"What are your plans?" the man asked.
"I'm greedy." Jiang Wei said, looking at the young man sitting across from him, "I want all the beauties."
"Both of them?" The man was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed, "You are the only prince who has been kicked out?"
"How did you know that I was kicked out?" Jiang Wei asked, showing a gloomy smile, "I just haven't entered the game yet."
"Is there any difference?" the man asked.
"In the next few days, I am going to the county to meet someone." Jiang Wei suddenly said.
"Who are you meeting?" the man asked.
"Danyang County Sheriff, Ding Xiangzhong." Jiang Wei said.
…
In summer in the north, the weather is changeable.
In the middle of the night, the wind suddenly picked up, and heavy rain fell. Ping'an Town was suddenly enveloped in mist and rain.
On the bluestone path on the long street, the sound of horse hooves occasionally came from the window. Bai Ze sat in the room and listened to the sound of rain. His thoughts were disturbed by the sudden rain and he could not sleep peacefully.
Pei Guoguo and Fang Sheng came back when it started to rain. They only said hello to Bai Ze and then went back to their rooms to take a shower and change clothes.
When the rain started to intensify, someone walked up the wooden stairs with steady steps. He walked to Bai Ze's door, hesitated, and knocked on the door.
"Knock knock."
"Please come in." Bai Ze said.
Jiang Wei opened the door and walked in with rain all over his body.
"Tsk, the young master went out without an umbrella and walked back so slowly. Do you have something on your mind?" Bai Ze didn't hold a lamp, but he could see at night. He glanced at Jiang Wei and joked.
"Do you have any wine?" Jiang Wei took off his black robe, hung it on the hanger, and sat down at the square table. Regardless of Bai Ze's lack of reply, he reached for the wine bottle on the table and poured himself a glass. drink.
"Did you really get what I said?" Bai Ze smiled, poured himself a glass, and drank it to the full.
"I need your help with something." Jiang Wei got straight to the point.
"I have to think about murder and arson." Bai Ze glanced at Jiang Wei's black robe hanging on the hanger and said with a smile.
"Murder and arson, why did I ask you to do it?" Jiang Wei laughed and looked at Bai Ze, "I'm going to the county town tomorrow to meet someone. Do you want to come with me?"
"Who are you meeting?" Bai Ze asked.
"Ding Xiangzhong," Jiang Wei said, "The governor of Danyang County, the hereditary Marquis of Weiyuan, is also the Marquis of Weiyuan of this generation."
"Ding Xiangzhong?" Bai Ze was stunned, "With your status, if you go to see Ding Xiangzhong, aren't you afraid that the court will deal with you?"
In the northern countries, most princes who are sent out of the capital will be given a title as a settlement. There are five levels of titles: Duke, Marquis, Uncle, Prince and Male. Generally speaking, most princes are Marquises, and their titles are hereditary. There are exceptions. Most of the people who are not favored have a banned title and are subject to the control of local officials when they are sent to the local area.
According to the law, any prince who is ennobled is not allowed to leave the fiefdom without special circumstances, let alone make friends with local officials.
Bai Ze didn't know what title Jiang Wei held, but to be honest, it was definitely not a good thing to meet Ding Xiangzhong so blatantly.
This Ding Xiangzhong was not only the Marquis of Weiyuan, but also the governor of Danyang County. He held real power in his hands, which was quite different from him, a prince who was majestic on the outside but had no real power behind his back.
"Since I dare to meet him, everything must have been arranged." Jiang Wei smiled, "Ding Xiangzhong's father, the previous Weiyuan Marquis, once practiced in Yunhai Xianmen. I met him this time, and it was okay. Uncle Master's instructions are fair and aboveboard, who can deal with me?"
"Then why did you drag me along?" Bai Ze asked.
"Suppressing the market." Jiang Wei smiled, "Didn't you say that I am a good-for-nothing prince with no real power in my hands, and I am afraid that I will be looked down upon by others. You are different. The future master of Siwang Peak, you come with me. , no one dares to look down on me, right?"
"There's nothing wrong with the eight characters." Bai Ze laughed, "It's as if you don't have enough talent at Tianzhu Peak."
"That's different." Jiang Wei smiled, "In the future, Tianzhu Peak will belong to Senior Brother, and I can't do it."
"Okay." Bai Ze thought for a while and said, "Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I will go with you. But I have agreed in advance that the town hall is fine. If there is trouble, I won't be too lazy to get involved."
"Don't worry." Jiang Wei said, "It's just a meeting, what kind of trouble can it cause? You don't have to worry about the mission. I have already arranged for someone to do it. If nothing happens, it will be completed in a few days."
"That's great!" Bai Ze said with a smile, "This time we can have fun everywhere."
"There's one more thing." Jiang Wei added, "I'll check it out for you about Zhao Weiyuan. The person behind it is Liu Qing."
"Liu Qing?" Bai Ze thought for a long time before he remembered this person, "Is it the one from Panlong Peak? It doesn't look like him."
"Anyway, be careful with him." Jiang Wei said, "I have already sent someone to warn Zhao Weiyuan. As long as he still has some brains, he will know that he has asked someone to borrow a knife for this matter. He should be careful in the future. He doesn’t pick trouble easily.”
"Am I still afraid of him?" When Bai Ze heard this, he didn't take it to heart at all.
"Liu Qing. I have nothing to do with this Liu Qing. Why is he trying to deal with me?" Bai Ze thought for a second and felt something was wrong. He glanced at Jiang Wei and suddenly realized, "Liu Qing, the Liu family! Damn it, senior brother, That's not kind! Tell me, do you have a quarrel with Liu? That guy doesn't dare to touch you, so he comes here to spite me?"
Jiang Wei just laughed, drank another glass of wine, got up and left.
"Let's go, I won't send you off." Jiang Wei took off his black robe, pushed the door open and went out.
"Hurry up, nothing will happen with you!" Bai Ze said, "First Liu Qing, then Cao Zong, and this time Ding Xiangzhong, please don't lead me into a ditch again."
Bai Ze made a joke, but he never expected that he would turn out to be a prophecy again.
Early the next morning, it was still raining.
Bai Ze and Jiang Wei greeted Pei Guoguo and Fang Sheng, saying they were going to the county town. When Pei Guoguo saw that it was raining, she didn't want to go out. Fang Sheng originally wanted to go along, but he asked Pei Guoguo to stay with her and didn't go.
So Jiang Wei called a carriage and went straight to the county town.
"Uncle Long, Mr. Bai Ze is gone, and you won't stop him." In the attic, Feng Ling'er leaned against the window and watched the carriage drive away from Qingshi Lane, with a lazy expression.
The swordsman in coir raincoat behind him remained silent.
"But that's fine." Feng Ling'er thought for a moment and then added, "I want to go to Weiyuan Hou Mansion, and the girl happens to be there too. Maybe these two people can meet each other, which saves a lot of effort."
The swordsman in coir raincoat behind him remained silent.
Pingan Town is forty miles away from the county town. It rained and the road was slippery. The driver did not dare to drive too fast. By the time Bai Ze and the two arrived at Danyang County Town, it was already noon.
"Walk?" Bai Ze asked.
"There's no rush." Jiang Wei said with a smile, "We're going to the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion. How can we get in empty-handed? Why don't we bring something with us, otherwise we'll eat and drink for free, which is embarrassing."
Bai Ze was dumbfounded, "I thought you were ready early in the morning! Did Senior Brother Ganqing remember to buy something when he arrived at the door of someone's house? It wouldn't be embarrassing if Marquis Weiyuan knew about it."
"Hehe, something is better than nothing." Jiang Wei said with a smile.
"What to buy?" Bai Ze held up an umbrella and got off the carriage.
"Look around." Jiang Wei said.
A county town is a county town after all, and the busiest place in Yunhai Xianmen is Fangshi. But Fang City is a city after all, not comparable to a city. The city roads extend in all directions. Even on a rainy day, there are many pedestrians on the streets. They are all decorated with silk embroidery and Zhu Ying treasures, and they look like gods.
Comparing this, Bai Ze and Jiang Wei's attire is not much different from that of villagers entering the city, they just have more dignity.
"Senior brother." Bai Ze wore two swords and looked at Jiang Wei with a half-smile, "When we enter the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, in addition to giving gifts, do we also need to dress like this?"
"That's natural." Jiang Wei said.
Bai Ze was satisfied.
Anyway, the expenses were all Jiang Wei's, so he didn't feel bad.
The two of them walked around the county town under umbrellas. They bought a new set of clothes and dressed up. When they left the store, they looked like handsome young men. They turned heads when they walked in the rainy alley.
After walking for a long time, Jiang Wei still didn't buy anything he wanted. As soon as the two of them put it together, they simply went to a restaurant to eat and drink. After they were full and full, they went on to go shopping.
Bai Ze already had some calculations in his mind.
Instead of buying gifts for Marquis Weiyuan, Jiang Wei, the fox, was clearly walking around to inspect the local customs and customs of Danyang County so that he could have a general understanding of Ding Xiangzhong.
And where is a better place to ask for information than a restaurant?
