General Wang's face was even darker, and his voice was hoarse, "General Ben is doing right, standing upright, frank and open, and when the light is bright, why are you afraid of retribution?" ”

"It sounds better than it sang." Xu Liang wanted to vomit when he heard this, smiled coldly, and said quietly: "The mansion next to it is not clear, but when it comes to the cheeky Cheng Dù, General Soldier Wang has made the mansion refreshing and breathtaking. Wang Zongbing can sit firmly in the position of the chief soldier of the Beijing camp, presumably in addition to the blessing of the ancestors, the character of thick skin and black heart is also an important factor. ”

"Hmph," Mr. Wang knew that when it came to playing tricks, ten of them were not Xu Liang's opponents, so he simply lowered his eyelids and said in a deep voice: "Lord Xu, General Ben is busy with official business, and he doesn't have time to fight a war of words with you." Now that General Ben has come, if Lord Xu has anything to say, let's say it clearly. ”

Xu Liang glanced at Wang Pu, his expression turned cold, and his tone became cold, "When Wang Zongbing left Beijing, he brought a group of loyal subordinates over, Zhang Lang, Xu Maogong, Wang Wu, and Tian Shouye are the personal guards of Wang Zongbing, and the four of them are not weak in fists and feet, and they are loyal to Wang Zongbing...... Isn't this government wrong? ”

Listening to Xu Liang clearly report the names of the four assassins, Wang Zongbing's long-standing fears were finally verified. Yes, the four assassins were indeed the personal guards of General Wang, as Xu Liang said, and followed him all the way from the capital to Shaanxi.

Wang Pu originally knew that his close friend Yang He would be promoted to the governor of the three sides, but he suffered a dumb loss at the hands of Xu Liang, and after reporting to Hong Chengchou, the governor of Shaanxi, but did not get a response, Wang Pu looked forward to Yang He's arrival as soon as possible, so as to use the power of his close friend. cleaned up Xu Liang fiercely and vented his evil anger to himself.

However, Governor Yang eventually listened to Governor Hong's advice. not only encircled Xu Liang, but also acted as a peacemaker in the middle, and actually hoped that Wang Pu and Xu Liang would eliminate the misunderstanding and shake hands and make peace!

Governor Yang was in battle against the water, which was particularly difficult for Wang Pu to accept. In fact, Originally, General Wang would not have gone to the step of sending someone to assassinate Xu Liang. In the final analysis, Pingliang Mansion is still Xu Liang's territory, and the officials of Pingliang states and counties are only Xu Liang's head, and several officials who did not listen to Xu Liang's greetings were cleaned up by Xu Liang. Xu Liang has a very high prestige among the officials of Pingliang Mansion. And with heavy troops in hand, killing such a person is undoubtedly a difficult action.

However. After Governor Yang's reception banquet, Xu Liang actually went to Yicui Building to steal jade and incense, and the accompanying guards were lax, and only the usual four guards followed.

A godsend! Wang Zongbing thought to himself that if he killed Xu Liang at this time. Xu Liang died on the belly of the top girl in Yicui Building. Not only did he have a bad anger for himself, but he could also blame Yi Cuilou!

The grudge against Xu Liang made Wang Pu lose his mind in an instant, so that after the reception banquet ended, Wang Pu arranged four strong personal guards to sneak into Yicui Tower and wait for an opportunity to assassinate Xu Liang.

The four pro-soldiers were ordered to leave, but they have not returned. Until the day before, Wang Zongbing, who was uneasy, received a private message from Xu Liang inviting him to meet.

This is where the big mistake is made. Wang Pu was very reluctant to come. However he had to come. As long as the life and death of those four people are uncertain, Wang Zongbing will not be able to live in peace for a day.

Wang Pu's cold eyes looked at Xu Liang for a while, and he suddenly smiled, and said: "Lord Xu is so capable, he even inquired about the names of the general's personal soldiers. But...... Lord Xu didn't seem to have inquired carefully enough, and it was true that the four people that Lord Xu said used to be the general's bodyguards, but seven days ago, these four people had been expelled from the Beijing camp by the general for violating military regulations. At the moment, these four people have nothing to do with General Ben. ”

With such the ability to open his eyes and tell nonsense, Xu Liang couldn't help but glance at Wang Pu. The assassination of the four was four days ago, but Wang Pu said at this moment that the four were removed from the army seven days ago. Just with such a clever ability to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, even Xu Liang couldn't help but admire.

Mr. Wang said that everything was dead, and it would be meaningless for Xu Liang to pretend to be hard. Immediately, his face sank, and he stared at Wang Pu coldly and said, "General Wang, Ming people don't say dark words. Yi Cuilou's assassination, you and I both know what it is. You might as well tell you that Zhang Lang and the four of them have been captured alive, and today I called Mr. Wang to come over, just for the sake of my colleagues, to show Mr. Wang a way out. ”

Wang Pu's face changed, he stood up suddenly, pressed the handle of the knife with his hand, and shouted inwardly: "There are only four little people who have been removed, and Lord Xu wants to bite General Shangben, and Lord Xu can't help but underestimate my Wang." Lord Xu was assassinated, and this general can find 10,000 reasons to excuse himself! ”

Xu Liang looked at Wang Pu and said lightly: "With those four poor assassins alone, naturally they can't help General Wang. However, Mr. Wang may not be very familiar with this officer, and he does not know much about some situations. There is a special group of people under this government, they are very good at extorting confessions by torture, and it is said that there are a few talents who are poached from the Beizhen Fusi and the Dongji Factory, and even if the ability level of these people is not as good as that of the Beizhen Fusi and the Dongji Factory, it must not be much worse. The four personal soldiers mentioned by Wang Zongbing fell into the hands of these people, and the government believes that it will not be difficult for the government to ask for any incriminating evidence from their mouths when the time comes! ”

Xu Liang looked at Mr. Wang playfully and asked softly, "Mr. Wang wants to know what incriminating evidence the government intends to have?" ”

Wang Pu's face turned pale, like a dead man's face, he looked at Xu Liang in horror and muttered to himself: "What...... What incriminating evidence? ”

"That's a lot." Xu Liang sat on the Taishi's chair leisurely, pulled the fingers of his left hand, and said: "For example, colluding with the Japanese Kou, making friends with close servants, secretly hiding tributes, **, fornicating with harem concubines...... Wait, in short, whatever evidence of crime costs human life, it will be based on what evidence of the crime. I am going to go over the Da Ming Law again in the next few days, and put all the felonies of the Nine Clans above on your Wang Zongbing. ”

"You...... How can you do that? You're a demon! Wang Pu finally realized Xu Liang's stakes, and pointed at Xu Liang tremblingly, and cold sweat rolled down his face.

Wang Zongbing was so intimidated, Xu Liang felt very disappointed, and he also prepared a bunch of statements that he didn't have time to say.

"Wang Pu," Xu Liang said quietly, "What are you doing so nervous?" This government said at the beginning that I want to show you a way to live for Mr. Wang. Yo. Yo, the sweat on your face is so big, wipe it quickly. ”

Mr. Wang wiped his sweat blankly. Finally grasped the key point that Xu Liang said, fell to his knees with a thud, kowtowed to Xu Liang and begged: "Xu Liang, Lord Xu!" The lower officials have eyes and don't know Mount Tai, and they have offended you. If your boss doesn't remember the villain, let go of the lower officials. ”

"Spare you?" Xu Liang sneered, "Didn't you say that those four people had already been fired by you. Doesn't it matter to you what you say? ”

Wang Zongbing raised his head, looked at Xu Liang without tears, and raised his hand to give himself a big mouth. Said sarcastically: "Look at the memory of the official, it was the other four people who were expelled seven days ago, not Zhang Lang and them. ”

"Oh," Xu Liang said with a smile, "so to speak." Zhang Lang: They came to assassinate Benfu. Did you really instruct Wang Pu? ”

Wang Zongbing looked at Xu Liang in amazement, and saw Xu Liang looking at him coldly, his heart had been pinched by Xu Liang, and it was pointless to hold on to it, so he hung his head and said dejectedly: "It was the lower official who made a big mistake on the spur of the moment." ”

is such a coward, and he is still the chief soldier of the Beijing camp! Xu Liang was very contemptuous of Wang Pu, and sighed quietly. Chao Wang Pu said in a deep voice: "If you want the government to let you go, you have to do three things for the government." That's it. Zhang Lang's four people will return it to you, whether they kill or stay, listen to it. If you can't do it, then you can't live it. ”

"You, you say." Wang Pu asked worriedly.

Xu Liang said: "First: The Pingliang Prefect's Yamen in this mansion has been short of money and interests recently, and it seems that it is almost impossible to open the pot. Within three days, you will bring ten thousand taels of silver to this house. ”

When Wang Pu heard this, he said with a little embarrassment: "Lord Xu, Xia Guan led the army to Shaanxi, and he didn't bring many plates along the way, 10,000 taels of silver, and Xia Guan didn't have this number in his hands." ”

"That's Wang Pu's business. The official only looks at the results, as for whether you are going to steal or rob Mr. Wang, the official doesn't care. Xu Liang snorted coldly, and then said: "Second: Yang He, the governor of the three sides, suddenly ordered the officers and armies to shrink their fronts and not take the initiative to attack. It can be seen that General Wang is very familiar with Governor Yang, so you will ask Governor Yang for this order. ”

Wang Pu was embarrassed again, frowned and said: "For the rebellious army in the northwest, Zhao'an is the main thing, and the clean-up is supplemented, which is the strategy that Governor Yang set before he left Beijing, and now Governor Yang is going around making a wish with the leader of the people's army to recruit An, and ask Governor Yang to order the killing of Gao Zilin's people's army, which is greatly unfavorable to the plan of recruiting An, although Governor Yang and the lower officials are old acquaintances, but Governor Yang is very assertive, and he may not listen to me." ”

Xu Liang glared at Wang Pu viciously, "It's your business!" ”

"Also, the third one," Xu Liang continued, "Since the Guyuan guerrilla Li Ying and Pingliang guerrilla deputy general Long Feng were killed, the posts of guerrilla generals in Pingliang and Guyuan are vacant, and this official wants you to build a letter to Governor Yang and promote Wan Wenshan and Luo Caocai to the position of guerrilla generals. ”

Wang Pu was dumbfounded and shouted: "Lord Xu, are you kidding, Xia Guan is also a general soldier of the Beijing battalion, and he is soft-spoken, how can he influence the candidates for guerrilla generals in Pingliang and Guyuan?" ”

Xu Liang glared at Wang Pu menacingly.

Wang Pu sighed dejectedly and said, "Okay, this is also my business......"

Xu Liang cocked Erlang's legs and asked Wang Pudao: "How is it, have you heard the three things in this mansion clearly?" ”

Wang Pu's face was discouraged, he looked at Xu Liang, and said bitterly: "Lord Xu, in addition to the first three things you said, the lower officials are still somewhat sure, and the second and third lower officials are not sure at all, you see, can we have a discussion......

Xu Liang immediately interrupted Wang Pu's words, and sneered: "Wang Pu, you have to figure out the situation, if it weren't for the fact that you are still somewhat useful, I dared to assassinate this official at you, and this official would have a thousand ways to make you die." The official has called you over now, and you can only do multiple-choice questions, promise three things, or, punish the nine clans! ”

The words of the Nine Clans of Xulian came out of Xu Liang's mouth, causing Wang Pu to tremble, his face turned even paler, he lowered his head, and muttered, "Let me think about it, let me think about it." ”

"You should think about such a big thing." Xu Liang smiled lightly, "I heard that Mr. Wang just married the sixth concubine last year, and he was fifteen years old. Ah, I also heard that before Wang Zongbing left Beijing, the third lady of the house had just given birth to a son with a handle, alas, Wang Zongbing's first few children were all the same girl, and since then there are successors to the Wang family's incense, which is really gratifying......"

Xu Liang sat down and chatted about the affairs of Wang Zongbing's family, while Erlang's legs shook and shook, indescribably comfortable.

When Wang Zongbing heard this, he trembled more and more, like a pendulum, Xu Liang knew his family background so well, which shocked Wang Zongbing, thinking about the eighty-year-old parents in the family, the beautiful wife and concubine who were like flowers, and the grandchildren of the newborn Wang family......

After a long time, Mr. Wang slowly raised his head, stared at Xu Liang, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Xu, the lower officials have confessed!" However, the lower officials wanted to see Zhang Lang and the four of them with their own eyes. ”

Xu Liang smiled, he appreciated Wang Pu so well, he slapped twice behind the screen behind him, and after waiting for a while, there were four guards in Tsing Yi escorting Zhang Lang, who was stained with blood and scars all over his body.

Zhang Lang glanced at Wang Pu and hissed: "General, it's your subordinates who have caused you ......"

Wang Pu confirmed that Zhang Lang and the four were still alive, and knew that this time it was completely planted in Xu Liang's hands, so he arched his hand to Xu Liang and said: "Lord Xu, since the lower officials have agreed to your affairs, please hand over Zhang Lang and the four of them to the lower officials for disposal." ”

Xu Liang waved his hand and ordered the Tsing Yi guard to escort Zhang Lang and the four out again. Looking at Wang Pu with a smile, Xu Liang said: "General Wang is not making trouble, Zhang Lang and the four of them are in the hands of their own officials, and they are safe." As long as Mr. Wang has done those three things carefully, the official promises to return the four living personal soldiers and guards to you. ”

Wang Pu choked, and wanted to go back to Zhang Lang and the four of them, but it was just Wang Pu's temptation, seeing that Xu Liang really refused, Wang Pu couldn't help but sigh secretly. Wang Pu barely stood up straight, and arched his hand towards Xu Liang: "Since the matter has been negotiated, then the lower official will leave!" ”

After that, Wang Pu is leaving.

"Wait." Xu Liang stopped him, pointed to the dozen or so guards guarding Wang Pu's side, and said, "A few of you go out and wait outside, and this official and General Wang will have a few whispers." ”

Wang Pu was slightly stunned, nodded to the pro-soldiers, sent the pro-soldiers out first, and then stepped forward, looked at Xu Liang, and asked, "What else does Lord Xu want to say?" ”

Xu Liang said with a smile: "General Soldier Wang's hostility towards this official should not be so deep, this official is also kind, I remind you, what we talked about just now is extremely confidential matters, once the news leaks out, it will be very bad." Uh, can you rely on a dozen of your own soldiers? ”

When Wang Pu heard this, he was almost so angry that he vomited blood, and shouted angrily with his sleeves: "Don't bother your lord!" (To be continued......)
