Chapter Seventy-Three: Cooperation
Chapter Seventy-Three
Zheng Zongqi's hand held the handle of the knife again, all the secrets were known to Song Nan, he had no way to retreat, once a person had no way to retreat, he would burst out with infinite courage, which is also the reason why many people throughout the ages have cut themselves off to force their potential to explode.
It's a pity that Zheng Zongqi is different from those people, he was forced, and others took the initiative.
"How did you know this?" Zheng Zongqi said coldly.
"If people don't know, unless you don't do it, you do it, I know the way, it's that simple." Song Nan looked at him quietly, with a hint of ridicule on his face.
"In that case, I won't say more." Zheng Zongqi grasped the handle of Xiuchun's knife tightly with his palm, he believed that as long as the knife was unsheathed, the thin young man in front of him would be splashed with blood, and he had this confidence.
Song Nan suddenly laughed, pointed at Zheng Zongqi and said: "Stupid, I didn't believe that you would be stupid enough to be toyed with by Qiu Wu and Han Zongqi, but now I believe it, with your current actions, I have to admit that you are a brainless guy." ”
"Isn't it enough for you to humiliate me?" Zheng Zongqi's teeth chattered.
Song Nan stopped laughing and said coldly: "You actually want to do it with me, do you think that my merit in the Ulzhou Army is due to luck?" Master, I led a hundred soldiers to fight against seven hundred Tartar soldiers without losing, and the five Tartar cavalrymen didn't blink an eye, are you so confident that you can kill me? Not to mention the fact that there was a battle-hardened brother I had brought with me from Ulju standing outside the door; Since I know these things about you, why didn't I shake them out in public? Instead of talking to you privately in this secluded little hotel? That's because I want to save you, but you prefer to die by yourself, do you say you're stupid? ”
Zheng Zongqi was shocked and said: "Don't fool me, you know about such things, how can you spare me?" ”
Song Nan said: "Why don't you help you?" Although you plotted to kill people and set fire to the city, I couldn't deal with it, but you didn't agree, and it hasn't happened yet. As for your disrespect to me, I can understand you, you have been designated as a hundred households, but because of my sudden arrival, the chickens and eggs are beaten, and I will be indignant; And I've already checked, you didn't have any bad deeds before, and this time you were coerced into trying to deal with me, so I can't do anything to you just because I didn't do it once. ”
Zheng Zongqi was stunned and said: "So, didn't you come to me today to ask me for my sin?" Instead, you want to save me? ”
Song Nan snapped his fingers and said, "Exactly." ”
Zheng Zongqi said: "But...... How do you save me? I used more than 1,000 taels of silver from Mr. Han, will you pay it back for me? Also, they threatened me to announce that I had money to play with women but let my mother go to the Longqing Temple to queue up to receive porridge and rice to satisfy my hunger, and wanted to make me ruined, how can you help me? ”
Song Nan sneered: "What you think is beautiful, I want me to pay for you for more than a thousand taels of silver to play with women's money, and I will lose what you think." ”
Zheng Zongqi was ashamed and said: "I know that you can't help me, my life is over." ”
Song Nan shook his head and said, "It's not too late to make amends, it depends on whether you are willing to reform your ways." ”
Zheng Zongqi sighed dejectedly: "What if I am willing? I'm afraid it's too late. ”
Song Nan said: "It's never too late, as long as you cooperate with me, I promise to settle all things for you, those silver are the dirty silver they lured you into the water, naturally there is no need to return it, and your mother's affairs will be easier to handle." The best way to wash away the name of unfilial piety is to honor her well, go back and kowtow to Lingtang to admit your mistakes, Lingtang will naturally forgive you, and when someone is unfavorable to you, Lingtang will definitely come out to say it for you. As for that little phoenix, if you still can't feel that the woman is just a nursery they arranged to drag you into the quagmire, then you are indeed incorrigible. ”
Zheng Zongqi said dumbfoundedly: "I also feel a little suspicious, but I have been indulging in it and can't extricate myself, and today you said this, which woke me up." ”
Song Nan said: "Finally, you're not stupid, how about it?" Would you like to cooperate with me? After the incident, I promise that you are safe and sound, and continue to be your general flag. ”
Zheng Zongqi stood up and arched his hand and said: "If Song Baihu can really save me from the quagmire, I, Zheng Dading, will always be grateful for the grace of the adults for saving me, and in the future, I will serve the adults before and after the saddle, and do my best." ”
Song Nan stroked his palms and said: "Okay, you'd better remember today's words, I can pull you up, I can also step you down, follow me wholeheartedly, keep you safe and sound, if I have the ability to climb up, as long as you are smart and sensible, I will also pull you up." ”
Zheng Zongqi said: "I can swear, or I will cut my finger and swear." ”
Song Nan hurriedly said: "That's not necessary, use actions to show it, now is your chance to perform, I want to save you, and you need to save yourself." ”
Zheng Da hurriedly said: "Song Baihu, but please command." ”
Song Nan said: "Come here with your ears." ”
Zheng Da hurriedly bent down and approached Song Nan, Song Nan was talking in his ear while gesturing, Zheng Da nodded while listening, and after a while, he saw sweat on his forehead, rolled his eyes and asked, "Is this ...... Can it be done? My subordinates are afraid that they won't be able to perform well. ”
Song Nan said: "If you don't act well, you will wait for death, this will not happen, what else can you do?" ”
Zheng Da swallowed and spit, wiped his sweat, poured half a pot of wine on the table into his stomach, wiped his mouth and said: "Dry, I've had enough, the big deal is to go to prison, anyway, I have no way out." ”
Song Nan smiled and said: "You don't have confidence in me to say this kind of thing, and when this matter is done, I will teach you how to know my methods." ”
Zheng Dadao: "I'll go to find them, Song Baihu sits widely, and his subordinates can't wait." ”
Song Nan said: "Go ahead, remember not to show too many traces, the time to test your acting skills has come." ”
Zheng Da nodded and saluted and went out, Song Nan sat in the box with his cheeks on his cheeks and passed for a long time, it was estimated that Zheng Da had already walked away, so he got up and called Li Daniu to walk back to the yamen.
……
There was nothing to do in the afternoon, Song Nan thought about strolling around the street, looking for a way to make money, spending money by himself like flowing water, and there was no income at home, and the monthly income of the official position of Jinyi Wei Baihu was also pitiful, and the family relied on their own little money to eat and dress, and sooner or later they all became called Huazi; Besides, extravagance and waste have become a habit, from the old lady to Uncle Zhong and a few delicate girls, if they let them eat pickles and wear cloth patches, it would be a big joke.
Seeing that the shops in the market were thriving, I suddenly remembered that when Jiang Bin was in Ulzhou, he told himself how difficult it was to do business, how he needed backers, and how the government was exploiting Yunyun, and now I think about how much Jiang Bin exaggerated in order to pull himself into the curtain, and he didn't want to be rich as a giant, it was nothing more than a dilemma of changing his business and business, so Jiang Bin's set was naturally left behind.
When his mouth was dry, he saw a big bowl of tea stall under the big locust tree at the mouth of the alley in front of him, so Song Nan beckoned Li Daniu to go to the tea stall and sit for a while to drink a bowl of tea to quench his thirst; The two walked across the bluestone road to the opposite alley, and Leng Buding was hit by a person on the shoulder, knocking Song Nan to the ground.
As soon as Song Nan stood up straight, Li Daniu had already reasoned with the man: "What's the matter with you?" Do you walk without eyes? How did you go on a rampage? ”
A man with a thin body, a withered yellow face and dull eyes was lowering his head and whispering an apology: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the villain is in a hurry, and he didn't pay attention to bumping into the military master, please forgive me." ”
Li Daniu was about to say a few more words, Song Nan waved his hand and said, "That's it, but I just walked in a hurry, and it didn't hurt me, go, drink tea." ”
Li Daniu is right to think about it, there is no need to be so serious, so he straightened his clothes for Song Nan, and the two turned around and walked towards the entrance of the alley, Song Nan always felt a little strange in his heart, where did this thin man get so much strength, this collision made half of his body a little numb, so the ghost turned his head in a hurry, but suddenly saw the yellow-faced man peeking at him, and there seemed to be a smile in his eyes.
When the man saw Song Nan turn around, he immediately lowered his head, and said vaguely: "Offended, offended!" ”
Song Nan was suspicious, and after walking a few steps, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and when he turned to look, he saw that the person was really walking forward, Song Nan shouted: "That brother, you stand still, do you want to leave so cheaply?" ”
The man turned his head with a dull gaze, and Li Daniu said, "Brother Nan, didn't you say that you don't care about others?"
Song Nan had already walked over quickly, and said with a smile: "It's okay if someone else hits me, I can't spare this person." ”
