Xu Liang's pupils shrank: "Hong Chengchou? ”

A figure that stayed in the Guyuan Governor's Mansion all day long, waving calligraphy appeared in Xu Liang's mind. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Because Hong Chengchou has been very disciplined recently, he is so calm that Xu Liang is about to forget such a person. Now that he heard Sun Ge Lao mention Hong Chengchou again, Xu Liang understood that he was most likely deceived by Hong Chengchou's deferential appearance. Hong Chengchou has been in obscurity for the past two years, and he is obviously unwilling to be buried, and his contact with the adults in the court has never been broken.

Sun Chengzong saw Xu Liang frowning, so he explained casually: "Hong Chengchou was originally the governor of the three sides, and it is also extremely suitable for him to serve as the governor of Shaanxi. ”

Xu Liang's face was a little ugly: "Shaanxi is where my Xu Liang's foundation is, for the sake of a mere zodiac week, the court wants me Xu Liang to be transferred out of Shaanxi and give up the good foundation of Shaanxi?" The emperor really had a good calculation. ”

Sun Ge Lao looked at Xu Liang deeply, his sharp eyes seemed to be able to see through Xu Liang's inner thoughts, Sun Ge Lao's tone was relaxed, "Of course, this is just a unilateral condition of the court, Xu Liang, if you don't agree, the court will not do anything to you for the time being." It's just that the zodiac Zhou can be miserable. You still have one night to think about it, tomorrow morning, Huang Daozhou will be escorted to the execution ground. Well, Xu Liang, you don't have the illusion of forcibly rescuing Huang Daozhou. Today's Dongchang Yamen is more tightly defended than the Imperial Palace. ”

Xu Liang was silent.

Elder Xu Ge sighed lightly, and said to Xu Liang with emotion: "Xu Liang, Huang Daozhou has followed you for so many years, and there is no merit and hard work?" Besides, what happened to him today is more or less due to you. You only need to change places to be the governor to save the lives of the Zodiac Zhou family! In exchange for the brave loyalty of the Zodiac Week! Do you have to hesitate to such conditions? ”

Xu Liang snorted lightly: "Elder Xu Ge doesn't have to use words to provoke me. What to do, I Xu Liang is not the turn of two to teach. ”

Xu Liang secretly calculated the gains and losses of going to Liaodong as an official. It is true that Xu Liang was very unwilling to give up the situation he had worked so hard in Shaanxi to come to the bitter cold land of Liaodong and do things under Sun Chengzong's nose. However, if he didn't agree, according to the conclusive words of the two pavilion elders, Cao Huachun of Dongchang was most likely ready to forcibly rush into the yamen of Dongchang and take away Huang Daozhou's plan to no longer be implemented.

However, the Zodiac Week must be saved. Putting aside the importance of Huang Daozhou to himself, just talking about Huang Daozhou as his subordinate, if Xu Liang ignores the life and death of his subordinates, it will probably chill the hearts of many people in the eyes of other followers. Uncle Li said that when people's hearts are scattered, it will be difficult to lead the team.

Xu Liang has been developing his own forces in these places, and his subordinates have also gathered a group of elite generals such as Huang Daozhou, Wang Qinian, Cao Bianjiao, Wan Wenshan, Luo Rucai, He Huchen, He Renlong, etc. However, these people are still far from their intended goals, and they must not chill the hearts of their subordinates at such a time.

Xu Liang pondered, touching his forehead with his hand, sometimes frowning, sometimes stretching. After a long while, Xu Liang raised his head to meet the expectant eyes of Xu Ge Lao and Sun Ge Lao, Xu Liang said decisively: "It's okay to ask this official to leave Shaanxi and serve as the governor of Liaodong." However, the court had to agree to two conditions. ”

"You say." Xu Ge beckoned.

Xu Liang raised a finger and said, "First, Huang Daozhou cannot be reduced to a commoner. If you still retain your official position, you can be demoted. Of course, it is no longer suitable for him to stay in Jingshi, and I will take him to Liaodong. ”

Elder Xu Ge didn't think much about it, and promised to come down: "This official can be in charge, Huang Daozhou is demoted to an official from the ninth grade, and he can temporarily leave the official position and work in the yamen of the governor of Liaodong." ”

"From the ninth grade?" Xu Liang glanced at Elder Xu Ge with disdain, "Elder Ge is really generous. However, thinking that as long as Huang Daozhou retained his official position, it was not up to him to decide what his status would be in the yamen of the governor of Liaodong, so he didn't care about this kind of thing.

"Second," Xu Liang said, "this official has put too much effort into Shaanxi, and if this official is transferred out of Shaanxi, then this official will send 50,000 soldiers and horses from Shaanxi to follow me into Liaodong." ”

"It can't be!" Elder Xu Ge and Elder Sun Ge shouted in unison. The corners of Sun Chengzong's mouth twitched, and he blew his beard at Xu Liang and glared: "The Shaanxi army is the main force to deter the northwest in the future, and it must not be mobilized!" ”

How could Sun Chengzong agree to such a thing! went to great lengths to get Xu Liang away from Shaanxi, but he took a fancy to the 100,000 soldiers and horses in Shaanxi. If Xu Liang is allowed to transfer 50,000 soldiers and horses from it, what will be left for the court? If this was done, wouldn't the goal that Sun Chengzong had promised the emperor in the Palace of Cultivating Hearts to weaken Xu Liang's power be empty of joy?

Xu Liang's people got Liaodong, put it under the care of Sun Chengzong and more than 100,000 Liaodong troops, and then left Xu Liang's descendants in the far northwest, and the trilateral governor Hong Chengchou slowly devoured and divided, which was the purpose of Sun Chengzong and the emperor.

Xu Liang also expected that it would be impossible for the court to agree to this proposal, so he pretended to be very angry and argued with Sun Ge Lao for a while, and when he saw that Sun Ge Lao was biting his tongue and not letting go, he turned his words, sighed lightly, and compromised: "Since the court does not allow me to transfer troops from Shaanxi, then I ask to bring the men and horses of the general soldier of Tongzhou to Liaodong!" Hmph, Liaodong is in chaos, if there is no army under this official that can be trusted, how can I feel at ease? ”

"This ......" Xu Liang's proposal also exceeded the expectations of the two elders. Sun Chengzong had the heart to refuse, and suddenly saw Xu Liang shouting angrily: "If the emperor can't agree to this, then I will continue to be my governor of Shaanxi!" As for the life and death of Huang Daozhou, this official can't take care of it. ”

"Ugh!"

Xu Liang said that he had said this, the two pavilion elders glanced at each other, exchanging glances, Xu Ge Lao nodded slightly, Sun Ge Lao thought that there were less than 30,000 men under Dai Feng, the general soldier of Tongzhou, and this point of people was not enough to see in front of the hundreds of thousands of Liaodong troops in Liaodong. Moreover, Dai Feng's men and horses were stationed in Tongzhou, which was too close to the capital, and the emperor had already planned to transfer Dai Feng away, but he was afraid of Xu Liang and never made a move. Now that Xu Liang said so resolutely, he might as well take the opportunity to drive Dai Feng's people out of Tongzhou and take the opportunity to take back the court's absolute control over the Jingshi region.

Elder Sun Ge nodded slowly and said, "Okay, since Xu Liang insists on doing so, then the old man and Elder Xu Ge will tell the emperor your meaning tomorrow." ”

Xu Liang sneered: "Didn't Elder Sun Ge say that the emperor is going to kill Huang Daozhou tomorrow?" ”

Sun Ge Lao smiled slylyly: "Don't worry, before the emperor decides, Huang Daozhou's life is still guaranteed." In this way, Xu Liang, you go back to the house first and wait for the news. ”

Xu Liang nodded, stood up and left. Behind him, Xu Ge reminded again: "There is a crisis in the East Factory, Xu Liang, don't be impulsive." ”

"Humph!"

Xu Liang snorted lightly and walked away.

Xu Liang's black carriage drove out of Xu Ge Lao's mansion and drove into the thick night under the gaze of the two elder pavilion elders.

The carriage came to a quiet stop on a street corner, as if waiting for something, and a dozen Tsing Yi guards were scattered around, alert for any possible movement.

Soon, the sound of clothes breaking through the air was heard. Three dark shadows hurried towards the carriage.

"Who?" The Tsing Yi guard, who was in charge of guarding the carriage, appeared and asked.

"My own people." The man replied in a deep voice.

Immediately, the three of them stood in front of the carriage, "Subordinate Tietou, Yan Qi, Duan Zhigang has seen adults." ”

Xu Liang sat in the carriage and asked in a deep voice, "How is the situation?" Did you hand it over? ”

Tie Tou said: "My lord, Yan Qi and I took people to touch the yamen of Dongchang, and found that there was something wrong on the road, the street leading to Dongchang was frighteningly dark, and it was scary, and there was no one." I can't even see the husband who fights the shift. For the sake of safety, his subordinates did not rush to attack the East Factory, but sent spies to investigate the news around. After a while, Duan Stalltou came over with your instructions, and his subordinates and others became more and more afraid to act rashly. ”

Yan Qi continued: "Later, the spies who went into the streets to investigate in the dark reported that there were many people in ambush in the residential houses on both sides of Dongchang Street, and the subordinates and others evacuated decisively. ”

Xu Liang breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Very good." Send someone to monitor the East Factory, let's go back to the Dongjiang Courtyard first. ”

"Yes!" The three of them all surrendered their hands and led people back to the Dongjiang Courtyard according to the order.

In the inner courtyard of the Yamen of the East Factory, two rows of guards with different colors of clothing stood in two opposite rows, a row of soapy clothes and soap boots, and a row of flying fish clothes with sleeved spring knives. In the middle of the guards on both sides, two wide chairs were placed, and Cao Huachun, the governor of the Dongchang Factory, and the commander of the Jinyi Guard, made Luo Yangxing sit proudly. It's just that at this moment, the faces of both of them are so gloomy that they can drip water.

"Withdrawn?!" The few muscles on Cao Huachun's face throbbed sharply, and he stared at a single Dongchang fan who was kneeling down to report and asked.

"Uh, yes, yes, Inspector!" Fanzi lowered his head, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his head, "Those black-clothed people originally ran all the way in the direction of Dongchang, but when they reached the corner leading to the Yamen, they suddenly stopped, stopped for a while, and then ...... Somehow withdrew. ”

"Bastard!" Cao Huachun scolded angrily: "A bunch of waste! ”

The commander of Jinyiwei made Luo Yangxing stretch, then got up, patted the dew on his clothes, and said to Cao Huachun: "Come on, Gonggong Cao, it seems that tonight is not going to be a good show." The prisoners in the edict prison have to worry a lot about Gonggong Lao, and the official resigns! ”

As soon as he left, the brocade guards who were originally ambushed in the four corners of the Dongchang Yamen also poured out from various hiding places and left the Dongchang Yamen.

Cao Huachun stared at the direction of the Dongjiang Courtyard, gritted his teeth and scolded: "I didn't expect Xu Liang to be a person who bullies the soft and fears the hard!" It's been a waste of our preparations! Bah! ”

At the head of the third stall of the East Factory on the side, Liu San accompanied him with a smiling face, and wantonly resisted in front of Cao Huachun: "The governor scolded so well!" Under the wise leadership of the governor, how dare Xu Liang make a mistake! The court is afraid of Xu Liang, and in our opinion, this Xu Liang is nothing great. ”

Cao Huachun's face was slightly gloomy, he snorted lightly, glared at Liu San, and shouted in a deep voice: "Liu San, have you forgotten how the former Dongchang factory supervisor died in the hands of Xu Liang?" Xu Liang has been covering the sky in Shaanxi in just two or three years, how can such a person be a wasted person? ! ”

Liu San was stunned, and when he saw that Cao Huachun's tone was not good, he looked embarrassed, and said with a smile: "The Governor has to teach a ...... lesson."

Cao Huachun's face was disappointed, "Liu San, if you have half the ability of Duan Zhigang under Xu Liang, our family won't have to worry about everything!" Alas! ”

Duan Zhigang is the No. 3 person in Tsing Yi Wei, which is no longer a secret in Dongchang and Jinyi Wei. Liu San is the third gear head of the East Factory, and his status is comparable to Duan Zhigang. Cao Huachun compared Liu San with Duan Zhigang, and felt more and more that Liu San's ability was insufficient. And then sigh again, the East Factory talent withered!

Cao Huachun's face was lost, he left the chair, and threw a sentence coldly at Liu San: "I will hand it over to Liu San in the second half of the night!" ”

Liu San hurriedly bowed his hand: "Congratulations to the factory supervisor." ”

When Cao Huachun went back to the house to sleep, Liu San kicked the Taishi chair that Cao Huachun had just sat on, and a resentful look appeared in his eyes: "Duan Zhigang?!" Will our family be inferior to him?! ”

A violent emotion rose in Liu San's heart and spread! The surrounding Dongchang fans all looked at this third-gear head who was on the verge of rage with trepidation.

Liu San glared coldly at the Dongchang Fanzi around him, suddenly looked back in the direction of the Dongchang Imperial Prison, grinned and sneered, and strode in the direction of the Imperial Prison.

Liu San went straight into the Dongchang Imperial Prison all the way, ordered someone to open the door of the prison where Huang Daozhou was held, and when he walked in, he saw Huang Daozhou lying on his side on the tattered and moldy straw mat, sleeping well, snoring softly.

Liu San suddenly became angry: Grandma's, our family has been arranged outside for a night, and we are ready to close the door and beat the dog! Unexpectedly, the enemy did not enter the trap. Our family is boiling up and down and fighting, and Zodiac Zhou will be very happy, and he actually sleeps so soundly?!

Bang! Liu San kicked the broken bed in the prison with a heavy kick, and the huge sound suddenly woke up Huang Daozhou! Huang Daozhou turned over and stood up, and when he saw Liu San in front of him clearly, he saw Liu Sanyi's terrible eyes that he was about to eat alive, and couldn't help but sigh lightly and said: "In the middle of the night, what is Father-in-law Liu going to do if he doesn't go back to sleep?" ”

Liu San roared angrily: "Our family is tired and tired, you are good, you are actually sleeping?!" It's really annoying to our family! Come on, come with a whip! Let's refresh Lord Huang! ”

Huang Daozhou's eyes, the corners of his mouth, were just endless contempt and sneering, and without saying a word, he let the two Dongchang fans escort him and tie him to the execution cross.

Liu San had the cowhide whip in his hand, laughed fiercely, raised the whip, and the heavy whip fell on Huang Daozhou's body.

Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!

Zodiac Zhou gritted his teeth, and on his face, chest, hands, and feet, there were whip marks one after another! He didn't say a word, held his head high, raised his eyes and glared at Liu San, only disdain was left in his eyes!

Liu San was once again angered by Huang Daozhou's eyes, and a heavier whip fell.

"I'll make you stare at me! Makes you stare at! Are you glaring again?! Liu San roared. (To be continued.) )
