Yanlouchun

Chapter 12 You can work hard
"Master Commander, if you were me, would you let this kind of thing be discovered by others?" Shen Zhiyun asked.

Shao Xi leaned back on the seat, raised one leg, and raised his head slightly, "Maybe you want to leave evidence to make a deal with King Qing in the future."

Shen Zhiyun sneered, "Then where do you think I should hide these things?"

Shao Xi knew what Shen Zhiyun meant, no matter whether he was hiding in the house in Beijing or in the house outside the city, it was all his territory, so of course this evidence came from a wrong source.

But compared with the crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason, it is nothing.

"Shen Cifu, you don't want to talk about the second king, you also secretly investigated the meeting between Gu Hanshu and Xue Zhao, didn't you? There is no light in the investigation." Shao Xi said indifferently.

"The commander just forgot why I went to investigate his Gu's family. If someone flies over the eaves and walls of your house in the middle of the night and shoots cold arrows at you, I'm afraid no one can sit still and wait for death." Shen Zhiyun said.

Before Shao Xi opened his mouth, Shen Zhiyun said again, "The man in the middle of the arrow has seen Zhang Peng, and you must have seen it by now, don't you have an estimate of the Xue family's arrow?"

"Although Xue's arrows are used by the general's army, but someone deliberately used Xue's arrows, isn't he so stupid, isn't he afraid of revealing his identity?" Shao Xi asked.

Shen Zhiyun sighed, "It's meant to be a warning."

Shooting arrows without killing people is either framing or warning.

But it's a bit too low-handed to frame it.

"Warning for what?" Shao Xi asked.

"General Xue wants to go to war, of course he doesn't want those of us who advocate mutual markets to hinder his way." Shen Zhiyun said.

Shao Xi crossed his legs and raised his chin, "The cabinet wants to open a mutual market, so naturally it doesn't want Gu Shizi to have a good time."

Shen Zhiyun lowered his head and chuckled, "Maybe some courtiers think that the cabinet can make a lot of money with the order of the exchange market, but if there is a war, Prince Gu, as the minister of discussion, and Gu Hanshu, as the son of Wen Su, only discuss politics but not military power. What benefits will be gained in this war? But General Xue’s faction advocates war, if Gu Hanshu cooperates with Old General Xue, the benefits will be endless.”

"Perhaps Gu Shizi is sincerely serving the people. After thinking about it, I feel that it is in the greatest interest to go to war with Hanhai. After all, who in my prosperous country would not want to take back the land of Hanhai?" Shao Xi said.

"You've said everything, but you can't say for sure. One side is the prince's son, and the other side is the frontier ministers."

"No matter how glamorous Gu Shizi is, no matter how shocking the world is, he is just a young man in his 20s who has been enshrined in an official position. He has only seen real turmoil before." Shao Xi snorted coldly.

"Of course His Majesty thinks so too."

Shen Zhiyun paused, and lowered his voice, "So His Majesty really wants you to interrogate Gu Hanshu? Commander Shao shouldn't pretend to be confused."

Shao Xi narrowed his eyes slightly, His Majesty wanted to confirm Prince Gu's thoughts.

The meeting between Gu Hanshu and Xue Zhao is not about what Gu Hanshu thinks, but what Prince Gu thinks.

Although Shen Zhiyun didn't directly express His Majesty's meaning, he also hinted at the Emperor's intention clearly.

Shao Xi scolded, "Presumptuous."

"Now Shen Zhiyun, you are a prisoner, where do you have the courage to speculate on the holy will!"

Shen Zhiyun shook his head, "It's not trying to figure out the holy will, my lord Commander."

"How can you be sure what General Xue wants to send troops for?" Shen Zhiyun asked.

"As a general, kill the enemy and make meritorious service." Shao Xi said so.

"But General Xue is no ordinary general."

Shen Zhiyun looked at Shao Xi, but Shao Xi said nothing.

When Xue Deming was young, he did not make any military exploits. Now that he is old and his wife and children are in Beijing, if he is really so successful, guarding Hanhai these years, he will not be so quiet.

"Commander Shao."

Even though he was tied to an iron frame and imprisoned in the imperial prison, Shen Zhiyun was neither humble nor overbearing, and did not appear to be in the slightest embarrassment.

"You might as well put me down, we both sit down, and I'll talk to you carefully."

Shen Zhiyun changed the subject of the interrogation with a few words, and Shao Xi could naturally hear Shen Zhiyun changing the subject.

But Shao Xi seemed very interested in what Shen Zhiyun had to say, and ordered people to put Shen Zhiyun down.

"Thank you." Shen Zhiyun clasped his fists.

The jailer brought a chair and a desk next to the two of them, and put some melon seeds and wine on it. It didn't look like an interrogation, but like a dinner party.

"Please." Shao Xi said.

The people from Shen's residence came very quickly, and before Shen Zhiyun was put back in prison for a while, Bai Bian and Yan Nan brought over the bedding and inner clothes. Underwear is cleaner.

Shao Xi acquiesced in Shen Zhiyun's behavior. The evidence of the two of them was true at first glance, but if one looked closely, it was very false. He knew that the two of them would definitely not suffer any crimes in the imperial prison.

Of course he will investigate what should be investigated. If there is no groundless evidence, the two of them must have done some bad deeds.

But although this matter sounds appalling, it is the first-class crime of exterminating the family, but in fact, based on his experience, it is just His Majesty who is furious and trying to make them suffer.

There was no need for him to torture the two of them.

If it is really this first-class appalling crime, it cannot be explained by some simple physical evidence.

Bai Bian spread out the quilt for Shen Zhiyun, and the jailer stood outside, staring straight at him.

Shen Zhiyun sat next to him, and Yan Nan glanced at the jailer calmly, turned his body slightly to block the jailer's sight, and raised three fingers on his chest, which meant that there were still about three days' journey.

Shen Zhiyun nodded imperceptibly.

"That fellow Gu Hanshu slandered me, and it will definitely make it easier for him when I go out." Shen Zhiyun said.

When he mentioned the three words Gu Hanshu, he shook his right wrist with his left hand.

"Now the case between the two of us has been handed over to Commander Shao to investigate. I am not in the mansion these days, and my mother is weak. Don't disturb her."

When talking about Commander Shao, Shen Zhiyun raised his hand and shook his wrist again.

Yan Nan responded, "Young Master, don't worry."

Bai Bian tidied up his things and said, "Don't worry, my lord, Lan Yu is watching in the mansion. Aunt Jiang has been deprived of her power of housekeeper by the lord these days, but she is in a hurry. The eldest girl has been procrastinating before not wanting to get married, but now Seeing that my own mother has lost power, I didn't think about how to help Aunt Jiang, but instead got angry, and blamed her mother for not giving her the status of a noble daughter."

Under Shao Xi's order, the jailer allowed people from Shen's residence to deliver things to Shen Zhiyun, but he still had to keep an eye on him so as not to make any mistakes.

Right now his sight is blocked, he can only listen to Bai Bian with his ears up.

Bai Bian's voice was carefree, and what he was talking about was the secret of Shen's residence, the jailer's attention was all on Bai Bian's words.

Shen Zhiyun crossed his fingers at this moment, raised his eyes and made a mouth shape to Yan Nan, "Check."

Shaking wrists represents the protagonist to be talked about, and crossing fingers represents the relationship between the two.

The connection means that Gu Hanshu and Shao Xi have a close relationship, so ask Yannan to investigate.

Yan Nan straightened his cuffs, which meant he understood.

Bai Bian was still talking non-stop, "Aunt Jiang has been thinking about how to win the master's heart these days. She saw the master let go of the old love, and the second son is outside with the young master of which family at the market When I moved my hand, the surroundings were full of common people, and the disgraceful thing spread quickly, the lord found out about it, and punished the second son with twenty sticks, and Aunt Jiang's efforts these days are all in vain."

Although the jailer was curious about the secrets of Shen's residence, his line of sight was blocked, and he moved slightly after listening halfway, so that Shen Zhiyun could appear in his line of sight, and Yan Nan didn't intend to block his line of sight any more.

Shen Zhiyun stood up and looked at Bai Bian's work, "Bai Bian, you need to make the bed better, your master, I will stay here for a long time."

Bai Bian lowered his head and said in a muffled voice, "Old Qi just left Beijing, and you made such a mess."

Shen Zhiyun touched his nose when he heard the words, and felt that something was wrong, how could he be taught a lesson by Bai Bian.

He raised his leg and kicked Bai Bian's ass who was squatting on the mattress, "It's against you, I'm in prison, but I'm not dead, dare to speak out against me."

Bai Bian fell to the ground with a crooked body, raised his head and stared at Shen Zhiyun, "You can work hard."

Shen Zhiyun made a gesture and wanted to raise his foot again, but Bai Bian judged the situation, hugged her foot, and interrupted with a smile, "My lord, I will shine your shoes."

"Get out." Shen Zhiyun lifted his leg and threw him away.

"okay."

Bai Bian tidied up the things he brought in again.

Shen Zhiyun walked back and forth twice, and then ordered, "I haven't had time to make arrangements for Jiang Ruyun to be brought into my yard, Bai Bian, let Lan Yu watch carefully."

"Yes, son."

The jailer outside stared for a while, calculated that it was time, and urged, "Master Shen, the Commander said that it is inconvenient for visitors to stay for a long time."

Shen Zhiyun said, "The things have been delivered, you two can go."

Bai Bian and Yan Nan bowed to Shen Zhiyun and bid farewell, when the two came out of the prison, the jailer was about to lock them up.

Shen Zhiyun suddenly said again, "Yannan!"

"Young master." Yan Nan responded outside the prison.

The jailer was holding the iron lock and key, and he listened to Shen Zhiyun's next order.

"Go and take off those four-person flags hanging on the opposite prison."

At this time, Gu Hanshu was taken by Shao Xi for interrogation, but he was not in the prison, and Yan Nan didn't know whose prison it was, who hung the white cloth, but there was a big "" printed on the middle of each of the four white cloths. "Prisoner" word.

Whatever Shen Zhiyun said, Yannan naturally followed suit.

The jailer raised his head and hesitated to speak, he was afraid that Gu Shizi would go back to the prison and make trouble for him.

Shen Zhiyun glanced at the jailer unkindly.

The jailer hurriedly bowed his head and stood aside.

Don't talk, don't listen, don't see.

When the two of them left, Gu Hanshu hadn't come back yet.

The surroundings suddenly fell into silence, Shen Zhiyun sat quietly, and couldn't help but recall what Shao Xi said just now.

"No matter how glamorous Gu Shizi is, no matter how shocking the world is, he is just a young man in his 20s who has been entrusted to an official position. He has only seen real turmoil before."

Yin was granted an official position.

If Gu Hanshu really wanted to be an official, he would not have gone to the academy to study.

Shen Zhiyun thought about Gu Hanshu's limelight back then.

That year Zhongping was hit by floods, and the large city with a population of tens of thousands had been raining for days, and the supplies sent were like flowing water, with no effect.

At that time, the master asked all the students how to solve this problem.

Some people say that there is no solution between human beings and natural disasters, and we can only try our best to reduce losses, even if the national treasury is exhausted, we must save them.

The wife said nothing.

Some people retort that ministers, especially courtiers in Beijing and China, are the hub of affairs for tens of millions of officials in the world, and they are in charge of the livelihood of all people in the world. Continue to invest, let the people in other places live, how can such a big country operate?

The wife said nothing.

All the students had just entered the academy not long ago, and what they thought and said at that time were too immature.

At this time, the imperial court also tried many plans, changing methods to block them, and changing methods to reduce them, but none of them worked.

When Gu Hanshu opened his mouth, everyone in the room was shocked.

"Blow up the embankment."

The whole room was silent, and a moment later, a student sneered and was about to speak.

Gu Hanshu went on to say, "The lower reaches of Zhongping are the five villages of Sanghe River. The combined population of the five villages is less than one-third of that of Zhongping. It is easy to evacuate the population in advance, and then blow up the embankment to divert the flood into the village. Five villages can solve the problem of Zhongping."

The students were silent for a moment, and then someone said, "Absurd! Zhongping is a natural disaster. If you cause such disasters and floods, the floods in the five villages are man-made. Even if the villagers are resettled in advance, the floods will spread. What should the downstream fields do? How do farmers live?"

"That is, when the time comes, the whole world will say that the imperial court in Beijing only knows how to protect Zhongping and the big city, and regards the livelihood of people in small villages and counties as floating dust, which will chill the hearts of all people in the world."

Gu Hanshu also said, "Instead of exhausting all the power of the country and being unable to save the people, it is better to use the money to appease the villagers after the embankment is blown up. The fields can be compensated with money, and the people's names can be compensated with what. If this matter drags on for a day, it will be one more day." The Japanese people suffer."

Many people still retorted, "Radical! Your method is too risky. If the flood is uncontrollable after the embankment is blown up, who will bear the risk of the embankment blowing up?"

The master didn't say anything, and Gu Hanshu didn't explain.

At that time, Shen Zhiyun said silently in his heart that this plan is feasible.

Some of the students went back and told his father about it, and the official raised the case at court the next day.

The emperor asked Qi Shenming how he was doing.

Elder Qi replied at the time, "This plan is feasible."

When Shen Pingshan returned home that day, he asked Shen Zhiyun to ask, "Is this what Gu Hanshu thought of himself or Prince Gu told him?"

Before Shen Zhiyun could reply, Shen Pingshan said again, "I'm confused, how could it be that Prince Gu thought of it, if he thought of this method, he would have gone to remonstrate with His Majesty long ago."

Shen Pingshan probably really felt that this method was very good, and he didn't give Shen Zhiyun a say at all.

"The Gu family's son is really rare and intelligent. At this age, he has such courage and courage before he reaches the top. He will surely be immeasurable in the future."

At that time, Shen Zhiyun had already recognized Qi Shenming as his teacher.

Elder Qi also praised again and again, "Young son of the Gu family, you can look forward to it."

Her teacher seldom praises others, and the word "hopeful" is enough to show her affirmation of Gu Hanshu.

"If he's not Prince Gu's legitimate son, I really want to recognize him as my student."

Shen Zhiyun didn't understand what Elder Qi meant at that time.
