The afternoon sun is still fierce, the autumn tiger is still releasing its aftermath, the hot air is filled with a faint fragrance of osmanthus, and it is August again.

At this moment, in the East Flower Hall of Yahou Hall in Yuncheng County, a table of wine was also set up, and the table full of delicacies were all from the hands of the most famous chefs in Yuncheng County, and the wine was also a fine wine that had been cellared for 20 years, however, the eunuch Huang Jin was a little unapprehended at this time, and even a little embarrassed.

Because three of the four people who sat at the same table at this time had been put in a cell by him himself, and had been tortured, but now they were all dressed and smiling lightly with him.

At this time, the people present were: Luo Xiang, the eunuch of Shandong Province, Song Chi, the governor of Yanzhou Prefecture, Zhang Wensheng, the governor of Yanzhou Prefecture, and Zhao Fengchun, the commander of Yanzhou Guard.

The eunuch Luo Xiang is in his fifties, wearing a long beard with a dark plate collar and a gauze crown on his head, and his old face like a big cake is thin and powdered, which is very in line with the image of the eunuch in the TV series, he picked up his wine glass and said with a smile: "Our family wants to congratulate Governor Song, Zhang Tongzhi, and Commander Zhao for getting a snow, come on, everyone toast Huang Gonggong." ”

Song Chi, the prefect of Yanzhou, raised his glass when he heard this, and said like "grateful": "Thanks to Gonggong Huang's discernment, we were able to rehabilitate Zhaoxue. ”

Tongzhi Zhang Wensheng and Yanzhou Wei Commander Zhao Fengchun also hurriedly raised their wine glasses and echoed: "What Lord Song said is very true, Huang Gonggong is aware of everything, and he returned our innocence, this kindness is unforgettable, I salute Huang Gonggong with a glass." ”

Huang Jin smiled and had a cup with the four of them.

Luo Xiang put down his wine glass and said in a deep voice: "Guo Gang, the governor of Puzhou, is really hateful, even if he steals and sells official food, he even falsifies the account book to frame Shangguan, and it is not an exaggeration to rob the three clans." ”

Song Chi sighed and said: "If this kind of thing happens under the rule of this mansion, the lower officials are also guilty of not noticing, so they will write to the emperor to ask for guilt." After speaking, Ruoruo glanced at Huang Jin on the other side meaningfully.

Luo Xiangxu nodded matter-of-fact and said: "Governor Song, you can't run away from the crime of dereliction of duty, but the top priority is to immediately open a warehouse to release grain for disaster relief, especially the people in the area of Puzhou and Caozhou, who have suffered two floods in a row and are in dire straits, if you delay any longer, I am afraid that the people will change!" ”

Song Chi hurriedly said: "What Father-in-law Luo said is very true, and the lower officials will do their best to assist Father-in-law Huang in disaster relief. ”

Luo Xiang nodded approvingly, and said to Huang Jin: "Huang Gonggong, now that the whereabouts of Xiao Huai and Xu Jin are unknown, the burden of disaster relief will fall on your shoulders...... Hehe, fortunately, now that the prefect of Song is doing his best to assist, there should be no mistakes. By the way, when is Gonggong Huang going to play to rehabilitate Song Zhifu and others? ”

Huang Jinzhi said: "This ...... We haven't started writing yet, so we will rush to Beijing as soon as we finish writing the recital tonight. ”

Luo Xiang smiled and said: "After all, Gonggong Huang is young and lacks some experience, how about we refer to one or two details for you after the book is written?" ”

Huang Jinyan gritted his teeth and nodded: "That's a good dare!" ”

Song Chi, Zhang Wensheng, and Zhao Fengchun glanced at each other, secretly proud in their hearts, and raised their glasses again to thank Huang Jin.

It is said that a few days ago, Luo Xiang, the eunuch guarding the town, carried ten boxes of gold, silver and jewelry in Puzhou to see Huang Jin, and asked him to stop continuing to investigate the granary deficit case, and release Song Chi and other government-level officials, and only take county-level officials to take the black pot.

At that time, Huang Jin hesitated for a long time, but when he heard that there were sporadic civil unrest in some places, he finally compromised and followed the eunuch Luo Xiang from Puzhou to Yuncheng County to release Song Chi and others who were imprisoned in the cell.

Originally, Xu Jin had sent Jinyi Wei to Puzhou the day before yesterday to inform Huang Jin to transfer grain to Caozhou, and then at this time Huang Jin had already left Puzhou and returned to Yuncheng County, so he didn't receive a notice, so he naturally didn't know that Xu Jin was still alive, otherwise he wouldn't have done it, and he wouldn't have dared to compromise!

At this time, a man with a knife walked in and reported: "Father-in-law Luo, there is a guard outside the city, claiming to be Gui Dewei who was ordered by the Ministry of War to enter Yanzhou, please make a decision!" ”

Song Chi, Zhang Wenchang and Zhao Fengchun's eyes were a little flustered when they heard this, but Eunuch Luo waved his hand calmly, in fact, he had already received the news that Xiao Huai had written to request the transfer of Gui Dewei into Yanzhou, otherwise he would not have chosen to strike first, and personally ran from Jinan to find Huang Jin afterwards.

What can we do now that we are here? Anyway, Xiao Huai and Xu Jin have no bones left, and the eunuch Huang Jin has been subdued again, so Luo Xiang is very calm, and it is a big deal to entertain Dewei with good wine and food for a while, and then send them back to Henan.

Luo Xiangpi said with a smile: "Gonggong Huang, Gui Dewei was sent by Master Xiao to request transfer before his death, and now I am afraid that you will have to come forward to receive it!" ”

Huang Xiang stood up helplessly and said, "Let's go out of the city to greet us." ”

Luo Xiang said: "Henan's Weisho army came to Shandong, our family Tian is guarding Shandong, and it should be as good as a landlord, let's go, our family will accompany Huang Gonggong out of the city together!" ”

So, all five people in the audience stood up and led the guards and servants to the south gate of the city.

At this time, there were many flags outside the south gate of the city, and more than 5,000 horses were lined up in front of the guard. At the front of the line, a group of brocade guards were hugging a handsome young man in a white robe. This young man was about seventeen or eighteen years old, born with red teeth and white teeth, and he was standing on horseback calmly, and it was none other than Xu Jin, the deputy envoy of the Qin Mission.

Dozens of Jinyi guards led by Sima Yuan, as well as a group of generals from Gui Dewei, all gathered near Xu Jin at this moment, staring at the direction of the city gate with their eyes brushed.

It is said that although the Gui Dewei led by Huang Qi set off one day earlier, the speed of the infantry was naturally not as fast as that of the horse, so although Xu Jin and the others set off a day late, they still caught up with the Gui Dewei halfway.

Xue Bingxin was dressed in a sassy short dress, with a sword hanging on the victory hook, with a slender figure and a beautiful appearance, which was quite eye-catching among the brocade guards.

At this time, a group of people appeared in the city gate, but they saw a thousand people with big shoulders and round waists with knives to open the way, followed by several soft sedan chairs, brocade guards lined up on both sides, and hundreds of officials were responsible for maintaining order and driving away the people nearby.

Xu Jin said lightly: "This Luo Gonggong's pomp is quite big, and it has overshadowed Qincha." ”

Before coming to Yuncheng County, Xu Jin had already sent a fast horse to inquire about the news in advance, so he already had a general understanding of the current situation in the city.

Sima Yuan said with a smile: "Lord Xu doesn't know, these local town guards have a provincial military strength, comparable to the feudal officials, and they are so rich, can the pomp be not big?" Take this Luo Gonggong as an example, there are five or six thousand people in his station, which is more than the strength of the first guard, and the food and salary are all paid by Luo Gonggong's own pocket, which is equivalent to a private soldier, even if the order of the military department comes, it is not easy to use. ”

Xu Jin raised his eyebrows, it seems that the eunuchs guarding these places are really powerful, no wonder they dare to be so arrogant, it is estimated that the murder of Qin Cha is inseparable from this Luo Gonggong.

It is no wonder that Yang Tinghe proposed to abolish the local town guard eunuchs, these local eunuchs are indeed too big to lose, of course, the main reason is probably that the town guard eunuchs pose a threat to the civilian clique.

These local eunuchs held military power, constrained local officials, and at the same time competed with the household department for sources of tax revenue. The civil official group headed by Yang Tinghe has cleared the eunuchs in power in the palace, and the next step is naturally to take action against the local eunuch forces.

Soon, several soft sedan chairs came to the front of the Guide Guard, and the fans with knives did not show weakness, opened the formation in front of the sedan chair, crossed the waist with the right hand, and pressed the knife handle with the left hand, looking like a majestic and high-spirited look.

Luo Xiang, Huang Jin, Song Chi, Zhang Wensheng, and Zhao Fengchun got down from the sedan chair one after another. After Gonggong Luo got off the sedan chair, he found that the general who returned to Dewei on the opposite side was still sitting arrogantly on the horse, and his heart was suddenly displeased, and his face immediately darkened.

Just as Luo Xiang squinted his eyes and looked at the person on the opposite horse, the eunuch Huang Jin's face changed drastically, and he blurted out: "Xu ...... Xu Jin! ”

At this time, Song Chi and the others also recognized that the white-shirted young man who was immediately calm and idle was Xu Jin, and his face couldn't help but change suddenly, and he secretly complained in his heart, this kid is really hard, he can't die!

Xu Jin turned over and dismounted and stepped forward, Xue Bingxin and a group of brocade clothes hurriedly dismounted and followed the guards, and the guards received Xu Jin's order in advance, so they all sat on their horses and did not move at this time.

Huang Jinying stepped forward and said excitedly: "Lord Xu didn't die, thank God, these days have made our family sad." ”

Xu Jin said lightly: "It's really fake, why did the official hear that Gonggong Huang was still talking about wine just now?" ”

Huang Jin's face suddenly showed embarrassment, and he said with an unnatural expression: "Lord Xu has misunderstood, this is ...... Shandong guards Luo Xiangluo's father-in-law, our family has to receive it. ”

Luo Xiang finally reacted at this time, and said with a smile: "Dare to love this is Lord Xu Jinxu, a new science detective of Lianzhong Wuyuan, when I saw it today, he was really a young talent." Our family heard that Lord Xu was suspected of being flooded, and sighed that God was jealous of the talent, fortunately, Lord Xu was safe and sound, congratulations! ”

Xu Jin glanced at Eunuch Luo and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Grandpa Luo, the official still has some things to do now, I will talk to Grandpa Luo later, come here, take down Song Chi, Zhang Wensheng, and Zhao Fengchun!" ”

"Order!" Sima Yuan shouted loudly, and led his brothers to rush up and capture Song Chi and the three of them.

Song, Zhang and Zhao were shocked, Luo Xiang's face sank, and he shouted: "Stop, Lord Xu, what do you mean?" ”

Xu Jin said lightly: "This official captures the prisoner, does Gonggong Luo have an opinion?" ”

Luo Xiang was secretly angry in his heart, even if Xiao Huai was here, he didn't dare to be so presumptuous in front of his father-in-law, you are a milky kid who has not dried up, but he has gone to heaven, and sneered: "Lord Xu is so majestic, although you are a Qincha, but you can't capture the head of a mansion for no reason, right?" ”

After Luo Xiang finished speaking, he glanced at Huang Jin!
