In the next few days, Shen Yi went to work at the Di newspaper office on time every day.
Everything was going as usual until one day, a piece of material about the frontline war was sent to the Di News Department and Shen Yi was asked to "beautify" it.
This material is probably a battle report sent by the Huaihe Navy to Jiankang. It states that the imperial imperial army and the Huaihe Navy fought bravely on the front line, suffering 4,000 casualties and annihilating more than 6,000 enemies.
This result is actually a big victory.
But since it was meant to beautify, Shen Yi could naturally understand that this battle report was very watery.
After carefully reading the battle report, Shen Si sat in his seat and pondered for a long time. Then he got up and left the Di Reporting Department and went to Dongshi Street.
After arriving at Dongshi Street, Shen Yi wandered around for a while, then went to the Pentagon Lane of Dongshi Street and found Xu Fu in Huangshi Zhai.
At this moment, Xu Fu was receiving guests with Shopkeeper Wu. When he saw Shen Yi walking in, he and Shopkeeper Wu agreed, then followed Shen Yi out of Huangshizhai and talked outside.
After all, there are so many people in the store that it’s not convenient to talk.
After walking to a remote place outside, Xu Fu looked at Shen Yi with a smile on his face: "Sir, since the publication of the Di newspaper, Huang Shizhai's business has been much better than before."
Having said this, he paused, and then said with emotion: "Until now, I don't know what the young master meant when he said that you can only make a small amount of money by doing food. This business in the study..."
Having said this, he looked around cautiously and did not say any more.
Obviously... a lot of money.
This is not surprising, after all, the people who really have the spending power in this era are those scholars and those who are officials.
Shen Yi smiled slightly and said: "This is not a lot of money. The businesses that can really make a lot of money are those businesses that only you can do but others cannot."
Shen Yi is talking about monopoly.
In this era, if you want to do monopoly business, you can only empower it through the government. Shen Yi currently has no way to do this kind of business.
Xu Fu took a deep breath and said, "Later, I will send Huang Shizhai's accounts to the young master."
"Need not."
Shen Yi shook his head and said, "I'm not here to get accounts from you today. At the beginning of this year, when we came from Jiangdu, we brought a young man with us. If I remember correctly, his surname should be Jiang. Where is this young man?"
This young man named Jiang is Tian Boping's son.
Xu Fu thought for a while, and then said: "I should be helping the third child, and the young master is looking for him?"
"Um…"
Shen Yi nodded and said, "I have something to do with him."
"That's it, after you meet him, ask him to come to my house to find me later today."
Xu Fu nodded quickly.
Shen Yi patted Xu Fu on the shoulder, turned around with a smile, and left. After walking around the Pen Holder Alley for a few times and buying some gadgets, Shen Yi went straight to Zhao's house and met Mr. Lu in the guest room in the backyard of Zhao's house. .
It was not yet evening, and Zhao Shilang had not come back at the critical moment when he was taking over the household department. Master Lu was reading and drinking tea here alone, which was quite leisurely.
Shen Yi stepped forward, bowed his head to Master Lu and said, "Teacher."
Lu Anshi raised his head and glanced at him, then pointed to the opposite side of him: "Sit down and talk."
After Shen Yi sat down, he glanced at Shen Yi and said, "Aren't you working at the Di Reporting Department? Why did you get off work so early?"
Shen Yi chuckled: "The student didn't go this afternoon."
Master Lu was startled for a moment, and then smiled dumbly: "I remember when I was a teacher and was just a Jinshi, and was ordered to observe the government in Liubu, I would go out to the Liubu Yamen before dawn every day. I wish I could stay there twelve hours a day. I just feel It’s so fresh, so good for you, it’s only been a few days, and you’ve already neglected your duty.”
"I went there in the morning and saw something that I found very interesting, so I came over to discuss it with my mentor."
Having said this, Shen Yi reached out to pour Master Lu a cup of tea and said with a smile: "Don't worry, master, the disciple of the Di Reporting Department has finished his errands."
Mr. Lu picked up the tea and took a sip. He looked up at Shen Yi and said slowly.
"That's what you say."
Master Lu smiled and said: "We are engaged, we will soon be a family, and we can talk about anything."
Shen Yi sat up straight, and the smile on his face faded a little. He looked at Lu Anshi quietly and said slowly: "Do you still remember Chen Qingyi, mentor?"
Master Lu frowned: "Remember, what happened?"
Shen Yi sat upright, exhaled a breath of filthy air, and said: "I remember that when I was trapped in the prison, I almost died in Jiangdu Prison. If my mentor hadn't saved me, my soul would have died long ago."
"When he was in the Jiangdu County Government Prison, the disciple told his mentor that the only way the disciple could escape was by putting the blame on Qian Tong. Later, it turned out to be the case. Those families gave up on Qian Tong and put Chen Qingyu's The blame is all placed on Qian Tong."
"And Fan Dongcheng and the Fan family are safe and sound."
Shen Yi lowered his eyebrows and said, "At that time in the county prison, the disciple told his mentor that the remaining three people would definitely not be able to escape the punishment of heaven."
After hearing these words, Master Lu's expression finally changed slightly. He looked up at Shen Yi and slowly put down the tea cup in his hand.
"What does Ziheng mean?"
Shen Yi smiled: "The previous disciple was framed by Fan Dongcheng when he was taking the county examination in Jiangdu. Master Zhao got angry at that time, so Fan Shilang personally went back to Jiangdu to calm the matter."
"At that time, Shilang Fan personally sent a letter to his teacher's desk in order to appease his teacher's anger. Later, his teacher forwarded the letter to his disciple."
Shen Sizheng lowered his eyebrows and said, "This letter has been kept very well by this disciple."
At that time, the "servant" of the Fan family accidentally killed a family member, so the head of the Fan family approached the then Jiangdu magistrate to settle the matter. This letter is the correspondence between the Fan family and the magistrate.
Master Lu sat silently in his seat. He looked at Shen Yi and said, "Zi Heng, are you too impatient?"
Shen Yi bowed his head respectfully: "Teacher, this matter should not be so urgent, and the disciples would not rush to deal with it, but now the Fan family has made a mistake, and His Majesty is also in trouble. As long as there is enough evidence, it is very likely that it can be done. Get this done.”
The Fan family is a civil servant, but they are connected with the Zhao clan.
This itself is taboo.
The emperor has no way to deal with the Zhao clan for the time being, but if he can't take care of the Zhao clan, he can't take care of the Fan family?
As long as there is a good enough reason.
It just so happened that Shen Sizheng now had direct authority to Tianting, and he could provide the emperor with a reason to clean up the Fan family.
Lu Anshi sat opposite Shen Yi and reminded: "That letter is just a small handle on the Fan family. The Fan family can pass it off to the family servants. Maybe even Mr. Fan can't be touched, let alone Fan You."
"and…"
Lu Anshi said solemnly: "If you use that letter, you will be completely broken."
"We have already completely broken our skin."
Shen Yi lowered his eyebrows and said, "What my mentor said is that the letter will probably not be able to touch the Fan family, but this is definitely not the only evil thing the Fan family has done over the years."
tomato
"The disciple feels that this is a rare opportunity."
Shen Sizheng bowed his head respectfully and said: "As long as there is a quarrel, even if you can't bring down Minister Fan, you can at least end his career."
If the Fan family in Jiangdu commits a serious crime, Minister Fan will definitely be implicated.
The mild case may be demoted, and the serious case may be dismissed.
Shen Yi looked at Lu Anshi and said, "Teacher, this disciple wants to do this."
"Teacher, please allow me."
Lu Anshi looked at Shen Yi sitting opposite him and sighed: "You are still young, you don't have to be in such a hurry..."
"Teacher, if you miss this opportunity, I don't know how long I have to wait for the next opportunity."
Shen Qilang's eyes were bright: "Do we have to wait until the disciple's official rank is higher than that of Fan Shilang?"
Master Lu finally nodded silently.
He looked at Shen Yi and said, "Don't be impatient about this matter. Wait until your uncle Zhao comes back and discuss it with him."
Shen Yi smiled and nodded.
"Teacher, I think Master Zhao will probably agree. Last time he had already found someone to recruit Fan Shilang, and he had already broken his skin..."
