Xu Liang hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "Lord Luo." ”

Commander Luo stepped forward and punched Xu Liang lightly on the shoulder, looking extremely close, and scolded with a smile: "You are eating imperial food in the palace, and I am waiting for you but standing here to drink the northwest wind, no, Lord Xu has to invite me to a meal." ”

Xu Liang was stunned and said, "Lord Luo is here, is it to wait for the next official?" ”

"Exactly." Luo commanded: "Let's go, this official invites Lord Xu to drink two cups." ”

Xu Liang thought that Commander Luo had always treated him well, and couldn't bear to brush off his kindness, so he nodded, and the two went out of the Huangji Gate to the noon gate, Xu Liang was about to get into his own carriage, Commander Luo stopped and said: "It's okay, Lord Xu is in the official's carriage, let's talk on the road." ”

Xu Liang was helpless, so he let his carriage follow behind, and he got into the carriage commanded by Luo. Chatting all the way on the way. After walking for a while, the carriage turned towards the Jinyi Guard's yamen and drove in through the side door. Xu Liang thought that Commander Luo saw that he must have something.

The two of them came to a quiet small room in the courtyard, where Xu Changqing and two school captains were already waiting inside, and a small round table was placed with a few exquisite dishes and a pot of old wine.

Commander Luo pointed to the two captains and waved his hand and said, "You two go outside to guard, and this official and Xu Qianhu will have dinner and drink with Lord Xu." ”

The two lieutenants of the brocade guard answered yes, and withdrew, and closed the door of the small room tightly.

The three people in the room sat down in priority and priority. The three of them walked around drinking, and Commander Luo sighed with emotion: "I didn't expect the emperor to let Lord Xu go to Pingliang to be the prefect, so it can be seen that Lord Xu's future future is limitless." ”

Xu Liang hurriedly corrected: "It's the same knowledge." ”

Commander Luo rolled his eyes and scolded with a smile: "Although the name is the same knowledge, the authority is actually the prefect." Judging from the emperor's attitude in the court today, the emperor will not go to the prefect of Pingliang again. ”

Xu Liangden admired Commander Luo.

Xu Qianhu got up again to persuade him to drink. Commander Luo said again: "Lord Xu, you are going to Pingliang to take office." With the support of the emperor, the people next to him are not afraid of anything, you must be careful of the people in the Imperial Court. ”

"This. Why is that? Xu Liang pretended not to understand, and said in surprise: "I have no holiday with the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Well water does not interfere with river water, beware of what they do? ”

Commander Luo laughed, pointed at Xu Liang and said, "Lord Xu, you are not sincere. ”

Xu Liang smiled eatingly: "How can I be insincere? ”

Luo commanded: "Our Ming Dynasty's science and technology officials are the most hard-boned, stinky tempered, and love to stir things up and bite people indiscriminately. No fashion can roll up three layers of waves, not to mention that you offended the left capital Yushi Cao Yubian so badly this time! Those stirring sticks are not fuel-efficient lamps, and the characters who blink and move their eyebrows, as long as Old Man Cao has a little bit of wind noise, this official dares to assure you, Lord Xu, that the folds that sue you will be able to fill the Heart Cultivation Palace! ”

Xu Liang was immediately indignant and scolded: "The old coffin scoop surnamed Cao has no grievances with me in the past, and he has no enmity recently, why does he frame me like this?" ”

Luo commanded: "Because he thinks you deserve to die, and you don't die!" He said. Commander Luo snorted coldly twice and said, "Don't look at the appearance of this old man's well-respected Shuode old minister, in fact, he is the most cautious!" He has worked with him for so many years. I know this person best. ”

Xu Liang was even more angry. After secretly hating for a while, he suddenly came to his senses, and said with a straight face to Commander Luo: "Lord Luo invited Xu here today, but there is something important to discuss?" ”

Commander Luo listened, and Xu Qianhu both stopped their chopsticks. Commander Luo asked Xu Liang: "Lord Xu, in your opinion, how is this brocade guard?" ”

Xu Liang didn't understand the meaning of Commander Luo's brainless words, so he said in a formal manner: "Jinyi Wei criminal investigation civil and military officials, the people of the world." Reporting directly to the emperor can be described as a monstrous authority. Lord Luo occupies a prominent position as the commander of the Jinyi Guard. The Holy Grace is not shallow. ”

Commander Luo shook his head lightly, "Lord Xu's words are good. But I don't understand the hardships of our Jinyiwei. The yamen in the criminal investigation world is not only Jinyiwei. The supervision authority of the East Investigation Factory over the hundred officials and Jinyiwei is still above my Jinyiwei. Moreover, because of the eunuch scum and the former commander Xu Xianchun, the current saint has always been suspicious of our Jinyiwei. ”

"What's the matter...... Xu Liang eats authentically.

"Hmph," Commander Luo said bitterly, "The taste of this is the best in this officer. If not, why did this time the matter of tracking down the Sheepskin Diamond Sutra not go through my brocade guard, but asked the cripples in the East Factory to take action, and deliberately used Wang Tiqian? ”

When Commander Luo talked about the Sheepskin Diamond Sutra, his eyes were fixed on Xu Liang, and he noticed Xu Liang's obvious stunned expression, and couldn't help but secretly say: Sure enough, Xu Liang really knows about the Sheepskin Sutra!

Xu Liang saw that Commander Luo and Xu Qianhu were staring at him, so he exclaimed: "I didn't expect Lord Luo to also know the Sheepskin Diamond Sutra!" ”

Commander Luo smiled and said proudly, "That's nature." Hehe, the matter of the scriptures was confessed by Liu Ruoyu in my Jinyiwei prison. Then Commander Luo took out a letter written by Xu Liang to Feng Suqin, put it in front of Xu Liang, and asked, "Lord Xu, do you also know the Sheepskin Diamond Sutra?" ”

Xu Liang nodded.

"How do you know?" Commander Luo asked in a raised voice.

Xu Liang said: "It's a long story. A month ago, the prince of Dongchang summoned me and other thieves to suppress the fourth lady of Maling, when the governor of Wu ordered a siege but not an attack, Xu happened to be among the expedition, and it happened that some of my soldiers had relatives in the army of the fourth lady, so I rebelled against him and did the internal response. Hehe, after ten days of surrounding the mountain, the prince actually sent someone to bring this Diamond Sutra to the mountain to persuade him to surrender, and the four young ladies saw the Diamond Sutra and their faces changed greatly, and when they discussed with the leaders of the thieves, they told the matter of the sheepskin Diamond Sutra, which I should know, and went down the mountain overnight to sue me. ”

Xu Liang saw that Commander Luo and Xu Qianhu looked nervous, and even looked a little fierce, and he was sure that the Sheepskin Diamond Sutra was of great significance to them, so he made up a story and told it to the two.

However, Commander Luo did not doubt the authenticity of Xu Liang's words at all. Because of the matter of the first battle of Maling, Jinyiwei's investigation was clear, and Wang Tiqian ordered someone to bring an ordinary Diamond Sutra to the mountain to persuade him to surrender, and Commander Luo knew about it. So Commander Luo didn't doubt it.

"Who is the fourth lady?" Commander Luo asked urgently.

Xu Liang said: "According to Wang Gonggong, these four young ladies are the only relatives of Wei Gonggong in the world, she is the daughter of Wei Gonggong's daughter, and she is considered a granddaughter. In the world, I am afraid that the only person who knows the whereabouts of the sheepskin Diamond Sutra is this fourth lady. ”

"Do you know the whereabouts of the scriptures?" Commander Luo asked again.

Xu Liang shook his head and said, "I only know that one of them is in the hands of the head of the Loujiabao family, and it seems to have been presented to the emperor by the governor of the three sides, Lord Wu Zhiwang." As for the other four, I don't know. ”

Commander Luo was a little disappointed, and exchanged glances with Xu Qianhu, and Commander Luo said: "Lord Xu, this time Luo invited you to come for the matter of the Sheepskin Diamond Sutra. Lord Xu is about to go to Pingliang to take office in the near future, and right now, the official wants to do business with Lord Xu. ”

"You want me to find those books?" Xu Liang asked.

"No, no." Luo Commander said: "You just need to figure out where those scriptures are hidden, and I, Jinyiwei, will do the rest." This matter has a lot to do with Jinyiwei, the court, and the emperor. After the matter is completed, the official should declare the merit for Lord Xu and increase the official to the knighthood. ”

When Xu Liang heard this, he chuckled for a while, and asked strangely, "If I know the whereabouts of the scriptures and report them directly to the emperor, wouldn't it be faster to be promoted if I was appreciated by the emperor?" ”

When Xu Qianhu heard this, his face turned a little pale, and he sweated in his heart, secretly thinking that he had missed this stubble. Yes, if people really know the whereabouts of the scriptures, wouldn't the credit be greater if they went to the emperor to report it? Why bother to change hands from Jinyiwei to the Taoist again, and share the credit for nothing? Thinking of this, Xu Qianhu looked at Commander Luo nervously.

Commander Luo stared at Xu Liang straight for a long time, then suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, pointed at Xu Liang and said, "Lord Xu is a smart person, and this official likes to talk to smart people. Yes, if you hand it over directly to the emperor, it will indeed be a great achievement, and the emperor may be able to promote the official of the lord. However, Lord Xu, if the emperor can protect you for a while, can he protect you for a lifetime? Have you forgotten that you offended the Metropolitan Procuratorate in the capital, and you offended the Han Wangfu in the local area! If these two forces want to find trouble with Lord Xu, I don't know how Lord Xu will deal with it? ”

Xu Liang's face was covered with cold sweat! Yes, in front of the two major forces of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Han Wangfu, Xu Liang may not even have a chance to fight back!

Commander Luo was very satisfied with Xu Liang's reaction, waited for a while, came to Xu Liang, and said faintly: "If Lord Xu hands over the news to me Jinyiwei, not only will the credit not be lost to your Lord Xu, but also, if you offend the trouble of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Han Wangfu, Jinyiwei will settle it for you!" Such a good thing that benefits others and oneself, why doesn't Lord Xu do it? ”

Xu Liang was thrilled when he heard this. (To be continued)
