Chapter 20: Causing Trouble
Song Dafu fell silent, and everyone didn't speak for a while.
Liu Dianguan opened his mouth and broke the silence, "Brother Dafu, I can't take back the silver tickets, before I come over, the county magistrate can specially explain that these silver tickets must be handed over to your family in person." ”
The implication is that the county magistrate has given an order, and he must personally watch Song Dafu accept the money.
"Brother Liu, we can't ask for this money, can you help us return it to the county magistrate?" Song Dafu Road.
Liu Dianzhi shook his head and refused, "This is not good, Brother Dafu, it is easy to say other things, I can't promise you this matter." ”
Just kidding, as a good subordinate, what he has to do is to complete the orders of the county magistrate, not to work against the magistrate.
"Brother Dafu, Brother Liu told you something from the heart, this money, you'd better accept it, even if I bring it back for you today, the county magistrate can't accept it, this is when Lord Qincha leaves." Song Dafu looked at Song Dafu earnestly and persuaded him.
"Okay!" Song Dafu hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"Hey, that's right!" Liu Dianguan said happily.
"I've already delivered the money, Wan'er girl is fine, and I'm relieved." Liu Dian'er glanced at Song Wan'er, and then stood up, "If it's okay, I'll leave first." ”
"Brother Liu, you can't go like this, our brothers haven't seen each other for a long time, you came here on purpose, you have to stay for a meal, let's have a drink with the two of us." Song Dafu Road.
"Yes, Daifuku is right, I heard Daifuku say that Lord Liu has helped him a lot, no matter what, he can't just leave." Old Man Mu interjected on the side.
Liu Dianguan smiled apologetically, very sorry, "The old man spoke, I should have agreed, but there are too many things in the yamen." Before I came, the prefectural magistrate also instructed me to go back immediately after I was done. ”
When Old Man Mu and the others heard this, it was not easy to continue to persuade.
Song Dafu got up. Send Liu Dian out.
Inside the room, Song Wan'er, Zhang and the others looked at the silver tickets on the table, and they were all silent.
"These silver tickets, are they really our family?" Zhang asked in disbelief.
"Hmm." Song Wan'er nodded.
Silence, long silence.
"It's like a dream." Zhang said in a trance. If it weren't for the silver ticket still sitting on the table, she really couldn't believe what had just happened.
"It's not a dream, it's true, mother, since Uncle Liu sent it, let's accept it." Song Wan'er said.
She had saved so many people's lives, and that Lord Chin Cha had only left five hundred taels of silver tickets, which were nothing compared to their lives.
"Dafu daughter-in-law, Wan'er is right. You just take it. Old Man Mu also spoke, and the old man also thought of what Wan'er little girl told him.
"Squeak!" The door was opened, and Song Dafu stood at the gate of the courtyard and personally watched Liu Dian's departure.
Liu Dianguan stopped, turned his head to look at Song Dafu, and in Song Dafu's puzzled gaze, he said: "Brother Dafu, Brother Liu is really envious of you, in the past, Brother Liu did something wrong. I beg your forgiveness. ”
As Liu Dianguan spoke, he bent down and bowed to Song Dafu.
"Brother Liu, what are you doing here?" Song Dafu was surprised.
"Brother Daifuku, don't stop me. In the past, Brother Liu couldn't stand you, if you really treat me as a big brother, forgive the big brother, don't take it to heart. Liu Dianguan said very sincerely.
"Brother Liu, what are you talking about? You're my big brother, how could I blame you. Song Dafu was puzzled.
It's good not to blame!
When Liu Dianguan heard Song Dafu's words, the stone in his heart fell.
"Dafu, Brother Liu has something to say in a hurry today, which may be a little abrupt, but Brother Liu is really for your good." Liu Dianguan said.
"Well, Brother Liu, I understand your hard work." Song Dafu Road.
After the separation, Song Dafu felt more and more about the warmth and coldness of human feelings, especially after the ancestral hall incident, the eyes of everyone in Songjia Village looked at him differently.
Song Dafu cherished Liu Dian's friendship very much, and Liu Dianguan told him this from the bottom of his heart, and Song Dafu was grateful.
"Big brother, are you having any difficulties?" Song Dafu looked at Liu Dianzhi and asked.
Liu Dianzhi shook his head.
"Recently, I've been busy with official business, and there are a lot of things in the yamen, and the people are a little nervous, it's okay, Brother Dafu, go back." Liu Dian said.
After speaking, without waiting for Song Dafu to continue to ask, Liu Dianguan turned around and strode away without looking back.
What's going on? What do you mean?
Song Dafu stood at the door, looking at the figure of Liu Dian's departure, and wondered.
There is a big difference in attitude!
***
The old Song family, inside the hall.
Old Man Song leaned on the bed, holding a long dry tobacco stick in his hand, and took big puffs of cigarettes.
Mrs. Song sat on the kang not far from the old man, and on the chair not far from the opposite sat Song Daxi, who had just changed his clothes, and Song Dashou, who had just returned.
"Let's talk about what happened today." Old Man Song took more than a dozen mouthfuls in succession, and then asked.
"Dad, don't you know everything? And you agree to do so. Song Dashou said.
Old Man Song himself agreed, and everything was done, now I ask, what does this mean? Song Dashou was puzzled.
Old Man Song nodded, smiled mockingly, the wrinkles on his face were one after another, and the frowning brows made him look even older.
"Yes, I did it, but what did you say at the time?" Old Man Song questioned Song Dashou.
Song Dashou said that Song Wan'er angered Lord Qincha and would affect Song Daxi, who was studying, how could Old Man Song not be in a hurry.
"Now that your fourth brother is back, you say those words again." Old Man Song said.
"I ......" Song Dashou hesitated, those words were all told by that person, Lord Qincha has always been in the county seat, how could he know about Lord Qincha.
"Say!" Old Man Song burst into applause.
"Dad, I'm also for the good of the fourth brother!" Song Dashou suddenly spoke, trembling with fright, and his voice was a little unsteady, "How did I know that I would also be deceived by others, I am really kind." I care about my fourth brother......"
"Ahem...... old man Song grabbed the cigarette stick, and suddenly coughed, eager to kill Song Dashou, the troublemaker.
"Dad, you take your breath. Don't be angry. Song Daxi hurriedly persuaded.
How can he not be angry, he is all this idiot, he is delicious and lazy, not to mention, and he is even more disturbed.
It's happened, now it's time to kill him. What can be changed, the most important thing at the moment is to address the negative impact of this matter.
"Third brother, you said that someone sued you for this news, who is that person, what did he say, you say it one by one." Song Daxi looked directly at Song Dashou and asked.
Song Dashou looked away, not daring to look at Song Daxi.
"That's it...... It's someone else suing me. Song Dashou said, not daring to look directly at Song Daxi's eyes, and his expression was a little evasive.
As soon as Song Daxi saw Song Dashou's expression, he knew that he had something to hide from himself. There is no telling the truth.
"Third brother, I am your younger brother, we are a family, you can't tell us if you have anything to say." Song Daxi said.
"I didn't hide it from you, I told you everything I knew." Song Dashou said.
"Okay." Song Daxi nodded, "You said that you listened to what others said, who that other person is, where did he sue you, he except to sue you Qincha to deal with the eldest brother." Will it implicate our family, what else did you say? ”
"That's what he said, and he didn't say anything else. I just heard it from someone in the village, and he didn't specifically sue me, I overheard it. Song Dashou said.
Yes, it's eavesdropping, and if you eavesdrop, you won't say much. Song Dashou thought in his heart and calmed down.
The next moment, Song Daxi's question made Song Dashou give up such a stupid idea.
"Third brother, you said that you overheard, who else was there besides you at the time, they were all from our village, you shouldn't know him, you tell that person, I'll go to him and ask." Song Daxi said.
Song Dashou hesitated and did not speak.
Song Daxi continued: "Third brother, that person didn't tell you the truth, eldest brother and their family did meet with Lord Qincha, and the matter was indeed related to Song Wan'er's little girl, but no one knows what they did and what they said." ”
Song Daxi didn't know, his classmates in the school didn't know either, and even the son of the county Cheng family he asked, and he didn't know either.
"I remember wrong, it's not in the village, it's in the town, yes, in the town, I went to the town to buy things, I heard what others said, how do I know how he knew, they were saying at the time, and after I heard it, I hurriedly ran back to tell my father." Song Dashou said.
Song Daxi frowned, the always gentle smile on his face, he couldn't hold it for a long time, he held his breath in his heart, and repeatedly told himself in his heart that the person in front of him was his own brother, his own brother.
Song Daxi thought in his heart more than once, compared to Song Dashou, who caused trouble, he would rather Song Dafu be his eldest brother, at least Song Dafu was honest and honest, although he couldn't help him, but he wouldn't cause trouble for him outside.
"Song Dashou, you tell Lao Tzu the truth, for a while someone else sued you, for a while you heard someone you don't know, and for a while you said that it was in our village, and now it has become a small town again, are you a fool when everyone else? If you don't tell the truth today, Lao Tzu will beat you to death. Old Man Song shouted violently.
"Mother!" Song Dashou trembled, looking at Mrs. Song for help, from childhood to adulthood, he was beaten a lot, how powerful the old man Song's slap was, Song Dashou knew it in his heart.
Old Mrs. Song looked at Song Dashou and said, "San'er, just listen to your father and your fourth brother, tell the truth." ”
"I'm telling the truth, what else are you asking me to say." Song Dashou said.
"The person who talked to the third brother should be the stranger in the third brother's mouth who doesn't know who it is." Song Daxi said.
When the words fell, Song Dashou suddenly stood up straight, his eyes widened in surprise.
"You're following me." Song Dashou asked in a temperamental manner.
"Third brother, I just care about you, you haven't come back, I don't worry about you." Song Daxi said.
He went back to find someone, but he also thought that Song Dashou had an impulsive personality, and he was afraid that he would cause something at this sensitive time, who knew that he would see Song Dashou talking to someone, he didn't think much about it at the time, but now that he thinks about it, that person is indeed a little suspicious.
"Don't tell the truth, do you really want your father to kill you?" Old Lady Song said angrily.
"I said, I said it can't be done yet, don't be angry, I didn't mean to hide it from you, but the man said that he wouldn't harm our family, and he would help the fourth brother, so I agreed." Song Dashou said.
The story of the matter is actually very simple, the person paid the money, Song Dashou told him some things he wanted to know, the person's request was actually very simple, most of the things he wanted to know were about Song Dafu's family, these things were known to the people in Songjia Village, and Song Dashou also felt nothing.
"He seems to be very concerned about Song Dafu's family, this time about Song Wan'er angering Lord Qincha, that person sued me, and later I did a qiē according to that person's instructions." Song Dashou confessed.
"Rebel! Unfilial son! You rebel! Old Man Song was about to go crazy when he heard the words, he was really a rebel, and he actually united with outsiders, "Song Dafu is your eldest brother, your own eldest brother, how can you ......"
Old Man Song looked at the cigarette stick he was holding in his hand and hit it hard.
"Dad, he's not my eldest brother now, you have expelled him from our old Song family, what kind of big brother is me." Song Dashou said, flashing the cigarette stick thrown by Old Man Song.
The cigarette stick fell to the ground, making a crisp sound, and the room was instantly quiet, only the voice of Old Man Song panting sounded heavily.
"Third brother, you really did something wrong." Song Daxi said.
No matter what that person's purpose is, the important thing is that Song Dashou did these things, and if something happens in the future, he can't get out of it.
"I ...... Am I doing something wrong? Song Dashou looked at Song Daxi's solemn face and asked, feeling a little apprehensive.
"Third brother, who is that person? Where did it come from? What is he going to do? Do you know any of these? Song Daxi asked.
Song Dashou shook his head, he didn't care about this, as long as he knew that he had done those things, he had money to take, and he could make Song Dafu's family unhappy, that's it.
"What do you have to say to this rebel, let me kill me now, no matter what the person behind the scenes wants to do, as long as he disposes of this rebel, he has no way to harm us." Old Man Song said angrily.
"Dad, don't." Song Dashou said, seeing that Mrs. Song and Song Daxi were looking at him in disappointment, he suddenly felt that the money bag in his arms was hot, "The money is here, and everything I know has been said." ”
Song Daxi looked at the money bag, was silent for a long time, and finally spoke: "Third brother, you have to find a way to call that person out, I want to see him." (To be continued.) )
