Soon, a corpse was carried up to the main hall.

Wang Jishan introduced to everyone: "Everyone, this is the corpse of the killer Pinggu. ”

Zheng Shuping snorted coldly: "I want to see, how do you make a dead man speak?" ”

Wang Jishan saluted the emperor and said loudly: "Before coming, the grass people went to the black market. Buying a murder under the pretext of buying a murder is actually to find out the news to see if you can get evidence of Zheng Zihe buying a murderer on the black market. ”

"It's a pity that the black market has strict rules and never reveals the identity of the employer."

Zheng Shuping scoffed: "Is there no evidence?" ”

"Nope! Not for nothing. Wang Jishan looked at each other playfully.

Uncle Zheng's heart suddenly burst, and he always felt that something was wrong.

"After inquiry, I learned that all employers who want to buy murderers have to pledge a valuable item to prove their identity."

Wang Si was puzzled: "Isn't buying a murderer just recognizing money?" ”

Wang Jishan smiled and said, "Uncle, you obviously haven't dealt with the black market. ”

Wang Si glanced at him and scolded with a smile: "As a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, Uncle Wei is sitting upright, what are you doing on the black market?" ”

The crowd burst out laughing.

Li Er asked with interest: "Go on, why do you want to pledge something to prove your identity?" ”

Wang Jishan explained: "Buying murder is different from others, but you can't buy everything with money. Some killers also pay attention to a thief and have a way, only killing the wicked and not the good. ”

Zheng Shuping took a sip, "Phew! Are they all killers, and they still want to be good people? ”

Wang Jishan continued: "Of course, it is more because of the fairness of the transaction. Pay the deposit first, and collect the balance after the work is done. In order to ensure that he gets the final payment, the killer must figure out who he is serving. After all, he makes money with his head, and there are many things that are used as knives and opposing the two sides, so there are many rules in this industry. ”

"Killers not only want to do things and get money, but most importantly, they want to live to earn money, and in order to save their lives, they set a lot of rules. These rules will screen out the end customer for them, while also establishing a simple foundation of trust. ”

Zheng Shuping reminded: "What's the use of saying so much? We don't go to the black market, we don't need you to educate us. ”

Wang Jishan smiled, "You still don't understand?" ”

Understand what?

Wang Jishan pointed to the killer's corpse and said, "This person has an object in his hand that can prove the identity of the employer. ”

Uncle Zheng snorted coldly: "Joke, it was hired by the dog slave Xu San'er, he already made it clear just now." ”

Wang Jishan smiled, "Xu San'er is just a subordinate, he doesn't have anything valuable to pledge." ”

"Many people on the black market know about this, and when they bought the murderer, most people were reluctant to take over, thinking that killing the Enke candidate was an unconscionable act. Only this Pinggu is a little red and has no bottom line, and he is willing to take over. But only if the money given is sufficient. Therefore, the pledged things must also be valuable, Xu San'er can't take it out, and this kind of killer is not so easy to deceive. ”

Speaking of this, Zheng Shuping was a little flustered.

The Chang'an County Commander walked out with a box in his hand, "Your Majesty, this is a high-grade jade pendant found on the killer." I thought it was the killer's own, but later I learned that it was the employer's token, and someone had already identified it, and it was Zheng Zihe's. ”

"Slander, you slander! Killers have always taken money to kill people, how can they investigate employers? If so, who still goes to the black market for hire? Zheng Shuping roared angrily.

Chang'an County Ling glanced at him, "Mr. Zheng, a killer is also a human being, even if he becomes a killer, he is still a person who eats by his craft, the purpose is to survive, not to destroy human nature." Only by accepting this kind of innocent business by the employer can the business be sustainable and ......"

"Ahem, Chang'an County, these words are not for you to say." Li Er interrupted: "This object can indeed prove that it is Zheng Zihe's?" ”

Chang'an County was embarrassed and hurriedly pleaded: "Your Majesty forgives me, and Weichen lost his words." This physical evidence is indeed Zheng Zihe's. Now that the human and material evidence are there, the ministers dare to give orders to His Majesty. ”

"Okay, stand aside."

"Zheng Zihe, a disciple of the Zheng family, bought a murderer to kill the Enke candidates, the facts are all there, and the crime is extremely heinous. Zheng Shuping, what else do you have to say? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji stood up, "Your Majesty, the people of the Zheng family deliberately sabotaged Enke and prevented the imperial court from selecting talents, and their hearts can be punished!" ”

Yes?

"Your Majesty forgives us, we don't know at all, it's all Zheng Zihe and one person, we don't know at all." At this moment, Uncle Zheng couldn't care about protecting his nephew.

Wei Zheng stood up and said, "Zheng Zi and personal behavior? He has no grievances with those candidates, why should he buy murder? Listening to Xu San'er's confession, it is clear that he is deliberately destroying Enke! ”

Xu San'er? Yes, what he just said was to blame Wang Jishan.

Zheng Shuping seized the opportunity, "No, he is taking the opportunity to blame Wang Jishan, and it is his personal grudge with Wang Jishan." I, Xingyang Zheng, don't know, and I will never dare to sabotage Enke and block the country's material selection plan. ”

Li Er was silent.

Seeing that the situation was becoming more and more unfavorable to the Zheng family, Wang Jishan stood up, "Your Majesty, after interrogation, Zheng Zihe confessed that it was indeed because he had a grudge against the grass people, and wanted to use this ruthless way to put the grass people to death in one fell swoop. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji jokingly said: "Purely for personal vendetta? I'm afraid it's not at all. If it's purely a personal vendetta, it's good to buy murder directly, why take the trouble to set up such a game? I'm afraid that I want to kill two birds with one stone, which can not only stop Enke of the imperial court, but also get rid of the enemy by the way. ”

Wang Jishan sighed and said: "The grass people can't refute it, they do have this suspicion. ”

Li Er opened his mouth and said, "Where is Zheng Zihe?" ”

The Chang'an County Commander personally walked out of the main hall and brought Zheng Zihe up.

Li Er asked, "Are you Zheng Zihe?" How vicious is it to buy a murderer to kill Enke candidates? I want to know, what is your purpose in committing the crime? ”

Zheng Shuping hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty Mingjian, it is by no means a deliberate attempt to destroy Enke......"

Wei Zheng shouted: "Bold, above the main hall, dare to openly collude with confessions? ”

I saw that Zheng Zihe smiled unconsciously and sadly, "Why do you need to confess?" A manly man, dare to do and admit it, I did it when I bought the murder. I am not afraid to hide it from Your Majesty, but I have the intention of destroying Enko. Another purpose is for Wang Jishan. ”

"If it weren't for a traitor who was clever and exposed his flaws, resulting in a failure, according to my original calculations, this would be a perfect death for Wang Jishan!"

Wang Si said angrily: "My Taiyuan Wang family and your Xingyang Zheng family are old friends, and the two sides have no enmity or grudge, why are you so ruthless to deal with Wang Jishan?" ”

Zheng Zihe sneered: "Since I was a child, I have heard everyone praise him Wang Jishan, and I did this to prove to you old and dizzy people that I, Zheng Zihe, are better than him Wang Jishan." ”

Wang Jishan smiled bitterly: "You are indeed smarter than me. At least I can't solve this game. You lost to the champion Hou, and it was his slight tricks that led your subordinates to be fooled and exposed their flaws. Otherwise, we really don't have any clues to find you. ”

"Hou Xiaorui, the champion of the first person in the world? Hehe! In this way, I am not unjustly lost. Zheng Zihe glanced at the Manchu Dynasty and wanted to see who Xiao Rui was.

"Don't look at it, Master Hou won't go to court for a little thing like you." Chang'an County ordered to mend the knife and said.

Zheng Zihe: "What an arrogant character...... It's a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to see each other. Can you help me bring a message to Xiao Rui? ”

The Chang'an County Commander looked at the emperor, and the emperor nodded: "People are about to die, and their words are good, say it." ”

Zheng Zihe looked at the emperor and said, "Please tell him four words: draw salary from the bottom of the kettle!" ”

Well? Everyone is confused, what does this mean?

Only Zheng Shuping understood, is this trying to leak our plan?

"Bastard, what are you talking about?" Zheng Shuping rushed up and slapped the person hard, knocking him unconscious.
