The iron head said viciously: "Young master, you must not let go of this Shi Junsheng this time." He gestured eagerly and said, "I'll arrange to kill this grandson." ”

Xu Liang nodded and instructed: "Arrange for Tsing Yi Wei to do it, be neat with your hands and feet, and don't leave trouble." ”

Tie Tou said: "Although the young master can rest assured, the guards in the Tsing Yi Guard Garrison are all skilled heroes, and they are familiar with this kind of thing." ”

Tietou took the task and confidently assigned his manpower.

At this time, Feng Suqin, the eldest lady of Xufu, and Huan Chun'er, the eldest girl, came back to the house from outside, entered the house, sat at the small round table by themselves, filled a cup of warm tea, and drank it without saying a word.

Xu Liang looked at Feng Suqin's face, his mouth pursed slightly, his lips pursed slightly, and his face was unhappy.

"Yo, what's going on?" Xu Liang asked with a smile.

Feng Suqin glanced at Xu Liang lightly and did not speak.

Xu Liang felt embarrassed, thinking about his recent actions for a while, as if there was no place to offend the eldest lady of the Xu Mansion. Xu Liang is like a monk who is the second in his arms, and he is confused.

Where did Feng Suqin suffer from idleness?

Xu Liang sat next to Feng Suqin, sat down at the round table, refilled the warm tea for Feng Suqin, and asked with a smile: "Lady, what's wrong?" ”

Feng Suqin said crisply angrily: "Nothing happened!" I'm just angry! ”

Xu Liang slapped the table, and angrily shouted at the big girl Huan Chun'er on the side and asked, "Chun'er, you say!" What's the matter, ma'am? Who dares to put on a face for our Mrs. Xu's Mansion! ”

Chun'er looked at Feng Suqin's face and said hesitantly, "Master, Madam has just returned from the Pingliang Chamber of Commerce. The colleagues in the guild hall gossiped a little. ”

Xu Liangden was furious and slammed the small round table in front of him. scolded: "These old coffin scoops, the older they get, the more confused they become." My lady is the president of the Chamber of Commerce, and they dare to gossip about Suqin? It's really disrespectful to the old, and it's getting more and more unruly! Scolding, Xu Liang went to persuade Feng Suqin again, "I said lady, then since the Chamber of Commerce for the Fish is so difficult to wait, I don't think you should be the president of the Chamber of Commerce, our Xu family has made a lot of money." ”

Feng Suqin glanced at Xu Liang and drank another cup of warm tea. It looks like he's still sulking.

Seeing this, Xu Liang couldn't help but ask Chun'er curiously: "What did those old coffins and scoops say about Suqin?" ”

Chun'er glanced at Xu Liang cautiously and whispered, "Master, they don't mean Madame, they're talking about you, Master." ”

"Say me?" Xu Liang said lightly: "I'm not from the Pingliang Chamber of Commerce, what do they say about me?" ”

Chun'er thought for a while and said, "Chun'er and the eldest lady went to the Pingliang Chamber of Commerce together, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw several members of the Chamber of Commerce gathered around to discuss a notice. When the lady went up, she looked at the notice. Some of them inquired of the proclamation from the lady. Madame naturally tried her best to defend the master, and it took a lot of time to suppress the discussion, but it seemed that it would be. Those people believed it on the surface, but secretly they still doubted the master. ”

It's that damn proclamation again! Xu Liang scolded secretly. Although Tsing Yi Wei found out early, he was also very effective in retracting the notice. But after all, there must still be fish that slipped through the net, and I didn't expect that one of them actually fell into the Pingliang Chamber of Commerce.

Xu Liang couldn't help but increase his hatred for Shi someone. I can't wait to cut this Shi Junsheng with a thousand knives to vent the hatred in my heart.

"That's it." Xu Liang approached Feng Suqin. took Feng Suqin's hand and said softly: "What is written on the notice, a discerning person can know at a glance that it is purely a deliberate frame-up and malicious slander. Su Qin, why do you have to explain more to those who have ill intentions. ”

Feng Suqin was indignant, waved her fists twice, and said, "I just can't be angry." Xianggong, in order to quell the rebellion of the people's army, you were born and died several times, and tens of thousands of Liang soldiers were bloody! How can anyone frame the public to be corrupt and corrupt for personal gain, and privately train soldiers and horses! Don't let me catch this proclamator, or I won't let him go. ”

Xu Liang comforted, "I have asked Tsing Yiwei to verify these things, so you don't have to worry about Suqin." ”

Hearing that Xu Liang had arranged for Tsing Yi Wei to verify, Feng Suqin hummed lightly and relaxed slightly.

Xu Liang changed the topic and asked, "The artillery battalion found a brine in the north valley of Huining City in Gongchang Mansion, and I arranged for Wu Side to go there to cook before I left for Hanzhong Mansion. More than half a month has passed, and I don't know how it was handled over there. ”

Speaking of things in the business field, Feng Suqin really got into the trap, and after thinking about it, she swept away her previous indignation, and said with her eyebrows fluttering: "After you leave, Shopkeeper Wu will report to me." A while ago, I took Chun'er to go there in person. Xianggong, that valley can be regarded as a cash cow. Now 12 brine wells have been opened, which can boil nearly 1,000 catties of salt every day, and it is conservatively estimated that the income from selling salt in a month can reach as much as 10,000 taels. Over the course of this year, you can get more than 100,000 taels of silver just by boiling salt! It's worth a flat soap and paste factory. ”

When Xu Liang heard this, he didn't expect that the valley he discovered by chance was so precious, and he was also very happy. Then he instructed: "The matter of brine is very profitable, and it can be maintained as a long-term industry, and that Wu Side is a business talent, and he will be responsible for the operation of brine salt." ”

Feng Suqin said: "Well, I also have this idea. ”

Xu Liang said again: "This time I brought back dozens of cars of gold and silver from Hanzhong Mansion to collect the fine and soft, I estimate that there are more than 100,000 taels at the least, you arrange someone to count it clearly, convert it into cash, on the one hand, it will be distributed to the families of the soldiers who died in the war, and on the other hand, it will be used as military expenses to recruit new soldiers of the Liang Army." ”

Feng Suqin nodded and said with a smile: "I already let people do it." ”

That night, Xu Liang quietly left Pingliang City with a few Tsing Yi guards and came to a mountain outside Pingliang City. Tsing Yi Wei, who had arrived early, stepped forward to respond.

Tietou accompanied Xu Liang into a dense forest on the mountain, where dozens of Tsing Yi guards guarded the surroundings, and the light of the torches illuminated an area in the forest. Under a big pine tree, a man in brocade was tied with hemp rope and squatted under the tree, with a black cloth bag on his head and stinky socks in his mouth. Make a whining sound.

Xu Liang put his hands behind his back and stood in front of the man in brocade. looked at him coldly and said, "Pick things off." ”

A Tsing Yi guard stepped forward. Removed the black cloth bag from the brocade man's head and the stinky socks stuffed in his mouth. The true face of the man in brocade was revealed, and it was Shi Junsheng, the former magistrate of the former town.

Shi Junsheng remembered that he had just come out of the best fan in Pingliang City a moment ago, shaking his figure-eight steps, humming the tune of **, and was walking in the direction of the inn step by step, when suddenly a few figures ran out of the dark corner, only to feel that the top of his head was dark, and he was just about to ask in horror, and he was hit with a stick on the back of his head. Lost consciousness. When I woke up and went in, I found that I was tied sturdy, with a black cloth bag on my head and stinky socks in my mouth. I don't know which man with heavy foot took off the socks from his feet, and the smell was so smoked that Shi Junsheng almost vomited all the overnight meal.

It was pitch black in front of me, and I could hear the whispers of the people around me. Shi Junsheng couldn't speak, and began to struggle in fright, but he was beaten with a stick every time.

After three or four times, Shi Junsheng was completely honest and stopped making trouble. Leaning on the old tree lying behind, waiting for the culprit behind the scenes.

rushed at the other party and dared to hit himself on the crowded street, Shi Junsheng faintly guessed that it was not easy for the culprit to make many friends.

The black cloth bag on his head was removed, and Shi Junsheng squinted his eyes to get used to the bright torches around him for a while. That's when I looked up. Seeing Xu Liang standing in front of him, Shi Junsheng exclaimed, "It's you?!" ”

Xu Liang smiled and said, "It's me." ”

Shi Junsheng looked around and saw that dozens of people around him were all Tsing Yi Wei beside Xu Liang. Judu pressed his hand to the knife and stared at him with bad intentions. couldn't help but shout at Xu Liang in horror: "Xu Liang, you." What do you want to do with me here? Put me out! ”

Xu Liang looked at Shi Junsheng with a smile, stretched out his hand and slapped Shi Junsheng's face with a crisp sound, and after a few slaps, Shi Junsheng's right cheek was slapped red.

"Ahh Do you dare to hit me? You abuse lynching! Shi Junsheng exclaimed in horror.

Xu Liang slapped him again and shouted: "Death is on the verge of death, and you dare to be hard-mouthed!" ”

Bang, a bright red handprint was imprinted on Shi Junsheng's face, Shi Junsheng was beaten to the bridge of his nose, and blood overflowed from the corners of his mouth.

"Ahh Shi Junsheng screamed miserably and glared at Xu Liang viciously.

"Yo, yo, yo! How the fuck do you dare to stare at me like that? Xu Liang shouted strangely, and instructed the left and right Qingyi guards: "It seems that you still can't figure out the shape, and you think that you are the Zhenyuan Zhixian, and there is Cao Ge Lao on it!" Come on, who will reward our Master Shi with ten big slaps to refresh his mind and make him sober. ”

"Okay." Immediately, a Tsing Yi guard stepped forward with a malicious smile, pressing the joints of his two fingers to beep as he walked.

Shi Junsheng saw a big fan-like palm whirring wind, and it struck, with a muffled sound, and suddenly he felt that the entire left half of his face was not his own, and he was numb.

With a stumble, Shi Junsheng was slapped to the right by the palm of his hand.

The guards quickly made a move, held down Shi Junsheng, and shot a bow left and right in Shi Junsheng's face, only to hear the snapping and slapping sound.

After two strokes, Shi Junsheng's screams came out, and the pain that had turned into a piercing heart when he was in the slightest bit of Ma Deng before.

"Ahh

"Ouch!"

"Oh......"

The screams of killing pigs rang out.

Xu Liang leaned under a big tree, listened to Shi Junsheng's miserable howl, rubbed his ears, and whispered: "You call, even if you cut your throat tonight, no one will come to save you." ”

After a while, the guard stopped, walked up to Xu Liang, and arched his hand: "My lord, the ten slaps are over." ”

When Xu Liang heard this, he stepped forward, only to see Shi Junsheng sitting on the dirt at this time, his two faces were swollen, red blood marks occupied most of his cheeks, and his nose was dripping near the bridge of his nose, and his mouth was slanting, which was very different from the appearance of brocade clothes and jade noodles before.

“…… Don't fight......" Shi Junsheng saw Xu Liang approaching, and his face finally showed a look of fear.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk!" Xu Liang stretched out his hand to lift half of Shi Junsheng's chin, looked at it with a sigh, saw that there was a lot of blood on his hands, and wiped it off Shi Junsheng's gorgeous brocade clothes with a disgusted face.

"If you knew today, why bother." Xu Liang sighed and said, "Shi Junsheng, I didn't want to kill them all, I just wanted to remove your official position and make room for He Cheng." I originally planned to spare your life, and in the future, you will not be an official, and with your IQ, you can become a well-off family if you are a landlord in business. It's a pity, it's only because you don't know the severity, and you want to frame me after losing your official position, adding blockage to my heart. You actually came up with a "letter to the people of Pingliang", and made me useless and extremely ugly. ”

Xu Liang looked at Shi Junsheng, there was not a trace of anger in his tone, and his tone was as flat as if two friends were chatting.

"I'm angry, and the consequences are severe." Xu Liang looked directly at Shi Junsheng and said.

"I, I know it's wrong." Shi Junsheng trembled his lips and said, "A thousand shouldn't, never right, I shouldn't pretend to be Xu Liang you." Lord Xu, you have a lot of adults, your general can run a horse on his head, and the prime minister can hold a boat in his belly, I have been dismissed now, and I can no longer threaten you, Lord Xu, I promise never to appear in front of you again in the future, you will treat me as a fart, let me go. ”

Shi Junsheng was really scared. At this time, in the middle of the night, it was located in the wilderness, and the surrounding area was full of Xu Liang's people, the key was to look at Xu Liang's formation, he really wanted to kill himself. Shi Junsheng is paranoid, but he is more afraid of death.

"Hehe," Xu Liang chuckled, shook his head, pointed to a dug dirt pit in the woods, and said, "I am similar to Shi Junsheng, and I am also very persistent." Although your expression just now seems to be repentance, I don't want to change my mind. Do you see that freshly dug dirt pit? That's what I dug for you, you and my colleagues, and I don't plan to kill you with a knife. ”

Shi Junsheng looked horrified: "You, what do you want to do with me?" ”

Xu Liang smiled, looking extremely gloomy and terrifying in Shi Junsheng's eyes.

Xu Liang gestured, "Shi Junsheng, have you ever seen ordinary people planting trees?" Dig a pit, put the tree seeds vertically, and bury the soil layer by layer...... I thought about it and decided not to kill you, but to plant you too. ”

"No, you can't." Shi Junsheng trembled all over, looking at that dirt pit was as terrifying as seeing the Netherworld. He let out a wail, and tears fell from his eyes.

"I don't want to die...... Lord Xu, please, don't kill me. ”

Xu Liang said seriously: "I just said it, I won't kill you." ”

“…… Don't plant me either......" Shi Junsheng trembled like chaff, and kept kowtowing to Xu Liang, "Please, don't kill me...... I was wrong...... Whining...... I don't want to die......"

Xu Liang looked disgusted, stood up, and indifferently ordered the guards on the left and right: "It's almost time, plant him!" (To be continued......)
