I'm not a genius in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 164 Chance
So, how did Yang Cai'er escape from his hands?

As soon as this thought flashed in Wang Zi'an's mind, he fell into a deep sleep.Yang Cai'er next to her looked at Wang Zi'an who was lying beside her in a deep sleep, her eyes were extraordinarily soft.After recovering a bit, he struggled to get up, picked up a towel, wet it with warm water, and wiped the sweat from Wang Zi'an's forehead, very carefully.

……

"Song Ming Mansion, please stay."

While Wang Zi'an was sleeping soundly, Ma Zhou stood at the long pavilion in Fangcheng County, saying goodbye to Song Ke who had been sent out of the city.

"Thank you for your hospitality these two days. When you arrive in the capital, you must remember to come to find Ma, and we will not return when we are not drunk—"

Ma Zhou smiled brightly, and County Magistrate Song also smiled like a spring breeze.It wasn't until Ma Zhou and his party could no longer see their shadows that they turned around and walked back.Ma Zhou, who investigated the burning of the disaster relief granary, finally left, which made many people secretly heave a sigh of relief.Only Song Ke, looking at the backs of these people who had dispersed one after another, had a faint look of worry in his eyes.

This Ma Zhou has won the trust of His Majesty in the past few years, and has been promoted repeatedly. In just a few years, he has become the royal servant of the dynasty. , but when it comes to being an official, how can it be measured simply by grades?

How can such a person be a fool who is greedy for wine and sex, how can he smell the fishy smell but remain indifferent?He felt that he was already sitting on the crater, and he had to do something, otherwise, waiting for himself, or even his entire family, would be a disaster...

"Are we really leaving?"

Xiao Jicheng looked at Ma Zhou, who was on his horse, with a look of doubt flashing across his face.Hearing this, Ma Zhou couldn't help laughing, held up the wine gourd, took a sip, then turned around and laughed.

"if not?"

Xiao Jicheng was taken aback by the question, his face flushed a little.

"Go, go—"

Ma Zhou flicked his sleeves smartly, turned the horse's head to look back at the dozens of officials and guards he was leading, and shouted loudly.

"Brothers, work harder, if you can walk out of the boundary of Fangcheng County before sunset today, I invite everyone to drink!"

The team of dozens of people suddenly burst into cheers.Looking at the direction the team was heading, Ji Cheng couldn't help but frowned, urged the horse to come closer to Ma Zhou, and asked in a low voice.

"My lord, did you get the wrong direction? This doesn't seem to be the direction to Xinye?"

Ma Zhou narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was a little drunk.

"Why do you have to go to Xinye? To investigate the case, naturally you have to follow your feelings. I feel that the benefits are in the west, so naturally you have to go west—"

Xiao Jicheng was fascinated at the time, why was he rushing away with his feelings, did anyone investigate cases like this?

However, Ma Zhou didn't seem to be interested in explaining anymore. He just sat on the horse in front of him, drank fine wine drunk, and sang a ditty in his mouth--well, you are a senior official, you have a reason, Xiao Jicheng pursed his lips helplessly, and urged his horse to keep up with the team.

No one knew that when young Ma Zhou was studying, there was a boy from the same village who joined the army in his early years, and now he has become a lieutenant colonel, and his station happened to be in Qiliping, Neixiang County...

Ma Zhou seemed a little drunk, sitting crookedly on the horseback, looking at the road in the distance, narrowing his eyes slightly, he couldn't help but think of the letter he sent to him earlier this year.

"Government orders are limited to the walls of the city, and officials and servants are all sent to wealthy families..."

The words are full of complaints about the aristocratic family's domination of the local military and government. Over the years, I have watched those children of the aristocratic family make a circle in the local area and gild it, and they will be promoted to the golden rank smoothly. I have to live here, I am afraid I will spend my whole life in the countryside...

"God boy, I'm here this time to give you a fortune, but I don't know if you have the pride and courage of the past, whether you dare to take it..."

Ma Zhou was a little lost in thought, subconsciously raised the wine gourd again, and took a big sip. The spicy taste in his mouth made him more sober and excited. He knew that this was not just a gift he gave to Fa Xiao. Chance, probably also his chance.Looking at the sun that was already setting in the west in the distance, there seemed to be a trace of flame jumping in his eyes.

When he was ordered to investigate the burning of the granary, he knew that things would not be simple, but he never expected that the water seemed to be muddier than he imagined.

that's nice!

He involuntarily raised his head slightly, looking somewhere in Chang'an.If things are done this time, then there should be a place for him, right?
In the past few years, he has miraculously risen in the court. Countless people envy his opportunity and praise his talent. One's birth is determined, and oneself happens to be the most suitable sword.

Now, His Majesty has already made a move, and the rest depends on the value of his sword.

"Goofy, it's up to you whether you can succeed or not."

Ma Zhou picked up the wine gourd, took a sip, and looked into the distance. The sky was high and the clouds were light, the pastures were low, and there was wind, rising from the horizon.

……

Lu's compound.

The newly promoted family talker, Mrs. Wang, hurried to the backyard.Along the way, the maids and servants all avoided their affairs and bowed on both sides of the road to salute. Even the smelly and tough old guys from the family they encountered halfway showed a somewhat flattering expression.In the past, Mrs. Wang was the most useful, but today she didn't care about it because her only precious son suddenly fell ill.

Wang is the wife of Lu Yanjiefa. After more than ten years of marriage, she has given birth to six daughters and one son. The youngest son is just five years old.On weekdays, she took great care of her, lest she might make a mistake, but today she suddenly fainted...

"Doctor Li, what's wrong with my son?"

Looking at Dr. Li who was frowning and gently putting his son's wrist back on the bedding, Wang's heart hung in his throat.

"Before your son fell ill, was there any omen?"

Dr. Li is the incumbent doctor of Huichun Hall in Fangcheng County. He has excellent medical skills and is the most famous doctor in several nearby counties. He is especially good at pediatrics. However, at this time, he did not answer Wang's words directly, but frowned. , looked up and asked.Mrs. Wang directly looked at the maids who were in charge of taking care of her son. She had been taking care of her son herself. Before she left the yard this afternoon, her son was fine. Why did she faint after half an hour?
