"The person who came was thin, wearing an old cotton jacket with cotton exposed in the fluttering holes, his hair was messy like a bird's nest, and his goatee was not yellow, gray or gray, and it was Xu Wenchang, the old-timer of the master of Shaoxing.

"When you meet an old acquaintance in a foreign country, won't Mr. Liu invite the old man in to talk about it? Xu Wenchang smiled lovely, and his goatee shook and shook. ”

During the Wanli period, six or seven out of ten people in the yamen of the world who were criminal names and master Qiangu were from Shaoxing, Zhao Shichen, Liu Liangfu and Xu Wenchang were all fellow villagers, but Xu Wenchang was determined to settle the country in Anbang, and Zhao and Liu were helping the master to do evil.

If it was before, Liu Liangfu would have closed the door a long time ago and asked Xu Wenchang to eat a closed door, but today is different from the past, yesterday Zhengqin sent Zeng Shengwu to take Zhang Xiangye's decree and revealed a very bad tone, Liu Liangfu was a little drummed in his heart, and when he saw Xu Wenchang visiting, he just wanted to explore his style.

Liu Liangfu immediately smiled all over his face, and the two mouse beards on his lips were curled: "The old-timers are here, and the late life is full of brilliance!" Please please, it's windy outside, please come in, I'm afraid that this poor house will snub the old-timers! ”

Old man Xu is not only older, but he is afraid that he will become famous no more than ten or twenty years earlier than Zhao Shichen and Liu Liangfu, and the qualifications among the masters of Shaoxing are ranked, if he is modest and second, no one will dare to call him the first.

"Mr. Liu is polite", he nodded quite reservedly, and walked into the courtyard.

Seeing Xu Wenchang carrying a rattan box, Liu Liangfu was a little strange, and before he could ask, Xu Wenchang said: "The friendship between you and my fellow villagers, the old man is poor, and he cheekily brought some Shaoxing's champion red, fog dried vegetables and roast meat, fog tofu, and Jinhua's ham, and share it with Mr. Liu." ”

Shaoxing's moldy dried vegetables, moldy tofu, at this time Shaoxing people outside, talking about it are all drooling, Liu Liangfu has been a guest of honor for more than ten years on the side, listening to all the delicious food brought by his hometown, the greedy insects are moved, and he said in a loud voice: "The old-timers are favored, and I dare not be ashamed of my late life." ”

It is very common for fellow villagers to come and go, bringing some local property, Liu Liangfu did not doubt him at all, and sat down with Xu Wenchang.

Xu Wenchang opened the rattan box, sure enough, it was some Shaoxing production, took it out and put it on the table, used the red mud stove to heat the hot fog dried vegetables roasted meat, cut Jinhua ham, and opened the seal of the wine bottle, and poured the champion red water to the heat, poured it in the bowl, the color was like amber, fragrant

Breathless.

all knew that the other party was not just to talk about the friendship of the country, and pushed the cup and plate several times, Liu Liangfu spoke out first: "The old-timers were in the ** Governor Shogunate, and they were in charge of the affairs of the Southeast Imperial Palace, which shocked Fujian and Zhejiang, and moved the south of the Yangtze River. ”

"Although General Qin is young, he is already famous, and he does not have the slightest arrogance, he is extremely polite and virtuous, and he undresses his closet and treats the old man......" Xu Wenchang said with a smile, his face was a little hot.

What Corporal Lixian, what unraveling wardrobe food? Qin Lin almost arrested Xu Wenchang in prison when he first saw him, and then intimidated him at every turn, asking Li Shizhen to insert a silver needle in his head, Lu Fatzi and Niu Tamping Goods, and almost pulled out Xu Wenchang's beard.

However, Xu Wenchang was still desperate to follow Qin Lin and give advice for him!

If you ask those dignitaries who are generous and respectfully invite Xu Wenchang to come out of the mountain as a curtain guest, but he turns them away, they know the inside story, I'm afraid they will break their eyes.

Liu Liangfu nodded, and also boasted: "Now that we Shaoxing people are the guests, nine out of ten are proud." It's not that the late students are boasting, Mr. Zhao and his students are also entrusted with important tasks here by Governor Yang, and more than 100,000 military salaries, millions of dollars in and out every year, are all on our pen. ”

Seeing that he could enter Hong Kong, Xu Wenchang laughed: "Mr. Liu, it's okay to do anything else, since you are a master of food and salary for others, the old man has to remind you that the life-saving account must be hidden, otherwise Qin Cha will investigate the fraud of Governor Yang, and as soon as he pushes 369, you will have to be a substitute for the dead." "What, Qin Cha really wants to investigate Governor Yang?" Liu Liangfu's eyes rolled, deliberately pretending to be afraid, and asked in a low voice: "In the Jingshi, is Zhang Xiangye intending to deal with Governor Yang, or is it something else?" The students see that Governor Yang and Zhang Xiangye are quite compatible, and the old-timers say so, it is too much. ”,

Hmph, you don't know whether you live or die, but you want to talk from the old man's mouth? Xu Wenchang sneered in his heart, raised his wine glass and sipped slowly: "What is Mr. Liu asking about this?" You and I are the guests of the scene, even if the owner wants to fall, we can't control it, let's turn over the life-saving bottom account at that time, roll up the cover and get out, I'm afraid where he will come! ”

The curtain guest is not an official official of the yamen, and the officials who asked him to intervene as a teacher, a friend, and a doorman, the responsibility is limited, like when Hu Zongxian was unjustly imprisoned, and there was not much Xu Wenchang to do, he ran back to his hometown by himself, of course, his reputation was damaged and his ideals were severely frustrated, that is another matter.

Liu Liangfu had other thoughts, and when he heard Xu Wenchang always mention the life-saving account, a little cunning flashed in his mouse eyes, and he pretended to be a little anxious: "It's about the job of the late life, and I also ask the old gentleman to tell me a letter in advance, so that the late life can be prepared." ”

Xu Wenchang frowned, and deliberately made the case extremely serious: "Heh, Mr. Liu doesn't know, this matter has been going through the sky!" Governor Yang's corruption and fraud case is the first major case of this year, all the imperial history, to the snowflakes in the matter of the bullet flying to the court, Zhang Xiangye was furious, ordered to investigate the case thoroughly, Zeng Shilang and the chief of the disadvantage Dong Weng Qin just played a front station, and there were Jinyiwei and Dongchang's brigade behind it!

To put it mildly, my brother's job is broken, hand over the bottom account as soon as possible, the old man will ask for a favor in front of you in front of the disadvantage, Chief Qin doesn't look at the monk's face and looks at the Buddha's face, and always asks you to return to your hometown safely. ”

Xu Wenchang did not leave the bottom account in three sentences, Liu Liangfu is not stupid, he will not withdraw the eagle if he does not see the son, and he will not die until the heart of the Yellow River, until the last moment, how can he be willing to hand over the important life-saving account?

"Well, after all, the late students still have some concerns, and I ask the old gentleman to forgive me......"

Liu Liangfu dodged between his words, his eyes flickering.

Xu Wenchang saw that the other party's words were not true, stood up and arched his hand, and sighed in disappointment: "The old man treats each other with sincerity, but Mr. Liu is always suspicious, alas, this matter can only be said here, Mr. Liu should do it himself!" ”

Liu Liangfu laughed and sent Xu Wenchang out.

When Xu Wenchang left, he still carried the big rattan box away, and he staggered a little in the slippery alley after the snow, looking dejected and very disappointed. Liu Liangfu smiled secretly in his heart: Old thing, think that two or three sentences can bluff Lao Tzu? Hmph, let you be like a ghost, this time I also drank Lao Tzu's footwashing water!

Bang! Liu Liangfu closed the courtyard door heavily.

As everyone knows, Xu Wenchang turned the corner of the alley, and he held on to the brick wall and laughed wildly, but his drunken old eyes became extremely sober at this moment, and the cold flashed: Liu Liangfu, Liu Liangfu, if you know each other, hurry up and hand over the bottom account to Chief Qin, otherwise you will ask for more blessings!

Liu Liangfu went back and sat in the room and thought for a while, feeling that although the words that came out of Xu Wenchang's mouth could not be trusted, they also had a lot of reference value, especially when he went to tell Dong Weng Yang Zhao and Zhao Shichen at this time of tribulation, so as to ease the slightly rigid relationship because he did not hand over the bottom account yesterday.

As for the bottom account itself, it is the killer weapon of his Liu someone to save his life, and it is the safest only to keep it in his own hands, and no one can give it!

After thinking about the wording clearly, Liu Liangfu opened the door leading to the Governor's Mansion in the small cross-courtyard, and as soon as he took a step, he stood in surprise.

The master, Yang Zhao, the governor of Jiliao, and Zhao Shichen, the chief copywriter, hurriedly walked over, Yang Zhao, who had never been in the city, had a little panic on his face, and Zhao Shichen's pitted face was even more gloomy and terrifying.

Liu Liangfu didn't know what to do, and he laughed and caught up with two steps: "Dong Weng, Mr. Zhao, the student is having something to talk to the two of you, and Xu Wenchang and Xu Lao'er came to find the student......

Zhao Shichen's jackal voice screamed, interrupting his words: "If we are one step late, you surnamed Liu will hand over the bottom account to Xu Lao'er, right?" ”

Liu Liangfu took a step back in shock, and said with a reluctant smile: "Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhao, what did you say?" How could a brother do such a thing? ”

Yang Zhao had a calm face, and Liu Liangfu, who was staring at him with gloomy eyes, was cold and didn't say a word.

Zhao Shichen approached step by step: "Then Xu Lao'er came to you with a big rattan box, what was in the box when he came?" What was in the box when you went? ”,

"No, nothing, it's just some champion red, moldy dried vegetables, moldy tofu......"

Liu Liangfu said thoughtlessly, suddenly came to his senses, and slapped his thigh: "Oh no, we fell for his discordant plan!" ”

Just as Yang Zhao sent yellow sheep and suckling pig to Qin Lin, put a large amount of silver in the belly of the yellow sheep, and played a series of tricks out of nothing, Qin Lin sent Xu Wen to grow out of horse, and used his way to give back his body, and also came to Li Dai Taozhuang's discordant plan.

At this juncture, if you are Yang Zhao and Zhao Shichen, who would believe that Xu Wenchang came to Liu Liangfu to bring a box of moldy dried vegetables and moldy tofu? Who would believe that Liu Liangfu and him only talked about a mutual temptation?

The suspect stole the axe......

Liu Liangfu cried with a sad face: "They are deliberately separating us!" Xu Lao'er is really brought with moldy dried vegetables and

Champion Yuanhong, by the way, there are still things left on the table, Dong Weng, Mr. Zhao, you can't be fooled, you must believe the students! ”

Yang Zhao kept a straight face, and suddenly laughed after a while: "Mr. Liu, how do you say you can make this official believe you?" ”

Zhao Shichen also threatened: "Mr. Liu should hand over the bottom account first, otherwise if Qin Lin and Xu Wenchang get rid of it......"

"No, the students didn't keep a bottom account in the first place!" Liu Liangfu shook his head like a rattle, and his heart resented Zhao Shichen, this Master Qiangu must keep his foundation after making false accounts, but he is a line of view, why do you want me to hand it over? Isn't this giving up my life?

"Good, good, good!" Yang Zhao said three good words in a row, and Tie Qing brushed his sleeves away.

Zhao Shichen sneered, turned his head and left.

Looking at the old man's expression, Liu Liangfu's heart was sudden

A chill rose, and he began to regret it, but all around him were the personal soldiers of the Governor's Palace, staring at him, and the door outside the small courtyard was also locked......
