"The matter has been calmed down, and Xiang Jia didn't say anything more?"

Xu Churen, the governor of Xuzhou, sat in the position where Su Shi once sit, squinting his eyes, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

"I didn't say anything more, I just said that the matter was over." A small official said.

"What a piece of rubbish!" Xu Churen scolded.

Since Zhou Fu became the governor of Liguojian, Xu Churen has been very dissatisfied with this fortunate official. If Xuzhou ruled the rest of the counties, he would have to find a problem, and reprimand him twice in three days, but although he could manage the civil affairs of Li Guojian, he couldn't manage Zhou Fu, the governor.

Xu Churen is the most typical civil official, looking down on anyone who is not in the top position of the imperial examination, in his opinion, "the way of Zhongni is all-encompassing", therefore, only Confucianism is a serious background.

He communicated with Qingliu in Beijing, and naturally knew that Zhou Fu's official position was completely obtained by his son in exchange for the art of Fang Ji - in the eyes of a Confucian student like Xu Churen, whether it was making cement or making snow candy, it was all a trick, not the right way. Therefore, he instinctively hates characters like Zhou Fu.

More importantly, Zhou Quan has a good relationship with Liang Shicheng and Tong Guan.

At least in Xu Churen's view, the Zhou family and Liang Shicheng and Tong Guan, the two eunuchs are all the way, especially Tong Guan, Xu Churen has a vendetta with him, when Tong Guan was fighting the Qing Tang Dynasty, Xu Churen knew about the Yongxing Army, and secretly pulled Tong Guan's hind legs, so he was squeezed out by Tong Guan.

As a high-ranking civil official who once served as Shangshu Youcheng, Xu Churen will naturally not be confused by superficial phenomena. Some time ago, he didn't make a move, and he has been secretly paying attention to the behavior of the Zhou family's father and son, just waiting for an opportunity to follow the Zhou family's father and son to take Tong Guan out.

"There is a letter to Xiang An, and I ask the villain to forward it to Taishou." The little official said as he presented the letter.

Xu Churen opened the letter, glanced at it hurriedly, and frowned: "It's really ......"

This is the book prepared by Zhou Quan to practice in the Liguo Jian Training Corps.

Although Xiang An was reluctant to do this, after meeting Xiang Cong, he quickly learned that the Xiang family still had a handle in Zhou Quan's hands, and this handle was not only his own, but also the entire Xiang clan.

Privately hiding armor soldiers, there are resentful words behind them, suspicious of the official family, and secretly harboring the idea of not being subordinate!

This crime, even the Xiang family can't afford it, don't say that there is something in it, but there is no such thing, Anzhi will the current official family think of using this matter to knock the Xiang family?

So Xiang An had to give in and take this letter, but he also said that he didn't know if the letter had any effect.

"Tell the people of Xiang'an, call his father and son to me." Xu Churen instinctively felt that there was something strange behind this letter, so he ordered the little official to say.

After the father and son of the Xiang family succumbed, where did they dare to stay in Liguo again, they came to Pengcheng, where Xuzhou Mansion was located, under the escort of a large number of family members, so it didn't take long for Xiang An to appear in front of Xu Churen.

"The villain has seen the bachelor!"

Xu Churen has the title of "Bachelor of Yankang Palace", so Xiang An calls him so. Xu Churen was also dissatisfied with Xiang An, he looked at the internal supervisor unpleasantly, and also looked at the relatives unpleasantly. But since he took office in Xuzhou, Xiang Jia has been very respectful to him, and more importantly, his children and nephews have said good things about Xiang Jia in front of him from time to time, so he still has a slight good impression in his heart.

"Xiang An, the book you went to, but the original intention?" Xu Churen asked.

"Yes...... It's the original intention! ”

Xiang An can deny this, the crime written by Xiang Cong is still in Zhou Quan's hands, where does he dare to say anything. Now the only thing he prays for is to be able to get things done according to the arrangement of the Zhou family's father and son, and the Zhou family will return the charges to him at that time.

He had already sworn in his heart that even if he exhausted his family wealth, he would put the Zhou family's father and son to death.

"Ling Lang was really robbed by gangsters?" Xu Churen asked again.

"The villain happens to know two of the villains, it is He Shun and Liu Xiaoer, who are on top of the bachelor's sea fishing documents!" Xiang Cong hurriedly said.

Previously, Zhou Quan reported the case and transferred all the documents to Xuzhou Mansion, and at that time, Xu Churen had read the information of He Shun and Liu Xiaoer. These two people are stubborn people in the countryside, they don't farm honestly, but they do some illegal things, and it is normal for them to be beaten in the yamen.

Seeing Xiang Cong's face full of anger, Xu Churen asked curiously, "Didn't you say that you met a ghost?" ”

This time, Xiang Cong's face turned red, and he still didn't understand what was going on: "The villain doesn't know, he did see the ghost fire at that time!" ”

The corners of Xu Churen's mouth bent down, he didn't believe this, it must be a lie made up by Xiang Cong for the sake of face.

However, it should be true that Xiang Cong was trapped by the gangsters, he frowned, and asked again: "Governor Zhou's son, why is he just over there?" ”

"The villain also inquired, that Zhou Yanei has always been a bold and reckless person, some time ago he was attacked, which provoked him to have a seizure, and he has been chasing He Shun and others recently."

This is also in line with Xu Churen's cognition of the Zhou family's father and son, these two are not scholars of imperial examination literature, and they are from the market, so they naturally do not know how to fear the law of the country. Xu Churen snorted: "This generation doesn't know the law of the country, how can they ......do it to arrest the suspects?"

Speaking of this, Xu Churen's heart suddenly moved.

He wanted to take down the father and son of the Zhou family, but since Zhou Fu took office, although he has caused constant turmoil, he has never given Xu Churen any suitable excuse.

Now is an opportunity to allow the Li Guo supervisor to run a group practice, with the arrogance of the Zhou family's father and son, it is necessary to oppress the good, and then someone will come to complain, and he will have real evidence, first take down the father and son, and then play the court!

At the beginning, Zheng Boke Duan Yu Yan, didn't he first connived at Gongshu Duan?

Thinking of this, Xu Churen's face was calm: "Since this is the case, you should go down first." ”

"Bachelor, this matter cannot be delayed, the thief is arrogant, if there is no means, I am afraid that it will be an effective imitator!" Still thinking about the crime that fell into Zhou Quan's hands, Xiang An urged.

"This government is acting, and you still need guidance?" Xu Churen's expression was solemn.

Xiang Anxin secretly scolded, your own family is diligent and thrifty, but your son and nephew have not received less benefits...... It's nothing more than a chance to collect money for your son and nephew!

He retreated, and after he returned, he prepared a generous gift, and asked his son Xiang Cong to send Xu Churen's youngest son Xu Du and nephew Xu Guang.

Sure enough, a few days after this generous gift arrived, I got the news from the officials of the Zhizhou Yamen that the Taishou Master had transferred to the imperial court, and at the same time allowed the governor of the country to act cheaply.

This cheap action is not allowed, but it is not opposed, in short, there is a lot of room for maneuver.

After getting this news, Xiang An finally breathed a sigh of relief, he realized his promise to the Zhou family, and even so, Zhou Quan's little son should have returned the crime.

"My lord, you said that the Zhou family is a child, will it ...... Fail to keep the faith? Xiang Cong was a little nervous.

"Hmph, if you weren't stupid and left such a handle, how could our father and son have fallen to this!" Xiang An, who was a little uneasy because of irritability recently, first reprimanded Xiang Cong, and then said: "The father and son of the Zhou family, they don't want to offend our Xiang family to death, otherwise where will you still live!" Rest assured, they will hand over ......"

At this time, Xiang An's judgment of the Zhou family's father and son has changed greatly, although he never underestimated Zhou Fu and Zhou Quan at the beginning, but now, he has put the two of them in the position of "big enemies".

Especially Zhou Quan, at first he thought that this was a cover for Zhou Fu to help out, but now it seems that the son of the Zhou family is simply a "demon"!

"After this incident, you go to Jingshi immediately, I will stay here to deal with their father and son, you have to think of asking the king of the county to make a move, and you will definitely let this father and son die without a place to be buried!"

Thinking of his own frightening during this time, as well as being humiliated by the Zhou family's father and son, Xiang An gritted his teeth and said.

"Don't worry, children, they know the severity!" Xiang Cong said in a deep voice.

He hated the Zhou family father and son more than Xiang An, especially Zhou Quan.

He tried his best to make friends with Zhou Quan before, but now that he thinks about it, he was like a clown at that time, and Zhou Quan never trusted him at all.

This is even more difficult for him to accept than Zhou Quan luring him out of Xuzhou City and kidnapping him.

What's more, there are still those several crimes, how could Zhou Quan force him to write down those several crimes, how could he not use some means?

The father and son made up their minds, and Xiang An took a sedan chair out of Xuzhou.

Originally, it was more stable to take the boat during the day, but Xiang An was old, and it was very inconvenient for the boat to swing around, so he took a sedan chair.

Two palanquin bearers and four family members are all his retinue.

After seeing his father leave, Xiang Cong suddenly panicked in his heart.

The Xiang family has been in Diqiu for 20 years, and he has encountered such a thing several times, but he is just a district governor, and his father and son have been disgraced.

He was depressed in his heart, and he was about to leave Xuzhou, so he went to Taibai Building, looked for Ah Lian, and stayed at Ah Lian.

But after a while, he was suddenly interrupted by a violent knock on the door.

"Master, master!"

The housekeeper's frightened voice evoked bad memories for Xiang Cong, and he roared angrily: "What's the matter! ”

"Oh no, no, something happened to the old lady!"

This made Xiang Cong even more annoyed, and the housekeeper shouted like this last time and took him out of Xuzhou City. It was only because the steward had followed his father for many years and was trusted that he only gave a slight reprimand afterwards and did not punish him.

But now, he's doing it again!

However, thinking that his father was going to see the father and son of the Zhou family to solve the urgent need, and the father and son were bad things that ate people and did not spit out bones, Xiang Cong still got up from Ah Lian's arms.

"What's going on, if it's the same as last time, it's you who makes a fuss, it's the adults who stop you, and I'm going to skin you!" Xiang Cong shouted.

"Old lady...... The old lady was killed by thieves! The butler's voice was already crying.

"Huh?"

Hearing the news, Xiang Cong only felt that his eyes were dark, but it was Ah Lian who helped him that he was able to stand firm.

hurriedly pushed open the door, and in addition to his housekeeper, he saw four or five errand servants.

Originally, the eyes of these officers were a little drifting, but now they looked in, and they happened to see Ah Lian who was only wearing a bandeau chest, and the expressions of the officers became even more strange.

This Xiang Cong Xiang master, his father died outside the city, he is good, he prostitutes with women in the city during the day!
