Hong Chengchou fainted in the trilateral governor's palace, which frightened the staff officers and personal soldiers of the governor's palace. After some treatment, Governor Hong woke up slowly, looked up at the roof with blank eyes, and Governor Hong instructed his subordinates: "Go, invite Governor Yuchang." ”

Not only did he fail to take over the jurisdiction of Shaanxi, but he also lost more than 6,000 Hong soldiers he had worked so hard to build outside the city. You must know that in order to maintain this army subordinate to himself, Hong Chengchou was aggrieved and sought perfection, borrowed money everywhere, and pulled down his face as a dignified governor of the three sides, so that he could hardly maintain the situation of six or seven thousand people.

However, outside Xianyang City, Xu Liang's fire burned all of Hong Chengchou's years of hard work. If you want to ask who Governor Hong hates the most at the moment, then this person is none other than Xu Liang, the governor of Shaanxi.

Governor Hong was no longer ready to show mercy to Xu Liang, and his murderous intent towards Xu Liang had never been as strong as it was now.

To kill Xu Liang, Governor Hong felt that Yu Huatian, the governor of Dongchang, was the most suitable person at the moment.

However, the moment he saw Yu Huatian, Hong Chengchou himself was taken aback by Yu Huatian's state. Father-in-law Yu was like a gambler who had lost all his family, his eyes were piled up, his eyes were dilated, he walked into the study of the governor's mansion, sat down with a buttocks, and began to sigh for a long time.

Governor Hong looked at Yu Huatian in a daze, and couldn't figure out how the always arrogant Dongchang Governor could be this virtuous, what blow should this be?

Governor Hong was puzzled in his heart, but the topic that should be said still had to be said, otherwise, it seemed that Gonggong Yu didn't know how long to sit down.

"Ahem, father-in-law." Hong Chengchou coughed lightly twice to attract Yu Huatian's gaze, "I guess you have also heard that when this governor led his subordinates to Chang'an City, he was ambushed outside Xianyang City, and almost the entire army was wiped out. The Governor's years of hard work have been in vain! In the past, Ben Du still cared about this face and wanted to defeat Xu Liang with dignity. Now it seems that Xu Liang's ruthlessness and shamelessness have exceeded Bendu's expectations. I'm not going to play with him anymore, I'm going to kill Xu Liang in the most primitive way......"

Hong Chengchou said a lot in a word, suddenly looked up, and found that Yu Huatian was still stunned, and his fugue was too empty. I couldn't help but call out twice: "Grandpa Yu?!" Yu Huatian! ”

This high-decibel call finally woke Yu Huatian up.

Seeing Yu Huatian looking over, Hong Chengchou said with a little displeasure: "Did my father-in-law listen to what the governor was saying?" ”

When Yu Huatian heard this, a smile on his face that was more ugly than crying appeared, and he said to Hong Chengchou: "My family has heard the words of the governor. Does the Governor want to borrow my Dongchang's hand and kill Xu Liang directly? ”

Yu Huatian was so direct, Hong Chengchou's old face was a little unbearable. Said curtly: "This governor knows that the top killer last time, Heavenly Killer failed to kill Xu Liang, so it can be seen that Xu Liang still has some means. But I think my father-in-law has been in charge of the East Investigation Factory for many years, and he should have some hole cards in his hand, and it shouldn't be too difficult to kill someone. ”

Yu Huatian sighed, wanted to cry without tears, was terrified, looked at Governor Hong, and muttered, "Didn't the Governor notice that there is any difference between our family today?" ”

Hong Chengchou said secretly, looking at your panicked appearance like a lost dog, who knows where you were stimulated by something.

Hong Chengchou glanced at Yu Huatian carefully, and said curtly: "This governor looks like his father-in-law seems to be a lot haggard today, is it because he hasn't slept well in the past few days?" ”

Yu Huatian looked up to the sky and sighed, he was really blind, so he would find someone like Hong Chengchou to cooperate. When is this coming, Hong Chengchou still has the heart to make his own jokes.

Yu Huatian looked at Hong Chengchou angrily, and said with a wry smile in a hoarse voice: "Your Excellency Governor, didn't you see it, our family came over today, and we didn't even bring a guard with you?" ”

Hong Chengchou was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart, what is this! Whether you bring guards or not, what does it have to do with me Hong Chengchou.

Hong Chengchou followed Yu Huatian's words and asked casually: "Didn't your father-in-law send out his subordinates?" ”

When Yu Huatian heard this, he suddenly seemed to be reminded of some sad past, and he looked hateful and afraid, and said hatefully: "It would be good if our family was sent out." It's hateful that our family has no soldiers except for a Song stall leader. ”

"None? What does it mean to be gone? ”

Yu Huatian said hatefully: "No, it's dead!" Dead! ”

Hong Chengchou was taken aback at this time, and looked at Yu Huatian in shock, "This governor remembers that my father-in-law brought two hundred Dongchang fans from Jingshi, plus the Dongchang spies in Shaanxi Province, there should be three or four hundred people, why are they all gone?" Who did this to you? ”

After Hong Chengchou asked, he felt that he was asking in vain, in Shaanxi, except for the instructions of Xu Liang, the governor of Shaanxi, who would dare to attack the dignified Dongji Factory!

Hong Chengchou had nothing to say, he originally wanted to ask Dongchang to help, but now it seems that Yu Huatian is unable to protect himself.

Yu Huatian sat blankly for a while, then got up hurriedly and shouted: "Xu Liang, this person is too ruthless, no, this Shaanxi can't stay!" Your Excellency the Governor, forgive us for not accompanying us, our family wants to return to Beijing! ”

After that, without waiting for Hong Chengchou to respond, Yu Huatian hurriedly walked out, called his only subordinate Song stall head, the two changed their clothes, rode fast horses, and hurriedly left Guyuan City and went to Jingshi.

Hong Chengchou waited for two or three days without any choice, originally wanted to be quiet for two days, but the businessmen who had borrowed silver taels from the Governor's Mansion heard that Hong Bing was almost wiped out outside Xianyang City, and the news that Xu Liang had returned to Chang'an safely spread, those businessmen felt that the situation was not right, and rushed to the Governor's Mansion one after another, asking to meet Governor Hong, and the topic was one: pay back the money!

Governor Hong couldn't scrape together a thousand taels of silver, and how could he have the money to deal with these merchants, so he sent several staff officers of the governor's palace to deal with these merchants, and he hid in his study and refused to show his face.

In the lobby of the Governor's Palace, several staff officers of the Governor's Mansion were engaged in a difficult war of words with six or seven businessmen.

"Staff Officer Liu, you have said so much, but you have given us a letter of approval, when will the governor be able to repay the money borrowed from us." A businessman asked nonsensibly, tugging at the sleeve of the Governor's Palace's staff officer.

Staff Officer Liu explained with smoke in his throat, "Oh, except for the discipline officer, I said that the silver borrowed from you by the Governor's Mansion will not be repaid in a long time." Our dignified trilateral governor's mansion has tens of thousands of dollars of money and grain every month, will it still be short of your thousands of taels of silver! ”

Discipline officer is also a difficult role to deal with, and immediately confronted Staff Officer Liu, "Since Staff Officer Liu also said that the Governor's Mansion has countless money and food every month, then pay back my money first!" Hey! ”

Staff Officer Liu was speechless for a moment, and said in his heart that if the Governor's Mansion had this money, I would still need to waste my tongue with you profiteers here!

"What? Is the Governor's Mansion really missing this bit of money from my family? Seeing that Staff Officer Liu was speechless, the discipline officer suddenly became even more reluctant, stared at Staff Officer Liu, and asked.

Staff Officer Liu was embarrassed for a while, and he didn't know how to answer.

The discipline officer shouted: "Okay, I also know that Staff Officer Liu can't be the master of the Governor's Mansion." Let's invite the Governor out, we've been arguing here all morning, and I haven't seen the Governor show his face! ”

"Outside of the discipline, you are too presumptuous! Your Excellency the Governor has all the opportunities, and you people can see them if you want! Staff Officer Liu's face changed, and he shouted loudly.

These words were suddenly like stabbing a hornet's nest, and the other five or six businessmen immediately stopped doing it, and asked in a loud voice: "Staff Officer Liu, you have made it clear, who are our people!" ”

"That's right! When he borrowed money from us, he pretended to be so kind, but now he can't pay the money, it's like this, it's too bullying! ”

"Hmph, today's Shaanxi is not the Shaanxi of Jianchang, if the Governor's Mansion does not rely on our money to pay back, we will go to Chang'an and find the governor Yamen to complain! I have met Luo Tiju of the Taxation Division! ”

Six or seven businessmen chattered angrily, but what they said made Staff Officer Liu and several other staff officers ashamed. The three-sided governor who wants to be dignified himself, himself is in charge of the Shaanxi governor's yamen, and now in the eyes of these businessmen, it seems that the Shaanxi governor's yamen is the main master, and the governor's palace is just a foil!

While there was a lot of noise in the hall, a lazy voice sounded outside the door.

"Yo, it's so lively? I didn't go to the wrong place, did I? This is the Trilateral Governor's Palace? Could it be that this official accidentally entered the vegetable market? ”

The voice sounded very lazy and teasing.

The noise in the room suddenly fell silent, and several merchants and staff officers of the governor's palace all looked out, wondering who this person was. How can you talk like that!

When they looked at each other, the people in the room were stunned.

Looking from the main entrance of the lobby of the Governor's Palace, I saw that the original guards of the Governor's Mansion had been replaced by unfamiliar officers and soldiers at some point, and the original guards of the Governor's Mansion had been subdued to one side and guarded by these strange officers and soldiers.

Staff Officer Liu's face changed, and he shouted out in shock: "Patrol Division?!" ”

Everyone also changed their faces, and the name of the Shaanxi Governor's Yamen Patrol Division has resounded throughout the whole territory of Shaanxi, and its prestige has spread far and wide to other provinces. Now the officers and soldiers of the Patrol Division actually went to the yamen of the Governor's Palace, and they also took care of the guards of the original Governor's Palace.

This, this is the rhythm of something big.

Everyone quickly understood this, and immediately the merchants stopped arguing, and the staff officers of the Governor's Mansion had no time to pay attention to these merchants, looking at all this in shock, Staff Officer Liu exclaimed fiercely: "You, who are you?" Dare to trespass on the Trilateral Governor's Palace! ”

Xu Liang sneered, squinted at the staff officer of the Governor's Mansion, looked at the room mockingly, waved his hand, and said: "You continue to fight for you, this official came today to find your Governor Hong Chengchou." Where is he? Forget it, the official will go to him himself. ”

Xu Liang said, raised his feet and walked in the direction of Hong Chengchou's study.

Staff Officer Liu hesitated and shouted: "Hey, you can't go over ......"

As soon as he spoke, two Pu knives came to his face, and he immediately pressed back Staff Officer Liu's next words.

Xu Liang walked to Hong Chengchou's study, four Tsing Yi guards guarded the door, Xu Liang raised his foot, kicked the door of the study away, and fell into the middle of the study with a bang, slapping up a lot of dust.

Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides, who was originally writing with ink in order to be calm, was shocked, and the pen in his hand fell to the ground with a snap, and the ink was wet all over the ground.

"Yo, the Governor still has the time to write Mobao?" Xu Liang stood at the door with the door open, sneering at Hong Chengchou.

Hong Chengchou looked at Xu Liang in a daze, his face kept changing, for a long time, he let out a long sigh as if he was resigned to his fate, sat down, and said calmly: "Xu Liang, you are here, are you here to kill me?" He closed his eyes and said, "If you want my life, then please do it, Ben Du has lost nothing, and he has no face to live in this world anymore." ”

Xu Liang looked at Hong Chengchou curiously, shook his head with a sneer, and said in a quiet tone: "Hong Chengchou, you should really take a mirror and look at yourself, your whole body is so dirty, there is no place for this official to start." If the official wants to kill you, he will only dirty the official's hands. Besides, this official entered the Governor's Mansion all the way, and I don't know how many pairs of eyes saw it along the way, if I kill you, wouldn't everyone know that you were killed by me Xu Liang? ”

Hong Chengchou said coldly: "You are still like this, as a bitch, you don't forget to set up the archway." I've done all the bad things, and I want to take care of my reputation! ”

Xu Liang smiled and said with great satisfaction: "No way, this official just likes this feeling, obviously you all know that I Xu Liang did it, but on the surface, you can't find evidence!" In any case, if you court officials can be disgusted with hypocrisy, this official is very happy. ”

Hong Chengchou sneered a few times, then tilted his head to look at Xu Liang and asked, "Then, Xu Liang, what are you going to do with me?" ”

Xu Liang chuckled and said, "Although what you have done makes me want to chop you into countless pieces with one knife." However, you, Hong Chengchou, are here, and you can still play a role to some extent, so the official decided to spare your life for the time being. ”

"I'm afraid it's not that simple, right?"

Xu Liang leaned against the door, smiled, and said, "Of course, in order to prevent you from taking advantage of your ridiculous status as the trilateral governor to cause me trouble, from now on, the people in your trilateral governor's palace, except for those few staff officers who are so sour that they make people lose their teeth, the rest of the people will be replaced by people from the patrol department." And you, the governor of the trilateral sides, shall not go out without the permission of your own official from now on. All the documents exchanged between the Governor's Palace must first be sent to the Yamen of the Governor of Chang'an, and I can only send them after reading them. ”

Hong Chengchou didn't have any surprised expression, and said calmly: "You want me to be a puppet?" ”

Xu Liang nodded and said, "It's okay if you think so." ”

Hong Chengchou said: "You better kill me." ”

Xu Liang listened, and threw a dagger to Hong Chengchou's feet, "The official said that killing you will dirty my hands." If Lord Hung wants to apologize for his crimes, please do so yourself. But before you die, I will call those staff officers over and watch the Governor commit suicide, so that someone will prove that your death has nothing to do with my own officer. ”

Hong Chengchou looked down at the dagger under his feet, trembling violently, but he didn't have the courage to take this dagger after all.

Xu Liang looked at him mockingly, then turned around and walked out, saying as he walked: "In the courtyard outside, the official left some things for the governor. If you dare to plot against me, you must pay some price. ”

Hong Chengchou was silent, waiting for Xu Liang to go away, then hurriedly rushed out of the study and came to the courtyard, where he saw several staff officers looking at the three black wooden boxes placed in the center of the courtyard with fear.

Hong Chengchou pushed away several staff officers, opened the first one with trembling hands, and with a single glance, he exclaimed: "General An!" ”

In the black box, the head of General An, the general of the Suzhou Guard, was placed inside, and General An looked frightened.

Hong Chengchou opened the other two one after another, and after seeing it clearly, he sat on the ground with his ass.

In the other two black boxes, there are the heads of Song stalls in the East Factory and Yu Huatian, the factory supervisor. (To be continued.) )
