Song He is a well-known rich man in Hu County, known as the Song official, who is the fourth in the clan, and is also known as the "Song Fourth Master", like such a person, it stands to reason that there will be no contact with the secret officials from the capital, Jin Chunzhong thought that he was exposing his wealth at first, and was targeted by the local tyrants, so he sent someone out to inquire, only to understand that he might have guessed wrong.

It is rumored that one of Song Qi's younger sisters is the wife of Yin Cuo, the eldest son of the former prime minister Yin Buwu, Yin Wuwu has passed away, and his family is still an official in the capital.

Jin Chunzhong felt a little strange, with the status of the Yin family, how could the daughter-in-law have to be the daughter of a family, and no matter how rich the Song family was, it was also a common person, and it was not right to be in the prime minister's house.

Jin Chunzhong didn't have time to inquire carefully, and in the evening of the same day, Song Yu sent a housekeeper to the inn to invite guests from other places to a banquet.

Jin Chunzhong accepted the invitation, but there was some amusement in his heart, although he was not a senior official in the court, but he belonged to the emperor's close ministers, and his sister was a noble concubine.

If Song Qi doesn't know his true identity, he is arrogant, and he can't see outsiders throwing money in this county, if he knows, it is too stupid.

The banquet was arranged in a local private prostitute's house, there was no decoration at the door, Jin Chunzhong was the son of Xungui, although he had no status in the circle before, but he had seen the world somehow, as soon as he entered the gate, he saw the servants and mother-in-law who greeted him warmly, and he knew that this was not a serious family.

The master did not go out to greet him, Jin Chunzhong was brought into the living room, and a sumptuous banquet was set up inside, and a delicate woman got up to greet her with a smile, but still did not see the master.

"Where are the Song officials?" Jin Chunzhong raised his hand and motioned for the woman not to approach.

The woman was also interested, and said with a smile: "The fourth master will be here soon, why don't the officials sit and wait?" Let's talk casually. The officials are from out of town, right? Visiting family or friends? ”

"Passing by on business."

"I see, there are no specialties in Huxian County, everyone else stops for a night and leaves, and the officials stay these days, right? Tell me who it is, maybe we know each other. ”

The woman tried to find words, but Jin Chunzhong was perfunctory, and finally asked, "How long have you been here?" ”

The woman raised her hand and raised three fingers, "Three years, I've been tired of staying for a long time, I want to go to a prosperous year, but unfortunately no one is recommending me, where are the officials going?" Lonely on the road, do you want someone to accompany you? ”

Jin Chunzhong wanted to inquire about the clues of Yang Feng's family, but when he heard that she had only lived for three years, he lost interest, and got up and said, "If the Song official is here, please tell him, I am very busy." ”

The woman hurriedly got up, grabbed one of Jin Chunzhong's arms, glanced at her mother-in-law, and said, "Don't be in a hurry to leave, the official Song is here, and I think the slave family is not well entertained......"

Jin Chunzhong was not polite, he stretched out his hand to push the woman, the two were tearing endlessly, and a person walked in outside the door, laughing and said, "What kind of punch is this?" Count me in. ”

The man was in his forties, tall and strong, wearing a silk coat on the outside, a martial artist on the inside, and a loud voice and a beard, quite heroic.

The woman breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time let go of the guest's arm, and said with a smile: "Fourth master, the guest is leaving, and I will stay here." ”

Song Qi was not polite to the woman at all, and bowed his hand to Jin Chunzhong: "Huxian County is located in a remote area, only such remnants of flowers and willows, Brother Wanwang forgive me." ”

The woman's face was red, and she sat to the side, not daring to say anything.

Jin Chunzhong returned the salute, "Your Excellency is gracious, and in your heart, there is only one thing to doubt: Do you recognize me?" ”

Song Qi laughed, "The famous Jin Xuanyi, who in the world doesn't know?" Forgive me for my clumsiness, it took a few days to recognize my brother, and I was disrespectful. ”

The Xuanyi envoy is a temporary position, and Jin Chunzhong has already handed it in, and now he is just an ordinary free rider.

The other party recognized his identity, Jin Chunzhong no longer concealed it, glanced at the other people in the room, Song Qi comprehended, and shouted: "Go out, this is a distinguished guest from the capital, you can get it at a glance, and you are not qualified to serve." ”

The woman and the servant all left the room laughing, apparently accustomed to being scolded.

Jin Chunzhong only had one entourage to follow, standing at the door and not moving.

Song Yu invited the guests to sit down and picked up a glass of wine, "There are nothing good in our county, please talk about a glass of thin wine." ”

Jin Chunzhong pressed the wine glass in front of him, "Talk about things first, and then drink, otherwise, I feel uneasy." ”

Song Yu laughed again, put down the wine glass, and put away his smile, "Brother Tai is straightforward, I am not polite, Brother Jin came to our Huxian County to do things for the above, right?" ”

Jin Chunzhong was shocked, as far as he knew, the emperor had only given orders to him, and there was no one else around at that time, and he didn't even know about the few entourages who followed, how could Song Yu know? Could it be that Yu Wei of the Yin family is still there, and he can still find out the secrets of the palace? But what can the Yang Feng family have to do with the Yin family?

Seeing that Jin Chunzhong didn't squeak, a smile resurfaced on Song Qi's face, "I'll just say it bluntly, Brother Jin opened the price code yesterday, no problem, although Huxian County is small, this bit of silver can be made, but it can't be taken for a while, Brother Jin said, where to send it?" Beijing or Luoyang? When the money arrives, it will never be a day late. ”

Jin Chunzhong was stunned for a moment, realizing that he might have guessed wrong, "I have to know what this silver is used for, if the goods are so valuable, I will go and buy another batch." ”

Song He laughed out loud whenever he was embarrassed, "Brother Jin is really good at talking." His laughter came and went quickly, "Speaking of which, Brother Jin still doesn't understand what we want to buy in Huxian?" Why did Brother Jin come, we naturally have to buy something. ”

Jin Chunzhong was even more puzzled, but his face was silent, and he pondered for a while, "Since Your Excellency knows who I am doing things for, you should understand how much I have to do with it, and a transaction may kill me." ”

"Brother Jin is too worried, and we don't ask Brother Jin to do anything or say anything, as long as there is 'nothing abnormal'."

Jin Chunzhong walked around Huxian for several days, but he didn't see anything abnormal, so he was silent, waiting for the other party to reveal more content.

Song Qi leaned forward, "Brother Jin has been following the above for a long time, others have been promoted to the rank of knight, and Brother Jin is still a permanent attendant, why?" ”

Jin Chunzhong himself did not want to be an official, and the emperor wanted him to go to the criminal department, but he also refused, only occasionally cooperated with the torturers, but then said: "Why? ”

"There is no one in the court."

Jin Chunzhong frowned slightly, and Song Qi explained with a smile: "Brother Jin's back is against the big tree, but he must also be covered by branches and leaves on the tree to enjoy the shade." Like the King of the East China Sea and the second son of Cui, which one is not relatives and friends all over the court? They were promoted, and Brother Jin stopped, and this is the reason. ”

Jin Chunzhong became more and more surprised that a rich man could say such a thing, turned his head and motioned to the entourage at the door, asked him to step back, and then arched his hand and said: "Forgive me for not knowing Mount Tai with my eyes, which branch and leaf did the Song officials climb?" ”

The Yin family has no such ability, and Jin Chunzhong believes that there are others behind Song Qi.

"Haha, Brother Jin doesn't ask, I won't say, since I asked, I can't hide it, the former Prime Minister Lord Yin is the father-in-law of the sister."

Jin Chunzhong was disappointed and smiled reluctantly, "I see, why didn't the Song officials enter Beijing?" ”

Song Yu saw Jin Chunzhong's coldness, "Sure enough, it's the people around Your Majesty, and your vision is high enough." The former prime minister is not the current prime minister, even if Lord Yin's son comes forward in person? ”

Kim Chun-chung did not deny it.

Song Yu continued: "There are some things, I don't want to say clearly, I just ask Brother Jin to watch and listen more after returning to Beijing, Lord Yin has passed away, and the Yin family has not fallen." ”

"Yin Xiang's eldest son is in the Ministry of Rites, right?" Jin Chunzhong remembered that Yin Wuwu's eldest son was named Yin Cuo, who held an idle position in the Ministry of Rites, but he was only a five-grade official, and he was considered a petty official in the capital.

"That's right, Uncle Yin is the husband of the sister, but please Brother Jin take a long-term view, in less than three years, Uncle Yin will definitely be promoted."

Jin Chunzhong smiled and nodded.

"Brother Jin doesn't believe me?" Song Qi's eyes narrowed, looking like he was about to be angry.

"It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that I ...... When I first arrived in your place, I didn't know the customs here-how high do Song officials think they are 'big officials'? ”

Song He was slightly stunned, such a question was a bit contemptuous, so he laughed even louder, and said after laughing: "Brother Jin is cautious, he still refuses to believe me after all, and yes, Song Mouhu County's contemptuous husband, the locals regard him as a hero, and in the eyes of the capital, he is just an ordinary person." I'll talk about one more person, Brother Jin thinks it's big enough. ”

Song Qi stretched out his hand and dipped a little wine, and wrote a word on the table, with more strokes, Jin Chunzhong turned around and saw that it was the word "Jiang".

"Jiang Bingbu?"

There are several ministers surnamed Jiang in the court, and the highest official position is Juying, the secretary of the military department, and Jin Chunzhong thinks of him first.

Song Yu nodded, "My sister married Uncle Yin, and Uncle Yin's daughter married into Jiang's mansion, like a family, as for Lord Jiang, I don't need to say more, right?" ”

Jiang Juying has been in charge of the military department for more than ten years, and he is not from a family, but he is related to all the powerful clans in the DPRK and China, and he is indeed a "strong branch" on a big tree.

Jin Chunzhong smiled, picked up the wine glass and drank it all, Song Yu was overjoyed, and immediately accompanied him to drink a glass, "Brother Jin is an understanding person." It's a pity that there is no good goods here, but it also happens that a few days ago from the capital came a stunning color, and it will be sent to Brother Jin's room later. ”

Jin Chunzhong shook his head and refused, "I understand it, it's not good to go down, Brother Song doesn't have to bother." ”

The two pushed the cup and changed the lamp, the more they chatted, the more speculative they became, and after three rounds of drinking, Jin Chunzhong asked: "Don't blame me for being too careful, I have to ask more, this 100,000 taels...... Jiang Bingbu will admit it, right? ”

"Of course, why do I spend 100,000 taels of silver in vain, are you idle?" Song Yu drank a little too much.

"What does Jiang Bingbu want me to say in front of His Majesty, Brother Song also has to remind me, don't take the money to do things badly, but cause trouble."

Song Qi said with a big tongue: "With Master Jiang...... It doesn't matter much, but he will thank Brother Jin, anyway, Brother Jin just needs to say it to the emperor...... To say that everything is normal in Lake County is ...... That's it. ”

No matter how Jin Chunzhong tempted, Song Yu didn't want to say much, just persuaded him to drink and say some obscene things about women.

After drinking for more than an hour, Jin Chun advised him to leave.

Several of his entourages were not idle, and as soon as they returned to the inn, they said to him: "It turns out that this Song Qi is not a big man, his sister-in-law is a concubine for Yin Cuo, and he is shaking his majesty in the county." ”

Jin Chunzhong became more and more confused, who was Song Yu talking for? Think the emperor is investigating something? (To be continued.) )
