Pingliang official Huang Daozhou has been busy counting and dividing acres recently, although there is the support of the two Tongzhi adults in Pingliang above, and there are officials at all levels below, but Huang Daozhou is still not at ease enough, and he is very dead on specific affairs, and he can't allow his subordinates to make a little difference.

After getting the report from the iron head, Huang Daozhou thought that something big had happened in the Liang army, put down the work in his hand, and hurriedly came to Xu Mansion to see Xu Liang.

When I arrived at Xu's mansion, I saw Xu Liang and his eldest lady Feng Suqin chatting in the study room that was warm like spring by charcoal fire. Feng Suqin was holding a few account books in her hand, presumably taking the opportunity to report to Xu Liang on the recent progress of Xu's business.

Feng Suqin saw Huang Dao Zhou come in in a hurry, put away the account book, smiled at Huang Dao Zhou, and exited the study, leaving the space for Huang Dao Zhou and Xu Liang.

Yahuan brought tea and snacks, Xu Liang beckoned Huang Daozhou to sit down, and saw Huang Daozhou approaching the charcoal stove, putting his hands on it and roasting the fire, with an expression of enjoyment, he couldn't help asking: "It's almost the wax moon soon, can Lord Huang prepare cotton clothes for the winter?" ”

Huang Daozhou smiled, "I bought one for the children, and the adults bought one a few years ago, and they can still wear it." ”

Xu Liang sighed: "I see that you are dressed very plainly now, the weather is so cold outside, beware of catching a cold." ”

Huang Daozhou smiled and roasted the fire greedily. Xu Liang sighed again: "At the beginning of the month, Luo Baiguan once gave a subsidy of two taels to a dozen taels of silver to the people below, I heard that you are only willing to take the lowest two taels of silver?" Why are you suffering? ”

Huang Daozhou said with a smile: "The lower officials themselves have a fortune, and besides, the adults do not treat the lower officials, and the three ladies in the house often go to the cold house." Every time I go, I send so many things, and I usually use enough time. ”

Xu Liang shook his head again and again. I have to persuade again, but Huang Daozhou doesn't want to be entangled in it. Diverting the topic, he asked, "My lord is in a hurry to summon the lower officials, but what's the urgency?" ”

Xu Liang smiled bitterly, showed the conclusion of Tsing Yiwei's investigation to Huang Daozhou, and told him his thoughts again.

Huang Daozhou looked at the case file in his hand carefully, thought about all kinds of possibilities in his heart, thought for a long time, and said to Xu Liang: "My lord, you are in big trouble. ”

"How?" Xu Liang asked.

Huang Dao pointed to the case file on Monday and said, "Judging from the case file." It seems highly likely. However, my lord, even if the situation is as my lord thinks, and the famous Han Wang Ye wants to plot a rebellion, but this kind of thing, if there is no holy intent in the hands of the current saint, the lord must not touch it. ”

Why is that? When the official found out about the changes in the Han Palace, couldn't he take action, but let it do whatever he wanted? Xu Liang exclaimed in surprise.

"Your Excellency." Huang Daozhou pointed to the top of his head and said, "You and I are just officials of the court, and we can manage the mountains and rivers of Pingliang City and tens of thousands of people." But he can't control the feudal kings who divide the places. ”

Xu Liang said: "Then the official will report these clues to the court, and let the emperor send someone down to investigate thoroughly." ”

Huang Daozhou shook his head and said, "This is not appropriate. Adults, you think that you are from the four products of Pingliang Tongzhi. It is not part of the surveillance system, as evidence. If it is up to you to submit it to the court, it will not be said what the outcome will be. How many people will be disgusted by your presentation of evidence alone? There are criminal departments in the court, Dali Temple, Inspectorate, Dongchang and Jinyiwei, these people have not been able to detect King Han's movements, and let you find out? When this matter is put on the surface, the faces of these people will surely be gloomy. And those vassal kings, they are in the same breath with each other, my lord, you expose a king of Han, it is equivalent to being an enemy of the entire royal family, and these people will guard against you in the future. The court officials hate you, and the clans around the country guard against you, how should you gain a foothold in the court in the future? ”

Xu Liang listened to Huang Daozhou's words, and didn't expect that there would be so many Dharma Daos in it, even if he was bold, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He was not convinced, and still argued with himself: "At least, the emperor should be very satisfied." ”

Huang Daozhou shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Not really. ”

Xu Liangdeng's eyes widened and he asked in disbelief, "Isn't it?" I, Xu Liang, found out the corrupt elements hidden in the clan for the emperor and cleared the tumor of the Ming Dynasty, isn't the emperor happy? ”

Huang Daozhou looked at Xu Liang and saw that his puzzled expression did not seem to be fake, so he said patiently: "Today, he is arbitrary, young and vigorous, and his attitude is not easy to grasp. However, throughout the dynasties, such clan rebellions are not uncommon, and the attitude of those in power is mostly to turn big things into small things. The so-called family ugliness should not be publicized, as long as it is not a big mistake, most of those vassal kings who committed crimes have cut off the throne and are locked up in the Zongren Mansion. And those officials who exposed the rebellion of the feudal king, although they were able to get some small profits at that time, were ultimately marginalized and difficult to rank in the center. ”

Xu Liang sat sneering, very depressed, thinking that he had discovered a shocking secret, but when he analyzed it on Monday, he realized that what he was holding in his hand was a hot potato.

Huang Daozhou said so much, his mouth was dry, and he drank two cups of hot tea in a row. looked at Xu Liang, smiled slightly, and said, "My lord, in fact, this matter is also very easy to handle. ”

"Huh?" Xu Liang raised his head suddenly, "Do you have a good way?" ”

Huang Daozhou held the teacup in his hand, felt the heat, and said quietly: "The lower officials heard that the emperor was very concerned about the death of the prince of the East Detective Factory, and specially sent Qiao Yunsheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Zhang Nianyun, the imperial historian of the capital, to investigate the case. These two are ministers, and they have the right to inquire about any abnormal situation in the local area. ”

Huang Daozhou's eyes were on the hand holding the teacup, he looked at it for a while, and said, "If the two Qincha inadvertently discovered some abnormal actions of the Han Wangfu in the process of investigating the case, then no matter what the result is, it has nothing to do with you, my lord." ”

Xu Liang suddenly realized, looked up and saw that Huang Daozhou's eyes had been staying on his own hands like withered branches, and the corners of his mouth had a wicked smile. I couldn't help but say secretly, I didn't expect that Huang Daozhou looked dignified, and it turned out that his heart was also wilted and wilted, why didn't he find it before?

"Brother Huang is talented, and the younger brother admires it." Xu Liang stepped forward and stood in front of Huang Daozhou and gave a deep salute.

Huang Daozhou stepped to the side, waved his hand again and again, and said, "Did the lower official say anything?" Xia Guan didn't say anything. ”

Only then did Xu Liang discover that Huang Daozhou was not only wilted, but also a little shameless.

After sending Huang Daozhou away, Xu Liang instructed Feng Suqin: "In a few days, you can take the time to go to Lord Huang's mansion and send a few sets of cotton clothes to his house, and then send some rice and noodles, and firewood over." ”

Feng Suqin said with a smile: "These things, even if you don't talk about them, our three sisters will often go." ”

Xu Liang said solemnly: "This time is different, the purchase of things is more grand, and it is necessary to show my sincerity." ”

"Oh......" Feng Suqin nodded in response.

After listening to Huang Daozhou's advice, Xu Liang asked Tsing Yiwei to suspend the investigation of No. 17 Changle Street, but secretly strengthened the monitoring of Han Wangfu and Anton Zhongwei, and secretly detained the relevant witnesses involved in the incident, and patiently waited for the arrival of the minister.

Soon after, the official text of the court reached Pingliang Mansion. In order to welcome his arrival, Hong Chengchou, a political officer in Shaanxi, deliberately put aside the affairs of Yansui and rushed to Pingliang Mansion in advance.

And things related to Jinyiwei have also spread to the officialdom of Pingliang Mansion one after another. It is said that because of Wei Zhongxian's matter, Long Yan was furious, and the commander of the Jinyi Guard made Luo Yangxing receive a sturdy court staff outside the noon gate, and the Jinyi Guard, who participated in the pursuit of Wei Zhongxian, all lost their heads, but there were exceptions, Xu Changqing, a thousand households in Xi'an, was able to save a life under the thoughtfulness of Luo's commander, and sent Liaodong to fill the army.

Standing at the east gate of Pingliang City, Xu Liang accompanied Hong Chengchou to stand by the city gate and wait for the arrival of the minister, and whispered with Hong Shenzheng about the big things of Jinyiwei, sighing and sighing.

Zhang Fengqi, the prefect of Pingliang next to Hong Shenzheng, looked ruddy and radiant.

It was almost noon, and the honor guard of the Qin Cha finally arrived outside Pingliang City, and the officials greeted him. Xu Liang noticed that Governor Zhang respectfully saluted Qiao Yunsheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and then turned to Zhang Nianyun, the imperial history of the capital, with a taste of affection in his respect.

When Xu Liang greeted the two envoys, Qiao Yunsheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, smiled and nodded, but Zhang Nianyun, the imperial historian of the capital, pretended not to see it, and turned sideways to talk to Hong Shenzheng.

Xu Liang had a smile on his face, and waited patiently, and when Zhang Nianyun, the imperial history of the capital, finally turned his head helplessly, Xu Liang said with a smile: "Xiaguan Pingliang knows Xu Liang with him, and he has seen Lord Qincha, and Lord Zhang has worked hard all the way. ”

Zhang Yushi twitched, nodded slightly, didn't speak, and turned his face to the next official.

When the officials hugged the two envoys into the city, Hong Shenzheng said to Xu Liang with a sigh: "I haven't seen you for a few months, Xu Liang, your cultivation of kung fu is becoming more and more exquisite." In the face of Lord Zhang's cold face, Xu Liang can still maintain a respectful and smiling face, and it is not simple to be in this heat. ”

Xu Liang chuckled, didn't explain, and accompanied Hong to the prefect's yamen. looked coldly at Zhang Nianyun, who was walking in front of him and holding the shelf of the Imperial Palace, and sneered in his heart: After you receive the hot potato from the official, see how calm you are?
