Chapter 1360 Ji Chundong Has Arrived
Simple what is simple?
You go to scheme against the emperor, do you still want to be simple? Don’t you want your head anymore? It was difficult for Zhuang Chang to explain the stakes to Liu Wei. The circles of power in the capital were complicated, and the games involved were even more unpredictable. Liu Wei said it easily, as if success or failure was determined by just a few words, but it was not possible. Tell me whether King Ru Jiang is willing to confront the emperor. Just talk about the emperor. The young man ascends the throne.
He has accumulated power in his middle age and has been the emperor for more than 20 years. How could he be so easily restricted by others?
Zhuang Chang rejected Liu Wei's plan after going through it in his mind. It was impossible to realize it.
Qian Mengyao is not an ordinary person, and the emperor is not an ordinary person. There are things that outsiders cannot see through. As an insider, he knows very well that Wan Li's case must not be involved in the power struggle in Beijing. It will anger many people. In the end, As a result, not everyone can bear it.
Afraid that Liu Wei would say something shocking again, Zhuang Chang did not dare to keep her any longer and hurriedly said that he was still busy and asked her to leave immediately.
Liu Wei was almost driven away. She stood outside the study, looking innocently at the closed study door, smacking her lips helplessly.
"So cowardly?"
She mumbled and didn't knock on the door again. She turned around to find Magistrate Song. Since many high-ranking officials came to Xijin County, Magistrate Song lived in trepidation every day, especially when the high-ranking officials came to visit. As the host, he naturally needed to show his kindness as a landlord, at least not to lose the face of Xijin County. After going back and forth, he spent a lot of money in a few days. He is now in his right mind
It hurt like hell.
When Liu Wei saw him, Magistrate Song was holding an account book and covering his chest. The master was shaking pills for him beside him and asked him to take two pills first to calm down.
Magistrate Song held the medicine in his mouth and almost burst into tears.
Liu Wei glanced at the number on the account book and was stunned for a moment. Xijin County did not consume much, and the advantage of poor places was low prices. However, despite this, in just seven days, there were still seven missing items in the public account. More than a hundred taels, to Magistrate Song, is not equivalent to cutting his flesh.
Liu Wei sympathized with him and sat beside him to give him advice: "Let's find a place to make some money."
Magistrate Song rolled his eyes at her: "It's easy for you to say, but you have made a fortune!"
His hatred of rich people came out, and his tone became sour.
In the past, when everyone was poor, we were still good friends. Now suddenly you have money, and the relationship is suddenly no longer equal, and the boat of friendship capsizes at the drop of a hat.
Liu Wei laughed and said, "Then let me share some with you?"
Magistrate Song immediately looked at her, his eyes shining: "Really?"
"Fake."
Magistrate Song was furious: "Don't talk to me!"
Liu Wei waved his hand: "Just kidding, how about I help you earn some?"
Magistrate Song glanced at him sideways: "How to earn money?"
Liu Wei looked at the time and called the master: "Go outside and see if Wan Zhong is here. The appointment is before noon, so it should be here soon."
The master agreed, went out to take a look, and came back a quarter of an hour later: "We're here, Governor Wan is at the door."
Liu Wei stood up from the chair, waved her hand and said to Magistrate Song: "Together."
Magistrate Song was quite afraid of the governor who was a military general, but Liu Wei said that he was taking him to make money, and the balance in his heart was wavering. In the end, he chose wealth between fear and wealth, and carefully fell on the Liu Wei heads behind.
Outside the gate, Wan Zhong had also just arrived. In the past two days, because he had been pretentious and waiting for Ji Chundong to come over, he had not been in good spirits, and the dark blue under his eyes was getting darker and darker.
Liu Wei showed concern for him when she saw him: "Did you not sleep well last night again?"
Wan Zhong said a deep "hmm" and pinched his eyebrows again.
Liu Wei thought for a while and said, "Drinking more hot water is good for your health."
Wan Zhong was stunned for a moment, nodded uncomfortably, and then asked, "Where are you going today?"
"It's lunch time now, let's eat first." Liu Wei said, then looked at Magistrate Song: "Which restaurant in Xijin County is the most expensive and the best?"
Magistrate Song was trembling, fearing that Liu Wei meant to treat him, and he was about to explode. Fortunately, at the critical moment, Liu Wei shook her head at him, implying that she did not want him to treat, so he relaxed and was half-convinced. Reply: "Fu Lai Ju?"
Liu Wei made the final decision: "Then Fulaiju."
Wan Zhong was not actually hungry. After arriving at Fulaiju, he ordered a table full of food and he had no appetite. However, when he refused to eat, Liu Wei actually picked up the food for him and stared at him as he ate.
Wan Zhong felt very uncomfortable. They were not friends and there was no need to be so close. He said casually: "I can eat it myself." He moved his bowl away a little.
Then Liu Wei held her chopsticks and looked at him dryly.
Wan Zhong had no choice but to take a bite of the food.
Liu Wei asked: "Is it delicious?"
Wan Zhong said a vague "hmm" and said, "Okay."
Liu Wei enthusiastically served him other dishes. Wan Zhong was forced to eat for a long time before he thought about it. He had to say "delicious" before he would give up. "Okay" was not up to standard?
His stomach was full and he really didn't want to eat anymore. After taking a sip of the soup, Wan Zhong took the initiative and said: "The soup is very fresh, the chicken is very tender, and it tastes good."
Liu Wei suddenly became happy, propped up her chin, and looked at him: "Is it really so delicious?"
Wan Zhong felt his scalp numb at the sight of her and said, "Yeah, it tastes good."
Liu Wei asked again: "Is it so delicious that you can't stop drinking it?"
Wan Zhong pursed his lips, drank half the bowl of soup, and said, "Yes, I can't stop!"
"Is this the best silky chicken soup you've ever tasted?"
"yes!"
"real?"
"real!"
"Then give it a word."
"Okay!" Another pause: "What?"
Liu Wei raised his hand and called the shopkeeper next to him who had been waiting for a long time, and said: "We, Commander Wan of the Tingjiang Barracks, want to inscribe an inscription on your shop, why don't you take care of it with pen and ink?"
The shopkeeper smiled so hard that he couldn't even open his eyes. He happily ordered the waiter to quickly bring up the Four Treasures of the Study.
Wan Zhong just watched helplessly as the dishes in front of him were put away, the table was wiped clean, and then covered with a complete set of pens, inks, paper and inkstones.
Wan Zhong was still a little confused: "This..."
Liu Wei dipped the pen in ink for him, put it in his hand, and urged: "Write quickly. You didn't say it tastes so good that you can't stop drinking it. Just write 'it tastes so good that you can't stop drinking it.' It should be simpler to understand. Others It's easy to understand." The last words were said to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly, looking as enthusiastic as possible.
In the end, Wan Zhong wrote the inscription in a daze. The shopkeeper held the piece of rice paper and left as if he were holding his dearest child. As soon as he left, Magistrate Song quickly followed him. After the shopkeeper handed the inscription to the waiter to make a plaque, he turned around and He gave Magistrate Song three hundred taels of silver notes.
Magistrate Song took the three hundred taels and was so happy that he almost flew up.
Wan Zhong still didn't know what was going on, so he told Liu Wei: "I have never written an inscription on the store." Moreover, he felt that the silky chicken soup was not that delicious.
But Liu Wei just patted him on the shoulder and encouraged: "Once you are alive, twice you are familiar. After dinner, let's go drink tea. I'll ask where the most expensive teahouse is." On this day, Liu Wei deceived Wan Zhong. The three shops mentioned it, and then thoroughly taught this method of making money to Magistrate Song. The next day, Magistrate Song began to take other officials to hang out in various high-end entertainment venues in the county, using his perfect skills to make money. tongue, coaxing those officials into high spirits
Xingxing, satisfied, after two days, Magistrate Song not only did not spend a penny on the public account, but also earned more than three thousand taels. When the dividend was finally distributed, he also gave one thousand taels to Liu Wei. On the third day, the day when the governor's office forced Zhuang Chang to hold court, Ji Chundong arrived.
