Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 531
"Big guy!"

A large stack of information letterheads was brought to the table by Li Xiangjun. He opened Chapter 1 casually, took a look, Song Qingshu couldn't help but shook his head with a sigh.

This is the biggest thing that happened in Nanzhili recently, the death of Zhang Pu!
Song Qingshu still didn't intervene in the killing of Zhang Pu. It was completely directed by Bao Lu and others in Wu Changshi, and they did it very cleanly. Wu Zuo insisted that the lamp was accidentally caught on fire and burned to death. No one in the court intervened. , Fushe felt like the tree had fallen and the monkeys were scattered. Zhang Pu’s coffin was parked in the yamen, and Zhang Cai, a brother of the same clan, was unable to bury him. No one offered a helping hand for a while. For the first seven days, he lived in the office of the Yangzhou yamen. .

Although Zhang Pu had opposed him from the very beginning to Yingtian, but this person was a magnificent figure after all. Seeing him being burned alive, Song Qingshu actually felt a little bit sad. Once Zhang Pu died, he had been with him all the time. The Donglin Fushe, which is fighting head to head, is completely over. Although the Fushe will not be wiped out, there is no such powerful leader to lead them in political struggles, and there is nothing left to do. Without this constraint, Song Qingshu For a while, I felt a little lonely.

But seeing him holding the first list and looking at it endlessly, Li Xiangjun who was waiting beside him was a little anxious, and hurriedly pushed the second list forward. Put it down, said at the same time.

"Have someone send 100 taels of silver over, the dead are dead, death is the most important thing, and all kindness and grudges are just like this."

While talking, Song Qingshu flipped through the information that Li Xiangjun had stuffed forward, and after a second look, he was happy again.

This is also a major event in the south of the Yangtze River recently. Hou Fangyu, the eldest son of the former household minister Hou Xun and one of the four sons of Jiangnan, actually broke into the Songjiang University Library late at night, molesting women and immoral. , sell all the meritorious service, reissue the original nationality, and will not be allowed to take the exam again in the future!
This punishment is somewhat similar to that of Tang Bohu before, but it is still lighter. These days, being a bad person is a serious crime, and the lightest is exile. It is only to return to the original place, and Hou Xun's relationship played a role, but after this experience, Hou Fangyu His reputation is completely rotten, and he will never do anything again.

When I was down and out, I stood by and watched, and even wrote letters to break up the relationship. When I was useful, I came over again. Li Xiangjun already hated Hou Fangyu to the bone. Anyway, Song Qingshu said something, and there is no need to talk to Hou Fangyu in the future. This scene is Li Xiangjun Compiled and directed, it can be regarded as a woman expressing her loyalty to her man.

Seeing Li Xiangjun's happy face, Song Qingshu smiled helplessly, this matter is actually quite bloody, just like the emotional dramas of later generations, diao*si fell in love with the goddess, which made the rich and handsome jealous, and designed to frame him He went to prison, but this time it was the other way around, he, Hou Fangyu, was a rich and handsome man from a wealthy family, and he, a grassroots rebel fighter, had the last laugh.

"You, you!"

Helplessly smiling and pointing at Li Xiangjun twice, Song Qingshu immediately put the two secret documents together and locked them in the black box on the desk. In his opinion, Donglin's restoration of the society is no longer a cause for concern.

It's a pity that Song Qingshu forgot one thing, if you don't die after hitting a snake, you will have endless troubles!
…………

In a blink of an eye, 15 years of difficult Chongzhen will pass again. This year, the army suffered heavy losses in the Central Plains. Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai seemed to be unstoppable. Jiao jumped out again unwilling to be lonely, and nearly two-thirds of the territory of Ming Dynasty fell into the flames of war.This year, Daming's decline seems to be a little clearer.

But the year still has to pass.

In this time and space, there are Song Qingshu, Nanzhili to the east of the Dabie Mountains, and the Lianghuai area can be regarded as peaceful. Going back to the price decades ago, almost every family in Southern Zhili has spare money to buy some good flour, and then make some pork, chicken or fish dumplings in bamboo cans. This year, Daming has had a troubled year. However, Jiangnan Shimin's life is much better.

This year is also an important year for Jiaduobao Company. In the south, the development of Taiwan has been carried out by two-thirds, and the number of immigrants has exceeded 60. Moreover, the Yangzhou Business Group, which has been competing with the company before, has lost assets. From the original at least 5000 million taels to less than 1000 million taels, the shops and markets in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have shrunk and been occupied by Jiaduobao. out.

As the New Year's Eve approaches, the city of Changshu is full of lively spectacles, and the shops are overcrowded. It is estimated that Song Qingshu can make a fortune in the past few days, but after seven or eight miles out of the city, the whole Zhuangzi is dead silent. The villagers were not festive at all. Instead, they all looked grim and depressed. This place is called Qianjiazhuang.

This can be regarded as the last stronghold of the Qian family, but in the cold winter, a sound of carriage wheels still broke the peace of the Qian family here. Seeing more than 200 cavalry surrounded by a carriage driving into the Zhuangzi, the whole Zhuangzi immediately It's like facing a big enemy.

The place where Qian Qianyi lives is very poetic. It is close to Yushan Mountain, which is called Hongdou Villa. When the carriage stopped at the small square in front of the villa, there were already more than a hundred people from Qianjiazhuang, but Song Qingshu acted nonchalantly. Pushing open the car door, he took a breath of the dust and cold wind from the countryside, and immediately stretched out his hand back vigorously to support his hand. Gu Hengbo also jumped out of the car gracefully like a lady.

The gate of the manor had already been opened, looking at the Zhaobi rockery inside, with Gu Hengbo on his arm, Song Qingshu happily walked in.

Zhang Pu is dead, Hou Fangyu has a bad reputation and was driven back to his hometown. Chen Zilong, Fang Yizhi, Mao Bijiang, Chen Zhenhui and others are not very aggressive. Complaining, this is the last thing Song Qingshu cares about, and Wu Yingji, Xia Yunyi, Gong Dingzi and others are all officials in various places. Song Qingshu can't do anything to them, and they can't do anything to Song Qingshu either.

In addition, Wu Changshi and other parts of the Donglin Party became "insiders" for a short time. In the whole of Jiangnan, the only one who made Song Qingshu feel thorny in the end was Qian Qianyi. Although he was also in the opposition, his disciples and students were All over the south of the Yangtze River and the north of the Huai River, Song Qingshu doesn't care, but in Jiangnan, he can still cause some trouble for himself. Before the New Year's Day, Song Qingshu wants to settle Qian Qianyi.

I also know that the three-month deadline is approaching. It seems that preparations have been made for a long time. The road was cleaned up. Along the way, the servants guided them to the main hall. On the redwood round chair, Qian Qianyi had already been sitting there waiting, so In less than three months, Qian Qianyi looked ten years older, his face was full of wrinkles, his hair was half gray, and he was completely different from the Donglin leader who negotiated with Song Qingshu three months ago. If there are two people.

I guess he was really not in the mood. Qian Qianyi, who has always paid attention to etiquette and ruled the world, didn't even stand up to greet him. He just sat and watched Song Qingshu and the two entered his classroom, but he didn't care about it. Sitting down in the chair, Song Qingshu opened his mouth first, and hugged Qian Qianyi with a gentle smile.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, Mr. Qian is quite haggard! Today, Mr. Song got some Liaodong Korean ginseng, and sent it to Mr. Qian to nourish him. I hope Mr. Qian will not refuse!"

"Oh, Marshal Song has a heart!"

What a ghostly smile, Qian Qianyi smiled very ugly, and immediately got down to the topic listlessly: "Marshal Song came to Bizhuang in person, is he here for the 10 taels of silver owed?"

"Mr. Qian has a good memory. A certain martial artist from Song Dynasty, a merchant, won't be courteous to Mr. Qian here. I don't know if Mr. Qian has prepared this silver tael!"

"Money has no silver."

Why is it like the later generations these days, the one who owes money is justified, suddenly turned into an angry old man, and was yelled at by Qian Qianyi, Song Qingshu was taken aback, but then shook his head helplessly, yes, people At such an advanced age, who would not be angry if he came to snatch his favorite woman away?

But he didn't take out the slave contract signed with Qian Qianyi and Liu Rushi that day, Song Qingshu warmly hugged his fists instead.

"Mr. Qian, Mr. Song has another proposal regarding this debt. I wonder if Mr. Qian is willing?"

"Oh? I'd like to hear about it."

These words finally aroused Qian Qianyi's interest, looking at his raised white eyebrows, Song Qingshu's smile became much more sincere.

"Elder Qian should have known that Mr. Song has occupied a large island in the south and encircled some land. Mr. Song wants to give Mr. Qian a village and a copy of Mr. Qian's collection of books. I wonder what Mr. Qian will do?"

There are still such good things in the world. Those who owe money don’t say anything, and the creditors even give away a lot of benefits, but Qian Qianyi is silent when he hears this. Song Qingshu’s conditions are obvious, you always take you with you Young concubine, let's go on a tour, politics is too dangerous, so don't touch it when you are old!
Historically, the romantic relationship between Qian Qianyi and Liu Rushi is a good story. Qian Qianyi, 59, even openly broke the taboo at that time, and hired Liu Rushi, who was only 23 years old, with great fanfare. The unaccustomed scholar threw stones at him. During the Shunzhi period, Qian Qianyi was imprisoned for Huang Ming's rebellion. It was Liu Rushi who went to ask for help and rescued him.

From this point of view, Song Qingshu was almost sure that Qian Qianyi would agree. Putting aside all the fame and fame, a man can't even keep the woman he loves, what kind of man is he.

But when Song Qingshu smiled and was about to take out the bond and tear it up, the old guy shook his head heavily.

"It's only natural to pay back the debt. Qian thanked Song Shuai for his kindness, but Qian still couldn't bear to let go of this mountain and river. The country is still the country of Ming Dynasty, it has been hundreds of years, as far away as Liu Liu, Liu Qi, Tang Saier, as close as Wufeng Captain Wang Zhi, but all of them have not ended well!"

Song Qingshu's smile froze immediately...
