For Wang Ningzhi, life has not changed much.

I got up early in the morning, washed and ate, joked with my wife, and then followed Huan'er to run and exercise with the students. After everything was done, I went to my parents to sign up for good morning, and I took my own ox cart to work in the county town. My life was regular and rhythmic, but it was not as busy as I was in my previous life.

At least, he likes this kind of life very much.

There are conspiracies and tricks in being an official, but it is okay to be careful. Although the Wang family of Langya is gradually declining, they are still able to seek peace for Wang Ningzhi. They can scare people when they are put on their bodies. What's more, he has killed people, not only killing refugees, but also killing Taoists. At least in the eyes of some famous scholars, he directly ignores his so-called "evolution" remarks. The focus is often his reputation, which is a reputation that has emerged.

Bad reputation.

The officials of the county magistrate's office were afraid of him, let alone others... Otherwise, it would be impossible for Yixing Xu's family to destroy him. Without the evidence, it was directly attributed to him.

Sima Yi was also in the county magistrate's mansion today, as if he knew that Yangzhou Governor Li Linghuai was coming to interrogate Wang Ningzhi, and came here specifically for this.

"Thanks to explain the specific matters yesterday, otherwise I would have a lot of headaches today." After hearing the words of Sima Yi and Li Yong, Wang Ningzhi was stunned. Unexpectedly, Li Linghuai wanted to investigate him and could use his power to force him to relax for the time being. I really didn't expect this, but he looked unhurried and responded with a smile or two.

Sima Yi waved his hand and asked Li Yong to leave, and then said to Wang Ningzhi: "Don't worry, Li Linghuai has a low background. If he still has self-knowledge, he should know the right way. Shuping only needs to treat it as a few days off... I seem to have heard that the Liu family in Nanyang proposed marriage to the Wang family, but is there any such thing?"

"It's true that my father has contacted him, and he has made a marriage contract. After a while, he will get married." After a rough explanation, Wang Ningzhi frowned, "Li Linghuai is the brother of Li Lingrong, the princess of Kuaiji. Our Wang family has always had a good relationship with him. I think they really don't need to target me, but it's a bit strange. Li Linghuai was still in Lujiang a few days ago, but now he has a clear goal to come to Kuaiji. It happened that the Xu family's extermination case happened. I'm afraid there is a deep meaning."

"Maybe Shuping thought too much. Yixing Xu family was a big family after all. After all, they were suddenly destroyed. Although they were not suppressed, they were enough to warn some families. Since this is the case, Li Linghuai could not ignore it."

"Oh..." Wang Ningzhi shrugged, "Maybe."

...

After listening to the disaster relief report, talking to Sima Yi for a while, a servant ran over and said that Li Ling was in a hurry.

Two people went out to greet them.

Wang Ningzhi was really not arrogant, and he was a senior official, so there was no problem going out to greet him. Sima Yi followed him out indifferently and walked out of the county magistrate's mansion along the small path. He saw a rather simple ox cart, and an official was standing outside the ox cart.

Apart from some guards, there were no extra people around Li Linghuai. He was not very good-looking and had a little dark skin. If he hadn't been wearing the costumes of the governor, he would have been regarded as an old farmer.

Wang Ningzhi and Sima Yi went over to say hello to him. Through his first impression, he felt that this person was not simple, but he was just kind-hearted and said, "I didn't expect that Li Jun came so early, please go inside and take a rest."

Li Linghuai was not as condescending as a villain. Facing the Wang family and the King of Langya, he was very polite and cautious in his speech. He hurriedly responded not to be aware of it. He followed Wang Ningzhi and the others in and waited for the host and guest to sit down. Li Linghuai explained his purpose: "I know it is a bit abrupt for me to come here, so please don't be surprised. I have investigated in Yixing County yesterday. This time I came to Kuaiji to confirm the death of the refugee Shuai Puxiang. Of course, I did not doubt it, but my duty was lies. Yesterday, I also sent someone to explain it to Shuping yesterday, so I won't say much about it here... The time of the tragedy of the family of the Yixing Xu family and the death of the Kuaiji County prison was very coincidental. Some people suspected that there was something wrong with it, and Shuping happened to be some connection with both, so in order to avoid suspicion..."

"I understand, I'll have a proper holiday." Wang Ningzhi nodded, "His Highness Langya is quite familiar with Kuaiji, and the envoy can be accompanied by His Highness."

"I came for this." Sima Yi said, "I heard some rumors recently, saying that someone deliberately wanted to slander Shuping the real murderer of the Xu family massacre. However, Shuping was recommended by me as an official, and his character and virtue are all top-notch. You know, it is not good for me to recommend it inappropriately, so I will participate, Ling Huai doesn't mind?"

"No... I don't mind. If Your Highness can participate, the case will be more fair." Li Linghuai obviously did not expect that the King of Langya would participate, but he, who was a lowly person, could get into the position of governor, and could understand Sima Yi's profound meaning. Therefore, after a brief thought, he said, "It's urgent. If Your Highness has nothing else, can we start?"

"Do as you said." Sima Yi glanced at Wang Ningzhi and smiled slightly, "As for Shuping, just take a vacation and take a few days off."

...

The ox cart was walking on the road, and the curtain was pulled up a little, and Sun Tai frowned.

This is the way to the Zhou family's seclusion site. Only through the gaps in the car curtains, you can see the Taoist genius walking outside. The Taoist robe is not gorgeous. He walks on foot and is carrying a basket of herbs on his back. It is obviously not a Taoist genius in Shangqing School, but even Sun Tai cannot guess what his identity is.

Not long after, the ox cart stopped outside the farm. He got out of the car and knocked on the door. After a while, a servant opened the door. After he revealed his identity, he led him in.

In a well-decorated courtyard, under the trees, Zhang Lu was sitting on the soft couch, with a young and beautiful woman in her arms. She looked pale and her skin was much rosy. She was pinching pastries with her slender fingers and feeding them to Zhang Lu's mouth. When she saw Sun Tai suddenly came in, her hands shook and almost threw them away.

Zhang Lu hurriedly comforted the woman and asked her to go back to the room first, then he said to Sun Tai: "Why, Li Ling is in Kuaiji?"

"The news just arrived in the morning. In order to avoid suspicion, Wang Shuping would be at home leisure. He couldn't take care of the matters of the county magistrate's office." Sun Tai said lightly, without sitting down, and stood in front of Zhang Lu, staring at Zhang Lu, "Obviously, you don't plan to listen to my words, but be careful if you can."

"Jingyuan is too cautious. Even though Wang Shuping is terrible, he has to avoid suspicion. What else can I worry about?" Zhang Lu smiled and waved his hand, pointing at the pastry and said, "Yunniang just made it, sit down and taste it?"

"No need, I'm back." Turning around and walking to the entrance of the courtyard, Sun Tai stopped again and said, "There are Taoists nearby. They look like the Taoist in Qixia Guan. I'm afraid they are Wang Shuping's eyes and ears. Please pay attention."
