It is rare to have a rain in Pingliang City, which is dripping, sometimes big and sometimes small, and the eaves water is flowing intermittently under the eaves.

"The first rain of winter!"

In the study of Xu's mansion, Xu Liang stood by the window with his hands on his back, looking at the misty rain outside the house, and sighed.

Tietou stood with Xu Liang, he didn't feel anything about the cold raindrops outside the window, touched the square head, and couldn't answer.

Xu Liang stood for a while, withdrew his gaze from the window, and felt that the wind blowing in with the rain was a little biting, so he closed the windowsill, returned to the table, sat comfortably, and asked, "Are you saying that Lord Shangshu has already intervened, and Zhang Nianyun wants to stop?" ”

Tietou said: "That's what the news sent back by Lord Lu said. ”

"Where did Zhang Nianyun find out?"

"No. 17 Changle Street."

"It's the seventeenth again!" Xu Liang sighed, and said with a firm gaze: "We withdrew our hands in front of the seventeenth, and we can't ask Zhang Nianyun to stop in front of the seventeenth." The man had been hiding behind him and making waves, and he couldn't let him stay so comfortable all the time. ”

"Young master, what should we do?" Tietou asked, and said regretfully: "It's been so long, with Han Shizi's ruthlessness, No. 17 Changle Street is now only an empty house, even if Zhang Yushi checks it, he won't gain anything." ”

Xu Liang thought for a while, smiled coldly, and ordered to Tietou: "Let someone go out and increase our confidence in Lord Zhang." Also, find a way to put something strong in House Seventeen. I'm going to let the immortal have to shed his skin. ”

Tietou nodded and asked curiously, "Young Master, what is enough?" ”

Xu Liang had an evil smile on his face. Beckoning the Iron Head to approach.

The iron-headed fox stepped forward suspiciously, and heard the thing Xu Liang whispered clearly. Immediately stunned on the spot, looking at Xu Liang in a daze.

"Do you hear me?" Xu Liang asked.

Ironhead nodded.

"Then let's go and prepare." Xu Liang said lightly.

The iron head sighed. Walking out of the study with a dull gaze, he was awakened by the cold wind and rain outside, and muttered, "The young master is really ruthless." ”

It rained lightly for three days in a row.

Now that he has received Qiao Shangshu's instructions, although Zhang Nianyun, the imperial historian of the capital, is extremely unwilling in his heart, he still understands the truth that his arms can't twist his thighs. Zhang Yushi also put down the mind of the investigation, collected the case records into a book, and put it on the shelf, naturally he didn't have the heart to pay attention to why Luo Rucai, the vanguard officer of the Liang Army, had not returned so far. After doing this, Zhang Yushi felt a lot more relaxed. There is also time to rush to the banquet where the prayers have already been cast.

In the prefect's yamen. Lu Tongzhi never came to Zhang Yushi again, and met by chance halfway, Zhang Yushi was stunned to find that Lu Tongzhi seemed to have aged a lot overnight, and he was originally only in his thirties, but he actually had white hair on his head and his eyes were gloomy, like a walking corpse.

At the moment when he staggered by, Zhang Yushi felt a rare trace of guilt.

Tonight is the Pingliang prefect Zhang Fengqi to a separate banquet for Zhang Yushi.

At the dinner table, Governor Zhang did not say a word about why Zhang Yushi suddenly suspended the investigation. Just pick some brisk topics, and by the way, wish Zhang Yushi a smooth journey back to Beijing, etc., unnutritious words.

Although from beginning to end, Governor Zhang did not mention it. The careful Zhang Yushi knew that the situation of Zhang Zhifu was not high.

At the end of the banquet, Governor Zhang personally sent Zhang Yushi out of the mansion, and the two stood on the stone steps outside the mansion. They politely said their separate words. Zhang Yushi finally sighed deeply, half explaining. Half comfortingly: "Lord Zhang, about the case of the prince." At least from the situation found by this official, Xu Liang was not involved. Now that Qiao Butang has made arrangements, the official has no choice but to obey. ”

Governor Zhang smiled far-fetched, and arched his hand: "This government understands." Master Zhang has done his best. It's just, what a pity! ”

Zhang Yushi also sighed, "It's a pity." ”

The door at the gate of the mansion looked at the two adults in disbelief, and couldn't understand what they were pity.

Zhang Yushi arched his hand towards Governor Zhang's mansion and said: "This official is here, and he has not been able to complete the things that Lord Cao confessed to the Imperial History of Zuodu, and this official will ask Lord Cao for his guilt after returning to Beijing." ”

Governor Zhang said: "If this is the case, Lord Zhang doesn't have to blame himself, and he won't blame the teacher if he wants to come." ”

Zhang Yushi nodded, waved goodbye, got on the official sedan chair, and went back to the prefect's yamen. A black sedan chair swayed, turning two sparsely populated streets, Zhang Yushi in the sedan chair was shaken drunk, dozed off in a daze, and suddenly the sedan chair body was stunned, and the guards outside the sedan chair shouted: "What person?!" ”

Zhang Yushi suddenly sobered up. He has been an official for decades, and has heard countless stories of bloody sedan chairs in front of the sedan car late at night, and in a blink of an eye, he thought of countless possibilities, cold sweat was dripping on his back, and his hands couldn't help but grasp the edge of the sedan chair, nervously listening to the movement outside the sedan chair.

"My lord, help!" Someone shouted outside the car.

When Zhang Yushi heard this, he relaxed nervously a little, as long as it was not the worst possibility, he was relieved. Zhang Yushi calmed down his pounding heart, lifted the sedan curtain, and saw at a glance a famous man kneeling seven or eight steps away in front of the sedan chair, and he couldn't see his real appearance in the night, but he saw that his hair was scattered, and a tattered cotton jacket on his body was tattered, and there were traces of whipping crisscrossed on it, and a desperate face was also scarred and bloodstained.

"Who are you?" Zhang Yushi asked majestically.

The man climbed a few steps to the front of the sedan chair with his hands and feet, kowtowed to Zhang Yushi, and shouted, "Lord Qincha save me!" Someone is trying to hurt me! ”

Zhang Yushi's pupils shrank, and he suddenly noticed several black shadows flickering on the corner of the street, and the long knife in the black shadow's hand shone with cold light.

Zhang Yushi looked into the distance in disbelief, and the guards outside the sedan chair stepped forward to report: "My lord, those men in black should want to hunt down this man, and now they have gone away." ”

Zhang Yushi nodded, from this point of view, those black-clothed people should have recognized their identity as the minister of the Qincha, and they did not dare to commit murder in front of the Qincha.

"Chincha-sama, save me!" The man who was kneeling on the ground cried out in panic again.

Zhang Yushi asked in a deep voice: "Who are you, and why are those people chasing and killing you?" ”

The man knocked his head repeatedly, and then he raised his head and begged: "Hu Xiaoyong, the lowly Andong Zhongwei Baihu, has just escaped from the dungeon of Xufu, and Pingliang knows that Xu Liang wants to kill me!" ”

Zhang Yushi was shocked, stopped Hu Xiaoyong, turned his head and shouted at the guards: "Take him and go home!" ”

The black sedan chair was lifted again, and hurriedly walked in the direction of the prefect's yamen, and behind the sedan chair, two guards followed closely with Hu Xiaoyong, who had just been released from the dungeon of Xufu.

A sedan chair of several people entered the palace from the side door of the prefect's yamen, Zhang Yushi found a secluded small room, settled Hu Xiaoyong, and ordered someone to guard the small room tightly, then stood in front of Hu Xiaoyong, looked at it for a while, and asked: "Do you know the identity of this official?" ”

Hu Xiaoyong nodded vigorously, "In the entire Pingliang City, only Lord Qincha can save me, and the humble position naturally recognizes you." ”

"You said Xu Liang was going to kill you, why?"

Hu Xiaoyong looked resentful, and said angrily: "Lord Qincha, I want to expose to you, my lordship, that Pingliang Tongzhi Xu Liang and Anton Zhongwei Commander Tongzhi Huang Ziren colluded with each other and plotted to rebel. ”

"Huh?" Zhang Yushi was shocked, but his face was impassive, and he sneered: "Hugh is talking nonsense, framing the court officials is a capital crime!" ”

Hu Xiaoyong said miserably: "The lowly position knows that Lord Qincha will not believe it, but the lowly position has conclusive evidence!" ”

"What evidence?" Zhang Yushi leaned forward sharply, stared at Hu Xiaoyong and asked.

"Just the day before the accident of the prince-in-law, Anton Zhongwei seized the control of the west city gate, hehe, for two days in a row, at least more than 50 truckloads of weapons were transported from Pingliang City." Hu Xiaoyong sneered: "Others don't know what's going on, but it's clear about the lowliness!" Lord Qincha, Xu Liang and Huang Ziren were to use these weapons to secretly train an army to commit unrighteous acts. ”

Zhang Yushi was stunned for a long time, and his heart was shocked. Really! Xu Liang really has a problem! Then, Zhang Yushi came to his senses again, looked at Hu Xiaoyong and sneered, and said, "What nonsense!" The four gates of Pingliang City have always been controlled by Liang Jun, Xu Liang wants to transport some things out of the city, and he can do it at any time, so why pretend to be the hand of Anton Zhongwei? ”

When Hu Xiaoyong heard this, a smug smile appeared on his dirty face, and he said: "Lord Qincha doesn't know that although the Pingliang guerrilla camp belongs to the Liang army, it is not full of people that Xu Liang can trust. And Anton Zhongwei's commander and Tongzhi Huang Ziren's guards are the cronies who followed Xu Huang and the others all the way from Jianchang, this kind of thing, if it is left to others, Xu Liang and Huang Ziren will not rest assured.
