His Majesty Meow Raises Fish [Rebirth]
Chapter 22
The Seventh Prince and his party soon returned to the county mansion of Mengliang County.
Mengliang was once the fief of an uncle of the former emperor, but the county king of this generation died. According to the ancestral system of Qingzhou, the clan can take back the fief if the descendant has no soul. In addition, Mengliang is not a border, and there is no general's mansion. , so the county is now dominated by the prefect.
Before Qi Jing entered the city, Zhuang Jin greeted him at the city gate, and he didn't know if he had already got the news, or if he had planned to be courteous for a long time.
The prefect of Mengliang is a member of the third rank, the highest officer of a county, in addition to governing the people, advancing the virtuous, adjudicating lawsuits, and prosecuting traitors, he can also appoint and remove his subordinates at his own discretion. For the king and the prince without a consul, there is no comparison.
Zhuang Jinshi was born as a Jinshi in two rankings. He used to be an official in the capital. He was transferred to Mengliang four years ago.
The official road outside the city and the inside of the city were obviously cleared. Zhuang Jinshi estimated that he did not expect that there would be children walking through the woods and waiting beside the official road a little further away.
Qi Jing accepted Zhuang Jinshi's gift, and said: "Your Majesty, you are being polite, today I am just passing through the Mengliang County Mansion, and I will continue on my way after a short rest."
When they arrived in Mengliang, it was only Shenshi, so they didn't have to wait for the night in Mengliang County Mansion, but they could continue westward and settle down in the next city later.
This was the original plan, Zhuang Jinshi felt relieved when he heard the words, and immediately bowed and said: "Your Highness has worked hard."
If the plan is not changed, it means that the Seventh Prince does not intend to stay in the Mengliang County Mansion. If he does not stay, how can he find out the news?
It seems that the Seventh Prince doesn't intend to meddle in Meng Liang's business.
Although he was relieved, he still asked people to find out the whereabouts of those children, and here they enthusiastically cleaned up the dust for the Seventh Prince and Sixteen Guards.
It wasn't until the Seventh Prince was about to leave that Zhuang Jinshi tentatively said: "The lower official heard that someone blocked His Highness's carriage on the official road, and it is really the responsibility of the lower official's ineffective governance."
The Seventh Prince said nonchalantly: "Gu has already been interrogated, but it's just a few children who sneaked away to watch a few plays and wanted to learn the jokes in it, but they couldn't speak clearly... But, that's not too much. What a serious crime, the orphan was ordered to escort Xiangrui to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday, it was not easy to cause trouble, and he was as knowledgeable as a few children, so he simply gave them a ride. When they were about to arrive in the city, they sneaked away by themselves. people to chase."
He paused for a moment, and then said: "Don't worry, my lord, they can only repeat a few sentences in the play, not to mention the evidence, even the culpability of the prefect's accusation is inconsistent, how can I do it accurately. The so-called Lang Lang In Qiankun, justice is in the hearts of the people, it is not decided by a few jokes from urchins."
Zhuang Jinshi felt something was wrong when he heard the words, but the Seventh Prince said, "It's not good to make extra troubles", which is to show his attitude. If it goes on, it will really cause problems, so he sent the seventh prince away.
Out of caution, he still sent someone to secretly follow him to the next city, and he was more relieved when he learned that they were indeed just staying overnight and set off to return to Beijing early the next morning. What else can I do if I do some physical work to deliver things!
However, a few days later, the eleven children who ran away from the nursery were nowhere to be found, and Luo Qin, who often went to the nursery to teach them reading and had a feud with the prefect's mansion, went out to collect herbs and never returned. Zhuang Jinshi Only then did he realize that he might have been deceived by the Seventh Prince.
If you want to chase again, he has already left the border of Mengliang. Although he is the prefect of Mengliang, he can't cover the sky with his hands elsewhere. He can only step up and destroy all the evidence of possible influence, so that even if they want to investigate, they have no way to start. .
……
On the other side, Qi Jing, who had already arrived at the next county, settled down with Little Eleven as usual, and began to teach Shaoxuan how to write.
At this time, a personal guard came in to report: "Your Highness, the person has been sent to Tianjing, and he followed the route of An Guogong. Presumably, he should have arrived in Tianjing earlier than our team."
Qi Jing nodded: "Well, I see, when they arrive in Beijing, let Rong Guan settle them in the prince's mansion. Chen Xin was recommended by his grandfather, and he knew that it was the prince's mansion that An Guogong sent them to. , will not be embarrassed about this matter."
Qin Wei said: "Yes, Your Highness." Then he left the yard and went to do the things His Highness explained.
Qi Jing turned around and saw that Shaoxuan did not continue to write the letter, but looked at himself, and he knew that Shaoxuan was silently paying attention to this matter without him asking.
"With Zhuang Jinshi's ability, he should have realized that I took him away by now, but he couldn't catch up, and he didn't know if I sent a letter to Jingli immediately for help, so he didn't dare to chase him anymore. I'm afraid he's going crazy now. Destroy the evidence, in case I report it to my father after I return to Beijing, so that someone will come to Mengliang for inspection."
"What are you going to do?" Shaoxuan's words became longer and longer, enough to express himself.
Qi Jing shook her head helplessly: "To tell you the truth, I can't do anything."
In fact, from the moment those children ran to the road to stop them, they were doomed to scare the enemy, and the cautious and cunning enemy could not give them any excuses.
Even if Qi Jing wanted to manage it, and was able to manage it, he was useless. What's more, he was really a prince with no real power, so he had no choice but to take Zhuang Jinshi.
At that time, all he could do was to whitewash the peace, pretending that he didn't want to meddle in Meng Liang's business, to avoid his sharp edge, and then secretly protected those children, as well as the Luo Fuzi they said, and sent them to Tianjing.
Otherwise, Zhuang Jinshi caught him, and those children and Luo Qin would have no chance of surviving!
Keeping the green hills here, there is no need to worry about no firewood. This time, there is really no way to take Zhuang Jin, but it doesn't mean that things will never happen.
If we go head-to-head now, not only will the bad guys not be brought to justice, but innocent people will lose their lives in vain, then the loss outweighs the gain.
Qi Jing didn't see that Luo Qin, but he already knew something from Deng Song.
This talented scholar named Luo Qin knows some medical skills, lives near the kindergarten, and has been volunteering to teach the children there how to read and read.
Because his parents died one after another, Luo Qin failed to continue his studies, so he was only a scholar and had no other livelihood. He could only make a living by writing letters for others, filing lawsuits, and occasionally consigning paintings and calligraphy.
The nursery school is a place that few people pay attention to. Being able to do this spontaneously and for free for so many years shows that he is definitely not a person who is trying to catch fame.
Luo Qin originally made a marriage agreement, Zhun Yue's family was a small official in the county mansion, who knew that the daughter of that family was taken as a concubine by Zhuang Jinshi's son, so the small official divorced the Luo family.
When Deng Song mentioned the prefect Zhuang's crimes, he mentioned the robbery of the women's daughters, just to complain for Luo Qin.
But Qi Jing felt that the prefect and his son might have been wronged in this matter.
Since he was accepted as a concubine, it means that the son of the eunuch had met the daughter of the little official's family. If he really had a marriage contract and was unwilling to enter the eunuch's mansion, he could just say so, so he wouldn't go to the next step.
Luo Qin has been delayed for a few years, and is still keeping a filial piety for his mother. Whether he can be an examiner in the future is still a matter of opinion.
To marry Luo Qin, whose future is uncertain, or to marry the prefect's son as a concubine...Whether is better, it is really a matter of personal choice.
Luo Qin didn't want to speak ill of the former Yue's family in front of his children, nor could he criticize the prefect's mansion, so he probably didn't mention it again.
From Deng Song's point of view, their wife is of course the best and most powerful person in the world. How could they have thought that there are still people who are unwilling to marry Luo Qin as a wife, which naturally adds another crime to the prefect.
As for disregarding human lives, it was related to the construction of the canal, and self-stealing was related to the granary. Deng Song and the families of several of the children were killed because of this, and they really had a sworn feud with Zhuang Jin.
Qi Jing felt so powerless for the first time.
After he was reborn, he had indeed changed the fate of himself and Xiao Shiyi, but there were still many things that could not be achieved by just talking.
There are countless people suffering in this world, and one person cannot save everyone after all.
Knowing that he had tried his best, Shaoxuan patted the Seventh Prince's shoulder in relief.
Qi Jing took his hand and said, "Don't worry, I didn't think too much about it. I have a few catties and a few taels there, so I won't be brave."
At night, the little leopard cub was playing with his little tail beside him, which made Qi Jing unconsciously think of Deng Song's strange appearance.
He held the leopard cub on his lap and carefully observed its small ears and tail.
The little guy twisted and twisted, and didn't struggle too much, so he let his brother play with him. After a while, he saw that his brother just touched his ears and tail, and didn't give him a smooth hair, so he lay on his back and scratched his belly.
Qi Jing looked at it for a long time, but didn't remember any useful information, so he could only give up. Seeing that the little leopard cub wanted to smooth his fur, he gave it to him.
While listening to it humming comfortably, Qi Jing said: "You need friends to play with, growing up by yourself, it's too lonely."
Most of the children in the palace grew up alone, even if they were siblings or shared interests, there was always a distance between them.
The second prince and him, the fifth child and the sixth child are all like this.
Fortunately, Eleven came out with him, otherwise, even if he was alive, he might not be so happy.
Look at Deng Song and his children, although they are not from the same parents, they are united as one and love brothers and sisters.
In this way, growing up together and facing the hardships of life together may not be so difficult.
Little Eleven has his seventh brother, so Qi Jing has become less lonely because of Little Eleven.
