Chapter 21 Two Young People
Wang Ji looked at the three people in front of him and remembered that he did not value them very much. Instead, he relied on those who were vicious and good at flattering. He couldn't help but sigh.
He personally stepped forward to help the three of them up and sighed: "You can only see loyalty in times of adversity. I have so many disciples under my command, but I didn't expect that in the end, only you and three others were left!"
One of the disciples advised: "The situation is over now. Why don't the Prime Minister take advantage of the Sili School Captain before he arrived and hang his seal and hide it first to wait for the change of the current situation?"
I have to say that this accountant’s suggestion makes some sense.
According to Yang Qiu's methods of treating the rest of Wang Fu's clans and accomplices, if Wang Ji really waits until the other party arrives in Peiguo, he will definitely not have a good ending.
Instead of sitting there waiting for death, it is better to leave as soon as possible and keep a useful body to wait for the future.
Wang Ji only thought for a moment, then smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "The one I rely on is my father. We have made too many enemies in recent years. If my father falls, the Wang family will suffer crazy revenge. How can I keep it alone?"
"If I leave with my seal at this time, it will make people think that I am escaping for fear of the crime, which will be very unfavorable to my father's future trial."
"I originally issued water conscience donations against my conscience, in order to plunder money and hand them over to the emperor as soon as possible. I never thought that the situation changed too quickly, and the water conservancy donations had not been truly implemented, and my father was already imprisoned."
"Now I can only hope for the rest of the court. They share the interests of their fathers and will not sit idly by and watch Yangqiu deal with his father unscrupulously."
Speaking of this, Wang Ji looked a little excited and said to the three of them: "Now the country's taxes are small, and the emperor's treasury is empty. Your Majesty also needs to rely on all the attendants to enrich the inner treasury and control the aristocratic families, and will not break their own hands and feet."
"Since then, you all have been confidants of your true sects."
"After my father escaped from trouble, I will write to my father and reward you very much!"
The three of them had no big changes when they heard this. Compared to those servants who escaped in the face of disaster, the three of them were quite loyal and righteous. They followed Wang Ji not for power or money, but for repaying the kindness of knowing their grace.
It is good to be able to make a fortune, even if they get nothing, they are willing to protect Wang Ji for the sake of loyalty and righteousness.
Even so, the three of them thanked each other in unison.
Suddenly another guest spoke, "Now there are thieves who dare to shoot the Prime Minister in broad daylight and openly shoot the Prime Minister in front of everyone. They may not dare to attack the Prime Minister, but they also ask the Prime Minister to plan as soon as possible."
The other man nodded and said, "There were many visitors in the mansion before, but he was not afraid of assassins. Now that most of them have dispersed, the Prime Minister's Mansion is empty and he may be attacked by thieves. He has to be guarded. He also asked the Prime Minister to order Lieutenant Liu to send county soldiers to protect the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Wang Ji shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Lieutenant Liu knew that his father had lost power in the court and had deliberately alienated me. Even if the disciples were shot in public, they would not send people to investigate in detail. How could he send troops to protect the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
The first guest spoke, said, "Since that's the case, the Prime Minister can hide it quietly in the rest of the mansions to avoid the thieves."
Wang Ji hesitated when he heard this.
He was a 2,000-stone official and was rampant in Peiguo for four years. Now he has to hide like a mouse if he doesn't see a thief. Wouldn't it be funny?
Just as Wang Ji was hesitating, a loud laugh suddenly came.
Wang Ji looked up and found that the person who laughed loudly was one of the three guests. This man was short and dark, and he was not valued by Wang Ji.
Suddenly seeing the guest laughing, Wang Ji asked strangely: "Why do you laugh?"
The short-sized guest stroked his beard and said, "I laugh at you for being worried about everything!"
The first guest asked back, "Why did you say this?"
The short servant replied: "The incident of Sili's lieutenant coming to Pei State has been rumored to be circulating. The reason why the assassin dares to attack the minister of the country is precisely because of this. The minister of the country has lost power for the time being. Although the assassin can kill the disciples to vent his anger, he does not dare to act as a 2,000-stone important minister."
"And in the eyes of all the thieves, the Sili School Commander Yang Qiu will definitely deal with the Prime Minister. At this time, it will be more than worth the loss to assassinate the Prime Minister of the Nationality if he is in trouble."
"What the killer in the restaurant said before he escaped can also be evidence."
"Therefore, in my opinion, the prime minister should not worry about the assassin's attack. The most important thing at the moment is how to deal with the Sili School Magistrate Yang Qiu."
When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized.
“What a keen insight!”
Even Wang Ji treated this unpretentious servant with admiration, and thought that after he had survived this disaster, he would reuse this servant who had been almost ignored by him before.
At the north gate of Xiangxian County, two people came on horseback.
The head is seven feet long, with thin eyes and long beard, short and short, with a round face, big eyes and short beard, which looks a bit funny. However, he is wearing a brocade robe and a few small gems are inlaid on the hilt of the sword hanging on his waist. Just looking at his clothes, you can tell that he is either rich or noble.
The other rider is more than eight feet long, with a sharp blade hanging on his waist, a strong face, a cold temperament, and is truly heroic.
When the people in the city saw the two of them riding on horseback, they were all dressed in extraordinary clothes, they immediately avoided them.
"Well!"
The two of them rode on horseback and stopped at the door of the restaurant and found that there was no customer inside. Only the shopkeeper and the clerk were wiping the floor over and over again.
The seven-foot young man turned over and got off the horse. Seeing this, the guy hurriedly came out, took the reins with a smile on his face, and said, "Great man, please come into the store."
The Qifoot young man did not speak and strode into the restaurant. Instead, the eight-foot young man shouted: "Take good care of the horse, money is indispensable!"
The guy nodded repeatedly, and he didn't dare to offend the two of them at all.
The Qifen young man walked into the restaurant, looked around and asked the shopkeeper, "Xiangxian County is the capital of Pei State, and this restaurant is also in a prosperous area, why is there no one?"
The shopkeeper suddenly looked bitter when he heard this, and hesitated and dared not say much.
Seeing this, the eight-foot young man stepped forward and slapped the table a few times, shouting sternly: "Brother, why don't you answer?"
Seeing this, the shopkeeper said in a trembling voice: "To be honest, the shop is usually full of guests. However, today, an assassin held a strong bow and shot and killed the guests of the Prime Minister's Mansion in public in the restaurant. All the guests dispersed and no one dared to come to drink."
"oh?"
When the seven-foot young man heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly, threw a hanging of money at the shopkeeper, and said with interest: "You should tell me all the major events that have happened in the city recently, and promised to give me another reward!"
The shopkeeper was overjoyed when he looked at the Wuzhu coins in his hand, but soon hesitated again on his face.
He turned his head to look at the 8-foot man with a strong figure and a bad face. He thought that the two of them were not only dressed in extraordinary clothes, but also rode on horseback. He immediately ran to the door and quietly closed the door of the restaurant. Then he whispered in detail what had happened in the city in recent days.
