That night, in Liu's bedroom, I saw Chai Jin coming here, looking at Liu Xian who was lying on the bed with weak breath, and said warmly: "Master Liu, you have to pay attention to your health. My brother has given the order. Young people are not sensible. , so I will not order the killing of Young Master Liu Du, I will imprison him for a few years at most and then release him back home!!"
When Liu Xian heard this, he immediately opened his mouth to say something.
After Chai Jin looked at it, he quickly leaned closer and saw Liu Xian said with difficulty: "Thank you, thank you."
After saying that, he slowly closed his eyes with a hint of loneliness and a hint of peace of mind. Chai Jin took a look and quickly said: "Master Liu, Master Liu..."
Seeing that Liu Xian didn't respond, Chai Jin stretched out his hand to touch his nose, then sighed, turned to look at the panicked people, shook his head and said: "Master Liu has left."
"Father"
"grandfather"
Hearing this, the room burst into tears and everyone knelt on the ground.
After looking at it, Chai Jin sighed and shook his head. Maybe Liu Xian didn't know about the assassination, but in the end, he did lose his life because of his grandson's impulsiveness.
. . .
In the second hall, the Liu family held a funeral. Everyone in the city immediately knew that Liu Xian had passed away due to illness. The death of such a famous Confucian still made many people feel a little heavy in their hearts.
"I heard that the government issued an order to exempt Liu Du from the death penalty and change his sentence to four years in prison!!" A scholar in the restaurant sighed.
"That's not because the old man of the Liu family died of illness. Song Jiedu was kind and thought of Mr. Liu's many years of educating people, so he was given a lenient sentence. Otherwise, who would be left alive in such a thing!!"
"It's really harmful to others. I think the Liu family is completely in decline."
On this day, at Liu's funeral, a pale and elegant woman looked at a book handed over by Chai Jin, and her whole body suddenly swayed.
It is Liu Jing, the second young lady of the Liu family.
"Brother Wu Song said that repaying a courtesy has ended. Please take care of yourself in the future, Miss!!" Chai Jin sighed.
Hearing this, Liu Jing's eyes immediately shed two lines of tears. After Brother Cong's assassination failed, she knew that it was impossible for her and Wu Song. Wu Song would never want a daughter of the family who tried to kill her brother, who was regarded as a god. .
"Thank you Zhizhou"
After Chai Jin nodded, he looked at Liu Jing and Liu Du's father, Liu Xian's son Liu Wen, and said warmly: "Master Liu, Liu Du is in the government prison now. If you are worried, you can send someone there at any time. Take a look at the prison!!”
When Liu Wen heard this, he immediately said angrily: "We will not go see him. His self-righteousness killed his grandfather who loved him the most."
"Master, no, no! That's your only son." Upon hearing this, a woman next to him immediately cried and knelt down.
When Liu Wen saw it, he became even angrier and said: "It's all your spoiling that has developed his arrogant character. Let me tell you, if you dare to see him secretly, I will divorce you!!"
"Master" the woman looked sad.
Seeing this scene, Chai Jin shook his head and said: "There are still many things to do in the government office, so I will leave first."
“Thank you for your efforts to know the state!!”
. . . .
On the other side, in the study room of the government office, Song Jiang looked at the arrival of Yu Wenling, and he was a little curious: "Did Liu Xian die of excessive sorrow, or were you poisoned?"
"Brother, there may be two reasons! In fact, my subordinates did not expect it to be so soon, so they asked the subordinates specifically. According to the amount of their orders, it should take two days, but Liu Xian estimated that he I’m getting older, and I’m too anxious, so I can’t hold on anymore!!”
“Is the person who poisoned me an old brother from the mountain??”
"It's the poisoner, but the one who made the poison is a new recruit. Although this person is a little greedy for money, he knows the production of various poisons well. There are two others, both of whom have some special skills. Brother, do you want to meet me? one sight??"
After Song Jiang looked at it, he smiled and said: "No, you have done a good job this time. What's more important is that you can understand your responsibilities and pressure."
"Thank you brother"
"From today onwards, the Jinan branch will no longer obey orders from the Liangshan Intelligence Room." Song Jiang stood up and said: "Tai Gong Liu Tao has a saying, there are eight wanderers, they are in charge of serving traitors, opening up favors, watching the enemy, and thinking that they are spies. , called Zhonggui () in historical records
"Now it's up to you to formally form the Central Guards. Lay the foundation first in Jinan Prefecture. After our army takes Yanzhou, we will move there."
When Yu Wenling heard this, he immediately said excitedly: "Thank you for your trust, brother."
"Zhongkouwei has just started, so don't take too big a step. Let's see if we can cover Jingdong step by step. As for the outside world, we should focus on the intelligence room!!"
"Yes, brother." After Yu Wenling said this, he said: "Brother, if you are in a hurry, who should you report to?"
Song Jiang smiled and said, "You are usually very smart, why are you confused now? You can make your own decisions on many things. If you are your only superior, there is only one person, and that is me!!"
Yu Wenling shuddered and immediately knelt down on one knee excitedly and said, "Thank you, brother!!"
"Expansion requires capital. After we capture Yanzhou, we will discuss this matter with Hui Tong and the military advisors. At this time," Song Jiangcong picked up a batch of approval slips on the table and said, "You can take this. Send someone to pick it up from Changsheng Trading Company in Dongping Prefecture."
After Yu Wenling took it, he glanced at the numbers on it and suddenly showed a hint of shock. In fact, the number given by Song Jiang was too much.
"I've given you the power, and I've given you the money, but I still have to say ugly things up front. If you just settle for success because of this, then I can say for sure that your consequences will be even worse than Hou Xing's. Times." Song Jiang said coldly.
Yu Wenling was shocked and said quickly: "Brother, don't worry, I won't take an extra copper coin from this money, all of it will be used to develop the Central Guards!!"
"Okay, so what should be yours will naturally be yours."
"Thank you brother"
"I will go back after Wu Song and the others get married. You shouldn't be in Jinan for too long. You need to train your successor."
"yes!!!"
“Then go for it!!”
"Brother, please retire"
After Yu Wenling left, Song Jiang stretched out lazily, and Wang Su walked in, "Brother, Yang Yin, the magistrate of Zizhou, wants to see you!!"
When Song Jiang heard this, he immediately laughed and said: "I almost forgot about him and let him in."
"yes!!"
Soon, I saw a middle-aged man wearing official uniform with a very low posture, bending down, and walking out with a woman in white with a veil on her face.
"Meet the Lord Jiedushi"
After seeing it, Song Jiang smiled and said: "Yang Zhizhou doesn't need to be polite. You also know that the assassination just happened, so you are a little negligent."
"Xiaoguan understands that Jiedushi has been working hard every day, so Xiaguan specially found a maid for you to take care of your daily life." After Yang Yin said this, he quickly gestured to the woman.
After the woman slowly took off her veil, a beautiful and moving face emerged. It was plump and white, with a small cherry mouth. Especially in her watery eyes, she seemed to be born with tons of tenderness, which made the man unable to help but feel... Feeling of love.
Looking at the slightly surprised Song Jiang, the woman lowered her head shyly.
As soon as Yang Yin saw it, he immediately whispered: "Brother, this girl is an orphan. The lower official named her Sai Diaochan. She is eighteen years old and has never been alone with other men. Even the lower official has not shown any signs of being alone." offend!!"
When Song Jiang heard this, he looked at Yang Yin, a parent official who was hated by Zizhou, and lamented why corrupt officials have been able to rise to power since ancient times, while honest officials were demoted once they were demoted.
"You are interested. In this case, I will discuss things about Zizhou with you tomorrow," Song Jiang said.
Yang Yin looked happy and immediately said: "Thank you, brother."
