Bang!

The door of the yamen was kicked open, and although several officials stopped him, Xiang An still broke into the governor's yamen.

When he came in, his anger was even greater.

Zhou Fu, who was said by the official to be handling official business, was sleeping on the bookcase, and his saliva flowed out, which was three feet long.

"Governor Zhou, what do you mean?"

Xiang An can be sure that Zhou Fu is pretending to be asleep, he is irritable and angry in his heart, where can he still bear it, and he wakes up Zhou Fu with an angry shout.

"Outside the old man, roaring in the public court, it seems that I am too polite to you, the old horseman?"

Zhou Fu raised his head in his seat, wiped his saliva, and stared at Xiang An with a calm gaze.

Xiang An was anxious at the moment, and he said sharply: "Zhou Fu, hand over my son, there is still room for reversal in this matter, otherwise, ......"

"Horn!"

Before he finished speaking, something flew over, it was the fire stick in the public court, which slapped directly on Xiang An's face and pulled out a mark.

"Old puppet, you don't seem to understand what the situation is now, have you heard of the magistrate of the broken family?" Zhou Fu asked sharply.

Zhou Fu is in the prime of life, and Xiang An is old and decrepit, so Zhou Fu's voice is much louder than Xiang An's.

Moreover, no one dared to treat Xiang An like this for decades, even if Zhou Fu put him under house arrest for a whole day yesterday, he was polite on the surface.

Under the anger, Xiang An calmed down.

Zhou Fu is right, the magistrate of the broken family ordered Yin to destroy the door, even if the back of the Xiang family is a national relative, the Taishou in the city of Xuzhou Mansion also conceded three points to the Xiang family, but at least the current Li Guojian is Zhou Fu has the final say.

If he is ruthless, Xiang An is actually helpless to take him.

"Zhou Fu, you are very good!" Xiang An spat out these six words from between his teeth, turned around and waited to leave.

"Come on, let's go, it seems that you, an old horseman, really think that Li Guojian is your family! Xiang An, since you're here, don't go! ”

With Zhou Fu's gloomy words, in front of Xiang An, the door that he had just kicked open suddenly closed again, and it was buckled from the outside.

Xiang Anxin was awe-inspiring, he was at a loss at the moment, because what this Zhou Fu did was completely unexpected by him.

He was accustomed to judging Zhou Fu's actions by speculating on the behavior of civil officials, but Zhou Fu flipped the table without saying a word, and was extremely ruthless when he moved, and even a little unscrupulous.

"I'm also a person with a title, Zhou Fu, Governor Zhou, are you going to kill me here?" After calming down, Xiang An turned around with a sneer.

"Xiang An, if you don't know each other, it's light to kill you here." Zhou Fu said slowly.

"I'd like to see, what else do you weigh?"

"You just wait here." Zhou Fu said.

Before Xiang An came, he had already sent someone to Xuzhou to report the news, and he also sent a messenger to Beijing, waiting, he was not afraid, what he was really afraid of was that something happened to his son.

From what happened yesterday, he guessed that nine times out of ten his son fell into the hands of Zhou Fu, so he softened his tone slightly: "Hand over my son, why don't I wait for you here?" ”

"Your son is the eldest alone, who knows where he went, you don't want to frame this official, maybe he is lingering in the Qinglou." Of course, Zhou Fu resolutely refused to admit this.

"What the hell are you going to do!" Xiang An's forehead jumped straight to the blue tendons.

"Of course, I ask you to assist in the trial here, yesterday's case has not been tried yet." Seeing the appearance of this old man trembling with anger, Zhou Fu was full of joy.

When he learned that this old man tried to get rid of their father and son and swallow up the cement kiln newly built by Li Guojian, Zhou Fu was also shocked, because Xiang An Xiangcong and his son had acted too well before, and he thought that the father and son had changed their minds and were willing to cooperate with him.

With Zhou Fu's understanding of his son, if the father and son of the Xiang family sincerely cooperate, what benefits will they have to share. But this father and son are short-sighted and only take care of a little profit, then Zhou Quan's revenge will also be extremely ruthless - he needs to use the experience of this father and son to really deter Li Guo to supervise his master.

In the tugging and tugging between the two sides, more than an hour passed, and whether Xiang An was angry or pleaded softly, Zhou Fu just didn't eat the oil and salt.

When it was almost noon, the door of the yamen was opened, and when Xiang An looked back, he saw Zhou Quan stepping in.

"Zhou Yanei, what about my son?" Xiang An asked sharply again.

"Why is the old man here, something happened to Ling Lang, he was kidnapped by gangsters, but fortunately I caught up and saved him." Zhou Quan said with a sincere face.

The expression on his face was so natural that Xiang An couldn't help but be stunned, and even had a trace of doubt, could it be that his son was really kidnapped by gangsters?

"Oh, by the way, I have something, and I'm going to ask the old man to take a look." Zhou Quan said again.

He took out a piece of paper and handed it to Xiang An. Xiang An saw that the handwriting on it was written by his own son, and then looked at the content, but he confessed that his father and son colluded with Zhao Sheng to Jiangyang thieves and tried to murder Zhou Fu.

This is a conspiracy to kill an official of the imperial court!

I only saw a small half, and sweat was dripping on Xiang An's forehead, this kind of thing, they can do it, but they can't leave a handle, otherwise it will be a big crime.

Xiang An was not too worried before, even if Zhao Sheng was captured, he didn't think so, because the Zhou family didn't have any evidence to prove him, and it was not of much use to rely on Zhao Sheng's confession, and it could be inferred that Zhao Sheng, a thief, was biting indiscriminately.

But now it's different, with Xiang Cong's own confession, the nature is completely different.

The only way is to ask for help from the Xiang clan!

If the clan has helped, these charges can naturally be cleared.

"Zhou Yanei, this is a misunderstanding." Seeing his son's signature and fingerprints on the last page, Xiang An looked up and said tentatively.

"You are misleading, but I don't think it's the case, outside the old man, the person who treats others as fools is a fool himself." Zhou Quan smiled.

Seeing that Zhou Quan's face was still kind, and more importantly, it was not clear where his son was now, so Xiang An could only scold in his heart, but he didn't dare to turn his face: "Yes, yes, old and faint, what should the governor say to the yamen?" ”

"The land of Longchuan, four thousand runs belong to me." Zhou Quan said.

Longchuan is a large piece of land, a radius of several miles, the market price in Xuzhou is also about 4,000 guan, if it is good, it can be sold for 5,000, if it is bad, it is 35600, and Zhou Quan paid 4,000 guan, which is fair.

Xiang An nodded without hesitation: "According to what Yanai said!" ”

Zhou Quan clapped his palms, and saw Meng Guang and Shen Fatzi walking in, as well as Yaqian and Kong Mu - the original Kong Mu was beaten by Zhou Fu and resigned by himself, so now this Kong Mu was promoted by Zhou Fu, as for Yaqian, he was still a little blind, and he didn't dare to disobey Zhou Fu anymore, so he was naturally stayed.

"Let's make a note." Zhou Quan said.

Xiang Anxin secretly sneered, Zhou Fu is the chief official of the State Prison, and Zhou Quan's note will become evidence of Zhou Fu's perversion of the law afterwards. Therefore, he did not hesitate to sign the note, and then he saw that Zhou Quan did not move, but Meng Guang signed the note with a smile.

It was not the Zhou family father and son who spent 4,000 yuan to buy the land of Longchuan at all, but Meng Guang!

"Meng Guang, you, you!" Xiang An originally thought that Meng Guang was invited to act as a guarantor, but he didn't expect that he would become the land buyer pushed out by the Zhou family's father and son, and he was furious, but he stopped abruptly.

Shen Fatzi created the father and son of the Zhou family at the first time, and won the trust of the Zhou family by relying on the "management regulations", Meng Guang missed the opportunity at that time, and regretted it in his heart, and now he sees Zhou Quan playing with the Xiang family between applause, he knows that this is his new opportunity.

If you miss this opportunity, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch the boat of the Zhou family.

As for risking offending the Xiang family, as Zhou Quan once said to them, the foreigner surnamed Ma said, triple the profit, risk death!

On the entire document, the name of the Zhou family did not appear, and in the end, it was only the big seal of the governor of Zhou Fu and the governor of the country to sign it, recognizing the legitimacy of this contract.

Seeing that the note was put away by Zhou Quan, Xiang An tore up Xiang Cong's confession hatefully, and then asked, "Yanei, where is my son?" ”

"Isn't this just outside the yamen, oh, there's another thing, please sign it to the old man." Zhou Quan pointed to another piece of paper.

Xiang An glanced at the paper, and then her pupils contracted suddenly.

"The beggar is the defender of the national prison!"

The content of the paper is very simple, that is, in recent years, Xuzhou robbers have been making work, repeatedly peeking at the big smelting pits, and kidnapping and extortion have happened from time to time. lest there be more than ten thieves who dare to die, break into the town, seize the smelting pit, and gather to make chaos, then thousands of people's weapons and staff will immediately fall into the hands of the thieves, and then the thieves will take a boat down the river and raid Xuzhou, as long as one or two hours, Xuzhou will be lost.

Xiang An is no stranger to this reason.

Su Shi was the Taishou of Xuzhou in the first year of Yuanfeng, and at that time he wrote to the emperor, pointing out that the garrison of Liguo was abolished, and asked each of the 36 Metallurgical Guards to send ten young men to teach the art of battle formation, and grant weapons to the soldiers to prevent robbers. It's just that Su Shi was repeatedly belittled later, and his old policy has long been abolished now, and there is no left.

Slightly different from Su Shi's reason at the beginning, this time, it was in Xiang An's tone to write to Xuzhou Taishou Xu Churen, mentioning the attacks on Zhou Quan and Xiang Cong, using this as an excuse to show that it is urgent to set up a smelter group to practice.

"I won't write it!" Xiang An is authentic word by word.

He was not worried that the Zhou family would take the opportunity to take the military power to rebel, according to Su Shi's plan back then, Li Guojian would set up a metallurgical group of 360 people at most, with this amount of troops, it was possible to disturb Xuzhou, and if he wanted to rebel, he would be looking for death.

However, if this Yehu group training is really set up, Zhou Fu will have a force that can be controlled, and when the time comes, the major Yehu will only bow down in a low voice in the face of this powerful governor of Liguojian!

Zhou Quan laughed: "Outside the old man, you seem to be mistaken, I am not asking for your opinion, but ordering you to sign here!" Zhou Quan clicked on the piece of paper.

"Zhou Yanei, don't deceive people too much, Xiang Jia, after all, it is the mother of the late Queen Mother, and now there are two county kings!" Xiang Cong's note was torn up, so Xiang An's attitude hardened again.

Zhou Quan smiled and said meaningfully: "It seems that Xiang Lao still can't recognize the situation clearly...... You might as well go out first, discuss with Ling Lang, and then make a decision! ”
