Chapter 381 Stepping on the Red Line

The old house of Shen Yi mentioned by Zhao Ge refers to Shen Yi's home.

Because getting married in Hanlin requires a lot of ostentation, Shen Yi's wedding was actually held in the Shen family's mansion, that is, the home of his uncle Shen Hui. In comparison, Shen Yi's own house is much smaller.

It is worth mentioning that Shen Zhang is currently looking for an existing house or land, and is planning to buy a big house or build a new one by himself.

Hearing that the thief was in the firewood room of his home, Shen Yi turned his head back without saying a word, told Shen Zhang and his newly married wife that there was an urgent matter, then left the Shen family's mansion with great strides, and went straight to his home.

The small courtyard of Shen Yi's house was also separated from the main house when the family was separated, so the two families were not too far away, and soon Shen Yi returned to his home.

At this moment, although Shen Yi's house was decorated with lights and festoons and hung with red lanterns, it seemed somewhat deserted because no one was at home.

Shen Yi has lived in this house for more than ten years, and he already knows the layout well. After entering the house, he kept walking and walked directly to the door of his firewood house.

This person looks about 30 years old, with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and looks a little wretched.

Shen Yi glanced at him silently, and found that this person looked familiar. After a while, Shen Yi asked slowly: "Are you...the Shen family?"

The man's mouth was strangled by a white cloth, so he could only bark and be speechless.

Shen Yi stepped forward and untied the cloth that was strangling the man's mouth, then took two steps back and looked at him silently.

The man was already tearing up.

He broke down in tears and said: "Seventh Young Master, the villain is the steward of the Shen family, the villain was bewitched by others, and the villain was confused for a while..."

Shen Yi had no expression on his face, and said, "How much money did others give you?"

The man cried: "They said they would give 1000 taels of silver, but they only gave 100 taels first, saying that they would wait for the completion..."

Having said that, he didn't continue talking.

Master Shen was furious, he glanced at this fellow, and said coldly: "Who is looking for you, do you know?"

The man cried, "It's Qiansi from the east of the city..."

"The villain owed him some money last month..."

Hearing this, Shen Yi stopped listening.

He looked at the steward of the Shen residence coldly, and said: "You are from Uncle's family, I have nothing to say to you, let the people from Uncle's side treat you!"

Since it was the rogues in the city who were looking for him, there were actually no traces to follow, let alone any evidence.

But this kind of thing doesn't really need any evidence.

It was nothing more than the Fan family's dog jumping over the wall in a hurry. They couldn't solve the problem, so they wanted to solve the person who raised the problem.

However, murdering an official of the imperial court is tantamount to treason. If they dare to do such a thing, they must be cautious and cautious, and it is basically impossible to catch any cheating feet.

After Shen Yi left the firewood room, he asked Qing'er to find Shen Ling, and Shen Ling arrived quickly. After learning about the situation with Shen Yi, the third son of the Shen family's eyes widened angrily, and he kicked He kicked open the door of the firewood room, then kicked the man in the firewood room hard in the stomach.

"Dog kills!"

Shen Ling trembled angrily, raised his fist and gave the man two more punches, and cursed: "Seventh master of my Shen family, you dare to hurt me, the third master will beat you to death today, you son of a bitch!" No!"

Shen Yi outside the door heard this sentence, and sighed silently: "Third brother, don't beat him to death, or you will leave a story for others. After a lesson, he will be thrown to the county government. His charges..."

"Enough is enough."

Shen Ling in the room didn't know if he heard it, and continued to punch and kick this person.

Shen Yi shook his head, stepped out of his small courtyard, and went to talk to his new wife.

The reason why the steward of the Shen family dared to do something was because there were too many people in the mansion yesterday, and he had a certain status in the Shen family. Find.

If it wasn't for his guilty conscience and his sneaky behavior, it would be difficult for the inner guard to find him.

Besides, at first glance, this person owed Qian Si a gambling debt, and a person who owed a gambling debt could do anything.

…………

After returning to the Shen family's mansion, Shen Yi first went to see his father. At this moment, Lu Ruoxi had already gone back to the room, and only Shen Zhang was drinking tea. Shen Yi walked over and told Shen Zhang not to go out for a few days, and let him Someone wrote a letter to Shen Heng of Ganquan Academy, asking Shen Heng not to go out in the near future.

Shen Zhang frowned, and asked why, Shen Yi told the story about someone wanting to take medicine yesterday, which shocked Shen Zhang into a cold sweat.

After a burst of fright, this middle-aged man with a gentle personality also rarely lost his temper. He stood up, with a dark face, and aggressively went to find trouble with that person.

Seeing Shen Zhang striding away, Shen Yi sighed silently and returned to his room.

At this moment, the new daughter-in-law Lu Ruoxi was sitting by the bed resting.

Seeing Shen Yi push the door in, she stood up and asked, "Master... Husband, what happened?"

Shen Yi sat by the bed, told her about the matter, and then said softly: "Ma'am, don't go out these few days, rest at home, eat and so on, let Qing'er Pinger and the others do it alone." , be on the safe side."

Lu Ruoxi was also frightened and turned pale. She leaned into Shen Yi's arms and said softly: "Husband, is it the Fan family who wants to harm you?"

Shen Yi shook his head.

"It's about killing the two of us."

After saying this, Shen Yi stood up silently, and smiled gently at his wife: "Ma'am, I'm going to write a letter to Jiankang. The Fan family is already at the end of their ropes. I believe it will take a few days for them to cause harm to us." any threat."

Lu Ruoxi also stood up, and said softly, "I'll grind ink for my husband."

"it is good."

The young couple went to the study together. Shen Yi sat on the main seat and spread out the letter paper, while Lu Ruoxi beside him was rubbing ink with plain hands. The atmosphere of the young couple who had just been married for a day has gradually become warmer.

…………

This is not the first time Shen Yi wrote to Jiankang, but the previous few times he wrote to Jiankang, they were all addressed to Zhao Changping, but this time, he wrote to the Di Baosi, and asked the Di Baosi to pass it on to Eunuch Gao .

When Shen Yi's letter arrived in Jiankang, Jiangdu County's two-level memorial was also sent to Jiankang, and the county's two-level memorial clearly stated that the Fan family currently has more than 20 piles. Litigation.

In this memorandum, it is clearly stated that the Fan family has been doing evil in Jiangdu and oppressing the village by relying on the influence of Fan Chu, the former servant of the Ministry of Punishment these years.

Originally, the memorandum of this kind of magistrate might not be able to be sent to the emperor's desk, and would be stopped by the officials in the capital, but one of the two magistrates was the grandson of Zhang Xiang.

Prime Minister Zhang Jing has also been prime minister for more than ten years. His power may not be as powerful as Yang Jingzong, but he is not too small, otherwise the emperor would not have kept him in Jiankang.

At least, there is no problem in sending a memorial letter from the eldest grandson to the emperor's desk.

And just when the memorial was completed and delivered to the emperor's desk, the letter Shen Yi wrote to Gao Ming also appeared on the emperor's desk.

By the time His Majesty finished reading these two documents, it was already late at night, and he casually put the memorial aside, got up and stretched himself.

"Shen Qi really has some skills. He has only been back to Jiangdu for a long time, and he has the ability to have the chief officials at both levels of the county government jointly sign a letter to sue the Fan family."

Eunuch Gao was on the side, lowered his head slightly, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, the Fan family is capable. There was a supervisory censor at the former Yushitai. When he was patrolling Jiangdu as usual, he seemed to have found a case about the Fan family. , As a result, within two days, the supervisory censor was taken back to Jiankang for corruption, and he is still in prison."

"Tsk."

The little emperor clapped his palms and said with emotion: "It's really interesting that the two sides are fighting each other."

"Originally they fought against them, I wouldn't participate, and I didn't bother to participate..."

"only…"

His Majesty the Emperor narrowed his eyes, and said calmly: "It's just that I poisoned the Shuji who I hand-picked, isn't it a little too much?"

He turned his head to look at Gao Ming with a calm expression.

"Isn't Shen Yi surrounded by inner guards? Let these inner guards confirm this."

The emperor paused, and continued: "It's best to find out who did it."

Eunuch Gao bowed his head immediately.

"The slaves obey."
