New widow

Zhou Jiu had already turned back to look at him: "Think about it first before you speak."

The man had already covered his mouth tightly, and Zhang Qing smiled: "This man is the housekeeper of the prefecture. He only comes in and out of the prefecture's Yamen. How come you have seen him?"

"I must have seen it before." Another person muttered in a low voice. Zhang Qing looked at this person. Zhou Jiu glared at this person. Zhang Qing smiled: "Okay, what a well-guarded prison."

"The prefect is here." Suddenly came the words from outside, and then the prefect walked in. Seeing Zhang Qing, the prefect pointed at him: "Zhang Sifu, you are getting more and more bold now. You really think you have climbed up to the minister. Sir, can you please leave me alone?"

"My lord, you are here just in time." Zhang Qing stood up from his seat, looked at the prefect and said softly: "I also want to ask your lord, why do the prisoners in this prison appear outside, and even want to kidnap Madam Kuang."

"What kind of prisoner in the prison?" The prefect only wanted to cover it up, but Zhang Qing had already laughed: "Master prefect, the prison is not managed well and the plague is spreading. This is something that no one can do. Even the superior officer will not ask a question. Yes, but if the prisoner in the prison appears outside, the subordinate should ask the magistrate how he did it."

"Bold!" The magistrate's face turned red. Zhang Qing looked at the magistrate: "I would like to ask one more question, what did your steward say to the prince to make him do such a thing."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" The prefect pointed at Zhang Qing angrily: "Come here, take off his official hat for me."

Zhang Qing has already taken off the official hat on his head. He is holding the official hat in one hand and pointing to the official hat with the other hand: "I have been an official for a long time. I just want to ask you clearly. I forgive my subordinates for not daring to obey my orders."

"Come here!" The magistrate was still shouting, and Wang Shangshu's voice came from outside: "The magistrate is so majestic."

Then Wang Shangshu walked in. His face was haggard, but his eyes were still shining. Seeing Wang Shangshu, the prefect could only salute him: "Your Excellency."

"Zhang Sifu, you just said that the steward of the prefect went to look for my son. What did you say?" Wang Shangshu looked at Zhang Qing and asked slowly. Zhang Qing raised his eyebrows slightly: "I have to ask the prefect. The housekeeper, what exactly did he say that made Mr. Ling set a fire in his house and kidnap Miss Zhou?"

"I just find it strange. My son is indeed a playboy, and he deserves to be sentenced to death. But how can he recognize such a vicious person?" Wang Shangshu said slowly, and the prefect's expression changed. Then the prefect said: "My lord, you are no longer in office."

"Well, I am no longer in office." Wang Shangshu pointed at the prefect with the cane in his hand: "Tell me, who told you to deal with me like this?"

This is the habit of people who have been officials for a long time. After all, in the eyes of Wang Shangshu, the prefect is just a minor official, a small prefect. He dares to do this before it is too late to curry favor with the minister. Someone must be displeased with his own family and think so. You must give your home a good look through the hands of the prefect.

The prefect looked at Wang Shangshu and knew that things could not go well today, so the prefect could only say to Wang Shangshu: "This matter has not been found to be completely clear. How do you know that this matter has something to do with me?"

"Then please sir, please step aside for a moment, and I will continue the trial." Zhang Qing spoke at the right time. When he spoke, Zhang Qing put on his official hat and looked at the prefect: "My lord, what do you think?"

The prefect didn't know where his anger was going, so he could only stand aside angrily, while Wang Shangshu had already nodded: "Very good, I also want to know what kind of temptation my son has been subjected to."

If the prince's behavior towards Liu Lanhua can be considered a normal dandy, then the prince must have been bewitched when he burned down his own house.

This is also what Wang Shangshu often thinks as a parent. His sons must be well-behaved, and it must be the people around him who have not served him well, or someone else must have bewitched his son to do these things.

Zhang Qing had also seen a lot, so he just said yes and slapped his hand: "What you just said, say it again."

"Sir, that day, we saw Brother Zhou Jiu meeting a man. The man said that he was the steward of the prefect." These people saw that the prefect and Wang Shangshu had a dispute. They knew that everything would be fine as Zhou Jiu said. Naturally, someone stepped forward and spoke loudly.

Zhang Qing, the prefect's housekeeper, had already nodded: "Here, please bring the person here."

The prefect on the side has already said coldly: "If the housekeeper in my house has anything, I will naturally handle it. Does Zhang Sifu still want to handle it?"

"Sir, this matter is related to national law. If you want to deal with it,..." Before Zhang Qing could finish his words, Wang Shangshu said: "I remember this housekeeper, and I also recognize him."

Wang Shangshu's words meant that the housekeeper must come. The magistrate looked at Wang Shangshu and said, "Sir, the case of the fire in your mansion has been closed."

"Yes, after the marriage, three more gangsters were arrested, but these three were beaten to death in prison." Wang Shangshu said lightly, which left the prefect speechless. Wang Shangshu saw The magistrate said this and said calmly: "People die frequently in the prison. Although the superior officials will not care about it, it is always bad if word spreads."

After saying that, Wang Shangshu glanced sideways at the prefect: "I was a prefect before, but I didn't dare to have so many prisoners die in the prison here." As he said this, Wang Shangshu looked at Zhou Jiu: "Even, there are Prisoners who should be in jail are now trying to kidnap others in broad daylight. This magistrate is really good at his job."

Wang Shangshu's words were full of sarcasm, and of course the magistrate heard it, so the magistrate could only sneer: "Since your lord must do this, then I have no choice but to ask the housekeeper to come. However, if nothing can be found out, lord What else are you going to say?”

"As long as you want to interrogate, you will definitely be able to interrogate something." Wang Shangshu certainly knew what these people were thinking, and his tone was still so calm, not caring about the prefect's anger. After all, Wang Shangshu has seen enough of the world these days. In this case, of course, he should drag as many people into the water as he can.

The prefect looked at Wang Shangshu and knew what Wang Shangshu was thinking. The prefect was extremely angry, but he could only ask someone to find the butler.

There was silence in the hall at this time. Everyone was waiting for the prefect's butler to arrive, but the prefect's face became very ugly. How did things come to this point?

Although Wang Shangshu closed his eyes and looked very peaceful, in fact Wang Shangshu was also thinking about how things had reached this point and how his life had become such a mess.
