Wei Yi Searches for Books
Dou Quan quickly returned to the capital.
He told Jing Yi the contents of the imperial edict.
"His Majesty has changed the edict. It says that Prince Rong is to return to the capital immediately."
"What?"
Jing Yi was shocked.
Jing Rong was to return to the capital?
This was undoubtedly not the biggest threat.
He had never expected that the Emperor would issue such an imperial edict. Sure enough, the Emperor had been forced into a corner by the officials recommending him to be the Crown Prince.
Dou Quan asked, "Your Highness, what should we do now?"
Jing Yi's eyes were filled with murderous intent. "It looks like we have to start planning now. In any case, Jing Rong cannot be allowed to return to the capital. We have to stop him at all costs. This Prince will not hesitate even if it means killing him."
"Yes."
"Wait."
"Your Highness, do you have other instructions?"
"Did that fool who has always been by Teacher Ji's side not go to Yufu?"
"Yes, he is in Jinjiang now."
Jing Yi's eyes were suddenly filled with a monstrous sense of guilt.
"Send someone to Jinjiang and capture that fool for this Prince. If he can't stop Jing Rong from entering the capital, we can use that fool as a chess piece."
What a brilliant plan!
Dou Quan accepted the order and left immediately without delay.
The capital was in a state of flux. An invisible war was slowly unfolding.
At this time in Jinjiang.
Ever since Liu Qingping became the County Magistrate again, there were no more murders in Jinjiang. The yamen was so peaceful that the entire yamen was quiet.
Even the yamen runners who were usually guarding outside had begun to doze off.
Wang San and Wei Wu sat on the doorsill of the yamen, sighing.
"Boring. Really boring."
"Isn't that so? In any case, ever since Teacher Ji left, not only the yamen, but the whole of Jinjiang has become deserted. In the past, we were always too busy to follow Teacher Ji around. If it wasn't a corpse being found somewhere, then we would be able to learn something from Teacher Ji. Now, we have nothing to do every day. Although it's quite relaxing, we're still panicking. "
"Me too." Wei Wu said, "When I passed by the autopsy room yesterday, I went in to take a look. You wouldn't know, but there were cobwebs growing inside."
"Sigh …"
The two of them sighed outside the yamen every day.
Suddenly —
Dong!
There was a bang.
Someone was beating the drum!
Their eyes immediately lit up. They stood up and were overjoyed at the unexpected turn of events.
Aiyo, finally someone came to beat the drum and cry out for injustice!
But —
The person who came was not the one who came to seek justice, but Wei Yi.
He held the drumming stick and stood in front of the drum.
That scene seemed familiar.
He smiled at the two of them. That smile was refreshing and clean, as hot as the sun in August.
"Young Master Wei? Why are you here? "Wang San asked.
He bowed deeply and said, "I'm here to borrow books from Lord Liu."
"Borrow books?" Wei Wu and Wang San looked at each other, chuckled, and said in a joking tone, "Young Master Wei, aren't you illiterate? You're here to borrow a book. Can you understand it? "
"I thought you didn't even know the Three Character Classic?"
"The books in Lord Liu's study are very profound. Teacher Ji used to say that it was difficult for him to read them. It's better if you don't read them."
"Why don't I give you a few children's books?"
The two of them had no intention of ridiculing him.
Wei Yi found them amusing, and the smile on his face became more unrestrained. He ignored them and walked straight into the yamen.
Wei Wu and Wang San scratched their heads and looked at each other.
They muttered in puzzlement, "Why does Young Master Wei seem to have changed into a different person?"
"I think so too."
But what exactly had changed? They couldn't put their finger on it.
Liu Qingping was dressed in casual clothes. He held a birdcage in his hand and was playing with a bird.
The bird was probably irritated by his teasing. It chirped non-stop, flapping its wings and jumping up and down in the cage.
"Look at you. This official feeds you so much every day. Why don't you get fat?"
"Chirp chirp!"
"You're the most active of all the birds."
"Chirp chirp!"
The louder the bird chirped, the happier Liu Qingping was. It meant that the bird was in good health.
"Lord Liu." Wei Yi entered.
Liu Qingping put down the birdcage. He was surprised. "Young Master Wei, why are you here?"
He took a piece of paper out of his sleeve and handed it to him, saying, "I'm here to borrow a book from you. This is what I want to borrow from you."
"Borrow books?" Liu Qingping and the two outside the yamen shared the same expression. He opened the piece of paper in bewilderment. There were almost ten books written on it.
Liu Qingping's eyes widened. "Young Master Wei, these are all very profound books. Even this official might not be able to understand them. Are you sure you want to borrow these books?"
Wei Yi nodded.
"They say that Lord Liu's study has all kinds of books. Lord Liu is so knowledgeable that you must have collected many good books, right? That's why I'm here to try my luck. I don't know if I can borrow these books. I want to be like you, to read thousands of books and be a smart person. "Wei Yi had to admit that he was very good at praising people.
Moreover, he said it slowly and clearly.
What Liu Qingping loved the most in his life was people praising him, and praising him without holding back.
He was so happy that his gums popped out. "Oh my, Young Master Wei, I haven't seen you for a few days. Your mouth has become sharper."
Pfft!
As long as you like it.
Wei Yi smiled without saying a word.
Liu Qingping said, "I have all the books you're looking for. Come, follow me to the study. I'll find them for you one by one."
"Thank you, Lord Liu."
Liu Qingping chuckled. He leaned forward and said, "Oh my, what are you thanking me for? You and Yunshu are engaged, so you're family. This official and Yunshu are also family, so we're family."
Who's family with you?
Shameless bastard!
When Wei Yi heard the word 'engaged', his chest trembled, but his face remained calm.
The two entered the study. Liu Qingping worked hard to help Wei Yi find the books. He brought a ladder and climbed up and down the shelves, working very hard.
"Oh right, Young Master Wei, are you really reading these books by yourself?"
"Yes."
"Why do I remember that you were illiterate before? Did I remember wrongly?"
He rummaged through the bookshelves, but there was no response from Wei Yi for a long time.
He hugged the books in his hands and turned around. He saw Wei Yi standing in front of the study table, looking at the books on the table with a calm expression. He opened a booklet on top.
There were a few very delicate words written on the booklet.
