Chapter 285: The Jumping Beam Clown
Zhang Guangcheng is so shrewd, how can he not know that Xu Lequn is using the hand of Xu Lao Ghost to force him to be the supervisor of the Xiangyong Battalion. Thinking that Han Xiufeng was already ready to retreat, but he must not let Han Xiufeng retreat now, even if he desperately wanted to bring Xiangyong to Taizhou to defend the city, he didn't know how to face Han Xiufeng for a while. As if he hadn't heard anything, he stopped and looked back to see if Zhang Si and the other family members had packed their luggage and rushed over.
Han Xiufeng was waiting for Pan Er, who had just returned to the inn to pack his luggage, and was waiting for Lu Daming to call Li Xiucai.
Although Li Changjing was waiting for his family, he was more aggrieved than Han Xiufeng and Zhang Guangcheng, and looked at Xu Lequn angrily and asked: "The surname is Xu, my errand for helping to run the camp is also due to you, right?" ”
"Xu Mou did help Master Li in front of Master Xu, and you said a few kind words." Xu Lequn smiled and nodded, as if he was saying something insignificant.
"The surname is Xu, the second young master and Brother Han have had an affair with you, and I, Li Changjing, have not offended you, why do you want to harm me?"
"Hurt you, why did Master Li say this?"
"What are you not doing to me?"
"Not really." Xu Lequn motioned to a scribe who had just come from the state government with his bags to wait by the city gate, put down his arms and put his hands in his sleeves and said with a smile: "Master Li, you don't want to think about who has the final say in Taizhou now, even if you don't go to assist Master Han in compiling and training Xiangyong, Master Xu will also send you individual errands, and you will definitely enjoy leisure in the city." ”
"You don't need to worry about my business!" Li Changjing has no way to take Xu Lao Ghost, and he can't complain about Han Xiufeng and Zhang Guangcheng, so he can only be angry with Xu Lequn.
"Xu doesn't want to care, but he can't do it!" Xu Lequn looked at Han Xiufeng, then at Zhang Guangcheng, and then looked at the state government in the distance and said: "Master Xu is good everywhere, but it is too easy to trust people." For example, Master Han is obviously stable and does things well, but in the eyes of Master Xu, Master Han is a reckless and impulsive person with no scheming. ”
"What does this have to do with me?" Li Changjing asked angrily.
"The relationship is big, Master Xu thinks that Master Han is not only usable but also credible, but the enemy is current, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, what if Master Han doesn't train Xiangyong well, or trains Xiangyong but doesn't rush to Taizhou? Although Xu is not from Taizhou, he has many relatives and fellow villagers in Taizhou City, so he can't help but pay attention, so he can only ask you and Second Young Master Zhang to go out of the mountain. ”
Thinking of the things Xu Lequn had done and the words he had said before, Han Xiufeng asked in a somewhat sarcastic tone: "Mr. Xu, why do you always like to help others pick up and fill in the gaps?" ”
"It's really, Master Han, Xu is so old-fashioned and hot."
Seeing Li Xiucai running over panting with his mother-in-law, Xu Lequn looked at Li Xiucai obliquely and said: "Mr. Li, you came just in time, Master Han just said that Xu likes to help people pick up and fill in the gaps, this is not true at all, do you know where the two smuggled salt dealers who went to Hai'an to give you New Year's gifts a few years ago went?" ”
Li Xiucai saw Xu Lequn like a ghost, and was so frightened that he hurriedly stopped and protected his mother-in-law and two children behind him.
Xu Lequn looked at the two babies who were hiding behind him and peeking at him, and said slowly: "Your two friends drowned, and left a few last words before they died, saying that you think that Master Han is honest and honest and blocks your financial path, so you asked them to find a big family to do a case, and it is best to kill a few people, so that Master Han will lose his official position because he can't solve the case." Ask me to help them remind Master Han that he is really dying, and his words are good. ”
"The surname is Xu, you are spewing blood!" Li Xiucai was so frightened that he couldn't give up.
"Whether Xu Mou is spewing blood or not, you know it in your own heart, and Master Han's heart is like a mirror." Xu Lequn smiled slightly, then turned back and asked, "Master Han, did you say that?" ”
"Master Han, don't listen to him, he's sowing discord!" Li Xiucai said eagerly.
"Mr. Li doesn't need to panic." Han Xiufeng patted Li Xiucai on the shoulder, turned around and said, "Mr. Xu, Jiangning has fallen, Lu Zhitai has been martyred, and the bandits will be able to come to Yangzhou City in three or five days at the latest." Jiangning can't hold it, and Yangzhou, which has less than a thousand soldiers, can hold it for a few days? At the moment of the great enemy, not to mention whether Mr. Li has said those words or not, whether he has done those things, is that the grudge between us still important? ”
"It doesn't matter."
"Since it doesn't matter, what are you tossing about?"
"If you, Second Young Master Zhang, and Mr. Li can all die as martyrdom as Lu Zhitai, it naturally doesn't matter. But if everyone else is martyred, but Master Han, you are the only one who retreats unscathed, and maybe you will be added to the rank and knight, so what happened to those grievances between you and me? Master Han, you are too clever, Xu is not at ease, so he can only make this decision. ”
"Speaking of which, are you afraid that I, Han Xiufeng, will not die?"
"Exactly." Xu Lequn crossed his arms and confirmed.
"But have you ever wondered how long you can live if I die?" Han Xiufeng asked as he stared at him.
"It doesn't matter if Xu can live for a long time, the important thing is that Master Han can't survive." Thinking that he could finally wipe out the three enemies, Xu Lequn was happy for a while, and couldn't help laughing: "To tell you from the heart, it is really not easy for you to serve the imperial court, Master Han. If Xu hadn't gone to Yangzhou to rescue the two brothers, I am afraid that this revenge would not have been avenged in this life. ”
"What do you mean?"
"It's really providential to say, Xu wanted to rescue the two fellow villagers who were planted in the hands of Second Young Master Zhang, and the Yunsi Yamen was all up and down, but he killed a Master Xu halfway, his old man was selfless and selfless, and he didn't give accommodation, so Xu worked in vain. Just when he was disheartened, Xu accidentally saw Su Jueming. I don't know if I don't investigate, I was surprised when I investigated, it turned out that Master Han, you knew the news of the Taiping bandits going down the river since the first month, and began to prepare for how to deal with it. ”
"And then you came to Taizhou?"
"Almost."
"As for it?" Han Xiufeng asked with a smile.
Xu Lequn's face changed, and two words popped out from between his teeth: "As for!" ”
Li Xiucai realized that Xu Lequn would not only not let go of Han Xiufeng and Zhang Guangcheng, but also would not let go of his family, and exclaimed: "Crazy! Master Han, Master Xu is crazy, he is also crazy, he is a madman! ”
"Mr. Li, this is not out of the city yet, it is not good for Master Xu to hear these words." Han Xiufeng looked back at Li Xiucai, then turned around and smiled: "I don't know if Master Xu is crazy or not, but Mr. Xu must not be crazy." Even if you go crazy, this official can cure it. ”
"Dare to ask Master Han, how should Xu's madness be cured?" Xu Lequn asked without humility or arrogance.
Xu Xiuqun showed all the hole cards, Han Xiufeng was not as worried as before, thinking that although he was cheated, it was not difficult to clean him up, so he didn't bother to answer his question, but turned back and said: "Lu Daming, Liang Liu, escort Mr. Li's family out of the city." ”
"Yes!"
"Master Han, that nightborn will go first, and Wansheng will wait for you on the boat." Li Xiucai didn't want to stay by Xu Lequn's crazy side for a moment, so he hurriedly picked up the child.
Han Xiufeng looked at Xu Lequn with a smile, and said without looking back: "Don't wait, go back to Fu'an directly, and after you go back, find a place to settle your sister-in-law and children first, and then do what you should do." ”
Li Xiucai was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, and suddenly he was not as scared as before, so he couldn't help but turn around and said: "Mr. Xu, you have no interest in your later life, and you are not your opponent of Mr. Xu, but don't forget that there is an old saying that a strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, and there is an old saying that a monk who can run can't run the temple!" ”
"You dare!" Xu Lequn suddenly realized why Han Xiufeng let Li Xiucai go back to Fu'an, and realized that Li Xiucai was a person who could do anything like him.
"Whether you dare or not, we'll see."
"Stop him, dare to escape!" Xu Lequn gave an order, and the few officials who followed immediately surrounded him, and one of them subconsciously pulled out the oxtail knife.
Lu Daming and Liang Liu reacted extremely quickly, and quickly drew their knives to protect Li Xiucai's family.
"What are you doing, pulling out a knife in front of your own officials, do you want to commit it?" Han Xiufeng motioned to Pan Er and Ji Da to send Li Xiucai's family away, and said coldly: "Mr. Li is the official's friend, and the official asked Mr. Li to go out on an errand!" If you don't put down the knife quickly, do you want to make a mess! ”
"Mr. Xu......" The official who took the lead ran out of ideas for a while.
Zhang Guangcheng, who had been silent, wanted to clean up Xu Lequn, so he looked up coldly and asked, "Do you want to die?" ”
Several officials were all transferred from Xinghua by Xu Laogui, Xinghua was very close to Taizhou, and the officials who took the lead not only recognized Zhang Guangcheng but also knew that Zhang Guangcheng was Zhang Zhigao's second son. Thinking of Zhang Zhigao not only did not die, but is still the main hall of Taizhou, and Xu Lequn just donated a salt merchant who wore it, he hurriedly put down the knife and said with a bitter face: "Master Han, second young master, little one...... Small ......"
Xu Lequn was anxious: "What are you afraid of, this is not out of Taizhou City yet, how did Mr. Hu explain to you?" ”
"Who is Mr. Hu?" Han Xiufeng asked rhetorically, stepped forward and said: "Mr. Xu, don't embarrass these brothers, don't think that you are an official if you spend some money to donate a crown, and don't think that you can use a chicken feather as an arrow, and it is not your turn to give orders in Taizhou." ”
"If you are not convinced, you can go to the yamen to report to Master Xu." Zhang Guangcheng glared at him fiercely, then turned around and walked out of the city with a few family members who had just arrived.
Han Xiufeng smiled, motioned to Lu Daming and Liang Liu to put away their knives and throw him away.
"You dare to disobey, you ...... You wait for me! Xu Lequn never thought that Han Xiufeng would let Li Xiucai return to Fu'an, and he didn't expect that as soon as he walked out of the state office, Han Xiufeng and Zhang Guangcheng were no longer afraid of Old Ghost Xu, so they were so angry that they pointed at a group of officials and gritted their teeth.
Li Changjing had long looked at him unpleasantly, and after listening to him for a long time, he figured out what kind of character he was, and couldn't help patting his arm: "The surname is Xu, you are indeed smart, but unfortunately it is all a little smart." It may be okay for a Diao people like you to hide in the dark and play in the shadows, but if you want to enter the house and play with us, you are far behind! I don't even understand the rules of officialdom, and I dare to play a big knife in front of us, how different is it from a clown who jumps off the beam, it's ridiculous! ”
