Qingxing came back crying.
Fu Bai went down to pick her up. As soon as he arrived at the wing, Qing Xing knelt down and said, "Miss, Chen Wang was captured by the government."
Xu Wanning comforted her: "Explain what is going on."
Qingxing explained the matter clearly from beginning to end, and Fubai cursed: "It turns out it's these four bastards."
"you know?"
Fubai shook his head: "I don't know them, but I've heard of them. There are four young masters in the northern district of the city. The leader should be Guo Yun, the youngest son of Guo Qirui, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites. The others are following. The little Luo Luo behind his butt can’t even be ranked.”
The right minister of the Ministry of Rites is a third-rank official. Looking at the entire Kyoto, apart from the royal relatives, relatives and aristocratic families, he is also a very important figure.
No wonder when Qingxing asked for help from the people around her, those people didn't even dare to look at her.
Hongmei hugged Qingxing and cried: "So what if they are the children of officials? Doesn't the government care about molesting a good woman in broad daylight?"
Fubai shook his head: "The four districts have been divided according to their hierarchical status. Each district has top-notch people, officials of the third rank. Do you think the county government dares to take care of it?"
No one dares to offend ordinary people. The county government is even a seventh-rank official, and they don't dare to offend the children of third-rank officials.
"But don't worry, go find Mr. Pei for help, and Mrs. Pei will be rescued after a sip of tea." Fubai said proudly.
The master treated Miss Xu unusually. He sent people over to help her, and it wasn’t just drizzle.
Xu Wanning shook her head: "No, there's no use in killing a chicken with a bull's-eye. Let's go find Mr. Wang."
Chengnan District County Government.
Wang Xingmin is familiar with all the affairs in the yamen and listens to the reports from his subordinates. When he heard that Xu Wanning came to see him, he immediately ignored his affairs, got dressed, smoothed his hair, and went to meet people with a smile on his face.
My subordinates, you look at me and I look at you. Those who are brave are already guessing.
"What is Miss Xu's background? From the looks of it, she seems to be very interested in you!"
"Could it be that we are in love?"
"It's not impossible. Have you heard that the person in jail last time was a relative of Duke Wei, and he was arrested because he offended Miss Xu?"
"Isn't this called being angry for beauty?"
"Ha ha."
Wang Xingmin didn't know that the people behind him were discussing him, so he went to see his nobleman in high spirits.
The person who can take him flying is nothing but a noble person.
"Miss Xu." When Wang Xingmin saw Xu Wanning, he showed his eight teeth first. Seeing that she was still standing without even a cup of tea, he immediately scolded the servants with a dark face: "Miss Xu is here, and she doesn't even have a cup of tea. Is that so? Why don’t you go make tea quickly and use the best tea.”
"Yes. I'll go right away, slave."
The servant took another look at Xu Wanning and took note of her appearance. He knew that this person had an unusual relationship with the Lord, so he must not neglect her next time.
The two chatted casually for a few words, and Wang Xingmin said, "Miss Xu, are you busy? I haven't seen him for a while."
Xu Wanning: "My father is here?"
"No, I came here every other day before." Wang Xingmin said with a smile: "Ask me what I need when I come to the capital. What can I lack? I don't lack anything. Your father is so polite."
"You have helped me so much, and my father wants to thank you." Xu Wanning said matter-of-factly.
Not just dad, but mom too.
"Welcome is welcome." Wang Xingmin chuckled: "Just don't bring anything. There are regulations here. Our officials cannot accept gifts and money at will, which will cause problems. I can't tell your father clearly, so I can only ask you to convey it on your behalf. .”
Wang Xingmin cherishes his feathers very much. He finally rose from a local official to a capital official. With Pei Heng as his backer, Wang Xingmin is still young, has a delicate heart and the ability to do things. He thinks that he can still go up. Climb a few steps.
Besides, he doesn’t dare to accept things from the Xu family, even if he accepts them from anyone else. If the Governor finds out, he did the work and got the kickbacks, he’s afraid he will be kicked into some nook and cranny. .
"It's all thanks to you that I can come to Chengnan District to be the county magistrate. How dare I ask for your things!" This is what Wang Xingmin thought and said.
No way, who asked the Xu family to live in this area? If she lived in the east of the city, she would definitely be the county magistrate in the east of the city.
Xu Wanning was stunned: "What does Mr. Wang mean?"
Only then did Wang Xingmin realize that he had spilled the beans, and he was busy chattering and saying something else: "That's right, that's right. Miss Xu came to see me. Is there something wrong?"
Xu Wanning straightened up and told the story exactly.
Wang Xingmin stood up quickly: "This is easy to handle. I will go to the county government office in the north of the city and bring Mr. Chen back."
"Thank you very much, Mr. Wang."
"Thank you." Wang Xingmin waved his hand: "I will send Miss Xu out. Just go home and wait, and I will send you home intact."
Wang Xingmin was going out to do errands, so he happened to see Xu Wanning at the door.
The two people were walking and talking. Wang Xingmin bowed his body slightly and lowered his head to talk to Xu Wanning. Looking at his humble and submissive appearance, he looked very much like some patients with "strict hepatic control".
Many police officers and clerks saw the comings and goings of the entire county government, whispering to each other, speculating on the relationship between Xu Wanning and Wang Xingmin.
Fubai has sharp ears, and even the smallest sounds cannot escape his ears.
"I'm afraid it won't be long before the county government office will need more than one mistress."
"Didn't you send someone to pick up your wife and children?"
"It's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Besides, who wouldn't like such a beautiful girl?"
Fubai: "..." What's going on? The master's competitor has another old man?
A young and immature one just left, and an old and frail one came?
This person...
Fubai's eyes fell on Wang Xingmin and he looked up and down for a long time.
In the end, he came to the conclusion that nothing could compare to his master.
Wang Xingmin put the person on the carriage and felt a line of sight falling on him. It was a young and heroic young man. The cold look in his eyes made hair run down his spine.
It looks familiar, but not much.
But he can't care about that much anymore, he still has to go to the north of the city to save people.
Wang Xingmin did not go to find Pei Heng, but took a sedan chair directly to the north of the city.
This is a trivial matter, and Wang Xingmin admits that he can solve it.
When the concierge came in to announce the news, Wang Xingmin stood at the door of the Chengbei County Government Office, looking at the door that was slightly more upscale than the Chengnan County Government Office, with many thoughts.
The county magistrate of Chengbei District, whose surname is Ren Pingwei, has been sleeping in the north of the city for so many years without moving. He was jokingly called by local people and officials "I am mediocre and inactive, but I will remain unmoved." He was said to be incompetent and useless. He had been the county magistrate of the north of the city for more than ten years, and he had not moved a single person.
But when Governor Pei told Wang Xingmin about this person, he gave an extraordinary explanation.
