Chapter 56 Su Shi, can Su Shi still get into trouble?
"Someone's going to jump into the river?" Su Jinghe looked at the person. He had an ordinary face. If he turned around and ran away, he might not be recognized by his face. "What does this have to do with us?"
Su Jinghe looked at the newcomer and asked, "Our contestants are about to leave, and you're saying someone jumped into the river?"
It was unclear whether the visitor had heard Su Jinghe's words or not. He just kept repeating, "You guys set up the complaint wall, right? My brother wanted to jump into the river because of the complaint wall!"
Qian Zhongyi hadn't left yet. She looked at the man, narrowed her eyes slightly, and opened her mouth, almost making him angry to death, "Not like."
"What are you talking about, little girl? Do you have the right to speak?" This person is not only unreasonable, but also has poor quality. He starts cursing as soon as he opens his mouth.
Qian Zhongyi didn't want to indulge him. She snorted coldly, her Jiangnan lady aura rising. "I say, your demeanor and dress are unlike any of us here. I've seen everyone here. Some come from poor families, but none of them look like you. Not a single one of them."
"You said you've seen it, so you've seen it? I've already told you, my dear brother was forced to jump into the river because of the wall of complaints that this lousy place of yours created. Are you going to do anything about it?" His eyes now turned to the person right next to him...
"Mr. Yan? Why are you here? Are you here to seek justice for the common people?"
With this kind of acting...he won't even make it one round in a variety show before being carried off.
Thanks to Qian Zhongyi's help in delaying the matter for a while, Su Jinghe glanced at the "melon".
Just like the way this person came here aggressively to pick a fight, this "melon" was indeed looking for trouble.
This guy is really bold. He passed by a river and saw a floating corpse. He immediately said that it was his own brother who was forced to jump into the river. He even incited some people. Now people are responsible for the salvage work, and he is here to make trouble?
Oh My God……
Yan Shu was shocked when he heard the news. How could there be such a person? He just spoke without hesitation.
Zhang Dexiang looked at the man in front of him again and again. He had an ordinary appearance and looked like a martial artist. Judging from his physique, he should be considered a fighter. He didn't expect that he had so many bad ideas.
Su Jinghe looked at the floating corpse and lamented how such a coincidence could happen in the world.
[It turns out this brute actually has a younger brother. He'd heard about the literary competition we were hosting at Fenghua Kindergarten and wanted to enter, but couldn't find a way to do so.]
Seeing this, Su Jinghe felt a little sorry. After all, the original intention of the competition was "personal customization", which could be regarded as dragging the Kong family into it and catching the turtle in the jar.
But it won’t happen next time. Next time I will just register for the competition, go through auditions, and then compete in rounds!
Su Jinghe has already regarded this as an internal test of the game, or an early access version.
[However, he asked someone to find a connection. That person supplies vegetables to the cafeteria, so he can see the complaint wall every day...
So that's what happened. No wonder he started complaining about the wall. I thought it was the boss or Yan Shu who caused this. It turns out this incident wasn't caused by their political enemies, but retaliation against them.
this……
This is not appropriate for retaliation.
Zhang Dexiang was a little shocked. If this was not just Su Jinghe's inner voice, he would have started the class directly.
Retaliation should be more precise!
If a person jumps into the river, or it is such a thing that the cause and effect can be found out with just an investigation, it will not be harmful to their careers at all, unless it really offends them.
Yan Shu tasted something and found that it was natural for Su Jinghe to want to make money, enjoy himself, and do all kinds of strange things.
Even praising people makes people feel comfortable. It seems that if the person is not really good, he will really have no interest in a career in politics. He will see that sooner or later he will encroach on the power of the court and the country, and even become a flatterer who has to rely on him to become the emperor.
But the idea of "framing political enemies" is very naive...
Isn’t that too innocent?
He is so innocent that he seems like he would never do anything bad to others.
Yan Shu pondered, wondering what kind of possibility the court had come up with regarding Su Jinghe.
It was the "future" he saw after binding with the artifact that gave him so many wonderful ideas.
Or is it simply a "future soul" that occupied Su Jinghe's body?
But the Su family didn't have any special reaction, and it looked like he was...
The strong man really didn't understand. None of these people said anything, which made him feel very awkward standing there. But fortunately, someone passed by and he raised his voice again.
"It was you who created the complaint wall and forced my brother to jump into the river. He's already floating on a blister. If I hadn't looked at his clothes, I wouldn't have recognized him as my brother. And you're still messing with me. This..."
As he spoke, he even began to wipe away tears.
Song Shiyi, who was just passing by, had to come over after hearing this. As soon as he came, he stood beside Su Jinghe.
"This guy... probably took advantage of the fact that the other contestants had left and were about to disperse to sneak in. Why not just get someone to kick him out?"
Another one who doesn't treat people as human beings at all!
This guy came here to cause trouble, and when he saw that no one was following his script, he got upset.
Finally, he decided to give up and looked at these people, looking back and forth. "Are you going to come out with me or not? This is such a big deal, someone has to solve it, right? If you don't solve it, I will go to Kaifeng Mansion and beat the drum to report it!"
After Bao Zheng took charge of Kaifeng Prefecture, he specifically told the people that they could beat the Kaifeng Prefecture's drum for reporting without being beaten, but if the emperor did not come, only he would handle the case.
Many people did not beat the drums to summon the emperor, but with his words, their trust in Kaifeng Prefecture increased a lot.
There are cases big and small, many of which are even old and crowded cases, and people come forward to express their desire to solve them and overturn the verdicts.
Bao Zheng was very busy, and his reputation as "Judge Bao" was gradually spreading.
Humph, each of these officials must have a lot of cases on their hands. If they enter the yamen, they will definitely not be able to get out, and they will definitely follow me.
The burly man was calculating in his mind, not knowing that Su Jinghe, just by standing there and seemingly not interacting with him, had already uncovered him thoroughly.
This is outrageous. On a whim, they wanted to make a big deal out of this, asking us to pay to settle it and keep it quiet. This has simply delayed the recovery of the body, which the parents are genuinely looking for.
Su Jinghe glared at the strong man. The strong man thought he was threatened, so instead of being angry, he was happy and waited for Su Jinghe to pay. For a moment, he jumped even more happily.
"How about it? Come with me now? See my brother..."
"Your brother ran away from home three days ago, and you haven't found him yet." Su Jinghe looked at him, his eyes still filled with dissatisfaction.
His words surprised the strong man, "You, how did you know? Sure enough, my brother...it must be you, right?!"
The burly man was about to say, "Did my brother come to your place?", but then he realized that he was trying to scam people, so he quickly changed his words.
"Your brother has nothing to do with us. If you go to the road you came from now, you can still see your brother holding a piece of paper and asking people for autographs from carriage to carriage."
Su Jinghe sneered.
The strong man's younger brother had some business acumen. He knew that some of the participants were famous talents. When these people took the imperial examinations and pursued a career in officialdom, or even if they did not take the examinations at all but continued to engage in literature in the future, their calligraphy would definitely be very valuable.
This person had this intention in mind, and he wanted people to sign their names, and it would be even better if they left some calligraphy or painting. He wouldn't be picky if they didn't have it.
"What? My...my brother clearly jumped into the river and died. Don't talk nonsense. Besides, how do you know what's going on outside? I came in and saw you talking here. You haven't even been outside."
The strong man insisted that his brother was dead. He relied on the fact that the corpse could not speak and was prepared to rely on his words to make people think that it was his brother.
After all, who would curse their brother to death?
The strong man planned to use his numbers to extort some money from them, and then simply collect the body as a reward.
He hadn't even prepared to go to the yamen himself. He felt that others would certainly not dare to go either. In any case, they would definitely follow his script!
Now he hadn't left for a long time and was still being pestered by this man about where his brother was. The strong man looked like he was about to make a scene.
"That corpse is really related to your brother, although it is not your brother." Su Jinghe's words shocked the strong man again.
Is it related to his brother? If what this person said is true...
His younger brother actually had a lover, a man. He didn't want them to be together and wanted them to break up. This was also the reason why his younger brother ran away from home.
"After your brother ran away from home, he broke up with that person, saying he wanted to work hard and live a decent life. Then he jumped into the river. It's been three days since he jumped. His family is still looking for him. If you know him, please send him home."
Su Jinghe was also somewhat helpless. This matter had caused...
"That has nothing to do with my brother. It wasn't my brother who asked him to jump into the river!" The strong man subconsciously excused his brother after hearing this.
"Didn't you say that the one who jumped into the river was your brother?" Zhang Dexiang added fuel to the fire, causing the strong man to start shouting words like "unfair" at the top of his voice.
"Just kick him out. This has nothing to do with us." Song Shiyi looked at Su Jinghe. Although he was just passing by, Su Jinghe did have something else to do today.
"Don't we have to leave time..."
After the award ceremony, Su Jinghe's schedule also included a small award ceremony to be held for the two little princes.
Of course, he was presenting awards to others here, and over there, the princes were presenting awards to him, and it was also in conjunction with the children's house-playing.
But he is His Highness, and we really can't delay.
"I'll take care of it. Come on, lead the way." Yan Shu raised his eyebrows and looked at the strong man. "Don't worry, I won't eat people."
Perhaps it was because Yan Shu looked weak, or perhaps it was because Yan Shu was a high-ranking official, so one could guess that he was very rich. The strong man was really directed by these words to lead the way.
The backs of the two people hurried away.
"If this person knew that as soon as he went out, there would be twenty people following him, would he still choose to bring Yan Shu?" Zhang Dexiang was also very mean.
"Twenty? That many?" Su Jinghe was shocked. "Are they here to receive the award or to fight?"
"What are you talking about? This is called valuing you." Zhang Dexiang was also shocked when he came out, but Yan Shu said something like "Su Jinghe feels very mysterious" and "There is always something happening, so it feels safer to bring more people with you", so he brought so many people.
Well... this time it's not in vain.
Zhang Dexiang looked at Su Jinghe and began to believe what the genius Yan Shu said.
This person is a bit mysterious. Doesn't Yan Shu's advance preparation come in handy now? When he looks for Su Jinghe in the future, should he bring more people with him?
Su Jinghe was confused by Zhang Dexiang's ambiguous look. After thinking for a while, he said, "Boss, you are not afraid to go back alone, right? How about I find twenty people, no, twenty-one people to take you back?"
Twenty strong men, including Yan Shu, there are indeed twenty-one.
Qian Zhongyi wanted to laugh after hearing this, but he managed to hold back his laughter.
Zhang Dexiang was speechless. "Why would so many people come back with me? Am I going to attack Lu Yijian?"
"That number isn't enough. We need to bring at least 800 of them. Our Prime Minister Lu can command hundreds of people at once. If we only bring 21, we'll be captured quickly."
Su Jinghe was also serious.
"You're amazing! I'm going to tell this joke to Lu Yijian."
Zhang Dexiang really found it funny. How could people get along with such an interesting thing?
Zhang Dexiang also left quickly. He was not in a hurry to tell jokes to Lu Yijian, but Su Jinghe's "auction house" idea was really profitable.
"This idea..." Lu Yijian thought about it and felt that it was a bit too mean. "It wasn't your idea, was it?"
"Oh my, why do you feel that this is not what I came up with when you heard it? Can't I think of such a good idea?" Zhang Dexiang didn't say anything, waiting for Lu Yijian to guess. If he thought it was his idea, he would have reasons to laugh at him in the next month.
"Su Jinghe's idea?"
It was a bit far away, and when Su Jinghe thought about this matter, he probably wasn't excited enough to let Bian Jingdu cover his thoughts.
Otherwise, Lu Yijian would have known about it long ago before Zhang Dexiang came back to tell him about it.
"Right? Only Su Jinghe could come up with such an idea that harms others and benefits himself. He also said... the idea of erecting a monument is also very harmful."
Zhang Dexiang originally wanted to complain about Su Jinghe's complaints about Zhenzong. Zhenzong liked fame, so he followed the example of his predecessors and held the Fengshan Ceremony on Mount Tai. Wasn't Su Jinghe's idea just to lure people like "Zhenzong"?
But he still didn't say it. Walls have ears, let alone the walls of Lu Yijian's house.
Lü Yijian didn't quite understand who Zhang Dexiang was referring to, but after learning that it was Su Jinghe's idea, he said, "His ideas are quite reminiscent of Guan Zhong's. In other words, in our era, during the heyday of Confucianism, if it were the pre-Qin period, people would probably also learn from Guan Zhong."
"Huh? That's not what you said just now." Lu Yijian's change of words into praise made Zhang Dexiang a little defensive.
While their discussion was still going on, Su Jinghe had already rushed to meet the two young princes.
It’s still the palace, and there are other partners.
"Greetings, Your Highness." It had been a while since Su Jinghe had bowed so politely, simply because the people who came included Zhao Zongshi.
He really didn't expect that the three little ones would get in touch again.
This is also related to the fact that the kindergarten run by Su Jinghe is too remote and does not allow people to send things.
I can order takeout in the palace, but I can’t in the kindergarten. Who can I complain to?
But there are always more solutions than problems. Instead of interacting with strangers every day, smart children have learned to interact with acquaintances every day.
Unfortunately, Song Renzong did not allow anyone else to send them, and he also considered the Cao family, but...
Empress Cao also did not support their behavior of always eating takeout, and the Cao family's future was cut off.
This finally made them think of Zhao Zongshi, who now settled in Bian Jing and often went to the farm he owned in the suburbs because he loved farming.
In the midst of playing power games and farming, Zhao Zongshi resolutely devoted himself to farming.
His place was quite remote, and it was in the same place as Su Jinghe's kindergarten, not particularly far away.
So their takeaway food was first delivered to Zhao Zongshi’s farm, and then delivered by Zhao Zongshi’s people.
"When I become the president of the student union, can I invite Brother Zongshi to come?" Princess Fukang did not want to waste the opportunity for Su Jinghe and Zhao Zongshi to meet, so she said it in advance.
"Sure, sure. Of course no problem."
They've already started playing together, how can we stop them?
Su Jinghe even wanted to look up at the sky. He chose this remote place to locate the kindergarten not to prevent them from ordering takeout, but simply because he didn't want anyone to find out.
Otherwise, would they have gone to such lengths to organize a competition in the name of a kindergarten and find a new venue?
Of course, there is also the idea of moving to a new place to make a little more money.
Among those who are interested, Zhao Zongshi, who is the most powerful contender for the throne, ranks at the top!
Even other countries that wanted to use conspiracy and trickery to make the Song Dynasty without an heir had to rank second.
After all, Su Jinghe really asked the system to pay attention every day to see if anyone wanted to harm the two young princes, and to be ready to eliminate any attack as soon as there was one.
Princess Fukang looked at Su Jinghe, who was in a bad mood, with some confusion. She thought that Su Jinghe was not satisfied with the reward they gave him, so she took two steps forward.
"Teacher Su, we have prepared gifts! There are more than just trophies and medals~"
When designing these two things, Su Jinghe did not forget to consider the opinions of the two princes.
He was serious about training the two's ability to handle things, and would ask them to vote together on both big and small matters.
Because it was difficult to vote among four people, Hu Yuan was also involved.
In this regard, Song Shiyi often thought: In fact, there is no need to trouble Teacher Hu Yuan, as long as we kick this little Karami out.
Su Jinghe didn't give him the chance to slack off.
"Gift?" Su Jinghe was stunned when he heard it. "It can't be expensive, right? No, if I really took something expensive from you, people would say I took advantage of your young age to cover up everything. I really can't do such a thing as cheating children out of their money."
"It's not our money, so it's not like we're trying to cheat kids out of their money." Zui Xinglai was holding a small flowerpot in his hand, which was one of the small gifts Zhao Zongshi brought them. He was pulling at the leaves of the graceful saplings while causing trouble for Su Jinghe.
Is this the truth?
Su Jinghe was really convinced. In a trance, he even regretted that he shouldn't always bother the two children with different questions, and he shouldn't have dragged Hu Yuan into it.
Hu Yuan always used voting as an excuse to teach the two children. Look at what she taught them! She was quite quick-witted.
"It's not expensive, it's not expensive." Princess Fukang hosted the event and brought many children, and of course, many guards, to bring love to the grassroots level and saw many women who were not living well.
Some people are newly married and widowed. They are not too old, but they don’t want to remarry. Their brother has the final say in the family and he won’t let them go home. So they have to live alone and lead a simple and poor life.
Some people are widowed and still have to take care of children. They are old and their children have not made any progress. They have been taking the imperial examinations for thirty years and still have to let their elderly mothers pay for them.
The former wanted to take the lead and get her brother out of the house.
The latter Princess Fukang also calmly proposed to teacher Hu Yuan and her father Song Renzong that if a candidate had taken the exam for 30 years without any prospects, it meant that he was not suitable for the job and would not be able to contribute well to the officialdom when he was older. It would be better to limit the age of the examinee in the future.
However, they were all rejected. He listened to her report carefully, but refused without giving a reason. In the end, Su Jinghe gave the answer.
"We think these people are useless, after all, a rebellion by intellectuals wouldn't succeed in three years. But if you really leave them idle, their words and pens will incite even more people. If we bring up this age limit, we'll be scolded. And then these people who have taken the exam for thirty years still don't have a job, but they have plenty of time."
Su Jinghe said this and also mentioned the importance of "social stability".
This made Princess Fukang's relationship with him even better. Only Teacher Xiao Su would explain so patiently!
Princess Fukang also paid the most for the gifts. "It's really not expensive, but we'll see after we give out the awards."
There were only three people participating in the award ceremony.
Su Jinghe, Song Shiyi and Hu Yuan.
"Actually, I'm just here to keep you company, right?" Song Shiyi wanted to say that he was "accompanying the prince to study."
How could Song Shiyi have the honor to accept the awards from the two princes together with Su Jinghe!
"I am more like them?" Hu Yuan had known them for a long time, and like Song Shiyi, he was infected with many new words by Su Jinghe.
The same thing happened during the final awards ceremony. If Su Jinghe were to comment, it would definitely be—
When the night bell rings, kindness appears.
Or maybe——
This place can’t accommodate all these old people!
At the end of the award ceremony, there was a group award, but it was not given to the three of them, but to the other palace maids, eunuchs, and guards who had been taking care of them.
"This trick must have been yours, right?" Song Shiyi looked at the people who received the collective reward gift "a wooden medal" one by one. These people were crying with joy. The more Song Shiyi looked at it, the more he felt that this method was too much like what Su Jinghe would come up with.
"Oh, just tell me whether I should be thanked or not." Su Jinghe raised his eyebrows, "Isn't it very useful?"
"I say, if Your Majesty wants to exempt taxes in the future, there's no need to mention natural disasters or man-made disasters. Just say thank you for everyone's hard work this year and exempt a few percent of next year's taxes. Wouldn't that move the people to tears?"
Su Jinghe thought of this and then remembered something that made him speechless. He also mentioned it casually, "It's much more effective than a general amnesty. The people who are pardoned are all criminals. Few people will be happy."
"That does make people happier." Hu Yuan also put himself in the situation and thought, what if it was not compensation, but a reward.
"This is amazing. The people will definitely be happy."
He was very happy when he thought about it. Someone suddenly said, "You have done a great job this year." This person was His Majesty and the Song Dynasty.
Oh, then I’m really good!
Su Jinghe's life soon returned to normal. He punched in at the kindergarten from nine to five every day. He also had his own brothers and sisters in the kindergarten, although these people did not take the initiative to look for him at school.
Um……
Su Jinghe was just thinking that his younger brothers and sisters were well behaved when someone came to his door.
"Teacher Xiao Su, Teacher Xiao Su, Su Shi bullied me!"
The child came to complain.
This is the disadvantage of being a teacher in school while children are still around. They come to complain without even waiting until school is over.
But...Su Shi? Su Shi, who spends his days eating and making friends, could possibly get into trouble?
