"Lord, are you guessing that Hua Yuan has gone to Ning Province?"
Jiang Pengji secretly summoned Wei Ci and told him about Hua Yuan.
Jiang Pengji said, "That's what I guessed. If I remember correctly, you said that Hua Yuan died of illness in Ningzhou in his previous life?"
"Indeed, but in this life … I didn't expect Hua Yuan to end up the same way."
If it weren't for this encounter in his childhood, Hua Yuan wouldn't have lost his mind, and he wouldn't have lived his life like this.
If he was clear-headed, it wouldn't be difficult for him to live to the end of his life, even if he didn't achieve success and recognition.
"How does my lord intend to deal with him? Should we send someone to capture him or kill him on the spot? "
Wei Ci felt sorry for Hua Yuan, but he did not sympathize with him. After all, no matter how pitiful Hua Yuan was, his wrongdoings could not be forgiven.
Jiang Pengji crossed her arms and supported her chin. She looked up at Wei Ci.
"I'm going to see him in person to settle this once and for all. Zixiao, do you want to come with me?"
Even if the personality created by Hua Yuan was fake, she would still feel uncomfortable if she didn't deal with it herself.
After fighting the war for two to three years, she and Zixiao didn't have much time to be alone, so they could take this opportunity to spend some time together.
Wei Ci smiled and said, "You lied to them at the critical moment. If you don't give a reason, I'm afraid they'll complain again."
He was especially worried that Feng Zhen and the rest would misunderstand that his lord was abusing his position for personal gain.
Jiang Pengji said nonchalantly, "The war in Nansheng has stopped, but there are still civil unrest of varying sizes in various places. It will take some time to completely pacify them. As the lord, how can I sit back and do nothing? In order to ensure the safety of the people, these vermin must be eradicated without delay! "
Was she someone who abused her position for personal gain?
She was clearly doing this for the sake of the general situation and the people. She wanted to deal with the hidden danger of Hua Yuan and bring peace and stability to the people along the way.
No matter how many times he heard or watched it, Wei Ci could not help but sigh at his lord's ability to lie through her teeth. No one could compare to her.
"I'll have to trouble my lord to say these words to Zi Shi and the rest. I won't overstep my boundaries."
Jiang Pengji rested her chin on her hand. "Sigh, Zixiao has also learned to be naughty. Who has led him astray?"
In the past, Zixiao was a considerate person. He wouldn't be so mischievous.
Wei Ci blinked his right eye lightly and teased, "What does my lord think?"
Jiang Pengji said, "I thought … this is called husband and wife."
As time went by, the two of them would become more and more similar in some areas, and more and more tacit with each other.
Wei Ci was so angry that his face turned red.
Ten Wei Zixiao's could not compare to one Jiang Pengji's level of flirting. The latter's level of flirting had reached the peak.
As expected, Feng Zhen and the others rolled their eyes at Jiang Pengji's suggestion.
On the surface, he was smiling, but in his heart, he was cursing.
What's the point of bringing Zixiao along for work? What's the point?
Jiang Pengji raised her eyebrows and smiled. "I don't mean much. I can't create the Young Lord that all of you yearn for by myself, can I?"
Feng Zhen had a meaningful look in his eyes. He raised his hand to remove Jiang Pengji's hand from his shoulder.
While pretending to be serious, he suppressed the corners of his mouth and said righteously, "My lord is right. Quelling the civil unrest and restoring peace to the people is the top priority. Zixiao is steady and meticulous in his work. With him by my lord's side to assist me, I can be at ease … "
No matter how big the world was, it was not as big as the young master.
When the Young Lord grew up, he wouldn't have to put up with a Lord with a terrible temper. Just thinking about it made him happy.
He had rolled his eyes just now, but now he was eager for Jiang Pengji to immediately pack up and abduct Wei Ci.
Haha, men!
Ningzhou wasn't too far from Jiang Pengji's current location, but it wasn't near either. It would take a few days to catch up on horseback.
Just as she was about to leave, an unexpected companion interrupted.
"What are you doing here?"
Jiang Pengji looked at Lu Zheng with dissatisfaction. Was this guy trying to mess things up on purpose?
Lu Zheng said, "I heard that the Duke of Lanting is going to look for Hua Yuan. I have some accumulated grievances with him, so I can take this opportunity to settle them."
Jiang Pengji was about to refuse, but she didn't expect Wei Ci to plead for Lu Zheng with his eyes …
"How infuriating! You even have to bring along two high-wattage lightbulbs!"
Although she was reluctant, she still brought Lu Zheng and his adopted daughter, Kang Xintong.
Two days before the departure, the first batch of names for the conquest was released. The first one was impressively Mi Qu.
Mi Qu, one could tell from her name that she was a woman. In fact, she was indeed a woman.
The faces of the scholars who lined up behind her darkened.
Even if they were roaring in their hearts that there was something shady and unfair, they still acted reservedly and congratulated each other on the surface. It was a harmonious scene.
The documents for the conquest were specially sent to the temporary lodgings of the scholars. When the congratulatory sound of the gong spread from the alley to the manor, Mi Qu was standing in the courtyard and looking at the clouds in the distance. The concubine who was holding an umbrella for her to shade her from the sun asked in confusion, "Why is it so noisy outside?"
"I don't think it's noisy. Instead, it's very pleasant." Mi Qu said meaningfully, "Tell the kitchen to prepare it."
"Madam, we just had lunch a quarter of an hour ago."
Mi Qu said, "The bamboo stir-fried table was prepared for the master."
The concubine was stunned for a moment before she reacted. She immediately smiled and congratulated Mi Qu.
On that day, the one who felt the most despair was probably Mi Qu's husband.
When the good news of the conquest came, it was as if he heard the sound of a death knell. The words "my life is over" were circling in his mind.
"I won't eat it! I won't eat it even if I die! "
He would rather kneel to death than eat it.
After all, they had been husband and wife for several years. He knew that Mi Qu's personality was the most serious. If she said that she wanted to eat the bamboo stir-fried table, she would definitely stuff it down his throat.
"Master, before the madam remembers it, let's escape first, shall we?" The attendant suggested to his master with a bitter expression. "After a while, the madam might forget about it. If we stay here any longer, the madam might come!!! "
Of the thirty-six stratagems, escape was the best!
The man hurriedly packed his luggage and escaped with his guards. For a long time, he didn't dare to appear in front of Mi Qu.
Mi Qu held a plate of bamboo stir-fried fungus in one hand. Looking at the messy room, she sneered without saying a word.
"He really can't be helped. Let him be. After this incident, he should be able to rest for a while. "
The concubine watched from the side with cold sweat dripping down her back. Once again, she was impressed by her madam's strength.
Anyone with half a brain would know that it was impossible to eat the bamboo stir-fried table. Yet, her master took it seriously. Not only did he take it seriously, he even ran away in fear.
The news of Mi Qu being at the top of the list flew out as if it had grown wings.
"Letting a madam rank above me is a great humiliation!"
Who was Mi Qu?
A madam in the inner chamber!
He had studied hard for more than 20 years. How could he be inferior to a madam?
There must be a conspiracy behind this!
The 21st-ranked scholar was unhappy. He had a strong and unyielding character. He refused to admit defeat and refused to be conscripted. The onlookers were dumbfounded as they watched the scholar stomp his feet. Then, they watched in bewilderment as the messenger put the document of conscription into his arms and turned to leave.
The scholar was speechless.
He left just like that?
Wasn't he going to ask him to stay?
"Isn't the Duke of Lanting a woman too?" a spectator whispered.
It was not like the scholar didn't know that Jiang Pengji was a woman. If he couldn't stand a woman being ranked above him, why did he run to the assessment?
