In fact, in the letter to Xu Liang, the leader of the thieves, Li Xinbei did not say anything except a story. However, Xu Liang immediately understood Li Xinbei, that is, Wei Zhongxian's hidden meaning.

For a long time, the reason why the court and Emperor Zhenzhen were able to tolerate the growth of Xu Liang and the Liang army was that the thieves were rampant in Pingliang Mansion, and a strong army was needed to shock them, and in Pingliang Mansion, Andong Zhongwei had been disabled, and the Guyuan guerrilla camp was almost closed.

Yes, although Zhang Fengqi, the prefect of Pingliang, has made countless twists and turns, Cao Yubian, the imperial historian of the left capital, has stated countless times in the court that he wants to transfer Xu Liang to another place in order to weaken his power in Pingliang, but Emperor Chongzhen did not agree.

Pingliang Mansion is still in turmoil, and at this time, without the deterrence of the Liang Army, won't Pingliang Mansion be chaotic? Therefore, as long as the thieves in Pingliang Mansion are not pacified, Xu Liang and Liang Jun can sit back and relax.

This is also an important reason why Xu Liang was in a hurry to recruit the Liang army at the critical juncture when Luo Rucai, Dai Feng and others were eager to attack Jingning Prefecture, where the thieves were stationed.

Early in the morning, Xu Liang changed into a brand-new crimson official robe, took a soft sedan chair, and staggered to the Yamen of the Pingliang Prefect. Xu Liang got off the official sedan chair, looked up at the sky, and felt that it was still early, so he slowly and leisurely paced into the signing room of Pingliang Tuiguan Huang Daozhou.

From a distance, I saw Huang Daozhou lying on the desk of the prison window writing and drawing, and his expression was extremely serious.

Xu Liang knocked on the wooden wall outside the window, and Huang Daozhou raised his eyes and saw that it was Xu Liang, so he couldn't help but get up and salute Xu Liang enthusiastically: "It turned out to be Lord Xu." Fast forward please. ”

beckoned Xu Liang into the signing room, and hurriedly made a cup of hot tea for Xu Liang. Respectfully asked Xu Liang to sit on the main seat, and Huang Daozhou owed the little half of his ass. He sat down next to another small chair and said in surprise, "My lord hasn't come to the official signing room for some days." ”

Xu Liang listened, and was embarrassed. Since Zhang Fengqi, the governor of Guyuan, took office as the prefect of Pingliang, Xu Liang has either taken sick leave, or has urgent matters, and often does not work in the government, and only calls a few cronies to the Xu Mansion to discuss, and even the meetings held by the prefect Zhang Fengqi several times, Xu Liang is most likely absent.

However, although Xu Liang does not often appear in the government. But no one in the government dared not pay attention to Xu Liang's opinion. Often, Pingliang knows Xu Liang's words, and its effectiveness is better than that of Zhang Fengqi, the prefect of Pingliang.

Xu Liang touched the tip of his nose and smiled, "The official has a lot of things, and he has been unwell recently, so the government has indeed come less." ”

Huang Daozhou naturally knew the grievances and entanglements between Xu Liang and Zhang Fengqi, and he was not entangled in this issue, so he turned his face and said: "My lord, the appointment of the magistrate of Chongxin and Huating County has come down. Mao Yujie was indeed mentioned as a Chongxin canonical history, but the Huating Zhixian was a person who was transferred from Jiangxi. ”

"But it's called Qin Feng?" Xu Liang asked.

"It's Qin Feng." Huang Daozhou smiled in surprise, "It is said that this Qin Feng was originally the head of a county in Jianchang County under the Kangfu in Nanjiang, but I don't know why he was promoted to a county magistrate in one fell swoop...... Belch. Lord Xu was also an official in Jianchang at the beginning, isn't it? ”

Xu Liang laughed, and said proudly: "Back then, this official was the chief bookkeeper of Jianchang. Qin Feng is the newly arrived Jianchang Dianshi, speaking of which, Qin Feng is still a student who was promoted in the examination at the same time as this official. ”

Zodiac Zhou suddenly realized. muttered to himself, "No wonder...... I see......"

Xu Liang secretly thought to himself that although Wang Xian's grade was not high. But it was also straightforward, Xu Liang only briefly revealed some thoughts to Wang Langzhong, and Wang Xian was actually able to operate Qin Feng as the magistrate of Huating. It can be seen from this how important Wang Xian's position is.

Xu Liang and Huang Daozhou talked and laughed for a while, then patted his buttocks, got up and stretched, and said: "I won't talk too much, this official came this time to discuss things with Lord Futai." ”

Huang Daozhou blinked, "Your Excellency doesn't have to go. Futai Lord he...... Sick. ”

"Oh?" Xu Liang said suspiciously: "Lord Futai is in the prime of life, why did he suddenly get sick?" ”

Huang Daozhou said: "What is the situation, the lower officials are not very clear, but I heard from the officials of the government that after the appointment of the magistrate of Huating, Lord Futai was originally very happy, but Lord Lu Chengyuan, the governor of Guyuan, went to see Lord Futai, and Lord Futai fell ill. ”

Xu Liang immediately guessed that it must have been Lu Chengyuan who heard that Qin Feng was appointed as the magistrate of Huating County, and knew that Qin Feng and Xu Liang were from the same year, and they were both from Ji'an Mansion, so he couldn't wait to tell Governor Zhang, and Governor Zhang's dream of controlling Pingliang came to naught, so he was naturally depressed. However, with such a small blow, he actually fell ill, and his ability to fight is too weak, right?

Xu Liang laughed, "Lord Futai actually fell ill, and this official knows it for the first time." This official is going to visit Lord Futai. Alas, speaking of which, Lord Futai is the parent official of Pingliang, and for the safety of the people of Pingliang, he worked hard until he fell ill, which is really a model for my generation. ”

After that, Xu Liang walked out of Huang Daozhou's signing room under Huang Daozhou's stunned gaze, and walked towards the inner courtyard of Pingliang Mansion.

Along the way, Xu Liang hummed an unknown Xiaodian and shook it three times in one step.

At the half-moon-shaped archway, the two yacha on duty accompanied the smiling faces, hesitated and stretched out their hands to stop them, "Lord Xu stays, the back yamen is a resting place for Lord Xutai's family, and no one is allowed to approach without the permission of Lord Futai." ”

Xu Liang's face was suddenly full of displeasure, and he brushed his sleeves and said, "Do you know who I am?" ”

"The adult said and laughed," the two yacha laughed more bitterly than Huang Lian, and gave up their hands again and again, "The younger one doesn't know his own parents, and he can't help but know you, Lord Xu." Lord Xu, don't be angry, Lord Futai confessed yesterday that he was slightly ill and no one was seen. ”

Xu Liang smiled, waved his hand and said, "Young man, you don't understand this, Lord Futai said that no one is seen, it is for outsiders in the counties and other brother prefectures." Xu Liang pointed to the tip of his nose and shouted proudly: "Lord Futai is the prefect of Pingliang, but this official is also the same governor of Pingliang, and this Lord of Futai is the direction sign of the lower official, pointing the light." I heard that the Futai Lord was slightly ill, and the official was the right-hand man of Lord Zhang, so he was worried in the morning, worried in the evening, and didn't think about tea and dinner. almost became an unrequited love, but now that I heard that Governor Zhang's health is much better, let's not make up any more reasons. Xu Liang had to take a look at the situation of the Lord Futai with his own eyes to feel at ease. ”

"However, Lord Futai has ordered, you have to have Zhang Futai's order to go in." A younger official said loudly, and when another official saw this, he hurriedly grabbed the young official and said, saying that he glanced at the official again and again.

Xu Liang's face suddenly became even more ugly, and he snorted coldly, and the Tsing Yi guards behind him stretched out their hands to separate the two little officials, Xu Liang snorted lightly and entered the inner courtyard with his head held high.

Governor Zhang's mansion is naturally in good health, and there is no sign of illness at all. When Xu Liang entered, Governor Zhang was enjoying the cool in a gazebo, holding a box in his hand, and was tearing the steamed buns with great interest and throwing them into the pond to feed the fish, and a beauty in a spring shirt and short sleeves next to him exclaimed exaggeratedly.

This woman originally had seven points of color, and she skillfully applied lead, and suddenly she showed ten colors, and her pink bandeau was wrapped in two balls of stunners, which were bulging, and she shook magnificently when she smiled.

Governor Zhang stretched out two salty pig hands and took a handful in her breast, causing the woman to laugh.

Xu Liang put on an exaggerated smile, arched his hand and laughed: "Lord Futai is so interested...... It seems that there are rumors outside that Lord Futai is sick, which is too unbelievable. ”

When Governor Zhang heard Xu Liang's words, he panicked, sent the woman away, lowered his face, and asked, "Lord Xu, why are you here?" ”

Xu Liang didn't seem to see the displeasure on Governor Zhang's face, and arched his hand with a smile: "Futai, happy event, big happy event." ”

Governor Zhang lowered his eyelids and said sullenly: "Under the rule of this mansion, the people are in hardship, how can I be happy?" ”

Xu Liangsan stepped up to the pavilion in two steps, sat on the railing on one side, and said with a smile: "Haven't you heard of Lord Futai?" The Liang army attacked in a big way and conquered the two counties of Longde and Zhuanglang in one fell swoop, isn't it a great joy to win such a big victory? ”

"Well, although this mansion has not seen the official battle report, the news has been heard for a long time. The government is also about to play the court court to ask for credit for Lord Xu and the soldiers of the Liang army. ”

It's strange to believe you! Xu Liang scolded secretly, took out a bill-like thing from his arms, presented it to Governor Zhang, and said with a smile: "This battle, the thief army was caught off guard, and the thieves were killed by nearly 40,000 heads. ”

When Zhang Zhifu heard this number, he almost fainted, took the bill and looked at it again, and saw a bunch of small black names on it, and after looking at it for a while, Zhang Zhifu only felt dazzled. After a while, Governor Zhang finally showed a smile, although it was very far-fetched, but there was no warm atmosphere at all.

"That...... Lord Xu, you and I are officials in the same dynasty, and the robe is deep, this head is a little more substantial, and this mansion has been a little tight recently, and I can't take out the more than 90,000 silver......"

Xu Liang jumped up and shouted, "What's the matter, Lord Futai wants to pay the bill?!" (To be continued......)
