The carriage stopped, and the Tsing Yi guard who accompanied the carriage looked at the middle-aged man in the cyan shirt vigilantly, the man's demeanor was very calm, carrying a lantern, and his body bowed slightly, to show respect for the people in the carriage. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Xu Liang lifted the corner of the carriage, stared at the man carefully, then softened his tone and said, "It turned out to be Steward Xu." Steward Xu stopped the official's frame, I don't know what is going on? ”

Duan Zhigang rode a horse and stood next to the carriage, and when he heard this, he looked at Steward Xu, and then he saw clearly that there was indeed a small Xu character written on the red lantern.

A housekeeper surnamed Xu? Duan Zhigang turned around in his mind, thinking about the Xu family with names and surnames in the Jingshi, and suddenly thought of the relationship between his own master and the second assistant Xu Guangqi, and couldn't help but be shocked: Could it be that this person is from the old mansion of Xu Ge?

Steward Xu's answer quickly verified Duan Zhigang's conjecture, and Steward Xu bowed and said to Xu Liang: "Lord Xu, my master is invited!" ”

Xu Liang was slightly stunned, then with an embarrassed expression, he said regretfully: "That's really unlucky." This official has something important to do today, and he really doesn't have the time to visit Xu Ge Lao. I also asked Steward Xu to return to Xu Ge Lao, and the official personally came to the door to make amends another day. After that, Xu Liang was about to put down the car curtain.

Steward Xu raised his eyebrows slightly, and then asked, "The moon is dark and the wind is high tonight, and it's so late, what else does Lord Xu have to do?" Tsk, seeing that the direction of Lord Xu's going is pointing to Zhengyang Gate, is Lord Xu in a hurry to get out of the city? But by this time the gates should have been closed. ”

Xu Liang's tone was cold: "Steward Xu talks too much. ”

The curtain of the carriage had been completely lowered, Duan Zhigang glanced at Steward Xu sharply, and then waved his hand, and the carriage started again.

Steward Xu stood on the side of the street, did not move, watched the carriage go forward, and suddenly said: "Lord Xu, my master said that he has thought of a way to solve the court push incident, which can ensure that Lord Xu and Lord Huang are safe." ”

Xu Liang's voice came out of the carriage, and he refused to say that he was thousands of miles away: "I'm really sorry, this official is not interested in listening." ”

The carriage was moving farther and farther away, and it was about to turn a corner and disappear. Steward Xu suddenly said loudly again: "Lord Xu, my master specially asked me to tell you that Gonggong Cao of the East Factory has ambushed a large number of people in the East Factory, Lord Xu must not have the idea of robbing the prison!" ”

After Steward Xu finished speaking, Xu Liang's carriage slammed into it.

Duan Zhigang also listened to Steward Xu's words, and asked in a panic: "My lord, will what Steward Xu said be true, what should we do?" ”

Xu Liang was silent, his face cloudy. With his understanding of Xu Guangqi, Xu Ge Lao is not like the kind of person who has no purpose. Most of his reminders are true.

Lenovo East Factory Huang Huachun had been strictly controlling the situation inside the East Factory until he interrogated Luo Bing and Chai Laoliu before he relaxed his vigilance, and was able to let Tsing Yiwei's secret agents ambushed inside the East Factory pass on the news.

Among them, could it be a trap? Tonight, Tietou and Yan Qi led people to storm the Yamen of Dongchang, will it be self-defeating?

Moreover, Xu Ge Lao said that he had a way to rescue Zodiac Zhou peacefully, is this true?

Xu Liang pondered for a while, and finally made a decision in his heart, and said in a deep voice to Duan Zhigang: "Zhigang, you go and inform Tietou and Yan Qi, suspend the action, and wait for the order!" ”

"Your Excellency?" Duan Zhigang exclaimed in surprise.

"Go! Hopefully, it's still too late. Xu Liang said.

When Duan Zhigang heard this, he gave up his hand with a solemn face and slapped his horse away.

A Tsing Yi Wei returned to the place where Steward Xu was standing along the road, and arched his hand at Steward Xu and said, "Steward Xu, my lord invites you to come over." ”

The corners of Steward Xu's mouth drew a smile arc, nodded, walked unhurriedly to Xu Liang's carriage, and arched his hand: "Lord Xu, do you have a decision in your heart?" ”

Xu Liang's voice came out of the carriage: "This official is suddenly interested in Xu Ge Lao's proposal, and he will lead the way. ”

Steward Xu smiled slightly, and walked forward, his eyes swept around the accompanying Tsing Yi guards, and he didn't see Duan Zhigang riding a horse, and he knew it in his heart.

Xu Ge Lao's mansion was very quiet, under the two lanterns at the door, there were only two doormen, seeing Xu Liang's carriage coming, and seeing Xu Steward appear, the doorman hurriedly opened the door and put Xu Liang in.

"Lord Xu, please come here. Xu Ge is waiting for you in the living room. Steward Xu said, and then led the way in front.

Xu Liang nodded, followed Steward Xu to the living room, and behind him, closely followed by four Tsing Yi guards.

The living room of the Xu Mansion was really lit up, and Xu Kejia walked to the door, but no longer moved forward, but lowered his hand and said, "Elder Xu Ge is inside, Lord Xu, please come in." ”

Xu Liang nodded, raised his feet and went in, and the four Tsing Yi guards behind him followed closely and were about to follow in, Xu Liang said, "You are waiting outside the door." ”

"Yes." When the four Tsing Yi guards heard this, they stopped and took it back, and two stood on the left and right, guarding the door of the living room like door gods.

The living room of Xu's Mansion was as bright as day, Xu Liang went in, raised his eyes, and was slightly stunned.

Waiting in the living room, not only Xu Ge Lao, but also Sun Chengzong, the governor of Jiliao. When the two old men saw Xu Liang coming in, they both felt a little relieved.

"Xu Liang, you're here, please take a seat." Elder Xu Ge smiled and nodded, then pointed to the seat facing Elder Sun.

Xu Liang could feel that there were only two elders in the living room, and there was no arrangement for even a waiting maid. He sat down opposite Sun Ge Lao with confidence, nodded slightly at Sun Chengzong, and then asked, "Xu Ge Lao summoned him late at night, I don't know what advice I have?" ”

Elder Xu Ge was silent for a moment, and then said thoughtlessly: "Today, Gonggong Cao entered the palace to face the saint." ”

Xu Liang understood, but he pretended not to understand, and said with a smile: "Cao Huachun is the governor of Dongchang, and his entry into the palace to face the saint is like a common thing, what is unusual." ”

Xu Ge Lao frowned, and was a little dissatisfied with Xu Liang pretending to be stupid like this, so he made it clear: "Luo Bing and that fake Wei Hongchai Lao Liu can't stand the punishment in the edict prison, and they have already been recruited." ”

Xu Liang paused, and said lightly: "What did the two of them do?" ”

"Visiting recruits, they have all recruited!"

Xu Liang shrugged, "What does this have to do with this official?" ”

Xu Ge Lao stared at Xu Liang and said, "The confession said that the things that were pushed by the court were all planned by you Xu Liang. ”

Xu Liang felt very funny, looked at the two elders, and said with a smile: "What they said, you believe it?" The two pavilion elders should also think that I Xu Liang did this, right? ”

Xu Ge said with a heart: Who else can there be besides you! However, Xu Liang pretended to be stupid, but Xu Ge Lao couldn't say it clearly, and he couldn't think of any good words to deal with Xu Liang for a while, and he couldn't help but be a little annoyed.

At this time, Sun Chengzong, the governor of Jiliao, raised his eyes and looked at Xu Liang and said, "Lord Xu is a three-grade feudal territory, an important minister in the court!" Such a dirty thing, the old man and Xu Ge naturally believe that it will not be done by you, Lord Xu. It's just that some people actually want to secretly manipulate the results of the court and trample on the dignity of my Ming Dynasty, and the emperor and the cabinet are very angry about this. The emperor can't do anything to Lord Xu because of the oath. However, the beneficiary of this kind of thing is the Zodiac Zhou, although the confession has not obviously implicated the Zodiac Zhou, but the Zodiac Zhou is inevitably involved. The emperor was so angry that he had already said that he wanted to punish the nine clans of the Zodiac Zhou! The execution is scheduled for tomorrow! ”

Xu Liang felt a toothache, and every time he saw Sun Chengzong talking with a serious face, he felt the urge to go up and punch him in the mouth.

The corners of Xu Liang's mouth twitched a few times, and Sun Chengzong immediately said: "However, under the careful persuasion of the old man and Xu Gelao, it took a lot of effort to persuade the emperor to retract his will. Well, the emperor has let go, if Lord Xu wants to protect the Zodiac Zhou, he has to make some sacrifices. ”

Xu Liang sneered, the meat show is coming! Sun Chengzong said a lot of nonsense in front of him, and the ultimate goal was the latter sentence. If Xu Liang wanted to rescue Huang Daozhou, he had to compromise and agree to the emperor's conditions.

Xu Liang can already foresee that most of the emperor's conditions are also the opinions of the cabinet at the same time!

Xu Ge called himself to the house so late, it can be seen that the three old guys in the cabinet plus the young guy the emperor must have done a lot of homework in advance, maybe they have thought about the details of the rehearsal several times.

"Sacrifice?" Xu Liang sneered and looked at Sun Chengzong defiantly. "What sacrifice does the emperor want his official to make?"

At this time, the door of the living room opened, and Steward Xu came in with three cups of hot tea, and placed a cup on the coffee table on the side of the three people in the house. When Steward Xu walked to Xu Ge Lao's side, he leaned into Xu Ge Lao's ear and whispered a few words, and Xu Ge Lao frowned sharply when he heard it.

"Xu Liang, it's so late, you still want to go out of the city?" Elder Xu Ge asked Xu Liang in a deep voice, and then his face changed, "No, you want to leave the capital!" What do you want to do? ”

Xu Liang snorted lightly, "What does this official want to do, it seems that he doesn't have the obligation to report to the two elders, right?" ”

Xu Ge Lao said slowly: "This is the capital!" Xu Liang, don't play with fire and set yourself on fire! Do you think that quietly transferring 500 elite soldiers from Dai Feng, the general soldier of Tongzhou, into the city in disguise, will do this thing seamlessly, and you don't know it? Amusing! As soon as the people wearing the wind entered the city, the report of the Jinyi Guard was sent to the Heart Cultivation Palace. Hmm, did you hear what the old man asked the housekeeper to bring to you? Now that there are thousands of elites of Dongchang and Jinyiwei in ambush in Dongchang, if you stupidly want to rob Dongchang with those 500 elite soldiers, the old man advises you to die of this heart. ”

Xu Liang's face changed slightly, and he secretly wondered: Jin Yiwei's eyeliner is so good? However, listening to the fact that Huang Dao Zhou broke Xu Liang to ask for soldiers from Dai Feng, Xu Liang had to admit that the five hundred elite soldiers had been exposed to the eyes of Jinyiwei. And once Jinyiwei has to report, there must be news from the East Factory.

Alas, I don't know if Duan Zhigang found Tietou and Yan Qi? Once Tietou and the others rushed into the Dongchang Yamen with people, they would jump into the trap by themselves, and they couldn't say that Tietou and Yan Qi would fold inside.

Elder Xu Ge and Elder Sun Pavilion saw Xu Liang's worried look in their eyes, and the two of them were shocked, "You, you won't really send someone to rob the prison?" ”

Xu Liang pursed his lips and did not answer.

Seeing this, the two pavilion elders guessed that they were not far from ten, Xu Ge Lao looked at Xu Liang and sighed: "Xu Liang, you are too bold!" Is there anything else in this world that you don't dare to do?! ”

Sun Chengzong was a little excited, "If you can see with your own eyes the depressed expression of the invincible Shaanxi Governor Xu Liangxu when he lost five hundred elite soldiers, the old man is very much looking forward to it." ”

Xu Liang pouted, "Old Sun Ge's mouth is still so bad." ”

"Okay, we don't need to talk more, let's get down to business." Elder Xu Ge stroked his forehead and said speechlessly: "Elder Sun Ge was right before, the emperor was very angry that Xu Liang dared to secretly push the results of the court. If it weren't for the oath, Xu Liang, you would have been unable to escape this time. However, although the emperor does not dare to deal with you, he will definitely not let go of Zodiac Zhou. ”

"How credible are the confessions of Luo Bing and the fake Wei Hong? Everyone knows that once it falls into the hands of Dongchang, it is almost certain that it will be bent into a move. Xu Liang shook his head, still refusing to admit it.

Xu Ge said helplessly: "What is the truth of the facts, the old man doesn't say it, everyone here is very clear." Xu Liang: It doesn't make sense for you to deny it. Now the problem is that the zodiac week is dead. Alas, Huang Daozhou is the person who follows you Xu Liang closely, and now he will actually fall into the pitiful fate of the Zhujiu clan, Xu Liang, you can watch it and be indifferent? ”

Xu Liang was silent for a while, then frowned and said, "This official remembers that Steward Xu said that Xu Ge Lao has a way to protect Zodiac Zhou?" You might as well put forward the conditions of the court, right? ”

Elder Xu Ge glanced at Sun Chengzong, who nodded, took over the conversation, and said, "When the Son of Heaven is angry, the corpse is thousands of miles away!" The emperor was furious, and the old man and Xu Ge spent a lot of effort to persuade the emperor to open up the Internet and spare the zodiac a way out. However, the emperor also has conditions, and I hope you can agree to Xu Liang. ”

"Say it." Since the talk has begun, Xu Liang has not refused. After all, the life of the Zodiac Zhou is of great significance to himself.

Elder Sun Ge coughed lightly and said: "After Huang Daozhou experienced the court push incident, it is no longer suitable to be an official in the court, and the officials will remove Huang Daozhou from all official positions and demote him to a commoner. And he will not be allowed to be an official again for life. ”

"As for Xu Liang, as the main envoy this time, in order to show punishment, you were transferred from the governor of Shaanxi and transferred to the governor of Liaodong! Assist the old man to manage Liaodong. ”

Sun Ge Lao said slowly, Xu Liang's face sank when he heard this, and he immediately sneered dissatisfiedly: "The emperor has a good calculation!" slapped Huang Daozhou into a commoner, which is equivalent to ruining all the future of Huang Daozhou. And the foundation of this official is in Shaanxi, and I was transferred to Liaodong and placed under the supervision of more than 100,000 troops in Liaodong, is this a house arrest in disguise? ”

Sun Ge stroked his beard, and there was no surprise at all about Xu Liang's reaction, and said, "Xu Liang's words don't be so ugly!" You have committed such a big crime, and the emperor's refusal to demote you is already an extrajudicial favor. Besides, even if you are transferred out of Shaanxi, the court can guarantee you that within three to five years, all officials in Shaanxi will remain the same. ”

Xu Liang sneered, "I want to know, who will be the next governor of Shaanxi?" ”

Sun Ge's eyes lit up, and he was very surprised that Xu Liang grasped the key point of the matter so quickly.

"After you are transferred, there will be no governor in Shaanxi for the time being. The trilateral governor Hong Chengchou will serve as the governor of the trilateral and the governor of Shaanxi! "Sun Ge said. (To be continued.) )
