Chapter 31 Accident ([-])

However, Shen Ji almost didn't know anything about it. Mazhi County also sent a master to ask about it. This matter is causing a lot of trouble now, and if it continues like this, he will be a little bit overwhelmed.Moreover, his term of office is about to expire, and he doesn't want trouble to arise out of thin air at this time.

Shen Ji hesitated whether to show the master and Mr. Pei what Aunt Wei gave her.In the end, she still didn't take it out, and Aunt Wei insisted that this was more important than her personal safety, and even if she wanted to take it out, she should wait for Wei Ying to make the decision.So she just begged Mr. Pei and the master to ask Mazhi County for accommodation for a few days, saying that Guy Hu had found Wei Ying and informed him of the matter, and he was rushing back.

Mr. Pei thought about it, and he really couldn't tell Sister Ji about this matter, she didn't know anything.It would be a pity if Wei Ying's imperial examination path was cut off.Thinking about the people in the academy who were instigated by Wang Hao to write together, they sighed secretly, Mu Xiuyu Lin Feng would definitely destroy them.Now, besides getting rid of his fame and failing to qualify for the imperial examination, Wei Ying has to bear the punishment of pretending to be a good citizen to participate in the imperial examination.Even if Ma Zhixian was merciful and spared him from being imprisoned, then he would be reduced from a juren to the son of a slave, and his life path would be very difficult.

"It's okay for me to ask the county magistrate to procrastinate, but if I can't produce evidence to refute this matter, Wei Ying's future is still worrying."

Shen Ji was also worried. She didn't know that this matter was so serious, but Fatty Hu had told him one by one in the past two days.Moreover, Mr. Hu is not willing for his son to run away for a classmate who is the son of a fugitive slave.Before, he approved of his son's friendship with Wei Ying because he was a Juren.But now that this incident has happened, it is not worth spending money to run for it.

It was found in Mazhi County that the person who arrived was the servant of the Wei family in Huaiyang. The Wei family in Huaiyang is a century-old family, a scholarly family, and many children are officials in the court, watching and helping each other.How could he, a small county magistrate, be able to offend him.If it affects his promotion this time, it will be troublesome.Mr. Pei came to ask him to give him a few days' grace, but he finally agreed to give him seven days because Mr. Pei is a great Confucian in the county and has taught many talented students.

But the people from Huaiyang Wei's family have not left yet, it looks like they are waiting to take Wei Ying away.According to the law, he is the son of a slave, and he is a slave at birth, that is, the so-called family-born son. If the master's family does not show mercy to them for a day, then their descendants will be family-born slaves for generations to come.

Shen Ji lived in Hu's house, because of Fatty Hu's persistence and her good cooking skills, she was not kicked out.In Master Hu's view, Shen Ji has already redeemed himself, and has nothing to do with Wei's mother and son, and his son insisted on keeping her, so she let him go.Anyway, the Wei family in Huaiyang didn't mean to embarrass this little girl.

Shen Ji works under the cook's hand in Fatty Hu's courtyard. She knows that she must never steal other people's jobs, and the other party has unique things to learn from, so she is very careful in her actions.Besides, she had no intention of staying in the Hu family as a cook, and she didn't even want to sign the deed of life or death, so she just served as a helper, and she also contributed a few special dishes to let the cook show the limelight, and she didn't divide the rewards.Usually, he doesn't go to Fatty Hu, so as not to cause dissatisfaction with the big girls around him.

The servants of the Hu family saw that she was sensible, so they didn't make things difficult for her after the initial suspicion.In the dead of night, Shen Ji stayed alone in the place Caijuan pointed out to her as a temporary residence, and after thinking about it, he decided to open the small package hidden next to his body.There are 35 taels of silver bills that she saved herself, 30 taels of money from Aunt Wei, and about five taels of silver. The total is 70 taels, which is the result of her three or four years of hard work.She didn't dare to leave her body when she was eating or sleeping, and even when she took a bath, she put it within reach of sight.Because of being cautious, no one knew that she was carrying a "huge sum of money" for a while.

Instead of looking at the silver, she took the red cloth bag that Aunt Wei asked to hand over to Wei Ying. She couldn't help but opened one layer to see, and there was actually another layer inside.Do you want to see it?

In fact, speaking of it, this matter has nothing to do with her, and her contract of prostitution has been torn up long ago.Fortunately, the mother and son of the Wei family agreed to her redemption, otherwise she would also be involved at this time.A servant of a servant is even more a servant of the master's family.

To see, or not to see?

Shen Ji finally wrapped it up again, she has no interest in this matter, and she has no right to check Wei Ying's things.She will do her best to help him, but her strength is undoubtedly insignificant before social rules.Now we can only hope that Wei Ying can find a way.

Mr. Pei begged to learn that the county promised to delay as much as possible, and then went to the school to persuade his students.

In the spirit of respecting the teacher, everyone listened to him patiently at the beginning. When they heard him say that the magistrate agreed to delay for a few days until Wei Ying came back, several people looked at Wang Hao.

Wang Hao's head was lowered, and there was a hint of ferocity on his delicate face, he adjusted his expression before raising his head: "Sir, it is too much to favor Wei Ying, he is the son of a servant, and he is not even qualified to study or teach. To actually participate in the imperial examination with me, isn't this a shame for me."

Mr. Pei said angrily: "Wang Hao, where have you read the way of forgiveness taught by the sage? It's only been a few days, why do you have to put people to death before you stop?"

"The law is like this, it's not because the students deliberately make things difficult."

"The magistrate has promised to forgive me for a few days, are you still aggressive?"

Someone beside him persuaded softly: "Wang Hao, how can you say that Mr. Pei is also my husband, so let's give him face. It's only a few days, no matter how powerful Wei Ying is, can he still change his background?"

The two parties reached an agreement that Wang Hao and others would no longer go to class to strike, and Mr. Pei stayed in the county, anxiously waiting for Wei Ying to come back.That was all he could do.

The matter is not directly related to Shen Ji, but the Wei family mother and son can be said to be her closest people in this world.Although he bought her as a slave, he never treated her harshly.Therefore, she was extremely anxious about this matter.However, Fatty Hu didn't have any good news either.All they can do is to ask the county magistrate to wait for a few days until Wei Ying comes back.But how it will end after returning, no one can say.The biggest possibility is that Wei Ying may really be expelled from the academic record, and even if she leaves the university in the future, she will not be allowed to enter the examination room again.

That day Shen Ji was helping in the small kitchen, Cai Juan rushed over and called her, "Sister Ji, come with me, the young master wants to see you."

Did things change again? She quickly washed her hands, took off her apron, and followed the colored silk.

Fatty Hu was about to go out, and when he saw her, he said, "Come with me to the county government. I heard that people from the Wei family in Huaiyang put pressure on my uncle, asking him to get rid of Wei Ying immediately."

Ah, why do you have to kill people?

Fatty Hu said: "I don't think this matter is simple, maybe there will be a turning point."

Shen Jimo touched the things hidden next to his body, and quickly followed behind Fatty Hu.He rode a horse, and she got into an unremarkable carriage, and both rushed to the county government office.Because Fatty Hu is a nephew, he went in without a hitch.
