Chapter 152 Wu Jun Situation (9)

Wu Jun, Governor's Mansion.

After knowing that the noble families of Wu Jun had come to the Governor's Mansion, Zhao Lei sneered, thinking in his heart that he was going to trouble these noble families.They came uninvited, and delivered it to their door.So, Zhao Lei walked into the hall with Wang Yue and a team of counselors.Go and "entertain" these aristocratic families.

Liu Da, Guan Gang, Zhang Lei and the others waited for a while in the lobby of the Governor's Mansion when they heard the sound of footsteps coming from the corridor outside the lobby.

After a while, Zhao Lei slowly approached the hall with everyone in his hands.Then Zhao Lei went straight to the top seat in the hall and sat down.

"Cao Min waits to see the governor." Liu Da, Guan Gang, Zhang Lei and others saw Zhao Lei stepping into the hall and sitting upright, and they all bowed to Zhao Lei and bowed.

Zhao Lei hummed, nodded, and said, "Patriarchs, please sit down."

"Thank you, my lord." Liu Da, Guan Gang, Zhang Lei and others bowed their hands to Zhao Lei again to express their gratitude.In Zhao Lei's eyes, their words and deeds just now seemed a little strange and inexplicable.Because on the way to the hall just now, Zhao Lei also heard the servants in the mansion say that Liu Da, Guan Gang, Zhang Lei and others rushed to the hall aggressively in front of them, their arrogance was extremely arrogant, and they entered the governor's mansion as if entering their own home .But now he is acting so humble and respectful, it seems that there is a lot of tricks hidden in it.

However, Zhao Lei thought about it again. It is obvious that he has the upper hand in the current situation, while Liu Da, Guan Gang, Zhang Lei and others have spent all their wealth and debts, and they are completely incomparable with him.

Therefore, Zhao Lei didn't need to say anything at all, he just needed to sit safely in the hall, wait for Liu Da, Guan Gang, Zhang Lei and others to take the lead in launching the attack, and then adapt himself to the situation.Therefore, with a faint smile on Zhao Lei's face, he asked with a smile: "What's wrong with my governor's mansion today? So many great gods have come, it really makes me flourish! Master Liu, Master Guan, Master Zhang, Also, the Patriarchs of Wu County suddenly visited the governor's mansion today. Could it be that they have grievances and want to appeal to me? Don't worry, as the governor, I will handle the case impartially. Besides, you have made so much contribution to Wu County over the years. I will definitely help you." After Zhao Lei finished speaking, he smiled

Guan Gang shook his head, Liu Da followed suit, but Zhang Lei didn't understand what Zhao Lei was talking about.All three of them were stunned by Zhao Lei's question, and a trace of surprise flashed in their eyes.

If it was normal, Zhao Lei would definitely ask: "What's the matter?" Such words.

At this time, Zhao Lei asked a nonsensical question, which also made the two of them feel bad, but when Zhao Lei asked, the three of them could only shake their heads and deny Zhao Lei's words.

Before Liu Da, Guan Gang, and Zhang Lei could speak, Zhao Lei asked again: "Is it not a grievance? Well, let me think about it again." After speaking, Zhao Lei pretended to be contemplative.

"This..." Zhao Lei sighed for a long time, and continued to say with a smile: "I don't know what will happen to you except for grievances. Patriarch Liu, Patriarch Guan, Patriarch Zhang, and the Patriarchs of Wu Jun are all affairs. A big man who is busy and sees his head and tail all day long, came to this small temple of mine today, what will happen?" Zhao Lei asked unhurriedly at this time.

Seeing Zhao Lei's tricks again and again, Guan Gang immediately said: "Lord Inspector, we are here..."

As soon as Guan Gang said it, Zhao Lei interrupted him again: "Well, Patriarch Guan, don't worry, let me continue to guess."

However, Zhao Lei was silent for a long time, but still did not speak.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, everyone looked at each other, and immediately understood that they were unfriendly comers, but Zhao Lei was not an easy-going lamp either.Both sides have their own plans, Liu Da, Guan Gang, Zhang Lei and others wanted to express their intentions, but Zhao Lei always had a smiling face, making it impossible for Liu Da, Guan Gang, and Zhang Lei to speak out.

At this time, Guan Gang couldn't stand Zhao Lei's hypocritical face anymore.

His previously smiling expression immediately turned into a cold expression, and he ignored Zhao Lei's pretending to be stupid, but said directly to Zhao Lei: "Master Inspector, we are here today for the sake of the Lord Inspector's mansion." The Jianye businessman has come, hoping that the Lord will hand him over to us."

Finally got to the point.

Zhao Lei raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile, "Why?"

Guan Gang said: "My lord, the governor, builds a business for profit, without virtue and righteousness. The servants he brought are all crooks. When such people came to Wu County, the grain price in Wu County skyrocketed." , disturbed the lives of the people. What is even more hateful is that the people in the city can't afford to eat. All these tragedies were done by the builder alone. Lord Inspector can hand over the builder."

After hearing this, Zhao Lei couldn't help laughing, and secretly scolded these idiots in his heart.

He pointed at Guan Gang and the others, and asked, "You guys want to do justice for the heavens?"

"Well, it's us."

Liu Da, Guan Gang, and Zhang Lei nodded at the same time, their eyes flickering, revealing a look of anticipation.

Hearing this, Zhao Lei was silent for a moment, and continued to ask: "Master Liu, Master Guan, and Master Zhang, I heard that the words about doing justice for the heavens are said by some knight-errants, or bandit kings in the cottage. If you say such a thing, are you planning to become a bandit? Or are you planning to wander around the rivers and lakes with a knife in your hand?"

When speaking, Zhao Lei looked sincere, and at the same time, there was a trace of curiosity in his eyes.

However, when the words reached Guan Gang and the others, it was like being struck by lightning.This is simply a living mockery.The meaning of this sentence is tantamount to degrading them from the status of aristocrats to the status of bandits and untouchables.

"Besides, it seems that these grains are in your home! It seems that you are hoarding the grain and grass now, so that the people are not allowed to eat?" Zhao Lei asked again.

In an instant, Guan Gang stood up from his seat and said loudly to Zhao Lei: "Lord Inspector, we are here today, not to talk about other things with you, just to ask you to hand over the builder. Your lord is also smart. People, don't pretend to be stupid and insult our wisdom, you waste time like this, it doesn't make any sense at all, why bother?"

"Hahaha~hahaha, really shameless." Zhao Lei laughed again and again, and the smile on his face froze, replaced by an indifferent expression.

Then, Zhao Lei paused word by word, and said in a slow voice: "Patriarch Guan is so bold, so I just said it straight, the builder was invited by the governor, and you have lost your family wealth because of hoarding food, so you are making trouble at the governor's mansion for no reason." , I want the governor to hand over the builder, so that you can rob the builder of his money, so ambitious. Hmph, the governor tells you that this is impossible."

"And it's absolutely impossible, there's no room for negotiation." Zhao Lei said straight to death.

Zhang Han smiled when he heard it. This sentence was equivalent to indirectly forcing them to a dead end, and then Zhang Han gave Zhao Lei a positive look.

After the words fell, Zhao Lei's eyes were like knives, and he glanced at the heads of several families sitting in the hall.After a pause, Zhao Lei continued: "Except for Patriarch Guan, Patriarch Liu, and Patriarch Zhang, I don't have any impression of the patriarchs present here, and I don't know any of them, so please introduce yourself."

In a word, Guan Gang, Liu Da, and Zhang Lei were ignored in an instant.

The patriarchs were also very afraid of Zhao Lei, so they ignored the three of them and stood up.

"Wen Bo, head of the Wen Family, pay homage to Lord Inspector," Wen Bo said.

"Sun You, the Patriarch of the Sun Family, I pay my respects to the Inspector." Sun You said.

"Xue Shao, the Patriarch of the Xue family, I pay my respects to Lord Inspector." Xue Shao said.

"Murray, the head of the Mu family, pay your respects to Lord Inspector," Murray said.

"Lu Fan, Patriarch of the Lu Family, I pay my respects to Lord Inspector," Lu Fan said.

Lu Fan?Zhao Lei glanced at Lu Fan.The story of Lu Fan and Sun Quan still had an impression in his mind.

The story goes something like this:

When Sun Quan was young, like other playboys, there were many confidantes around him who would play tricks and play with him all day long.Eating, drinking and playing like this every day, the pocket money given by the family is naturally not enough.Without money, our wandering life will lose its support.The confidantes under his command were also worried about the master, and one of them suggested to Sun Quan, saying: "Why don't you borrow some money from the minister in charge of finance? Who are you? Those people are probably dreaming of finding a chance to curry favor with you. As soon as you open your mouth, they will immediately donate a lot of gold and silver." Sun Quan heard this, turned around and ran to the "Ministry of Finance".

The minister in charge of finance was named Lu Fan. Hearing Sun Quan's intention, he bowed deeply and said: "There is money, and you can spend it if you want, but you must follow the procedures. You write a report first, and then I will find you Brother, give me approval, and I will pay as much as you want. If there is no instruction, I will not dare to take a penny, please forgive me." Asking brother Sun Ce for money, isn't it asking for scolding?Sun Quan hit a soft nail and walked away dejectedly.In a fit of anger, Sun Quan uttered harsh words, and when he took power, he would definitely kill Lu Fan.Someone passed this word to Lu Fan, and Lu Fan was not afraid at all, and smiled slightly, still a stubborn rooster.

After two years, Sun Ce intends to train Sun Quan and let him act as the magistrate of Yangxian County.With the right to spend money, it is naturally much more convenient. Sun Quan, who does not change his dandyism, will inevitably use public funds for private purposes.Unexpectedly, one day, Sun Ce suddenly ordered an audit of the expenditures of all officials.Sun Quan's brow was sweating. Fortunately, there was a confidant named Zhou Gu who was quick-witted and had many methods. He worked day and night to make fake accounts, and he got away with it, so Sun Quan escaped a punishment.Satisfied, Sun Quan patted Zhou Gu on the shoulder and said, "After I take power, you will manage the money for me." Zhou Gu thanked him repeatedly.

After Sun Quan ruled the country, in his new position, he had a new perspective to understand the problem.Sun Quan found that Lu Fan, who had once rejected his stubbornness, made people feel that he was loyal and reliable; while Zhou Gu, who had once shown loyalty, made himself very uneasy.Sun Quan, who did not lose his reason, finally reused Lu Fan and dismissed Zhou Gu.
