Chapter 16 Reunion

"Are you...?" Xu Jinghong came to the living room and saw an old man in a moon white dress sitting in the guest seat. Although the previous brother came to report that it was a stewmer of the Xu family, he did not agree with this statement. Because he had never seen this old man, and in terms of his manners and demeanor, he was by no means comparable to a long-lived subordinate, so he asked so solemnly.

"The old man's surname is Ge, and he is a helper beside the marquis." The old man is Govich. Naturally, he is Xu Jinghong, who met on behalf of Xu Zhengnian. After all, Xu Zhengnian's identity is there, and he is the latter's grandfather. There is no reason to come to the door in person.

Just the night before, Xu Shihao turned to his grandfather at night, not only saying that his current situation was extremely difficult, but also to leave a way out for the Xu family. Therefore, after a night of weighing, Xu Zhengnian still decided to help him say something to Xu Jinghong, and then Gewei came to his door today.

Seeing that the other party finally showed his identity, Xu Jinghong nodded and said, "My grandfather must have asked you to come, right?" In the whole Xu family, the only thing he is willing to admit is Xu Zhengnian, his grandfather, because the other party saved him once and later rebuilt the grave for his mother. These two things are always essential.

"Yes, the marquis intends to meet you, but he is afraid that you will be busy, so I asked the old man to make an appointment first. In addition, I heard that your national security department has made a big deal recently, and he also wants me to ask about the ins and outs of it.

Xu Jinghong quickly guessed their intention. Although he did not know the connection between Xu Shihao and King Yong, he could also think that some of the officials invited by him must have been involved with the Xu family. But this time is the key to establishing a certain position in the court. Naturally, he will not shrink back casually, so he just said perfunctorily, "I have been in Beijing for many days, and I should indeed say goodwill to my grandfather. Then let's make it tomorrow. I'll set up a wine in Fanlou and invite my grandfather to get together. Because of the discord with the Xu family, it is naturally impossible for him to come to see Xu Zhengnian.

After a pause, he continued: "As for what has happened recently, it is actually very simple. It was the remnants of those families who refused to settle down and actually wanted to take advantage of the Ministry of Criminal Justice to send people to Ansi in our country. But in the end, they were all caught by me. At the same time, I found some clues and invited some suspected officials to ask questions.

Such a few simple words explained the matter and also showed his attitude. He didn't want to talk deeply with Govich on this matter. Gwich suddenly heard the meaning of his words, sighed helplessly, and then said, "In this case, the old man will go back and tell the marquis about it. However, before I came here, the marquis had another sentence to persuade Xu Dusi, but he didn't know whether he should say it or not.

"Since it's a lesson from my grandfather, it's natural to listen to it as a grandson." Xu Jinghong made a gesture of asking for a speech.

"The things in the court are not only advanced and not retreated. Sometimes leaving three points of strength is only good for the future." After saying this last sentence, Govich got up and left.

sent Govich away, but Xu Jinghong was not in the mood to see Jiao Yan's trial again, but began to meditate there. Xu Zhengnian's words brought to him also have some truth. Although everything is under control now, it is only temporary after all, and people will soon be released. And once these officials go out innocent, they will certainly not put up with this breath, so that there are too many enemies they have to face.

In fact, Xu Jinghong was prepared for this when he decided to be the lonely minister, but at that time, he did not expect that there would be a result of offending these many people together today. Not only the officials who are now imprisoned in the National Security Department, but also those who have not been invited have stood opposite to him because of various relationships, which he does not want to see.

Because of this, I have no friends in the court. And even if King Jing sits in the highest position with his help, he may even treat himself for the loyalty of the officials of the dynasty, which is not worth the loss.

"No, this strategy must be changed quickly. At least I have to have my own allies, otherwise there is really no way out!" Xu Jinghong turned around the idea and shouted, "Come on!"

"What's the order of the capital?"

"How are the invited officials now?"

"They have been locked in a row of rooms in the third hospital. Didn't you say you would hang them for a few days first? The subordinates asked with some puzzlement.

Xu Jinghong smiled bitterly: "Then let people cross-examination them from now on. As long as you are sure that there is no problem, let the person go as soon as possible.

"...yes!" Although he didn't understand Xu Jinghong's sudden change of mind, his men immediately agreed. Xu Jinghong's position in the National Security Department can be seen.

After asking people to deal with the matter of the invited officials, Xu Jinghong called someone again and gave the order: "Our practice of checking those remnants through the people in our hands may not have much effect. Why don't we use another method?"

"What does the team mean?" The old dog seemed to think of something and asked worriedly.

"Gone the word, we will limit those remnants to come out by themselves within three days, otherwise, three days later, we will kill ten criminals every day until all the people are killed!" Xu Jinghong's words were without any emotion: "Since they have provoked us, we should make corresponding counterattacks, otherwise they will not be against us!"

"The team is doing this, I'm afraid it will lead to bigger problems, right? We don't know how those remnant forces are, so we have completely angered them. I'm afraid we may not be able to take much advantage of them.

"Now we can no longer take the word stability, otherwise I'm afraid that some forces in the court will put pressure on us." Xu Jinghong sighed, "We have taken so many of them, and they will definitely not sit idly by like this. Now our biggest problem is that there has been no progress in the next few days, and now we must change it."

Yes! Then I'm going to arrange it!" Seeing that Xu Jinghong's intention had been settled, the old dog did not persuade him again. As for others, they will naturally not put forward different views at this time.

It turned out that Xu Jinghong's concerns were reasonable, because on the morning meeting the next day, some officials fired at the Guoan Division. Their excuse was that Guoan Si did nothing about the remnants of the family this time. Instead, it took away many officials in a critical position in the court, resulting in a backlog of political affairs and losses to the court.

These officials did not directly say that it was wrong for Guoansi to take people away like this. They just thought that they had no effect in the next few days, which caused great losses to the imperial court, which made Xu Jinghong difficult to refute, and also took out his true intentions. It's just that the bright-eyed people can still see clearly. These people are the mouthpieces of the prince in the court. They are suddenly in trouble and are naturally ordered by the prince.

Although the emperor also agreed with this statement, at the thought of the remnants of the metatarsi maggots, he still did not want to attack Guoansi's enthusiasm in this matter, so he said in a consulting tone, "Xu Qing, can you come up with a two-pronged solution in this matter? It's really not a matter for so many officials to be stranded in the National Security Department. Why don't you let go of some officials with no big problems first?

Xu Jinghong took a step forward and replied, "Your Majesty, in fact, I already had such an idea as early as yesterday. Moreover, the officials below have also begun to subdivide those officials. As long as they are given a little more time, those officials who have no major problems can be put back. In addition, I will also apologize to those adults invited by our country's Ansi at that time. After all, it has delayed them a lot of time and shocked them.

"Well, there is no need to apologize. I think these officials can understand your intention to eliminate adultery for the country." The emperor was very satisfied with Xu Jinghong's attitude and defended him. With the emperor's words, those officials must get rid of the idea of using this matter to attack Guoansi.

However, Xu Jinghong's words did not stop because of this. He then said, "In addition, after consideration, I feel that we should be more proactive in dealing with the remnants of those promiscuous ministers. I think we should do this..." and said his previous decision. After all, the family in his hand is of extraordinary status. If you really want to touch them, you still need the emperor to nod.

When the court officials heard that he had to use such a vicious means to force those remnants to appear by themselves, they all changed their colors. But now everyone knows the emperor's hatred for these people, and naturally no one dares to object. On the contrary, the emperor said uneasily, "This is indeed a way to force them out, but aren't you afraid of making them self-defeating and forcing them to jump over the wall? The previous invasion of Guoan Division has caused you a lot of losses. Now I'm afraid to do it again..." In fact, there is another meaning hidden in the emperor's words, that is, they are worried that these people will disturb the public security of the capital in a hurry and make Daliang City, which is not very calm, more chaotic.

Xu Jinghong said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured that the strength of these chaotic ministers is no longer strong. As long as the court is fully prepared, no matter how they make trouble, they can't escape from our palms. Moreover, the minister's Guoan Division has already had experience in dealing with them, and will never let them succeed again this time.

The emperor pondered, but an official suddenly said, "Xu Dusi's idea is good, but the subordinate can't understand a little. That's why if they don't do this and don't stand up or make trouble because you want to kill people, how do we end up?

"This is simpler." Xu Jinghong smiled indifferently: "Just kill those people. In fact, these chaotic ministers should have died a long time ago. It was only because they still had the remnants that the court did not order to kill immediately. It is also very good to kill them three days later. Moreover, once all these people are really killed and their remnants do not come out, it means that these people will no longer be enemies of the court. Even if I don't find them, it doesn't matter to me, Song!"

"Xu Qing's statement is very right. Since there is no adverse effect on doing so, let's be accurate." After thinking deeply, the emperor actually felt a little tired, so he agreed to this matter, and then said some other political affairs, and then retreated back to the harem.

Looking at the slower emperor, Xu Jinghong turned his eyes to several princes and princes. He knew that the crisis of the Song Dynasty would not disappear because of the decline of these families, and soon new changes would come to Daliang City. Before that, what you should do is to gain as much power and power as possible!

The matter in the court has been temporarily solved, but Xu Jinghong did not feel relieved, but because Chu Lianer's situation has not improved. Although she has used drugs and needles, the toxicity in her body still stays still, making her unable to wake up. Xu Jinghong has also questioned the head of those families in the past two days, but the result made him very disappointed.

This poison was made by the people of the Wu family, but Wu Jingzi, the head of the family, only knew that he was not to stay, and did not know which poison it was configured. In fact, this is also understandable. As an important minister of the imperial court, how can he bother to figure out the ingredients of some kind of poison?

In this way, Xu Jinghong completely lost the way to detoxify. The only thing he could do was to keep sending internal force into Chu Lianer's body, hoping that his internal force could force this poison out of his body. But the effect can hardly be seen. Chu Lianer's appearance is still the same. Except for breathing, it is almost like a corpse.

If this is the era of medical development in later generations, this poison must be difficult for people. As long as you do laboratory tests, there will be no poison that can't be solved. However, in the Song Dynasty, no one can be sure to solve this nameless poison except for those who make this poison or who have a great understanding of the medicinal toxicity.

Because he was worried about this matter and was planning a counterattack of the remnants of the family that might appear soon, Xu Jinghong looked a little uneasy when he invited Xu Zhengnian at Fanlou the next day.

Xu Zhengnian, who was obviously much older than half a year ago, came to the highest floor of Fanlou with a smile. There were two people who came with him. One was naturally Govich, who had always been close to him, and the other made Xu Jinghong stunned. He was actually his great benefactor. He once saved his life and taught him a book. The old-fashioned way of things.

"I have met my grandfather, Taoist priest Tianji and Mr. Ge!" Seeing that the latter came together with Xu Zhengnian, Xu Jinghong could think that the identity of the old man was not simple, so his attitude was better than yesterday.

"I haven't come to this building for many years, and now I really feel a little difficult to come up." Xu Zhengnian smiled and took Xu Jinghong's hand: "Jinghong, you have done a lot of things for Song in the past six months, and my grandfather also feels that there is light on his face."

"Grandfather praised it." Xu Jinghong said modestly and saluted the Taoist, "Actually, I can have some small achievements today, and I would like to thank the Taoist priest for his kindness and the virtue he taught later. Otherwise, I'm afraid I've been dead for many years.

The appearance of Tianji Taoist has not changed much from a few years ago. He is still white-bearded and has a fairy bone. When he saw Xu Jinghong say this, he also smiled: "Everything is just an opportunity. Xu Xiaoyou doesn't have to be like this. Lao Dao was only entrusted by the marquis to teach you the skills of Xuanmen. As for your achievements today, you can't get it by learning this little martial arts, so the old man dares not be greedy for this credit.

Xu Jinghong has long thought about this. What is the identity of Tianjizi? At that time, he would spend a lot of time to teach himself martial arts inside and outside, which must be entrusted by others. In the whole Xu family, I'm afraid that Xu Zhengnian, who is willing to cultivate such a bastard like this, is Xu Zhengnian, who knows his true identity.

Tianji Laodao's words did not stop there, but his face was a little gloomy: "It's just that Lao Dao still disapproves some of your behaviors. Xu Xiaoyou, you have killed a lot over the years, but it has gone against the original intention of the old man to teach you the ability.

In front of these two old people, Xu Jinghong did not dare to have any dissatisfaction and nodded with a wry smile: "Yes, I have indeed killed many people with my own hands and indirectly over the years. But I can say that nine out of ten of these people who died because of me are damned.

"Even if it's the person who should be killed, it's better not to kill it!" Tianji said, "However, after a big change in your fate a few years ago, it has been decided. Lao Dao also knew that you were the one who killed his life. The more people you kill, the richer you will be. It can be said that everything is God's will."

"Hmm?" Xu Jinghong's heart moved slightly when he heard this. Could it be that the other party saw that he was not the real Xu Jinghong?

"Well, Taoist priest, since you have said that this is God's will, and it is hard to disobey God's will, why do you have to be worried about it? Today, we come to meet Jinghong to catch up with the past. Let's talk about these things in the future. Xu Zhengnian found that what they said was already a little embarrassing, so he made a statement to dissuade them.

The Taoist Tianji nodded and said nothing, and Xu Jinghong was relieved. It's better not to make some things public, otherwise it will cause a big storm.

Because of the previous dull topics, they only talked about some relaxing topics for a period of time, and did not mention today's changes in the dynasty and family affairs. But even so, Xu Jinghong, who had something to do in his heart, still couldn't be happy, which made Xu Zhengnian pay attention to it. However, Tianji Taoist asked first: "Looking at Xu Xiaoyou's appearance, he seems to have something on his mind, but I don't know if he can ask some of us old people to refer to it for you."

Xu Jinghong was stunned and suddenly thought of the fact that the Taoist at this time was actually a doctor. Perhaps the Taoist could help him come up with advice, so he talked about Chu Lianer as a doctor.

Hearing this, Tianji's old eyebrows shrugged: "Is there such a poison? The old man wants to see it. If he can save her, it would be a merit!"
