Ruan Qiang's results in the imperial examination were actually not bad, even if he couldn't stay in Beijing, he could be in any county in Gyeonggi at worst that year.

However, the first appointment he received came from the most prosperous Jingshi in Chen State to this remote Wanzhou.

He stayed in Wanzhou for ten years.

No one knows that in addition to being the county lieutenant of Wanzhou, he is also a secret spy of the imperial court, and in the past ten years, all the movements in Wanzhou have been watched by the imperial court, and he has to write a secret letter every month to report to the imperial court.

He was the first to notice the changes in Qiandi, and it was also the news he sent to Jingshi, but in the past few months, three spies have been sent to Qiandi, but there is no news, and the one in front of him is already the fourth he has seen.

Seeing that Tang Ning pointed out the Ten Thousand Gu Sect straight to the point, a trace of surprise appeared on Ruan Qiang's face, but he still shook his head and said: "If you go back to your lordship, as far as your subordinates know, the main altar of the Ten Thousand Ancient Sect will change every year and will not be located in one place, unless it is their core sect members, no one knows where their main altar is located." ”

Tang Ning frowned slightly, he didn't expect that the Wan Gu Sect was so mysterious in Qiandi, and few people even knew where the main altar was located, so it would be even more difficult for him to find Su Mei.

Ruan Qiang shook his head and said, "It is said that decades ago, the main altar of the Ten Thousand Gu Sect was not like this, and later it was said that a major event happened in their sect, and since then, they have begun to change the place of the main altar frequently......"

These were not Tang Ning's concerns, he looked at Ruan Qiang and asked, "Where can I find the core members of the Ten Thousand Gu Sect?" ”

"I don't know about this subordinate." Ruan Qiang looked at him and said solemnly: "The methods of the people in the Ten Thousand Gu Sect are superb, the ghosts and gods are unpredictable, adults must be careful, before you, there have already been three adults who have suffered accidents......"

With the old beggar here, Tang Ning naturally didn't worry about their Gu arts, if he wanted to talk about Gu arts, he who had already learned the Ten Thousand Gu Poison Sutra, his Gu Technique attainments were not necessarily worse than their ten elders, after all, they hadn't seen the complete Poison Sutra either.

Speaking of the old beggar, Tang Ning remembered that before they entered the city, this old guy didn't know where he had gone, and he had to wait for him to find him before he could go deep into Qiandi.

He didn't get any useful news from Ruan Qiang, Tang Ning was a little disappointed in his heart, it seems that this time, he will investigate after entering Qiandi.

Ruan Qiang sent him out of the house, bowed down and said, "Slow down, adults." ”

He looked at the back of the big man in the secret spy department leaving, his lips moved, and he didn't open his mouth after all.

He has been sitting in the position of Wanzhou County Lieutenant for ten years, and according to the rules for the promotion of officials in the Chen State, he should have been promoted a few years ago, but because of his identity as a secret agent, he has only been sitting in this position for ten years.

He actually wanted to ask when he could be transferred out of Wanzhou, but he didn't have the courage to ask.

He sighed lightly, and was about to turn back, when suddenly a figure stumbled over from the side, stopped in front of him, and said sadly: "My lord, please make the decision for the little woman......

County Lieutenant Ruan was taken aback, took a few steps back, and asked, "Who are you, and what do you want this official to do?" ”

The woman looked at him and said, "Liang family......"

Hearing the word Liang family, County Lieutenant Ruan sighed in his heart, waved his hand, and said: "The affairs of the Liang family, this official can't control ......."

The woman's face was pale, and she said anxiously: "Your Excellency, ......"

County Lieutenant Ruan waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go......"

The woman's face turned even paler, and she was about to speak, when suddenly a voice came from behind her.

"Miss Zhao?"

Zhao Yun'er turned around, looked at the figure opposite, and blurted out, "Tang, Lord Tang, why are you here?" ”

Tang Ning looked at her, a hint of discoloration appeared on his face, and said, "Sure enough, it's Miss Zhao." ”

When their family had just moved to Beijing, Zhong Yi was very good friends with Zhao Xiancheng's daughter at that time, but later Zhao Xiancheng stood on the side of the Tang family and opposed his father-in-law, who was the commander of Ping'an County at the time, and then, his corruption and bribery were exposed and he was sentenced to exile by the imperial court......

Although his family was not implicated in the incident, Zhao Yun'er and her mother have since left Jingshi and have not been heard from since.

Zhao Yun'er was the first friend who liked to be in Jingshi, and that incident made her feel a little depressed for a long time.

Tang Ning didn't expect to meet her in Wanzhou this time.

……

In Ruan's mansion, Zhao Yun'er held a teacup in her hand and whispered: "Yun'er's ancestral home is in Wanzhou, when my father was sentenced to exile, and then died of illness on the road, after my mother and I buried our father, we returned here......"

She glanced up at Tang Ning, and then quickly lowered her head again.

Although she is far away in Wanzhou, she often pays attention to the news of Jingshi, and in the past few years, she is clear about the major things he has done in Beijing.

Quelled the rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River, relieved the crisis in the northwest, suppressed the rebellion of King Kang, and became the youngest prime minister in the history of the Chen State......

He was full of radiance, and even in the most remote corner of Chen Guo, it was difficult to ignore the dazzling light on him.

In fact, there is a secret, she has been buried deep in her heart for many years, when the champion of Sanyuan and the first Yuanlang, is the husband of countless women in Beijing, and she is also one of these countless women.

However, the current identity of the two, one is the prime minister above ten thousand people under one person, and the other has been humbled to the dust, she feels ashamed and inferior because she has such thoughts, and buries her head lower.

……

The events of that year have long passed, and now even the behemoth of the Tang family has fallen apart, and Tang Ning naturally will not remember a small Ping'an County.

He was just a little embarrassed about Zhao Yuner's changes, the former official lady, but at the moment, she seemed a little cowardly, and the generous Miss Zhao was like two people.

When she first arrived in Beijing, she was unfamiliar with her life and didn't have any friends, but it was Zhao Yuner who took her to integrate into the circle of celebrities in Beijing, and she has always regarded Zhao Yuner as a friend, which makes Tang Ning's impression of her still good.

Ruan Qiang looked at Tang Ning and asked tentatively, "Do you know this girl?" ”

Tang Ning nodded and said, "Miss Zhao is my friend. ”

He looked at Zhao Yun'er and asked, "What are you looking for County Lieutenant Ruan?" ”

Zhao Yun'er lowered her head and whispered, "I want to beg Lord Ruan to save my mother from the Liang family." ”

Tang Ning continued to ask, "What's wrong with your mother?" ”

Zhao Yun'er whispered: "She owes money to the Liang family's casino, and they arrested ......"

Downing asked, "How much does she owe to others?" ”

Zhao Yun'er said: "Three hundred taels." ”

Tang Ning took out a silver ticket from his arms, handed it to her, and said, "This is one thousand taels, you can take it and redeem her." ”

He looked at Zhao Yun'er and said, "The rest of the silver, you can live a good life, it is enough for you to have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life, don't let her gamble anymore, it will ruin you." ”

She had a good crush on her back then. This thousand taels of silver is based on the feelings of the past.

Zhao Yun'er didn't take the silver, buried her head lower, and said: "My mother also scratched the son of the Liang family, and they refused to let go......"

Ruan County's eyelids jumped, he was very worried that the adult who came from above was a stunned young man, because this woman went to offend the Liang family, he coughed lightly and reminded: "My lord, the Liang family is the largest family in Wanzhou, and the history of Wanzhou thorns comes from the Liang family......"

Tang Ning looked at him and asked: "It is natural to repay debts, as for hurting ......people, the imperial court also has corresponding laws, how to punish it, when will it be the turn of others to interfere in the judgment of the government?" ”

"Adults don't know...... Ruan Qiang rubbed his eyebrows and said, "This is Wanzhou, and the situation is a little different from that of Jingshi......"

"Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, what is the difference between Wanzhou and Jingshi?" Tang Ning waved his hand and said, "This matter will be done according to the law." ”

Zhao Yun'er stood up and said gratefully, "Thank you, Lord Tang, ......"

Tang Ning held his hands and said, "You're welcome, you and Xiaoyi used to be called sisters, you don't have to call me Lord Tang, just call me Tang Ning." ”

Ruan Qiang originally wanted to persuade Tang Ning, but when he heard this, his eyes widened, and he raised his head and said, "Tang ......, what is Tang?" ”

[ps: I ran outside for a day today, and I was tired of exploding when I got home, and I will change it today, and I will make up for it as soon as possible. 】
