Chapter 67
But when Cui Ge entered Shi's house with an arrest warrant, an old servant followed him. The old servant looked old and frail, but Cui Ge faintly felt a powerful aura from the old servant, as if there was something deep in his bones. There is a huge power hidden, which makes people daunting.

This old servant is the steward of the Shi family, and usually manages the trivial matters of the Shi family, so after Cui Ge entered, there was no other person in charge of the Shi family to receive him, only one old servant.

From this, Cui Ge could see that the Shi family was really powerful, and even the people who handled the case in the government dared to neglect.But Cui Ge didn't mind, if he didn't come to pick him up, he went to find the Shi family himself.

"My lord, my master is in the ancestral hall, please wait in the main hall for a while." The old servant said unhurriedly.

Cui Ge looked at the old servant coldly. From the old servant's eyes, Cui Ge found a trace of disdain, as if he didn't take himself seriously, or he didn't fear him at all.

Cui Ge nodded, and walked straight towards the main hall, but Cui Ge was a little puzzled, this person from the Shi family who handles the case so negligently, is there no ghost in his heart?If you have ghosts in your heart, you definitely dare not neglect yourself.

But based on this alone, Cui Ge still thinks that the Shi family is very likely to be the murderer.The Shi family should be very powerful, but Cui Ge just came to Tanzhou not long ago, so I don't know how many local snakes are lying in the city of Tanzhou.

After Cui Ge brought Ju Husan to the main hall, the two sat down straight, as if they were at home.In Trigg's view, it would be impossible to keep a low profile, and the Shi family would probably neglect him even more. If he had a higher tone, the Shi family might still be wary of him.

But the old servant saw that Cui Ge was so impolite, but his expression didn't change at all, and he stood directly next to Cui Ge.

Afterwards, a maid came in with two cups of tea and put them in front of Cui Ge and Ju Husan. The teacups were gently put down, and the tea in the cups did not see any ripples. trembling.

Trigg looked up at the maid, smiled slightly at the maid, and said, "Thank you, girl."

Cui Ge felt respect for the first time at least since he entered the Shi family. This maid was very attentive, and Cui Ge could feel it.

The maid smiled and turned to leave.

Time passed bit by bit, the sky was already dark, the last ray of sunset came down, the air became more dull, making people upset, and raindrops gradually dripped from the sky, washing away the sweltering heat of Tanzhou.

But Cui Ge and Ju Husan waited for a long time at Shi's house, but they still haven't seen the head of Shi's house.

Cui Ge gradually became impatient, but he still patiently waited here.

But Naju Husan and Cuiger were a little restless sitting here.

"My lord, why don't we go, the Shi family obviously doesn't want to see us, they definitely have a guilty conscience." Ju Husan said.

At the same time, Ju Husan looked around with a pair of eyes, as if looking for something.

Cui Hong heard Ju Husan's words, sighed, stood up abruptly, looked at the old servant, and said coldly: "I'll give your master a time to burn incense, if your master still doesn't come out, then I just decided that your Shi family is indeed the murderer. Also, I want to remind you that this case is handled by me alone, so I have the final say."

As Cui Ge said, he held the Tang Dao in his hand and folded his hands, standing with his back to the old servant, his anger gradually rising.

Seeing what Cui Ge said, the old servant continued: "Your Excellency has been waiting for a long time, I will go and urge my master."

The old servant said, and left the main hall slowly.

Cui Ge looked at the back of the old servant leaving, frowned, looked at Ju Husan, and said coldly: "Clean my eyes later, help me find that sneaky man outside Ji's house." people."

Ju Hu San nodded and said, "Don't worry, sir. I recognize that person. He is from Shi Mansion. If he comes out, I will definitely recognize him."

Half a stick of incense time passed, and finally, the old servant came out with a middle-aged man in ordinary clothes. This middle-aged man was also a burly man, but his face was extremely resolute, and he looked mighty and extraordinary.

The middle-aged man appeared in the hall with a slight smile on his face. He chuckled at Cui Ge and said, "Your Excellency has been waiting for a long time. I have some things to deal with just now. I was negligent. I hope your Excellency will forgive me."

As the middle-aged man spoke, he took the first seat and motioned for Cui Ge to sit down as well.

Cui Ge looked at the middle-aged man coldly, but Cui Ge noticed that there was a golden token hanging on the man's body, and a shining subtitle was engraved on the golden token.

Cui Ge didn't know what the token represented, but Cui Ge had to pay attention to the golden token alone. Gold is the symbol of the royal family. Those who can wear the golden token are either appreciated by the emperor or recognized by the court. On errands, of course, there is another kind, which can only be worn by lower-level officials of the Tang Dynasty government, that is, people in some secret organizations of the Tang Dynasty court.

However, there were not a few such organizations in the Tang Dynasty. Whether it was the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of War, or others, there were some such organizations. The reason why such organizations appeared was mainly to deal with problems that the court could not deal with head-on.

It was only then that Cui Ge realized that this Shi family was really not simple. Cui Ge smiled and said: "Patriarch Shi is very polite, I am here today just to handle the case, no matter what the identity of Patriarch Shi is, please cooperate with my investigation , Zhang Ru, the governor, once taught me that there is no distinction between life and death when handling a case."

Cui Ge's implication is obvious, no matter what your status is, if your status is more noble than Zhang Ru, Cui Ge will turn around and leave, if not, please cooperate with the investigation obediently, otherwise Zhang Ru will personally act, Cui Ge also made it clear The relationship between myself and Zhang Ru, I am Zhang Ru's student.

After hearing Cui Ge's words, the Patriarch of the Shi Family laughed and said, "Your Excellency, just ask, you can tell me everything you know."

Although the attitude of the Patriarch of the Shi family has not changed much, there has been a slight change, at least not as arrogant as before.Sure enough, in this officialdom, it is most correct to use power to suppress talents.

These old fritters are all in the officialdom, so they are inevitably arrogant.

"Since Patriarch Shi said so, let me be blunt. All four members of the Ji family died today. According to clues provided by insiders, the Shi family and the Ji family had some grievances. A few days ago, someone saw the Shi family's Someone sneakily appeared near the Ji family, so...Patriarch Shi, I don’t know about this, can you give me an explanation?” Cui Ge said lightly, staring at the Patriarch of the Shi family with a pair of eyes. .

When the Patriarch of the Shi family heard the news of the death of the four members of the Ji family, he obviously showed a slight change, and there was a flash of joy in his eyes, but it was fleeting, and he said calmly: "Your Excellency, you mean that my Shi family did it? "
