On the main seat in the living room of the Five Cities Terracotta Division sat a man of about forty years old, medium height, square face, and wearing a blue casual dress.

On the guest seat sat a man about fifty years old, tall, long-faced, and dressed in gray casual clothes.

The tall man looked cautious and asked the man sitting on the main seat: Commander Xu, is there any news about my brother's affairs?

Commander Xu said lightly: Brother Ma, your brother's promotion to deputy general, Xu has reported to the Ministry of War more than ten days ago, and the date should be approved, the reason why the approval has not yet come down to our Department of Soldiers and Horses may be because the death of Lord Shangshulong of the Ministry of War has been delayed, and the current Shangshu of the Ministry of Recruits has already arrived, I think it will be a matter of the past few days.

Hearing this, the tall man thought for a while and asked: Commander Xu, do I need to go to the military department to spend some money?

Commander Xu hurriedly waved his hand and said: Brother Ma, no need, I have already taken care of everything that should be done.

Hearing this, the tall man made a look of no more than one and said: How can I make Commander Xu spend so much money, and how much money he spent, I will pay for this money.

Hearing this, Commander Xu hurriedly waved his hand and said: No, no, who of the two of us is the same as whom, isn't it the same as mine that spends yours.

The tall man hurriedly said: How can it be done, how can I let Commander Xu break the fee for doing things below, I must pay for this money.

After that, he reached out and took out a silver ticket from his arms and handed it to the commander Xu: This is three thousand taels of silver, I don't know if it is enough?

Commander Xu hurriedly pushed the tall man's hand back and said: Don't, don't, Brother Ma, please take it back.

The tall man put the silver ticket in his hand on the table next to him and said: Commander Xu, I know that this bit of silver must not be enough, but I have brought so much today, please take the lead in accepting it, and then ask the housekeeper to send three thousand taels of silver tickets to Commander Xu when I go back later.

Commander Xu immediately put on a serious look: Why did Brother Ma say this, let's ------

Before he could finish speaking, he saw two soldiers barging in with Xue Liang, who had been beaten up.

Xu Guochang jumped up from the chair in shock and asked urgently: Xue Liang, what's wrong with you, why did you become like this?

When Xue Liang saw Commander Xu like a child seeing his mother, he cried loudly, crying and shouting: Brother-in-law, I was beaten, avenge me.

Hearing this, Xu Guochang was furious: What, you were beaten!

Then he raised his hand and slapped it on the table and asked: Who is so bold that he dares to beat the officers who maintain public order in Kyoto, who is against the sky?

Xue Liang said: It was the dog prefect of Kaifeng Mansion who beat me, brother-in-law, you must not let him go, immediately send troops to surround Kaifeng Mansion, arrest that dog prefect and punish him, remove his official, and let him go to prison.

Hearing this, Xu Guochang was shocked: What, the new prefect of Kaifeng Mansion beat you, how could he beat you? Why did he beat you?

Xue Liang said: Just now I took 300 soldiers back to the barracks after the drill, and when I passed by the helm of the Shenquan Gang, I saw that the people of Kaifeng Mansion had arrested Jiang Gongshun, the leader of the Shenquan Gang, and the leader of the Jiang Gang was my friend, I couldn't ignore it, so I ordered my 300 soldiers to surround the people of Kaifeng Mansion and let them release them.

Later, the dog prefect brought a group of people, and their people were strong in martial arts, and they broke up our people and arrested me, and the dog prefect said that I had accepted bribes from the Jiang gang leader, hindered them in handling cases, and interfered with their official duties, so he ordered his men to beat me with forty flat burdens on the street, and beat me like this. Brother-in-law, avenge me.

After hearing this, Xu Guochang's face turned pale with anger, and he raised his hand and slapped it heavily on the table and scolded Xue Liang angrily: You bastard who doesn't have long brains, why are you going to provoke that madman, who do you think you are, the emperor today, the official of the king is not much older than you, just because he provoked that madman, his son was beaten up by stink, and dozens of young women in the house were robbed, or the queen mother personally came forward to say peace, and the king minister paid another 100,000 taels of silver before he asked for the woman who was robbed by him. Xu Tinghua, the official residence of Xu Tinghua, the secretary of the Criminal Department, was also beaten by him because he provoked this madman, and then he was dismissed by the emperor and imprisoned in prison.

After that, he pointed at Xue Liang with his hand and said: Your brother-in-law and I are just a military attache of the third grade, you asked me to transfer troops to arrest that madman, do you also want me to follow in the footsteps of Wang Xiang and Xu Tinghua.

It seems that Xue Liang blew up his brother-in-law's official son in front of Li Yinglong.

Hearing this, the tall man exclaimed: God! Why is this prefect so domineering.

After that, he said in a skeptical tone: As far as I know, although the prefect of Kaifeng Mansion is a little bigger, it is just a positive third grade, Wang Xiang and Xu Shangshu are both first-class members of the court, and he is a third-grade prefect who dares to rob the woman in the prime minister's mansion and beat the first-grade Shangshu, isn't this the following crime, why didn't the emperor punish him?

Xu Commander said: Brother Ma, do you know that the new prefect of Kaifeng Mansion is different from the ordinary prefect, he is a small official with great power, and he has the right to cut first and then play.

The tall man said: The original Kaifeng Mansion Bao Governor's Mansion, the emperor gave three copper guillotins, and he also had the right to cut first and then play, and it was also a second grade, but even the Bao Governor didn't dare to do it.

Xu Tongdao: I heard that this madman prefect is not the same as the original Bao prefect, it seems to be a non-grade official, before he was a no-grade prefect in Luoyang, it is said that he is a first-level official who sees an official, and what is more terrible is that he has a jade plate given by the queen mother in his hand, which has great power, the right to transfer troops, the right to cut first and then play, and the right to appoint and dismiss officials.

Hearing this, the tall man nodded: No wonder he is so domineering, he is the biggest lord besides the current emperor and his official, what else does he dare not do.

Xue Liang cried and said: Brother-in-law, hearing you say this, didn't I suffer this beating in vain?

Xu Guochang glared at him fiercely and said: It's good that the madman didn't kill you.

After that, he was stunned for a moment, and then said suspiciously: Yes, why didn't he order you to be killed, when he was the magistrate of Luoyang, he didn't have the approval of the Criminal Department, and he executed dozens of prisoners at one time, I heard that the son of the king of Luoyang, Zhao Xiaowangye, also died in his hands, and your behavior this time is indeed to obstruct and interfere with other people's handling of the case, and you are the military attache in charge of public security in Kyoto, which is called knowing the law and committing a crime, and he has every reason to behead you on the street.

Xue Liang said: The dog prefect said that it was for the sake of your brother-in-law that he spared me.

Hearing this, Xu Guochang's face showed surprise: Why, he spared you for the sake of my face, so he knows me.

Xue Liang said: It should be, or how would he say it for the sake of his brother-in-law's face.

Hearing this, Xu Guochang nodded but didn't say anything, but he could see that he was very proud.

Xue Liang asked: Brother-in-law, what should I do?

Xu Guochang said: Go back to recuperate, what else can I do.

Zhao Ying was walking along a street with Brother Ning, Fat Ball and ten girls in white, but met Shi Yao who was walking towards him.

Shi Yao saw Zhao Ying running over happily and said, "Sister, it's you, are you back?"

When she found out that Zhao Ying had lost a lot of weight, she exclaimed: Sister, why did you lose weight like this, are you sick?

Hearing this, Zhao Ying glared at Shi Yao: I have so many diseases, and I was angry with that scoundrel.

Shi Yao was surprised: Sister, do you mean being angry with Ying Long, oh, no, by my master? But my sister hasn't come back for a long time, why is Master angry with you?

Zhao Yingdao: I was run away by that scoundrel, I ------ it, I can't say it in a sentence or two, I have something to do now, I don't have time to talk to you, I will talk about it when I have time in the future.

After that, he pulled his legs and left.

Shi Yao grabbed her and asked, "Sister, what are you going to do?"

Brother Ning answered: Go to the flat people.

Fat ball adds: Go to flatten those dads who are disobedient and do bad things.

Hearing this, Shi Yao was stunned and said: Bianren, who is Bian?

Zhao Yingdao: I don't have a target yet, I'm looking for it now.

Seeing Shi Yao looking at her with surprised eyes, he added: That's the case, that scoundrel led the team to go without telling me

The nest of the eight gangs in Kyoto, such a lively thing didn't let me participate, I was angry, so I took people out to find something to do by myself, I don't believe it, such a big capital, just the eight gangs, maybe there is still a ninth gang, the tenth gang, anyway, idle is idle, look for it.

Hearing this, Shi Yao smiled, and then said excitedly: Sister, I'm also panicking, I'll join you too.

Zhao Ying waved her hand very simply: Okay, let's go together.

So they went on their way.

Li Yinglong led people to escort the two heads of the White Tiger Gang and the Shenquan Gang and dozens of their disciples to the gate of the mansion.

A guard at the door reported to him: Your Excellency, Kou Xiang and Marshal Yang have come to find your lordship.

Li Yinglong hurriedly asked: What about them?

The official said: I went into the house, maybe in the living room.

Li Yinglong pointed at Jia Yunfei and Jiang Gongshun with his hand, and ordered a fast catcher: Zhang Tou, escort these two bullshit gang leaders to the lobby and kneel, and put all their minions in the prison for me to be disposed of.

Zhang Tou replied: Yes, my lord.

After giving the order, Li Yinglong walked towards the gate.

Kou Xiang and Yang Liulang were drinking tea in the living room and chatting with the black-headed tuo, Li Yinglong walked in from outside, and the two hurriedly stood up from their seats.

Kou Xiang smiled and asked: Lord Li is back?

Yang Liulang said: Lord Li's actions are really fast, just do it.

Li Yinglong smiled: Why, you all know it.

Kou Xiangdao: Your gatekeeper told us when we entered the door.

Li Yinglong said to the two: Sit, sit, sit down and say.

The three sat down on three chairs.

Li Yinglong asked: There must be something important about the two big men visiting together, right?

Kou Xiangdao: It's still a matter of King Luoyang's rebellion.

Yang Liulang said: To be exact, it is to solve the evil forces from the rivers and lakes of the King of Luoyang who came to Master Li to find a way.

Hearing this, Li Yinglong was strange: What, find me a way?

Suddenly, he seemed to understand something, looked at the black-headed tuo who was drinking on the side, and then said angrily: It won't be another bad idea given by you, an old bastard.

After that, he said to the two: You should look for him, he is known as one of the four peerless masters of the northern and southern martial arts.

Hearing this, the black head glared at him: What are you looking for, of course you are looking for you, you are now a strong soldier, there are hundreds of first-class masters under your command, and the fourteen major sects of the Central Plains martial arts are all revolving around you, you are already the masters of these sects, and even the core of the government. Even my old man listens to your orders, and doesn't look for anyone you want.

Yang Liulang said: Yes, Master Li, don't shirk at this juncture when the country is in danger, and tell me your deployment.

Hearing this, Li Yinglong said: You listen to that old bastard talking nonsense, those hundreds of masters are his people, I just borrowed them.

The black head said: You are talking nonsense, these people are what you want from the wind Tiancheng, I am only responsible for training them, as for how to use it, it is your business, you are handsome, I am just a coach, so, you have to think about it, don't forget to inform my old man if you think about it.

With that, he stood up and staggered away.

Li Yinglong angrily scolded in the direction he was walking: Grandma Nimaganpi, why are you old bastard talking nonsense, when am I going to pass someone.

Yang Liulang suddenly slapped the table excitedly: I understand, these hundreds of masters trained by Elder Toutuo are actually used to deal with the part of the Jianghu power of the King of Luoyang, and there is also the full support of the Central Plains Martial Arts League, and the core of this batch of forces is you, Lord Li.

After speaking, he paused, and said in a sincere tone: Lord Li, for the sake of the country, you don't shirk it, take this responsibility.

Li Yinglong raised his hand and scratched his head and said: What is this, I haven't even thought about it in this matter, how can you make me responsible.
