Chapter 237: Voluntary Donations

When she returned home from her parents' house in the evening, Zhong Liyue found that Shen Zhaoyan had not returned. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 Info waited for a long time, and she couldn't help but fall asleep sleepily. After a long time, Shen Zhaoyan gently entered the house from the outside. Seeing Zhong Liyue sitting and falling asleep, the candle flame on the side jumped and jumped, and a warmth arose in his heart, he walked over and hugged his beloved to the bed.

"You're back? Have you ever inquired about Mingyue's whereabouts? Zhong Liyue woke up in a daze and immediately asked.

"It turns out that the lady is not worried about being a husband!" Shen Zhaoyan said 'sadly'. He helped Zhong Liyue cover the quilt, kissed her on the forehead, and then got up and said, "I forgot about it, so I'll go and inquire with Ye Chuan." ā€

"Forget it! It's so late, let's rest first! ā€

"This kind of thing is naturally the most convenient to do at night. I'll come back first, I'm afraid you'll wait for me. When you fall asleep, I won't worry. ā€

"Then you say, will that pervert send someone to arrest me and my father?"

"A lot of people is not good for hiding secrets, and he already has a chip in his hand, so it's not very likely. But my father-in-law and outside this house have arranged for someone to guard in secret, so you can sleep in peace! Shen Zhaoyan said softly.

Zhong Liyue smiled sweetly: "You think so thoughtfully. ā€

Shen Zhaoyan left the house lightly and went out again with Ye Chuan.

It was about an hour before they came back from outside, but Zhong Liyue had already fallen into a deep sleep.

When he woke up the next day, Shen Zhaoyan told Zhong Liyue heavily: "I didn't find it." It's the only chip he's having right now, so I think it's hidden in a very secret place. But don't worry, I've sent someone to investigate. ā€

"Zhaoyan, I'm afraid she will be tortured. If, if we don't find Mingyue in the end, let's agree to his request! Good no good? Zhong Liyue frowned and pleaded with Shen Zhaoyan.

In order to reassure Zhong Liyue, Shen Zhaoyan stroked her hair and nodded slightly.

Another dark night crept in.

However, it should have been silent, but everyone took action.

A light figure shuttled through the night, and almost all night, she was constantly running on the road.

On the other side, Shen Zhaoyan, under the cover of Ye Chuan, secretly went to visit his uncle.

"Zhaoyan is incompetent, I really can't think of a way not to make the Shen family lose anything." Shen Zhaoyan hung his head apologetically and said to his uncle who was wearing dirty clothes.

Uncle Tai sighed leisurely, and then said, "I've also thought about it, and I'm really embarrassed for you." It is a great blessing that such a big thing can keep our family safe. I have already thought about it, take the initiative to donate one-third of the Shen family's money, and then open up the relationship between several important ministers, and I should be able to be safe and worry-free. ā€

"A third?" Shen Zhaoyan shook his head heavily.

Uncle Tai was slightly stunned: "Less?" ā€

"Uncle Tai, Zhao Yan is bold and begs to give up all his money. Only the empty shell was left, and it will make a comeback in the future. Shen Zhaoyan analyzed to his uncle: "In these years of dealing with the government, Zhaoyan has a little understanding of the situation of the authorities, in recent years, the imperial court has a lack of treasury in order to prosper the economy, and the emperor has complained about the wealth of several major families. ā€

Uncle Tai frowned and asked, "As you say, even if you don't say anything about this, the imperial court will try to trouble our major families so that they can ......?" ā€

The following words speak for themselves. Shen Zhaoyan nodded silently.

Uncle Tai pondered for a while, and said helplessly: "Your judgment has always been accurate, but this matter is very important, and I want to discuss it with the elders." ā€

"Uncle Tai, they must be reluctant, but the benefits are not numerous, I hope Uncle Tai will consider it."

The wealth of the Shen family is not only coveted by the imperial court, but even the Luo family, so Luo Yunfu found out that she had married the wrong person, but she still held back. If the imperial court wants to move the Shen family, it naturally needs a decent reason, it is a great sin to marry the imperial court, what could be more suitable than this reason? If you want not to be connected, you can only give up some things.

Once he donates Wanguan's family property, it is equivalent to hollowing out Shen Jinyan's power, and when the time comes, he will be forced to leave by life and death, and it will be a matter of course. Of course, donating all the family property is such a big thing, and the court will definitely be curious. However, for a family that can't squeeze a little oil and water, the emperor will not spend manpower to investigate.

That's the benefit of being proactive. Compared to forced donations, the effect is very different. The Shen family took the initiative to contribute to the construction of the country, and the imperial court was naturally happy, in contrast, those who were reluctant to let go of their money and wealth, the imperial court had a thousand ways for you to have to take it out.

There are pros and cons.

When Uncle Tai raised the matter, there was no doubt that everyone was against it. However, it was too late, and Uncle Tai had already written to the official palace to express his intentions.

The Shen family fryer.

A few elders couldn't help but curse: "Are you old and confused? ā€

For all the white eyes and accusations, Uncle Tai has always remained silent. This is the duty of the oldest elder of the Shen family.

And Zhong Liyue seems to have invisibly promoted the 'baby house' because of the oolong incident with the Shen family, and the business is even more hot than before.

The sudden busyness made Zhong Liyue anxious, and even Jinyue, who had always been cold, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

Customers here want products, and Zhong Liyue is in short supply there.

"I recommend someone to you, she used to be a housekeeper of the Shen family, and then a few years after she got married, her husband's family was in trouble, and her life has been poor, and now she should be in urgent need of money, but because many positions are not suitable for her to do, she has been idle at home, relying on helping people wash clothes and do chores to survive." After Shen Zhaoyan listened to Zhong Liyue's complaints, he immediately expressed his opinion.

With such a suitable character coming as soon as it is said, Zhong Liyue felt that it was impossible for Shen Zhaoyan to pay attention to a former housekeeper on weekdays, so she asked puzzledly, "When did you find a good one for me?" You seem to have expected this. ā€

"I know your business is going to take off, and you're going to need such a character, so I've thought of it in advance." Shen Zhaoyan said confidently: "After so many years of business, it is necessary to learn some emergency measures." If you have been in business for a long time, you will also find some patterns. ā€

His tone is very relaxed, but it takes extreme confidence to be able to keep his face open to any change.

That's what it means to be powerful!

With such a person who can strategize, who can believe that he will quit the Shen family like this?

Zhong Liyue smiled lightly, in life, they work hand in hand, at work, trust each other, and are busy with each other. It's a good life.

On this day, the weather was clear. What was incompatible with this beautiful weather was the cloudy expression on Shen Jinyan's face.

As soon as the imperial court received the petition from the Shen family, it quickly completed all the formalities, and then sent two ministers to come to the Shen family in person, count the money, and include it in the national treasury.

Shen Jinyan, as the head of the family, has no way to redeem it. Even, he didn't want to come out to meet the court officials, but he couldn't.

"Are you persecuted?" The two ministers were snubbed, looked at Shen Jinyan with a black face in confusion, and asked unhappily.
