Chapter 364: A fire broke out in the middle of the night
When have you ever read the camaraderie of your colleagues again? Haven't you impeached me secretly enough?
Xu Liang sneered in his heart and said in a deep voice: "The matter of Dongdaying is imperative!" Moreover, the land for the construction of Dongdaying could be purchased by Liang Jun at market price. He turned to look at Lu Tongzhi and said, "Lord Lu, you go back and estimate the price of that piece of land and report it to me." ”
"Cough, cough," although Lu Tongzhi was also a Tongzhi, he had already stood on Xu Liang's side, coughed lightly, and said: "Futai, Lord Xu, you don't have to be angry, in fact, when choosing that land, Xiaguan and Lord Huang deliberately chose those barren mountainous lands, which can't grow any crops and aren't worth much." Isn't it, Lord Huang? ”
"Not bad." Zodiac Zhou looked at the nose and nose, and the nose looked at the heart, like an old monk in a fixed state, and said the word good, and then shut up.
"It's not about the money!" Governor Zhang slammed the coffee table in front of him with a bang, almost roaring: "There are no rules, there is no circle!" I have a court, a saint, and a Ming law! Everything must be handled with procedures! Lord Xu, how can you say that this official is still the prefect of Pingliang, without the consent of this official, the construction of Dongdaying is a violation, and there is no law! ”
Xu Liang looked at the Pingliang prefect, and saw that he was in a hurry to oppose the Dongdaying, and muttered in his heart, the construction of the Dongdaying actually started two years ago in Chongzhen, and at that time, the Zhang's prefect still opened one eye and closed one eye, and he never expressed his opposition in person. Now that Xu Liang has just returned from the front line, in the middle of the night, Governor Zhang ran to Xu's mansion to solemnly reiterate his position! What does this bastard want to do?
Xu Liang sank his face and said lightly: "The construction of Dongdaying cannot be stopped, if Governor Zhang feels that some of the procedures are not complete. I bothered Lord Huang to make up for it quickly. ”
"The subordinate officer takes the order." Zodiacal thoughtfulness.
When Governor Zhang heard this, he was so angry that he had to open his hair. trembling his fingers, he pointed at Xu Liang. Lu Yifa and Huang Dao shouted angrily: "You, you! You have no king's law, and you despise the emperor! As the prefect of Pingliang, this mansion can't sit idly by! The three of you, just wait to accept the impeachment of this officer! ”
After Zhang Zhifu finished speaking, he got up, stepped heavily on his steps, and left.
Xu Liang and Lu Yifa. Huang Dao sat in the living room and looked at each other for a long time, Xu Liang frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Lu Yifa and Huang Daozhou both shook their heads and smiled bitterly.
Xu Liang snorted lightly and scolded: "Neurotic! Be all abroad! ”
After Lu and Huang left, Xu Liang sat quietly for a while, but he still didn't figure out what the intention of Zhang Zhifu was to make this move, so he could only temporarily attribute it to Zhang Zhifu's real neuropathy.
Xu Liang originally rushed for a few days in a row, and then passed through the inexplicable disturbance of Zhang Fengqi, the prefect of Pingliang. Feeling tired, he rested early that night in the house of the eldest lady Feng Suqin.
In the confusion of the night, Xu Liang seemed to have returned to the tiger's head pass, holding the rope tightly with both hands. Struggled to climb up, the sound of flowing arrows around him continued to sound, and suddenly Xing Zhongshan on the city tower screamed. Turning his head, he saw black dots composed of more than a dozen arrows whistling from far and near. Cover Xu Liang!
Xu Liang's eyes darkened, and when he opened his eyes again. I saw Dai Yingying's back full of arrows and fell to the city!
No! Xu Liang opened his eyes suddenly, and when he raised his eyes, he saw a pale pink mosquito net above his head. An oil lamp was still burning on the round table outside the tent. Xu Liang sat up and looked at the oil lamp on the table through the curtain in a daze.
Feng Suqin also woke up at some point, she sat up, looked at Xu Liang, and asked worriedly, "What's wrong?" ”
Xu Liang shook his head, "It's okay, I had a nightmare." ”
Feng Suqin was about to get up, and said naturally: "The concubine will pour you a glass of water." ”
Xu Liang stopped her and chuckled, "Don't get up, it's cold outside." ”
Feng Suqin said, "Then Xianggong also lie down, you are wearing such a thin body, sit and beware of catching a cold." ”
Xu Liang lay back in the quilt as he said, and stretched out an arm to use Feng Suqin as a pillow.
Feng Suqin leaned closer into Xu Liang's arms, changed to a more comfortable position, and said softly: "Xianggong, tell me about it." ”
"Say what?"
"What is the warbler...... Dead? Feng Suqin asked hesitantly.
Xu Liang looked at the pale pink mosquito net, was silent for a while, and sighed: "That's really a sad story......
Xu Liang started from entering Hanzhong Mansion and recounted the events before and after Dai Yingying's accident.
Feng Suqin listened quietly, and was so moved that she cried at the end.
"The warbler is amazing!" She said.
Xu Liang was speechless, hugged her tighter, and the two lay quietly for a while. Suddenly, I heard a housekeeper outside holding a lantern, knocking on the door, and whispering, "Master, madam? Something went wrong. ”
Xu Liang said: "What's the matter?" I've slept. ”
The family Ding explained: "The arrester of Pingliang Mansion came to the house to report that there was a fire in the backyard of the prefect's yamen!" ”
Xu Liang was completely awake immediately! He hurriedly put on his clothes, opened the door, and asked the two housekeepers, "Say it again, where is the fire?" ”
Jia Ding said: "There is a fire in the backyard of the prefect's yamen!" ”
When Xu Liang heard this, he raised his feet and walked out, walked to the front yard, and Tietou also rushed over with a few Tsing Yi guards on duty. Tietou pointed in the direction of the prefect's yamen and said, "Young master, the fire in the prefect's yamen is quite big!" Look at the day! ”
Xu Liang raised his head and looked at the sky in the direction of the prefect's yamen, and sure enough, it was bright there, and the firelight accompanied by black smoke went straight to the sky.
"Let's go, let's see!" Xu Liang said in a deep voice.
When the group approached the prefect's yamen, the water dragon team of the Pingliang prefect's yamen had already arrived, and was sprinkling water to fight the fire, and the soldiers of the city defense battalion were on guard on both sides of the street to prevent irrelevant people from approaching.
The prefect's yamen is a big outer gate, Lu Yifa and Huang Daozhou have already arrived, and several miscellaneous officials of the prefect's yamen are around the two and have a lot of discussions.
I don't know who muttered: "Lord Xu has arrived!"
The officials quickly surrounded Xu Liang.
Some officials asked, "Lord Xu, what's going on?" In the middle of the night, why did the government catch fire? ”
"Yes, the fire is so big, don't burn people!"
Xu Liang listened, and immediately felt funny, he also rushed from home after receiving the fire, how could he know why there was such a big fire in the well-behaved prefect's yamen?
Xu Liang saw that all the officials were gathered outside the door, and it was not a matter of discussion, so he said loudly: "Don't surround here, there is a water dragon team helping to extinguish the fire, I believe it will be extinguished soon." Lord Lu, Lord Huang went in with the official to take a look, and the others were all scattered! ”
Xu Liang spoke, all the officials agreed in unison, and several miscellaneous officials bowed goodbye to Xu Liang. Xu Liang took Lu Yifa and Huang Daozhou into the prefect's yamen and came to the entrance of the backyard.
At this time, the fire in the backyard has been controlled, and most of the flames have been extinguished, but the houses in the backyard are built next to each other, built very densely, and they are all wooden structures, which are very easy to catch fire, and after the fire, all the houses have the possibility of collapsing at any time.
Among the many firefighting officials, Pingliang Catcher Zhang Zhutou was particularly excited, pouring buckets of water into the burning house, which was like madness.
Xu Liang looked at him in surprise, and when the official next to him saw Xu Liang and the other three adults arriving, he stepped forward and reported in a low voice: "My lord, this house is occupied by the family of Lord Futai, and two people who have been burned so much that they can't recognize their appearance have been found. Moreover, the Lord of Futai has not yet been found, and looking at Zhang Zhutou's anxious appearance, I am afraid that it will be more auspicious than lucky. ”
Xu Liang and the other three looked at each other, and they all saw horror in their eyes.
The backyard of the prefect's yamen has always been where Zhang Fengqi, the prefect of Pingliang, and his family live, and a fire suddenly broke out in the middle of the night, and most of the prefects were sleeping soundly, thinking about it, Xu Liang couldn't help but be surprised and happy.
Zhang Fengqi, don't be burned alive, right?!
Despite such schadenfreude in his heart, Xu Liang could never show it at this time. Xu Liang took two steps forward in fright, and shouted at the people of the water dragon team and the officials: "Don't stand still, put out the fire!" Futai-sama is still inside! Quickly put out the fire and take a look, beware that the Lord of Futai will become a roast suckling pig when it is late! ”
When the water dragon team and the officials heard this, they hurriedly accelerated the speed of extinguishing the fire.
Xu Liang stood, put his hands behind his back, and watched with interest, without the slightest hint of urgency.
Pingliang Governor Huang Daozhou watched the meeting, suddenly his face changed, and he quietly approached Xu Liang's side, and said softly: "My lord, this is strange." ”
"It's weird!" Xu Liang grinned.
Huang Daozhou glanced at Xu Liang, and woke up again: "The prefect's yamen has been built for more than 200 years, and there are very few fires, this lord, you just came back yesterday, and a fire suddenly broke out in the backyard of the prefect's office, and it burned people to death, and the life and death of the prefect Zhang are uncertain......
Xu Liang's smile suddenly froze on his face. (To be continued......)
