A powerful minister of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 37 Tiger Descends from the Mountain
Zhang Kang did not stop walking despite what he was thinking.

He squatted down and pulled up the scorpion's shoulders:

"I am Zhang Kang, the magistrate of Yingtian Prefecture. You dare to cut me off? You are courting death!"

clack.

Upon hearing this, the poisonous scorpion collapsed to the ground.

It was not a big deal for him to intercept Song Xuan, a man without any achievements.

It can even be considered a street fight, and you can get out by paying the bailiff some money.

But if you intercept an official from the imperial court, you are simply seeking death.

The emperor and the literati shared the world.

The behavior of the poisonous scorpion is considered treason!

Even if you spend money to find the county magistrate, it will be useless.

The poisonous scorpion lay on the ground, shivering, ignoring the pain, staring at Song Xuan:

"Song Twelve, how could you report this to the authorities?"

Song Xuan snorted and laughed: "I was just kidding."

The poisonous scorpion sat up suddenly, with a look of surprise in his eyes:

"really?"

"I really lied to you."

No matter how stupid the poisonous scorpion was, he realized that Song Xuan was teasing him again.

When the scorpion thought of the consequences of attacking the officials, its mouth moved, but it could not utter a word and lay on the ground pretending to be dead again.

It’s over, the sky is falling.

Who knows how Song Shier got involved with the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture?

There really wasn't a single rumor leaked.

According to the Scorpion's understanding, if you want to know high-ranking officials, you must let people know who is protecting you, which can also reduce a lot of trouble.

But Song Xuan just didn't do that!

I got screwed.

Fan Zhongyan was watching it clearly from the second floor.

Song Xuan was like a tiger descending from the mountain, so fast that neither side could react, and the battle was over in the blink of an eye.

If the borders of the Song Dynasty were all staffed by brave generals like Song Xuan, there might not be any border threats.

"Prefect Yan, Song Twelve is truly brave!"

Fan Zhongyan stroked his beard and praised aloud.

In fact, Yan Shu was also stunned.

He had been hanging around in Tokyo since he was young, and had seen many people not only from the imperial guards but also from military families.

But there is really no one as brave as Song Xuan.

Guan Jian also has literary talent.

This is no ordinary person.

Since ancient times, people who are both civil and military are a minority.

It was truly rare and cruel that he discovered a rough diamond like Song Xuan today.

"Xiwen, when he enters the academy, you must take the trouble to train Song Twelve. This kid has been without parental guidance since he was young, and I've always been worried that his character might be crooked. Choosing a good teacher can be considered as a blessing for Song Twelve's future."

Fan Zhongyan deeply agreed with Yan Shu's words.

Song Xuan's behavior is indeed not like that of an ordinary person, and it is not easy for people to understand him.

He seemed to be very generous to everyone, very good at dealing with people, and had many friends, but Fan Zhongyan believed that Song Xuan was a person with a closed heart.

"Twelfth brother, you are truly brave!"

Yan Shu stood on the second floor and looked at Song Xuan and shouted.

Song Xuan waved his hand and took a stool to sit on:
"Venomous Scorpion, you've been deceived, don't you realize it?"

Hearing Song Xuan's question, all these thoughts flashed through the venomous scorpion's mind, and he raised his head:
"Impossible, how could your second brother, that loser, be so capable?"

"No, you were the one behind all this, then it all makes sense."

"Song Twelve, you've been plotting against me for a long time, haven't you?" "Now that things have come to this, I admit it. I won't frown even if you kill me or slice me up."

Snapped.

Song Xuan slapped the poisonous scorpion.

The scorpion suddenly lost its fire.

Song Xuan wiped his hands with a handkerchief:

"What kind of a bastard are you? How dare you let me scheme against you?"

"It was your second brother who came to see me." The scorpion felt his cheeks swollen, and his eyes were a little afraid, but he still said stubbornly:
"Song Twelve, you don't want your second brother to go to jail as well, do you?"

"Do you think I have a good relationship with him?"

The poisonous scorpion was speechless.

If Song Xuan and his brother had a good relationship, could they unite with other forces to covet the money of their younger brother?

Normal people simply can't do this.

If it's a gambler, then everyone can understand.

"Forget it, I'll let you be a ghost." Song Xuan threw the handkerchief into the river:

"It was Qiao Chen, the knife-wielding devil, who was behind this, instigating my second brother to use you to kill me so he could raid your lair. No matter who wins or loses between us, he'll win."

"If I win, he can easily swallow up your territory and accumulated wealth. If you win, he will report you to the authorities and make you live in unrest."

"As for why Cao Daogui did this, one reason is that he is just as greedy as you are, and the other is that his father-in-law's shop was once taken over by me, and he has always held a grudge against me."

"You're just a pawn trying to kill someone with a borrowed knife, and you still think your plan is so brilliant."

After hearing Song Xuan's words, the venomous scorpion showed an expression of disbelief on his face:

"Fuck the devil, what did he do to me?"

"He's just a damn butcher, and he knows how to use his brain?"

Song Xuan snorted and laughed: "You rascal who doesn't know how to use your brain will be a rascal for the rest of your life!"

In the Song Dynasty, hooligans were called "poor people", "naughty boys", "rascals" or "rogues", and the names varied from place to place.

The poisonous scorpion glared at him angrily: "Song Twelve, you are going too far, I will use my brain!"

"This rascal is using his brain when he shouldn't be using it, and he's courting death."

The scorpion was silent for a moment.

"Look, I've told you the truth, but you don't believe me. Of the three evils in Lema Town, you're the most stupid one."

The poisonous scorpion's defense was broken in an instant.

After all, according to his own understanding, he is the overlord who is most capable of dominating Lema Town.

Although Song Xuan was not very good at studying, he was the least threatening person. He did not raise the flag to gather the group of local bad boys, but instead opened the shop honestly.

He paid taxes when he was due, paid a lot of money to the Beggars' Gang for cleaning fees, and even gave money to poor people who had no connection with him.

This guy has no ambition at all.

The poisonous scorpion never took Song Xuan seriously. He believed that if he wanted to make it in the world, he had to have power, and he had someone above him!
However, this time he hit the iron wall with the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture, which made him collapse to the ground.

But what else does the butcher who wields the knife have besides killing pigs?
Now the scorpion was tied up and he knelt on the ground:

"Song Twelve, you really didn't lie to me?"

"You deserve it too!"

Song Xuan snorted and laughed, then stood up.

"I have never taken you seriously. You are all like ants, yet you always think you are a hairless insect."

The Poisonous Scorpion finally stopped being stubborn. Song Twelve was able to get in touch with the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture, which showed that he was indeed much stronger than him.

It’s no wonder that he’s educated!
But why should that surgeon be better than me?

The scorpion swallowed his saliva. If the boat went any further, there would be no room for maneuver. He finally bowed his head.

"Master Twelve, can you please ask for a favor for me? I'll pay you. Just name the price, and I'll work like a slave for you to repay your kindness."

"Stop dreaming. Your money has already been taken away by the surgeon. You don't have any money at all."

Song Xuan took a step back, refusing him to hug his thigh:
"Wait to die for you!"
