The fever has not subsided in the last two days, and the manuscripts are all saved, please forgive me~

Ji Wuchang's body slowly leaned down, looking at Liao Xulin and Liao Dagongzi who fell to the ground, and he was not in a hurry to do anything else. This Liao Xulin is the helmsman behind the Shen family, which is beyond his and Duan Chong's expectations. But the way is always what people think of themselves, so the road paved with silver can't go through, so they can only change the way and take some shady means.

Duan Zhong has been under surveillance, so every move of himself and his master is under the surveillance of the other party. And now, Ji Wuchang and Duan Zhong are playing a time difference, even if Zhu Zhenyang and the second prince know that they are Duan Chong's people through secret channels, but it takes a certain amount of time to spread the news to Hangzhou, and during this period of time, he can do a lot of things.

And to make the other person think that he is under their surveillance all the time is a delusional illusion. Acting is such a thing, but Duan Zhong and Ji Wuchang are very good at it. Ji Wuchang touched his nose, now that Jiang Mingchen has gone to Hangzhou, and Jiang Mingchen's strength can make the other party think that a significant part of Duan's strength has arrived in the capital, and he is the only one in Hangzhou, so he will definitely not be able to do anything. In this way, even if Zhu Zhenyang and Xiao Beiding knew that they were Duan Chong's pawns, they would not send a large force to support Jiangnan, but would choose to monitor Duan Chong. Because Duan Zhong is a rumored master, this alone is enough to decide many things. Therefore, the prime minister and the second prince are at most repairing a letter to remind our governor...... Be careful.

And before this letter arrived, there were many things I could do.

Duan Zhong mentioned his conjecture in his letter to Ji Wuchang, the second prince has been cultivating his own forces in order to compete for the position of the dragon chair, and one of the forces is the Dongyi people, that is, the group of black-clothed people who have a lot to do with Duan Chong. And to be able to afford these people, the second prince needs a steady stream of silver to send in, where does the silver come from? Gangnam! There is no doubt that Wei Zhigao, a salt merchant in the south of the Yangtze River, played an extremely important role in it, and in order to raise more silver for the second prince, our governor directly let his son participate in it, and under the guise of the Shen family, he amassed a lot of money. Therefore, the talented Liao in front of him is also one of the right-hand men of our second prince.

Ji Wuchang stood up, walked to Liao Dagongzi's body and groped for a while, took out the seal that Liao Gongzi was carrying with him from his body, took out a letter from his arms, and gently covered the seal. And the handwriting on this letter is impressively that of our eldest son Liao Xulin. Of course, this is just an imitation of handwriting, but the degree of realism is enough to confuse the real with the fake, and there is also the seal of our eldest son Liao.

After Ji Wuchang stamped the seal, he stuffed the seal into the arms of the eldest prince Liao Xulin. After that, he called two henchmen to come in and ordered: "Send Liao Gongzi back, I believe that Liao Gongzi will definitely forget what happened tonight." He drank too much. ”

After the two henchmen left, Ji Wuchang summoned a rickety little old man from the outside. This old man is the contact person who is responsible for helping Liao Xulin contact the Shen family every time, and all the letters are transmitted by this old man, and only the letters sent by this old man will be read by Shen Zhentao, the head of the Shen family. It's the rule.

And Ji Wuchang had half the silver and half the intimidation, and finally bought the old man. Of course, during the period, I did not forget to use this old man's little daughter's family as hostages. Don't underestimate the loyalty of these elderly people to their masters.

And after the little old man came in, Ji Wuchang handed the letter in his hand into the old man's hand and ordered: "Send this letter to Shen Zhentao's hand now." ”

Hangzhou, Shen Yuan.

Shen Zhentao lingered in the drunken red mansion for a while today, and when he returned to his garden, it was already midnight. There was a smell of wine all over his body, and his steps were a little unsteady, and the servants of the house saw the appearance of his old man at the gate, and hurriedly ran forward to help him into the house.

Although the head of the Shen family was drunk, he understood it in his heart. And the reason why I am drunk at this moment is also because I am happy. He was originally a dilapidated small merchant in Hangzhou, but because he met the son of the governor of Jiangnan by chance three years ago, his life began a 180-degree turn.

Because he was sleek and smart enough, and his mouth was extremely tight, he was selected as an agent by Liao Xulin and Liao Gongzi, and took over many businesses of Jiangnan salt merchants in the name of a businessman, and the money gradually increased. Although he only picked up the soup and rice of Wei Zhigao, a real salt merchant in the south of the Yangtze River, although he got a large amount of silver to be handed over to his master: Liao Xulin, the remaining silver was enough to make him live a rich and luxurious life. The original dilapidated courtyard has been replaced by a manor, and there are already thirty or forty servants in the courtyard. And his business is not only selling salt, but also gradually developing to some forging villages, rouge shops, etc., there are more and more belongings, and the business is getting bigger and bigger. It is also well-known in Hangzhou. With such a rich and comfortable life, Shen Zhentao was satisfied. I went to the kiln every day, and when I went home at night, I had a smooth concubine to warm the quilt, what a pleasant thing it was.

So today, our Shen Zhentao Shen family master still drank a little wine in the drunken red mansion, sprinkled some silver on the girl in the building and tasted some freshness, and then returned home satisfied. Just wait to casually touch into a concubine's room, and you can have another pleasure and sleep until the afternoon tomorrow.

After a brief wash under the servant of the servant, he took off his coat and touched the door of a room. This is the house of his third concubine, and it is also his favorite concubine. This concubine is only eighteen years old, more than twenty years younger than herself, and she has already promised someone, but she was forced into the room by herself. And it was late at night at the moment, this little concubine must have slept, and the thought of being able to take advantage of this little concubine to fall asleep for a while, the lower abdomen couldn't help but warm up.

This is about to be a good night, so Shen Zhentao stretched out his hand and gently pushed open the door, and at this time, a maid hurriedly ran over and whispered a few words in Shen Zhentao's ear. In an instant, Shen Zhentao's lust was gone, and he put on his clothes and hurriedly walked towards the hall.

This secret letter from the eldest prince of Liao Xulin has always been sent in the middle of the night, which is a common practice. However, it has been several months since I received a secret letter, and this time suddenly came, there must be something very important. Walking quickly to the hall, the old man who delivered the letter was already waiting in the hall, and when he saw Shen Zhentao coming, he just saluted, took out a secret letter from his arms and handed it over.

The sender is not allowed to speak, and this is also the rule. Because I'm afraid that the wall has ears. After all, this is a head-off thing, and you have to be careful no matter what you do. When the old man finished delivering the letter, he turned around and walked out of the hall. The candlelight in the hall was a little dim, so Shen Zhentao didn't notice that the old man who delivered the letter today had a slightly wrong face.

After opening the letter, Shen Zhentao carefully read the contents of the letter twice, kept it all in mind, and confirmed the seal of the eldest son of Liao Xulin, then put the envelope and the letter paper on the candle on the side, and in a blink of an eye, it turned into a pile of ashes.

After reading the letter, a cold sweat broke out behind Shen Zhentao, because there were some extremely secret things written in the letter, and these things were extremely unfavorable to him. Shen Zhentao only knew that he had such a thin connection with the Governor, as for who the person above was, it was not clear, of course, Shen Zhentao did not want to know so much. Because sometimes, it's not a good thing to know too much, especially when you're a dispensable pawn that can be replaced at any time.

And on this letter, a very terrible thing is recorded. There are people who want to be disadvantageous to the Governor and want to pull the Governor off his horse. People with such ability are all in the capital, so Shen Zhentao doesn't need to guess to know that the other party's power must be very great. And if you want to pull the prime minister off the horse, you are an extremely important part here.

Therefore, Liao Xulin stared at Shen Zhentao in the envelope, and wanted to destroy all the open and dark accounts in the past few years, but all those that could be linked to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and there must be no trace left.

So after reading the content of the letter, Shen Zhentao didn't dare to delay in the slightest, and hurriedly walked towards his bedroom. This bedroom is Shen Zhentao's own room, and no one is allowed to come in on weekdays, even when he is cleaning, he is watching in the house. This study has become a forbidden place for the entire Shen Garden.

However, Shen Zhentao did not stay in his study for long, but opened the back door of the study and came to a small garden. This is a garden that Shen Zhentao takes care of himself, and there are many flowers and plants in it. Every day, Shen Zhentao will take a moment to take care of it. In the eyes of the subordinates, Shen Zhentao is a person who loves flowers and plants very much, and this piece of land is taken care of by himself, and others are not allowed to touch it at all.

And today, Shen Zhentao, the head of the Shen family, picked up the hoe without hesitation and razed all the flowers and plants that were treasured in the past. The petals are scattered, which is really a pity, if Duan Zhong is present, he will definitely cry out: "This can make more than a dozen bottles of perfume!" ”

However, Duan Zhong was not present at the moment, so Shen Zhentao's hoe did not hesitate to pick it down, and the petals withered, flying with the soil. Moments later, a large hole had been dug out of the otherwise intact garden.

Hearing only the sound of "bang", Shen Zhentao's hoe smashed on a hard object, Shen Zhentao stopped, leaned down and pushed the dirt away with his hands, and took out a large box from the ground.

This box is a very important item, because it contains all the items that record the entry and exit of various silver in and out in the past few years, and it is precisely because of the importance of these accounts that Shen Zhentao dug them up and wanted to destroy them!
