Feng Suqin was at a loss for herself.

Xing Zhongshan, Dai Feng and the others saw it, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade them to come up with ideas. A room full of people talked about it, and there were a lot of ideas, but there were few feasible ones.

However, in this way, Feng Suqin's originally flustered heart settled down a little. Sitting there and discussing with Xing and Dai for a while, they immediately decided on a few things. The first is to inquire as much as possible about what happened and whether the emperor really interrogated about Xu Liang's case, the second is to inform Ge Qiao, who is rushing to Beijing, to rush to the capital as soon as possible to discuss major matters, and the third is to send an order back to Zhenyuan, with Wanwenshan staying in Zhenyuan, and Hu Xiaoyong leading another 3,000 Liang troops into Beijing in disguise in case of emergency.

It was decided after deliberation, and everyone was given the order to act at the moment. Feng Suqin took Dai Yingying and Chun'er to the mansion of Qiao Yunsheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, in person, but after communicating to the door, the door hurriedly retreated into the door of the mansion as if he had seen the plague god, and closed the door tightly, but he didn't even let Feng Suqin and others enter the door.

The three of them waited for a while, and then stepped forward to knock on the door, only to hear the door inside shouting: "Mrs. Xu, our adults have let go, and I don't have time to see you." Please go back. ”

Feng Suqin was unwilling, and then asked Chun'er to knock on the door. I only heard an angry roar inside: "If you are told to leave, if you don't leave, be careful to let the city patrol Yushi put you in prison!" ”

Dai Yingying was so angry that she was about to kick the door again, but Feng Suqin stopped her, shook her head and sighed, and went to the mansion where Jinyiwei commanded Luo Yangxing. The door of the Luo Mansion will not be closed to refuse customers, the housekeeper of the Luo Mansion came out, sighed and said to Feng Suqin and the others: "Mrs. Xu, my family has an explanation, and the case of Xu Zhixian is no longer something that my family can control, but my family will take care of it as much as possible within the scope of his authority." On the side, it is up to fate. ”

Feng Suqin's mood was a little heavier. After saying a few words of gratitude, he left Luo's Mansion and returned to the carriage with Dai Yingying. Chun'er and the two sat in a daze for a while, and then instructed the coachman: "Go to the yamen of the ministry." ”

Wang Xian in the Ministry of Literature. It is Feng Suqin's last hope.

Wang Xian is still the appearance of a wide heart and a fat body, in the teahouse next to the yamen of the Ministry of Officials, Wang Langzhong listened to Feng Suqin's words, and was taken aback and said: "I don't know about this yet!" That's it, brother and sister, don't worry, I'll go find someone to inquire clearly. ”

experienced the cold reception of Qiao Shangshu and Commander Luo. Seeing Wang Langzhong's statement that he was still warm-hearted, Feng Suqin and the others felt a little warmer.

Wang Xian was anxious, and said that he would really inquire, and immediately said goodbye to Feng Suqin and the others, and went downstairs with a big belly to call a carriage to rush to the palace.

Late that night, Wang Xian knocked on the side door of Weiyuan Building and informed Feng Suqin of the latest situation. As expected, it was really the emperor who spoke. In fact, the original matter of Xu Liang, the emperor was about to forget about it, and Commander Luo took Feng Suqin's money. deliberately dragged on and did not report it, Xu Liang was taken to the edict prison for half a month, and the emperor didn't know about it. However, I don't know how this incident alarmed the left governor Yu Shi Cao Yubian. Listening to what Wang Xian said, this Lord Cao is also one of the people who have the most sacred heart in the Chongzhen Dynasty, Lord Cao is more than seventy years old, and he has the sacred heart, and the emperor allows the palace to sit in a sedan chair, and the holy family can be seen. After Chongzhen retired from the court a few days ago, Lord Cao suddenly found the emperor, reported the matter with a stern expression, and asked the emperor to investigate and deal with it strictly. Even the organizer has thought about it, and he is the imperial history of Zhang Nianyun.

When the emperor heard what Old Man Cao said, he said solemnly. Vaguely remembering that there seemed to be such a thing, he ordered someone to find the excerpt of Shi Junsheng, the superintendent of Shaanxi, who sued Xu Liang. Looking at it again, sure enough, Long Yan was furious, and with a stroke of the pen, the chief judge of Xu Liang's case, Zhang Nianyun, the imperial history of the capital, hurriedly took office.

Wang Xian finally sighed and said, "If the officials next to him come to preside over this case, maybe there will be room for reversal." Zhang Nianyun, the imperial history of the imperial capital, and Cao Yubian, the imperial history of the left capital, are both famous ministers with a clear reputation, and people who do not rub sand in their eyes were excluded and suppressed by Gonggong Wei in their early years, and they are the people who have something to do with Gonggong Wei the most. When Brother Xu was in Jianchang, he served as the assistant official of the Wei Gong Temple in Yunshan for a while, which was a big trouble that added fuel to the fire. ”

"Then there is no way for him to save him?" Feng Suqin's eyes were full of tears, and she choked up.

"Alas, for the sake of today's plan, I can only hope that the recital of Hong Chengchou, the prefect of Pingliang, can be sent to the emperor as soon as possible." Wang Xian sighed, comforted Feng Suqin for a while, and left.

The shape shì became worse and worse, and after two days, even the head of the Chang cell who delivered food for Xu Liang did not come to Weiyuan Building to buy food. Then I sent someone to inquire in the Jinyi Guard's yamen, and those captains didn't even accept the silver.

After Xu Liang was tried that day, he was interrogated twice later, and Zhang Nianyun, the imperial historian of the capital, coerced and intimidated him, and tried his best to do his best, but Xu Liang just did not admit that he had anything to do with the eunuchs.

Due to Jin Yiwei's tough attitude, Zhang Daren could not be tortured forcefully during the interrogation. The interrogation was deadlocked. Zhang Nianyun saw that the emperor's deadline for closing the case was approaching, and in his anger, despite the strong opposition of Xu Changqing, a thousand households in Jinyi, he still used a heavy punishment on Xu Liang.

Woke up and asked again, but Xu Liang still didn't admit it.

Master Zhang has no choice, he can't beat people to death on the spot in front of the Jinyi Wei Qianhu who is eyeing him. Helpless, Lord Zhang handed over the confession to Cao Yubian, the imperial historian of the left capital, and asked for his opinion.

Lord Cao frowned and read the confession of the blood star, and said in a deep voice: "Just these few articles are enough to kill him ten times and again, and the criminal official will not admit that he has anything to do with the eunuch party even if he dies, I am afraid that he is really innocent." This matter should not be dwelled on for too long, so close the case as soon as possible. ”

Soon, Feng Suqin and others heard this desperate news from Jinyiwei. Xu Liang, the former magistrate of Qianzhen, privately trained soldiers and horses, deliberately rebelled, and the evidence was conclusive, and he was sentenced to beheading. The day of the execution has been set, on the ninth day of the fifth month, after the Dragon Boat Festival.

The entire Weiyuan Building was plunged into a state of mourning.

And in an inn not far from the Weiyuan Building, a fierce quarrel was going on in a suite.

"No matter what the third young master says, he is the grandson of the old lady, and he has the blood of the Xu family in his body. Now that he is in trouble, you don't care about family relationships, and want to expel the third young master from the Xu family, is this what people do?! "Roaring was an eighty-year-old man with silver hair, glaring angrily at a man and a woman opposite. But he is the foreign affairs housekeeper of Xu Liang Wan'an's hometown, the grandfather of the iron head, and the fourth master of the iron head.

The man was dressed in a brocade robe. Around fifty years, I could hear the roar of the fourth master of Tie. His face was full of shame and he was silent, but he was Xu Liang's own father in this life, the uncle of the Xu family, Xu Changkun.

The woman is naturally Xu Changkun's wife Xu Yang.

The three of them didn't know when they arrived in Beijing, but instead of meeting Feng Suqin and the others, they avoided it far away and hid in this inn.

Xu Yang's face was also a little embarrassed. But he still argued: "Tie Laosi, we are forced to do this. You also know that our Xu family is also a big family in Wan'an, and there are thousands of people up and down. Now Liang San'er himself is not angry, he has been admitted to the promotion of people and become an official, and he doesn't want to do his errands well, but he wants to engage in those messy halls. Now it's okay, I'm going to get into trouble, and I'm going to lose my head. Hmph, he's been dead for a hundred years, but the court won't just give up. If our Xu family doesn't draw a clear line with him as soon as possible, we will be affected by him. When the time comes, so many people up and down will have to follow the lawsuit! ”

"That can't expel the third young master from the house!" Tie Siye shouted loudly. As he screamed, he slammed his cane against the floor, knocking the whole room trembling.

"Haha," Xu Yang raised his head and laughed, his two triangular eyes slanted at the angry Tie Siye, and shouted, "You said it lightly!" Yes, your fourth son died early, and there is only one grandson under your knees, and this grandson is also messing around outside with Liang San'er, and I am afraid that this time I will also accompany him to the execution ground. Your grandson is about to be gone. I don't want to think about how my lord and I feel! Xu Yangshi snapped his fingers and said eloquently: "We are different from you Tie Laosi!" The old lady has three rooms under his knees. We are still just a big house, except for Liang San'er. There are also Xu Jiang, Xu Qing's two sons, and Xu Ru's daughter. Liang San'er had an accident, and we are also sad, but we can't think about the other three children? If the court investigates and the Xu family suffers because of Liang San'er, what will happen to the three of them? This is just our big house, and there are two and three rooms? ”

"I heard that the crime that Liang San'er provoked this time is a big crime of deliberate rebellion, and that is to punish the Nine Clans!" Xu Yang screamed, his chest rising and falling sharply, and he gasped.

When Tie Siye heard this, he looked at Xu Yangshi in a daze, wanting to refute her words with something, but he couldn't think of a tenable statement. Waving his hand irritably, Tie Siye turned to glare at Xu Changkun, the uncle of the Xu family, and said, "Chang Kun, the eldest lady is a woman, she is shallow, what do you mean, I want to listen to you." ”

Xu Yangshi was about to cross his waist and get angry when he heard this, Xu Changkun glared at her and swallowed back the scolding that came to his mouth. Xu Changkun walked in front of Tie Siye, helped Tie Siye to sit on the chair, refilled the tea for him with his own hands, sighed, and said slowly: "What Fang Cai said is not unpleasant, but it is not unreasonable. Fourth uncle, I know that you have always loved Liang San'er, and if you don't agree, I can understand it. However, I am now in charge of the Xu family, and I have to think about the entire Xu family. Liang San'er is all to blame for this matter, and he can't complain about others. ”

"But he's your own son!" Tie Siye shouted, and got up again with a snort.

Xu Changkun hurriedly pressed him gently, and said in a heavy tone: "Scrape the bones to cure the poison, and the strong man will break his wrist!" The big picture, the big picture is important! Fourth uncle! ”

Tie Siye was silent for a while, sighed, and said, "If the old lady is here, he will definitely not agree to you doing this." ”

Xu Changkun looked at Tie Siye steadily, his voice flickered, and said, "Fourth Uncle, my father also agrees with this matter." ”

"What?" Tie Siye's body trembled violently, and he looked at Xu Changkun in shock.

Xu Changkun took out a piece of paper from his arms, unfolded it and put it in front of Tie Siye.

Tie Siye picked up the paper with trembling hands, looked at it intently, and saw that it was written: "If the situation is critical, the foundation of the Xu family should be the most important, and it should be broken." "Old Lady Xu's signature Tie Siye is very familiar, and at this time, it seems that the signature of the dragon flying and phoenix dancing in the past is a little hideous and terrifying.

Tie Siye was stunned, and the paper in his hand slipped from his fingertips and fell onto the table.

Xu Changkun sighed: "Before coming to the capital, I asked my father for instructions, and he wrote this note. I understood what he meant, Liang San'er's stay in the Xu family completely depends on the size of his matter this time. If Liang San'er can be saved, we should do our best to rescue it, but now we can't save it if we want to, alas. This is also the reason why we arrived in the capital but did not come into contact with Liang San'er's gang. ”

Xu Yang took the note from the table, and saw that it was indeed the old lady Xu's handwriting, so he couldn't help but put his mind at ease, and sneered at the fourth master: "How about it, you should have nothing to say this time." ”

Seeing that Tie Siye didn't answer in a daze, she was secretly proud for a while, suddenly remembered something, and exclaimed: "Ah, it's bad, Qing'er is still mixed with that gang, but you dare to call him back." With that, Xu Yang hurriedly walked out.

Xu Changkun stopped her and said, "You don't have to go, I have already asked someone to notify Qing'er to come over." (To be continued)
