A Timely Wife

The magistrate originally thought that Young Master Wan should have arrived in the capital long ago, and that he had already participated in the rural examination in the capital, and he might have achieved good results, but he did not expect that Young Master Wan had never been to the capital at all. More than 20 people have all disappeared, neither went to the capital nor returned to Qingjiang Mansion, the magistrate was worried but also a little terrified, it has been more than a month since Master Wan and his party set off for the capital and received the letter from the capital today, There is no news at all for more than a month, and it can only explain one thing, the more than 20 people are probably in danger.

"My lord, may I circulate the letter from Jingzhong?" The staff also knew that the matter was of great importance, and the goatee asked for the letter first.

The prefect didn't say a word, just waved his hand to let them read by themselves. The letter was placed on his desk. The staff also knew the habit of the prefect, so they took the letter by themselves. The goatee read it first, and his eyes couldn't hide it. surprised.

"My lord, this, this, this is wrong. If I remember correctly, Young Master Wan set off ten days earlier. According to the itinerary, the slowest should arrive in the capital on the third day. But from the letter, It seems that Master Wan has never arrived, including the letter you wrote. My lord, this matter must be thoroughly investigated. It is estimated that someone from Jingzhong will come here soon. Before that, we must give them a satisfactory answer. answer, otherwise..." Goatee didn't finish his sentence, but the magistrate understood what he didn't finish, otherwise none of the people present would survive.

"The most troublesome thing for me now is this answer, how to answer, how to answer, not to mention that you guys don't know all the things, even the old man is at a loss. Information about water bandits, then, where did the people on this boat go, and where could they go? Could it be that these people disappeared inexplicably? If people disappeared, then what about the boat? Where did the boat go? Such a big A ship cannot grow wings and fly with people.

"My lord, according to my villain's opinion, we can't wait for news all the time. We have to send people to investigate along the way. Someone can always see such a big boat, especially those villages along the river. They can find out some things. The news is coming." Goatee said.

The magistrate walked around the spot twice, and said, "Okay, let's do it this way, this matter must be found out, otherwise we may meet at the execution ground in the future."

In the afternoon of that day, the east gate of Qingjiang Mansion opened wide, and a group of people left in a hurry. Five days later, several adults came from the capital. Ten days later, the prefect of Qingjiang Mansion was dismissed and escorted to Beijing. None of the nine tribes were spared. All were escorted back to the capital, and within half a month after entering Beijing, they were sentenced to exile for a thousand miles.

Li Ruosong didn't know anything about the affairs in Fucheng, and also because of the disappearance of Master Wan, the poetry meeting that would be held after the previous imperial examinations was cancelled, and He Dashao, who couldn't find anyone, hadn't had time to ask Li to be tracked down. Where Ruosong and the others lived, they were notified that his brother-in-law had been missing for more than a month, and his sister had been divorced and returned because she had no children.

Young Master He smashed things all over the house angrily, just like that, still unable to let go of his anger, Young Master He ran aggressively to his sister's yard with his men and made a big fuss.

"You are such a useless thing. You have been married to Wan's family for so many years, but you haven't even given birth to a child. If you have a child, now our family in Qingjiang Mansion can walk sideways if you want. The result, look , you still have the face to come back, if I were you, I would crash my head to death in Wan's family, at least I can win back for my mother's family, what can a woman who has been divorced do, is it possible that you still expect your family to support you? In my opinion, instead of crying at home all day long, you might as well beg Master Wan and Mrs. Wan. Maybe they will pity you and give you a way to survive. A hen that doesn’t lay eggs is really useless and wasted. The training of the He family in the past year." After finishing the phone call, the young master Balala turned his head and left his sister's room regardless of the expression on his sister's face.

Young Master He came here today just to vent the anger in his heart. It is not wrong to say that he really looked down on this sister. After all, he had a good relationship with his sister when he was young, and he was the only sister. The younger brother of her first relative will be her only support in her natal family in the future, and naturally she will not treat Young Master He badly. Any rare things she gets on weekdays are sent to Young Master He immediately. Young Master He naturally understands that his sister The Wan family has never been a good family to get along with, especially the young master Wan is just a fool, but no one in Qingjiang Mansion dares to speak out.

But Young Master He was humiliated in public before the imperial examination. He wanted to beat up this group of people to vent his anger, but he didn't expect that he would return home before the examination was over. What kind of good grades can you get by handing in the papers in advance, but they slapped him in the face again. Ci Enke has more than 700 talents, but there are only [-] Juren. How could they have such good luck.

Afterwards, Young Master Wan actually disappeared and could not be found. There was no one alive or dead. Young Master Wan had always been the backer of Young Master He's rampant behavior in Qingjiang Mansion. His heart was angry without his backer. His older sister was divorced again, and nothing made him feel at ease. He couldn't find Li Ruosong, and he didn't dare to look for the magistrate, so he could only get angry at his sister.

It's just that, after all, Young Master He is just a spoiled young master, and when encountering such a thing, he just wanted to enjoy it for a while. He never thought about how his sister would deal with herself after he said so, and that Young Master He left his sister In the courtyard, his sister ended her life with a white silk on her back foot. After learning that his sister had hanged herself, Master He was frightened and panicked. He suffered a serious illness and had a high fever. , but because of the long-term fever, his brain was burned out, and he also became a fool. This is all for later.

During the half a month of turmoil in the Qingjiang Mansion, Li Ruosong only had one headache. This time, Enke didn't know what the emperor was thinking about. It was placed in August of this year, directly changing from Chun Wei to Qiu Wei. If the test is held in the capital in August, Li Ruosong will go to the capital in May at the latest. According to their pace, even if they go fast It will take more than 20 days. When I arrive in Beijing in June, I have to find a place to live, and then I have to study, get familiar with the route, and participate in the poetry meeting of my classmates. No matter how I think about it, I feel that the time is too tight. What makes Li Ruosong even more difficult is this time. Find out who he is taking.

Zhou Jinyan definitely can't go. As Prime Minister Zhou's favorite grandson, Zhou Jinyan's appearance has long been made public in the capital. Many people know Zhou Jinyan, and Li Ruoshan can't go either. Last year Li Ruoshan only looked like Li Youlan looks a bit like an emperor this year, and his appearance is about [-]% like that of an emperor. If any courtier sees it, he will cause a lot of trouble, and no matter whether it is Zhou Jinyan or Li Ruoshan, they are still wanted. The subject, according to the character of Concubine Wan Gui described by Steward Zhang, is the kind of ruthless person who would rather kill ten thousand by mistake than miss one. Once these two children enter Beijing, it will definitely be a disaster.

If the two younger ones don't go, it's definitely not good for Li Ruosong to go alone. After all, there are too many things to take care of, but it doesn't look good with only two long-term companions. After all, there are many details of life in the long-term follow-up It's not in place, it's better for Chengdong to follow Li Ruosong, Chengdong himself doesn't care, he thinks it's fine if he can go to the capital, let him go, he will go to see and see, don't let him go, he Just study the unmade grenade at home and tease the two sons. Not to mention, Chengdong is willing to let Li Ruosong go but not the two children. For him, the children are much more interesting than Li Ruosong.

Li Ruosong is not worried about other things, he is worried about the unrest in the capital, in case there is something unexpected, such as their identities being exposed, or something else, if he is the only one in the capital and can escape Naturally, it would be better, and he wouldn't have any worries if he couldn't escape, but if Cheng Dong also passed by, he wasn't sure he could protect Cheng Dong.

Li Ruosong did not hide these thoughts from Chengdong. He remembered that Chengdong told him that the most taboo thing for two people to live is that one of them messes up everything by himself under the banner of being good for the other. Not good, but it’s okay if there is no problem. Once there is a problem, the other person will fall into a very embarrassing situation, and it is not conducive to the communication between the two people, and it will even affect the relationship between the two people. Just because Chengdong said these words before, Li Ruosong remembered them in his heart and agreed with them, so he told Chengdong exactly what he thought.

After Cheng Dong thought about it for a long time, he decided to accompany Li Ruosong to Beijing for the exam. Li Ruosong saw that Cheng Dong had made up his mind, so he stopped talking and started preparing the luggage he was going to bring to Beijing this time. There are not many people there, Li Ruosong and Chengdong, two brothers Wang Ziqing and Wang Zize, there is no one else, and there is Liu Chengliu in the capital to help, so there is no need to worry too much.

The four big men had little luggage, so they packed it up quickly. After explaining what they were busy with, the four of them left Liujiagou in two carriages on a sunny day.
