This time, Cheng Baiyi was even more loyal, upright, and selfless. Despite his gentle nature, his method of interrogating prisoners was terrifying.
Even the most ferocious robber in the world would tremble with fear whenever he saw him.
Someone secretly nicknamed him "White-faced Evil Star", and there was also a jingle called "It's better to meet the evil king than the white evil one", which refers to him.
Cheng Baiyi remained silent while Zhou Tongli was talking, just eating and drinking in silence.
At this time, when everyone asked him, he didn't even raise his eyebrows and ignored them.
Everyone knew his temper, and seeing him silent, they obviously acquiesced in Zhou Tongli's words, which meant that these officials who were sent to Dali Temple were really the newly appointed censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Some people have begun to feel uneasy, but more people don't pay much attention to it.
As a mere fourth-grade official, no matter how powerful his authority is, can he really control himself
Mr. Wei was drinking wine absentmindedly and thinking about something silently. When someone spoke to him, he would reply absentmindedly.
"Zhou Jijiu, do you know anything else about the new censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate?" The third-rank official who had been pouring wine for Zhou Tongli asked curiously.
Zhou Tongli was already seventy or eighty percent drunk.
Everyone knew that the more wine he drank, the more he lost control of his mouth, so they all gathered together.
"What news do I know? That's a lot, a lot. Which one do you want to hear?" Zhou Tongli tilted his drunken eyes at the people around him.
Everyone said: "Anything, let's talk about it."
"Tell me who this little censor is, how old he is? Where is his family name?"
Although everyone knew that the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate had great authority, no matter how high he was, he was only a fourth-grade official. Everyone didn't take it seriously, but they were a little curious about the person who dared to be this official.
Zhou Tongli shook his head and said: "Where is your family name? I don't know. I don't know how old you are. As for who you are, I don't even know."
Everyone burst into laughter.
"You don't know anything, so why are you bragging?"
"Please tell me a few things you know."
"Yes, yes, let us also know how powerful this new little censor is."
Zhou Tongli stared at the person who spoke last.
"Of course this Master Censor is powerful. Well, if you want to know something about her, then I will tell you one thing."
"Okay, you say it, we are all ears."
Zhou Tongli thought for a moment and said, "I'll just tell you one thing about hearing someone cry and defending against evil."
"Why do you cry and defend yourself?" Everyone was confused.
"Why are you so anxious? Listen to me. It is said that one day the censor passed by a village and heard a woman crying nearby. She stopped and listened for a while and said decisively: 'This woman's There is something wrong with the crying." She asked the crying woman to ask questions. The woman said that her husband had just died and she was in unbearable grief. However, the censor said: "Your husband was killed, and you are the one who was killed. The murderer who killed your husband!" The woman naturally refused to admit it and denied it in every possible way. The censor glanced at the crowd, pointed at one of the men and said, "That's your adulterer!" The man took it down and after interrogation, they both confessed. It turned out that the woman and the adulterer conspired to murder her husband. "
