One by one, people went to the place where the prizes were drawn.
Someone touched a dime and looked very distressed.
Someone drew a rooster and said that he wanted to raise it to lay eggs. Song Jing felt that this person should go to see a doctor.
There were also people who drew a 100 coin membership card on the second floor of the Heavenly World and ran away like crazy.
Song Jing was watching from the beginning and did not want to participate.
Just as more than 30 people drew the prizes, there were sounds of discussion around.
"Did you see that official? I heard that he is a minister and is not willing to help the people at all. "
"Lower your voice. That is the minister of the Ministry of Justice. If the people have someone to help them, how can the Ministry of Justice harm them?"
"What is the Ministry of Justice doing?"
"If you are guilty, you are guilty. The most annoying thing is the people who help the people in the lawsuit."
"Oh ~ ~ no wonder."
Song Jing's face became more and more ugly. Was the Ministry of Justice an ordinary case? Only the death penalty would be reviewed by the Ministry of Justice.
What do you people know? When the Ministry of Justice intervened in the case, it was not the problem of the litigator and the broker.
The words around were getting more and more unpleasant, and they were all directed at Song Jing.
Song Jing finally could not bear it anymore. He took out 10 coins and an exchange voucher with the words "pick up money" written on it.
"I will draw one too." He handed over the money and glanced around. Everyone nodded.
Song De took the money and motioned him to reach into the box to draw the note.
Song Jing rolled up her sleeves and reached into the round opening of the box. Her hand touched many folded pieces of paper.
He took out one randomly. He did not care about the prize. He wanted to use practical actions to prove that he supported the lawsuit.
He unfolded the note and read, "A membership card on the third floor of the Heavenly World."
"Wow! He is so lucky. "
"How is it possible? A membership card on the third floor of the Heavenly World costs 1,000 coins. "
"Being an official is different."
"What official is it? The minister of the Ministry of Justice. What does he do? "
"No, I have to go and draw it."
The crowd rushed forward and pushed Song De and the box away.
"Slow down, slow down, line up." Song De shouted.
After a while, everyone quieted down and lined up.
The box … looks like … it's been squeezed to the point that it's a little different from the previous box.
The person in line gave him ten dollars and reached in. He didn't know how to read, so he passed it to Song Jing.
"Ten coins and a bar of soap." Song Jing could not refuse the request of the people, so he read it out loud.
"I've earned an extra bar of soap." The person was happy.
Another person went over to grab it. Song Jing helped him read, "Ten dollars and a bar of soap."
"Ten pieces of fermented bean curd and a bar of soap."
"One dollar."
"Three cents."
"Two bars of soap."
Song Jing continued to recite. Later, Zhao Donglin came and helped him recite.
Everyone began to collect their prizes one after another.
A membership card was handed to Song Jing. He held the membership card and looked at the other recipients. He felt like he was dreaming.
"Minister Song, the four of us also went to touch it once. Look, we're lucky to be with you. Sun Xiao and I each got a bar of soap. Old Six and squinty eyes got ten coins plus soap."
The lackey who spoke earlier came over and showed Song Jing his prize.
"Aiya, why did I get one dollar? Can I do it again? Ah, no. "
"Is this a thank you for participating? I should be able to do it again, right? "
"It's actually a catty of good white flour. Buy two taels of meat and go home to make dumplings."
"I'm also a member of Earthly Paradise, but I'm the second one on the second floor."
The crowd shouted, and the scene was a mess. Song Jing was pushed further and further away.
Coupled with the hot weather, he was sweating all over.
He didn't want to know more about the Li Family Zhuangzi today, so he took the four lackeys back.
On the way back, he didn't say a word. He was stunned by this membership card.
One thousand coins, one thousand coins for a membership card on the third floor of Earthly Paradise.
How many people would not be tempted by one million coins?
When he returned to the palace, he stayed in his office for a while. Seeing that it was noon, he went to the Political Affairs Hall.
He had a good relationship with Yao Chong, but his character was different from Yao Chong. He had a good personal virtue.
Yao Chong betrayed Wei Zhigu because Wei Zhigu didn't agree to his two sons' request and complained about it.
If it was Song Jing, Song Jing would directly drive his two sons out.
Song Jing was such a person. After he retired, he didn't allow others to use his connections.
He went to the dock today because on his way back, as soon as the ship reached the Yellow River, he began to hear rumors about the Li Family Zhuangzi.
Moreover, the Li Family Zhuangzi's exchange coupons were used there. Many merchants were willing to buy at a premium.
The closer he got to Chang 'an, the more rumors he heard about the Li Family.
When he arrived at the palace and was given the title of Minister of Justice, all the administrative staff would mention the Li Family Zhuangzi when they chatted.
Even Bi Goo, Yao Chong, Zhang Shuo, and the others talked about it.
As for His Majesty's private army, the Winged Knights, some of them were in Songzhou, most of them were in the Forbidden Park, and the rest were in the Li Family Zhuangzi.
How powerful was that? Even the Prime Minister didn't favor him.
Song Jing was more cautious. He didn't directly tell Li Longji that he shouldn't do this.
He wanted to see for himself and understand the situation.
He discovered that the Prime Minister and the various ministers had to limit their views of Li Yi, but they couldn't do anything about it.
Song Jing arrived at the Political Affairs Hall with complicated feelings. When he entered, he found Bi Goo and Wei Zhigu arguing.
"1.8 million taels, that's enough. You're still asking me for money? Where do I have the money?" Bi Goo shouted.
"1.8 million taels was the Ministry of Revenue's income in January and February. It's now June, four months later. How much money has the Ministry of Revenue earned?"
Wei Zhigu didn't budge at all. As he spoke, he looked at the three Prime Ministers, especially Yao Chong. His meaning was, "You tricked me, so now speak up for me."
Song Jing entered and looked around. "How much money has the Ministry of Revenue earned?"
"What do you mean by earned? The Ministry of Revenue only earns money by selling noodles. Right now, it's considered normal taxation. "Bi Goo glared at Song Jing. Why are you interfering?
Song Jing didn't want to go against Bi Goo. He reached into his sleeve and pinched the Earthly Paradise membership card.
"Today, I went to the Ba Shui Pier. The pier uses the rails. The Li Family Zhuangzi's farmers are just as you say. They don't care about officials."
Song Jing was still depressed. He was the grand Minister of Justice, yet he was ignored just like that.
"Did you say your identity?" Bi Goo didn't shout anymore. His voice was gentle.
"Naturally, I said my identity." Song Jing nodded.
"The Li Family Zhuangzi didn't give you any benefits? The Ministry of Justice said so. "
Wei Zhigu spoke. At the same time, he took out a membership card from the third floor of the Earthly Paradise.
Everyone took out their cards, including Bi Goo.
Yao Chong returned to his office. He looked around and found his card in the hall where the tea leaves were placed.
There were a total of five people, and each of them had a membership card.
Song Jing's mouth was slightly open. He took out the card from his sleeve and placed it gently on the table.
"I knew it. Since you revealed your identity, I promised to give you benefits. Guangping, didn't you not accept gifts? Didn't you judge people based on their talents? How did you get your card? "
Bi Goo laughed. He also didn't accept gifts. Then, he also got his own membership card.
"I didn't accept any gifts. I spent ten coins to draw a prize. At that time, many people were drawing prizes."
Song Jing felt wronged. He argued that he got it by luck.
"Huaishen, did you see that? You always said that Xiao Yi was good. Now, her methods are getting better and better. She doesn't even need to write anymore. Hahaha ~ ~ ~ "
Wei Zhigu said to Lu Huaishen and laughed.
"Luck, luck. It's Guangping's good luck." Lu Huaishen held back his laughter and looked at Song Jing.
