Shen Mansion, Shen Qiaodie's boudoir.
Shen Qianshan took the tea cup handed over by Shen Qiaodie and looked at the night sky. The moon was already in the sky.
"They should be here."
"Qiaodie, dad knows that you have been wronged by going to Huo Mansion to be Shufan's concubine, but there are some things that you have to think about in the longer term."
"After all, Shufan's child is the eldest son and grandson of the Huo family. He will definitely become the head of the Huo family in the future."
"In addition, the child is very knowledgeable. Even if he fails to pass the imperial examination this autumn, with his father's operation in Kyoto over the years, it will not be difficult for him to become an official in the court."
Shen Qiaodie pondered for a moment:
"Father, a prince-in-law cannot be an official."
Shen Qianshan waved his hand, "The rules are like that, but the rules are still alive. The prince-in-law can't take concubines yet, but hasn't Huo Baiyang done it?"
"Shu Fan will inherit the Huo Mansion in the future, so the Prince Consort is also a name."
"I heard that the sixth princess is ugly and disabled. As a father, I thought... with your exquisite mind, you can have a place in Huo Mansion in the future."
Shen Qiaodie nodded, "For the Shen family, it's okay for my daughter to suffer a little injustice."
"What my daughter wants is to ruin Li Chen'an's reputation and die without a burial place!"
A contemptuous sneer appeared in Shen Qianshan's eyes:
"After tonight, even if Li Chenan is not dead, he will have nothing left."
"Jiye,"
"The child is here!"
"Tomorrow, you take a few nurses to the alley of Erjinggou and smash up Li Chenan's tavern! If others are there, they will be smashed together!"
Shen Jiye was overjoyed, "My child obeys!"
"Well, it's getting late. You all should go and have a rest. Father, I'll go back..."
Before the word "fang" could be spoken, Ichigoin suddenly rushed in, "Master, master...!"
Shen Qianshan was overjoyed, with a bright smile on his face, "Well, it seems it's been done."
The guard knelt down in front of Shen Qianshan, his face as pale as paper.
He pointed behind him and said in horror: "Master, our, our grain, granary..."
Shen Qianshan stood up suddenly, "What happened to our granary?"
"Been...burnt!"
Shen Qianshan was shocked and kicked him, and the guard rolled away a foot away.
"Tell me, what happened?!"
"O-Master,"
The nurse crawled and knelt in front of Shen Qianshan again, and said tremblingly: "I'll go and burn down Cai and Cai Zhengyao's granary. Everything goes smoothly."
"After we finished, we were on our way back according to the master's instructions, but unexpectedly, we saw a big fire in the southeast corner too!"
"When Butler Ye took a look, he was worried that our granary was leaking water, so he took the kids and ran to the southeast corner. Sure enough, our granary was leaking water."
"I was waiting to put out the fire, but unexpectedly, a bunch of bandits came out!"
"He, they are extremely cruel!"
"Our people, even Ye, Steward Ye, were killed by them. Xiao Xiao, Xiao Xiao escaped with all his life. Report, report, report to the master!"
Shen Qianshan suddenly felt a pain in his chest and his vision went dark. He fell down and was supported by Shen Qiaodie who ran over.
"Do you know who did this?"
"S-Miss, I don't know!"
Shen Qiaodie's eyes were about to burst into flames, "Brother, help father to rest!"
"sister……"
"I'm going to take a look."
Shen Qiaodie boarded the carriage with a gloomy expression and headed straight to the West Market.
…
…
On the bank of Peach Blossom Creek, there is a wine shop.
The wine shop was brightly lit and lively.
The bought slaves were still busy brewing wine in two shifts. Of course, they didn't know what would happen that night.
Li Chenan, who was sitting in a building outside the wine shop, actually didn't expect what would happen here.
He and Wu Xichen were drinking.
This wine is the new Huapingchun, which is a 45-degree wine.
Wu Xichen's eyes lit up when he compared the paintings of spring and peach blossoms.
"Although I don't know how you did it, I have to admit that this painting of Pingchun is really good!"
"Disciple, everyone in the world will like good things."
"Just like good martial arts secrets or good weapons, they will always be snatched by countless martial arts masters."
"If you want to keep the good things that belong to you...then you must have abilities that ordinary people can't!"
"Is it time for you to practice martial arts?"
Li Chenan grinned, "Master, let's finish this pot of wine and then go practice martial arts."
Wu Xichen couldn't resist the temptation of Hua Pingchun, so he nodded, so Li Chenan filled another bowl for him.
"I have been in contact with Brother Shang a lot these days. In my opinion, Brother Shang really doesn't look like a bad person."
Wu Xichen took a big sip from the wine bowl and said, "Master, I didn't say he was a bad person."
"But just because he's not bad doesn't mean that the Imperial City Division isn't bad!"
"The Imperial City Division... the things they did are much more filthy than the Lijing Division, especially in the eyes of people in the world, the Imperial City Division is simply an enemy!"
Li Chenan was startled, "What did the Imperial City Secretary do?"
"Let me tell you this," Wu Xichen took another sip, put down the wine bowl, lifted up his sleeves and wiped his mouth, "Most of the people recruited by the Imperial City Division are masters of martial arts, but they do the most work. Just eliminate the masters of martial arts!"
"The Imperial City Division is divided into an inner gate and an outer gate. The outer gate's banner is to patrol the gangsters. There are indeed gangsters in the Jianghu, but they often use this as an excuse to attack some innocent martial arts people."
"Maybe it's a personal grudge, or maybe it's a sect grudge. In short, the Imperial City's outer sect likes to use human power to avenge private enemies."
Li Chenan looked at Wu Xichen. It was obvious that Wu Xichen didn't like the Imperial City Secretary very much.
"In order to deal with the indiscriminate killing of innocent people by the Imperial City Division, a new organization was formed in the world, called the White Clothes Alliance... The Imperial City Division is dressed in black, with a red rope hanging from the waist of the outer door and gold thread embroidered on the inner door."
"The White Clothes Alliance is very mysterious. I have only heard that they only wear white clothes, but no one knows who the leader is or the members of the alliance."
"In recent years, many members of the Imperial City Division's outer sect have suffered many casualties while performing missions abroad. It is said that most of them were caused by the White Clothes Alliance."
"What's going on with Old Man Shang? Let's wait for Taohua's reply. In addition... I don't want you to get too close to the Imperial City Secretary, so as not to suffer unreasonable disasters."
Li Chenan understood. The world was indeed deep. With his own abilities, it was better to stay away from him.
At this moment, a shout of murder suddenly came from the outer door.
Li Chenan was startled and looked outside the door.
Wu Xichen was a little annoyed that those damn things were disturbing his drinking.
"Go get a wine gourd tomorrow. From now on, remember to fill the master's wine gourd with wine every day."
He stood up, put on his bamboo hat, and said again: "We need to draw a spring screen!"
He walked out, and Li Chenan also walked out, only to see Wu Xichen soaring into the sky.
