Chapter 2318 Not paying back the money owed


Chapter 2318: Not paying back the money you owe

Xu Jingzong has never been a diligent person.

Although there is no shortage of resourcefulness, he lacks a bit of tenacity and perseverance. He likes shortcuts when encountering problems, fails to be steady and hardworking, refuses to bow his head, and is frivolous and restless.

Therefore, all the eighteen bachelors of the Qin Palace were successful, but he was the only one who has been wasted until now and has not been reused...

Xu Jingzong naturally knew what was wrong with him. Seeing that his colleagues at the time had already been promoted to high positions and became famous, how could he not be impatient?

So this time, I really paid attention to the affairs of the academy and concentrated on running it, using this as the foundation for re-starting my career. He believed that with his qualifications, as long as he could achieve results, it would be a smooth road to promotion. When the old guys like Zhang Sun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, etc. were all beaten to death, who else would have the qualifications to look at the court? Deeper than yourself?

This is an unparalleled advantage. Perhaps it is a bit difficult to ascend the cabinet and become the prime minister. The six ministers and nine ministers have to have their own position.

Why do you have to succumb to a yellow-mouthed child like this?

Shame!

In the check-in room of the academy, Xu Jingzong, who stayed here last night, raised his head with a guilty conscience and looked outside in the direction of the mountain gate through the window. The sun had just risen, the golden sunshine was shining on the treetops, and the birds were chirping in the morning breeze. , there was no trace of that stick, and then he quietly breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, picked up the tea cup on the desk, took a few sips, breathed a sigh of relief, and stretched his muscles.

At present, everything is in full swing, and all affairs of the academy are on track. It is just waiting for the start of school in the fall, and it will become the center of attention of the entire Tang Dynasty.

This made Xu Jingzong's vanity very satisfied. It seemed that it was not so difficult to accept that the stick dumped all the trivial matters on him.

Of course, the most important thing is that he teamed up with Fang Jun and pushed another Si Ye, Chu Suiliang, into the corner. He had no chance to interfere in the affairs of the academy. Even if the academy cafeteria provided food and purchased rice for the handymen every day, he had to He, the chief bookkeeper, signed and stamped his signature, otherwise the money spent would not be reimbursed at all...

Is this what it feels like to have great power?

Xu Jingzong sighed, he had been in a state of confusion for half his life, and now he has only enjoyed the taste of power when he is nearly fifty years old... It can be said that he has a good meal and is not afraid of being late.

There was a rapid sound of horse hooves outside. Xu Jingzong looked out of the window and saw Fang Jun coming on horseback with a group of generals. He entered the mountain gate, swung his stirrup, got off the saddle, jumped off the horse, and strode towards the duty room. Come.

Xu Jingzong stood up and walked to the door, rubbed his face, put on a warm smile, then opened the door and greeted Fang Jun.

Fang Jun strode to the door. When he saw Xu Jingzong, he cupped his hands and said, "Master Xu, is it so early?"

Xu Jingzong chuckled and said with a clear face: "There are a lot of chores in the academy. It was too late to finish last night, and there was already a curfew in the city. Fortunately, I stayed here for the night. I got up early in the morning and took a walk. I did some official business early, so I felt clear-headed. Get twice the result with half the effort.”

Fang Jun glanced at him with a half-smile, nodded slightly, and confirmed.

In the officialdom, no one should say anything about being indifferent to fame and wealth. I have always prided myself on being unconventional. Now, isn't it just for a quota in the military aircraft department to move around and operate in various parties?

It is a good thing to be ambitious. Only when you want to make progress will you be motivated, and only when you are motivated can you work seriously.

If every official is indifferent to fame and fortune and gets by, no matter how honest they are, what will the common people in the world do?

Xu Jingzong felt happy when he saw Fang Jun's smile.

It was really not easy to get Fang Jun's approval. He was so busy that he took on all the chores in the academy, so at last he was not tired in vain.

Then he was shocked, what was wrong with him, that he expected Fang Jun's approval so much?

Mother!

Isn't all this exhausting work possible thanks to this little bastard?

He does nothing for his own work. He wanders around all day doing nothing, leaving me here so tired that he hits his head on the back... I am so mean!

The smile on his face quickly faded, and Xu Jingzong said seriously: "Fang Huima, you see, you owe me the one hundred guan..."

Fang Jun was about to walk in. He was stunned when he heard this, stopped and said in surprise: "When did I owe you money?"

Xu Jingzong is furious, why do you want to default on your debt?

He suddenly became anxious: "That day, Gao Xingxing came with a group of dandies to cause trouble. Later, my consort, you asked me to prepare a banquet. It was a first-class banquet in Songhe Tower. It cost a hundred guan. The academy is It is impossible to reimburse, but you said it will be charged to your account!”

Fang Jun slapped his forehead and said apologetically: "Oh, I've been so busy these days that I forgot about this. That's right, that hundred coins are counted in my account... But then again After all, it’s only a hundred dollars. Isn’t it a bit unreasonable for you to collect debts after meeting me this early in the morning?”

Xu Jingzong said angrily: "Erlang, your family is so rich that it rivals the country. Of course you don't take this kind of money seriously, but how much salary do I get in a month? You are standing and talking without pain!"

"Okay, okay!"

Fang Jun was impatient with his complaints and said casually: "Isn't it just a hundred strings? I'll scratch you to death! I'll give it to you later."

Xu Jingzong quits and looks back? When you look back, you may not know where you will receive it again...

He tugged at the corner of Fang Jun's clothes and was about to speak when a cry suddenly came from outside: "Fang Jun's Consort!"

The two of them turned around in shock, and saw that Fang Jun's general Bu Qu had rushed out of the gate and pushed a thin man in white to the ground...

Xu Jingzong quickly let go of his hand and followed Fang Jun. He heard Fang Jun ask: "What's going on?"

Before they could answer, the little man in white who was pushed to the ground said loudly: "Fang Fang Ma, I am Diao Yan, my father Diao Wenyi..."

Diao Wenyi?

Fang Jun was stunned for a moment, the name seemed a bit familiar... Then he remembered, isn't this the same guard who spent the whole day visiting incognito in order to prevent His Majesty Li Er, and pretended to be an assassin at night to scare His Majesty Li Er, thereby successfully committing suicide?

Take another look and see where Diao Yan is wearing white clothes?

It is clearly a filial piety...

Fang Jun waved his hand: "Let him get up."

"Here."

The soldiers searched the boy up and down and found no daggers, daggers or other weapons, so they released Diao Yan.

Diao Yan got up from the ground, straightened his clothes, first bowed to Fang Jun on the ground, then paid homage to Fang Jun, prostrated himself on the ground, and said: "Diao Yan thanks Fang Jun for his righteous words, which saved our family from being implicated in my father's sins and allowed it to continue." Incense, great kindness, never forgotten.”

"Bang bang bang" he kowtowed three times in a row.

Fang Jun was stunned and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up. He said warmly: "Why is this necessary? I am just discussing the matter. Your father deserves to die for his crime, but the harm will not come to his family. This is stipulated by the laws of the Tang Dynasty. There is no need to thank me."< br>


Diao Yan was only thirteen or fourteen years old, with a handsome face. He was kneeling on the ground and cried: "But among the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty and the Gonggun princes, who dares to speak of the laws of the Tang Dynasty in front of the emperor? Only you, Prince Consort, can do that." You are a great benefactor to our Diao family. You should never forget your great kindness in every life, and you will never regret it until you die..."

"Okay, okay!"

Fang Jun struggled with his hands, lifted his thin body up, and warned: "The crime your father committed has been the fate of the Yi tribe in all dynasties. Your majesty is kind and does not want to destroy your family. It’s not a word from my official Suggestions can be erased. You should be grateful, be positive, work hard to learn martial arts, and be successful in the future, instead of being resentful, blinded by hatred, and living in resentment and obsession all your life. "

Diao Yan struggled to get away from Fang Jun, knelt down and kowtowed, saying: "I understand, my father brought his own death. Your Majesty forgives my family, how dare you have any resentment? I will definitely serve the king."

Fang Jun gave him another comforting exhortation before sending him off.

With such a fuss, the sun was already rising high, and Fang Jun said helplessly: "Originally, I was thinking about any difficulties in the academy. You all will report them, and I will solve them at my discretion. But it is getting late now, and I still have to go to the Ministry of War. After taking office, let’s leave it at that for today. Mr. Xu, if you do. If there is anything difficult to decide in the academy, you might as well write it down for me to deal with later, or you can send someone to the Ministry of War Yamen to report it. The day when the academy starts is not far away, so you should be alert and alert. Don’t be careless.”

"Here!"

Xu Jingzong responded and said: "I am here in the academy, so the prince-in-law can rest assured, but the one hundred strings..."

Halfway through the words, I looked up and found that Fang Jun had already walked away surrounded by Bu Qu...

Xu Jingzong suddenly became furious, angry and anxious.

Mother!

The richer the people, the stingier they are, right?

Just a hundred strings, is it interesting to drag it out day by day?

He stood on tiptoe and shouted at Fang Jun's back: "One hundred guan! Fang's consort still owes me one hundred guan. When will he pay back the money?"

In the distance, Fang Jun jumped up on his horse, whipped his whip, and the horse galloped away with four hooves.

Didn't even reply... (End of chapter)
