Song Yuanwai of Runan City, his surname is Song, his name is De, and his courtesy name is Zhongyi.
You should understand by reading his words. This person is the second child at home.
Then why is the Song family the second in charge now? It’s very simple... the boss died early.
Back then, Song De's brother died of illness less than ten years old, and his parents couldn't figure it out: Our Song family is so rich, and he hired the best doctor to come and see him. How could he die?
Isn’t this nonsense? According to the medical level, you can have any way to die.
But they didn't understand any science, so they sought the unscientific explanation - asking for fortune tellers.
How smart the fortune teller was. When he came in, he pretended to be a god and a ghost with a serious look on his face. Finally, he had a conclusion: Your Song family had committed too many sins and suffered retribution.
Everyone, in those days, whenever you go to a wealthy family to tell fortunes, as long as you say they are guilty, you will never run away; if the class components of these people are there, there will be no one who will not commit crimes.
After hearing this, Song De's parents could say that our family has colluded with eunuchs and fish and people for generations. Now God has punished us.
This is called the check-in.
So, why did they resolve this retribution? From that day on, they bought fish and released them and put rice and porridge; of course... on this side, should we collude with eunuchs or collude with fish, and the people still have fish.
To put it bluntly, people like them take out part of their ill-gotten wealth to do good deeds, not really want to do good deeds, but just to buy comfort for their hearts.
Otherwise, why are there so many people in this world who are rich and unkind, traitors and evil will devote themselves to religion and charity in their middle and late years? It is because they themselves know that they are sinners, so they pray to God and Buddha; it is like... this is also a business. They have made enough money and enjoyed enough in the first half of their lives. In the second half of their lives, they want to donate some so that they don’t have to fall into hell.
Why is Song De's name and name both De and Yi? It's nothing more than asking for whatever his parents lack.
Song De grew up in such a family environment, so most of the things in this world are business for him.
This also developed his character of calculating and cunning.
However, maybe there is really retribution in this world. Song De married quite a few wives and concubines, but now he is over 60 years old and there is only one child like Song Xiang.
Everyone has seen Song Xiang’s virtues. If he looks like his father at all, Song De will not be worried.
Unfortunately, Song Xiang is twenty-eight years old this year, and he is still a giant baby, who specializes in finding "loss deals" for his father.
Over the years, Song De has basically become accustomed to it. Anyway, he knows that every now and then, his son will commit some cases of injuring, raping, or even killing people, and then he will have to go to make trouble.
Yes, the people are easy to bully, but they also have to have a degree.
The case of injury is easy to handle. If you pay a little bit of the soup and medicine, the other party will not dare to make trouble again.
What should I do if I rape and murder? This cannot be "reconciled", right?
It is certain to pay the money to the family. Then the government... don't you have to deal with it? The appetite there is greater than that of the common people. Even if you have a eunuch as your backer, if you put the king's law there, you will be in the end and you will be in a disadvantage and you will not be willing to be willing?
What if some miser is suffering and have a deep grudge and don’t even have money? You have to find someone to come to scare them. Whether it is the government or find someone yourself, it will cost you.
Is it easy to be a rich and bully? Song De told you with his personal experience that we can't do anything about it. The expenses in this industry are too high. If you don't collude with the government and exploit the people, where can I get the cost to collude with the government and exploit the people? Do you uand?
Today, Song Xiang gave his father another blow.
Before the meal was over, the grandson came back in vain. His clothes were dirty, his face was bruised and swollen. He happened to be caught by Song De when he entered the yard.
"Stop!" As soon as she saw her son's appearance, Song De knew that he had caused trouble again. He immediately stopped him and asked, "Look at you, look... what do you look like? What are you doing outside again?"
Although Song Xiang has been practicing martial arts for twenty years, with a big and thick face, and Song De is old and thin and powerless... When his son stands in front of me, he looks like a son and is depressed.
In this world, Song Xiang is not afraid of anyone, just Song De; Song Xiang's slightest in front of his father is useless, and he will never be caught even if he lies.
Therefore, Song Xiang was very honest in front of Song De: "Dad...I...I lost the battle."
"Hmph..." Song De laughed angry at him, "Lost? He lost well." He paused, "I have seen your beating, such as punching Nanshan Fenglanhu, and kicking Beihai Hunjianglong... Are you embarrassed? You are so polite? I'm teaching you a lesson for me, and I have to thank them."
Song Xiang was already full of anger, but was scolded so sarcastically by his father, and he was almost crying.
"Dad!" He cried and said, "He... he won't forget it, he scolded me, it sounded so badly. And he... he also cheated me of three thousand taels of silver!"
As soon as he heard those keywords, Song De's expression changed, and the smile on his face disappeared in an instant, replaced by anger and surprise: "How much money? You say it again?"
"Three...Three thousand taels..." Song Xiang lowered his head, raised his right hand at the same time, stretched out his three fingers and gestured.
"You..." Song De's mouth of blood was already in his throat, and he was still pressing down, "...Where did you get three thousand taels?"
"I..." Song Xiang didn't dare to hide it, "I went to the warehouse to get an incense burner and went to Tongquanjian to work as a three thousand taels. I thought I could win and I could redeem things today. Who... knows..."
Bang-
Before Song Xiang could finish his speech, Song De slapped him with a slap.
Song Xiang is so handsome that he is slapped by his father, the thin old man. What is the result?
Song Xiang covered his face and rubbed it, but it didn't hurt much.
Song De's hand hurt so much, and if he uses some force, he may even dislocate his wrist.
"Disappointed!" Song De stomped his feet in anger, "Disappointed!"
After the old man finished beating and scolding, he turned around and went back to the house without waiting for Song Xiang to say anything. He was also afraid... he was afraid that his son would burst into blood vessels and die there.
There was nothing to say that day, and Song Xiang got drunk at night and fell asleep.
On the other side of Tongquanjian, although they didn’t wait for the person to redeem, they didn’t take it seriously. Anyway, if you come one day late, you will pay an extra one day of money. This doesn’t matter to the pawnshop, and no one will check whether the “Nine-Yuan Chasing Furnace” is still in Curry.
Another thing that made the shopkeeper care a little, that is... Mr. Tongquan Liu Yufang asked someone to send a letter this morning and said that he would take a leave of absence for a few days if he had something to do.
This old man has never asked for leave since he called Tongquanjian, and he is half a sign here. Although he has other appraisal masters, it makes people feel unsure after all.
…………
The next day, Song De calmed down, so he sent someone to do some "something" early in the morning.
至下午,他才找儿子来问话.
Song Xiang was not stupid. When he heard his father was going to ask him for questions, he quickly pulled his mother to take charge, just to let her protect him when asked.
In this way, Song Xiang used his own set of rhetoric to tell Song De about how he "was cheated out of three thousand taels by Sun Yixie". Anyway, according to his meaning, he was right. All the wrong things he did were caused by others' fraud or agitation.
By the way, Song Xiang also took the blame for his master Ma Zhao and said, "If the Ma surname hadn't taught me some 'subtle tricks' for me to use, I might not have lost. In my opinion... he might have colluded with Sun Yixie and joined forces to cheat our Song family's money."
Song De knew his son, so he had heard of this. After seeing off his son, he immediately summoned several servants to come in and checked the whole story several times through others.
最后,他才叫来了马棹和赵迢迢.
Song De didn't say much about Ma Zhao. The general meaning was to thank him for his efforts and hard work in his job over the years, and said that he is no longer suitable to continue to stay in the Song Mansion, and he can leave after finding the account to settle the money.
Ma Zhao had no objection to the result, he was just a loss of job. He could accept it, and even said he was a little lucky.
When Ma Zhao was sent away and only Master Song and Zhao Tiaotiao were left, Song De finally changed his face.
"Master Zhao, when you first came to my Song Mansion, you said that you only seek wealth, not right and wrong. Do you still remember this?" Song De sat down, took a sip of tea, and asked slowly.
“记得.”赵迢迢回道.
"Now, there is a transaction, and I want to ask Master Zhao to do it. Do you do it?" Song Dedao.
"Master Song, did you ask me to kill someone?" Zhao Tiaoqiong was not bad at all. How could he not guess the other party's intentions?
"If so, are you going?" Song De asked.
"That depends on who to kill." Zhao Tiaotiao said this, paused, and said again, "and... how much can you earn."
"You kill Sun Yixie, Huang Donglai and Lei Buji." Song De said in a deep voice, "Take back the three thousand taels, and five hundred taels of them will belong to you."
Zhao Tiaotiao was silent for a while and replied, "Suppose I really agreed to this deal and successfully killed the three of them, why don't I just take the three thousand taels and fly away, and come back to give you two thousand five?"
Song Deyou savored the tea and replied, "If you take the three thousand taels and go away, not only will the other party come to seek revenge on you, but I will not let you go." He stroked his beard and looked up slightly, "But if you take the money back for me, if you have any grudges, it will be my Song family that has nothing to do with you, and... 500 taels are not too much, isn't it?"
Zhao Tiaotiao thought about it again and asked, "What if I could get the money back without killing them? Wouldn't that be better? Mr. Song can also save his worries."
"Ha..." Song De smiled, "Master Zhao, I'm afraid I don't understand what I mean." At this point, a bit of coldness appeared in his eyes, "Money must be taken, and that person... must be killed."
"Just because they humiliated the son?" Zhao Tiaotiao asked.
"Of course not." Song De replied, "Master Zhao, you'd better think things are simple..." He paused for a moment and said, "This morning, I sent someone to check the details of the three people before I knew that Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai... were both from the Jinyiwei, so it goes without saying that Lei Buji, who was with them, would be the same.
"In addition, I also found someone to go to Tongquanjian for a trip. Guess what? In just one day, my stupid son stole the "Nine Feathers Rises and Rises" that he had lost, and Liu Yufang, the Tongquanjian's live signboard, disappeared.
"Do you think... these are coincidences?"
Yes, these are coincidences.
There are three things here, one can’t beat the other, but they just happened to be linked to each other by Song Xiang.
It’s not that Zhao Tiaotiao thought things were simple, but that Song De thought things were complicated...
"Mr. Song, do you mean?" Zhao Tiaotiao continued to ask.
Song De said: "This is the Jinyiwei who wants to plot against my Song family through my son, so that I can lose both money and Bao..."
At this moment, he looked serious and began his wrong reasoning with confidence: "In my opinion, the three thousand taels are just the introductory points, and the extra head... Their real goal is actually the 'Nine Feathers Sun Chasing Furnace'.
"The beginning of this game was two days ago, the boy named Sun deliberately provoked my son under the ring and led him to the bait.
"Think about it carefully, how could someone ask for a huge sum of 3,000 taels to do something to fight on the arena? Is there too much money to use?
"This is clearly a good plan, using my son's Shaozhi and impulsive personality to lead him to do the stupid thing of robbing himself... In this way, they tricked my Song family's treasures out of the warehouse without any effort, and then they stole the things by inserting them into Tongquanjian's undercover... that is, Liu Yufang.
"The next day, on the ring, Sun Yixie came to humiliate my son again and took the three thousand taels of silver together. Hum... It's really a scheming thing.
"I also sent someone to ask the inn where the three kids stayed in the morning... I found out that they got off the ring yesterday and immediately went to the inn to check in, and fled out of Runan City without stopping and headed south... If they hadn't had a plan, would they have walked so fast?
"In short, these things before and after, at first glance, it seems that three young boys in the martial arts world are fighting bravely, but in fact... it was a careful operation by the Jinyiwei to target our Song family. Those three boys were their pawns. The water behind them... I don't know how deep it is...
"What should I keep people like this?"
After his analysis, even Zhao Tiaoteng was sweating coldly, feeling something was right, and said in the dark center: "Does... I have also made them simple?"
Chapter completed!
