When Xu Liang rushed to Pingliang Mansion with twenty Tsing Yi guards, it was already dark. Entering Pingliang City, I faintly felt that the atmosphere was not ordinary, the city gate guard increased more than one manpower, and the inventory was also tight, and from time to time there were teams of patrol soldiers on the street, and the people on the road were also in a hurry.

The prefect's yamen was even more guarded, and Xu Liang's carriage was stopped by a team of captains on duty at the gate.

"Stop! What for? The lieutenant pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword, and his tone was solemn.

At this time, Xu Liang didn't dare to make a mistake, got out of the carriage honestly, and said very politely: "The military master is invited, the next official is Xu Liang, the magistrate of Zhenyuan County, and he was urgently summoned by the Lord of Futai to come in to see him." ”

The school captain looked Xu Liang up and down scrutinically, and was also a little surprised by Xu Liang's age, and heard that it was a subordinate of Hong Chengchou, the prefect of Pingliang, his face softened, and he said: "It turned out to be Lord Xu, it's really unfortunate, now this prefect's yamen has been moved in by the governor of the three sides, Lord Wu, and the school is ordered to be on duty, so I can't be careless." If it is late today, and the Governor has already rested, Lord Xu wants to see Governor Hong, and please come back tomorrow morning. ”

Xu Liang was taken aback again, and carefully looked at the officers and soldiers guarding the yamen, only then did he see that now the guards at the yamen had all changed, and the ordinary officials didn't see any of them. Looking at this pomp, it is estimated that only the trilateral governors can put it up.

Xu Liang was more careful, laughed with him, stepped aside, and prepared to go to Pingliang Station to live first.

After leaving the prefect's yamen for a while, Xu Liang heard someone chasing after him in the carriage, shouting while chasing: "Lord Xu, wait a minute!" ”

The Tsing Yi guards on the side of the carriage drank the carriage, and after waiting for a while, they saw a young man in Tsing Yi coming from the rear, and the little man jumped off the horse neatly, ran to the carriage, and bowed his hand and said, "Lord Xu, my lord is invited." ”

"Who is your master?"

"Oh," replied the little servant, "Pingliang Governor Hong, who is." ”

It turned out that when Xu Liang's carriage rushed to the prefect's yamen, Hong Chengchou, the prefect of Pingliang, had actually arranged for someone to wait there. At that moment, Xu Liang was led by the little guy in Nahong Mansion, turned two streets, and entered an ordinary-looking house. The guards stayed outside the gate, and Xu Liang went to see Hong Chengchou alone.

Governor Hong had just finished taking a bath, wearing a loose and thick cotton jacket, leaning on the Taishi chair in the elegant study and reading the book with relish.

Xu Liang came in and saluted in a proper manner.

Governor Hong put down his notebook, beckoned and said with a smile: "Xu Liang is here, and he has worked hard all the way." ”

"The lord was in a hurry, and the subordinate had to come immediately." Xu Liang said, "I don't know what happened when Lord Futai summoned the officials to come?" ”

Governor Hong still had a bunch of greetings in his stomach, but he didn't expect Xu Liang to like to go straight to the point and go straight to the point, so he had to put down the prepared lines, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, come, show tea to Lord Xu." He beckoned to Xu Liang again: "Xu Liang, the family is no better than the yamen, you don't have to be polite, please take a seat." ”

The servant served tea, Xu Liang chose a position closer to the point, and sat carefully.

"Try the West Lake Maojian of this house, I just arrived a year ago, and it is rare to drink it once on weekdays." Governor Hong said again.

Seeing this, Xu Liang had no choice but to take a sip, but he didn't taste anything special.

"Xu Liang, this government instructed Lord Ye Yanqing to command your subordinates, Huang Ziren, to transfer you to Anton Zhongwei, without informing you in advance, don't you mind." Governor Hong's voice came slowly.

Could it be that Huang Ziren committed something? Xu Liang thought like this, and hurriedly said: "Don't dare, Lord Futai can take a fancy to Huang Ziren, and that is also Huang Ziren's creation." Now Huang Ziren is an official living in a guard and a thousand household officials, with a bright future, and his situation is far more glorious than being a small patrol under the subordinates. Speaking of which, I would like to thank the people of Futai for their hard work. ”

"Hahaha, Xu Liang, you can think like this, and you will not disappoint the heart of this mansion." Governor Hong laughed, looking very happy, and said: "Huang Qianhu is strong in martial arts, capable of writing and martial arts, and Commander Ye also values it very much. ”

Saying that, Governor Hong sighed, looked at Xu Liang, and said with emotion: "Speaking of which, you Xu Liang knows people, I heard that there is another person under you, named Xing Zhongshan, who trains troops in the school field, and is quite disciplined, when will you bring it to the mansion to meet?" ”

When Xu Liang heard this, he was secretly shocked in his heart, what does this old guy want to do? Recruited a Huang Ziren, and now wants to fight Xing Zhongshan's idea?

After several thoughts in his heart, Xu Liang smiled and said: "Let the Lord of Futai laugh, Xing Zhongshan was born quickly, I don't know the etiquette, where do I know how to march and train soldiers." ”

Hong Chengchou listened, and looked at Xu Liang with a smile, which was meaningful.

Xu Liang was afraid that if he continued to talk, what pit would Hong Chengchou dig for himself, he hurriedly stopped the topic, and solemnly asked: "It's getting late, the adults are tired for a day, and they should rest early, it is inconvenient for the lower officials to disturb for a long time, I don't know if the Lord of Futai is in such a hurry to summon the lower officials, what's the matter?" ”

"Hehe, you!" Hong Chengchou saw Xu Liang mention it again, so he didn't want to talk about it anymore, pointed at Xu Liang a few times funny, put away his smile, and said: "I guess you have also seen it, the governor of the three sides, Lord Wu, has arrived in Pingliang Mansion." ”

Xu Liang nodded.

"Your Excellency Governor is busy with official business, so he won't come to Pingliang," Governor Hong continued, "This time, Governor Wu made a big show and set up Pingliang, originally for an old case. Well, Northwest Loujiabao, have you ever heard of it? ”

"The Northwest Lou family is famous, and the lower officials naturally know it." Xu Liangdao was thinking in his heart, could it be that this Governor Wu wants to be unfavorable to Loujiabao? If that's the case, then it's a good thing to teach yourself a good lesson to the annoying Lou family's eldest son, Lou Chuan.

"Yes, it's the Lou family." Governor Hong couldn't tell what the expression was on his face, and said quietly: "The contemporary head of the Lou family, Lou Delu reported to the Governor half a month ago that he had found traces of Wei Zhongxian's descendants!" ”

"Huh?" Xu Liang was shocked.

Governor Hong glanced at Xu Liang, was very satisfied with his reaction, and said, "When I heard this, even the official was taken aback. In the case of Wei Zhongxian, there was already a holy judgment in the saint, and it was a major crime of punishing the nine clans. Originally, the court thought that Wei Zhongxian's lineage had already died in the law, but he didn't expect that the Lou family would actually turn out a descendant of the Wei family! The Governor did not dare to be careless, and immediately reported to the court, and now the Holy Lord had ordered the Governor Wu to pursue the descendants of the Wei clan with all his might. This time, I summoned you Liang to come over precisely to ask you to lead the troops to go out with the Governor! ”

Xu Liang was already so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. Wei Zhongxian's case has just been settled, and more than 260 court officials were buried together, and now the people of the hundred officials are a little at ease, and they originally thought that this page had finally been turned over, and since then the big guy packed up and prepared to put down the burden of the eunuch party and travel lightly. I don't know how many officials and how many troubles will be involved in this investigation! This Lou family who has suffered a thousand cuts!

Wait, with the Governor and his troops on the march? To hunt down a descendant of the Wei family who doesn't know the truth or falsehood, it is enough to have the Jinyi Wei or Dongchang of the court come forward, and the army needs to go on the expedition?

What's the situation?

"My lord, just chasing down a descendant of the Wei family, is it necessary to mobilize the people like this?" Xu Liang couldn't help but ask in surprise.

Hong Chengchou also felt a little annoyed, waved his hand and explained: "Xu Liang, you don't know, the descendant of the Wei family reported by the Lou family, it is said that she is the granddaughter of Father-in-law Wei, and she has changed her name and surname, as if her name is Li Ting, also known as the fourth lady, somehow mixed into the territory of Shaanxi, gathered tens of thousands of thieves, and is now hiding in the Maling area at the junction of Hanzhong Mansion, Fengxiang Mansion and Gongchang Mansion. This woman has a large number of men, and it is difficult for the army to exterminate ......"

Boom, the teacup in front of Xu Liang overturned, and the tea poured over the table, flowing along the table to the ground. Seeing Governor Hong look at him in surprise, Xu Liang hurriedly said: "I can't imagine it, I can't imagine that this person is so bold and reckless...... It really deserves to be killed! ”

Governor Hong only thought that Xu Liang was frightened when he heard that the four young ladies were immediately frightened, and he didn't care. After listening to Xu Liang's statement, he snorted coldly and said disapprerovingly: "The qiē heard by the court is all the words of Loujiabao, what is the real situation, who can say clearly, hum, the descendants of the Wei family, hehe......"

Governor Hong sneered a few times, realized that Xu Liang was still by his side, coughed awkwardly, waved his hand, and said: "These things, this official will talk to you first, so that you can know in your heart." Tomorrow, Your Excellency the Governor, there should be arrangements. Well, you've been on the road for a long time, and go back to rest. ”

Xu Liang was also afraid that he would stay in the house for a long time, and his heart was shocked and his flaws were revealed, and the ghost and goblin Hong Zhifu saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly said goodbye.

After meeting the guards outside the Hongfu Gate, Xu Liang didn't plan to go to the post house, so he found a good inn to live in first. At first glance, hearing such astonishing news, Xu Liang had to digest it vividly.

The next day, Xu Liang came to the Pingliang Prefect's Mansion early, and the carriage and sedan chair had been parked in front of the yamen. Xu Liang thought that he was already quite early, and he couldn't imagine that there was anyone more diligent than himself!

Guided by a personal soldier from the Governor's Palace, Xu Liang entered the lobby of the prefect's yamen, and as soon as he entered, Xu Liang was stunned!

The position behind the desk in the lobby was empty, and it was obvious that Governor Wu had no intention of arriving so early. There were already two rows of red-robed civil officials and brightly armored military generals in the hall according to their ranks, and behind the first empty Taishi chair on the right side of the desk, there were four people with swords standing side by side, round hats, brown clothes, and soap boots!

That's the standard line of the East Detective Factory!
