After Shen Yi met Gao Ming in the imperial city, he immediately returned home to wait for news.

At this moment, Xu Fu's four partners in Jiankang had all arrived at Shen's house, and were waiting for Shen Yi's news together with Shen Yi.

That night, Shen Yi waited in his study until late at night. He slept on the desk for an hour or two until the early hours of the morning, and then continued to wait for news.

After waiting until morning, two people finally brought Xu Fu back on a stretcher.

At this moment, Xu Fu had changed from the prison clothes to ordinary clothes. The wounds on his body were also simply bandaged and treated, but he was still in a coma and did not wake up.

Standing at the door of his house, Shen Yi looked at Xu Fu whose body was almost covered with scars, and felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

He still underestimated the brutality of political struggle.

It took only half a day for Xu Fu to become like this. If he was delayed for a few more days, he might be gone.

What's even more frightening is that there is no reason for this kind of thing.

If Xu Fu was just an ordinary businessman, he might have died quietly in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. No one would know, and no one would come forward to criticize the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Shen Yi was silent for a long time before turning his head to look at Ding Man and the others, with a hoarse voice: "Bring Xiao Xu in."

Xu Fu had a very high prestige among these partners, and seeing him like this now, everyone's eyes were red, and Xu Xiaomei, who was the youngest among them, couldn't stop crying.

With the help of several people, everyone quickly carried Xu Fu into the wing room of Shen's house. At this moment, the sleepy Xu Fu finally woke up. He opened his eyes reluctantly, and glanced at Shen Yi: "Mr. ...Young master..."

Shen Yi was sitting by his bed right now, seeing that he had woken up, he quickly turned around and said to Qing'er behind him: "Go...bring a bowl of warm water over here!"

There were bloodstains on Xu Fu's body, he must have suffered a lot of flesh and blood, and bleeding may be inevitable.

People who lose blood will feel very thirsty.

As soon as Shen Yi finished speaking, Xu Xiaomei wiped her tears and went down to fetch water for Xu Fu.

She brought warm water, and used a spoon to feed Xu Fu to drink it bit by bit. When the bowl of water was finished, Xu Fu still looked at Shen Yi, and tried to speak: "My lord..."

Shen Yi said slowly: "I am..."

"He... they asked me, sir... son, are you the owner of Huangshizhai?"

Xu Fu said with difficulty: "I... I didn't speak, and they started to do it."

He looked at Shen Yi.

"Young master... I didn't say anything."

Hearing this, Shen Yi fully understood what the people from the Ministry of Punishment were going to do with Xu Fu.

The Di Baodi once published the "advertisement" of Huangshizhai, and the publication of this advertisement was not long after Xu Fu took over Huangshizhai. The people in the Ministry of Punishment, or that Fan Shilang, just wanted to get Shen Yi to be Huangshizhai. Based on the evidence of the Zhaidong family, it is logical to sue Shen Yi for using the public to seek personal gain.

It's such a simple thing.

Originally, there were so many experts in the interrogation department of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, young people like Xu Fu, if they were caught, they would be able to bluff anything as long as they bluffed and frightened them.

Fan Shilang originally had the same idea.

According to his thinking, after getting the evidence from Xu Fu, he will let Xu Fu go back, and he will not really punish him as a young boy.

Unexpectedly, after Xu Fu was brought to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, as long as he was asked about Shen Yi, he would close his eyes and simply not say a word.

No matter how you ask, you don't open your mouth.

That's why he annoyed the veteran interrogators of the Ministry of Punishment, and he suffered this flesh and blood.

It wasn't until he passed out from the pain that he couldn't bear it, and those people were afraid of killing people, so they stopped.

Shen Yi sat by his bed, feeling a little touched in his heart.

"Xiao Xu...you don't have to defend me like this. Even if you tell about Huangshizhai, it's a big deal that I'm not working in the newspaper department anymore."

Shen Yi felt his nose a little sour: "You, you are so stubborn."

Even if things about Huangshizhai were leaked out, Shen Yi would at most be accused of using power for personal gain.

However, the Mansion Reporting Department is directly under the Emperor, and even if something goes wrong with Shen Yi, it will be handled by the Emperor. The fact that Huangshizhai is Shen Yi's shop is not unknown to the palace. Unemployed, he is in the heart of a certain person, and it is estimated that he will be reactivated after a few months of suspension.

Xu Fu on the bed glanced at the few companions around the bed, then looked at Shen Yi, and forced a smile: "If there is no young master, the few of us...maybe we will freeze to death some winter..."

He wanted to continue talking, but Shen Yi patted his hand to signal him not to speak.

"Your injury is not serious, lie on the bed and rest first, don't talk anymore, I will ask Dr. Sun to come over and show you later."

Shen Yi sighed softly: "In the past few days, you have been staying at my house, so don't go to other places."

Xu Fu lay on the bed, and grunted in pain: "My lord...how about Huangshizhai?"

"Isn't there a shopkeeper over there, you just rest at ease."

Shen Yi stood up from the bed, glanced at everyone in the room, and said, "Okay, let's all leave too."

Xu Fu on the bed still had his eyes open, and he said, "My lord, I want Ding Man to go to Huangshizhai to watch..."

He took a breath, and his voice was a little low: "It's also good to learn something from shopkeeper Wu."

Shen Yi knew that he was worried about shopkeeper Wu, an outsider, and wanted to find someone to watch over.

This is not surprising.

Xu Fu and the others came from the poorest beggars. When they started food stalls, they kept the marinade recipes as their treasures, and they were unwilling to hire a clerk. Now that there is a money-making shop like Huangshizhai, he naturally Don't worry about outsiders.

Shen Yi didn't agree immediately, but turned his head to look at Ding Man who was standing beside the bed, and asked, "Do you dare to go?"

What happened to Xu Fu happened in Huangshizhai, these little guys will inevitably feel a little timid about Huangshizhai.

Ding Man nodded immediately, and said without hesitation: "I will go if the boss tells me to go!"

Royal Palace.

Today is the day of the court meeting. After the court meeting was over, His Majesty came to the Ganlu Hall with a yawn. After flipping through the documents handed over on the imperial table, the little emperor glanced at Gao Ming and said lightly: "I heard that you went to the palace yesterday. The Ministry of Justice?"

Gao Ming immediately bowed his head and said: "Return to Your Majesty, I did go to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice last night, and I am going to report this to Your Majesty."

The emperor gave a "hmm" and said, "Go ahead."

Eunuch Gao lowered his head and told the story from beginning to end, then bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the incident happened in a hurry, and Xu Fu is a special person. I am afraid that the news will leak to Kunde Palace..."

"In desperation, the maidservant went to the Ministry of Punishments to deal with this matter..."

The little emperor looked at Gao Ming thoughtfully, then shook his head slightly: "What's the difference between you going and me going?"

Without further ado, Gao Ming knelt down on the ground, kowtowed and said: "My servant was about to talk about this matter. Last night, my servant was in a hurry and never thought of this level. I asked myself to guard the mausoleum of the late emperor, Your Majesty, please allow me..."

He kowtowed respectfully, with his forehead on the ground.

What Eunuch Gao meant was to let the emperor treat him as an abandoned son, let the emperor have a clean relationship with him, so that the relationship with Xu Fu can be cleared, and there will be no relationship with Gu Hengbo.

As the chief eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Gao Ming's power cannot be called insignificant. It's hard to say how sincere his words are.

Maybe it's a way to retreat.

Of course, because the leak of this matter might annoy the Empress Dowager Sun, threaten Gao Ming's status and even his life, so last night, he might have been really anxious.

The little emperor sat in his seat and didn't speak for a long time.

After a long time, he smiled dumbly: "Forget it, the matter is not so serious, you also wrote my consideration, so that's all..."

He looked at Gao Ming and said calmly: "Go and make a kiss with Xu Fu, then what happened last night will be reasonable."

Eunuch Gao knelt on the ground, touched the ground with his head, and thanked the emperor for his kindness.

The little emperor reached out and knocked on the table, and continued: "Also, go and find out what the Ministry of Punishment is doing... What do you want to do?"
