Chapter 18: Shocking the Wine (Part II)

(Ask for collection)

Song Nan knocked lightly on the table, raised his head and pondered for a moment and asked, "You said that when the Black Mountain Fort was attacked that day, you went to Datong to visit friends, did you take leave with the officials, or did you arrange the affairs of the army?" ”

Jiang Bin said: "Leave is certain, as for the arrangement of affairs, according to the rules of Ulzhou Wei, after I leave, I can be under the jurisdiction of Shangguan, as far as I know, it is to command Tongzhi Huang Tong to take charge of the military affairs of my Beiqianhu, unexpectedly something went wrong." ”

Song Nan said: "That is to say, there was a leak when Huang Tong was in charge, but the responsibility after that was borne by you." ”

Jiang Bin said: "Yes, but what can I do, after all, something happened to the Beiqian household under my jurisdiction, although I took leave, I can't escape the involvement, and I have nothing to say." ”

Song Nan nodded and said, "Okay, the question now is, do you think Wang Dan and Huang Tong will put all the responsibility on you in front of the examination governor sent by the military subordinates, if so, what will happen to you at worst?" ”

Jiang Bin thought for a while and said gloomily: "It depends on how they arrange it for me, if it is just a dereliction of duty, I may be demoted to a low-level military position such as the general banner of one hundred households or lower; If it's heavier, it may be a crime to the end. ”

Song Nan said: "In that case, the efforts of Ling Zun and you in these two lifetimes will be in vain." ”

Jiang Bin sighed: "It's not to say, it's all because I don't know how to cater to me, and I also suffer the loss of temper, the generals of the border towns encroached on the fields of the military households, and drove the military households to cultivate for it. ”

Jiang Bin's intestines were blue, and he couldn't wait to pump himself a few big mouths.

Song Nan was silent, Jiang Bin was afraid that after this incident, he would choose to turn a blind eye to these corrupt things, under such an atmosphere, it is really sad to force people to join in.

"Maybe you can take the initiative to go to Wang Dan's mansion to ask for guilt, didn't you say that he was greedy for money and lustful? Send more money and money to their liking, say more good things, and maybe things will turn around. ”

"Brother Song, I won't tell you, the old dog is going to eat me this time, and I haven't used these things, I went to visit him with the five thousand taels of silver I had saved all my life, but the old dog actually told me what he had a clean sleeve and told me not to come to this set, and I was angry to death."

Song Nan was surprised: "This is strange." ”

"I estimate that he can't look down on 5,000 taels of silver at all, but I spend a lot of money on weekdays, and the savings I have accumulated over the years are only 5,000 taels, if I have 50,000 taels, I am afraid that he will not nod?" Jiang Bin said gloomily.

Song Nan shook his head and said: "It is said that this matter can be big or small, Wang Dan will not ignore the huge sum of five thousand taels of silver no matter how rich he is, he can keep you safe with his mouth, it can be seen that the incident you reported that day made him hate you to the core, and this time he will not stop if he doesn't knock you down." ”

Jiang Bin said: "Yes, the old dog holds a grudge very much, and on the surface he smiles like a good old man, if you offend him, he will bite you and take revenge; There are 100 households in Xicheng, and there is a good little widow in the city, who is a little beautiful, Wang Dan fell in love with the little widow and sent someone to tempt him with money, but the woman was unmoved, and informed the 100 households of this matter. The hundred households are also people with strong personalities, and they ran to question Wang Dan in person, but of course Wang Dan didn't admit it, and they fell out in two places; Soon after, the hundred households were transferred to the northernmost Liujiabao town guard, Liujiabao around the Tartar ranger nuisance is the most rampant, generally to be convicted of the prisoners will be arranged there, go less than half a month, then lose their lives, this matter everyone knows, everyone knows that the old dog is taking revenge for personal gain, you say that this old dog is not vicious. ”

Song Nan was shocked when he heard this, Ulzhou Wei was equivalent to the military division in later generations, and the commander was equivalent to the commander of the military division, the more border towns, the more resources and power were inclined to the army, creating the phenomenon of military power overriding administrative power, in fact, it was normal, but the constraints on the command of the army were smaller, and it also created a group of people like Wang Dan who were unscrupulous and unrestrained.

This matter is very tricky, according to the current situation, it is almost impossible to think well, Wang Dan is not in the oil and salt, and it is clear that he wants to trample Jiang Bin in the quagmire, how can he help him get out of trouble?

Jiang Bin felt Song Nan's hesitation, and he also knew that this matter was too tricky, and there was really no way to rush to the doctor, so he wanted to try his luck and see if this Xiaoxiu had a shocking hand, but now it seems that hope is gradually shattered, and Xiaoxiucai is just an ordinary person, I am afraid that there is no talent of Liu Ji Zhuge anymore.

Song Nan suddenly spoke: "Jiang Qianhu, what should you do if you are demoted to a small soldier?" ”

Jiang Bin said: "Then it doesn't cost me my life, not to mention that I can't get by as a soldier, Wang Dan only needs to send me to the walled fort in the tug-of-war zone to the north, and sooner or later I will die in the wilderness." ”

Song Nan said: "In this case, Jiang Qianhu must not hesitate to fight with his life, so as not to end miserably." ”

Jiang Bin gritted his teeth and said: "I've thought about it, if the old dog doesn't give me a way to live, Lao Tzu will go in with a knife at night and cut off his dog's head, and everyone will finish playing together." ”

Song Nan said with a smile: "That's not a good way, won't all your wives and children in your family be confiscated and punished." ”

Jiang Bin said: "Before I go, I ended the lives of my wife and my four sons, so as not to suffer sin, even if I die, they won't be able to live." ”

Song Nan said with a smile: "This is an extreme statement, but I already understand your intentions, you have such a desperate mentality, you can offer a strategy in the next place, and you may be able to save the defeat." ”

Jiang Bin grabbed Song Nan's hand in surprise and said, "Do you have a way?" Brother Song said quickly, you are my savior. ”

Song Nan's hand was in severe pain, and he hurriedly broke away from his big iron pincer-like hand, and there were already two black marks on his wrist, Jiang Bin hurriedly apologized, blaming himself for being too excited.

Song Nan didn't care, and lowered his voice and said: "This plan is the method of fighting for life, in view of the current situation, there is no room for reconciliation between you and Wang Dan, and you have the heart to fight for your life, so I proposed this method, whether it works depends on the number of days." ”

Jiang Bin said in a low voice: "Say it quickly, say it quickly." ”

Song Nan looked left and right, the hotel was empty and there were no other guests, the girl Qingli behind the counter was concentrating on fiddling with the needle and thread in her hand, the thimble and the bracelet touched each other and made a slight tinkling sound, in the backyard outside the window, the proprietress Fang Gu was using a bamboo pole and straw rope to prop up the collapsed grape trellis, wiping the sweat beads on her forehead from time to time, obviously not hearing the conversation in the house.

Song Nan lowered his voice and leaned into Jiang Bin's ear and whispered softly in a very small voice, Jiang Bin's face changed from eagerness to surprise, and when Song Nan turned around and sat down, Jiang Bin's whole person was already dumbfounded.

"This ...... This way...... It's too ......," Jiang Bin said in a dumb voice.

Song Nan smiled: "Jiang Qianhu is afraid? ”

Jiang Bin smacked his tongue and said: "It's not that I'm afraid, but I'm worried that the method won't work, if this method leaks the news, I will have no room for maneuver." ”

Song Nan took a sip of the wine glass and said softly: "So it's called fighting with life, if you can ensure that there is no leakage, the result must be unimaginable." ”

Jiang Bin said: "Why do you believe that it will work? The old dog is not a fuel-efficient lamp, if he doesn't buy it, plus he has a backer on it, what can we do? ”

Song Nan shook his head and said, "Jiang Qianhu, let me ask you a question, what is the advantage of a powerless person compared to a powerful and high-ranking official from a large family?" If the two are fighting, how can the powerless win? ”

Jiang Bin was stunned and said: "Where does the powerless and powerless person have the advantage of being compared with a high-ranking official? And how can you win? ”

Song Nan asked rhetorically: "Of course I can win, otherwise why could I get two thousand taels of silver and an old mansion from the Song Mansion that day, isn't that a living example?" ”

Jiang Bin scratched his head and said, "That's because ...... Because you're in charge, that'...... The Song family is at a loss...... Hence ......"

Song Nan smiled and said: "Jiang Qianhu, this is not the reason, you can win if you are reasonable, how can you be at a loss, don't you take advantage of reason but can't win." ”

Jiang Bin said suddenly: "Then what advantages do you have to talk about?" ”

Song Nan's mouth moved, and a few words popped out gently: "Barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes." ”

Jiang Bin slowly repeated this sentence several times, his eyes lit up, and he said in a low voice: "That's right, I mediated that day, and I didn't want to make a big deal out of it, if it reached the yamen, or if it was known to Jinyiwei, the Song family would not be able to send it for two thousand taels of silver, and the silver for the upper and lower dots would cost at least ten times; The reason why I came forward to mediate is also for the sake of both parties, if you sue the Yamen, you will inevitably be imprisoned, and the Song family will make a fortune. ”

Song Nan smiled and said: "That's the reason, how can I be afraid of wearing shoes with my bare feet, if I don't listen to anything, Lao Tzu has a bad life, and it's not a big deal if I lose it, how can a high-ranking official and a good person like me fight to the death, so even if I enter the yamen, I am determined to lose the lawsuit, and the Song family will never want to make a big deal about it; If Jiang Qianhu didn't show up that day, I guess the Yan family would definitely have a private relationship with me, that woman is much more shrewd than my half-brother Song Huan, the Song family does not have the Yan family in charge, how can Song Huan stand up alone. ”

Jiang Bin laughed and said: "You guessed right, after you left, the Yan family did lose the Song prince, and she naturally understood the stakes." ”

"The same principle naturally applies to Wang Dan, can you tell me who is most afraid of the official?"

Jiang Bin frowned and said: "It's nothing more than afraid of two kinds of people, one is afraid of the audit and participation of the imperial historians of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the second, the most afraid is the chasing wind of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, do you mean that our plan will be revealed to the people of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the people of Jinyiwei?" ”

Song Nan shook his head and said: "That's not good, we can't get rid of it if we really want to investigate it, things only need to be done fifty percent, people stand on the top of the cliff, and when someone wants to push you behind is the most scared time, if you really fall off the cliff, it's like that, so it is the king to surround but not kill, and it is easier to teach him to give in; Our purpose is not to burn all the jade, but to keep your position and help you survive this catastrophe, which is the ultimate goal; If you really push too hard, the result will be difficult to say. ”

Jiang Bin was overjoyed, got up and clasped his fists and praised: "After your analysis, Jiang's heart has brightened up a lot, just say that Brother Song is full of scheming, after all, it is extraordinary, and my old Jiang's eyes are poisonous enough, otherwise I would not ask my brother for advice." ”

Song Nan smiled and said: "Don't talk about these first, this matter has to be arranged carefully, so there are still many details to be arranged, I have to think carefully about the details, so let's do it, tomorrow afternoon, you and I will meet here, let's talk about how to do it." ”

Jiang Bin nodded and said: "Okay, tomorrow afternoon, we will wait for the big driver, now let's drink and eat, and I will arrange for you to join the army when we return to the barracks in a while, Brother Song has ten thousand hearts, you are my Jiang's life-saving benefactor, no matter what, I have to mention Brother Song to find a good way out." ”

Song Nan said with a smile: "I'm not busy with the military, let me inform my mother first, I guess she will object." ”

Jiang Bin said: "That's it, tomorrow morning, I will personally come to persuade Lingtang to reassure her old man." ”

Song Nan was noncommittal, the two talked and drank for a while, and when the red sun was setting, Jiang Bin got up and left.
