After the Great King's Heart Sutra, which was omitted due to the long title of the book, was written, Song Yan's first batch of martial arts was finally collected.

The next day, Yan Danjue's 50,000 taels of silver were delivered, and the clarification declaration issued by the Song family was also issued simultaneously, and the entire Shangjing City entered the rhythm of eating melons again.

On the third day, Song Yan finally chose a suitable shop, located in the remote Beicheng, although it has not yet reached the suburbs, it is definitely not a good location, fortunately, except for the location, the rest are all advantages.

The more remote address made the price not high, and Shenwutang came forward, Song Yan only paid 13,000 taels of silver, and directly took over the shop, and promised to pay in installments, you can pay half of it first.

This shop covers a huge area, and it was originally a large blacksmith shop, which was similar to Song Yan's expectation, and was directly divided into front and back halls.

The front hall is used for the sale and testing of weapons and armor, and the back hall is the place where the blacksmiths forge weapons, and a large number of stoves and other equipment are placed, and Song Yan also took over.

In the early days, Buwu Pavilion could be produced by Song Yan, but sooner or later in the future, it would have to be completed by workers, and this part of the equipment could also come in handy.

The decoration style of the front hall as a weapon shop was also very suitable, and Song Yan didn't even need to take a lot of rest, and there were still many accommodation rooms in the back hall, because the blacksmith shop originally had a large number of apprentice helpers.

Although the price of this blacksmith shop is actually a little higher in this area, Song Yan still won this place because he was quite satisfied with other conditions.

So Song Yan officially broke away from the Song family on this day, directly proposed to Song Yushan to separate the family, and left the Song Mansion with all his belongings - in fact, there were no belongings, mainly with Yan'er.

That's right, according to the customs of the Great Zhou, Song Yan can take the maid away. Because the separation of the family is not to cut the robe and break the righteousness, but the self-reliance portal of the Eight Classics, from now on, the line of Song Yan can be regarded as a side branch of the Song family.

There are only a few rooms in the Song family, but there are a large number of collateral children, just because there are people in each generation who are independent.

The Great Zhou custom encouraged this behavior, believing that it was a practice of excellent children who could spread the branches of the family and expand the influence of the family.

Also on this day, the Four Princes' Mansion also issued a message that the Four Princes postponed their concubines only because they were unwell, and His Royal Highness the Four Princes was accidentally sick, which had nothing to do with other factors, and hoped that the public would not be affected by rumors.

However, compared with Song Yan's speech, not too many people believed the words of the Four Princes' Mansion.

Because Song Yan's statement cannot be verified at most, and the statement of the Four Princes' Mansion has an obvious loophole, that is, the Four Princes did not explain what their attitude is towards Zhao Jinghua's disappearance.

Should they continue to insist on taking concubines, or should they simply give up the marriage contract? This point was avoided by the Four Princes' Mansion, and many people thought that it was against their will to clarify it, and the matter of taking concubines had become a matter of course.

So on this day, Song Zhe rushed to Song Wenyou's courtyard, and when he saw his fourth uncle, he was shocked.

"Fourth uncle, you are simply a god!" Song Zhe was so impressed that he threw himself to the ground, and said as soon as they met, "Yesterday Song Yan really clarified his position, but today the Fourth Prince's Mansion avoided talking about concubines......"

"Everything is as you expected, Fourth Uncle, Song Yan used to retreat as a strategy, and most of the four princes were under pressure from the Yan family and had to give up taking concubines!"

With Song Wenyou's previous arguments, Song Zhe looked at the current situation in Shangjing, only to feel that it suddenly became clear, and everything became extremely clear.

This feeling that everyone is drunk and I am alone makes Song Zhe addicted, and he can't wait to catch a joke when he sees an individual, and tell the fourth uncle's previous analysis again...... Thankfully, he's not stupid enough to do that.

But knowing the "truth" but only holding it back was not comfortable, so Song Zhe could only turn his grievances into motivation and investigate Song Yan's movements in depth, which really made him find out something.

"Fourth uncle, today I sent someone to secretly follow Song Yan and found that he went to a shop in Beicheng...... He directly took Yan'er to live in, and my people inquired, this shop has just changed hands, maybe it was bought by Song Yan. ”

Speaking of this, Song Zhe introduced the situation of the shops in the north of the city again, and Song Wenyou frowned and said: "A shop of this size, even if the location is not good and the management is not good, it is worth at least tens of thousands of taels of silver, where did Hongwen get the money?"

"Maybe it was also given by the Yan family?" Song Zhe thought about it, in his opinion, as long as there was the help of the Yan family, it would not be strange for Song Yan to do anything.

"Perhaps. Song Wenyou couldn't find a better explanation, and in fact there would be no other explanation, because this is the truth.

Song Zhe couldn't help but say: "Fourth uncle, the little nephew went to see His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince with this news, can you make a letter of nomination?"

"What is this. Song Wenyou waved his hand again and again, "This kind of news, anyone who wants to check it can find it, there is nothing surprising." It's not about saying it, it's about doing it, has the science ever understood?"

Song Zhe understands this truth, but Song Yan is a congenital master, what can he do?

Song Wenyou saw his thoughts, and couldn't help but shake his head lightly: "Hongwen is the enemy of His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, which is equivalent to being the enemy of a large group of people, so why do you need to do it yourself?"

"I see!" Song Zhe showed a sudden look on his face, and after a thousand thanks, he turned his head and ran to his room.

He took out a portrait from the room, walked out of the door of the Song Mansion, and went straight to the mansion of an official surnamed Li nearby, which was the residence of Li Anliang, who was known to the world as the confidant of the Four Princes.

......

“...... Therefore, today's announcement issued by the Four Princes' Mansion, but it did not mention the disappearance of Zhao Jinghua, it must be the pressure from the Yan Mansion, even though His Royal Highness the Four Princes was dissatisfied, and he was unwilling to make a bad deal with the Yan family for a concubine, so he had to bow his head. ”

Song Zhe and Li Anliang sat opposite each other, talking eloquently, although most of it was from the analysis of the fourth uncle, Song Zhe still had a solid addiction.

And Song Zhe is actually not a person who does not learn and does not know how to do it, at least in front of Li Anliang, a dog-legged man, his pedigree of the master is still solid.

After listening to Song Zhe's words, Li Anliang, who was over forty years old, couldn't help but be shocked, and said in a loud voice: "If it weren't for Mr. Zhi's guidance, Anliang really thought that His Royal Highness had suddenly contracted a serious illness and was planning to visit him in a while." ”

Although Li Anliang is a civilian official, he is actually from the market, and it is all because the fourth prince liked to walk the rivers and lakes in his early years to make friends with him, so he has today's official position.

But this person has no education after all, and the walk of being a city guard camp is over, and he can only do some rough work to deal with martial artists.

However, Song Zhe also took a fancy to him, it was impossible for someone who was too smart to be willing to be a stepping stone for him, and Li Anliang's identity as a walking camp in the city was also the most suitable to come forward to deal with Song Yan.

No matter how much he can fight Song Yan, will he dare to take action against the city guard camp? The Great Zhou court, which is represented by the city guards, attacked the soldiers of the city guard camp and conspiracy to rebel.

So Song Zhe said with a smile: "Li Xing is a confidant of His Royal Highness, no matter what the facts are, it is natural to visit, but ...... Instead of walking empty-handed, take a gift with you. ”

"Gift?" Li Anliang was puzzled.

Song Zhe unfolded the portrait he brought in his hand, and it was clearly a delicate and lovely girl, which was Yan'er's portrait.

"This woman's name is Yan'er, she is Song Yan's personal maid, and she is most favored by him. Song Zhe pointed to the portrait and said, "Song Yan intervened in the matter of His Royal Highness's concubine, this move is like the hatred of taking his wife, if Li Xingxing can take this woman and send it to His Royal Highness, even the Yan family will be speechless." ”

"Clever plan! What a clever plan!" Although Li Anliang's education level is not high, he is very clear about his human feelings.

The four princes are hindered by the Yan family's affection, and it is not good to attack Song Yan and Zhao Jinghua, the dog men and women, so they can only pretend to be generous, but it does not prevent their subordinates from cutting first and then playing!

Of course, it would be too much to directly ask for Song Yan's life, but robbing him of a maid was just right, and even the Yan family could not come forward again.

You Song Yan even robbed the concubines of the four princes, don't you allow others to snatch back a maid?

Li Anliang said again: "How to operate this matter, please also ask Mr. Song to teach me." ”

He now has great trust in the young man in front of him who claims to be Song Zhe, and besides, this information was originally brought by the other party, so of course he has to listen to the other party's opinion.

Song Zhe thought for a while and said: "Right now is on the cusp, don't act rashly." That Song Yan had just become independent from the Song family and bought a shop in Beicheng, which must be open soon, so it was better to wait for him to open on the day he opened. ”

"When the time comes, not only will he rob people, but he will also be able to greatly humiliate Song Yan and teach him to close down on the day of opening......"

"Hahaha, sir!"
