Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 390
The magistrate of Liuzhou glanced at him, and quickly thought of ways to deal with it.Naturally, the young princess of the Shen residence cannot be offended.Even if the Patriarch of the Shen family doesn't like him now, but Shen Li's ability is here, and now he is on the road of Marquis of Jingwu, the prefect of Liuzhou can't help but have a headache, he doesn't know how to choose.

Seeing him in a dilemma, Shen Yue understood a little bit, and sneered, "Father is confused these days, this Liuzhou is the master's decision after all, in the future, father will take care of him, and when I succeed to the position of Patriarch, the master's will be indispensable." benefit."

Seeing the naked money and power transaction in his words, Huang Chenyan frowned slightly and interrupted intentionally, but seeing the reassured expression on the face of Liuzhou prefect after hearing his words, he swallowed the words involuntarily.

With Shen Li's promise, Liuzhou magistrate was full of his own official career and wealth, he would not care about his friendship with the head of the Shen family, so he immediately ordered the government to take them to Shen's residence.

Huang Chenyan looked at Shen Li's indifferent face, and couldn't help but touch him, "Has Liuzhou always been like this?"

Collusion between government and businessmen, if it is in the capital, is already a serious crime of beheading.It stands to reason that the people who suffer from the collusion between government and businessmen are the common people, but Liuzhou is rich and incomparable with other places, and the common people live and work in peace and contentment.Therefore, if she hadn't just heard the words of Shen Yue and the prefect of Liuzhou, she still wouldn't be able to see it.

"It has always been like this. What you see is just the tip of the iceberg. The county magistrate here can be bought for 100 taels of silver, and the officials at the top can buy anything as long as they can afford it." Shen Yue said When he said this, his face was full of sarcasm.

In the past, he didn't feel anything, until he went to the capital this time, and was told by Mr. Shen that he realized the abhorrentness of this approach.It's ridiculous that he thought it was normal before. 100 taels of silver is almost the lifetime income of an ordinary farmer, and it may not be there yet.Shen Li turned to look at Huang Chenyan, "Do you think I'm too disgusting?"

"No." Huang Chenyan shook her head. She went to ask the people in Liuzhou that day, and she mentioned Shen Yue as a good one. Most of the people are probably dead."

She learned about this from the mouths of these people.With the merchant's profit-seeking nature, Shen Yue's approach is really rare.Thinking of the clan elders who disliked him in his clan, it was probably because of this incident that he became dissatisfied with him.

Shen Yue's face was slightly hot, "It's just that the wool came from the sheep. If there were no people from this side, my Shen family would not have been able to get up. Although the family is rich now, these yellow and white things are dead after all, and they are not comparable to others. life."

Speaking of it, he was also concerned about the future of the Shen family, so he made that move.The Shen family has been in business all year round. After Shen's father took charge of the Shen family, he just didn't know how to do business. In order to make up for his shortfall in business, he even worked with the Liuzhou prefect to squeeze the people's fat.If he hadn't been secretly compensating with the income from his own shop all these years, a group of rioters would have gathered around the door of Shen's house long ago.

However, the elders of the clan can't see clearly, they just say that those troublemakers don't need to pay attention.When Shen Yue thought of this, he became agitated.Huang Chenyan saw that his complexion was not good, and swallowed the words involuntarily.

After recovering, the two had already stopped at the gate of the Shen residence.Knowing that it was a distinguished guest from the capital sent by the prefect of Liuzhou, Father Shen hurriedly got up from Mei Jiao'e's bed, grabbed the clothes on the side shelf and put them on, not even wiping off the rouge marks on his face in a hurry. out to meet.As soon as Shen Li stepped into the mansion, he saw Father Shen running out, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, with a sneer on his face just right, "Father."

As if seeing a ghost, Father Shen stopped suddenly, stared at him with wide eyes, and suddenly turned his head to look at the magistrate's office who sent them over, "This is..."

He knew that he was being tricked, but he saw that the other party had already arrived at the door.Although I don't know what method Shen Yue used to make the Liuzhou magistrate turn to help him, but there is no doubt that he has this ability now.When Father Shen thought of what he had done before, he couldn't help trembling all over, and retreated subconsciously.

"The child is not dead, are you disappointed?" Shen Yue said in surprise, approaching him step by step and asked with a smile.

On his way to the capital, assassins kept coming along the way. If he hadn't been lucky, he might have died at this moment.Shen Yue couldn't help laughing when he thought of this man as his own biological father, but he only wanted to take his own life.

Huang Chenyan couldn't help being shocked when he listened to it.This kind of thing has always been a family secret, but for the sake of a few concubines, this is the first time I have met someone who treats his own son like this.As a result, Huang Chenyan looked at Father Shen with disdain.

Xu Shi noticed her gaze, and Shen's father looked over subconsciously, his eyes narrowed immediately, "Son, where did you bring this beauty?"

Such a friend who molested his son in public is really unsightly.The maidservant standing next to Huang Chenyan smiled coldly, took the first step, grabbed Father Shen's outstretched palm, and twisted it hard.

There was a "click", followed by Shen's father's wailing sound, like killing a pig, it made people feel annoyed and flustered.Seeing Huang Chenyan's handmaid make a move, Shen Yue let go of her tightly clenched fists and let out a light breath.

It was the first time that Shen's father was hurt by a woman, his face immediately twisted, he turned his head and waved at the servants of Shen's residence, "Hurry up, arrest them."

Shen Li was the first to stop in front of Huang Chenyan and the others, and looked coldly at the servants of the Shen family who surrounded him, "I don't see who would dare, this is the prostitute of Jingwu Marquis, General Huang. Father, you just uttered wild words to offend Huang. General, it's better to think about how to keep your own head."

Father Shen looked at him in disbelief, never expecting that his son, who was always cowardly on the surface, would suddenly be so arrogant.But in the next second, the housekeeper of Shen's residence leaned close to his ear and explained Huang Chenyan's identity in detail.The words in Father Shen's mouth suddenly froze, his eyes were wide open, and he couldn't utter a single word.

Seeing his appearance, Huang Chenyan sneered, "I wonder if Patriarch Shen can give way now?"

Here, Huang Chenyan was about to bully others and teach Father Shen a lesson, and when he forced him to hand over the key to the warehouse, Xia Zijin had just recovered from his fever and woke up from a coma. As soon as he opened his eyes, Xia Zijin saw Xia Shengqing lying beside the bed .

Xia Shengqing watched her open her eyes, her face immediately filled with joy, "Zijin, are you awake?"

Xia Zijin blinked her eyes, raised her hand to hold her aching head, "What's wrong with me?"

Xia Shengqing hurriedly helped her to sit up, called Xin'er to bring the hot porridge that was always prepared in the kitchen, took a spoonful of it, brought it to her mouth and blew it, then handed it to Xia Zijin's lips again, Xia Zijin opened her mouth to swallow, and then I felt that my throat, which had not spoken for a few days, became moist again.

"How many days have I slept?" Xia Zijin felt dizzy and uncomfortable, and remembered the matter of looking for medicine, and immediately supported himself, "Have Chenyan and the others come back?"

"Not yet." Seeing her mentioning this, Xia Shengqing's face involuntarily turned serious.Now Ming Shengdi only allowed Xia Zijin to visit the palace alone. He went several times but was stopped by Xiao Xiazi.Fortunately, Xiao Xiazi took care of his past feelings, but revealed some news that Ming Shengdi's health was getting worse day by day.If you don't find those three herbs as soon as possible, it may be too late.

Looking at his complexion, Xia Zijin knew something was wrong, so he smiled unconsciously, "It's okay, Emperor Father will definitely be able to hide."

Seeing that her face was pale, but she still comforted herself, Xia Shengqing's mouth moved, but she didn't say anything that she had planned.In his opinion, Ming Shengdi is Xia Zijin's biological father after all, so there is no reason to ignore it.

"Sheng Qing, what is your relationship with Concubine Lian?" Xia Zijin looked down at her white nails, thinking about what she saw that day, and pursed her lips, unable to hold back.

Xia Shengqing has been thinking about whether she will ask about this for the past few days, but now listening to her ask, even though she had already found an excuse, but when she came to him, she still couldn't vomit it out.Xia Zijin saw that he was hesitating to speak, so she knew that she couldn't let herself know about it now, so she smiled self-deprecatingly, and tried to suppress the sour water in her heart, "Sheng Qing, since you don't want to Say it, don't say it, it's just that Concubine Lian hurt me like this this time, if this happens again in the future, I won't be soft-hearted anymore."

No matter what connection Yue Jing'an has with Xia Shengqing, her malice towards her is real.Keeping Yue Jing'an is harming herself, Xia Zijin is very clear about this.But because of Xia Shengqing, she was willing to skip this time. If there was a next time, she would definitely not be soft-hearted again.

This matter was full of weirdness. Seeing Xia Shengqing go out, Xia Zijin called Zhenwen who was guarding outside and asked him to investigate quietly.Zhenwen didn't know that the person who kidnapped her was Yue Jing'an, but now he knew it, and his eyes could not help showing doubts.

After all, Yue Jing'an didn't have any deep hatred with her. From the perspective of cooperation, Yue Jing'an didn't need to take such a big risk for Xia Tianqin.It was because of this that Xia Zijin didn't understand why she wanted to attack herself.

Yue Jingan managed to pinch Xia Zijin in his palm, but Xia Shengqing found her place before she could get rid of her, and even threatened her in front of Xia Zijin. All smashed, and she didn't feel better until the house was full of mess.

Seeing her like this, mammy naturally comforted her a lot, and Yue Jing'an finally recovered.Knowing that Xia Zijin had a high fever, she wished that Xia Zijin would burn to death directly. Now that she was well, the stagnation in her heart surged up again, which blocked her blood flow.
