Chapter 284: Driving the Tiger and Devouring the Wolf
Didn't Xu Lequn donate a positive five-grade top, how did he become a doctor in Fengzheng!
Han Xiufeng was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, it should be that the imperial court did not receive the silver donated by him as it is, and only received 20%, he Xu Lequn is naturally not an alternate official, so he cannot be commensurate with the same official title of alternate Tongzhi or alternate state, but can only be commensurate with the title of Wensan official of the corresponding grade. Zhang Guangcheng became a "cultivator", and "cultivator" is the name of the official of the eighth grade, it can be seen that he also pledged to donate, but the amount of money donated was not as much as that of Xu Lequn.
But now is not the time to think about this, Han Xiufeng calmed down, squeezed out the crowd and walked quickly into the lobby.
"Hai'an inspection Han Xiufeng meets Master Xu!"
"Excuse me," Xu Ying looked up at Li Changjing, Xu Lequn and others who were about to visit, and said with a gloomy face: "Don't bow down to a few of you, I just received a report that Jiangning City is broken, and Lu Zhitai is martyred!" Regardless of whether this news is true or not, we will race against time and seize time with the bandits to strengthen the defense of the city. ”
Lu Jianying is so greedy for life and afraid of death, how could he be martyred?
Han Xiufeng felt that this news was eighty percent false, and at least Lu Jianying, the governor of Liangjiang, was unlikely to die for the imperial court.
Li Changjing and Zhang Guangcheng, who had just been dismissed yesterday, were secretly frightened, so frightened that their legs trembled involuntarily, and they didn't know what old ghost Xu had come up with and how to toss them.
Fang Shimei was suffering from gains and losses, not only worried that the Taiping bandits would kill him, but also felt that this was not an opportunity to fill the vacancy. Xu Lequn was the most calm, not only did he not panic at all, but even peeked at Han Xiufeng and Zhang Guangcheng's reactions.
Xu Ying didn't have time and didn't bother to care about what grievances there were between them, so he picked up the shocking wood and patted the public case: "Han patrol, compiling and training Xiangyong and transferring Xiangyong to Taizhou to defend the city, the official thought about it all night, and finally had a charter, first, there are more than 100 Xiangyong is too few, after you go back, you will use the current three regiments of Xiangyong as the backbone to quickly compile and train another 400!" ”
"Yes!" Han Xiufeng thought to himself that you have a charter, and I will follow your charter.
"Listen to what the official has to say." Xu Ying took out a stack of official documents and said coldly: "According to your report, there are three regiments of Hai'an, Qutang, and Baimi, with a total of more than 150 villagers. If another 400 are trained, it will be a battalion of village warriors. If the name is not right, the battalion will be called the Taizhou battalion, and you will also serve as the battalion officer. ”
"Yes!"
"Brother Li, I bother you to help with the camp affairs and assist Han in patrolling and compiling. There are family members with them, and no family members are left alone. As for your family members, rest assured. The official will send someone to take them to the government office later, and the cheap ones will help take care of them. ”
Li Changjing didn't expect Old Ghost Xu to be so ruthless, so he couldn't help but arch his hand and said: "Master Xu, the lower official doesn't understand military affairs, and the lower official is worried that he will miss your big thing, Master Xu." ”
"It's not for you to lead the troops to fight, it's just for you to help with the camp. If you want to atone for your sins, you will give the official a good assistance to Han Patrol and train Xiangyong. If you don't care about the overall situation anymore, and then don't know how to lift, don't blame the official for sending you to Yangzhou! ”
Li Changjing secretly thought that Yangzhou would soon become a dead place like Jiangning, and there might be a glimmer of life if he stayed in Taizhou, so he hurriedly said: "The lower officials are willing, and the lower officials are willing to help with the camp affairs." ”
"It's pretty much the same," Xu Ying snorted coldly, and then looked at Zhang Guangcheng and said: "Zhang Xian's nephew, I also bother you to help with the camp affairs, so that the Venerable Official will help you take care of it, and your family members will also help take care of it." As long as the official has a breath of air, they will be safe. If the official is martyred by his family, then he will bother the virtuous nephew to help Lord Lingzun handle the funeral, and also help the official and the official's family to collect the corpse. ”
The whole family was under house arrest in the inner house, what else could Zhang Guangcheng say, he could only stubbornly say: "Why did Master Xu say this, if you and your father are martyred, how can Guangcheng survive, if you want to die together, Guangcheng vows to live and die with Taizhou!" ”
"Okay, one is going to die together!" Xu Ying nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at Xu Lequn: "Three, let me introduce, this is Mr. Xu Lequn, Mr. Xu understands the righteousness, and stands up at this critical moment of life and death, and is willing to serve the imperial court, and the official is deeply grateful." Mr. Xu was specially invited to help with the camp and raise food and salary for the Taizhou camp. ”
"I have seen Master Han, Master Li, and Second Young Master in my later life." Xu Lequn bowed as if he didn't recognize the three of them.
Han Xiufeng finally understood Xu Lequn's sinister intentions.
What a plan to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf!
To be exact, to drive two gobblewolves who were forced to hurry!
Xu Lequn was afraid that he Han Xiufeng and Zhang Guangcheng would not die, so he actually came up with the ghost idea of asking Xu Ying to detain Zhang Guangcheng and Li Changjing's home*** Zhang Guangcheng and Li Changjing helped Xu Ying to be the prison army.
Zhang Guangcheng is a filial son, and although Li Changjing is greedy for life and afraid of death, it is impossible to ignore the safety of the family. And one is the second son of the eldest master of Zhizhou, and the other is just dismissed, but Yu Wei is still there. If anyone dares to disrespect the order and not save them when they see death, they want to take the power of the township Yongying camp easily, and they will even tie up the people who violate the order and disrespect and do not save them when they see death to punish Xu Laogui.
Thinking of this, Han Xiufeng realized that he had underestimated Xu Lequn too much before, stared at Xu Lequn's hand and returned the salute, and said unceremoniously: "Mr. Xu, I didn't expect you and I to have this day together." As the saying goes, don't do porcelain work without diamonds, you should do this errand assigned by Master Xu, then the future food and salary of the Taizhou camp will depend on Mr. Xu. If there is a villager who has no food to eat, even if he can't eat enough, don't blame the official military law for serving! ”
"Master Han, don't worry, if the food is not enough, someone is the only one to ask."
"Inspector Han, do you know Mr. Xu?" Xu Yingpi asked with a smile.
"Master Xu, not only the lower officials recognize Mr. Xu, but also the second young master Zhang, and even the soap subordinate archers in the lower official yamen. If it weren't for the lack of evidence, you could only let Mr. Xu leave calmly, and even Master Xu, you would have recognized Mr. Xu very early. ”
"If there is no evidence, how can you say this?"
"On the night of the first month of the first month, the lower officials seized a batch of illegal salt, and the second young master Zhang also led the officials to seize a batch of young people, and also captured a lot of private lords, several of whom happened to recognize Mr. Xu."
Xu Ying didn't bother to care about the grievances between them, thinking that no matter how big the villain Xu Lequn was, he didn't deal with the thieves and bandits, so he said lightly: "If you want to say that you know it, there are not 1,000 but 800 traitors who know this official, could it be that this official is also their comrade?" Since there is no evidence, Mr. Xu is innocent. ”
Han Xiufeng clenched his fists and gritted his teeth: "Master Xu, you said that Mr. Xu is innocent, then Mr. Xu is innocent!" ”
Dare to contradict!
It's not going to live anymore!
The few soaps on duty were startled, and they all sweated for Han Xiufeng.
However, Xu Ying was not angry, but felt that the inspection in front of him from a donation background was not only usable, but also useful! I thought there was nothing wrong with being young and vigorous, jealous and hateful. As for the vicious villain surnamed Xu, it should be used the same. At present, let him be proud for a few days, as long as he can defend the city, it is not a matter of words to do anything with him in the future.
The top priority is to train the township brave, Xu Ying didn't dare to delay any longer, and suddenly his face turned straight: "Han Patrol, how should this battalion and township brave be arranged, the official's charter is clearly written, you follow it." Then the white rice is too far away from Taizhou, and after going back, quickly summon the three regiments that have been organized and trained to move to Jiangyan, and the food and salary are raised by Mr. Xu, and the spears and short knives and other weapons will be sent by the official to send some people who are not enough in the past, and you have to bother you to think of a way. ”
Baimi is sixty miles away from Taizhou, and Jiangyan is about forty miles away from Taizhou, although there is only a difference of twenty miles, but these twenty miles are really important to the current Xu Lao Ghost.
Han Xiufeng didn't dare to bargain on this matter, in fact, he couldn't bargain on other things, so he immediately gave his hand and said, "The lower official obeys the order!" ”
"Fang Inspector, you go to Hai'an with Han Inspector. From today onwards, you will be the acting maritime security inspector. What to do after taking office, the official is also written in the charter, you follow the implementation is, if there is a delay, blame the official for being ruthless. ”
Hai'an is one hundred and forty miles away from Taizhou, and it is the safest place in Taizhou!
Fang Shimei was overjoyed and was about to bow down to receive the order, Xu Ying's words changed: "Fang Inspection, Master Li's family is in the state government, Zhang Zhizhou and this official are sitting in the state government, and Zhang Ergongzi's inner body and several children are also in the state government." You don't have to take your family to take office, the official will send someone to take them to the state government, and they will be taken care of by the lowly. ”
As soon as he heard that his family members were also going to be taken as hostages, Fang Shimei couldn't be happy, but he didn't dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction, so he could only secretly scold Old Ghost Xu for not dying well, and bow down to thank him.
Han Xiufeng was very glad that he didn't let Qin'er and Goudan come to Jiangsu to reunite, otherwise Qin'er and Goudan would have been held hostage by Old Ghost Xu like Li Changjing, Zhang Guangcheng and Fang Shimei's family. Thinking of receiving Li Xiucai's three thousand taels of silver at night, he arched his hand again and said, "Master Xu, do you have something to ask for?" ”
"What?"
"To train a battalion of township warriors before the Taiping bandits come to attack, the subordinates can't have a few capable people, and the subordinates want to be on an errand in the state government Li Xiucai, who has helped in the Hai'an Inspection Division, and the Fang Patrol also recognizes it."
A talent who is willing to degenerate to be a Xu official is really insignificant to Xu Ying, and said without thinking: "Let him go with you, you are busy next, and it is not good to have few competent people under him." ”
"Master Xie Xu is considerate."
"Thank you, I am, it's up to you to train the township. If there is any offense, the official will make amends in the future. ”
……
Han Xiufeng bowed down to receive the order, took a stack of old ghost Xu's "tricks" from the scribe's hand, and turned around as soon as he walked out of the state office and asked, "Mr. Xu, aren't you afraid that your ambition will die before you are paid?" ”
Xu Lequn pointed to the servants who were waiting at the side of the main shop, and said with a smile as he walked: "Xu Mou's cheap life was picked up, whether you believe it or not, Master Han, Xu Mou has already put life and death aside." However, Master Xu didn't want Xu to die, so he helped Xu pick six subordinates. ”
"I almost forgot, you are now a celebrity in front of Master Xu."
"Where is it, if you want to talk about the celebrity in front of Master Xu, you are Master Han." Xu Lequn looked back at Li Changjing, and said with a sympathetic face: "Master Li, it's not Xu who sow discord, even if you can find a recovery, Taizhou Prefecture will not be able to do it." This vacancy you vacated, Master Xu kept it for Master Han. In a few days, we will all have to call Master Han the second master! ”
Han Xiufeng didn't care if Li Changjing would be unhappy, but he still said coldly: "All this is not thanks to Mr. Xu. ”
"Xu Mou is helping Master Han to say a few kind words in front of Master Xu, in fact, it is not a good word, just telling the truth," Xu Lequn smiled, turned around and said: "Second Young Master, it was also proposed by Xu and Master Xu to let you help with the camp affairs. ”
