Mrs. Gu shook her head and said, "Who does Lord Ling think of the Grand Governor?" Can't most of the governors see such a crude strategy? If it is self-defeating and makes the governor angry with Rou Niang, the sin of the concubine will be great! ”

Everyone came with confidence, but they never thought to encounter so many difficult problems. As soon as Mrs. Gu's words fell, the hall immediately fell silent, and the most powerful group of people in Guangdong sat together, facing a seemingly small matter, and they were at a loss.

Zhang Zhensun racked his brains and thought about it, thinking of being dizzy, he still had nothing to do. The point is that everyone here has never seen the Grand Duke, let alone understands the temperament of the Grand Duke, and it is completely impossible to guess the possible reaction of the Grand Duke. Who would dare to take a risk?

The cold sweat on Qian Lao Xiucai and Zheng Xiucai's heads became more and more, dripping down the back of their ears and slowly soaking their collars. The two of them didn't care about wiping their sweat, staring at Mrs. Gu's delicate face, trying to find a little hope in it.

I don't know how long it took, but everyone in the hall was still silent. Zheng Xiucai suddenly got up and walked to the door, pointed to the scholars who were waiting silently outside, and said excitedly to Mrs. Gu: "Madam, there are more than 2,000 people outside, and there are more than 2,000 families behind them, and if you can't take the exam for ten years, how many human tragedies will it cause?" Will they still be able to pass the exam in 10 years? Years of hard work, once ruined! Madam, I would rather not have this life, and ask Madame to intercede with the Metropolitan Governor for them! After speaking, "Puff" knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Mrs. Gu more than a dozen times!

Qian Lao Xiucai also knelt beside him desperately, and said sadly: "Madam! Ask Madame to have mercy and save these scholars! If you want to blame it, blame the old man for being obsessed with ghosts, and commit the following crimes. The old decay would rather his relatives be punished and never be hired. I just ask the Governor not to blame the people outside. Give them a way out! And he prostrated again and again.

Mrs. Gu was taken aback, of course she understood how difficult it was to get these scholars to kneel and kowtow to her, a woman, not to mention that both of them were above her in age!

Mrs. Gu hurriedly got up and said, "Two gentlemen, please get up, why bother to make this big gift?" Don't dare to be a concubine! ”

Xu Zhiliang also said: "Hurry up!" Don't embarrass Madame! ”

Only then did the two raise their heads, and everyone looked at them, and their foreheads were already bloody, and Zheng Xiucai was young, and he knocked extremely hard. The blood on his forehead had flowed into a thread, mixed with sweat and flowing down to his neck, staining his collar red.

Mrs. Gu couldn't bear it, and hurriedly ordered the two maids to get tissues and medicine to dress the two of them.

Zhang Zhensun sighed: "The hearts of the two fists are so admirable. However, I knew today, so why bother in the first place! Alas, the two of them broke their heads, and the lady couldn't! ”

The scholars who were watching outside vaguely saw Zheng Shusheng kowtowing inside, and saw a girl ring dressing him with medicine. Immediately shocked!

One of them shouted, "Not good! Something is wrong! ”

As soon as the words came out, everyone was in an uproar. Some people couldn't help but start crying for their fathers and mothers, and scolded: "What kind of sin will the elders do! What does it have to do with me? I also learned the new school, and I have a lot of experience! Now it's good, how do you want me to explain to my parents when I get home? I was bewitched by you and signed a name, but it hurt my whole life! Do you have a conscience?! ”

"Not bad! What did you say at the beginning? Say no risk! What now? No one cares who you ask! My lady is hard, just waiting for my gold list title! What kind of madness will you elders have, you have to go against the Metropolitan Governor! I'm really blinded by lard, so I will follow you to mess around! ”

"You're going to pay us ten years!"

"Ten years! Ten years!! Ten years!! How do you want me to be good! ”

"Xu Jingluo, can't you say that we only sat for three days?"

"That's a deliberate attempt to deceive the Grand Duke! Xu Jingluo will lose his official position in a blink of an eye! ”

"Alas! It's over, it's all over! ”

"Where's the second book? Can you catch it back? ”

"I sent it away early, and I sent it by a stagecoach, and I can't catch it back!"

"Governor, you have a lot of pity on us, we want to take the exam! We know we were wrong! ”

Speaking of this, some people have already started crying, and soon infected other people next to them, more and more people hugged their heads and cried, crying so many that several people from the Elders' Association grabbed the ground with their heads, and wept opposite them, but they didn't know what to do.

Mrs. Gu heard the crying from outside, and her heart was in turmoil. suddenly remembered that Xie Xiucai studied hard before his death and prepared for the exam, and his compassion rose. Gritting his teeth suddenly, he made up his mind, and said to Xu Zhi: "Can Lord Xu send someone to lead the way to Lin'an for the concubine?" ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, Xu Zhiliang couldn't believe his ears, and said, "What did Madam say?" ”

Mrs. Gu explained: "Lord Xu, if you want to turn around this matter, the concubine has to go to the Lin'an Metropolitan Governor's Mansion in person and ask the Metropolitan Governor to be kind in person, there is no other way. In case it doesn't work, the concubine is in Lin'an, and the responsibility can be borne by one force, and Rou Niang will not be affected. ”

Everyone was overjoyed, Qian Lao Xiucai and Zheng Xiucai were so grateful that they burst into tears, regardless of the injury on their heads, they kowtowed to Mrs. Gu again, and were quickly stopped by Mrs. Gu.

Xu Zhiliang said excitedly: "Madame is compassionate and compassionate, and the lower officials are grateful, so let the lower officials go over and thank you for the more than 2,000 scholars outside!" With that, he got up and slammed it to the ground.

Mrs. Gu hurriedly said: "Lord Xu, don't bother the concubine, the concubine can also take advantage of this to go north to reunite with Rou Niang, and thank Lord Xu for his help." ”

Xu Zhiliang smiled and said: "Madame is willing to let the lower official Sasuke from the side, the lower official is honored!" Hehe. He turned his head to the others and asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, this official is sitting in Guangzhou, and he can't go north in person, which lord has time to escort his wife to the Lin'an Metropolitan Governor's Mansion?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Ling Zhen, Huang Jun, Ma Fa, Chen Shi, Xie Xian, and Zhang Zhensun all scrambled to stand up.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! After the Metropolitan Governor conquered Japan, he could go south at any time, and the southern expedition would be the top priority of the two Guangzhous, but the Metropolitan Governor had no relationship with the officials in the south, and he didn't know any of them. The people here, no matter who they are, as long as they can see the Metropolitan Governor first, the Metropolitan Governor will be reused! If you miss this opportunity, you will regret it for the rest of your life!

Ling Zhen has the highest official position, and Xu Zhiliang is also a second-grade official, but he is from the second rank, and he spoke first: "Lord Xu, the highest official position in Guangdong is you and me, Mrs. Gu is so noble, Lord Xu can't send it in person, it's better for me to send it, so that it can match the identity of Mrs., and let the Metropolitan Governor see how we treat Mrs. ”

Huang Jun said: "As the capital of Guangdong, how can Lord Ling leave without permission? It's better for the lower officials to go. ”

Ma Fa said: "Brother Huang is the first main general of the Destroying Front Army, and he needs to be in command, I am the second, or I will go." ”

Chen Shi hurriedly said: "Where can the Destroying Front Army leave the two adults?" I'm usually the most idle, so I should take the initiative to ask for help. ”

Xie Xianyi said solemnly: "All of you are wrong, the Metropolitan Governor will go to Japan in the summer, and it is the time for my Guangdong Navy to serve, or I will go well." ”

Zhang Zhensun wanted to take the opportunity to seek recovery, and there was no better chance than this, but he was the champion and did not want to argue with others about this matter, so he did not speak.

Xu Zhiliang couldn't help but laugh dumbly. He knew in his heart that if he hadn't left it, he wouldn't say anything about this errand. It's good now, everyone wants to go, and it's a matter of learning who to let and who not to go, and what you do will offend people.

Xu Zhiliang glanced at Liang Xiongfei, who was guarding at the door, and said in his heart, why don't you let him do it for himself? It's better than cheaper for others.

Xu Zhiliang was thinking about it, but Mrs. Gu saw that Xu Zhiliang was in a predicament and wanted to help him get out of trouble, so she said, "Lord Xu, why don't you let the concubine decide?" ”

No one objected to Mrs. Gu's proposal, and Xu Zhiliang said in surprise: "Madam, please speak, the lower officials are all obedient." ”

Mrs. Gu said: "If Lord Zhang is okay at home, can he accompany the concubine for a while?" ”

Zhang Zhensun suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and arched his hand: "My parents are already in good health at home, and the lower officials can set off at any time." ”

Mrs. Gu smiled slightly, and said to Ling Zhen again: "Lord Ling is in charge of soldiers and horses from all over Guangdong, and he has never seen the Metropolitan Governor, how can he follow the Metropolitan Governor to the south?" This trip should be headed by Lord Ling. ”

A stone in Ling Zhen's heart fell to the ground in an instant, and said with a smile: "What Madame said is very true, the lower officials should go north to meet the Governor of the Metropolitan to ask for benefits." ”

Mrs. Gu turned to Huang Jun, Ma Fa, and Chen Shi again: "The three generals, Lord Ling is a high-ranking official of the second grade, and Lord Zhang is from a champion background, so you can't accompany the concubine to take care of a woman's family." The concubine went north, and she carried a lot of luggage, how about the three generals? ”

The three generals are overjoyed, they are still disappointed just now, just look at the luggage, as long as they can follow! Hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Obey Madame's orders!" ”

Mrs. Gu finally looked at Xie Xian and said, "On the day of the Metropolitan Governor's Expedition, the more the sailors, the better. Moreover, in the future, the southern expedition will also require the Guangdong Navy to serve, even if the governor of the capital is not recruited, the general should go to see him. ”

Xie Xian was so happy that he almost knelt down for Mrs. Gu and followed the Metropolitan Governor to fight, is there anyone who does not make meritorious contributions? Even if the Metropolitan Governor doesn't look down on his troops, helping to transport grain and grass is a great achievement!

Xu Zhiliang said with a smile: "Madame, don't do it, as soon as you want to leave, the court won't blame you?" As soon as the words came out, I suddenly felt that something was wrong, the governor was not angry, what did the court blame?

Mrs. Gu said: "The governor of the capital wants to march south, and he can't ignore the civil and military affairs of the south, this time is just an opportunity, why don't you let the adults go to Lin'an together?" It's too late for the Governor to rejoice. ”

Xu Zhiliang couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praised: "Good! Just Mrs. ”

Mrs. Gu said: "Please also ask Lord Xu to repair a book, and the concubine will bring it to the governor." Most of the governors of Guangdong may not know about the affairs of Guangdong, and Lord Xu has sent so many people, so he must let the governor understand Lord Xu's hard work. (To be continued......)
