Chapter 37: The Undercurrent (Part II)

Wenyang Mansion, located in the south of Shudi, has seven counties under its jurisdiction, and now there are only five counties: Kaiming, Xingshan, Donglan, Zhengding, and Jishui.

The total number of households is less than 15,000, and according to the original imperial court division regulations, it is a small county.

At this time, Li Xian was also setting off and rushed to five miles from the city gate, accompanied by fifty heavily armed soldiers, and even sent the prefect Li Gang to show his grandeur.

"My lord, are we greeting Captain Wang?" a team member couldn't help but ask.

"This is the order of the commander, you and I obey it. Li Xian said impatiently: "Don't ask more." ”

This time he was really busy, and he had to deal with the affairs of the house, and he had to prepare for the ceremony, and now he was welcoming Wang Shoutian, and he was going again.

However, being able to get closer to this Wang Shoutian is also an opportunity that others can't ask for.

He thought about it carefully, and felt that although this trip was hard, it was not without any benefits.

When I think about it this way, I gradually feel better.

Li Gangnian is about thirty years old, he is Li Xian's uncle, tall and thin, wearing the official robe of the prefect, and his eyes fall in the distance.

At the end of June, two rivers cross Wenyang Province, gurgling through, irrigating the fertile fields on both sides of the river, forming a large fertile plain, where the climate is mild, the soil is fertile, and the products are abundant.

The fields are patchy, and the ground between the fields is covered with pasture.

Li Xian said: "Look at the hour, it should have arrived." ”

Li Gang showed a hint of a smile and said lightly: "The handsome entrusted this son, this son must be extraordinary, it doesn't hurt if we wait a little longer." ”

However, before these words fell, I saw dust faintly floating on the official road in the distance, and after a while, I could see more than ten horsemen slowly walking towards this side.

"Xiaguan Jishui County Commander Wang Shoutian, I've seen an adult!" a young man turned over from the horse and saluted first.

Wang Shoutian is from the seventh grade, this person is the fifth grade, and he should salute, of course, if Wang Shoutian officially becomes the heir, then even if Li Gang's official position is high, he must salute Wang Shoutian in turn.

"You are Lord Wang Shoutian, what a young man!" Li Gang smiled and hurriedly helped him up: "Don't dare to give such a big gift, don't dare to give such a big gift." ”

Wang Shoutian and Li Xian bowed to each other and met separately.

Li Gang looked carefully, and saw that Wang Shoutian was dressed in a county official uniform, and he looked a little tired because he came from a distance, but between his eyebrows, he was heroic and compelling, and he was indeed a young talent.

Wang Shoutian also looked at it, this saw that this person was condensed with cloud qi on the top, originally according to his official position, it should be five grades, it was a rich golden gas, but now it seems that it is a gathering of red gas, only the yellow gas is born, obviously his real authority pattern, only from six to six grades.

remembered that Dashuai was like this a year ago, but there was more yellow energy, so I thought about it.

After saluting each other, Li Xian stepped forward with a smile on his face, and said very politely: "Lord Wang, this time, in the name of the marshal, the lower official will tell the adults about the news......

After a pause, seeing that this was not the place to speak, he said, "Let's go to the car and talk about it!"

“...... Okay, please. Even in his previous life, Li Xian had never been so cautious about himself, so Wang Shoutian immediately confirmed this possibility.

The group got into the second carriage, and after only a moment's work, many thoughts flashed through their hearts, but this cart was an open-top carriage, and they could see the scene outside.

Li Xian was in the car and first saluted respectfully.

"Master Li, what are you ......" Wang Shoutian hurriedly turned sideways slightly, not fully accepting the other party's salute, he understood in his heart, but he asked.

"Lord Wang, this time the marshal urgently summoned you to make you his heir, so he sent Governor Li to greet you...... When you arrive at the house, you immediately see a handsome man. ”

Subsequently, he told Wang Shoutian about this in detail.

Although it was expected a long time ago, in this life, this incident still surprised Wang Shoutian.

Wang Shoutian only froze for a moment, then asked about Wang Zunzhi's body, but he didn't mention it anymore.

From what happened, Li Xian secretly observed the other party's reaction, but saw that the other party was only happy for a moment, and his face recovered, secretly surprised.

He didn't know about Wang Shoutian's previous life and this life, but he said that this son was really calm and had the style of a general.

"Lord Wang, this matter has been announced to the generals, it is best for you to rest in the mansion these days, so as not to go out and have troubles, which will affect the ceremony after the second day. Li Xian couldn't help but remind.

Wang Shoutian is very grateful for his reminder, Li Xian invested in Li Chengye in his previous life, and Wang Shoutian has always had some guilt in his heart.

But now it seems that in their previous lives, they just chose good trees to live in.

Now that he is doing it again, his situation has improved greatly compared to his previous life, and this person may not vote for the Li family again.

So, thanking him and saying, "Thanks for the reminder, it should be like this." ”

The brigade drove out and passed on the long street, and the sound of horses' hooves and wheels grinding attracted everyone's attention and discussions.

"Isn't this Lord Governor Li?"

"Who are those two?"

"This is Lord Li Xian, the person next to the handsome. ”

"And another?"

“...... I know, this is Wang Shoutian Wang Zhixian, last time he beheaded Chen Xiang, and a few days ago he beheaded Lu Ji and captured Taisu County. ”

"Hey, that's amazing. ”

A group of fifty people slowly drove into the road facing the Jiedu Embassy, and there were discussions from time to time along the way, and some people watched intently in some restaurants.

At this time, Wenyang Mansion looked peaceful and calm on the surface.

Inside, there are dark waves.

Meditation Nunnery in the city

"Dang!" melodious bells, from the nunnery, this meditation nunnery was originally a small temple, with the support of Mrs. Jiedu for 20 years, now there are dozens of houses, there are five halls, covering an area of 30 acres.

The sound of chanting in Sanskrit came melodiously and spread throughout the temple.

At the entrance and exit of the stone steps of the platform, there are monks guarding it.

In a large hall, a large incense burner is placed in front of the Buddhist shrine, and the burning incense wood exudes a slight fragrance, which permeates the entire space.

A noble lady is kneeling in front of the Buddha and chanting.

At this time, an old woman hurried in from outside, and when she saw the noblewoman, she hurriedly walked over.

"How's the matter going?" asked the lady in a low voice, seeing the old woman approaching.

The old woman hurriedly bent down and whispered a few words in her ear.

"Wang Zunzhi dares to do this!" After listening to what the old woman said, anger suddenly appeared on the noblewoman's face, and her whole body trembled, and after a while, she finally calmed down.

With a sneer on his face, he said to himself: "Wang Zunzhi, you are so ruthless, you really want to accept an outsider to inherit the great family's business, and the relationship between husband and wife for 20 years is not as good as an outsider." Since you have been ruthless to this point, don't blame me for being ruthless and unjust. Sister-in-law Lan, order those people to act tonight. ”

"No. The old woman hung her head and whispered.

When the old woman had gone out, the noblewoman began to chant again, and her expression was much more relaxed, as if she had made up her mind.

And the old woman, when she came out of the nunnery, went straight into the city.

But as soon as he was halfway there, he was stopped by someone.

"I'm Mrs. Dashuai's nurse, who dares to stop me!" Seeing that it was a team of fully armored soldiers, the old woman suddenly trembled, and directly moved out of Mrs. to press the other party.

Not wanting the other party to flash to the side, a young man walked up to her and said lightly: "The handsome man is invited." ”

This man, the old woman naturally recognized, was Li Xian, who was the most favored and trusted before the big handsome drove, and when he saw him here, the governor was exposed, and he immediately collapsed to the ground.

Li Xianchao waved his hand to the left and right, and immediately two soldiers stepped forward, set her up, and stuffed her into a carriage prepared in advance.

The group quickly withdrew.

Half a day later, a document was placed in front of Wang Zunzhi's case.

Wang Zunzhi looked at it carefully, and a self-deprecating wry smile appeared on his face.

"My lord, these people have confessed, you see ......"

"Get rid of all the people she entraps, and you don't have to worry about her. At this time, Wang Zunzhi said calmly, with a tone of indifference that looked at everything.

"No. Li Xian didn't dare to ask more questions and retreated.

After everyone went out, Wang Zunzhi picked up the secret report and couldn't help coughing, which kept getting worse until the handkerchief was full of blood.

"Died violently? A husband and wife for life, why did they have to come to this point?" After coughing, Wang Zunzhi seemed to have coughed up the last trace of strength, and only a wry smile appeared on his face.

I thought that this lady was just arrogant, but I really didn't expect that she really wanted to do it, and wanted Wang Zunzhi to die violently.

This big position is inherited from Madame's father, and she is the mistress of the house, and Madame naturally has a few people under her who dare to die.

These medicines are not poisonous, but with Wang Zunzhi's body now, it is likely that he will die violently overnight.

If it really succeeds, Mo said that this inheritance will be affected, that is, all the generals and the Li family in this town will immediately take action, and the whole town will fall apart.

After such an eventful season, this woman is actually vicious, she thinks that she can still control the situation twenty years ago?

I'm afraid that she will die and have no place to be buried.

originally had the intention to abolish her, but after all, it was a husband and wife, and he lost his three sons, plus his father had the grace of knowing and promoting him, thinking about it, Wang Zunzhi finally endured it.

But this incident also made him finally empty, and there was nothing to hold on to.

"Come on, call Qian Wuniang!"

A moment later, a middle-aged woman came and saluted.

"After the second day, the town held an heir ceremony, I don't want my wife to be overjoyed, I had a stroke, and I passed away, it's a pity, the town is very sad, and I arranged a joint funeral ceremony. Speaking of this, Wang Zunzhi coughed again: "...... Do you understand my words?"

Qian Wuniang's body trembled slightly, her face was pale, and she was stunned for a moment, she finally kowtowed and said, "Understood...... Please also ask an adult to take care of my child. ”

"Don't worry, your husband and children have rewards, go down!" Wang Zunzhi looked helpless and waved his hand tiredly.
