Xu Liang didn't know that because he didn't return to Wan'an, the Xu Mansion had already fallen out, and even Xu Changkun, the eldest lord of the Xu family, was sent by the old lady to arrest him.

An open carriage, a yellow and thin horse, with an iron head and a hat on his head, sat in the front of the car and drove the car unhurriedly, Xu Liang lay on his back on the car, looking at the blue sky and white clouds in the sky.

"Ah Tie, where have we been?" He asked.

"Young master, we have already passed Fengcheng County, and in front of us is the boundary of Linjiang Mansion." Iron Head Road.

This is going to go out of Nanchang Mansion? Xu Liang muttered. He looked back at the back again, and there were few pedestrians on the official road, only pedestrians carrying bags in three or two.

"Alas, Ah Tie, how far ahead is there an inn? Young Master Ben's body is about to stink. ”

Tietou turned his head and held his head, and said, "Young master, don't worry, enter the boundary of Linjiang Mansion, and you will be able to reach Zhangshu Town immediately." ”

"Hmm!" Xu Liang lay down lazily again, and took a straw hat to cover his head and face. Although there was no direct sunlight, it was still unusually hot, and he sighed, alas, he would have known that he would have changed to a covered carriage......

Zhangshu Town is in sight, and the big wine flag at the head of the town can be seen clearly. Xu Liang perked up, sat up, and urged the iron head to speed up and catch up. It's better to rest early.

At this time, two fast horses, rolling up a cloud of dust, swept past Xu Liang's carriage. After the horse, Xu Liang was choked and coughed for a while, and the carriage looked like it had just been fished out of the mound, and the dust was mixed with sweat on his body, and he was uncomfortable for a while.

"Ahem, what kind of person is this, so arrogant!" Xu Liang scolded.

"Young master, it looks like they are officials, and we are afraid that we can't afford to provoke them." Iron Head looked at the backs of the two fast horses for a while, and said.

Xu Liang listened to it, and it has been said since ancient times that if the people do not fight with the officials, they will lose ten fights. I can't afford to mess with them like this, uh, no, this young master is also a famous person now! Hmph, if I get an official in the future, I have to find a chance to cure this gang! Xu Liang muttered to himself in his heart.

Before arriving at the hotel, Xu Liang and Tietou looked into the shed in front of the hotel, and saw that there were only four or five tables in total, all of which were already full, and the people in the shed were drinking tea or wine while fanning the cool breeze.

Xu Liang looked around and saw that there were only two people sitting on a table of eight immortals in the west corner of the shed, and there was still a place for people to sit. At that moment, he and the iron head picked up the vacant seats on both sides and sat down.

"Little Er, give us two pots of herbal tea first!" Xu Liang sat down and shouted at the counter.

"Okay, the two of you will sit down first, and the herbal tea will come soon." The little two behind the counter answered.

"Hey, you're blind, don't you see anyone at this table?" A cold drink rang out. It turned out to be one of the two people who sat first, and he looked up at Xu Liang and shouted. Xu Liang looked at it and secretly said that these two people were clearly the two officials who had just splashed their bodies with dirt. The officer who spoke was about forty years old, with a beard.

"This table is so big, you can't sit down, what's the matter with us sitting down?" Xu Liang pointed to the empty seats on both sides and said.

"Yoho!" The beard snapped out the knife from behind his waist and put it heavily on the table, shouting: "Master sits at this table, then no one is allowed to come and mix again!" I sue you for being poor, uncle, I have received an important errand, if you sit at our table and affect my uncle's rest, and then delay my uncle's errand, I have to arrest you two for the crime of obstructing official business! ”

"You dare?" At this time, Tietou stepped forward and protected Xu Liang behind him, "My young master is a person who has won the meritorious examination. ”

"Haha!" The bearded man laughed, looked at Xu Liang, and sneered, "Just you? Still lifting people? Laughing to death, I just passed by to see the tattered carriage you sat in, but it is not as good as the board car that goes in and out of the city gate of Nanchang Mansion every morning and evening to pull urine and feces. Do you want to pretend to be an identity like this? It's really rare. He sneered for a while, waved his hand impatiently, and said, "Hurry up and dodge!" ”

Tietou was so angry that his face was flushed, and he looked at the official ** angrily, Xu Liang was standing, and he was also furious in his heart. He endured his anger, pulled his iron head, and said coldly: "What is the identity of Young Master Ben, there is really no need for the two of you to know. Hmph, isn't the official errand of Nanchang Mansion amazing? A few days ago, when the young master was drinking in the yamen, the official on duty poured wine for the young master, and he was very kind, that is, the housekeeper of Lord Huang Weizhong's family was also very polite to the young master, since the two of them cared so much about this seat, the two of them sat down, slowly, and drank tea and rested, and the young master didn't bother! With that, he pulled the iron head and left. He shouted to the shopkeeper again: "Little Er, bring two pots of tea and two pots of wine to the car I brought!" ”

"This son, please stay!" At this time, another official, who had not spoken, got up and spoke.

"What? Does the poor master want this young master to pay for the wine for you? Xu Liang said.

"Hehe, Childe laughed." The official had a square face and a bearish waist, and was very strong, but he was younger than the beard, only about thirty. He arched his hand and said: "The two of us are on an errand in the Yamen of the Political Envoy Division, and listening to what Gongzi said, I guess Gongzi is also a person from Qiuqiu High School this time." The small surname Fang, has not asked the son's name? ”

Xu Liang saw that although this person's limbs were developed, his speech was quite decent, and he no longer had a cold face at the moment, his expression was slightly relaxed, and he also arched his hand: "It turned out to be Master Fangcha." He puffed up his chest and said proudly: "Yes, Young Master Ben is the person who lifted the exam in this autumn examination, a few days ago, Lord Huang held a deer banquet in the Yamen of the Political Envoy, and Young Master Ben participated. ”

When the official heard this, his tone was even more polite, and he kicked the beard that was still sitting, and the two of them saluted Xu Liang in unison: "It's disrespectful and disrespectful to come like this." He moved the empty seat away, greeted Xu Liang politely and sat down, and politely poured tea.

Fang Guancha said again: "Since the prince is also the person who raised the person this time, I don't know if the prince can recognize Xu Liang from Wan'an County, Ji'an Prefecture, Master Xu?" ”

Xu Liang was surprised when he heard this, and he said: "I am Xu Liang, but the two masters are looking for me?" ”

The two officials glanced at each other in surprise, and Fang Guancha asked cautiously, "Young Master Xu, do you know what ranking you have obtained?" ”

Xu Lianghu glanced at the two of them suspiciously, and said in a deep voice: "Although Young Master Ben's ranking is not high, he is only the ninetieth in the top three, what's the matter?" Do you still have doubts? ”

Fang Guancha put his mind at ease, rubbed his hands, and smiled awkwardly, "Hehe, hehe, this is really a big flood that washed the Dragon King Temple, and my family doesn't know my own family." Master Xu, you can let our brothers find it for a while. After our brothers heard that you were leaving to return to Wan'an, it was really non-stop, chasing you all the way, and it can be regarded as catching you up here. ”

Xu Liang ate and asked, "Uh, what are you chasing me for?" ”

Fang Guancha looked quite affectionate, and said, "Master Xu, we were sent by Lord Huang to pick you up to discuss matters in the mansion......

On the Huang Weizhong Mansion of Nanchang Mansion, the Jiangxi Political Envoy met Xu Liang who was brought back by Fang Guancha from Huang Weizhong, the four-rank senator, and changed his previous cold look, and he was watching the seat and serving tea, which made Xu Liang very flattered.

Huang Weizhong sat on the Taishi chair and dragged his fat belly with both hands, and said to Xu Liang cordially: "Nephew Xu Xian, uh, I think that my grandfather Xu Lao is also a world friend, and it would be too angry to call you by your name." Is it appropriate for me to call you Shengxian Nephew? ”

Xu Liang sat down, nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "Make it." The student has long wanted to call you Uncle Huang, but I'm afraid that Uncle will blame the student for being abrupt. ”

"Haha," Huang Weizhong laughed heartily, "Okay." Your uncle screamed, and the old man was overjoyed. ”

The two laughed cordially. Huang Weizhong looked at Xu Liang solemnly, and said: "The matter of the virtuous nephew, the old man has thought about it, well, the virtuous nephew is young, and he has a heart to contribute to the country, which is very good." After many discussions between the old man and the governor, uh, and Zhou Yingqiu and Zhou Butang in the capital, it was decided to send you to Jianchang County to fill the gap in the canonical history. ”

Xu Liang was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly got up and bowed deeply to Huang Weizhong, and said, "Thank you Uncle Huang for your cultivation and care, my nephew will definitely do things carefully in the future, but Uncle Huang will be the first to look forward." ”

"yes, okay." Huang Weizhong couldn't help but be very satisfied when he saw Xu Liang so upright. He said: "I told you about this matter, you will go to the political envoy Yamen to get the approval and go to Jianchang to take office. ”

"Yes, nephew, let's go." Xu Liang heard this and hurriedly said.

"Huh?" Huang Weizhong choked, waved his hand and said: "You don't need to be in such a hurry, this time you go to Jianchang, I still have to explain some things to you." ”

"Uncle, please speak!"

"Jianchang was in turmoil, and even the county seat was broken by Poyang Lake, which was extremely shocking to the court. The emperor has issued an order to investigate the cause. When you go to Jianchang, the first task is to find out the cause of the turmoil, although Jianchang County Cheng and Dianshi have all died in the line of duty, but whether there were mistakes in their command and decision-making during their lifetime, which led to such a big thing and caused tens of thousands of innocent people to suffer. Especially Feng Daolin, the history of Jianchang, as a county history, was not responsible for local security, how could he lead troops out of the city, and was ambushed by Shui Kou, and the whole army was wiped out! You have to find out the inside story carefully and report it to me. ”

Huang Weizhong thought for a while and said: "This matter, Zhou Butang of the Ministry of Officials also attaches great importance to it, if you do your errand well, the old man will definitely speak for you in front of Zhou Butang, and the benefits are indispensable for you." ”

After Xu Liang left, Huang Weizhong returned to the study and began to write a letter to Zhou Yingqiu, the secretary of the current court. "The teacher is above, and the student Huang Weizhong wrote and replied that the matter of Jianchang has been properly arranged by the student, and the major event will not be missed......"
