A powerful minister of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 106: Twelve Party Members (Part )
Lei Mansion.

Lei Qi told Mr. Lei that Song Xuan ranked third in the exam. Mr. Lei was surprised to hear the news.

As for Song Xuan, he has no interest in studying in his hometown.

He rides a donkey and hunts every day.

Mr. Lei has paid attention to this news.

How could Song Shier really be admitted to Yingtian Academy?

The key is that I got third place, which is really among the best!
"Did you really hear correctly?"

"Dad, it can't be wrong."

Lei Qi sat on the chair, then looked like he saw through everything:

"I really underestimated him."

"Song Twelve has shown extraordinary strengths since he was young, and he's become increasingly adept at hiding them. I almost thought he'd gone astray!"

Lei Qi naturally knew the evil meaning behind his father's words.

It is the worst of the three evils in Lema Town.

The Liangjiang shop brought in a lot of dividends, and at first the father and son thought it was protection money for Song Xuan.

However, Song Xuan's way of collecting protection fees is different from that of ordinary people. He just collects money directly and gives things in return.

After a long while, Mr. Lei sighed:
"He's clearly cut out for business, but he chose to study. What a waste of talent!"

"Dad, what you said is a bit absolute." Lei Qi knew that studying and taking the imperial examinations was the way out:
"Even Liu Sanbian admires the lyrics written by Song Twelve."

"what?"

Mr. Lei has been doing business all year round.

Of course I have heard of Liu Sanbian's name.

When he was in Tokyo, he also worked as one of Liu Sanbian's Miyabachi brothers.

After all, the girl praised by Liu Sanbian is also an internet celebrity among the singers in Bianliang, the capital of the Song Dynasty.

As someone who likes to be the top of the list, how could he not try to test his own abilities?

"It looks like Song Twelve will be graduating from high school soon. The business world is losing another genius."

After sighing, Mr. Lei gave up the idea of ​​recruiting Song Xuan as his own.

I just don't know if Tao Hong, the shopkeeper under him, has thought about transferring the business to me.

But that was just what Mr. Lei thought.

If Song Xuan could pass the high school entrance exam, why would his servants change their appearance?
You must have gone crazy!
"Someone is coming."

Mr. Lei called the housekeeper over to give him instructions.

Let him go to the warehouse to pick out some suitable gifts.

No matter what, he had to go to Song Xuan to congratulate him.

If Song Xuan can become a high-ranking official in the future, he will have someone to rely on.

We all had some friendship in the past.

As for his son's admission to high school, Mr. Lei just treated it as a dream.

"I knew that Twelve Brother would definitely pass the high school entrance exam, but you just didn't believe me."

Miss Lei's face was full of pride.

"Don't always lean on him." Although Mr. Lei doted on his daughter, he also knew clearly:
"This kid is not someone you can control."

"I didn't say I wanted to marry Brother Twelve."

"It's better not to miss you." Lei Yuanwai snorted:
"I don't want to be related to a gambler, not to mention I have a gambler brother. No matter how much wealth I have, it won't be enough for them to waste."

Miss Lei curled her lips and said nothing more.

There is indeed something very wrong with Song Xuan's family.

As a businessman, Mr. Lei hates having his blood sucked.

Wait until Mr. Lei brings people out to visit Song Xuan in a sedan chair.

He happened to meet Song Xuan on his way to prison, so he took a detour home to explain a few things to Tao Hong.

He quickly opened the curtain and wanted to call out to Song Twelve, but the crowd of people made him retreat.

Find out a few things first, then talk about the rest.

Such a situation was not something a businessman like him could get involved in.

If things go wrong, you might get sucked dry by the government.

Captain Ding Zhe didn't dare to refuse Song Xuan's request to take a detour home.

The fact that this young man was able to force the current Hanlin scholar to jump off a building is enough to prove that he is a ruthless person!
For ruthless people.

Everyone should still be respectful.

Song Xuan took the opportunity to introduce this place to the students behind him as his home, and welcomed everyone to come and sit down when they had time.

Everyone answered randomly and felt a lot more relaxed.

At least Song Xuan's attitude of not taking it seriously has indirectly influenced everyone.

From being very excited at the beginning, to feeling more and more guilty as time went by, some people even regretted it and slowly slowed down their pace, and some even left the team.

When they arrived at the county government office, Chief Constable Ding Zhe whispered:
"Shi Er Lang, do you really want to go to that stinky prison?"

"We've come this far, are we still going to disobey orders?"

Song Xuan walked into the county government office without thinking: "Just lead the way. I won't make things difficult for Prefect Yan."

"Twelve Lang Gaoyi."

So Ding Zhe took Song Xuan into the county government office, turned a corner and headed to the prison.

When the jailer Li Kun saw Ding Zhe bringing such a large group of students, he was overwhelmed.

He quickly pulled Ding Zhe aside and asked what was going on.

Ding Zhe said that this was what Prefect Yan wanted to do to let these students know the seriousness of the situation. They should stay in jail first and must not be bullied.

By the way, he pointed out the kid Song Xuan to his good brother and told him that this person’s background was our Shangguan Zhang Tui Guan, and he should serve him with extra care.

Song Shier has always been generous, and you will definitely be able to succeed if you follow him.

Li Kun immediately thanked Ding Zhe for the news.

He stepped forward politely, introduced himself, and invited the students to go into the prison to rest.

Song Xuan took the initiative to step forward and handed him a gold leaf:

"Find someone to clean out a few cells for me."

Ding Zhe saw this scene and sighed secretly.

This money can't be earned by myself.

Li Kun's eyes were dazed and he almost fell down.

who?

Every move is a gold leaf!
He had been a jailer for several years and thought he could make some money, but when he met a superior like Zhang Kang, he didn't dare to extort money at will, so he had to rely entirely on the prisoners' self-consciousness.

Li Kun had never seen gold in his life, and it was held in his own hands.

It was not until Song Xuan supported his shoulders that Li Kun was able to avoid falling to the ground. He said tremblingly:

"I will do whatever Shi Er Lang tells me to do."

"First officer, clean the five connected cells at the door. Also, reserve two tables of good food for us classmates. One of the tables is for you, and the rest of the money is all yours. If you do these things well, I will give you a reward."

Li Kun saw Song Xuan stuffing a gold leaf into his hand and immediately shouted:

"I will definitely follow Shi Er Lang's instructions. Please rest here for a while. I will do it right away."

Who can withstand such money-rich behavior?

If I don't seize the opportunity, will I wait for Zhang Tuiguan to replace me with someone else as the jailer?
Li Kun immediately rushed into the cell and kicked the jailers awake. He yelled at them to throw all the prisoners in there and clean out the five cells. They had to be spotless because they had a feast at Qinglou tonight.

Although the jailers couldn't figure out why the leader suddenly became so crazy, when they heard about the banquet at Qinglou, they immediately asked if it was true.

These jailers have never eaten at the Qinglou banquet.

Li Kun snorted coldly.

Anyone who doesn't use all his energy to clean these cells will never be able to eat at Qinglou in his life.

Instead of trying to persuade them with kind words, he used direct threats, which immediately motivated the jailers.

I cleaned the house inside and out, even replaced the straw with new ones, and flushed the toilet several times to ensure there was no odor.

Then these jailers saw the jailer respectfully asking a group of students to come in, especially the one leading them.

Song Xuan entered the cell and still felt a little damp. He stood at the door.

"You all don't have to suffer with me. If anyone wants to quit, please do so. I'm doing this for everyone's good."

In fact, without Song Xuan's reminder, some people noticed that the number of people had decreased, and some people regretted and quit halfway.

From the beginning, a team of a hundred people went to look for Dou Chou with great momentum. When Prime Minister Yan ordered people to take Song Xuan away, no more than forty people insisted on following. After Song Xuan deliberately took a detour to go home, many of them backed out.

Now, there are only twelve people who have actually been sent to the county jail.

"Shi Er Lang, there's no need to persuade me anymore. I've made up my mind."

Wang Yaochen was the first to step in. Since the commotion was so big, he didn't believe that the court would not give an explanation.

Even if he quit, Dou Chou would not let the students of Yingtian Academy go because of his vengeful nature.

The only option is to let him step down.

Only then can everyone’s future be saved!
Do those who don't know Dou Chou's character really think that they can avoid this matter by quitting halfway?
The students who followed Song Xuan to the prison gate were determined. In response to Song Xuan's good advice, some people said things like "Do you look down on me?"

Everyone filed in. Zhang Kang, who was at the end of the crowd, saw it all but did not try to stop them.

He just watched these jailers busying around, and by the way, he also figured out the reason why Prefect Yan asked him to arrest them.

Catching them is the real way to help them gain more benefits. If we let them go, it will give people an excuse.

Next, let’s see what kind of waves Minister Yan’s memorial can cause in the court.

What Zhang Kang didn't expect was that Song Xuan didn't treat him badly after he entered the cell.

Just as the jailers were cleaning, someone went to Qinglou to order food.

As a result, the owner of Qinglou brought his chef directly to the outside of the prison to cook, and also brought the tables and seats.

One is that Song Xuan spent real money.

Another reason is that these local students were bullied by foreign officials, and they would do their best to help.

Who said that the little stories Song Xuan told on the street were useless?
Wang Yaochen looked at the banquet table in the prison, and his brain froze for a moment.

It was agreed that the food in prison would be bad, he would have to eat rotten rice and be beaten by the prison guards. He had prepared himself mentally after coming in, but this is the treatment he got?
Better than what he eats out!

Wang Yaochen's family was of average financial status, and they owned a few acres of land.

It was thanks to him that three generations of my ancestors were granted the titles of Taifu and Taishi.

"Shi Er Lang, this is quite an expense!"

After all, Wang Yaochen had seen the wealth of Tokyo. Although Qinglou was not as good as Fanlou, the consumption was not low either.

Of course, we didn't go into the cell to eat, so as to avoid the noise from the real prisoners and affect our mood.

"It's okay. My classmates, you are willing to stand up for justice for me. You are helping me. What does a little food mean to me?"

Song Xuan stood up and looked at his classmates:
"I always believe what Li Bai said: even if I spend a fortune, I can still get it back. Everyone, enjoy! There's plenty of food and wine to go around today!"

"it is good."

Su Xun was the first to cheer and picked up the wine glass and poured the cold liquid into his mouth.

Song Xuan did not ask anyone to buy wine, but asked Tao Hong to bring some cold drinks.

Everyone stopped being polite and poured the food into their mouths in no time.

The food at Qinglou is so delicious!
Wang Yaochen was no exception, and as the sky gradually darkened, torches were lit.

He filled his plate with rice again and sat down, watching Song Xuan eating slowly. Then he asked quietly:
"Does Shi Erlang have any extra money on him?"

His original intention was to use the energy and money he had accumulated over the years to help Song Xuan.

To prevent him from running into debt, these tables were not cheap, but then he heard:

"If you want to borrow money, please ask me. I have a lot of money."

Song Xuan shut Wang Yaochen down with just one sentence.

No.

Who doesn’t know your family situation?

You are much worse than us.

Where did you get the bragging about being wealthy?

"Don't joke, Twelve Lang. We all know your family situation."

Song Xuan put down his chopsticks and lowered his voice:

"Thank you, Brother Wang. To be honest, I was struggling financially before, and I stumbled upon a secret recipe. I opened a cold soup shop in my hometown, and thanks to its delicious flavor, I've earned a little money. I'll spend it today, so don't worry about me."

Only then did Wang Yaochen feel relieved.

Since he has a good way of making money, there is no need to worry. I will have another bowl of food from him later.

The food at Qinglou is really good.

Li Kun invited Zhang Tuiguan and others to take a seat.

Who would have thought that Song Shier would invite all the chefs from Qinglou to cook for them.

Look at this silver plate and blue-and-white porcelain tray, it's obvious that they are made in Jingdezhen.

It would be really impressive if it gets out!

Besides, Li Kun really got the gold, and his face was flushed.

These jailers have gained a lot of knowledge.

Li Kun had to reiterate that whoever dared to do such a shameless thing and took the silver plate away, don't blame me for turning against you.

Even if there is a magistrate here, everyone will have to scramble for food.

You see the magistrate every day, but he may not even reward you with money.

But you may only have the chance to eat the food at Qinglou once in your lifetime!

These bastards, whoever picks up his chopsticks late won’t be able to get a single bite of food.

It was because Zhang Kang was here to keep the situation under control, otherwise they would have started to stuff their chopsticks into his mouth long ago, and who would have used chopsticks?

The jailer Li Kun smiled foolishly at Zhang Kang standing beside him:

"Excuse me, Judge Zhang, for making a fool of myself. These are all people who are not even worthy of being served at a banquet."

Zhang Kang wanted to sit at the same table with Song Xuan and the others, but since they were "criminals", it would be too obvious for him to sit directly over to them.

"It doesn't matter."

Song Xuan shoveled rice into his mouth. The world is big, but eating is the most important thing.

However, Su Xun was very excited to sit next to Song Xuan. This was truly a rare experience.

Zhang Fangping secretly learned a lesson in his heart. In the future, when doing things, he should not care what others say, but look at what others do!
Everyone was filled with righteous indignation at the beginning, but when something really happened, they shouted slogans loudly, but in fact they all retreated.

Afraid that the blood would splash on himself.

Sure enough, there are too few people like Twelve Brother.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Song Xuan picked up the cold drink and said to everyone with a smile:
"When I was in my hometown, I heard the elders say that there are four great ironies in life. Today, I have experienced them twice with all of you classmates. I am truly blessed!"

As the most distant stranger, Su Xun immediately asked:
"I haven't heard anything about what Brother Twelve mentioned as the four irons of life."
