words that explain the situation at the time.

Master Wang glared at Wen Gu even more angrily and asked, "What does Liu Zhi mean by this?" ”

Wen didn't wait for them to come to a conclusion, so he said: "It's not all about Taishou's meaning, Tongcheng is in trouble, not only do you know that you have merit, but Taishou also knows." The imperial court wants to give credit to Taishou, and of course Taishou can't forget you. ”

"It's just that you are not officials of the imperial court, and your merits are to be expressed, but how to express them, there is no good idea for a while."

"After thinking about it for a few days, there is no result, but looking at this thing today, it seems that I have touched some ways, but there are still a few things that I don't understand, since you are here, please help me point out."

Just listening to the meaning of Wen Shu's words, although she said that she was too shou, who didn't know that she was speaking for her aunt.

The old tone is old, and several old men can't care about being casually pinched by this young lady, but what they are thinking about is outside this hall.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Wen simply stood up, and with her movements, several old men raised their heads in unison, and their eyes drifted to her face from everywhere.

He said: "Thinking that the first time I sent people out of the city, I went to report to the imperial court. Taishou can put your loyalty and hardship on the table with the imperial court. But after looking at it, I don't really understand, after Taishou has entered the city, you immediately sent people out, what are you going to do this time? ”

The first time they sent people out of the city, in addition to reporting to Southern Chu, they also reported to Northern Yu. In addition, each family also chooses cronies to pack up their belongings that are easy to carry, and find another place to settle in advance. Among them, some went to the territory of Nanchu, and some went to Yongzhou.

It's just that most of those who went to Yongzhou were stopped by the "Tai Defenders" hiding in the west of the city.

And the second time he went out of the city, he secretly communicated with Beiyu, so he naturally sent the news to the past. It's just that those who are placed in advance are to catch up with the previous person, and if they can stop it, they will stop it, and in the troubled times, cash silver is much more precious than the title deed.

Whether it is to report to Beiyu or plan to go to Yongzhou to settle down, at this time the heart is empty, in front of the court, although these two are light and heavy, but the crime is not shallow, let alone meritorious.

But there are also some of them that have nothing to do with Beiyu.

I only heard that Master Sun, who had never spoken, said gloomily: "Old Madam Liu suspects that someone here is collaborating with us?" ”

Wen Gu did not refute his words, but said with a smile: "After Taishou returned to the city, everything was busy, and you have shared the hardships with Tongcheng, Taishou naturally believes you." It's just that if you want to show your merits, the court will definitely ask carefully, and if you ask here, if there are any mistakes or omissions, I am afraid that it will be self-defeating. ”

Master Wang wanted to argue, but Zheng Tong spoke first: "What does Old Madam Liu mean?" ”

"There are a lot of things in the city, I'm afraid I can't take care of these things, you can go back and check if the people who left the city were ordered by the lord's family, and if so, where did they go?" And why? Just give me an explanation. ”

As he spoke, he walked up to Master Shi and put the paper back.

"Taishou already believes in you, not to mention that this is a family matter, but if there are no other twists and turns, and when the court asks about it in a few days, these things are not important, and they have nothing to do with what is expressed, so I won't mention it."

Wen didn't say it thoroughly, but several people present already understood.

This little lady said that she was too guarded, but in fact she was talking about her aunt who was too guarded, and the dealings they had with in the matter of the public inspection made them understand that Liu Zhu is not a good person to get along with today.

If they dared to mention this matter to Liu Taishou, if they were serious, it would not do them the slightest benefit.

And Aunt Taishou is different, today's call is pretending to be confused, she pointed out that some of the few people present have a big or small relationship with Beiyu, Taishou may care, but the aunt who is not with Taishou doesn't care.

She's greedy for money. As long as they are on her side, according to her heart, then they can press the matter, and everyone is safe.

Those who are weak in heart think so, and there are also those who are not weak-hearted.

Master Wang snorted and said, "I've done what I should do, what kind of merit do I have?" Don't worry too much about me! I don't want it. ”

Wen smiled and said, "What if you have to watch it?" ”

Although Master Wang is a fiery temper, he is by no means heartless. This attitude is already clear.

This is to treat others in the way of others. Since Zheng Tong and the others plan to rely on their deep-rooted foundation in Tongcheng, they will reverse the black and white of their aunt. Naturally, you can also use the convenience of Taishou to counter them as well.

What do these people do when they go out of town, in fact, they don't count. No matter how angry Master Wang is, he is helpless at the moment. If they use the same trick, others will naturally use it.

Seeing that the matter had been explained clearly, and everyone had nothing to say, he wanted to drive away the guests: "Let's stay and have a meal." ”
