"What did you say? Yao Di is here?"
In the study room of Shen Mansion, Shen Han looked at Shen Hong who returned dejectedly with a gloomy face.
Shen Hong looked aggrieved and said: "Master, this is all Tang Shunzhi's fault! I saw that he accepted the gift list, and I thought he would help you for your sake. Who knows that he agreed on the surface, but actually found Yao somehow? Di came here to ruin the good things in our house!"
At this time, Shen Xuan, who was sitting next to him, said: "Tang Shunzhi has no enmity with us, so why would he ruin my family's good fortune? Does he know..."
He didn't say the word [Japanese pirate], but everyone here had already guessed what he wanted to say.
Shen Hong quickly said: "Second Young Master, it's impossible. Indeed, the government caught a few fake Japanese, but those people didn't know it was our arrangement!"
Suddenly, he remembered something and said: "By the way, Master, Second Young Master, I heard something in Huzhou. It is said that Tang Shunzhi invited Xu He to visit Huzhou. Somehow, Xu He seemed to be misunderstood by the people in Taihu Water Village. I hit him by mistake and was caught!"
"Xu He?"
"Bright voice?"
Hearing this name, the Shen family's father and son frowned in unison.
"Why is this Xu He everywhere?" Shen Han's face became even more gloomy.
Shen Xuan said quickly: "Is there anything wrong with Liangsheng?"
Shen Hong shook his head: "I heard that he was rescued later, but the specific news is not very clear."
Suddenly, a cold light flashed in Shen Han's eyes and he said, "You said he was captured by Liang Qiao from Taihu Water Village? Was he taken to the water village?"
Shen Hong shook his head and said, "I don't know about this. I heard it from someone in the government office accidentally."
"Idiot! Don't you want to inquire about such an important matter?" Shen Han scolded Shen Hong, and then said, "Go, send someone to Huzhou now to find out more about this matter! Get out!"
When housekeeper Shen Hong stumbled out of the study.
Shen Xuan frowned and said, "Dad, you mean, Liangsheng knew about our plan, and then he talked about Mr. Jingchuan?"
Shen Han didn't answer, but picked up a pen and started writing on the case. After a while, he threw the pen on the case, and then replied: "I don't know, we will find out after those Japanese pirates contact us! "
When Shen Xuan heard this, she was very disgusted: "Dad, I think that cooperating with the Japanese pirates is to seek skin from the tiger. If someone catches the evidence, our Shen family will be overthrown immediately!"
Shen Han glanced at his second son and said displeasedly: "Do you think you understand everything now that you have grown up and started to help the government?"
Shen Xuan quickly stood up and bowed: "That's not what I meant!"
Shen Han snorted coldly and said, "Do you feel like your father has fallen into the eyes of money these years?"
Shen Xuan glanced at Shen Han and said nothing.
At this time, Shen Han said: "Then do you think your grandfather knows about the things I did?"
Shen Xuan shook his head: "Grandpa has stopped caring about world affairs a long time ago. He doesn't know and doesn't want to know!"
"Hahaha..." Shen Han suddenly laughed, laughing so hard that tears almost flowed out!
"You said your grandpa didn't know?"
Seeing Shen Han's crazy look, Shen Xuan felt a sense of fear in her heart. What on earth is going on?
My father has always paid great attention to his words and deeds, and he has never exceeded the rules! Can……
Shen Han smiled and almost shed tears, and then he said to Shen Xuan: "Back then, your grandfather was highly trusted by His Majesty in the cabinet, and his power was not as powerful as that of Qin Yan now. Then have you ever thought about why your grandfather Retired from the position of chief minister at the age of sixty?"
Shen Xuan thought to himself: "Isn't grandpa just trying to make room for you?"
When Shen Mo was appointed as the chief minister of the cabinet, Shen Han was the left minister of the Ministry of Rites. Seeing that Kao Man was about to be transferred, there were rumors in the court that the Shen family had an elder and a minister, and in the future the entire court would belong to the Shen family. That's all.
Therefore, Shen Mo took the initiative to abdicate in favor of talents and resigned from the position of chief minister to make room for progress in his son's future.
But when Shen Xuan heard what Shen Han said just now, it seemed that there was something hidden in it?
Shen Han looked at his son and suddenly asked in a low voice: "Zhou Yi, the former magistrate of Yangzhou, how did he die?"
Shen Xuan frowned and said: "Didn't the newspaper say that they were exterminated when they were crossing the river? Zhou Yi was Qin Yan's son. Qin Yan might be afraid that Zhou Yi would come to the capital and shake off something, so he got rid of him on the way. Hidden danger!”
Shen Han glanced at his son indifferently, and then said: "It's not Qin Yan!"
Shen Xuan said in surprise: "Who is that?"
"it's me!"
Shen Xuan felt as if there was a thunder above his head, and his whole body was shocked!
"Dad, you asked someone to do it? Why?"
Shen Han said: "Because Zhou Yiming is Qin Yan's person, but in fact he is mine. No, it should be said that he is the emperor's person!"
"What?" Shen Xuan suddenly stood up from her seat in shock and looked at Shen Han in disbelief.
Shen Han sneered and said, "Now you know why our Majesty allowed your grandfather to serve in an official career, right?"
Shen Xuan looked at Shen Han blankly and said word by word: "You mean, we, our family are actually making money for the emperor?"
A sneer appeared at the corner of Shen Han's lips: "Otherwise, do you think he has spent tens of thousands of dollars cultivating Taoism for so many years without using the court's money? Where did this money come from?"
Shen Xuan shook his head, and suddenly thought of something, and said to Shen Han: "No, in the matter of private salt, since our family is used to making money for him, why would he give the Hailing Xu family a chance?"
Speaking of this, Shen Han suddenly laughed so hard that he was out of breath: "This old guy felt that our Shen family had made a lot of money, and he was worried about leaving everything to us, so he thought about it and wanted to support him. Xu Song got up and challenged our family, but who would have thought, hahaha, who would have thought that in the end Xu Song would not give him any face at all, and directly gave the quota to our family!"
Shen Xuan looked at his father in disbelief. He didn't expect that there was such a secret in this matter.
Shen Han sneered at this time: "Do you think this old guy is heartless? How much money have we helped him earn over the years? I just want to return to the cabinet, but he would rather choose Xu Song, who refuted his face, than me. [One of our own] who makes money for him!"
"This time, we are even more afraid that we will reach out to silk and specially photograph Wang Ji, the godson of that old turtle, to beat us!"
Shen Xuan was frightened hearing these words.
Emperor, my father actually called me "old man". If anyone heard him, this would be the crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan.
Seeing his son's frightened look, Shen Han suddenly felt bored: "So, don't be too serious. After this cabinet incident, I can see clearly that as long as we bear his name, he will only You can beat them, but you can’t do too much to our Shen family!”
"I have no hope, but your eldest brother might still be able to join the cabinet one day!"
"So, do you know what we should do now?"
Shen Xuan shook his head blankly. There was too much information today. His mind was buzzing and he couldn't think of anything at all.
Shen Han said calmly: "I'm just making money for that old guy, just messing around every year, just get over it, but we have to plan for what's next!"
Shen Xuan didn't know what happened next, and didn't dare to ask, but when he left the study, he saw the words his father had just written on the case.
The word Xu He was circled, dotted a lot next to it, and the words "Old thing" and "Not moving yet" were written next to it.
Shen Xuan was shocked. It turned out that her father had murderous intentions towards Xu He just now!
