The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 141

The chief minister was assassinated?

Xie Shen couldn't help being stunned.

He had a fairly good impression of Xue Ju, the right chief envoy, and Mr. Xue had always been interested in culture and education, so he was kind to scholars.

Of course Xie Shen was angry about this.

Apart from anger, Xie Shen felt more doubts.

The chief envoy is considered a top figure in this province, except for the governor, the governor, the inspector censor, and the guarding eunuch, the four chief envoys are completely worthy of anyone.So who wants to assassinate Xue Ju?Isn't this person afraid that the investigation will implicate him?You must know that if Mr. Xue really wants to use resources to track down, he will definitely be able to track down the results.It's impossible for the person behind the scenes not to have considered this point, so he is sure of success once?
Besides, the chief envoy's yamen is heavily guarded, and Xue Ju lived in seclusion after the case of the salt transport envoy Lu Zhongjing, very low-key.

Under such circumstances, how could Xue Ju be assassinated?
Could it be that this assassin is really like the one in the TV series, who can jump over the walls, enter and leave the chief executive's office as if he was in an uninhabited land?
Xie Shenwu was in a daze, but Lu Yuan coughed and said, "Why, even you think this is weird?"

Other than Xie Shen and Wang Shouwen present, none of them were outsiders.That's why Lu Yuan did not hesitate to tell the two about Xue Ju's assassination.

Xie Shen pondered for a moment, then clasped his hands and replied, "Lord Lu, I think this matter may involve a lot of involvement, so it's better to investigate secretly."

It is not unreasonable for Xie Shen to say that.

The governor's yamen is heavily guarded, and it is very difficult for ordinary people to sneak into the yamen, let alone come and go freely.

If the assassin didn't have a good understanding of the terrain of the chief envoy's office and Mr. Xue's routine, how could he happen to appear at a specific time and a specific place.

It is certain that there is an inner ghost, and the identity of this inner ghost is definitely not ordinary.

Could it be that Mr. Xue offended someone?Or did Master Xue know too much, making some big shots uneasy?Otherwise, why would anyone want to put him to death?
A series of questions made Xie Shen a little confused, but the basic logic would not be messed up after a moment of silence.

Lu Yuan's face was a bit strange, but he still suppressed his temper and said: "You mean, someone from each department wants to assassinate Mr. Xue?"

"It's just a possibility."

Xie Shen noticed that Lu Yuan's face was not looking good, so he changed his tone and said in a deep voice.

Isn't Master Lu's reaction too big?Xie Shen just threw out a reasonable hypothesis, and Lu Yuan's face was gloomy. There must be some quarrel between Lord Lu and Lord Xue.

Reminiscent of the change in Lu Yuan's attitude before and after Lu Zhongjing's case, Xie Shen took it seriously.

"This old man will investigate this matter with all his strength. It is a serious matter and you two must not talk nonsense to the outside world!"

Of course, this kind of obscure official affairs should not be talked about to the outside world, even if Lu Yuan didn't mention Xie Shen, he knew it well.

"Lord Lu, don't worry, the two of us will definitely not talk nonsense."

Realizing that something was wrong, Xie Shen naturally didn't want to ask more questions.

This is the rule in the officialdom, don't ask more about things you shouldn't ask.What's more, he and Lu Yuan haven't gotten close to each other yet.

The two bid farewell to Lu Yuan, and went out of the Yamen of the Chasi together.After this incident, Xie Shen didn't have any intention of swimming in the lake, so he went back to the inn where he was staying with Wang Shouwen.

A few days later, three days before the West Lake Gathering, the news of the assassin's capture suddenly came. Now the assassin is being held in the Yamen of the Chancellor's Office, and will be interrogated jointly by the chief envoy Xue Juxue and the deputy envoy Lu Yuan.

The assassination of a provincial chief envoy received too much attention, and it soon overwhelmed the upcoming West Lake Gathering and Oiran Meeting.Xie Shen didn't take it seriously, but Mr. Zhang was a little frustrated when Zhang didn't return.

He didn't want to use Yaji to make a name for himself, but he just wanted to vent his anger.

But now it seems that although the Gathering can be held as scheduled, it seems that the influence will be greatly dispersed by the assassination of the right chief envoy.

Alas, this is life.

Of course, this matter can also be viewed from another angle, that is, it can avoid being discussed on the cusp of the storm.

On this day, Young Master Zhang invited three or five friends to drink flower wine together, and Xie Shen was naturally one of the invitees planned by Zhang Bugui.But the young man politely declined, it's not that Xie Shen doesn't eat the fireworks of the world, but he really wants to distinguish between priorities.He came to Hangzhou this time to promote Yaojiang tea. As for gaining prestige, traveling with the United States is just incidental.

But here Xie Shen and Wang Shouwen went to Su Causeway together and drank tea by themselves in the gazebo by the lake.

The tea is naturally Yaojiang tea, but it has been packaged.

"The autumn wind repairs and intoxicates the south of the Yangtze River, and we share a load of tea on the stove."

Xie Shen took a sip of the brewed Yaojiang tea, and said calmly.

Many pedestrians stopped to watch, and those who had good deeds would gather around.

"This son wrote a good poem, I wonder if someone can sit down and talk about it?"

Xie Shen raised his eyes, and saw a young man in a royal blue satin jacket standing in front of him, with a smile on his face.

Even Xie Shen, who has seen the world, couldn't help but be shocked by this man's appearance.

I saw that this person had a pair of peach blossom eyes, fair complexion and slender figure, just like Pan An.
"What's the name of this young man?"

"My surname is Chang, and the single character is Luo. I don't know how to call it?"

"So it's Xiongxiongtai, my surname is Xie, it's polite here."

The two introduced themselves to each other, and Xie Shen invited Mr. Chang Luochang to the table.

"The two poems that Mr. Xie sang just now are very suitable for the occasion. Chang wants to ask for advice."

This Chang Luo is only sixteen or seventeen years old, but he looks like a mature young man.

Xie Shen smiled lightly and said, "No hurry, Mr. Chang might as well try this righteous master first."

After Xie Shen finished speaking, he brewed a cup of Yaojiang tea for Chang Luo, Shi Shiran said.

"Thank you!"

Chang Luo took the teacup and took a sip. He felt a fresh fragrance go straight to his heart, and he couldn't help admiring: "Tea is good, poetry is even better! This poetry and tea complement each other. In my opinion, it is even better than that of Qiantang Longjing. No less."

Xie Shen was overjoyed, he was waiting for these words.

You must know that West Lake is a symbol of Hangzhou. Because it has soaked in too much history and culture, West Lake is also a place where scholars rush to visit.

The sons who appear in this kind of place are all scholars who are eager to learn and seek the righteous way, at least on the surface.

Reciting poems by the West Lake to attract attention became part of Xie Shen's plan.

Of course he knows that Fireworks and Willow Lane is easier to become famous, but that also depends on what kind of fame it is.

An elegant thing like tea naturally needs to be famous in an elegant way, and it would be inferior to being associated with a singer.
