The governor never expected that the person who proposed the solution would be the exiled prisoner!
This is unexpected again!
"What crime have you committed? Where are you going?" The governor was thinking in his heart whether he could keep Ji Changying here and use him for their purposes.
"We are Ji Bohui's people and we are going to Liangzhou."
As soon as Ji Bohui's name came out, the governor Xin Zhongyuan stood up from his chair.
"Ji Bohui?! Are you from his tribe?"
The shock on Xin Zhongyuan's face was too obvious. Ji Changying nodded, not understanding why he reacted so strongly.
"I didn't expect it! You are actually the teacher's clansmen!" Yuan Sixian's legs went weak.
The teacher's people have become like this now. He was so short-sighted that he thought they were beggars!
The Chief Secretary was also very sad. He didn't expect that the people he had met before were actually Lord Ji's relatives.
Xin Zhongyuan gave Yuan Sixian a look, knowing that it was not convenient to talk here, and the two fell silent.
Changshi's attitude towards Ji Changying was much better: "It's getting late and you must be tired. I'll have someone arrange a room for you next to those two. Rest up and wait for the news to come back."
Ji Changying naturally wouldn't refuse such a kind offer: "Then find someone to go to the inn and inform my family so they don't worry."
Yuan Sixian said excitedly: "No problem, tell me where the inn is!"
Ji Changying glanced at Yuan Sixian. She heard what he had just said.
Since I have some relationship with Ji family, I shouldn't make things difficult for them, right?
Ji Changying told him the name and address.
"I promise to deliver the message!"
Yuan Sixian looked serious.
The Chief Secretary waited for Ji Changying to finish speaking before calling a servant to take her downstairs to rest.
As soon as she left, the governor waved his hand and said, "Everyone, go back and rest!"
"yes!"
After hearing what their boss had said, the others left with peace of mind.
Yuan Sixian was about to go out to look for someone with an excited look on his face when he was stopped by the governor.
At this moment, there were only four people in the room: the governor, the chief secretary, Yuan Sixian and Li Manyuan.
The governor sighed inwardly but did not forget to remind Yuan Sixian: "Be careful! You and Master Ji have no official relationship as master and disciple. Moreover, now that something like this has happened, you should be more careful with your words. This is a crime of disrespect!"
Yuan Sixian was very emotional. "Although Master Ji and I don't have the title of master and disciple, if it weren't for Master Ji's guidance, I might still be failing the exam every year! If it weren't for Master Ji clearing my name, I would have been falsely accused by a villain and had my fame and honor taken away! For such great kindness, it is not an exaggeration for me to call you teacher!"
Xin Zhongyuan was so angry at his lack of understanding that he slammed the table. "Didn't I tell you not to shout? I told you not to shout in front of others! Others wouldn't have time to hide when faced with this, but you kept going forward."
"I don't know about others, but I absolutely trust Lord Ji. I just didn't expect the emperor to be so cruel this time..."
"Alright! Don't let me hear such disrespectful words again, or I won't be able to save you even if I have ten heads!"
Yuan Sixian knew he had spoken out of turn: "In short, I believe that Lord Ji's case is not that simple. You see, Lord Ji's clansmen were not subjected to tattooing, which shows that the emperor still left a way out."
Xin Zhongyuan looked at the chief secretary and said, "Once the results from the field come out, you should stamp them. Then, as usual, prepare some water and dry food. You should also prepare some other things as well. After all, there are so many people!"
Although the words were vague and not very specific, the Chief Clerk still understood what the Governor meant: "Yes!"
"I don't care what you do in secret, but I won't allow you to get too close to them under my nose. If anyone finds out that you're involved, I'll replace you!"
After the governor finished speaking, he drove the man away.
Watching them walk away, the governor quickly took out the memorial, pondered for a moment, and began to write hard.
As the emperor's confidant, I must report everything to him, and by the way... by the way, I can test the emperor's attitude towards Ji Shi...
Yuan Sixian walked out of the government office and headed straight for the inn, but when he arrived it was still dark.
He simply asked the waiter to bring him a pot of tea and waited quietly in the lobby.
The first one to get up was Zhang Ziwei.
He was always worried about the official documents and couldn't sleep well at night because he tossed and turned.
So he got up early in the morning and planned to go to the government office to think of a solution.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they walked into the lobby, they heard the waiter of the inn say that someone was looking for them.
Zhang Ziwei glanced at Yuan Sixian, who looked haggard in his official uniform, and walked over with a heavy heart. "Sir, I heard you were looking for us?"
Yuan Sixian looked at Zhang Ziwei and asked, "Are you the escort who is escorting Ji Shi?"
"Exactly."
"Are the people of the Ji family still at peace?"
Hearing Yuan Sixian's ambiguous words, Zhang Ziwei's heart tightened even more. "Sir, the Ji family are all scholars, and they have been very honest along the way! Except for the initial delay, we did our best to keep up with the prescribed distance."
When Yuan Sixian heard this, he felt relieved for the Ji family.
This solution looks okay?
"I'm here today on behalf of Miss Ji Changying to tell her family that she's currently sorting out some matters at the government office and will be back soon. They shouldn't worry."
Zhang Ziwei looked at him in surprise: "Why did Miss Ji go to the government office? Wasn't she still here last night?"
Yuan Sixian coughed awkwardly and said, "It's because of some official business. I'm not in a position to tell you the details. She's fine now. Please inform her family."
"Also, I want to meet Master Ji's immediate family."
Zhang Ziwei felt melancholy: "I'll do all this right away! But..."
He glanced at Yuan Sixian cautiously and asked awkwardly, "I wonder when our documents can be processed? The main thing is that we are not rich, and we may not be able to afford to stay in the inn for too long."
Yuan Sixian paused for a moment and said, "Something happened at the government office a few days ago and delayed us for a few days. Once this matter is resolved, we will handle it for you as soon as possible. It will be done soon."
After hearing this, Zhang Ziwei happily sent people to do it.
——
Ji Changying was awakened by the smell of food.
She followed the smell, opened the door, and walked all the way to the next yard.
Mr. Huang built a charcoal fire in the yard and placed a fresh braised chicken on the grill. He fanned it gently with a fan, and the fragrance came out.
"Look, the fish is hooked!"
Old Huang pointed at Ji Changying and laughed.
"Strange, aren't we surrounded by guards? Where have all the people gone?"
Ji Changying looked at the empty yard with a little curiosity.
"Everyone rolled up their sleeves and went to work. Is this government office sick?"
When Mr. Huang was mentioned, he looked disgusted.
