Yu Zhongchang and Qiu Yuwu discussed it, and decided to give Liao Mingsheng some gifts first, get acquainted with each other, and then ask for a meeting, and then put forward a request to make this rebellion case a small matter in due course.

Yu Zhongchang and Qiu Yuwu have been officials in Chang'an City for many years, and their family backgrounds are quite rich, so they prepared a generous gift for people to send to the palace. When the giver came back, Yu Zhongchang and Qiu Yuwu saw that the gift was not returned, and their hearts were a little fixed.

"How?"

"Back to the master, the gift has been sent over, and it has been received over there."

"Did you see Liao Qing in person?"

"County Lieutenant Liao is not here, only his subordinates are the ones who receive the gifts."

Yu Zhongchang thought to himself, now that Liao Mingsheng has become a phoenix, there will naturally be some people in his eyes.

Qiu Yuwu on the side said: "If he accepts the gift, what if he pretends to be stupid?" ”

Yu Zhongchang sneered: "He doesn't dare, he dares to pretend to be confused when he accepts the following gift." After receiving our gifts, he still dares to take money and not do things? ”

The two waited until the fifth day of the new year, and there was still no news from the palace, and when Zhongchang wanted to send someone to investigate, he learned that the curfew in Dongning Mansion was stricter than the martial law during the day, and even the official officials could not go to the street if they had official guidance.

Yu Zhongchang and Qiu Yuwuzheng were a little angry, and they heard the news that someone was coming outside.

"Master, the palace sent someone over to return the salute."

"A return gift?" Yu Zhongchang was stunned, "Let the person who returns the gift come in." ”

Originally, Yu Zhongchang thought that since Liao Mingsheng returned the gift, it was that everything was discussed, as long as he sent his worship post back through the person who returned the gift. But when he saw the people who returned the salute, his heart was half cold.

The person who came was King Lin's brother and Liu Ding, who temporarily led the garrison camp of Dongning Mansion.

"General Liu is here to ......"

"Needless to say. I'm here to return the salute. Just take the gift. I'm not going to stay here for long. Liu Ding spoke very politely, which was equivalent to blocking the door to Zhongchang.

Yu Zhongchang stepped forward to open the gift box, and the return gifts inside were not the ones they sent, but this gift was even richer.

Liu Ding added: "Don't be so blatant about giving gifts next time, otherwise you will be accused of bribery!" ”

After saying that, Liu Ding left with the guards, and met Zhongchang and Qiu Yuwu with a gray nose, and looked at each other stupidly. They probably understood why Liao Mingsheng didn't dare to associate with them. is because Liu Yu has a lot of people by Liao Mingsheng's side.

In the next two days, Yu Zhongchang and Qiu Yuwu also had no preparations to return to Xiazhou City for the time being, and they sent people around the city to inquire around to see if there was a chance to make friends with Liao Mingsheng.

Finally, they found out that although Liao Mingsheng interrogated prisoners in the palace during the day, at night, he would go back to his own courtyard in the city to rest.

"When we meet Futai, we will go out at night, and we will definitely be known by the surnamed Liu. It's not easy to see each other. Qiu Yuwu felt that Zhongchang was ready to meet people, and reminded.

"We can't go. Can't you send someone else? Yu Zhongchang said with a confident look on his face, "I found a woman." Go and make peace with this surnamed Liao on our behalf, we don't see each other, and things can be done. ”

Qiu Yuwu frowned and said, "Woman...... Reliable? ”

"The woman was originally a Qing Qi and was ransomed by the local officials, but unfortunately she was imprisoned before the government officials were involved, because she was not yet known and was not implicated for the time being, but she was trying to contact and dredge for the future. She has the same purpose as us, isn't it easy to let her go? ”

Qiu Yuwu smiled faintly, now there are many officials in Dongning Mansion who are committing crimes, and the families of these officials are also in prison or under house arrest, and few of them can move. Having such a woman who has the same position as them, and has the experience of dealing with men like a Fengyue woman, is indeed better than ordinary people, after all, men in these years despise women, thinking that they can't become big things, so naturally they don't pay attention.

Yu Zhongchang took out the street map in the city, compared the route of Liao Mingsheng to return home at night, and then ordered it in a restaurant, which meant to do things there.

"When the time comes, act on a scene and let that woman commit suicide here, which just blocks Liao Mingsheng's way, and Liao Mingsheng will definitely come out to investigate when the time comes......"

Yu Zhongchang's plan was very thorough, and his only purpose was to contact Liao Mingsheng. Now in his mind, the key point that this matter can turn around is Liao Mingsheng, and now the officialdom of the entire Huaibei Province is looking at Dongning Mansion in panic, and as the principal of the officialdom of Huaibei Province, Yu Zhongchang made up his mind to perform this drama well and pull Liao Mingsheng to his own side.

That night, Yu Zhongchang and Qiu Yuwu were both waiting for news in the house, but because of the curfew, no one was allowed to come and go on the street, and the situation was unclear, and they did not get a return from the restaurant until the next morning.

"Things are going well." The subordinates reported, "As soon as the sedan chair of the county lieutenant Liao arrived at the restaurant last night, the girl Qiao'er jumped down from the upper floor, just blocking the official sedan chair of the county lieutenant Liao. Lieutenant Liao was very angry after coming down, but after seeing that it was a girl, he was angry, and asked some questions, and then took the girl Qiao'er to the official sedan chair, saying that she was asked to go back to find a doctor together. ”

Qiu Yuwu hurriedly asked, "What about after that?" ”

His subordinates were embarrassed: "After that...... Miss Qiao'er should have returned home with Lieutenant Liao......"

Qiu Yuwu sighed: "It's hard to say whether it will be successful or not. If this matter is said by the Zhilu surnamed Liu, I am afraid that there will be a difference. ”

Yu Zhongchang knew that Liu Yu's eyeliner was most afraid of Liu Yu's eyeliner knowing about it, and he also sighed slightly: "If she succeeds, how can she send back the news, and then we will know what the position of Lu Dao's surname Liao is, and whether it is possible to contact us." ”

The two waited for a day, and they didn't investigate the exact news about Liao Mingsheng's reception of the woman in the house last night, but they knew that Liao Mingsheng had decided on the case of several people that day, and these people were all Yu Hui's protégés, and they were also powerful figures in the officialdom of Huaibei Province. Yu Zhongchang and Qiu Yuwu felt that this fire was burning closer and closer to them.

"No, it's useless to wait like this, I'll go to the palace again and ask for the one surnamed Liao." Qiu Yuwu waited for a day and couldn't hold his breath, pacing back and forth for a day, and when it was almost dusk, he finally couldn't help it.

"You go now. It doesn't work for anything. It will only make people know your timidity! ”

Yu Zhongchang said. The hand went down to inquire about the news in a hurry to come in and report. Yu Zhongchang got up and reminded: "There is news." ”

Yu Zhongchang's subordinates looked in a hurry, and hurriedly said when they entered the door: "Master, that ...... Qiao'er girl, she ...... She ......"

"What's wrong with her? He's dead? Or is something wrong? Qiu Yuwu grabbed the subordinate and asked.

"No, that Qiao'er girl, she rebelled."

"Rebellion?" Yu Zhongchang pondered the meaning of this word, and his thinking was a little unable to keep up with his thoughts.

"That's her...... She...... Alas! Master, Qiu Zhentai, that's right, that Qiao'er girl was picked up by the county lieutenant Liao last night. I didn't expect ...... They hooked up. Today, Liao County Lieutenant actually naturalized her in the official mansion, and since then Qiao'er girl is a member of his Liao family, and today she was sent back to Taikang County by Liao County Lieutenant, isn't this a rebellion? ”

Yu Zhongchang was angry, and he finally understood what was going on. It turned out that the woman fell in love with Liao Mingsheng, broke with them instead, and no longer cared about the case.

Qiu Yuwu said angrily: "It is said that the bitch is ruthless and the actor is unrighteous, and this ancient man will not deceive me!" ”

Yu Zhongchang suddenly and sadly laughed.

Qiu Yuwu immediately asked: "Yufutai, what are you ......?"

"Now the person surnamed Liao should have known your intentions, which may not be a good thing. But you and I are also dangerous. Yu Zhongchang looked at the group of officers and soldiers who suddenly poured in outside and said, "If the surname Liao can't help himself." If he deliberately doesn't make a big deal out of it, then he will understand what you and I mean and try to keep things down. But if the matter itself is led by the surname Liao, then he should be embarrassed by us. ”

As soon as the words fell, Liao Mingsheng, Liu Ding and others arrogantly led people into the Taishou Mansion.

Yu Zhongchang sighed again: "I'm afraid your good days for me are over." ”

After Liao Mingsheng entered the Taishou Mansion, his expression was indifferent, and he walked straight into the yasu, and the guards entered and trapped Liao Mingsheng and Qiu Yuwu in the center.

Yu Zhongchang's expression became very cold, and he asked, "Liao Shangcha, what do you mean by this?" ”

In the final analysis, Liao Mingsheng is just a county lieutenant, and his official character is only seven grades, if it weren't for Liu Yu's appreciation, Zhongchang wouldn't even have to say hello when he saw him. He called Liao Ming's promotion to "Shangcha", which is to illustrate one thing: You don't even have an official position, what are you dragging?

Liao Mingsheng arched his hand, but instead of saluting the two, it seemed to be worshipping someone from afar: "Lord Lin has an explanation, Niu Lu and Ling Hui conspired against the case by the official with full authority, and all those involved in the case, even the princes and nobles, and the official also have the right to cut first and then play." Lin Wang Ye also said that anyone who wants to exonerate the perpetrators in this case will not let go...... Two officials, please go back with this official and make an explanation! ”

Qiu Yuwu heard Liao Mingsheng's domineering tone, and he became angry in his heart, and shouted: "There are no tigers in the mountains, you monkey dare to be the king?" ”

Yu Zhongchang didn't want to see any conflict between Qiu Yuwu and Liao Mingsheng, so he hurriedly grabbed the impulsive Qiu Yuwu, and at this time the guards had already stepped forward to surround the two. Yu Zhongchang hurriedly said: "Liao Shangcha wants to investigate the case, and Ben Futai should fully cooperate, but this battle is ......"

Liao Mingsheng sneered: "If the two superiors cooperate, why use this official to start this battle?" Two Shangguan, please......"

Yu Zhongchang was annoyed in his heart, originally he came to make things small, but who knew that the matter was not solved, but he put himself into the pit, according to Liao Mingsheng, if he didn't make a move at the beginning, there would be nothing?

Yu Zhongchang said: "Liao Shangcha is clearly inspected, this Futai is indeed unrelated to the rebellion case......

"Whether it's related or not, we have to interrogate to find out." Liao Mingsheng leaned over and said with a cold smile, "If you don't have a ghost in your heart, will you set up a trap for this official?" That Qiao'er is just a kiln sister, and she has a bit of ability to serve people, but after all, she has never been on a big scene, and she was intimidated by the official, so she recruited everything. I think you should worry about your family when you meet Futai, sooner or later, Ling Yuan will be the same as that Qiao'er......"

Yu Zhongchang was stunned at first when he heard this, he didn't expect Liao Mingsheng to know that he had a daughter at home, and it was an only daughter.

Liao Mingsheng shouted: "Take it away!" ”

When Zhongchang was surrounded by guards, he suddenly remembered that there was once a person surnamed Liao who had gone to Xiazhou to entrust him with errands, and the matter was about two or three months ago, and Liao Mingsheng also personally went to his home to give gifts, and specially gave gifts to his family, including a gift to celebrate his daughter's marriage.

At that time, Yu Zhongchang felt that Liao Mingsheng's heart was too heavy, so he ignored it.

When he met Zhongchangdeng, he now understands that it turned out that Liao Mingsheng took the opportunity to take revenge, so when he walked into this prison door, he didn't want to get out easily. (To be continued......)
