Qiao Yunsheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Hong Chengchou, a political officer in Shaanxi, rushed to Guyuan Prefecture to inform the governor of the three sides of what was happening in Pingliang City. Qiao Shangshu returned to Pingliang from Guyuan, and his face was not very good-looking, gloomy and gloomy.

Xu Liang went to the prefect's yamen to ask for a meeting twice under the pretext, but he couldn't see him.

The consequences of offending the Shangshu of the Criminal Department are really strict. Xu Liang sighed.

Qiao Shangshu's house in the prefect's yamen, Zhang Nianyun, the imperial historian of the capital, stepped into Qiao Shangshu's room for the first time after searching the mansion at No. 17 Changle Street.

Zhang Yushi bypassed the case files piled up on the ground more than a foot high, walked to Qiao Shangshu, who was reading a file in his hand, and arched his hand: "Ministry, we were all used as guns by Xu Liang!" ”

Qiao Shangshu snorted lightly, threw the file in his hand to the ground, and when he saw the half of the dragon robe for the first time, Qiao Shangshu reacted, he was most likely used by others, and when Xu Liang took Hong Chengchou and Zhang Fengqi appeared in the seventeenth mansion on Changle Street just right, Qiao Shangshu was sure that Xu Liang was the one who made the bad move!

Qiao Shangshu was furious that Xu Tongzhi, who had always seemed to be quite responsible, dared to play tricks in front of him. However, Xu Liang is bad, even if Qiao Shangshu finds out about his conspiracy, he has to move forward according to Xu Liang's intentions. Qiao Shangshu is the secretary of the criminal department, in charge of the criminal law of the Ming Dynasty, and he is also the minister of the Qin Mission, and half of the dragon robe was found in the house under the name of the Han Wangfu in full view, although it was later proved that the workmanship and texture of this half of the dragon robe were not good, and it was obviously made in a hurry, but the dragon robe is the dragon robe, even if it is a rag, as long as it is embroidered with nine dragons and nine claws. It is also a heart-wrenching move.

Qiao Shangshu knew that there was a huge pit in front of him, and he had to jump in with his eyes closed. Those who should be arrested must be arrested, and the prefectures that should be sealed must be sealed. He had to report what should be reported to the court. Although Qiao Shangshu hated Xu Liang to the point of gritting his teeth, the process that should be taken could not be left behind.

Zhang Yushi saw that Qiao Shangshu's face was not right, and there was a rhythm of rage, so he hurriedly shifted his gaze and said in a low voice: "Ministry, the Holy Lord sent us here to verify the case of the prince. This Han Wang's rebellion is really an unintentional move, and there are more than one of the people in the northwest who are in the second grade, this kind of thing. Do you think it would be better to transfer it to the Trilateral Governor's Office as soon as possible? ”

It's good that Zhang Yushi didn't mention it, but as soon as he mentioned it, Qiao Shangshu shouted angrily: "You don't understand the stakes when you are an old man? The old man still needs you to teach him to do things? ”

Zhang Yushi was so murderous by Qiao Shangshu, he immediately lowered his head, but he only sighed.

"It's just that I hate Wu Zhiwang, this old horseman, pretending to be sick and pretending to be addicted! The official and Hong Shenzheng officially reported to him, and this old man was suddenly bedridden! Qiao Shangshu gritted his teeth and scolded, "This old man has been on sick leave to the court for several months, why hasn't he died of illness!" ”

Zhang Yushi didn't expect Governor Wu to be so inadequate. couldn't help but be dumbfounded, if Governor Wu didn't accept the call, then on the northwest ground, count and count. In front of him, the scholar of the criminal department is of the highest grade, except for him, no one dares to investigate this kind of case of rebellion by the vassal king. Pity yourself for being put on a stand by Xu Liang. Now he has to jump into the fire pit with Qiao Shangshu, Zhang Yushi hates it in his heart.

"How's that for good?" Zhang Yushi said uneasily.

Qiao Shangshu glanced at him. Thinking of this qiē, this is the imperial history of this capital, and when he returned to Beijing, he had to take the troops to the house at No. 17 Changle Street to search. This caused so much trouble, speaking of which, Xu Liang, who dug the pit, is certainly hateful, and Zhang Yushi, who led him to jump into the pit, is also hateful.

"You're not a good thing either!" Qiao Shangshu pointed at the tip of Zhang Yushi's nose and scolded, and the spit starry pounced on Zhang Yushi's face. Zhang Yushi only chattered and didn't dare to reply.

Qiao Shangshu was tired of scolding, panting on the table. When he looked up and saw Zhang Yushi pitiful, looking at himself with a blank eye, waiting for him to make an idea, he couldn't help but be even more annoyed.

Cursing, Qiao Shangshu said angrily: "Pass the order, let the generals of the Beijing camp divide a part of their manpower Ming'er to escort Ye Yanqing and Huang Ziren back to Beijing early in the morning." ”

When Zhang Yushi heard that he had returned to Beijing, he was overjoyed, and asked with a blank eye: "What about us?" ”

"Shall we?" Qiao Shangshu rolled his eyes and said hatefully: "Let's quickly put an end to the broken matter of the prince and leave for Beijing." Pingliang City is full of Xu Liang's people inside and out, let's stay here again, maybe when Xu Liang will plot again! Only by returning to the capital as soon as possible, and then slowly settling accounts with Xu Liang. ”

"Wise!" Zhang Yushi nodded happily and said again and again: "Xiaguan will arrange it." ”

As soon as Zhang Yushi went out, another soldier asked outside the house: "My lord, Pingliang and Xu Liang are asking to see you outside." ”

Qiao Shangshu said hatefully: "I don't see! ”

Xu Liang waited for a while at the arched door of the prefect's yamen into the backyard, and when he saw the soldiers who went to the backyard to spread the word, he shook his head helplessly at Xu Liang, and Xu Liang knew that it was no fun to see Qiao Shangshu today.

In fact, Xu Liang was in a hurry to see Qiao Shangshu, but he didn't care about King Han's rebellion, this kind of thing Xu Liang could only do this step, and it would not be something he could manage in the future. What Xu Liang cares about is Qiao Shangshu's attitude towards him. Although he guessed that Qiao Shangshu would inevitably hate himself, he didn't see it with his own eyes, and he always had a trace of fantasy.

Now that Qiao Shangshu refused to see him for the third time, Xu Liang felt the severity of the problem. Thinking that he had set up such a strong enemy as the Criminal Department Shangshu in the court, he was very depressed.

Depressed on the soft sedan chair, just about to go back to Xu's house, from the prefect's yamen side door trotted out of a Beijing soldier, the soldier walked to the side of the sedan chair, accompanied by a smiling face, through the sedan curtain, to Xu Liang said: "Lord Xu stays." ”

Xu Liang was shocked, opened the sedan curtain, and asked happily: "But Master Shangshu is done, and he wants to see the lower officials?" ”

The soldier was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No! It was Huang Ziren, the former commander of Anton's central guard in prison, who wanted to see you and asked the little one to bring you a message. ”

When Xu Liang heard that it was not Qiao Shangshu who had changed his mind, but Huang Ziren, who had been imprisoned in the government prison, wanted to see him, he couldn't help but be disappointed, and put down the sedan curtain with a slam, Xu Liang said in a deep voice: "No! ”

The soft sedan car started, went to Pingliang Street, and walked to a corner with few people, Dai Yingying, the head of the guard, approached the sedan chair and said hesitantly: "Xianggong, Huang Ziren wants to see you, most likely to ask you for help." You met him once, and you were like brothers when you were in Jianchang......"

Xu Liang interrupted her and said, "Since I was escorted into Beijing, Huang Ziren not only stood by and watched, but also dug into my corner, he and I are no longer brothers!" ”

Dai Yingying's lips moved, and before she could say anything, she finally sighed lightly and said nothing.

Xu Liang and his entourage returned to the Xu Mansion in the north of the city, and the soft sedan chair was just about to be carried into the main gate, when Dai Yingying suddenly sighed softly.

Xu Liang asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Dai Yingying looked at the end of the street with her eyes, and said suspiciously: "That seems to be Mrs. Huang's sedan chair." ”

Xu Liang poked his head out of the sedan chair, looked left and right, and asked, "Where?" ”

Dai Yingying said: "It's far away, and I can't see it." ”

Xu Liang sighed and retracted his head back into the sedan chair. The soft sedan chair stopped in the small square in Xu's house, Xu Liang came out of the sedan chair, and met the eldest lady Feng Suqin and the third lady Lou Xian'er, one after the other, and greeted them.

"Xianggong is back." The two asked in sweet voices.

"Hmm." Xu Liang responded, pulled a person with one hand, and walked to the backyard of Xu's mansion first. Feng Suqin and Lou Xian'er chuckled and followed.

After entering the inner courtyard, Feng Suqin said softly: "Cousin Fang has just come." I wanted to see Xianggong, but Xianggong was not there, so I sent her back. ”

Xu Liang listened and was noncommittal.

Feng Suqin said again: "My cousin said that she will come back tomorrow, and if she looks like that, she has to see her husband." ”

Xu Liang paused and said in a deep voice, "I know what Feng Min'er saw me for. King Han rebelled, that was Tongtian's case! If Huang Ziren still recognized me as the eldest brother before, then I can't say that I would fight this official robe, and I would have to save his life. Now the two of us are strangers, he is him, I am me, and I will not interfere in his affairs! ”

Feng Suqin listened, a trace of unbearability flashed on her face, and when she saw that Xu Liang said solemnly, she nodded slowly, and asked again: "If Cousin Ming'er comes again, how should I respond to her?" ”

"Nope!" Xu Liang said without any hesitation.

Early the next morning, Feng Min'er looked at the closed gate of the Xu Mansion and wanted to cry without tears. (To be continued......)
