The path of the villain is not easy

Chapter 186 Compromise
Changsun Ji looked at Governor Niu, smiled twice and said: "Master Niu, don't panic. I have no grudges with you in the past, and I have no grudges in recent days. Naturally, I will not harm you. Moreover, in the past few days, whether it is in terms of etiquette or entertainment Above all, you have not treated me badly, I am naturally grateful to you."

"Then I would like to thank General Changsun." Hearing what Changsun Ji said, Governor Niu said with joy.

"Master Niu wait a moment, besides, listen to me." Changsun Ji waved his hand lightly, signaling Niu County Sheriff not to worry.

"Although I said that I won't harm you, it doesn't mean that I will help you hide this matter, and I will do what I have to do. After all, I can't bear the crime of not reporting the knowledge. "

"What do you mean, General Changsun insists on killing the whole thing?"

"Haha, is the fish dead and the net broken? Is Mr. Niu thinking too highly of himself, or is he looking down on me? What are you going to use to fight me to the death, relying on you, the little servant girl in the county guard's mansion, or the dilapidated defender in this city?" Eldest grandson Ji sneered.

"Master Niu, I won't harm you. But don't harm me, and play me as a fool. If you still think about dragging me into this quagmire, thinking about letting me stop this disaster for you, then you can't It would be a big mistake.”

"What exactly does General Changsun want to say, let's just say it, don't go around so many circles, my brain is not flexible, but I don't understand what you mean at all." Niu County Sheriff said.

Changsun Ji glanced at Governor Niu, and stopped mentioning whether Governor Niu really didn't understand as he said.

"Since Mr. Niu said so, then I won't go around in circles. No one dares to deal with such a big thing as cannibalism in the whole city of Dongwuyang, and no one can cover it up. It is unquestionable to report it. Yes, but the person who indulges the common people and eats people is not necessarily you, Mr. Niu."

"General Changsun mean to find a scapegoat?" Asked Niu County Sheriff.

Changsun Ji smiled and said nothing, neither nodded nor shook his head.

Governor Niu looked at Changsun Ji's appearance, and cursed in his heart: "Old fox."

He naturally understood what Changsun Ji said, but he pretended to be dull, just thinking that if Changsun Ji said these words himself, even if he would leave some grudges and murders in the future, as a conspiracy The eldest grandson Ji will also share most of the burden for him.

"Then I don't know if the candidate, General Changsun, has already been selected." Seeing that Changsun Ji didn't answer, Niu County Sheriff continued to ask.

"This is your own business, Mr. Niu. You need to think about it yourself, but I still want to remind Mr. Niu that if a big fish escapes, it will always need many small fish to fill its stomach. Remember that it is a small fish , not shrimp." Changsun Ji stared at Niu Junshou word by word.

Niu County Sheriff's eyes flickered. He naturally understood Changsun Ji's words. He was simply saying that as a Sheriff, if he wanted to avoid punishment, it didn't mean that he could just find a few people to take the blame. At least have some identity.

And there can't be only one, Changsun Ji's words are almost clear, there is only one who can take the blame for him, and that is the aristocratic family in Dongwu Yangzhong.

But this aristocratic family is not a commoner in the city, who can kill them if they want.Although this country of Yan is big, in the eyes of local aristocratic families and noble gentry, it is just a small circle.

Not to mention the intermarriage and alliance between the clans, but the relationships among the classmates, fellow countrymen, colleagues, and fellow robes of each of the sons of the noble clans have already criss-crossed, densely weaving the Yan Guohao clan into a big net.Connect the whole family together.

It is easy for Dongwuyang's family to take the blame, but the consequences of the crime are very serious. Take the Bai family as an example, but it is only a small family, but it is of the same family as Bai Niangniang.

According to Changsun Ji's meaning, it is to dispose of all the families in Dongwuyang, but who can guarantee that these children of the family will not have one or two friends who are famous and purple, who are in the capital? .

If they wanted to avenge their friends and fellow clansmen, then he really couldn't bear it alone.Governor Niu looked at Changsun Ji again, thinking that if he could be pulled in, even if there was some high-ranking official's anger at that time, it didn't mean he couldn't bear it.

But he just thought about it and gave up.Knowing that there is no way to trick Sun Ji, the governor of Niu didn't bother to go around in circles anymore, and said directly: "This matter is too troublesome, I can't make a decision right now, let me think about it first, and I will make up my mind later. I'll give you an answer."

"Hehe, Master Niu, don't you know what long nights and dreams are called? Late will lead to changes. In my opinion, it's better to give orders tonight, and start to act at dawn tomorrow. As long as there is no trouble in Dongwuyang, it's time , even if the imperial court sends someone to interrogate him, there will be no proof." Changsun Ji said with a smile on his face.

Governor Niu's expression changed, he looked at the left and right screens, and knew that if he didn't agree, he wouldn't be able to get out of this room at all.Finally he said: "Okay, I'll listen to you, a dead fellow Daoist will not die a poor daoist."

"That's right, Mr. Niu prepared the order, so as not to make improper preparations when he takes action tomorrow."

"Okay, if that's the case, then I'll take my leave first." After finishing speaking, the Niu County Sheriff cupped his hands at Changsun Ji, turned around and was about to leave.

Changsun Ji nodded and did not stop him.

After Governor Niu left Changsun Ji's room with two guards, Guo Dingxin said to Changsun Ji, "General, why didn't you kill him just now?"

"Now is not the time to kill him, he still has some uses, don't worry, when the time comes, you will naturally let me do it." Changsun Ji said softly.

At the same time, Governor Niu, who left Changsun Ji's house, gently wiped the sweat from his face, turned his head and asked the guard behind him, "Tian Yi, you were clearly aware that you were in the room just now. After that, is it really an ambush for the knife and axe?"

"My lord, I can't be wrong. If there were one or two, I might not be able to detect them, but behind the screen, the atmosphere is mixed, and at least there are more than 20 people hidden." The guard who was originally talking in the ear of the Niu County Sheriff opened his mouth and said. .

"Originally they were shrewd in hiding, but they didn't find it at first, but later, when I rescued the lord, the breath behind the screen became mixed."

"Damn it, a little defeated general, does he really think that he can do whatever he wants with a little reputation from his father's generation? How dare you set up a trap for me, is it really so easy to bully me?" County Sheriff Niu asked. Vented the air.

"My lord, what should we do? Do we really have to do what that little kid said? This is too embarrassing." At this time, behind him, another guard also said.
