Madam, don't do this!

Chapter 38 Song Yun falls into a trap (Today's follow-up reading is very important)

The guard's name was Zhao Hu.

The living man was tall and strong, with a solemn expression and a hint of murderous aura.

Although Song Yan had only been in the Luo Mansion for a short time and had spent most of his free time busy with his own affairs, he had gradually become familiar with the guards, servants, and maids in the mansion. At least he had no problem calling out their names.

The other guard was named Zhang Long. Unfortunately, Wang Chao and Ma Han were not in Luo Mansion.

Song Yan was very relaxed. Even when he heard he was being followed, he didn't feel nervous at all. He just walked forward slowly and asked, "How strong are you?"

Zhao Hu replied proudly, "He's a traitor."

Are you Guan Erye? Everyone you see is a traitor!
Song Yan smiled and said, "How many people?"

"six people."

After a pause, Song Yan blinked his eyes and said, "Well, let me confirm... Of course, I'm not afraid of death, so you two can really handle them, right?"

It's definitely not about being afraid of death, it's about following your heart... but that's not right, it's about being cautious.

"I am enough." Zhao Hu curled his lips, and his tone was as if he was possessed by Guan Yu.

Even if he and Zhang Long were no match, there were still others. The eldest princess attached great importance to her son-in-law. Throughout the Luo family, her son-in-law's security was no less than that of the two young masters of Tianshu and Tianquan...

As for the Third Young Master, he certainly doesn't need one. What he needs is an old scholar who can restrain him and prevent him from getting into trouble.

This made him feel relieved. It couldn't be Yang. Song Yan could probably guess that Yang Siyao's purpose in coming to the Song family was probably to restore the lost reputation of the Yang family and help Song Zhen take the position of the crown prince.

At this time, Yang Siyao would restrain Yang and not cause unnecessary trouble.

In fact, there were many people around looking at him, and some were whispering to each other. Unfortunately, Song Yan had no idea how Zhao Hu locked onto the six people in such a chaotic sight.

Maybe it’s because of Gu Banxia and Kong Chan, one is mature and charming, graceful and attractive, and the other is playful, cute, lively and smart.

Lu Xun once said that beauty moves the heart.

The two beauties will naturally attract more attention.

It may also be that his wedding was too high-profile, and many people in Ningping County recognize his face.

The tiny sounds were carried in the wind and drifted into my ears.

Perhaps due to his diligent training with Gu Banxia during this time, his internal strength had grown considerably. Although not as strong as Zhang Long and Zhao Hu, he could still hear bits and pieces of information. Most of them were rumors about him. After all, this was probably the first time a wedding ceremony could actually bring good luck to someone, so this kind of gossip could still pique some interest.

Occasionally, if someone dressed as a scholar passed by, he would look at me with contempt.

Song Yan didn't take it seriously, but Kong Chan's expression grew increasingly grim. His cheeks puffed up, and he angrily glared at the two young men who had just passed by him, looking like he wanted to rush over and give them a good punch.

"What's wrong? Who made my little Chan angry?" Song Yan smiled and rubbed Kong Chan's hair, asking curiously.

"It's just those poor scholars who have no ability and can't write good poems, so they come to question the son-in-law..." Kong Chan angrily stood up for Song Yan.

Song Yan understood immediately. It was probably about the things that happened at the night market in Songzhou Prefecture. The sentence "From then on, mist and rain fell on Ningcheng, one person held an umbrella and two people walked together" was not a perfect sentence, but it was easy to read and quite artistic.

The line "Falling flowers, a man standing alone; light rain, swallows flying in pairs" is even more amazing. Countless single men and women often ponder this line of poetry, looking at themselves in the mirror and feeling sorry for themselves.

Song Yan also became somewhat famous because of these two lines of poetry.

However, as the initial discussion heat gradually died down, some information about Song Yan was slowly dug up, followed by various doubts.

Having never been educated and imprisoned since childhood, how could he possibly learn anything? Therefore, some people speculated that these two lines of poetry were not written by Song Yan, but perhaps by another son of the Song family.

Then, for some reason, someone said with certainty that it was Song Yun.

And Song Yun did not deny it, which was considered as his consent in the eyes of those people.

As for Song Yun, why did he write the poem "Fallen flowers, a man standing alone, light rain, swallows flying in pairs" to mock himself, and why did he know in advance that he was going to lose his fiancée, those scholars subconsciously ignored this point. To those scholars, they would rather believe that this poem was written by Song Yun than Song Yan... After all, a young man who was imprisoned in the backyard for many years, who had not even read a few books and might not even know how to read, could recite such beautiful lines off the cuff. How could these scholars who had studied hard for ten years put their faces?
It didn't take long before Song Yan's reputation among scholars made a 180-degree turn. Whenever Song Yan was mentioned, most people would call him shameless.

Just like the two scholars who just passed by, if they were not followed by the tall and strong Zhang Long and Zhao Hu, they would have spat at them.

Song Yan also knew these things, but he didn't care much. After all, he never took things that had nothing to do with life and money to heart.

Kong Chan was still snorting angrily, "Song Yun is shameless. He didn't even come out to clarify. It's obvious that he wants to claim credit for these two lines of poetry..."

"Let him be."

Song Yan chuckled. Sure enough, Song Yun, who wasn't greedy for money, wasn't lustful, and was quite intelligent, couldn't escape the trap of fame after all. Was this a trap?
I am not afraid of your greed for fame, I am just afraid that you will fall into the trap. Once you fall into it, it will be difficult to get out.

Song Yan's smile became even more pronounced. This time, his target was no longer servants like Xiao Cui, Yang Guifang, and Zhang Xiaoshan. This time, it was the genuine legitimate son of the Duke... Well, it was hard to say whether he was a biological son or not. In short, the eighth son of the Song family, Yang, and Song Hongtao, the whole family must be together.

Suppressing the thoughts in his mind for the moment, he rubbed Xiaochan's hair again and said with a smile: "My uncle doesn't care, why are you angry? Let's go buy some eggs."

The person who was following seemed to be simply keeping watch, or maybe there were too many people in the county town and it was difficult to take action. There was no abnormal behavior along the way, and no assassination or sneak attack happened.

When they returned to Luo Mansion with lard, eggs and brown sugar, Zhao Hu was nowhere to be seen.

……

"Son."

A teahouse.

Private room.

Song Yun sat by the window, his eyes scanning the bustling crowd on the street below with an indifferent expression. There were six other people in the room, all dressed differently, including hawkers, porters, and scoundrels.

Turning back, Song Yun rubbed his fingers along the bottom edge of the teacup and murmured, "How is it?"

"We found Song Yan. He was accompanied by two maids, Gu Banxia and Kong Chan, as well as two guards. However, since they were all in the county town, we had no chance to attack him, so we had to give up."

Song Yun nodded: "You did a great job."

He wanted to send Gu Banxia to Fang Jun as soon as possible so that he could establish a relationship with the Fang family.

He also wanted to kill Song Yan, but he wouldn't get himself into trouble.

Taking action in public in the county town is bound to cause a sensation. At that time, a full-scale investigation will be launched, and no one knows what kind of mess will be found.

"How strong are those two guards? If they really fight, are they sure they won't be discovered?" Song Yun took a sip of tea, but it was already cold.

"Don't worry, young master. Of course not." The man dressed as a hawker in the lead patted his chest with a proud look on his face. "The six of us brothers are all warriors of the highest rank. Those two guards are just burly, rough guys."

"We followed them all the way, and those two didn't notice a thing at all."

The advantage is mine, I'm sure to win.

Song Yun nodded with satisfaction, then pulled out a piece of finely crafted paper from his pocket and handed it to the leader opposite him:

"Arrange someone to keep watch near Luo Mansion."

"If Song Yan leaves the city, we will take action."

It turned out to be a cut bill of exchange worth ten thousand taels.

In this world, banknotes appeared quite early, but it was not like what was shown in TV dramas, where you could just slap a banknote on the table in a jewelry store and the shopkeeper would eagerly take out the most expensive jewelry in the store.

In essence, silver notes are not circulated.

It is just a proof of withdrawal. Almost all merchants will not accept things like silver bills.

On the one hand, silver bills are quite cumbersome to use. In essence, a silver bill is a contract between a depositor and a money house made of special paper. After the contract is completed, it will be cut in half, with the depositor taking half away and the other half retained by the money house. When withdrawing money, the two silver bills must match exactly. This is the first step. The withdrawer also needs to accurately state the time when the contract was completed, the witnesses, and even special code words. If there is a problem in any step, the money house will not give the money.

Even if a thief steals the banknote, it will be worthless.

On the other hand, the bank will also charge a storage fee. Even if you know all the codes and details, the money you withdraw will still be at a loss.

Therefore, only those who have too much spare silver and find it inconvenient to store it will put the silver in a money shop for safekeeping.

"Whether or not we can kill Song Yan, we must leave this banknote at the scene, understand?" Song Yun said slowly.

The payee of the banknote was Yang Miaoqing.

his mother.
