Chapter 63 Second quarter not because of money, but because of routine

Huarong also rushed to Qingzhou, sending money up and down, trying to exonerate Song Jiang.Fu Yin has gained a lot of benefits, so he has the heart to forgive.When he was promoted to question the case, Song Jiang confessed according to the prior arrangement that two years ago because of Yan Poxi's affair with Hongxing, he argued and fought with wine, killed Yan Poxi by mistake, and fled to Qingfeng Mountain, where he was hijacked by bandits.As for the whereabouts of the bandits, thanks to Song Jiang's righteous persuasion, they changed their ways and went back to their hometowns, and the rampant bandits in Qingfeng Mountain were also calmed down.Fu Yin went to Yuncheng County to collect evidence. Fortunately, Song Jiang was quite popular, and Shi Wenbin, the magistrate of the county, also had many excusable narrations in his official documents.Based on this reason, Fu Yin judged lightly and stabbed Jiangzhou with only twenty sticks.

When he arrived in Jiangzhou Prison City, Song Jiang also sent money from top to bottom, from Guanying (prison director) to jailer (prison guard), everyone was given a red envelope.For the master of the camp alone, it is twenty taels of silver, plus many gifts.As mentioned earlier, one tael of silver is equivalent to more than three hundred yuan, and twenty taels of silver is almost 10,000 yuan.This Song Jiang is not only familiar with the unspoken rules of the government, but also very generous in his actions. He spends money from top to bottom, and joys from top to bottom, which is just like the praise of him in the world.So, the master Guan Ying took Song Jiang's cold and cold as an excuse and exempted him from his hundred killing sticks; and because he was born as a county official, he was not allowed to do hard labor, but went to the office to copy official documents.Seeing that he was so handsome, all the prisoners knew that he was a character, so they all came to curry favor with him.

But it is said that there is a Jieji (equivalent to today's prison warden) in this prison camp. According to the unspoken rules, Song Jiang should also send him a regular money.Unexpectedly, Song Jiang managed everything up and down, but he just ignored the festival.The Jie-level master was furious, and called Song Jiang to the office to teach him a lesson.All the jailers got the benefits of Song Jiang, but they didn't listen to the order of the master of the festival level, and they scattered in a hurry.As the saying goes: "The hand that grabs people is short, but the mouth that eats people is soft." It is also said: "Having money can make ghosts turn the mill." Using money up and down has already turned the viciousness of the jailers into mercy.

The master at the festival level became more and more furious, and he personally brought a stick to beat Song Jiang.Song Jiang said: "Wait a minute! If you want to beat me, may I ask why I am guilty?" The master of the festival said: "You thief is just a licensed product in my hand. You can kill me with a slight cough. Death penalty." Song Jiang sneered and said: "Isn't it just a regular amount of money? If I gave it to you, how could I get your summons?" The master at the festival level became alert and looked at Song Jiang suspiciously.Song Jiang said: "I am a friend of Professor Wu, and I have a letter for you."

When the Master Jie heard this, he hurriedly closed the door and asked, "Which Professor Wu are you talking about?" Song Jiang said: "It's Professor Wu Yong, the 'Smart Star'." He took out an envelope from his arms and handed it to the master of the festival.It turned out that Wu Yong was anxious when he heard the news that Song Jiang had been arrested and brought to justice in Liangshan. He sent a lot of silver and this letter on the way, hoping that it would be useful. Dear readers, this festival master is not an ordinary person, but the famous "Shenxing Taibao" Dai Zong, who has learned a good Taoist technique: ① tie two armored horses to his legs, and perform the "Shenxing method" ", can travel five hundred miles a day; ② tie four armored horses to the legs, and can travel eight hundred miles a day.It seems that today's two-stroke and four-stroke motorcycles are really amazing.Who would have thought that such a great man would bend down in prison?Who would have thought that Wu Yong, the "Smart Star" thousands of miles away, turned out to be the best friend of this great man!

Dai Zong was shocked when he read the letter. He got up, looked at Song Jiang, and bowed.Song Jiang hurriedly helped him up.The two then left the prison city and asked for a private room at a restaurant facing the street in Jiangzhou. The environment was clean and they had a good time talking. According to the custom of this dynasty, the jailer is called the dean, so Dai Zong also has the elegant title of "Dean Dai".Song Jiang was very polite, calling "Dean Dai" in front of "Dean Dai" and back.Dai Zong was arrogant before and respectful later, and kept toasting Song Jiang to apologize.

When the wine was hot, Song Jiang began to care about Dai Zong's private life, and asked, "How much income can you earn as the dean for a year, including annual salary and regular money?" Dai Zong replied: "The annual salary is only more than 30 taels of money, but the regular money is a good income. But all the soldiers who are sent to the army have to send five taels of regular money. After a year, the total is 14,500 taels of silver." Good money." Song Jiang shouted in response: "You are a rich man! Brother Yu, when I was working in the yamen, I was able to support a foreign house for ten taels of silver every year. The regular money of 1,450 taels of silver is enough to support a family. An army of beauties!"

Dai Zong said: "What do you want so many beauties? Even if you have a lot of money, you can't enjoy it. How can you be addicted to makeup when you are born a man?" Song Jiang asked: "Then what do you need so much money for?" Dai Zong said: "Yes, what do I need so much money for? There are thousands of hectares of fertile land, and there are only three meals for a solar eclipse. There are thousands of mansions in Guangsha, and the night sleep is only seven feet. What do I need so much money for? However, this routine money is always To be charged. Regular money, regular money, not because of money, but because of routine."
