Chapter Twenty-Three: A Threat from the County Guard

The midday sun was not strong, and it fell lazily, through the branches of the trees that were not too thick, and fell to the ground, outlining a chaotic mottled beauty. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Under a large area of mottled light and shadow, not far from the courtyard, it can be regarded as a pavilion extending outward from the Qixia Temple, surrounded by a narrow artificial stream on both sides, and the small bowls with wide mouths and short bodies flow slowly along the stream. The brocade-clothed boy in the pavilion is afraid that he has his own identity, and does not sit with the scholars who sit scattered around the courtyard, but sits uprightly on the mat in the pavilion, because he does not need to listen to the debate now, and is playing Go.

Wang Ningzhi was ushered into the seat by the woman in the green skirt, and before he could sit down, he was jokingly ridiculed by the people around him about the "biting the dog" anecdote just now, but he didn't deliberately find fault, he naturally saw this clearly, and thought that he really wanted to make friends, so he also answered a few words accordingly...... After some conversation, he had the identity of the characters in the pavilion.

There are not many people, and the only people who can really speak are Sima Yi, the king of Langya, and Zheng Qingfeng and Zheng Guan of Qixiaguan...... Obviously, the highest person who participated in this debate today was Sima Yi, the king of Langya, so that even those Shangqing Daoists who came from afar were thrown aside by Zheng Qingfeng.

Sima Yi is a young man, similar in age to Wang Ningzhi, although he has a good appearance, he is not as handsome as in the TV series of later generations, and he is not to blame, there are many people who want to have the title of King Langya, and it is estimated that this is not what is played on TV.

Holding a white child in his hand, hanging in the air and hesitating, Sima Yi said: "Recently, I have heard a lot of rumors about Shuping, I don't think it's true, I still estimate who is messing with the rumors, if there is really a book and a crown to say, I'm afraid it is also a demonic character...... When I saw it today, I was really surprised. ”

Zheng Qingfeng smiled on the other side, but he did not urge Sima Yi to fall into the field, but helped to laugh at Wang Ningzhi: "If the saying of 'biting the dog' spreads, there will be one more scolding joke in the future." ”

"That's what makes you famous." The woman in the green dress is named Ruan Qin, and she is Sima Yi's concubine, but she can also interject.

The people in the pavilion are different from the people in the previous two gatherings, they don't speak with a sense of domineering, they are approachable, just like talking to people close to them, Wang Ningzhi casually took over the conversation: "This reputation is unacceptable, notoriety, to be honest, it's not as good as others praising me for my good looks." ”

Ruan Qin sneered, pointed at Sima Yi and said, "Don't be afraid of Shuping Gongzi, there is Lang Jun again, and you still need to worry about spreading your notoriety?" ”

"Oh?" Wang Ningzhi was a little surprised, although the Sima family is a royal family, in fact, it can't even compare to the four major families, I'm afraid that the name of the prince is not of much use, but listening to Ruan Qin's meaning, this Sima Yi is very capable?

Sima Yi is the king of Langya, Wang Ningzhi is only familiar with the title of "King of Langya", but he has no impression of the character of Sima Yi.

Zheng Qingfeng had a hint of deep meaning on his face, and said in a low voice: "Shuping doesn't know yet, Yanling's current identity, in addition to the title of King Langya, is also the new Zhongzheng of Huiji County...... can be valued by Trillium, so naturally there is no need to worry about notoriety. ”

Sima Yi snapped his head, and was not dissatisfied with Zheng Qingfeng's disclosure of his identity, but he also scolded with a smile: "Take a needle and thread to sew it on your mouth, it always leaks." ”

The ...... of the Central Governor The election system of this era is the nine-product Zhongzheng system, and Wang Ningzhi is no stranger to the official name of Zhongzheng Guan, when he was in the Wang family, he had already heard from the fragmented thoughts of the harvest, Wang Xizhi had intended to contact the Zhongzheng of Huiji County, so as to pave the way for himself to be an official, but the predecessor did not mean to be an official, so he could only give up. It's just that he just wants to be a quiet teacher at home now, and he doesn't want to yearn for officialdom - now he is not as good as before, in the past, he had to fight in order to live well, even if he got everything, he couldn't easily relax, and the feet of the superior were always layers of bones, and there were not many enemies but they were quite deterrent, forcing him to put all his energy into it all the time.

Now it's different, the Wang family is such a big family, even if he doesn't do anything, he won't starve to death.

How chic it is to collect rent and live a life.

"I'm not going to walk through the back door for Shuping...... Well, even if I say it in vain, I know that Shuping has no interest in this as soon as I look at him, and I think it is also, talented people will despise the temple. ”

Wang Ningzhi hurriedly shirked: "I don't mean to despise it, it's just that I've always been lazy, if I am really bound by the official position, I am worried that I will not do well and make myself unhappy, in fact, I still admire people who are officials, especially good officials who are sincere for the people." ”

Sima Yi nodded and exclaimed: "This is the right idea, few people can think like this now, really capable people talk about Xuan seclusion, only a small number of people are out of office, and they are running around for how to settle the people, how to prosper the country, and how to go around the Northern Expedition...... We are inferior to the temples, but we don't have to despise them. Speaking of this, Sima Yi ate a sunspot, paused, and then looked up at Wang Ningzhi, a little serious, and said: "Although I have not been here for a long time, I have also heard some things, I wonder if Shuping can be prepared?" ”

"What?" Wang Ningzhi asked.

"There is a garrison of the Wandering Army on the edge of Huiji County, the commander is called Xu Heng, and his son is Xu Lian, who had a conflict with you that day. Because of their surname Xu, they have a close relationship with the county guard Xu Shen, and they have frequent private friends on weekdays, but because of your kidnapping, Yi Shao asked a lot of people to exert pressure, and I heard that his life has not been easy recently...... It's just that Xu Shen is a very small person, and you have to be careful not to be retaliated against by him. Sima Yi reminded that there were some places that he was inconvenient to say, but it was enough for Wang Ningzhi to understand.

Although the Wang family is in decline, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the valued characters have been tied up in the territory of the county guard, and the key county guard is still close to the kidnappers, so all this is enough for Xu Shen to drink a pot.

Wang Ning's heart moved, and his good impression of Sima Yi was greatly improved.

Now he has figured out that the title of Sima Yi's king, King Langya, was given after the previous King Langya succeeded him as the emperor, and the former predecessor was also the emperor, which means that if the current emperor still has no heirs, he will be treated as the first heir, and it is likely to be the future emperor. It's just that this can't be determined, no one knows how long the current emperor will live, and he can't curse people to die early when they are still alive...... Because of this identity, Sima Yi is always surrounded by noisy and flattering people, and now when he comes here, he is afraid that he is also seeking to be pure.

Based on this identity, Sima Yi's words were very credible, so he had to believe it, so he immediately thanked him, saying that he would be careful.

Then they talked about a lot of things, but there were not many things related to politics, such a leisurely venue, it was very bad to talk about politics all the time, and Sima Yi was a little weak in Wang Ningzhi's opinion, and he was not suitable for politics, but he had a special identity and couldn't help himself. But it is enough to make Wang Ningzhi have some knowledge, all along, in addition to his family, he is a small guy who often runs errands, his true identity is unknown, and he is also a little nervous when talking to his relatives, worried that he will be suspected of exposing the difference from his predecessor, such and such concerns finally make his vision limited to the Wang family, and he does not have a deep understanding of this era.

Nowadays, when I talk to people who represent religion and politics, I talk a lot, and I always get what I want from a few words...... He still has this ability.

About a game of chess was played here, Zheng Qingfeng thanked Wang Ning and left, as the organizer of the debate, he naturally could not be absent, the afternoon debate had already begun, but Wang Ningzhi was not interested in it after all.

The purpose of coming here is to entrust the group of people in the homeless village to Qi Xiaguan, and now that the goal has been achieved, it is not interesting for him to continue to stay here, so he discussed with the He family, said goodbye to Sima Yi, and prepared to leave here.

It's just that before leaving, Sima Yi, the king of Langya, whispered to him: "If Shuping has official intentions, he must come to me, this back door can still be opened." ”

……

Sitting face-to-face with Wang Ningzhi, watching him frown and be silent, He didn't dare to disturb, so he could only play with his white and tender fingers, a little bored.

This is on the way home, because Wang Ningzhi's body has always been frail and sickly, similar to Wang Xuanzhi, He is not only concerned about this because of her husband, but also not to let Wang Ningzhi walk on the road in order to avoid suspicion, which is why there is this scene.

But He didn't know what the Langya King and Wang Ningzhi said, after getting in the car, Wang Ningzhi kept frowning and thinking about things, and his appearance was similar to Lang Jun's appearance when he was thinking about problems and dealing with housework, after all, he was a brother, and sometimes she was in a trance, especially after Wang Ningzhi grew up, no matter how she looked at it, it looked like a copy of Wang Xuanzhi...... used to be stubborn and pedantic, looking like an old teenager, but now there are changes, and the communication with people is much gentler, and he will make some jokes, and occasionally show a trace of intimidating momentum when debating with others.

"Sister-in-law, what do you have to deal with on weekdays?" Wang Ningzhi, who had been silent, suddenly asked.

He Shi was stunned, I don't know why Wang Ningzhi suddenly became interested in these mundane things, but as Wang Xuanzhi's pillow person, she sometimes helps with it, and she is also familiar with this: "The rent collection of the grange, the armament of the tribe and the trivial matters in the manor are more or less handled by your eldest brother, but sometimes there are too many things, and those trivial things that are easy to deal with will be handed over to me to do." ”

"Part of the song?" Wang Ningzhi said leisurely, his face gradually returned to calm, stared at He Shi and said, "Sister-in-law, you can talk to your eldest brother after you go back, let your eldest brother recover well, I can help with these things, anyway, I have nothing to do on weekdays except teaching." ”

"It's okay......" He agreed, but he was even more suspicious in his heart.

Jiro ...... Is it a complete transition?
