It was a sunny day, and although the sun was not very warm in winter, it was still somewhat warm on people. It is precisely because of that trace of warmth that the people walking on Pingliang Street have a lot more children than usual, and the streets of Pingliang City are also a lot more lively.

The main street from the prefect's yamen to the east gate is even more lively. Although there were soldiers from the Pingliang guerrilla camp guarding the road, the people who were watching the excitement on both sides of the road still gathered several layers, and those who crowded into the front firmly guarded their critical positions, and those who gathered in the back stretched their necks and stared intently at the long line of officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp who slowly walked by.

What they saw was not the officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp in bright armor, but the two black carriages in the team, the curtains around the carriage were closed, and they couldn't see the objects inside, but many people knew that the people inside were locked up, one was Ye Yanqing, the commander of Anton Zhongwei, and the other was Huang Ziren, the commander of Tongzhi.

Today is the day when the two of them are escorted to Beijing.

Two carriages walked slowly, causing a burst of shouting and scolding along the road, and a few brave spectators threw the stinky eggs, rotten vegetable leaves, and rancid food that had been prepared on the carriage, and scolded in their mouths: "Dog officer! ”

In a three-story restaurant near the East City Gate, Xu Liang sat at the window and could see the movement on the street downstairs clearly.

Xu Liang frowned, but didn't say anything.

The two people who accompany him, one is Pingliang Tongzhi Lu Yifa, and the other is Pingliang Pusher Huang Daozhou. Xu Liang invited these two officials to a banquet today, firstly, to have a small gathering with Lu and Huang, who supported him, and secondly. It is also to apologize to Lu Yifa for Huang Daozhou, in order to help Xu Liang set up a bureau. led Qin Cha Zhang Yushi step by step to check the aspects designed by Xu Liang, and Lu Yifa really did a lot of work. also suffered a lot of white eyes, and Huang Daozhou almost hit Lu Yifa for this.

Xu Liang was afraid that the two backbones of his subordinates would cause any unnecessary estrangement, so he deliberately brought the two together, but he didn't know why, he deliberately chose today, and deliberately peached this restaurant near the East City Gate.

The three of them quietly watched as the two carriages full of all kinds of dirty things slowly walked out of the city gate, and under the escort of 300 officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp, they went up to the official road and disappeared at the end of the official road.

"The two Qincha are going back to Beijing." Huang Daozhou retracted his gaze and said.

Xu Liang nodded slowly. chuckled: "I didn't expect Qiao Shangshu to wake up so quickly, and actually came up with such a move, he wants to return to the capital, and the arrangement behind us will not be used at all." ”

Huang Daozhou sighed: "When Xia Guan was just a jinshi, Qiao Yunsheng had been an official in the court for more than 40 years, and with his vision and skill, it was not unusual for him to come up with this trick and get out of the matter. King Han rebelled. With just half a plausible dragon robe, it is not possible to convict the dignified Han Wangye, and there is still a long period of time from the investigation to the conviction, and it is reasonable for Qiao Shangshu to ask the court to send another person to investigate. It's just that Qiao Shangshu is waiting for him to return to the capital. Adults are a little troublesome. ”

"yes." Xu Liang sighed, "Jiang is still old and spicy, this is really not wrong at all." Qiao Shangshu casually made a move. We're just going to stare at it. ”

Pingliang Tongzhi Lu Yifa said: "My lord, Qiao Shangshu's original purpose of coming to Pingliang was to verify the cause of the death of the prince. Now that he is in a hurry to return to Beijing, the case of the prince can be concluded as soon as possible. ”

"It's just that he's back in Beijing this time. It is very likely that the case of Han Wang's rebellion will be transferred to Jinyiwei or Dongji Factory for investigation, and we can't interfere with these two groups of people. Xu Liang said, "I finally dug a pit, but in the end, I was able to watch others perform on the side, and I was a little disappointed." ”

Huang Daozhou and Lu Yifa listened to it and knew that Xu Liang was joking, so they laughed cooperatively.

After laughing for a while, the three of them served wine and food. After a while, Xu Liang said: "Now Anton Zhongwei and Han Wangfu will not be able to threaten us for a while, and there is only one Zhang Fengqi left." In the case of Xichengmen, the warrant of the prefect Zhang played a crucial role, as long as we poke out this evidence at the right time, Zhang Fengqi, the prefect, will be the end. At that time, Pingliang Mansion will be the world of the three of us. Zodiac Zhou's ideas and plans that are full of your mind, and this official guarantees that they will all be realized. ”

Xu Liang's eyebrows fluttered and he was inspiring, and Lu Tongzhi smiled lightly. However, Huang Daozhou would not be in high spirits, looked at Xu Liang and Lu Yifa, and said worriedly: "My lord, it's better for Governor Zhang to not move him for now." ”

Xu Liang asked in surprise, "Why is this?" ”

Huang Daozhou sighed and said: "On the third day of the first month of November, the Holy Lord once again organized the court push, and the mentor of the Zhang Governor's Mansion, Cao Yubian, the imperial historian of the Zuodu, successfully entered the cabinet and became a cabinet scholar. The adults have already offended Qiao Shangshu and Zhang Yushi, if Cao Yubian, who is a cabinet scholar, is offended again, my lord, our future will be very bad. ”

Xu Liang was stunned, he didn't expect that Cao Yubian, the imperial historian of Zuodu, would become a cabinet scholar so soon. Cao's heightened position is obviously not a good thing for Xu Liang. Xu Liang himself has gone through hardships for a small official hat of the Pingliang Prefect, and he is still half a step away. And Cao Yubian's old coffin scoop in just half a year, he actually jumped from the imperial history of Zuodu to become a cabinet scholar.

People are more angry than people! It can also be seen from this that what merit and political achievements are all bullshit, and having a holy family is the only way to get promoted and make a fortune!

In a blink of an eye, Xu Liang thought a lot in his heart. Huang Daozhou and Lu Yifa both quietly looked at Xu Liang, whose face changed, waiting for him to wake up from his contemplation.

Xu Liang's face gradually became firm, raised his eyes and smiled at Huang Daozhou and Lu Yifa, and said indifferently: "If there are more lice, it is not itchy, and if there are more debts, you will not worry!" Anyway, Old Man Cao has been looking at this official for a long time, even if we don't make any moves, Old Man Cao will never let me go, rather than this, it is better to pull Zhang Fengqi off the horse. In this way, when the official is suppressed, he will not feel too much loss. ”

Huang Daozhou was stunned, looked at Xu Liang and smiled. Lu Yifa couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "Zhang Fengqi, Zhang Fengqi, you can't grab anyone's position, you have to rob Xu Liang?" ”

And so it went on for another two days.

Qiao Yunsheng and Zhang Nianyun suddenly convened a meeting of officials in Pingliang City, at which Qiao Shangshu briefly revealed the results of the investigation of the case of Wang Gonggong, which was purely accidental, and there was no human factor! So that the officials can rest assured.

When the officials breathed a sigh of relief, Qiao Shangshu announced an even more exciting news, King Han had conspired against the case, and it had been handed over to the Holy Judge, and he and Zhang Yushi had been on hold in Pingliang for several days, and it was time to return to Beijing. Even the days have been chosen, on the fourth day of December, everything is fine, it is appropriate to travel, and it is appropriate to get married.

The officials were overjoyed, and then realized that their demeanor was wrong, and put on a look of retention, and asked the two Qincha to stay for a few more days and experience the special dishes of Pingliang City.

However, the two envoys had already made up their minds, and the officials had no choice but to give up. That night, Zhang Fengqi, the prefect of Pingliang, chartered the most luxurious restaurant in Pingliang City, and was the farewell banquet of Lord Qincha.

The evening was enjoyable.

The fourth day of the twelfth month came very quickly, and since the night before, a light snow suddenly fell in Pingliangfu, and in the morning, the snow showed signs of getting bigger and bigger, and the grass was covered with a thin layer of white.

Xu Liang got up early in the morning, and after grooming, he put on a cotton jacket, cotton pants, a mink cape, and a pair of cowhide boots on his feet.

He slowly and methodically danced a set of introductory knife techniques in the cleared field, and practiced a set of knife techniques that Dai Yingying had taught a few days ago. It is said that Xu Liang's introductory knife technique has been practiced to Xu Liang's so-called 360 degrees without dead ends, and even Dai Yingying was surprised.

Slowly dancing with a knife, and then slowly drinking porridge, with the fritters that had just been cooked, Xu Liang ate sweetly.

"Xianggong, aren't you going to send off the two Qincha lords today?" Dai Yingying stared at the half of the yellow fritter in Xu Liang's hand for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking.

"Yes, Xianggong, you eat too slowly!" Lou Xian'er also followed, "Sister Feng and I have already eaten, so we will wait for you." ”

Xu Liang glared at Lou Xian'er and sighed: "Alas, it's rare to be idle and savor a fritter, and the beautiful artistic conception is interrupted by the two of you." ”

"Hee-hee." Lou Xian'er was not afraid of Xu Liang at all.

Xu Liang shook his head and said: "The two Qincha don't wait to see Xianggong and me, when they leave, many officials in Pingliang City will go to see each other, so I won't go to add to the heart of Lord Qincha." ”

After Xu Liang finished speaking, he swallowed the cold fritters in his hand, and reached out to get another one on the plate.

At this moment, Pingliang Push Officer Huang Daozhou rushed into the house, and shouted at Xu Liang out of breath: "Big, my lord, it's not good, Guyuan has mutinied!" (To be continued......)
