Shen Yan said: "Don't hide it from my father, I suspect that my wife's motives are related to the current situation of the Hua family." ”
After that, she told him the conclusions she had reached after discussing with Gu Song during the day. If their guess was correct, then Shen Mi must know about it, because if the matter came to this point, only he could keep the Hua family. Although the Shen family also has to be saved, they have more than two years in advance to prepare, and they will definitely not be without countermeasures.
In addition, she mentioned that there is a more important purpose, assuming that the emperor has already murdered the Hua family and confirmed it through Shen Mi, will Hua Juncheng still be so determined to stay in Jinling?
Although she has already seen the consequences of this matter, no one will believe it if she says it like this, but if Shen Mi says it, then it will be completely different, what he has confirmed is the truth, Hua Juncheng will believe it. And Shen Yan couldn't imagine that there was anything else in the world that could make Hua Juncheng stick to Jinling regardless of his life.
The key to convincing Hua Jun to move is here in Shen Mi.
"You mean to say that the wife knows that the emperor wants to target the Hua family, so she made this decision?"
Shen Mi was also slightly surprised at this time. But after a moment's pause, the surprise in his eyes gradually turned into a reality, and in the blink of an eye, he had already thought through the key. He did have a puzzle about Mrs. Shen's motives, but after seeing that Liu did not hesitate to kill so many people because of wealth, he had a further understanding of the viciousness of women.
So Mrs. Shen wanted to kill Hua's matter, he didn't extend it to other aspects, not to mention that the Hua family's embarrassment is embarrassing now, but the emperor should give him nothing less, except for errands, he didn't get involved in other wrongdoings, in this case, who would have thought that the emperor's dissatisfaction would lead to the destruction of the Hua family?
But now that I have heard Shen Yan analyze it layer by layer, I feel that every sentence is on the point, Mrs. Shen is indeed not such a person who does not cherish her feathers. Born in a family, she has the same reputation as Shen Guanyu, if it weren't for such a major event that endangered the Shen family, how could she kill Hua's?
"But I don't even know this news, how did my wife know?"
He was still quick to grasp the crux of the matter and reveal the last bit of doubt. Madame Shen is not the kind of person who hears it, nor is she a person who listens to the wind or rain, she must have a certain grasp of this news to do this, but the emperor's intentions, how can ordinary people catch it?
Shen Yan shrugged: "That's what I said about my father." At present, it is impossible to get the news from his wife's mouth, so he can only find another way. I think about it, probably only from the master's side can I get the truth. ”
"Sir?"
Shen Mi narrowed her eyes.
Shen Yan spread his hands: "Isn't it?" ”
The next day in the yamen, Shen Mi couldn't do official business in front of a table full of people. Shen Yan's words obviously took root in his mind, implicating Mrs. Shen's murder motive to the emperor's intentions for the Hua family, and Hua's attempted murder seemed to have poked a big hole, and the landscape in this hole was even more dangerous and terrifying.
He had to admit that Shen Yan's reasoning was reasonable, but why did the emperor get rid of the Hua family? The old lady of the Hua family is loyal to the Zhou family, and Hua Juncheng has also been obedient to the emperor all these years, otherwise why could so many remarks of Jiangnan Shizi in private reach the emperor's ears word for word?
The weaving of the internal affairs office of the previous dynasties is another eye of the emperor distributed in various places, as the silk weaving procurement of the internal affairs office, the Hua family, not only serves as the important task of the imperial merchants, but also secretly collects the secret duties of local officials and scholars on weekdays, Jiangnan is very peaceful in these years, and the Hua family has made great contributions.
If the emperor really wants to get rid of the Hua family, then there must be a very important reason. The Hua family has a lot of money, and the Central Plains has been fighting for so many years, although it is not overstretched, but the treasury is not necessarily very rich, is it because of the wealth of the Hua family?
But just for the sake of the Hua family's money, getting rid of such a useful person is inevitably a big loss.
So what else could be the reason?
He paced around the office a few times with his tea, and suddenly stopped.
Whatever the reason, it is clear that the news must be confirmed first. And the source of this news is obviously particularly important.
He stood with his eyebrows condensed for a moment, put down the tea bowl, and called the servant: "Go and see if Lord Shilang is in the official room?" ”
After the official went, he came back: "If you go back to your lordship, Lord Shilang will go into the palace to accompany the emperor to play chess." ”
Shen Mi frowned slightly, so unfortunate.
But after standing for a moment, he suddenly loosened his brow again, walked out of the door with his hands in his hands, and then slowly turned a few corridors and paced in front of the deepest row of rooms in the courtyard of the yamen.
This is a separate office for the Ministry of Rites and the two attendants. The official office of the Ministry of Rites in the middle is Chen Wenjing, a scholar of the Cabinet University, but when Chen Ge is in the cabinet, there are many times when Chen Ge is in the cabinet, and the official office of the Ministry of Rites is not open for a few days throughout the year. The rooms on the left and right belong to Shen Guanyu, the left attendant, and Pan Jing, the right attendant.
Shen Mi walked to Shen Guanyu's room, and the official on duty immediately greeted him with a smile: "It's unfortunate that the lord came, Lord Shilang was called to the palace." If there is something wrong with the adults, the small ones can tell them back. ”
Shen Mi said casually: "Yesterday, the adults gave me a dossier, I think I forgot to take it away, come and look for it." ”
The relationship between father and son is the biological father, how dare the official say much, he opened the door at the moment and bowed down to invite him in.
Shen Mi entered the door, turned around and looked at the door, and the official thoughtfully closed the door again. Shen Mi looked along the bookshelves on the two walls, and waited until the sound of the servants chatting and farting came from the porch outside, so he quietly half-squatted down and opened the secret compartment under Shen Guanyu's book.
In each office, there will be a secret compartment for placing important texts, but the position is different, and the opening method is also different, Shen Mi pressed the opening mechanism to open the drawer, took out a thick pile of files, and carefully flipped through it.
Shen Guanyu is an old man who has been cruising the court for many years, and some things related to his family and life will definitely not be placed in these places, but if it is some personnel relationships that need to be exchanged frequently on weekdays, when his official position is very stable, it is inevitable that there will always be some words left.
Shen Mi looked at it slowly, and finally stopped his gaze on a post printed with the Marquis of Anning's Mansion.
It's just a very common post inviting you to tea. But the words An Ninghou instantly pulled his thoughts back to the incident where Wu Chong and the Liu family teamed up to harm him a few months ago, after the incident, the attitude of the Hou Anning Mansion to turn the war into a jade silk was so positive that it was a little humble, but the Shen family and An Ninghou have not had any close contact, and An Ninghou is the queen's mother, why would he bow down to the Shen family so closely?
His fingertips suddenly felt a little cold, and when he flipped down, another post signed as An Ninghou appeared in front of him.
It doesn't seem like it's intentionally saved, but it's just that it hasn't had time to deal with it and is afraid of causing trouble, so it's left in the dark compartment.
Shen Mi looked at this post, and his face was gradually covered with dark clouds.
The snow droplets under the eaves have been dripping all day, and by the time the lights are held, it has gradually slowed down, and the Xiyue Hall, which has been covered by snow for several days, has almost revealed the outline under his eyes.
The main room is burning with the misty incense of agarwood, and the half-person-high beauty shrugging under the curtain has two red plums in the bottle, one high and one low, and the scarlet color collides with the simplicity of the pear furniture on all sides, exuding a bit of ancient vicissitudes.
Shen Yan and Fu Niang were crossword puzzles on the kang, and suddenly the door was dark, and Fusang walked in: "The second master is back." ”
Shen Yan threw away the pen and stood up, put on his shoes to meet him, and saw Shen Mi, who was dressed in sable velvet and looked particularly handsome under a scarlet official uniform, walked in with slightly condensed eyebrows. She called her father, but Shen Mi glanced at her, went into the house to greet Hua's first, then changed her clothes, and went to Mo Juxuan with her.
"How? Did you hear about it? ”
As soon as Shen Yan saw his face, he knew that something was wrong, and he said last night that he would ask Shen Guanyu, but he didn't know if he had asked.
Shen Mi's face was very solemn, and he was silent for a long time, and he said as if he had made up his mind: "I didn't ask the master, but I found clues about An Ninghou's dealings with the master in the master's bookcase." ”
He stared obscurely, not knowing whether to tell her or not. But after he knew that his daughter was not so childish and foolish, how could he ignore her words like a child's words.
But he still didn't continue to talk about his distress, shock and suspicion of the world, Shen Yan as a boudoir woman, she knew so much enough, she should be a delicate woman who was pampered in the back house, she wanted to eat every day, wore what she wanted, played and played, her life should be as simple as possible, these things involving the court were too complicated and too dark for her.
How can his daughter deal with these shady people and things.
He would think so, he really can't blame him, no one would have thought that Shen Yan, who looked lively and cunning, would see more selfishness than he imagined, her heart had long been trained like an iron wall, and her acceptance of a dirty trick was far greater than he imagined.
"Over there in the Hua family, my father will go and tell my uncle, you don't have to worry, I will find a way."
His harmony was so relieved to her, but the gloom between his brows was so obvious.
Shen Yan didn't argue and obediently went back to the room.
Shen Mi's reply to her was very brief.
An Ninghou, does it mean that An Ninghou may be the one who revealed the news to Shen Guanyu?
Shen Yan thought of the news that Fu Niang and the others had inquired about after something strange happened to Mrs. Shen, in the night before Aunt Wu was beaten with a cane, Shen Guanyu had come back very late because he had gone to the palace. R1152
