marquis of jingan

"Eunuch Gao."

Shen Yi couldn't sit still anymore, he stood up straight away, cupped his hands towards Gao Ming, and said, "Eunuch Gao, no one in Jiankang City can do it well, even if you are a lower official. But throwing it over Princess Beiqi..."

"All right…"

Gao Ming frowned, and said helplessly, "Princess Beiqi, that's His Majesty's concubine, my great Chen's concubine."

"Even the imperial concubine didn't bring up this matter as an excuse, but you brought up the old matter again."

Eunuch Gao glanced at Shen Yi: "Besides, if you really don't believe in you, our family won't ask you out to talk in private right now."

"Instead, the guards were sent to your house."

Speaking of this, Eunuch Gao glanced at Shen Yi indifferently: "Sit down and talk."

Shen Yi breathed a sigh of relief, sat down cautiously, and said, "Elder-in-law, this matter must be caused by the people of Qi deliberately framing the subordinate, the subordinate..."

"It's not over."

Eunuch Gao looked calm, and continued: "The inner guards only found a preliminary result, and then the inner guards will continue to investigate. If you, Mr. Shen, really failed the emperor's kindness and did something wrong to the court, the inner guards will continue to investigate. Wei will naturally concoct you."

After speaking, the chief eunuch of the inner court softened his tone: "But if you can take the initiative to come to the palace to find our family, our family still believes in you."

Shen Yi breathed a sigh of relief as if relieved: "Eunuch, these Qi people can quietly deliver things to the gate of the lower official's house in Jiankang City, which shows that they have a lot of people buried, and Eunuch may be able to use this Opportunity, pull out these eyeliners hidden in Jiankang."

Eunuch Gao lowered his head and took a sip of tea, with a calm expression: "Is there any eyeliner from Beiqi in Jiankang City, and how many eyeliners from Beiqi? Blocking people's eyes, these are all internal guards' affairs, so you don't need to worry about it, Master Shen."

"Yes…"

Shen Yi answered yes, and cautiously stopped talking.

Seeing Shen Yi's slightly terrified look, Eunuch Gao frowned unobservably, and then returned to his original state. He looked at Shen Yi and continued, "Don't publicize this matter for the time being. It may happen sooner or later." It will alarm the spies of the people of Qi, and secondly, if it spreads in Jiankang, it may have some bad influence on you."

"It's your own business, it's just that lower officials won't talk nonsense...just..."

Master Shen looked up at Gao Ming, and said in a low voice, "It's just Eunuch Gao, Your Majesty..."

Gao Ming frowned again, and his tone was a little unhappy: "What are you thinking? Your Majesty, our family will definitely sue. The Internal Guard and the Ministry of Internal Affairs are both private servants of the Tian Family. They will not hide anything from His Majesty. .”

Seeing that Gao Ming was a little angry, Shen Yi smiled wryly: "Eunuch Gao, I don't mean that, I just think that this is a trivial matter, don't alarm Your Majesty until it is verified..."

"do not worry."

Gao Ming glanced at Shen Yi, and said calmly: "My emperor is an unborn British lord, as long as you are not found to have colluded with Bei Qi, then His Majesty will not punish you."

"You just go on with your errands with peace of mind."

Shen Yi nodded submissively.

"All right…"

Eunuch Gao got up and put both hands in his sleeves.

Because he was used to bending his head down in the palace, even outside the palace, he would subconsciously bend his waist.

"We still have something to do in the palace, so we won't have dinner with Master Shen."

"You do it yourself."

Shen Yi also stood up and forced a smile: "I'll see off my father-in-law."

"no…"

Gao Ming shook his head and said calmly: "You ministers from the outer court, especially the two Jinshi, have never been willing to be seen to have any relationship with eunuchs. Our family should go on our own, so as not to be seen and ruin you. Master Shen's reputation."

Having said that, Shen Yi still sent him to the door of the private room, and then said with a smile: "Eunuch, it's cold this year, the silver bone charcoal from the lower official's house, let Xu Fu deliver it to Eunuch later Father-in-law is keeping warm in the palace to keep out the cold."

There is no shortage of charcoal or silver bone charcoal in the palace.

With Gao Ming's status in the palace, naturally there is no shortage of charcoal fire.

And Shen Yi sent him a cart of charcoal, not to really send him charcoal to keep out the cold.

The real intention is that silver bone charcoal can almost be regarded as a hard currency in winter, and it is very popular among dignitaries.

Therefore, that load of charcoal can be easily cashed out.

It is said that it is sending charcoal, but it is actually sending money.

Gao Ming stopped and glanced back at Shen Yi: "Forget it, Mr. Shen is better to keep it for himself and use it slowly. Our family is not blessed."

After all, the eunuch, like an old farmer, put his hands in his sleeves, bent slightly and walked to the stairs.

As soon as he reached the stairs, he saw a young man in dark green clothes, walked up to him, held his arm, and helped him down the stairs.

It was Xu Fu.

Master Shen narrowed his eyes and glanced at the pair of "nephew and uncle", then stretched himself, and went back to the private room to sit down.

It's rare to come here, so it's natural to have a meal here.

After returning to the private room and sitting down, Master Shen stretched out his hand to pick up the remaining half cup of tea in front of him, took a sip, and then glanced at the direction where Eunuch Gao was leaving, feeling a little uneasy.

The reason why he was uneasy was not because people from Qi gave him something.

Instead, I was worried about whether my performance just now looked like it.

It is not an easy task to pretend to be flustered in front of a big man in the intelligence community like Gao Ming.

Shen Yi felt that he was already very involved in the drama just now.

While Shen Yi was drinking tea and thinking about something, there was a knock on the door: "Master, it's me."

It's Xu Fu.

Shen Yi put down his teacup and said calmly, "Just come in."

Only then did Xu Fu open the door and walk in. He stood in front of Shen Yi and bent slightly: "For the sake of your reputation, I didn't guide you up. Please forgive me."

Shen Yi smiled dumbly, pointed to the opposite side of himself, and signaled Xu Fu to sit down and talk.

"Why are you always so polite? It's not like I don't know what you're thinking."

Xu Fu sat down cautiously, looked up at Shen Yi, and said, "My lord, I've already made preparations for going south. I know you don't like to sit in a sedan chair. I made a custom-made car and horse dealer in Dongshi Street a few years ago." A carriage, it is said that it can not be bumped when driving, and it will be sent to the Young Master's mansion in two days."

"That's it..."

Shen Yi was a little helpless: "It's fine to send it to my house, but you can take this carriage with you. I can give it a try when we set off after the Lantern Festival."

After speaking, he looked at Xu Fu, and said with a smile: "Your boy is indeed richer now, and his mind is much more delicate than before."

Xu Fu smiled shyly, then lowered his head again, and continued: "Also, the young master asked me to find... no... it was the substitute I found for Mr. Gu, and I have already found it."

"There are three or four points similar to Mr. Gu, and when you sit in the carriage, outsiders should not be able to see it."

"Three or four points..."

Shen Yi was about to ask why there were only three or four points of similarity, and then he suddenly realized that he couldn't help giving Xu Fu a thumbs up.

Three or four points of resemblance is enough, if there is six or seven points, seven or eight points of resemblance, the emperor knows it, or Gao Ming sees it...

Isn't it presumptuous?
After sitting down in business for the past few years, Xu Fu has indeed developed a delicate heart.

Seeing that the teacup in front of Shen Yi was empty, Xu Fu stood up, stretched out his hand and filled Shen Yi with tea, after pouring the tea, he sat back to his original place and continued, "There is one more thing..."

"I said earlier that I wanted to find a new family background for everyone, and the young master also knew that I was a merchant in Jiankang. I didn't know any gentry, and I couldn't find anyone who could keep my mouth shut. This matter..."

"Don't tell me about this."

Shen Yi just took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and looked at Xu Fu with a serious expression.

"This kind of thing needs to be discussed with Eunuch Gao. I won't participate."

Xu Fu realized that he had said something wrong, and quickly bowed his head.

"Yes…"

"I said something wrong... Please forgive me, my lord."

Shen Yi also reached out, put aside the teacup that Gao Ming drank, found a new cup and poured him a cup of tea, with a smile on his face.

"Okay, don't be so nervous, sit down and have a cup of tea."

After Xu Fu was seated, Shen Yi put the teacup in front of him, then stood up, reached out and patted Xu Fu on the shoulder, and said softly: "This trip south, we brothers still have a lot to cooperate with."

"Just take care of each other."
