Seeing guests coming to the house, Wu Decao recognized the two of them, and naturally knew that it was time for him to come forward.
So he led shopkeeper Ji to the side to rest for a while, while Xu He drank tea with Shen Xuan.
After chatting with each other for a while, Xu He said: "Brother Zongqi is here for the salt in the hands of the kitchen workers?"
Shen Xuan waved her hands and said with a smile: "Yes and no!"
"I still believe you when you speak loudly. If you say there is a way to get Lianghuai's private salt, then you can definitely get it; if you say you keep it all for me, then others can't take it away! I'm not in a hurry!" Shen Xuan shook her folding fan and smiled.
Xu Hehehe, he said it nicely, but he still used words to beat his words.
I don't know when, but my relationship with Shen Zongqi has reached a point where I have to mince words when talking.
Xu He looked at him serving tea and drinking water with a graceful and noble attitude, and sighed secretly in his heart.
Maybe the two of them have never really become friends, and the previous harmonious relationship did not involve any interests.
"Since Brother Zongqi believes in me, that's alright. I'll have someone contact you today to find out exactly how to operate it and where to collect the salt and pay for it. You can discuss it confidently. I won't interfere!" Xu He said lightly.
When Shen Xuan heard this, the smile on his face became more sincere: "Liangsheng really doesn't care about this? It's a lot of money to change hands!"
Xu He looked at him, the smile on his face softened a bit and said: "Brother Zongqi, if I really value this benefit, your Shen family cannot replace the Xu family in the official list!"
When Shen Xuan heard this, she was slightly embarrassed, but in the end she laughed loudly and said, "You, my dear brother, I am only teasing you!"
Xu He cupped his hands and smiled: "Brother Zongqi, I'm teasing you too! How could I possibly influence Da Zong's thoughts, haha!"
After the two of them finished speaking, they looked at each other and each took a sip of tea as if they understood each other tacitly.
Shen Xuan looked outside the door at this time and whispered: "Liangsheng, a lot of things have happened in the capital recently. Did Mr. Xiao Shi tell you?"
Xu He's heart moved, but he shook his head and said: "No!"
Shen Xuan was quite surprised and said: "Xiao Shigong didn't say anything about the impeachment of the second assistant?"
When Xu He heard this, he pretended to be suddenly enlightened and said: "You are talking about this matter. You have heard about it, but you don't know much about it!"
Shen Xuan said mysteriously: "Hey, did you know? If the second assistant comes down this time, both the first assistant and the commander of the Jinyiwei will be indispensable!"
When Xu He heard this, he immediately became interested. He knew that the Shen family had their own source of information. Is there any hidden secret in this matter?
Sure enough, with Shen Xuan's narration, the plan against Xia Yangqiu, the second assistant, gradually emerged.
It turned out that just two months ago, the Metropolitan Procuratorate found evidence that Qin Yan's son, Qin Que, had accepted bribes and presented it to Xia Cifu.
Xia Yangqiu felt that this was a good opportunity to attack the chief minister, so he asked the people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate to expand the evidence chain and prepare to impeach Qin Yan and his son in the next time.
But after Qin Que found out about this, he found his father and
What can Qin Yan do? If the evidence is solid, it will definitely be difficult for the emperor to explain. Whether he can keep his position as chief minister will be a question.
The father and the son worked together, so they thought of a solution and cried.
They went to Xia Yangqiu's home to ask for a meeting. Xia Yangqiu also knew their purpose, so he lied about being ill and thanked the guests behind closed doors.
But Qin Yan was the chief assistant, and it was difficult for his disciples to stop him. In addition, Qin Que, the elder of the small pavilion, personally used the money. In the end, the two of them were led to the front yard.
After arriving in the front yard, the two men actually... cried in front of so many servants.
I really cried, I cried so hard that the sun and the moon didn't shine.
The old chief assistant almost couldn't breathe and almost fainted from crying.
Xia Yangqiu, who was listening to the noise in the backyard, finally couldn't pretend to be sick when he heard the servant's report. He could only go to the front yard to comfort the mother-in-law.
Qin's first assistant was unable to teach his son, and Qin Gongzi made it difficult for Uncle Xia to do it one by one.
As a result, Xia Yangqiu finally relented and let the father and son go.
Then, his kindness this time not only failed to make the first assistant and his son grateful, but instead caused him to fall into an even more dangerous whirlpool.
Coincidentally, not long after, Governor Lu, the commander of Jinyi Guards, also had something that fell into Xia Yangqiu's hands.
But Governor Lu's understanding of Xia Cifu was not as profound as that of Qin Shoufu and his son.
Xia Yangqiu was actually a very upright official. He lived with his old wife and daughter in the alleys of Nancheng. His family had no money. When his daughter got married, in order to collect some dowry, he had to ask his disciples and peers to chip in for help. Solved the matter.
Xia Cifu's only hobby in this life is probably the position of chief assistant. The so-called power is a man's aphrodisiac!
But Governor Lu didn't understand. He actually took a five thousand tael silver note and asked to see Xia Cifu.
Now, Xia Yangqiu scolded Lu Yunshen directly in front of him and told him to go home and wait to be fucked.
After this matter reached Qin Yan's ears, Qin Yan knew that his mortal enemy Xia Yangqiu was going to get out.
What happened later was very simple. Xia Cifu was an honest official, but his relatives, friends and students were always corrupt and perverting the law, right?
What does Jin Yiwei do?
With Jin Yiwei's dirty information and the connections of Lord Chief Assistant.
Soon, the whole court was full of rumors about Xia Cifu.
Coupled with the incident that happened to the prince, Xia Cifu completely lost his desire to struggle. He has stopped being a director these days and is hiding at home waiting to retire and return home!
"It turns out there are so many things going on here!" Xu He couldn't help but thought to himself, "If you want to overthrow the cabinet minister, you can't do it just because of the prince's affairs. Political struggle is a systematic project! If you want to defeat your opponent with one move, this It’s basically impossible.”
Thinking of the chief assistant, Xia Yangqiu's failure was due to his soft heart.
Qin Yan is the one in this court who is very good at black characters.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but become more worried about his uncle joining the cabinet this time.
"No!" Xu He suddenly became alarmed, "Shen Xuan can't be so kind and tell me such detailed inside story."
"Then what is his purpose?" Xu He picked up the tea cup and glanced at Shen Xuan calmly.
Unexpectedly, Shen Xuan was just sipping tea and seemed to be just telling a story!
Xu He thought about it and had some guesses about Shen Xuan's purpose.
There have been rumors outside that the Shen family has been moving around the southeast, in fact, to bring Shen Xuan's father Shen Han back.
If this presupposition is substituted into Shen Xuan's behavior today, can we guess...
The real purpose of Shen Xuan's visit today was actually to let her send a message to her uncle.
What the Shen family wants to spread is...Qin Yan in the cabinet is so powerful that your Xu family cannot control it.
Thinking of this, Xu He suddenly turned to look at Shen Xuan and saw him saying with a smile on his face: "Liangsheng, our two families are both in the southeast. In a stall like this, we should support each other, but we can't compete. For a short time, it made outsiders laugh, what do you think?"
