Chapter 8: The Horror of Honesty

Wang Defu couldn't help but squint his eyes after hearing Chu Nan's words, while Liang Rang bowed his head and remained silent. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info This time to investigate the case, no matter what the result is, the Zhang family is always a topic that cannot be avoided, compared to the direct contact with the Zhang family soon after, most people are more inclined to grasp a certain amount of evidence before going.
Chu Nan said with a smile: "Your Excellency, you don't need to worry, we know it in our hearts, and the people of the Zhang family are also prepared." We dragged on not to see the people of the Zhang family, but it seemed that we were timid, and the Zhang family couldn't be sure. ”
Liang Rang pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "What Commander Chu said is not unreasonable, this matter is up to you, remember to pay attention to the ways and means." ”
Chu Nan nodded, he didn't shirk it, Liang Rang slipped his head, let himself contact first, it left a lot of leeway, even if he offended Zhang Jialiang Rang, he could also put the fault on himself, and then come forward to make peace.
After speaking, Liang Rang silently picked up the teacup and stopped talking. Chu Nan and Wang Defu said goodbye and left.
Wang Defu walked in front of Chu Nan and said to Chu Nan: "You have to stop in moderation, don't be too sharp, Lord Liang doesn't like someone to be too showy." ”
Chu Nan didn't speak, just nodded, but sighed in his heart, he couldn't help it, if he wasn't stronger, he was afraid that Liang Rang would always use himself as a marginal character who did errands.
The implementation of the new ideas suggested by Chu Nan did not encounter much suffering, everyone is not a fool, they can investigate the case and make themselves more comfortable, if they really oppose it, they are fools.
Of course, there are still such fools, Wang Buregret frowned and sat beside Chu Nan, and hesitated for a long time before saying: "My lord, I always feel that this is inappropriate, let's let everyone go out for a run, many things can only be relieved if you go out and see them with your own eyes." ”
Chu Nan comforted: "Lord Wang should also be considerate of the people below, these people are really tired and ruthless." ”
Wang Buregret still protested euphemistically: "That's good, I'll divide the people into three teams, go out in batches, and take turns to rest." ”
Chu Nan didn't want to be too tough, so he reluctantly agreed.
At this time, a small official from the Metropolitan Procuratorate came in with two middle-aged people, and said to Chu Nan respectfully: "My lord, the people of the Zhang family have arrived. ”
Chu Nan nodded, said a few words of encouragement, motioned for him to step back, and smiled and asked the people of the Zhang family to sit down.
Chu Nan looked at the two of them, and at a glance he could see that the identities of the two people were different. The person in front was smiling, looking neither humble nor arrogant, and the latter looked a little nervous, although he pretended to be calm, but his movements were still a little stiff.
After the person in front of him saluted Chu Nan and the others, he smiled and said: "The villain Zhang Ziliang is the steward of the Zhang family, and he was ordered by the head of the family to cooperate with the adults to investigate the case, and at the same time, he is also here to show the position of the Zhang family." ”
Chu Nan nodded and smiled: "It's still troublesome to manage Zhang, and there is no other meaning, but there are some things to confirm with the people of the Zhang family, and I have to report to the head of the family on my behalf." ”
Zhang Ziliang nodded understandingly, and said: "I understand what Lord Chu means, in order to cooperate with the investigation of the case and express the position of the Zhang family at the same time, I also brought Zhang Mingjing's former account master this time, and there are some things that Lord Chu can ask him." ”
Chu Nan looked at the middle-aged Confucian who was cramped and restless behind Zhang Ziliang, and was a little surprised.
Zhang Ziliang said calmly: "The Zhang family has a descendant like Zhang Mingjing, which is also a misfortune for the family. The Zhang family specially found this person this time, and they also wanted to repay the Zhang family's innocence through the hands of all adults. ”
Chu Nan whispered a few words, and Wang Buregret was full of excitement and took the man down for interrogation, which was also the biggest gain so far.
Zhang Ziliang groaned: "Don't hide it from your lord, this time the Zhang family promised to ensure his safety before he was willing to come forward, so ............"
Chu Nan said with a smile: "Steward Zhang is too worried, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate doesn't know the rules, it's just to ask some questions." ”
Wang Bu regretted taking that person down, as for the result, Chu Nan was still willing to believe in the level of those professionals in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Chu Nan beckoned his subordinates to serve tea to Zhang Ziliang, seemingly casually gossiping.
Chu Nan signaled Zhang Ziliang to be casual, and said with a smile: "Steward Zhang is from a hundred-year-old family like the Zhang family, so he has naturally seen the world, and the conditions here are a little simpler, so please don't be surprised by Steward Zhang." ”
Zhang Ziliang shook his head and said: "Don't hide it from Lord Chu, the villain is just one of the foreign affairs managers of the Zhang family, I don't dare to say that I have seen any big world, but it is just because the villain is more familiar with Zhang Mingjing's affairs that the head of the family arranged for me to come." ”
Chu Nan said in surprise: "I originally thought that Steward Zhang was the person who spoke for the Zhang family. The Zhang family is really amazing, a talent like Steward Zhang must be a key figure in charge elsewhere. ”
Zhang Ziliang didn't seem to hear the meaning of Chu Nan's words to complain about himself, and said with a smile: "Don't hide it from Lord Chu, this mansion at your feet is the Zhang family's property." ”
Chu Nan's expression was light, Zhang Ziliang was surprisingly honest, if he was tempted, he would seem to be a child, and asked very bluntly: "I know that Zhang Mingjing is out of the Zhang family, but I don't know what status he has in the Zhang family?"
Zhang Ziliang was still honest and amazing, and sighed: "Speaking of which, Zhang Mingjing can also be regarded as half the master of the villain. may be the bridge that adults are tired of hearing, he is the illegitimate son of the second master of the Zhang family, and he has been a marginal figure in the Zhang family before the accident. ”
Chu Nan narrowed his eyes, he really didn't know if Zhang Ziliang was born so honest, and his honesty was scary, so he pretended to be casual and said, "Is Zhang Mingjing really dead?"
Zhang Ziliang was not angry, and his face did not even change, and he said in a deep voice: "At the beginning, the news of Zhang Mingjing's death was sent to the Zhang family by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Zhang family also sent someone to confirm it, but the body has been soaked in the water for so long that it has long been impossible to distinguish the face. ”
Chu Nan nodded, not dwelling on this issue, the Metropolitan Procuratorate had already confirmed Zhang Mingjing's death, and the question should not be this occasion, and asked with a smile: "I heard that Zhang Mingjing was involved with pirates, and was killed by pirates because he lost his position?"
Zhang Ziliang's face was full of seriousness, and he said slowly: "Don't tell lies in front of the Ming people, anyone who eats the food of the maritime merchants, if they can't think of a mistake, those pirates who kill people without blinking an eye must be dealt with well, but after all, the Zhang family has a big business, and they are not afraid of those pirates, so the well water does not interfere with the river water." But Zhang Mingjing's death at the hands of pirates can be regarded as self-inflicted. ”
Chu Nan watched Wang Buregret bring that person back, and didn't ask any more, looking at Wang Buregret and nodded, he knew that the harvest was not small.
Zhang Ziliang glanced at the man and got up to leave.
Chu Nan sent Zhang Ziliang out with a smile, walked to the gate of the courtyard, and suddenly asked the person behind Zhang Ziliang: "I don't know this gentleman's surname, where is his name? Why do I look a little familiar." ”
The man was a little flustered, bowed his head and said, "The villain's surname is Chu, a person from Jingzhou." ”
Chu Nan nodded, his face was silent, but he sighed secretly in his heart.
Wang Buregret watched Zhang Ziliang and the two walk away, and wanted to say something to Chu Nan with some excitement, Chu Nan waved his hand and said with a smile: "It seems that the harvest is not small, but it's not worrying, go back and talk about it." ”
Wang Buregret happily talked about the harvest, and finally did not forget to sigh: "Lord Chu's method is really powerful, Zhang Mingjing's account master has found it, and there are many places that couldn't be figured out before." ”
Chu Nan's expression was gloomy, and he always felt a little irritable, where is the effect of his own method, it is clearly the evidence sent by the Zhang family themselves, but the most headache for Chu Nan is the honest and terrible Zhang Ziliang, a district manager has such confidence and demeanor, and it is conceivable how difficult it is for the Zhang family leaders and the Zhang family leaders who are standing behind the scenes to deal with.
Wang Buregret looked at Chu Nan's unkind expression, and said carefully: "Your Excellency, don't worry, the Zhang family has already said that the master of the account room is on call, and the Zhang family is responsible for the problem." ”
Chu Nan sighed, nodded, and signaled that the king would not regret going down and be busy himself.
Chu Nan was silently considering the current situation, the attitude of the Zhang family was incomprehensible, and Emperor Liang's mind was not easy to guess, this case was really tricky to investigate.
Tang Shu, who was no longer drifting when he walked, interrupted Chu Nan's thoughts, and whispered: "Young master, there is your letter, it seems that it was written by Madame." ”
Chu Nan took the letter and muttered, "I've only been here for a few days, what big deal can I have?"
Chu Nan opened the letter casually, read it roughly, and couldn't help frowning when he saw the end, and rolled his eyes angrily: "Yang Lin can be blamed on me for running away from home?
