From May to June, the people of Nanjing were talking about how happy the public trial of the Ying Tianfu Ya was, and the bigwigs of various ministries and institutes, the Nan Keyan official and the Nan Jian Xueguan, together with the four Nanjing garrisons with their own hills, paid more attention to the pattern of Nanjing City today. Although Peng Li, the governor of Nanzhili, was on the list, Zhao Qin's case still implicated him, and there was even a situation of liquidating all the way up. In the end, it was the emperor who took pity on Peng Lichenghua's old ministers, and said that he had gone to Ren Youzhi, which could be regarded as putting an end to this case that was originally pursued indefinitely. However, it is inevitable that Fu Rong and Zheng Qiang, the two garrison eunuchs, will rise in the tide.

At this time, Xu Yuan, who was dressed in a new robe, stood outside the magnificent former Kaiping Palace, quite uneasy. It wasn't until Xu Xun greeted him with a smile and lured him in that he was a little relieved. He didn't expect this earth-shattering storm to end in such a way at first, but now that he thinks about it, it still feels like a dream, so he was absent-minded and didn't react when he heard Xu Xun's words at first glance, but he quickly raised his head all of a sudden.

"What did you say?"

"I said, I'm going to the capital, and I want to entrust the sixth uncle to take care of the house in Taiping."

The Zhao family's mansion was returned to Xu Xun, but Xu Xun changed hands but gave the house to Zhang Mao to use, of course Xu Xun would not know about this, and while smacking his tongue in his heart for this big deal, he couldn't help but praise himself for being smart and sophisticated. At this moment, he heard that Xu Xun actually entrusted his house to him to take care of, and he agreed without saying a word, but Xu Xun shook his head.

"Sixth uncle, I'm not asking you to send someone over to take care of it, but to say that the house is empty and empty, so you might as well let the sixth aunt move in and live there, so as not to leave the huge house empty." Seeing that Xu Zhen was about to open his mouth to excuse himself, Xu Xun said sincerely, "I shouldn't be able to come back in a short time, and it's empty, and the sixth uncle's official house in Yingtianfu is not rich, although the clan returned the ancestral house to you, but you have many children, and the sixth brother is about to get married, and that little place may not be enough to live." ”

"How embarrassing is this...... "If it were in the past, Xu Zhen would have agreed for a while, but now the situation is very different. Xu Xun saw that he had cast the eyes of many nobles, and he might be soaring in an instant, where would he take advantage of such an uninteresting advantage? So, after thinking about it for a while, he said, "In this case, I will calculate the annual rental money separately......

"If Uncle Sixth wants to say this, I can find someone else." Xu Xun frowned as if he was dissatisfied, and then said with a smile, "Besides, do I need money to find someone else to look at the house?" If the sixth uncle really wants to compensate me, I heard that the Xu clan is going to reopen the conference, and the sixth uncle and several clan elders are going to remove the eldest uncle from the position of patriarch, but I want to ask the sixth uncle to ask Uncle Xu for justice. ”

Xu Zhen thought about it for a long time before he figured out who Uncle Xu was, and immediately knew that Xu Xun was going to settle the account. I think that the fire in Taiping was boiling at the beginning, and the Changfang side was clearly the mastermind of the arson, but because Zhao Qin was fearless, he almost trapped Xu Liang in the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses, and now Zhao Qin was hanged, and the Changfang had no backer, and because Xu Dong died or not, he happened to go to Yingtianfu to complain that day, and for a while the wall fell down and everyone pushed it, he just pushed the boat down the river to meet everyone's wishes, and this thing can be done.

"It turned out to be this trivial matter, Xiao Qi, don't worry, I will settle this account with them!"

"Then thank you Uncle Six!"

Since Xu Xun was out of the sect, he was not good at interfering in the affairs of the clan, so he gently and skillfully pushed the matter to Xu Xun at this time, and he was naturally determined. Fu Rong paid him the money for the errands before, and he still had nearly four hundred taels left in his hand, but he mentioned it to Fu Rong to return it, but he was reprimanded by the eunuch who guarded the town, and his nose was not his nose and his eyes were not eyes, so he naturally put it in his pocket. As for the rest, his field was donated, and the Zhao family's mansion that had just arrived was borrowed, and his house in Taiping must not be sold, but he had to ask for justice for Xu Liang, who had nothing, so he had to start planning to scrape a layer of oil and water from the long house.

However, after he introduced Xu Yu to Fu Rong, the Duke of Wei sent someone to invite him, saying that Wang Shikun had passed his life today, and the wife of Wei Guo Wang personally held on to it, and invited Xu Xun to sit together. So, seeing that Fu Rong also sent him away with a smile, and asked him to bring Fu Hengan, who happened to be on monthly leave today, he had no choice but to get up and leave after confessing. As soon as Xu Xun left, Fu Rong put away his previous smile, and looked at Xu Xun with a little more scrutiny and pickiness in his eyes.

"Xu experienced."

"Don't dare, father-in-law, please call Xu by his name."

Xu Zhen couldn't figure out the meaning of Fu Rong's words, and he was worried for a while, and hurriedly owed a debt. Fortunately, after he said this, Fu Rong's face seemed to ease a little, but then he was really surprised when he heard the other party ask about Xu Bian's affairs back then. He replied carefully word by word, and seeing that Fu Rong didn't seem to be satisfied, he couldn't help but cry bitterly in his heart.

"Father-in-law, it is really Xu Xun's father, that is, my second brother Xu Bian has not returned for many years and his whereabouts are unknown, and when he came back from time to time before, there were only a handful of stays at home, I heard that he and his wife were not harmonious, Xu Xun was raised in the outer room."

"It's an adoptive father, not a father, you keep this in mind." Fu Rong thoughtfully tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and when he saw that Xu Yi immediately spoke, he said lightly, "Since the Xu clan has already expelled it from the sect in Taipingli, whether you take over as the patriarch or not, you will smooth this one out for our family, so as not to cause extraneous branches." You should also know that when the imperial court praised him before, the word adoptive father was also clear and unambiguous in the decree issued. ”

"Father-in-law means ......"

Xu Zhen was self-defeating, but at this time, he really felt that his brain was a little overwhelmed, and it wasn't until Fu Rong's face sank that he hurriedly responded, but he made up his mind to go back and ponder carefully. However, what he didn't expect was that Fu Rong would explain a few words lightly, and he almost didn't stand up on the spot.

"My father-in-law is saying, my second brother ...... My second brother actually ......"

"That's right. All in all, Gonggong Xiao sighed at this matter, and then reported it to the emperor, so the emperor would approve of such a commendation from the cabinet at that time. ”

"Yes, yes, the lower officials understand, understand......"

This Fu Rong was already a figure that Xu Rong couldn't climb at all in the past, and at this moment, Fu Rong mentioned the top boss in the capital again, and Xu Rong agreed repeatedly. Not long after he wiped his sweat and left, Xu Liang, who had cleaned up, was led to appear in front of Fu Rong. Although it was not as cramped as when they met for the first time before, after sitting down in front of Fu Rong, Xu Liang still felt uncomfortable. However, when Fu Rong opened his mouth and said the first sentence, he was stunned on the spot.

"Xu Liang, do you want a son like Xu Xun?"

Rao is Xu Liang has engraved all the etiquette teachings of those days into his mind, but the embarrassment of nearly thirty years has still deeply rooted something in his bones. Therefore, he almost subconsciously got up from his seat, took two steps back before bowing his head deeply and asked cautiously, "Father-in-law...... What does this mean by my father-in-law? ”

"Our family is asking you, if our family says that Xu Xun is your son, are you willing to recognize him?"

"Huh?"

Xu Liang, who was completely stunned, stood there unable to move. At that moment, his mind flashed the scene of Xu Li carrying his little son out, the scene of himself crying bitterly in front of the grave, and the days and nights that had been muddy for many years...... I don't know how long it took before he said in a difficult voice: "Father-in-law is ...... Does it mean that when Second Master Xu took my son out, my son did not die, and after more than half a year, he took people back as his own son to support? ”

"That's right, that's what we mean!"

Fu Rong didn't expect that he hadn't hinted at this stubble, Xu Liang actually thought of it first, and for a while he felt that this bad old man-like old man still had some eyesight. Seeing that Xu Liang sat down blankly, of course he would not say that he had prepared all the evidence, if he didn't believe that there were witnesses and physical evidence, he would just stand up.

"All in all, think about it yourself, if you are willing to recognize him back, we will do the rest! It's just that before the matter is completed, don't show a word in front of Xu Xun's kid. He's too smart to know it's going to be bad sooner! ”

When Fu Rong walked out of the room slowly, Xu Liang suddenly collapsed on the backrest, and he didn't know how many thoughts had turned in his heart. From the hope born between the first spirit, to the countless reveries after that, he went from excitement to confusion, from confusion to suspicion, and then from suspicion to helplessness, and finally those thoughts turned into a deep sigh.

He thought that the rest of his life would continue to pass in a mess, and in the end he would die silently and disappear into this world, but now he still has the opportunity to fight vigorously and beautifully, what else do you want to do? I think when he was drawing water under the Dazhong Bridge, why did he think about going to continue to have a son for himself? Besides, if Xu Xun is really his son...... Thinking of the many ups and downs he has experienced these days, Xu Liang gradually showed a smile. He's straight, but he's not stupid. Except for his background and this brute force kung fu, the rest has nothing that can be valued by big shots, but Xu Xun is different. What that little guy lacks is just a good background, a good opportunity......********************* West Garden of the Duke of Wei's Mansion.

In the water pavilion, Xu Xu, the fourth young master of the Wei State Mansion, who had always been good friends with Wang Shikun, was there and talked with several other sons and brothers who were invited. In the shade on the waterfront side, Xu Xun was sitting and fishing with Wang Shikun. Only the attention of the two of them was not on the fishing rod, and their heads were almost together.

"There was such a great opportunity before, but I was born because my brother-in-law detained me and didn't let me go out, so I missed such a lively time, this time I just wore out my mouth, and I must let my eldest sister promise me to go to the capital with you! I've already thought of the excuse, isn't this Dingguo Gong just one breath away from death? It's no longer appropriate for this Wei Mansion to go to see it personally, if the eldest sister doesn't let me go, I'll drag Xu Xu to go, and he has to call me uncle! ”

"Are you really going?" Xu Xun, who was caught by Wang Shikun and complained for a long time as soon as he came today, looked at Wang Shikun with a stubborn face, remembered that this was a good hand to help make trouble, and swallowed the words of admonition into his stomach after thinking about it, "Well, I only have one condition, when I get to the capital, everything will listen to me!" ”

"Deal!"

Seeing Wang Shikun stretching out his hand with a smile, Xu Xun also reached out and shook it with a smile. The two slaps slapped together loudly, and then laughed at the same time.
