Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

Two women who looked like flowers and jade were left sitting there in astonishment.

Liu Shuming was astonished: the beauty trick is useless to Zheng Xi?

This is not reasonable!

At Zheng Xi's age, he was just at the time when he was full of energy. Shouldn't he feel uncomfortable if he didn't sow a seed for a day?

Not to mention seeing two beautiful girls.

It's better to fall into it immediately, stay up all night, and toss until dawn!

But he ran away!

Liu Shuming looked at the other officials in Duli City and said with a wry smile: "Official Zheng is busy with work, so we don't want to disturb you."

Everyone didn't know what to say.

In the early morning of the second day, Zheng Xi brought people to the Yamen of the Duhu Mansion.

The Yamen of Andong Dufu was originally located in Fuzhou, but after Li Gang arrived in Liaodong, he moved to Duli City, but Jinglueshuai's mansion was placed in Fuzhou.

Not long after, Zhang Chu, the magistrate of the Protectorate's Mansion, came out and said to Zheng Xi: "Mr. Li is dealing with official business. I will take you to see Lu Qingliu."

"It's work."

On the surface, Zhang Chu respected Zheng Xigong, but in his heart he didn't think so.

He had already heard about what happened last night.

I heard that this imperial envoy from the capital did not even dare to touch women. It is said that he fled the scene in panic and shyness.

When we met today, I realized that the other party was only in his early 20s, and he was a stunned young man.

"Guan Zheng, just came to Duli City, why don't you take a good rest." Zhang Chu said with a smile, "Although this Duli City is not as good as Bianjing, it is the place where Song and Jin trade is the most frequent, but there are many beautiful women. .”

"No need, business is urgent."

"Hey, man." Zhang Chu showed the kind of smile that men understand, "Don't wrong yourself."

"Judge Zhang was really sent by Mr. Li to assist us with our work?" Zheng Xi asked bluntly.

Zhang Chu was stunned for a moment, and smiled awkwardly: "Of course, here are the copies of all the documents we interrogated Lu Qingliu before."

"Then please."

There was still a smile on Zhang Chu's face, but a trace of unhappiness had already passed by the corner of his eyes.

Local middle-level officials like Zhang Chu are very popular in the local area.

They can use means to quickly win over their own factions in the local area, forming a stable chain of governance.

The big officials in the frontier who do not hold the power of personnel, on the contrary, are more dependent on them.

Whether the policy can really be implemented does not depend on how much power Li Gang has in his hands, but on whether the lower-level officials are willing to implement it wholeheartedly.

There is an old saying in officialdom: Information is the right to execute.

Lu Qingliu was temporarily detained at home only because of his special status.

He, a businessman who has flourished in Liaodong, actually has an official background. He himself has no official position, but even a small official in Duli City knows that his status is unusual.

Even if a person like him was to be interrogated, no one would dare to offend him before he was formally convicted.

Zheng Xi followed Zhang Chu all the way in, and when he reached the backyard, he saw Lu Qingliu sitting there reading a book.

When he realized that someone was coming, he immediately stood up, ran over in a small step, and said respectfully: "Cao Min sees you, the superiors."

Lu Qingliu glanced at Zheng Xi, then looked at Zheng Xi and the outfits of the people behind Zheng Xi, and immediately recognized these people from the Imperial City Division.

It seems that the letter I wrote to Zhao Guan's family has worked. I wonder if Zhao Guan's family has noticed the tears I left in the letter?

Zhang Chu said: "Lu Qingliu, this is Zheng Guan who came from the capital, he will ask you some questions, you have to answer truthfully."

"Caomin visit Zheng Guanren! If Zheng Guanren has anything to say, just ask."

Zheng Xi looked around, then looked at Zhang Chu, and said, "Please excuse Judge Zhang to step back for now."

Zhang Chu said with a smile: "Officer Zheng, I am an official of the Dufu Mansion, and I was sent by Li Xianggong to assist you."

"Don't bother Judge Zhang. No one else is allowed to be present when the Imperial City Division is interrogating criminals." Zheng Xi looked at Zhang Chu calmly.

The smile on Zhang Chu's face froze a bit, but he forced a smile and said, "Then we won't bother you."

After speaking, Zhang Chu turned around and left with the people.

After leaving the house, the clerk on the side said: "Judge Zhang, those people don't think much of you."

"Hehe, young man, he is always self-righteous, thinking that the city of Duli is the capital!" Zhang Chu's face darkened, and his eyes were full of resentment, "If he can interrogate half a word in Duli, I'm the loser!"

At this time, someone on the side helped Zheng Xi move a chair, and Zheng Xi sat down.

Zheng Xi at this time, and the Zheng Xi who drank with Liu Shuming in the restaurant yesterday, seemed to be completely different people.

There was still a flattering smile on Lu Qingliu's face, but there was no smile on Zheng Xi's face.

He just sat there quietly, exuding an inexplicable majesty from his whole body.

This made the smile on Lu Qingliu's face slowly freeze, Lu Qingliu's heart shrank, and he quickly stood there obediently, not daring to say a word.

Zheng Xi began to read those documents carefully, and he said, "Zhu Jiancheng, deputy commander of the third battalion of the First Army of the Dragon Guards, do you know him?"

"I... I don't know." Lu Qingliu said immediately.

When Qin Hui came to the capital, Lu Qingliu gave him the handle to catch Han Shizhong.

This Zhu Jiancheng was doing business with Jinren privately, and Lu Qingliu knew it very well, how could he not know him.

But on the surface, Liu Shuming, the magistrate of the capital city, played this matter. Most people don't know that Lu Qingliu cooperated with Qin Hui to play such a game in private.

Of course, Lu Qingliu still told Gao Qiu some things, and also secretly revealed some things to Cai Mao.

"Lu Qingliu, it's very difficult for us if you don't cooperate with us like this." Zheng Xi said with a sneer, "Before I came, it was Gao Taiwei who repeatedly warned me, you know?"

However, Lu Qingliu was not immediately fooled. Although Zheng Xi was a member of the Imperial City Department, Lu Qingliu, an old fox, was no ordinary person.

He only believed in Gao Qiu, and he only told Gao Qiu about many things.

He didn't know if Zheng Xi was the person Qin Hui placed, who could say for sure?

If this Zheng Xi belongs to Qin Hui, and he inadvertently reveals all these things, can Qin Hui forgive himself?

If Qin Hui wanted to kill himself, even Zhao Guan's family would not be able to ensure his safety.

This kind of thing needs to be cautious and cautious.

"Officer Zheng, I really don't know him."

"I've read all the letters you wrote to Taiwei Gao. You said you didn't know him?"

"Here……"

Zheng Xi waved his hand, and everyone else went down and stood around, not even a fly could fly in.

Chapter 1232 Borrowing a Knife to Kill (Second Change)

Zheng Xi took out a letter and handed it to Lu Qingliu.

After reading it, Lu Qingliu realized that the person in front of him was unusual. He was Taiwei Gao's confidant.

Otherwise, Gao Lian would not have given such an important letter to this person.

To be precise, this letter was not addressed to Gao Qiu, but to Zhao Guan's family.

Lu Qingliu has a hundred reasons to believe that the Zhao family must have read this letter, that is to say, this person is also the default confidant of the Zhao family.

"It's a villain who has eyes but doesn't know Mount Tai!" Lu Qingliu immediately changed his face, and his attitude towards Zheng Xi was completely different.

A person like Lu Qingliu who survived from Zhao Ning's hands and then worked back and forth in the hands of Qin Hui, Cai Mao, and Gao Qiu is by no means comparable to ordinary people.

"Now tell me everything you know." Zheng Xi said calmly, his gaze was like the surface of an autumn lake, soft and clean, but the more he looked like this, the more Lu Qingliu felt that this young man was extraordinary.

"What does Officer Zheng want to know?"

"Why did Li Gang check you?"

Lu Qingliu sighed, adjusted the expression on his face, with three parts of helplessness, three parts of pain, three parts of desolation, and one part of loneliness.

"I'm afraid this matter is very complicated to say."

"It's okay, just speak slowly."

Lu Qingliu said seriously: "The main point of Li Gang's investigation of me is to understand my smuggling in Liaodong."

Zheng Xi didn't speak, and Lu Qingliu continued: "Li Gang thinks that I have liaison with the Jin people and pass information to the Jin people, but you know that I am the person who was placed by Gao Taiwei in Liaodong. I did do smuggling business before, but in fact it was all to spy on the enemy."

"How did Li Gang know?" Zheng Xi looked at Lu Qingliu without blinking his eyes. "Li Gang never stayed in Liaodong before. He started checking you as soon as he came. Why?"

"Maybe Zhu Jiancheng confessed to the grassroots."

"No, the Imperial City Division has read his statement. It was the official Zhao family who asked people to delete the statement about you. The matter of Zhu Jiancheng will not involve you. Li Gang has no reason to know."

"But the Anton Governor's Mansion mentioned Zhu Jiancheng many times when interrogating me."

"You mean, Li Gang checked you and thought you were related to Zhu Jiancheng?"

"Otherwise, the Anton Governor's Office would not mention Zhu Jiancheng many times."

"Impossible, let me tell you again that Zhu Jiancheng's first statement was presented to the Zhao official's family by Yang Yizhong, the military governor. Gao Taiwei heard with his own ears that Zhao's official family ordered the military governor's office to make a new statement, and the You have been erased from the first statement, and that first statement is kept in the Royal Library, and no one can enter."

Lu Qingliu said: "Officer Zheng, Zhu Jiancheng was mentioned many times in the interrogation documents of the Anton Governor's Mansion against the Caomin in your hand. How could the Caomin lie to you?"

"Caomin did have some contacts with Zhu Jiancheng. In fact, when Caomin was doing business with the Jin people, Zhu Jiancheng found Caomin. He threatened Caomin. Caomin was worried about being exposed, so he cooperated with him. Later, Qin Hui came to Liaodong to find Han Shizhong. Zhu Jiancheng was revealed by the grassroots, and these grassroots mentioned it in their letters to Taiwei Gao."

"You are Zhu Jiancheng who reported to Qin Hui. Everyone outside only knows that Liu Shuming impeached Zhu Jiancheng, but not you. Li Gang has no reason to doubt you."

"This is also where I am puzzled. The grass people have guessed for a long time but have not guessed the answer."

"Could it be that Qin Hui asked Li Gang to investigate you?" Zheng Xi asked, "Borrowing a knife to kill someone?"

"No need, Cao Min has no evidence against Qin Hui."

"I can tell you clearly that I came here this time to keep you." Zheng Xi said suddenly, "Taifu Gao will definitely not betray you, otherwise I will not come here."

"How dare the grassroots doubt Taiwei Gao."

"Is there anything else you haven't told me?" Zheng Xi's eyes were bright, and those clean eyes seemed to be able to analyze people's hearts.

"No, Caomin has absolutely nothing else to do. Caomin has said everything that Caomin can say."

"Who is Li Gang? Why did he suddenly target you when he came to Liaodong?"

"It may be that many people have heard that I am smuggling."

"Then how could he insist that you are related to Zhu Jiancheng?"

"I……"

"If you don't say it, I won't be able to keep you this time. I can only go back to the capital to report. Think about it. Now Li Gang is still investigating. If he makes this matter a big deal, will Qin Hui be worried about your actions?" I got some evidence against him, and then took the opportunity to help Li Gang and kill you?"

Lu Qingliu was so frightened that his whole body trembled.

Only then did Lu Qingliu know why Gao Lian sent this young man.

At first glance, this young man seemed a little dull, even old-fashioned.

But after communicating with him a few words, you will be shocked to find that his thinking is extremely meticulous, and his heart is as meticulous as dust.

"Actually, I even wrote a letter to someone about the situation at that time." Lu Qingliu's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he finally decided to speak.

"who?"

"Cai Mao, Mr. Cai Xianggong."

Zheng Xi's heart was shocked. He didn't expect that Cai Mao was involved in Lu Qingliu's case?

"You told him that Qin Hui ordered you to report Zhu Jiancheng?"

"Yes, I told Taiwei Gao, and I basically told him too."

"Why?"

"Cai Mao gave a lot of benefits."

Cai Mao, who is in power at the same level as Qin Hui, only needs one sentence to benefit Lu Qingliu.

"Why did Cai Mao choose you?"

"He has been looking for Qin Hui's excuses for a long time. It just so happened that I helped Qin Hui's wife smuggle in Liaodong. Because of tax evasion, I was targeted by Cao Zhangzhong, a householder in the Protectorate of Andong. It was Cai Mao who helped me settle it. Since then, his people have been in touch. fucked me."
