The next day, Xu Liang woke up earlier than anyone else, quietly withdrew his arm that was already sore, got up on tiptoe, put on a coat and went out of the room, shaking his arms vigorously in the courtyard.

When the people who got up in the morning and the night saw Xu Liang who got up so early, they greeted Xu Liang in surprise, and they were busy with their own affairs, and then looked back at Xu Liang, and then left in confusion.

When Dai Yingying and Lou Xian'er, the two new ladies got up, they each dressed up in their own rooms, and went together to offer tea to Feng Suqin, the wife of the main room of the Xu Mansion.

Then Xu Liang's family made breakfast, Dai Yingying and Lou Xian'er, you clip a piece, and I will clip a piece to fill Xu Liang's bowl with breakfast, and after a while, Xu Liang's bowl will not be able to fit it.

Xu Liang's eyes widened, put down his chopsticks, yawned and said, "I'm full." Eat slowly. ”

Seeing this, Feng Suqin asked with concern: "Xianggong, but you didn't sleep well last night?" The concubine looks at your eyes dark. ”

Xu Liang sighed, and secretly said that I didn't sleep well at all...... coughed lightly, glared at Lou Xian'er and Dai Yingying, and said, "I was too drunk yesterday, and my head still hurts a little today." ”

"Oh," Feng Suqin nodded, "Then the prime minister shouldn't go to the government today, it's better to rest." ”

Xu Liang waved his hand and said, "I'm not going." I will accompany Dai Yingying back to Dai's mansion in a while. ”

When Dai Yingying heard this, she glanced at Lou Xian'er proudly.

After the meal, Dai Yingying followed Feng Suqin to the warehouse to choose gifts, and Xu Liang and Lou Xian'er waited in the front yard for the people to prepare the carriage.

The butler of the Xu Mansion sneakily stepped forward, pulled Xu Liang away from Lou Xian'er for a distance, and secretly stuffed a folded small paper bag in his hand into Xu Liang's hand.

Xu Liang asked strangely, "What is this?" ”

Tietou's face was slightly red, and he leaned into Xu Liang's ear and whispered, "Young Master." It is said that as long as you put a little bit of nail tips in the tea, you can make people show their strength, and it is not a problem to do it seven times or eight times a night. ”

Xu Liang immediately understood what was inside the paper bag. The secret passage is still ancient. Pure Chinese medicine formula, without adding any additives, the key is that the efficacy is so good! Good stuff!

Xu Liang hurriedly put it in his arms, secretly thinking that he would have to give it a try if he had a chance to see if it was really as divine as the iron head said.

Immediately, Xu Liang felt a little wrong, pulled the iron head and asked, "It's good." Ah Tie, what are you doing here, what are the turtles spreading their wings for? ”

Tietou looked at Xu Liang embarrassedly, and whispered with comfort: "Young master, there is nothing to be ashamed of, I have asked the old Chinese medicine doctor, there are a small number of men in this world." He was born and didn't do much, he was destined, no wonder he himself. As he spoke, he squeezed his eyebrows and said, "Young Master, you can use it with confidence, no one knows about this except Ah Tie and the old Chinese medicine doctor of the Rejuvenation Hall." ”

Xu Liang was even more confused when he heard it, "What a mess." Why am I using this properly? Which bastard spread rumors that Lao Tzu is no good? ”

Tietou was still embarrassed by Xu Liang, looked at Xu Liang with understanding eyes, and then looked at Lou Xian'er who looked at her suspiciously. Pulled Xu Liang farther away, and whispered: "Young master, my iron head has always been loyal to you. Young master, don't hide it from me! In the morning, Na Kuan told me, saying that he saw the young master get up in the middle of the night and shake his arms vigorously in the courtyard...... You say that the night in your cave room has been reduced to the point of relying on your hands, so why hide it from me? The old Chinese medicine doctor said that as long as he insisted on using his medicine, even if he was originally a slug. It can also be restored into a vajra that subdues demons and grinds! ”

Xu Liang's face became darker and darker when he heard this, and there were gradually signs of anger. Iron Head hurriedly said, "That...... It occurred to me that there was something going on outside. I'm going to get busy first......" said as he slipped out the door like a gust of wind.

Xu Liang looked at the back of the iron head. Gritted his teeth with hatred. Thinking of the family Ding Akuan who saw him throwing his arm, he secretly scolded this kid for being frightened and deceitful, and when he didn't understand the truth, he spread rumors everywhere that Xu Liang couldn't do it, which was really hateful! It seems that such a family member who can't keep the secret must not stay in the mansion, and must leave the Xu Mansion as soon as possible.

Lou Xian'er stepped forward and asked suspiciously, "Xianggong, what's wrong?" What did the Iron Head tell you? ”

Xu Liang cried and laughed: "It's nothing." Ah Tie just said that the boar of the old Liu Tou's house next door actually laid a litter of piglets last night, and Tietou rushed to join in the fun. ”

"Huh? It's true? I'm going to check it out too! Lou Xian'er exclaimed in surprise, and ran towards the door of the mansion with a skirt in one hand. When she was about to reach the door, Lou Xian'er stopped, walked back in a daze, and said angrily to Xu Liang: "Xianggong, you are lying again, how can there be a boar piglet ......?"

Xu Liang laughed.

After a while, Dai Yingying and the others were ready, Xu Liang got into the carriage with her and went to the mansion of Dai Feng, a guerrilla general in Pingliang, to visit relatives.

Halfway up, the official of the prefect's yamen chased after him and respectfully asked, "My lord, my lordship has summoned all the adults to hold a meeting in the hall of the prefect's office, and please move over." ”

Xu Liang stretched out the carriage window with one hand, waved his hand and said: "Go back and tell Lord Futai, just say that the official is in a hurry to visit Lao Taishan, and he doesn't have time to rush to discuss the matter." ”

"Yes." The official didn't dare to say more and ask more, so he returned to the government with a bitter face.

In the yamen hall of the Pingliang Prefect, officials from all over the country under the rule of Pingliang Mansion except for Pingliang Tongzhi Xu Liang have arrived, and Zhang Fengqi, the prefect of Pingliang, sat upright, squinted at the empty chair on the left, and waited for the owner of the chair to arrive with a calm face.

Soon, the official sent out to deliver the message told Xu Liang's words to the prefect of Zhang. Governor Zhang waved away the servants, his face became even more ugly, and the officials sitting under the hall said: "Xu Tongzhi is absent for some reason, so I won't wait for him, and now we will have a meeting." ”

When the officials in the hall heard this, their faces were different, some were stunned, some were surprised, and some were indignant. However, no matter who it was, they didn't dare to stand up immediately and say that Xu Tongzhi was not.

They still remember that the new Guyuan Zhizhou Lu Chengyuan was kicked out of the prefect's yamen by Lord Xu because he collided with Lord Xu at the meeting, losing face and becoming a big joke in Shaanxi officialdom for a while. And Lu Zhizhou angrily sued the court, not only failed to hurt Xu Liang in the slightest, but attracted a reprimand from Emperor Chongzhen. So far, whenever Lu Zhizhou goes to the prefect's yamen for a meeting, he has a calm face and does not say a word.

With a profound lesson in front of us, who would dare to ask for their own hardships?

Zhang Fengqi, the prefect of Pingliang, was also helpless against Xu Liang, although Xu Liang repeatedly said that he had to disrespect him as his top boss, but Zhang Governor couldn't lose his temper. The reason is that because Xu Liang is in charge of the military power, most of the Pingliang Mansion is under the control of the Liang army, if the Zhang Governor's Mansion forces Xu Liang too tightly, in case it provokes this stunned youth, on a moonlit night with high winds, suddenly a group of strongmen of unknown origin killed into the prefect's yamen and clicked the sleeping Zhang Governor's Mansion, this kind of thing is very likely to happen.

Therefore, although Xu Liang was extremely uncooperative, Governor Zhang couldn't help but hold this meeting. It has been more than a month since the recovery of Pingliang, and in the past month, due to the personnel changes in Pingliang Mansion, the transfer of the army, and other reasons, the court has not used a single soldier against the thieves who still occupy Huating, Lingtai, Zhuanglang, Longde, Jingning and other places. According to the report of the spies sent by the Zhang Governor's Office, the total number of thieves stationed in various places is not less than 70,000, and the largest team of thieves is the Li Jiajun stationed in Huating and Lingtai, it is said that the original leader is the fourth lady Li Ting, and now her grandfather, known as Li Xinbei. After Li Xinbei came to the fore from behind the scenes, he also had some means, even pulling and beating, and soon pressed Wang Zuogui and Shen Yikui, and sat firmly on the throne of the big leader of the thieves. Moreover, this Li Xinbei is still training soldiers and horses day and night, ready to counterattack at any time.

According to this development, if the official army does not go out to suppress the Li Jiajun, it will not be long before another army of thieves will come to Pingliang City.

The topic of this meeting was to discuss how to send troops to Huating to encircle and suppress the Li family's army.

However, this meeting, still due to the absence of Pingliang Tongzhi Xu Liang Xu, did not produce any results.

The specifications of the meeting were extremely high, the topics were clear, and even the offensive plan was clear, however, the forces responsible for the offensive were not so certain. In addition to the more than 1,000 guards led by Anton Zhongwei commanded by Tongzhi Huang Ziren, plus more than 2,000 soldiers led by Li Ying, a guerrilla general in Guyuan Prefecture, how many soldiers and horses the Liang army dispatched, and which general led the troops, the ghost knows!

The meeting was held with such a result that was not a result, Governor Zhang felt extremely aggrieved and helpless, and he said bitterly to Huang Daozhou, the official of Pingliang: "Lord Huang, cough cough, after the meeting, you have to go to Xu Mansion in person, ask Xu Tongzhi's attitude, and determine which way the Liang army will send troops." ”

"Yes, the subordinate obeys." Pingliang pushed the official Huang Daozhou lightly.

"Let's disperse."

Governor Zhang drooped his head and walked to the backyard of the mansion, and Shi Junsheng, the magistrate of Zhenyuan County, beckoned behind him and shouted: "Lord Futai, please stay." ”

Governor Zhang looked back and saw that it was Shizhi County, and a little smile appeared on his face in defeat, "It turned out to be Shizhi County." What is the matter with Shi Zhi County's call to this mansion? ”

It should be said that Governor Zhang's impression of Shi Junsheng of Zhenyuan County is still quite good. Since Zhang Fengqi was promoted to the prefect of Pingliang, the officials of the original Xu Liang family were very indifferent to Zhang Fengqi, and only Shi Junsheng, the former prefect of the town, and Lu Chengyuan, the governor of Guyuan who was promoted from the head of the Ministry of Industry, respected him more than the prefect of Pingliang. And these two people, without exception, are people that Xu Liang hates.

Shi Zhixian approached Governor Zhang's side, and said with a smile: "Futai, when are you free, Zhu Zijian, the prince of Han, has been back in Pingliang for some time, and has always wanted to invite Futai out to sit, but the prince has inquired about the lower officials several times, and the lower officials are not good at prevaricating, so he took the liberty to ask ......"
