After Chen Ziyou left, Confucian Sheng naturally pushed all the pots of Liu Neng's tragic death on Chen Ziyou after everyone woke up, and then became the new owner of Heifeng Village under the recommendation of his secretly cultivated cronies.

And Chen Ziyou, who had arrived in the border city of Wei at this moment, temporarily settled in Xiao Ni's home.

"Brother, those bad people are still alive, what if they continue to harm people in the future?" Xiao Ni has grown up a lot overnight since her father died, and at this time, she thought of those thieves in Heifeng Village who were still alive, and couldn't help but ask Chen Ziyou.

Chen Ziyou smiled indifferently and said to Xiao Ni: "Xiao Ni, you have to remember that good people have good rewards, and bad people will naturally have their retribution. ”

As early as after arriving at the border city of Wei State, he repaired a letter and sent it to the border city of Zhongshan State, and reported to the government in detail the specific location and staffing of Heifeng Village. But he didn't tell Xiao Ni and her mother that Liu Neng was dead, and their great feud was avenged, and Chen Ziyou didn't want Xiao Ni, who was only seven years old, to know so many bloody things.

In this troubled era, many things have to be solved by seeing blood, but Chen Ziyou still hopes that Xiaoni can retain her innocence.

Just as Chen Ziyou drifted his thoughts farther away and began to think about his next plan, the woman next to him suddenly knelt down.

"What do you mean, ma'am?" Chen Ziyou saw the woman suddenly kneeling down and said in confusion.

With tears in her eyes, the woman said gratefully: "The prince has great kindness to Xiaoni and the concubine, and the spirit of the master in the sky can also rest in peace. It's a pity that the concubine's family is poor, and she has nothing to repay, so she can only kneel down to thank her son. ”

Chen Ziyou sighed, he should have thought that in this era, no matter whether you use money or power to repay your kindness, kneeling is always an indispensable etiquette. Perhaps for the sake of the gradual development of civilization, the successive generations of executives did not abolish the ritual of prostration, but continued it. As a person in the ancient civilization period, although Chen Ziyou is disgusted with such etiquette, he does not have the power to abolish it.

"Madame, please get up!" Chen Ziyou hurriedly helped the woman up.

When the woman got up, her eyes hesitated, as if she was about to say something again.

Seeing this, Chen Ziyou hurriedly stopped: "It's just that the road is uneven, and I don't expect anything in return, and I hope that Mrs. will be self-respecting." ”

Chen Ziyou was afraid that the woman would say something to promise her, so he hurriedly stopped the woman's words.

The woman smiled sadly: "The concubine's broken body is indeed wronged by the son." ”

Chen Ziyou didn't want to stay for a long time, so he got up and said, "There are still important things to do, so I won't talk about it." ”

"Big brother, are you leaving? Xiao Ni still wants her big brother to play with Xiao Ni for a few more days! Xiao Ni saw that Chen Ziyou was leaving, and quickly grabbed the corner of Chen Ziyou's clothes.

Chen Ziyou smiled helplessly and touched Xiao Ni's head: "Xiao Ni, people always have to go through a lot of partings in their lives, not to mention that my brother is just away for a while, and we will have the opportunity to meet in the future." ”

Then he took a minotion of gold from his baggage and gave it to the woman.

The woman excused herself in surprise and said, "Childe is not allowed!" The concubine's family's revenge depends on the son's revenge, how can she receive such a favor again. ”

Chen Ziyou shook his head and insisted on stuffing the gold to the woman: "I like Xiaoni very much, Xiaoni's father died, your family has lost the backbone of life, I don't know how to live in the future, you take this silver, find a good location in the city to open an inn, and the future will be much better." When Xiaoni grows up, find her a teacher. ”

Seeing that Chen Ziyou insisted, the woman no longer shirked, and nodded gratefully.

Chen Ziyou walked out of the courtyard gate, no longer looking at Xiao Ni and the woman behind him, although he was very reluctant to bear this lovely child, but he had too many things to bear, he could only protect one person's smile when he stayed here, and only by going out could he protect more people's smiles.

The woman pulled Xiao Ni to her knees and kowtowed to Chen Ziyou three times from a distance.

......

Chen Ziyou, who said goodbye to Xiaoni's family, did not stay in the border city for long, but soon embarked on the journey to Daliang, the capital of Wei.

Along the way, he also learned a lot about the folk customs of Wei and some interesting rumors in the court.

As a part of the former Jin State, the Wei State inherited the second largest territory after the division of the Jin State, and it still owned the richest land in the Jin State, and the national capital Daliang was also the old capital of the Jin State, and the local people all boasted that they were the remnants of the Jin State, and they had a lot of backbone. However, it is a pity that the Wei State, which should have taken this opportunity to revive the legacy of the old Jin Dynasty, has changed four generations of monarchs in the past ten years, but they have not cultivated government affairs, and they are even more groveling to the outside world.

The people have backbone, but the king is promiscuous. The stark contrast between the people and the monarch is emotional.

Recently, there was a rumor in the market that made the people even more worried, and the King of Wei, who had just been on the throne for less than a year, heard that he suddenly contracted a very serious wind chill at the beginning of the year, and the imperial doctors in the palace were helpless. Although this King of Wei is not a monarch with great talents, he has been conscientious since he ascended the throne, and the people are still quite supportive. Expecting to have the opportunity to revive the majesty of the old Jin, the King of Wei suddenly contracted the wind cold.

"What do you say, what is this called?" Several ordinary people were talking in the inn about the rumors that the King of Wei was sick.

Chen Ziyou had just arrived in Daliang, the capital of Wei, and found a place to stay, preparing to enter the palace tomorrow to meet the King of Wei, but after hearing the news of King Wei's illness, his heart was at a loss.

Could it be that the plan is about to come to naught before it is implemented? Chen Ziyou is unwilling, even if he can't see the king of Wei tomorrow, he will at least meet the person who is now presiding over the government, the powerful minister in the mouth of the people, the minister of Wei - Wu Kui.

This Wu Kui is nearly fifty years old, it is said that his family was poor when he was young, but he studied hard, and later he was fortunate to worship a contemporary Confucian as a teacher, and after completing his studies, he became a prominent man in the old Jin Kingdom and gradually emerged. After the three families of Han, Zhao and Wei were divided, they chose to stay in Wei as an official, and with the prestige and merits accumulated in the past, they finally climbed to the high position of Xiangguo. And since he became the prime minister, he has assisted three generations of monarchs, and he has always stood tall in the court. Because the kings of the past dynasties were all unscrupulous, but Wu Kui still maintained the operation of the government by himself, at least let the people's lives be comfortable, so in the eyes of many people, Wu Kui can be regarded as a good official.

However, there is one thing that makes Chen Ziyou very curious, in addition to the first generation of Wei monarchs died of old age and weakness, the next two generations of monarchs turned out to be short-lived ghosts, one is said to have died of internal organ failure caused by excessive drinking, and the other is even more outrageous, it is said that he was playing with his concubine in the courtyard of the palace, fell into the lake by mistake, and finally suffocated to death without timely rescue. And the monarch of this generation has only been on the throne for a year, but he has contracted the wind and cold again.

So many bizarre things happened to the monarch assisted by Wu Kui, it was difficult not to make Chen Ziyou suspicious.

It seems that it may not be easy to enter the palace to meet King Wei this time......
