The fierce wife is in power: the general should not try to escape

Chapter 428 Betrayed by Zhang Cheng
The prefect of Huaye City and others were very upset, especially the prefect of Huaye City. He was so old. Among the five people, he was the oldest, but he was still held by Xu Weiguang, who had the same official position as him. Pointing at his nose and cursing, he couldn't help but feel ashamed.

Therefore, the prefect of Huaye City immediately turned black, but he was still afraid of Xu Weiguang and did not curse back.

Even so, the dissatisfied expressions of the four still made Xu Weiguang furious. "Why, it looks like you don't want to take the money out?"

Compared with Li Drink before, Xu Weiguang's words were much gentler.But those who are familiar with him will know that the gentler his tone is, the stronger the murderous intent hidden behind it.And the four of them knew Xu Weiguang very well, and they immediately shuddered.

The county magistrate of Wanshui County is quick-witted, he doesn't want to take money, and he doesn't want to offend Xu Weiguang.In this way, Zhang Cheng could only be harmed.

Turning his eyes, the magistrate of Wanshui County immediately said: "Master Xu is serious, we really have no choice but to spend the extra money. Master Xu, this right-handed lord will really be able to follow the virtuous king." Is it successful? We are here to work hard to raise money for them, if it fails in the end, we will not only lose money."

Hearing this, Xu Weiguang stared: "What do you mean!"

Hearing this, the county magistrate of Wanshui County was not frightened by the stare, and continued: "The virtuous king was originally demoted, and his reputation would be unfair if he wanted to sit on the throne. Now that the siege of the city happened, he is even more The people of the world will not obey him if he is accused of treason. Besides, although the virtuous king has surrounded the capital with [-] soldiers, will the emperor and the crown prince really be afraid of these [-] soldiers?"

"My lord Xu, I'm not alarmist. Our prince has grown up silently over the years, and successfully pulled down the virtuous king. From this, we can see how the prince's methods are. You say, the emperor Combined with the crown prince, is he not as good as a virtuous king?"

After saying that, the county magistrate of Wanshui County looked at Xu Weiguang closely, with a bewitching look in his eyes.

Xu Weiguang's heart moved, he was not very optimistic about this matter.If Zhang Cheng can abandon Zhao Xuanran, and then keep a low profile, he can continue to serve as the right minister if he is not sure, and his status and rights will not be threatened, then he will have no problem.

But what Zhang Cheng is doing now is treason, and if he makes a mistake, he will be hated forever.In this way, Xu Weiguang couldn't help worrying about the consequences of failure.In fact, he had thought about this issue earlier in the morning, so he didn't refute it immediately when the magistrate of Wanshui County raised it.

Xu Weiguang's attitude also gave a few people some hope, and the prefect of Qinzhou immediately spoke.

"Lord Xu, in my opinion, the virtuous king and the right minister are at the end of their battle. They have surrounded the capital for so long, but they have not made any substantial progress. Although the imperial court did not take any action in response, where are the rebels in history? Is there any reason why the city cannot move forward after so long?"

"It's not certain. The emperor and the prince have already had a way to deal with it, and they probably have the handle of the virtuous king, which makes the virtuous king cautious and dare not act rashly. According to this trend, the virtuous king and the right minister are inevitable. What a losing situation! Once they fail, we, as the money provider, will definitely be found out by the court, and then only the Zhu Jiu Clan will be waiting for us!"

As soon as these words came out, the remaining three people echoed.

"Yes, Master Xu, please think again!"

"It's nothing for us, but we can't implicate our wife and children, and cut off our own incense!"

"Master Xu, please think again!"

"..."

While talking, the four of them got up together, knelt down, bent down, and put their sincerity in front of Xu Weiguang.Such an analysis also made Xu Weiguang's heart constantly shaken, especially when he heard the sentence that broke his incense, Xu Weiguang almost agreed with them from the bottom of his heart.

Although Xu Weiguang does all kinds of evil, he attaches great importance to his family.It can be said that if he was alone, perhaps he would not have done such unreasonable things.It was because he had a wife and children, and he didn't want his wife and children to live in poverty, so he amassed money crazily.

Now that his wife and children are in trouble, Xu Weiguang naturally has to think about it.

The study fell into silence, and the four prefects of Huaye City did not keep persuading, but gave Xu Weiguang time to think.It's just that their eyes all fell on Xu Weiguang, and they were full of tension and expectation.

After a while, Xu Weiguang sighed softly, feeling that all his strength had been sucked out, and his expression was no longer as aggressive as before.

"Although what you said is correct, we have always been Zhang Xiang's people. Even if we don't provide property to Zhang Xiang this time, we will not be able to please Zhang Xiang if he loses in the future. In this case, it is better to give the bargaining chip Put it on Zhang Xiang, once we succeed, we will have great days waiting for us, and what we lost will be recovered with interest in the future!"

That's what he said, but Xu Weiguang's tone was not as firm as he imagined.

Everyone present is a transparent person, and they don't know what to do.Now Xu Weiguang just needs an excuse, and at the same time needs a way to clear himself of his crimes. As long as he can get himself out, Xu Weiguang probably should have already done so.

"Mr. Xu's words are inappropriate. Although we have always received favors from Prime Minister Zhang, this favor has been repaid when you sent supplies to Mr. Xu last time. Master Xu is an upright person, and he is dedicated to Daxia. Naturally, I don’t want to see King Xian and Xiang Zhang continue on this road of no return.”

"In this case, Mr. Xu couldn't persuade him, so he endured the pain and killed his relatives righteously, and wrote to the emperor Zhang Xiang's arrangements. With Mr. Xu's report, after the emperor and the crown prince defeat the virtuous king, they will definitely remember your lord's kindness."

It was the prefect of Huaye City who spoke. After living for so many years, he naturally understood what Xu Weiguang most wanted to hear now, so he immediately made an excuse for Xu Weiguang.

Hearing this, Xu Weiguang's eyes lit up, as excited as if a drowning person found a plank to survive: "Is this really true? If Xu really killed his relatives righteously, wouldn't the emperor blame Xu?"

"It's natural."

Hearing the affirmative answer, Xu Weiguang was immediately overjoyed.But then Xu Weiguang showed a embarrassed look: "But Zhang has a great kindness to Xu. Isn't Xu doing so ungrateful?"

The corner of Huaye City's magistrate's mouth twitched, secretly thinking that Xu Weiguang was acting like a good boy when he got a bargain.But due to formality, he had no choice but to say: "Master Xu is sharing the country's worries. I believe Zhang Xiang will only sigh that Master Xu is more enlightened than him, and he will not blame him."

As he said that, the prefect of Huaye City quickly winked at the other three people, and the other three people agreed with him very wisely, even though they were disdainful in their hearts, they still smiled on their faces.

Seeing the four of them like this, Xu Weiguang's worries were relieved, and he felt a lot more relaxed.
