Xu Jingzong's experience is quite legendary, from an official in the former Sui to a rebel in Wagangzhai, and then to one of the eighteen scholars in the Qin Palace......

He has experienced enough, suffered a lot, and finally felt that it was better to have a tendon, that is, to hold the boss's thighs tightly, not to think about other things, and to be a loyal minister and a lonely minister.

But as a loyal minister and a lonely minister, you had better stay by the emperor's side. Otherwise, you will offend too many people, and if you become a foreign official, you will be easily killed by the enemy.

So after being slapped to Huazhou by the eldest grandson Wuji, what he was most worried about was that he would not be able to return to Beijing and be cleaned up by those enemies.

What do I need to get back to Beijing? Achievement!

There is no political achievement, Li Zhi wants to transfer him back to Beijing, and those people will also oppose it. At present, Li Zhi's authority is not enough to keep him as a loyal minister, so he can only save himself.

Thinking of this, he looked at Jia Ping'an and said lightly: "What do you want to say?" If you want to fool the old man and escape punishment, it is wishful thinking! The old man has been an official for many years, and you have seen a lot of cunning young people, most of whom don't cry when they don't see the coffin, and today the old man wants to see what means you have to make the old man stop! ”

Although he was stupid and cute, he could see at a glance that Jia Ping'an was dying and trying to escape the fate of house arrest in the temple.

The prince asked him to come to Huazhou to see how the broom star was, and as a loyal dog, his first reaction was to remove the threat of the broom star for the prince. So after weighing the pros and cons, I felt that it was best to send Jia Ping'an to the temple to suppress it.

Now he is in the mentality of a cat scratching a mouse, and wants to see what this teenager has to say. If it's nonsense, then send it to the temple. If there is something to be said, then consider it again.

Jia Ping'an said: "Can you know the basket of money borrowed by the Huazhou public party? ”

Xu Jingzong nodded, "Those two cheap dog slaves dare to deceive the state government." ”

This matter is supposed to be the pot of the predecessor Liang Bo, but Liang Bo is seriously ill, so he has become a backstabber, and he has to plug the hole.

I think that his boss has always only been responsible for the boss, but this time he was unlucky, lying down for a stabbing history, this grievance!

Jia Ping'an said: "The two money grabbers lent money to a merchant, who bought goods and transported them in two boats, but both ships sank. But lately, it has been quiet. The student had an idea that since the wind and waves were calm, even a shipwreck was just a shipwreck. Why did two ships sink? ”

Xu Jingzong only felt a buzz in his head.

"Yes! Why did two ships sink? Xu Jingzong muttered: "But Liang Bo has investigated the matter and said that he encountered a storm and sank." ”

Liang Bo is quite famous, the kind of celebrity and gentleman, so everyone has a good impression of him. The words of the celebrities are naturally credible.

But Jia Ping'an felt that something was wrong, he smelled the smell of loan fraud from this matter, and he was well-informed about such things, so he immediately formed a chain of reasoning.

Liang Bo's desire to be transferred to the capital is almost known to passers-by, and he runs to Chang'an as soon as he is free, and some people say that he is asking for help. But it costs money to ask for help!

Lack of money, so people cheated on loans, and then got the money to run for officials in the capital.

And the biggest driving force supporting this chain of reasoning is Liang Bo's condition, he was still a normal director of the state government before he fell ill, and he said that he was seriously ill the next day.

But Lang Zhong from Huazhou said that the cause of the stabbing history could not be found, which is puzzling. And after being seriously ill for more than ten days, he is still like that. In the case of Lang Zhong's helplessness, his condition did not worsen, if there was no ghost in this matter, Jia Ping'an would be willing to be tied to the shelf and burned to death by the villagers.

"Envoy, I heard that Liang Envoy Jun has always wanted to return to the capital to take up his post, so he found some people to help, but the students know that they can't ask for someone empty-handed!"

You have to give benefits, otherwise who will help you?

After Jia Ping'an finished speaking, he took a step back, and the rest waited for Lao Xu to weigh the pros and cons.

Xu Jingzong was taken aback, although he said that Liang Bo was a traitor, but it was just a cannon, "Yes, the old man always thought that Liang Bo was a gentleman, but a gentleman also has to find a career!" He is looking for someone to help in the capital, where is the lack of money? His family is ordinary, where did he get so much money? And the old man heard that he was not among the people who were transferred back to Chang'an this time, so he hissed......"

This is the failure of running for office!

If the official run failed, Liang Bo had to plug the loophole of the deficit.

Xu Jingzong couldn't help but gasp, and then nodded gratefully to Jia Ping'an.

It's not that Lao Xu is too stupid, it's that he doesn't have such knowledge at all.

Loan fraud, many people in later generations know about it, but how many people in Datang know?

As soon as Jia Ping'an said this, all the doubts suddenly emerged, Xu Jingzong first sneered, and said in a contemptuous manner: "Lao Liang, you dare to yin the old man?" ”

Hey!

This old Xu, why is he so gentle?

Jia Ping'an felt that this tone did not match Lao Xu's ...... Temperance, according to his understanding, Lao Xu should be scolded.

"Cheap dog slave!" The more Xu Jingzong thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and scolded: "I actually left these troubles for the old man, and if the old man doesn't kill you, you won't be surnamed Xu!" ”

Jia Ping'an breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that this was the nature of the famous traitor Xu Jingzong.

Xu Jingzong hurriedly turned around and left, and the entourage shouted: "Envoy, how to get the broom star?" ”

Xu Jingzong waved his hand without looking back, "Go back with the old man!" ”

The group glanced at Jia Ping'an and hurriedly followed, but a question came to mind: Why did the envoy give up the plan to take him to the temple after talking to Jia Ping'an?

This is very strange, and the people in the village are even more puzzled.

Xu Jingzong hurriedly returned to the state office, and the first thing he did was to summon the two money grabbers.

As soon as the money catcher came, Xu Jingzong said with a calm face: "The money catcher's family property must be guaranteed to repay the public money in his hand, you two said that they owe debts outside and can't repay the loan, this is fraud, why?" ”

The two money catchers knelt down and cried, probably because they were lucky, please forgive you.

There is no need to punish the confiscation of family property in this kind of thing, otherwise the money grabbers in the world will be afraid and dare not take over the matter of public money lending, so what should I do then? Do you want the officials to lend money on their own?

So these two people looked very sad, but they did not despair.

"I actually deceived the old man!" Xu Jingzong thought of Jia Ping'an's analysis, and felt that there was a sixty percent possibility of this matter, so he gritted his teeth and said: "Fight!" ”

"Let you spare your life!"

Liao Quan came out to persuade: "Envoy, if you blame them heavily, I am afraid that no one in Huazhou will dare to take over the matter of public money lending." This matter is related to the officials' salaries and public chefs, so you can't be careless! ”

This is a steady attitude, with some dissatisfaction.

If you Xu Jingzong want to investigate the case directly, what does it mean to be tortured?

You must know that although these money grabbers are not officials, they are working for the benefit of officials, and everyone is quite polite to them on weekdays. You Xu Jingzong will fight when he comes up, it's too much.

Others dare not say this, but as the deputy of the assassin Shi, Liao Quan can say it.

There was more dissatisfaction in his eyes, and if he could, he really wanted to impeach Lao Xu.

Xu Jingzong glanced at him and shouted, "Fight!" ”

He is not ambiguous in doing things, such as standing in line, since he is on Li Zhi's side, he will not hesitate to deal with those family lords.

A few officials held down the two money grabbers and beat them.

In the midst of the screams, a money catcher shouted injustice, Xu Jingzong sneered: "If you refuse to say it, you will be killed, and if something happens, the old man will bear it!" ”

This is very bold, very courageous, and very traitorous.

Hearing that it was killed or not, the two money catchers insisted at first, and then someone shouted: "The villain is guilty, the villain is guilty!" ”

Xu Jingzong was actually very nervous, if he made a mistake in judgment, Shi Liaoquan would be able to impeach him in a book. The eldest grandson Wuji and the others were trying to clean up his loyal dog of the prince, and they couldn't say that they would take advantage of the situation and drive him to the ends of the earth.

He clenched his fists, secretly nervous. Hearing that someone was guilty, I couldn't help but laugh.

The sky will not destroy my old Xu, and the sky will not destroy my old Xu!

"Hahahaha!"

Liao Quan was afraid that he would be beaten into a trick, so he asked, "What are you guilty of?" ”

Lao Xu immediately stopped laughing and stared at the money catcher.

"Villain...... The money villain didn't give the merchant ......"

Liao Quan was shocked, and hurriedly asked, "Why?" ”

The money catcher howled: "Liang Yuanjun found the villain and the two, saying that he wanted to embezzle some public money, so that the two of us could contact the merchant and ask him to lie about the shipwreck, and then the money was given to Liang Yuanjun...... The two of us got the benefit of five dollars! ”

Liao Quan was shocked and stared at another money catcher.

The man said, "The envoy asked the two of us to transfer the property beforehand, and when he asked someone to pretend to confiscate it." ”

it!

This is a partnership to cheat money!

He didn't know that there was a word for such things in later generations: loan fraud!

"Envoy!"

Liao Quan turned around and saw Xu Jingzong sitting there with a solemn face, no, it was a righteous and awe-inspiring face, and he immediately felt guilty, feeling that he had misunderstood Lao Xu.

But Lao Xu was sighing at the moment, thinking that the broom star had such insight, which showed that he was smart. The key is that this person actually helped my old man Xu and allowed the old man to gain a firm foothold in Huazhou in one fell swoop.

Thinking of how happy His Royal Highness would be after the news reached Chang'an City, and how the eldest grandson Wuji and others would be aggrieved, Xu Jingzong was secretly refreshed.

But his appearance is calm in Liao Quan's eyes.

Who said Lao Xu was a traitor?

Liao Quan is an upright person, so he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion at this moment, and arched his hand: "The lower officials listened to those rumors, thinking that it would not be a good thing for the king to come to Huazhou, so he was disrespectful in his heart." Today, the lower officials only know that the king's methods are clever...... Yes, the envoy asked the lower officials to borrow money to buy mutton, which must be paralyzing them, this means...... The lower officials bowed to the service. ”

Xu Jingzong was stunned. I think he is an official everywhere, because of the effect of those bad reputations, the officials and subordinates are quite disdainful of him, but they don't show it. At this moment, Governor Shi of Hua actually expressed that with admiration...... Reverence, this ......

What a surprise!

He immediately humbled a few words, and then scolded: "Liang Bo, that cheap dog slave, actually committed such a thing, and pretended to be sick to trap the old man, the old man will definitely impeach him!" ”

Liao Quan said with admiration: "The envoy said that Liang Bo was a traitor before, and the lower officials slandered him for a long time, but today I know how keen the envoy is, and he can see through Liang Bo's nature at a glance." ”

Lao Xu only felt light, but he really didn't think about it that way!

For example, eating mutton, where did it come from to paralyze Liang Bo? It's just that he likes to eat. As for saying that Liang Bo is a traitor, it is just his harsh way of speaking, saying whatever comes to mind.

But now these things have turned into his old Xu's wisdom, adding to his aura.

After the song was written, he asked him to send it to Chang'an quickly.

Then someone came and asked, "Envoy, someone in the temple came to ask, saying that they had prepared more than 30 monks, so they were ready to suppress the broom star, and asked when the broom star would arrive." ”

Lao Xu pondered for a while, and patted the case a few times, "The old man of the broom star felt a little kind when he saw it, and he will take a look later." ”

Affectionate?

The broom star is a murderous thing, and you say that the meaning of ferocity is almost the same, and the meaning of kindness...... Where does the cordiality come from?

Liao Quan couldn't help but look at Xu Jingzong carefully, and said with a worried expression: "Didn't Jun Mo be confused by the broom star?" ”

Xu Jingzong's eyelids jumped and said, "The old man is fine, that young man ...... The old man made a promise, and after saying it, he would take a look again. ”

thinks that he Xu Jingzong has a bad reputation outside, but he is a good man and promises a thousand gold.

Of course, being a good man is just his boast, but a promise is true. Jia Ping'an's words allowed him to gain a firm foothold in Huazhou, which did not match the attributes of the broom star. Xu Jingzong felt the need to observe again.

Liao Quan's temperament is more extreme, and he used to think that Lao Xu was a big traitor, but the result was reversed. From then on, he felt that Lao Xu was enduring humiliation before, and it was not easy.

So at this moment, in his gaze, there seemed to be four more floating big characters on the top of Lao Xu's head.

- A promise!
