Enter the Room

Hong Xi satirized Song Tao: "Didn't you say that you have a way to get Eunuch Wan to help you? Then I'm afraid you should prepare more money to see if Eunuch Wan will take action at this time."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at her from top to bottom and said: "However, how many taels of silver did you secretly get from Liangyu Kiln Factory? Let me calculate it for you. Do you have fifty thousand taels? I'm afraid that these five Ten thousand taels is not enough to make Eunuch Wan make a trip to Nanjing for you, right?"

Song Tao suddenly felt horrified.

She did conceal the income from the kiln factory, and just as Hong Xi guessed, it was exactly fifty thousand taels, no more, no less.

Hong Xi, has he been eyeing her for a long time?

She couldn't help but take a few steps back.

But Hong Zhao grabbed Hong Xi and said, "Brother, since you know everything, you must have a way out. I know that my grandfather is partial and you have hatred in your heart. It's too late for me to do anything now. What can I say?" It's too late. I'm willing to take the blame. I just ask you to take your grandfather with you when you escape. My grandfather is too old to bear this prison sentence."

But in the blink of an eye, he seemed to have grown up and quickly figured out the joints. He begged Hong Xi sadly but calmly: "I will repay you by working hard in the next life."

Hong Xi sneered: "What do I want you to do as an ox or a horse? Can you plow two acres of land or carry a hundred catties of grain?"

Hong Zhao ignored his sarcasm and said sincerely: "Brother, don't look at the monk's face and look at the Buddha's face. My grandfather and I are sorry for you, but my father has not been sorry for you."

Hong Xi was silent.

In order for him to grow up with a straight back, his father never brought him back to the Hong family. He even let him take his mother's surname and quietly bought him a property. If his father hadn't died suddenly of illness and Mr. Hong discovered him and forcibly took him back to the Hong family, he would have been just like Hong Zhao, studying at Heshan Academy, taking part in the imperial examination, and pursuing an official career.

Seeing that he softened, Hong Zhao hurriedly said: "Grandpa left some money for me, saying that it would be used for my future studies and that it would be stored in the bank. I'll tell you how to get it..."

"Ah Zhao!" Mr. Hong shouted violently, interrupting Hong Zhao's words, "That money is what I left for you to defend yourself and save your life. I can't give it to him." He also said, "You don't need to say anything to him, he is just a white-eyed wolf. . If it weren’t for me, would he be where he is today? But look what he has done?”

Hong Zhao had a headache and called out "grandfather" and said, "Can't you just listen to me?"

Mr. Hong said angrily: "Except for this matter, I will listen to you in everything."

"Grandfather, I am no longer a child." Hong Zhao tried to persuade Mr. Hong, "The people of Jinyiwei will not let go as long as they smell the smell of blood. Unless Prince Ning comes to vouch for us in person. Don't get involved with my eldest brother. Angry."

Mr. Hong's neck was still stiff and he said, "Don't worry, I'm sure they will let you out."

The two of them said nothing to each other, both wanting to give each other the chance to live.

This made Hong Xi feel even more dazzled. He couldn't help but said: "Don't push it around. We haven't started the formal interrogation yet. We don't know what charges Jin Yiwei will accuse us of. We are just thinking about getting out. Are you daydreaming? There is something wrong with your brain!"

Mr. Hong and Hong Zhao were stunned.

Hong Zhao said in a deep voice: "What do you mean?"

Hong Xi said bluntly as if a jar had been broken: "Who doesn't know about Prince Ning's smuggling? Yuan Yunzhong, the governor of Jiangxi, came here last year. If he really wanted to investigate Prince Ning, he would have investigated him long ago. Why is he taking action now? ? Haven’t you ever thought about the strangeness of this?”

Hong Zhao was thoughtful.

Mr. Hong's face became even more ugly.

Hong Zhao murmured: "Are you saying that the Holy Will has changed? You didn't want to deal with Prince Ning before, but now you have decided to teach Prince Ning a lesson?"

Then none of them can escape.

Hong Xi looked at it and chuckled, then leaned in front of Hong Zhao and said in a voice that everyone could hear: "A Zhao, you are quite smart. It would be a pity if you died in prison like this. However," He turned back to look at Mr. Hong, "You are right. Since I know that the old man is not well-intentioned, I must be on guard against him. I do have a way out. Although I hate the old man, who can't get along with money? But with my ability, I can’t let the whole family off the hook. I can only take one of you away. You guys have decided, who should I take away?”

His malicious intentions were obvious, and Hong Zhao even knew that he was trying to drive a wedge between their ancestors and grandchildren, but he had no choice but to be fooled.

"Let grandpa go!"

"Let A Zhao go!"

The two said in unison.

Song Tao looked at Mr. Hong who had lost his calmness and reason in front of Hong Xi, and then realized that this matter was unusual. It's possible that even if she spends all her savings, she may not be able to hire Wan Gonggong.

And the Hong family is even more unreliable.

Seeing Hong Xi like this, he didn't even intend to let Mr. Hong and Hong Zhao go, let alone her.

She felt cold all over. She threw herself on the thick bars of the cell and cursed at the prison leader in the distance: "I have something to say. I want to see my family. Please help me bring a letter to my mother. I am willing to come forward." Twenty taels, not fifty taels of silver."

Yuan Yunzhong used thunderous means and quickly transferred the Jin Yiwei. Not only that, they also blossomed in various places in the south of the Yangtze River. They took away all the people who helped King Ning. The cells of the county offices in various places could not be locked, so they had to use the cells of the inspection departments of various places. use.

When the news reached Jingdezhen, everyone was even more panicked. Mr. Yan and Chairman Ma were entrusted by the bosses of the kilns and workshops in Jingdezhen to pay a special visit to Song Jiuyun.

"Master Yuan said, this matter has nothing to do with our Jingdezhen." Song Jiyun never dreamed that Yuan Yunzhong would "responsible for the law" and swept across a large area to see people wearing various official uniforms during this period in Yin Yu Tang. Going in and out, it was as lively as a vegetable garden, so she went to ask in the air. Now that Master Yan and the others came to inquire about the news, she told the truth without making any excuses. "The reason why the Hong family was raided was because their home was in the Hong family's area. A wild kiln was set up in the mountain col, and refugees were hired to help King Ning bake imperial porcelain. We are all serious businessmen. We pay taxes and taxes on weekdays. When someone comes to order porcelain, we bake it according to the rules of the imperial kiln factory. The porcelain is delivered, the goods are delivered. Even if it is involved, it is just that you have been deceived and will not be implicated."

Master Yan and others all breathed a sigh of relief and praised Yuan Yunzhong for his fairness in handling matters. Of course, there are those who flatter Song Jiuyun and praise him for being lucky enough to be engaged to Yuan Yunzhong.

Song Jiyun smiled and accepted everyone's compliments, and ordered the little maid to refill everyone's tea and refreshments.

Suddenly there was a burst of yelling and shouting outside.

Song Jiyun couldn't help but frown.

Things like this happened occasionally to the Song family in the past, when the Zeng family was still being supported by their family.

Nothing like this has ever happened since she took charge.

Zheng Quan, who was pouring tea for everyone, just said "I'll go take a look" when he saw Aunt Zheng walking in with a troubled face and said: "The eldest lady is here and insists on seeing you. She said Miss Song San is suffering. The old man of the Hong family is involved, so you have to beg Mr. Yuan for mercy no matter what, and be lenient with Miss Song San because of the friendship you have had with Miss Song San since childhood."
