Chapter 59: Provocation

When Song Yan came back, it was almost the hour, the lights on both sides of the corridor were all on, the thrushes under the corridor were all covered with black cloth, and the occasional chirping bird sound in the night sky, he ran across the corridor, quickly crossed the arch bridge, and ran into the Guan Ju Courtyard out of breath.

He was close to winning today, just a little bit, just a little bit closer, and if he had a little more experience, he would have won big this time...... If he succeeds, he will no longer have to be coerced by these people in the future, and he can rescue Senior Brother Ah Heng and the poor little boy, but unfortunately it is still a little worse. He stood in front of the expressionless Song Chuyi, feeling uneasy, like a restless rabbit.

Song Chuyi looked at him through the yellow rosewood desk, and his tone was flat: "I remember that I said at the time, let you think clearly about whether you want to tell me the truth." Looks like you don't want to tell me the truth......"

Song Yan hung his head, like a child who had done something wrong, and he didn't know where to start if he wanted to argue.

"I heard that yesterday you went to the tent and paid three thousand taels of silver." Song Chuyi looked at Song Yan's suddenly raised head and uneasy expression, and pulled the corners of his mouth: "You think you are doing it very secretly?" If you don't know the price of firewood and rice, do you know that every large amount of expenditure has to be reported to the aunt and the old lady? ā€

The rich young master always felt that the family's money was inexhaustible, and how did he know that there was such a thing as bookkeeping and reporting, so he immediately panicked, and grabbed his robe and was a little uneasy.

Song Chuyi didn't wait for him to speak, and took out a stack of papers from the drawer and threw it in front of him: "These are the gamblers you have been looking for outside these days, what have they helped you?" ā€

Song Yan's eyes widened, looking at the names clearly remembered on the paper, he felt that the tips of his fingers were cold, and he couldn't say a word.

He remembered Ah Heng, who was trapped in the gambling house and couldn't get out, and his son was sick and dying, his head hung very low, and his voice was very low: "When I was in Shuzhong, there was a junior brother who came to listen to the teacher's teaching....... His family was poor, and he traveled thousands of miles to Shuzhong just to listen to the teacher's class once a month...... Although poor, he is very good to us, occasionally if we give him something, invite him to a meal or two, his wife must make us something small as a gift in return......" Song Yan raised his eyes and secretly glanced at Song Chuyi, and saw that she was listening carefully, so he mustered up the courage to say in one breath: "But this time I came back to Beijing only to find that he borrowed money, I scolded him for being obsessed, and gave him three hundred taels of silver to ask him to go back to his hometown to prepare for next year's Lu, but he said that this money is not enough at all, His wife and children were all detained by the gambling house....... I went to the gambling house, but the gang refused to let him go, saying that he owed nearly 20,000 pieces of silver......"

This is a trap, step by step to bring Song Yan in, extremely patient, step by step. The person who laid out the layout must have a deep and unfathomable mind.

Song Chuyi looked at Song Yan who was standing next to her helplessly and waiting to be scolded, her heart suddenly softened, she always knew that Song Yan was a soft-hearted child, and when it came to this, she had to blame herself for being too careless, teaching her younger brother the truth of being a man, but forgetting to teach him the sinister world. Reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles, Song Yan is only halfway through it now, but fortunately, she is not slow to react, everything is still in time.

"You don't have 20,000 taels of silver, but they forced your classmate named Ah Heng to press harder and harder, and his wife and children also suffered a lot, so you can't stand it, but you don't dare to trouble the family because of this, so you decided to gamble according to what the people in the gambling house said?" Song Chuyi's tone was very gentle, much gentler and calmer than when he questioned him a few days ago, as if he was no longer angry.

Song Yan nodded: "Those people want to cut off Ah Heng's fingers, how can a crippled person have a career in the future......"

Song Chuyi smiled, and asked instead of answering: "Then Ah Yan, think about it, a person who is addicted to gambling and will borrow money to roast his wife and children on the fire, how can he be a good official in the future?" He is not young, a whole round older than you, you said that he is very devout to your teacher, then why didn't your teacher say that he would be accepted as a disciple, well, not to say that he would be accepted as a disciple, after all, there is a quota for disciples, and your master and you have also accepted a total of seven disciples. But he didn't even ask him to enter the school, and he could only let him listen to a class that the children of Quxian County could listen to once a month, isn't it a little strange? ā€

Song Yan was a little stunned, yes, why is the teacher who has always pitied the poor and the weak so harsh on this junior brother who has been in Shu for three years? You must know that how many poor students in the county are usually willing to recruit them into the school, and the senior brothers will teach and solve their doubts......

"What's more, it's such a coincidence that this junior brother of yours appeared." Song Chuyi further reminded him: "When he was in Shuzhong, did he only like to associate with you and the six senior brothers in front of you?" After you returned to the capital, how could he happen to meet you in poverty and ask you for help? ā€

There is something wrong with this person's character at all, he has been upright from the beginning, so the teachers and brothers don't like him and refuse to let him sit in the school, even if he has been grinding for three years.

Song Yan thought of this, and then thought about Ah Heng's nervous gaze every time he asked someone to help choose those fighting cocks......

Something suddenly figured out, like an initiation, and he stood in place in shock, not knowing how to react for a while. Ah Heng deceived him, using his sympathy and three-year friendship in Shuzhong, and taking advantage of the pity and misery of innocent women and children to deceive him.

He remembered the IOU he signed in the gambling house today, and only felt that his voice was trembling: "Sister, today in the gambling house, I signed an IOU of 5,000 taels......"

It doesn't matter how much it is, what matters is that it's an IOU from the gambling house, with his signature on it.

As soon as his words fell, there was a knock on the door, and Qingying walked in with a white face pinching a letter, because she was too hard, the envelope had been pinched and deformed by her, and she handed the letter to Song Chuyi: "Girl, the letter specially sent to you by Guan Shan next to the Hou Shizi of Jinxiang was brought by the old lady." ā€

This is a provocation, a complete provocation, if it weren't for the appointment with Mrs. Song for three days, now Mrs. Song should ask for family law. Song Chuyi glanced at Song Yan and reached out to take the letter in his hand.
