Mrs. Liu really admires Liu Xiang, others may not know, she knows something, Liu Xiang and Xiao Hengxiao have not been on good terms for a long time, but Liu Xiang does not hold grudges, in front of so many people Xiao Ji is praised, but even more blue-eyed, the old saying is good, the prime minister is good in his belly, what he is talking about is Liu Xiang's character.

It's like that Lord He, who provoked trouble in a frivolous manner, no wonder Liu Xiang wanted to reprimand him.

"Xiangye, eat vegetables and eat vegetables." Mrs. Liu served the roast chicken for Liu Xiang, she just blamed the third daughter-in-law for being troublesome, she shouldn't have made this dish, but now that it has calmed down, she naturally sees Liu Xiang's taste.

"I'll do it myself." Liu Xiangji respected Mrs. Liu very much, hurriedly put a piece of chicken in the bowl, and then said to the people at the table: "Don't be restrained, everyone eat, eat!" ”

They each sat down, and when they were halfway through eating, the subordinates of the Liu Mansion came in to report: "Qi Qi Xiangye, Lord Xiao asks to see." ”

"Brother Xiao is here? Please. Liu Xiang put the chopsticks on the chopsticks and stepped forward.

"The lower official will see the prime minister." As soon as Xiao Heng came in, he first bowed to Liu Xiang.

"Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up! I thought you wouldn't be able to come back, but I didn't want you to be in a hurry, so I rushed to the meal. Liu Xiang was very familiar with Xiao Heng and talked to him.

"I went to the capital, I wanted to go to see Xiangye, but when I learned that Xiangye had come to Zhongshan County, I hurried here." Xiao Heng wiped his sweat.

"I'm ashamed to say that I didn't have a place to hide so I hid here from you, Brother Xiao." Liu Xiang waved his hand and complained.

"I understand, Xia Guan knows that Liu Xiang has had a headache recently." Xiao Heng said with a smile.

"Xiaguan has seen Lord Xiao." He Xu saluted towards Xiao Heng.

General Yang and Xiao Heng are officials of the same level, one article, one martial arts and four grades, and they are doing a peaceful ceremony, Xiao Heng smiled after the ceremony: "General Yang and Yang Jiezhen are really fateful, not to mention that the name is similar, this is really happy to marry the Liu Mansion, which is one of the best in Yang Jiezhen." ”

"The last general thinks too." General Yang also laughed.

The other accompanying officials, Xiucai, and figures with heads and faces all met Xiao Heng one by one. Only then did Liu Xiang hand Xiao Heng a cup of tea beside him, and he was very 'concerned' about his subordinates and said: "Seeing that you are running so dusty, come, drink a cup of tea to moisten your throat." ”

"Xie Xiangye." Xiao Heng was not polite, took the tea and drank it to the tea leaves, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, I am thirsty." ”

"Can you not be thirsty? Running that far. Liu Xiang smiled and pointed out otherwise.

As soon as this Xiaoji came to the capital to inquire about what happened five years ago, the secret guard in the palace sent a book to tell him that he wanted to dig up his bottom? doesn't look at whose territory the capital is, just relying on his small four-grade salt official, he also wants to whimsically overthrow him, which is really beyond his power.

The Shen family has all been killed by him, he wants to see what else Xiao Heng can do, if not, is it a move for him?

"Xiaguan is also in a hurry to see Xiangye, you and I haven't sat together and drunk for a long time, why don't you get drunk today?" Xiao Heng said with a smile.

"Okay, that's what I mean, come on, come on, sit down." Liu Xiang pulled Xiao Heng to sit next to him.

The maid of Liu's Mansion hurriedly added a pair of dishes and chopsticks to Lord Xiao, and Xiao Heng poured himself full of wine to toast Liu Xiang: "The amount of wine under the official is meager, and he is really not the opponent of Xiangye, Xiangye has to let the subordinate official." ”

"Eh, Brother Xiao said that you laughed, your alcohol consumption is not worse than mine, and it is not certain who will get drunk first if you really want to drink." Liu Xiang patted Xiao Heng's shoulder and said.

This Xiao Heng is indeed a talent, since he managed the salt affairs, one-tenth of the tax revenue of the court treasury was handed over from Xiao Heng, I heard that this Xiao Heng was afraid of offending him, so he left him a little thin noodles, and secretly stuffed the profits of the salt tax to the emperor in private, these silvers, if Xiao Heng can contribute to him, how good it should be, but this Xiao Heng is a dead eye, one must not offend him, two do not take refuge in him, every time I see him, he is respectful, like a cotton, how to knead and trample, hurt him less than a cent, so over time, They get along with each other as they are now, and they are polite on their faces.

"This time when you enter Beijing to face the saint, the emperor praises you again, right?" Liu Xiang asked.

"It's just to do your job well, what is there to boast about, the emperor has always treated the officials of the court and the central government leniently, the prime minister has served in two dynasties, and the emperor has praised the prime minister is countless, if there is no prime minister in this court, I am afraid that the country will not be the country, and the prime minister should not damage the lower officials in front of the younger generations, and the lower officials are really embarrassed." Xiao Heng returned very decently.

This Liu Xiang likes to grasp the movements of officials in the DPRK and China the most, speculating on the emperor's intentions, and the dialogue between him and the emperor is naturally to talk to him.

"Drink, drink." Liu Xiang and Xiao Heng have exchanged hands so many times, and they know that it is impossible for Xiao Heng to stand on his side, so they don't ask, between them, as long as they catch each other's handles, they can't wait to trample each other to death to relieve their hatred.

After three rounds of drinking, He Xu's hand came over, muttered a few words in He Xu's ear and went down.

"Lord He, what are you muttering there?" Liu Xiang saw that the time had come, so he asked He Xu.

He Xu glanced at Xiao Heng with interest, raised his eyebrows, and replied to Liu Xiang's words: "When old friends meet, it is inevitable that they will talk a little, which will make Xiangye laugh." ”

"Old friends?" Liu Xiang became interested, sighed, and asked, "Where is your old friend?" Why don't you invite him in and join us? ”

"The lower official has ordered someone to bring it." When He Xu replied, he stared at Xiao Heng with a smile in his eyes, and the four big words 'You are dead' were written all over his face.

Xiao Ji is very worried about his father, all the bureaus today are set up for his father, if he is not careful, his father will be taken away from the position of salt official by Liu Xiang, and his life will not be guaranteed.

How can he accompany his father to solve this deadlock? Xiao Ji is anxious and doesn't know what to do.

He Xu's subordinates came over with a seven-foot-long man, who was as burly and tall as General Yang, but unfortunately the sleeve of his right sleeve was knotted, fluttering and empty, which seemed extremely incommensurate with him.

"What's the matter?" General Yang exclaimed.

Isn't he supposed to dispose of the corpses of those who died in battle and sick in the barracks? How did you get here? He remembered he hadn't brought him.

"It turns out that this person is General Yang's subordinate, but this is strange, how can this manager under General Yang be friends with Master He? Oooh oh. Liu Xiang seemed to suddenly understand, and said with a smile: "I know this Xiang, what is your surname, are you a family?" ”

He Xu shook his head, looked at Xiao Heng and said: "This steward and subordinate only met once when he went to General Yang's military camp to collect the corpses of the soldiers killed in the Han County two and a half years ago, and drank wine once. ”

When Xiao Heng heard this, the teacup holding the wine almost trembled slightly......

Xiao Ji looked at his father very worriedly, if it weren't for the many people who were there, he wouldn't have been able to kill He Xu and escape with his father in full view, otherwise he would have decided to do it.

His father's rescue of Lian Hao was shaken out, but he was afraid that his father's official position would not be saved, what should he do? What to do?

Xiao Ji, who was very anxious, was sitting in a precarious position at this time, his hand was suddenly held by his father, and a warm current poured into his heart, for some reason, he suddenly calmed down and looked at his father in a daze.

"Why did Lord He bring this child An'er here?" Xiao Heng asked without a little wave.

Liu Xiang appreciated the father and son more and more, such a calm breath, it is indeed a great thing.

"Naturally, it's for a case." He Xuyan smiled, his expression full of pride.

"Oh." Xiao Heng nodded lightly, and asked the person with the broken arm with a concerned face: "An'er, have you been involved in some lawsuit?" Need your cousin to take care of it for you? ”

"Hahaha......"

He Xu burst into laughter, causing everyone at the banquet to gather on him.

Liu Xiang's eyebrows frowned even tighter, and he scolded secretly: Waste!

If it weren't for the fact that this matter was not suitable for others to do, he really didn't want to use this He Xu to help him do this, this person did it, and being a county magistrate was all to promote him, so carried away, how could it be a big deal?

Xiao Ji is the same age as him, and he is from the same world, but Xiao Ji is much better than this He Xu in terms of political performance and calmness.

Smart and talented people are not easy to be manipulated by others, this is the biggest internal injury in Liu Xiang's heart, otherwise he would have owned the world a long time ago.

He Xu noticed the displeasure on Liu Xiang's face, so he restrained his temperament and said respectfully to Liu Xiang: "Xiangye, the lower official still wants to bring this He steward to help testify to try a case, and the lower official will be out of company first." ”

"Trial? What kind of case is being heard? Liu Xiang asked knowingly.

"It is a case of a pioneer under General Yang who faked his death and defected two and a half years ago." He Xu replied.

"What does that have to do with General Yang's steward?" Liu Xiang asked very casually.

"Xiangye doesn't know, the reason why Lian Hao, who was in the army, was able to fake his death and escape, all relied on the help of Lord Xiao Hengxiao."

"What nonsense!" Liu Xiang shouted angrily: "Lord Xiao is a dignified and four-grade salt official in the court, and the emperor relies on a red man, how can he save a prisoner who is in the army?" Ridiculous! ”

He Xu clasped his fists at Liu Xiangji and said conclusively: "The lower officials have found out, it is indeed Lord Xiao who instructed He to let Lian Hao go, and I don't believe that Xiangye asked him personally." ”

Xiao Heng smiled, just with He Xu's ability, he could find out that he instructed He Jian'an to let Lian Hao go? It's good at putting gold on your face.

Liu Xiang looked at He Jian'an, He Jian'an knelt down and replied succinctly: "Exactly!" ”

Liu Xiang was in trouble, and his eyes moved to Xiao Heng, who was sitting firmly beside him, "This? ”

Xiao Heng said to Liu Xiang generously: "Xiangye doesn't have to be embarrassed, since Master He found out that it was the nephew of the subordinate who instructed the subordinate to let go of Lian Hao, who was in charge of the army, let's do things according to the law." ”

"How can this work, you are the fourth rank of the main position, Lord He is just the county commander of the seventh grade, his position has no right to interrogate you, so let's do it, the prime minister is in charge, the case is taken back to the capital, and the prime minister will personally play it to the emperor before making a decision?" Liu Xiang still politely asked Qi Xiaoheng's opinion.

Xiao Heng stood up, bowed to Liu Xiang and saluted: "Everything obeys Xiangye." ”
