"The first way, find the official family to serve the soft, maybe the official family will see our interest and let us live. The second way, fight to the death......"

As soon as Pan Shu finished speaking, Shi Yuansun shouted, "Serve soft, does it work?" He made it clear that he didn't want to let us go, and we were soft, so didn't we let him slaughter? ”

"But if we fight to the death, it is very likely that we will follow in the footsteps of the Fu family......"

Someone whispered hesitantly.

Shi Yuansun glared and said viciously: "How can the Fu family compare with us, how can the strength of the Fu family be able to withstand the soldiers and horses of the imperial court." We are different, and if we join forces, we will definitely be able to teach the court a painful lesson.

Let's fight, even if we lose, we are not wronged.

If we don't fight and give in to him, we can only be tortured to death by him in endless remorse. ”

The faces of the crowd were ugly and silent.

Shi Yuansun hated iron and shouted: "If we fight, we may not lose." If we win, we will get far more than we think. ”

Pan Shu said with a gloomy face: "How many soldiers and horses can we influence?" ”

Shi Yuansun thought that Pan Shu was moved by him, and hurriedly said: "There are as many as 200,000 in the open and in secret, and if you count the Guangxin army of the Wang family, there are 250,000 soldiers and horses. ”

Pan Shu tilted his head, looked at Shi Yuansun, and said in surprise: "You persuaded Wang Deyong?" ”

King Deyong, Duke of Lu, is nearly fifty years old and is the son of the late Duke Chao of Wukang.

Wang Chao was a minister of Emperor Taizong's palace and was deeply trusted by Emperor Taizong and Emperor Zhenzong.

Wang Deyong can also be regarded as a general, during the period, although not as famous as Cao Wei and Li Jilong, but he managed the army well, led the soldiers and horses to fight a lot of victories, so he was deeply trusted by Emperor Zhenzong and Zhao Zhen.

He has been holding an important position.

After Zhao Zhen ascended the throne, Wang Deyong was sent to Bozhou to guard Jingdong East Road and Hebei East Road.

There have been great changes in Bianjing City several times, and the Great Song Dynasty has fought several foreign wars, but he has not been sent back to Beijing, not because he is not capable, but because Emperor Zhenzong Zhao Heng and Zhao Zhen both believe in him.

Knowing that he is located on Jingdong East Road and Hebei East Road, he must be able to ensure that nothing goes wrong and there will be no backyard fire.

Shi Yuansun opened his mouth and said that the Guangxin army led by Wang Deyong would also fight to the death, and Pan Shu was naturally surprised.

You must know that Wang Deyong and his father are the descendants of the Taizong lineage and the diehard party of the Taizong lineage.

How could he go against Zhao Zhen?

Shi Yuansun heard Pan Shu's words, and snorted coldly: "He is going to clean up all of us now, and the Wang family is also in the liquidation, I don't believe that Wang Deyong will be indifferent......"

Pan Shu squinted, stared at Shi Yuansun and said, "So...... You didn't send anyone to contact Wang Deyong at all? ”

Shi Yuansun said: "I will send someone to contact him when I turn around, and I believe that he will definitely fight to the death with us." With the example of the Gao family in front of me, I don't believe he would be indifferent. ”

Pan Shu held his stomach in his heart, and said to Shi Yuansun: "Then you quickly send someone to contact you, once Wang Deyong has an echo, you immediately send someone to tell me." ”

Shi Yuansun saw that Pan Shu had the intention of fighting to the death, and immediately agreed: "I will go back to the house now and send someone to contact Wang Deyong." It's just that Wang De employs people in Bozhou, and it may take more than ten days to come and go.

I'm afraid he won't give us more than ten days. ”

Pan Shu said decisively: "I will find a way to help you delay some time." ”

"What can you do?"

Shi Yuansun couldn't help but ask.

Pan Shu glanced at Shi Yuansun and said lightly: "Send someone to intercept and kill the tongue that was caught......"

Shi Yuansun was slightly stunned, thought about it for a while, and felt that Pan Shu's method was good, so he believed Pan Shu's words.

Immediately, several people didn't say anything more and left the Shifu Courtyard separately.

After Pan Shu returned home, he hurriedly went to the study.

Pan Shu's father, Pan Chengyu, was reading a book in the study.

After seeing Pan Shu, he said nonchalantly: "Are you going to see Shi Yuansun again?" ”

Pan Shu didn't hide it, and nodded decisively, "Yes, the child went to see Shi Yuansun." ”

Pan Chengyu stared at Pan Shu and sighed: "I've already lost once, and I'm still unwilling to admit defeat?" ”

Pan Shu gritted his teeth and said: "The official family wants to take back the wealth that my Pan family has won for generations, and the child is naturally unwilling." ”

Pan Chengyu stared at Pan Shu and said earnestly: "The official family never said that he wanted to take back our wealth, he just wanted to take back the power in our hands. ”

Pan Shu stubbornly said: "But if we have no power, how can we keep the wealth in our hands?" ”

Pan Chengyu stared at Pan Shu and frowned: "Then have you ever considered whether those powers belong to you or not?" If you really want to be power, you should obey the orders of the officials, remove yourself as a relative of the emperor, go to participate in the civil or military affairs, take the official career, stand on the court with dignity, and hold the power in your hands openly.

You've always felt that you're the smartest one of your generation.

But are you really the smartest one?

Let's not talk about Kou Ji's demon.

Let's take Cao Tong and Li Weixian.

Cao Tong is not as smart as you, but he has more vision than you.

The Koji he came into contact with you.

You think that Kou Ji is just a grandson recognized by Kou Zhun with his status and status, so he coped with it on the surface, but he never had a deep friendship with him.

On the contrary, it was Cao Tong who put down his figure, dated Kou Ji, and even surrendered his identity and called Kou Ji a brother.

Now, Cao Tong relies on the irradiation of Kou Ji, holding a word Jiaozi shop, and controlling the world's money.

Even if it is the money in the hands of the head of the household, it is not more than one-ten-thousandth of the money in his hands.

Although Cao Tong did not stand in the court, even some important ministers had to listen to what he said.

Li Weixian, you don't have a scheming.

Didn't climb up to Koji either.

But he went his own way.

When the official family decrees that the heirs of the family of the emperor's relatives can be removed from the imperial family, participate in the civil and military examinations as ordinary people, and serve the imperial court.

He decisively asked Li Zhaoliang, and after getting Li Zhaoliang's permission, he asked for the emperor's name.

I am now preparing for the exam at home and preparing to participate in this year's autumn festival.

You know better than I do how he learns.

After the temple test next year, there will be a place for the Jinshi.

They were the first of our martial artists to enter the official imperial examination, and they were destined to be remembered by the officials and the civil servants of the Manchu Dynasty.

Don't say he's a talent, he's a straw bag.

In order to set a model, officials and civil servants will quickly push him to the throne.

In a few years, there will be a place for him in the six ministries of the two governments.

And that Liu Heng who you haven't looked at once from beginning to end.

He is now leading the army all the way, holding elite soldiers and strong generals, and he is fixed on the title of the duke.

What about you?

What are you?

Relying on the shadow of his ancestors, he made up a Renshou master book.

Is the main book an official in Bianjing? ”

Pan Chengyu's words can be said to be heartfelt.

But Pan Shu sounded very harsh.

Pan Chengyu didn't care about Pan Shu's face at all, he stared at Pan Shu and continued: "You accompanied Shi Yuansun to mess around before, so I will let you mess around." The left and right are just robbing one or two Jiaozi shops.

Even if you are caught, you will not necessarily die.

But now that you've lost a game, you still want to keep making trouble?

If you continue to make trouble, you will only have one way left to rebel.

You won't die if you loot a word shop, but if you rebel, you will definitely die.

Not only will you die, but our whole family will be implicated.

Among them is the Pan family, which has blessed our ancestors for decades.

The Pan family does not owe anything to our ancestors and grandchildren, but we owe them to them.

You are not qualified to make trouble with the lives of the Pan family. ”

Pan Shu's grandfather is not Pan Mei's parent.

It is Pan Mei's adopted son.

There are different opinions about the origin of Pan Shu's grandfather.

One of them is said that Pan Weiji is a descendant of the Later Zhou Chai clan.

After Emperor Zhao Kuangyin of the Song Dynasty seized the Later Zhou Jiangshan, he handed over the descendants of the Chai family to Pan Mei to raise and changed his name to Pan Weiji.

This is just a rumor and has not been verified.

But there are indeed many doubts about Pan Weiji's origin.

After the death of Zhou, the four heirs of Chai Rong of Zhou Shizong, only Chai Zongxun, Emperor Gong of Zhou, retained the surname Chai until his death.

The other three heirs should have changed their names and disappeared in the vast sea of people.

Cao Wang Chai Xirang, disappeared, and it was rumored that he had changed his surname to Ning.

Ji Wang Chai Xijin, there are rumors that he died in the second year of Qiande, and there are also rumors that he is Pan Mei's adopted son Pan Weiji.

Chai Xixue, the king of Qi, is missing, and it is rumored that he changed his surname to Lu.

But regardless of whether Pan Shu's grandfather Pan Weiji is a descendant of the Chai family or not, it is a fact that the Pan family has always sheltered him.

Pan Shu risked the lives of the Pan family, and Pan Chengyu was naturally unhappy.

"Daddy...... I can't swallow this breath if I don't fight once......"

Pan Chengyu snorted coldly and said, "What are you going to fight?" ”

Pan Shu said in a deep voice: "If our families rise up together, there will be 250,000 soldiers and horses......

Pan Chengyu sneered: "Two hundred and fifty thousand? I don't think 25,000 is necessarily available. The news of the official family and Kou Ji's generous treatment of the soldiers has now spread all over the world.

But all the officers and soldiers in the army know that the official family and Kou Ji are very kind to them.

In this case, who will follow you in trouble?

Except those who are ambitious, and the tribes of the provinces, none of them will follow you.

You can deceive them with lies for a while and let them be of your use for the time being.

But once the official family's documents were transmitted to the army, some officers and men in the army would immediately turn against each other.

When the time comes, before the officials send troops to suppress you, the soldiers in the army will cut off your heads and sacrifice them to the officials. ”

Pan Shu gritted his teeth and said: "Shi Yuansun said that he could persuade Wang Deyong to join us in trouble." Wang De used the Guangxin Army in his hand, but the elite that their father and son had accumulated for decades for two generations. ”

Pan Chengyu laughed angrily, "Do you believe this?" ”

Pan Shu hung his head and did not speak.

He didn't believe it.

If he had believed, he would not have come to Pan Chengyu's study.

He looked for Pan Chengyu just to inquire about it.

Pan Chengyu glared at Pan Shu and said: "I can honestly tell you that as long as there are still people from the Taizong lineage sitting on the throne, even if everyone in the world is against it, Wang Deyong will not be against it."

The wealth of the Wang family was given by Taizong and the first emperor.

The Wang family can have today, and it is also irradiated by Taizong and the first emperor.

Not to mention investigating and punishing corruption, even if the official family takes back all the things of the Wang family, Wang Deyong will not say half a word of complaint from the official family.

In the past, Wang Deyong served as the commander of the Huan and Qing Second Roads, and when he played the imperial court, there were some mistakes, and the first emperor condemned him, and he didn't even say a word of complaint.

He is still like this to the first emperor, let alone the official family.

Wang De is very warlike, and what the officials have done over the years is deeply in line with Wang Deyong's intentions.

How could he be disloyal to the official family? ”

The implication is that Zhenzong Zhao Heng, who is contrary to Wang Deyong's temperament, Wang Deyong can be treated loyally.

Zhao Zhen, a person who is consistent with Wang Deyong's temperament, Wang Deyong will naturally treat him more loyally.

Lawangde used to get into trouble together, which is purely a fool's dream.

After listening to Pan Chengyu's words, Pan Shu already knew that there was no hope for the incident, but he was still unwilling in his heart.

Pan Chengyu seemed to see Pan Shu's thoughts, stared at Pan Shu, and said in a deep voice: "You have to remember that if the Cao and Li families don't move, my Pan family can't move." Among the big families, the Zhending Cao family can be said to be in the first place.

The official family will investigate all the cases of corruption in military salaries this time, and the Cao family will inevitably be greatly affected.

The Cao family did not move, which means that the matter has not reached the point where the fish is dead and the net is broken.

Jumping out now is no different from looking for death. ”

Pan Shu hesitated: "But ......"

Pan Chengyu said in a deep voice: "It's nothing good...... You sent people to loot the shop, but it didn't succeed, but it was calculated by the officials. That means that everything you have is under the control of the officials.

Maybe...... The officials have prepared their soldiers and horses, and are waiting for you to start an incident......"

Pan Shu was shocked, and said in astonishment: "Dad, why are you ......?"

Pan Chengyu sighed and said, "You want to ask me, how do I know that you didn't succeed in robbing the Yizi Jiaozi Shop?" If you had succeeded, you wouldn't have been here, and you wouldn't have wanted to take the last step.

Su'er, you have been smart since you were a child, and you can learn everything faster than others.

But now you are no longer smart.

You have been lost in anger and unwillingness.

The crux of the problem has been decided. ”

"Daddy......"

Pan Shu hesitated: "Isn't there any other way to protect my Pan family?" ”

Pan Chengyu was slightly stunned, and after thinking about it again, he said, "Maybe you can go and see Kou Ji......"

Pan Shu gritted his teeth and said, "I know he has a way to help us, but I'm afraid he won't help us." ”

Pan Chengyu glanced at Pan Shu, "You haven't seen him, how do you know that he won't help you?" ”

Pan Shu hesitated: "Let me think about it for three or five days." ”

Pan Chengyu pondered a little and reminded: "Don't be afraid of meeting people just because you did the thing of robbing the Yizizi shop." Since you didn't loot the money from the shop, then the money must still be in the control of the officials.

The money in the hands of the official family has not been robbed by you, even if there is fire in the heart, it will not be too prosperous, and there is still a way to calm it. ”

Pan Shu nodded and exited Pan Chengyu's study.

Pan Chengyu let out a long sigh after Pan Shu left.

Among the fourth generation of Pan Mansion, Pan Shu is the best.

The fourth generation of Pan Mansion is all looking forward to Pan Shuma.

Over time, Pan Shu also became the leader of the fourth generation of Pan Mansion.

Pan Chengyu knew that he was not the blood of Pan's family, so he had scruples about doing things and would not easily interfere in Pan's affairs.

But Pan Shu is different.

After he became the leader of the fourth generation of Pan Mansion, he decisively intervened in the affairs of Pan Mansion.

Several other boys in the Pan Mansion also listened to him and followed him around.

Even if he is an elder who gives orders in the Pan Mansion, it is not as effective as Pan Shu's kid.

After Pan Shu listened to Pan Chengyu's words, he stayed in the house and didn't go out.

But the others moved quickly.

Shi Yuansun and Pan Shu both moved their minds to take the last road.

But others don't have the courage to gamble with their lives.

Someone secretly begged Caofu.

There are also people in Ryan Town who happened to meet Kou Ji.

Everyone in Ryan Town knows that Kou Ji likes to eat sesame oil rings, and every morning he will go to Granny Cao's shop to eat a bowl of wontons and nibble on two sesame oil rings.

The Song people like to fry all kinds of food with sesame oil.

Sesame oil rings are one of them.

It's like a fritter, but it's different from a fritter.

The taste is also very different.

But even so, Kou Ji can still eat the taste of fritters from the sesame oil ring.

Kou Ji could have taught Granny Cao how to make real fritters, but he didn't.

Because the sesame oil ring can not only remind him of the future, but also make him recognize the present.

The hemp oil ring reminds him that he is a man from the Hereafter.

The hemp oil circle can also remind him that he is now in the Song Dynasty.

Two flavors, taste together, a little bit of taste.

Kou Ji liked this taste very much, so he often frequented Granny Cao's shop.

Of course, the people in Ruian Town didn't know that Kou Ji went to visit Granny Cao's shop because of the sesame oil ring.

They only thought that Kou Ji was taking care of Granny Cao's business.

The Song Dynasty was rich in oil, but ordinary people did not dare to fry dough rings in sesame oil.

Most people will only drop one or two drops of sesame oil into the bibimbap to enhance the flavor, and they don't dare to fry the dough with sesame oil at all.

The only people who could fry food in sesame oil were the rich and those who were high-ranking officials.

Therefore, the price of food fried in sesame oil will naturally be relatively high, and ordinary people can't afford to enjoy it, and they are reluctant to enjoy it.

So the business in Granny Cao's shop is very ordinary.

The reason why the people think that Kou Ji is taking care of Granny Cao's business is because Granny Cao's only grandson, who was a student of Wenchang Academy, followed Kou Ji to the northwest and died in the northwest.

The person followed Kou Ji and died outside, Kou Ji naturally felt guilty and took care of Granny Cao's business.

Kou Ji, as usual, entered Granny Cao's shop and found a place to sit down against the corner.

Not long after she sat down, Granny Cao appeared in front of Kou Ji with a bowl of wontons and two sesame oil rings.

Granny Cao is actually not very old, only fifty years old, but she was born poor, in order to make a living, in order to provide for her grandchildren to study, she works all year round, so she looks a little old.

Kou Ji looked at Granny Cao, sighed, and said, "You don't have to worry about food and clothing now, why do you have to work in front of you?" ”

Granny Cao smiled and didn't speak.

I turned around and went back to work on her.

Kou Ji said this not once or twice.

At the beginning, Granny Cao also explained to Kou Ji, but in the end, Kou Ji said too much, and Granny Cao didn't bother to explain.

Kou Ji saw that Granny Cao ignored him, so he didn't say anything and continued to eat by himself.

After eating two bites, a man appeared and sat across from him.

A middle-aged man in his thirties, dressed in a cyan robe.

After the middle-aged man sat down, he beckoned Granny Cao and said, "Old woman, give me a bowl of wontons and two oil rings." ”

Kou Ji took a bite of the oil ring, glanced at the middle-aged man, and said without being salty...... Granny Cao is a six-grade edict given by the official family...... Although her identity is not as good as yours, there are still seven Jinshi grandsons standing behind her.

If you don't want to be stared at and scolded by her Jinshi grandson in the future, be polite. ”

The middle-aged man looked at Granny Cao with a stunned expression.

After carefully looking at Granny Cao, he turned back to Kou Ji and said, "Are you ...... Lie to me? ”

Kou Ji pursed his lips disdainfully, "What is your identity, what is my identity, I can deceive you?" ”

Although Granny Cao does not have a grandson, she has seven more grandsons.

All of them are the heroes in the Wenchang Academy.

He is very filial to Granny Cao.

When Granny Cao's grandson died, she didn't leave any last words.

But his seven classmates did not dislike Granny Cao's background, and resolutely replaced Granny Cao's grandson and did their filial piety to her.

In the Hereafter, this is a great thing to do.

But in ancient times, it was very commonplace.

The middle-aged man was stunned and said, "Since she has such an identity, why does she still have a cheap business here?" ”

Kou Ji sighed and said, "His grandson likes to eat the oil rings she makes the most." ”

The middle-aged man was a little confused.

Kou Ji didn't explain it in detail.

The middle-aged man waited until Granny Cao sent the oil rings and wontons, and respectfully saluted Granny Cao, and then sat at the table with dignity, without eating or talking, just watching Kou Ji eat.

After Kou Ji finished eating his own things, he glanced at the middle-aged man and said, "Have something to say?" ”

The middle-aged man nodded decisively.

Kou Ji asked, "Go to the house and say it, or do you say it here?" ”

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly and said, "Since I came to see you, it's the same everywhere." Whether it is here or in your mansion, you can't hide it from other people's eyes and ears. ”

Kou Ji nodded slowly, and sighed: "I didn't expect you to be the first to find me." ”

The middle-aged man was slightly stunned, "You know we're going to find you?" ”

Kou Ji smiled: "So far, if you don't look for me, who else can you look for?" Go to the official's house? Can you say some things freely to the officials? ”

The middle-aged man looked bitter.

Kou Ji continued to laugh and said: "Speaking of which, I also have a grudge against you, if you come to me to save you, aren't you afraid that I will take the opportunity to frame you?" ”

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Don't be afraid, because you're not that kind of person." ”

Kou Ji smiled and nodded.

The middle-aged man's surname is Han, and his name is Yunsheng.

The son of the late Han Chongye, the general of Zuotunwei.

The grandson of the late Zhong Han Chongyun.

Han Chongyun is one of the founding heroes of the Northern Song Dynasty, the sworn brother of Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty, and the minister of the Bafu of the Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty.

In his later years, someone framed him for taking his own soldiers as his confidants, and Emperor Taizu of Song was furious and demoted his officials, and he lost trust.

After his death, he was posthumously appointed as a servant.
