After checking several warehouses in a row, what Wang Zongbing found, in addition to mouse feces, was a thick layer of dust. Mr. Wang no longer howled, and if the fierce light in his eyes could kill people, the accompanying Pingliang Tongzhi Lu Yifa was estimated to have been cut into countless segments by Mr. Wang's eyes.

After checking all the treasury, Mr. Wang, who had eaten a mouthful of ashes, led the prefect yamen in a rage, and Pingliang and Zhilu carefully accompanied the smiling face and continued to explain: "Mr. Wang is angry, angry, you have also seen it, if it is not for the fact that the lower officials do not allocate food and salary, it is indeed impossible to take it out." ”

Mr. Wang ignored the military reasoning, and walked into the prefect's yamen angrily, and the officials on duty at the yamen hesitated to stop but did not dare to stop.

General Wang entered the palace and yelled repeatedly: "Xu Liang, Xu Zhifu, get out of here for General Ben!" ”

However, no one answered in the prefect's yamen, and the scribes in the various signing rooms carefully poked their heads out and looked at Wang Pu, the chief soldier of the Beijing camp, who was blushing and thick-necked, like a shrew scolding the street.

Wang Zongbing was angry and wounded, ran to the lobby, didn't see Xu Liang, went to the second hall, went to Xu Liang's study, and still didn't see anyone, not only Xu Liang was gone, but even Pingliang Push official Huang Daozhou was also gone.

"Governor Xu! What is it to hide and hide, get out of here for General Ben! Mr. Wang was so angry that he shouted, and the sound shook the beams of the house. Lu Tongzhi followed behind General Soldier Wang, and when he saw General Soldier Wang yelling, he looked like he was not seeing Xu Liang and swore not to give up, so he hurriedly beckoned to a servant on duty and asked, "What about Lord Futai and Huang Tuiguan?" Why isn't it in the house? ”

The official cowered and arched his hand: "If you go back to Lord Lu, Lord Futai said that you have a headache, and you will go back to Xu Mansion to rest." Lord Huang went out of the city with the head of the cow to investigate the case. ”

Lu Tongzhi was stunned, Xu Liang and Huang Daozhou were not in the mansion at the same time. No matter how you listen to this, there is a bit of a smell of avoidance, and at this time, Lu Tongzhi suddenly realized that his current situation was not good.

Several times inside and outside the prefect's yamen. The person with the highest grade is actually the only one left!

Wang Zongbing glared at Lu Tongzhi viciously, "Where is Xu Liang's mansion?" Lu Tongzhi, you take General Ben with you! ”

Lu Tongzhi was taken aback, Xu Liang obviously guessed that Mr. Wang didn't get the salary, so he would be angry and deliberately hid, if he brought Mr. Wang to Xu's mansion again, would Xu Liang be furious and cut himself into seven or eight sections?

"This ......" Lu Tongzhi looked around. Looking up and down, he squeaked and said: "Mr. Wang, you see that we have been busy for a day, and the sun is about to set, since Lord Xu is unwell, let's go and disturb it another day, right?" ”

When Wang Zongbing heard this, he was annoyed again, looked up at the sky, and found that it was indeed not early. Since General Soldier Wang stationed more than 5,000 officers and soldiers of the Beijing Battalion in the Dongda Camp east of Pingliang City, General Soldier Wang led dozens of people into the city to ask for food and wages, regardless of whether there was a result or not, in order to prevent accidents in the camp. General Wang had to send a letter to the officers and soldiers of the East Battalion.

Holding back his anger, Wang Zongbing gritted his teeth and said: "It's okay, then the general will find Xu Zhifu Theory tomorrow." ”

Lu Tongzhi had a smile on his face. He praised again and again: "General Wang understands the righteousness, and the officials admire it." Mr. Wang and the brothers were also tired for a day. Rest first, and then the lower official will go and call someone for tea. ”

Let's talk about it. Lu Tongzhi turned around and left.

For Lu Tongzhi, who has accompanied him for a day and has a good attitude, Wang Zongbing is still quite satisfied. Seeing Lu Tongzhi leave, Wang Zongbing didn't treat himself as an outsider, and beckoned his dozens of personal soldiers to find a place to sit in the lobby of the prefect's yamen, waiting for Lu Tongzhi to land.

However, waiting left and right, sitting for almost half an hour, not to mention Lu Tongzhi, he didn't even watch one or two officials who served tea come in. Wang Zongbing felt that something was wrong, called a passing officer, and asked angrily: "What do you Lu Tongzhi do?" ”

The official was very panicked, and he bowed his hand again, and pointed his right hand in the direction of the gate, and said, "Lord Lu left the palace half an hour ago......

What the? Slipped?

"Ah!!h Wang Zongbing shouted, and pushed the official to fall out.

His subordinates surrounded General Wang and shouted angrily: "General, I think the officials of Pingliang Mansion are bold, this is deliberately snubbing the general!" It's tolerable, it's unbearable! General, let's gather our brothers outside the city, kill Xu's mansion, and take out this evil breath for the general! ”

After saying this, Wang Zongbing was quite moved, and he pondered for a long time, and the remaining trace of reason told Wang Zongbing that he could not do this. Mr. Wang snorted angrily and shook his robe: "Go!" Let's go back to camp first. ”

When passing through the East City Gate, General Soldier Wang found that the number of soldiers defending the city had increased a lot, and the inventory of entering and leaving the city gate was also stricter. The barracks on the side of the city gate were full of people, I don't know how many soldiers were stationed, and looking at the vigilant expressions of the city defense sergeants, it seemed that they were guarding against the invasion of the enemy.

General Wang snorted heavily, and led people straight to the East Camp.

Before the food and salary arrived, General Wang returned to the East Camp with a black face, and his generals knew that the General Soldier was in a bad mood, so he didn't dare to complain, adding fuel to the fire. Soon, the local lieutenant took a few farmers to carry three fat pigs that had been killed into the camp, saying that he had received an order from the prefect to send three pigs over to reward the officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp.

The lieutenant chief handed the things to the sergeant at the gate of the camp, and without saying a word, turned around and left.

General Wang Bing, who was drinking stuffy wine in the military tent, rushed to the gate of the camp when he heard the news, and saw three fat pigs dripping blood and a few carts of turnips, and couldn't help but feel chest tightness and shortness of breath again.

Xu Liang really wanted to use radish stew to reward the officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp!

Compared with Wang Zongbing's dinner main dish, which was only radish stew, Xu Liang's dinner can be described as extremely rich.

On the mahogany table, there are nearly ten exquisite dishes, ranging from meat and vegetarian dishes, to a refreshing soup. Xu Liang ate with a mouth full of oil and was elated.

Feng Suqin and Lou Xian'er looked at Xu Liang curiously, and Lou Xian'er couldn't help asking, "What happy event did Xianggong encounter today?" Appetite so good? ”

"The food tonight is good, the color and flavor are beautiful, and I have an appetite when I look at it." Xu Liang took a sip of soup and said.

Lou Xian'er pouted, "Our family has always had these dishes, and I haven't seen you eat so happily in the past." Wrong. The smile on your lips is so wicked, it must have nothing to do with the dish. ”

Lou Xian'er stroked her palm. He said with great interest: "Xianggong, talk about it quickly." What good or bad things have you done? Could it be that the prefect's yamen was set on fire again? Last time you burned the mansion, you laughed like this when you got home. ”

Burst! Xu Liang spat out a mouthful of soup, glared at Lou Xian'er angrily, and said, "Are you addicted to me when I set fire?" Now the prefect's yamen is me. Will I set fire to my own house? ”

"What's the reason for that?" Lou Xian'er said.

"Xianggong, what the hell is going on?" Feng Suqin couldn't help but ask.

"Want to know?" Xu Liang asked the two.

Lou Xian'er and Feng Suqin nodded violently.

"That's good," Xu Liang smiled maliciously, "If I sue you, the two of you sisters will sleep with your husband tonight." Let's have a dragon and two phoenixes or something. ”

The second daughter blushed suddenly, and both took a sip. looked at Xu Liang with disgust.

Xu Liang didn't know what came to mind, hehe smiled well**.

Unable to stand Lou Xian'er's hard begging, Xu Liang finally smacked his mouth, crossed Erlang's legs, and said leisurely: "There is a way that people have to die more than people, and goods have to be thrown away." Xianggong, when I thought of the general soldier Wang from the capital, who might be pinching his nose and eating stewed pork with old radish, Xianggong felt that he had an appetite. ”

After telling the second daughter about the matter of General Soldier Wang's food and salary during the day, Feng Suqin and Lou Xian'er laughed.

The next day, Xu Liang slowly and leisurely arrived at the prefect's yamen. As soon as he got off the sedan chair, he saw Wang Pu, the chief soldier of the Beijing camp who was in the yamen earlier, with a few personal soldiers coming over with an unkind face.

"Xu Liang, you finally showed up!" Wang Zongbing said in a deep voice.

Xu Liang sighed, shook his head and muttered, "I thought it was a night." Mr. Wang's anger should have disappeared a lot, but I didn't expect Mr. Wang's anger to still be so big. It's a big pain in the body. ”

"Less nonsense!" Mr. Wang's face darkened, and he took out a list of supplies that he had hastily written last night from his arms. slapped it in Xu Liang's hand and said, "This is the food and materials that this general needs." General Ben gives you a day to get the above stuff ready. Sent to the East Camp. ”

Xu Liang glanced at the list and said very simply: "The prefect's yamen has no money!" ”

"That's your business!" General Wang squinted his eyes, revealing a threatening look, very domineering, "General Ben doesn't care whether you borrow, steal, or rob, before sunset today, if General Ben can't see anything, only you Xu Zhifu is asking." ”

Xu Liang sneered in his heart, his neck stiffened, and he said very stiffly: "Pingliang Mansion is so poor that it clangs, General Soldier Wang just killed this mansion, and this mansion can't get out what you want." ”

"Humph!" Wang Zongbing sneered, "After sunset, General Ben can't see anything, so don't blame General Ben for being ruthless." Remind Lord Xu that this general has the emperor's holy decree in his hands. For local officials who do not comply with the order, hum ......"

Wang Zongbing sneered and walked away.

Xu Liang was annoyed in his heart and snorted at Wang Zongbing's back. Entered the lobby of the prefect's yamen, and when he ordered it, he actually found that Lu Tongzhi and Huang Tuiguan were not there, Huang Tuiguan said that he had not returned from the Dongguo investigation overnight, and Lu Tongzhi said that he had eaten a bad stomach last night, vomited and pulled, and collapsed so much that he couldn't get out of bed.

Xu Liang was stunned and scolded these two old officials.

The clerk of the sixth room in the prefect's yamen came to Xu Liang for instructions on work, and Xu Liang signed a few more correspondence documents, and the time passed in the morning.

Guo Tianxu, the county governor of Pingliang, came over.

"Futai, the officers and soldiers of the Beijing battalion in the Dongda Battalion found Xiaguan and said that the battalion had run out of food, and asked Xiaguan to borrow some food temporarily. In this matter, the lower officials can't be the master, so please ask the government to get an idea. ”

Guo Tianxu's county government is also in Pingliang City, and yesterday Lu Tongzhi took Wang Zongbing to visit those empty Fucang Mansions, and the matter of making Wang Zongbing angry in the prefect's yamen has long been spread throughout the Pingliang officialdom. Guo Zhixian couldn't figure out what the attitude of his boss Xu Liang was, so he deliberately ran to ask for an idea.

Xu Liang recalled that in the early morning, Wang Zongbing blocked the yamen and threatened himself, and he was very unhappy, he didn't expect that Wang Zongbing was threatening the prefect's yamen, but he reached out to Pingliang County to borrow grain, saying that it was borrowed, but of course the result was that the meat buns beat the dogs, and there was no return. Squinted at Guo Zhixian, "Is Pingliang County very rich now?" Too much money and food to spend? ”

Guo Zhixian sighed in his heart, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Futai is joking, the county treasury is empty to run rats everywhere, where can it be called rich, and the lower officials are just trying to maintain it." ”

Xu Liang said lightly: "Since you are not rich, take care of yourself in advance." The officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp are the troops sent by the court, and they are supplied by the court. ”

"Ah, yes." Guo Zhixian knew Xu Liang's attitude and responded carefully. He asked cautiously: "Yesterday, Xia Guan had someone send pork radish, will you still send it today?" ”

Xu Liang snorted lightly, "Yesterday's radish stew was a reception banquet for the officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp. One reception banquet is enough, has Guo Zhixian ever heard of the truth of holding a reception banquet every day? ”

"I've never heard of it, of course." Guo Zhixian sneered, thinking to himself, it seems that the general soldier of the East Battalion Wang has offended Lord Xu a lot, and usually when the Beijing division comes, as long as the size is an official, Lord Xu will charter the venue in the Zuixian Building and receive him personally. And this Wang Pu, the chief soldier of the Beijing camp, is also a military general of the second grade of the court, and the reception specification is only old radish stew? It's also a bit too rough.

In fact, there is no big hatred between Xu Liang and Wang Pu, and the reason why Xu Liang does not want to see Wang Zongbing is also because of Wang Zongbing's attitude.

Is Jingguan amazing? Isn't the General Soldier amazing? On the ground in Shaanxi, the veteran Yansui general He Huchen now only allows Liang Ma to be the first to look forward, and Wang Pu is a fart.

Xu Liang was in a bad mood, walked out of the prefect's yamen with his hands behind his back, walked around the lively street where people came and went, went around to Dai Feng's mansion, went into the house and chatted with Mr. Dai, explained a few words, and then slowly returned to Xu's mansion.

In the East Camp, General Wang saw that the sun was about to set, and Xu Liang's figure was not seen, so he thought that Xu Liang didn't take his words seriously. Wang Zongbing paused for murder, carried the holy decree before leaving the capital in his arms, ordered a thousand men and horses, roared, and went straight to Pingliang City with murderous energy.

Wang Zongbing took the lead and rushed to the east gate of Pingliang with a thousand soldiers, but saw that the city gate was closed, and there were many guards on the city tower, and they were nervous to meet Wang Zongbing and others.

"General Wang's army mobilized the army and moved the crowd to kill Pingliang City, what is the intention?" On the city tower, the deputy general soldier of Pingliang stood in the wind and asked the general soldier of Wang.

General Wang stopped his soldiers, raised the yellow silk holy decree in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Listen to the people on the city tower, this general has a holy decree in his hand, and now he enters the city to take Xu Liang, the prefect of Pingliang, who does not obey the decree. Open the gates. ”

Dai Feng stroked his long beard, snorted coldly, and shouted, "Where is the holy decree?" ”

"That's what General Ben has."

"Submit it, General Ben will check the authenticity!" Dai Fengdao, said that he gestured to the left and right, and soon, he put down a bamboo basket from the city tower.

Seeing this, Wang Zongbing trembled with anger, and scolded to the city tower: "What a noble thing the Holy Decree is, how can it be treated like this!" ”

Dai Feng said coldly: "General Wang led the troops into the city, it is related to the safety of the people in Pingliang, this general can't be cautious, and he is in a hurry, even if the saint knows about this matter, he will not blame more." Mr. Wang, you quickly put the holy decree into the basket. ”

Mr. Wang was angry, glared at Dai Feng hatefully, drove forward, and carefully put the holy decree in his hand into the bamboo basket.

The bamboo basket slowly rises and rises back to the castle tower. Dai Feng bowed twice on the tower to the north, and then took out the holy decree and looked at it.

General Wang looked at the city with his neck tilted for a long time, waiting patiently.

After the tea, I suddenly heard Dai Feng poking his head out from the city tower, shaking his head and saying, "General Wang, this holy decree does not match." (To be continued......)
