When Liu Bang got rid of his wife and children, came out of his own house, and rushed to Xiao He's house, he found that the Xiao family was nervous and a little faintly happy.

"Brother Xiao, what's the matter, I haven't seen you for a few days, it's like a magpie has built a nest at home, and I'm panicking!"

Xiao Hele looked at his wife and children who were packing up their things in and out, and dragged Liu Bang in.

"Let's go, let's go inside!"

"The sun is good, let's talk about it right here." After speaking, Liu Bang found a tree stump and moved it to Xiao He.

Xiao He smiled and followed him.

"I originally thought that I was in a hurry, and I was afraid that I wouldn't have time to say goodbye to you, but it happened that you came, so I didn't have this regret. This is God fulfilling my Xiao! ”

"Brother Xiao, you should make it clear, what's going on is going on, you have to say goodbye, brother and I are in a hurry!"

Xiao He smiled, stroked his beard and said: "That's the case, this morning, the county commander and the county Cheng accompanied Xianyang to come to the Zhisu Neishi Yamen, Master Gu came to me, saying that Xiao Mou has done a good job in the evaluation for consecutive years, and it just so happens that there is a vacancy in the subordinate official under the Zhisu Neishi Rank, so Xiao Mou is temporarily on top." Hehe, looking at that meaning, it is to test Xiao for a while, and then stay in Xianyang to develop. Xiao He had a smug look on his face that couldn't be concealed.

Liu Bang was taken aback, "Really? "The news was so sudden. Xianyang is so far away!

"It's true, if it weren't for the county order and the county Cheng to accompany him, Xiao would have thought that Lord Nagu was a liar. He took out the letter and showed it to Xiao, and Xiao believed it. Hehe, until now, Xiao's head is still a little dizzy! I thought that I would stay in this Pei County for the rest of my life, managing documents and taxes. Who would have thought that there were people in their forties and fifties. There is such a good opportunity, I think the county Cheng is not puzzled about this matter, and it is ...... It's a little hot. Hehe. This is also what our brothers said in private, you ......, you know? ”

Liu Bang nodded hurriedly and said, "I understand, I understand!" ”

However, when he said this, he had a smile on his face, but his heart suddenly became empty.

"Brother Xiao, you're leaving. Liu Bang is reluctant! "It's true.

Xiao He put away the smug color on his face and turned his head to look at him. After a while, he said: "Xiao is also reluctant." But for the official errand to listen to the dispatch, there is no freedom, this is for sure, in addition, the husband is alive, he can do great things if he can do great things, and the opportunity is in front, there is no reason to refuse. At this point, he said no more. just looked at Liu Bang fixedly, as if he was still asking, "Do you understand?" ”

"Brother understands, Liu Bang is happy for his brother. It's just that my brother is gone. Liu Bang felt as if he couldn't see the road in front of him suddenly! "He's really not down-to-earth.

Xiao He stretched out his hand and patted him and said, "Brother is not an ordinary person, he has courage. has the courage, after Xiao left. Brothers should be cautious, for fear of causing trouble in the future. Xiao wants to help you, but he can't do it, after all, Xianyang is too far away! ”

Liu Bang lowered his head. Indeed, Xianyang is too far away, and in Pei County in the future, I am afraid that no one will speak for him if he causes trouble!

……

……

When Liu Bang was sad about Xiao He's departure, a hunt was quietly taking place in Wuzhong.

It all started with a funeral.

The so-called "filial piety is not important to mourning, and sending death is a big deal", not to mention that this is the death of the mother of the big family Yu Gongxian. This funeral began with the end of the exhibition shop, invited the well-known Mr. Xiang Liang, with his arrangement, the old man's final matters will inevitably be done properly, so that the living and the deceased can be comforted.

The coffin has been prepared a long time ago, and the old man is dying, which should be treated as an old funeral in the customs of the Chu people.

Yu Gongxian had already boiled his eyes black, his lips were violent, although Xiang Liang was staring, he was still not at ease, after all, Xiang Liang was not familiar with his family's social relations, and someone had to support the human relationship.

In the courtyard, Xiang Liang was assigning people: "Burn more ashes of plants and trees, it's hot, I'm afraid it won't last for five days." ”

Someone went down.

"The coffin has to be painted again, you ask the painter to brush it quickly, and after the painting is finished, put it in the doorway for ventilation and quick drying."

Someone else went down.

"Outcast, take all the stonemasons and joiners you found to the courtyard next to you, this courtyard is chaotic and can't receive relatives and friends, and you don't even have this bit of eyesight, what can you do?"

"Hey, okay, master." The outcast agreed.

"Outcast, have you explained everything to them? If you don't know, ask the master, we don't have time to rework! ”

"Clearly, the outcast has drawn a picture of them, and will stare at them to do it."

"Okay, you go, when you see Xiang Yu, just say I'm looking for him!"

"Hey, master, I saw Brother Xiang Yu go to the butcher's house in the morning, maybe I'll be back soon!"

Immediately afterwards, Yu Gongxian heard a familiar greeting sound in the courtyard: "Ah, let's just say, this big matter has to be handled by Mr. Xiang Liang, and it is really you!" ”

"Ha, it's Master Cai! Ah, the owner is here too! Come in, come in. The old lady is an old happy mourner, everyone comes, and her old man can walk with peace of mind! ”

"Yes, she is an old man with high morality, and our sons and nephews should come to give her a ride, not to mention, we have to have a long relationship with several brothers of the Yu family!"

Hearing this, Yu Gongxian couldn't sit still, and he walked out of the door. No matter how much dirt there is on weekdays, at this time, people are willing to come to the door, which is also to give the Yu family face. He has to take this love.

"Come on, please come in, there's a lot of commotion outside!"

"Hey~, you're welcome, Brother Yu, take us to kowtow to the old lady first, and then talk about it after fulfilling the etiquette of the children and nephews!

"Ah, yes, yes!"

was noisy, and a wave came in from outside the door, and Yu Gong had to cheer up and greet people.

"Ah, You and Ridian are here too! Look, I'm disturbing you all about this! Second brother, second brother, come and greet the two distinguished guests! "Tolerance comes to the door, and it is enough to have the second brother greet you. They weren't qualified enough for him to accompany him.

Yu Jingzu put down the matter in his hand and responded: "Just come!" Then, he turned his head and whispered to Aunt Hong, who was helping next to him: "Bring the morning food hot, get more, these people can eat!" ”

Done. He walked over with a smile on his face and gave the two of them a smile.

You swept a glance at the people in the yard. After exchanging glances with the young man following behind him, he nodded to Ridian.

Ridian replied with a look of embarrassment. said to the Yu brothers: "Hehe, I'm sorry, today is the old lady's big day, what about reasoning, you shouldn't bother, you should come and do your filial piety." However, we can't delay official business, right? So ......"

When Yu Jingzu heard this, his face changed. "Hong Lao Er, let's say, what's important about our old lady? The old lady passed away the day before yesterday and didn't see you come to see you off, didn't anyone come to inform you? ”

Li Dian laughed, knowing that today's errand would not be easy to do, but what could he do if it was not good?

Yu Gongxian was still calmer, and shouted pretending to be loud: "Second brother, don't be rude, you are a guest at the door." How can you do that? After saying that, he saluted the people who came in again, and said, "Don't hesitate to say anything, the old lady's business is a big matter." The matter of tolerance is also an important matter, but everything must be done. Just be careful! ”

Ridian laughed twice and said, "That's right." Recently, there have been cases of thieves in neighboring villages, so let's strictly check the foreign population. But all those whose origin is unknown must be explained, and we must ensure the safety of our place! ”

"Oh, that's right!" Yu Gong nodded first and put his mind at ease. Check the foreign population, then there is nothing to do with his locals. If you want to talk about the foreign population, that is, Xiang Liang, who invited to help, and the group he brought to treat the funeral, the other neighbors and relatives and friends have nothing to do with it.

Xiang Liang couldn't help but panic when he saw Yu Gong looking at him first. He's a murderer. Otherwise, it will not hide from the lower phase to this Wuzhong.

The owner of the waiting village, who had been watching from the side, spoke: "I said a few tolerances, when the work is divided, you are mixed up in a bright way, is this not a good impact, can you wait a few days, and when the old lady is sent, you will come to do the errand?" Look at it, there are so many big living people, under your noses, where is he going? After speaking, he also glanced at Yu Gongxian with a good look.

You Qing cleared his throat and said loudly: "Fellow villagers, don't worry, you won't disturb the old lady, just take someone back to ask questions, let's come clearly, go quietly, each with all their hearts, they should be divided, how about it?" ”

Yu Gong glanced at his younger brother first, and said in a deep voice: "Please, my Yu family will fully cooperate!" ”

Ridian nodded gratefully, and finally felt that his scalp was loosened and his burden was lighter.

He said: "Then the people in this courtyard are busy now, that is, the funeral team invited to follow us to the county yamen!" Excuse me, are you Xiang Liang, the next minister? ”

Yu Jingzu stopped doing it as soon as he heard it, and the people who treated the funeral were taken away, so what kind of fart was the funeral?

"I said, Hong Er, you are specifically here to find trouble, after these three days, who do you want to check who you want to check whom, it has nothing to do with me Yu Er, now I want to bring someone, hum, no way! Step over my corpse first! ”

"Yes, no way, I just can't bring people from here today, why do I have to give the master's family a time to prepare, how can the old lady's business stop when you say stop?" The owner of the waiting bank, who had just sold a good one, followed very strongly.

Yu Gongxian was also a little breathless, if he took the entire funeral team away, his Yu family would really be delayed.

You took a look at it, this Hong Lao Er was too meaty, so he had to say: "Don't worry, everyone, things have to be done little by little, and the old lady's delivery will never be delayed." In this way, we only take Xiang Liang, the next minister, and the others should do whatever they want. It's just that their actions must be under the supervision of the county government, and when Xiang Liang is investigated, let's talk about the follow-up matters, maybe, Xiang Liang has nothing to do, and he will come back in the afternoon? ”

As he spoke, he looked at the Yu family and the relatives and friends of the Yu family who were present.

The owner of Cai Zhuang, who came in with the owner, couldn't help but gasp, he never said a word, because he and the Yu family couldn't say how deep their friendship was, but it was a little dirty, but it was not a thing that could not be passed. It was only from that tolerance that he noticed the young man who had never said a word, his eyes were always rolling on Xiang Liang's body, calm and restrained, but he hid a high degree of control, which made him feel frightened.

This Xiang Liang is not a local, everyone knows it. Not only is he not a local, but he is also a man of great influence. His father, Xiang Yan, was a general of the late Chu State, and committed suicide in defeat in the war with the Qin State, although this war led to the loss of a large part of the Chu State's territory, but the Chu people still remember his bravery and loyalty. Therefore, wherever Xiang Liang wanders, as long as he is within the scope of the old Chu State, the officials in charge turn a blind eye, and no one wants to go against public opinion, and he is uncomfortable.

However, they are obviously coming to Xiang Liang today, and this matter is probably strict.

In an instant, he sorted out Xiang Liang's charges according to the laws he knew, and he was startled, his car was cracked!

Because Xiang Liang often gathers a group of people to spread disobedient remarks, as for the rest, he doesn't know. Of course, the disobedience is in terms of the laws of Great Qin, and he also disagrees with these.

At this time, the sweat on Xiang Liang's back came out, and he noticed the silence at the door, for a while, no relatives, friends and servants of the Yu family entered or left, and he couldn't even hear the noise, what does this mean?

Someone has already come to control the outside?

Do they all know it? Want to be more serious with him?

Why didn't my nephew Xiang Yu come yet? If Xiang Yu wants to come, it won't be a problem to fight a bloody way. If he says his own words, at most he will put down a few, and it will be difficult to get out of the way in the end!

At this time, the outcast came in, Xiang Liang's heart was relieved, and the outcast was able to come in, which means that there are not many people outside, and the management is not very strict, and things are still turning around.

"Master, Brother Xiang Yu said that it will take a while to move the meat over, and there is something wrong with the car."

Xiang Liang pretended to be calm and said "um", "Don't kill them all at once, tell him to see if the guests are coming and then kill them." Otherwise, I am afraid that I can't let go of this weather! ”

The outcast said "um" for a moment, but did not go out, but asked ignorantly: "Master, what's wrong?" ”

Xiang Liang said indifferently: "The official mission wants to investigate outsiders, and you are also a foreigner, so you have to be investigated!" ”

You Yi was a little impatient at this time, and he said to Xiang Liang: "Okay, sir, don't make us embarrassed by errands, let's talk about something, and go home separately if we have nothing to do, okay?" ”

Li Dian also cooperated: "That's the case, let's go, let's just make it clear." It's not that outsiders are not allowed to come and go, there has to be a normal procedure, right? Even if you don't, you should make a new one, right? ”

Xiang Liang looked at the Yu brothers, Yu Gong turned his head to look at the second brother first, and said categorically: "Okay, Mr. will go early and return early, if there is anything that needs to be assigned, please ask Mr. to order it now, and Yu will let people do it." ”

Xiang Liang shook his head, he had no thoughts about this funeral. Originally, the funeral was a group of people he pulled together, making a living and making a living. If something happens to him, he'll make a fart!

"That being the case, master, let the outcast go with you! We are all outsiders, let's make it clear, let's come back to do things! The outcast looked at Xiang Liang sincerely.

Xiang Liang's heart was very warm when he said this, he didn't expect to take in someone to help ten days ago, but at this time, he was affectionate, righteous and courageous.

"Okay, let's go! Let's go through the formalities, think about it, it's not easy for the official family to let the funeral of the family be delayed like this! After speaking, he glanced at the Yu brothers again.

Yu Gong nodded first and said, "Go, the rest of the people, if there is anything, Yu will take care of it first!" ”

Li Dian hunched his waist, nodded to the Yu brothers, and dodged out of the way. A few people in the back also got out of the way, and Xiang Liang walked out of the courtyard with his hands behind his back, followed by the outcast.

When he went out, he was in the car, Xiang Liang was stunned when he saw it, do you still have to get in the car? The county yamen is less than two miles away, and it will be there in a while.

You said, "Let's go, let's hurry up." Let's ride horses, you and your apprentice get on the cart, and we'll go back as soon as we go." The master is still waiting for you! ”

The outcast agreed first, and said, "Oh, master, then let's go up, the outcast hasn't been in the car yet!" (To be continued.) )
