Chapter 729: Doubts

As soon as he heard that Xu Liang actually had a big business to talk to him, Father-in-law Luo was suddenly shocked. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info's eyes flashed, he looked at Xu Liang fearfully, and said with a sad face: "Lord Xu, if you raise your noble hand, let our family go!" ”

Xu Liang was greatly surprised, and said to Luo's father-in-law with admiration: "Father-in-law is really quiet and elegant, the official plans to send tens of thousands of taels of silver to his father-in-law to spend flowers, but I didn't expect my father-in-law to look down on ......"

When Father-in-law Luo heard this, the steps that had originally retreated seemed to have taken root, and he couldn't take a step. Thanks to Xu Liang, Luo's father-in-law has been so poor in his pocket recently, and the family funds that he has worked hard to accumulate for more than ten years have been sent to Xu Liang's pocket. Now Luo's life is very regular, and after the master of ceremonies finishes his errands, he returns to his hut, counts a few copper plates to live, and even gambles with other eunuchs, the biggest hobby in his life, has a tendency to fast successfully...... In short, Father-in-law Luo's life is in dire straits, and there is no taste.

All this is because there is no money!

Now Xu Liang actually said that he would give himself tens of thousands of taels of silver flowers, this, this is really a charcoal in the snow.

"Hehe, Lord Xu, what business did you just say?" Grandpa Luo's face was slightly red, and he turned around and asked.

Xu Liang's face was indifferent, "Isn't my father-in-law not wanting to hear it?" ”

"Uh...... Well," Father-in-law Luo said embarrassedly: "Don't hide it from Lord Xu, our family has been a little tight recently...... Making money is the top priority, what does Lord Xu want our family to do, it doesn't hurt for our family to listen to it first. ”

Grandpa Luo's demeanor, several people in the room laughed secretly when they heard it. Tietou said with a smile: "Grandpa Luo's money is not a little tight recently, right?" ”

Father-in-law Luo's face turned dark, and he sneered: "Lord Tie smiled. ”

Xu Liang saw Luo Bing looking at him with anticipation and eagerness, knowing that there was a play, so he smiled and said, "Father-in-law can take Chai Cai Liu...... Well, Wei Hong brought it into the palace, which is already a great achievement, and it is not easy for the official to trouble you anymore in this matter. It's just that...... Hehe, Grandpa Luo also knows that this official has been an official in Shaanxi, and he is not very familiar with several big eunuchs in the palace. ”

Luo Bing's heart jumped suddenly, only to know that what Xu Liang was going to order next was really related to the palace, so he didn't want to touch his hands, but the temptation of tens of thousands of taels of silver was too great, so Luo Gonggong asked cautiously: "Uh, what does Lord Xu want our family to do?" ”

Xu Liang smiled, took a few steps closer to Gonggong Luo, and said mysteriously: "The day after tomorrow is the day when the court pushes the ministers, and the father-in-law is the person who is the celebrant eunuch, so there are certain arrangements for the eunuch on duty who is in charge of the day's divination, right?" ”

Gonggong Luo nodded and said: "That's natural, the eunuchs on duty every day are all fixed." ”

Xu Liang nodded and said, "That's it." I want my father-in-law to arrange for Chai Lao Liu to be in charge of the Bu on the day of the court push. ”

Father-in-law Luo was stunned for a while, and then figured out what Xu Liang wanted to do, and couldn't help but turn pale with fright, and shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, this ...... If this is found out, it will be a great crime of the Nine Clans! ”

When Xu Liang heard this, he said quietly: "If the father-in-law completes this matter, the official is willing to pay the father-in-law 30,000 taels of silver!" ”

"Hiss......" Father-in-law Luo gasped in his mouth, 30,000 taels of silver, which is equivalent to his family foundation for more than ten years! Father-in-law Luo's face was entangled, quite moved, but after thinking about it, he still shook his head very regretfully, "Lord Xu, this matter is too big, 30,000 taels of silver, our family has a life to earn, and we have to have a life to spend it." Besides, it is not our family who is responsible for the arrangement of the staff on duty, but Du Fu Du's father-in-law, who is Wang Bingbi's cronies, and there is only Wang Chengen in his eyes, and our family does not have much friendship with him......"

Xu Liang suddenly laughed, shook his head and said, "Grandpa Luo's words are inevitably ridiculous. According to what my father-in-law is doing now, once he is found out, it is the same crime of losing his head. In other words, even if the father-in-law doesn't help with this, if someone has the heart to reveal the father-in-law's recent affairs, the father-in-law's life is also in danger! If you don't earn money, you're a bastard! ”

Grandpa Luo was shocked when he heard this.

Huang Daozhou on the side also came up and agreed: "Father-in-law Luo, what my family said is quite reasonable. Since my father-in-law has become a thief, stealing once is stealing, stealing twice, or three times, isn't it just a thief! ”

Huang Daozhou described the image, Luo Gonggong thought about it carefully, his grandmother's, isn't that what is going on? ! Suddenly, his eyes loosened a little.

"It's just that Du Fu's father-in-law is quite difficult to speak......"

Xu Liang listened, and said in a relaxed tone: "Du's father-in-law, this official has also heard a little, as far as I know, Du's father-in-law is actually very good at talking." In this way, the official will give Gonggong Luo another 10,000 taels of silver to go to make some money, I believe that Gonggong Du will definitely be convenient for others for the sake of silver. ”

When Father-in-law Luo heard that Xu Liang was going to take 10,000 taels of silver to open the way, his eyes immediately widened, and he thought in his heart that although Father-in-law Du Fu had a special status in the ceremonial supervisor, there were still not many opportunities to get 10,000 taels of silver at one time. With money, Luo's father-in-law felt a lot more at ease.

Finally, under the huge temptation of thirty or forty thousand taels of silver, Grandpa Luo decided to do it again, he gritted his teeth and said categorically: "Okay, our family will believe in Lord Xu again." However, we have to collect the money first. ”

Xu Liang frowned, and then said very cheerfully: "It's no problem. Then he walked to the desk, took out a large pile of silver tickets from the drawer, and handed them to Luo Gonggong: "This is the silver ticket that Luo Gonggong and the four guards returned last time, and the official has not used it, and now it is just right to return to Zhao." ”

Grandpa Luo's face was excited when he heard this, and he held a large stack of thick silver tickets in his hand, and suddenly felt a feeling of lost and found. Carefully put away the money, Father-in-law Luo was also much more energetic, and solemnly patted Xu Liang's chest and promised: "Lord Xu, don't worry, this matter is on our family." ”

Xu Liang laughed: "My father-in-law is doing things, and my official has always been very relieved. ”

Since it would take a little time to modify Chai Lao Liu's appearance, Luo Gonggong waited in the Dongjiang Courtyard for more than an hour, and when Yan Qi brought Chai Lao Liu over, Luo Gonggong carefully looked at Chai Lao Liu, who had already imagined six or seven points with Wei Hong, and nodded: "It's done, when you get inside, don't talk much." ”

Chai Lao Liu looked at Xu Liang and the others, nodded seriously, and said, "I know." ”

Father-in-law Luo corrected: "In the palace, the eunuchs all call themselves our family. ”

"Well, we know." Chai Lao Liu learned very quickly, and immediately changed his words.

Xu Liang said to Chai Lao Liu: "Old Six, this matter has been done, and this official guarantees that all the gambling debts you owe in the major gambling houses in Beijing will be smoothed out for you!" From now on, you Chai Lao Liu can also enter and exit the major gambling houses openly! ”

Chai Lao Liu nodded and said, "I, uh, our family knows." ”

At dusk, the sky over the capital is full of sunset. A black carriage slowly approached the noon gate and stopped at a street corner. A black veil obscured the inside of the carriage, making it impossible for passers-by to see the inside of the carriage.

There was no sound in the carriage, and the driver of the carriage seemed to be asleep, leaning on the driver, half-asleep.

The street corners were full of people, and many pedestrians looked curiously at the unmarked carriage. The two pimples approached unwillingly, and the driver who was driving the car suddenly raised his head, stared at the two pimpies with a cold gaze, grinned, and lifted the hem of his clothes without a trace with one hand, revealing half of the hilt of the knife!

The two splashes were suddenly startled and left in a panic.

After a small episode outside the carriage, the people inside the carriage remained silent as if they were not aware of it in the slightest.

After another cup of tea, the coachman looked at him for a moment, suddenly sat up straight, and said to the car: "My lord, the person has arrived." ”

The black veil that had been hanging in the car was gently lifted, and Xu Liang, the governor of Shaanxi, poked out half of his head, and his eyes fell on the noon gate in the distance.

At this time, two eunuchs in Tsing Yi were walking towards the noon gate, and one of them was Luo Bing.

The two of them checked the entrance card to the soldiers guarding the noon gate, and when they walked over, they were stopped by a purple-robed eunuch.

"Yo, isn't this Grandpa Luo and Grandpa Wei who just left the palace in the morning? Coming back so soon? The purple-robed eunuch Liu San looked at the two of them coldly, and his eyes were like seeing two fat sheep to be slaughtered.

Father-in-law Luo took two steps forward, and without faintly blocking Wei Hong behind him, he said: "Father-in-law Liu, our family and Wei Hong were ordered to go out of the palace on an errand, and after the errand is completed, we naturally have to go back to the palace." Please also ask Gonggong Liu to make it convenient for us to go in. ”

Liu San looked Grandpa Luo up and down, and sneered: "What errand ended so soon?" ”

Father-in-law Luo said angrily: "Father-in-law Liu, it's not the turn of our ceremonial supervisor to ask about the matter of Dongchang, right?" ”

Liu San was stunned when he heard this, and he was immediately a little annoyed, but Luo Bing reported the name of the celebrant eunuch, and Liu San really didn't dare to be presumptuous. Then he put his eyes on the cloth bag that Wei Hong was carrying on his shoulder, and said coldly: "What is the thing that Grandpa Wei is carrying on his shoulder?" Open it to check! ”

Wei Hong was stunned for a moment, and looked at Luo Bing a little nervously.

Father-in-law Luo shouted: "Liu San, this is a special pastry bought for Tian Guifei!" Concubine Niangniang's things, you dare to check it too?! ”

Liu San immediately arched his hands in the direction of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and shouted loudly: "Our family is ordered by the emperor to strictly inspect all people and things entering and leaving the palace. What exactly is in Grandpa Wei's bag? Dare to open it tightly and take a look. ”

Father-in-law Luo's face turned pale, and he glared at Liu San indignantly.

Luo Bing's nervous look, Liu San thought more and more that Wei Hong's bag was mostly filled with something extraordinary, his eyes lit up, and he stared at Wei Hong viciously.

The four Dongchang fanzi who followed Liu San gathered around with a cruel smile and stared at Wei Hong with fierce eyes.

"Father-in-law Liu, you have something to say!" Wei Hong showed a nervous and frightened look at the right time, hurriedly untied the cloth bag on his shoulder, spread it on the ground, and unfolded it.

"Hmph, count you kid acquaintance." Liu San said with a grin.

Immediately, Liu San squatted down, looked at the contents of the bag, and when he saw it, he was immediately disappointed!

It's a few packs of pastries!

Liu San stood up boredly and scolded Wei Hong angrily: "A few pieces of pastry, how can you wrap them so tightly?!" ”

"Yes, yes, Grandpa Liu's lesson is yes, our family knows that it is wrong." Wei Hong replied with a wincing, and then began to hurriedly re-wrap a few pieces of pastry and carry them on his shoulders.

Seeing this, Father-in-law Luo said threateningly: "Liu San, what happened today, our family will report it to Concubine Tian Guifei as it is!" ”

Liu San's face changed slightly, and he snorted coldly: "Our family is doing things according to orders, presumably the noble concubine will not blame her after she knows it." Alright, let's go. ”

Liu waved his hand, driving away Grandpa Luo and Grandpa Wei like flies.

Gonggong Luo snorted angrily and walked away with Gonggong Wei.

"What does it smell like?" Liu San sniffed suspiciously and looked around suspiciously.

At the corner of the street, Xu Liang saw the situation in the noon gate, and he asked Duan Zhigang, the head of the third gear of Tsing Yi Wei, who was driving: "Who is the purple-clothed eunuch who stopped Luo's father-in-law?" ”

Duan Zhigang said: "Liu San, the small stall head of the East Investigation Factory. ”

Xu Liang said fiercely: "After the matter of the court push is over, find a reason to clean up this bastard for me!" Grandma's, a small stall, almost ruined the official's plan! ”

Duan Zhigang said coldly: "Yes, don't worry, my lord, my subordinates will treat Gonggong Liu well." ”

Then I remembered that the day after tomorrow, Xu Liang was going to enter the palace, and couldn't help but ask worriedly: "My lord, when you enter the palace the day after tomorrow, do you want your subordinates to arrange manpower?" Just in case? My lord, my subordinates are really afraid that something will happen to you again. ”

Xu Liang looked at Duan Zhigang very funny: "The day after tomorrow, the officials have already entered the palace, and when the palace gate is closed, what is the use of you arranging more manpower outside the palace?" Don't worry, the day after tomorrow will be pushed by the court, all the officials present are the senior officials of the DPRK and the central government, if the emperor dares to mess around, this official will definitely make him regret it for the rest of his life! ”

Duan Zhigang thought about it, although he didn't say it on the surface, he still thought in his heart that he should send more people to answer outside the noon gate.

The carriage returned to the Dongjiang Annex, and it quickly became dark.

Xu Liang, Huang Daozhou, Tietou, Duan Zhigang, Yan Qi and others were discussing things in the house, when they suddenly heard the guards at the gate come in and arched their hands towards Xu Liang and said, "My lord, General Dai, the general of Tongzhou, has arrived." ”

Xu Liang was taken aback and hurriedly said, "Please!" ”

After saying that, he went out to greet him, Huang Daozhou, Tietou, Duan Zhigang, Yan Qi and others also hurriedly got up and went out with Xu Liang.

In the front yard, the general soldier of Tongzhou wore a black coat, and the whole person seemed to be shrouded in the night, and beside him, there were four guards like javelins, the same black suit.

Xu Liang hurriedly greeted Huang Daozhou and others.

"Old man Dai, why did you come here at this time?" Xu Liang asked in surprise.

Dai Feng looked Xu Liang up and down, and said in a deep voice: "The day after tomorrow is the court push, the old man guessed that as soon as the court push results came out, the virtuous son-in-law would most likely leave the capital quickly." Before you leave, the old man has a few words to talk to the virtuous son-in-law in person. ”

Xu Liang paused, sideways out of the way, and beckoned: "Old man, let's talk in the house." (To be continued.) )
