Xu Changqing glanced at the two Dongchang fans, and said bitterly: "Regarding the matter of Father-in-law Wei, the saint is extremely disappointed in our Jinyiwei. The East Factory and Jinyiwei have been fighting openly and secretly for many years, and now Jinyiwei has lost power, and the East Factory is naturally arrogant to the extreme. An important prisoner like me, how can an ordinary arrest be qualified to escort him? ”

Xu Liang sighed with emotion and asked, "If Brother Xu doesn't want to go to Liaodong to suffer that crime, I have a way to leave you behind." You know, I still run a few businesses in the Jiangnan provinces, and it's not difficult to arrange a place for a person. ”

Xu Changqing pondered for a while, shook his head, and said, "No need. Even the emperor is concerned about my whereabouts, and if there is another incident, it will be very disadvantageous to Yu Jinyiwei and my wife and children in Beijing. ”

Xu Liang asked, "How old is Ling Gongzi?" ”

Xu Changqing showed a relieved smile on his face, and said: "The eldest son is already sixteen years old, and if he studies in the county school and works hard for a few more years, there should be no problem in fighting for the status of a jinshi." ”

Xu Liang looked at Xu Changqing's expression, and guessed that the reason why Xu Changqing was willing to surrender to the law was mostly because he took into account the future future of his eldest son. Thinking that Xu Changqing was already going to be assigned to Liaodong, the identity of the Xu family's son was very problematic, and he couldn't help asking: "If something like this happens, can Ling Gongzi still participate in the imperial examination?" ”

Xu Changqing said: "Thanks to our Lord Luo's intercession, the Holy Lord is extraordinarily gracious. Although Xu went to Liaodong, it was not a full recharge. According to Commander Luo, it is to guard the border for the court for three years, and after the three years, he can return to Jinyiwei. ”

Xu Liang listened to it and said happily: "In this way, it is a good result." ”

It seems that this trip came to see off in person. It's quite worth it. Xu Changqing was not assigned to Liaodong as a criminal official as the rumors said. There is actually the possibility of returning to Jinyiwei! With Commander Luo's attitude towards Xu Changqing, it is not difficult for Xu Liang to speculate. Three years later, as long as Luo Yangxing is still serving as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, then Xu Changqing will be reused, and that is a sure thing.

Xu Liang felt a lot happier in his heart, and chatted with Xu Changqing about the lock at home, and when the two escorted Dongchang fans stepped forward to urge twice, Xu Liang and Xu Changqing separated.

When I returned to Pingliang City, it was two days later.

Seeing the two Qincha masters again, Zhang Nianyun's face was gloomy like a dark cloud before a storm.

In the lobby of Pingliang Mansion. Qiao Yunsheng and Zhang Nianyun sat behind the desk, the guards on both sides of the Qin Cha stood with their heads held high, Zhang Nianyun was shocked, and Sen Ran asked: "Pingliang Tong knows Xu Liang, Ben Qin sent you here today to ask you something about the things before and after the accident of the prince, and you have to answer according to it." ”

Xu Liang saluted respectfully, his attitude was extremely upright, and said, "Qin sent an inquiry." This official must know everything, and he must say everything! ”

"On November 18, did you lead an army with the prince to Jingning City?" Zhang Nianyun asked.

"Exactly."

"After retaking Jingning City, why did you leave the prince behind? Lead most of the men and horses back to Pingliang alone? ”

"Lord Chincha, it's not right for you to ask." Xu Liang said, "It's not that this official insists on leading the army back to Pingliang. But at that time, there was a big incident in Pingliang City, and Ye Yanqing, the commander of Anton Zhongwei, suddenly led the officers and soldiers of the guard to seize the west city gate. There was a conflict with the Pingliang guerrilla army, and the official tried to quell the turmoil as much as possible. Only then did he hurriedly lead his army back to the city. ”

"What this official is asking is why you just left the prince behind?" Zhang Nianyun asked.

"Qincha Rongyu!" Xu Liang arched his hand and shouted: "The prince is the main envoy of the bandits, before the official returned to the city, he specially asked the prince for instructions, and the prince said that Jingning City was newly attached, he couldn't rest assured, and insisted on staying in Jingning City!" In order to protect the safety of the prince, the official also specially allocated 6,000 Liang troops under the command of the prince! ”

Xu Liang opened his eyes and said nonsense, anyway, the prince is dead, Xu Liang can say whatever he wants, anyway, there is no proof of death, Zhang Qin wants to investigate, then he can only go to the underworld to find the dead ghost Wang Tiqian and ask clearly.

Zhang Nianyun choked, he really couldn't verify Xu Liang's statement, and said, "What you said, the official will naturally check it." Now this official asks you, why did you just lead your army out of Jingning City, and the prince had an accident? ”

Xu Liang rolled his eyes, and said with his nostrils facing the sky: "This official rushed back to Pingliang before the accident of the prince, why did the prince have an accident, where does this official know?" ”

"Hmph, doesn't Lord Xu think this time is too coincidental?" Zhang Nianyun asked coldly.

"Master Zhang's words are strange, there are many coincidental things in this world, God loves so many coincidences, what can this official do?" Xu Liang snorted lightly and said.

Zhang Nianyun was very angry when he heard this, and he slapped the shocked wood again, and shouted inwardly: "Xu Liang, pay attention to your attitude!" Ben Chin Cha is asking questions on behalf of the saints of today! ”

Xu Liang pursed his lips, although he was very disdainful of Zhang Nianyun in his heart, he was still very respectful on his face, and arched his hand: "This official knows that he is wrong, Lord Qincha, please continue to ask." ”

Isn't this the right language for me to speak? Zhang Nianyun was immediately angry when he heard this, and felt that his momentum as a minister could not suppress this Pingliang Tongzhi at all.

"That'...... Benchin asks you, do you know what the cause of the turmoil at the West Gate is? Zhang Qincha asked.

Xu Liang pretended to think for a while, and said blankly: "I don't know, most of it is Lord Ye of Anton Zhongwei who has an epileptic seizure, and he suddenly wants to come to such a show!" ”

"......" Zhang Qincha listened to the blowing of his beard and glared at him, and it took him a long time to recover, and asked in a cold voice: "Four days ago, Lord Xu left Pingliang City without asking for instructions, where did you go?" ”

Xu Liang glared and asked, "This is also related to the case of the prince?" ”

Zhang Qincha said angrily: "Although this matter is not directly related to the death of the prince, Ben Qincha wants to know!" ”

Xu Liangdeng said unconvinced: "Since it has nothing to do with the affairs of the prince, then this is the privacy of this official, and this official refuses to answer!" ”

"You have to answer!" Zhang Qincha raised his voice and shouted.

"Master Zhang!" Xu Liang also lowered his voice and said with a sneer: "If this official remembers correctly, the Holy Lord just sent you to thoroughly investigate the case of the prince, it is related to the case of the prince, and Lord Zhang naturally has the right to ask, as for other things, like this official knows from Sipin Pingliang, where he has gone these days, what has he done, he slept in that lady's room at night, and he went to the thatched house a few times in the morning...... This kind of thing, you don't need to know, and you don't have the right to know. If Lord Zhang still asks the bottom of the official's private affairs like this, the official has reason to suspect that you are targeting me! ”

"Bold! How dare you speak to Ben Chin Cha like that! Zhang Nianyun shouted angrily.

Xu Liang sneered: "Master Zhang, you are a Qincha, don't forget, the size of this official is also a Qincha!" The prince is the chief envoy of the bandits, but the official is the deputy envoy of the bandits! The holy decree is still in my house and is offered with incense every day, if Lord Zhang doesn't believe it, this official will let people go back and fetch it for you to see! Hmph, you are a Qincha, and this official is also a Qincha! ”

"You ......" Zhang Nian transported you for a long time, but he couldn't say anything cruel, he suddenly remembered that Xu Liang was indeed a bandit, and he was making the prince die, but the deputy envoy was still standing in the hall.

"Alright, both adults are angry!" Qiao Yunsheng, the secretary of the criminal department who had been leaning on the chair of the Taishi, finally came forward to play a round, he bowed his hands to Xu Liang and Zhang Nianyun, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Lord Zhang, don't be angry, it's all to better do errands for the emperor, why fight each other." That's all for today's question. ”

Xu Liang snorted lightly, arched his hand towards Qiao Shangshu, and strode away with his sleeves.

Zhang Nianyun was still snorting angrily, Qiao Shangshu glanced at him, and said faintly: "Lord Zhang, there is no hurry to investigate the case for a while, we have to calm down." If you want to govern a high-ranking official like Xu Liang, who is a third- or fourth-grade official in the DPRK and China, there is no real and definite evidence, and if you only take advantage of your tongue, you will only fall behind! This official has been in charge of the Criminal Department for many years, and the strange and big cases he has handled are all judged by evidence, as long as the evidence is conclusive, let alone say that he is an official of the third or fourth grade, even if it is the sixth department and nine secretaries, the emperor's relatives and relatives, this official dares to bring them to justice! But if you can't come up with evidence, even if you are a Shengdou Xiaomin, you don't want to move him at all! ”

Zhang Yushi was stunned when he heard this, got up and gave a sincere bow to Qiao Shangshu, "The ministry has good words, the lower officials have been taught!" ”

Zhang Yushi walked out of the lobby of the prefect's yamen and was about to go back to his house, when he saw a blue-robed official approaching, the two approached, and the official smiled at Zhang Yushi: "I've seen Lord Yushi of the capital!" ”

Zhang Yushi hummed softly and walked by as if no one was around. (To be continued......)
