Su Shi's approach quickly made these officials around him lose interest, and they followed each other to talk about each other. For example, there is a beautiful woman in the green building in the city, how much land has been expanded by whom, and how much money has been made by whom.

In short, it's just a sentence, and it's all about showing off.

In order to tell Su Shi that they are all powerful and capable.

Su Shi just listened silently to this, and from time to time he would show some exaggerated expressions, as if to say, you are all so powerful.

Su Shi, who was sitting there and did not speak, observed silently like this, just like Ma Wei was sentenced to leave without saying hello, and he also saw it very clearly.

The general judgment is in charge of matters such as grain transportation, family land, water conservancy, and litigation, and has the responsibility of supervising the governor of the state capital.

The responsibility of supervision is heavier, which was originally a restrictive means for the emperor to prevent local people from gaining power.

But what if the general sentence is in cahoots with local officials?

What will happen after the complete loss of supervision, I am afraid that there will only be a trend of the tail not falling.

According to Su Shi's previous understanding, Ma Wei and Geng Kuncheng's personal relationship is good, and many things are done by the two of them, so this position of supervisor has lost its meaning.

And this Ma Wei is still the person of Zhao Yunrang, so with this, it is normal for this person not to pretend to Su Shi.

Su Shi watched Ma Wei leave, his expression unchanged. Although he didn't know why the other party left, he was not panicked at all. Long before entering the city, he arranged everything, who was supposed to go and do what, and in what position.

Now just wait for the people to arrive, and find the opportunity to close the net.

Don't think that Su Shi doesn't dare to take the initiative to provoke disputes, as long as there is a suitable reason, he will dare to do anything.

Then may I ask, is there enough reason to besiege and kill Hou Ye?

Su Shi already knew from Wan Feng's mouth that there was a master named Dong Ming by the side of the Jiangning prefect who had a close relationship with their big boss Huang Shilang. And as long as this person is found, he is willing to speak, and the excuse is equal to there.

Now Su Shi is watching a play.

Look at the various performances of these people. Whoever jumps more happily now is likely to fall worse next.

Time passed, the night slowly began to fall, and more and more city officials rushed here in the prefect's mansion.

On the roof of a house outside the prefect's mansion, Lian Tiexin and his people were watching here, and beside him, there was an additional person in charge of the secret spy department in Jiangning Mansion.

"You know all these officials, right?" Lian Tiexin spoke.

The person in charge of Jiangning nodded humbly and said, "I know, I know, they are all officials from Jiangning Mansion, by the way, and a few of them are county magistrates from the surrounding small counties."

"Well, do these people have any characteristics in common?"

"This..." The person in charge of the Secret Spy Department thought for a moment and said, "It seems that they are usually very close to Geng Kuncheng."

"Oh, so they're all a family. I can't see it, this Geng Kuncheng still has the ability to win over so many local officials." Lian Tiexin smiled and said meaningfully.

At this time, he already had a rough idea of what Su Shi was going to do.

It's just that Su Shi is now the Marquis of Bukit, and there is no possibility of promotion in the court, even if he knows that Geng Kun is powerful and a corrupt official, what can he do?

These local officials all have backgrounds and backers in the imperial court, and if they are only arrested, I am afraid that many people will be attracted to excuse them, and if so, the role of arrest is not very great.

Could it be that Su Shi just wants to make these officials soften, so as to open a gap for Huaxia Bank's entry?

I can't figure it out, and I can't figure it out, so I just don't think about it anymore. Anyway, it won't be long before he sees the results appear.

In the prefect's mansion, after dark, people came almost as soon as possible, and Ma Wei, who had left, also rushed back, and there was a person wearing a brocade robe beside him.

Most of the people who can come this time are officials from Jiangning Mansion,

Everyone wore official uniforms that represented their status. To say that only two of them wore brocade robes. One is Su Shi, and the other is the one who followed Ma Wei into it.

And as soon as this person appeared, many officials immediately got up to greet him, and soon Su Shi also knew the identity of this person from these people, Chen Ke, the shopkeeper of Tongda Qian Zhuang in Jiangning City.

Before coming, Su Shi did not know much about it, and knew that the main business of this Tongda Qian Zhuang was Jiaozi business.

In other words, it was the existence of this person that made Huaxia Qianzhuang unable to enter the Jiangning Mansion. And he came with Ma Wei, so the backer behind him is already ready to come out.

Ma Wei is Chen Ke's backer.

Ma Wei is a big and upright person, does that mean that Zhao Yunrang is also the backer of Jiaozi Qianzhuang?

When Su Shi was thinking about these things, Chen Ke had already greeted everyone and came to him. "Grass Folk Chen Ke has seen Wu Ji Hou."

This scene immediately attracted the attention of many people, and many people looked at this scene with a snicker.

It is said that he is just a grass man, even if he is the shopkeeper of Qianzhuang, he does not have any fame, unless Su Shi summons him, otherwise, he will not be able to meet the Hou Ye of the Great Song Dynasty, let alone come up to talk.

This is the concept of class in feudal dynasties.

Everyone understands this rule, but this Chen Ke still walked in front of Su Shi and took the initiative to say hello.

At this time, if Su Shi doesn't pay attention to him, it will seem that he has no mind and is too petty.

But if you take care of him, you will lower your identity in vain, and people will not take him seriously.

It can be said that at this moment, Su Shi is not reasonable, nor is he ignored. And when everyone was watching, seeing what Wu Jihou was going to do, Su Shi nodded reservedly, "You are the shopkeeper of Tongda Qianzhuang, but I don't know if you know a person named Song Lin?"

When Su Shi asked like this, Chen Ke, who was still smiling, was waiting for Su Shi to make a fool of himself, his face changed, and then his eyes began to dodge unnaturally, "That... The people of the grass do not know the people of Wu Jihou said."

"Oh, I don't know, Ben Hou thought that my subordinate was ignorant, offended the shopkeeper Chen, and was left as a guest by you." Su Shi laughed.

Song Lin was sent to Jiangning Mansion by the headquarters of Huaxia Bank to conduct business, and he was also recommended by Yuan Xiaotou and appointed by Su Shi himself.

However, after sending a letter to the head office a while ago, saying that the situation in Jiangningcheng was complicated, he lost contact.

Su Shi came here this time for the purpose of finding this person. Originally, I just wanted to test it, but I didn't think that Chen Ke's mentality was average, Su Shi's deception, and the other party showed his feet. It can be seen that the other party's ability is not much stronger.

If Su Shi was only suspicious before, it is basically certain now that Song Lin's disappearance must be inseparable from Chen Ke. If you don't get one, this person may be in the hands of the other party now.

Seeing that Su Shi didn't ask anymore, Chen Ke took a few steps back with his fists clenched, and his face calmed down after a while.

originally wanted to take this opportunity to lower Su Shi's grade and make his face black, but he didn't want to be shocked by Su Shi. This scene was seen by many officials who came, and they also had some awe of Su Shi.

No matter what, even if you spend money to find a relationship, and you can be made a marquis by the official family, you should have some ability.

This was just a small episode, and soon the people arrived, and the prefect Geng Kuncheng also walked out wearing an official robe, and after sitting down on the main seat, he waved his hand and said, "Let's serve."

At that moment, the servants all entered in unison, and one after another exquisite dishes were brought to the table.

There are six tables, and there are eight officials at each table, which is more than forty, and these people are all regarded as Geng Kuncheng's people.

Seeing so many officials sitting here, Geng Kuncheng's face was complacent. These people are also the foundation for him to become the overlord of Jiangning.

It was with them that any of Geng Kuncheng's orders could be quickly implemented in Jiangning Mansion. It's like Song Lin came on behalf of Huaxia Bank, and he said that he couldn't open it, then

I can't open it. If you're stubborn, you'll end up missing with you.

As soon as the wine and food were served, Geng Kuncheng drank with everyone with the cup, and from time to time he would touch the cup with Su Shi.

But it can be seen that when clinking glasses with other people, Geng Kuncheng is on his back, but when he drinks with Su Shi, he takes a sip, he is using this way to tell Su Shi and others that a Hou Ye is not in his eyes.

For such a little trick, Su Shi has always been calm, and he has no intention of giving any response.

What's the matter, if a dog bites you, can you still bite a dog?

plainly lowered its own grade.

"Come, Marquis Bukit, General Ben has a drink with you, I have heard that you have killed the three clans in the northern border, it is really exciting, hahaha." Jiangning General Pei Zhong stood up and took the initiative to raise his glass to Su Shi.

"The world says that heroes are massive. Presumably, Bukit Hou must be a huge amount of the mass, so let's drink one cup and Bukit Hou drink three cups, so how about I wait to see the hero's posture?" Pei Zhong said this with a smile on his face, but the provocation in his words was very obvious.

Jingling.

As soon as the words fell, when many people looked here, the wine glass in Su Shi's hand suddenly fell to the ground.

I don't know if I was frightened or shocked, but in short, this move instantly attracted many officials to make loud mockery.

Lou Yang's face behind Su Shi changed, so he stepped forward to pick up the cup as soon as possible, and then threw it out of the hall with force, and said while throwing it back, "This wine glass is too slippery, it's not easy to hold, it should be smashed."

"Huh? Hahaha."

When everyone heard this strange remark, they were all stunned for a moment, and then they couldn't help laughing.

A person doesn't have the strength to hold the wine glass, and in turn blames the body of the glass for being too slippery, this kind of excuse is really ridiculous.
