Until Xu Liang said goodbye to Governor Liu, Xu Liang could not fully recover from the shock. The sudden change in Governor Liu's attitude towards Xu Liang surprised and surprised Xu Liang. Governor Liu's words meant that he was willing to ask Xu Liang to pay more attention to the political affairs of Pingliang Mansion after Governor Liu went out with Governor Wu.

Governor Liu's intentions were so obvious that Xu Liang was a little flattered. However, Xu Liang still had a certain degree of wariness of Governor Liu, even after Governor Liu went on the expedition, there was still a Master Lu in the prefect's yamen, who was completely Governor Liu's spokesperson. At this time, Xu Liang naturally would not hastily say that he accepted or refused, and was vague about the past.

In the front yard of the prefect's yamen, He Cheng, the magistrate of Zhenyuan, and Mao Yujie, the magistrate of Chongxin, had been waiting there for a long time, and when they saw Xu Liang coming out, they greeted them with sincere smiles on their faces.

"Xiaguan see Lord Xu." The two said in unison.

Xu Liang said with a smile: "Lord He, Lord Mao, they are all their own brothers, so there is no need to be polite." ”

He Cheng smiled and said, "I heard that the adult has returned to Pingliang, Xiaguan and Brother Mao should have visited the adult a long time ago, but I heard that the adult was seriously injured, and I was worried that it would affect the adult's rest......"

Xu Liang waved his hand and said with a pretended disgust: "Lord He is too unsightly when he says this. The door of my Xu Mansion is open for my own people at any time. In the future, if Lord He and Lord Mao have anything, no matter when, they can come to the door. ”

When He Cheng and Mao Yujie heard this, they were both grateful.

Mao Yujie said: "Xiaguan and Lord He are both ruling the county for the first time, and they are terrified in their hearts, and they have many ideas to ask your lord for advice. ”

Xu Liang glanced at the surrounding soldiers. Waving his hand, he said: "There are many people here, and it is not a place to talk." The two of you will go to my house with the official, and we will close the door and talk in detail. ”

Present. Xu Liang, He Cheng, and Mao Yujie jointly walked out of the prefect's yamen. When I walked to the main gate, I suddenly heard the soldiers guarding the door shouting loudly: "You two are not bothered, Lord Zhongcheng has already spoken, and I don't have time to pay attention to you." ”

At the gate, two men in long robes stood at the main gate of the prefect's yamen with embarrassed faces, ashamed and angry in the face of the pro-soldiers.

Xu Liang raised his eyes to see that it was Shi Junsheng, the former magistrate of the former Zhenyuan County, and Qin Feng, the former Chongxin Zhi County, who had been dismissed.

Shi Junsheng was dressed in a dark blue Confucian shirt. His face was no longer cold, and his face was dry. Shi Junsheng took the hand of his own soldier and begged: "Master Jun, please ask Lord Zhongcheng to pay tribute again, and say that Shi Junsheng, the former magistrate of Qianzhenyuan, has something important to see." ”

The pro-soldier rolled his eyes and sneered: "Master Shi, oh no, it should be Shi Bairen, don't you know you as the magistrate of the former Zhenyuan?" We adults said it. Missing! Please come back, both of you. ”

Shi Junsheng was annoyed in his heart: It was really a tiger falling in Pingyang and being bullied by dogs, half a month ago, he entered and exited the prefect's yamen like a flat ground, and these soldiers guarding the door were respectful every time they saw him, and now he lost his official position and lost his position. These soldiers and ruffians look down on people!

Shi Junsheng's face turned pale and blue for a while, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Qin Feng, the former county magistrate next to him, was full of bitterness, and he lost his official position for half a month. It can be said that he has tasted the warmth and coldness of human affection, and has fallen from a high-ranking Qipinzhi County to a common people who are avoided by everyone in Pingliang officialdom like a plague god.

Qin Feng was from the arrogant attitude of his own soldiers. understood that Liu Zhilun, the governor of Shaanxi, was deliberately avoiding himself, so he sighed. stepped forward and said to Shi Junsheng: "Brother Shi, I'll forget it today, let's come back another day." ”

When Shi Junsheng heard this, the anger on his face was even worse, and he flicked his sleeves and said coldly: "Come back another day?" Qin Feng, after we lost our officials, everyone avoided us like a plague god, we asked to see Governor Liu at the gate of the prefect's office for a few days, and stayed in the inn every day, and it cost nearly a hundred taels of silver to wrap the CD, if Liu Zhongcheng didn't give an explanation, how could I give up! ”

Qin Feng choked, in fact, he had just arrived in Shaanxi not long after taking office, and he was a newcomer to the officialdom, and he spent a lot of money on weekdays, and he didn't have much money in deposit.

Qin Feng knew that he had offended Xu Liang, and it was almost impossible to turn the tables in Shaanxi, so he had already had the intention of retreating, but Shi Junsheng kept holding on and refused to give up.

"Yo ho, the tone is quite rushing!" After listening to Shi Junsheng's cruel words, the soldiers couldn't help but smile coldly, revealing a mouthful of Huang Sensen's teeth, stepped forward with their heads held high, stared at Shi Junsheng, and said: "Dare to make a noise at the door of the prefect's yamen!" Hehe, you can see it if you want to see it? You might as well sue you for two, don't think that you are still the county lord who was high in the past, and now in our eyes, you are not even as good as the ordinary people! Your Excellency has spoken, get out of here as soon as possible! Make noise in front of the prefect's yamen again, beware of Lao Tzu arresting you two Diao people and throwing them in prison for dinner! ”

The pro-soldier looked disdainful, the left one Diao Min, and the other Diao Min, Shi Junsheng was annoyed when he heard it, he trembled and pointed at the pro-soldier, angry: "You, you, you are a good little soldier!" ”

"What?" The pro-soldier snorted coldly and glared at Shi Junsheng with threatening eyes.

"Uh-huh!"

Pro-soldiers and Shi Junsheng, Qin Feng heard a majestic voice coming from behind the main gate, and turned his head to look in unison. Seeing that it was Pingliang and knowing that Xu Liang had arrived, the soldiers screamed strangely, turned around sharply, nodded and walked to Xu Liang, and smiled flatteringly: "I've seen Lord Xu in my humble position!" My lord, are you going back? Humble duty to give you an old horse? ”

Xu Liang glanced at his own soldiers lightly, and said in a deep voice: "No need. ”

"Hey." The soldiers nodded and bowed, and when they saw Xu Liang's eyes fall on Shi Junsheng and Qin Feng, they hurriedly stepped aside and stood respectfully.

Shi Junsheng and Qin Feng didn't expect to see Xu Liang here, and the two looked at Xu Liang with resentful eyes, but they dared not speak out. Seeing He Cheng and Mao Yujie standing respectfully behind Xu Liang again, it was like seeing the enemy who killed his father, staring at He Cheng and Mao Yujie deadly.

Xu Liang looked at Shi Junsheng, then at Qin Feng, nodded, walked straight over, went down the steps, stopped again, and said lightly to the two: "Now the ground in Shaanxi is not very peaceful, and the two of you are no longer officials, so you should leave as soon as possible." Return to your hometown. ”

After that, he boarded the carriage that had been waiting outside the prefect's yamen for a long time.

Several Tsing Yi guards guarded. When he was about to leave, Shi Junsheng shouted in a resentful voice: "Xu Liang! Don't think you're in Pingliang to cover the sky with one hand! Liu Zhilun can't handle you. I'll go to the capital to sue you!" I must make your ugly deeds public to the world, so that everyone in the world knows your ugly face! ”

Shi Junsheng shouted hiss, and the faces of everyone in front of the yamen changed greatly, staring at the carriage nervously, everyone knew that Xu Liang was an extremely strong figure in Pingliang, and now Shi Junsheng actually dared to argue with Xu Liang in public, who knew if Xu Liang would make any amazing moves.

However, there was silence in the carriage, and after a while, the guards who drove the carriage whipped their horses. Leave without saying a word.

At the entrance of the yamen, Shi Junsheng stared at Xu Liang's carriage with red silk eyes and disappeared around the corner of the street, and suddenly laughed.

Seeing this, the soldiers guarding the gate of the yamen said strangely: "This person, can't he be crazy?" ”

Qin Feng was also taken aback when he saw Shi Junsheng like this, looked at Shi Junsheng suspiciously, and said, "Brother Shi, what's wrong with you?" What are you laughing at? ”

Shi Junsheng's laughter grew louder and louder. I couldn't straighten my waist with a straight smile, and I couldn't breathe. He put one hand on Qin Feng's arm, swayed to his feet, and said to Qin Feng, "Have you seen it?" He was scared! ”

"Who?" Qin Feng asked, suddenly understood, and looked at Shi Junsheng in horror. Said: "You mean Xu Liang?" ”

"Not bad! It's that Xu Liang is scared! Shi Junsheng's resentful voice seemed to come from underground, "He is afraid that I will expose his greedy and lustful face!" He was afraid! Hahaha! ”

The look of horror on Qin Feng's face was even worse. Helping Shi Junsheng to eat, he said, "Brother Shi, I'll help you go back to the inn first." "Say it. Helping Shi Junsheng, who was still sneering, walked in the direction of the inn where he was staying.

Shi Junsheng indifferently let Qin Feng help him go, and suddenly, Shi Junsheng broke free of Qin Feng's arm, stared at Qin Feng and asked, "I want to expose Xu Liang's crimes, so that he has nothing to hide and his reputation is ruined!" Brother Qin, are you going to act with me?"

"I ......" Qin Feng was shocked and squeaked.

For Xu Liang, meeting Shi Junsheng and Qin Feng at the gate of the prefect's office can only be regarded as an insignificant episode, with Xu Liang's status and power, Shi Junsheng and Qin Feng, who are already ordinary people, are no longer enough to pose any threat to Xu Liang. Regarding Shi Junsheng's screaming, Xu Liang had never heard it.

led He Cheng and Mao Yujie to Xu's mansion near the north gate of Pingliang City, He Cheng and Mao Yujie once again sincerely expressed their attitude to Xu Liang, thanked Xu Liang for his promotion, and swore that only Xu Liang would be the first to look forward to in the future. Xu Liang encouraged the two of them and left them for a meal.

In the next two days, the entire Pingliang Mansion took action, Xu Liang took out the Liang Army Marshal Seal, and gathered troops and horses to Zhenyuan, Jingzhou, Guyuan and Pingliang several Liang Army Camp bases, and transferred the city defense forces of Pingliang Prefecture and counties, barely gathered 25,000 people, plus 15,000 men and horses transferred by the governors of the three sides, so that the strength of the Governor Wu reached 40,000.

In terms of the generals who went on the expedition, Xu Liang was seriously injured and could not go on the expedition. When Pingliang Vice President Dai Feng was also at the foot of Wudu Mountain to block the People's Army, he was injured by Gao Zilin, a military division of the People's Army, and was unable to fight in a short time. And Sima Qiudao, the owner of the artillery battalion of the Liang Army, because the gunpowder in the battalion was burned on the official road of Wudu Mountain, several Tianzi No. 135 general cannons belonging to the artillery battalion were basically in a state of paralysis.

In the end, Xu Liang selected Luo Rucai, Wan Wenshan, Long Feng and other three Liang army generals to send troops with Governor Wu. In the territory of Fengxiang Mansion, the war was tense, and nearly 100,000 people's troops under the leadership of Huang Ziren, Gao Zilin, Gao Yingxiang, and Wang Zuogui conquered several prefectures and counties one after another, and they had already besieged Fengxiang Mansion.

In an emergency, the governor of the three sides, Wu Zhiwang, gathered all the 40,000 soldiers and horses, and the whole army hurriedly marched towards Fengxiang Mansion with only three days' worth of grain and grass.

The 40,000-strong army was assembled outside Pingliang City, and Governor Wu summoned all the officials in the Yamen of the Pingliang Prefect to do the final mobilization work, and arranged the affairs after the army went out by the way.

Liu Zhilun, the governor of Shaanxi, and Hong Chengchou, who participated in the government, insisted on going out with the governor of Wu, and the government affairs in Pingliang Mansion were in charge of the government affairs in Pingliang Mansion because Xu Liang was seriously injured and did not recover, so Pingliang Tongzhi Lu Yifa was in charge, and Governor Liu's master, Master Lu, also stayed in Pingliang City, responsible for raising grain and grass and sending it to the front.

Xu Liang has no opinion on such an arrangement. Therefore, the arrangement of the Governor of Wu was carried out smoothly. After everything was properly discussed, just as Governor Wu had dismissed the meeting and the generals and officials left behind from all walks of life had gone out one after another, suddenly, an official from the prefect's yamen hurriedly ran in and presented a notice to Governor Wu.

Governor Wu took it in surprise, looked at it carefully, and frowned slightly.

In the main hall, all the officials had not yet walked out, and suddenly saw Governor Wu holding a notice in his hand and frowning, and couldn't help but stop curiously, looking at Governor Wu, curious about what he was holding in his hand.

"Your Excellency Governor, what's wrong?" An official asked in a whisper.

Governor Wu frowned lightly for a while, looked up and saw that everyone was looking at him, and chuckled: "It's nothing, the grain and grass originally raised in Jingzhou City will be transported a day late, it's okay, the war in Fengxiang Mansion is tense, let's send troops first." ”

When everyone heard that it was such a small thing, they did not take it to heart, and they went away.

When everyone was almost gone, Governor Wu stopped Xu Liang, who was also leaving, stuffed the notice in his hand into Xu Liang's hand, and said in a deep voice: "You deal with it yourself." With that, he reached out and gently patted Xu Liang's shoulder twice, beckoned Governor Liu and Hong to participate in politics, and the three of them walked out.

Xu Liang unfolded the proclamation that was almost crumpled by Governor Wu suspiciously, smoothed it out and looked at it, and suddenly his lungs were about to explode. This is actually a "letter to the people of Pingliang", the notice is sprinkled with thousands of words, all of which are how Xu Liang is greedy for power and selfishness, embezzlement and bribery, private training of soldiers and horses, greedy for money and lustful, and evil deeds, with nose and eyes, plausible, and extremely malicious slander!

Looking at the freshness of the ink on the poster, it is clear that it is a poster that has just been written.

Obviously, this is a deliberate attempt to maliciously slander Xu Liang, Xu Liang took a closer look, although there are a few things Xu Liang admits that he has indeed done, but more, it is out of nothing, nothing to do! Its purpose is naturally to stink Xu Liang and make Xu Liang ruined.

Xu Liang crumpled the notice viciously, and rushed back to Xu's mansion angrily, as soon as he entered the mansion, the head of the Tsing Yi guard stall came up anxiously, holding a few of the same notices in his hand, and said to Xu Liang: "Young master, someone is posting notices in the city, spreading rumors, and maliciously slandering. Fortunately, the spies of the Tsing Yi Guard Detective Office in the city found it in time and have taken back most of the notices. ”

Xu Liang snorted angrily, threw a ball of notices in his hand at the foot of the iron head, and said viciously: "Some people are still ghostly, but I am afraid that the world will not be chaotic!" Find out for me, and punish me severely! ”

"Yes! Young master, rest assured, Ah Tie has sent out all the guards in Tsing Yi, even if he digs three feet into the ground, he will also find out this bastard! Tietou also said coldly.

In fact, this kind of thing is not clever, and the method of covering up the traces of the evildoer is also extremely clumsy, and after a short time, the exact news reached Xu Liang.

When Xu Liang's conjecture was confirmed, Xu Liang couldn't help but be furious, and said coldly: "If you don't die, you won't die!" If you dare to frame me, I will let him know who he must not provoke! (To be continued......)
