Jinyi Wei Qianhu Xu Changqing smiled hehehe.

Xu Liang waited for him to laugh for a while, straightened his body, leaned forward and asked, "What the hell is going on, Brother Xu has to explain it clearly." ”

Xu Changqing suppressed his smile, took a sip of tea slowly, closed his eyes and tasted it, not looking in a hurry at all. After the impatient look on Xu Liang's face was written on his face, Xu Changqing opened his eyes and said quietly: "Xiaguan was summoned by Jinyiwei early in the morning, thinking that Lord Xu must be dissatisfied after hearing the will of this reward, so he specially rushed over to solve Lord Xu's doubts. ”

"Please also ask Brother Xu to make it clear." Xu Liang urged.

Xu Changqing pointed to his head and said, "The emperor has made such a great contribution to Lord Xu, but the reward is so shallow, even our Luo Zhizhi is surprised." Lord Luo was puzzled and deliberately asked people to verify and find out the reason, and then sent a letter to the lower officials, asking the lower officials to inform Lord Xu. ”

"Actually, the original saint was very satisfied after receiving the report that Lord Xu had recovered Pingliang, and originally planned to appoint Lord Xu as the prefect of Pingliang Mansion. However......" Xu Changqing took another sip of tea.

As soon as he heard these two words, Xu Liang knew that there must be nothing good in the future, so he pricked up his ears and listened.

"However, this incident made Cao Yubian and Zhang Nianyun of the Inspectorate disrupt the situation." Xu Changqing said: "On that day in the court, when the Holy Lord wanted to promote Lord Xu, Lord Cao and Lord Zhang immediately stood up against it. They said that Lord Xu had nearly 10,000 Liang troops in his hands, and he should have the strength to fight the thieves a long time ago, so why did he deliberately delay the attack for more than two months, so that the innocent people were oppressed by the thieves for a long time. ”

Xu Liang was immediately furious when he heard this, and scolded: "These two old horsemen are really messing around, and they have nothing to do!" He didn't want to think that there were no less than 40,000 thieves in Pingliang City. Liang Juncai has more than 10,000 people, with one dozen four, is he invincible when I am all the soldiers of Liang Army? How unreasonable! ”

Xu Changqing smiled hesitantly and said, "Lord Xu, don't be angry, these stirring sticks in the Metropolitan Procuratorate have always been this virtue." Good things can make them say bad things. The Holy One is also accustomed to these people. On the basis of these words alone, the Holy One will not pay much attention to them. ”

"Huh?" Xu Liang looked at Xu Changqing in surprise and asked, "Listen to what you mean, is there any other reason for this?" ”

Xu Changqing nodded, sighed lightly, and looked at Xu Liang. asked: "Dare to ask Lord Xu, after the recovery of Pingliang, the city gates were closed for eight days, and no one was allowed to enter or leave, during which the Liang army vigorously searched for the remnants of the thieves. Did you accidentally ...... the homes of several good families? Encroachment? ”

When Xu Liang heard this, his heart was shocked, and he greeted him with a smile: "At the beginning, Pingliang had just been recovered, and the city was mixed. Is this also incriminating evidence? ”

Xu Changqing said: "Actually, it doesn't matter what Lord Xu did at that time, the key depends on whether it attracts the attention of people who are interested." Zhang Nianyun, the imperial historian of the Imperial Palace, reported Lord Xu in the court that after you recovered Pingliang, you were not strict with your subordinates. connived at his subordinates to loot and kill people...... Lord Luo believes that it is probably this that made the saint change his mind. ”

When Xu Liang heard this, he was stunned for a while, gritted his teeth and squeaked, and scolded Tietou and Luo Baiguan in his heart.

These two bastards. Why is he so eyeless and so rough? Let people grab the handle!

Immediately came to his senses, Xu Liang said in surprise: "Zhang Nianyun, the imperial history of the capital, is far away in the capital. How can this old puppet know about Pingliang Mansion? ”

Xu Changqing knocked on the coffee table and said, "It's not very clear to the official." Most of them have sources in the Metropolitan Procuratorate itself. ”

Xu Liang hatefully scolded Cao Yubian and Zhang Nianyun, and asked Ai Ai Ai: "Then there is no other room for maneuver in this matter?" ”

Xu Changqing sneered, "Lord Xu, this holy decree has come down to Pingliang Mansion, how can it be maneuvered?" ”

Seeing Xu Liang's face discouraged, Xu Changqing comforted again: "Lord Xu doesn't have to be too discouraged, how can I say that the saint is still satisfied with Lord Xu, this gift is the same as the Jinshi background, and the reward is a thousand taels of silver, although the reward is thinner, it is better than nothing." ”

Xu Liang couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this, and secretly said Are you still called a comforting word?

The two sat for a while, and Xu Changqing asked again about the whereabouts of the sheepskin Diamond Sutra that Commander Luo was concerned about, "Lord Xu, Commander Luo also asked the subordinate to ask, how is Lord Xu checking the whereabouts of the Diamond Sutra?" ”

Xu Liang instinctively wanted to say that there was still no progress in the investigation, but suddenly his mind moved, and he hurriedly corrected it, with an excited look on his face, and said to Xu Changqing: "The official is still looking for an opportunity to contact Xu Qianhu. ”

"Oh, Lord Xu has found out what's going on, tell me about it." Xu Changqing originally didn't have much hope for Xu Liang's inquiry, but when he heard Xu Liang say that he had eyebrows, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and got up and asked eagerly.

Xu Liang looked at Xu Changqing's eager expression, and there seemed to be a smile on his face.

Xu Changqing laughed twice, sat back again, took a sip of tea to cover up, and said solemnly to Xu Liang: "What did Lord Xu find out, Commander Luo had already ordered, Lord Xu could directly sue the lower official, and the lower official would tell Lord Luo." ”

Xu Liang chuckled lightly and said, "What did Brother Xu say, can I Xu Liang still believe you?" Even if Lord Luo didn't have such an order, I sued Brother Xu, can Brother Xu still swallow Xu's credit alone? No matter how you look at it, Brother Xu doesn't look like this kind of person. ”

Xu Changqing coughed embarrassedly twice, and hurriedly said: "Lord Xu is right, it should be the credit of Lord Xu, and the lower officials will never be greedy for ink." ”

Xu Liang came closer with a smile, and said mysteriously: "According to the investigation of this official, there is a Diamond Sutra among them, which should have fallen into the hands of Mao Wenlong, the chief soldier of Phi Dao. ”

Xu Changqing was shocked, "Isn't it?" Mao Zongbing is a veteran soldier, and he has little friendship with Gonggong Wei, how could the scriptures fall into his hands? ”

Xu Liang had an irresponsible look on his face, and grinned: "Although the official doesn't want to believe it, the result of the official's investigation is like this. It is said that in the third year of the Apocalypse, General Mao went to Beijing to report on his work, and he visited the Duke of Wei's mansion many times, and it was probably during this period that the Duke of Wei handed over the scriptures to him. Of course, this is just the news that the official has discovered, whether it is true or false, and the official does not dare to guarantee it, and Commander Lao Luo has to send someone to verify it. ”

Xu Changqing's face was bitter, he pinched the teacup in his left hand and turned around, muttering softly in his mouth, "In Mao Wenlong's hands, this is not very easy to start, how to ...... it"

Xu Liang didn't urge, Xu Qianhu recited the Confused Sutra by himself, but he laughed secretly in his heart, thinking that if it weren't for Lao Tzu's support now, even if it was this news, he didn't plan to sue you.

Xu Changqing chattered for a while, then suddenly raised his head and asked Xu Liang: "This is one of them, how many of them are there?" Does Lord Xu have any news? ”

Xu Liang spread his hands and said regretfully: "No, I will find out the whereabouts of this book for the time being." If there is new news in the future, this official will definitely notify Brother Xu as soon as possible. ”

Xu Changqing nodded, and said continuously: "Then it's hard work Lord Xu." ”

Xu Liang said: "Where, where is it, it is an honor for Xu to be able to serve Commander Luo." Well, now that Pingliang City has just been recovered, there are many vacancies under the rule, and some candidates for this official position have reported to the court, and they will have to ask Commander Luo to take care of them at that time. ”

Xu Changqing suddenly understood that Xu Liang was talking about remuneration, and thought that Xu Liang had provided important clues and helped Jinyiwei a lot, so he nodded and said: "Lord Xu is also half of Jinyiwei, and he will definitely be very concerned about the affairs of his own people, so Lord Xu can rest assured." ”

Xu Changqing finished explaining the things that should be explained, and the things that should be asked were also asked clearly, so he got up and said goodbye. walked to the door of the second hall and turned back, and said to Xu Liang: "There is one more thing I forgot to tell Lord Xu, Lord Xu should be careful of Zhang Fengqi, the governor of Guyuan." ”

Xu Liang was stunned for a moment, and said inexplicably: "Guyuan Zhizhou Zhang Fengqi? What happened to him? I'm worried about what he's doing? ”

Xu Changqing chuckled, blinked and said: "There is one thing that Lord Xu may not know, Zhang Fengqi was the year of the Jinshi, and Cao Yubian, the imperial historian of the Zuo Capital, was the chief examiner of that year. Xiaguan heard some rumors in the capital, and Old Man Cao seemed to value this proud protégé very much, and had the idea of helping him to the position of Pingliang prefect. ”

Xu Liang understood what Xu Changqing wanted to say, and hurriedly stuffed several silver tickets into Xu Changqing's hand, this news of Xu Qianhu was too important to Xu Liang.

Because Xu Liang has always thought that he is the best candidate for the prefect of Pingliang, even after recovering Pingliang and accidentally rescuing the original Pingliang Tongzhi Lu Yifa, Xu Liang still has this idea, because after thinking about it, there is no more suitable person to serve as the prefect of Pingliang than Xu Liang himself.

However, Xu Qianhu deliberately revealed that the annoying Guyuan Zhizhou Zhang Fengqi actually had a teacher-student relationship with Cao Yubian, the boss of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Cao Lao Pifu also intended to let Zhang Qi ascend to the Pingliang Prefect, which could not but arouse Xu Liang's vigilance.

The court gave Xu Liang the feeling that whenever there was something mixed with Cao Lao's husband, there would be a lot of variables in the house, this bad old man was annoying, but the energy was not small, which really gave Xu Liang a headache.

Xu Liangdeng felt that he couldn't sit back and wait for it to happen, and he had to plan early. On the same day, he sent a message to Yan Qi, the treasurer of the Tongtianxia Carriage and Horse Shop in the capital, and asked him to send some Jinyi Wei to command Luo Yangxing, Xingbu Shangshu Qiao Yunsheng, Wang Xian of the Ministry of Officials, Wang Xian, and Wang Chengen, the eunuch of the Ministry of Ceremonies, and other officials who had a relationship with Xu Liang, and in the remaining days, Xu Liang issued an official document in the name of Pingliang Mansion, officially sending Pingliang guerrilla deputy general Long Feng to garrison Chongxin City, Pingliang guerrilla general Dai Feng to garrison Pingliang City, Liang Army Deputy General Xing Zhongshan to garrison Jingzhou City, Liang Army artillery battalion and cavalry battalion to garrison Zhenyuan City, clear Zhenyuan, The three cities of Jingzhou and Guyuan were designated as the military base of the Liang army, and it was clear that Mao Yujie was the director of the Pingliang Taxation Bureau, and was fully responsible for the collection of wartime taxes in Pingliang Prefecture.

After taking the military defense forces in various parts of Pingliang in his own hands, on a sunny afternoon, Xu Liang carried a bag of carefully prepared gifts and entered the house of Hong Chengchou, who was participating in politics in Shaanxi. (To be continued)
