Sun Li, who had been holding back in his seat for a long time, finally couldn't bear it any longer and began to express his doubts to the Lord of Dengyun Mountain who was too young and seemed to be unconventional in his work.
"In front of Master Zou Dazhai, I don't know what a good plan Chacai Zunji said is to have both sides of the problem?"
Taking a look at the sick Yuchi Sunli, who was born in Hainan Island, but was different from the norm for southerners, with an eight-foot tall figure, a yellowish complexion, and a beard. Zou Run smiled faintly, did not answer, and asked himself:
"Before Zou comes up with a good plan, Zou wants to ask Tiha, does Tiha really not know why brother Jie Zhen and Jie Bao are in prison?"
As soon as these words came out, Sun Li's expression changed drastically. He stared at Zou Run in disbelief, opened his mouth wide, and was speechless for a long time.
Seeing this, Zou Run couldn't help but shake his head secretly. Sure enough, this sensible man in the officialdom had been pretending to be stupid in front of his younger brother and sister-in-law.
He was afraid that he would get the exact news as soon as Xie Zhen and Jie Bao were released from prison. He was just afraid that his younger brothers and sisters would come to plead for mercy, so he pretended not to know.
How could Sun Li, who was familiar with Dengzhou officialdom, not know that the real reason why Xie Zhen Jie Bao was imprisoned was that the new magistrate used Wang Kongmu's hand to beat him. But Sun Li, who had long been immersed in the dark waters of the officialdom of the Song Dynasty, chose the former without hesitation between Shangguan and his cousins, who could determine his future and destiny.
The former is the Zhizhou who holds the military and political power of a state. Xie Zhen and Jie Bao are just uncles and cousins who have not been around for a long time. In Sun Li's eyes, the death of such people is nothing more than death. It is too late for him to curry favor with the Zhizhou. , How could he be willing to challenge the governor of Zhizhou, who already had objections to his involvement in the private salt business, for the sake of these two people?
Seeing Sun Li pondering for a long time, Mrs. Gu became so angry that she banged the table in front of her.
"Sun Li! Those are your uncle and brothers! If they really broke the law, I would never open my mouth to beg you for a word, but they are honest, do their duty, and never argue with others. This time I was framed and imprisoned, and I didn’t ask you to save me. Since you knew the news earlier, why didn’t you tell us earlier? Sun Xin and I spent our own money to save them both! We don’t want you to pay half a penny. This is what relatives should do. Aren’t you willing to do whatever I can to help you?"
"How can we delay it until now? If there had been no news and information, I'm afraid my two poor brothers would have been killed in prison!" When it comes to the emotional part, this ferocious-faced and warm-hearted female worm can't help but Cry loudly.
Sun Xin's expression on the side was also extremely ugly. He knew that his brother was focused on his official career, but he never expected that such a blood relative would be treated as nothing in his eyes. He couldn't help but ask himself, how much weight does his biological brother have in the heart of his brother who is a fan of officialdom...
Deng Fei, who values loyalty, snorted loudly, with a look of disdain on his face. If this person hadn't been Sun Xin's biological brother, Deng Fei would have walked away long ago, not bothering to interact with such people. . Although Zou Yuan and Yang Lin were more mature, they could only refrain from making comments, and their expressions were naturally not that good.
In the eyes of everyone with disbelief, disdain and disgust, Sun Li's inner strength was undoubtedly evident. He adjusted his mentality in just a moment, with a calm expression on his face, and said without saltiness or indifference:
"As an official of the imperial court, how Sun behaves is governed by the laws of the country. If Master Zou has a good idea, Sun Li is willing to listen attentively for the sake of public and private convenience. If Master Zou has other ideas, he wants to trick Sun into going up the mountain and falling grass... hum hum , Although Sun is not very capable, he is not someone who can be easily captured."
Sun Li's words made his wife feel embarrassed, and Mrs. Le's face looked frightened. She was afraid that Sun Li could not even hide it from her, the person next to him.
"Okay! It's a country that has its own laws and regulations, and it's a good place for public and private affairs. Sun Tiha is really quick to talk, and Zou knows that people don't tell secrets." Zou Run stood upright at the table and walked to Sun Li In front of him, he held out three fingers.
"Three hundred shi! Dengyun Mountain offers 300 shi of sea salt to Zhizhou every month!"
"I am willing to exchange half of the sea salt produced by Dengyun Mountain every month for the lives of Brother Jiezhen and Jiebao! As long as Wang Zhizhou is in office, Zou will deliver the goods every month and there will be no default!" Zou Run said decisively, with a look of pain on his face. But he still expressed his stance resolutely. "Brothers Jie Zhen and Jie Bao are first-class heroes. Zou does not want these two people to die unjustly in prison. I wonder if Tijia can convey my wishes to the magistrate's office?"
Made in the Song Dynasty, one stone is about ninety-two and a half Song Dynasty kilograms, and three hundred stones is about twenty-eight thousand kilograms. Calculated based on the profit of ten to fifteen kilograms from one kilogram of sea salt, three hundred stones of sea salt in one month is nearly Six hundred guan, that's more than 6,000 guan that year.
Dengzhou is a large county producing salt and iron, and some areas are rich in gold mines. The governor of Dengzhou is naturally rich in oil and water. Leaving aside his own salary, his annual gray income is generally about 10,000 yuan. Buying the lives of two insignificant people for more than 6,000 guan was enough to impress Wang Zhizhou himself.
Sun Li naturally understood this truth. Money can lead to the gods.
At present, Taiwei Tong is in charge of the army, Taishi Cai is the prime minister, and Emperor Daojun is in court. These three people love money and spend money. In the entire Song Dynasty, no money was spent to settle injustices. There was a rumor in the capital that "the Five One hundred passes can lead to general judgment, and three thousand passes can lead to the Secret Pavilion."
Of course, the rumors are definitely rumors. You cannot buy Zhimi Pavilion with just three thousand guan. Although Zhimi Pavilion is not of high rank, he serves as an official in Beijing and can often meet the emperor, but you can definitely buy Jie Zhen or Jie Mi Pavilion. Bao's life.
Since Zou Run was willing to pay, everything would be easy to discuss. Sun Li immediately changed his face. One second he was a loyal minister of the Song Dynasty, and the next moment he turned into a heroic and heroic person.
"Okay! There is a rumor in the world that Master Zou has the style of King Qin in the early Tang Dynasty. When I saw him today, he was indeed extraordinary! Master Zou was loyal and generous, and Sun was willing to join Weiji. Sun immediately returned to the city to try to meet the prefect (Note 1) .”
Not as seamless as Sun Li's switching, both Sun Xin and Mrs. Gu's eyes widened and their mouths opened wide, Six Thousand Guan! This amount was beyond the couple's expectations.
They opened a hotel outside Dengzhou City and ran various illegal and illegal businesses. However, after a year of hard work, they could only earn 700 to 800 yuan. This was because Sun Li was standing behind them. Otherwise, the government's various exorbitant taxes and apportionments would cut their profits in half.
"The leader of the village is so kind and virtuous that I and I have nothing to repay. When we are rescued and the treasures are retrieved, we are willing to go up the mountain to join the gang and hold whips and stirrups for the leader of the village!"
In the hotel lobby, Sun Xin and his wife looked at each other, left their seats, prostrated themselves on the ground, and kowtowed to Zou Run willingly.
There is a saying that a strong wind knows a strong grass. When faced with this disaster, even his biological brother tried to push him away for fear of getting into trouble. But Zou Run, whom he had never met, traveled thousands of miles and spent a lot of money to help his family solve the problem. As a son of the green forest, Sun Xin and Sister-in-law Gu are both people who value loyalty, so they are naturally willing to repay the favor with their own lives.
Zou Run hurriedly turned aside to avoid receiving this great gift, and at the same time motioned to his uncle and Yang Lin and Deng Fei to come forward and help him.
"As for the Xian couple, Zou has long heard about the names of Little Yuchi, Mother Big Insect, and Two-Headed Snake Two-Tailed Scorpion. I'm so lucky to have you help me today. Zou Run is so lucky! The cottage is so lucky!"
