Chapter 31
Song Yin went out of the warehouse with him, went to the door and routinely walked out, and when it was done, he could go out to show his innocence. 00] (s.) is a lot good]
It was dark, and the lanterns under the eaves hung from the iron hooks, and were blown by the wind, making a creaking sound. Insects are everywhere, and the two ears are full of tidal chirps. Guangchu Division is close to the Jinshui River, just on the edge of the Chang Gung Bridge, because there is no place to rest, the two people have nowhere to sit, so they go to the bridge and sit on the bridge.
Song Yin was sullen, holding his cheeks and sighing. He didn't speak, just quietly accompanied her. She was a little embarrassed, turned around and asked, "Are you done patrolling?" ”
He hummed, "This time, the Emperor of Panku asked the guards to supervise it, and I will be present." Why, something like this. ”
She was very anxious when she said this, "I can't say it either, it's very strange." It stands to reason that it will be counted every month, and there will be no mistakes, but this time it is inexplicably so short, even if it is moved out, it has to run back and forth twice, who has such courage? ”
He reassured her, "Don't worry about it first, let's talk about it when it's all over, maybe it's not necessarily what went wrong." ”
She raised her head with a sad face, looked at the starry sky and sighed, "The work of the Internal Affairs Office is difficult, there are thousands of problems, dealing with so many people, one person and one heart." I, Amma, said that unlike before, there were no twists and turns when the first emperor was there, and he also supervised the salt affairs and repaired the bridge, and it was basically smooth. But in the past few years, errands have been difficult to do, and there are often forks, and I don't know when it will be the end. ”
He understood what she meant, it was because of the change in power that it was difficult. He thought for a while and said, "If you want to get out of the predicament, it's actually not impossible. If the emperor decrees to raise the Tong family's nationality and justifiably enters the Zhenghuang Banner, then Prince Yu will not be able to control you. ”
She shook her head abruptly, "We are in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, handling trivial matters, not seeking merit, but seeking no fault." If you don't go out to fight, your brothers are all bad, and you can't build a meritorious career, so in what name do you raise your nationality? ”
He hesitated, "It doesn't necessarily depend on military merit, and you can still get married." If someone is willing to enter the palace, isn't it a matter of the emperor's words whether they are raised or not. ”
Song Yin remembered the emperor's quirks, and was so frightened that his mind was clear, and he waved his hand again and again and said no, "There has been a decree for a long time, and Tong Jia's family should not be selected to enter the palace." In that case, who wants to get involved? After all, the days in the palace are not so glamorous, and those of us who are in it know it in their hearts. ”
She thought of that Hui Zhu'er again, she was also a city house, what did she love to talk to her, but she had never had such a thing in her mouth, and I don't know if she was ashamed and didn't want to mention it, or only Guo Guiren was unlucky.
Rong Shi has no prejudice against the emperor, at least in his opinion, he is a wise gentleman, cares about the people's livelihood, and is also enterprising. But the woman's opinion was different from his, she said that she didn't like the emperor's family, which was good, at least she wouldn't be angry with their power and turn to Prince Yu.
He jumped to the railing of the bridge, hung on his two legs, and said casually: "This idea is just yours alone, do you know that others don't have the heart to be a mother?" There is a noble concubine in the family, what a glory. Besides, the emperor lacks such an opportunity, give him a reason to reward Tong Jia's family, and he can drag you out of Prince Yu's hands. ”
She understands what he says, but who to sacrifice? Can flesh and bones push their hands and feet into the fire pit? She still shook her head, "I don't want to use this brain. ”
"What about the deficit there?" He said, "Even if you can get through it this time, what about next time?" ”
She lowered her eyes, "No, you can only fill in it, you have to pass the difficulties." ”
He couldn't help laughing, "No wonder people say that the Tong family of the Internal Affairs Department has gold and silver mountains, it seems to be true, otherwise how can you have this kind of thought?" ”
Song Yin glared at him resentfully, "Aren't I out of line, can't you say something that makes me happy?" ”
It is true that the Tong family is rich, not only the Tong family, but anyone who is involved with the Internal Affairs Government has a thin family background. It's a shame to say this kind of thing, but it's hard to avoid being immersed in the big amount of money flowing out of your hands every day. Who doesn't know how to make money home? Everything is secondary, build a good home, provide good food and drink for the elders in the family, have a balance in hand, buy a house and land, eat rent and eat tiles, that's it. Song Yin's generation is not bad, she has been on duty for two years, although there are many opportunities, but she does not have the heart to fill her own pockets, she feels that the emperor wants two taels of silver to eat an egg, and this kind of account is reported to blush. But if she doesn't stretch out her hand, she can't shorten her, like those local officials and imperial merchants who send filial piety to their homes in order to communicate. So the Tong family is not short of money, and the account books she has seen, that number, ten generations can't eat it even if they lie down.
But never show up to the outside world, it is taboo to be broad, and it will lead to death. Therefore, when someone says "the Tong family is rich", we should immediately respond to "You have lifted us, we dare not be blindly rich", which is the most basic way to respond. Popular all read, but Song Yin didn't move out of that set for him, and always felt that it was not wise to tell lies in front of him, and it would make him look down on him. He is indeed an understanding person, and he told her that she must not make up for the deficit indiscriminately, "In case the emperor knows in his heart, but you close the account there, but something big will happen, and then it is time to track down your Tong family's family background." ”
The cool breeze was blowing, the lights were dim, and Song Yin had more clothes when he looked at him. I'm glad that he and her ideas coincide, in fact, it is also a moment for her to fill it, she knows that she can't fill this hole, it's not that she can't fill it, it's that she is afraid of falling into the emperor's trap. Since the replacement is against the will of the grandfather, then uproot the Tong family. Ignoring the law and discipline and being greedy and blasphemous is the best crime to sweep away future troubles.
Living in the palace, the concubines are intrigued, and people like them are not comfortable, so he said that sending people into the palace is really afraid of harming people. If the emperor is good, just wait for the empty time of Ah Pan. If you are favored, it will be unimaginable, will it be like Guo Guiren, flopping is equivalent to punishment?
She belched, "I'm asking you something." ”
What I said just now is quite serious, after all, the current situation is serious, and the attitude must be correct. But she suddenly changed her tone, leaned over slightly, and had a strange smile on her face, and his uncoincidental tendons were provoked by her, and she leaned over happily, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, sister?" ”
Song Yin was slightly reserved, "I want to ask you about Lu Run." ”
He pulled his face, "He's a prisoner." After finishing speaking, he added very firmly, "A real prisoner!" ”
Song Yin gave him a fierce look, "I know, if you are not a prisoner, you can't stay in the palace." ”
"Then what are you asking him for?" He thought about it and felt that it was wrong, the threat was a bit big, "You often come and go in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and you have more opportunities to get along with him than with me......"
This person always likes to compare himself, and even if he compares with Prince Yu, how can he still compare himself with the prison! Song Yin was helpless, "I either want to follow him, or I'm just a little curious about him." ”
Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, "It's not that you want to be with him, the prison is not all human, and you won't be happy with him." Lu Run, I can't find fault with him, he's a good person, he doesn't like to be public, he is very down-to-earth, he doesn't have any bad intentions, what are you asking him for? ”
Song Yin snorted and said nothing, "I just heard some rumors about him and the emperor." ”
was different from what she imagined, she thought that Rong Shi would at least make a fuss, but she didn't expect him to be surprised at all, coughed dryly, looked within a radius of fifty steps, and pretended to say: "Why are you so interested in this kind of hearsay, do you know that talking about the emperor is a capital crime?" Aren't you afraid I'll arrest you? ”
It seems that he knows some of the inside story, otherwise he wouldn't be like this. She smiled, "I don't want to talk about the emperor, I just care about Lu Run." ”
Rong Shi had a smug look on his face, shook his head and said: "It depends on whether I am willing to sue you, usually I only tell people close to me about this kind of insider/story, who are you, so easy to pry my mouth open?" ”
Song Yin looked at him angrily, this person is just drilling into the air all the time, just thinking of two words that he likes to hear. He sold customs here, which made her itch, rubbing her hands and calling the second brother, "You tell me." ”
Obviously, the second brother couldn't satisfy him, so he didn't turn his face and prevaricated at will, "Lu Run has served him well, and he will definitely be able to raise his palm print in the future." ”
Song Yin didn't want to hear this, he increased his strength, and changed from "second brother" to "second brother".
He turned his face and his eyes lit up, "Sister......
She shuddered, "Can you say it now?" ”
He still shook his head, "There is a lot of trouble in front of your eyes, don't you want to think about how to get out?" ”
She was already well, if the emperor insisted on wearing small shoes, then she would ask for help. No matter what, the first thing she wants to protect is the foundation of the Tong family, which has been in charge of the internal affairs government for decades, and cannot be destroyed in her hands. Now that you have a spectrum, there is nothing to worry about, there will always be what should be, there shouldn't be, and you can't find the library if you turn it upside down. Now that he is here, she feels that she has talked a little too much and wants to talk to him, so Lu Run unfortunately became their talking point. The juxtaposition of the two classes can develop from the exchange of gossip and slowly turn into a friendship of steel. Although this kind of thing generally happens between women and women, it can also be very joyful and harmonious when encountering Rong Shi, who is unusual.
She nodded, "This question has been bothering me for several days, and I have been wondering in my dreams, can you solve it for me." ”
He pondered for a moment and said yes, "But you have to give me the motivation to speak." ”
She consciously called out again, "Second brother." ”
He couldn't say it, "The portion is not enough, you have to call your relatives." ”
Song Yinhan's hair exploded, "What is this name?" I've never heard anyone call it that. ”
He said yes, "That's what Master Dong called on the day of his funeral." ”
Song Yin felt that he really didn't have a taboo, what kind of good words could be at that time, people are dead, how to make love and how to call it, can the living be the same as the dead? She was reluctant to agree, "Unlucky, not a good word." ”
But he laughed, "I have you to say this, and I am willing to die." ”
She turned to look at him, Qinghua's hearty eyebrows and eyes, hidden in the thin twilight, even more angular, like the person in the painting. Her tone became much softer, "I don't like this, don't move and live." It's not easy for us to live, so you are stupid to risk your life in order to listen to that sound? ”
Her words are clearly much more meaningful than the sentence "relatives", Rong Shi is very surging in her heart, and she likes the feeling of being taken seriously by her. She also saw that he had loosened, and got closer, blinking her eyes while the iron was hot, "I've always been very kind to see Lu Run, he helped me twice, it's a pity to be a prisoner for such a good person." There is such an unfair thing in the world, you look at those people in the city, kneading walnuts and raising horses, and not doing anything serious, just because they are in the banner, they have a fortune, and they can rely on the court to make a living. Lu Run is a Han Chinese, and he can't eat in the middle of his family, so he can only be a prisoner. If he had the same treatment as a flag man, maybe he would be able to get a champion and become a big official, and he wouldn't be like now, right? ”
Rong Shi didn't have as much emotion as her, "The hero doesn't ask where he comes from, he just has the power now, and the lost meat can't grow, and it's useless to regret it." ”
"Then are he and the emperor real?" He sat tall, she made it short, and when she got closer, she almost leaned on his lap. She inquired wholeheartedly, without taboos, "You said that the emperor has not had children for so many years, does it have anything to do with him?" ”
He lowered his eyes to her, "Woman, what a crooked mind. Not having a child is not the same thing as not having children, the emperor doesn't have an elder brother, but he has a princess, which means that he has no symptoms. As for Lu Run...... he raised his hand and touched his sideburns, "as long as you love each other, you don't care about your mother's men and women." ”
Song Yin took a sharp breath, sure enough, it was expected, it was indeed true! Rong Shi was quick to speak, and the question that had plagued her for a long time was revealed by him like this, and he understood it all.
She was confused in her heart, "It's not easy to like a person and let the concubines of the harem sleep." ”
"Lu Run can't have children again, the emperor's heir is important." After he finished speaking, he remembered that he should keep it secret, and told her earnestly, "I have always been strict-mouthed, and this time I will tell you all, you can't publicize it." ”
She waved her hand, "Don't worry, I'm not stupid." ”
It's good not to be stupid, and the goodwill of each other is another level. In the end, the development of feelings still depends on more communication, regardless of what the content is, you come and go, and friendship is sublimated.
They talked happily and rejoiced. The moon was in the sky, Song Yin couldn't help yawning, looking at his corner, the face was a little fleshy, like a child who hadn't grown. Don't look at her usual majesty, she is very cute when she is confused, Rong Commander is like her, she can take it and make a person proud, there is probably no semicolon in the world except her.
His hand moved from the railing, wanting to touch her secretly, and she sits, just right, full of girlish tenderness when she is not wearing a hat, and her long hair is thick and braided, which hangs down to her waist. His heart was pounding, and it took courage for people with little experience to take a step. He once learned from his father and asked how to get close to the girl, and Rong Shi's answer was very simple, he was careful and diligent and cheeky. You should never expect a girl to stick to you, you stand up, the girl thinks you are not interesting to her, and immediately breaks with you. But you have to be careful to show goodwill, not to be anxious, to be steady, and to be calm. You see the girl you like, Hara DC, and people are afraid of you.
Just that, he can understand, and the later interpretation completely confused him. You have to be thick-skinned and calm, why is it so difficult to please a girl! He decided to ignore the secret technique and rely on his own skills to win. Like a person, every part of her is full of appeal. He hugged her and pinched her pimples, but they were all in a hurry, and he didn't have a chance to be fine. Now she was in front of her, her cloud-like hair, looking so flattering......
He really stretched out his hand, he was very nervous, and he was a little happy. But just as he was about to touch it, a supervisor jumped over and planted a thousand rice seedlings, "Little manager, Lord Tong, please come over." ”
Song Yin was excited, she actually fell asleep just now, she really damned. She answered, trying to stand up, but she couldn't exert her strength for a while. Rong Shi was still quick-eyed, he jumped down first, dragged her, and then the hand seemed to take root, and he couldn't shake it off.
Her face was red, her heart was tight, but she mixed it with a little sweetness, although she was very embarrassed, she did not reject it at all. He wields his bow and sword all year round, and has a thin calloon in his palm, warm and powerful. The tiger bone wrench on her thumb pressed against the back of her hand, and it was cold.
She snorted, "How bad, let people see." ”
He didn't speak, his lips pursed tightly, as if he was afraid that she would run away as soon as he let go.
Song Yin couldn't break free, and he was worried about entering the warehouse, "I'm going to send someone to urge me when I go back." ”
Only then did he let go, "It's better to pass this tonight, tomorrow is your birthday, don't spend it on this." ”
Who knows, it's a matter of luck. She was very helpless, "It's over here, I have to settle the account when I go back, I'm afraid I won't be idle tomorrow." ”
He sighed softly, "Then I'll take a leave of absence and come to the Internal Affairs Office to accompany you." ”
cares about a girl, so I plan to look at her with good eyes. She pursed her lips and smiled, "If Guangchu Si is on a business trip, can you still be flat there?" Okay, aside, I've got to get over. ”
I couldn't afford to delay, so I put everything I had to say, and the two of them hurriedly entered the sixth library. Fortunately, it's not bad news, Shuming pointed to a box for her to see, "It's really a ghost blindfolded, the last few boxes in the warehouse were counted and there was nowhere to put them, and they were closed back again, and this time I forgot about it." God forbid, I finally found it, or there will be a big mess! ”
But I was a little too happy, and all I found was four hundred and eighty taels of gold, as well as more than a thousand taels of silver and some precious stones, and I still couldn't close them.
Six warehouses, turning over the corpses for a night, Rong Shi did not leave until the fifth watch opened the palace gate. Soon after he left, the inventory was completed, and the situation was not optimistic.
Song Yin stood in front of the library door and was stunned, what should she do, she was helpless at this moment. Originally, I thought that it was not a set set set by the emperor and intended to let them drill it, but the gold was found, and the rest of the things are still missing. After going there to ask for help, it had to be determined that the emperor had harmed them, if it was not what she imagined, once she opened her mouth, she would sit down and return to Prince Shunyu, and openly oppose the emperor. This big hat is very buttoned down, it will collapse people's backbones, and if it is not good, the Tong family will be defeated, and it is not far from copying the family.
She broke out in a cold sweat, thinking about her plans last night, she was really dizzy. The sun rose, and a beam of light shone on her face, ** spicy and painful. She turned around and saw that there were five big locks hanging from top to bottom on the access control, and two seals were pasted on the cross, one was the payment of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the other was the payment of the Military Aircraft Department.
Shu Ming sighed, "Go back, go back and think about it, it's not a problem to stand here." ”
She followed Ama back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the writers began to re-settle the accounts, and she listened to the sound of the abacus beads, and her heart was so restless that she wanted to catch fire. She called Ama to her duty room, "It's really not only us who fill it in ourselves, I also said to Rong Shi, he is different, I am worried that the emperor will take the words and make trouble and check our family property." At first, because of the four taels of gold, I did hesitate. Now that the gold is found, one thousand and two taels of silver, even if it is made up, Long Live Lord has nothing to say. ”
Shu Ming glanced at her, "Girl, how much money do we have?" I am one hundred and fifty taels, and you are one hundred and fifty taels, and if you just talk about it, one thousand and two taels is not a small number. ”
"We still have Lianyin, you have 10,000 taels a year, and I also have 4,000 taels, isn't it enough to fill in this?"
Shu Ming shook his head, "I'm angry, I have to think about everything." If people are interested in finding fault with you, it is one or two, and you should be punished or punished. What I mean is to report to the emperor according to the truth, and use the Prudent Criminal Division, they will always have a way to dig out the truth. ”
That chaos is inevitable, all those related to the Guangchu Division will have to be tried, and there will be a big shock in the imperial court. Then, no matter whether it is found out in the end or not, their father and daughter will not benefit, and the first one will have to develop them.
She paced in the room with her fists clenched, thinking of Lu Run, although she didn't have a deep friendship with him, but she begged him sincerely, he shouldn't be able to see death without help.
She glanced at the chiming bell, took her hat off her hat and put it on, turned to go out, and Shu Ming stopped her, "Where are you going?" ”
She said: "I'm going to find Lu Run, now the emperor is in the court, the royal drive is by Tan Rui Zhang Luo, and Lu Run is idle." Ask him to think of an idea for me, and even if it is necessary to investigate it thoroughly, it is best to do it privately. Amma, if we really want to make trouble, we will suffer a big loss. ”
Shu Ming frowned, "Prison is not a good thing, you send it to the door, don't let people calculate." ”
She said she knew, "I can't allow him to do something, there is nothing in this world that can't be done with money." ”
