The bustle at the entrance of the mansion was taken away by Cui Pu in a blink of an eye.

When the people heard this, they turned their heads, and saw a group of men galloping from the city gate on fast horses. Behind them, more than 20 tall Qiang people were wearing shackles and being strung like grasshoppers by a rope, and they were moving forward step by step. Behind this group of people, more than a dozen cars and horses were driven forward slowly.

"That's our car! the one that was stolen by the bandits!" shouted the caravan man as he pointed abruptly.

Zhan Sima and Liu Zhifu's faces both changed drastically.

Look over there, in this team of people, a middle-aged man sits upright on a dark horse, he has a tall posture, a good bearing, and a face that is extremely good. Even though he was followed by many sturdy and brave soldiers in armor, but when he was mixed with these people, he was not suppressed at all, but was even more set off by this group of people - to put it bluntly, thanks to his good face and his outfit, he was sassy enough!

There was another whisper in my ears from the people—

"Who's the one at the front?"

"Don't you know? That's the new Cui Tingshi, who promised to solve the case within a month!"

"This is Cui Tingshi, he was born so well, he is magnificent, and he knows that he is not an extraordinary person at a glance. ”

"Yes, yes, the month he promised, just one month. It's really good to be able to make such a result in such a short time after coming to Liangzhou!"

"Cui Tingshi is too powerful!"

......

But in the blink of an eye, the direction of the wind changed. The person who was still cursing Cui Pu with you and me immediately changed his words, and he was almost lifted to the sky.

As for the two at the door of the palace...... There is a bigger buzz to watch, who cares about them?

The merchants were the first to chase after them, and the people also followed Hula to catch up with Cui Pu and his party.

And just when he passed by the entrance of the mansion, Cui Pu, who had been raising his eyes and looking straight ahead, suddenly turned his head and raised the corners of his lips to this side.

Although it was only a momentary effort, Zhan Sima and Liu Zhifu both felt a chill rush out of the soles of their feet, spreading throughout their bodies in an instant. Even when the sun was shining overhead, they couldn't detect the slightest warmth.

The procession walked down the street with its head held high, and soon disappeared. Naturally, the people watching the excitement also chased after them, spontaneously forming a long tail and embellishing it behind.

Governor Liu looked at the crowd in the distance, and couldn't help but whisper, "Sima, what should we do now?"

Zhan Sima's face was calm: "Since the assassin has already caught the bandits, it means that we have done this thing! This is a great thing, and we naturally want to go over to congratulate Cui Tingshi." ”

"But ......"

"What's wrong? What did we do wrong?" said Zhan Sima.

Governor Liu suddenly understood, and hurriedly shook his head and said, "Of course not! This month, we have all been doing our best, and we have not slackened for a moment!"

"That's enough. At least I have a clear conscience. Zhan Sima said slowly.

Governor Liu also hurriedly raised his chest high: "I'm the same as you, Sima, I have a clear conscience!"

The two of them were doing psychological construction on their own, and a soldier dressed in military uniforms came over: "Zhan Sima, Governor Liu, Cui Tingshi's subordinates come over and invite you over." ”

"Thank you, we were just going to go over!" Zhan Sima immediately raised a smile, still so honest and friendly.

When the two of them came to the gate of the Assassin's Mansion, they saw that it was already full of people on the inside and outside of the three floors. It turned out that after Cui Pu and his family arrived at their destination, they did not directly detain the arrested bandits, but displayed both people and trucks at the gate for the people to visit.

This is clearly to inform everyone - they have solved the case with real facts, and it is not adulterated at all!

Realizing this, Zhan Sima, Liu Zhifu and the people who came after all chuckled in their hearts!

They squeezed forward with a lot of effort, and saw that the leader of the caravan who had been angry at them before was now nodding to Cui Pu, and smashing out baskets of good words as if they didn't want money. That gesture, not to mention how humble.

Cui Pu half-squinted, and ignored their overtures. After a few more words, he waved his hand and called his men to come and deal with it.

Seeing this, the caravan's leader's face changed slightly, but he was not too angry. After all, the bandits were caught, the goods were recovered, and their losses were effectively compensated. Cui Pu is a great hero and an official, is he still not allowed to be dragged by others?

Zhan Sima hurriedly raised a smile and walked over: "You are really talented in the history of assassination! In just one month, you have solved the case, and all of us are proud of you! You have made great contributions in this matter, and we will definitely learn more from you in the future, and I hope you will give us advice and lead all of us to grow up as soon as possible, so that the people of Liangzhou can live a stable and prosperous life like the people of Guangzhou!"

Hehe, a game has just been broken, and he has started to set up a game for him again? and a bigger game!

Cui Pu glanced at him coldly: "Zhan Sima, you came just in time, this mansion just has something to ask you!"

Zhan Sima bowed his head respectfully. "Cui Tingshi, please speak. ”

"I heard that because there has been no progress in the case in the past month, you ran to the door of the government office and bowed your head to admit your mistake?"

Zhan Sima's back stiffened. "Assassin Shi, you listen to the lower official's explanation, there is a reason for this matter......

"Whatever the reason. Ben Shi Shi just wants to ask you, since it is said that it is the period of January, then today is the last day of the month, and the time has not yet come, why do you want to admit your mistakes? This Assassin Shi Bu has been in the bureau for a month, just waiting for the net to be closed today, looking for help everywhere, but you are good, you don't do anything right, but you run to admit your mistakes? Are you so impatient to let the people know that the people in our Liangzhou government are all straw bales, and they can't even solve a single case?" Cui Pu coldly interrupted him.

Every word was pierced into Zhan Sima's drooping back like a knife, so that he couldn't straighten his waist at all.

When the people heard this, they also nodded their heads one after another: "That's it, it's not a month yet! Assassin Shi hasn't given up, why did he give up? I have never seen such a person who has been so ambitious to destroy his prestige!"

Seeing that the situation was not right, Governor Liu hurriedly interjected: "Please forgive me Cui Tingshi! Zhan Sima's efforts these days are in everyone's eyes, and he is also thinking about the stability of Liangzhou." It's just that it's the last day today, but you haven't given any reply for a long time, and everyone is in a hurry. The subordinate officials were small and could not appease the people in the caravan, so they went to ask Zhan Sima to help. ”

"You are a prefect, and you can't appease a few businessmen?" Cui Pu sneered, "Governor Liu, Governor Liu, do you know how many merchants there are in the entire Liangzhou? How many things will happen in a year? As a prefect of a place, how many things do you have to be busy? As a result, now, just because a few businessmen come to the door, you can't resist? Since you admit that you have no ability, you don't have to be the prefect in this assassin's history!"

Governor Liu's hands and feet, which were already cold, suddenly froze, and the whole person stood motionless like an ice sculpture.

Zhan Sima was also taken aback by Cui Pu's words. He originally thought that Cui Pu's anger would come at him, but he never thought that he would shoot indiscriminately, and now he has directly dismissed the officials of Governor Liu's mansion!

Governor Liu was his staunchest ally. Now most of this matter is done by the two of them together. If Governor Liu is dismissed, others will see that he is useless and can't protect himself. Who will listen to him after that?

Therefore, he must protect the Liu Governor's Mansion!

With a decision in his heart, he hurriedly said: "Cui Tingshi, please calm your anger! As a parent official in Liangzhou, Governor Liu has already served in Liangzhou for many years, and his political achievements are remarkable, and he is deeply loved by the people. Now this case is really special, that's why he ...... The reason for this, you should also be clear about Cui Tingshi. ”

The implication is that Governor Liu bowed his head to those people because of the pressure from Chang'an, not that he was incompetent. By the way, he also secretly dug a pit for Cui Pu - the reason why you solved the case so quickly may also be due to the affection of the nobles over there in Chang'an!

Cui Pu sneered: "No matter how special the case is, it is not a reason for the imperial court officials to leave everything they should do to grovel to the common people. The government does things, and occasionally it hurts the feelings of some people. But as long as it turns out in the end that you are for the good of the people, the people will understand you in the end and be grateful to you. It's just a few words of scolding for a while, and it's over after putting up with it. If you don't believe it, ask Master Lu, does he still hate the incompetence of our Liangzhou government?"

Master Lu, that is, the leader of the caravan, hurriedly shook his head: "Where are you incompetent? You are simply too capable, okay? Seeing that the case has not progressed for a long time, we are anxious, so we will naturally come to the door and say some unpleasant things, but this is also human nature! Now that the case has been solved, we also know that we were too anxious before, so I will admit my mistake to you!"

With that, he bowed.

With this bow, he blocked the words sent by Zhan Sima before.

Zhan Sima secretly clenched his fists.

He didn't expect that this young man could say so much, and he could play this trick so slippery!

Gritting his teeth, he simply lifted his robe and knelt down: "Today's matter, Governor Liu is indeed at fault, and it is natural for you to punish him." However, in addition to him, there were also lower officials who confessed their mistakes at the gate of the government. The subordinate knows that his ability is shallow, and he can't share your worries and work for the assassination, but he almost dragged you back, and the subordinate is also at fault. In this case, the lower officials are willing to be guilty of the same crime as Governor Liu, please stab Shi and punish you!"

Cui Pu lowered his eyes and looked at the person who was further persecuting him, and a trace of coldness appeared on the corners of his lips.

He keeps saying that he is wrong, but he is not guilty. But in the end, Cui Pu was asked to punish him for his crimes, and he was guilty of the same crime as Governor Liu! This is a declaration - you have the ability to dismiss us all!

This is intended to tie two people together, and if you want to move, you can move both of them together, or you don't move either.

If the prefect and Sima are pulled out in one go, it will inevitably cause turmoil in the officialdom of Liangzhou. And he really can't find any suitable people to replace these two positions in the short term.

That's what Zhan Sima relied on, right?

As soon as these words came out, the whole scene fell silent.

The lower-ranking officials in the back had already knelt down, and they didn't dare to say a word one by one.

Silence means that you are on their side, right?

Cui Pu smiled lightly: "Ben Thorn Shi has always heard that Zhan Sima is a good person, and Ben Thorn Shi also agrees." But today, Ben Thorn knows how good you are. Look at what you're doing right now, what's the difference between you and a girl? I've only seen women share food and clothing together, and now what you're doing has opened my eyes!"

Zhan Sima's face turned red, and his body became more and more stiff. Even Governor Liu was so ashamed that he couldn't dig a hole in the ground.

Two dignified men were actually compared to women, and this humiliation was even worse than before!

It seems that Zhan Sima didn't plan to let Cui Pu go, and Cui Pu didn't plan to let him go, and now the two of them are on the bar in public!

Just thinking about it, I heard Cui Pu laugh again: "That's it, this assassin is just looking at the things you have done to make trouble, and deliberately scare and scare you." Who knows, you still take it seriously! Forget it, since it's all in the past, it's all over. Governor Liu, Zhan Sima, go back! First sort out the matter at hand, and tomorrow we will try this case together. ”

If you let them go at this time, the humiliation will go to the next level. It's as if they've recognized the accusation that they're!

Governor Liu was not convinced, so he raised his head to defend himself. However, he raised his head, but Cui Pu had already turned around: "I went out before dawn today, and I ran around for most of the day, and I was tired of this assassination, so I rested first! These bandits and trucks, and then show them for half a day, and then they will receive where they should go!"

Then he waved his hand, raised his foot, and walked away.

The posture is becoming more and more arrogant.

But now, he does have arrogant capital.

Zhan Sima secretly gritted his teeth, and his face had turned iron-blue.

And at this time, Cui Pu suddenly turned back again.

"By the way, Zhan Sima, there is another sentence that I forgot to tell you in this assassin's history - in the future, don't do those things in the name of the assassin's mansion. Besides, if Ben Assassin is really incompetent, Ben Assassin will admit it. You don't need others to help Ben Assassin admit his mistakes, this Assassin History is not uncommon!"

After saying this, he smiled again: "Moreover, the facts have also proved that Ben Thorn Shi is much more capable than some people, isn't it?"

Then, he finally turned around and strode away.

Leaving Zhan Sima kneeling in place, being looked at thoughtfully by everyone, an old face completely fell to the ground.
