Duan Zongqi was silent for a while, turned around and returned to the table, picked up the small wine jug on the table with a change of hand, and poured several sips of it, the spicy taste of the liquor stimulated Duan Zongqi to stick out his tongue and grin.

He stared at his bronze bell-like eyes, panting heavily, and shouted at Xu Liang, "My lord, it may be a little troublesome to meet Governor Liu here tonight." However, fortunately, Governor Liu has been safely sent to Pingliang City, and the task has been completed. I want to take my leave, so take care. ”

Drink cold water and stuff your teeth, fart and hit your heels, if this person is unlucky, he can get into trouble when he comes out to eat. Tsing Yiwei's assassination of Governor Liu, although with the help of Duan Zongqi, eliminated the troubles, even if Governor Liu suspected Xu Liang in his heart, he could not produce conclusive evidence.

However, tonight, Governor Liu actually bumped into Duan Zhigang, the chief flag officer of Jinyiwei, and Xu Liang, the same acquaintance of Pingliang, were drinking in the best private room in the Drunken Immortal Building.

Xu Liang sighed lightly and said, "Duan Zongqi take care." If there is news of Xu Qianhu, please let me know in time. ”

Duan Zongqi nodded, arched his hand towards Xu Liang and Tietou, shook his head a few times, it seemed that he could sober up faster, looked at the direction of the door, and walked out.

Xu Liang stood by the window, standing with his hands in his hands, looking in the direction of the prefect's yamen, his expression regretful for a while, and absolute for a while.

Tietou walked over, followed Xu Liang's gaze into the distance, and asked softly, "Young Master, are you fast?" ”

Xu Liang smiled: "It's almost there." ”

……

When night falls, it is time for dinner, and the pedestrians on the main streets of Pingliang City are gradually becoming scarce. Most of them rushed home for dinner.

Governor Liu and the others walked silently along the street when they got out of the Drunken Immortal Tower.

Governor Liu's face was pale, and his expression was fierce. In the Drunken Immortal Building, he bumped into Duan Zhigang, the chief flag officer of Jinyiwei, and Xu Liang were having dinner on the third floor. It made Governor Liu have many bad associations in his heart.

The three men in black who failed to assassinate Governor Liu and were captured all died overnight. Governor Liu originally saw that everyone was dead. At the time, I just felt regretful, but I didn't plan to dig deeper. Because judging from the deaths of the three black-clothed men, it is not yet possible to completely conclude that Jinyiwei did something.

However, tonight, seeing Duan Zongqi and Xu Liang sitting in the same room eating and drinking, Governor Liu was sure that the death of the three black-clothed men was absolutely inseparable from Jinyiwei.

"Damn! Bastard! ”

Governor Liu scolded angrily, and angrily made Shi Junsheng and Qin Feng behind him not approach. Shi Junsheng said to Master Lu: "Master Lu, Lord Zhongcheng is in a bad mood, but this meal should always be eaten, right?" Xia Guan knew that there was another restaurant in front of him. Although the fame is not as famous as Zuixianlou, the cook's skills are also very good. Look, why don't Master Lu go up and persuade him? ”

Master Lu rolled his eyelids and said in a cold voice: "Inviting Lord Zhongcheng to come out for a drink was originally Lord Shi's idea, why didn't Master Shi go up to persuade him?" ”

Shi Zhixian sneered and said: "No, Lord Zhongcheng is angry, Xiaguan and Lord Zhongcheng are not familiar with each other after all......"

Master Lu snorted lightly and turned his head away disdainfully. Look at the shop signs along the street.

Shi Zhixian was suddenly embarrassed, and scolded secretly in his heart: The dog looks down on people, and Master Lu is just a talented person with a low name, in front of my dignified second-class jinshi. What a stinky shelf!

Although he was indignant at Master Lu's behavior in his heart, Shi Zhixian finally had a chance to get close to the dignified governor of Shaanxi, and he was counting on Governor Liu to keep the black gauze hat on his head.

Come to think of it. Shi Zhixian hated Xu Liang who didn't do anything with money. In order to redeem the two sisters of Yicui Shuangshu from Guyuan Yicui Building, Shi Zhixian took out the gold and silver jewelry of the concubines in the first three rooms of the family and pawned them for silver. After the two twin sisters were redeemed. Shi Zhixian didn't even want to touch it, so he gave it to Xu Liang.

Such a large amount of money and the sincerity of bribery. is looking forward to Xu Liang being able to open up to himself and let himself go in the inspection of Pingliang Mansion officials! Who knew that Xu Liangxin was ruthless, the gifts were received, and the people were taken care of, while enjoying the little beauty he sent, he commented on Shi Junsheng during the official inspection!

An unscrupulous comment can ruin Shi Junsheng's career, how can Shi Zhixian not hate?

Shi Zhixian cowered and looked at Liu Zhilun, the governor of Shaanxi who was striding at the front, and his face was entangled in whether to step forward, looking at Governor Liu's face, Shi Zhixian Yan Zhan Ng doubted that if he stepped forward at this moment, he would bump into Governor Liu's anger and provoke a scolding. However, if you don't go up, Governor Ren Liu will go all the way with a snort, will you still eat this banquet?

Shi Junsheng glanced at Qin Feng of Chongxin Zhixian next to him, and saw that his cowering appearance was even more unbearable than himself, and he couldn't help but decisively give up the idea of throwing this problem to Qin Feng.

As soon as you grit your teeth, stomp your feet, and say in your heart, hit your head and hit your head! Shi Zhixian had a humble smile on his face, walked a few steps, caught up with Governor Liu, bowed his hands, and called with a smile: "Lord Zhongcheng......"

Governor Liu has taken this part of the road, and he has already guessed the tricks between Jinyiwei and Xu Liang in his heart, but in fact, his heart has almost smoothed out. Hearing Shi Zhixian's cordial call behind him, he couldn't help but stop, turned his head, looked at Shi Zhixian, and said softly: "Oh, it's Junsheng...... Uh, Master Shi, what's wrong with you? ”

I saw Shi Junsheng, the magistrate of Zhenyuan County, facing Governor Liu, but his eyes did not fall on Governor Liu's head, but crossed Governor Liu and looked straight into the distance, with a sincere smile on his face, but his eyes were opened to the maximum, and his lips trembled.

"Master Shi?" Governor Liu called out strangely again.

Shi Junsheng raised a trembling hand and slowly stretched it out, pointing to the night sky in the distance.

Governor Liu didn't understand what Shi Zhixian meant, but he suddenly saw Qin Feng and Master Lu also stand up suddenly, looking at the night sky with a shocked expression.

What's going on? Governor Liu suddenly felt that the sky seemed to be brighter, he turned his head sharply, looked at the night sky, and couldn't help but be stunned.

In the distance, a few streets away, a bright red firelight reflected half of the sky, and under the light of the fire, you could even see the dust in the columns of smoke that drifted in the wind, and there was a faint sound of burning things that were peeled off.

The fire was getting brighter and brighter, and that was probably the reason why the house was on fire.

The light of the fire in the sky attracted the attention of everyone on the street, and people stopped and looked in amazement at the fire in the night sky not far away.

"It's on fire!"

"Hurry up and put out the fire......"

The crowd began to stir, and the people of Pingliang City, who had recovered from the shock, ran home, carried buckets of water and rushed to the place where the fire started.

"Where is this fire?" Governor Liu also reacted quickly and asked in a deep voice.

Master Lu also just arrived in Pingliang City with Governor Liu, and he was not familiar with the layout of the city, so he couldn't answer, so he looked at Shizhi County and Qin Zhixian.

Shi Zhixian's face turned pale, and he muttered: "Looking at the direction, the prefect's yamen seems to be in that position." (To be continued......)
