Chapter Twenty-Six: Seeing the Money
Prime Minister's Office.
Song Shenyan clutched his handkerchief tightly, eating absentmindedly, while secretly glancing at his brother from time to time.
"Yan'er, what's wrong with you?" The old lady looked at her daughter's soulless appearance, and felt strange in her heart.
"Miss, she ......"
"It's fine." Song Shenyan hurriedly interrupted Qiu Zhi and said with a smile: "Mother, I just don't have a good appetite." ”
Song Shenxiao raised his eyes and glanced at her, frowning, "If you have something, just say it." ”
Shocked, Song Shenyan pursed his lips and said tentatively: "Brother, how much money does our family have?" ”
"You're a girl, why are you asking this?" The old lady felt that something was wrong in her heart, "Yan'er, are you in trouble outside?" ”
"No, just ask." Song Shenyan hurriedly waved his hand, "It's just a casual ask, is there a ...... at home A thousand taels of gold? ”
"A thousand taels? Gold? The old lady was taken aback by this number, "Yan'er, don't scare me, how much does your brother earn a year?" I can't save that much without eating or drinking! ”
"No, no, I'll just ask." Song Shenyan lowered his head and poked the rice in his bowl, stopped talking, and was secretly angry in his heart.
It's all to blame on that Shen Jiaojiao, she must have done it on purpose!
obviously understands medical skills, why do you have to make a straw bag to confuse her?
If she had known that Shen Jiaojiao knew medical skills, she wouldn't bet with her if she said anything!
Okay now, it's only a few days, where can she get a thousand taels of gold?
In the past two days, she has counted her private money over and over again, and it is always only a few hundred taels, could it be that her dignified lady of the Song family wants to bow her head to Shen Jiaojiao for money?
That day, she admitted this account in front of so many people, if she was a debtor, how could she have the face to appear in front of Fu Ti in the future?
After dinner, Song Shenyan walked around Song Shenxiao's yard anxiously, wanting to step forward and tell the truth several times, but retreating several times.
What is the character of my brother, others don't know, don't you know?
As the prime minister of Daqing, he has always been self-denying, not only strict with himself, but also extremely strict with his family, if what he did outside was known to him, he would definitely take her to the door to apologize to Shen Jiaojiao......
Thinking of that scene, Song Shenyan gritted his teeth and turned around resolutely.
No, she wouldn't allow that to happen anyway!
Isn't it just 10 million taels of gold? She's going to figure it out!
"Prime Minister, raise your noble hand and spare me!"
"Prime Minister, the lower officials don't mean anything else, don't get me wrong!"
"Don't, brother, you're good, don't do this."
As soon as Song Shenyan turned around, there was a sudden rush of noise and pushing behind him, listening to the footsteps getting closer and closer, Song Shenyan hurriedly hid in the corner, and secretly looked out through the bamboo forest next to the arch.
I saw a short and fat man with a fat brain and a fat body, who was being pushed out by the subordinates.
He held a package in his hand, shouting Song Shenxiao's name while trying to break free from the people and rush back.
The subordinates were so annoyed that the strength in their hands couldn't help but be greater, and accidentally the fat man didn't stand firm and fell.
The burden on his hand then fell to the ground, revealing the contents of his hand.
Silver Ticket!
Song Shenyan's eyes shrank, and his heart pounded.
A package full of silver tickets, how much money does this have......
The fat man didn't notice her presence, he hurriedly covered his things, held the package in his arms, and got up from the ground.
What is in this is his life.
Song Shenxiao was unwilling to help him, he could find a way to find someone else.
If the things in this are gone, then he is really a god who can't be saved!
Knowing that this road was not working, the fat man finally quieted down, he broke away from his subordinates, hugged the things in his hand tightly, and walked out of the prime minister's mansion with his head bowed.
Slipping through the wall and about to leave, he suddenly heard a girl's voice, "You are looking for my brother, what's the matter?" ”
My brother?
Hearing her address Song Shenxiao, Qian Fatzi's eyes lit up, and he turned his head with a smile on his face, "Girl, are you ......?"
Suppressing the fear and excitement in his heart, Song Shenyan said proudly: "I am Song Shenxiao's own sister, Song Shenyan. ”
"Yo, it turned out to be Miss Song, the villain was rude." Qian Fatzi immediately made a big salute to Song Shenyan, and then said with a bitter face about his difficulties, "The villain is Kaiyang Zhixian, and I came here this time to ask Prime Minister Song's subordinates to be merciful and save my life." ”
Originally, Song Shenyan thought that it was not a big deal, and he might be able to secretly do him a small favor, but he didn't expect that this would involve the Kaiyang flood......
She didn't expect that those officials below would be so bold that they would even dare to swallow the money for repairing the embankment! And it's not half a star that is swallowed, but ninety percent!
This directly led to the collapse of the embankment of the Kaiyang River this year, the destruction of thousands of miles of fertile land, and the displacement of hundreds of people, with heavy casualties.
poked out such a big basket at once, and the Kaiyang officials who were eating vegetarian meals in the corpse were immediately dumbfounded.
The common people don't know what's going on, don't they know yet?
As long as the people above check, they will be able to find them all out, and by that time...... The head is light when it lands on the ground!
A few officials summed it up, simply, to hide this matter!
Anyway, a group of small people, and there is no way, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so it will be over after a coax.
Unexpectedly, the matter was not hidden after all.
I don't know who stabbed this matter to King Xiaoyao, and seeing that he couldn't hide it, he hurriedly came to Kyoto with his savings for activities.
Listening to his story, Song Shenyan gasped, "You dare to be greedy for the embankment repair?" ”
The fat man shrunk his neck in disappointment.
"Then why did you come to my brother?" Song Shenyan asked curiously. “
"Villain, villain doesn't dare to say ......" Qian Fat's fat mouth opened and closed, and he looked at Song Shenyan cautiously.
"Say!" Disgusted by his appearance, Song Shenyan couldn't help frowning and took a step back, and then eased his mind, "But it's okay to say it." ”
It turned out that he got a piece of gossip.
said that no matter what crime he committed, as long as Song Shenxiao, the prime minister, nodded, he would be able to manage the safety and sound.
So as soon as the fat man entered Kyoto, he came to ask for a meeting, but he didn't expect to be kicked out......
"What nonsense are you talking about?" After listening to Qian Fatzi's story, Song Shenyan's face sank suddenly, "My brother is honest and enforces the law impartially, he is different from you!" ”
Qian Fatzi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly slapped his mouth, "Yo, look at the villain's broken mouth, the villain also listens to other people's nonsense, and has no other meaning." ”
Hearing him say this, Song Shenyan felt a little better, and his face eased.
After hesitating for a moment, he waved his hand, "You can go." ”
After saying that, he wanted to turn around and leave.
"Don't mind." The fat man hurriedly grabbed Song Shenyan's sleeve.
"Let go!" Song Shenyan's face sank, and he pulled his sleeves out of the hands of the fat man, and he was even more dissatisfied with this fat man who had no manners.
Knowing that he had offended the girl in front of him, the fat man hurriedly knelt down with a puff, kowtowed to Song Shenyan to apologize, "It's all the villain's fault, how can the villain's dirty hands touch your sleeves, please forgive the villain......"
"Hurry up!" Song Shenyan looked around cautiously while scolding in a low voice, "What does this look like?" Hurry up! ”
"Miss doesn't forgive the villain, and the villain doesn't dare to get up."
"I forgive, you get up." Encountering such a laipi, Song Shenyan had no choice but to nod.
