Although Xiang Chengxian has a carefree temper, he is not an ignorant person. He knew that Fang Yingwu would have a lot of chores just after he was released from prison, so he did not sit there for too long. After a brief conversation, he stood up and left, and agreed to go out and wash away the dust tomorrow.
After seeing Mr. Xiang off, Fang Yingwu paced back and forth in the house for a few times, thinking carefully about his current situation, and silently sorted out his three mountains.
As for the position of Wanping County Magistrate, I have no control over it now. I have to get it or not, and I have no choice.
Although the magistrate of Jingxian County has a higher level of authority than other magistrates, he is still a people-friendly official after all. He mainly deals with substantive affairs, and most of the people he deals with on a daily basis are low-level people, such as traffickers and lackeys and wealthy family slaves.
Under such circumstances, the reputation of one's own Qingliu is probably not of much use. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is an embroidered pillow, but the actual use is really uncertain. Who cares about the Qingliu of those little people?
As for Wang Zhi, although they have jointly produced several articles this time, they have also developed a relatively deep friendship, and in terms of relationship, they can ask her to do something.
But the problem is that this time I have been suspected of colluding with Wang Zhi. Fortunately, I am whimsical and eloquent, and I can smooth things over pretty well. In the future, I still need to pay attention to the impact of this aspect.
If someone notices that he has close contact with Wang Zhi, it will damage the reputation he has worked so hard to build. This kind of weapon should not be used lightly. Besides, with the style of Wang Zhi and Xichang, I am afraid it will only cause damage.
, asking them to cause bad things may happen, but it is not enough to make things happen.
Moreover, how to bring Mrs. Sun, who is now Mrs. Sun Gaoming, into the house early? It is also a worry. Don’t let people who want to eat Mrs. Gaoming’s swan meat get there first. When it was mentioned a few times, Wang Zhi just looked at the left and right.
He was very helpless.
So to sum up, among the so-called three mountains, the most useful one at present and in the future is Lao Taishan in the future. Thinking of this, Fang Yingwu suddenly thought of another person, and that was his exam master Li Dongyang.
Although Teacher Li is known as a Chaling native of Huguang, three generations of his ancestors and grandsons have lived in the capital. He doesn’t know whether he has been to Chaling himself, but he said that the imperial examinations were also taken in the capital. From this point of view, Teacher Li is considered a local
They are truly natives of the capital city.
The Li residence opened its doors every day to entertain guests. Based on this analysis, Fang Yingwu concluded that Mr. Li must be very wild in this three-thirds of an acre of land in the capital... Since he wants to be the magistrate of the capital, he has free time.
It’s time to go see Teacher Li and take a walk around. If you don’t make sure everything is in order, it will be useful in the future.
Looking at the sun, it was already late in the afternoon. Fang Yingwu felt that time was tight, so he planned to go out to visit Liu's house. Presumably, Liu Mianhua had returned home long ago. Unlike his father, who basically pressed the button carefully and rigidly every day. Commute to and from get off work at set times.
I visited my house on the day I was released from prison. This made me appear to be attentive and kind. In addition, the wedding date was approaching and I had to see what I needed to prepare.
As soon as he thought of it, he did it. Fang Yingwu immediately went out of the house to greet his entourage. It can be said that he had two long-term entourage. One was Lan Jie'er's brother Wang Ying. The other was his clan brother Fang Yingshi. At this time, he only saw Wang Ying standing there.
At the foot of the steps, he lowered his hands and waited for instructions, but Fang Yingshi disappeared.
Wang Ying asked with concern: "Brother Qiu is going out? He just came home from Tianlao today. Will it be too hard to go out again now?"
Fang Yingwu stretched his body and replied: "I feel so idle all day and night in prison! It's time to move around more after I get out! Where did Brother Ying Shi go?"
While he was talking, he saw an upright-looking little maid poking her head at the courtyard door. Fang Yingwu caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye and shouted: "Who is outside? Come in and talk!"
The little maid walked in timidly, and the other party bowed and said, "I have met the young master."
Fang Yingwu looked at it and recognized it. This girl should be from the east courtyard. She was a maid from the Wang family who was married off to her mother. She seemed to be called Wang Shaoyao. Moreover, Wang Shaoyao and Fang Yingshi were in love. Fang Yingwu also helped Fang Yingshi come up with bad ideas at the beginning.
Since he was not an outsider, Fang Yingwu asked kindly: "What are you doing here? Brother Yingshi is not here right now."
Wang Shaoyao knelt down in front of Fang Yingwu and begged with tears in his eyes: "Brother Ying Shi is so unreasonable, please make the decision for me!"
Fang Yingwu was very puzzled, "What? He abandoned you because he liked the new and disliked the old? I didn't hear about it."
Wang Shaoyao cried and said: "Before noon today, a friend told the maid that a charming woman came to see Brother Ying Shi, and then Brother Ying Shi followed her out honestly."
Fang Yingwu was stunned for a moment. He hadn't seen him for several days and couldn't tell that Fang Yingshi had learned this trick... Then he patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, when he comes back, I will naturally teach him a lesson!"
Wang Shaoyao sobbed again and said: "People who saw it said that the young woman was holding a three- or two-year-old child, who looked very similar to Ying Shi's brother. She was probably Ying Shi's father outside... My little maid was devoted to him, but now I don’t know what to do.”
Is Fang Yingshi planting outside? Fang Yingwu suddenly realized something and was speechless for a long time. He scratched his head in distress, not knowing what to say. In the end, he could only vaguely advise: "Don't be anxious now, wait until Brother Yingshi comes back." Finally, I will ask you to understand the matter and then make the decision for you!"
Wang Shaoyao thanked him profusely and left the courtyard with tears in his eyes. Fang Yingwu said to Wang Ying: "I won't wait for you, brother Yingshi. Follow me out to the Liu Mansion!"
In this way, the two of them walked out of the gate of Fang's house and headed north towards Liu's mansion. However, as soon as they reached the entrance of the alley, they met Fang Yingshi head-on.
"Ah! Brother Qiu, have you come out of the prison?" Fang Yingshi was so surprised that he rushed forward to greet him.
Fang Yingwu conveniently held Fang Yingshi down and asked: "Hey Fang Yingshi, I heard that you went out with the young woman? Where did you go? What did you do? But Miss Shaoyao was heartbroken at home and ran to me. Crying and crying in front of me."
Fang Yingshi's face turned bitter, "It's all a misunderstanding, I didn't do anything! This woman is from Dongchang Shanggong's house. It's not like you don't know what happened back then. Brother Qiu, you just followed her to the temple today." I burned incense and said some words."
Sure enough, it turned out that it was the other half of Fang Yingshi's stallion career three years ago... Fang Yingwu asked again: "So, that little child was your biological child back then? Didn't Shang Gong break up with him?" What about your dealings? Why did that woman dare to come looking for 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 Xichang and was about to be in disaster. If Shang Gong suffered a disaster, the three-year-old little boy would not be able to survive. Brother Qiu, you can save lives, so I beg me to come to Brother Qiu to ask for your favor."
Damn it, this Shang Ming is really a man who looks like a knife! Fang Yingwu almost spat out a mouthful of blood. How can Eunuch Shang have the arrogant and domineering aura that the admiral of Dongchang should have?
In the Wenhua Hall in the morning, Shang Ming quietly left the court in the middle of the trial. Although everyone was surprised, they didn't take it to heart, but it turns out that such a painful drama was arranged when he returned home!
Yes, Shang Ming is not a civil servant who has a hidden rule of avoiding death by default. He is in a more cruel circle of eunuchs. If he collapses, he is afraid that his life will not be saved. And if Shang Ming's big tree falls, he will
How long can your godson live?
Fang Yingshi begged: "Brother Qiu, I don't understand the important affairs of the imperial court. Although this little boy's surname is Shang and he cannot recognize his ancestors, he is connected by blood. After all, he is my biological flesh and blood. I can't watch him ignore him.
"
"Got it! I won't care about it anymore. I'll talk to Wang Zhi of Xichang later about Rao Shangming this time. But I can't guarantee it. I don't know if it will work or not! And I won't do it next time!" Fang Yingwu waved his hand grumpily. Fang Yingshi was
He is his bodyguard and confidant, so he has no choice but to help him.
And Fang Yingwu was completely convinced. Eunuch Shang was able to lively and active in such a complicated political situation and serve as the admiral of the East Factory for more than ten years. He indeed had some survival wisdom.
He suddenly thought again, could it be that Shang Ming had this intention from the beginning and regarded this method as a fallback preparation?
But it doesn’t matter. It’s better to let an old cunning guy like Shang Ming take charge of the Dongchang than to reintroduce a sinister and sinister person who does things regardless of the consequences. After all, no matter what, the emperor will definitely not let Wang Zhi take charge of the Dongchang.
Whoever becomes the admiral of the East Factory will definitely be Wang Zhi's enemy.
