Chapter 621: The official doesn't agree
When the masters of the East Factory were tearing each other apart, the Father-in-law Yu, the governor of the East Factory, opened his mouth wide and looked at him in a daze, and the two bypass Dongchang fans around him trembled with fright.
Xu Liang watched with interest.
Years of life and death brothers, life-defying friendships, in front of their own lives, are all! Faced with Xu Liang's ghostly murderous methods, the master of Dongchang was frightened, and in order to seek a glimmer of life, he resolutely raised the butcher knife to his robe.
They were red-eyed, and the fighting figures rolled up the dead branches and leaves on the ground, and they raised them one after another. Screams and muffled snorts, mixed with angry roars, filled Xu Liang's ears.
Xu Liang looked at it coldly, and after a while, there were already three Dongchang masters lying on the ground, but the rest of the people had already killed the red eyes, and they couldn't take care of Xu Liang's three places, and they were still desperately tearing and killing.
Yu Gonggong, the governor of Dongchang Factory, shouted hoarsely: "Stop, stop!" Enough, enough people! ”
Father-in-law Yu shouted several times in succession, and finally woke up two or three Dongchang masters, and the three masters jumped out of the melee, looking at the three Dongchang masters who fell to the ground, panting and pale.
Someone stopped, and the remaining Dongchang masters naturally scattered, all with minor or serious injuries, staring at the opponents who had done it with them viciously with blood-red eyes.
Grandpa Yu sighed deeply in his heart, and then smiled at Xu Liang and said, "Lord Xu, look? ”
Xu Liang smiled and applauded, "Father-in-law, your Dongchang is really ruthless, and you are especially fierce when you move on your own people, this official has opened his eyes today!" Then his tone suddenly turned extremely cold,
"Now that you've all stopped. Then it's my turn! After that, Xu Liang's figure flashed. It's gone. Immediately, several surviving Dongchang masters let out several angry roars one after another.
When Xu Liang stopped again, Father-in-law Yu was shocked to see that Fang Cai was still resting and panting with the Pu knife, and the masters of the East Factory had fallen down one after another. Their gaze was shocked and unwilling!
However, these people had already tore each other apart for a while, and they had some light or serious injuries on their bodies, and in the face of Xu Liang's violent attack, even if they resisted with all their might, it was useless, there were wounds on their necks or in their hearts, black blood gushed out, and these masters fell down one after another, their eyes widened. Die with a grievance or everlasting regret.
Father-in-law Yu's hands and feet were cold, and he couldn't say a word when he looked at Xu Liang.
"You, you didn't even think about letting these people go, did you?" At this time, even if Father-in-law Yu was scared stupid again, he had already understood that Xu Liang had never thought of letting these people go from the beginning.
Xu Liang snapped his fingers, looked at Grandpa Yu approvingly, and said, "Grandpa Yu, you are finally not stupid!" These men killed the guards of their own officials. disturbed the tranquility of my wife, how can this official spare them! I tricked them into killing each other, just to prevent them from jumping off the wall and running away! ”
Father-in-law Yu spread his hands with a dejected expression and said, "Say so." Lord Xu, you won't let me go? He simply threw the weapon in his hand on the grass like garbage, stretched his neck and said, "Ben Du thinks that he is definitely not your opponent of Lord Xu, and you want to take Ben Du's life." Just take it! ”
Xu Liang looked at Father-in-law Yu in surprise, shook his head with a chuckle, and said, "Father-in-law is the supervisor of Dongchang. How could this official be willing to kill you! ”
Father-in-law Yu was stunned for a moment, and the desire to survive rekindled in his eyes. shouted happily: "So, Lord Xu is willing to spare our family's life?" ”
Xu Liang smiled slightly and said, "Father-in-law Yu, this official suddenly discovered that it is far more useful for father-in-law to be alive than dead!" As long as you promise the official one thing, the official can let you go down the mountain immediately! ”
Father-in-law Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly knelt down and took two steps forward, and shouted flatteringly: "Lord Xu, please speak!" ”
Xu Liang just wanted to open his mouth, but suddenly closed it again, then looked at Father-in-law Yu and said, "Father-in-law, can't you say that you don't think that the fewer people who know about our next conversation, the better?" ”
"Huh?" Father-in-law Yu was stunned at first, and then followed Xu Liang's gaze to see two ordinary Dongchang fans behind him.
The two fans felt the killing intent in the eyes of Grandpa Yu, and they were so frightened that they hurriedly arched their hands and said, "The Governor spares his life......"
Before he finished speaking, he saw Father-in-law Yu pick up a knife and slash at the two ordinary Dongchang fans!
"Governor!" The two ordinary Dongchang fans screamed in despair, and they wanted to be killed by Father-in-law Yu! Compared with ordinary Dongchang fans, Yu Gonggong's kung fu, as the factory supervisor, is still quite good.
Seeing Father-in-law Yu pull out the Pu knife from the chest of a fallen Dongchang fan with a hideous face, Xu Liang exclaimed: "The factory governor is so skilled!" ”
Father-in-law Yu's face turned dark, but he didn't dare to attack, and said with a smile: "Lord Xu praised it falsely!" Then he looked at Xu Liang blankly.
Xu Liang hooked his hands and chuckled: "Throw the knife away, come over with your ears!" ”
Father-in-law Yu didn't have a temper at all, and asked hesitantly and worriedly, "Lord Xu won't kill me, right?" ”
Xu Liang snorted coldly: "This official wants to kill you, can you escape?" ”
Yu Gonggong thought about it, the top ten masters of Dongchang were all played to death by Xu Liang, even if he held the knife, he was never Xu Liang's opponent, so he threw the Pu knife resignedly, and approached Xu Liang with a cower.
Xu Liang whispered to Father-in-law Yu for a while, and when he heard Father-in-law Yu, he breathed lightly and nodded constantly.
A day later, the Governor of Dongchang Factory, Yu Gonggong, hurriedly left the Guyuan Trilateral Governor's Mansion with the few remaining Dongchang Fanzi, and hurried back to the capital.
Yang He, the governor of the three sides, asked the reason, but Gonggong Yu said that he didn't understand.
Father-in-law Yu took more than a dozen Dongchang fans to change horses and not people, hurried for a few days and nights, and finally returned to the capital tired. On the second day of entering the city, Emperor Chongzhen hurriedly summoned him into the Yangxin Hall for questioning.
When Emperor Chongzhen saw Gonggong Yu of Dongchang, he scolded him with a stinking face: "What are you doing with a dog slave?" I can't even kill Xu Liang and come back! ”
When Father-in-law Yu heard this, he had palpitations on his face, and fell at Chongzhen's feet, full of shame, crying bitterly: "The old slave deserves to die." The old slave has the emperor's trust, and the old slave is guilty of death! ”
Emperor Chongzhen looked at Gonggong Yu angrily. Flicked his sleeves and scolded: "I handed over the East Investigation Factory to you, but you can't even handle a Xu Liang." What is the use of me keeping you! ”
"Your Majesty!" Father-in-law Yu shouted loudly, staring at the ground with teary eyes and reporting: "It's not that the old slave doesn't work hard to do errands, it's really that Xu Liang's side is heavily guarded, and the old slave sent out the top ten masters who have been trained by the East Detective Factory for many years, but they all went and didn't return...... Your Majesty, Xu Liang is protected by a top master, and it is not easy to kill him! ”
Emperor Chongzhen was stunned, and then roared: "Bastard! Is Xu Liang so difficult to deal with? Don't even the top ten masters use it! ”
Gonggong Yu looked up at Emperor Chongzhen and replied weakly: "Your Majesty." The old slave is incompetent! However, the master of Jinyi Wei is like a cloud, and the old slave believes that Luo Dudu should be able to kill Xu Liang when he comes out! ”
At that time, the commander of Jinyiwei made Luo Yangxing stand on the side of the Yangxin Hall and listen to the holy teachings, listening to what Yu Gonggong said, he led a disaster to Jinyiwei's head, and couldn't help but be so angry that his face turned blue, and he immediately sneered coldly: "The factory superintendent is really good at laughing!" The top ten masters carefully cultivated by the East Investigation Factory have all come out, and there is no return! We don't have any martial arts masters in Jinyiwei! ”
"Luo Dudu is humble!" Grandpa Yu smiled coldly.
Chongzhen was impatient when he heard this, shook his hand and scolded: "Okay! You two don't have to argue! Since Xu Liang has a master by his side to protect him, it seems that the assassination will not work. Yu Huatian. Don't kneel and get up and talk. ”
Yu Huatian is the name of Yu Gonggong, the governor of Dongchang Factory, but except for the emperor, no one dares to call Yu Gonggong's full name in person! Grandpa Yu stood up gratefully. After thinking about it, he looked at Emperor Chongzhen and carefully suggested: "Your Majesty, the assassination is not possible." Now it is only before Xu Liang's power has not expanded. Mobilize heavy troops from the court to suppress Xu Liang! ”
Chongzhen slammed on Gonggong Yu's head with a violent shudder. Angrily scolded: "You are a pig brain!" If I can mobilize a large army, why bother with this! ”
"If it doesn't work, transfer the Beijing camp to the horse. I will definitely be able to calm down ...... in one fell swoop," Yu Gonggong still did not give up.
Chongzhen kicked it over, kicking Yu Gonggong back three or four steps in a row.
"You old dog still thinks the court is embarrassed enough! Wang Pu, that idiot, was stripped of his weapons and equipment by Xu Liang and rushed back, don't you know?! ”
"What then?" Gonggong Yu was kicked by Emperor Chongzhen, and there was a shoe print printed on his official robe, but he was not embarrassed at all, he stepped forward with a smiling face and asked worriedly, and then took advantage of Chongzhen's inattention, and proudly squeezed his eyes at the Jinyi Governor on the side!
Luo Dudu only saw that his blood was surging! cursed in his heart: Yu Huatian, a eunuch, was relying on his identity as a slave of the Son of Heaven again, and openly betrayed himself in front of the emperor! hated Luo Dudu's dignified seven-foot man, but he couldn't do it to such a disgusting extent as Father-in-law Yu.
Chongzhen listened, walked back to the dragon chair, sat down, then rubbed his eyebrows, and sighed abruptly: "Now it seems that there is only hope for Yang He, the governor of the three sides." ”
Yang He, the governor of the three sides, who had high hopes for Emperor Chongzhen, was stunned as he looked at a secret decree in his hand. The secret decree had been received three days earlier, and after inspection, Governor Yang was able to confirm that it was indeed written by Emperor Chongzhen.
The content of the secret decree is very simple: Emperor Chongzhen, the cabinet, and the Ministry of Officials re-selected a group of officials to come to Shaanxi to fill the vacancies. Among them, there are Shaanxi governors commanding envoys, political envoys, Shaanxi political envoys, senators, Yuanma Temple, salt transport envoys, etc., as well as the prefects of Hanzhong and Gongchang. At the end of the secret decree is a long list.
Emperor Chongzhen's meaning was very simple, the court would never allow Xu Liang to cover the sky in Shaanxi, so he decided to mix sand with Shaanxi officialdom, pinch the economic lifeline of Shaanxi, and finally overhead Xu Liang, the governor of Shaanxi. What Yang He, the governor of the three sides, had to do was to arrange for these selected officials to take office smoothly and take over the affairs of the government as the governor of the three sides.
The task is simple, but the implementation is very difficult. Governor Yang knew that the political envoys of Shaanxi Province commanded the envoys, Gongchang, and the prefects of Hanzhong, and they had already been replaced by Xu Liang's cronies in the name of temporary replacement. Now the court is sending new officials down to take over these positions, which is obviously not in line with Xu Liang's wishes. With Xu Liangtian's temper that he is not afraid of, how can he give up!
Governor Yang's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, he really felt that he was so tired, physically and mentally exhausted! It has been more than half a month since Wang Pu, the chief soldier of the Beijing battalion, and Yu Gonggong, the superintendent of the Dongchang factory, left Guyuan.
In the past half a month, Governor Yang has also decided to put aside the idea of getting rid of Xu Liang for the time being, and deal with the increasingly rampant Northwest People's Army first. Then every time a military meeting was called, the two governors under him, except for Hong Chengchou, the governor of Yansui, who was able to arrive on time, Xu Liang, the governor of Shaanxi, did not respond to his meeting notice at all. Governor Yang did whatever he liked, anyway, Xu Liang didn't see it, and still went his own way, vigorously implementing his new tax law and trade with Turpan!
As for the generals in charge of the army under him, Wan Wenshan and Luo Rucai, the two direct cronies, needless to say, even the Qingyang guerrilla He Renlong and the Hanzhong garrison He Huchen, the two generals of the court and the court, ignored Governor Yang's orders.
As for the daily supply of the trilateral governor's palace, the yamen of the Pingliang prefect did not provide any food at all, so that the dignified trilateral governor's palace had to transfer grain from other places. If it weren't for the fact that Governor Yang had an obedient Yansui Governor Hong Chengchou, I was afraid that there would be a famine in the Trilateral Governor's Palace!
It is no exaggeration to say that without the support of Governor Xu Liang of Shaanxi, the military orders of Yang He, the governor of the three sides, basically could not leave Guyuan City!
Governor Yang was very sad and troubled, because he had just received a lot of pacification silver from the Governor's Mansion those years ago, and the people's army that had decided to surrender to the court began to move again, and two groups of leaders of the people's army sent envoys to the Trilateral Governor's Palace, wanting to ask Governor Yang to allocate some more pacification silver, so that these people could continue to surrender to the court!
Governor Yang hated people so much that he wanted to beat people! The Governor's Mansion itself is almost out of the pot, where is the money to be distributed to those surrendered people's army!
On the sixth day of the fifth month of the fourth year of Chongzhen, the weather was sunny, and there was no cloud over Guyuan City.
Yang He, the governor of the three sides, took all the guards early in the morning, drove the carriage out of Guyuan City, and rushed to the east.
He's going to pick people up! According to the letter given by the ministry, the first batch of officials to take up their posts in Shaanxi Province had already entered the territory of Pingliang Mansion and were rushing in the direction of Guyuan City.
There were 40,000 Liang troops stationed in Pingliang City, and Governor Yang was very worried about the safety of these selected officials, so he decided to go out of the city to pick them up first.
The carriage was galloping on the official road, and Governor Yang was sitting in the carriage, but he was recalling a name: Su Zaoji, Emperor Chongzhen selected the new political envoy of Shaanxi.
The carriage slowly stopped, and the accompanying guards fell silent. Governor Yang felt something was wrong, so he lifted the curtain and looked out, and saw that Xu Liang and a team of Tsing Yi guards were in the middle of the official road ahead.
Yang He's heart jumped sharply, and he shouted inwardly: "Xu Liang, what do you want to do when you stop Bendu?!" ”
Xu Liang looked at Governor Yang for a long time, untied a black cloth bag from his horse, and threw it under Governor Yang's carriage.
Governor Yang's guards picked up the cloth bag at Governor Yang's signal, carefully dismantled it, and then screamed, his hands shook, and a bloody human head rolled down, rolling on the official road a few times, sticky with dust.
Governor Yang's face suddenly changed, and he felt faintly uneasy, looked at Xu Liang, and asked, "What is this?!" ”
Xu Liang lightly pointed to the human head that could no longer see clearly, and said: "This person's name is Su Zaoji, it is found to be an illegal businessman, he was found by the Patrol Division, and he was killed on the spot!" ”
"Su ...... Su Zaoji? Governor Yang was shocked, and looked at Xu Liang in shock and anger: "You, you killed Su Zaoji?!" ”
Xu Liang sneered and said indifferently: "For unscrupulous businessmen, this official has never been soft!" Well, the governor has a wide range of people, so please explain to the outside trading houses on behalf of the official, don't send illegal businessmen to Shaanxi again, they want to do business in Shaanxi, but the official will not agree!
