Facts have proved how important it is to have a mouth that can speak well, after Xu Deshan talked to the soldier for a few words, and then secretly stuffed a piece of silver to the soldier, the soldier was moved by Xu Deshan's words, saw that no one was paying attention, and said, "This son, we don't know exactly what is going on, we only know that a few days ago, in the pacification embassy, I sent a document to the various government offices, with your name and appearance written on it, and asked the government offices to do their best to find it, if you find it, you must not be told to run away, and you will be sent to the pacification embassy. But there is no reason written in this official document, and we don't know, and we don't dare to ask. ”

Xu Deshan listened, and his heart was half relieved, since this official document was sent from Jia Changchao, then he was probably fine, but what the hell was going on, as soon as he arrived at the Daimyo's Mansion, Jia Changchao knew that he was coming, and he wanted this yamen to come to him, it was really a little weird, what was there in it, so I had to wait until I saw Jia Changchao.

Just thinking about it, the carriage came to a yamen, and after stopping, someone went to report, and the other people looked at Xu Deshan deadly, for fear that Xu Deshan would run away at the last moment, but the people inside went in layer by layer, and waited for a while, but saw Jia Changchao himself, wearing civilian clothes and panicking, shouting, "Where is Xu Deshan, where is Xu Deshan!" ”

Oh, Jia Changchao, the former second minister, and now the head of the road, would do such a graceless thing, which is simply a difference. Xu Deshan saw it in the carriage, and hurriedly got out and said, "Master Jia, the kid is here." ”

Looking at that Jia Changchao again, a lot of age, after seeing Xu Deshan, he walked like flying, walked to Xu Deshan in a few steps, grabbed Xu Deshan, and said, "You kid, where did you go, do you know that I am looking for you very hard." ”

Xu Deshan said strangely, "I came to look for you from Gaoyang, why did you find me instead?" ”

Jia Changchao was stunned for a moment and said, "Okay, okay, you're fine, it's not a place to talk, come, let's go to the house and talk in detail." ”

After Jia Changchao finished speaking, he and Xu Deshan held hands and walked forward together, so that the soldiers who were facing Xu Deshan's sword and soldiers in the back looked at Xu Deshan's eyes wide, and regretted it, reflecting on whether he was too rude to Xu Deshan, whether Xu Deshan would hold grudges, etc., among them, there were those in charge, and quickly ran back to the Soldiers and Horses Division to report to the chief of the soldiers and horses.

Besides, Jia Changchao and Xu Deshan, with a posture that made Jia Changchao's wife and concubine jealous, came to the study, after sitting down, took out his best tea for Xu Deshan, Xu Deshan picked up the tea bowl, took a sip, and said, "This tea is full of aroma, fragrant and delicious, tastes like sweet rain, fragrant like orchid cinnamon, fragrant and fragrant, tea fragrant, really good tea." ”

Jia Changchao said happily, "I didn't expect you to be able to taste tea at such a young age, and you are really a genius in the sky." ”

Xu Deshan said, "I won't, I'm just complimenting two sentences, saying that when the two meet, they must always compliment each other." ”

When Jia Changchao heard this, he laughed and said, "It seems that you are safe and sound on this journey, but why did Gaoyang County send an official document saying that you are in danger and your whereabouts are unknown." ”

It turned out that Xu Deshan had already agreed with Wang Quanzao that day, and he wanted to go to the county seat to find Wang Quanzao to ask for an official letter and a horse, and then come to the Daimyo Mansion to find Jia Changchao, but Wang Quan had prepared everything early, waiting for Xu Deshan to come, waiting for Xu Deshan to come on the right, at first Wang Quanzao thought that Xu Deshan was delayed by something, or simply wanted to come at noon and rub his own meal, but until noon, Xu Deshan still did not show up, Wang Quanzao felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly sent someone to Xu's mansion to ask, As a result, when I arrived at Xu's Mansion, I found out that Xu Deshan left before dawn.

Based on his consistent trust in Xu Deshan, Xu Caizheng did not discipline Xu Deshan more, but now that it is okay, Xu Deshan went out and did not go to Wang Quanzao, where did he go, no one knew.

This is a very headache, although Xu Deshan is very powerful, and he often does things unexpectedly, but it is not a matter of going to the county to get an official document to find a horse to ride, Xu Deshan no matter what, he should not say goodbye, don't run away with anything, this kind of running, no matter how you look at it, I don't want to go out, but abscond.

Then, another possibility appeared in everyone's minds, Xu Deshan left the house before dawn, could it be that on the way to the county seat, he met robbers and robbers, what happened to him, Wang Quanzao contacted the black and white relationship in the city on the one hand, inquired about Xu Deshan's whereabouts, and on the other hand, organized personnel to check around.

Li He Bairui robbed and killed Xu Deshan in the grove, although he did it in a concealment, but he didn't expect a Xu Deshan to be able to set off such a big movement, the two of them hurriedly left some traces in the woods, these traces can't be seen by ordinary people, but in the eyes of those who often handle cases, these traces are enough to deduce something, and soon, someone saw the strangeness in the grove, and after searching in the grove, they found Gao Mang's body.

This discovery made everyone's hearts feel cold, Gao Mang came out with Xu Deshan, Gao Mang's task was to protect Xu Deshan's safety, but now Gao Mang was injured and died, someone must have robbed and killed Gao Mang halfway, and Gao Mang died, although no

Xu Deshan's body was found, but Xu Deshan is a child, where can he run alone.

At this time, Xu Caizheng expected the best result, which had become a premeditated kidnapping, and there were robbers who heard about Xu Deshan's reputation and secretly plotted to kidnap Xu Deshan and plot to save Xu Deshan's life. It's terrible to be afraid of robbing and killing Xu Deshan, it is a group of robbers passing by, traveling at night, seeing Xu Deshan dressed richly, and then improvizing, killing people and robbing money, and quietly running away afterwards, if this is the case, then Xu Deshan's life is in danger.

After waiting for a while, Liu Mengchen and other people with some underworld connections also sent people to actively contact the surrounding mountains, but these mountain kings said that this matter had nothing to do with them, and there was no useful clue found at the scene, and then there was no clue about this matter.

Xu Caizheng is naturally the most panicked, but the literati, usually the status is respected and respected, but when something really happened, Xu Caizheng found that he was waiting for Wang Quanzao's news, and he couldn't do anything else, and Wang Quanzao was also anxious in his heart, although Xu Deshan was just a civilian on the surface, but civilians and civilians are also different, this person who can be on an equal footing with Jia Changchao is so missing, and when the time comes, the above asks, how can he be the county order.

Wang Quanzao thought about it and felt that this matter was very difficult to do, judging from the on-site investigation and subsequent efforts, even if he had done his best, he had not been able to get a trace of news from Xu Deshan, so this matter, with his own ability, I am afraid that it could not be solved, and since he couldn't solve it himself, then he had to let someone with greater power take care of it, such as Zhizhou Liu Xian, even if Liu Xian had no way, at least this matter was reported, Jia Changchao blamed it, and he would not be responsible alone.

Thinking of this, Wang Quanzao immediately wrote a letter to Liu Xian to report the case, and after writing, after thinking about it, he picked up the pen and wrote a letter to Jia Changchao, in which he did not ask Jia Changchao to do anything, but just said this matter in detail.

In fact, Wang Quanzao and Jia Changchao are not relatives, so it is a bit ultra vires to write a letter rashly, but how to say it, Xu Deshan was missing on the way to find Jia Changchao, and what Jia Changchao wants to say is a major matter of governing the Yellow River, from which point of view, this is also official business, and Jia Changchao is related, of course, even if Xu Deshan has not left Gaoyang County, it is not on the way to work, as long as he goes out of the house, even if it is official business, this matter, write a letter directly to Jia Changchao, there is also some truth.

In this way, a letter was sent directly to Jia Changchao, in fact, Jia Changchao is busy now, and now it is summer, which is the critical period of flood control, and Jia Changchao is a person who is willing to do something practical for the people, and is willing to do it himself, so it takes half a day to check the official documents sent from various places every day, plus other things, there is almost no time to eat.

Think about it, Wang Quanzao is just the magistrate of a county, and the entire Hebei Road has twenty-four states, the fourteenth army, and several counties in each state, if every county magistrate writes a letter to Jia Changchao, then where can Jia Changchao see it, so when this letter was sent to Jia Changchao here, it took a lot of effort to ask Jia Changchao to see it, and Jia Changchao was dizzy when he was looking at the official document, and suddenly saw this letter, which was from Gaoyang County, and knew that it was about Xu Deshan, and he was a little happy, and said that Xu Deshan still had some conscience, I can still remember myself as an old man, maybe there are some novel ideas in the letter he came, and he can bring some new ideas to himself.

But when Jia Changchao opened the letter and saw that it was Xu Deshan who wanted to come to him for the matter of governing the Yellow River, but something happened, his entourage was killed, and his whereabouts were unknown.

To say that Jia Changchao and Xu Deshan, there is only one side, but they chatted very happily, Jia Changchao admires Xu Deshan's talent very much, as if he has forgotten the year, and now Xu Deshan suddenly disappeared in order to govern the Yellow River, Jia Changchao was impatient, and hurriedly ordered Hebei Province, all states and prefectures, to find Xu Deshan's whereabouts, but Jia Changchao thought about it, and this order was still not issued.

Jia Changchao is a gentleman, a very upright gentleman, although Jia Changchao has a friendship with Xu Deshan, but that's all, in addition, Xu Deshan has no official position, just an ordinary person, at most he is just smarter, there are countless people in Hebei, if he mobilizes all the power of the state capital in order to find Xu Deshan, it is obvious that there is some public and private indistinguishable, and the grievances are not clear, and now is the critical time for flood control, all go to find people, do you want to do flood control work, If there is a problem in flood control work because of this incident, it will not be because of a small mistake.

Jia Changchao thought about it again, Xu Deshan also disappeared in order to govern the Yellow River, if he didn't care about it, it was not appropriate, so he thought about it, and wrote a semi-formal official document, which was also unclear, only wrote Xu Deshan's name and hometown, and said that if he saw it, he brought Xu Deshan to himself, and the officials below looked confused, so the soldiers of the Terracotta Division forced Xu Deshan to get into the carriage with a knife and sent it to Jia Changchao.

Xu Deshan listened, and then he knew what happened, Xu Deshan understood in his heart, Jia Changchao was very anxious, and asked, "I'm like this here."

He has already said it, you can quickly tell me what is going on over there, how you came to this Daimyo's mansion. ”

Xu Deshan said, "Don't be in a hurry, with my ability, there is no danger along the way, but I came to you this time, but there is an urgent matter." ”

Jia Changchao said: "But the matter of the Yellow River? ”

Xu Deshan said, "No, it's more urgent than the Yellow River!" ”

Jia Changchao frowned and said, "The matter of the Yellow River is a national event, what could be more urgent than flood control, could it be that the Liao State has committed a border attack?" ”

Xu Deshan said, "I don't know how the Liao Kingdom is, but I only know that if you don't pay attention to this matter, I'm afraid you won't have to worry about the problems of the Liao Kingdom in the future." ”

Jia Changchao was puzzled: "What do you mean by this?" ”

Xu Deshan said, "In Hebei, there are Maitreya Buddhism rebellion, intending to rebel, if they succeed in rebellion and secede Hebei, the Great Song Dynasty will not border with Liao, and naturally there is no need to worry about Liao." ”

In China, from ancient times to the present, all the major events are lined up, and the rebellion is the biggest, even when there is a foreign invasion, we must pay attention to the first peace inside, and then the outside, we can compromise when the foreign tribe comes, we can cut the land, but the rebellion is absolutely not half room for relaxation.

Jia Changchao was taken aback, stood up from his chair all of a sudden, and asked loudly, "Xu Deshan, this kind of thing is very important, you don't want to talk nonsense." ”

Xu Deshan said, "I naturally dare to say this because I have evidence." ”

Jia Chang said, "If there is a rebellion, I don't have any news at all." ”

Xu Deshan said, "You live in a temple, how can you know the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and if you know about the rebellion, I'm afraid you would have exterminated that person a long time ago, where can I tell you." ”

After all, Jia Changchao had seen the big wind and waves, suppressed the surprise in his heart, sat down, and asked, "What happened, you tell me slowly." ”

Xu Deshan said, "Some time ago, I was teaching at home, and suddenly found that my grandmother went out early and returned late, and asked the servant, only to know that my grandmother was fascinated by a Maitreya Buddhism, and asked me to go, I went with my grandmother once, but the person who worshiped the Maitreya Buddha statue was a scoundrel Xu Niu in my township, who claimed to be the protector of Maitreya Buddhism. ”

Jia Changchao frowned and said, "That Buddhism was spread into China from the Han Dynasty, and it reached its peak during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. ”

Xu Deshan said, "I said Maitreya Buddhism, but not Buddhism, Buddhism pays attention to fraternity and tolerance, but this Maitreya Buddhism, but it is extremely cruel, you know how this Xu Niu became a Dharma protector, he was unintentionally, broke through Maitreya Buddhism to chase and kill the previous protector, was discovered, this is helpless to be the protector. ”

Jia Chang said, "Is that really the case? But even so, he is just killing people, how can you say that he is a rebel? ”

Xu Deshan said, "That Xu Niu was deceived by me, so he blackmailed me, asked me for a hundred taels of silver, and may have been bumped into by his Maitreya Buddhism, and was killed that night, I knew what happened, and knew that they must not let me go, and wanted to come to you to hide, but the next morning, I was stopped by two people, they killed Gao Mang, and I took the opportunity to escape. ”

Jia Changchao asked, "Can you run?" ”

Xu Deshan rolled his eyes and said, "You still can't listen to the story, you have to listen to the key points." ”

Jia Changchao said, "Okay, then you continue." ”

Xu Deshan said, "I was afraid of going home, even affecting my family, so I went all the way to the south, and then I got a letter, the owner of this letter, is also a believer in Maitreya Buddhism, I read the letter, only to know that this Maitreya Buddhism is very big, there is a rebellion, so I didn't stop, came to find you." ”

In order to cover up the process of killing Li He and Bai Rui, Xu Deshan made up a nonsense, but such an important character is obviously not so easy to ignore, Xu Deshan had to generalize the process and directly tell the result.

As a result of such an omission, Jia Changchao was confused, his face was full of suspicion, and he asked, "Are you sure what you said is true, how can I listen to it, it's a bit messy." ”

Xu Deshan said, "Where do I dare to talk nonsense about such an important matter, if there is a mistake in the military aircraft, if there is a big crime of copying the house, where can I bear it, not to mention that I have a letter as proof, you can see it at a glance." ”

Xu Deshan said, took out the letter and handed it to Jia Changchao, Jia Changchao took the letter, didn't open it for a long time, and asked seriously, "Xu Deshan, I asked you one last time before reading the letter, are you sure what you said is true, if you just cheated you out of a hundred taels of silver for them, vented your personal anger, and made it up, it would be a big crime to kill your head." If you admit now that what you said is false, I will not read this epistle when you joke with me, how about it? ”

Xu Deshan said, "The letter is here, I will read it if I believe it, and if I don't believe it, I will not read it. ”
