Chapter 71 Seniors, Our Own People
The King of Medicine was very disappointed, but Shu'er's parents were very happy.
Seeing that Shu'er was completely fine, the man, with a look of relief, thanked Lu Wanyin earnestly: "Miss, you saved Shu'er despite past grudges. I will never forget your kindness."
He introduced himself respectfully, "I am Ren Mingyuan, the newly appointed magistrate of Qi County. I wonder if the three of you would come to my humble abode so that I can give you my reward."
It turned out to be the new county magistrate.
But this is not to the extent that Xie Jingci said that his identity is extraordinary. Obviously, this person has other identities.
Lu Wanyin looked at Ren Mingyuan carefully.
The man was thin and tall, wearing a half-worn robe of elegant and inconspicuous style.
But upon closer inspection, it is no ordinary item.
Her hair was tied up with a cyan ribbon, and she wore no expensive accessories.
This person looks low-key, but since he can promise a large sum of money at will, I'm afraid he is not a clean person.
But he is frank and does not pretend to be honest.
Lu Wanyin glanced at Xie Jingci, and from his eyes, she sensed that she could go, so she nodded and said, "Then let's go."
The crowd had already quietly dispersed when they heard that the person they were watching was the new county magistrate.
Only the Medicine King was still standing there.
He had met many dignitaries and officials, and he obviously did not take a county magistrate seriously.
Ren Mingyuan had no choice but to invite him: "Senior, do you want to join us?"
Medicine King was very interested in Lu Wanyin and immediately said, "Okay."
Lu Wanyin was speechless for a while.
He obviously wants to go, but he's pretending to be. This old man is quite interesting.
Mrs. Ren followed with Shu'er in her arms, while Ren Mingyuan introduced the shops along the way to Lu Wanyin and others.
He didn't even glance at Xie Jingci.
Lu Wanyin couldn't help but be surprised when she heard Ren Mingyuan's introduction.
He knew almost everything about how much all the shops had been exploited by the former county magistrate and how many owners had been forced to change.
He clearly said just now that he had just arrived!
Lu Wanyin asked curiously, "How come the County Magistrate Ren has only been in office for one day? He has such a deep understanding of Qi County?"
Ren Mingyuan's eyes were filled with an inexhaustible gloom. "The people are suffering terribly. I can hear everything just by walking down the street."
The more he understood the suffering of the people, the harder it was for him to let it go.
Lu Wanyin nodded.
Although Ren Mingyuan said it so lightly, there are more than a hundred shops on the road leading to the county government office alone.
Not to mention an entire county.
Ren Mingyuan can name so many shops by name, which shows that he really cares about Qi County.
Xie Jingci suddenly spoke up, "County Magistrate Ren, I have a few questions I'd like to ask you."
This was the first time Xie Jingci took the initiative to speak.
Ren Mingyuan then looked at him, but he didn't dare to look directly at him: "Sir, please ask."
So next, Xie Jingci asked a lot of questions.
They are issues concerning civil affairs, agriculture, prisons and litigation, etc.
Lu Wanyin heard it clearly. This person was not asking for advice at all. He was clearly asking questions to make things difficult for Ren Mingyuan.
But no matter how tricky the questions he asked were, Ren Mingyuan could answer them fluently.
We can even draw inferences from one example and derive more effective ideas.
Lu Wanyin knew in her heart that Ren Mingyuan was most likely Xie Jingci's man.
Very good, no wonder he agreed so readily when she asked him to clean up the shop.
It was indeed not a difficult task for him.
The Medicine King pulled Lu Wanyin aside and asked in a low voice, "Your husband knows quite a lot. I see you have extraordinary temperaments. Could it be that your family is also powerful?"
Lu Wanyin thought for a moment and said, "It was seven days ago, but not now."
The Medicine King was confused when he heard this: "What do you mean? Why not now?"
Lu Wanyin leaned close to Yao Wang's ear and whispered, "Because we broke the law, were exiled, and ran away secretly."
It was visibly apparent that the Medicine King's body had stiffened.
He stared at Lu Wanyin in amazement.
Who else was exiled seven days ago, besides the famous General Xie Jing, who else was there?
Lu Wanyin couldn't help laughing when she saw the Medicine King's expression.
She smiled and said, "Senior Medicine King, are you regretting your decision and want to take back your promise?"
The Medicine King stood there, his expression as troubled as if he was constipated.
In front, Xie Jingci saw Lu Wanyin and the other person suddenly stop, so he also stopped and waited for her.
Ren Mingyuan glanced at Lu Wanyin, didn't ask any more questions, and waited silently.
The Medicine King was really conflicted, and Lu Wanyin was just about to speak.
The Medicine King seemed to have made up his mind and said, "I have heard some of General Xie's affairs. I believe he is definitely wronged."
"oh"
Yao Wangxin looked around and confirmed that it was safe.
Cai Xin made up his mind and said to Lu Wanyin: "I have disciples all over the world, and many officials have received my kindness. I can help you escape..."
Lu Wanyin followed the King of Medicine's words and asked, "What are the conditions?"
The Medicine King touched his beard awkwardly and said, "It's not a condition. If possible, please introduce me to your master."
Lu Wanyin guessed that this was it. She felt that the Medicine King's temperament was very similar to hers.
Unfortunately, she really couldn't do this.
Lu Wanyin waved her hand: "No, no, my master is everywhere, and I can't find him."
The Medicine King was disappointed again.
But after being disappointed, he still said: "If you don't want to see me, then don't see me. I'm a man of my words and will help you escape from prison!"
Ren Mingyuan looked over and felt that the Medicine King was looking at him with a somewhat unfriendly look.
Medicine King said, "When we get to the county government office, I'll help you knock him out. Then you can run. I have a disciple in Jingyuanzhou next door who's very good at disguises and can help you evade capture."
Lu Wanyin originally just wanted to tease the Medicine King, but when she heard that he could change his appearance, she became interested.
"Senior, let's talk while we walk."
The group arrived at the county government office without realizing it.
Ren Mingyuan asked his wife to take the little girl back to her room, and led Lu Wanyin and others to the main room.
He first instructed the steward to get the silver, and then thanked them solemnly.
Lu Wanyin supported Ren Mingyuan's elbow as he was about to bow again: "I've taken the money, and we're even. You don't have to keep bowing."
Medicine King said, "That's right, what's the point of paying respects here and there? It would be better to treat us with some good wine and delicious food."
Obviously, the King of Medicine couldn't wait any longer.
Lu Wanyin had no choice but to stand beside the Medicine King and watch out for him to prevent him from really knocking Ren Mingyuan unconscious.
Ren Mingyuan was reminded by the Medicine King and said, "I was negligent. Please wait a moment."
After giving instructions to the kitchen, they sat down.
As soon as the door closed, Ren Mingyuan immediately knelt before Xie Jingci and said, "Your humble servant greets you, General! It was difficult for me to recognize you just now because of the large crowd. Please forgive me, General."
Lu Wanyin raised her eyebrows, and sure enough, she guessed right.
Ren Mingyuan was worried about Shu'er at first and didn't see Xie Jingci in the crowd.
Later, his attitude changed so firmly because Lu Wanyin saw Xie Jingci when she was about to leave.
"Girl..."
The King of Medicine also looked at Lu Wanyin doubtfully, asking him with his eyes whether he still wanted to give him the medicine.
After all, anyone who could kneel down and pay respect to Xie Jingci, an exile, was obviously not a corrupt official who could not tell right from wrong.
Lu Wanyin suppressed a smile and said, "Senior, we are one of us."
Seeing this, Ren Mingyuan took the initiative to explain: "Five years ago, the general showed me kindness. If it weren't for the general's secret promotion, I would still be a poor scholar."
The Medicine King heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this and said, "You little girl, why didn't you tell me earlier? I've already prepared the medicine."
I didn't see clearly when he prepared it, but this King of Medicine really lives up to his reputation.
