Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture, Xujia. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Xu Lide, who was at the helm of the Cao Gang before, was very aggressive, but Xu Lide, who was talking eloquently, looked respectful at the moment, lowered his eyebrows, and didn't even dare to sit down, but half-bent over, whispering to the people in front of him to report the news he had just gotten. The one who can make him so in awe of Steward Xu can naturally only be the masters of the Xu family, and the one who listens to him is the third son of Xu Jie, and he is also the real master of the Xu family now.

At this moment, Xu Ying is naturally very different from the caution she showed in front of her father before, with a trace of majesty that people dare not approach, and her whole body is full of everyone's demeanor.

"Third master, I just got the news, Jinyiwei suddenly made a move, and he has taken down all the cadres of the Yangzhou Cao Gang." Xu Lide reported in a whisper, and while talking, he peeked at his master's reaction. To be honest, the Xu family's news is really well-informed, and it has only been a day, and they have already known about the changes that happened in Yangzhou City hundreds of miles away.

Xu Ying frowned slightly, and she didn't feel a little surprised: "This Yang Zhen is so fast, we just realized that the situation is not good, so he will take people directly, and it is not easy to deal with them." ”

Xu Lide also looked solemn: "Yes, I didn't expect that Yan Huan to be so greedy and stupid, he actually thought of doing such a thing, and he deserved to be stolen by everyone this time." But Third Master, this matter may also be a little unfavorable for us......"

"How?" Xu Ying thought that this result was just a setback to her original plan, but listening to the other party's meaning, it was obvious that things were not so simple, so she frowned and asked.

"Didn't you tell me to hand over the information about the ships going to sea to the Cao Gang before, the little one didn't dare to slack off, and sent it a few days earlier. So the little one is a little worried......" Xu Lide said, his eyes glanced at Xu Ying slightly, a little timid.

Xu Ying was slightly stunned, and then she understood: "Are you afraid that this matter will be found out by Jinyiwei and cause trouble?" At the same time, I was a little dissatisfied with my right-hand man, why are you so fast? But it's hard to say, because this is your own intention after all, isn't it wrong to do things for your subordinates quickly?

Xu Lide's neck shrank slightly, and he nodded a little weakly: "The little one is worried about this." You also know the virtue of the three masters of the Jinyi Guard, and I don't dare to say anything else, but this method of copying the family is first-class, and there is almost no evidence that can leak out of their hands. Those sea ship drawings are a little sensitive......"

Xu Ying waved his hand to stop him from continuing, and then said, "This matter is indeed a bit troublesome, but it doesn't pose too much of a threat to us." Even if Jinyi Wei really found the drawings, they might not take it seriously, and Yan Huan's mind should also know that betraying our Xu family would not do him any good, and he wouldn't bite us out casually. Moreover, even if it is really investigated, do you think Yang Zhen and Jinyiwei will dare to investigate this and be the enemy of our Xu family? For this last point, Xu Ying has absolute confidence, how big his prestige, status and power are in Jiangnan, he is naturally clear as a core member of the family, in his opinion, in Jiangnan, no one dares to really be an enemy of the Xu family.

In this regard, Xu Lide naturally understood it very well, but still reminded: "But the third master, this matter is not small after all, we have to take precautions." ”

As the person in charge of the family, Xu Ying naturally attaches great importance to the characteristic of stability, so she nodded after groaning: "What you said also makes some sense. In this way, I will go to Yangzhou in the next two days to inquire about the news and see what the attitude of the government over there is. Didn't we give Yang Zhen a heavy gift when he got married before, and we didn't hinder him in this Cao Gang incident (in fact, Yang Zhen acted too fast, and the Xu family didn't have time to react), he always had to admit these two favors, so it was not difficult to find him to be accommodating. ”

Seeing that Xu Ying accepted his suggestion, Xu Lide relaxed a little, and hurriedly nodded: "The third master has thought it through, and the little one will start to do both of these things." If necessary, you can also talk to Yang Zhen and them and give him some benefits? ”

Xu Ying thought for a while, then nodded and said, "It's up to you to do this, as long as there are no more accidents." Recently, my Xu family still hasn't had any problems, and the news has come back from the capital before, and the bastard's bullet seal was really sent to the capital, and he entered the palace by mistake. In such a sensitive period, more is better than less......"

This is the news that Xu Lide didn't know, and his face suddenly changed: "There is still such a thing?" The bullet of the madman's county order really arrived in the capital and entered the palace? ”

Seeing that he was a little panicked, Xu Ying smiled faintly and looked calm: "You don't have to be so afraid, a small Qipin county order is just a sparse performance, can it really threaten my Xu family?" Even if the emperor sees it, it has nothing to do with the overall situation, and now the real master of the world is not him, a young man. Such taboo words are only spoken by a man like him, in his own house and with his closest confidants.

Xu Lide didn't dare to answer this question, so he could only nod silently. Then he gritted his teeth and said: "This madman county order is really not worry-free, things are getting more and more excessive, do we really dare not touch him?" ”

Xu Ying's face was not so good-looking, and she snorted coldly: "Actually, according to what I mean, you can find a reason to get rid of him, and we haven't done this before." However, my father insisted that he could not change the county order for at least half a year, so I had to endure it. ”

Xu Lide smiled bitterly, the Xu family was too powerful in Huating, completely overshadowing the local officials, making it his own lackey. For this reason, in the past two years, there have been three prefectural magistrates who have resigned for various reasons, and now the prefectural magistrate has only been in office for half a year. If you get him down again, what will the court think of their Xu family, and what will the people of the world think of their Xu family? Maybe Xu Ying didn't care much, but Xu Jie, who was extremely important to the name behind him, didn't want such a result.

Although Xu Ying couldn't understand it, he couldn't disobey his father's words, so he was just complaining at the moment, and he didn't really want to do anything about the madman county order in his mouth. After sulking for a while, he continued: "It's better to ask the people in the county government to watch him more, and don't let him have an accident." If there is another thing that is passed on, they will not do anything in the county office. ”

"The little one understands, and the little one will arrange everything." Xu Lide hurriedly agreed, the burden on his shoulders as a foreign steward was really not light.

Although the recent events have been very unfavorable to her family, Xu Ying is not too worried. Because since he knew something, on the ground in the south of the Yangtze River, nothing could threaten his family. Especially after his father overthrew Yan Song and became the first assistant of the dynasty, the Xu family was even more invincible. So in his mind, there is no sense of crisis at all.

But the reality is often cruel, and when you think you are safe, the crisis is approaching step by step......

Huating County Yahou Hall.

A middle-aged man with a thin figure and a haggard and dark face was wandering in circles in the study with some irritation, and with every few steps, his brow was locked a little deeper.

After he walked for half an hour, the closed door was finally knocked: "The eldest master, the second master is here." ”

"Call him in." This is naturally the main hall of Huating County, that is, the "crazy county order" in Xu Ying's mouth. It's just that looking at his appearance and style, it doesn't match the adjective madman at all.

As soon as the door opened, Ji Chubai, the county magistrate of Huating County, walked in cautiously, this is a man in his fifties with a slightly bloated body. After seeing the look of the county order, Ji Xiancheng's brows furrowed slightly, but he still saluted his boss very well, and then sat on a chair next to the head and asked, "I don't know why the lord came to find the lower official?" ”

"What's the matter? You don't have such a bad memory, right? The county magistrate sneered, and his tone was very impulsive: "Half a month ago, I asked you to prepare for me all the land deeds, land deeds and other related properties related to the Xu family to be registered in the yamen." But it's good that you've always said that you haven't done it yet, and it's all up to today, can't you give an explanation to the official? ”

A trace of disgust and disdain flashed in Ji Chubai's eyes, but since the other party was his direct boss, he could only deal with it with good words: "My lord, you don't know, the management of official documents in my county has always been chaotic, and it always takes some time to find out the contract of the Xu family from this messy official document, and I hope your lord can understand!" ”

"You ......" Although he knew that the other party's excuse was very clumsy, the county magistrate was helpless against him. In this situation where the whole yamen is separated from him, it is too difficult for him to really want to do something.

But then, the county magistrate's mind came back to the scene he had seen when he first took office...... This made his hesitant mind immediately become firm again, even if he knew that he was hitting a stone with an egg, even if the probability of success was extremely small, but some things still had to be done!

After adjusting his mentality, he stared at Ji Chubai with his eyes: "Ji County Cheng, what this official has done is for the people of my Huating County, and also for our county government, I hope you can be worthy of the money you received and the official uniform on your body." Otherwise, when the time comes, don't blame the official for not talking about colleagues. Stand down and do what I want you to do. ”

“…… Be! After glancing at the thin county order in front of him, Ji Xiancheng finally bowed his head and agreed.
