In the white gate tower, the lights are bright. As soon as Song Che stopped the carriage, Zhao Sui went out with a smile.
"Mr. Song, you are finally here. This table of delicious dishes has been left waiting for me, the prince." Song Che pointed to the motorcade behind him and said politely: "Thanks to the great reputation of His Highness the prince, we can make more profits tonight. There are ten people here." This box of silver is the winning prize for the prince tonight." Zhao Sui glanced at the money box and didn't say much.
The word "please" invited Song Che to come into the building and take a seat. In the Baimen Tower, there is a beautiful incense burner, a table with good wine and food, and only two pairs of bowls and chopsticks.
There is an ear room on the left side of the building, which is covered by a screen. I don't know if there is anyone hiding in it.
"How can Song Che, a commoner, sit at the same table with the prince?"
"Hey, Mr. Song, please don't be polite. If you can drink with a distinguished scholar like Mr. Song, how can you have any respect?" Zhao Sui pressed Song Che to the upper seat, poured two glasses of wine himself, took one for himself, and handed it to him. Give Song Che a drink: "Come on, I am very happy to have won the game tonight. Let's have a drink!" Song Che drank a glass of wine with him, smiling on the surface, but his heart was so tight in his throat.
The bad guys are not scary, but the smiling tiger is the most scary.
"Who would have thought that he would deliberately use a low-grade horse to beat the prince's high-grade horse, then use the high-grade horse to beat the medium-grade horse, and then use the medium-grade horse to beat the low-grade horse... Mr. Song is really a talent." Zhao Sui praised .
Song Che said: "It's just some little tricks that can't be put on the stage——"
"Wrong!" Zhao Sui said seriously: "If it is a folk game, this is indeed a small trick, but if you use it to defeat me, it is a great trick." Song Che fell silent.
"I have already found out clearly that Mr. Song's family is in Suzhou, and he is the son-in-law of the Shen family, a famous Jinxiu trading company in the south of the Yangtze River. The Shen family is also responsible for handling the New Year coins this time. It seems that your family's property is also in Hangzhou...Mr. Song's business is very good. It’s really big.”
"Bah!" Song Che dropped the cup on the table, his face gradually darkened,
"Prince... you might as well say it directly." Zhao Sui patted Song Che on the shoulder.
"Sir, don't worry too much. I just want to make sure that I have not misjudged the person. After asking, I found out that 'Mr. Song' is indeed well-deserved." He straightened the overturned wine glass and slowly helped Song Che. Pouring the wine, he added: "Now that my father is old, there will always be a Japanese prince who will inherit the throne. You also know that the Liang Dynasty is surrounded by wolves and tigers, and it has reached a critical moment. The DPRK is in need of talents like Mr. Song to assist - tonight The purpose of the banquet is to invite Mr. Song to join my prince's residence as a staff guest." He raised the wine glass and handed it to Song Che, asking: "Mr. Song, what do you think?" Song Che looked at the wine glass in front of him and stretched out his hand. But he pushed him back and declined politely: "The common people are honored to be appreciated by the prince. However, the common people have no ambition to be an official. They just want to concentrate on doing business. Please don't embarrass the prince." Zhao Sui grimaced. , his voice became colder: "How many people are thinking about breaking into the house, but you are not willing?" Song Che sighed: "It's not that the common people are unwilling, but that the common people are just humble businessmen, and the tricks they use are just suitable for shopping malls. If you are so smart, you will definitely not be able to do the job if you really get to the lobby... Besides, the ordinary people really have their own difficulties!"
"Oh?" Zhao Sui said boldly,
"Why don't you tell me what your difficulties are, and I can settle them with you."
"Alas!" Song Che sighed again: "It's all because the common people are greedy for money and profit. They took advantage of Mr. Gao's resistance to the Japanese in Hangzhou and used their belongings to make a deal with him. It was the business of those annual coins. The prince You should know very well that Taishi Jia was responsible for handling this coin. The ordinary people did not care about the feelings of Taishi and swallowed the coins in one gulp. Not only did they cause death to themselves, but they also offended Taishi Jia. ; Just a few days ago, Jia Dai, the son of Grand Master Jia, used tricks to send Cao Min into the dungeon of Luoyang Mansion. Cao Min was severely beaten in prison and vomited blood. He has not recovered yet; and that's not all, because of this As a result of this business, Cao Tian, the transshipment envoy, was assassinated in Suzhou, and the Cao family was confiscated. This Cao Tian was Lord Gao's confidant! Doesn't this... doesn't this offend Lord Gao again? "
"Bang!" Zhao Sui slammed the table, pointed at Song Che and shouted: "You are really heartless! Grand Master Jia and Gao Chen, even I have to respect them three points on weekdays, but you because of a business , I have offended them all, how can I possibly offend you?" Song Che quickly stood up to apologize,
"That's why the common people say that it's not that they don't want to serve the prince, but that they are really unwilling and unable to do so!"
"That's all, that's all!" The prince waved his hand behind his back,
"Since you don't want to, let it be that the prince has never said anything about this tonight, so you can go down!" Song Che did not retreat, but said: "Your Highness, the common people came to visit tonight with ten boxes of money. In fact, there is another person. I'm sorry." The prince said impatiently: "If you have anything to say, just tell me." Song Che said: "When we were in Cuju City, the prince also heard that the grassroots were going to hold the 'Luo Chao', but unfortunately I didn't have any Cuju in the capital. Team, I want to find someone from the prince." The prince frowned: "Are you trying to poach Ju Ke from my prince's residence?"
"Don't dare, don't dare, absolutely don't dare," Song Che said: "I want Miss Nong Yue from the Red Mansion to support me, but as an official prostitute with a low-level household registration, she cannot be free... Cao Minsi thinks After much deliberation, only you, Your Highness, have the authority to help her get out of citizenship." With Nong Yue's skills and fame, if she could be recruited into the club and form an unparalleled duo with Lin Yue, every game would be packed with spectators.
The prince glanced at Song Che from the corner of his eye and asked with a half-smile: "Do you want her to help you play football, or do you want her to sleep with you?" Song Che saluted and said with an apologetic smile: "Common people. It is better for the prince to take care of all the things in the day and think about his family, country and country. The common people are only interested in two things in their minds, and that is money and women... I implore His Highness the Prince to grant the common people this small wish." The prince sneered,
"So these 'scholars, farmers, industrialists, and merchants', you businessmen are the most humble. If you want women, you have to come to my prince's house," he waved his hand.
"Tonight the Cuju team not only won, but also won the hearts and minds of my prince. This should be rewarded... She is just a prostitute. If you want me, I will reward you."
"Thank you, Crown Prince, for your support. Please leave!" Song Che saluted again and exited the Baimen Tower. Soon after he retreated, the screen in the ear room opened, and a middle-aged man in black came out, Jia Yong, the eldest son of Master Jia.
"What does the prince think of this person?" Jia Yong asked. The prince shook his head,
"He is a little clever, but like all businessmen in the world, he is timid, greedy and lustful, and cannot be used in any way. Let's just keep him alive." Jia Yong said, "But I think this man is very deep in the city. He can do it in the world." Isn’t it a skill that my father and Gao Chen can handle each other easily and walk out of the Baimen Tower unharmed?" The prince laughed loudly: "The teacher can let him go, it is because the teacher is kind; Gao Chen does not pursue him, it is because he was demoted to the coast; I am happy that he can walk out of this building safely... This man is making a living in Luoyang. If you want to kill him, it will only take time for this prince to raise his hand and put it down, so why not?"
"Prince Mingjian."......
