Chapter 106: A Life of Killing

Another sleepless night.

Early in the morning, the news brought back by Ah Feng of the Liang Ji Security Department that the guards in Nankang Mansion were very quiet, and they honestly stayed in the county government and didn't go anywhere.

Xu Liang relaxed slightly, and then thought again, what did He Tongju and Hong Tuiguan do when they went to visit Zhang Zhendong of the Jianchang Chamber of Commerce? He instructed Ah Feng, "Go and find Deputy Envoy Ge and General Xing!" ”

"Young master, you forgot, Deputy Envoy Ge went to Beijing according to your instructions and has not returned, and President Xing has gone to sea and has not returned." A wind road.

"And who's patrolling the camp now?" Xu Liang was stunned for a moment and asked.

"It seems that Deputy Envoy Huang rushed back from Nanchang Mansion yesterday."

"You go and sue Deputy Envoy Huang and ask him to find out what He Tongju and Hong Tuiguan said to Chairman Zhang." Xu Liang instructed, and pointed to Ah Feng again: "Also, those painting boats on the Jianchang River, you send someone up to investigate." ”

After arranging this qiē, Xu Liang dressed up and prepared to go to Jianchang County, sat in the sedan chair and walked for a while, suddenly felt that something was wrong, opened the sedan curtain and looked, it turned out that Dai Yingying, the captain of the female guard, was not in front of the sedan chair. Normally, this little girl would take the lead in holding her newly cast Pu knife, but now it was two young guards who led the way, and couldn't help asking, "Why, didn't Captain Dai come?" ”

A guard stepped forward and replied: "My lord, Captain Dai asked someone to present a letter to your lord yesterday evening, she said that the month period has passed, ahem, your lord is still fine, and she will not come in the future." ”

Xu Liang was stunned for a moment, and vaguely remembered that there was indeed a letter left on the desk yesterday, but at that time, he had been uneasy to guess the intentions of He and Hong, so he didn't open it to read. Thinking of the lack of a skilled female guard around him in the future, Xu Liang felt regretful.

At this time, two people came out of a street alley.

"Go, you dead fortune teller, you dare to frame Lao Tzu, so that Lao Tzu is now penniless, I didn't say anything, go with Lao Tzu to see the official." I saw a middle-aged man in a short shirt and breeches, pulling a fortune teller wearing a square scarf, coming out of the alley, the fortune teller's thin figure was pulled to the ground, and a flag with an immortal guiding the way in his right hand almost took off his hand.

The fortune teller struggled and shouted: "Oh, you let go, let go quickly, when you see the official, you will see the official, what does it look like to pull and pull!" ”

"Hey, you old ghost know that it's not like that, don't you know? Damn, why didn't you expect to be here today when you hurt Lao Tzu? The man shouted, and as he rolled up his cuffs, he was about to beat the fortune teller.

Xu Liang listened to the fortune teller's voice like an acquaintance, and couldn't help but smile when he looked closely, it turned out to be the feng shui gentleman who followed Xu Liang to the cloud mountain to see the location of the feng shui ancestral hall, Mr. Qin.

Thinking that it was an acquaintance, Xu Liang motioned for the guards to bring people over.

At this time, the two people who were pulling also saw the blue official sedan chair parked on the side of the street, the pro-soldiers and guards who hugged each other, and they were also big officials watching the pomp. Seeing two guards with knives coming over, the man couldn't help but feel timid, and the two honestly came to Xu Liang.

Xu Liang smiled first: "Isn't this Mr. Qin?" Mr. Qin not only knows how to read feng shui, but also understands physiognomy, which is really disrespectful and disrespectful. ”

The two recognized that it was Xu Liang, the chief bookkeeper of Jianchang, and they let go of their hands in a panic, and both saluted: "The grass people have seen Lord Xu." ”

Mr. Qin smiled awkwardly, "Let the adults laugh, feng shui physiognomy, the little ones know a little bit about it, and they have the right to eat with a mouth." ”

Xu Liang asked the man with a smile again, "You have arrived at the whole street where you are scolding Mr. Qin, what's going on?" ”

The man rubbed his hands, glared at Mr. Qin hatefully, and replied: "My lord doesn't know, this half-hung fortune teller actually asserted that the grass people were worried about their lives half a month ago, and the grass people listened to his nonsense, and these days they didn't dare to go anywhere in fear, and the days passed and the grass people didn't even scratch a finger, and today I happened to see this old guy and reasoned with him, and wanted to get back the fortune-telling money of one or two silver, and the result was ...... This old guy refuses! The grass man had no choice but to drag him to the official. ”

Xu Liang was surprised and turned to Mr. Qin: "Mr. hasn't seen him for a few days, and he is so poor?" "You must know that after the incident on Yunshan was completed that day, Xu Liang personally asked the two Feng Shui gentlemen to pay a thousand taels of silver, this Mr. Qin spent too much money, right?

Mr. Qin blushed, extremely embarrassed, and said to the man: "How many times have I told you, this immortal is not not a non-refund, but the business has just opened today, and he can't make up the money to give you!" ”

"I don't care, now that Lord Xu is here, you have to give me an explanation!" The man does not give up.

Xu Liang chuckled, took out a tael of silver and threw it to the man, and said, "The official and Mr. Qin are old acquaintances, and the fortune-telling money of the one or two silver was returned by the official for him." ”

When one or two white flowers of cash arrived, the man's face turned into a flower with a smile, and he left with a thousand thanks to Xu Liang.

Mr. Qin blushed and thanked Liang again: "This time, Lord Lao Xu has relieved the siege, Qin is grateful, cough cough, the old man doesn't have much money on him today, and he will return the adult's silver in the future." ”

Xu Liang waved his hand and said the question in his heart: "Mr. Qin's use of money is too powerful, in less than half a month, has the 1,000 taels of silver given by the official been spent?" ”

Mr. Qin waved his hand again and again, and said embarrassedly: "That's not true, cough, the old man is a person who is used to living a poor life, and this silver will never be too much." ”

Xu Liang laughed, and suddenly thought of the sign he asked for in the Zhenru Temple, so he said: "Since Mr. Qin also knows physiognomy, I don't know how much Mr. Qin knows about the way to unsign." ”

Mr. Qin flicked his robe, straightened the banner of the immortal pointing the way, pointed to it, and saw that it was the four words "immortal guiding the way", smiled awkwardly, turned it over again, pointed to the four words "wonderful hand unsigning" on it, and said proudly: "This immortal...... Oh, the old man also knows a little bit about it. ”

Xu Liang didn't expect Mr. Qin's business to be so extensive, a flag on the front is a fortune teller, and on the opposite side is a trick hand for unsigning, he couldn't help but be impressed, and smiled at the moment: "That's the case, a friend of the official once asked for a signature, but the person who unsigned it at that time was not very clear, today you might as well ask Mr. to solve it again, and the one or two silver will be the right to be Mr.'s remuneration." ”

"Well, that's great." Mr. Qin was overjoyed, thinking that he would not have to return Xu Liang's one or two pieces of silver in the future, and his face was full of smiles.

At that moment, Xu Liang said to Mr. Qin that the ninety-eight signatures that were really obtained in the temple were "want to reason with the new silk chaos, and the sorrow is clear, just because of the net, seeing each other and being sad with people".

Mr. Qin was stunned, pondered for a while, and then asked, "I don't know how about the birthday of my adult's friend?" ”

Xu Liang said his date of birth again.

Mr. Qin frowned and pondered for a long time before he said slowly to Xu Liang, who was nervous: "Don't hide it from your lord, judging from the birthday of your friend's friend and the artistic conception of this sign, I am afraid that the person who asks for the sign will ......."

"How?" Xu Liang asked nervously.

"Life is bumpy, depressed!" Mr. Qin twisted his fingers and continued: "This person's life is gold, if he is in the court, he is a martial artist, if he is in the people, he is mostly a dog slaughterer, in short, he has been killing and troublesome all his life." Even if you don't cause trouble, you will hit the door. And ......"

"How?" Xu Liang exclaimed.

Mr. Qin's face was strange, and he hesitated: "Most of the adults have misremembered this person's birthday, look at each other according to their fate, and the person who asks for the signature will not live long, so it can be said that he died young, and he should have died a year ago." ”

Xu Liang was stunned!

"Your Excellency?" When Mr. Qin saw Xu Liang's expression, he vaguely guessed that most of the friends in Xu Liang's mouth were Xu Liang himself, so he was even more surprised, looked at Xu Liang's face, and said it silently in his mouth, and his face became even more confused.

Xu Liang came to his senses, thanked Mr. Qin, and instructed the sedan chair driver to get up and go to the county office.

Mr. Qin stood in place, looking at the blue-topped sedan chair in the distance for a long time, shook his head, and turned to leave.

The official sedan chair stopped steadily in front of the yamen of Jianchang County, Xu Liang got off the sedan chair, and saw the rising sun in the east, the red glow was full of sky, and the morning sun was as red as blood, and there was no ordinary golden light.

Thinking of Mr. Qin's words of unsigning, "Life is bumpy, and the killing continues," Xu Liang walked depressedly in the direction of the signing room of the county master's book. Suddenly, I heard a voice in front of me say, "Lord Xu came so early today." ”

Xu Liang looked up and saw the old-fashioned Nankang Mansion Hong Tuiguan standing under the verandah, his hands clasped between his long sleeves, greeting him with a smile.

"Oh, Lord Hong is early." Xu Liangqiang said with a smile. After saying hello, Xu Liang was about to walk over.

"Lord Xu stays." Hong Tuiguan said again.

"What else does Lord Hong command?" Xu Liang was stunned.

"Heh," Hong Tuiguan smiled and waved his hand, and said, "I don't dare to take orders, but Lord He and this official may have to stay in Jianchang for two days, and I will disturb Lord Xu and all Jianchang officials, and I ask Lord Xu to forgive me." ”

"Oh, it doesn't matter." Xu Liang said suddenly: "Although Jianchang County is small, there are some scenery, so the two adults might as well stay for a few more days." ”

"That's exactly what it means," Hong Tuiguan smiled very happily, "Lord Xu can understand, that's really good." ”

After laughing, the two walked sideways, almost at the same time, without the slightest smile on their faces.

Hong Tuiguan entered the second hall and said in a cold voice: "My lord, the lower official has been delayed for two more days. ”

He Tongju was sitting behind the desk, holding a file in his hand and looking at it carefully, and nodded when he heard the words: "Two days is enough." ”
