Chapter 364: Survival Wisdom
Although Xiang Chengxian has a big temperament, he is not an ignorant person, he knows that Fang Yingwu must have a lot of miscellaneous things when he is just released from prison, so he didn't sit for too long, and after a little talk, he got up to say goodbye, and agreed to pick up the wind and wash the dust tomorrow.
Sending off Xiang Dagongzi, Fang Yingwu paced back and forth in the house a few times, carefully thought about his current situation, and silently arranged his three mountains.
Wanping Zhixian is a position, and now he can't help himself, he has to go up, and he has to go up, and he has no choice.
Although the compulsion of the magistrate of Jingxian County is higher than that of other magistrates, he is still a pro-people official after all, mainly focusing on substantive affairs, and most of the people he deals with on a daily basis are low-level characters, such as traffickers and pawns and wealthy domestic slaves.
In this situation, the reputation of the clear stream of their own family is only afraid of being useless, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an embroidered pillow, and the actual use is really uncertain, who cares about the clear stream of those little people?
And Wang Zhi's side, although they have made a few articles together this time, they have also made a deeper friendship, and they can entrust her to do something when it comes to relationships.
But the problem is that this time he has been suspected of colluding with Wang Zhi, and he is whimsical and able to speak and make things quite good. In the future, it is still necessary to pay attention to the impact in this regard.
If someone notices that he has too close contacts with Wang Zhi, it will damage the reputation he has worked so hard to build, and this kind of weapon should not be used lightly. Besides, with Wang Zhi and Xichang's style, I'm afraid it will only cause destruction, and it is still possible to invite them to do bad things, and it will be a bit insufficient to do things.
Moreover, how to bring Sun Xiaoniang, who is now Mrs. Sun Heming, into the house as soon as possible is also a worry. Don't really be preempted by the people who want to eat the swan meat of the Lady of the Commandment. The first few times I mentioned it, Wang Zhi talked about him left and right. Very helpless.
So to sum up, the so-called three mountains. At present and for some time to come, the most useful thing is the future old Taishan. Thinking of this, Fang Yingwu suddenly remembered another person, that is, his own examiner Li Dongyang.
Although this teacher Li is known as a native of Huguang Chaling, three generations of his ancestors and grandchildren have lived in the capital, and he himself does not know whether he has been to Chaling or not, so he said that the imperial examination was also taken in Beijing. From this point of view, Mr. Li is an authentic native of Beijing.
The door of the Li Mansion was opened every day to entertain guests, and Fang Yingwu analyzed it accordingly. Mr. Li is in the capital division of this acre of three-point land, the road should be very wild, since he wants to be the magistrate of Beijing County, then when he is free, he should go to Mr. Li to walk around, and he will not be able to get it in the future.
Looking at the sun, it was already late afternoon, Fang Yingwu felt that time was pressing, so he planned to go out to visit Liu's Mansion. Presumably, Liu Mian has already returned home, unlike his father, who basically commutes to work at the specified time every day.
On the day he was released from prison, he visited his home. Only then did he seem to be diligent and kind, and the wedding date was approaching, so he had to see what he needed to prepare.
As soon as he thought of it, Fang Yingwu immediately went out of the house to greet his entourage. There are two of his long-term followers. One is Sister Lan's brother Wang Ying, and the other is her brother Fang Yingshi. At this time, I saw Wang Ying standing at the bottom of the stairs and bowing his hand to listen to the order, but Fang Yingshi was gone.
Wang Ying asked with concern: "Brother Qiu is going out?" I just came home from the prison today. Wouldn't it be too much work to go out again? ”
Fang Yingwu stretched and replied, "Lie in prison all day long." Idle eggs hurt! When you come out, it's time for more activities! Where did Brother Ying Shi go? ”
While talking. But he saw a dignified-looking little maid poking her brain at the courtyard gate, Fang Yingwu caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of her eye, and shouted, "Who is outside?" Come in and talk! ”
The little maid walked in timidly, and the other party saluted: "I've seen the little master." ”
Fang Yingwu glanced at it, but recognized it, this woman should be from the East Courtyard, and her identity was a maid who was married from the Wang family's mother, as if she was called Wang Peony. Moreover, this Wang Peony and Fang Yingshi are a good pair, and Fang Yingwu also helped Fang Yingshi come up with bad ideas at the beginning.
Since he was not an outsider, Fang Yingwu asked with a pleasant face: "What are you doing here?" Brother Ying Shi is not there at the moment. ”
Wang Shaoyao knelt in front of Fang Yingwu with a puff, and begged with tears in his eyes: "Brother Ying Shi is too inauthentic, beg the little master to be the master of the little maid!" ”
Fang Yingwu was very puzzled, "What? He likes the new and hates the old and abandons you? I haven't heard of it. ”
Wang Shaoyao cried: "Before noon today, a friend told the little maid that a bewitching woman came to find Brother Ying Shi, and then Brother Ying Shi went out honestly. ”
Fang Yingwu was stunned for a moment, he hadn't seen him for a few days, he couldn't see that Fang Yingshi had learned this hand, and then patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, when he comes back, I will naturally teach him a hard lesson!" ”
Wang Shaoyao sobbed again and said: "The people who saw it said that the young woman was still holding a three- or two-year-old child, who looked very similar to Brother Ying Shi. ”
Fang Yingshi's kind outside? Fang Yingwu suddenly realized something, and was speechless for a long time. He scratched his head in annoyance, not knowing what to say. In the end, I had to persuade vaguely: "Don't worry about it first, when Brother Ying Shi comes back, I will ask you to understand the matter, and then make the decision for you!" ”
Wang Shaoyao thanked him for his kindness, wiped his tears and withdrew from the courtyard, Fang Yingwu said to Wang Ying: "Don't wait for Brother Yingshi first, you go out with me and go to Liu's Mansion!" ”
In this way, the two walked out of the gate of Fang's house together and headed north towards Liu's mansion, but as soon as they reached the mouth of the alley, they ran into Fang Yingshi head-on.
"Ahh Brother Qiu, did you come out of the prison? Fang Yingshi was pleasantly surprised, and rushed forward to greet him.
Fang Yingwu pressed Fang Yingshi with his hand and asked, "Okay, you Fang Yingshi, I heard that you went out with the young woman?" Where did it go? What did you do? But the peony girl was heartbroken at home, and ran to me crying. ”
Fang Yingshi's face turned bitter, "It's all a misunderstanding, I didn't do anything!" This woman is from the Dongchang Shanggong Mansion, what happened at the beginning, Brother Qiu, you don't know. Today, I just went to the temple with her to offer incense and say something. ”
Sure enough, it turned out that the other half of Fang Yingshi's stallion career three years ago came and Fang Yingwu asked again: "So, that little toddler was born to you back then?" Didn't Shang Gong cut off contact with you, why did that woman dare to come to you today? Aren't you afraid of being beaten to death by Shang Gong! ”
Fang Yingshi's face became more and more bitter, and he sighed: "She was sent by Shang Gong, according to her, Shang Gong offended the West Factory, and she was about to be in trouble." If Shang Gong suffers, the three-year-old little bone and blood can't be saved, only Brother Qiu can save your life, so I beg me to come to Brother Qiu to ask for favors. ”
Damn, this Shang Ming is really a hob meat-like character! Fang Yingwu almost spurted out a mouthful of blood, how could Gonggong Shang have the momentum of the East Factory Admiral's domineering bombardment?
In the morning in the Wenhua Palace, that Shang Ming quietly slipped away in the middle of the court trial, although everyone was strange but didn't take it to heart, but it turned out that they went home and arranged such a bitter love scene!
Yes, Shang Ming is not a civil official who has an unspoken rule of avoiding death by default, he is mixed in a more cruel eunuch circle, if he collapses, he is afraid that his life will not be guaranteed. And once Shang Ming's big tree falls, how long can his godson live?
Fang Yingshi begged: "Brother Qiu, I don't understand the major affairs of the court, and although this little baby's surname is Shang, he can't recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, but his blood is connected, after all, it is my own blood and blood, I can't watch him ignore it." ”
"Got it! I don't care about it, I'll go back and talk to Xichang Wang directly, Rao Shangming this time. But if you don't pack a ticket, I don't know if it works! And the next is not an example! Fang Yingwu waved his hand angrily, Fang Yingshi was his bodyguard and confidant, and he couldn't help him.
And Fang Yingwu is completely convinced, this Shang Gonggong can be alive and round in such a complex political situation as the governor of Dongchang for more than ten years, and he really has a bit of survival wisdom.
He suddenly thought again, could Shang Ming have had this kind of thought from the beginning, and regarded this method as a backup road?
But it doesn't matter, it is better for an old slippery head like Shang Ming to be in charge of Dongchang than to be a ruthless and dangerous person who does things recklessly. After all, no matter what, the Son of Heaven will definitely not let Wang Zhi take charge of the East Factory, and whoever will be the commander of the East Factory will inevitably be Wang Zhi's opponent.
