The news that Guo Ziyi, the deputy protector of the Shan Metropolitan Protector Mansion and the envoy of Zhenyuan Army, brought his son and daughter-in-law to visit the new Liangzhou Assassin and stayed in the Assassin Mansion for four or five days was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

"Master, what should we do now? This Guo Duhu rushed over in such a hurry, obviously to support them. As a result, there are few people in Liangzhou who have to change their attitudes. I'm afraid that the good things I said before will not be counted!" said Mrs. Zhan with an anxious face.

Zhan Sima also had a gloomy face.

"I knew that the Cui family had a strong background in Chang'an, and Mrs. Thorn Shi expanded a lot of contacts for him because of her good medical skills. I never thought that this connection was so strong! In this way, I really have to think about it again. ”

"Otherwise, master, let's endure it any longer! Hengzhu has survived so many years, let's continue to survive these three years. Since he is so capable, he will definitely be promoted again in three years. When the position is vacated, who else in the entire Liangzhou will have the qualifications to take over except you?" Mrs. Zhan said in a low voice.

Zhan Sima sneered.

"Three years? Hehe, in just three months, I can suddenly transfer a person from outside to grab the position that has been set for me a long time ago, and who knows what will happen in three years? I have been working hard for more than 20 years, yes, but this time it is obviously my turn, but I was robbed alive, why? I am not convinced! Where is he going, he is not good, but he is going to come to Liangzhou to grab my position? The entire Hexi Corridor and the south and north of the desert are so many good places, all of which are important border towns, he wants to pick any one of them, why do you want to rob me? I just can't swallow this breath!" Zhan Sima became more and more agitated the more he spoke, so much so that at last he let out a loud cry, his face contorted with anger.

People are like that. Knowing what you can't get, you naturally don't dare to expect extravagantly, just do your duty with peace of mind. But once he knew that the thing was about to belong to him, he had already regarded it as his own possession, and he had already stretched out his hands and waited for the fruit to fall into his hands, but in the blink of an eye, the fruit was actually picked by someone else!

That's his!

Why should others rob it? What qualifications do others have to rob it?

If you rob him of something, it will cut off his future, and that will kill him! Since that person dares to ask for his life, he will fight with him! It's that simple!

The fierceness of the Qiang people can be seen.

Madame Zhan trembled with fright when she saw this. "Sir, don't get excited, don't get excited. Now this person's identity is not ordinary, if we have a hard fight with him, I am afraid that the end will be very miserable! You must know that in the places where he was before, all the people who opposed him did not end well. ”

"I know, of course I'm not going to go toe-to-toe with him. Zhan Sima suddenly put away his anger, and then the corners of his lips hooked slightly, and he actually smiled slightly.

"In the entire Liangzhou, I am not the only one who has an enmity with him. ”

Two days after Guo Ziyi left, a looting incident occurred in the west of Liangzhou City. A caravan of forty or fifty people, more than ten vehicles, was looted, and most of the casualties in the caravan were lost, and the end was very miserable.

By the time the government heard the news and rushed over, the gang of murderers had already run away with the goods.

When the survivors were taken back to the government for questioning, they only said that it was a group of aliens. At that time, because they appeared suddenly, and they all wrapped their faces in cloth, only a pair of eyes were exposed, and there were not many eye-catching features, so it was impossible for people to verify. Over the years, there have been too many cases like this in Liangzhou Mansion, and less than one in ten can be solved, and most of them have been resolved.

But this time, the caravan personnel lost a lot of money, and the leader of the caravan had something to do with Chang'an. After Chang'an learned the news, he wrote a letter to Liangzhou, warning the Liangzhou prefect to solve the case in time and recover the losses for the caravan.

The prefect of Liangzhou wanted to cry without tears when he held the letter, so he could only desperately shoot the official and go out to search everywhere. But what can be the result?

Half a month later, he knelt in front of Cui Pu crying.

Cui Pu looked at the person kneeling at his feet, lowered his eyes and thought for a long time before he said: "Since it happened in Liangzhou, this assassin will naturally not ignore it." In this way, the Ming Japanese assassin will gather all the officials in Liangzhou Mansion and discuss the countermeasures together. ”

"Xiaguan thank you for the assassination! Xiaguan thank you for the assassination!" the prefect was overjoyed and hurriedly saluted and thanked him.

But when he got out of the Assassin's Mansion, the corners of his lips twitched slightly, and there was a sneer.

In the evening, Zhao Liu took the initiative to come to Mu Jiaojiao.

"Lady, now there are rumors outside, saying that Lang Jun promised to solve the case of looting the caravan within a month, and he will get all the money that was stolen back!"

"So fast, the news has spread so much? It seems that the prefect has just gone out on the front foot, and the news has been spread everywhere!" Cui Pu snorted coldly.

"It's just putting pressure on you! Mu Jiaojiao raised two fingers.

When he first came to Liangzhou, Cui Pu's skills were spread in the teahouse and restaurant, so that the people had endless hopes for this new assassin. As a result, he did not move for a long time. This time, such a big case happened in the territory under his jurisdiction, and he promised to intervene in the matter again, and the news naturally spread again.

If Cui Pu doesn't make some achievements this time, his image in the eyes of the people will be greatly discounted.

Even, in the eyes of his subordinates, the achievements he made before must be marked with a question mark, which makes people begin to wonder if those are the result of the Cui family's help? After all, the places he governed before were mainly cultural and educational, and they were all places where the Cui family's forces could penetrate. But in a border area like Liangzhou, the influence of the Cui family has been greatly reduced.

It's said that there are no more than three things. In fact, as early as the second defeat, those people were going to despair of him, right?

Cui Pu tugged at the corners of his mouth. "A month is a month. If I'm done, that's what I'm capable of. If I can't do it, what can they do to me? It's not my task in the first place, it's a matter of affection if I do it well, and others have no right to criticize me if I don't do it well. ”

That being said.

But you're different!

Mu Jiaojiao sighed in her heart.

That being said, Cui Pu still posted everywhere in time.

The next day, everyone who was invited arrived, and everyone was still polite to Cui Pu.

Cui Pu didn't say much to them, so he directly told them the details of the case, and asked, "I don't know what you think about this?"

"I don't dare to take it seriously, but since Cui Tingshi asked, the lower officials have to say a few words. Zhan Sima immediately stood up. As Cui Pu's deputy, his performance is very reasonable, and he also shows his support for Cui Pu's work in a timely manner.

I saw him carefully take out a scroll and hand it over: "Xiaguan has been in Liangzhou for more than 20 years, and has experienced no less than 100 cases like this, all the cases, processes and processing results are written in it, Governor Cui, please take a look." ”

He contributed such important information as soon as possible, which is enough to show his eagerness to solve the case.

Cui Pu bowed his head, took something, and praised him a few words by the way.

The prefect then told the practice of this period of time again. Others also spoke their minds freely.

A group of people gathered together and talked lively for a long time before finally dispersed. Cui Pu left Zhan Sima behind.

Zhan Sima was obedient and obedient, and even when the two were alone, he was very respectful to Cui Pu. "I don't know if you have anything else to explain to the lower officials?"

"I didn't confess, but I heard about one thing in the past two days, and I want to ask Zhan Sima to verify it. Cui Pu said indifferently.

Zhan Sima nodded hurriedly: "If you say anything about the assassination, the lower officials must know everything and say everything." ”

"I heard that before the previous assassin left office, he promised you that he would nominate you to take his place?" Cui Pu said.

Zhan Sima's body stiffened obviously, and then he smiled dryly: "It's just a few jokes after we get drunk, and we can't take it seriously." Cui Tingshi, don't take it to heart, the lower officials have never had any disrespect for you!"

"Hey, look at you! Ben Tingshi just wants to verify the authenticity with you, are you scared like this?" Cui Pu walked over and patted him on the shoulder, "Now according to what you said, it is true? ”

"Cui Thorn History, don't say that!" Zhan Sima was so frightened that he knelt down directly, "The lower official is from a humble background, and he has been satisfied since he was a small official as Shangsi, and he never dared to covet the position of Assassin Shi." That incident was really just a few jokes after drinking, and the lower officials had already forgotten about it!"

"So, in fact, you don't want to be a assassin at all?" Cui Pu asked.

Zhan Sima's lips trembled a few times. "It's impossible to say that you don't want to be promoted and get rich. It's just that the lower officials also have this self-knowledge, and they know what kind of material they are, so they never dare to think too much. ”

In other words, he still wants to be promoted and make a fortune.

Cui Pu smiled. "Anyway, this is something that Ben Assassin owes you. It's just that Ben Thorn Shi was not familiar with the things in Liangzhou before, and he didn't think of being transferred here to do things at all, so he didn't mean to steal your position. But now that you know, this assassin must give you some compensation. You say, in a few days, I see that there is a vacancy in the assassin position, so I will nominate you, how about it?"

"Cui Tingshi, you are really tormented by the lower officials! The lower officials really really don't have any wishful thinking about the position of the assassin history!" Zhan Sima was about to cry.

Seeing this, Cui Pu also cured it for the time being.

After a few more words to appease him, he ordered someone to send him out.

As soon as he turned around, Zhan Sima's pitiful appearance of not crying immediately disappeared.

"If you want to compensate me with the position of the assassin in another state, then I have to be willing to do it!"

After sending this person away, Cui Pu also snorted lightly. After talking for a long time, I got three truths. ”

"Which three sentences?" asked Mu Jiaojiao.

"In the first sentence, I did steal his position in the history of assassination. In the second sentence, he wants to do the history of assassination, and he is about to go crazy! In the third game, he only wants to do the history of Liangzhou assassination, and he doesn't do the history of assassination in other places. ”

"Then you're miserable. Mu Jiaojiao said.

For Zhan Sima, the position of Liangzhou Thorn is not just a higher official position, this has become an obsession for him. Now, in addition to the Liangzhou Assassin History, even if you give him a higher official position or a more generous compensation, it is useless, he wants the position of the Assassin History!

So in order to achieve this goal, he must do everything he can.

"Then let him come! What means are there to use it, I'm still afraid that he won't succeed?" Cui Pu snorted coldly, "I didn't owe him in the first place, I have already made it clear to him." If he still insists on doing so, I will naturally not be polite to him. ”

"Then you just wait for the next taste of running into walls everywhere!" Mu Jiaojiao smiled.
