    There was a bad incident of assassinating the lord in the area under his jurisdiction, and Zhuge Jinyi, the prefect, said something to relieve Jiao Jiao from responsibility.

    Sun Ce's interest was immediately aroused: "It stands to reason that Zhuge Jin can't protect himself at this time, so he can let this person, who should be regarded as an upright prefect, still wholeheartedly defend him in such a situation that is unfavorable to him.

    He shouldn¡¯t be some treacherous and evil person who deserves to be killed!  But before, it was clear that many passers-by had strong complaints against the Jiao family. What was going on?  Ordinarily, a person who is so unpopular must not be a good person!  "

    Sun Ce, who was still a little angry in his heart, naturally would not let the possible sinner off easily.

    He sneered without a trace of a smile on his face and said: "Haha! Lord Shou, are you saying that I have wronged a good person? Well, it seems that you are very honest and fair, so I will leave this case to you, the Governor! I hope you can give me some advice.  A good explanation from the Governor!"

    At this time, Sun Ce's tone became cold and distant, if Zhuge Jin could not come up with a reasonable result.  I'm afraid that not only will he not be able to protect the Jiao family, but he will also be punished jointly and severally, and his position as governor will be in jeopardy.

    ¡°However, while a crisis is dangerous, it is also an opportunity.  Zhuge Jin kept his second brother's instructions in mind, and no matter how frightened he was, he must persist to the end.  After all, he still had confidence in Jiao Jiao's personal character.

    What¡¯s more, this situation does not allow him to back down any longer: ¡°Yes! Lord Governor!¡±

    Having been a prefect in Kuaiji for several years, he has a basic understanding of various situations in the Jiao family.  Zhuge Jin did not directly interrogate the leader of the big palm whip, but directly started his interrogation with the ordinary guys who followed.

    Although these people have all served as soldiers, they have killed people without hesitation.  But in today's situation, no one knew that things were going to be big this time.  Most of the brothers died in such a simple way, no need to ask whether the Jiao family hit a real iron plate this time.

    All the guys of the Jiao family are now worried that they will affect their own master.  Before Zhuge Jin was about to torture him, the guys had already confessed one after another.

    Seeing that the prefect was still questioning other brothers, a strong but shrewd man shouted impatiently: "My lords, this matter is just a whim of the brothers. On behalf of my master, I asked this refugee family for a demand that I have not paid for three years."  It¡¯s just over a penny of land rent!

    This piece of melon land belongs to my father, we are just here to pay the land rent.  If he fails to pay, we will take back the land and prepare it for the brothers to cultivate it themselves. Is this wrong?

    ¡°Besides, my brothers never thought about hurting anyone in the melon field. They just wanted to help my master take back the land.  But they picked up sharp weapons and injured several of our brothers. Can't the brothers resist?  "

    There are actually people who want to beat him up. Sun Ce and Zhou Yu looked at each other.  They all felt helpless and wanted to laugh.  If someone else comes to file such a lawsuit, and this kid fights back in a reckless manner, he might really be able to rely on the power of the Jiao family to come back.

    As refugees, the three Bu Zhao brothers and sisters have no power, no power, and no wealth. There is really no way they can do it.  But this time they fell into the hands of Sun Ce, the governor of Jiangnan. How could the Jiao family have any room to stand up!

    " Zhuge Jin, who has been extremely experienced in handling various cases in the past three years, of course also understands the key to the problem and is not influenced by the meaning of this man's words.

    Instead, he turned around and asked Bu Zhi and Wei Jing, who were lying aside and listening: "Do you two sufferers have any objection to what this person just said?"

    If Bu Zhao hadn't stopped him with his eyes, Wei Jing, who had been bored for a long time, would have shouted and retorted.  When Wei Jing heard the prefect's question, he felt even more resentful that he couldn't stand up after being beaten by these evil servants.

    Knowing that even the Governor of Jiangnan was now on his side, he immediately responded confidently: "They are talking nonsense! Last year, Brother Bu and I went to Jiaojiazhuang several times and visited the head of the Jiaojiazhuang. He is  We agreed to plant melons here!"

    The shrewd man's eyes flashed and he sneered: "You are talking nonsense! The head of my family once served as the Zhengqiang Order and made countless meritorious service for the court. Even if he returns to Kuaiji, General Oh! The head of the family is also a talented person and has great wealth.  thick.

    How could the brothers not know what his temper is like after following him for many years?  How come you, low-status refugees, go to Jiaojiazhuang to ask for a meeting with the head of my family?  You are just talking nonsense and dreaming!

    The head of my family has many things to do every day, and he is busy entertaining colleagues and friends from scholarly families every day.  I'm afraid the head of my family won't even let you in!  Don't you think that vulgar people like you are worthy of talking to my master who talks about poetry and painting!  "

    Before the man stopped speaking, the expressions of Wei Jing and Bu Zhi changed instantly.  What this guy said was actually quite right. Last yearWhen the two went to see Jiao Jiao and wanted to negotiate with him about renting land, they didn't see him at all for the first and second time.

    The third time, the two were reluctantly admitted to the door after bringing a large number of fresh fruits that had just ripened as gifts.

    But Jiao Jiao, who was arrogant by nature and claimed to be knowledgeable, looked down on the two melon-growing refugees at all.

    In the view of Jiao Jiao, who was the leader of the Qiang expedition, only the young masters and young masters from scholarly families who were higher in status than himself, or at least on equal footing with him, and who had outstanding literary talent, were qualified to gather with him and sit down and talk about Taoism.

    Rather than these two rude melon farmers, Bu Zhao and Wei Jing were placed with the servants at that time, and were sent out of the house without stopping after having lunch.  The matter of renting land has not been finalized at all.  Maybe Jiao Jiao didn't care about the small money he got from renting the land, or maybe he didn't want to meet these two vulgar farmers like Bu Zhi at all.

    Bu Zhi, who was equally depressed, originally wanted to see Jiao Jiao again.  When he was about to get a clear result, he was stopped by Wei Jing, who was deeply embarrassed and did not want to go to Jiao's house to lose face again.

    Bu Zhi also thought that he was only going to plant more melons this year and left Kuaiji.  At most, I can become an official in the future and repay this generous landlord even though it is difficult to speak.

    After all, Jiao Jiao did not say he agreed, nor did he object at all, and gave the melon land to the two of them to cultivate.  But no one would have thought that this might be a trap or a disaster.

    Wei Jing said angrily: "You, your head of the family are simply a shameless person. You actually planned to harm us a long time ago! You actually want to steal my little girl as a concubine. You are really despicable!"

    "Harming you? Huh! You deserve it!" The shrewd man was trying to clear up the blame for his family head, and of course he would not let Wei Jing talk nonsense.

    He responded mercilessly: "Master, he has never seen your little sister at all, so how could he plan on you so early. This time, my big palm whip was just confused for a moment, inciting the brothers to take it from you.  Just some land rent!

    Who knew you not only refused to pay rent but also dared to kill your brothers¡¯ horses!  Are there such unreasonable and bad tenants as you in this world?  Even so, brothers just knocked you out and didn't kill you!

    ¡°In fact, even if the Governor doesn¡¯t save your little sister, the brothers¡¯ riding skills can still avoid her and lift her on horseback.

    The shrewd man's well-founded words left Wei Jing speechless.  Bu Zhi also felt wronged, his face kept changing from green to red, and he also felt a little speechless.  You must be cultivating other people's land without their consent.

    ?????????????????????????? is only for three years. Although I have already decided to repay the Jiao family in the future, the Jiao family does not know about it!  His servants were racing horses in the melon fields. Although it was indeed excessive and should be punished by the government.

    But it can be said that people are just riding horses in their own wasteland, and who can interfere.  What's more, in anger, Wei Jing killed the opponent's horse first, causing several people to die under the horse's hooves.

    With Sun Ce¡¯s intervention later, the governor¡¯s guards shot and killed so many coachmen of the Jiao family without mercy.  This time the case really turned into a mess.  Regardless of the outcome, the Jiao family will definitely suffer a big loss this time.

    He glanced around quickly and calmly, seeing the wonderful expressions of everyone in the hall.  Zhuge Jin knew that Bu Zhi and Wei Jing also knew that they were wronged.  The smart Zhuge Jin didn't ask any more questions.

    Instead, he sternly scolded the man from the Jiao family: "Huh! You're such a cunning person, you're really trying to make excuses! Are you destroying fields, hurting people, and assassinating the Governor all a lie? What can you say?  Make a splash!

    ¡°At least two assassins jumped out from the crowd of your Jiao family and participated in the assassination of the Governor!  How can you quibble!  "

    Such an obvious reminder question made both Sun Ce and Zhou Yu shake their heads helplessly.  It seems that the relationship between Zhuge Jin and Jiao Jiao's family is really good.  Only then did he try to save it.

    It was because he knew very well that these assassins were sent by Cao Cao to touch the gold, that Sun Ce did not directly explode.  He was really curious as to what direction these two people, an officer and a thief, could take the case in by asking and answering questions.

    Just by saying a few words like this, the head of the Jiao family has already stayed out of the matter.  Will you continue to tell me that all of this has become a trap designed by the Bu Zhi brothers and sisters to assassinate the Governor.  Sun Ce turned his head in amusement and glanced at Bu Lianshi who was sitting quietly in the hall.

    The shrewd man from the Jiao family would not understand the meaning of the prefect: "My lords! If my brothers had such skills, how could my master just carry out a small conquest of the Qiang! He would not have brought him with him so early.  The brothers are back home!

    If soWhile he is still in the army, I am afraid that my master can at least become the governor of one of the counties in the North.  If you have better luck, you might even be the state pastor of Bingzhou!  How could I be bullied by these bad tenants here?

    "If we say they are assassins, who knows how they got into my Jiao family's cavalry?"  With their ability, it shouldn't be difficult to scoop up two groom brothers and pretend to be pickers.  The villain only knows that these two assassins are definitely not from my Jiao family warehouse.

    ¡°Besides, since my Jiao family may commit assassinations, who knows if these assassins were invited by these bad tenants?  "

    As soon as the man said these words, both the people who were reviewing the case, the officials who were hearing the trial, and the people were in an uproar!  Even Zhou Yu's face changed slightly and he looked at the unlucky third brother who was lying down and sitting down.

    Although he was seriously injured, the farming problem has not yet been solved, but he may be accused of being a suspect in the assassination of the Governor.  If such a person is not unlucky, there are very few unlucky people in the world.

    Among the crowd, only Sun Ce was still thinking calmly: "Fortunately, I know that the Bu family brothers and sisters in history are the closest relatives and subordinates of the Sun family. Otherwise, judging from this man's eloquence, they would really  Some people can't argue.

    "Since we can suspect the Jiao family to assassinate the Governor, why can't we suspect that the Bu family brothers and sisters conspired with the assassins to carry out the assassination."  The three Bu brothers and sisters were just refugees from Jiangbei in the past two or three years.

    Strictly speaking, compared with the local Jiao family, they are the real people of unknown origin!  Even if they check their identities, there is no way to do it.  First of all, Xuzhou was still controlled by Cao Jun, and it was impossible to search for household registration in other people's government offices.

    Secondly, even if it could be done, Jiangbei, which had been in chaos for quite some time, would still have difficulty finding out his past place of origin.  Is this assassination case going to remain unsolved?  What a big joke!

    The rules I set myself should pay attention to evidence!  You can't just rely on your official power to force the Jiao family down just because you were assassinated this time!  Besides, if Zhuge Ziyu is acting like this, I¡¯m afraid he won¡¯t agree with me for taking human life lightly!  "

    Looking at Zhuge Jin with a relaxed look on his face, Sun Ce couldn't help but feel a little itchy at the root of his teeth: "But this Jiao Jiao's official position is not high, but his vision is too high. What a big tone, he only associates with officials and gentry families!"

    If he is so arrogant, he will definitely offend many people in daily life.  No wonder those ordinary merchants didn't like him either. In Jiao Jiao's eyes, they were just low-class people who refused to deal with him!  "

    "You, you fart! You are shameless. This is the most despicable frame-up!"

    Wei Jing, who was lying down in the hall, finally couldn't bear it anymore and struggled and roared.  During the struggle, several wounds on his body suddenly opened, and the gurgling blood instantly dyed the bandages on his body red.

    "If I have the skills of those assassins, do you scumbags still want to knock me out? I can't do that, let alone Brother Bu who is just concentrating on studying!"

    In response to Wei Jing's rage, the shrewd man just sneered and didn't answer his words at all.  For him, it was enough to argue that the situation was like this. There was no need to waste any more time on unnecessary arguments with Wei Jing.

    Seeing his calm and calm look, Sun Ce was a little surprised: "This guy is a talent and his eloquence is of a very high level! If there were a bar exam in this era, this guy would be the first to pass."  .

    ¡°As expected, people cannot be judged by their appearance. Who knew that a big man driving a carriage could be so eloquent?  As expected, there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers everywhere among the people!  If the imperial examination had not been held, I don¡¯t know how many civilian talents would have been buried in obscurity.  "

    When everyone fell into silence for a moment.  Suddenly, an old figure ran up to the hall crying, scooping up a letter.  Behind the old man were several guards.  Zhuge Jin recognized at a glance that these were the men he sent to summon Jiao Jiao.

    Seeing that they were following the old man awkwardly at this time, Zhuge Jin was shocked: "Is it possible that Mr. Jiao, who always pays attention to elegance, just wiped the soles of his feet and fled? Otherwise, how could these guards look like this?"

    Before a few people could hand over their orders to the prefect, the old man had already knelt down on the ground.  Sun Ce cried to Sun Ce above.

    "Your Majesty the Governor! My Mr. Jiao Jiao was wronged! He was loyal to the country and an upright man throughout his life, and never showed favoritism! Today he was forced to death by a group of bastard men who acted recklessly. The Governor wants to make the decision for my Jiao family!

    "Master, he will be sixty tomorrow, but he will not be able to survive today."  The little old man just asks you to kill all these thieves on the spot, and bury my father who died unjustly with him, so as to comfort my father's soul in heaven!  "

    This time Sun Ce was also horrified and stood up suddenly: "What did you say? Your boss??Is it focal correction?  he died?  "

    The Jiao family¡¯s drivers, who were kneeling on the ground in the hall, suddenly became ashen-faced.  They originally wanted to congratulate their master, but they did bad things with good intentions, and finally forced their master to death.  No matter how Jiao Jiao died, it was inseparable from people like them.

    Song Qian, who was standing by the side, stepped forward, took the letter from the old man's hand, and handed it to Sun Ce.  Sun Ce quickly read it and found that it was indeed the suicide note written by Jiao Jiao.  With a low sigh, he handed the letter to Zhou Yu beside him.

    Afterwards, all the officials circulated it, and they were all a little sad and speechless.  Since this Jiao Jiao can prove his ambition through death, he seems to be a talented man with high ambitions.  Except for his arrogant temperament and a bit of a problem with his eyes above his head, he is not a very evil person.

    The officers then stepped forward to report: "Your Majesty the Governor, all your lords, and the little ones, on the orders of the Grand Administrator, rushed to Jiaojiazhuang to summon Jiao Jiao. Only then did they find that he had hanged himself in the study!

    The villain has already experienced it right on the spot!  It is undoubtedly Jiao Jiao, the head of the Jiao family.  Just because the matter was so important, the villain could only ask several brothers to bring his body to rescue him!  "

    After entering the court, the Jiao family's big palm whip, who had been ignored by everyone, suddenly cried out: "Master is dead, master, your old man is actually dead? Master! I'm sorry for you, dog!"

    After finally snatching everyone's lives from Sun Ce's hands and coming back, the big palm whip was very uneasy.  I still don¡¯t know how I should go home and explain to the master after killing so many brothers this time.

    Just now I heard my brother Xiao Wu argue with some eloquence, which almost turned the unfavorable situation around.

    Only then did he feel slightly settled.  He only hurt people and destroyed his fields, and the fields were still his own.  Even if he receives some punishment, at least he will not be linked to the serious crime of assassinating the Governor, which is the real serious crime of confiscating a family and exterminating a clan!

    Who would have thought that the old man with a strong temper would kill himself to show his true feelings.  This made Big Palm Whip Gou'er, who had been loyal to the Jiao family his whole life, feel that his sky was falling!
