Chapter Twenty-Three: Please Enter My Urn (Part II)
(Ask for collection)
Song Nan didn't seem to be surprised at all, and when he saw Fang Datong getting up to leave, he didn't say anything special, he only smacked his tongue and said: "It's a pity, such an opportunity to make a windfall was lost like this, it's a pity." β
Fang Datong said: "I can't save my life, and I still need money?" β
Song Nan sneered and said: "It turns out that Jinyiwei also has a time when he is afraid, isn't it rumored that Jinyiwei is pervasive and does not catch wind in the outside world?" It seems that they are all rumors, and they can only bully and bully the common people, and they will immediately become cowardly when they encounter hard stubble. β
Fang Datong sneered: "Do you know what kind of consequences this sentence will bring. β
Song Nan said: "What I said is the truth, it is clear that this matter is a good opportunity to make a fortune, you don't dare to seize it, isn't it a cowardice?" You deserve not to be developed in this life. β
Fang Datong said angrily: "Don't think that you grabbed Lao Tzu's handle and came to be presumptuous, Lao Tzu is a hundred households in Jinyi, and I say a word in Ulzhou City is no worse than any commander who makes Zhizhou." β
Song Nan said: "So what? Isn't it a coward? β
Fang Datong laughed angrily, pointed at Song Nan's nose and said, "You are a brainless chick, do you dare to show such a false accusation full of loopholes, and treat everyone else as a fool?" Lao Tzu knew what you were going to do, it was nothing more than trying to force Wang Dan to let Jiang Bin go, but this method was too stupid. β
Song Nan said solemnly: "Fang Baihu, you have to be responsible for what you say, how dare you say that we are framing the king's commander?" Okay, in that case, Jiang Qianhu, you will send the human and material evidence to Datong Mansion overnight and hand it over to the Imperial History of the Datong Mansion Metropolitan Procuratorate, and by the way, tell them that you have already informed Fang Baihu of the Jinyi Wei Hundred Households in Ulzhou about this matter, but Fang Baihu chose to keep it secret. β
"You...... Shameless kids! Don't you dare! Fang Datong was taken aback, although he didn't believe that Wang Dan collaborated with the enemy, but everything could not be absolute, and he didn't dare to take this risk and be accused of harboring traitors.
Song Nan smiled and said: "To be honest, Jiang Qianhu and I don't believe the confession of the Tartar leader, how can the Wang Commander collaborate with the enemy?" But the question is, now that there is evidence, what should we do? I think we should protect the king's envoy and inform him of this, and you are the one who is the one to choose. β
"How did the king's envoys react? If he thinks I've framed me, haven't I fallen for you? β
Song Nan smiled and said: "You think too much, let me ask you, if there is evidence and material evidence to prove that you are a collaborator with the enemy, how would you react?" β
Fang Datong opened his mouth and stammered: "I...... I will prove my innocence. β
Song Nan smiled: "How to prove yourself? There are all the human and material evidence, but you can prove it to me. β
Fang Datong was dumbfounded: "I...... Father...... Everyone's eyes are bright, and they all know in their hearts that this is a false accusation......"
Song Nan didn't speak, looking at Fang Datong's embarrassed and annoyed appearance, he couldn't say funny.
"In short, no one will believe that I am collaborating with the enemy, and they will think that you are being framed." Fang Datong is exhausted.
Song Nan smiled: "Don't be stupid, I don't know how many people in Lu Dao are looking at you for an accident, how can others be promoted if you don't have an accident?" Even if you know that it is false, there will be a large number of people who choose to believe that you will not fall, will your superiors trust you from now on? Won't your subordinates talk about you behind their backs? Can you still gain a foothold in the brocade guard? β
Song Nan's words are not unbelievable, this is human nature, there is a rumor on the streets and alleys that a certain woman steals a man, even if he knows that the Tao is a rumor, when he sees the woman, there is always something strange in everyone's eyes; In today's world, others are happy is their biggest unhappiness, others are unlucky and lose their lives, although they gnaw on pickle gnocchi, they are still glad that they can still open their mouths to eat and walk with their legs, but the world is going down.
Fang Datong obviously knows this, he can't cross you, he stinks you, this is a trick of Jinyiwei, it is similar to what Song Nan said, how could he not understand.
Song Nan said lightly: "Therefore, it doesn't matter whether Commander Wang collaborates with the enemy or not, the important thing is that when you Fang Baihu on behalf of Jinyiwei came to talk to him with this evidence, what did Commander Wang's mind think?" Jinyi Wei can take people when he hears about it, not to mention that there is evidence, even if he finds out the reason afterwards, it is nothing more than the Tartar leader who knows that he will die and casually frames him, what is the crime of your hundred households? Jin Yiwei is already responsible for monitoring the words and deeds of spying officials and people, and you have nothing to do with your duties. β
Fang Datong's heart was shocked, he only considered the danger, but he didn't consider his own rights, although Wang Dan was a family member of the family and a member of the border town of the imperial court, but he still belonged to one of the surveillance objects of Jinyiwei, and he came to the door with evidence, and there was really nothing out of the ordinary.
"You make it clear that your attitude is to inform Commander Wang to be careful of the villain's frame-by, Commander Wang will not only not blame you, but will be grateful to you, then the matter will be quietly resolved, the final outcome of the matter is that you will get a large amount of hush money, Jiang Qianhu is one of the people in the know, and you will be exempt from punishment because of this, and you don't need to mention it at all, with the help of Jiang Qianhu, I can enter Jiang Qianhu to mix a salary and silver to support my family, killing three birds with one stone, don't you understand?" Song Nan's voice was calm, as if he was narrating a fact that already existed.
"But...... But ......" Fang Datong was moved, but he felt that it was inappropriate.
Song Nan said: "It's nothing, you don't dare to go, the thing is another ending, Jiang Qianhu was dismissed, and you will also be dismissed for embezzlement of minister's silver, as for the mere down, if I can't mix up the money, I will go back to study and take the exam, maybe I don't know if I can be lifted, don't forget, I'm a showman." β
On the one hand, it is three wins with one stone, and on the other hand, it is really not difficult to make this choice, Fang Datong suddenly felt that his IQ was too low in front of this little Xiucai, and turned his face to look at Jiang Bin and looked at Song Nan with admiration, Fang Datong felt a trace of comfort in his heart, it seems that he is not mentally retarded alone, this Jiang Bin is also a brain-dead.
There are still many things to do, and time is pressing, Fang Datong's joining is not so much to be persuaded, but to be forced to be helpless, in this case, joining is not voluntary, nor can it be loyal, there is a possibility of change at any time, so we must strike while the iron is hot.
Before leaving, Fang Datong asked to see the captured Tartar leader in the fictional situation, and also to verify the confession, but Jiang Bin refused on the grounds that he did not dare to take the Tartar captives back to the city and temporarily detain them in the willow fort outside the city, but promised to take Fang Datong to verify it tomorrow morning.
In this way, Jiang Bin may not have time to sleep tonight, because he wants to take people north, and he must catch a 'Tartar leader' back no matter what, and soon after Fang Datong left, Jiang Bin hurried back to the camp and took a team of soldiers out of the city to the north.
Among the three people, only Song Nan is the most leisurely, and the matter of capturing the captives is in vain, Jiang Bin has been in Ulzhou for so many years, it should not be difficult to catch a few captives, but the difficult thing is the follow-up action, although Song Nan will analyze the head of the Tao, but this is just wishful thinking, will Fang Datong tell the truth? Does Wang Dan eat this set? It's all unpredictable.
Song Nan sat alone under the grape trellis, squinting at the sunset in the west, unconsciously turning the tea cup in his hand, constantly thinking about all kinds of possibilities in his mind, where the accident happened and how to deal with it, this all needs to be prepared in advance, this is a gamble that costs his life, and he can never take a break to go back to study and take the imperial examination as he and Fang Datong said, because once the matter starts, no one wants to stay out of it.
"Song Gongzi, do you still want tea?" Fang Gu came to the grape trellis at some point, holding a thermos in her hand, and asked softly.
Song Nan came back to his senses and said with a smile: "I'm tired, I'll leave after another cup of tea." β
Fang Gu smiled and took Song Nan's teacup, changed the tea bag, poured hot boiling water, and then sent it back to Song Nan, Song Nan looked at her neat and light movements a little fascinated.
"Song Gongzi seems to be preoccupied." Fang Gu said intentionally or unintentionally.
"Oh? How do you see that? β
"The brows are tightly locked, and sometimes they exhale, this is a sign of chest and abdomen stagnation, how can the slave family not see it."
Song Nan said with a smile: "Is Aunt Fang so careful to observe every customer in the store?" β
Fang Gu's face was slightly red, and she blessed: "The slave family is rude, don't blame the son; The slave family just thinks that at the age of the son, there shouldn't be so many things on the mind, the son is the same age as the slave cousin Qingli, look at that Nizi, every day is crazy and doesn't know what the troubles are, Song Gongzi is much older, maybe there is a difference between men and women. β
Song Nan smiled: "Do I look old? β
Fang Gu pursed her lips and smiled: "How to say it, it just feels a little strange, I always feel that Song Gongzi does not look like he is sixteen years old, not because of his appearance, but because of a kind of ...... A feeling. β
Song Nan had to admit that a woman's intuition was keen, and she needed to know that her immature appearance hid the soul of a mature man, and her words and actions would naturally reveal things that did not match her appearance.
"The children of the poor are in charge of the house." Song Nan disguised and said: "I can't be promoted to the office, I can't ride a horse to kill the enemy, I worry about the future of my livelihood every day, and I can't be naΓ―ve." β
Fang Gu laughed strangely and said: "Song Gongzi is so humble, the slave family is the first time to see the thousand households of Ulzhou Wei and the hundred households of Jinyi Wei sitting there respectfully listening to a Xiucai talking about it, as far as the slave family knows, these two officials today are not easy to mess with, especially the Jinyi Wei hundred households Fang Datong, that is a powerful figure in Ulzhou City, Gongzi can climb their friendship, and say that he has no ability?" β
Song Nan was alert, Fang Gu showed unusual attention, this is not a good thing, could it be that as the legend says, people who practice martial arts have sharp ears and eyes, this Fang Gu eavesdropped on the conversation in secret?
"It's just that Jiang Qianhu introduced me, and there is no special friendship, how can Jinyiwei be a friendship that I can make with the people."
"Song Gongzi, there is a sentence in the slave family that I don't know whether to say or not."
Song Nan said: "I'm not a big person, what's the taboo." β
Fang Gu bit her lower lip and walked a few steps, then suddenly turned around and said: "Song Gongzi likes to make friends, it is a good thing for the slave family to know that the men have a wide range of friends, but to make friends must also have a choice, some people will not be able to get rid of it once they get wet, and they will regret it when the time comes. β
Song Nanqi said: "Miss Fang Gu seems to mean something, I don't know if I can say it clearly." β
Fang Gu's expression became indifferent, and she said softly: "The slave family's words are all here, whether you listen to it or not lies in the son himself, the tea is already cold, the son please use it, the slave family knows that the son must have a lot to consider today, so he won't bother." β
Fang Gu's indifferent attitude and a few clueless words made Song Nan suspicious, as if Fang Gu really knew something, and was hinting at something, but this entanglement was quickly left behind by Song Nan, and it could be seen that Fang Gu had no malicious intentions, it could only be because she was dissatisfied with people like Fang Datong mixed together, after all, Jinyiwei had a bad reputation, which was also out of kindness to herself, and it was inevitable that a clean and talented man with a net worth would be mixed with these guys.
Song Nan shook his head, drank the tea in the toast, took out a small ingot of silver and put it on the table, got up and walked through the bamboo forest, and left quickly.
In the small hotel, Fang Gu and Qingli stood in the back window and watched Song Nan's departing figure, Qingli said: "Cousin, do you say that this Song Gongzi is a good person or a bad person?" β
Fang Gu said softly: "I don't know what to do, but I can be sure that he is a scheming person, and he is not small, and he dares to argue with Wang Dan." β
Qingli nodded and said, "It's quite surprising, cousin, you said, can this plan of theirs succeed?" β
Fang Gu bit her lip and said: "Dog eats dog, it's none of our business who wins or loses, we have been in Ulzhou for a year, and the murderer who framed Xu Gongzi and Daddy has not been found out, this is what we should be concerned about." β
Qingli said: "Then why did you still say such things and warn him not to approach those people?" β
Fang Gu said coldly: "I just don't want one more person in the world who harms people, it's his business if he doesn't listen, and it's none of our business if he harms people in the future." β
Qingli nodded and said: "Now it seems that my cousin is afraid that he will be treated as a donkey's liver and lungs, cousin, do you think this Xiucai is a little similar to Xu Gongzi?" It's been three years since Xu Gongzi died, cousin, do you miss him? β
Fang Gu turned her head angrily and said coldly: "Don't say such things in the future, you don't have to worry about my affairs." β
Qingli spit out her little pink tongue, didn't dare to speak, turned to leave, Fang Gu stood quietly in front of the window, watching Song Nan's back disappear into the corner in the distance across the bamboo forest, her face was cold and waveless, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
