Chapter 265 The Battle of the Money Bags

 "Shen is careful when speaking, be careful that walls have ears."

Listening to Shen Qingcheng's unscrupulous insults to the chief minister of the dynasty, the blue and black Jin Yiwei was extremely nervous, and his face turned pale with fright. He was afraid that if his words were heard by others, it would be very embarrassing if they spread to Yan Song. alright.

"Be careful, haha, I wasn't afraid of the court that day, so why should I be afraid of such a small restaurant today?" Shen Qianqian, who was wearing a flying fish suit, took a sip of wine and said with a smile, "Now our great scholar Yan Song is greedy. The disease in his nature has reached the end of his life, and his clumsy and shallow heart is as stubborn as stone. How can he be moved by a few words?"

After hearing what Shen experienced, the blue and black Jinyiwei remembered his colleague's great achievements two years ago. Back then, in front of all the civil and military officials, he said something that an adult would not say but a minor official said, and he was so cruel He gave Xia Shangshu a meal and said, "Good boy, that's the official minister in charge of promotions. It's too late for me to curry favor with you."

Moreover, this colleague is an upright person, and hates evil most. If he has any grievance, he will express it, especially after drinking. He has no control over his words. Pointing out the country and writing passionately, this is a common problem among scholars, right? .After so many years, I should have changed it sooner, otherwise I wouldn’t have lost my job as county magistrate.

Forget it, I'm just a little Jinyiwei Xiaoqi, so forget it.

However, my colleagues are really lucky. It is a blessing in disguise. When I came to Jinyiwei, I caught the attention of the Shangguan, and my future was bright. I didn't want to think about myself, but I had assumed the identity of a Jinyiwei Xiaoqi and has not moved away for more than ten years.

I will rely on this colleague for promotion in the future.

After thinking a lot, Jin Yiwei Xiaoqi, who was made of blue and black fabrics, gave up on the idea of ​​persuading his colleagues to be cautious, and only poured wine and tea occasionally.

Then, Zhu Ping'an heard the guard next door in Feiyu uniforms scolding Yan Song in a fancy way, and he also got a lot of dirty things in the court. Yan Song sold his official position and got a title. Pan Hongye, a tribute scholar, used 2,200 taels of silver to become a court official. In Qingzhi Prefecture, a certain general spent thousands of taels of silver to supervise water transportation; Yan Shifan drank too much and said at the wine table that the court was not richer than me; Yan Song and so on.

A few more glasses of water and wine

The guard in Feiyu uniform suddenly became interested, patted the table and recited a poem:

"If you take a break and study hard when you are young, you can make a living with money.

If you are a strict prime minister, you must use a rich man."

This is to change four sentences of "Prodigy" to highlight money. It is also connected with Yan Song, and the coefficient of Yan Song's activities of selling his official position and getting a title is revealed.

After changing this song, the Feiyu suit Jin Yiwei had not finished enjoying himself. He picked up the wine jar with one hand. He poured a bowl for the blue and black Jin Yiwei opposite him, then poured another bowl for himself, took two big sips, and then He filled the glass with wine again, drank it all in one gulp, then patted the table and recited a poem again:

"The emperor places great importance on power and authority, and his articles teach others."

Everything is of inferior quality, only Fengyan is of high quality."

This is no matter how well you learn satirical writing, it is better to flatter Yan Song. Only by flattering Yan Shoufu can you get promoted and make a fortune.

Zhu Ping'an sat at the table, slicing the porridge and side dishes on the table with his chopsticks, listening to the Feiyu-suited Jinyiwei's fancy scolding.

Upright

Jealous of evil as much as hatred

I also admire this flying fish uniformed guard.

However, from his arrogance and harshness while drinking, we can also hear other flavors: he is more upright than flexible; he hates evil as much as he hates it, but he is also a bit arrogant.

By the way, what's the use of scolding Yan Song in this small restaurant? It's just to scare the snake away. But it's very possible to be bitten by a snake, and it's also very likely to cause disaster. If it really attracts Yan Song's gang members, wouldn't it be a pity. After all, resisting Yan Song

Fighter.

Therefore, while I admire him, I am also worried about this guard in Feiyu uniform.

Just when the Feiyu suit Jin Yiwei was about to pull out his chair and curse a lot, there was a loud noise outside the restaurant, as if two people were arguing about something.

The Jin Yiwei in the Feiyu uniform truly hated evil. Hearing the noisy noise outside, he stopped scolding Yan Song. Business was more important. He picked up the folding fan on the table and stood up and walked out the door. Another Jin Yiwei in blue and black clothes followed closely.

He stood up, picked up the rusty spring knife on the table, and walked out the door with Feiyu's Jinyiwei.

Seeing that the Jin Yiwei had all gone out, everyone who was originally afraid of the two Jin Yiwei and did not dare to go out to watch the fun also followed the two Jin Yiwei out.

Zhu Pingan put ten cents on the table and followed the crowd out the door. Prices in the capital were more than three times higher than those in Xiahe Village.

When I walked outside the door, I saw two people pulling each other with red faces outside.

One of them was dressed brightly, but his clothes were slightly wrinkled. He had a pair of slender peach blossom eyes with deep sunken sockets and a circle of black, as if he had not rested last night.

This person was holding a young man who was wearing very shabby clothes. He was really shabby. His clothes didn't fit well and were a little too short. His wrists and ankles were exposed. The young man was holding two packets of herbs in his hand.

"I clearly have 6 taels of silver in my purse, why are there only 3 taels of silver left now?"

The man in bright clothes held a green money bag in his hand and was questioning the shabby young man aggressively, holding the young man's arm tightly with his other hand.

"All I picked up was three taels of silver." The shabby young man defended with an aggrieved and indignant look.

"No, it's obviously you who misunderstood the three taels of silver. If you don't give it to me, I will take you to see the official. If you say you stole my silver, you don't care whether you stole it for yourself. We in the capital have as much money as the sky.

Sir, even if your skin and flesh are blooming, you still have to give me back my money." The man in bright clothes grabbed the young man tightly, as if he was dragging the young man to see an official.

As the man said this, he looked up and saw the imperial guard in flying fish uniforms and the imperial guards in blue and black clothes coming out of the restaurant.

So, the man in bright clothes grabbed the shabby boy tightly, pulled him down in front of the guard in Feiyu uniform, knelt on the ground with a thud, pointed at the shabby boy next to him and complained:

"The younger one has a grievance, please let the elder come to a conclusion."

The guard in Feiyu uniform squinted his eyes slightly, looked at the two of them, and asked, "What's your complaint?"

"Last night, I just took six taels of silver from home and went to do something. Unexpectedly, I dropped my money bag on the way and was picked up by this guy. After Xiao's pursuit, this guy returned the money bag, but there was only three taels in the money bag.

It’s two taels of silver, but this guy has stolen a small amount of three taels of silver. This money is just a small amount of hard-earned money. Please make the decision for me, sir.”

The man in bright clothes knelt on the ground and complained with tears in his eyes.

The shabby young man was trembling all over after hearing the accusation from the glamorous man, and his voice was full of indignation.

"You are so rude. I picked up the money bag here and have been waiting here for most of the day. Seeing that you seemed to be looking for something lost, I stopped you and asked you what you were looking for. You said you were looking for the money bag. I

I will return the purse to you. There were only three taels of silver in the purse, so who would have given you three taels of silver?" To be continued.
