The man was silent for a while, and then sighed, "Those who are about to die, don't mention the past." Now that you know our family's surname, you will call our family Father-in-law Liu in the future. Hearing others call Father-in-law Liu for most of his life, no one called him for a while, but he was uncomfortable. ”

Xu Liang chuckled and called, "Gonggong Liu." ”

Grandpa Liu grinned happily.

Xu Liang was thinking, which yamen's father-in-law Liu is this father-in-law Liu? Listening to his tone, it seems that he is a person who can often see the emperor, and his original identity must be not low. I only hate that I know too little about the affairs of the court, and I can't even count the number of big eunuchs in the Apocalypse Court.

Chang Prison didn't mean to get along with the money, and according to Xu Liang's instructions, the food sent in from outside changed from one to two. Father-in-law Liu also kept his promises, whenever he and Xu Liang ate separately across a wall, Father-in-law Liu would intermittently talk to Xu Liang about some court things while eating, and the title of Xu Liang also changed from little brother to Brother Xu, which has the meaning of intimacy. After chatting about the three divisions and six departments of the Ming Dynasty for a few days in a row, Gonggong Liu couldn't help but sigh to Xu Liang: "Brother Xu, our family is now a little suspicious of how you got into this exam?" Could it be that the examiner was a relative of yours back then? ”

Xu Liang was embarrassed, and said: "My father-in-law made fun of it, and I didn't hide it from my father-in-law, but half of Xu's move was donated with silver." Xu Liang didn't truthfully say that he became an official by cheating in the examination room, he could only lie and say that he donated it.

Gonggong Liu naturally knew the doorway here, nodded slowly, and did not delve into it.

For more than ten days, Xu Liang was safely locked in the Jinyi Weidi cell. During this time, the prisoners were brought in, and the prisoners who had been held were taken out, and occasionally the wails of the prisoners as they were tortured could be heard. Gonggong Liu was taken out by the captains of the Jinyi Guard once, he was taken away in the morning, and he was sent back in the evening, Xu Liang paid special attention to his body, there were no blood stains on his clothes, and the person's spirit was normal, obviously he was not escorted out to be tortured.

But wasn't he taken somewhere? Xu Liang was curious, and once inquired on the side, but Gonggong Liu kept silent. When the head of the cell saw Gonggong Liu again, he was much more respectful.

On this day, Chang Cellhead brought food, and Xu Liang and Liu Gonggong opened it and ate it separately.

The two of them were half-full, and Gonggong Liu began to tell Xu Liang about the affairs of the court, "Last time, we talked about the university scholar Qian Longxi, and today we will tell you about Qiao Yunsheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department." Qiao Yunsheng, the word Jifu, a native of Luoyang, the twenty-year Jinshi of Wanli ......"

Gonggong Liu's voice was unhurried, and there was a bit of a subdued and frustrated taste, as if the gentleman of the private school was teaching poetry. He talked unhurriedly for a while, talking while eating, and seeing that he was full, he suddenly realized why Xu Liang on the side was so silent, and he didn't answer, and was about to ask.

"Hehe, haha!" Xu Liang smiled happily on the side, "It's really heaven and soul I Xu Liang, haha!" ”

When Gonggong Liu heard this, he asked inexplicably, "Brother Xu, what are you laughing at?" ”

Xu Liang put the note wrapped in oil paper under the oil lamp, and carefully looked at the small block letters on the note as thin as tadpoles, and saw that nothing was missing, so he put the note on the oil lamp and lit it.

I returned to the table and looked at the half-bitten fried dumpling skin, and this note was taken out of this fried dumpling. The fried dumplings are ordinary fried dumplings, with a slightly yellow and wrinkled skin, and some of them are burnt on one side, and the appearance is really not good. However, at this time, Xu Liang seemed to be no different from the best delicacy in the world, he carefully picked it up and put it in his mouth, chewed it carefully, and tasted it and swallowed it.

Thinking of the information that Feng Suqin uploaded on the note, Xu Liang felt a lot more relaxed. It turned out that after Xu Liang Tong Guò Chang Cell Head and Yan Qi connected with each other, Feng Suqin and others, who had already arrived in the capital, were thinking about how to unknowingly deliver the latest news to Xu Liang in prison. After a few days of open investigation and secret visits, I finally found out the shop called Weiyuanlou that Chang Cell Boss often went to buy food, so overnight, the owner of the shop quietly changed. The person who framed Xu Liang has also inquired clearly, it is a Shaanxi superintendent named Shi Junsheng, and he is accused of three crimes, one is to forcibly requisition rice and grain from merchants, causing public resentment, the second is to privately destroy the courtyard of the Han Wangfu, and there is no court, and the third is to recruit private troops, which is suspected of being opposed. The most fatal thing is the third one, the private army naturally refers to the Liang army. Xu Liang was a civilian official, and he had no right to recruit troops without his permission. This Shi Yu Shi Xu Liang has never heard of, and he has seen it, if he wants to say that there is any personal grudge, it is absolutely impossible to say, that is, someone instructed him. Thinking of Zhao Yongyong, the commander of the guards of the Han Wangfu that he saw on the way to Beijing, Xu Liang could guess with his heels that this was the revenge of the Han Wangfu.

Then there is good news, Feng Suqin has passed through various ways, and has successively passed through the Jinyi Wei Command Luo Yangxing, Luo Commander has promised to suspend the case, and contacted the Ministry of Officials Wenxuan Si Xunzhong, Xu Liang's old superior Wang Xian, figured out that Guò He and his relatives in the palace opened up the relationship in the palace, and also explained to the Pingliang prefect Hong Chengchou, Hong Zhifu promised to go to the court in the near future, admitting that Xu Liang was instructed by himself to recruit soldiers on the spot, and recently caught up with the younger brother of Qiao Yunsheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, If you are active again, you will be able to talk to the book of the Criminal Department......

A thousand words are turned into a sentence, Xianggong, you can stay at ease, and you will be able to release it in a few days.

"Brother Xu, what are you laughing at?" On the side, Gonggong Liu was asking again.

Xu Liang came back to his senses and smiled happily: "Ah, haha, what my father-in-law just said is really wonderful, Xu Mou's heart yearns for it, and he laughs." ”

Father-in-law Liu choked and said, "However, our family didn't say anything interesting. We're talking about people! ”

Xu Liang said embarrassedly: "Ah, it's a person, it's even better...... Uh, who did the father-in-law just talk about? ”

Gonggong Liu immediately understood that Xu Liang was not listening to him at all, and said angrily: "Dare to love our family's tongue is in vain!" What our family just said is the current Shangshu Qiao Yunsheng of the Criminal Department! ”

Xu Liang was stunned, clapped his hands and said happily: "Qiao Yunsheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department? This, what does it matter to this person, whether Xu Mou's grievance can be revealed, maybe it all depends on Qiao Shangshu. Father-in-law, please tell me about this person in detail. ”

"We've already told you."

"I didn't hear ......"

"That's it."

"I heard it clearly, but I forgot a lot of ......"

"Humph!"

"Father-in-law! Grandpa Liu! Good father-in-law...... You can do it and tell me again. ”

On one side, Gonggong Liu was annoyed that Xu Liang didn't listen to himself carefully, and wanted to keep his mouth shut angrily. On the other side, Xu Liang was anxious to know the situation of Qiao Yunsheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and pleaded softly.

This strange scene surprised the guard who came in to pack the food box, and when he collected the food box and went out, the guard seemed to think of something, and suddenly looked disgusted, and he couldn't wait to throw the food box in his hand together.

Father-in-law Liu couldn't stand Xu Liang's stalking in the end, and begged fiercely, and said again what he had said during the meal. To the surprise of Gonggong Liu, Gonggong Liu himself said that it tasted like chewing wax, but Xu Liang listened very carefully, and asked a few questions for the first time during the period.

It was dark, and in the attic of the backyard of Weiyuan Building, Feng Suqin and Dai Yingying, two beauties, looked at Chang Celltou from the window with a tangled face, wrapped the handles of the two food boxes in white cloth with a strange face, and walked out of the kitchen of Weiyuan Building.

Feng Suqin said: "This cell boss is really black-hearted, he took seven or eight dollars of silver for food, and he actually asked Yan Qi to repay fifteen taels!" He did such a good job without a foundation! ”

Dai Yingying's mouth pursed slightly, and she chuckled: "Sister, don't be angry, let's think that this money is for Xu Liang to spend, and we will feel a lot better." ”

Feng Suqin smiled when she heard this, nodded and said, "It's the same." Alas, I just hope that Qiao Shangshu is also a corrupt official who loves money, and the prince can come out as soon as possible. ”

"By the way, it's been almost a month since Miss Xian'er left the Xu Mansion, so it's time to come to the capital, right?" Feng Suqin asked.

Speaking of the fairy in the building, Dai Yingying frowned slightly and said, "It should be soon." When we left Xu's Mansion, the fox spirit himself said that he wanted to go back to Loujiabao, saying that he wanted to help find out who was framing Xu Liang. Hmph, in my opinion, she probably took the opportunity to escape back to Loujiabao. ”

Feng Suqin glanced at Dai Yingying, recalled Lou Xian'er's youthful and agile appearance, and matched Dai Yingying's mouth to listen to the fox spirit, so she chuckled: "I think that fairy girl is also very straightforward, how can you say that people are fox spirits?" ”

Dai Yingying snorted from the tip of her nose and pouted: "Sister, didn't you see her sassy appearance in front of Xu Liang, scolding her for being a fox spirit is light." ”

Feng Suqin listened, sighed lightly for no reason, and said seriously to Dai Yingying: "Miss Dai, if the Xianggong can get out of danger safely this time, then ......"

"What...... Is it? Dai Yingying asked, her heart was like a deer, and her face was swollen and red.

"Then, I'll let the prime minister welcome you through the door. Uh, are you still willing to marry into the Xu family? Feng Suqin said.

Dai Yingying's face suddenly turned red like a drop of blood, her face was red, her ears were red, she snorted, covered her cheeks with her hands, and didn't know how to answer for a while.

Feng Suqin was not in a hurry, the corners of her mouth were lightly raised, and she carefully looked at the embarrassment of this female master with strong kung fu.

The two of them didn't speak in front of the window for a while, and the room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop on the ground.

At this moment, the sound of rapid footsteps sounded in the direction of the stairs.

"Young lady!" Xing Zhongshan's angry voice sounded at the staircase, and Dai Feng, the second shopkeeper in the world, followed closely behind Xing Zhongshan and also went upstairs.

Feng Suqin and Dai Yingying woke up, Feng Suqin turned to Xing Zhongshan and smiled: "General Xing is back, and Shopkeeper Dai is also back?" ”

Xing and Dai both stepped forward to salute Feng Suqin. Dai Yingying took advantage of this gap to cover her face with her hands and walked quickly past the two of them and went downstairs. Dai Fenghu glanced at his daughter's back suspiciously, and secretly wondered: "Yingying, what's wrong, her face is so red?" ”

Feng Suqin said: "How is it, what are the gains?" ”

Xing Zhongshan shook his head and said, "There is no progress on the general's side. That Qiao Shangshu didn't show up in Qiao's Mansion these days. But there is a situation on Brother Dai's side. ”

Feng Suqin asked Dai Feng: "Shopkeeper Dai, then tell me, what did you find?" Well? Wearing a shopkeeper? ”

Dai Feng was still muttering in his heart, and suddenly he was slapped on the waist by Xing Zhongshan, and suddenly came back to his senses, and arched his hand to Feng Suqin and said: "The official of the Inspectorate didn't have a chance to meet, but the brother who went with the old man on the way back recognized a person, and the old man listened to the brother solemnly, and felt that it was necessary to say that he knew with the young lady." ”

"Oh, who is it?" Feng Suqin asked.

"Zhao Yongyong, the commander of the guards of the Han Palace."
