Chapter 264 The old man has never been to Yingge Academy
Liang Jixiong had many Canglong guards stationed in the city. He wanted to see Xu Zhiqiong tonight for something urgent. He learned that Xu Zhiqiong was wandering in the south of the city, so he hurried over with a truck. He happened to meet two eunuchs and attacked Xu Zhiqiong.
A move of dragon's rage forced the two eunuchs to lower their heads. The two eunuchs immediately gave up the idea of counterattack and prepared to escape.
They don't know Liang Jixiong, nor do they know Liang Jixiong's cultivation level, but they know what Canglong Ba Dao is. Domineering cultivators mean clan members, and eunuchs have an instinctive fear of clan members.
They wanted to wait for the power of the dragon's anger to disappear and escape immediately. Liang Jixiong did not give them a chance to escape. He used the skill of coiling a python to directly break the leg bones of the two people and turned them into puppets. They stood obediently.
Next to Xu Zhiqiong.
Liang Jixiong said: "These two people must be from the Supervisor of Ceremonies. Find a place to interrogate them properly."
"Second brother," Xu Zhiqiong pointed to the Yinggeyuan not far away, "I think that place is good."
Liang Jixiong shook his head repeatedly and said: "I have been pure and devoid of desire all my life. If I go to a place like that, won't it ruin my reputation?"
Xu Zhiqiong said in surprise: "Second brother has never been there before? Then how did he come here all these years? Aren't the hands of second brother full of stains..."
"Stop chatting and leave quickly!" Liang Jixiong was an upright person and did not want to make such a nasty joke with Xu Zhiqiong: "Hurry up and find a secluded place."
Xu Zhiqiong said: "This is the south of the city, where the capital is bustling. How can there be any secluded place? Just go to Yinggeyuan, and let's find a small pavilion to interrogate slowly."
Liang Jixiong looked embarrassed, he really didn't want to go.
Xu Zhiqiong urged: "What are you afraid of? Since you have never been here before and you are still wearing the clothes of a salesman, no one will recognize you!"
Arriving in front of the Yingge Courtyard, the housekeeper was greeting business. He saw Xu Zhiqiong's red light from a distance, and stepped forward to greet him: "Xu Qianhu, please come inside, which courtyard are you going to..."
When you arrive at Yingge Courtyard, you must first explain which courtyard you are going to. This is the rule.
Xu Zhiqiong said: "Let's find a small pavilion in the front yard to sit down first, and then go to other yards later."
The second brother had never been to Yinggeyuan, so Xu Zhiqiong quickly introduced him: "Yinggeyuan has a music academy, a poetry academy, an academy, and a chess academy. These courtyards all have characters Shuli, the common one is called Xiaohuan, and the better ones are
Calling musicians, piano masters, chess masters, etc., the higher the level, the higher up they are. They are all pavilion masters. It is not easy to sleep with the pavilion master once, because there are exams required to enter these courtyards.
Second brother, don't be surprised. This is the rule of Yingge Academy. You don't have to have money to come here. It's not much different than the exam for the national examination. Let's not rush to take the exam tonight. There is a small pavilion in the front yard.
Let’s go sit down and do some serious things first.”
Liang Jixiong was unwilling to speak and seemed not to want to stay here any longer.
The housekeeper was leading the way and suddenly turned around and stared at Liang Jixiong for a moment.
Liang Jixiong lowered his head and tried his best to avoid the butler's gaze.
The housekeeper stepped forward quickly and lowered his voice: "You, you, who are you?"
Xu Zhiqiong was startled, what is going on?
Liang Jixiong turned away with disgust, not wanting to look at the butler.
The butler stood behind him and whispered in a low voice: "Are you still going to the same place?"
old place?
Xu Zhiqiong was shocked again.
Liang Jixiong said angrily: "What do you mean? How do I know the old place? Just find a quiet place."
The housekeeper quickly agreed and led the four people deeper into the yard.
Xu Zhiqiong frowned and said, "Isn't Xiaoxuan in the front yard?"
The housekeeper was silent and turned a deaf ear to Xu Zhiqiong's words.
After passing through the Music Courtyard, the Poetry Courtyard, the Academy, and the Yiyuan Courtyard, the housekeeper led the four people into a small courtyard behind the Yiyuan Courtyard and led the two of them into the main room.
The yard was very quiet, they were the only two guests.
The main room is very spacious and luxuriously furnished, but it is much more luxurious than the master's bedroom.
Dedicated rooster hall?
Xu Zhiqiong has been to Yinggeyuan several times, but he still didn't know such a small courtyard.
The housekeeper ordered people to make wine and tea. He stood next to Liang Jixiong and whispered in a low voice: "Should we ask those familiar pavilion masters to come over?"
Liang Jixiong said angrily: "How can I know any pavilion masters that I know well?"
The butler lowered his voice: "The master of Hanzhu Pavilion in Yuzhu Pavilion has just recovered from a serious illness, and he will be able to welcome guests tonight."
Liang Jixiong gave him a hammer and said, "You are so noisy! This is my first time here!"
The housekeeper suddenly understood and quickly led everyone to retreat.
Liang Jixiong drank a cup of tea and said: "This man is really Luo Su. This is obviously my first time here."
Xu Zhiqiong stared at Liang Jixiong and said: "Second brother, you are so proud. In Yingge Court, you can sleep with the master of the pavilion without rushing for exams? How can you wait in such an exquisite courtyard?"
"What Pavilion Master?" Liang Jixiong shook his head, "I have never been here before."
"Okay, I haven't been here before."
Liang Jixiong put down the tea cup and said: "Hurry and examine these two eunuchs."
Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said: "Second brother, if you invite me tonight, this matter will be over."
Liang Jixiong blushed and said, "What do I ask you to do? I don't even know what this place does."
"This place is for big things. Second brother, you look like you are a person for big things. If you don't invite me, I will tell you everything tomorrow."
"I'm too lazy to listen to you! Someone is going to kill you, and you still have the heart to talk about it!" Liang Jixiong untied the two eunuchs. The bones in their hands and feet were broken, and the two eunuchs immediately collapsed on the ground.
.
"Tell me, who sent you here?"
The two eunuchs bowed their heads and remained silent, showing at least their loyalty.
Liang Jixiong smiled and used a treacherous move. The two eunuchs struggled for a long time in the suffocation.
When Liang Jixiong released the skill, the two eunuchs lay on the ground and struggled to catch their breath. Just after taking a few breaths, Liang Jixiong used the python skill to strangle their necks again.
It seemed that the method was ordinary, and after going back and forth several times, the two eunuchs collapsed.
What made them collapse was not only the physical pain, but also the majesty from the clan.
Under double mental and physical oppression, the two eunuchs said everything they knew.
The two of them are Chen Shuncai's grandsons, not biological grandsons, but godsons. This kind of relationship is very common among chamberlains.
The two of them studied together with Lu Anming, Chen Shuncai's adopted son, entered the martial arts together, and cultivated together. After thirty years, they developed this tacit understanding of skills like brothers.
There are more than one pair of eunuchs like them. Lu Anming trained a total of twelve people, and they all had such a tacit understanding.
This time, they followed Lu Anming's order to assassinate Xu Zhiqiong.
Liang Jixiong was stunned: "Is it an assassination? Not a capture alive?"
The eunuch shook his head and said: "Father made it clear that he wants to be killed, not alive!"
Liang Yuming was surprised: "But you didn't say why you wanted to kill Xu Zhiqiong?"
"We brothers don't dare to ask more questions about dad's orders."
Liang Jixiong asked Xu Zhiqiong: "Do you recognize Lu Anming?"
Xu Zhiqiong shook his head.
Since they don't recognize each other, it proves that the two have no personal grudges. It is obvious that Lu Anming also followed Chen Shuncai's order.
But why did Chen Shuncai dare to assassinate Xu Zhiqiong?
This is not a question that these two eunuchs can answer.
Liang Jixiong waved his hand and then used the skill of coiling a python. The two eunuchs had their neck fractures broken and died on the spot.
"Chen Shuncai wanted to kill you, he must have been ordered by the emperor," Liang Jixiong frowned, "I really didn't expect that the emperor didn't worry about the disaster caused by the White Tiger God."
Xu Zhiqiong said: "The official family has not been afraid of disasters from the beginning. What he is afraid of is Dun Wanxing and the three elders forcing him to abdicate. Now that his throne has been threatened, naturally he will no longer worry about disasters."
"Yes, he doesn't care about anything! He doesn't even care about Daxuan's power!" Liang Jixiong gave Xu Zhiqiong a letter, which was written by the prince.
The prefects of the two prefectures in Tuanxun each led 10,000 troops and arrived at the border of Yongzhou.
"They want to use troops behind the prince's back?"
Liang Jixiong nodded.
Xu Zhiqiong asked: "Has the emperor issued an edict?"
Liang Jixiong shook his head and said: "There is no edict, and the cabinet is not aware of this matter."
"Without an edict, the prefects of the two states dare to send troops privately?"
Liang Jixiong added some charcoal to the charcoal stove: "I heard the news from the official department. The official department caught evidence of embezzlement by the two prefects.
Now the official department has submitted a memorial and the cabinet has drafted an edict, waiting for the emperor's approval.
The emperor is now holding on to their black hats. If they do not send troops, the emperor will punish them and dismiss them from their posts and investigate them."
"What a plan!" Xu Zhiqiong was shocked. He really didn't expect that a senior official would have such a trick.
No wonder these days are so quiet. It turns out that the official family has changed its strategy. He no longer targets the prince, but concentrates on controlling the two states of Tuanxun.
This recruitment was done openly and openly. No one would oppose the emperor. Punishing corrupt officials is a business, a good thing, and a very satisfying thing. No official would defend two corrupt officials.
"What are your plans, second brother?"
Liang Jixiong said: "I plan to personally go to the two prefectures of Tuoxun to appease the prefects of the two prefectures and persuade them to withdraw their troops as soon as possible."
Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said: "The evidence of the crime has been established, and the black gauze hat is in the hands of the high officials. I'm afraid, second brother, you can't persuade me."
Liang Jixiong gritted his teeth and said: "If you can't persuade me, I will kill them and replace them with two other prefects. Otherwise, when they send out troops, the prince and the soldiers in the north will be in dire straits!"
Kill them?
"Kill them, and the high officials will appoint more obedient prefects."
Liang Jixiong said: "We can also join hands with the officials to recommend people who listen to the prince's words."
This is a solution, and the second elder has thought carefully about it.
"But the two states of Tuanxun are located on the border. If there is a dispute in the court and the prefect is vacant for too long, I am afraid that Tunu will take advantage of it."
Liang Jixiong shook his head repeatedly and said, "What's your plan?"
Xu Zhiqiong held the teacup, thought quietly for a long time, raised his head and said: "Persuasion is necessary, but now is not the time."
"The two states can send troops to attack Yongzhou at any time. We are extremely anxious, but how long can we wait?"
"Two days!" Xu Zhiqiong said, "We have to wait at least two days. I will go to Wang Yushi early tomorrow morning and ask him to deliver a memorial."
Liang Jixiong said: "Why are you waiting for tomorrow? Let's go tonight!"
"What time is it now? Are you going to disturb someone else's house?"
"Looking at my thin face, that old man Wang Yanyang probably won't care."
"Second brother, we are all here. Can you show me what the master of Hanzhu Pavilion looks like?"
"I don't know the Master of Hanzhu Pavilion. This is my first time here!"
"Second brother, you are not being kind!"
"That's all, hurry up and leave. When things are done, the cabinet chief will be there."
Liang Jixiong ordered the housekeeper to dispose of the body and took Xu Zhiqiong to Wang Yanyang's home.
Xu Zhiqiong directly stated the purpose of his visit: "Old censor, we want you to deliver a memorial to the prefects of Tuanxun and Xunzhou."
Wang Yanyang frowned and said, "Xu Qianhu, do you want to plead for these two corrupt officials?"
Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said: "No, it's to report these two people for treason!"
Wang Yanyang said in surprise: "What is the basis for this?"
Xu Zhiqiong said with a smile: "The emperor found evidence that they were embezzling. They were afraid of crime and had a grudge, so they had the intention to rebel. Now they have led their troops to the border of Yongzhou. They have motives and means. Isn't this evidence enough?"
Wang Yanyang nodded repeatedly: "I will write a memorial now!"
Liang Jixiong frowned and said, "Aren't you going to anger these two prefects?"
Xu Zhiqiong said: "What if you are angry?"
"If they get angry, they will definitely send troops to attack Yongzhou!"
Xu Zhiqiong said with a smile: "If he attacks Yongzhou, he will be convicted of treason. Instead of being punished, his family will be confiscated and his family will be destroyed! Elder Shengwei is so kind to comfort them. They should be able to understand the gains and losses involved!"
