Suzhou Internal Guard Mansion.

Monk Mida was chained all over, and there were many punishment devices in front of his eyes that he had never seen before, which was daunting.

He trembled, looked at the young man in front of him with a frightened look, and opened and closed his lips several times before he said a word tremblingly: "You...... Who are you...... Person. ”

"Snapdragon internal guard Xu Ziling." Xu Ziling smiled very kindly.

"It's you. You're not dead. Monk Mida suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing and immediately kept silent.

Xu Ziling is such a smart person, he smiled: "You know me." ”

"The internal guard has long been notorious, who doesn't know you as a general." Monk Mida said, "It's just that I only cheated the money, you can't do anything to me, it's a big deal that I will return the money I cheated." ”

"Abbot, you are so cute, I wonder if you have ever heard such a saying circulated by the internal guards. called, as soon as you enter the Inner Guard Mansion, you are a thief if you are not an official. Men come in, women go out. Come in the woman, go out beast. Xu Ziling sighed and said to Mida.

Monk Namida's face became even more ugly at this moment, "You are lynching, the laws of the Tang Dynasty are not allowed, I want to find Pei Tongjun." ”

"Oh. Hehe, you are quite familiar with the laws of the Tang Dynasty. Xu Ziling said quietly, he had long suspected that everything Li Zongqing and Yuan Tiangang did in the United Military Mansion, how could the ordinary people outside know about it. Pei Tongjun.

"Xu... Xu Lang will. The lower officials are ignorant, and they don't know when Xu Lang will come to Suzhou, and they are not welcome. "An elegant middle-aged man came to the inner guard cell at some point.

"Who are you?" Xu Ziling frowned.

"Xiaguan Suzhou Tongjun Mansion, Pei Shifang, see General Xu Lang, the Xiaguan Mansion has already prepared wine and food, and I also ask General Xu Lang to give Xiaguan this opportunity to make amends." Pei Shifang inadvertently glanced at Monk Mida, and respectfully hugged his fists and bowed.

Now Xu Ziling is even more sure that this Pei Tongjun must have an inextricable relationship with this Mida monk, okay, and go with you, I want to see what kind of medicine you sell in your gourd.

"Hehe, Pei Tongjun is polite. Then let's go. Xu Ziling asked.

"Oh, naturally, Xu Lang will please."

Xu Ziling was also not polite, and walked out of the inner guard cell with his hands behind his back, and as soon as the two walked to the door of the inner guard mansion, Xu Ziling suddenly patted his head and said: "I forgot to call Li Jiaoxi and Yuan Daochang, Pei Tongjun will wait for a while......"

"Slow and slow, General Xu Lang, Xia Guan has already taken Yuan Xiandao and Li Jiaoxi, let's invite it here." Pei Tongjun stretched out his hand to make a gesture.

"Oh." Xu Ziling followed Pei Shifang out of the door, but his eyes glanced at a gang leader in the Neiwei Mansion not far away.

"Xu Lang will stay a little longer." The gang leader understood, quickly ran to Xu Ziling's side, and called Xu Ziling.

"Oh. What's the matter with you? Xu Ziling asked, this kid is quite good, and he can know my intentions.

"Oh, the brigade commander hasn't decided yet. Borrow a step to speak. Xu Ziling smiled at Pei Shifang, and then walked to the side with the gang leader, and said a few words in a low voice and quickly: "Change the Mituo monk and a few people to a cell, strictly guard, and don't miss a little." ”

"Pay attention to the brigade commander, or I will punish him severely." Xu Ziling raised his voice abruptly, deliberately letting Pei Tongjun hear this, and after he finished speaking, he came to Pei Shifang's side, made a gesture of invitation, and said, "Let Pei Tongjun break the bank." ”

Not long after I arrested the monk Namida, this Pei Tongjun actually came to invite me to dinner. And he easily entered the prison cell of the internal guard, which shows that Pei Tongjun is still very powerful and prestigious in Suzhou.

When they came to the Tongjun Mansion, they saw Li Zongqing and Yuan Tiangang kneeling down on their respective low wooden tables and chairs, not only the two of them, but also some middle-aged people who Xu Ziling didn't know were also sitting on their knees, and each of them had a pot of exquisite wine and a plate of lamb legs on their tables.

After those middle-aged people saw Pei Tongjun coming, they hurriedly got up and greeted each other: "Pei Tongjun, is this the young internal guard General Xu Lang?" All of them had a familiar look on their faces, as if they had known Xu Ziling in the morning, and they were cordial.

"I am fortunate to be happy, and I will look up to it for a long time." Xu Ziling also arched his hands, showing a sense of hypocrisy on his face, whether he knew anyone or not, he would say a word first.

"Lang, please take a seat." Pei Shifang said respectfully.

At the end of a meal, they are basically bragging to each other, and they all call each other brothers and sisters on the surface, but I don't know if they will spit on their backs in private.

After the dinner was over, it was already dawning, Xu Ziling hurriedly walked towards the Neiwei Mansion with Li Zongqing and Yuan Tiangang.

There was a big man in black standing in front of Pei Shifang, and the man said with a hint of anger in his words: "Ah Lang, it failed, Mida was not locked in a cell, and Xu Ziling was shameless." ”

"Hmph, Xu Ziling, since you have come to Suzhou, you don't want to go to my Suzhou safely." Pei Shifang's face was full of gloom, uncle, I don't want to do my best, and I want to break Xu Ziling's corpse into pieces.

Xu Ziling and the three of them came to the Inner Guard Mansion, and the head of the group was immediately called by Xu Ziling, "There is movement in the prison." ”

The gang leader looked at Xu Ziling with admiration and said, "Xu Lang is really like a god, not long after you left, a group of people killed the inner guard's cell, and left quickly after a while, with a very strong purpose." ”

Sure enough, it is not simple, Xu Ziling frowned, it seems that this Maitreya Sect can quickly become popular in Suzhou, it is by no means a simple matter, there is a lot of mystery behind this matter.

"Take me to Monk Namida." Xu Ziling said that, and walked away with the gang leader.

"My day, he treated us like air." Yuan Tiangang couldn't help but be a little angry when he saw that Xu Ziling hadn't said a word to him from beginning to end, and Li Zongqing on the side was no exception, she stopped Xu Ziling and said, "We are here to train the army, what are you doing like this." ”

"Training. Hehe, if you don't figure out some things, this soldier can't be trained now. After Xu Ziling finished speaking, he seemed to think of something, and said to the guy: "Wait, take me to the study first, I want to write a letter and send it to Jingshi." ”

Although Xu Ziling can directly intervene in the political affairs of Suzhou now, Xu Ziling does not want Li Shimin to be suspicious, and besides, this matter is no longer within the scope of his responsibility, so he must inform Li Shimin of the situation here one by one.

The secret letter was worn out, and Li Shimin replied on the same day, and it can be seen that Li Shimin attaches great importance to this matter, and he wrote in the letter: "I will hand over all the affairs of Suzhou to you, and if necessary, you can act cheaply." ”
