Chapter 144: No matter how hard the bones are, they are afraid of kitchen knives
"Do you know that there are as many people who want to serve the Governor as there are carp crossing the river? With you, a mere seventh-grade official, you don't even have the qualifications to bow to the threshold of this governor" Xiao Chen frowned, a trace of undisguised disgust appeared in his eyes, and he sighed lazily, "You don't have to talk such nonsense to this governor. ”
"Whatever the Governor asks you, you say, understand?"
No matter how smart a little minion is, he is just a minion after all, Wang Wancai only has the news about Li Bingzhu, and other than that, he is useless to Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen wouldn't waste more than a stick of incense on him.
"Yes, yes." Wang Wancai's body trembled, and the concubine's head was still on the ground, so frightened that he only felt that his throat was tight and his scalp was numb.
has been an official for so many years, and he is well versed in the way of officialdom and wrongdoing, but he has never seen such an unreasonable, strong and ruthless person as Xiao Chen.
The young overseer in front of him made him feel as unfathomable as an abyss, even if he racked his brains, he couldn't find out the depth of Xiao Chen, only to feel that his confused way was useless in front of Xiao Chen.
"Let's talk about Li Bingzhu first, how is he?" Xiao Chen asked indifferently, and when he raised his eyes, he glanced at a stick of incense on the old iron torture platform.
Wang Wancai's throat moved nervously, and he swallowed a few times with difficulty, and then he recovered his calm mind, kowtowed, and said in a formal manner: "Back to the Governor, Lord Li is the parent official of our Tongyuan Mansion, and he has always been deeply loved by the people. ”
"He is a literati, so he is not bad to us subordinates on weekdays, but his private life seems to be quite complaining, and he has a lot ......of concubines."
As he spoke, Wang Wancai quietly glanced at Xiao Chen's face, and saw that Xiao Chen seemed to have no objection to him for these indifferent private matters, so he dared to let go of his courage to continue, talking about the beauty of Li Bingzhu's concubines and Li Bingzhu's romantic affairs.
Xiao Chen listened leisurely, and even drank a cup of tea handed over by Wei Zhongxian with interest, put down the teacup, and quietly glanced at the half-burned incense, and then asked casually: "What else does he have besides?" ”
Wang Wancai secretly wiped a handful of cold sweat, knelt on the ground and arched his hand, "Li Bingzhu loves to fight crickets in private, and he raised a few cricket kings worth hundreds of gold behind his back......"
"Hundreds of gold?" Xiao Chen's eyebrows sank slightly, his leisurely and leisurely expression slowly receded, and soon, a cold face was covered with a layer of cold and transparent killing intent, "It seems that you are really not less greedy in disaster relief?" ”
Wang Wancai suddenly froze, and a shrewd monkey eye was only remorse and shock at this time, kowtowing again and again, and his voice trembled into a sentence, "Governor, Governor...... The small, the small ones don't know...... It's all, it's all a little mess...... Guess! ”
Xiao Chen snorted coldly, after listening to Li Bingzhu's spring boudoir story, he had rested enough, and he was even more interested in listening to his nonsense at this time.
The cold voice carried the willfulness of power, and Xiao Chen smiled casually: "Oh, since you don't know anything, it's useless." ”
"It's even more deserving."
When the words fell, Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows slightly and motioned for Xiang Yichun to make a move.
These incompetent little officials of chicken thieves are just a skinned mouse in front of Xiao Chen, who can see through everything.
It is the nature of these people not to cry when they don't see the coffin.
Being able to chat with their old cat is already smoking from their ancestral grave.
"Yes, Overseer!" Xiang Yichun didn't hesitate at all, picked up the long sword and went straight to Wang Wancai's fat wife.
Wang Wancai's face suddenly turned blue with fright, and he almost rolled his eyes and died of fright!
The heavy horror brought to him by Xiao Chen's ruthlessness has not subsided, and this wave of unsettled waves has risen again and again, and even if he has great skill in his daily life, it is useless at all.
"The Overseer spares his life, the Overseer spares his life!" Wang Wancai kowtowed in a hurry, so frightened that his forehead was bleeding heavily on the uneven ground.
Of course he knew what Xiao Chen wanted, but, but......
I secretly made this life-saving account book in order to restrain Li Bingzhu, so as not to be killed by Li Bingzhu; Instead of wanting to die with Li Bingzhu!
Once this account book is handed over, it will be confirmed that he and Li Bingzhu are greedy for ink together, and he is doomed to a dead end.
But in front of him, this eunuch who is not affectionate and does not act according to common sense at all has blocked his two paths!
Stretch out your head and cut your head with a knife!
Wang Wancai was so panicked that he kept kowtowing, and he couldn't think of any of his usual thoughts in front of Xiao Chen, so he could only keep pleading in his mouth: "Don't kill my wife...... Please don't kill my lady! ”
Mrs. Wang was also frightened and cried, but the long sword was on her neck, but she didn't dare to cry, her fat face grinned with a big mouth, tears fell like rain, and her mouth whimpered: "Master, you watch your body, ...... master"
At such a life-and-death juncture, the couple actually staged a drama of flounder love, Xiao Chen couldn't help but tremble slightly, frowned and smiled bitterly: "What are you doing?" It made Bento look like a murderous demon. ”
Wang Wancai and Mrs. Wang froze at the same time, and the dungeon was quiet for a moment.
Even the silent floating dust seems to say - aren't you?
"Cough" Xiao Chen also seemed to feel unconfident, the most important thing was that all he cared about was the account book, and as for these ants, it didn't matter to him whether they were alive or dead, he didn't have to kill Wang Wancai.
With a lazy sigh, Xiao Chen smiled slightly, "Wang Tongju, you are lucky, this governor is in a good mood today." ”
"Well, as long as you are willing to hand over the evidence honestly, the governor will let you resign and go into hiding. How about your family being able to survive from now on? ”
This kind of preferential treatment is rare in the East Factory, and many unlucky people who have entered the East Factory can't dream of asking for it, Xiao Chen is really merciful today.
Wang Wancai's monkey face with blood and tears slowly lifted up, and there was a hint of joy in his eyes for the rest of his life, but more, it was still thick and unbelievable.
However, this really seems to be the only way out for him and his family.
After all, Xiao Chen's attitude is already obvious, whether it is useful or not, he must be killed.
Now, if he can cooperate, maybe this unpredictable dog eunuch can really be happy for a while and leave him alive.
Thinking of this, this important official who used to be exquisite in Tongyuan Mansion and even the entire Jiangdong Province could only dare to bow his head sincerely at this time, and completely surrendered to Xiao Chen.
"Thank you, Lord for your kindness, little one, who is willing...... Prove it! ”
"Hmm" Xiao Chen nodded, quite satisfied with his performance, "Say, where is the evidence?" ”
"That's it...... It is hidden thirty miles west of Tongyuan Fucheng, on the edge of the ancestral tomb of the small hometown, under a hundred-year-old locust tree. ”
