Chapter 37 Undercurrent (2)

Wenyang Prefecture is located in the southern part of Shu, with seven counties under its jurisdiction, and now only five counties: Kaiming, Xingshan, Donglan, Zhengding, and Jishui.

The total household registration is less than 15,000 households. According to the original division regulations of the imperial court, it is a small county.

At this time, Li Xian was also setting off and arrived five miles from the city gate. Fifty fully armed soldiers were also traveling with him. He even sent the prefect Li Gang to show his grandeur.

"Sir, are we welcoming Master Wang?" A team couldn't help asking.

"This is the order of the Grand Marshal, and I will obey you." Li Xian said impatiently: "Don't ask more questions."

This formation really made him very busy. He had to deal with affairs in the mansion and prepare for many things in the ceremony. Now, Wang Shoutian is welcomed, and he is going again.

However, being able to get closer to Wang Shoutian is an opportunity that others cannot ask for.

He thought carefully and felt that although this trip was hard, it was not a single benefit.

Thinking of this, I gradually felt better.

Li Gangnian was around thirty years old and was Li Xian's uncle. He was tall and thin, wearing the robe of the prefect, and his eyes fell in the distance.

It was the end of June, and two rivers crossed through Wenyang Prefecture, flowing through gurgling, irrigating the fertile fields on both sides, forming a large fertile land. The climate here is mild, the soil is fertile, and the products are abundant.

The fields are covered with grass on the ground that is not as close as possible between the fields.

Li Xian said: "Look at the time, it should be here."

Li Gang smiled and said lightly: "The boss entrusted this son to this son. This son must have something extraordinary. It's okay for us to wait for a while."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw dust floating on the official road in the distance. After a while, he could see more than ten riders slowly moving towards this side.

"The lower-ranking official, Wang Shoutian, the magistrate of Jishui County, has met the lord!" A young man turned over from the horse and bowed first.

Wang Shoutian is from the seventh rank, and this person is the fifth rank, so he should be respected. Of course, if Wang Shoutian officially becomes his heir, even if Li Gang has a high official position, he will have to salute Wang Shoutian in turn.

"You are Lord Wang Shoutian? What a young hero!" Li Gang quickly helped him up with a smile: "I dare not give such a big gift, I dare not give such a big gift."

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

Li Gang looked carefully and saw that Wang Shoutian was wearing the county magistrate's uniform. He looked a little tired because he arrived from a distance, but his eyebrows were so heroic that he was indeed a young talented man.

Wang Shoutian also looked at this person and saw that the cloud energy condensed above him. According to his official position, it should have been the fifth rank, which was a rich golden qi, but now it seems that there are red qi gathering, and only yellow qi is born. Obviously, his real authoritative structure is only from the sixth rank to the sixth rank.

I remembered that the Marshal was the same a year ago, but he was more yellow and thoughtful.

After greeting each other, Li Xian stepped forward with a smile on his face and said politely: "Mr. Wang, this time, the official of the lower lord will tell you about the news in the name of the Grand Marshal..."

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

"...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 two cars, and in just a moment, many thoughts flashed through their minds. However, the car was a carriage, and the scene outside could be seen.

Li Xian bowed respectfully in the car.

"Mr. Li, you are..." Wang Shoutian hurriedly turned sideways slightly, not fully receiving the other party's gift. He understood in his heart, but asked in his mouth.

"Mr. Wang, this time the general is eager to call you to make you an heir, so he sent the prefect Li to welcome you... When you arrive in the mansion, you will immediately see the general."

Then, he told Wang Shoutian about this matter in detail.

Although I had expected it, this incident still surprised Wang Shoutian in this life.

Wang Shoutian was stunned for a moment, then asked about Wang Zunzhi's body, but he no longer mentioned this matter.

After hearing the matter, Li Xian secretly observed the other party's reaction, but saw that the other party was only happy for a moment, and then recovered and secretly praised him.

He naturally didn't know what happened to Wang Shoutian in his past and present life, but he only thought that this son was indeed calm and had the spirit of a general.

"Mr. Wang, this matter has been announced to the generals. It is best for you to rest in the mansion these days to avoid any trouble when going out, which will affect the ceremony two days later." Li Xian couldn't help but remind.

Wang Shoutian was a little grateful for his reminder. Li Xian joined Li Chengye in his previous life, and Wang Shoutian was inevitably a little bit of a grudge against him.

But now it seems that in other people's previous lives, they just chose good trees to live in.

Now that I have done it again, my situation has improved greatly compared to my previous life, and this person may not have joined the Li family again.

So, thanked and said, "Thank you for your reminder, that should have been done."

The brigade drove out and passed by the long street. The sound of horseshoes and wheels rubbing against each other attracted everyone to look around and discuss.

"Isn't this Master Li?"

"Who are those two?"

"This is Lord Li Xian and the person around the Grand Marshal."

"What about one more?"

"...I know, this is Wang Shoutian, the county magistrate Wang. Last time he killed Chen Xiang, and a few days ago he killed Lu Ji and captured Taisu County."

"Hey, that's really great."

A team of fifty people slowly drove into the road facing the Jiedu Mansion. There were frequent discussions along the way, and some people watched intently in some restaurants.

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

Inside, there are dark waves flowing.

Jingxin Temple in the city.

"Dang!" The melodious bell sounded from the temple. This Jingxin Temple was originally a small temple. With the support of the wife of the Jiedushi for twenty years, it now has dozens of houses, five main halls, covering an area of ​​thirty acres.

The sounds of chanting Buddhist chants and scriptures came and spread throughout the temples.

There are monks guarding the entrance and exit of the platform stone steps.

In a main hall, a large incense burner was placed in front of the Buddha's niche. The burning incense wood emitted a slight fragrance, which spread throughout the space.

A noble lady was kneeling in front of the Buddha and reciting sutras.

At this time, an old woman hurried in from outside, saw the noble lady at first sight, and hurried over.

"How are you inquiring about the matter?" Seeing the old woman approaching, the lady asked in a low voice.

The old woman bent down and whispered a few words in the noble lady's ear.

"Wang Zunzhi dared to do this!" After hearing what the old woman said, anger suddenly appeared on the noble lady's face. Her whole body was trembling. After a while, she finally calmed down.

With a sneer on his face, he said to himself: "Wang Zunzhi, you are so cruel. You really want to take an outsider to inherit the big business. The relationship between husband and wife for twenty years is not as good as that of an outsider. Since you are so ruthless, don't blame me for being ruthless. Mrs. Lan, I will take those people to act tonight."

"No." The old woman lowered her head and replied in a low voice.

After the old woman went out, the noble lady recited the scriptures again. Her expression was much more relaxed, as if she had made up her mind.

The old woman came out of the temple and headed straight for the city.

But as soon as I walked halfway, I was stopped.

"I am the wet nurse of the Grandmaster. Who dares to stop me?" Seeing that I was stopped by myself, a team of full armored soldiers, the old woman was trembling and moved her wife out to suppress the other party.

Unexpectedly, the other party flashed to the sides, a young man walked up to her and said lightly: "The Grandmaster is welcome."

The old woman naturally recognized this man as Li Xian, the most beloved person in front of the commander-in-chief, saw that he had been exposed and collapsed to the ground.

Li Xian waved his hands left and right, and immediately two soldiers stepped forward, raised her, and stuffed her into a carriage prepared in advance.

The team retreated quickly.

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

Wang Zunzhi looked carefully and showed a self-deprecating and bitter smile on his face.

"Sir, all these people have confessed, you see..."

"Eliminate all the people she wins over, and you don't have to worry about her." Wang Zunzhi said calmly at this time, his tone was indifferent to be bearish.

"No." Li Xian didn't dare to ask too much and stepped out.

After everyone left, Wang Zunzhi picked up the secret report and couldn't help but cough, which continued to worsen until the handkerchief was covered with blood.

"Did you die suddenly? Why should you get to this point for a lifetime of couple?" After coughing, Wang Zunzhi seemed to have already coughed up his 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 something, wanting Wang Zunzhi to die suddenly.

This great throne was passed down from the wife's father, and he was the hostess of the mansion. Naturally, there were a few people under his wife who dared to die. The wife ordered those people to act tonight through Lady Lan, just to mix something in the medicine.

These medicines are not poisonous, but with Wang Zunzhi's body now, they may die overnight.

If he really succeeds, not to mention that the inheritance will be affected, even the generals and the Li family in the town will immediately take action and the whole town will fall apart.

After so many troubles, this woman was so vicious. She thought she could still control the situation twenty years ago?

I'm afraid she will die without a place to bury her.

She had originally wanted to destroy her, but after all, she was a couple and lost her three sons. In addition, her father had the grace of knowing and promoting her, and after thinking about it, Wang Zunzhi finally endured this tone.

But this incident finally left him empty and had nothing to hold on.

"Come here, call Qian Wuniang!"

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

"Two days later, the town held a ceremony for heirs. I didn't want the wife to be overly happy, and she was hit and passed away. It's a pity. The town is very sad and arranged a ceremony for the burial in the future." Speaking of this, Wang Zunzhi coughed again: "...Do you understand what I said?"

Qian Wuniang's body trembled slightly, her face was pale, and she was stunned for a moment. She finally kowtowed and said, "I understand... I'll ask the adults to take care of my child."
