Commander Sun and the others threw down their matching knives and strode away. After leaving, he never came back, and disappeared, and the other guards of the Qin Wangfu couldn't help but guess that most of these people were dead.

The Patrol Division took over the remaining guards of the Qin Palace, so that the total strength of the Patrol Division reached more than 10,000 people.

The Patrol Division, the Tsing Yi Guard, and the Taxation Division, these three organizations constitute the power organs of the Shaanxi Governor's Yamen, and in contrast, the influence of the original Political Envoy Division, the Inspectorate Division, and the Command Envoy Division have been greatly weakened, and most of the power in Shaanxi Province is concentrated in the Shaanxi Governor's Yamen.

And He Zhun, the political envoy of Shaanxi, Deng Shuiqing, the prefect of Chang'an, Qi Chu and others, after the incident of the Qin Wangfu, became more and more in awe of the governor's yamen.

In addition to contributing a large amount of money to the governor's yamen, another unexpected result of the Qin Wangfu incident was that the tax collection of the Taxation Department in Xi'an Mansion was implemented smoothly and unprecedentedly, and many merchants who were originally dissatisfied with the new tax law rushed to the Taxation Department to pay taxes and silver.

Xu Liang looked at the tax collection account submitted by Luo Baiguan raised by the Taxation Division, and Luo Baiguan introduced the fruitful results of the Taxation Department with his eyebrows fluttering on the side.

"So, no one in Xi'an City dares to evade taxes?"

"Absolutely not!" Luo Baiguan played the package ticket, "My lord, you think, even a behemoth like the Qin Wangfu has been leveled by the adult, where do other small fish and shrimp dare to make a mess!"

Well! Xu Liang was very satisfied with this situation, and pondered in his heart: the money and property that were previously searched from the officials who were in trouble, plus the assets squeezed out of the Qin Wang's Mansion this time, there were as many as four or five hundred thousand taels of silver alone. Wu Side, who was in charge of going to Turpan to contact Manchu Karl two days ago, has returned to Chang'an. The news was that the Manthorn was willing to cooperate and had contacted the leaders of the two local cities. Willing to use their nitrate, sulfur. Horses and other goods were traded with the tea, cloth, porcelain, and medicinal herbs brought by Wu Sid, and the first batch of things worth 30,000 taels had been exchanged for 780,000 taels worth of nitrate and sulfur. Xu Liang now had enough cash in his hands, and in addition to supporting his army, his main purpose was to trade with Turpan and strive for greater benefits.

"It seems that it is time to implement the new tax law of the Taxation Department throughout Shaanxi." Xu Liang sighed, and then looked at Luo Baiguan. The instruction said: "Order, tomorrow convene the officials of the three divisions to the governor's yamen to discuss the new tax law." ”

Luo Baiguan got the order and retreated happily.

The introduction of the new tax law was passed without controversy at the regular meeting of the governor's yamen the next day. After some deliberate suppression and purging, the high-level people in Shaanxi who can speak are basically Deng Shuiqing, He Zhun and a group of people who cater to Xu Liang. The rest of Qian Yongtai's old team basically went underground to accompany Mr. Qian.

After the matter of commercial taxation was agreed, He Zhun, the political envoy of Daibu, once again raised a thorny question.

"My lord, Xia Guan and Ding Shiyou, the prefect of Hanzhong. The appointment of Lu Chengyuan, the prefect of Gongchang, and others, has not been approved by the court. He Zhun, the political envoy of Daibu, said worriedly, "The lower officials got news from the capital that the cabinet intends to re-elect a group of officials to Shaanxi. It is very likely that he will take over the position of Xia Guan and others......"

He Zhun looked directly at Xu Liang when he said this, and there was no need to say much about the next words. Although Hanzhong Mansion and Gongchang Mansion were under the deterrence of the army, no one dared to oppose Ding Shiyou and Lu Chengyuan. However, without an appointment from the ministry, it will be unjustifiable.

The eyes of all the adults in the hall were focused on Xu Liang. Looking forward to the governor's answer. Xu Liang was silent for a moment, thinking about how to respond.

He Zhun, Ding Shiyou, and Lu Chengyuan recommended the twists and turns, and the governor yamen sent a round to the capital almost every ten days, but they all fell into the sea.

Thinking of the Dongchang Governor Yu Gonggong and the Jingying Commander Wang Pu in the Guyuan Governor's Mansion, Xu Liang understood the meaning of the court. The emperor and the cabinet had already made up their minds that they would no longer tolerate covering the sky in Shaanxi, but they were afraid of the tens of thousands of troops under Xu Liang, so they did not forcibly take it.

As for the candidate recommended by Xu Liang...... It's weird to be able to pass.

Xu Liang sneered in his heart, raised his eyes to meet the eyes of the adults, and said with a smile: "Lord He, don't panic, with the official here, you can put your heart in your stomach." ”

"But what if the court really chooses another official to come down?" He Zhun was still uncertain and asked worriedly.

Xu Liang sneered coldly and said proudly: "Shaanxi is my Xu Liang's Shaanxi, the court wants to send officials down, and the official must agree, if the official does not agree, hum, how many officials the court sends down are in vain!" ”

When these words were spoken, the officials were awe-struck by the sound. He Zhun lowered his head and stopped asking.

Two days later, just as Shaanxi's new tax law was fully implemented throughout Shaanxi, a team of people entered the city from the east gate of Chang'an City, led by the prince of Qin. It's just that at this moment, the prince of Qin has long lost the appearance and majesty of the prince, one arm is seriously injured, tied with a bandage and hung around his neck, a luxurious robe has a few cuts on it, and a few large black stains, it looks like he has just experienced a life-and-death battle.

Behind the prince was a simple carriage, and through the windows that were ventilated on all sides, a noble lady could be vaguely seen sitting in it, looking sad and worried.

Further back are a few standing rings and subordinates. Shi Ping, the accompanying head of the Qin Palace, was lying on a wooden plank, his chest was blurred with flesh and blood, and he was dying.

Under the strange eyes and pointing gestures of many people on the street, the group hurried to the gate of King Qin's mansion and walked in.

Zhu Cunshu, the king of Qin, and the housekeeper who got the news rushed out to meet the princess of Qin, who had just gotten off the carriage, and was shocked, and asked urgently, "What's the matter?" Princess, how did you get like this? ”

When Princess Qin saw King Qin, the sorrow she endured along the way was like a river that broke its embankment, and she couldn't stop it anymore, and she was rushing in an uproar.

"Lord, we ...... We were robbed...... Woo......"

King Qin was furious, glared left and right, and asked, "Bastard! What about the accompanying guards? What about the history of the royal palace? Are they all dead? A few thieves can't deal with it?! ”

Princess Qin was crying, and Qin Shizi looked at King Qin with grief and indignation, and said, "Father." It's not that the guards who accompanied us were disloyal, but that the robbers we encountered were too strong. There are thousands of people who take advantage of the night to kill. The hundreds of guards who accompanied him were killed, wounded, and even Lord Changshi was seriously injured, and it seemed that he would not be able to do it. ”

King Qin felt ridiculous, and jumped to his feet and scolded: "Ridiculous! When did the robbers in Shaanxi have such strength? Dare to brazenly rob the convoy of the palace! ”

When the prince heard this, he became more sad and indignant, looked in a certain direction, and said hatefully: "Father is right! According to the child, these robberies are not simple! They killed all the guards. After robbing the money, a dozen of us were left behind! Hmph, when did the robbers also understand the Tao and the Tao?! ”

King Qin was stunned for a moment, looked in the direction of the prince's vision, and then his face changed greatly, and he jumped to his feet and roared: "It's too much to deceive people!! ”

And Qin Shizi looked in the direction of the past and crossed a few streets, which was the Yamen of the governor of Shaanxi. Admiral Tie Tou of the Patrol Division was standing straight in front of Xu Liang's table, reporting in detail the movements in the direction of the Qin Palace.

"Young Master, Princess Qin and the Prince. Coupled with the more than a dozen people who came back alive such as the dying palace governor, they went straight into the Qin Palace, and then the gate of the Qin Palace's mansion was closed, and they couldn't see through the movement inside. The Iron Head said, "But." According to the estimation of his subordinates, King Qin is probably going crazy this time. ”

Xu Liang listened and glared at Tie Tou with a little reproach. kept sighing: "You must have done too recklessly in this matter!" The King of Qin has disbanded the royal palace guards according to my terms. Donated the royal property. After these things, the Qin Wangfu could no longer pose a threat. The officials all have the heart to let the princess of Qin and the prince leave. You guys do it. Alas, things are ending badly. ”

Tietou looked indifferent, and said with a smile: "Young master, it's strange that King Qin is too swaggering, when he goes back to his hometown in Nanjing, he can't wait to bring all the money and property he can bring, and the gold, silver and jade alone are enough to fit five carriages!" is so showy, even if we don't do it, it's hard to guarantee that other people will target it. Hehe, we will definitely not suffer a loss for this vote, and the harvest will be more than 100,000 taels. ”

Xu Liang stared at the iron head and asked in a deep voice, "When Tsing Yiwei made a move, they didn't see the flaws, right?" ”

"Shouldn't there be?" The iron head is not quite sure about the tunnel.

"You're still killing? And haven't killed yet? ”

Tietou took a sip and scolded with a smile: "Originally, the chief of the palace didn't deserve to die, but that grandson was too indebted, and he kept scolding and scolding, and his words were too ugly!" The people at the bottom were not popular, so they gave him a knife. ”

Xu Liang sighed and said, "Next time I don't have my order, don't do this!" ”

"Hey." The iron head obediently came down.

The voice of the guards sounded outside the door: "Lord Qiqi, King Qin asks to see." ”

Here it comes! Xu Liang and Tietou glanced at each other, and secretly said that this bitter master came quite quickly! Waving his hand and waving away the iron head, Xu Liang straightened his clothes, and came to the lobby of the governor's yamen, and saw Zhu Cunshu, the king of Qin, sitting there with a gloomy face, and the hot tea on the coffee table was not moved.

Xu Liang pondered his emotions for a moment, stepped forward a few steps, and arched his hand towards King Qin: "Oh, Lord Qin, this official just heard that Princess Qin and the prince are back in Chang'an City again?" I heard that I also suffered some ...... Uh, frightened? It's not a big deal, right? ”

King Qin stared at Xu Liang with angry eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Xu, I, Zhu Cunshu, have already admitted it, I will do what you ask me to do!" But how can you be treacherous and untrustworthy?! ”

Xu Liang was stunned and innocent, looked at King Qin in surprise, and asked in amazement: "What, listening to what Lord Qin means, this is still related to this official?" ”

King Qin said angrily: "Xu Liang, the dignified governor, is he also a person who dares to be a person who does not dare to be?!" This king is here today to seek justice for my Qin Palace! ”

Xu Liang suddenly beat his chest and paused, with a wronged expression, "The conscience of heaven and earth!" Princess Qin and the prince returned to Chang'an, and the official only found out! Didn't the princess and the prince leave to return to Nanjing? How did it get like this? This one...... The official has no idea! ”

"Pretending to be like it!" King Qin sneered.

Xu Liang can't stand it! Originally, Tsing Yiwei did this in private, and he really didn't know about it. Prince Qin's attitude made the little guilt that remained in Xu Liang's heart disappear completely.

"Zhu Cunshu!" Xu Liang shouted rhetorically: "What happened to Princess Qin and the prince, the official really doesn't know!" Don't frame your official with such a trumped-up charge! This official has always done things in a dignified manner, and if he did it, he did it, and if he didn't do it, he didn't do it! I'll say it again: the matter of Princess Qin and the prince of the world, the official doesn't know! ”

After speaking, Xu Liang added from the bottom of his heart: At least beforehand, I really don't know!

Xu Liang's face changed suddenly, and King Qin was also frightened, and he looked at Xu Liang suspiciously, and asked, "You really don't know?" ”

Xu Liang snorted twice and looked at King Qin with an expression that you have wronged me.

King Qin was suspicious and muttered, "Who did that?" Could it be that you really met a thief? ”

Seeing this, Xu Liang hurriedly asked with concern, "Lord Wang, what happened?" The official is still confused? ”

King Qin looked at Xu Liang and seemed to confirm that Xu Liang's words were somewhat credible. After pondering for a while, King Qin said sadly: "The king's concubine and prince were robbed on the way back to Nanjing......"

"Huh? Has anyone ever been hurt? Xu Liang exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly asked.

King Qin thought for a moment and said, "Lord Changshi is seriously injured......

"Ah, alas, alas." Xu Liang said with emotion.

"Huh?"

"I mean pathetic!" Xu Liang hurriedly corrected: "Lord Changshi is too pitiful! ”

Facing King Qin's suspicious look, Xu Liang hurriedly comforted: "Lord Wang, don't worry, this official has regarded King Qin's Mansion as the most important partner, friend!" If something like this happened in the Qin Palace, this official would never stand idly by! This official will order all the patrol divisions to be dispatched, and the culprit who robbed the palace convoy must be found out! ”

Under the nose of King Qin, Xu Liang solemnly called the commander of the Patrol Division Tietou in, told the princess of Qin and the prince what happened to him in person, and then solemnly told the Patrol Division to do his best to investigate!

After some more good words, Xu Liang sent King Qin away.

Xu Liang returned to the inner courtyard of the governor's yamen, sat down and wiped his sweat, and sighed: "Alas, acting is also very tiring!" ”

This kind of cheap and well-behaved appearance attracted Lou Xian'er and Yahuan who entered the house to eat and laugh.

The Patrol Division received Xu Liang's instructions and investigated the place where Princess Qin and the prince had an accident for a few days, and then returned to the government on the grounds that the traces of the crime had been buried in the rain and could not be traced.

Zhu Cunshu, the king of Qin, rushed to the governor's yamen to inquire about the case with a glimmer of hope, but was sent back by Xu Liang on the grounds that he was still pursuing.

Two days later, King Qin and Prince Qin came together to inquire about the progress of the case, and Xu Liang replied to the two with a guilty face: "It is still under investigation......

Five days later, the commander of the patrol department came to report: "King Qin's family has gone out of the city last night. ”

Xu Liang was stunned for a while and asked, "Where did you go?" ”

"Guyuan!" (To be continued.) )
