Xu Heguang hurriedly asked what was going on, Cui Xiang put away the letter, took out the velvet and lit the letter, and after it all turned into ashes, he smiled mysteriously, saying that it was a letter from the Prime Minister Hou, asking him to strangle Xia Xiang's career in Zhending, not to let Xia Xiang do anything in Zhending, and not to let Xia Xiang leave Zhending with his political achievements.

Xu Heguang was overjoyed, Xia Xiang offended the three princes in the capital, and after coming to Zhending, he wondered why there was no letter from the capital to let Cui Fuzun deal with Xia Xiang, and now he finally waited for the handwritten letter of the Prime Minister, and he could rest assured that he would boldly use all means to deal with Xia Xiang in the future. Xia Xiang has only been here for a few days, and what he has done has made him very bored and dissatisfied, and Hao Haiji is completely different from the previous Hao Haiji, Xia Xiang is a county lord who has an opinion on everything and will never be influenced by others, and it is almost impossible to influence Xia Xiang and let Xia Xiang be used by him.

Fortunately, fortunately, it's really good, with the handwritten letter of the Prime Minister Hou, Xia Xiang will not want to do whatever he wants in the future!

Thinking about it again, Xu Heguang couldn't help but laugh at him for being too hasty, Xia Xiang had only been in office for a few days, and today the capital sent a letter to inform him, which was fast enough.

Liu Changting and Xie Huagai were also overjoyed, not only did they look down on Xia Xiang's style, but they also resented Xia Xiang's overthrow of Wen Changju and offended the three princes in the capital, and they hated Xia Xiang's blackmail with Xu Wangshan and Ma Qingyuan. Now that there is a personal letter from the Prime Minister Hou, Xia Xiang is sure to be defeated.

Several people discussed it again, and agreed that Xu Wangshan and Ma Qingyuan wanted to keep the granary and grow grain, just to ask for a sky-high price. Now that the asking price can't be reached, it will be up to the two of them to end. Although Cui Xiang also agreed with Liu Xie and the others, he was still skeptical, and always felt that Xia Xiang's move had a deep meaning.

Liu Xie and the others said that no matter what Xia Xiang had a deep meaning, with the letter from the Prime Minister Hou, Cui Fuzun just let go to suppress Xia Xiang, no matter how powerful Xia Xiang was, under the rule of Zhending Mansion, he could not do anything.

Cui Xiang thought about it, that is, he didn't say anything more, but just told a few people to be careful and not let Xia Xiang catch the handle.

Then Liu Xie and the others said goodbye, and Xu Heguang talked to Cui Xiang about Dong Xian's murder. Cui Xiang is not very clear about who will be implicated behind Dong Xian's murder, but he has been up and down in officialdom for many years, and he instinctively thinks that Dong Xian's murder case should end here, and it is not appropriate to pursue it further. In the letter from Hou Xianggong, there was no mention of this case, which shows that the case did not reach the capital. He also believes that this case involves the city of Le County or the magistrate of the county at most, and it is not a big deal. However, Shile County is also under the jurisdiction of Zhendingfu, and if he really wants to fall into a county or a magistrate because of Dong Xian's case, he is also disgraced as a prefect.

The most important thing is that Pei Shuozhang of Lezhi County is the proud protégé of Hou Xianggong, and Hou Xianggong intends to promote Pei Shuozhang to be the servant of the ministry. Therefore, the performance appraisal of the first term of the city is very important.

Cui Xiang was going to leave a few people for dinner, Liu Xie and the others still had something to do, so they left and left, Xu Heguang had no intention of staying, and hurriedly returned to the county office. Hou Xianggong's handwritten letter is equivalent to Shang Fang's sword, if Xia Xiang knows the difficulty and returns it, if not, he can only meet with open guns and hidden arrows and swords.

Not only did Xia Xiang not have the slightest intention of backing down, but also said that it was not a long-term solution for Liu Changting and Xie Huagai to take over the granary and grain business, and the anger in Xu Heguang's heart could no longer be suppressed, and it was burning.

Xu Heguang didn't have a good face: "Xia Xianzun means that Liu Yuanwai and Xie Yuanwai will not be allowed to take over the granary and grain planting business?" Now that the autumn planting has passed, and the winter is about to begin, it is a good time to build a granary and reserve grain, if you miss the time, when it is cold and frozen, you can't build a granary, so you can only wait for the next spring to thaw and then build. Maybe there will be some worse ponds, and when the summer harvest and autumn planting time come, they have not yet been built, and the people have nowhere to borrow money to grow grain, and things will be tricky. Xia Xianzun is well-read, there is a golden house in the book, and Yan Ruyu in the book, but the book does not teach people how to farm. ”

How could Xia Xiang not hear that Xu Heguang's implication was to ridicule him for not understanding the way of farming, he took his hand and said: "Xu Xiancheng's words are very reasonable, but Liu Changting and Xie Huagai are disrespectful to the official, and they also slander the official and Xu Wangshan and Ma Qingyuan colluded to blackmail them for money. The official will take the initiative to plead guilty to Cui Fuzun, and then find someone else to take over the granary and grain planting business, and the consequences will be borne by the official alone. ”

Xu Heguang was stunned on the spot, he came to Xingshi to ask for guilt, he thought that bringing out Cui Fuzun and Hou Xianggong's handwritten letter was enough to make Xia Xiang die as soon as they met, but he didn't want Xia Xiang to not only give in, but to inch in, he was shocked, and his heart was even more angry: "Xia Xianzun, the granary and growing grain are not trivial, it is a matter of the new law, not a child's play!" In case something goes wrong, when the time comes, it will be investigated by the Xianggong, not only Xia County, but also Zhending County. Xia Xianzun implored Xia County to think twice. ”

Xia Xiang saw that Xu Heguang was full of expression, but smiled: "The official just said that the official will bear the consequences alone, and Xu Xiancheng doesn't have to worry about it." And the official has already found a good candidate, so he will not delay things. ”

Xu Heguang almost couldn't believe his ears, how could Xia Xiang find someone else to take over the granary and grain business in a blink of an eye, which one is this singing? His well-prepared rhetoric was disrupted by Xia Xiang's sudden knife, and he couldn't help but panic, if Xia Xiang really made up his mind to prevent Liu Changting and Xie Huagai from taking over, Cui Fuzun would have nothing to do. Even if Cui Fuzun participates in Xia Xiang's book, it will take a month before and after to be approved by the Prime Minister, and by then the matter has been settled and there is no return.

In a hurry, Xu Heguang said anxiously: "How can Xia Xianzun be like this? Liu Yuanwai and Xie Yuanwai have already begun to prepare for the construction of granaries and reserve grain, if they are not allowed to take over and spread the word, it will make the people laugh at the county government order and change the order, and it will damage the prestige of Xia County. ”

Xia Xiang saw that the foreplay was singing, so he took it a little: "That's right, but it's hard for the official to believe that Liu Yuanwai and Xie Yuanwai will think about the people, if the two of them set up a military order, the official will reluctantly not take back his order." ”

Xu Heguang gritted his teeth and thought about it, Xia Xiang really wanted to take back his life, no one could stop him, the current plan was better to take a step back first, let Xia Xiang be proud for a few days, and wait for Liu Changting and Xie Huagai to completely take over the granary and grain business, when the loan next year comes, everything will be up to Xia Xiang.

Xu Heguang turned his heart sideways: "How about the lower officials guarantee Liu Yuanwai and Xie Yuanwai?" ”

Just waiting for Xu Heguang's words, Xia Xiang deliberately hesitated for a while before saying: "It is rare that Xu County has a heart, and more than 100,000 people in Zhending County must remember Xu County's kindness." ”

Xu Heguang thought that he should not talk about more than 100,000 people in Zhending County at every turn, Zhending County is not your Xia Xiang's Zhending County, and you are not really thinking about the people of Zhending County, you are for your own official reputation and political achievements.

Xia Xiang's study has pen and ink, Xu Heguang wrote a letter of guarantee with a few brushstrokes, and after inscribed his name, he solemnly pressed his handprint. Xia Xiang watched coldly from the sidelines, as expected, for Liu Changting and Xie Huagai, Xu Heguang did not hesitate to go into battle shirtless to vouch, it can be seen that the relationship between Xu Heguang and Liu Changting and Xie Huagai is extremely close, and Cui Fuzun has repeatedly stood up for Liu Xie and the two, so it can be speculated that behind Liu Xie and the two, there must be a towering mountain that Cui Xiang and Xu Heguang look up to.

Although he didn't dare to rashly guess that the high mountains behind Liu Xie and the others were the third prince or the prince, Xia Xiang also knew in his heart that the third prince asked him to come to Zhending County as the magistrate, and he must have wanted him to be defeated in Zhending. At the moment, looking at Zhending Mansion and Zhending County, there are really not many people available around him. Needless to say, the prefect Cui Xiang is not only a member of the Cui family in Qinghe, but also a child of the family, and he must have a backer in the court, and it is no different whether he is the prime minister or the third prince. Nowadays, the court is completely the world of the prime minister and the three princes.

According to Lian Ruohan, the Cui family and the Lu family have always been good friends, and the relationship with the Zheng family and the Li family is average, and the Zheng family and the Li family have many intermarriages and have a close relationship. However, among the four families, you have me and I have you, and it cannot be simply divided by whether the relationship is good or bad. Generally speaking, the Cui and Lu families often have the same political views, and the Zheng and Li families help each other most of the time.

Nowadays, the four great families of Cui, Lu, Zheng and Li have come to Zhending, which shows that the land of Zhending is a treasure land. All parties compete for official positions and business, and he, as the true magistrate of the county, will inevitably be involved. It's a pity that he is single and weak, he has no backers in the court, and he has no friendship with the four great families, and he can't afford to climb the four princes, not to mention offending the three princes.

It is equivalent to saying that Xia Xiang is now trapped in the tiger's den of Longtan Tiger, no matter which side he favors, he will inevitably offend the other party. No matter which side he offends, it will be a serious consequence that he cannot afford.

After Xu Heguang left, Xia Xiang sat alone in the study and pondered for a long time. Although the matter was clear, there was still no solution. Fortunately, he has Xiao Wu and Mantuo by his side, as well as Lian Ruohan, and in the capital, there are Jin Jia and Cao Yongguo, and he is not alone.

Early the next morning, Xia Xiang went to see Lian Ruohan off. Lian Ruohan only asked Xia Xiang to be sent to the south of the Hutuo River Bridge, and did not let him cross the bridge to the north of the bridge. Xia Xiang was not reluctant, and said goodbye to Lian Ruohan.

Xia Xiang did not go back to the county government directly, but accompanied by Ding Ke, he watched the grand occasion of hundreds of boats salvaging the corpse with his own eyes.

Xia Xiang originally thought that it would be good for Ding Ke to requisition dozens of civilian boats at most, but he didn't want Ding Ke to be the head catcher, and he had a good relationship with many boatmen, so he said hello and actually requisitioned more than 100 civilian boats. The sizes are different, lined up on the Hutuo River, and the Hutuo River, which is not too narrow, is lined up to the brim.

The boatman at the head is named Lu Dongliang and is Lu Dongdong's cousin. When he heard that Xia Xianzun wanted to use the boat, he immediately spared no effort to greet all the boatmen who had a good relationship, and he alone found nearly 20 boats.

Xia Xiang nodded and praised: "Ding Zhutou has done a very good job, and he should make a great contribution." ”

Ding Ke was overjoyed, and arched his hand and said: "Thanks to Xia County's praise, it is a matter within the subordinate's responsibility, and it is not worth mentioning. ”

Xia Xiang nodded: "You can start." ”

Ding Ke took the flag in the hand of the official next to him, held it high, shook it from side to side a few times, and shouted: "Get off the net!" ”

With Ding Ke's order, hundreds of boats set out at once, and the three large nets that were made overnight were pulled by more than 100 boatmen of 100 boats, completely covering the surface of the Hutuo River. Three large nets entered the water at the same time, splashing countless splashes.

It was a fine autumn day, the sun was shining, and the people on both sides of the strait were full of onlookers. The people, who had never seen such a grand scene, suddenly let out an earth-shattering cheer, and the sound roared into the sky.

Xu Heguang did not stand beside Xia Xiang, but hid in the crowd. In front of him were Liu Changting and Xie Huagai.

Liu Changting pointed to the government office on the other side of the river with a fan in his hand: "Presumably, Cui Fuzun is also watching this earth-shattering farce in the government office." Xia Xianzun is really amazing, he has only been in office for a few days, and he tossed such a big one, and it is okay to catch Dong Xian's body, if he can't get it, not to mention the loss of labor and money, it has become a joke. ”

Xie Huagai laughed: "Xia County's newly promoted Jinshi served as the true magistrate of Zhending, which is a joke in itself. He doesn't have self-knowledge, he still wants to make a difference in Zhending County, and he wants to go against us, which is really beyond his means! ”

Xu Heguang smiled: "Xia Xianzun is young and vigorous, and it is human nature to want to make a difference, as an elder, we should treat him more." However, such a great joy is not the way to be an official. Cui Fuzun also said that if Dong Xian's body can be salvaged, it will be enough. If not, Cui Fuzun will write to the emperor, and Shenxia County will be a great joy and waste people's efforts, and then Xia County Zun will have a longer memory and be a little more cautious. ”

Xu Heguang's words sounded more euphemistic than Liu Xie's words, but in fact, the meaning of ridicule was stronger, and he regarded himself as an elder, which was a great disrespect to Xia Xiang.

After Xu Heguang finished laughing, he remembered something and asked: "Liu Yuanwai, Xie Yuanwai, this official has already guaranteed the granary and grain planting business for the two of you, don't let the official down, and don't fall into Xia County's respectful mouth." ”

Liu Changting and Xie Huagai looked at each other and smiled, Xie Huagai shook the Buddha beads in his hand, and said with a smile: "Xu Xiancheng don't have to worry, you and I are a family, and we should be self-centered." The granary and grain growing business were not only to share the worries of Cui Fuzun, but also to promote the new law, so that officials who opposed the new law would have nothing to say. Besides, Xie and Liu Yuan are really determined on the outside and shoulder heavy responsibilities, but they are not just for the sake of the gains and losses of one place. Xia Xiang's small Zhending Zhi County, his eyes are only on Zhending County, how can he compare with us? ”

Xu Heguang nodded again and again: "Xie Yuanwai and Liu Yuanwai, are they working for the Third Prince or for the Prime Minister Hou?" ”

The folding fan in Liu Changting's hand opened with a "bang", and now that the air is cool and breezy today, he still habitually fanned a few times: "Xu Xiancheng doesn't have to ask too much, you just need to know that the two of us have hands and eyes to the sky." You don't want to think about it, what is the difference between serving the third prince or doing things for the prime minister? ”

Xu Heguang smiled understandingly: "The official is too worried, too worried, haha." This official will definitely wholeheartedly assist Liu Yuanwai and Xie Yuanwai in the real big thing, and also ask the two of them to say a few good words in front of the third prince and the prime minister. ”

"Well said, well said." Xie Huagai put his hands behind his back, stood on his toes and looked at the situation in the river from afar, "Xu Xiancheng, Xia Xianzun has only been in Zhending County for a few days, don't worry, everything has just begun." In any case, the granary and grain business are in the hands of Xie and Liu Yuanwai, and when the loan is issued next year, Xia Xianzun will know that it is powerful. ”

Liu Changting was slightly taller than Xie Huagai and Xu Heguang, but he couldn't see the situation in the river clearly, there were too many people. He turned around and saw that a man behind him was stepping on a stool and was watching with relish, he quietly came behind the man, took out a copper coin, and threw it on the back of the man's head with a wave of his hand.

The man was in pain, covered his head with his hands, turned around and scolded: "Who doesn't throw me ...... with long eyes" His eyes fell on the copper coin on the ground, and suddenly lit up, jumped off the stool to grab the copper coin, but he was a step too late, and an old man behind him snatched the copper coin first.

"Give me back, my copper coins." The man stopped doing it, and grabbed the old man's collar forward, "Dare to rob me of my money, you don't want to live, do you?" ”

Not to be outdone, the old man said: "How can your money be smashed on the back of your head?" It's clearly someone else's money. ”

"Why can't my money be smashed on the back of my head? You still haven't paid it back? Don't give me a punch back. ”

"If you don't pay it back, why should you pay it back if it's not your money?"

"Whether it's my money or not, if it hurts me, it has to be mine."

"There is no such reason in the world."

"I said there was a ......"

The two became more and more noisy, and then they beat each other. Liu Changting shook his head and smiled, greed kills people, it has been like this since ancient times, he took advantage of the unpreparedness to take the stool away, returned to Xu Heguang and Xie Huagai, smiled at the two of them proudly, and stepped on the stool.

Xu Heguang and Xie Huagai looked surprised, the two heard the noise behind them, and when they looked back, they were already in a mess.

At this time, hundreds of boats in the lake pulled three large nets, going upstream, accompanied by the cries of the boatmen one after another, they had gone up for more than ten zhang, but they found nothing. Lu Dongliang, the captain of the ship, was slightly anxious in his heart, when Ding Ke found him, he said that he should ask someone to go upstream to salvage the body, but he said that the body would only be washed downstream, how could it be upstream? Ding Ke said that it was Xia Xianzun's order, and he must go all the way up and salvage upstream. He had no choice but to obey his fate, but he was worried in his heart, Xia Xianzun was young after all, and he didn't understand the flow of water, wouldn't it be a shame if he couldn't salvage the body after tossing?

Ding Ke also had the same idea, and he had mentioned it to Xia Xiang before, but Xia Xiang insisted on salvaging upstream, and he couldn't say anything more.

The onlookers began to talk.

"More than a hundred boats, what are you doing with all the fanfare?"

"I heard that it was the salvage of the body, and it was the three murders some time ago."

"Didn't the three homicides happen downstream? How to salvage upstream? Isn't that the opposite of the case? ”

"Who's to say it isn't? I heard that Xia Xianzun had to let people go upstream to salvage, and the county zun couldn't help but listen to his words. ”
