In fact, Zhao Yongyong, the commander of the guards of the Han Palace, had already arrived in the capital half a month ago. To say that Zhu Zijian, the son of King Han, is really not broad-minded, he instructed Shi Junsheng, the superintendent of Shaanxi Province, to tell Xu Liang fiercely, and saw that the Jinyi guard came to the door and escorted Xu Liang away, and he was still not at ease, and ordered the guard commander Zhao Yongyong to rush to the capital, and he could only stop when he saw Xu Liang go to the execution ground.

Commander Zhao was not very happy at first, and secretly laughed at the prince for making too much of a fuss. It seems that such a local petty official of six or seven grades has been convicted of destroying the Fanwang Courtyard and privately training soldiers and horses, and he will be escorted to the capital for an interrogation, and he should be dragged to the entrance of the vegetable market to be beheaded.

On that day, Commander Zhao saw the carriage escorting Xu Liang into the city near the Zhengyang Gate in the capital, and followed to the gate of Fusi in Beizhen, and saw the carriage enter, Commander Zhao was relieved, and when he returned to the inn, he waited for the news of Xu Liang's beheading with peace of mind.

In Commander Zhao's opinion, it is basically difficult for those who have entered the Jinyi Guard Prison to come out again.

However, the more certain things in this world, the more likely it is to have accidents.

Commander Zhao waited left and right in the inn, and sent his subordinates to Jinyiwei, the Criminal Department, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate every day to inquire, but he couldn't wait for Xu Liang's results.

After more than ten days like this, Commander Zhao couldn't sit still.

Commander Zhao, who couldn't sit still, went to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to find the person who reported Xu Liang, Shi Junsheng, the superintendent of Shaanxi Province.

Shi Yushi is also wondering these days, and he went to Beizhen Fusi several times to inquire, but he was sent back for various reasons. After inquiring carefully, I don't know which errand captain Jinyiwei said that he leaked his mouth, and actually asked Shi Yushi to find out that Xu Liang's family had done the work of directing Luo to raise his sex, and the case was taken down by Commander Luo.

In the face of the authoritative leader of the Jinyi Guard, the commander of Zheng Sanpin, Lord Luo, who has always dared to speak out, was also numb. Seeing that time is passing day by day, the task assigned by Han Shizi is about to be delayed, and Shi Yushi is at a loss.

When Commander Zhao walked into Shi Yushi's house, he saw Shi Yushi's sad face, and Commander Zhao first asked, "Master Shi, what are you doing?" Xu Liang has been imprisoned in Jinyi Wei Prison for almost half a month, why hasn't there been any movement at all? ”

They are all people who work for Han Shizi, Shi Yushi is naturally familiar with Zhao forever, Shi Yushi spread his hands, and said with a wry smile helplessly: "Xia Guan didn't think that Luo Yangxing would interfere in this matter." As he spoke, he asked suspiciously, "How can Xu Liang's family have anything to do with Commander Luo?" Could it be that our intelligence is wrong, so Xu Liang still has a little-known relationship in the DPRK and China? ”

Commander Zhao said disdainfully: "The relationship between fart, if it is related, he can still let Jinyiwei enter the capital?" ”

Shi Yushi thought about it, but he was not very relieved, and muttered: "It's better to be careful, now the situation is delicate, the sacred heart is unpredictable, beware of carelessness, overturning in the gutter." ”

Commander Zhao is only the commander of the guards of the Fanwang Mansion, and he naturally doesn't care as much about the current situation as Shi Yushi, the two sat dry for a while, and Commander Zhao shouted irritably: "Master Shi, at the moment, we are both grasshoppers on a rope, if Xu Liang is not dead, we don't want to have good fruits to eat." You also know the temper of the son. ”

Shi Yushi remembered the ruthless methods of Zhu Zijian, the prince of King Han, his scalp was numb for a while, he circled around the table a few times, gritted his teeth and said: "Now it seems that if we want to do things properly, we can still not offend Commander Luo, so as not to catch fire, we have to avoid doing it ourselves, and it is best to borrow a knife to kill people." ”

"How?"

Shi Yushi pointed his hand at his head, and sneered: "Although Lord Yu Biancao is old, he is the most jealous and hateful, and he dares to speak out when he encounters problems, and he is quite trusted by the emperor today. Let's stab the matter to him and ask the old man to go to Commander Luo to fight in the ring. ”

The Imperial Court originally had the imperial history of the left and right capitals, but not long ago, after Cao Sicheng, the imperial history of the right capital, was withdrawn, the court has not appointed the imperial history of the right capital, and now all the affairs of the imperial court are in charge of Cao Yubian, the imperial history of the left capital. The imperial historian of the left capital is the second rank, and he is an important minister of the court at the same level as the six Shangshu, and he has made a move to bring out the commander of the Jinyi Guard, who kills the god and is the third grade, and the weight is absolutely enough.

However, thinking that the opponent was the head of the Jinyi Guard, Commander Zhao was still a little worried, "With the Zuodu Yushi coming forward, Commander Luo will most likely give face, and I am afraid that Lord Cao will not grudge with the Jinyi Guard." ”

Shi Yushi listened, smiled slyly, and said: "If it were only a seven-rank small county, Lord Cao would naturally not come forward. But you don't know that the reason why Lord Cao was able to sit firmly in the position of the imperial history of the left capital was to rely on vigorously liquidating the remaining party of the eunuch party and getting the appreciation of the saints. Xia Guan remembered that Lu Chengyuan, the director of the Ministry of Works, had an excerpt before the year, which mentioned some things about Xu Liang when he was an official in Jianchang, which seemed to be related to the eunuch party. If we relate Xu Liang to the rest of the eunuch party, hehe, I'm not afraid that Lord Cao won't come forward. ”

Commander Zhao was overjoyed when he heard this, and he and Shi Yushi conspired with the two of them again before leaving. Shi Yushi saw Commander Zhao leave, and as soon as he turned around, he also walked towards the yamen of the Imperial Procuratorate.

When Shi Yushi returned to the Imperial Procuratorate, he went to look for the book of the impeachment of Wei Zhongxian by Lu Chengyuan, the director of the Ministry of Works, but he couldn't find it. After inquiring carefully with his colleagues in the General Administration Department, he learned that after Emperor Chongzhen's rebellion, the relevant reports and accusations against Wei Zhongxian were all burned.

Shi Yushi couldn't help but regret for a while. But it doesn't matter, the music is dead, and if it is burned, it will be burned, but the person who went on the music is still there, and the music is gone, and it is the same to find the person concerned.

Shi Yushi hurriedly went to the Ministry of Industry, found Lu Chengyuan, the director of the Ministry of Industry, and said in detail in the future, so he wanted to pull Director Lu into the water, unite as one, and bring down Xu Liang together.

Since Director Lu became a Beijing official, he has almost forgotten about Xu Liang, an old colleague who was driven to a desolate county in the northwest by him to suffer, in the past six months.

When Director Lu heard Shi Yushi say that Xu Liang was actually escorted to the capital by the Jinyi guard, he couldn't help but feel very happy, he smiled and clapped his hands, and after hearing Commander Luo want to protect Xu Liang, Director Lu felt a little helpless in his heart, and said three times in a row. Immediately heard the strategy of Shi Yushi, he actually wanted to talk about Xu Liang's identity as the assistant envoy of the Yunshan Wei Gong Ancestral Hall in Jianchang, and put eye medicine in front of the Zuodu Yushi, and instigated Cao Yubian, the imperial history of the left capital, to make a move and support Xu Liang.

Director Lu said secretly, Xu Liang once served as the assistant envoy of the Yunshan Wei Gong Ancestral Hall, and he mentioned it when he impeached Wei Zhongxian a few years ago, and now he has nothing to lose by mentioning it to Cao Yubian, the imperial historian of the left capital, maybe he can really take the opportunity to really handle that damn Xu Liang? Take 10,000 steps back, even if Xu Liang escapes, it is excellent to take this opportunity to talk to the second-class members of the court, Lord Cao of the Imperial Palace, and mix up with a familiar face. In the future, if Lord Cao can be lucky enough to remember that saying a good word or two in front of the emperor, wouldn't the effect be much better than any political achievements?

This kind of beneficial and harmless thing, if Lu doesn't do it, he won't be Lu Chengyuan!

In the Jinyi Guard's prison, Xu Liang saw that Chang Cell's head opened the prison door, quickly put the food box wrapped in white cloth in front of the table, and arched his hand towards Xu Liang and said, "Lord Xu, you use it slowly." With that, he turned around and quickly withdrew from the prison, wiping the palms and backs of his hands with the white cloth in his hands as he walked outward.

Xu Liang was surprised, after taking over the errand to improve Xu Liang's food, when did he see that Xu Liang was not smiling and groaning, and deliberately greeted him, why did he see himself today like a mouse and a cat?

Xu Liang asked Liu Gonggong next door: "Father-in-law, what do you find different from the past when this Chang Ah Si is today?" ”

Gonggong Liu didn't raise his head, he concentrated on enjoying the delicious food in front of him, and replied inarticulately: "Well, this bastard has fallen into the eyes of money, and he doesn't recognize anything but money in his eyes, like such a person, Xu ...... Brother still expects him to be normal? ”

Xu Liang smiled, and then stopped delving.

While eating, I suddenly heard the sound of the iron door opening outside. A hearty laugh shouted: "Ahaha, Lord Xu hasn't seen you for many days, are you still used to living?" ”

Xu Liang heard the voice, got up in surprise, walked to the prison door, and saw that standing outside the iron gate was Xu Changqing, who had not seen him for many days.

The head of the cell, who came in with Xu Qianhu, opened the cell door with a tangled face, and said with a far-fetched smile: "Lord Qianhu, you and Lord Xu are chatting slowly, and the little one is waiting outside." ”

Xu Qianhu waved his hand casually, and then arched his hand to Xu Liang and said: "Oh, Xu Mou returned to Beijing, and he was so busy fighting with his heels for a few days in a row. ”

Xu Liang laughed and said: "Don't dare, Brother Xu is busy with business, and you have to worry about Xu, it's really ...... Xu didn't know what to say. ”

"Haha, then nothing has to be said." Xu Qianhu said with a big grin, said, walked into the prison by himself, came to the small table where the dishes were placed, glanced at the dishes, and said in astonishment: "I still don't eat well in prison as Lord Xu, it seems that Lord Xu has arranged three meals a day well." ”

Xu Liang smiled, rubbed his hands and explained embarrassedly: "Thanks to Brother Xu's care, Chang Prison Boss is so polite to Xu because of Brother Xu's face. ”

"Haha." Xu Qianhu patted Xu Liang's shoulder affectionately, squeezed his eyebrows and said: "Lord Xu's words are outside, just by virtue of the friendship between you and me all the way to Beijing, and on the territory of Jinyiwei, no matter what, you can't make Lord Xu's life sad." After that, Xu Qianhu said: "It's rare for us to meet today, when Xu asks someone to get a few pots of wine, let's get drunk and rest!" ”

After speaking, Xu Qianhu shouted out to the head of the Chang cell who was waiting outside to go out and buy wine.

On this day, Xu Qianhu accompanied Xu Liang to drink all three jars of old wine in the edict of Jinyiwei before getting up and leaving.

As soon as Xu Qianhu left, Gonggong Liu next door sneered and scolded: "What kind of rotten fart did Xu Changqing put out, Brother Xu, you have been in prison for almost twenty days, and the surname Xu is really busy and has no time to see you in prison once?" Even ghosts don't believe it. ”

Xu Liang remembered that Xu Qianhu was drunk and confused, intentionally or unintentionally, saying that Commander Luo was very concerned about himself, and he had specially asked him about his situation, obviously Xu Changqing had figured out Commander Luo's attitude towards him, and expected that he would be released without danger, so he couldn't wait to go into the prison to meet with him, burn the cold stove in advance, and continue the incense.

What a wonderful person who sees the wind and steers the rudder!
