The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 236 Shaking and Taking Back the Blame

After weighing the pros and cons, Xie Shen decided to agree to Yuanwai Ning and Eunuch Liu to cooperate.

Although Jane is good in the emperor's heart, the emperor has to remember the good side.

If the boss, Emperor Hongzhi, disliked Xie Shen as soon as he came up, then his official career would be over.

Yuan Ning is naturally so happy. As a middleman, he will also benefit from cotton planting.

The two went straight to guarding the eunuch's mansion after a light meal.

The idea of ​​planting cotton on tidal flats was proposed by Xie Shen, so his opinion is very important.How to cooperate and what form to take largely depends on Xie Shen's opinion.

From the outside, there is not much difference between guarding the eunuch's mansion and other dignitaries' mansions.

Xie Shen and Yuanwai Ning entered the mansion through the side gate together, and went straight to the back garden under the guidance of the gate officer.

Of course, this was for Xie Shen's sake of reputation. If people saw Zhejiang Xinke Xie Yuan and great salt merchant Ning Yi entering Eunuch Liu's mansion together, it would definitely cause an uproar in the Jiangnan literary world.

After the two came to the back garden, the gate official said with a smile: "My master is boxing, you two may have to wait for a while."

After he finished speaking, he retreated wisely.

Xie Shenqi said: "This eunuch Liu still likes to punch?"

Ning Yi stroked his beard and said, "What's so strange about this, it's nothing more than strengthening your body. It's not that the old man said you, your body is too weak, you should practice more."

Xie Shen smiled coyly and said: "Wan Sheng doesn't have much time to be obsessed with career development on weekdays, but now there is still half a year before Chun Wei, so I can find time to learn Wuqinxi. Playing on weekdays will not delay my studies."

The two walked forward together, and they saw Eunuch Liu punching.

Xie Shen stood still very politely and watched Liu Wen complete the whole set of punches.

In some miscellaneous records of unofficial history, eunuchs are often associated with mysterious martial arts, which is more vividly reflected in later literature.

However, Xie Shen didn't think that Liu Wen was also a big insider, the most he played was fitness-oriented boxing.

Eunuch Liu breathed out, turned around and said, "Mr. Ning, is there any improvement in our family's boxing just now?"

Ning Yi laughed and said, "Mr. Liu's boxing skills are getting more and more proficient, and I am ashamed of myself!"

The eunuch also liked to hear compliments, so he held Ning Yi's arm with a smile and said, "If Member Ning likes it, our family can teach you."

Although Eunuch Liu hadn't raised his orchid finger yet, Xie Shen already felt a chill, if he hadn't thought about getting a reliable explanation for this trip, he would have left in a hurry.

"Xie Jieyuan is here too? Okay, okay. Let's talk in the room!" A gleam flashed in Liu Wen's eyes, and he walked towards the study first.

The three of them entered the study room and sat down for the host and guest. Eunuch Liu coughed and said, "It's really a joy to Xie Xie Yuanxiang to win the laurel. If it wasn't for the wind and cold a few days ago, our family would also like to go to the Luming Banquet to give Xie Xie Yuandao a happy feast." Woolen cloth."

Xie Shen bowed his hands to thank him, but he said in his heart that it was a good thing you didn't come, otherwise the Luming banquet celebrated by scholars would be ruined.

It's not that he has prejudice against eunuchs, it's because the circles of the two have almost no intersection.

Meeting and getting along in private is of course another matter, but Xie Shen really can't do it if he wants to chat and laugh with a guarding eunuch at a scene of literati celebration like Luming Banquet.

Since he wants to hang out in the civil service circle, Xie Shen can't be too egotistical.

The two parties each said some scenes, then Liu Wen no longer concealed it, and said in a deep voice: "Member Ning must have already told Xie Xieyuan about the matter, but Xie Xieyuan still has doubts?"

Xie Shen calmed down a bit, and said loudly, "Does Mr. Liu have any experience with this method of cooperation?"

Liu Wen twisted his fingers and said: "Our family doesn't want to take care of this, it's all up to Xie Jieyuan to handle it, but there is an ugly saying that our family said earlier, it is impossible for our family to leave any evidence for Xie Jieyuan."

Xie Shen nodded.

This was within his expectation. First of all, the imperial court or the emperor asked Liu Wen to contact Xie Shen in his own name because he planned to throw the blame away.

And eunuch Liu is naturally not stupid, he must have considered the issue of self-protection in case of accidents.

If you want to protect yourself, you can't leave any evidence.The cooperation between the two parties depends entirely on self-consciousness and tacit understanding, which is naturally good for both parties.

Taking a step back, eunuch Liu is the one who took the blame for the emperor, and if something really happens in the future, the emperor will not do anything to eunuch Liu as long as there is no proof.And Xie Shen naturally preserved his reputation, at most he would lose some money.

This is something that is beneficial to both parties, and Xie Shen has no reason to refuse.

"As it should be."

Xie Shen paused for a moment, and continued: "It's just that the boy is just a district candidate, and this coastal prefecture needs to be informed by Mr. Liu."

As Eunuch Liu's status as guarding eunuch, as long as he greets the parents and officials in the coastal states and counties in advance, everything will be easy to handle.

Moreover, Eunuch Liu only needs to bring a message, and there is no need to leave any paper evidence.

Xie Shen originally thought that Eunuch Liu would agree immediately, but who would have thought that this one shook his head and said: "Our family cannot agree to Xie Jieyuan!"

If he had to maintain the image of a Confucian scholar, Xie Shen would immediately jump up and scold his mother.

Cooperation requires the sincerity of cooperation. Liu Wen's evasion like this may not be necessary to continue the discussion.

Ning Yi seemed to see the embarrassment in the atmosphere, coughed and said, "Leave this matter to the old man, it's really inappropriate for Mr. Liu to come forward."

Xie Shen was a little clouded for a while.

Member Ning went outside to talk?What's the use of Ning going outside to talk?

Although Ning Yuanwai has a lot of money, he is a pawn in the officialdom.Is it necessary to spend money to make these state and county parents nod?

But after thinking about it carefully, Xie Shen understood what Eunuch Liu meant. Liu Wen probably wanted Ning Yuanwai to be the middleman, so that he could leave this matter aside.

After all, even if Liu Wen didn't leave evidence, if the person he sent out was guarding the eunuch's mansion, he would always feel uneasy.

The status of guarding eunuch is too special, he is almost the eyes and ears of the emperor. Once he encounters a stunned young man like Hai Rui, he will make things out of hand, and the reputation of the emperor may be damaged.

Eunuch Liu considered the worst possibility.

But what is Ning Wai planning?He was willing to run errands for eunuch Liu to take risks, not just for a small profit, right?

Could it be that eunuch Liu and Yuanwai Ning have some kind of cooperation secretly, or that eunuch Liu promised to give Yuanwai Ning some benefits?
Of course, Xie Shen shouldn't be in charge of these things, and he doesn't need to.

It doesn't matter if Eunuch Liu goes to say hello, or Ning Yuanwai goes to lobby, as long as he is not asked to come forward.

The next thing is the most important thing, divided.

Xie Shen took a deep breath and said, "How does Mr. Liu think the profit will be distributed?"

Eunuch Liu said with a smirk, "It's very simple, you and Mr. Ning each get [-]%, and our family gets [-]%."
