Chapter 253 Rescue (3)
"Actually, what happened back then was not the result of me alone. Maybe there was some opportunity in the dark so we avoided it."

Shen Ji blinked, "That's it, that's why we don't want to die. We should turn bad luck into good fortune. In the future, I will be more cautious in my words and deeds."

"There's no need to overcorrect, at least I can take care of what you've done in this state capital."

Shen Ji rubbed his nose, "What if I kill someone and set fire to it?"

Wei Ying smiled but did not answer.

Shen Ji was horrified, can this kind of thing survive?It seems that they have really stepped into the privileged class now.However, Wei Ying also said that it is under his command.But there are countless people above him.Didn't Mr. Ma just offend the people above, so the accident happened.So, still have to be careful.

Wei Ying brought up another topic, "I'm going to Rongcheng this month to report to Mr. Liu."

"Really, take me with you." Shen Ji said quickly without waiting for Wei Ying to finish speaking.Shen Ji has always liked to go out, and he hates the life of going out without leaving the house.Recently, in order to take care of her body and avoid those rumors outside, she has reduced going out.Now even Mrs. Wei is not in the mansion, and there is one less person to talk to.If Wei Ying went to Rongcheng, wouldn't it be boring for her to stay alone in Jingai.So as soon as Wei Ying said it, he immediately expressed his desire to follow.

Wei Ying didn't want to take her there, since she would inevitably have to contact Mrs. Liu, and she was the wife of a Shangguan, so Shen Ji could only listen if she said something unpleasant.But seeing her like this, Wei Ying couldn't find a reason to refuse to take her with him.Well, there are some things that can't be hidden just by hiding them.

"Mrs. Liu wanted to marry my niece to me as an ordinary wife, but I declined. I'm afraid she won't give you a good face if you go this time."

Shen Ji was taken aback, "Oh, it turns out that Mrs. Liu has chosen you as your niece and son-in-law. Her niece shouldn't have a good family background, right?" Otherwise, how could he focus on his wife Ping.Besides, she is a flat wife, but she is also a bit shorter than the original wife.Mrs. Liu has a good family background, but the nine sons born to Long are different, and they are probably the daughters of a brother who is not very promising.

"Well, she had a brother who was paralyzed in a fight when he was young. He was married at a low level. Naturally, the children's marriage can only be reduced to a lower level."

Shen Ji scratched his chin. With such a family background, if there is no one to support him, he will be oppressed in the future when he divides the family property.Mrs. Liu is already married, so she can't take too much care of her family's affairs.And it is impossible for a daughter of a wealthy family to marry into such a family.Therefore, it would be nice to have a capable son-in-law.

"I'm afraid this kind of thing can't be avoided. I can't avoid it in the future. Anyway, it's just a matter of etiquette. I don't have to go again if she doesn't welcome me. It's a pity, Mr. Liu valued you very much."

Seeing that she was at least worried about this, Wei Ying smiled and said, "I was afraid that you would worry about gain and loss."

Shen Ji tilted his head to look at Wei Ying, and drew circles on his left chest with his hand, "I have occupied it, who would dare to snatch it? Besides, I am not cured, so why worry about gain and loss. This one, compared to Back then, Shi Shilang's daughter was too far away, and I was afraid of what she would do. If there was a princess princess, I would have to worry about it. I don't want to become a bitter woman, and Chengri's family is worried about that. I usually talk about it all the time, but it’s just beating you.”

Wei Ying chuckled twice, that's true, Shen Ji has always been more confident, how could he be hit like this.Rather, he was overthinking.

"Okay, let's go together. It will take more than a month to go back and forth, and I don't want to be alone. I will definitely remember my wife's beating. I will only be loyal to the emperor and my wife in my life. I am a classic worthy of the test."

"Hmph, stop being so glib."

The state capital is not far from Rongcheng, and it only takes two days by horse-drawn carriage.Because he brought his female relatives with him, Wei Ying didn't go to live in the post house in the city, but booked a small courtyard in the inn.This time, full-time officials from all over Sichuan had to come to report on their performance, so the post house was naturally very crowded.With his official position, although he can be allocated a room, he will inevitably feel aggrieved to live in, so he might as well spend money to stay in an inn.It is also convenient for Shen to send in and out.

A nobleman who had some relationship with them also came to Rongcheng at this time, but he didn't go to stay in the inn and didn't disturb the government office, but lived in the other garden of a Shu official under his door.The person who came was Lan Wang. He came here to Yunnan and Guizhou for disaster relief, and he came to ask a strange man who was once famous all over the world but now lives in seclusion in Rongcheng in the middle of Sichuan to come out of the mountain to help him.This person used to be the military adviser next to King Mu who conquered the barbarians on the battlefield, and he has the reputation of the reincarnated Zhuge.After King Mu was framed by a traitor, he was defeated and committed suicide, and he disappeared.It was only then that the people under King Lan found out about her seclusion and Rongcheng.

When Wei Ying and his party arrived in Rongcheng and settled down, Shen Ji dragged him out for a walk.The inn they stayed in was close to Daci Temple, and they came here to hang out after dinner.The person King Lan was looking for happened to live in Daci Temple.

King Lan was naturally dressed in casual clothes. He stood in front of the window of the meditation room with his hands behind his back and saw a group of people coming in to worship Buddha.I just felt that the young man with a tall figure and a handsome face in front looked familiar, and Master Liu next to him let out a soft "Huh".

King Lan asked, "Who is it?"

"If you come back to the master, it's Wei Ying." Seeing that King Lan was a little dazed, Master Liu added: "It's Tanhua from the previous department, who used to work in the Imperial Academy, and was later relegated to the middle of Sichuan to be the magistrate of Bapin County. From this, I went to the night market to watch the horse dance performance and met this man, but he didn't know how to flatter me and refused my invitation."

King Lan remembered that there was such a person, this kid had threatened him before, quite bold.It's a pity that he was inexperienced as an official, and dared to express his dissatisfaction with the old man who spent huge sums of money to celebrate the birthday of the emperor's grandmother in front of the emperor, so he was relegated to the middle of Shu to be a small official like the county magistrate.This period of time is the time for officials to report on their work and evaluate their performance. Why did he appear in Rongcheng?

"The county magistrate also needs to come to Rongcheng to report on his work?"

"Of course not, but this person has now been promoted to the prefect."

King Lan raised his eyebrows, "The promotion is quite fast. It seems that he was fulfilled by being demoted before. You recommended this person to me before, and you really have some good eyesight." This kind of promotion speed can be regarded as very fast.After a full circle, the current position has actually been promoted to the fifth rank like most people in the same department with smooth official careers.It seems that this person really has some ability and skills.In officialdom, ability alone is not enough, especially with such a speed of promotion, one must have a good relationship with most people in the DPRK and China.

He looked at the woman wearing a gauze hat on the side of Wei Ying. He had an impression of this little girl, who kicked his brother-in-law, quite courageous and insightful.

Mr. Liu showed a bit of color on his face, and then frowned, "But this person is really difficult to win over, and he is quite rebellious in his bones. He was in such a bad situation at the beginning, and he offended the young master, not only did he not ask the prince for help. , dare to threaten the prince."
