above the galaxy

Chapter 523, It’s time to sleep!
Kang dang
The door was nearly broken open.

The loud noise here startled Mei Yuyin who was preparing to rest upstairs. She is a master of opera and usually pays great attention to health preservation and protection of her voice.

Drink a glass of honey water every night and go to bed early at eight or nine o'clock.

Mei Yuyin put on a black blanket over her pajamas and ran downstairs, asking anxiously, "What happened? Why is there such a loud noise?"

Sheng Xinhuai saw his mother's condition and rushed over to comfort her, "Mom, it's okay. Go upstairs and go to bed."

Mei Yuyin had always been an extremely respectable person in her heart, except when she was urged to get married or forced to quit drinking.

She didn't want her mother to appear in this state.

Sheng Jing also advised: "Yuyin, go upstairs and have a rest. It won't be a problem."

Sheng Jing is a conservative and upright person, but he dotes on his wife the most.

He is a few years older than Mei Yuyin and has always taken care of her like a younger sister.

Mei Yuyin grew up in a wealthy family. After graduating from the Conservatory of Music, she entered her favorite career in drama. She soon became famous and successful, and was sought after by thousands of people. She never encountered any setbacks in her life.

Can't stand the test.

Seeing a large number of soldiers rushing into the mansion, Mei Yuyin asked in a trembling voice: "Old Sheng, what happened?"

She knew that as the Chancellor of the Shengjing Empire, no one would dare to break into the yard wearing weapons and armor unless there was a major incident.

"Some misunderstandings." Sheng Jing looked calm, and even managed a rare smile on his face: "It's all right once we talk it out."

"I also hope it's a misunderstanding." Sun Shehu, wearing a pair of sunglasses, walked in with a smile, looked at Sheng Jing and said, "You come here so late, are you disturbing the Minister of Finance's rest?"

"I'm sorry to bother you." Sheng Jing looked at Sun Shehu and nodded expressionlessly.

"I have no choice. I have to obey the orders from my superiors. I am willing to go through any danger. Please bear with me, Lord Finance Minister."

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Sheng Jing urged impatiently.

Regardless of whether they were right or wrong, these people broke into a private house late at night and disturbed their own wife. That was their fault.
The young officer behind Sun Shehu drew out the long sword from his waist with a 'clang' sound and shouted angrily: "Mr. Sun, why are you talking so much nonsense with them? Just chop them up and be done with it."

"Shen Lewu" Sun Shehu spoke up to stop him, saying, "You are not allowed to be rude to the Minister of Finance."

"Disrespectful? I'm going to kill someone." Shen Lewu didn't listen to Sun Shehu's advice at all, and there was a murderous intent in his eyes: "They killed my eldest brother, and I still have to respect them? Say they did a great job?"

Sun Shehu looked at Sheng Jing with an embarrassed look on his face and explained, "This is Shen Lewu. Shen Lewen's brother Lewen died in a strange way, so he has a bad temper."

Sheng Kuang snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "His brother is dead, what does it have to do with our Sheng family? If you want to vent your anger, go to your own family, don't yell at us. Do you think all the men in our Sheng family are dead?"

After saying that, he picked up the wine gourd and gulped down a big gulp.

Very casual and disdainful.

"Shengkuang, others are afraid of you, but I am not." Shen Lewu knew that Shengkuang was a junior master, so he pointed his long sword at Shengkuang and said, "Do you think I dare not kill you?"

"Come on." Sheng Kuang patted his neck and said, "Cut here."

"you"

"General Lewu." Sun Shehu reached out and grabbed Shen Lewu, saying, "Can you let me talk to the Minister of Finance first? The Minister of Finance just said that this was a misunderstanding. Let's hear their explanation first?"

Shen Lewu couldn't completely ignore Sun Shehu's face. After all, he was the master's confidant. If he showed any disrespect to Sun Shehu in front of the master, he would suffer no good consequences.

He sheathed his knife angrily and said harshly, "I want to hear how they argue."

Yes, when the identities of Tang Fei and Lu Siyu were exposed, the Shen family reacted immediately.

Whether it was Shen Lewen being poisoned in the club's box or Shen Leyou being attacked by a killer in Fengming Palace, it was all done by Tang Fei and Lu Siyu.

The Lu family is the descendant of the ancestor of machinery. Changing faces, dressing up, or sneaking into the system to change identity information is all commonplace for them.

Needless to say, Tang Fei is the youngest grandmaster
Only if he sniped Shen Leyou could he kill him with one strike.

Moreover, Xuanyuan Mingjing would ring the bell to rescue them only when they were intercepted by the Grand Master Zhong Daoling.

After confirming through eye contact, they are the ones who deserve to die.

Therefore, Shen Lewu couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.

Not only did he kill his eldest brother, but he also provoked numerous internal conflicts within the Shen family.

Shouldn't such people be killed?
This time he brought many of his trusted followers with him to kill people and confiscate their property.

Only old bastards like Sun Shehu always like to talk.

Just chop it off and be done with it, what else is there to talk about?

Sun Shehu walked straight to the tea table and sat down. He poured himself a cup of tea and drank it all in one gulp. Then he said with great satisfaction, "I've been busy most of the night and my throat is so dry that it's smoking. I want to borrow Lord Caixiang's tea to moisten my throat."

Shen Lewu didn't sit down.

He stood behind Sun Shehu and Shengkuang, and kept looking at the back of Shengkuang's neck, as if he was wondering where to strike with the knife.

Sheng Jing sat down opposite him again, boiled water to make tea again, and said, "Mr. Sun, please go ahead."

Sheng Xinhuai pulled Mei Yuyin's arm, and the mother and daughter walked upstairs.

"Xin Huai, what's going on? Why did the Shen family come to our house?"

"I'll talk to you upstairs." Sheng Xinhuai was also extremely anxious.

She really wanted to help Tang Fei, but if helping Tang Fei implicated her parents and family
She also felt very uncomfortable.

Sun Shehu drank another cup of tea, then looked up at Sheng Jing and said with a smile: "The Minister of Finance just said it was a misunderstanding. Where do you think it is a misunderstanding?"

Sheng Jing lowered his head to make tea, his movements smooth and flowing: "Mr. Sun, please tell me why you are here."

Sun Shehu also knew that it was unrealistic to ask people to bow their heads and confess their guilt without him explaining the reason.

As the old saying goes, if you confess, you will be treated leniently, but if you are in prison, you will spend the rest of your life in prison.

Resist strictly and go home for the New Year.

It is simply a fantasy to expect these people in high positions to confess on their own.

Sun Shehu squinted his eyes and looked at the grand scene, then went straight to the point and asked, "Does the Minister of Finance recognize the bandit Tang?"

Sheng Jing raised his head and said angrily: "How can I not recognize you? I would recognize you even if you turned into ashes."

"Oh?" Sun Shehu looked at Sheng Jing thoughtfully. Why was he so sceptical? "Is he dissatisfied with the financial aspect?"

"More than just dissatisfaction, I wish I could grind this bastard to dust."

Sun Shehu adjusted the frame of his glasses on his nose and asked curiously, "Why is this?"

After a moment of silence, Sheng Jing poured tea into Sun Shehu's cup and said, "Originally, family disgrace should not be made public, but since Mr. Sun asked, I will tell you the truth. In any case, please help me keep it a secret."

"It's natural."

"I have a daughter named Xin Huai."

"I also know the name of Miss Sheng," Sun Shehu replied.

More than knowing, it was like thunder in my ears.

It is said that she is a heavy drinker and a womanizer, drinking every day and cannot be happy without alcohol.

After drinking, she would indulge in male beauty, and any good-looking man would become her lover.

Wasn't she caught by the security agents some time ago when she invited a rock singer home to have sex?
However, now everyone thinks that the rock singer is Tang Fei in disguise.
Because when Tang Fei and Lu Siyu left, M3's rock singers Chen Zhuo and Hua He also disappeared.

Because this woman is the daughter of a wealthy man, she is extremely beautiful and has been praised by flower lovers as "beautiful beyond charm, fragrant beyond fragrance".
It's hard not to know. "Because she was spoiled too much since she was young, she has developed a spoiled and willful personality." Sheng Jing looked embarrassed and said, "I don't know when she started to get close to Tang Fei, and they are even talking about marriage."

"My daughter is not young anymore. When she falls in love, we as parents naturally have to control her."

"Her mother treated him as her half son, and invited him to her home during festivals and often made soup for him to nourish his body."

"I didn't expect this man to have such evil intentions. Not only did he conceal his identity as Tang Li's son, he also deceived my daughter's feelings."

"."

Sun Shehu knew that Sheng Jing was acting.

But in my heart I felt that there was some truth in what he said.

The bandit Tang was very close to the Sheng family, and it was well known that he was in love with Sheng's only daughter.

Mei Yuyin even treated them as half-sons and invited the two brothers of the Tang family to her home for dinner from time to time.
I didn't expect this guy to cheat on food, drink, feelings, and sex.

When Tang Bandit's identity was exposed, he rounded up the Zhong royal family and fled to their old home.

Sheng didn't even say hello.
Isn't it just left here?
Moreover, the military minister has more information about the Tang bandits.

While Tang Fei is in love with Sheng Xinhuai, the daughter of the Sheng family, he is also in a close relationship with Zhong Yuxiuxue, the princess of the Zhong family.
When Sheng Jing said he wanted to grind him to ashes, Sun Shehu could fully understand and accept it.

But is this really the truth?
"Tell me, should I kill him?" Sheng Jing looked at Sun Shehu with a serious expression and said, "If you find any trace of him, please let us know."

"Mr. Minister of Finance, on the night Shen Leyou was killed, it was Bandit Tang. We have confirmed that the killer was Bandit Tang in disguise."

"The entire Fengming Palace was surrounded by people, and only your vehicle was able to enter and exit freely. Were you really not the one who took him out?"

boom!
Sheng Jing slammed the teapot on the tea table and said angrily, "Who do you think I am? He bullied and humiliated me so much. If I knew his identity, I would have handed him over to the military minister on the spot. How could I help him escape?"

"Besides, if I help him, what good will it do to our Sheng family? They can escape to their old land to live, but the Sheng family has been rooted in Xinxing for a hundred years."

"Besides, I, Sheng Jing, can gain the trust of the military minister and entrust the country's finances to me. What can that kid bring to me?"

"If there is not enough benefit, how dangerous will I put the Sheng family?"

Sun Shehu nodded repeatedly in his heart.

This is indeed the truth.

The wealthy and powerful families all put profit first.

Without interests, how can they keep their family standing for hundreds of years?

Although the Sheng family is not among the nine major families, it is not much weaker than them.

Besides, it is precisely because they are not among the nine major families that they have the opportunity to control the empire's purse.

No matter which family becomes emperor, it is impossible for them to hand over the empire's finances to the nine families.
That's too dangerous.

It will also encourage some unnecessary ambitions.

What can the Tang bandits give them?

To put it bluntly, even if the Tang bandits succeed in seizing power in the future, what can they give to the Sheng family?
Unless he married the daughter of the Sheng family, then the Sheng family would become the Phoenix Nest clan.

But, even so.
Sheng Jing is afraid that he will never have the chance to control the empire's purse.

"One more question." Sun Shehu was a little confused and hesitant: "Ms. Sheng and the rock singer Chen Zhuo have a close relationship. Director Guo Nu of the Security Bureau saw it with his own eyes."

Guo Nu has become increasingly powerful recently, and has become arrogant and domineering, and quite disrespectful to him.

Stab him first.

"Now Tang Fei and Lu Siyu have disappeared, and Chen Zhuo and Lu Siyu have also disappeared without a trace. Does Miss Sheng know the true identity of the singer?"

"Is Tang Fei the rock singer?"

"Yes." Sun Shehu nodded.

"Is there any evidence?"

"."

What evidence can this be?

Tang Fei ran away and Chen Zhuo disappeared. Where can they find evidence?
"To be honest with you, Mr. Sun, I'm also asking people to look for Chen Zhuo." As if afraid that Sheng Xinhuai upstairs might hear, he lowered his voice and whispered, "If Mr. Sun finds him, please be sure to let me know."

"."

Sun Shehu took Shen Lewu and his tiger guards away.

Shen Lewu looked unwilling and said, "Mr. Sun, are we just leaving like this?"

"What else can we do?" Sun Shehu asked expressionlessly.

"Let's throw all these people from the Sheng family into jail and torture them. I don't believe they will not confess." Shen Lewu said angrily.

"What reason?"

"They aided the tyrants and colluded with traitors."

"Where's the evidence?" Sun Shehu sighed softly and said, "The Sheng family is not an ordinary family, and Sheng Jing is one of the three ministers of the empire and the Minister of Finance."

"In the absence of evidence, it is not impossible to arrest and torture. However, that requires the consent of the military minister."

"Moreover, if you really do this, you must also be prepared for the financial collapse of the empire."

"Dare he?"

"At a critical moment of life and death, what can you not dare to do?"

"."

Sun Shehu left.

Those soldiers who were as ferocious as wolves and tigers also left.

Mei Yuyin and Sheng went downstairs again with mother and daughter in mind. Mei Yuyin asked, "Old Sheng, are you okay?"

"It's okay." Sheng Jing comforted him, "It's all solved, don't worry."

"Are you really okay?" Sheng Xinhuai obviously didn't believe it.

She knew how serious the matter was.

If she helped ordinary people, with the power of the Sheng family, perhaps the higher-ups would turn a blind eye.

But, that person is Tang Fei.

How could Shen let this go?

Sheng Jing glanced at his daughter, and seeing the nervousness and worry in her eyes, his heart softened, and he smiled and said, "Why? Even your own father doesn't believe it?"

"Letter." Sheng Xinhuai said, "That's it."

"If I say it's okay, then it's okay." Sheng Jing said in a firm voice.

"."

Mei Yuyin sighed softly and said, "Little Tangren is quite nice, but hey, we've already slept together, so there's nothing much to say."

"."
