Chapter 660: How Much Is the Song Family's Face Worth (3)
Kong Sheng took a step forward slightly, his momentum was majestic, and his eyes were full of murder.
Song Bin subconsciously took a step back, feeling panicked in his heart.
Just when he was in a dilemma and didn't know where to go and how to deal with Kong Sheng's difficulty, he rode from the direction of Jiangning Ferry, and the sound of horses' hooves galloped like thunder.
Song Ning, dressed in a green shirt and civilian clothes, holding a sword, and raising his whip on his horse, suddenly appeared in the field of vision of Kong Sheng and Song Bin.
Xi Yuyu!
Song Ning's mount came to an abrupt halt, filled with smoke and dust. He straddled the horse quietly, staring at Kong Sheng from afar, not knowing what his state of mind was.
The corners of Kong Sheng's mouth twitched with an unfathomable indifferent arc, while Song Ning's stiffness gradually transformed into a strong and hypocritical smile. Song Ning never thought that he would meet Kong Sheng in this situation, this king of Jiangning County, whom he had never really paid attention to from beginning to end, made him very uncomfortable with a condescending height and posture.
Song Ning turned over and dismounted, took two steps forward, hugged his fists and bowed: "Song Ning, the transfer envoy of Jiangnan Yancao in Xiaguan, has seen the king of Jiangning County!" ”
Kong Sheng's expression remained unchanged: "The transshipment of salt is an important matter of the country, related to the fortune of the country, and the imperial court has entrusted the important task to Lord Song, which shows the importance attached to the salt in the south of the Yangtze River." Lord Song has been in the position of Jiangnan Yancao for more than ten years, right? ”
Song Ning smiled: "Yes." Xiaguan has been operating Yancao in Jiangnan for more than ten years, thanks to the favor of the Emperor Taishang and the current emperor, Xiaguan is grateful, how dare he not fulfill his duties and contribute to the country. ”
"The imperial court supports the Yancao army and entrusts you with the power to take charge of the army independently, which is to protect the Yancao transshipment, not to let you wantonly expand your personal power." Kong Sheng's calm voice turned and became even colder.
Song Ning pretended to be stunned: "The lower officials don't know why the county king said this?" Song only knows how to contribute to the country, how can he have the slightest violation of rules and personal selfishness? The king of the county was so reproached, and the lower officials did not dare to bear it. ”
Kong Sheng couldn't help laughing, the character of the Song father and son was probably a bit of the essence of his life. In terms of arrogance and insidiousness, a hundred Song Bin are actually inferior to Song Ning. And the reason why the nephew of the Song family is a party to the trouble in Jiangning has a great relationship with Song Ning's connivance.
This person is proud of himself in Jiangnan, and he doesn't even pay attention to Yang Qi, not to mention that he is a Jiangning County King who has not yet gained a foothold from afar - no matter how high the title is, but there is no power that really belongs to the County King's Mansion, what can he do? Besides, Song Ning thought that he had someone in the court, and Li Yu, the prince of the East Palace, was standing behind, afraid of what Kong Sheng would do?
Kong Sheng stared at Song Ning with indifferent eyes, the middle-aged man in his forties in front of him was slender, although he seemed to be very respectful when he stood there, but in fact, the arrogance in his bones was beyond words.
Kong Sheng said word by word: "Then please ask Lord Song, this king came to Zhongshan for an outing, why did dozens of officials and soldiers under Yancao go out to besiege this king here?" If it weren't for the fact that this king still has some self-preservation power, wouldn't he have died at the hands of you today? ”
Song Ning took a deep breath, a certain annoyance in his eyes flashed, for his own nephew, in fact, he has always had a headache, but Song An's parents died, and he grew up with Song Ning since he was a child, nominally a nephew, but in fact, there is not much difference from his parent, for the sake of the family bloodline, Song Ning turns a blind eye to Song An's nonsense most of the time. But unexpectedly, this little guy actually provoked Kong Sheng, the king of Jiangning County, and caused a lot of trouble for the Song family.
"The king of the county, Song has no way to teach the younger generation, this is not Xiaozi who doesn't know that the king of the county has arrived, and he inadvertently offended the king of the county, Huwei, which really makes Song embarrassed. Song asked the king of the county for his nephew Song An! ”
Song Ning pretended to bow to Kong Shengshi, but in fact, it was just a bluff and bowed slightly.
The two of them talked to each other, as if nothing had happened to these people around them. Song Ning's sudden appearance this time was obviously related to the conflict between his nephew Song An and Kong Sheng, in fact, Song Ning didn't take it too seriously, even if the people of the Song family were at fault, it was just a misunderstanding, anyway, you didn't treat you as the king of Jiangning County, why don't you forgive?
In Song Ning's opinion, anyway, he, the Jiangnan Yancao transfer envoy, personally came forward to apologize to Kong Sheng for Song An, which was already enough to give Kong Sheng face, and it was almost time to end, holding on to it would not be beneficial to anyone, and the Song family was not easy to mess with.
Kong Sheng's profound gaze was projected on Song Ning's body, if it weren't for the Song family's manipulation of the Yancao official army to become a private thug, Kong Sheng would not be as knowledgeable as a gentleman Song An. The Yancao official army sent out to besiege the king of Jiangning County, if Kong Sheng forbears this for three points, it will give the Song family face, but his authority as the king of Jiangning County will be lost.
"I also ask the king of the county to look at the face of Song and the Song family, and open the net, Song is grateful, and he will have his own rewards in the future." Song Ning said again.
Kong Sheng couldn't help but smile: "The face of the Song family? How much is the Song family's face worth? In Kong's eyes, it is worthless. Song Ning, you remember to Kong, today's matter, this king limits you to give an explanation to the county king's mansion within three days, if you dare to shield the murderer, this king will not spare you! ”
Song Ning was extremely ashamed and angry in his heart, he didn't expect Kong Sheng to not give him this face, and he also made orders and threats.
Song Ning took a deep breath and smiled coldly: "The county king, the lower official is still the same sentence, today's incident is just a misunderstanding, the lower official has apologized to the county king, if the county king is still ready to make a big fuss and not forgive, then the lower official can only wait and see what happens."
A sneer flashed in Song Ning's eyes, and he said in his heart: "The old man wants to see what you, the king of Jiangning County, can do to our Song family, Lao Tzu has been running Jiangnan Yancao for more than ten years, and the power in this Jiangnan does not dare to say that he covers the sky with one hand, but it is not much worse than the Yang family, if you are not interested, you have to get along with the Song family, then you can only bring humiliation on yourself." ”
"This king has been waiting for you for three days. If you are still indifferent after three days, don't blame the king for turning his face and being ruthless! Kong Sheng pursed his lips and whistled, and the white horse galloped from the nearby mountains and forests like a gallop chasing the wind, Kong Sheng turned over and got on his horse, turned around and looked around the crowd coldly, and then galloped away with a whip.
Song Ning's face was a little ugly.
Song An followed behind Song Bin and walked over as if he could, and just as he was about to open his mouth to defend a few words, he was slapped twice by Song Ning on the head and face, and scolded at the same time.
Song Bin cautiously bowed down and said, "Father, if Kong Sheng insists on holding on, what should we do now?" ”
"Since the old man gave him face, but he didn't have a face, what can the old man do? Hmph, if you want to move our Song family, it seems that he is still too young and vigorous and doesn't know how thick the sky is high - my son, take people back quickly, today's matter, the right has not happened, and in the future, stick to the door, live in a simple place, and avoid the limelight for a few days. Song Ning said softly, his eyes were cast on Song An, and he suddenly became furious, raised his hand and slapped him again, and scolded angrily: "You son of a bastard, how much trouble has you caused our Song family?" Go back and immediately think about it behind closed doors for the old man, grounded for a month, if you dare to go out and do nonsense again, be careful that the old man breaks your dog's legs! ”
Song An covered his swollen cheeks that were beaten by Song Ning, lowered his head, and didn't dare to say anything more.
