Xu Liang briefly recounted the cause and effect of the poison he contracted with lovesickness to everyone in the house. The two ladies of the Xu Mansion immediately scolded each other and cursed her for not dying well.

After hearing clearly about the toxicity of lovesickness, if Xu Liang couldn't get rid of the poison, he would definitely die of poison within a year, everyone couldn't care about cursing anymore, and was anxious to find an antidote for Xu Liang.

The two ladies of the Xu Mansion carefully instructed Xu Liang to rest, and on the other hand, they ordered people to invite famous doctors from all over the world. Notify the shopkeepers of the branches of Tongtianxia Logistics, as well as the shopkeepers of Xufu's stores in various places, and reward the strange people who can solve the poison of lovesickness at a high price.

Within a few days, the first batch of doctors were brought to Xu Liang by the people of Xu's mansion, and they took turns to look at and ask about it, but they all frowned, and two elderly doctors with white hair even asserted conclusively that Lord Xu was suffering from a cold and was not poisoned.

For five or six days in a row, Xu Liang was tossed by famous doctors from all over the world like a rare animal, and the movement was very large, but the result was very unsatisfactory.

Xu Liang became more and more disappointed with these so-called famous doctors of the Ming Dynasty.

One day, the chief housekeeper of the Xu Mansion saw that Xu Liang's face was a little better, so he came over to ask for instructions, please let the housekeepers, family members and maids who were implicated be released.

After interrogation and investigation, it was later proved that these people had little to do with it, and three of them had lived in Pingliang Mansion for generations. The family background is innocent, and he is willing to give kindness, and he can never be a person in the fragrance sect.

Xu Liang was gloomy. Although he sent an official document to catch the sea, it was as if he had suddenly disappeared from the world, and there was no news. Xu Liang is not the kind of person who is innocent of crimes, so he agreed to release him.

Seeing this, Tietou happily responded, and as if he remembered something, he said to Xu Liang funny: "Young master." There is one thing Ah Tie has never found a chance to tell you, Old Man Dai heard that the young master was poisoned by the acacia in his hand, and after returning home, he ordered someone to rely on Cui Shuangshu. Zhen'er and Zhu'er's two delicate personal rings were tied up and interrogated strictly, and I heard that the two girls were tortured to the point that they had half a breath left. ”

Xu Liang asked in surprise, "Why is this Dai Feng?" ”

Tietou pouted and said: "It's not because the young lady arrived in Pingliang City, and the first people to see were Zhen'er and Zhu'er in Dai's mansion." Reportedly. is still the righteous sister of the two sisters, and the relationship between the three is not shallow. ”

Xu Liang suddenly realized that Zhen'er and Zhu'er were both from Yicuilou in Guyuan Prefecture, and the relationship between the three of them was not ordinary, but if Zhen'er and Zhu'er would have anything to do with Xu Liang's poisoning, it might not be. Xu Liang thought about Zhen'er and Zhu'er, two fourteen or fifteen-year-old girls, who were locked up in a dark and damp little dark room, and tortured and beaten by the soldiers under Dai Feng. It's a tragic sight.

After thinking about it, Xu Liang said lightly: "Let Tsing Yiwei help check the bottom of Zhen'er and Zhu'er." If you don't find any problems, you can hand over a message to Old Man Dai, don't embarrass the two little sisters. ”

"Ah, yes." The iron head should be down.

At this time, a maid came to report: "Master, three more doctors have arrived in the living room, and the eldest lady asks you to go over for medical treatment." ”

Xu Liang stroked his forehead with his hand, and sighed helplessly: "Where did the quack doctor come from this time?" If this continues, even if I don't die of poison, master, I will make up for these quacks to toss to death......"

Yahuan listened, wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, endured it very hard, blessed it with a gift, and said: "I heard that it is a famous doctor specially invited from Huguang by Ge Qiao, the shopkeeper of the logistics of the world. ”

Xu Liang sighed again, his shoulders collapsed, and he went to the living room dejectedly.

After three hours of diagnosis, the so-called famous doctor from Huguang was still helpless.

Sending the three famous doctors away in disappointment, Feng Suqin and Lou Xian'er were worried, and murmured to Xu Liang: "Xianggong, this lovesick poison is really good, we have invited hundreds of doctors to see it, but none of them can come up with a way to get rid of it...... Alas, what if the poison of Xianggong can't be cured? ”

Although Xu Liang was also very worried in his heart, in front of the two beloved women, Xu Liang could only hold on, looked at the two ladies gently, and said with a forced smile: "The fortune teller once counted for me, saying that your husband and my life are very hard, God is afraid, and ghosts are sad, so I won't hang up so easily." Don't worry, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, there is still a year, don't worry, let's slowly find a way, we can finally find a way to detoxify. ”

Feng Xuanqin and Lou Xian'er listened, nodded bitterly, and both gave Xu Liang a very reluctant smile.

Xu Liang took the opportunity to say with a bitter face: "Two ladies, I think most of these quacks can't cure the poison on my body, so these doctors don't have to bring them home in the future, right?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Feng Suqin and Lou Xian'er shouted in unison: "No! Xianggong, even if there is only one in 10,000 hope, we can't give up, we have to give it a try. ”

“……”

Xu Liang sighed, and had to pinch his nose and continue to endure one quack doctor after another doing his hands and feet on himself, in the beautiful name: Look, hear, ask, cut!

Quack! All fucking quacks!

Time entered May of the second year of Chongzhen, Gao Zilin was arrested, and the matter of Gao Yingxiang and others was regarded by Xu Liang as a top priority, and it was related to his own net worth and life, so Xu Liang could not pay attention to it. And yet still nothing.

The poison of Acacia Liang on Xu Liang's body was conditioned by the recuperation prescriptions prescribed by several more reliable doctors, although he was still sleepy and dozing, the blood released from his body was still terrifying, and in addition to these symptoms, there was no sign of aggravation.

The well salt business jointly operated by the Xufu and Jingzhou Liang families has opened up sales channels, and the well salt is sold to the northwest prefectures and counties.

The dams built in Huating, Chongxin, Jingzhou, Zhenyuan, and Pingliang, presided over by Xu Liang, lasted for a month, and have been completed one after another, and the sluice gates have begun to store water in preparation for irrigating farmland. This work. It was completely implemented by the power of the Pingliang Prefecture, and it was not supported by the Ministry of Industry from the beginning to the end.

This is something that is hard to imagine, without the support of the silver of the court. Relying only on the local government to do such a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, Xu Liang's prestige was invaluable in Pingliang Mansion for a while. When the dam was completed, Shaanxi Governor Hong Chengchou specially rushed to Pingliang and praised Xu Liang in front of thousands of people around the Pingliang Dam.

Hong Chengchou's move, although Xu Liang showed his face very much, Xu Liang didn't care. He felt that Hong Chengchou would do his best to engage in this kind of reward that did not cost money, and he wanted to make Xu Liang grateful.

Yes. Xu Liang, the prefect of Pingliang, who had received Governor Hong's verbal reward, did not have a happy expression, and looked at Governor Hong with a faint eye, as if he had seen through Governor Hong's wishful thinking at a glance.

Until, Governor Hong took out his handwritten memo for Xu Liang and put it in front of Xu Liang. Xu Liang's face gradually warmed.

The result of the war against bandits in Hanzhong Prefecture was due to the defeat of Gao Zilin, the most important leader of the people's army. Gao Yingxiang and others, there is nothing that can be done in terms of performance. Several leading generals near Xixiang County, Hanzhong Prefecture, who had stayed, were also recalled to Guyuan Prefecture by Yang He, the governor of the three sides.

Xu Liang received the notice and rushed to the Yamen, the governor of Guyuan Prefecture, to hold a meeting. In fact, the agenda of the meeting was only one, to profoundly examine the reasons for the failure of the Hanzhong Prefecture to suppress bandits, and to investigate the responsibility of certain people by the way.

According to Yang He, the governor of the three sides, Governor Yang had reservations about the war against bandits in Hanzhong Prefecture. If the war went smoothly, he took down Gao Zilin, the leader of the people's army. Gao Yingxiang and others let Governor Yang be in the court. There was a happy explanation in front of Emperor Chongzhen, and Governor Yang opened his eyes and closed his eyes to admit this matter.

However, now that the war is like this grandmother, although the heads of ordinary civilian soldiers have brought back a lot, the most important Gao Zilin, Gao Yingxiang and others have not caught any of them. If it has not been caught, it can also be said that the official army is not fully prepared, and Gao Zilin and others are cunning, but the actual situation is: Gao Zilin, Gao Yingxiang, Wang Zuogui and other leaders of the people's army have been tied up by five flowers, and they are still fleeing in the camp of tens of thousands of officers and soldiers!

This is unforgivable!

Governor Yang pounded the table at the meeting, stared at him, beat his chest, and looked angry.

Out of such a big basket, it is some people's dereliction of duty! Some people are responsible!

Some of the people mentioned by Governor Yang actually meant He Huchen, the chief soldier of Yansui. Because people were lost in the hands of General He. Although Governor Yang's original intention was to involve Xu Liang, the prefect of Pingliang, because this war, in the final analysis, Xu Liang insisted on it. However, Xu Zhifu has been in the limelight recently, and has built dams in Huating, Jingzhou, Pingliang and other five counties, and Hong Chengchou, the governor of Shaanxi, has also specially asked for Xu Liang's performance!

It seems that Xu Zhifu is in the rising period of his career recently, and there is a governor of Shaanxi above to protect him, so it is better not to provoke him for the time being.

All these reasons led Governor Yang to decide to investigate the responsibility of only one person, He Huchen, the chief soldier of Yansui.

Governor Yang announced on the spot that after dismissing General He from his post, he unexpectedly took out the letter of appointment issued by the Ministry of War, promoting Wan Wenshan, the general of the Liang Army, to the Guyuan guerrilla general, Luo Rucai, the vanguard officer of the Liang Army, to the Pingliang guerrilla general, and the Qingyang garrison He Renlong, to the Qingyang guerrilla general......

Xu Liang noticed that when He Huchen, the chief soldier of Yansui, left the lobby of the Governor's Palace, he looked depressed and sad, looked at Xu Liang several times, and stopped talking, and finally let out a long sigh and left lonely. After that, if no one deliberately interceded for He Huchen, He Zongbing estimated that he would have to be dismissed indefinitely.

Xu Liang understood the meaning of Mr. He's eyes, and he just wanted to beg Xu Liang to intercede for himself.

In fact, before Xu Liang held the meeting, he learned from the mouth of Hong Chengchou, the governor of Shaanxi, that Yang He was going to clean up He Huchen. However, in the battle of encircling and suppressing Gao Zilin in the suburbs of Xixiang County, Hanzhong Prefecture, General He ignored his own instructions, and actually left the lives of Gao Zilin, Gao Yingxiang, Wang Zuogui, and Li Zicheng privately, and thought about taking them to the capital to receive the reward!

This disgusting practice, although Xu Liang learned in advance about the lovesickness in his body and the poison, but the final result was to let Gao Zilin and the others escape again, and they didn't know how much effort it would take to catch Gao Zilin again in the future!

Due to He Huchen's self-assertion, Xu Liang launched a battle of encirclement and suppression of nearly 40,000 officers and troops, which can be said to have failed in the end. Xu Liang couldn't tolerate He Huchen's mistakes, so he watched coldly during the whole process of Governor Yang cleaning up He Huchen.

Out of the gate of the Governor's Palace, Xu Liang was about to board the carriage and return to Pingliang City, when Wang Pu, the chief soldier of the Beijing camp, appeared in front of Xu Liang with a humble smile.

"Hey, Lord Xu!" Mr. Wang smiled, arched his hand, and whispered with eyebrows: "The three things that Lord Xu wants the last general to do, the last general can do it properly. I don't know when Lord Xu will return Zhang Lang and the others to me? ”

Xu Liang looked up to the sky and said haha, Wanwenshan, and Luo Rucai were able to successfully promote to guerrilla generals in one fell swoop, which made Xu Liang take a high look at Wang Zongbing's ability and connections in the court.

"Ahaha, General Wang said with a smile," Xu Liang laughed: "How can the people under General Wang be in the hands of this official?" ”

"Lord Xu...... You? Mr. Wang's face changed, and he couldn't help but be shocked and angry.

Xu Liang hurriedly said, "General Wang, don't be bored. The officer was also very worried when he heard that Zhang Lang, a personal soldier under General Wang, had not returned to the camp for several days, but I thought that Zhang Lang and the four of them were young and vigorous, and their blood was strong, so they might be alive in some kiln and were reluctant to come back...... General Wang might as well take someone to Yicui Tower the day after tomorrow to have a look, maybe he can find Zhang Lang and the four of them there? ”

"Huh? Yes? Wang Pu is not a stupid person after all, he quickly understood what Xu Liang meant, and followed the fight haha.

Xu Liang smiled politely, watched General Wang's words turn around, and kindly suggested: "General Wang also heard it, and the governor went to the court to promote two new guerrilla generals, which has strengthened the defense force of Shaanxi Province a lot. Counting the days, Mr. Wang has been away from Beijing for almost two months, right? Next, Governor Yang's strategy for dealing with the people's armies in various places should be Huairou Zhao'an, and there must be very few cases where troops are really needed. And those small-scale wars, the local soldiers in Shaanxi can handle it, and they need to work on General Wang in a hurry...... Well, if General Wang is homesick, now is a good time to turn back to Beijing. ”

"Huh?" Wang Zongbing couldn't help but be stunned, and watched Xu Liang Shi Shi Ran get into the carriage, and the carriage Shi Shi ran drove up the streets of Guyuan Prefecture. After being stunned for a long time, Mr. Wang's expression moved, and he thought a little.

Three days later, a lieutenant under Wang Zongbing entered Yicui Building with more than a dozen people in the name of looking for flowers and asking willows, and sure enough, Zhang Lang and four people were found in the girl's room in Yicui Building, but the four of them had sallow faces, sore hands and feet, and all looked overindulgent. The lieutenant didn't dare to say anything, and took the four back to the barracks.

Two days later, Xu Liang got the news that Wang Pu, the chief soldier of the Beijing camp who had been fine a few days ago, suddenly got a strange illness and had a splitting headache, and he couldn't even see anything wrong with a few doctors. Wang Zongbing was unwell and handed a fold to the court overnight, asking to return to the capital to recuperate. (To be continued......)
