Chapter Ninety-Two: Things Are Tricky
After sending off Deputy Envoy Ge, Xu Liang went back to the backyard to chat with Feng Suqin for a while, and by the way, he also calmed the worries of the beautiful woman, and instructed A Feng Ming'er of the Security Department to go to Yunshan in the morning to bring back the bodies of the dead guards.
It was late at night, and Xu Liang planned to sleep peacefully after taking a bath.
At this time, Wang Xian, the county governor of Jianchang, slept very unsteadily. Although Wang Zhixian is not very good at political affairs, he has a very keen sense of smell. The moment he saw Uncle Tan's good head on a plate, he knew that Jianchang was going to have a storm again, to say that this Xu Liang was really ruthless, including Tan Zhicheng, nearly 100 people in the Tiger Gang were killed by Xu Liang overnight, and they didn't take it so neatly. Wang Zhixian really wants to stay out of the matter, but the matter is in Jianchang County, Xu Liang is the chief secretary of Jianchang, and he is still his subordinate, and it is difficult for him to get out.
Wang Zhixian didn't know the collusion between the two brothers of the Tan family, but he also knew the relationship between the two brothers of the Tan family and some big names in the Nankang Mansion. The cheap uncle of the Tan family, I won't say what Nankang Tong judges, just the news that he got it, Sun Yiping, the prefect of Nankang, has dry shares in the Tan family's car and horse shop in the name of the Tan family, and draws a lot of silver from it every year.
From this point of view, the LTTE is the private treasury of the Nankang prefect and the general judgment.
Now, Xu Liang has copied someone's silver vault!
Wang Zhixian couldn't sleep over and over, and Mrs. Wang couldn't sleep well because of the noise, Mrs. Wang opened her eyes and scolded: "You dead ghost can't sleep, go to the study, and make up for sleep." ā
Mrs. Wang is a famous family in the southeast, and she has helped Wang Zhixian a lot in her career, and Wang Zhixian has always been a little afraid of this Mrs. Wang.
In the past, when Mrs. Wang got angry, Wang Zhixian would smirk for a while, but she got up lightly and went to the study. But this time, Wang Zhixian got up on the ground, put on a coat on his body, and scolded: "You know a fart!" However, he stepped heavily and went to the study.
In the bedroom, Mrs. Wang was stunned for a long time.
Wang Zhixian didn't have a solid rule in his heart when he arrived in the study, and walked around the house again and again. Finally, Wang Zhixian stood still, and sighed secretly, Brother Xu Liang, it's not that my brother is not righteous, it's really that you have caused too much trouble this time, my brother can't help you, you can ask for more blessings.
Wang Zhixian returned to the desk, sat down, found a pen and paper, and began to write the chapter.
"Weichen Nankang Prefecture, Jianchang County, Magistrate Wang Xian respectfully invites Sheng'an ......"
After the chapter was written, Wang Xian read it carefully twice, changed a few words, and then confirmed that it was correct, and then copied it neatly, and then used the official seal, put it in the envelope and sealed it with vermilion lacquer, and locked it in the drawer properly.
The next day, Wang Zhixian had breakfast, and was just about to leave for the county government office, when he saw a servant come in with a cloth bag, and said: "County Zun, this morning, the lord's mansion sent someone to send a package, and the small noodles are adult." ā
Wang Zhixian listened, nodded, took the package, put it aside, and asked the official in surprise: "Is the master book here?" ā
The official said: "If you go back to the county, Lord Xu will take people to Yunshan early in the morning, and it is estimated that he will not be able to come back in the afternoon." ā
"What are you going to do in Yunshan?" Wang Zhixian said: "The matter of the Tan family is not over yet, what is he doing in Yunshan if he doesn't come back to Yalai?" ā
The official said, "You don't know the county honor? The day before yesterday, Lord Xu went to Yunshan to be besieged and killed, and nearly ten of his guards all died on Yunshan! Alas, if you want to say that the current world is really chaotic, even the dignified court officials of Lord Xu dare to assassinate them! ā
Wang Zhixian was really shocked at this time, his eyes widened, and he grabbed the hand of the official and asked urgently: "What you said is true?" Why didn't this county hear Lord Xu talk about it yesterday? ā
The official was also stunned, seeing that Wang Zhixian reacted so violently, it seemed that the county lord really didn't know about it. He nodded affirmatively and said, "It's true, this matter has spread in the ya." ā
Wang Zhixian inquired in detail again, and then sent the official out, sat on the stool with his ass, and thought of Xu Liangbu chasing and killing, and the Tan family was raided.
opened the package sent by Xu Liang again, and saw the thick pile of silver tickets inside, which made Wang Zhixian's eyes dazzle. Wang Zhixian was stunned and thought for a long time, hurriedly returned to the study, burned the music he had written last night, rewrote another copy, and sent someone to submit it.
Xu Liang personally led people to Yunshan, and the abbot of Zhenru Temple, Chang Hui, had already asked people to collect the remains of the guards and put them in the backyard of Zhenru Temple, and when Xu Liang's men arrived, they were handed over to the officers and soldiers. Through this matter, Xu Liang couldn't help but glance at the old monk.
In the evening, when I returned to Xu's Mansion and buried a few loyal guards, I saw Ge Qiao, the deputy envoy of the patrol battalion, hurriedly walking in.
"My lord, things are a little tricky." Deputy Envoy Ge said with a stern expression.
"How?" Xu Liang asked.
Seeing that there was no one on the left and right, Deputy Envoy Ge stepped forward and whispered, "The things that were sent to Lord Sun of the Nankang Prefect in the morning have been returned. ā
"Huh?" Xu Liang immediately felt that things were strict, and asked anxiously: "Lao Ge, what do you mean by Sun Yiping?" Isn't Lord Sun good at this? ā
Deputy Envoy Ge shook his head affirmatively and said disdainfully: "This prefect of our Nankang Mansion has been the prefect of Nankang for seven years, and he basically wants everything except his face. ā
Speaking of this, Deputy Envoy Ge's tone became more solemn: "Now that he has returned the things, there is only one explanation, he is very dissatisfied with what you have done, my lord!" ā
Xu Liang nodded, sighed, and said, "Last time Sun Yiping and He Zhizhi came to Jianchang, the official saw that those two had a good relationship with the Tan family, and now it seems that this is really the case." It's hard to do. ā
Ge Qiao also sighed, and the two faced each other silently for a long time before Ge Qiao said aloud: "My lord, we may be able to do some remedies right now." ā
"What measures, you say!"
Ge Qiao said: "Since Nankang Mansion is difficult to accommodate, then we can only work hard within Jianchang." ā
"You mean......" When Xu Liang heard this, he realized a little and looked at Ge Qiao.
"Exactly!" Ge Qiao said: "As long as the adults find a way to get the two people in Jianchang, presumably even if the Nankang Prefect has an opinion, without the support of Jianchang County, he can't reach it, and he may not be able to make many waves." ā
Xu Liang nodded approvingly.
This day is the day when the patrol battalion officially handed over the confiscated items of the Tan family to the Jianchang County Treasury. In order to flaunt the innocence of the patrol battalion, Xu Liang specially invited Lu Xiancheng, who was in charge of the money and grain of a county, Liu Yuan, the head of the household, and Ambassador Ku to come to Tan Zhicheng's house to witness the handover process.
The batches of items had actually been counted and stacked a long time ago, and they were neatly stacked in the Tan family's compound, waiting for the people from the county government to come and collect them. The so-called handover, in fact, is just a formality.
The handover process was over in less than half an hour.
At this time, Xu Liang mentioned yƬ to Lu County, saying that it was rare to enter the former Tan Mansion, and the small garden in it had a good view, so take this opportunity to go and see it together.
The crowd gladly allowed it. A group of people walked and chatted into the back garden, and a few soldiers from the patrol battalion came up to greet them and stuffed a red envelope into the hands of each Jianchang subordinate officer who was present.
Lu Xiancheng is the biggest official in the garden, and everyone didn't dare to accept it for a while, so they just looked at Lu Xiancheng.
Lu Xiancheng changed color and said, "Lord Xu, what do you mean by this?" ā
Xu Liang smiled: "Ha, Lord Lu, don't get me wrong, this is some hard-earned money for everyone, and adults should accept it." ā
Lu Xiancheng shook his head, and said solemnly: "Lord Xu, let people take things back, we will do things for the court, and we will have a regular salary, which is enough to support the family, and this official will never accept such unknown things." ā
As soon as he spoke, several officials present were red-faced, and the two of them quietly took out the red envelopes stuffed in their pockets. It's not for a while, and it's not for nothing.
Xu Liang laughed, stepped forward and affectionately supported Lu Xiancheng's shoulder, and said, "Lord Lu is serious!" The official has carefully inquired about the rules of various places, but for all things that are confiscated, the officials in charge will keep one percent, the local government will keep two percent, and seventy percent will be handed over to the state treasury. Lord Lu, to say something disrespectful, the court has always been lowly, and it is not easy for the big guys to live, like this kind of conventional rules, my lord, I still have to accept it. ā
When Lu Xiancheng heard this, he hesitated, and in a blink of an eye, he saw that everyone was looking at him with blank eyes, and he couldn't help but sigh, waved his hand, and said: "This official naturally knows your difficulties, and this official is by no means an unkind person, so let's take it if Lord Xu gives it to you." ā
When the officials heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief and took the red envelopes into their arms.
I only heard Lu Xiancheng say again: "As for this official, there is no need, Lord Xu, you can take it back." After speaking, Lu Xiancheng couldn't help but say and stuffed the red envelope back into Xu Liang's hand.
The faces of the officials suddenly became embarrassed. Seeing this, Xu Liang pointed his finger at Lu Xiancheng, and said with great admiration: "Lord Lu is high-spirited, this official is sighing to himself, come, my lords, please come here, this garden of Tan Mansion is really good...... Ha ha. ā
Xu Liang changed the topic, smiled and led the officials with different expressions to the depths of the garden, and the moment he turned around, his smile instantly became cold.
