Sheng Shaoqing had no choice but to temporarily put aside the joy of frantically swiping credit cards and follow the path of good deeds, "That'll be alright."
Ji Wenxuan breathed a sigh of relief quietly, this should save a lot of money.
Just as they were about to turn into the teahouse, they saw a small alley next to the teahouse crowded with people, which was even more lively than the main street.
Sheng Shaoqing glanced in curiously and saw that they seemed to be lining up to receive something from the door of a house.
The man queuing at the end of the queue saw that Sheng Shaoqing was dressed in an extraordinary way, and curiously poked his head to look at them. He raised his sleeves to block Sheng Shaoqing's sight, and said angrily, "What are you looking at!"
"Hey!"
The owner of the teahouse just came out of the shop. Seeing that Sheng Shaoqing was about to squabble with others, he kindly pulled Sheng Shaoqing in and invited them into the shop before explaining, "That alley is the back street of Wangfu. I heard that these few
If they do good deeds in the Tianwang Mansion, as long as they follow the housekeeper every day, they can receive a lot of money. Those idle street kids in our town have been here in recent days. You have a valuable status, so why bother with such people?"
Sheng Shaoqing was even more confused, "Is there such a thing as money falling from the sky?"
The boss said "Hi" and welcomed Sheng Shaoqing in, asked her to sit down and said, "Originally, there weren't any, but people live in this world and see a lot of things, so aren't they?"
Sheng Shaoqing chuckled. He didn't expect there to be such a philosopher in the mountains and fields.
"Don't laugh, just tell me whether what I just said makes sense."
Ji Wenxuan took over the conversation, "That certainly makes sense."
"But which palace does this palace belong to?"
The boss picked up the teapot in his hand and refilled tea for them, while replying, "Are some of you from other places?"
"This Wangfu was the former Xiangzhengfu. Later, the previous Guo Xiangzheng resigned and the current Wang Yuan Wangxiangzheng took office, so he moved into this Xiangzhengfu and changed the plaque on the door to Wangfu."
The boss finished adding tea to Lin Jin, who was the last one to sit down, and said in a voice that only a few people could hear, "I heard that the plaque was modeled after the palace of Prince Chenliu!"
After saying this, the boss shook his head and commented, "I'm afraid it's just trying to imitate others, and it will end up making people laugh."
"Boss! Here's another pot of tea!"
The boss left in response. Sheng Shaoqing looked at the boss's retreating figure and thought that this teahouse was indeed a very well-informed place.
"Wang Yuan is so proud of himself. As a township official, he needs to change his plaque?"
First changing the court, and then showing a cheerful and charitable look, Wang Yuan is really...
Ji Wenxuan frowned and said, "I'm afraid it's not that simple."
Ji Wenxuan whispered a few words to Lin Jin, and Lin Jin took off the saber and jade pendant from his waist and placed them on the table, cupped his hands and turned around.
"What are you doing?" Sheng Shaoqing didn't know what Ji Wenxuan was trying to do, so he just heard Ji Wenxuan whisper, "Madam, you'll know in a moment."
Sure enough, before half a cup of tea, Lin Jin turned back. However, compared to the heroic appearance when he went out, Lin Jin's brows seemed to be a little more embarrassed when he came back?
As soon as Lin Jin sat down, he whispered, "Sure enough, nothing good happened!"
"I slipped into the queue, and when it was my turn, they asked for any proof before they would give me money. Of course I didn't have any, so they kicked me out."
"But according to the steward who distributes the money, they find some people to go to the nearby fields regularly every day. As long as they stay for enough time, someone will issue them a receipt, and they can come to the palace to collect it.
Some money."
Sheng Shaoqing asked in confusion, "When did it start?"
"Just the past few days."
Lin Jin said angrily, "However, the manager was so rude in what he said, which shows that he is used to being domineering here!"
The waiter who came up to refill the tea heard Lin Jin's complaint and asked curiously, "Is the young master talking about the steward of the palace next door?"
Lin Jin nodded, and the waiter seemed to have started talking, "Hey! Don't mention it! That person..."
"That man has newly become the leader of the four evildoers in our Qingshiban Township!"
"As for how it became the top of the list, let me tell you slowly."
The boss suddenly appeared behind him and knocked him on the head. "Why don't you go to work and talk too much? The customers think you are noisy!"
"Hey!" Sheng Shaoqing quickly stopped the boss, "It's okay, we don't mind him being noisy, just let him talk."
After saying that, Sheng Shaoqing also knowingly took out his purse from his sleeve, took out a piece of silver and said, "These should be considered as my buying time for him to talk about this book for us."
When the teahouse owner saw that he had made money, he stopped, took the money back, and left with satisfaction. He thought to himself, "Why don't we really give the waiter a storyteller platform from now on?"
The waiter said excitedly, "How do you know, madam, that your little dream is to go to the capital to tell stories?!"
Sheng Shaoqing smiled awkwardly, I don't know if you want to go to the capital, but I know you definitely want to study.
Ji Wenxuan also took out a few copper coins from his wallet and placed them in front of the waiter's eyes. "If you say well, I will reward you with these coins."
The waiter's eyes sparkled and he talked about the recent trivial matters in Wang Yuan's family with great interest.
This Wang Yuan used to be an upright person, and he only had a few people under his command, but these few people still had their own agendas and were full of evil intentions.
There was only one person who obeyed Wang Yuan's advice. He would never go west when Wang Yuan asked him to go east.
Therefore, Wang Yuan was closest to him.
Suddenly one day, when Wang Yuan became prosperous, someone actually asked Guo Xiangzheng to step down from his post early for Wang Yuan's sake, vacating the seat for him.
Wang Yuan is not stupid. After he became rich, he only brought this person who was loyal to him to take office, and now he made him the steward of his house.
When one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, and Wang Yuan becomes the official of the village, the steward also rises up. I heard that the idea of replacing the plaque was the steward's idea.
The steward's surname was Lai. Not only was he evil-hearted, but he also dared to do things he did not take seriously. He would always evade anything when something happened, so everyone just called him a mangy dog.
"A few days ago, because of his moneylending, many families were ruined and their lives were broken. The victims reported it to the official. But now the biggest official in the village is Wang Yuan, and the victims were helpless. I heard that many people had planned to raise money to go to Chenliu to file a complaint.
Already."
"Can no one take care of him?"
The waiter shrugged helplessly, "Who can take care of it? Who dares to take care of it? Who will take care of it?"
"Wang Yuan is busy with the errands of Juntian above, how can he care about these things?"
"Coping? Equalizing the land?"
The waiter nodded, "I heard this too from hearsay. It's hard to tell whether it's true or not. It's up to you to believe it or not. The man who gave Wang Yuan official the job before seemed to have sent someone to warn Wang Yuan a few days ago, and Wang Yuan was arrested for this.
I’m so exhausted that I’m getting angry at home!”
Ji Wenxuan threw the copper plate on the table to the waiter. The waiter happily put the copper plate into his pocket, bowed and left, and then said, "Madam, if you want to hear anything else, just tell me."
that is!"
When the waiter walked away, Sheng Shaoqing and Ji Wenxuan looked at each other and said, "Wang sent someone to warn Wang Yuan?"
Ji Wenxuan pondered for a moment, "If the waiter's information is correct, the question is, what did Wang Yuan do to make Mr. Wang warn Wang Yuan?"
"I remember... Qingshiban Township has the biggest difference in numbers, so I was able to spot this place at a glance among the numbers with only slight errors. Is it because of the Wang family?"
Mrs. Wang originally wanted to fake it quietly, but she didn't expect that the artificial fake below went too far, and instead exposed her fault?
Ji Wenxuan nodded and added, "Is it possible that Wang Yuan did it on purpose?"
"on purpose?"
Sheng Shaoqing thought for a long time but couldn't figure out why Wang Yuan deliberately leaked the truth. Wasn't this just to lead people to investigate him?
Ji Wenxuan continued, "Judging from the fact that he changed the plaque to be the same as the Chenliu Wang family, he should be demonstrating against the Wang family."
"The Chenliu Wang family attaches great importance to rules and regulations, and the plaques on the residences of different branches and different official positions will be distinguished."
"A few years ago, because the Wang family in Jiankang City in Nanjing also used the same plaque as the Wang family in Chenliu, the two families were at odds with each other, and even got involved in the court situation at that time."
"Later, because Emperor Jingming and his wife were born in the Jiankang Wang family, the Jiankang Wang family soared and became a popular royal relative, while the Chenliu Wang family gradually declined, so the two families reluctantly shook hands and made peace."
Sheng Shaoqing suddenly realized, "No wonder you said he changed the plaque not because of good face."
"However, paying attention to the rules and decorum is not about looking at the plaque..."
Ji Wenxuan smiled bitterly when he heard this and said, "There is such a thing in front of us. It seems that he tampered with the numbers. It is probably not an unintentional mistake."
Ji Wenxuan sighed again and said, "I don't know if it's because of the reputation, or because I really love my son!"
"Yes!" Sheng Shaoqing suddenly thought, "Wang Yuan's son is still in prison!"
"Could it be that in order to save his son, he came up with this strategy and set himself on fire to coerce the Wang family to help him?"
Ji Wenxuan stroked his beard and said, "It's not impossible. However, it depends on whether Wang Yuan has the brains."
Sheng Shaoqing knew what Ji Wenxuan meant, maybe Wang Yuan just wanted to vent his anger?
After all, Wang Yuan didn't hesitate when he sent his son in to protect others from disaster.
Sheng Shaoqing took a sip of tea and said, "Whether he has this intention or not, there will be results within the next two days."
Ji Wenxuan raised his head and glanced at Sheng Shaoqing with a smile, "Madam, I'm afraid he can't help but not know about such a big battle."
"However, the steward in his house has already topped the list of villains. How can he really be so kind?"
Ji Wenxuan was puzzled by what he meant. It took him a moment to realize that Sheng Shaoqing was talking about the "money-spreading" activity that was going on next door. He also imitated Sheng Shaoqing's tone and said, "It's so nice. We'll have the results tomorrow."
Ji Wenxuan turned the empty tea cup upside down, and immediately a man dressed as a farmer jumped out of nowhere and appeared behind Ji Wenxuan.
Sheng Shaoqing:??????
Ji Wenxuan whispered a few words into the man's ear, and the man took the order and retreated. Ji Wenxuan turned to Lin Jin and smiled and said, "Guard Lin's aura is too frightening, so let's go with someone else."
.”
When night fell, Sheng Shaoqing returned to the inn with Aning and Forsythia who were still enjoying their shopping.
Cui Yun, who returned early, had been waiting anxiously outside the door for a long time. As soon as Guo Song behind her saw Sheng Shaoqing and his party coming back, he immediately rushed forward and said, "You... you all did what you did outside today.
What?!"
Forsythia said dissatisfied, "You are so rude in your speech. What we have done has nothing to do with you."
Sheng Shaoqing raised his hand to stop Forsythia, "What's wrong?"
Guo Song led the people in and whispered, "I heard that Wang Yuan's nephew made a big fuss in the palace today, saying that someone pretended to be his aunt's family member and took advantage of him!"
"When I think about it, there should be no one else but you who can create such a big battle in Qingshiban Township!"
Ji Wenxuan had no choice but to nod and acknowledge the matter, but Guo Song was even more anxious and said, "This is bad!"
"I'm afraid there won't be any happy life tomorrow!"
"Wang Yuan's nephew is famous for being a free-spirited person. Do you offend him? I'm afraid that if the marriage fails, we will become enemies!"
Sheng Shaoqing said indifferently, "Why, he is such a bastard and he still wants me to let him go?"
"Isn't his name also on the list of villains in your hometown?"
Guo Song nodded awkwardly, "He is ranked second."
Sheng Shaoqing clicked his tongue and shook his head, "Look, there are only four in total, and Wang Yuan's family owns two."
They are really collaborating, they are all in the same group!
Guo Song smiled awkwardly again, "Actually, there is another one, and the third one is Wang Yuan's nephew."
Sheng Shaoqing:
Is this the power of genes? Or is it that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked? The whole family is stunned that no one is talented!
"There's nothing we can do about it! Who wants us to have Uncle Xiangzheng?!"
"I heard them say that Wang Yuan will come to support his nephew tomorrow!"
Sheng Shaoqing said indifferently, "Come as soon as you come, I'm just afraid he won't come!"
Guo Song pulled Ji Wenxuan aside and said, "Sir, Madam?"
Ji Wenxuan explained in a low voice: "Madam has a distinguished status. Wang Yuan is a small country official, so naturally she doesn't take her seriously. However, why are you so afraid of him?"
Guo Songyou glanced at Ji Wenxuan with great resentment, "I will always hang out here."
Ji Wenxuan shook his head decisively, "No, I have promised to take you to the capital, so it must not be you."
"Oh, I understand. Are you worried about Shopkeeper Bai?"
"Are you afraid that after you leave, that bastard will vent his anger in the inn?"
Guo Song's thoughts were exposed by Ji Wenxuan, and he stopped covering up and said directly, "The shopkeeper is very kind to me. I can't cause her any more trouble because of my own affairs. This is too selfish."
Ji Wenxuan also smiled knowingly, "I think it's not just a great kindness, but also a profound love!"
"Don't worry, you don't have to worry about this anymore. I promise that it won't involve the inn, and I will give you an explanation."
