At dusk, Xu Liang's carriage drove into the Xu Mansion on Dongmen Street, and when the car stopped steadily, the driver of the car had not yet left his hand, and saw the sound of the car curtain moving, Xu Liang bowed and jumped out of the car.

Ge Qiao, Xu Qing, Luo Baiguan and others, who were waiting in the Xu Mansion, hurriedly rushed forward, and Luo Baiguan called out aggrievedly: "My lord, you are back...... Wow...... The little ones are all miserable......"

Xu Liang was stunned, turned his head to look at Luo Baiguan's pitiful appearance, nodded and comforted: "Isn't it just that you were kicked out of the patrol camp, it's okay, I'll arrange an errand for you when I go back." ”

"Hmm." Luo Baiguan glared at the teary eyes and nodded, "Lord Xie raises love." ”

"Okay, don't lift love, don't lift love, uh, are you okay?" Xu Liang looked very anxious and asked repeatedly.

"Small...... It's okay for the little one, it's Lord Ge and ......"

"It's okay." Before Xu Liang could finish speaking, he stretched out his hand to block Luo Baiguan, stopped Luo Baiguan aside, and lifted the curtain with his own hands, and said respectfully: "Master, the cold house has arrived, please get out of the car." ”

"Amitabha!" In the curious eyes of Ge Qiao and others, a loud Buddha horn, and then an old monk with kind eyebrows, snow-white eyebrows, and a red robe walked down from the car, and saw Ge Qiao and the three people who surrounded Xu Liang, and nodded slightly, which was regarded as a greeting.

Xu Liang became more and more respectful, raised his eyes and saw that Luo Baiguan was still stunned and pestle in front of him, blocking the master's way, frowning, and pulling Luo Baiguan aside: "Let Rang, let Rangha, come, Master Chang Hui, please come with me!" ”

After speaking, he no longer paid attention to Ge Qiao and the others, who wanted to stop talking, and accompanied the old monk towards the inner courtyard of Xu's mansion.

Luo Baiguan blinked his eyes and said to himself, "When did our family convert to Buddhism?" Didn't he always call himself a materialist? Alas, it's bad, it must have been Lord Xu who already knew that we were cleared out of the patrol camp by Jiang Zhunan, and he was disheartened, so he fell into the old monk's calculations, and wanted to cut his ambition and convert to Buddhism...... Alas, Master Ge, why are you knocking me? ”

"Who do you knock if I don't knock?" Ge Qiao scolded angrily: "Still converted to Buddhism, when do you think we adults are like disciples of Buddhism?" There are so many rooms inside and outside the Xu Mansion in Nuoda, have you ever seen a Buddhist hall? Have you ever heard Lord Xu burn a pillar of incense? You're talking nonsense. Also, you said that you have already made up your mind to clear out the patrol camp, and Lord Xu also knows, what are you crying in front of when you come up? The old man and Second Brother Xu were so aggrieved that they wanted to talk to the adults. ”

"I ...... Why is this to blame me? Luo Baiguan was very aggrieved.

"Don't blame anyone!" Xu Qing on the side was also angry, nodded at Luo Baiguan's head, and lit Luo Baiguan like a chicken pecking rice, "Our third brother waited for an afternoon, and it was easy for my third brother to come back, good guy, you go up and cry for a long time, and say all the useless things, and don't talk about any serious things." ”

"I forgot." Luo Baiguan slapped the back of his head, "I'll go and explain it to the adults." As he spoke, he was about to go to the inner courtyard of the Xu Mansion.

"Come back!" Ge Qiao stopped and said, "You lack heart, didn't you see our adults accompany that old man and Yan Gang to enter?" ”

At this time, Yahuan Xia'er hugged her bag and walked towards the inner courtyard. Ge Qiao stopped and shouted, "Miss Xia'er? ”

"Hello Master Ge, good Second Young Master, good Brother Luo." Xia Er stopped and greeted the three generals of the patrol battalion one by one.

"It's all good." Ge Qiao said: "The old man asked you, what is the origin of Lord Xu's welcome to the old monk in the inner courtyard?" ”

"Ah," Xia Er thought for a moment, and then replied, "Lord Ge is not an outsider if he wants to come, so it doesn't hurt to sue you." It was Master Chang Hui of Yunshan Zhenru Temple, and the young master specially invited him to see the young lady. ”

After asking the reason, Ge Qiao and Xu Qing looked at each other, pulled Luo Baiguan, who was still looking, and walked out, Luo Baiguan shouted, "Let's not look for adults?" ”

"Another day, Lord Xu is not available today." Ge Qiao said.

Xu Liang accompanied Master Chang Hui into the inner courtyard of the Xu Mansion, and when he arranged for his subordinates to be ready, he asked Master Chang Hui to treat Feng Suqin, who was already asleep.

Master Chang Hui diagnosed Feng Suqin, read the prescription prescribed by the doctor, frowned and thought for a long time, and then asked Xu Liang to wake up Feng Suqin, and wanted to personally use the gong to drive away the cold for Feng Suqin.

Xu Liang was overjoyed, woke up Feng Suqin, explained the reason, and asked Master Chang Hui to use his skills to ward off the cold.

Xu Liang watched TV movies in his previous life, and in it, he played Shaolin monks who used their skills to treat injuries or force out poisonous gas, most of them were hot on the back of their heads or all over their bodies, and they were so awesome that they couldn't do it.

Traveling to the Ming Dynasty, this is the first time that I can see the contemporary monks of the Ming Dynasty. According to the request of Master Chang Hui, Feng Suqin was dressed in single clothes, the old Zen master began to exercise through the clothes, Xu Liang sent away irrelevant subordinates, leaving only Chun'er and Xia'er two maids to wait, and he also stood on the side and stared without blinking.

At first glance, there is nothing unusual about Master Chang Hui's work, but the slow movements of Master Chang Hui are more like the massage of later generations, but it is slower and more solemn, and there is no trace of the legendary green smoke rising. Feng Suqin closed her eyes, sometimes frowning, sometimes pursing her lips, looking very uncomfortable, while Zen Master Chang Hui had no distractions and a solemn expression.

After half an hour, Xu Liang was surprised to see fine beads of sweat begin to appear on Feng Suqin's forehead, and after a while, Feng Suqin seemed to be sweating all over her body, and a few sweats on her back soaked through her clothes, and her thin back was clearly visible. Looking at Master Chang Hui again, he was also sweating profusely and looking tired.

Xu Liang looked at it strangely, but he also put his mind at ease, according to this look, the old monk is also reliable.

Chang Hui's treatment lasted for a whole hour, and after the end, Feng Suqin fell into a deep sleep. Xu Liang thanked Chang Hui for his kindness, and originally wanted to hold a banquet and thank Master Chang Hui well, but was politely rejected by Master Chang Hui, and the master asked for an elegant and quiet room, saying that he wanted to rest and rest, and Xu Liang naturally did not allow it.

The next day, he sent off Master Chang Hui, and Xu Liang went to see Feng Suqin again, at this time Feng Suqin had woken up, and her complexion was much better than before. Xu Liang was overjoyed, and while sending someone to invite Mrs. Feng over, he sat in front of the bed and talked with him.

After a while, Mrs. Feng, Feng Min'er and others rushed over when they heard the news, and they were naturally overjoyed to see Feng Suqin, who looked good. A group of women in the room chattered, and Xu Liang withdrew.

When I went out of the inner courtyard door, I saw Ge Qiao, Xu Qing and Luo Baiguan got together and muttered, and when I saw Xu Liang, I came over to greet him.

The group came to the living room, and the people served tea and snacks. Xu Liang smiled and asked, "I seem to have seen the three of you yesterday, is something wrong?" ”

Ge Qiao and the other three saw that Xu Liang's expression was relaxed and his attitude was kind, so they guessed that it was most likely that the old monk of Zhenru Temple had an effect on the young lady's diagnosis and treatment.

Ge Qiao smiled and said: "Originally, I should have reported to the adult yesterday, but it happened that the adult invited the senior monk of Zhenru Temple to treat the young lady's illness, and it would be inconvenient for the subordinates and others to disturb again. ”

Xu Liang raised his eyebrows and nodded with a smile.

Ge Qiao and the three of them hurriedly got up and congratulated. Xu Qing also shouted that he was going to visit his younger siblings, and only then did he give up when he heard that there was a room of women in the house at this moment.

Ge Qiao's expression was stern, and he reported: "My lord, you went to Yunshan early yesterday morning, and some changes have not yet had time to report. Early yesterday morning, Chief Jiang rushed to the patrol battalion camp with soldiers from the inspection department and announced the downsizing of the patrol battalion, which was very different from the previous plan to reduce the number of 400 people, and this time the entire patrol battalion was left with only Huang Ziren, Xing Zhongshan, Hu Xiaoyong, Liu Ge, and other people with the rank of military attaché to remain in their posts, and the rest of the people, including the tent room, men, grooms, and miscellaneous servants, all cleared out the establishment of the patrol battalion. ”

Xu Liang was stunned when he heard this, pondered for a long time, stroked his palms and chuckled: "I didn't expect Jiang Zhunan to do it so thoroughly, so to speak, Lao Ge, you and your second brother have been cleared out of the patrol camp?" ”

"yes." Xu Qing nodded.

"What's even more troublesome is," Ge Qiao continued: "When Jiang Zhunan was disbanded, he let out a message, saying that your Excellency promised in person at the gate of the county government that day that you would arrange for the disbandment of the patrol battalion to wait for the future to make a living, this trick is extremely vicious, my lord, where can we go to find the livelihood of these six or seven hundred people?" ”

Xu Liang chuckled and said, "Elder Ge doesn't need to panic, this official dared to say this that day, so he naturally had a plan." Hey, some people want to give the official a salary from the bottom of the kettle, but they would never think that the official is asking for it. As he spoke, he detailed his plans with the three people present.

Ge Qiao and the other three listened to it, put their hearts at ease, and laughed one after another.

In another two days, the businessmen who came and went to Jianchang County were surprised to find that the Jianchang Carriage and Horse Shop, which had disappeared after the death of the two brothers of the Tan family, had reopened again at some point, and the specifications were larger, and the business covered both land and water.

Two more days, more surprising things appeared, opened for more than 10 years of operation of the Jianchang Ximen Dart Bureau, although in recent years is not very sluggish, half-dead hanging, but still open, and the day of the head of the dart head Dai Feng announced in public that the West Gate Dart Bureau is closed, the property under the door of the staff merged into the world logistics, Dai Dart head himself is the second treasurer of the world.

When this heavy news was released, the people on the ground in Jianchang were lamenting Ge Qiao's old and spicy hands, and then there were rumors that it seemed that there was someone else behind the scenes who was all over the world, which made everyone very curious, who had such great ability to make Ge Qiao and Dai Feng surrender? For a while, the topic of who is the boss of the whole world is full of various teahouses and theaters in Jianchang, it is said that several painting boats on the Jianchang River are also discussing, although there are various versions, but there is no clear conclusion, some people may have guessed, but they are afraid of someone's power, and they dare not publicize it.

In comparison, the sudden dismissal of Yan Qi, the head catcher of Jianchang, did not cause much discussion.

On the evening of June 11 in the seventh year of the Apocalypse, the moon was dark and the wind was high, a small boat took advantage of the night to go down the Jianchang River into the Poyang Lake water system, and when passing through the Jianchang River checkpoint, the patrol battalion soldiers who went on board the boat to inspect entered the inner warehouse, and when Liu Ge, the captain who stepped into the warehouse first, saw the two rows of men in black clothes and black pants sitting in the warehouse, and couldn't help but be startled, and his right hand was held on the knife, and he looked at it with vigilance.

"Sentry Liu, don't come unharmed." A man in black at the head took off the cloak on his head and said with a smile on his face.

Liu Geding stared at it, surprised and delighted: "Are you ...... Yan Qi? Swallow catcher? Ha, it's you! ”

"It's me." Yan Qi said with a smile, and then pointed to the black-clothed man who was sitting quietly in the two rows: "These are not outsiders, brothers, get up and say hello to Officer Liu." ”

The two rows of black-clothed men stood up awkwardly, clasped their fists at Liu Ge in unison, and said, "See Lord Sentinel!" ”

Liu Ge was stunned when he heard this, and when he looked at it again, he was even more surprised, it turned out that these two rows of black-clothed men were the soldiers of the former patrol battalion who were disbanded a few days ago, and several of them were his own subordinates.

Liu Ge waved his hand again and again: "No need to be polite, heh, we have been demoted to captain now, hehe......" Laughing, laughing, Liu Ge suddenly woke up to something, and asked Yan Qidao in surprise: "Why are you on the same boat?" Did you go out on orders from your lords? ”

Yan Qi nodded.

Liu Ge's face was suddenly full of envy, and he asked: "What's the matter, it's so mysterious?" ”

Yan Qi smiled and shook his head: "The Buddha said: Don't say, don't say." ”
