Chapter 241: Preparing to Get Rich
Gao Yu was usually moody and angry, and he seemed very personable, but this time he looked very annoyed again, and said, "Wu Song! You killed the assassin and saved the son of the Prime Minister, and even the emperor and the envoys of the Jin Kingdom, this is a big deal, why didn't you report it to me before? Do you think that I will hide your merits and not ask the court for a reward for you? β
Wu Song said: "Why did Lord Gao say this! That day, Wu Song only happened to encounter the assassin incident, and it was within his duty to make a move, and he didn't know the identity of the person he saved, so he didn't expect to be rewarded by the court, and he went to Cai's Mansion today only because Cai Gongzi mentioned it himself, Wu Song fully understood the ins and outs, and he didn't mean to hide it! β
Gao Yu turned his anger into joy and said, "In this case, you should ask someone to write down the experience for you." You are my subordinate, and it is up to me to report to the court and ask for a reward for you. Although the official position is not as good as the minister, but fortunately it is still trusted by the official family, and I will report to the official family, and I will not treat you badly! β
Wu Song understood that Gao Yu was pretending to be angry and deliberately pretending to be unhappy just now, but the purpose was actually to compete with Cai Jing to show favor to Wu Song in order to win over Wu Song.
Speaking of which, Wu Song was originally just an ordinary young man from Qinghe County, who came to Bianjing in order to find his brother, and was helpless, far away from Gao Yu and Cai Jing, the most powerful people in the Great Song Dynasty today, and it was not worth Gao Yu and Cai Jing to compete so much.
Moreover, he beat Gao Yanei and Ximen Qing, and made a fuss in Cai's mansion again, whether it was Gao Yu or Cai Jing, they should have hated him, it would be good not to frame and retaliate, so why compete to show favor and woo each other?
In fact, this is only because Wu Song has now been involved in the subtle interaction between Gao Yu and Cai Jing, the two traitors. The two traitors are vying for favor in front of the emperor, so the relationship between them is actually very sensitive and delicate. Whoever Wu Song falls to and what role he plays may affect the layout of the two traitorous ministers in the court.
Gao Yu originally needed Wu Song to help him train the new forbidden army, but now that Wu Song and Cai Jing have a connection, how to treat Wu Song is more likely to affect the interaction between him and Cai Jing, so he has to change his face again.
To put it bluntly, if it was just Cai Jing or Gao Yu, they could not take Wu Song in their eyes at all; However, once two parties are involved at the same time, then both parties will consider using Wu Song as a pawn.
Moreover, now that Wu Song actually killed and drove away the assassins, indirectly saved the emperor and the envoys of the Jin State, and made great contributions to the imperial court, it is entirely possible to be rewarded by the emperor. Therefore, Gao Yu and Cai Jing are even more subtle in their treatment of Wu Song.
Wu Song knew that he had actually begun to get involved in high-level political wrestling in the Great Song Dynasty. Gao Yu and Cai Jingjing are big traitors, and they both treat him as pawns, but he doesn't mind maneuvering between the two traitors, better protecting himself, and gradually improving his status.
He was originally prepared to be severely retaliated against by Gao Yu, and for the safety of Pan Jinlian and Lin Chong's mother, he took them to escape from Bianjing as a last resort, and for this reason, he deliberately cashed out the money that Ma Kui had invested in major shops.
This is also a complete policy of last resort. However, now that he has made great contributions and has become the object of competition between Gao Yu and Cai Jing, he has a new idea. The two traitors want to use him as a pawn, why can't he profit from the struggle between the two traitors?
After all, if he can stay in Bianliang, gradually rise through the ranks, and gain his position of power, it will help him make a difference in this era that is about to fall into chaos.
When I came out of the new forbidden barracks, it was already getting dark. Wu Song walked briskly, wanting to go back early and have dinner with Pan Jinlian.
As soon as he walked out of the gate of the new forbidden military camp, he saw a figure next to him, and he was about to come up quickly.
Wu Song suddenly became alert. Now that he has offended Gao Yanei, Ximenqing, Cai Yu and others to death, he naturally has to beware of these guys jumping over the wall in a hurry and bribing people to plot against him.
The man came to Wu Song, but his attitude was very respectful, and he immediately saluted: "General, please stay!" β
By the twilight, Wu Song looked at the man, only to see that he was a young descendant, with sword eyebrows and tiger eyes, and a jade tree facing the wind, quite heroic. I suddenly remembered: A few days ago, I went to those shops to exchange money, and I seemed to have seen this posterity, who was a small boss in a pharmacy.
Sure enough, Hou Sheng took the initiative to say: "My name is Lu Fang, I am the owner of Hang Seng Pharmacy, and the general came to my small shop a few days ago to exchange money!" β
As soon as he heard Lu Fang's words, Wu Song's heart suddenly moved.
On that day, he hurried to the shops to exchange money, and did not ask the name of the descendant. But now, the latter called himself Lu Fang, but Wu Song suddenly felt that the name was very familiar.
recalled carefully, and vaguely remembered that among the books I read in my previous life, among the heroes of Liangshan, was there a "little Wenhou" Lu Fang?
Lu Fang was originally from Guantanzhou. Ping Ai learned from Lu Bu as a person, so he used Fang Tian to draw halberds, and everyone called Xiao to be Wenhou Lu Fang. Because of the sale of crude drugs to Shandong, the capital was lost, and he could not return to his hometown, so he occupied this pair of shadow mountains and robbed his house. Later, together with Guo Sheng, the ancestor of the hero Guo Jing, he took refuge in Liangshan and ranked fifty-fourth.
Don't look at his ranking, he is not very high-ranked, but later, with the Liangshan team, he fought in the north and south, and repeatedly played against strong opponents. Later, Shi Bao, one of the four generalissimos under Fang La's command and considered to be the first fierce general at that time, fought for fifty rounds before he felt defeated and retreated.
Therefore, some people also believe that the heroes of Liangshan are divided into two categories: Tiangang and Disha, and Lu Fang may only rank second after Sun Li in martial arts.
In the book, Lu Fang was forced to go up the mountain to rob his house because he was selling crude drugs to Shandong at a loss, and the Lu Fang in front of him was like opening a pharmacy, so naturally it should be the same person.
Thinking of this, Wu Song asked, "Is it Xiao Wenhou?" β
When Lu Fang heard this, he was surprised and delighted, and said, "The general actually knows my nickname?" β
Wu Song said: "I've heard about it a long time ago, you made a good Fang Tian Halberd. It turns out that you are opening a pharmacy in Bianliang City. Anything to look for me, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it! β
Lu Fang lowered his head, seemed to be a little embarrassed, hesitated, but still raised his head, and said decisively: "This matter, I am really presumptuous." However, the general has kept the silver in my store for so long, and the exchange is a lot of a cent a few days ago, so you know that I can still keep my word, right? β
Wu Song said: "The silver money exchanged that day is indeed not wrong!" β
Lu Fang said: "So I will say it directly, if I say it wrong, General Haihan, only because I haven't said it." I was really desperate, so I could only try to find the general. Because I have my eye on a batch of medicinal herbs now, and some people in Shandong want it, if I traffic it to Shandong, I can make a lot of money. Helplessly, this batch of medicinal materials can only be sold whole, and after the general came to my store to exchange the silver money the day before yesterday, my money was really a little inconvenientγγγγγγ β
Wu Song said: "Do you want me to lend you money again?" β
