After Song Mei left, the family gathered in Song Yannian's study again.
Everyone began to exchange information.
Song Haiming: "Thanks to Song Mei, I am now the Order of Yulin."
Song Li: "Congratulations to the big brother for your promotion. It's a bit difficult for me here. Wen Renjie is too vigilant. He may have suffered too many losses. He doesn't trust anyone. I still need time."
Yang Yuyao: "Song Li is not in a hurry. It only takes a blink of an eye to win over a hypocritical person, but it takes enough patience and time to win over a reliable ally."
"I went to Xie's house this morning and explained the situation to Mrs. Liu. Mrs. Liu almost got into a fight with the old stubborn Xie Zhiyuan, but they both had the same idea, they both must rescue their daughter."
Song Yannian: "This afternoon, Xie Zhiyuan invited me to drink. First, he thanked me, and second, he asked me for help. I took him to find Wang Quan of Jingzhao Yin. Wang Quan was my old friend and an upright man. After hearing about this, I asked Xie Zhiyuan to go there tomorrow. Jing Zhaoyin complained, and he led troops into Prince Duan's Mansion to search."
【Wang Quan? It sounds so familiar. 】
[I remembered that the case of the second brother having an affair with a remnant of the previous dynasty was handed over to Wang Quan for investigation. Wang Quan found the second brother not guilty after investigation, and then he was assassinated the next day. The newly appointed Jing Zhao Yin Zhong Because of this case, the second brother was convicted of treason and sentenced to death. 】
[Wang Quan is indeed a good official, but good officials do not live long. 】
[Since you choose to be an official, you should be more diplomatic. It is useless to prove the truth with your own body. When a person dies, justice and truth will also be buried together. 】
[After offending King Duan and being registered by Na Lao, Wang Quan was not far from death. 】
"General, I have a suggestion. Since we know that the emperor will not punish Prince Duan harshly for imprisoning and killing a girl, why not take a step back and change the result of the search to Prince Duan taking in the girl in distress."
"First of all, I want to show off to Prince Duan so that I won't let Prince Duan hold a grudge."
"Secondly, it also makes Prince Duan relax his vigilance."
What she didn't say was that she wanted to save some face for the royal family so that the old man wouldn't have a secret attack.
Song Yannian nodded, deeply convinced.
Thinking that one day in the future, his best friend Wang Quan would lose his life trying to save his son, he felt very uncomfortable.
"Song Li has thought carefully, I will handle this matter."
Others also breathed a sigh of relief, especially Song Hailan.
It was obvious who was bent on executing him. How could Wang Quan fail to see the fishy nature of the case? Even so, he is willing to protect him, and he also treats Wang Quan as half a father.
[It’s great that Dad can think about it with me! 】
[I have to go tomorrow too. What if they move the girl’s location? To find the position, the little flower must hit it with one hit! 】
[Let me think about how to say it...]
"Song Li, you and Yi Huan will go together tomorrow. Once the girls are rescued, you two will be responsible for their placement."
"Yes, General."
Song Li was a little surprised, he didn't expect it to go so smoothly.
She looked at Song Yihuan, who was also looking at her with a smile.
After the meeting, Song Yannian made an appointment with Wang Quan and Xie Zhiyuan again, but he would not be the bad guy and bear Wang Quan's glare and Xie Zhiyuan's resentment for no reason.
He told the two of them that the emperor knew about this, but the emperor loved his younger brother and covered up the matter to death. He also helped King Duan do the finishing work. He also listed one or two, saying that these things were all done by the emperor, so Xie Zhiyuan did it. Be blinded.
Final summary: It’s okay to fight against King Duan, but it’s better not to fight against the emperor.
Both of them beat their chests and feet in anger and cursed angrily!
Xie Zhiyuan's eyes were bloodshot with hatred. If the emperor hadn't helped clean up the aftermath and made things go smoothly, he wouldn't have misunderstood his daughter! He hates it!
But they also knew the seriousness. If they offended the emperor, they would not lose a daughter, but an entire family or even nine clans.
In the end, the two of them offered not to disclose King Duan's charges and found an excuse to thank King Duan.
After some discussion, the result was to follow what Song Li said and thank King Duan for taking in the damsel in distress.
…
Song Li returned to her room, turned off the light, covered herself with a quilt, and watched Xiaohua show off to her under the quilt.
Xiaohua first took out six teapot-sized luminous pearls and placed them around them, lighting up the space and filling the atmosphere.
Then she turned around, and a jade Buddha statue appeared in front of her. It was thirty miles tall, completely translucent, the jade was warm and smooth, and the carving was lifelike.
"Wow, you got this from the treasury?"
"It is indeed extraordinary to be able to enter the treasury, little Huahua, we have made a fortune."
"What? There are a hundred more like this?"
"What? This one is the smallest?...Oh my god..."
"Gold, don't look at the gold, dazzle your eyes, just count it."
"What? One hundred boxes? Didn't I ask you to take less?"
"Little Huahua, listen to mom, we can't be too conspicuous, we have to do it in a planned way, little by little..."
"What? There are more than a thousand boxes?"
"Take it! Take it hard!"
…
Song Yihuan was pulling Song Hailan and Song Haiming to lie on the roof and listen together.
She has been listening to it for many days, and her sister hides under the quilt every night and dreams of getting rich.
Ivory screens, exquisite jade carvings, pearls and emeralds, and hundreds of boxes of gold and silver made her feel numb.
"Look, I told you, my sister is crazy!"
"Tomorrow I will give all the five boxes of gold seized from Zhou Luchuan to my sister! I hope it can alleviate the condition." Song Hailan was heartbroken.
Song Haiming didn't think so. The person who could utter those mottos would be someone who was crazy about money? And looking at the little girl's usual style, she doesn't like to dress up, doesn't like to show off, and is very comfortable after eating and drinking. It's impossible for her to go crazy for money.
Early the next morning, Song Hailan took Song Li to the warehouse and opened five boxes of gold one by one to show her.
"This was seized from Zhou Luchuan last time. You've been following me around a lot recently. I asked my father for permission to reward you with these."
Song Li just glanced at it, feeling calm in his heart.
The look on his face showed the tiredness of his desires being fulfilled.
"Second brother, I can't take so much if I don't get reward for no merit."
Song Hailan spoke righteously, "You can be considered a confidant of my Song family. This is how the Song family always does things. Take it!"
Song Li: "!!!"
[Are the Song family so wealthy? 】
[But the original work said that the Song family’s private property had covered the deficit of the Northwest Army, and there was no money at all. 】
[So later, when my cousin and cousin were in trouble and my father went bankrupt, he could only guarantee it for three years. 】
"Ahem! Just take it if I ask you to take it! You will also be a rich man in the future, don't envy other people's wealth." Song Hailan frowned, looking like he couldn't refuse.
[Are you saying this because you are afraid that I will be bribed by others? 】
[There is no one richer than me in this world! Who can bribe me? 】
Song Hailan: ...It’s over, I’m seriously ill.
[Forget it, just to make them feel at ease, just accept it. 】
Song Li clasped his fists, his eyes full of sincerity: "Thank you, brother, then I will accept it. The Song family has taken care of me. From now on, I will be born as a member of the Song family and die as a ghost of the Song family. I will never betray the Song family!"
"Okay, okay! If we don't trust you, we won't use you. These are just rewards, don't think too much about it."
Song Li was a little confused and couldn't figure out why Song Hailan had to give her money.
After dinner, he went to Jing Zhaoyi with Song Yannian and Song Yihuan.
Xie Zhiyuan and his wife Liu were already waiting.
Mrs. Liu's eyes were red and the bags under her eyes were swollen. She kept looking in the direction of Prince Duan's Mansion, choked with sobs and unable to speak. She thought that this day had been extremely painful.
Song Yannian stepped forward and patted Xie Zhiyuan on the shoulder, "I'll give him an uncle."
The Song family has no political stance, they just help each other among relatives.
Yang Yuyao also supported Mrs. Liu and said, "I will give birth to my aunt."
Song Yihuan held Mrs. Liu's other arm and said, "Auntie, Sister Hui will definitely be able to get her back!"
Ms. Liu's heart felt sour, and her tears couldn't help but fall.
"Everyone is here, let's go!" Wang Quan led a group of people and walked over. Wearing Zhuque official robes, he was not angry or in danger.
