Mao Qiangguang was truly helpless in this situation. He wanted to resist, but there was no way; he didn't dare. After all, the man was his superior.
As the saying goes, a higher-ranking official can crush a lower-ranking official. To Mao Qiangguang, Xu Xianchun was no longer just a higher-ranking official. Mao Qiangguang was only a thousand-householder, and there were several levels above him.
What's more, Xu Xianchun is the emperor's favorite minister. This time, the emperor went on a southern tour and directly brought Xu Xianchun with him. What do you call this?
This is called favoritism. How can ordinary people have such power?
Mao Qiangguang couldn't afford to offend him. What happened before was in the past. The current situation was the best.
At this moment, the Jinyiwei outside ran in and came directly to Xu Xianchun and said, "Sir, the eunuch Zhang Wei who guards Yangzhou is here."
After hearing this, Xu Xianchun was stunned at first, and then a smile appeared on his face.
He looked up at Mao Qiangguang, threw the chess piece in his hand onto the chessboard and said, "I never thought that he would be the one to come. It seems quite interesting. I didn't expect these people to be so skilled in their tricks."
But when he said this, Xu Xianchun was looking at Mao Qiangguang with a strange expression on his face.
Mao Qiangguang felt a little embarrassed. He was very anxious and wanted to leave here and pass on the message, but he couldn't leave.
He is now under house arrest in disguise, with no one around him. In this situation, Mao Qiangguang can do nothing.
Although Mao Qiangguang was afraid of Xu Xianchun, he also knew that none of those people outside were easy to offend. Even if it was the Han family, if he offended them, they would take ruthless action and he would be helpless.
In this situation, I can't afford to offend either side. What should I do?
Now that he heard that Zhang Wei was coming, Mao Qiangguang naturally understood that this was the Han family's doing, or rather, it was someone they had found.
Mao Qiangguang knew that Xu Xianchun was dealing with the Han family. After all, Han Guotai was still arrested, and the charge that was spread was that he was falsely accused. What kind of charge was this?
Once the Han family knew about it, no matter how he explained, it would be useless. Now Mao Qiangguang could only hope that Xu Xianchun was just trying to get some benefits, otherwise it would be troublesome, and he would not be able to explain it clearly even if he wanted to.
The Han family might then sacrifice the car to save the driver, and the one who would be abandoned would definitely be me, and the one who would be protected might be Han Guotai, or it might be the Han family.
How could Mao Qiangguang not be anxious?
"Why don't I go and lead the way?" Mao Qiangguang looked at Xu Xianchun and said directly.
"No need for that. I'm already familiar with this place." Xu Xianchun stood up, shook his head and said, "You should think about the chess game carefully. We'll continue playing when you come back. You've been losing these past two days. This is not good."
After Xu Xianchun finished speaking, he stood up and walked outside.
Mao Qiangguang stood up and made a farewell gesture.
After Xu Xianchun left, Mao Qiangguang sat down again. His face was gloomy, but he was cursing in his heart.
Play chess, play chess, play your mother's Xipi! Why are you pretending to be a master?
You are just the chief of the Embroidered Uniform Guards. It's okay for you to kill people and frame people with a knife; but you are pretending to be a master. Do you think you are very good at chess?
If I hadn't let you win, you would have lost long ago! And now you dare to mock me, you really don't know what you're talking about!
Niang Xipi!
After cursing inwardly, Mao Qiangguang's expression finally calmed down. Now that he was done cursing, he had to start thinking of a solution. He didn't know how the talks would turn out, but he had to find a way to leave here.
At this time, Xu Xianchun came to the front hall and met Zhang Wei.
After the two of them greeted each other, they began to talk.
Xu Xianchun looked at Zhang Wei and asked, "Yangzhou looks great. Your father-in-law looks so good. I haven't seen you in a few years, and you're still as charming as ever."
"I'm getting old," Zhang Wei said with a smile. "Life isn't easy these days. Although Yangzhou may seem bright and sunny, there are some things you can't predict. If something really happens, our family won't be well off either. How can we possibly live a good life if we're living in fear every day?"
A threat? A warning? A metaphor?
Xu Xianchun reacted quickly in his heart, but it didn't matter.
Now I have already learned a trick. No matter which direction the wind blows, I will remain unmoved. You can do whatever you want.
No matter what tricks you play, I'm going to punch you to death.
"I see. Eunuch Zhang serves his country and his king so well. It's a rare honor." After saying that, Xu Xianchun leaned back on his chair and said tactically, "I wonder what Eunuch Zhang wants to do? Is there something you need the Jinyiwei's help with? If you have anything, just tell me and we can discuss it."
Zhang Wei nodded and said, "Actually, there are some things I want to ask Captain Mao Qiguang, but I can't find him these days. It seems like he's missing. But we know he's in this government office. I wonder if Lord Xu could bring him out so we can all meet him?"
After hearing this, Xu Xianchun glanced at Zhang Wei and said, "Of course, no problem."
After saying this, Xu Xianchun turned around and glanced at his men, then ordered, "Tell Lord Mao to stop thinking about the chess game and ask him to come over. Tell him that Eunuch Zhang wants to see him."
"Yes, sir." The subordinate agreed, turned around and walked to the back.
Not long after, Mao Qiangguang came over.
When Mao Qiangguang saw Zhang Wei, he was so happy.
I finally made it out! If nothing else, at least spread the word! Great, great!
