June arrived as scheduled.

Almost overnight, a series of fights broke out in various prefectures and counties in Shaanxi Province.

In a remote manor in Gongchang Mansion, the morning dew has not yet dissipated, and the early risers have just opened the door of the manor to prepare for a new day's work. Everything looked like it had just woken up. A servant stood under the red-lacquered door and stretched out comfortably, yawning, when suddenly a sharp arrow suddenly appeared in his chest, and the castration of the arrow shook him back and slammed against the door.

"Ah...... Scold? The subordinate didn't understand what was going on, he stared blankly at the arrow feather that was still trembling lightly in his chest, the sharp pain and blood began to appear, he tried to look up at the place where the arrow feather came from, only to see a row of black-clothed people suddenly come out in the distance, the Pu knife in his hand flashed coldly, and his eyes looked at the subordinate coldly, and he approached quickly.

The subordinate wanted to shout a warning, but he tried to open his mouth, but nothing came out.

The man in black glanced at the person coldly, and the man in black who led the way shouted: "Kill!" ”

The many black-clothed people behind him rushed in, and the last consciousness of the people under the arrow heard a series of screams of frightened screams suddenly erupted from the manor......

Similar situations have appeared in Xi'an, Hanzhong, Qingyang, Fengxiang and .......

Some people who escaped or people who found the murder ran to the government to report the case in panic, and the frightened local government sent officers and soldiers to arrive, but they were thrown out by the black-clothed people who were sweeping the tail A piece of Jinyiwei's waist card, accompanied by a cold sentence: "Jinyiwei handles the case, and the idle people avoid it!" ”

The faces of the officers and men turned pale. I didn't dare to put a fart, and obediently retreated.

The news reached the officialdom of Shaanxi. Officials in all prefectures and counties throughout Shaanxi were trembling as they carefully and apprelessly counted their recent performance. Let's see if there is anything out of the ordinary that is worthy of Jinyiwei's action, while speculating in horror about the purpose of Jinyiwei's sudden thunderous action.

Not long after, after the successful completion of work, the Jinyi guards actually politely visited the local government and politely reported the purpose of the lightning operation, and at the same time reported the number of people who had killed the incense smelling sect, etc., and the adults in the local government were a little relieved.

Shaanxi Governor Hong Chengchou was going crazy.

I was deceived, and I was deceived by Xu Liang again! Although it was Jinyiwei who was handling the case, a large number of so-called Jinyiwei returned to one place collectively afterwards: Pingliang Mansion, Hong Chengchou knew that this matter had nothing to do with Xu Liang! Hate when Governor Hong asked Xu Liang. Xu Liang still had a blank expression on his face.

It's too hypocritical, it's too fake!

Governor Hong reappeared in the prefect's yamen of Pingliang Mansion in anger. Different from the previous light car and simple travel, this time Governor Hong played the full guard of honor of the Shaanxi Governor's Yamen, and drove to Pingliang Mansion very officially.

Let's put it bluntly, Governor Hong is here to be held accountable.

However, Xu Liang, the prefect of Pingliang, did not have the consciousness of a catastrophe at all, and faced with the bearded Governor Hong, Lord Xu looked innocent: "Zhongcheng is angry, it's really not to blame the lower officials for hiding from you, those old men in brocade clothes have already had strict orders." If the lower official reveals even a word to the outside world, it will be the end of the head! Hey, that, you know that, too. Jinyiwei's murderous name, a small Pingliang prefect under the official, but he never dared to offend the ......"

"Ed. Just keep making it up! Governor Hong was almost mad, and roared at Xu Liang: "The old man has already asked Jinyi Wei Xi'an Qianhu. The dignified Thousand Households didn't know that there was such a thing! Xu Liang, you. You're so presumptuous! ”

Xu Liang's face changed, and he hurriedly smiled: "Xiaguan really didn't lie to you, my Lord Zhongcheng." The matter of purging the Wenxiang Sect this time was directly instructed by Lord Luo Yangxing, who was commanded by the Jinyi Wei in the Beijing Division, and in order to keep it secret, even the thousands of households in Xi'an were not informed, in order to kill the Wenxiang Sect unexpectedly! ”

"Huh? Luo Yangxing? Governor Hong choked, the commander of the Jinyi Guard of the third grade made Luo Yangxing's prestige, Governor Hong was still very frightened, he put away his anger, and asked in a deep voice: "This matter is an order under Luo's command?" ”

"Exactly!" Xu Liang nodded solemnly, and sighed: "My lord, think about it, such a big stroke, if it weren't for Lord Luo's instructions, who in the world would dare to risk losing his head?" In one day, nearly 6,000 heads fell to the ground! Hehe, Luo commanded the action, and it was really extraordinary. ”

Governor Hong was shocked, and said in his heart: If it is really an order from the commander of Jinyiwei, then this matter must be a big case that reaches the heavens, and Governor Hong does not dare to mix it with a local governor.

Xu Liang saw Governor Hong's look suspicious, and stepped forward again and said: "Actually, Lord Zhongcheng doesn't have to be so angry, although this matter is the handiwork of Commander Luo, but the lower officials can be regarded as having made great efforts." Moreover, this operation can be described as fruitful, capturing dozens of high-level sectarians such as incense masters, hall masters, deacons, and Dharma protectors of the Wenxiang Sect, killing nearly 6,000 ordinary Wenxiang sect members, and destroying more than 30 secret halls of the Wenxiang Sect. ”

"Hmm......" Governor Hong's eyebrows moved, and he pondered thoughtfully.

"Moreover," Xu Liang dared to add another fire, and said with a strange smile: "This time to clean up the Wenxiang Sect, in addition to uprooting the power of the Wenxiang Sect in Shaanxi, it is also a big gain in terms of money. Saying that, Xu Liang whispered in Governor Hong's ear: "The money and silver taels that were seized this time, in addition to the share reported to the court by Jinyiwei, the lower officials also deliberately withheld 30,000 taels of silver, and the lower officials knew that the governor's yamen of Lord Zhongcheng was not rich, and the 30,000 taels of silver, the lower officials did not want it, and all of them were transferred to the governor's yamen!" ”

"Hmm...... Well? Governor Hong listened, nodded slowly, and his eyes lit up. Can the purging of the Wenxiang Sect still bring such benefits to the governor's yamen? Governor Hong was also moved, his expression immediately eased, looked at Xu Liang, and thoughtfully played an official tone: "Listen to what Guozhong said, Jinyiwei's purging of the Wenxiang Sect this time is really a very happy move." Well. If such a major event occurs in Shaanxi Province, the official cannot pretend to be deaf and dumb in front of the saint. The official went back to the court to explain the great significance of this purge operation. Guozhong, you have made a lot of contributions in this operation, and this official should also take credit for Guozhong. ”

Xu Liang hurriedly said with a smile: "The matter of the lower officials, Zhongcheng, you can just pass it over." Don't hide it from Lord Zhongcheng, Xia Guan has already reported to the court yesterday. ”

"Hmm...... All right. Governor Hong looked at Xu Liang with a modest smile, and guessed that Xu Liang must have taken a step earlier to ask for merit from the court, although Xu Liang himself had folded up, but everyone carried the sedan chair, and Governor Hong secretly decided that he still had to ask for merit for Xu Liang in his compromise.

Governor Hong made a decision in his heart, so he got up and walked out. Xu Liang followed step by step.

Walking to the door, Governor Hong turned his head and said, "Oh, Guozhong, the 30,000 taels of silver you just said?" ”

Xu Liang hurriedly took two steps forward and whispered: "The lower official has already prepared it for the adult, folded it into a silver ticket and put it under the seat of the adult's official sedan chair." ”

Governor Hong nodded with satisfaction, patted Xu Liang's shoulder cordially, and praised: "Guozhong, you are very good." ”

"Your Excellency praised it."

The news reached the ears of Yang He, the governor of the three sides. Once again, Governor Yang was furious. Just a few days ago, Dai Feng, the deputy commander of Pingliang, led an army to attack Tianxing, so that Governor Yang's plan to appease was almost destroyed in his hands, although in the end, Dai only destroyed a civilian army in Tianxing. He urgently withdrew to Pingliang, and did not take advantage of the victory to attack the other civilian troops who had been frightened into bow birds, but Dai Zongbing did this. The impact was so bad that Governor Yang paid the price for the lives of three rebel officials sent to the ranks of the leaders of the People's Army. And the appeasement talks, which were already progressing slowly, were once put on hold.

And how many days have passed, Xu Liang actually made this drama behind his back. Although he borrowed the name of Jinyiwei, Governor Yang was not blind and naturally had a way to understand the truth of the matter. In fact, the matter of purging the Wenxiang Sect this time did not have a too bad impact on Governor Yang's plan to appease him, but what made Governor Yang angry was that Yang He repeatedly warned Xu Liang to maintain stability, obey the overall situation of the appeasement, and purge the Wenxiang Sect later! Obviously, Xu Liang didn't take his words seriously, but after listening to it here, he colluded with Jinyiwei as soon as he turned around and played such a big trick!

Such a leaderless, disobedient, and audacious official has seriously exceeded the limits of Governor Yang's tolerance. In the governor's study, there was a crackling sound, and the three-sided governor Yang He, who had always been gentle and elegant, was furious, and smashed the teapots, porcelain, and vases in the study with his own hands.

"Die! I want him to die! All to death!! At this moment, Yang He, the governor of the three sides, was like a madman, staring at the red silk eyes, screaming, and everywhere he looked, there was a mess, but a middle-aged scribe in the study knew deeply who he was referring to in the mouth of Governor Yang.

This scribe's surname was Song Shiwen, and he was an old advisor who had been with Yang He, the governor of the trilateral for a long time. Song Shiwen, since Governor Yang became the imperial history of the capital in Beijing, he has worshiped under Yang Hemen, and the relationship between the two is extremely close, and it can be said that he knows the roots.

At this moment, in the face of the almost frantic trilateral governor Yang He, Song Shiwen clasped his hands and stood aside silently, letting Governor Yang go crazy.

Governor Yang cursed for a while like the most tasteless shrew on the street, and finally felt that he was singing a one-man show from beginning to end, and Song Shiwen, a confidant and strategist beside him, did not follow the echo. I couldn't help but ask strangely, "Mr. Song, why don't you speak?" ”

Song Shiwen sighed and said lightly: "Xu Liang has become a climate in the northwest, and it is very difficult to want him to die." ”

When Song Shiwen said the word Xu Liang, Governor Yang seemed to have been pricked by a needle suddenly, his whole body trembled, Governor Yang glared at Song Shiwen, and snorted angrily: "A small Pingliang prefect, as long as the governor hands the fold to the court, Xu Liang will immediately obediently cover the volume of the governor and get out." ”

Song Shiwen looked at him and said, "Since Heweng has a plan in his heart, what are you hesitating about?" Under the door, this will lay paper and ink for the crane Weng, and the crane Weng will quickly pick up the pen and play. ”

Governor Yang looked at Song Shiwen in amazement, couldn't help but blush, and sneered: "Mr. is making fun of Ben Governor again." Xu Liang's son is not simple, he holds the military power in his hand, and covers the sky with one hand in Pingliang, if you want to deal with him, you must be cautious. ”

Song Shiwen nodded, arched his hand towards Governor Yang, and said with relief: "He Weng can clearly realize this, and his subordinates are deeply grateful. Yes, Xu Liang has gathered most of the officials in Pingliang Mansion, and has a heavy army, and he has won the appreciation of Hong Chengchou, the governor of Shaanxi. ”

The corners of Governor Yang's mouth twitched for a while like a toothache, and he said helplessly: "When I meet such a master, this governor is really a dog biting and stinging lewd, and there is nowhere to put his mouth, ahhh What a metaphor! After Governor Yang finished speaking, he reacted, the dog bites and stings, doesn't he say that he is a dog and Xu Liang is a hedgehog?

Governor Yang was frowning sadly, but Song Shiwen smiled strangely, bypassed the porcelain slag all over the ground, paced in front of Governor Yang, and said: "Crane Weng, if you want to deal with Xu Liang, there is a plan to draw wages from the bottom of the cauldron under the door, so as to ensure that Xu Liang can be cleaned up smoothly and will not cause trouble to Crane Weng." ”

"Oh?" Yang He listened and said in surprise: "Sir, come and listen." ”

Song Shiwen leaned into Governor Yang's ear and muttered for a while, Governor Yang listened, muttered for a long time, and stroked Song Shiwen's palm and laughed: "Mr.'s talent is comparable to Zhuge Wuhou!" ”

In addition to Yang He, the governor of the three sides, there is also the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Luo Yangxing. Commander Luo received a report from Jinyiwei, and then learned that more than a dozen letters for Jinyiwei and Xu Liang had been put on the desk of the General Administration Department at this moment. Commander Luo began to sit still, and it was difficult to ride a tiger.

Commander Luo didn't think that Jinyiwei might win this time to eliminate the Wenxiang Sect, he just didn't expect that Xu Liang would make such a big deal and make it known to everyone in Shaanxi officialdom.

What's even more odious is that as soon as the report of the purge was sent to Luo Yangxing's desk, the court received one after another from local officials in Shaanxi Province asking for credit for Jinyiwei and Xu Liang.

If there was no instruction from Xu Liang in these twists and turns, Commander Luo would not believe it if he was killed. However, the results of this purging of the Wenxiang Sect were real, and there was a thick list of the Wenxiang Sect members killed, and more than a dozen captured Wenxiang Sect leaders were also on their way to the Beijing Division.

What made the court's eyes even more hot was that the gold and silver artifacts seized during the clean-up process were worth nearly 100,000 taels, and these things were loaded with more than a dozen cars, and they had been personally escorted to the Beijing Division by Duan Zhigang, the chief flag officer of the Xi'an Thousand Households, and the things were placed in the courtyard of the Jinyi Guard Yamen.

Luo Zhijun understood that he was firmly commanded by Xu Liang. And Commander Luo didn't have a temper at all, because the father-in-law who announced that he had entered the palace was already waiting outside.

Jin Yiwei did such a big thing, even Emperor Chongzhen was alarmed, and specially summoned Commander Luo into the palace to ask for details.

Commander Luo sighed secretly, straightened the python robe and jade belt on his body, took a deep breath, and walked out with his head held high.

Following the palace's decree father-in-law all the way into the Daming Palace, just entered the Yang Xin Palace, Emperor Chongzhen, who was sitting and reading the folds, saw Commander Luo, and laughed very happily: "Okay, you Luo Aiqing, you have made such a great contribution quietly, and even I have hidden it!" Come, tell me what is going on......" (To be continued......
