Chapter 168

In the corner of the small teahouse, Song Nan and Fang Datong sat opposite each other, the morning tea time had long passed, and the teahouse was empty.

"Song Qianhu, how is the matter going? It's been more than ten days, why is there no news at all? Fang Datong drank tea and asked a little complainingly.

Song Nan said: "Are you supposed to be a playhouse?" Get a mud and pinch the waist card of a deputy thousand households for you to take office? ”

Fang Datong said: "I just want you to hurry up, I can't stay in this Zhenfu Si Yamen for a day." ”

Song Nan looked out the window and said lightly: "It's useless to be in a hurry, you have to come step by step." ”

Fang Datong said: "Don't let Lao Tzu's pigeons go, don't think that I don't know what you're doing, you ordered someone to secretly investigate what happened after I returned to Beijing, when Lao Tzu doesn't know what I'm doing?" I can make it clear to you, Lao Tzu has nothing now, so let's play together. ”

Song Nan was shocked, his subordinates' visit to Fang Datong was discovered by him, but it is no wonder that Fang Datong is a hundred households of Jinyiwei after all, and he also understands the doorways of Jinyiwei, so it is naturally easy to detect under deliberate precautions.

Song Nan frowned and said: "Fang Datong, if you don't have a clean mouth, don't blame me for giving you a good look, is it a good thing for me to check your experience?" Don't you need to touch his bottom first to promote a deputy thousand households? These are all procedures, if you don't want to, I won't check it, and don't blame me if it can't be done when the time comes. ”

Fang Datong was stunned and said, "Why do you still need to check the eight generations of ancestors?" Why didn't anyone check me when I was promoted to 100 households? ”

Song Nan chirped: "Hundred households are also officials? All official appointments of 1,000 households and above need to be investigated, have you ever been a 1,000 household? ”

Fang Datong said ashamedly: "I see, but I blame you, forgive your sins, or I will slap myself a few times to dissipate your anger." ”

Song Nan waved his hand and said: "No need, it's not a few slaps that can dissipate our anger when we make a fuss like this now, you grabbed my handle and blackmailed me, I am very unhappy about this matter, what do you think, you actually play such indiscriminate means." ”

Fang Datong said with a smile: "Three indiscriminate? This is thanks to you and Jiang Bin, this is how we dealt with Wang Dan in the first place, have you forgotten? ”

Song Nan said: "Who is Wang Dan?" Who am I? Deal with Wang Dan because Wang Dan himself is a scumbag, how can I, Song Nan, ever be sorry for you? But now you have come to threaten me; I ask you, if I promote you to deputy thousand households, will you keep your mouth shut? Never to mention it to anyone again? ”

Fang Datong opened his mouth and said, "You must keep your mouth shut." ”

Song Nan said: "With the oath of your parents, wives and children and ancestors for eight generations, if you threaten each other with this matter again, you will be thundered five times in the sky, and there will be no place to bury your death, and your children and grandchildren will be prostitutes from generation to generation." ”

Fang Datong said angrily: "You are cursing me to my face, okay, let's tell you the truth, as long as you can take care of me, I plan to keep this secret in my heart for the rest of my life, but a deputy thousand households are probably not worth the price of keeping this secret, I know that you have great ability, and I will follow you when you are promoted and rich in the future, you don't want to get rid of me, otherwise I will stab you in the sky." ”

Song Nan sneered: "Sure enough, you are an insatiable person. ”

Fang Datong said with a smile: "No way, who told me to hold your life in my hands, from the day I decided to blackmail you, I didn't plan to let you have a good impression of me, people don't kill for themselves, our previous days are gone, I also see it, if you want to be on top these days, you need to do whatever it takes; Song Qianhu, you'd better get promoted and get rich quickly, I'm still waiting to pull the corners of your clothes and climb up, so that these dogs who see my jokes will lose their big teeth, and then Lao Tzu will clean them up one by one. ”

Song Nan's face turned pale, and he said angrily: "You plan to haunt me for the rest of your life." ”

Fang Datong smiled and said: "Don't say it so ugly, this is called win-win cooperation, but you once said it, I didn't understand it at the time, but now I have an epiphany." ”

Song Nan's last trace of pity disappeared, the other party Datong no longer had the slightest expectation, Fang Datong himself threw the last chance to survive out of the clouds, no wonder himself.

Song Nan sighed and said, "I'm unlucky, I've met such a bad star as you in my life." ”

Fang Datong grinned and said: "Just accept your fate, you can be content, at least you can live a peaceful and stable life, as long as you take me to live a good life with me, I will not do anything to you, of course, except that you force me to make a move." ”

Song Nan nodded and said: "Okay, let's talk about the right thing, your appointment has already been raised, and the report on your secret investigation has been handed over to Sun Zhenfu, and they have no objection to my face, of course, I didn't mention the ugly thing of you being swept out of the house and the problem of not being able to control your lower body, that is your private matter, and the promotion of official positions mainly depends on ability." ”

Fang Datong automatically ignored the sarcasm in Song Nan's words, and said happily: "Really? When will he take office? ”

Song Nan reprimanded: "How can it be so easy, there is one thing that is not easy to do now." ”

Fang Datong said: "What's the matter?" Commander Mou disagrees? Or does Xiao Zhenfu disagree? ”

Song Nan shook his head and said: "No, you know that although the promotion of officials above the thousand households of Jinyi Wei is the command of the power, it needs to be approved by the emperor, although the emperor will not personally inquire most of the time, after these trivial matters are reported, they are directly appointed by the celebrant and the eunuch, and Wang Yue will not make it too difficult, but the promotion of officials always needs a reason, such as political achievements and merit; And your approval can only leave a blank in the credit column, which is called how to report Commander Mu? ”

Fang Datong was stunned and said, "Is it meritorious?" Isn't it okay for us to kill the Tartar soldiers in Ulzhou? ”

Song Nan frowned and said: "But you have had it in Ulzhou, Liu Wufu was assassinated is your fault, the merits have already been offset, if you want to write this merit, you must mention that fault, do you want to write down and report the assassination of your subordinates but you can't find the murderer?" ”

Fang Datong smacked his lips and said, "This ...... The murderer is in your house, and although I can solve the case, I ......"

Song Nan said: "But as soon as you make it public, I won't be able to help you with anything." ”

Fang Datong rubbed his hands and said: "Yes, coming to the capital to nest in this Beizhen Fusi is not as big as the thousands of households outside yours to investigate, not to mention those dogs in the yamen even if there are cases that can't be handled by me, teach me how to have merit?"

Song Nan pondered for a while and said: "You have to find a way to solve this matter, hurry up and find a case to break it, and I can record it for you in the credit book, so that you can contract it to the celebrant to wear red." ”

Fang Datong frowned for a long time and said, "I'm afraid you still have to think of a way to do this." ”

Song Nan shook his head and said, "I can't help you with meritorious service, it's your own business, can't you do it for me?" ”

Fang Datong's eyes lit up and said: "Yes, yes, right, you just do it for you, anyway, you have so many cases in Zhengnanfang a year, don't you just take out a few and add them to my head?" ”

Song Nan looked at Fang Datong with disdain and said, "Are you crazy?" Doesn't you speak through your head? Are you from my Zhengnanfang? Why is the case on your head, isn't this fraud? Besides, all the cracked cases have a special person in charge, and they are recorded on everyone's head, do you want me to shove my fist into everyone's eyes and teach them to turn a blind eye? ”

Fang Datong spread his hands and said, "This ...... So what to do? You'll have to figure it out, I don't care. ”

Song Nan frowned and thought for a while and said: "Otherwise, I'll give you a clue, you went to solve the case yourself, and said that you found the clues and captured the criminal, and I haven't assigned this matter yet, so naturally it's your credit." ”

Fang Datong said happily: "Good way, what kind of case is it?" ”

Song Nan said: "Do you know about the arson case of the Lantern Festival in Zhengnanfang? ”

Fang Datong shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

Song Nan sighed and said, "What the hell do you know?" Waste one. ”

Fang Datong held back his anger and said, "Tell me about this." ”

Song Nan said with a straight face: "The two families in Zaoshu Lane had a dispute over the land, the Zhang family Ding Xingwang, the Li family was the only seedling, and the Li family suffered a loss, so they secretly ordered the Zhang family's house on the night of Shangyuan, burned the house to white ground, and burned seven or eight people to death; Li, who set the fire, fled, and our secret Chun visited for a month without finding it; But yesterday I sent a message from the dark chun outside the city, Li appeared near his aunt's cousin's house outside the west city, hiding in the mountains and forests near the left of Thirty Lizhuang outside Beijing, it seems that he relied on his relatives to send food and hide, originally my subordinates were waiting for hundreds of households to be arrested today, but now I have to let you take this credit. ”

Fang Datong exclaimed: "Arson murder? Seven or eight people died? ”

Song Nan reprimanded: "Otherwise, how can it be called a great merit?" Everyone is investigating, but isn't it a big face for me Jinyiwei to take the lead in solving this case? Don't worry, that Li is just a thin man, powerless, if it weren't for the fire, he might not even be able to defeat a woman and a child. ”

Fang Datong nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go get him, where is the specific location?" ”

Song Nan informed Fang Datong of the detailed situation, and reminded at the same time: "No wonder I didn't remind you, this guy is already like a frightened bird, if you want to take someone to be careful, once the villagers near the left find that a large number of Jinyi guards have arrived, they will probably report the news, my suggestion is to go while it is dark, and bring less people to swagger; If you mess up, I don't have a big case at hand, then you can only wait for me to have another big case in Nanfang to give you credit, and even if the case is out for a while, there may not be clues to solve it. ”

Fang Datong waved his hand and said: "It's not easy to take someone, this guy is just a civilian, why do you need to bring people to be alarmed, I quietly pretended to be a common person and entered the mountain valley and his hiding place to arrest him." ”

Song Nan said: "How do you get people, that's your problem, I originally wanted to accompany you to get people, but I still have to go to the palace to study, I can only wish you success." ”

Fang Datong said with a smile: "Song Qianhu has every opportunity, how dare I delay your kung fu, look at it, if you can't do this, I'm still a fart?" ”

Song Nan drank the tea in the cup, paid for the tea, and went out without paying attention, Fang Datong didn't move, he drank the tea one by one, his eyes gurgling, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
