Soon after Su Shi left Quanzhou, his condition became more and more serious, and he finally fell ill in Changzhou.

After Li Sanjian received Su Guo's letter, he set off to Changzhou overnight, people did not leave the saddle, it was day and night, and he arrived in Changzhou after nearly ten days, but at this time Su Shi had already died of illness at the age of 65, Su Shi died and left his last words to be buried in Shangruili, Juntai Township, Jiacheng County, Ruzhou.

After Li Sanjian arrived in Changzhou, he heard the bad news, mourned in his heart, bowed down in front of Su Shiling, and cried so darkly.

Li Sanjian lost his father since he was a child, and he had already regarded his mentor Su Shi as his father in his heart.

At the same time, at this time, Li Sanjian had complaints about the court and Zhao Ji for the first time in his heart.

Such a seriously ill old man, why did the court toss him so much? Li Sanjian was extremely angry in his heart.

After Su Shi's mourning period, Li Sanjian wanted to help the coffin go north, but was dissuaded by Su Shi's son Su Guo, and then had no choice but to return to Quanzhou, and made Quanzhou Dai Xiao mourn for three days.

At the same time, Li Sanjian's move was also criticized.

If it is not the funeral of the monarch's father, it is not allowed to make the whole state mourn.

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

"Slut, I'll beat you to death, you shameless slut!"

In a mansion of the Zhu family in Hangzhou, Zhu Mian whipped a maid and scolded through gritted teeth.

Zhu Mian's unclothed body was already covered with whip marks, and she was dying, and she was about to be beaten to death if she looked at it, and others wanted to persuade but didn't dare to persuade her.

Song Law is not allowed to kill the waiter, but this kind of thing is not reported by the people and the officials are not investigated, even if the matter goes to the government, the person who beats people is a rod or exile, and in the end it is a matter of ransom and fine.

Zhu's family is the home of wealthy businessmen, and the most important thing is money, so Zhu Mian is so unscrupulous.

"Stop!" At this moment, Zhu Chong, the father of Zhu Mian, walked in from outside, frowned and shouted when he saw this.

"Daddy, why are you here?" Zhu Mian saw his father walk in, so he had to stop, looked at Zhu Chong and asked.

Seeing that Zhu Mian had stopped beating, several subordinates hurriedly helped the waiter out.

"Go find a Lang Zhong and take a good look." After Zhu Chong finished speaking, he turned to Zhu Mian and said, "Mian'er, what are you doing here?" Why do you bother? ”

"Daddy, the child really can't swallow this breath." Zhu Mian said hatefully.

In June, Zhu Mian went to Kaifeng Mansion to welcome his relatives with joy, but the result was that people went to the empty building, and his bride Li Wanting actually eloped. . . A petite lady like a flower and jade actually disappeared, Zhu Mian is a chicken and an egg fight...

Such humiliation, how can Zhu Mian endure it?

Zhu Mian had the intention to spend money to get Li Wanting back, but Li Wanting eloped to Quanzhou and defected to Li Sanjian, that is, Li Wanting's "adulterer" was Li Sanjian, an official of the Great Song Dynasty, and a dignified governor of Quanzhou.

Quanzhou is Li Sanjian's territory, and when he goes to Quanzhou to catch people, no matter what the result is, he is bored by himself and humiliated by himself.

In this way, Zhu Mian is not arrested, nor is he going to court, and he fights a company with a Great Song Dynasty official who is favored by the emperor, and the result is self-evident.

At the same time, if Zhu Mian and Li Sanjian go to court, wouldn't everyone in the world know about such ugly things? The whole Zhu clan will be disgraced.

Therefore, Zhu Mian was in a dilemma, and he was about to be suffocated, so Zhu Mian was angry, so he often took people down and vented his anger with his own concubine.

"What kind of ability is it to take someone down to vent his anger?" Zhu Chong sighed and said to Zhu Mian: "Isn't that person just an official, isn't he favored by the emperor?" What's the big deal about that? ”

"Yes ... But... Zhu Mian said hesitantly.

"Although my Zhu family is a businessman, I am not afraid, so humiliating my Zhu family's dog men and women, my father will not let them have a good result." Zhu Chong said angrily.

"Daddy, do you have a solution?" Zhu Mian asked happily when he heard this.

"Well, you're also bright." Zhu Chong praised it and said, "Daddy heard a message. ”

"What's the news?" Zhu Mian asked.

"The children in the palace are going to go down to the south of the Yangtze River to purchase things in the palace." Zhu Chong replied.

"Tong Offerings? Which child is enshrined? What does this matter have to do with my Zhu family? Zhu Mian asked in confusion.

"You say you have a bright head, but you are... Don't you understand this truth? Zhu Chong glared at Zhu Mian and said: "Tong Guan in the palace, Tong Da is a celebrity in front of him today, otherwise he will not be allowed to go down to the south of the Yangtze River today." Mian'er, what do you think, they want to purchase things in the palace, and my Zhu family has been in business for many years, so what they need, we have what, at this time... ”

"The child understands what Daddy means, but... But my Zhu family sent it, will they accept it? Zhu Mian asked again.

There are many wealthy businessmen in Suzhou and Hangzhou, not to mention that there are as many as cow hair, but they also grab a lot of things, so the palace will not necessarily look for the Zhu family when they come to Jiangnan to purchase the things in the palace, and the Zhu family will send them to the door, and the palace will definitely use the things of the Zhu family.

At this time, the Zhu family couldn't find the door to give gifts, and they couldn't find their feet when they lifted their shoes. . .

"You're a good question." Zhu Chong thought for a moment and said: "The difficulty in this matter is that my Zhu family has never dealt with Tong Guan, and I am suffering from no one to introduce me. But it doesn't matter, Mian'er, Daddy suddenly remembered someone, through this person, my Zhu family will definitely be able to have a relationship with Tong Guan. ”

"Who?" Zhu Mian asked.

"In the past, Du Chengzhi, now this person is in charge of the position of lifting Dongxiao Palace, and he is in Hangzhou at this time." Zhu Chong replied.

"Daddy, who is this person?" Zhu Mian asked a little anxiously.

"This person's surname is Cai Mingjing, the character is long, the son of Cai Zhun, and the brother of Cai Bian." Zhu Chong replied: "Cai Jing has always been friends with the palace, and at this time, Tong Guan went to Jiangnan, how could he not know the truth?" And since Cai Jing was demoted to Hangzhou, he has always wanted to return to Beijing, so how could he not take advantage of such a good opportunity? He bribed Tong Guan heavily, paving the way for him to return to Beijing and return to power. ”

"But... But... Even so, what does this matter have to do with my Zhu family? Zhu Mian asked again when he heard this.

"Hey, Mian'er, in the area of Suzhou and Hangzhou, in terms of rare treasures, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, who can compare with my Zhu family? Cai Jing wants to bribe Tong Guan heavily, and he can't do without these objects. There is also a critical point, that is, your father and I once repaired a garden for the Cai family, and Cai Jing also helped my Zhu family a little bit back then, so I have some friendship with Cai Jing, and at this time, through Cai Jing, my Zhu family can have a relationship with Tong Guan. ”

"Color, color, color!" Zhu Mian was overjoyed, and said three "color" words one after another, and said happily: "As long as you can have a relationship with Tong Feng, and then serve him well, you can ask him to take down the pair of dog men and women to punish the crime." ”

"Hey, Mom." Zhu Chong sighed when he heard this: "Can you take a long-term view?" That pair of dogs and men hurt my Zhu family and lost face, and sooner or later they will be punished. At this time, ignore them for the time being, Tong worships the south of the Yangtze River, this matter is not only an opportunity for Cai Jing, but also a golden opportunity for my Zhu family, Mian'er, you think, my Zhu family is not short of food or money, there is a shortage of officials, there is a lack of people who can speak for my Zhu family above the court, and even... ”

"Daddy means... Zhu Mian asked.

"Exactly!" Zhu Chong nodded and said: "Daddy, I hope that in a few years, my Zhu family will be able to become a real official family, and there will be a place for my Zhu family above the court, and you will become the first court official of my Zhu family to hold real power, and by that time... ”

In addition to the imperial examination, there are other ways to enter the office, such as grace, recommendation, and gift, and it is completely impossible for Zhu Mian to rely on the imperial examination to enter the office, so he has to find other ways.

The officials who were admitted to the Song non-imperial examination were generally military positions, and they were basically military positions without real positions. But no matter what, no matter what the official position, as long as you can get the favor of the emperor, then you will definitely rise to the top and hold real power.

For example, Tong Guan, who is in the palace, is just a eunuch of the Ming Dynasty, who lives in the palace to worship a position, and is only a minister, because he has been favored by Emperor Zhao Ji of the Song Dynasty, Tong Guan can not only call the wind and rain in the palace, but also show off his power outside the palace, and even the important ministers of the court must respect him in person.

The world is the world of the Great Song Dynasty, and the Great Song Dynasty is surnamed Zhao.

"At that time, the child will definitely exterminate the dog man and woman and cut them into meat sauce!" Zhu Mian said hatefully.

Li Sanjian, Li Wanting, you dog men and women, sooner or later will fall into my hands, Zhu Mian then looked at the south and thought hatefully.

Li Sanjian, Li Wanting? Both of them are surnamed Li, so can you make a fuss about this at this time? If they are of the same clan, or even go further, if Li Sanjian and Li Wanting are brothers and sisters of the same clan, wouldn't they commit a big crime?

At this time, Zhu Mian was still extremely unwilling to let go of Li Sanjian and Li Wanting temporarily.

"The only thing is ... The only thing is that if you do this, it will cost my Zhu family a lot of money, and it will cost my Zhu family countless treasures. Zhu Chong then said to Zhu Mian with a heartache.

But this is true of everything in this world, the richer you are, the more stingy you are.

The money accumulated by the Zhu family at this time could not be eaten in several lifetimes, and it can be said that the family is rich and rich, but Zhu Chong is still moved and heartbroken.

At this time, if you want to bribe Cai Jing and Tong Guan, you will spend a lot of money, rare treasures, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, etc., if there is an effect, it will be repaid, if there is no effect, people will not do anything after receiving money, isn't it just a meat bun and a dog that has no return?

"Don't worry, Daddy!" Zhu Mian persuaded: "Money can make ghosts grind, can they still do things after receiving money?" Also, Daddy, don't you advise your child to take a long-term view? Therefore, the child thinks so, this time, we only think that we will invest some money in the transaction, and after a period of time, we will be able to recover the principal with interest, besides, Tong worships this time Jiangnan is not to purchase things in the palace? In this way, my Zhu family may be able to make some money. ”

"Haha, what Wu'er said is true!" Zhu Chong was overjoyed when he heard this.
