marquis of jingan

Chapter 484
In this world, everyone is an independent individual.

In other words, everyone is the only protagonist in their own world.

No one will really be completely attached to another person wholeheartedly and become someone else's vassal.

That sentence of loyalty is because there are not enough bargaining chips for betrayal. Although it is a bit mean, it can sometimes explain human nature.

Shen Yi never regarded Xu Fu as his vassal, and he didn't even regard him as his subordinate. As for whether Xu Fu belonged to Eunuch Gao, or belonged to the emperor, or he was in his own school, in fact, for Shen Yi, There is not much difference.

As long as he doesn't make things difficult for Shen Yi, the two of them can still be in a cooperative relationship.

Xu Fu sat opposite Shen Yi, still lowered his head slightly, and said, "Young master, what Eunuch Gao means is that when you go south again, let me go south with you to manage a sum of money for the court."

To put it bluntly, it is to manage the money for the court, to put it more bluntly, it is to manage the money for the emperor, or...

The emperor made a kind of venture capital investment in Xu Fu.

Of course, because the state artifact is in hand, the emperor's venture capital does not have any risks at all. If he really loses money, Xu Fu himself will bear these risks...

Shen Yi said with a "huh" and said with a smile: "Seeing that the Chinese New Year is only a month away, I will definitely not leave Jiankang again before the year, so let's go south hand in hand next spring."

Xu Fu nodded first, then lowered his head and asked, "Young master, when you returned to Jiankang last time, you mentioned to me that you want everyone...to be suspended for a while, so next spring, I want to bring everyone together. Go south to do business."

It has to be said that Xu Fu is a very smart person.

Some things, if Shen Yi mentioned him a few words, he would be able to infer other things from one instance to another very well.

For example, if Shen Yi asked him to fake Gu Hengbo's death, he could combine this matter with the matter of going south.

After all, Mrs. Gu is famous in Jiankang Qinhuai River, and there are quite a few people who know her in Jiankang City. If she dies in Jiankang for no reason, people who are interested may see that something is wrong.

But if Xu Yuanwai went south with his concubine from the income family to do business, everyone, Gu, could not adapt to the environment in the south, and his beauty was unlucky, and he died of a sudden illness in the south...

This kind of thing sounds a lot more reasonable.

Moreover, not many people in the south recognized Gu Hengbo, so this kind of suspended animation would be much easier to do.

Shen Yi glanced at him approvingly, and said with a smile: "Then do this, have you asked Eunuch Gao about this?"

Xu Fu nodded: "I've asked. After hearing this, Eunuch Gao didn't say much, he just said that he doesn't interfere in my private affairs..."

It is impossible for a senior eunuch like Gao Ming to express his position clearly on such a sensitive matter.

He didn't object, just acquiesced.

"Then you just do it."

Shen Yi lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and suddenly remembered something, he glanced at Xu Fu, and asked, "Did Eunuch Gao say anything else?"

Xu Fu lowered his head slightly: "I didn't say anything else, just a few words of advice, saying that you should not be in debt when doing business, and that you should get closer to Du Huai and Eunuch Du when you arrive in the south..."

Shen Yi smiled: "Didn't I let you stare at me?"

Officer Xu quickly stood up, bowed his head and said, "Xu Fu dare not..."

"Should be stared at or must be stared at."

Shen Yi smiled and said: "After all, when you got to the place, you were not staring at me, but at the Anti-Japanese Army."

"Xiao Xu, remember what I said..."

Xu Fu took a deep breath, lowered his head, and said, "My lord orders."

"This trip to the south, you can do whatever Eunuch Gao asks you to do. Don't hesitate or think about me. You must do it beautifully."

Xu Fu thought for a while, then slowly raised his head: "Young Master, you mean that Eunuch Gao is testing me?"

In the anti-Japanese army, there is no lack of eyeliner for internal guards. That is to say, if Gao Ming wants to know the movements of Shen Yi and the anti-Japanese army, he doesn't need to go through Xu Fu.

Master Shen narrowed his eyes and chuckled: "I didn't say anything."

After speaking, he stood up and said lightly: "Today, you stay at my house for an extra hour or two, and then go after supper."

Xu Fu bowed his head respectfully: "Yes..."

………………

The next morning, after Shen Yi got up, he first took a look at the child in the cradle, and then began to put on his coat.

He is no longer the secretary of the Di Bao Si, so he doesn't have to go to the Di Bao Si to work. As for the Hanlin Academy, Shen Yi hasn't been there a few times, let alone go.

As for the Ministry of War where he took office, he is now in the state of being on an imperial mission, and the imperial mission has not yet ended, so he is not in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of War, and he does not have to go to work in the Ministry of War.

The current Master Shen seems to have been given a long annual leave, and he can spend time with his wife and children at home.

But today he has something to go out with.

When eating supper with Xu Fu last night, Shen Yi saw the letter that Li Mu asked him to bring back on his desk, and then he remembered that the imperial envoy who was still in Fujian asked him to bring back a copy of the newspaper. The letter from Ping'an's home, the traveling all the way, and the fact that he had a son in his arms after returning, he almost forgot all about it.

After changing into clean clothes, Shen Yi didn't ride a horse or take a car, but wandered around Jiankang City alone, and walked slowly to the main gate of the Jiankang Mansion Yamen. After giving his name, he waited for about a stick of incense. , He was invited into the government office by the yamen's yamen.

After entering the government office, the office servant led the way, and not long after, he brought Shen Yi to the door of a public house, and then knocked on the door to make an announcement.

In the public room, a thick middle-aged voice soon came.

"Come in."

The clerk bowed his hands to Shen Yi, turned around and left, while Shen Yi pushed the door and walked in. When he came to this Jiankang Yin, he bowed and saluted politely: "Your officer Shen Yi, I have seen the prince."

I haven't seen you for a while. Prince Jin seems to be a little thinner than the last time we met, and you can see some depressions on his face. He looked up at Shen Yi, then stood up, and asked, "Master Shen is here to deliver a letter to my son. stop?"

Shen Yi nodded, took out Li Mu's letter from his arms, handed it to Prince Jin with both hands, and said with some embarrassment: "I should have sent it to the prince on the day I returned to Jiankang, but the second day after returning home , the wife of the family gave birth, and the subordinate officials were so engrossed in the wife and child that they completely forgot the letter from the son, until they saw this letter last night, and they did not remember it. "

"My lord, please forgive me."

Prince Jin took the letter from Shen Yi, he didn't open it directly, but put the letter on his desk, then looked back at Shen Yi, and asked, "I heard that my son was injured in Wenzhou Mansion. ..."

"Yes."

Shen Yi replied honestly: "The prince fought bravely with the Japanese pirates outside Yueqing City, Wenzhou Prefecture, and was hacked by the Japanese pirates. Fortunately, no bones were injured, and he is now recovering."

"He still refuses to tell."

Prince Jin lowered his eyebrows, and there was no emotion in his tone: "At the beginning, I didn't want him to go. He has given...you a lot of blame for Mr. Shen and offended many people along the way."

Here Prince Jin wants to say that he will be a spearman for His Majesty.

But after all, he didn't say it directly.

After he finished speaking, before Shen Yi could speak, he looked at Shen Yi.

"I heard from Muer that Master Shen is resourceful and resourceful. I wonder if there is any way for Muer to return to Jiankang as soon as possible?"
