Chapter Ninety-Four

Song Nan wanted to explain the origin of the bracelet, but after a moment's hesitation, the disappointment in Lu Qingli's eyes stung Song Nan's heart, the two cousins have been following him for more than half a year, and they have already regarded the Song family as their own home, and they are busy and loyal, but they have never made any requests; Now that he is going to reject them for the first time, it will obviously break their hearts.

Thinking of this, Song Nan no longer hesitated, and said with a smile: "Isn't it just a bracelet?" Even if it is the moon in the sky, as long as I can pluck it, I will climb the ladder and pluck it for you; The bracelet is of good quality, but there is only one, so I have never taken it out and given it to you, not because I am afraid of offending people. ”

Lu Qingli laughed and said, "Really? If I don't care, my cousin will do it if she likes it. ”

Song Nan said: "That's not possible, give the bracelet to Aunt Fang, and Ming'er will buy it for you to go to the street to see what is pleasing to the eye, you can't favor one over the other." ”

Lu Qingli naughtily blessed and said, "Then thank you Brother Song." ”

Song Nan suspected that Lu Qingli and Ye Fanggu knew the origin of the bracelet, and this time they deliberately tested themselves like this, but Song Nan didn't care, it was just a bracelet, and he made it into silver and handed it to Zhang Lun, could it be that Zhang Lun would be unhappy because of a jade bracelet?

Lu Qingli's ambition was complete, and Song Nan's performance made her very satisfied, in fact, Ye Fanggu didn't say anything about asking for the jade bracelet at all, but Lu Qingli made her own opinion, so as to test whether there was any ulterior agreement between Song Nan and the county lord, Song Nan agreed to this matter, which shows the importance of her sister and dispelled her doubts.

The two of them walked around inside and outside the store with their arms in hand, discussing the internal layout and furnishings, as if they had left this matter behind, and were concentrating on discussing the plan, when the footsteps outside the gate sounded, Li Daniu ran in with a sweaty face, and when he saw Song Nan, he hurriedly said loudly: "Brother Nan, I can find you, go back to the yamen." ”

Song Nan said: "What's wrong?" ”

Li Daniu said: "There is a big official in the yamen, Peng Qianhu is talking with him, he wants to see you by name, and he sent people to search all over the Fang District under his jurisdiction and didn't find you, I estimated that you must have come to the new shop, so I sneaked to deliver the letter." ”

Song Nan was stunned and said, "Great official? Little grandfather? ”

"No, I secretly glanced at it when I passed by the hall, it was a burly military attaché, Peng Qianhu didn't dare to sit, standing there and bending down to talk, I didn't dare to look at it, I'm afraid it's a big official."

Song Nan hurriedly led people to follow Li Da Niu to rush back, thinking in his heart along the way who was in a hurry to see him, the high-ranking officials he knew in the capital were Xiao Lang of Nanzhen Fusi except for the little grandfather, but Xiao Lang was a weak scholar, not a big black man in the mouth of Da Niu.

Entering the Jinyi Wei Yamen compound, Song Nan walked straight to the hall to the north, and saw several deputy thousand households and hundreds of households standing under the steps, talking in a whisper, seeing Song Nan, everyone stopped talking, and they all looked at him with strange expressions.

Song Nan didn't know why, and smiled like usual: "Hello adults, why are you so idle today?" ”

Everyone returned the salute one after another, with a look of envy in their eyes, and Hou Dabiao, the hundredth household, squeezed his eyes and said softly: "Brother Song, come into the hall, Commander Mu is waiting to see you." ”

Song Nan took a breath of cold air: "Commander Mu? Isn't it Mu Bin, the chief scoop of the Jinyi Guard Yamen? Why did he want to see his little hundred? ”

Song Nan didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly stepped on the steps in three steps and two steps, in the hall, Peng Wanli was bending over and pouting his ass and talking to a big black man sitting on the Taishi chair, when he saw Song Nan, he quickly straightened up and walked over quickly and reprimanded: "Song Nan, you are too disagreeable, where did you go?" More than a dozen groups of people searched all over the Fang District and didn't see you, but it can be seen that Commander Lu Daomu has been waiting for you for almost an hour. ”

Song Nan hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, there is a small case to deal with, chase people to Xuannanfang, forgive your sins." ”

Peng Wanli reprimanded: "The case of Xuannanfang has its own other brothers, and I want you to meddle in your affairs, why don't you come and see Commander Mou?" ”

Song Nan walked a few steps quickly, came to Mu Bin, who was sitting still, peeked at the biggest chief of the Jinyi Guard, who had a serious expression, thick lips, big nose and dark skin, and bowed his hand and said, "See Lord Mu, I am really sorry for the humble position waiting for the professor." ”

Mu Bin looked Song Nan up and down, his eyes and said in a low voice: "You are Song Nan?" ”

Song Nan said: "It's a humble position. ”

"Song Nan transferred from Ulzhou?"

"It's me, my lord."

Mu Bin stood up, with some doubts in his eyes, and slowly walked up to Song Nan and said, "Is the victory in Ulzhou your credit?" ”

Song Nan hurriedly said: "The subordinates are just involved in their affairs, and the brothers of the Ulzhou Weizhen Army and the Yamen of the Ulzhou Mansion have all contributed to it." ”

Mu Bin nodded, thought for a while, and said, "How dare you intercept the seven hundred cavalry of the Tartars with a hundred-man team in Ulzhou?" I see that you are thin and weak, and you don't look like an invincible warrior, which is a little strange. Could it be that the team of 100 you led is all brave men with one enemy against ten? ”

Song Nan said: "No, they are all ordinary sergeants...... Well...... There are also my brothers from the flag school of the Ulzhou Hundred Households. ”

Mu Bin said: "Oh? So how did you win? ”

Song Nan said: "The lowly martial arts skills are not high, they are not capable of fighting, they want to fight with the Tartars, and they should fight with wits and not strength, plus luck is on my Ming side, and it is inexplicable to win the lowly position in this battle." ”

Peng Wanli reprimanded: "What is this called? Commander Mu asked you the truth, how could you prevaricate with inexplicability? ”

Mu Bin turned his head, a pair of eagle eyes glared at Peng Wanli and said, "Did I let you speak?" ”

Peng Wanli was startled and snorted: "Subordinates ......"

"Go out of the ......," Mu Bin shouted without waiting for him to finish.

Peng Wanli's face turned pale, and he hurriedly bent down to salute and quickly exited the hall door.

The hall was silent, Song Nan lowered his head and beat the drum in his heart, this Mu Bin was intimidating, and he could also feel the faint murderous aura on his body, it was no wonder that he was in charge of the notorious spy agency of Jinyiwei, and his subordinates did not know how many officials and people Lu Dao had slaughtered, and it was natural to have a chilling atmosphere.

"Sit down." Mu Bin's voice sounded, and he himself turned around and sat on the Taishi chair.

"I don't dare."

"If you are told to sit, you will sit." Mu Bin said.

Song Nan thanked him, found a stool diagonally opposite him and sat down, raised his head, and saw that Mu Bin was looking at him with a pair of sharp eyes, as if he wanted to see through his heart, and wanted to bow his head to avoid his sharp gaze, but as a traverser, his confidence prompted him to look at Mu Bin for a few breaths.

"Very good, you are also honest in what you say, the disparity in the strength of the first battle in Ulzhou is extremely great, if you are a teenager who says that you can strategize and win a decisive battle, this commander will never believe it, you claim to have won inexplicably, I believe that it is true, not exaggerated, not boasting of credit, it is very rare." Mu Bin said slowly.

Song Nan hurriedly said: "Ashamed, ashamed." ”

Mu Bin said: "There's nothing to be ashamed of, luck is also part of strength, God help you, Tartar can only consider himself unlucky; After the victory in Ulzhou, you were transferred to the capital to take up a post, I was going to meet you for you, but I had no choice but to meet you until today, but I was a little slow to treat you. ”

Song Nan said: "Don't dare, Lord Mu is busy with official business, how can he delay his official duties because of his humble duties, and he has to thank the adults for his cultivation, if there is no adult care, how can he come to the capital to take up his post?" ”

Mu Bin nodded slowly and said: "This is what you deserve, then Jiang Bin has been appointed by the Ministry of War as the commander of the Ulzhou Guard, and you have also come to the capital, and the meritorious personnel have their own rewards, and the imperial court has also done what it should do." ”

Song Nan is still the first time to learn about Jiang Bin's recent situation, this guy has been promoted again, before he came, he was the commander of the affairs, and now he is the commander of the same knowledge, although the level is only half a level, but the rights of the same knowledge and the affairs are not only a star and a half, Song Nan is also sincerely happy for him, he has not been in touch for a few months, and he should write a letter to congratulate him.

Mu Bin continued: "The matter of Ulzhou is over, some things should be forgotten, rotten in the stomach, look at you are very shrewd, you should know the truth from the mouth." ”

Of course, Song Nan knew the meaning of Mu Bin's words, that is, to warn himself that he was not allowed to reveal that he had changed from the identity of Ulzhou Wei Baihu to Jinyi Wei Bai Hu overnight, and the cat in it would rot in his stomach forever.

Song Nan couldn't help but think of what the little grandfather Zhang Lun said to him a few days ago, from that conversation, Song Nan felt that in fact, this matter was already known to someone, it is true that things have changed too far-fetched, how can they hide it from the eyes of people with hearts.

"I understand that if you put 10,000 hearts, you will." Song Nan said solemnly.

Mu Bin smiled, raised his hand to pick up the teacup on the table, raised it to his mouth and stopped, tilted his head and said, "Do you know what I am looking for you today?" ”

Song Nan said with a smile: "Naturally, it's not for the adult past of Ulzhou, what is the specific matter, I will listen to it." ”

Mu Bin put down the teacup and said, "Have you heard about the emperor going out of the palace to inspect the 28 square blocks today?" ”
