Chapter 127 I'm still angry today
The servant boy was choked and dared not speak.
Cheng Nianying didn't care. She just felt that it was just as Yin Heng said, the civil and military were not in harmony, too much so!
Although they sent people, they came reluctantly.
The general withdrew his gaze from Cheng Nianying and continued, "I serve as a training officer under the commander of the army."
Training envoy.
Cheng Nianying had heard it from Fu Yi.
He is the local chief who is responsible for militia affairs and also handles some defense affairs, and has real power.
After hearing this, Yin Heng knew that this was not neglect, and immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, Commander Jiang."
"I will follow you into the city. If no one threatens your life, I will return immediately to report. Although Shezhou is peaceful and without fighting, I cannot waste time here with you. Neglecting official duties is a serious crime."
"Okay, then please..."
"Wait a minute." Commander Jiang raised his chin towards Cheng Nianying. "Your Excellency, you brought a lover with you when you took office?"
Yin Heng's face darkened and he said unhappily, "She is the guard I hired. The commander shouldn't make such presumptuous assumptions."
When Jiang Tuanlianshi heard this, he didn't take it seriously, nor did he like Yin Heng's attitude. He sneered and said, "Since we already have guards, why do we need to come to the commander?"
Yin Heng's face turned pale and he was about to speak.
Cheng Nianying asked crisply, "How many people can you kill in the army?"
Commander Jiang glanced at her and said, "Seventeen or eighteen people." He could not hide his pride in his tone.
"I can, too. But what about more?"
Jiang Tuanlianshi naturally didn't believe the first half of her sentence, and he was not in the mood to answer the second half.
"I can't kill seventy or eighty people in one breath, and neither can you. That's why I invited you here. I'm not inviting you here, but the countless soldiers behind you."
Cheng Nianying was not afraid of the nobles she met in the capital before, so why would she be afraid of him?
Seeing that Jiang Tuanlianshi remained silent, she asked again crisply, "Am I wrong?"
Yin Heng affirmed: "She is right."
Jiang Tuanlianshi chuckled: "Okay, okay, let's go."
I don’t know what he was thinking, but he didn’t say anything else.
In this way, several people stepped into the city gate of Wei Yang.
When Cheng Nianying vaguely thought that she had returned to Kuizhou, Weiyang County was also peaceful, and there was no sign that there was anyone hiding here who wanted to kill Yin Heng.
They walked all the way to the gate of the county government office. The official at the gate was dozing off, holding a water and fire stick, looking quite lazy. This made people feel that something was wrong.
The servant boy was the first to say angrily, "How could you be so derelict in your duty?"
The sound woke the officer, who slowly stood up, exhaling two puffs of air from his nose: "Where did this fool come from?"
"What fool? The new county magistrate is here." the servant shouted.
The official's expression changed, perhaps because he had heard before that the new magistrate was about to take up his post. He immediately led the man inside and said, "I apologize for my negligence. I beg you, magistrate, to be magistrate and forgive me for once."
Cheng Nianying followed him in and looked around. The structure of the local government office that Fu Yi had told her came to her mind.
"Please show us your official documents for taking up your post." The official laughed awkwardly.
This time Yin Heng had experience, so he just held it in his hand for him to see and didn't let him touch it.
The official nodded repeatedly and said, "I will report this to the county magistrate. No, on behalf of the county magistrate."
Before Yin Heng took office, someone else took over.
The official took two steps forward, then suddenly remembered something, turned back and paused, saying, "It wasn't that I was being lazy, but rather that Weiyang is governed very well, with no backlog of cases. I simply had nothing to do."
Is it okay here? Cheng Nianying blinked slowly.
The officer quickly turned around and disappeared behind the door.
Soon, several old men came out and hurriedly bowed: "Greetings, Master Weng!"
"I failed to greet Master Weng in time. Please forgive me, Master Weng."
Cheng Nianying took half a step back.
Why is it "Lord Weng"?
Officials of all ranks from the local county government surrounded Yin Henghao and greeted him warmly.
Seeing that it was getting dark, the county lieutenant asked Yin Heng to rest first and they would welcome him the next day.
"I don't see anything wrong with Wei Yang. Isn't everyone here very warm to you?" Jiang Tuanlianshi said with his arms folded.
Yin Heng ignored him. After entering the courtyard, he turned around and apologized to Cheng Nianying: "The name I told you before was my real name. This is just an alias."
Cheng Nianying actually didn't really care.
She took the silver and left.
Yin Heng continued, "I come from a good family. Precisely because of my good family background, even if I hold an official title, most of my subordinates flatter me, but no one is willing to ask me to do anything practical. This will never work. If this continues, even the largest family will not be able to survive."
"I was feeling depressed at the time, and I mentioned it to my friends at the banquet, but unfortunately, Prince Danshuo heard it..."
Cheng Nianying:?
Why is he everywhere!
"He told me that it would be better if no one knew who I was."
"So after that, I discussed it with my family and temporarily changed my surname to my mother's. This way, the local officials wouldn't be able to tell where I came from."
"Miss Jiang?"
"Miss Jiang is angry?"
Cheng Nianying then paid some attention to him: "Why should I be angry with you?"
"Actually, I was also wondering whether Miss Jiang was also walking among the people under an alias? But I can't imagine what kind of family would be so cruel as to leave Miss Jiang alone outside." Yin Heng said again.
Cheng Nianying didn't answer, but just spread out her hands: "Silver."
Yin Heng quickly called out to the servant: "Hurry!"
He then handed over a heavy bag.
Cheng Nianying opened her mouth and took a look: "It's too much."
Yin Heng didn't expect to be exposed so quickly. He quickly said, "Yes, I should give you more. I also think it would be better for the girl to take the silver and leave. The Weiyang incident is full of mystery, so I won't involve the girl. It also prevents some blind people from mistakenly thinking that the girl is close to me."
Jiang Tuanlian's men had not left yet, and he couldn't help but snort heavily outside the door.
They say he is blind!
Cheng Nianying: "Yeah."
She tightened the brocade bag, picked it up in her hand and left.
Yin Heng looked at her back.
She had a slender figure, but she could walk very fast while carrying two large bags on her back.
Jiang Tuanlianshi frowned slightly. He did seem to have some skills. But the talk of killing eight or ten people still sounded like a lie!
…
After Cheng Nianying left the county government office, she temporarily found an inn to stay in.
At dawn the next day, she went to a brokerage firm to rent a house. She planned to stay here for half a month before heading to Heqing. This way, she would have enough time to make it impossible for the Danshuo County King to send anyone to guard the place.
Of course, the best thing would be that everything is fine in the imperial capital now, and Qin Yurong has been able to get away with it.
Cheng Nianying quickly picked out a suitable place, a one-room apartment with good lighting, complete furniture, and a shared yard with the neighbors. This was considered relatively cheap, costing five strings of cash a month.
One guan of coins equaled one thousand wen, and ordinary people only spent twenty wen a day. It was still too expensive.
Cheng Nianying couldn't help but think about how to make a living in the future.
It is not realistic for the Wuning Marquisate to support her.
After putting her things away, Cheng Nianying went out for a stroll on the street, wanting to see if there was anything she could do.
"Embroidery, laundry, being a teacher for others, working as a maid in other people's homes, these are probably the jobs that can be done." The pawnbroker said to her.
"Otherwise, it's some low-class business." The man looked her up and down. "Are you willing to do it?"
Cheng Nianying knew what he was talking about and walked away with a cold face.
Why are there so few things women can do?
Is there nothing else you can do besides being a killer?
She strolled back into the house.
As soon as I opened the lock and pushed the door open, I felt something was wrong.
The marks on the ground are wrong.
Someone had disturbed the mud on the ground.
She immediately bent down and dug up the ground again, separating the hidden silver Wuyou had, as well as the monthly allowance and miscellaneous items taken from the Prince's Mansion... they were all there.
There was also a piece of calligraphy thrown casually aside, all wrinkled.
She picked it up, slowly smoothed it out, and then folded it.
When I went to look for the golden headdress that King Liang had given me... it was gone.
Is there a thief?
Being a thief is even worse than being a killer.
She had no place to stay before and had little money. If she wasn't at home, she would be running around outside all day. She never thought that one day a thief would dare to steal from her.
A surge of anger rose from Cheng Nianying's chest. She had never been this angry when Fu Yi went too far before.
Is this what the official said, that Weiyang is governed very well?
What's good!
She turned and walked out, kicking the fence set up by the neighbor in the yard. She walked a few steps to the door and kicked it open: "Come out."

Prince's Mansion.
When Fu Yi was about to go to a banquet, Nanny Shi started to choose a waist ornament for him.
"Wait." Fu Yi pushed away the people around him.
He took out a brightly colored purse from the box.
That was thrown in casually earlier.
At that time, he asked the Princess to make a purse by herself, but she found someone to do it for her and made this thing.
There’s no need to keep this thing… Fu Yi took a light from the candle and threw it into the stove.
After clearing out the things, he suddenly remembered: "Where are all the things that the Princess collected earlier?"
"Still in Youhuangyuan." The maid answered timidly.
Fu Yi responded with "hmm" and was not in a hurry to leave. He turned around and went to Youhuang Courtyard and began to count everything one by one.
Wu Xun was anxious: "Master, aren't we leaving yet?"
"She didn't take anything with her." Fu Yi said in an unclear tone.
Wu Xun was stunned for a moment, then quickly picked up his master's words: "Didn't the master take her to the private vault to look at it before..."
Fu Yi waved his hand and asked someone to check.
After a while, the man came back and reported: "Nothing is missing."
Wu Xun couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't even take anything with me."
"It's not like she didn't bring anything..." Fu Yi's face showed a faint smile, "She took the ink stick I gave her and a piece of calligraphy."
"Character?"
"Like flowers and leaves, they share the spring breeze year after year."
"I wrote it to her."
"I gave them all to her." Fu Yi emphasized his pronunciation slightly.
Wu Xun thought, "Maybe it was burned." But the words were on the tip of his tongue, and he almost didn't say them.
"She wants to leave, is it because she can't stay in the Prince's Mansion, or because she is determined to make room for the relatives she has finally found?" Fu Yi said slowly.
Wu Xun heard the difference between the two.
But there doesn't seem to be much difference.
Because no matter how you look at it, it seems that the prince is not as important as others.
Wu Xun didn't dare to say anything.
"Close them all." Fu Yi said, then stood up.
The servants responded and went to close the lid of the box.
Fu Yi suddenly remembered something: "Do you remember what King Liang gave her?"
Wu Xun: "It seems... it's a set of golden headgear, with a dress underneath..."
Wu Xun twisted his neck stiffly and blurted out, "Did they take them all away?"
He didn't dare to look at his master's face for a moment.
