Sima Zhuifeng looked at Ah Que angrily.

To make the decision for you? To recover the 15,000 taels of gold?

Do you know, kid, that among the corpses on the ground, there are people sent by Sima Zhuifeng. Last night, the prefect Sima Zhuifeng wanted to rob his fellow thieves!

Listening to Aque's crying, Sima Zhuifeng remained silent for a long time.

Chu Jie looked at A Que with a half-smile, holding the teacup, and glanced at Sima Zhui Feng with a smile.

Chu Jie naturally knew the whole story. The governor wanted to play a trick, destroy a group of Ling's private soldiers, and make some extra money. As a result, not only were all the private soldiers of the Ling family annihilated, but the two trusted subordinates sent by the governor and a large group of elite state soldiers were also killed.

This is a confusing matter, and there are many complicated issues involved.

If Gong Bailu had not died inexplicably here, Chu Jie would have been in a better mood and would have been in a better mood to watch the fun.

Zi Xiaosheng was already laughing so hard that he couldn't close his mouth. He covered his mouth tightly with both hands, his whole body twitching slightly, trying his best to control himself from laughing out loud. His eyes narrowed into a line, and his gaze kept wandering between Chu Jie, Sima Zhuifeng and A Que.

When Aunt Feng saw that Zi Xiaosheng was almost dying of laughter, she shook her head angrily and helplessly, quickly walked behind Zi Xiaosheng, gently stroked his back with her right hand, and finally helped him calm down.

Zi Xiaosheng suddenly put down his hands, his eyes widened, and with a slightly distorted face he smiled at Sima Zhuifeng: "Sima Taishou, you must do justice for this little brother! Hee, their wives were all taken away! Without wives, how pitiful!"

Ah Que raised her head and looked at Zi Xiaosheng deeply with tears in her eyes: "This young master is right. We fishmongers are so poor. How many years do we have to save up private money to save up 15,000 taels of gold?"

"I don't know who the bastards are. They came to rob us last night with knives and guns! Fortunately, our boss was smart and ran away with us brothers! If we hadn't run fast, we brothers would have been killed by the dead ghosts here!"

"Not only do they rob people of their money, they also kill people. These guys don't even have the moral code of the underworld!" Ah Que pointed at the corpse on the ground and said viciously: "Sir Governor, we must find out who is behind them and recover our gold!"

His thin lips moved swiftly as he told everyone the story of how hundreds of burly men had robbed people on the road last night and how they had fled in panic.

In short, according to Ah Que's story, they had already fled when the first batch of robbers appeared last night. As for what happened afterwards, they didn't know, didn't see, and had no idea what happened last night.

Sima Zhuifeng took a deep breath and looked at Aque with a bit of annoyance.

Was last night complicated?

It’s really not complicated.

Ling wanted to use the excuse of "robbery" to kill Chu Tian and his group to vent his anger on Zhou Liuyun, and at the same time take back the gold they used to buy the golden-scaled carp.

Sima Zhuifeng dispatched the state troops, intending to wipe out Ling's private army in one fell swoop, to give Zhou Liuyun a warning, and at the same time to scare all the wealthy families in Qizhou and warn them not to have anything to do with Zhou Liuyun.

By the way, Sima Zhuifeng could also make some unexpected money to subsidize the food and drink expenses of his prefectural government.

How simple is this?

The trouble is that an unidentified person has taken action.

A master who was suspected to be at the level of "Heavenly Lord", with an unknown armed force, wiped out the private army of the Ling family, the state soldiers of Sima Taishou, and more than a dozen guards sent by wealthy families who were tempted by the wealth.

Incidentally, this master who was suspected to be at the "Heavenly Monarch" level also killed Gong Bailu, the worshiper who was sent by the Chu family to gather information!

The key to this case is to find the master of the "Tianjun" level, or find his subordinates.

This case is really not complicated. Among the three people sitting around the tea table, two of them understand the cause and effect of the case.

But neither Chu Jie nor Sima Zhuifeng could nor were willing to tell the truth they knew.

After pondering for a long time, Sima Zhuifeng waved his hand and shouted at Ah Que: "This case is accepted by this prefect. This case is simple and clear. It is another bloody murder committed by the bandits of Zhen Sanzhou. The gold in your family was also robbed by that group of bandits."

Ah Que blinked his eyes, with a hint of fear, a hint of shock, and a hint of disbelief, and looked at Sima Zhuifeng with tears on his face. He seemed to have been shocked and frightened by the fact Sima Zhuifeng said!

"I am honored to be the governor of Qizhou, and it is my duty to defend the land and protect the people. That big bandit who controls the three states dared to invade the territory of Qizhou and committed such a bloody crime. As the governor, I will certainly not let them off!" Sima Zhuifeng stood up, put his hands behind his back, and put on an extremely majestic and angry face. An inexplicable aura turned into a heavy pressure, weighing heavily on everyone around him.

Ah Que seemed unable to bear the pressure from Sima Zhuifeng. He fell to the ground with his forehead pressed firmly against the ground. "Then, Lord Governor, where is our gold?"

Sima Zhuifeng looked at Ah Que with disgust, just like a dragon soaring in the sky looking down at a pile of dog shit on the ground, and said, "After we wipe out the giant bandits in Zhensan Mountain and confiscate their stolen goods, we will have a say over the gold that was robbed from you."

With a wave of his sleeves, a gust of wind swept in close to the ground, lifted up Ah Que's thin body, and blew him back seven or eight feet away: "There is nothing for you to do here, go back and have a good rest! As a witness in the case, you are not allowed to leave the territory of Qizhou before this case is solved, do you understand?"

Ah Que raised his head and was about to say something, but several guards from the prefectural government came at him with sticks and started beating him, making Ah Que scream in pain and run away in panic, covering his head.

"You ignorant people only care about those little things, but you don't know that the big bandit who controls the three states has actually invaded Qizhou. This is the real important matter." Sima Zhuifeng sighed with compassion, turned around and bowed solemnly to Chu Jie: "Young Master Chu, I'm afraid that Young Master Chu will need your cooperation in this case."

Chu Jie played with the teacup in his hand for a long time before he slowly nodded: "This is about the death of the palace attendant. This matter is our Chu family's duty."

Zi Xiaosheng, who was standing by, twirled the big ring on his finger deftly, and asked with a smile, "But, Young Master Chu, Governor Sima, this case was clearly committed by the bandits from Zhen Sanzhou. Why don't you lead the army to wipe out these fierce bandits?"

Chu Jie and Sima Zhuifeng paused at the same time. They looked at each other, then looked at Zi Xiaosheng at the same time, and cursed in their hearts.

Is this Zi Xiaosheng really stupid, or is he deliberately causing trouble?

Suddenly, a dull sound of hooves came from the direction of Qizhou City. A large group of officials from the Supreme Court, dressed in black and wearing bright red cloaks, with gloomy faces, rode wildly towards them under the leadership of Zhou Liuyun.

"Get out of here!" Zhou Liuyun roared and swung the whip in his hand hard. The two centurions of the state soldiers who wanted to stop him flew out in a spin.

Chu Jie and Sima Zhuifeng's faces suddenly turned pale as they watched Zhou Liuyun and a large group of people rushing past them.

Countless pieces of smoke and dust flew up, scattered on the tea table and fell into the teacup.

Zi Xiaosheng stared blankly at the dust in the teacup, then suddenly raised his head and called out with a smile: "Hey, Brother Zhou? Hey? Brother Zhou? Why are you running so fast? Is there a dead person?"
