152 Ji Tong
In previous years, the officers and soldiers of those guards might be able to protest against laziness, after all, this search and rescue matter is not strictly within their scope of responsibility...... But this year, the prefect of Ji, and all the officials of the Ningbo Mansion, will never allow them to stay out of the matter and not contribute.
Fourth Master Shen is still a court official and the master of the ninth grade. An official like him probably only needs to command in the county government. When you really need to go outside, there will never be a shortage of people around you, and you will not really be in danger.
Therefore, Shen Rouning was not so worried about his safety.
To put it mildly-
Master Shen Si is a man who puts his wife first in everything. Not to mention anything else, just thinking about Mrs. Shen Si, he wouldn't go into danger with a hot head when he saw something! He has to take care of his own safety, and he will grow old with Mrs. Shen for a long time!
Shen Rouning specially reminded him!
He also patted his chest at that time and promised that he would never leave the gate of the county government easily! I will never be impulsive because of the blood generated by being instigated to make meritorious service and love the people!
He thinks of his wife and children, especially his wife, how can he not restrain himself?
In contrast, Shen Rouning was more worried about Chen Houji.
Chen Houji is a person who has a chivalrous heart to help others. It was easy for him to rush out for the sake of what he believed to be righteous and benevolent. Otherwise, he would not have met the county lord of Mingjia because of Lu Jianping, and he would not have met Qin Xu because of Lu Jianping.
And on the contrary, he relied on his martial arts that were slightly higher than ordinary martial artists, and he was always not in danger. Often, I will be careless. Just like before, he said that he went to pick up Shen Si's family to enter Beijing, but he was carelessly bitten by a snake on the mountain.
If it was to save ordinary people, he would definitely rush to the front with blood.
Shen Duanrong didn't worry much about Chen Houji: "Cousin, he is very powerful, he will definitely be fine." He was very optimistic and asked, "That sister, you said that if my cousin saved many people this time, he would have performed very well." Will he be able to be promoted through meritorious service? ”
"Definitely." Shen Rouning was also happy to see Shen Duanrong remain optimistic. said: "As long as he makes meritorious service, his father can report his merits, and his grandfather in the court will definitely not let his cousin be wronged." ”
"It's called. There are people in the DPRK who are good officials. Shen Rouning smiled.
The two siblings said this. The heart slowly calmed down. The sound of wind and rain outside is not very seeping anymore.
This storm comes and goes quickly. But by the next morning, there was only a light rain left. The wind also stopped, and the whole world was renewed.
Shen Rouning asked people to open the courtyard door, walked out, and took a few deep breaths.
She had just walked to a slightly remote place, but she saw a sneaky figure walking with her waist and looking behind her, coming in her direction. He wore the robes that were ubiquitous in temples, but he tucked the hem of his robes around his waist, revealing his gray-white underpants.
The behavior is very suspicious.
Shen Rouning stopped, looked at the man carefully, and finally remembered a person from the gray-white bandaged gauze wrapped around his head, that is, the little son of the Ji Governor's family who was beaten by the lord of Mingjia and beaten by Chen Houji, whose name seems to be Ji Tong?
Shen Rouning couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
It's been so long since the blessing ceremony ended, and Lord Mingjia has long since left here...... Why didn't this person leave? And why is he so sneaky?
Shen Rouning thought about it, pulled Bi Dong, signaled her not to speak, and the two of them found a pillar together to cover up their figures.
When Ji Tong walked over, Shen Rouning pulled Bi Dong and quietly followed him.
He turned around, and finally turned to the back wall of the small courtyard of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, squatted on the ground and pulled it a few times, and under the thorn-covered courtyard wall, there was actually a hole that was not big or small!
Shen Rou watched as this person got into the hole.
"Where did the thief come from?" Seeing that he could speak, Bi Dong immediately asked.
Shen Rouning didn't answer her, she smiled brightly, pursed her lips, and glanced at the hole that she couldn't see carefully if she didn't look closely, leaving a few clear footprints on the mud ground in front of her...... She said, "Let's go, let's go in from the front." ”
Holding an umbrella, she leisurely walked from the rain-washed bluestone slab for a while, and went around to the main entrance of the Zangjing Pavilion, and asked Bi Dong to call the door open, and said, "...... My girl wants to find a scripture to read, and I hope that the little master will be accommodating. ”
It was a young master who was only twelve or thirteen years old.
He recognized Shen Rouning and Bi Dong as pilgrims who had lived for a long time, and immediately invited two people in very politely.
It is estimated that there are at most three or five people in charge of wiping and cleaning. Compared to this place with more than a dozen rooms and three floors full of bookshelves, these few people are obviously very few.
It's very clean.
Bi Dong pulled the little master and asked questions.
Shen Rouning looked around, and finally saw traces of fresh soil, gave Bi Dong a look, and chased after the traces.
Bi Dong hurriedly asked the little master not to follow, and caught up with Shen Rouning by herself.
The two of them entered the room, went up to the second floor, and after standing quietly for a while, Shen Rouning pursed her lips and showed a little smile.
She motioned for Bi Dong to follow, and lightly turned around a few rows of bookshelves, and saw the person they were looking for-
Ji Tong crossed the dark corners of a few bookshelves, if he had to look for the books on the bookshelves next to him, he was afraid that he would not be found easily. But at this time, he was holding a big fat steamed bun in his hand, his cheeks were bulging, and he was muttering and muttering non-stop, and it was not a small movement in this quiet space.
Fortunately, there was still the sound of light rain outside.
Shen Rouning quietly approached a little.
That Ji Tong has been eating very attentively, muttering is also very focused, and he has never realized that he has been discovered!
Shen Rouning finally walked less than ten steps away from him and looked at this little boy Ji.
He was beaten by Chen Houji last time and was very injured. Especially a face, it really became a pig's head, and he couldn't see his original appearance at all. The reason why Shen Rouning was able to recognize him was only because there were no other pilgrims in this Puji Temple except for their Shen family. The monk with a bruised nose and swollen face who was finally injured, she had never heard of it either. Moreover, the clothes on this Ji Xiaogongzi have been changed, but the shoes have not been changed, and they are still the same pair as before. (To be continued......)
