Several truckloads full of goods were transported into the governor's yamen, and Xu Liang handed them over to Luo Baiguan of the Taxation Department for realization. Of course, Tietou, Duan Zhigang, and the Tsing Yi guards who participated in the meeting with the Heavenly Dragon each received a lot of rewards. Xu Liang's consistent principle of life is that I eat meat, and the big guy drinks soup with him.

One morning, before the sun rose, Xu Liang held the Cold Moon Knife in the backyard of the governor's yamen and played a knife trick. Luo Baiguan from the Taxation Department rushed over early, and after Xu Liang stopped, he stepped forward, looked at Xu Liang with a difficult face, and arched his hand: "My lord, it is a little tricky to realize the silver of those things. ”

"How?" Xu Liang asked in surprise: "I look at the things sent by the Heavenly Dragon, whether it is antique jade or gold hairpin jewelry, I see that the workmanship is very exquisite." Is there still no one who wants such a good thing? ”

When Luo Baiguan heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, with a strange look on his face: "My lord is right. At first, the subordinates also thought that these things were treasures. However, after dealing with it, his subordinates couldn't wait to arrest the Heavenly Dragon again and beat him severely. My lord, Gao Yingxiang, this bastard is too inauthentic. ”

"What's going on? Could it be that all these things are fake? ”

Luo Baiguan shook his head and said, "Everything is true." It's just that these gold and silver jewelry, antique jade and jade are obviously carefully selected by the Heavenly Dragon. These things were originally extremely valuable, but most of them had a fatal problem! Saying that, Luo Baiguan had an angry expression on his face, gritted his teeth and scolded: "I don't know where Gao Yingxiang grabbed these things, the antique jade, jewelry or something on it, obviously belonged to a large family before the change of ownership, and they all had the mark of the owner on them." Luo Baiguan said, sighed lightly, and said: "Alas, at first, several pawn shops didn't pay attention to these details when they received the objects, and they didn't find out about this problem until they made a move. Adults also know that since there is a mark on the object, it means that it is second-hand goods, or even the things of a dead person, and it is an ominous thing. After these pawnshops found out about this problem, they successively recorded returns. ”

As soon as Xu Liang heard it, he understood, to put it bluntly, even if these objects were exquisite, if they were used by others or even picked up from dead people, then who would dare to buy them?

Xu Liang frowned and asked, "Is there a large proportion of these things with imprints?" ”

Luo Baiguan said distressedly: "At least seventy percent." ”

Xu Liang walked a few steps and asked, "Is there any other place to go besides handing it over to the pawn shop?" ”

Luo Baiguan thought for a while and said, "If the pawnshop doesn't accept it, then it can only be sold in various stores in our Liang Ji." It's hard to say when you'll be able to dispose of it. ”

When Xu Liang heard this, he shouted angrily: "It's really not good, just take it all to me and re-smelt." ”

Luo Baiguan smiled bitterly: "My lord, in this way, the value of these things will depreciate several times." This can only be the way to go. ”

Of course, Xu Liang is just talking, pure gas words, if he returns to the furnace to smelt, the gold and silver that comes out will be pure gold and silver, and there is no added value at all.

Xu Liang couldn't help but secretly hate, he had received a few carts of things from Shangtianlong, and he looked full of them and was full of brilliance, where would he have thought that Shangtianlong would make a fuss about things and secretly put himself along.

waved his hand to let Luo Baiguan retreat, Xu Liang's whole person was in a bad mood, in the past two years, Xu Liang has developed smoothly in Shaanxi, and he has not experienced the taste of being calculated for a long time.

However, now that Shangtianlong has left Chang'an, even if he wants to settle accounts with him, he will have to meet him next time. However, Xu Liang originally thought that the things sent by the Heavenly Dragon were just some minor problems that were difficult to deal with, and over time, they would eventually be able to deal with them. Until the beginning of October of the fifth year of Chongzhen, a letter from the imperial history of the capital of Beijing Zodiac suddenly made Xu Liang angry.

Huang Daozhou told Xu Liang that a few days ago, Shanxi suddenly went to the court in the middle of the incident to impeach Xu Liang, the governor of Shaanxi, for accepting several cars of valuables secretly from Gao Yingxiang, the leader of the People's Army.

On this basis, the governor of Shaanxi, Xu Liang, was impeached for secretly colluding with the Shanxi People's Army and having a heart of disobedience.

At the same time, immediately after the play in the matter, it was suddenly reported in the Beijing division that Xu Liang, the governor of Shaanxi, wanted to echo with the leader of the people's army, Ma, known as the king of Chuang, Gao Yingxiang captured Shanxi, Xu Liang rebelled in Shaanxi, and the two joined forces together, sent the Beijing division, and broke through the city of Beijing in one fell swoop.

The news spread in the streets and alleys of Beijing for a while, and even the little children in the vegetable market made up a song about it and sang it while playing.

Along with the folk rumors, the imperial history in the court, in the middle of the matter, began to use their imagination, contending for the fear of handing over the excerpts to the General Administration, demanding strict investigation, asking the court to send troops to take precautions, demanding that Xu Liang's official position be removed in one fell swoop, and even more, actually asked for the immediate detention of Feng Suqin, the eldest lady of the Xu Mansion who was still studying in the palace, in order to blackmail Xu Liang!

The government and the opposition were in a lot of trouble, and the cabinet finally couldn't hold its breath, and in the name of Zhou Yanru, the first assistant to the cabinet, issued an edict to the yamen of the governor of Shaanxi, asking Xu Liang to be cautious in his words and deeds.

Syllable! Xu Liang rarely dropped a good teacup in front of Luo Baiguan, Wang Qinian, Tie Tou, Duan Zhigang, He Qi and other subordinates.

"I've been playing eagles all my life, and I'm still blinding the eagles today!" Xu Liang shouted angrily: "This official really didn't see that among the people's army, there are actually such bright minds!" ”

Duan Zhigang said: "My lord, although there is no clear evidence to prove that these news were deliberately spread from Gao Yingxiang, no matter what aspect you look at, Gao Yingxiang's suspicion is the greatest. ”

Wang Qinian calmly analyzed: "First of all, I deliberately gave my lord a batch of valuable objects, and then I publicized it in Shanxi and Beijing, creating a false impression to the court that we are indeed colluding with Gao Yingxiang, thus arousing the suspicion of the court, as long as the court has suspicions, you can separate the relationship between the lord and the court." It's best to be able to force us to rebel, even if you can't, you can make the court and our Shaanxi not have one heart! After Wang Qinian finished speaking, he sighed: "If this plan was conceived by the leader of the people's army himself, it would be really vicious." I can't imagine that there are such scheming people in the people's army! ”

Tietou clenched his fists, and shouted angrily: "Young Master, Gao Yingxiang is so calculating us, how can you bear this breath!" We have 100,000 troops in Shaanxi, and if we don't teach Gao Yingxiang a lesson, he really thinks we are easy to mess with! As long as you give the order, young master, I will order all the soldiers and horses, enter Shanxi, and take Gao Yingxiang's head back! ”

Several subordinates of the descendants all looked at Xu Liang, waiting for Xu Liang's final decision.

Xu Liang lowered his eyelids and pondered for a while, then suddenly chuckled, and then looked at everyone, Xu Liang shook his head and said: "This official is a human, and he accidentally let the dog bite him, so he can't bite it back, right?" Gao Yingxiang's purpose in doing this is to separate the official from the court! How can such a carving insect trick make him get his wish?! ”

Wang Qinian asked suspiciously, "That'...... What do you mean? ”

Xu Liang sat back on the chair of the Tiger Skin Master and said quietly: "The more fierce they are, the more calm we should be!" Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and his face did not change! Wang Qinian, you go to the Dao excerpt, and hurry up and send it to Jingshi. ”

Wang Qinian looked at Xu Liang suspiciously, and asked, "My lord, how do you go back to the law?" ”

Xu Liang thought for a while, and said quietly: "Just four words: there is no such thing!" For the rest of the word, don't write a word more. ”

Wang Qinian looked at Xu Liang with wide eyes and asked, "Is there such a thing?" ”

"Never!"

Wang Qinian nodded, and then said worriedly: "I'm afraid that the court will send someone to Chang'an to investigate on the spot, after all, the Heavenly Dragon entered Chang'an, and many people saw it, both openly and secretly." ”

Xu Liang sneered disdainfully: "Who will check?" Those nerds in the Metropolitan Procuratorate? Or Jinyiwei or Dongzhishi Factory? They are not afraid of dying in Shaanxi, so they can just come to investigate. ”

When Xu Liang said this, everyone laughed. The big guy couldn't help but think of Yu Huatian, the former factory governor of the East Detective Factory, who was delusional to collude with the trilateral governor Hong Chengchou to frame Xu Liang, and then died in Shaanxi for no apparent reason.

It is precisely with this lesson that after the successor of the Dongchang factory supervisor took office, he didn't even dare to fart the cause of his predecessor's death. As for sending someone to investigate the cause of Yu Huatian's death, he didn't even mention it.

There is no such thing, this is Xu Liang's reply to the court. After the memo drafted by Shaanxi Senator Wang Qinian was sent to the Beijing Division, as soon as he arrived at the General Political Division, he was sent to the cabinet overnight, and the cabinet on duty was the second assistant Xu Guangqi, Xu Guangqi received the response of the Shaanxi governor Yamen, and he did not dare to put it off, knocked on the door of the inner palace late at night, and asked the eunuch to report to Emperor Chongzhen.

The emperor saw that in the middle of the night, he had fallen asleep, and was awakened by the trembling voice of the eunuch, and he couldn't help but be very displeased, and was about to get angry.

In the Heart Cultivation Palace, Xu Guangqi, the second assistant of the cabinet, was already waiting there. After greeting Emperor Chongzhen, Xu Guangqi respectfully presented the fold to Emperor Chongzhen.

The emperor sighed, not knowing whether to relax or be nervous, took the fold that had not yet been opened, and asked while dismantling: "Xu Aiqing, what did Xu Liang write in the fold?" ”

Xu Guangqi bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, when the old minister received Xu Liang's recital, he hurriedly entered the palace to face the saint, and he didn't have time to open it to see." cough, the old minister knows that His Majesty is worried about the situation in Shaanxi, and His Majesty should be the first to check such an important setback. ”

The two sentences made Emperor Chongzhen feel comfortable. He nodded in satisfaction, took it apart, and took it out to look at it.

Xu Guangqi was also very curious about what Xu Liang had written in the recital, so he paid careful attention to Emperor Chongzhen's expression, but Emperor Chongzhen's face was strange, faintly disappointed and angry.

Xu Ge didn't know why, and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, what did Xu Liang say?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen raised his eyes and looked at Xu Ge Lao, then looked at the fold in his hand, and angrily threw the fold to Xu Ge Lao, and shouted: "Ge Lao look at it himself." ”

Xu Ge Lao sighed in his heart, and secretly said that Xu Liang, a bastard boy, wrote something rebellious and unruly, which actually made the emperor so unhappy? Bending down to pick up the folds scattered on the ground, Xu Ge Lao unfolded it and looked at it, and was immediately stunned. I looked at the front, then turned over to look at the back.

It's a pity that apart from those four words, there is not even a single black spot left in the ink, it is clean.

The emperor was already sulking, and for Xu Liang, Emperor Chongzhen was angry and helpless. Staring at Xu Guangqi, Chongzhen asked in a deep voice: "Pavilion Elder, what does Xu Liang mean?!" Give me a reward, just four words? Wasn't his governor's yamen rich? Why can't you even prepare the ink to write a full letter? ”

The emperor slammed the table and scolded angrily: "Is there still me in his eyes?!" ”

Xu Ge Lao lowered his brows and said secretly, if this kid Xu Liang is afraid of you and gives him ten dares, he won't dare to blatantly look at the rebellious people's army! However, these words categorically could not be said in front of Emperor Chongzhen. Besides, the situation of the court, Xu Ge, as a cabinet minister, knows better than anyone that when this kind of internal and external troubles occur, the unruly Xu Liang can only be appeased, not persecuted, otherwise, if he is careless, he will force Shaanxi back, and the court will have a lot of fun.

Xu Ge Lao could hear that the emperor was angry, but at this time, although Xu Ge Lao was also very angry with Xu Liang, he could only try his best to play a round for Xu Liang. So after staring at the lonely four words on the fold for a long time, Xu Ge's eyes rolled, and he suddenly shouted happily: "Your Majesty, the old minister understands!" ”

Xu Ge Lao's joy made Emperor Chongzhen stunned, and glared at Xu Ge Lao: "What did Ge Lao see?" ”

Xu Ge Lao played the fold and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, there are no four words about this matter, it is the promise of Xu Liang, the governor of Shaanxi, to the emperor and the court!" Look at Liao Liao's four words, how loud, how meaningful, and how heartfelt! ”

The emperor looked at Xu Ge Lao shaking his head there, his eyes couldn't help but widen, he looked straight at Xu Ge Lao, and asked with deep suspicion: "Didn't Ge Lao Mo mean to be wrong?" How uncomfortable I look at these four words! ”

"Ahem, cough, cough ......" Xu Ge was choked and coughed repeatedly, stroked his chest, and hurriedly excused Xu Liang: "Your Majesty, you also know that Xu Liang is from a good background, and he has read little books, and he has always been frizzy in his work. The old minister saw that there was no such thing, and the four characters were written crookedly, as ugly as a dog's stomach, and it must have been written by Xu Liang. Xu Ge Lao couldn't help but feel hot when he said it, swallowed his saliva, and said with difficulty: "Although this word is ugly, there is no lack of frankness and honesty!" It can be seen from this that Xu Liang still respects the court and the emperor from the bottom of his heart. ”

Chongzhen's eyes couldn't help but widen.

Seeing this, Xu Guangqi explained embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, do you think, if Xu Liang is self-respecting and doesn't take the court and the emperor in his eyes at all, then is it possible for him to write the recital himself?" This...... It's impossible! (To be continued.) )
