Chapter 125 There is a cause and then there is an effect (1)
When the sun was west on another day, Li Ling and his party finally saw the familiar low walls of Jiangcheng County, which made them truly relieved because they finally got home.
I entered the city without any obstacles, followed the familiar streets straight to the door and opened the door to the hospital. Everything here was no different from when he and Yue'er left the city ten days ago. However, the movement of their entry attracted the attention of Aunt Jin next door. As soon as I saw many of them coming back together, Aunt Jin was surprised for a while.
"Isn't this Miss Le'er? Are you coming back?"
"Yes, Aunt Jin, my sister may have to stay here for a few days, maybe she will have to take care of you."
"My fellow villagers in the country, I will definitely help you if you can."
After chatting with this enthusiastic neighbor, Li Ling settled a few women and children into the room first. As for the men, they took a rest in the main room. Before, only he and Yue'er didn't realize anything, but now they found that their place was indeed smaller, with only three rooms, obviously they couldn't live in so many people.
It seems that when this matter is over, I have to find another yard in the city to move. Li Ling was thinking about it and greeted Li Tong and Li Moyun: "I'm sorry for you to stay here for one night. I'll go to Yashang tomorrow to see if there is a suitable yard."
"No worries, this place is much better than our residence at the wharf." Li Moyun said with a hurried smile, and Li Tong on the side nodded: "Yes, young master, you have spent a lot of money to redeem me before, so there is really no need to spend more money."
"That's not a waste of money. I didn't plan to live in this remote alley all the time. Don't worry, I've been doing business with people recently, and I still have some money to stay with me." Li Ling said a few more words, then turned around and thanked Gu Gang, who was also in a difficult situation, and asked him to go back to the bookstore to report safety to Gu Yuezi and the others, and then he went to a nearby restaurant to order a table of tables before he rested.
The next night, everyone temporarily slept in their respective rooms for one night. Although the environment was not very good, after nearly two days of travel, the tired people didn't care at all. They slept until dawn after just one night, and then the others continued to rest here, while Li Ling went out again.
He did not go straight to Yaxing, but went to the county government first. After all, he always had to report to his teacher when he was causing trouble outside, and he still hoped that the teacher would protect him at critical moments.
Now the county magistrate Wei has already taken over the power, but the official duties in his hands have been much less expensive, so Li Ling was summoned soon. Seeing himself as a student who went out, Wei Liang snorted first: "I told me that I only went out for three or five days, but I didn't come back today. If I had known this, I wouldn't have agreed to let you go to the capital city at that time. If you didn't even check it out, there would be more than two months for the provincial examination. What's more important than this!"
Faced with the teacher's reproach, Li Ling naturally accepted it humbly, saying: "What the teacher said is that the disciples are too relaxed and will not be able to do so in the future. We should put academic studies first."
"Well, then after I go back today, I will continue to follow what I said, read the excellent current articles one by one, and then turn the essence into your own things, and write a decent article at least one day!" Since Li Ling was accepted as a disciple, those who are teachers naturally have to be stricter.
Li Ling said yes again, and saw Wei Liang's expression slightly clear, then whispered: "Teacher, the reason why the student came back a few days later this time was because he went to Jiangbei again."
"Well? What are you doing there? Is it a business thing again? I tell you, business is the end and learning is the foundation. Don't put the cart before the horse and do not distinguish between importance or importance."
"The teacher taught me a lesson, but the students went to Jiangbei County because my sister was there." Next, Li Ling told me about saving his sister from the sea of suffering in Jiangbei.
Wei Liang was quite casual at first, but after hearing that he actually robbed people, his face suddenly became gloomy. In the end, he was silent and stared at him for a long time.
"You are so rude, why dare you do such a bold and reckless thing elsewhere? You have thought about the consequences. If you miss your future, your life will be over!"
Facing the teacher's reprimand, Li Ling could only listen to the scolding. Until the other party blamed him almost, he looked up slightly: "What the teacher taught me is that the student had no other way at that time, and he had to do this bad decision."
"Who said you have no other choice? Can you come back to find me?" Wei Liangmeng glared at him, "You, a student, naturally, can't let Jiangbei County nod, but if I, my colleague, came forward, the situation will be very different. Why are you so reckless and just taking pleasure in the moment?"
Li Ling's heart warmed up. Wei Liang really treated himself as a student or even a relative. Then he sighed: "It's good now. If you did such a thing, you are giving someone a handle. At that time, the Wei family and Jiangbei County will never give up."
After pausing, he looked at Li Ling again and said, "Especially the Wei family, do you know that the Wei family in Jiangbei is in Hengzhou Prefecture, and even the entire Huaibei area is one of the few aristocratic families? If you offend them like this, the back will inevitably be extremely difficult to deal with."
"The student understands."
"No, you still don't understand enough. The Wei family... I can't say it very accurately for a while, so let Master Cao, who is also from Huaibei, come and talk to you in detail." Wei Zhixian sighed and then called the eldest son outside to call Cao Jinqie to come.
Master Cao came over and heard what Li Ling did in Jiangbei, his old face became very serious: "Mr. Li, you are really in trouble this time. This Wei family is not easy to deal with."
Even though Li Ling felt a little ashamed, he didn't feel a little dissatisfied at this moment: "Can the Wei family be more difficult to deal with than the merchant and the Wan family?" He said that he completely drove the merchants in this county and drove the Wanjia Bookstore out of Jiangcheng.
"How can the Wei family be compared to the dealer? Let me tell you, when the dealer was at its peak, he closed the door in the county town to show off his might. If he really went outside and arrived in the capital city, they would not be able to make any storms. The so-called backer is simply said, and it is impossible to do it accurately. Therefore, the boss can eliminate it so easily without leaving any hidden dangers.
"But the Wei family in Jiangbei is different. It is the existence of the three major families in Hengzhou, which are known as the Wanjia and Pingjiang Ji family. If you really want to talk about the background of the official position, even the Wanjia, which is more famous, is not their opponent. After all, the Wanjia started out by business, and the Ji family is in the martial arts world. Only the Wei family has the closest relationship with the government, and even has the title of "Jianyi Family".
When Li Ling heard the old man say this, he couldn't help feeling a little sore in his teeth. His luck was too "good". In just one year, he had offended all the three Hengzhou families. It was okay for the Wan family to be considered as not fighting or dealing, but the Ji family had tried to deal with their young master. As for the Wei family, it was even more enemies. This was the strongest tank physique. Is it all the boss who would continue to mocking him?
Cao Jin's words continued: "Do you know where this title of Wei's family comes from?"
"I heard that it was the praise of a certain official for his family." Li Ling said casually.
"It's quite a bit of knowledge, but you must not know that the lord is now the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites of the dynasty and a third-rank high-ranking official! At that time, Mr. Xiao was also a transport envoy in Huaibei, but when he was transporting tax silver, he was attacked by the Green Forest thieves and was trapped on Woniu Mountain outside Jiangbei County. At that time, although the government and the governor's yamen received information, they had no time to rescue him. However, in Jiangbei County, they were afraid to go out of the city to suppress the thieves.
"But it was Wei Guangdao, the head of the Wei family who brought dozens of tribes and hundreds of townsmen to go out of the city to rescue and fight to the death, and then killed the thieves, rescued Minister Xiao and a group of people, saved hundreds of thousands of taels of silver and food, and also saved his future. It is not an exaggeration to say that the Wei family is his savior.
"It is precisely because of this that Mr. Xiao wrote a plaque of the Jieyi Family to the Wei Family, and then took good care of them in the officialdom later. Until today, the relationship between the two parties is still close. For example, Wei Shudao, the only remaining senior generation of the Wei family, was promoted to the position of doctor in the Ministry of Revenue."
Listening to the old man bringing the Wei family's footsteps one by one, even though Li Ling was already a little prepared, he still felt great pressure at this moment. This time he really offended a big man. The Minister of Rites and the Doctor of the Ministry of Revenue are all important officials of the court. Not to mention him, even the Magistrate of Wei may not dare to offend him easily.
It was not until this time that he knew why the Jiangbei County Government seemed so humble that day, allowing the Wei family members to come in and out at will, and decided to do it in one word. This is really not daring to offend others, and bringing endless troubles to himself.
Seeing that he was panicked, Wei Liang suddenly smiled and said, "Now you know you're scared?"
"I'm afraid it won't be so bad, but I didn't expect the other party to be so powerful."
"That's best, because fear is useless and cannot change anything." Wei Liang smiled again, "What Mr. Cao said is naturally true, but that's all the past, so this time things have not been broken enough to be irreversible."
"Hmm?" Li Ling raised his eyebrows, "Teacher means?" He thought he had really caused a big disaster this time, but now looking at Wei Liang's meaning, it seems that there is still something else to say.
