In mid-September, when Liang Guangyi ordered his people to bring eighty boxes of gold to Xiao Yan outside the city, Canglang led his people to count them one by one.
After half an hour, Canglang waved his hand and ordered people to seal the boxes and took over the boxes.
The person from the aristocratic family who came to give the gold was Liang Guangyi's nephew Liang Shun. His eyes turned red when he looked at the boxes. Seeing Cang Lang come back, he couldn't help but sneer: "You are so young, but it's just some gold. It's worth counting the boxes." , do you think we will lie to you?"
Cang Lang didn't care: "I can't help it. I have never seen so much gold in my life. I have to open the eyes of the people below first, lest they be overwhelmed with excitement after transporting the gold back. What if it happens on the way? It’s overturned. How difficult is it to pick up so much gold?”
"You..." Liang Shun's eyes turned redder.
This is obviously their gold, the flesh and blood of their family! ! !
Liang Guangyi waved his hand to block the speaker: "Okay, don't act like this and make people laugh."
"uncle……"
Liang Shun wanted to speak, but when he met Liang Guangyi's eyes, he could only grit his teeth and glare at Cang Lang and Xiao Yan, then stepped aside bitterly.
Liang Guangyi said to Xiao Yan: "We have already given the gold as promised. This is for the He family. As long as you present it in front of everyone tomorrow morning, I will advise the prince to clear the name of the He family and recommend you." Inherit the title.”
Xiao Yan looked at the thing and laughed: "Thank you so much, Master Liang."
"Then what did you promise me?"
"This governor keeps his word, and the He family's matter ends here..."
Liang Guangyi just breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, turned around and wanted to take the people around him back to the city, when he heard the sound of horse hoofbeats. A moment later, someone galloped over. Two horses outside the forest seemed to be walking side by side, gradually approaching from a distance. They arrived in front of him and Xiao Yan almost at the same time.
The people on the horse turned over and quickly approached him and Xiao Yan.
"Lord Governor, there is a letter from the palace. Your Majesty is awake."
"Grand Master, Your Majesty has urgently summoned you to the palace."
Liang Guangyi suddenly looked up at Xiao Yan, while Liang Shun next to him had surprise on his face.
"Uncle, Your Majesty is awake!"
Relying on his status as the crown prince, the prince kept tormenting the court during this period, and Xiao Yan used his power as the prince to force them to give in.
The uncle had to use several family members' wealth to buy Xiao Yan's hand. Now that His Majesty wakes up, why should the Crown Prince do this? Liang Shun remembered that someone had suppressed the prince when Emperor An woke up, and Xiao Yan couldn't be as arrogant as now. He suddenly looked at the gold that Cang Lang and the others planned to escort away, and spoke urgently.
"Uncle, please let someone stop the gold. Don't let them take away the things..."
Uh-huh!
Before he finished speaking, two strong winds passed by his face. One of them passed by his ear, making half of his ears bloody, and the other almost cut his neck.
Liang Shun suddenly screamed.
"Xiao Yan!" Liang Guangyi raised his head.
Xiao Yanling gently pulled the hanging bamboo branch beside him with his white fingers. The two pointed leaves on it had disappeared. He raised his eyes and said indifferently: "I just heard that someone wants to touch my gold?"
"It's obviously us..."
Uh-huh!
A bamboo leaf shot straight in front of Liang Shun's eyes. The guards around him were shocked and quickly swung their swords. It was obviously a thin and soft thing, but it made a sound of gold and iron colliding with the tip of the sword.
The Liang family guards staggered back, drawing swords one after another.
Liang Shun was so frightened that his face turned pale and he almost sat down on the ground.
"Does Master Liang want the governor's gold?" Xiao Yan's eyes were cold.
Liang Guangyi: "..."
Although he did hesitate for a moment when he heard that Emperor An woke up and summoned him, but now seeing Xiao Yan protecting his food so fiercely, and looking at the black-armored guards staring at them eagerly, Liang Guangyi turned his head towards him. Liang Shun was just a slap in the face.
"Who told you to talk too much?"
"uncle……"
"Shut up!"
Liang Guangyi shouted loudly, and the coldness in his eyes made Liang Shun dare not speak. After seeing him shut up, Liang Guangyi said to Xiao Yan: "My nephew has always been stupid, and the Liang family has no heirs. Otherwise, I would not have chosen to support Lu Chongyuan to rise to power."
In disguise, he admitted his mistake to Xiao Yan, and then continued:
"You can rest assured, Governor Xiao. These golds are an apology gift from our family to you. The things agreed between you and me still stand. Even if His Majesty wakes up, I will not regret it. I only hope that Governor Xiao can remember it." You promised me that you will let go of our family's affairs, and even if we can't be in harmony with each other, we won't make things difficult for you in the future."
After Liang Guangyi finished speaking, he said directly without waiting for Xiao Yan's reply:
"Since Your Majesty has regained consciousness and ordered someone to summon you, I don't want to stay too long, so I'll take my leave first."
Xiao Yan said quietly: "Master Liang, walk slowly."
Liang Guangyi took the Liang family members away and waited until they got out of the small woods before getting on the carriage parked outside.
Hearing the sound of boxes being moved inside, the sound of horse hooves, and the wheels rolling away, Liang Shun covered his face and said, "Uncle, why are you afraid of Xiao Yan? He just took advantage of the prince to suppress him for a moment." We, now that His Majesty is awake and the Crown Prince can no longer hold power, why don’t we use the gold..."
"okay!"
Liang Guangyi frowned: "Do you think His Majesty can turn to us when he wakes up? Or do you think that His Majesty can do anything to defeat Xiao Yan when he wakes up?"
He has not forgotten that he was one of the people who forced Emperor An in the Zichen Palace before. What's more, what happened that night was caused by Cui Lin and him. With Emperor An's temperament, even if he could tolerate it for a while because of the "overall situation", he could take it back later. The great power must also be liquidated.
not to mention……
"The Tiger Talisman is still in Xiao Yan's hand. The previous imperial edict has been spread throughout the country. His Majesty's imperial edict is still in Xiao Yan's hands. It is he who personally issued the edict to establish the crown prince. Even if your majesty wakes up and fights with the prince for power, who will win? Defeat is still uncertain, if you think Xiao Yan is not sure, why would you be so calm just now when you heard that His Majesty is awake?"
"But..." Liang Shun refused.
Liang Guangyi breathed a sigh of relief, his face a little sad: "I know you are not willing to give in, and I am not willing to give in, but the He family is destined to overturn the case, and it is useless for anyone to come."
That blood letter, He Wenzhuo's letter, even if it was placed in front of Emperor An, he would have to admit defeat.
"Xiao Yan is very capable, and he is very vengeful. It's not a bad thing to buy him with 800,000 gold to stop him. As for the rest..."
"The current situation is stronger than others. You must learn to be patient. If you have the opportunity in the future, you can naturally find it again. Why bother seeking temporary gain."
Liang Shun touched the blood on his ear, gritted his teeth and cursed: "That eunuch..."
"He is Marquis Xuanyi, a member of the He family. Don't mention this word again in the future."
Seeing that Liang Shun shut up, Liang Guangyi said: "After entering the city, I will go to the palace to meet the saint. You can go back directly to the house. Don't talk nonsense about what happened just now."
…
"Master Governor, why is Emperor An awake?" Canglang whispered.
"He has been in a coma for such a long time. The overall situation in the court has been decided. Wake up when you wake up."
If he doesn't wake up, Liu Tongen may lose control.
Xiao Yan glanced at the gold that was loaded onto the carriage and said, "You personally take the people to send the gold away. Be careful on the way so that you don't get intercepted."
"That's not possible. Whoever steals my money will be killed by me!"
This is the lifeblood of his governor!
Xiao Yan smiled and said, "Okay, let's go, I have to go back to Beijing."
When Emperor An woke up, he had to go see him.
