Chen Dongyue is not very lucky today.

But Song Ke was lucky.

After he left the old guardhouse, he went straight to the government office to find Magistrate Sun.

But I heard that Magistrate Sun had fallen ill because of the cold he caught last night.

In this case, Song Ke politely bought a sack of pears and went to the Sun Mansion to visit the doctor.

If it weren't for the desire to extort money, Song Ke would not have wanted to buy this sack of pears based on his stingy temperament.

After arriving at Desun Mansion and reporting his name, Song Ke was quickly taken into Magistrate Sun's study room.

At this time, Magistrate Sun was already wearing a wool cloak and waiting for Song Ke in the study.

Song Ke, on the other hand, only wore the daily autumn clothes of the Beilin Army. The material was just a single layer of thin shirt.

Magistrate Sun was so afraid of the cold. It seemed that he had caught the wind chill after standing all night.

The pears were not bought in vain.

Thinking of this, Song Ke handed over a sack of pears, "I heard that Mr. Sun is ill, so I came here to visit."

"Thank you, thank you, these pears are really good." Magistrate Sun looked at the pears in the sack, which were about the size of eyeballs, and kept thanking him.

Of course, Song Ke didn't think anything was wrong.

Although a sack of pears only costs more than a hundred yuan.

But quantity is better than quantity.

Anyway, Song Ke, who had tried one, thought that the pears were pretty good except that they were not sweet.

But what Magistrate Sun cares about is not pears.

But at this time, Song Ke could still come to visit him, which meant that King Kang did not classify himself and Liu Tongzhi as comrades.

So he asked tentatively, "I wonder when the prince will make a conclusion on Liu Tongzhi's case?"

"Your Majesty is drafting the document these days and preparing the above-mentioned center. Naturally, there will be imperial envoys to verify it when the time comes." Song Ke said.

Magistrate Sun was stunned, "Why, why did you alert the court? Liu Tongzhi is just a fifth-rank local official..."

"After all, the government office is the head of the government. If something goes wrong, it must be reported truthfully. Isn't Magistrate Sun going to write a petition to plead guilty to the emperor?"

After Song Ke finished speaking, he glanced at Magistrate Sun coldly.

Magistrate Sun, who was already feeling slightly cold due to the cold wind, felt his spine run cold.

He trembled his lips and said: "Of course I have to plead guilty. But you also know, Mr. Song, that I really don't know anything about Liu Tongzhi... I wonder if I can ask the prince to give me a few words of testimony." ah?"

"This..." Song Ke looked embarrassed.

The human spirit Magistrate Sun suddenly thought of a possibility that Song Ke came today.

It is definitely impossible to come and visit him.

The only possibility is to figure out what to do to drag him down.

But it’s not easy to speak.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was good. Magistrate Sun asked tentatively: "I wonder, Mr. Song, what's the problem? If there is anything I can do to help, just ask and I will do my best." ."

"There is indeed something that is quite difficult." Song Ke said in a deep voice.

Magistrate Sun was delighted.

It seemed that he had guessed correctly.

So he quickly said: "Boss Song, we are all old friends. If you have any difficulties, just tell me. Just treat me as your own brother."

"I don't dare to be a real brother," Song Ke thought to himself. Although my brother is not very smart, his character is much better than yours. "Then I can speak directly."

"Please speak." Magistrate Sun poured a cup of tea for Song Ke and then made a gesture of invitation.

Song Ke did not take the tea cup, but said directly: "This matter is actually related to the suppression of bandits.

The prince asked me to clean up the gangs in Liaozhou Prefecture as soon as possible, but because our Beilin Army is fighting on multiple fronts, it is really difficult to sustain food and grass.

I can find people, but the military expenditure... The Beilin Army may have some difficulties, so so far we can only make small fuss, and there is no end to the suppression of bandits. "

understood.

Came to ask for money.

Magistrate Sun nodded slightly.

It's okay to ask for money, but...he also has conditions.

So Magistrate Sun said, "You don't know the situation in the government office, Mr. Song. The situation in the past few years has been so bad, and there has been a deficit every year.

But suppressing bandits is indeed the top priority of our Liaozhou government. As the prefect, I do have a responsibility.

Well, if possible, I am willing to raise military resources for Commander Song.

But... I'm just afraid that before the military resources have been raised, my official title will no longer be guaranteed.

After all, I was asked to come up with so much money, but I didn’t have it. In the name of the prefect, I had to raise it from the major merchant families in the prefecture...

If I lose my name, I'm afraid that people won't listen to me. "

"That's it." Song Ke looked at Magistrate Sun steadily, nodded twice, and then stopped talking.

Magistrate Sun was not frightened, he just sighed with a look of embarrassment.

"If you are really in trouble, then I'll find another way." After saying that, Song Ke drank the tea in front of him, stood up, turned around and left.

Magistrate Sun suddenly stood up and shouted, "Song, please stay!"

But because this man really had a high fever, as soon as he moved violently, his vision went dark and he fell back into the chair again.

But Song Ke had already opened the study door and was about to step out.

Unexpectedly, before raising her legs, she met Mrs. Sun head-on.

Without saying anything, Mrs. Sun started crying when she saw Song Ke, "Brother-in-law Song..."

Song Ke took two steps back indoors in fear, "What brother-in-law?"

He didn't even know when he and Mrs. Sun got married.

"When Dongyue calls me Sister Jin, I will naturally call you Brother-in-law Song."

Should I say it or not, Mrs. Sun is still very smart in her speech.

She cried, but it didn't delay her speech at all.

Song Ke, who had become Mrs. Sun's brother-in-law inexplicably, frowned slightly, "Mrs. Sun has something to say, don't do this..."

Why is this woman getting closer and closer?

It's very annoying, stay away from me! !

Mrs. Sun then cried and cried: "Brother-in-law Song, you also know that our master really doesn't know anything about Liu Tongzhi."

"You don't know at all?" Song Ke raised his eyebrows.

"...I only know a little bit." Mrs. Sun corrected her bravely, "Yes, he is at fault, but he also has his own helplessness. Our master is here in Liaozhou. , Jinjin has been in the industry for more than ten years, and now he really can’t be labeled as a bandit!

Sister, please, please say a few more kind words for our master in front of King Kang. We will definitely give you the military resources!

I'm not sure how much it will be, but...10,000 taels of silver, is it enough? ! If it’s not enough, I’ll get enough even if I sell my house. "

When he heard that he was going to take out ten thousand taels, Magistrate Sun, who had finally regained consciousness, saw his eyes darken again.

Fortunately, Song Ke finally nodded, "Ten thousand taels is enough."

If a thousand people come, just save some money, I guess it will be enough.

"What about King Kang..." Mrs. Sun looked at Song Ke expectantly.

"I won't say nice things," Song Ke, who had extorted money, said, although his expression did not change, his face was a little flushed, "but I can take Magistrate Sun to Prince Kang's Mansion and let him explain to the prince himself.

In addition, I will report to the general of the Beilin Army about your raising money to suppress the bandits, and the prince should also report it to the central committee. "

"Okay, okay, this is enough," Mrs. Sun sniffed and wiped away her tears, "Brother Song, don't worry, our master will definitely prepare everything for you about the money within three days."

After saying that, Mrs. Sun walked up to Magistrate Sun's chair and patted him twice, "Master, can you still make it? If not, let Sun Bing ask someone to carry you to the palace?"

"Do we have to go now?" Magistrate Sun's voice sounded a little breathy.

Mrs. Sun nodded endlessly, "Strike while the iron is hot. Go quickly. If the prince's love letter is sent to you, we won't be able to get it back!"

After saying that, she turned to look at Song Ke, "Brother-in-law Song, I'm sorry to bother you about this! You should go to the palace now.

By the way, take the three thousand taels of silver notes I have here first, and I will send you the remaining seven thousand taels in two days. "

"Okay," Song Ke accepted the money without hesitation, "I just want to take this bank note to the prince's palace and let him have a look. Mr. Sun, can you go?"

"I...cough cough cough..." Magistrate Sun stood up and choked twice.

"Sun Bing, Sun Bing!! Hurry up and call two strong servants to carry me to the palace!" Mrs. Sun shouted twice towards the door.

Soon Sun Bing really came with two servants.

Song Ke hugged Mrs. Sun and took the lead to walk out.

Magistrate Sun was almost in tears, "If I die on the road today, Boss Song, you must tell people that I died because of the suppression of bandits..."

"okay."

Honest person, answer very sincerely.
