Xu Liang entered the Dongjiang Courtyard with his head held high, and Grandpa Luo was dragged in by two Tsing Yi guards like dead dogs, thrown into the living room, and sat on the ground. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Xu Liang looked at Gonggong Luo condescendingly, and calculated with his fingers: "Gonggong Luo, if the official is not wrong, you have collected a full 70,000 taels of silver from the official, and now there are less than 50,000 taels of silver back." That's a short of twenty thousand taels of silver. Father-in-law, how are you going to pay me off? ”

Father-in-law Luo suddenly wanted to cry without tears, raised his head and said pitifully: "Lord Xu, the little one dares to swear to the sky, I really only took a few thousand taels of silver tickets, and the number of 70,000 taels you said, I really don't know where to start?" ”

"Huh?" Xu Liang looked at him coldly, with a displeased expression: "Listen to what you mean, are you saying that this official framed you?" ”

Father-in-law Luo said with a heart: Isn't it a frame! However, the situation is stronger than people, several Tsing Yi guards in the living room are eyeing each other, Xu Liang's eyes are also quite dangerous, and Luo Gonggong is worried that once he nods and says yes, most of them will die without a corpse.

"I didn't ...... That's not what it means to be small......" Grandpa Luo hung his head and said resignedly.

Xu Liang snorted lightly, "Count you as acquaintances." Then, how does Grandpa Luo plan to pay off the 20,000 taels? ”

Father-in-law Luo said in frustration: "The little one is penniless now, and he really can't come up with the money." Lord Xu wanted to repay the money for the small one, so he had to deduct it from the small errand month. ”

"Hmm, how much can you get for a month?"

Gonggong Luo was slightly confident, and said: "There are as many as five taels of monthly salaries in the palace, plus the rewards of several adults, and the rewards given by the emperor and queen and the ladies of each palace, add up to more than a dozen taels." ”

Xu Liang sighed: "This official calculates that you can earn twenty taels a month, two hundred and forty taels a year, only two thousand four in ten years, and it will take a hundred years to make up 20,000 taels." Father-in-law Luo, do you want to wait for a hundred years? ”

Gonggong Luo suddenly had a bitter mouth, and said helplessly: "Lord Xu, this is already all the property of the small one, if the adult can't wait, there is no way to kill the little one." ”

"Hey, you're a bone!" Xu Liang scolded with a smile, rolled his eyes, thought for a while, and then said mysteriously: "Gonggong Luo is on an errand in the celebrant supervisor, and this official has thought of a good way to help Gonggong Luo pay off his debts as soon as possible." ”

Luo Bing suddenly looked up in surprise and exclaimed in surprise: "Please give me advice!" ”

Xu Liang laughed for a while, and the laughter made Luo's father-in-law shiver all over his body.

"Since my father-in-law is the celebrant of ceremonies, there must be a way to bring a person into the palace quietly?"

When Luo Bing heard this, he shook his head again and again: "No, the palace is heavily guarded, and small people have to go through layers of searches to enter and exit the palace, and it is more difficult to bring someone into the palace than to ascend to the sky." ”

Xu Liang said: "The person that the official wants you to bring into the palace can be a eunuch." ”

Gonggong Luo was stunned, but still refused, "The eunuch won't be able to do it either." The eunuchs in the palace are all counted, and a new face suddenly appears, and it will soon be found out. ”

Xu Liang looked at Luo Bing playfully and said, "The palace is so big, there is always a way to hide someone." Grandpa Luo is an old man in the palace, and he will definitely think of some solutions. ”

"Lord Xu, this ...... It's a head-scratching thing! Grandpa Luo said with a bitter face.

Xu Liang saw that he had said so much bitterly, and this kid still didn't get into trouble, so he couldn't help but turn cold in an instant, and said in a deep voice: "Father-in-law, the way to pay off the debt, the official has already thought of it for you, as long as you bring people into the palace, the 20,000 taels of silver are owed, and the official will pay it off for you." Otherwise, I can't wait a hundred years for you to pay off your debts. I can't say that the 20,000 taels of silver will be used as the money for Luo's father-in-law's life, and the so-called dead account will be eliminated, and if you are killed, the account will naturally not have to be returned. This official believes that since the emperor threw you at the gate of my courtyard, the emperor will not care about your life and death. Choose the two paths yourself. ”

After saying that, Xu Liang sat down quietly and looked at Grandpa Luo coldly.

Father-in-law Luo's expression suddenly changed, hesitating, tangled, struggling, afraid and other emotions played out on his face.

In the end, the desire for life made Luo Gonggong gradually make up his mind. As Xu Liang said, Emperor Chongzhen hurriedly promised Xu Liang to retrieve the 70,000 taels of silver that was stolen for him, and when he returned, he found that he had unknowingly fallen for Xu Liang again. Of course, this dumb Emperor Chongzhen was very unwilling, but fortunately, there was a scapegoat. So Gonggong Luo, who was responsible for searching Xu Liang's body, and four guards were ordered by the emperor to rush to the Dongjiang Courtyard, and the emperor said: If Xu Liang can't be satisfied, there is no need for Gonggong Luo to return to the palace.

The emperor said cruelly, at this time, even if Xu Liang really chopped up Gonggong Luo on the spot, I believe that the emperor would not even put one more fart.

It's better to be alive than anything else! Gonggong Luo finally realized this clearly, so he made up his mind and said to Xu Liang: "Lord Xu, it is not trivial to bring a fresh face into the palace, and the small one has to go back and plan carefully." ”

Xu Liang nodded with satisfaction, "You can go back and prepare first, but the official doesn't give you much time, only two days." After two days, if you can't satisfy the official, then there is only a dead end, believe me, even if you hide in the inner courtyard of the deep palace, it will be easy for the official to kill you. ”

Grandpa Luo broke out in a cold sweat on his head: "I, I know." ”

Since Gonggong Luo was willing to cooperate, Xu Liang didn't embarrass him anymore and let him go.

As soon as Gonggong Luo left the Dongjiang Courtyard, Huang Daozhou and Tietou came back with ugly faces. The two entered the living room, and saw Xu Liang sitting there drinking tea leisurely, so the two of them found a place to sit at random, and their heads were silent.

Xu Liang's eyelids lifted: "What's wrong?" All of them look like frosted eggplants? ”

"My lord, you asked the lower officials and the iron stall head to visit those adults who are qualified to vote in court, in our opinion, this is completely self-inflicted!" Even if Zodiac Zhou is known for his steadiness, the words spoken at this time are also mixed with a lot of gunpowder.

Xu Liang smiled slightly, "It seems that Lord Huang seems to have suffered a lot of grievances in the morning." ”

Huang Daozhou's face turned dark, and he said depressedly: "Lord Mingjian! In the morning, Xiaguan and Tietou went to visit Li Tengfang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Yang Guodong, the secretary of the Ministry of War. Li Tengfang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, used to be as good as a brother to his subordinates, and he met Brother Huang, who was short, and very cordial. Unexpectedly, this time the lower official came to the door, then Li Tengfang seemed to be a different person, seeing the lower official, he said some polite words lukewarmly, and when the lower official pointed out the meaning of asking Li Tengfang to take care of the lower official in the court, the old thing was like being bitten by a snake suddenly, hum, haha, no one was allowed to believe it. ”

Xu Liang thought about it, and said with a smile: "Li Laoshangshu originally had this kind of character as a wall-to-wall grass, and if you come to the door so rashly, of course Li Shangshu won't dare to answer you clearly." ”

Huang Daozhou was indignant, and shouted with a gloomy face: "What's even more hateful is that Yang Guodong, the secretary of the military department, since Sun Chengzong, the governor of Jiliao, arrived in Beijing, this Yang Guodong has finally trembled. This time, when the lower official went to see him, Yang Guodong didn't say a word to the lower official, and he wanted to send people off. What else did he say that he was a student of Sun Ge Lao, and he would definitely give his full support to Sun Ge Lao and persuade the subordinate officials not to be delusional! I'm really angry! ”

Tietou raised his eyelids and said, "Yang Shangshu only drove us out, and also threw all the things we carried through the crack in the door!" ”

"I'm so!!" Huang Daozhou scolded angrily.

Xu Liang was stunned, he really didn't expect that Yang Guodong, who usually looks quiet, would have such a backbone side. However, thinking that this person has always been the head of the old horse of Sun Pavilion, Xu Liang was not surprised.

When Xu Liang heard this, he was still smiling, blowing the tea leaves on the teacup, and gently sipping the tea, looking like an old god was there.

"My lord, Li Tengfang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites who has always been good friends with us, has this attitude, not to mention other officials. According to Xia Guan, if you let Xia Guan and Tietou go to visit these people and use their hot faces to stick to other people's cold butts, there is really no need to do this kind of stupid thing anymore. Seeing that Xu Liang was not angry, Huang Daozhou couldn't help but be anxious, and said angrily.

Xu Liang sighed lightly, slowly put down the teacup, glanced at Huang Daozhou and Tie Tou, and then said with an unfathomable expression: "This official asked you to visit those adults one by one, and I didn't think that you would be able to win their support. What this official wants is just an attitude in the eyes of the government and the opposition. That is, before the court push, as one of the candidates, Yushi Huang Daozhou, who was one of the candidates, had visited those adults one by one very sincerely. ”

Huang Daozhou and Tietou exchanged glances, a little abrupt.

"My lord, I understand what you mean." Huang Daozhou said thoughtfully: "Do you want to let the lower officials make a show, and let the court know that this is the case?" ”

Xu Liang nodded appreciatively, "The son can be taught!" ”

Huang Daozhou didn't understand: "Can the lower officials ask, is there any mystery in this?" ”

The iron head then looked at it with great curiosity, and pricked up his ears to listen.

Xu Liang shook his head mysteriously, "What are the plans of this official, you will know when the time comes." This is not the time to speak up. ”

Huang Daozhou nodded, but he didn't ask again, he believed Xu Liang, since Xu Liang didn't say it now, there was a reason why he didn't say it. Zodiac Zhou only needs to strictly follow the instructions.

Just thinking that there would be more cold eyes and ridicule in the afternoon, Huang Daozhou sighed helplessly: "Alas, I have to see their stinky faces in the afternoon!" Why is my life so miserable? ”

"It's bitter!" Iron Head also sighed.

Xu Liang listened, smiled slightly, and said: "Dao Zhou, Tietou, you just want to be a show, as long as more people see that you have visited those adults, if you don't want to see the faces of those people, bring the words and gifts, and you can almost leave and rush to the next family." ”

Huang Daozhou and Tietou were shocked when they heard this, and they both bowed their hands and said happily: "We understand. ”

Huang Daozhou and Tietou followed Xu Liang's instructions to visit those adults one by one. At the same time, in the Yangxin Palace, Cao Huachun, the governor of the Dongchang Factory, reported every move of the Dongchang Factory to Emperor Chongzhen.

The emperor looked puzzled, thought for a while, and said with a smile: "What the hell is Xu Liang doing?" Did he think that if he asked the Zodiac Zhou to visit those adults temporarily, those adults would support the Zodiac Zhou? It's ridiculous, if the officials of the Ming Dynasty could be bought so easily, then I would have been much more relieved! ”

Cao Huachun bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, Huang Daozhou did not go empty-handed, he also prepared gifts of great value. ”

The emperor laughed even more heartily, snorted lightly, and pouted disdainfully: "Innocent! ”

Si Li Bingbi Wang Chengen, who was waiting on the side, interjected: "Your Majesty, Xu Liang has always done things whimsically, and there is no law to follow. This person has been silent for so many days, and suddenly making such a move seems to make people laugh, most of which have deep meanings that we can't understand. The emperor has to be more vigilant. ”

The emperor smiled slightly, nodded slowly, and said in a deep voice, "Cheng En is right. Xu Liang is often able to create many unexpected miracles. Cao Huachun, if you send more people, you must keep an eye on Xu Liang's every move. ”

"The minions obey." Cao Huachun bowed and said.

The emperor paced a few steps in the hall, suddenly looked at Wang Chengen again, and asked, "By the way, Luo Bing, who returned to the palace, did he interrogate anything useful?" ”

Wang Chengen shook his head lightly and said, "There is nothing to find for the time being. According to Luo Bing's confession, he and the other four guards scraped together nearly 50,000 taels of silver to send to Xu Liang, and it seemed that Xu Liang would soon be able to dry it. Presumably, Xu Liang also knew that the number of 70,000 taels was a lion's big mouth, so he took the opportunity to blackmail and got 50,000 taels of silver for nothing, and Xu Liang should be quite satisfied. That's why they let go of Luo Bing so easily. ”

When the emperor heard this, he didn't know what he remembered, and said very unhappily: "This Luo Bing is not enough to succeed, and he is more than defeated!" If it weren't for the fact that this person was in charge of searching Xu Liang too thoroughly, how could I and Wen Ge Lao's foolproof plan come to this point! It's so hateful to force me to make such a poisonous oath! Luo Bing, it's not appropriate to stay in the celebrant anymore, you can find an excuse and send him to the Huanyi Bureau. ”

Wang Chengen responded: "The emperor can rest assured, after this court push, the old slave will start to arrange this matter." Not only Luo Bing had to be severely punished, but the four guards had to be dealt with together. ”

The emperor snorted lightly and said indifferently: "These little things, Cheng'en, you can watch and do them." ”

The emperor pondered for a while, but he still had no idea about Xu Liang's intentions, and couldn't help but be a little annoyed, it seemed that all things, as long as Xu Liang was involved, the emperor always felt a little out of control. Shaking his head fiercely to drive away these irritating emotions, the emperor instructed Wang Chengen again: "No matter what Xu Liang wants to play, Chengen, you bring a message to Wen Tiren and Sun Chengzong, this court push, be sure to drive Huang Daozhou down!" Otherwise, Wen Tiren, the first assistant, don't think about being it! (To be continued.) )
