"Lord Shangshu, don't worry, these are my own legal income, and it is also the money I earned during this time, it comes cleanly, you can use it with confidence, and your adult will naturally use it with confidence!" How did Zhao Gou not know the doubts in Pan Lianggui's heart, and said it bluntly, without the slightest concealment.

Pan Lianggui was shocked and firmly refused: "This is my business, you can use the money yourself!" Now that I'm going to start a family, I have more places to spend my money. ”

"Lord Shangshu, don't be in a hurry to refuse my kindness!" Zhao Gou smiled and said, "I know that the adult is iron-faced and selfless, and he is a well-known virtuous minister, and this money does not mean to belittle or look down on the adult. It's just that I'm Zhao Gou's wedding, but the common people, even if I am the prince, I won't use the treasury at all, the money in the treasury is not mine, it has its own use, you don't have to find it difficult to do, you just need to say what I said, return it as it is, there will be no anything. ”

"As for the other 5,000 taels, this is happy money, and it is also everyone's hard work. If the adult does not accept it, then what face do I have to let the adult be the witness. Adults have every opportunity, and today I am Zhao Gou to work hard for the wedding, this is what adults deserve, and then talk about the grace of the past guidance, Zhao remembered it in his heart. ”

"If it weren't for the support of adults, how could I enter the court from the text, this kindness is really difficult to measure with money, and I hope that adults will not live up to Zhao's kindness."

Pan Lianggui refused again: "Since you say so, then I can't accept it." At the beginning, I was willing to help, and I also saw hope in you, the future of the Great Song Dynasty depends on you, I am old, I don't know how long I can live. If there is a successor to the Great Song Dynasty, I have no regrets even if I die. ”

"It's just that I'm very disappointed by you now, even if it's an ordinary person, you can't forget the responsibility on your shoulders. However, you have forgotten about it, and this is where I am most disappointed. I help not only because of the Divine Decree, but because I am willing, and if I don't want to, even the Divine Decree is useless. ”

"Are you disappointed with your adult now?" Zhao Goufeng smiled lightly and looked at Pan Lianggui with a smile.

Pan Lianggui pondered for a long time, and said in a straight voice: "Now you make me unable to see through, and it makes me feel even more mysterious. ”

Zhao said: "How mysterious? ”

"I can't say exactly, but that's how you feel to me." Pan Lianggui replied, "If you really give up, I really don't believe it; If you don't give up, but you don't understand your style. ”

"At the beginning, we all came to the house to pay a visit, if we really let go of everything, regardless of it, we can close the door and thank the guests. But instead of doing that, you gather together and solemnly express your thoughts, which doesn't make sense and doesn't make sense. ”

"At that time, I felt like a child who had a conflict with his father, and his mouth was full of complaints, which made me feel that you didn't let go of your heart. Moreover, this big wedding, if it is really an ordinary person, it is a great honor to be rewarded by the emperor, but you disdain it. ”

"Although you took out tens of thousands of taels of silver tickets without blinking your eyes, I don't know how you earned it. At first glance, you are refuting this, but in fact you do not want to consume the money of the treasury, and it has its own use. If you really let it go, you can gladly accept it and ignore it. ”

"The parents of those who gave birth to me, and the adults who know me!" Zhao Gou was secretly shocked, his approach was actually analyzed clearly by Pan Lianggui.

Pan Lianggui continued: "If you are judged by your merits, I think I can still see it; If I look like a woman now, I am full of complaints about the emperor, which makes me a little disappointed. It can be said that it is half sad and half happy. ”

"I, Pan, asked myself if I was worthy of the emperor and the people of Limin. If I take your 5,000 taels, then I will really become a person who sells fame and reputation, and a person who embezzles and accepts bribes, which is contrary to the principles of my life, this is a slap in my face! ”

Zhao Gou saw that Pan Lianggui said so much, in fact, it was a sentence, this money was not something he should take. If you take 5,000 taels, you will be uneasy for the rest of your life. However, the other 50,000 taels gladly accepted, and because the money was returned to the treasury, he took it with peace of mind.

There are many people who are honest and honest for a while, but there are very few people who are like this in a lifetime. Except for Yulu, they will not accept anything, there are too few such officials.

"The lord will take this money and reward it to his subordinates, guards and others, and the excess money will be regarded as if I lent it to the adult, and I will return it when I have the money." Zhao Gou's tone slowed down a lot, he was no longer aggressive, but he couldn't refuse to let Pan Lianggui take it.

In fact, there was indeed something wrong with Zhao Gou's previous tone, it was a feeling that there was no one in his eyes. Now he is more like Zhao Gou in the past, who is not surprised, not afraid of danger, and has a unique overall view.

"Why do you have to let me hold it, isn't it that he knows my ......" Pan Lianggui frowned, thinking about the reason.

After a moment, he was surprised again, "How do you know?" ”

"If you want to know, you know, if you don't know, you don't know." Zhao Gou smiled and said, "You can take this money!" ”

Pan Lianggui was silent, because he was a stubborn person, even if his home was dilapidated and ruined, he would not ask anyone for help. He was originally a person with a gentle temperament, but these days he is also a little irritable because of too many trivial matters at home, so he complains to Zhao Gou very much.

Because Pan Lianggui's seventy-year-old mother was seriously ill and had spent his family savings for treatment, he was unwilling to open his mouth to the emperor, so he could only bear it silently. Now that he has reached the point of exhaustion, he doesn't want to see his mother die even if he has a little hope, but unfortunately the family has no savings.

"Even so, you don't need so many taels of silver, a hundred taels is enough." Pan Lianggui's insistence on heart also had to bow his head in front of his seriously ill mother.

"Those people are all helping, just deduct it from here. You can take the rest of the money to treat the old lady, and if there is any leftover, you can buy a few clothes, and you can't be my witness, and you can't dress decently! ”

"Thank you!"

Pan Lianggui was grateful, and could only say these two words in a thousand words. There are a lot of people who are icing on the cake, there are too few charcoal in the snow, his temperament is there, there are too few friends in the officialdom, and almost no one wants to be a guest in his house.

Now Zhao Gou actually knows everything about him, and he also knows his predicament, but he didn't invite him with this, or whatever. However, Pan Lianggui still asked Zhao Gou a word: "Did you really let go?" ”

"I ......" Zhao Gou was originally perfunctory, but seeing Pan Lianggui's appearance, he replied seriously: "When the time comes, we will naturally see it." ”

"Sure enough!" Pan Lianggui was relieved, he knew what Zhao Gou meant, and nodded with a smile.

Until Zhao Gou reminded Pan Lianggui that the reward of those people was calculated according to ten taels per person, and one thousand taels were removed, and he didn't ask for his own share. In the end, there were four thousand taels left, but Pan Lianggui didn't ask for all of them, as long as three hundred taels, the rest was returned to Zhao Gou, and he also made an IOU, and then did everything to go back first and arrange his mother's affairs.

Zhao Gou looked at the IOU and the remaining silver taels, crying and laughing. Originally, he planned to be twenty taels per person, so even if the rest was given to Pan Lianggui, but he acted step by step, with a lot more, and set up an IOU, Zhao Gou just glanced at it and let people burn it. Because Zhao Gou didn't plan to really let Pan Lianggui repay the money, his situation Zhao Gou was clear, if he really repaid the money, I am afraid that Pan Lianggui's mansion would have no money available.
