Seven hundred and twentieth chapters old friends meet
The old lady stood up with crutches and couldn't help laughing: "I don't need others to avoid it. You can do it, and you will go with me later."
Sima Xiangde still hesitated. Wang Cheng was clearly supposed to be sent by the court to deal with him. He had tried all his skills and tried his best to deal with him. He had barely saved him and was not transferred. If he went to see Wang Chengming now, he might have accidentally beaten him and gave the court a warning!
Seeing this, the old lady snorted coldly and said, "Although you are not my biological child, have I harmed you once in so many years?"
Seeing that the old lady said such ruthless things, Sima Xiangde dared not hesitate anymore, so he stood up and said, "Yes, my son will do it now."
The old lady was happy and turned around and walked towards her yard.
Sima Xiangde looked at her back with a strange expression and said to himself: "I haven't seen my mother so happy for many years..."
Although he was puzzled, he still listened to the old lady.
He knew where Wang Chengming was, so he just needed to arrange a carriage and take people there.
When the old lady went out, she saw several large carriages, and a large group of people were serving her, as if she was going to escort her over.
The old lady looked unhappy and walked to Sima Xiangde, pulled him up dissatisfiedly, and said, "Not to say that the court requires frugality, can Wang Chengming have a good impression of you when he sees your formation?"
Sima Xiangde was stunned. Haven’t they always been like this?
Seeing him like this, the old lady waved her hand and said, "It's just a carriage, you and me, just bring another coachman, go quickly."
Sima Xiangde felt that the old lady was very strange today. There were too many people and couldn't ask questions, so he could only let everyone else go back. He accompanied the old lady on the carriage and asked the coachman to drive to the Suzhou Prefecture Station.
Now the Censorate has a habit of not staying in a restaurant or brothel if there is a censor. Everything arranged by local officials cannot be accepted and must be staying in the inn.
"No need to ask, you will know it naturally." The old lady closed her eyes and rested. Although she didn't look at Sima Xiangde, she seemed to have seen through his thoughts.
Sima Xiangde is in his fifties and he still has this concentration, so I really didn't ask.
The carriage was bumpy and shaking all the way, and soon arrived at the inn.
Sima Xiangde helped the old lady get off the carriage. The two of them looked up and saw that the station was relatively shabby.
The old lady looked at it, laughed, and walked forward with a crutch.
This is a post station, which is usually fine, because Wang Chengming's arrival has become very busy and has increased his vigilance.
As soon as they approached, a minor official stepped forward and said, "Who are you two?"
Sima Xiangde was about to speak, but the old lady said, "I'm sorry to send a message to Wang Chengming, and I said that an old friend from Wuxi County was visiting."
The little official said without any strange smile: "I came here unfortunately. I'm not back yet."
Sima Xiangde immediately understood and was about to pay. The old lady stopped him quietly and said to the little official with a smile: "Others, he can go out, I can't. If you hand me a message, you will benefit you later."
The little official hesitated immediately. The old lady didn't look like an ordinary person, and her words seemed to have mystery.
Sima Xiangde was full of doubts, but he didn't say a word. He knew this old mother and helped him too much over the past decades. In many things, the old lady was more decisive than him and could see clearly.
The little official looked at Sima and his son seriously and said, "Okay, I'll give you a message."
The little official raised his hand politely, turned around and walked quickly inside.
Gu/span>Sima Xiangde supported the old lady and waited quietly.
The old lady was leaning on crutches in her hands, smiling on her face, and reminiscence in her eyes.
The minor official entered the post station and came to Wang Chengming's door.
He saw the door open and saw Wang Chengming looking at the letter. After waiting for a while, he said, "There is an old lady outside the gate of the Imperial Palace who said she was your old friend in Wuxi County to ask for a meeting."
Wang Chengming is in his sixties, with some gray hair on his temples, medium-sized, calm and gentle complexion, and a gentle and scholarly look.
Hearing this, he turned to look over, frowned, and said, "Old friend of Wuxi?"
"Yes, that's what the old lady said." The little official replied respectfully, feeling a little nervous. Wang Chengming had confessed that all the officials of Suzhou Prefecture were not seen. The little official had violated the rules and was driven away by a board.
Wang Chengming frowned even deeper, and said quietly for a while, "I'll go and have a look."
The little official immediately breathed a sigh of relief and moved aside.
Wang Chengming packed up the letters in his hand, which were basically all complaining to officials at all levels of Suzhou Prefecture, including Sima Xiangde. There were too many things listed in it, which were enough to send Sima Xiangde and other Suzhou Prefecture officials to prison!
‘It’s so bad.’ The last thing Wang Chengming saw was Sima Xiangde’s corruption in the Suzhou Prefecture Treasury. In five years, he had a total of three million chunks of money and food!
This is still known to the whistleblower. According to the wealth of Suzhou Prefecture, and only involves the treasury, three million in five years is definitely only a small part of it!
Wang Chengming left the door and went straight to the front door. From a distance, he saw an old lady who was about the same age as him.
He looked familiar in a little. Wang Chengming walked straight over and came to the old lady Sima. He looked carefully, with a confused expression on his face. He hesitated for a moment and raised his hand and said, "Sorry, Wang's eyes are clumsy, the old sister looks familiar, and she can't remember it for a while."
Sima Xiangde was still very nervous when he looked at Wang Chengming. This was the censor. He had a low official position and little power. But a memorial was enough to put him to death!
The old lady Sima smiled and said, "Wang Manzi, do you really not recognize me, or do you dare not recognize me?"
Wang Chengming's face changed drastically, and he quickly stepped forward, his voice trembling a little, and he said, "Wang...Sister Wang San?"
The old lady smiled more and said, "It's me, I didn't expect that I'm still alive, right?"
Wang Chengming's hands were trembling with excitement. He looked at the old lady seriously, glanced at Sima Xiangde again, and was at a loss. He suddenly said, "Three Sisters, Third Sisters, please, inside, please, please!"
Wang Chengming waved his hand and invited the old lady Sima to walk inside.
The old lady nodded and was really walking in front.
Wang Chengming looked at her, and he was so calm that he was really excited. He followed the old lady, and he was confused in his heart, and he didn't know where to start for a moment.
When they arrived at Wang Chengming's room, the two sat opposite each other, and Sima Xiangde, who was over fifty, could only stand.
Wang Chengming calmed down a little, poured a cup of tea for the old lady, and kept staring at the old lady, corresponding to the girl of sixteen or seventeen years old in his memory.
But almost fifty years have passed, and there is no way to match it. It seems that only eyes have a little shadow of the past.
