Xu Liang returned to the main library and yelled at the servants standing outside: "Go, call all the catches to Lao Tzu to the courtyard!" ”

The servant was so frightened that he ran out, stumbled on the threshold, and fell into the mud, but he didn't snort, and ran out again.

All the catchers of the fast class quickly came together. Hu Xiaoyong looked at Xu Liang Tieqing's face, and cautiously stepped forward to report: "My lord, everyone in the fast class has now been assembled, please give me a lecture." ”

Xu Liang squinted slightly, and said coldly: "This official asks you, who reported to Jiang Dianshi about the loss of people and things in Makou and Shanjiao a few days ago?" ”

Thirty-six catchers, look at me, I look at you, no one answered.

Xu Liang sneered and said, "Okay, it's quite united!" I'll count to ten, and if anyone hasn't come forward yet, or if anyone knows but doesn't say it, then you won't want all your hard-earned money this month! ”

The crowd was about to hear this, and their faces were panicked.

"One!"

"Two!"

"Three!" Xu Liang had a cold face, and coldly counted the sounds and listened to them in his ears, as uncomfortable as a life talisman.

"Four!"

"My lord! I know who revealed it to Master Dianshi. Finally, a little man couldn't stand it anymore and said loudly.

"Who?"

The little man quickly pointed to the front row and said, "It's Jiang Wusi." ”

Xu Liang walked up to the accused catcher in the front row and said coldly: "You are Jiang Wusi?" ”

The catcher was sweating profusely, "Yes, the small one is Jiang Wusi." ”

"You reported it to Jiang Dianshi?"

The sweat on the face of the catcher was like rain, dripping down, and he cried and said with a sad face: "My lord spares his life, that day Lord Jiang found the little one, and the little one saw that he was a Shangguan, so he couldn't say it." ”

"Why do you say it so strictly, how could this official take your life?" Xu Liang smiled coldly, stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat on his face, and said softly: "Look at you, this sweat." I went to the account office to receive this month's monthly money, and I don't want to appear in the county government in the future. ”

The catcher quickly weakened his knees, knelt on the ground and begged bitterly: "Adults spare their lives, the little ones know that they are wrong, the little ones don't dare anymore, adults, you just let the little ones go this time, the little ones have eighty old mothers, and there are three-year-old children, adults!" ”

"Get out!" Xu Liang snorted coldly, seeing that the catcher was still pleading, he yelled: "Get out!" ”

The catcher is still begging.

Xu Liang waved his hand, "Pull him out!" The two catchers heard and dragged the pleading catcher out.

Xu Liang took a sip and scolded, "The surname Jiang is not a good thing!" ”

Turning to the silent crowd of catchers, Xu Liang Senran said: "You all listen to me, since you have this skin on your body, you have to do things wholeheartedly, hmph, if you want to step on two boats, left and right, eat inside and outside, then you have to be careful, don't let me find out, hmph, if I find out that there are still people who don't listen to the greetings and eat inside and out, then don't blame Lao Tzu for turning his face and not recognizing people!" ”

Since Xu Liang made that fire in front of the public, the entire Jianchang County Ya knew about the discord between the two officials, Master Xu and Jiang Dianshi. The people in the county yali are the most powerful, and Xu Liang has a good relationship with Wang Zhixian, the lord of a county, because although the chiefs of the three classes and six rooms in the county yali do not say it on the surface, they secretly prefer Xu Liang more, and if there is anything to do, they have to report to the main bookkeeper to pull the relationship to show their closeness. And the history of the Jiangzhu Nanjiang Classics gradually became unattended, if there were no serious errands in each room, the ghosts would not see a single one come to the door on weekdays, and it was deserted, so Lu Chengyuan, who came with him, would occasionally go there to drink a cup of tea.

Jiang Zhunan was extremely depressed, and obediently signed and submitted Xu Liang's two reports, and since then, he has seen Xu Liang with a bitter and bitter look.

A few days later, an official document was issued from the Yamen of Jiujiang Branch. Wang Zhixian called the three Jianchang subordinate officials in for a meeting.

Xu Liang had already arrived, sitting in the right position and chatting with Wang Zhixian without a ride. After a while, Lu Xiancheng and Jiang Dianshi came together. Lu Xiancheng saw Xu Liang, squeezed out a little smile and said, "Lord Xu came quite early." ”

Xu Liang took a sip of tea and replied: "Heh, Xia Guan has been in the county room for a long time, but Lord Lu came very quickly." ”

Jiang Dianshi bowed his hand directly to Wang Zhixian in the main seat, without saying a word, and sat under Lu County with his mouth pursed.

Wang Zhixian looked at the three subordinate officials sitting in the circle and said, "The approval of Jiujiang Province has come down, you three will take a look first." He said that he handed a piece of approval to Lu Xiancheng.

Lu Xiancheng took it and looked at it, and his face was cloudy.

Jiang Dianshi sat under Lu Xiancheng, and when Lu Xiancheng looked at the approval document, Jiang Dianshi had been paying attention to Lu Chengyuan's expression, and saw that Lu Chengyuan, who had always been steady, had a different face, and was curious in his heart, so he stretched out his hand to take the approval document and take a look.

After reading the approval document, Lu Xiancheng saw that Jiang Dianshi's big hand was stretched out in front of him, and he was about to put it up, thinking about it, he glanced at Jiang Dianshi, got up and passed the approval document to Xu Liang, who was sitting opposite.

Jiang Dianshi's face was a little embarrassed, but Xu Liang was the main book of the ninth grade, and his position rank was higher than that of the official of the Dianshi, according to the ranking, this batch of Wenxian Cheng should be the main book after reading, so Jiang Dianshi couldn't have a seizure, and withdrew his hand sullenly, waiting for Xu Liang to finish reading.

Xu Liang took a look at it, and saw that it was the Jiujiang Branch Shoudao Yamen's reply to the report he had submitted, saying that in consideration of the long-term peace and stability of Jianchang, Jianchang County was allowed to set up a patrol battalion in the form of a militia group, and the food and salary were raised by itself, and it was also written in black and white that Xu Liang, the chief secretary of Jianchang, was the patrol envoy of the patrol battalion and was fully responsible for the affairs of the patrol battalion.

Xu Liang almost laughed three times when he heard this, and happily handed over the approval document to Wang Zhixian.

Jiang Dianshi's face suddenly became very ugly, and he said to Wang Zhixian: "That, county honor, the lower officials haven't seen it yet." ”

Xu Liang slapped his forehead, personally put the approval document on the edge of the table where Jiang Dianshi was sitting, and said again and again: "Ouch, Xu was happy for a while, but he actually forgot that Master Jiang didn't read it, I'm really sorry." ”

Jiang Dian Shi couldn't breathe, his face was swollen and red, and he panted and read the approval documents, and then said to Wang Zhixian: "County Zun, this batch of documents is not in line with reason, and the local counties have no right to form patrol armies independently." ”

Wang Zhixian pinched his temples and had a headache. He knows the contradiction between Xu Liang and Lu Jiang, Lu Jiang and Lu Jiang are from the capital, and he Wang Xian is not easy to offend, but Wang Xian knows that this Xu Liang is also sent down by the province, and he has a very close relationship with Huang Weizhong, who participated in politics on the left. This also shows the weight of Xu Liang in the hearts of Huang Zheng's political adults.

Wang Zhixian has been an official for so many years, and summed up an experience, that is, those who cannot be offended resolutely must not be offended, he glanced at the stunned Qingjiang Zhunan, and said slowly: "Lord Jiang, the local government and county do not have the power to form an army, but this batch of documents is about the militia group, or the Jiujiang branch guards the direct order, so there is no problem." ”

"But ......" Jiang Dianshi was about to say, Lu Xiancheng kicked him, stopped his words, and said: "The militia is only a defense force, not a regular army, since there is already a formal approval above, it should naturally be fully implemented." It's just that Jianchang County doesn't have much silver in stock, so I'm afraid that it won't be able to provide food and salary for the patrol battalion. Since Lord Xu has been appointed as the patrol envoy of this patrol battalion, and the food and salary are self-raised, I think Lord Xu must be able to think of a proper way to build the patrol camp as much as possible. ”

Lu Xiancheng said while secretly regretting it in his heart, he knew today, why bother in the first place. Alas, this is really shooting yourself in the foot. Originally, I wanted to suppress Xu Liang's expansion of the fast class, but I didn't expect this Xu Liang to be so able to toss, and the top paid so much attention to his small Jianchang master book, and when the report was submitted, he actually appointed an official who was a patrol envoy. It can be seen that the rumor that Xu Liang has a relationship with a certain adult in the political envoy is indeed true.

Lu Chengyuan regretted it, and at the same time sealed the conversation, hum, you Xu Liang want to build a patrol battalion? OK! However, don't think about taking a penny from the county office. There is no money, look at how you, the empty commander, still form a militia group.

Xu Liang heard that Lu County Cheng said so deadly, so he dispelled the idea of asking for money from the county government, and immediately took over the conversation and said: "Lord Lu said very well, the approval document is very clear, the patrol camp is self-raised, naturally there is no reason to ask the Jianchang County government to pay for the grain. ”

Xu Liang sat on the head, lowered his eyebrows and closed his eyes, and Wang Zhixian, who seemed to be about to fall asleep, said: "Rest assured, the lower officials will definitely build this patrol camp smoothly and profitably, and also enable the people of Jianchang to live and work in peace and contentment as soon as possible." ”

Hmph, you want to blackmail me with food, I Xu Liang will be strange if you get your wish, Xu Liang looked at Lu Xiancheng, who thought he had succeeded in his scheming, and said secretly, I Xu Liang will do things, as long as you Lu Chengyuan and Jiang Zhunan don't oppose it clearly, it can be done.

Wang Zhixian seemed to have just woken up from his sleep, he wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Well, Brother Xu, you can be so confident, that's good." I think this matter is settled, let's disperse. ”

As soon as Lu Chengyuan entered the county house, Jiang Zhunan followed in, and Jiang Dianshi shouted anxiously: "My lord, do we really want him to build the patrol camp in Xu Liang?" He stomped his feet and said, "At this moment, Xu Liang's frame is very big, if he is allowed to be that patrol envoy again, then his tail will not be cocked to the sky?" ”

Lu Chengyuan let out a long sigh and said helplessly: "You, don't be bored for a while." ”

Lu Chengyuan poured a cup of tea for himself and Jiang Dianshi, a trace of essence flashed in his eyes, he squinted, and said gloomily: "This official has been in the Inspectorate for almost ten years, if such an officialdom newcomer is allowed to climb on his head, wouldn't the official's more than ten years of experience be in vain?" Hmph, can the patrol battalion be built when it is said to be built? How to build without food and salary? He pointed at Jiang Zhunan and said sinisterly: "Brother Zhunan, pay attention to your side, all official announcements about the patrol battalion will not be issued, if he Xu Liang has any opinions, you will push me here, I want to see if he has the courage to dare to talk to me, this is the seventh grade of the county!" ”
