In the early morning of the next day, Yang Yiqing went out with his entourage dressed neatly in the morning, and today he made an appointment with Shaoqing Zhou Dong to check the matter of the army's fields.

I thought that today would be a good start, and after the most difficult thing to deal with in Ningxia Town's military garrison was resolved, the other three towns would be much easier. However, only an hour later, Yang Yiqing returned to the Guanxue Building angrily.

Song Nan thought about it for too long last night and slept very late, just got up, and was drinking the millet porridge boiled by Yang Ko'er, and was happily eating hot steamed bun dishes. Yang Ko'er on the side sat with her cheeks on her cheeks and watched Song Nan gobble up, smiling very happily.

Suddenly, there was a sound in the hall below, and Yang Yiqing's angry voice also came: "Shameless! It's so shameless, I'm going to play this matter right away, it's just lawless. ”

Song Nan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly ordered someone to go down to check the situation, Yang Qian'er also hurried downstairs, and after a while, the guards came to report: "Lord Yang has been frustrated in his official affairs and is writing a note in the downstairs wing." ”

Song Nan frowned, put down the dishes and chopsticks, got up and went downstairs, and saw that outside the door of the east wing, a subordinate official of the Trilateral General Administration Office stood there tremblingly and rubbed his hands and sighed, seeing Song Nan coming down, a subordinate official hurriedly came forward to salute, Song Nan asked, "What's wrong?" Didn't you go with Lord Yang to inspect Juntun today? ”

The official sighed: "Don't mention it, I'm angry, and my lord is angry inside, and I'm writing a recital." ”

Song Nan stepped into the wing, and saw Yang Yiqing writing hard at the desk, his face was extremely angry, Yang Ko'er stood aside and bit her lower lip and looked at the angry father at a loss; Song Nan came behind Yang Yiqing, Yang Yiqing didn't realize it, the pen was like flying, and he was writing quickly, and suddenly he felt that his hand was stagnant, and he couldn't write anymore, and he looked sideways, but he saw a slender hand holding the upper end of the brush, teaching him to not write.

Yang Yiqing was furious, thinking that someone was making trouble, and he turned his head to scold, but saw that Song Nan was standing behind him, and the hand holding the pen was Song Nan's hand.

"Lord Song, how can it be you?" Yang Yiqing asked.

Song Nan didn't answer, reached out and picked up the half-written fold on the table, looked at it quickly, stretched out his hand and threw it into the brazier with a pop, and the fire ignited in a moment.

"Lord Song, what are you doing here? This is the song sent to the capital by the official, why did you burn it? It's just nonsense. Yang Yiqing's face was gloomy, and he reached out and slapped the brush on the case.

Song Nan smiled and said, "Lord Yang, don't be angry, it's not cost-effective to get angry." Miss Chloe, make your father a cup of tea to calm his down. ”

Yang Ko'er hurriedly nodded in agreement, and went out to make tea with her skirt, Song Nan turned her head and waved the two attendants in the room, dragged a chair over and sat opposite Yang Yiqing, and asked with a smile: "My lord, why are you so angry?" ”

Yang Yiqing was not good at playing temper in front of Song Nan, so he turned his head and said angrily: "These people are simply too shameless, they used such dirty means to deal with me, Zhou Dong is lawless, if I don't bring this matter to the court, how can I cure this despicable villain." ”

Song Nan said: "To be clear, your recital is full of indignation, and I haven't figured out the reason at all." ”

Yang Yiqing said: "You don't know, I was almost angry just now, according to the agreement, from today onwards, Zhou Dong will begin to inspect the army's tuntian acres and submit the number to me, these things will naturally start from the top down from the chief soldier Jiang Han; You know what? When I went to the General Soldier's Mansion, Zhou Dong was already here, and when he saw me coming, he directly handed me the file and said that Jiang Han's acres of land had been measured and verified. I was also amazed at his high efficiency and quick work, and when he called the dossier, he didn't drive me crazy. ”

Song Nan said quietly: "I guess the result of Zhou Dong's measurement must be that the number of jobs owned by Jiang Zongbing does not exceed the regulations of the imperial court, right?" ”

Yang Yiqing was surprised: "How do you know? You already know about this? ”

Song Nan shook his head and said, "How could I have known in advance, it's just that I expected these means." The fact that the king of Anhua cooperated with the rectification of Tuntian so happily makes me suspicious. I actually mentioned this suspicion yesterday, but you didn't care about my words because you were happy, and sure enough, they wouldn't give up their interests so happily, and this qiē is also reasonable. ”

"Reasonable? What you said is light, this is playing us as monkeys, King Anhua pretended to be a good person, and Zhou Dong relied on his identity to hide it for these people, this is an agreed show, but unfortunately you and I are being played around, which is really annoying to me. Yang Yiqing's face turned pale, and he coughed loudly with his hands on his chest.

Yang Ko'er walked in with a teacup, and when she saw this, she hurriedly stepped forward to support Yang Yiqing's body and wiped her chest for him.

"Lord Song, the old man knows that you have done your best, the people in the capital and the border towns are colluding together to make a show, we can't fight them for the time being, this matter can only be carried out if the court asks the emperor to speak, if these dogs are not punished, the national law will not tolerate it."

Song Nan looked at the angry Yang Yiqing and felt a little pitiful for him, this person was wholeheartedly for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, and his sleeves were upright, but he ran into walls everywhere, if he didn't recommend him, he would still be nested in the deserted grave forest of the white paper workshop. But Yang Yiqing is too naïve, although the sea has been up and down for many years, he still hasn't been able to see some rules, which is the reason why everything is not going well and he runs into walls everywhere.

"You can't write it." Song Nan said.

"Why? Shouldn't this matter be played? Look at it, the old man estimates that tomorrow Zhou Dong will send the deputy chief of the verification army in the army, and the commanders of the guards will make the results of the military attachés at all levels measure the same thing, the amount must be in line with the regulations of the imperial court, and there is no such as embezzling the army's tuntian acres, are we watching this dog deceive us in person? Yang Yiqing got up angrily and shouted angrily.

"It's not that you shouldn't write it, it's that you can't write it." Song Nan sat still and said quietly.

Yang Qian'er pulled Yang Yiqing's sleeve and said softly: "Daddy, even if you are angry, you can't talk to Song Gongzi like this, sit down, think of a way, and discuss." ”

Yang Yiqing was shocked that he was too out of shape, Song Nan in front of him was higher than him in terms of title and official position, although he was not his own official, but it was obviously unreasonable for him to be angry at him.

Yang Yiqing sat down with a long sigh, and said in a dumb voice: "If you don't play the imperial court, don't you pretend to be unable to do this?" Hey, it's too difficult to do something, I, Yang, have a sincere heart to serve the country, but I have nowhere to do it, and I can't think about it. ”

Song Nan said softly: "Why should Lord Yang be like this, there should be a plan to act, Lord Yang is just and disdainful of this, but there is a good saying, the gentleman is the law of a gentleman, and the villain is a villain's strategy, these villains in front of him are full of tricks, we restrain them with the way of a gentleman, how can we succeed?" ”

Yang Yiqing heard what Song Nan said, straightened up and said, "Could it be that Lord Song has already had a countermeasure?" ”

Song Nan said: "Lord Yang, Zhou Dong was ordered to come to measure the Qincha of Juntun to verify the tax rate, and no one can refute the amount he measured, because he is a Qincha, and you are doubting the fairness of the ministers sent by the emperor, which will cause a lot of impeachment, and the emperor will not like it." ”

"I know this, too, but as an official of the imperial court, how can I hide it for fear of impeachment? Isn't this aiding and abetting? ”

"Lord Yang, I don't know how to explain to you, if you want to get things done, don't be rash; Not to mention what kind of impeachment this concert will bring you, I even doubt that your recital will be sent to the emperor's case, you must know, who sent Zhou Dong this time, and what is his purpose? Whose hand is your letter going to pass by, and how will he react when he sees it? Don't you think about all these things? ”

Yang Yiqing calmed down instantly, the anger just now made his brain unable to think about the whole thing carefully, Song Nan was right, Zhou Dong was the person sent by Liu Jin, it was Liu Jin's recommendation that the emperor appointed such a Shaoqing of Dali Temple but came to cooperate with him to check the Qin Cha of Bian Beituntian, he actually understood that Zhou Dong was here to make trouble, and now this guy jumped out to make trouble, but he lost his mind angrily, which is not right.

It may be that happiness came too suddenly, the good news sent by Song Nan yesterday made Yang Yiqing feel that he had seen the sunshine, the greater the hope, the higher the expectation, the greater the disappointment in the end, and the more painful the loss, Yang Yiqing fell into this huge contrast.

"The performance is not half good for you, and it is not half good for the things in front of you, it is purely superfluous, so I burned your music. There is another solution to this matter, but it is hopeless to ask for the assistance of the imperial court, and the solution is in Ningxia Town, relying not on others, but on you and me. ”

Song Nan's calm expression and firm words made Yang Yiqing ashamed, he had lived for decades, and he was more than twice as old as the young man in front of him, but he was not as calm and calm as him, and he was really a little ashamed to analyze it clearly. Moreover, from Song Nan's words, Yang Yiqing heard the clue, Song Nan must have already had a countermeasure, this person has many strategies, and it is unknown whether he can really reverse the situation.
