Guo Zhiyuan had already agreed with Sun Laosan to meet at the place of meeting, in this largest inn in Haicheng, Guo Zhiyuan had just stayed not long ago, Sun Laosan came to find him, presumably Sun Laosan had already laid eyeliner here, so he knew it as soon as he arrived. There was also a middle-aged man in a long shirt who came with Sun Laosan, Sun Laosan still looked unsmiling, pointed to the man in a long shirt and introduced: "My second brother! And he said no more.

The man in the long shirt was familiar with himself, and immediately saluted Guo Zhiyuan with a smile on his face: "The villain Sun Er, I have admired the name of Lord Guo for a long time, it is really like thunder, I saw it today, and it is really a vain man under the fame, the adults are young and promising, wise and martial, no wonder the people of Gutian say that the adults are the stars in the sky and descend to earth, and the villain's admiration for the adults is like a surging sea, endless......"

Guo Zhiyuan looked at this Sun Er with some surprise, this man in a long shirt called himself Sun Er, and Sun Laosan called him the second brother, presumably his status in the Sun family was second only to Sun Chuan, but this Sun Er was not similar to Sun Chuan in terms of appearance, figure, words and deeds, it should not be a brother, but a sworn brother, Sun Er should not be his real name, this person is thin and thin, always smiling all over his face, looking harmless to humans and animals, and his speech is also oily and smooth, not like a pirate on the sea.

However, Guo Zhiyuan knew that this Sun Er was by no means simple, although he was not always as murderous as Sun Laosan, but when he looked at Guo Zhiyuan with a smile, a fine light flashed in his eyes made Guo Zhiyuan feel like he had been pricked by a needle, Guo Zhiyuan had never seen Sun Er in Sun Mansion before, which meant that he should be mainly responsible for the affairs of the Sun family outside, and Sun Chuan could rest assured that he would be responsible for such an important matter, and there must be something extraordinary.

So Guo Zhiyuan didn't dare to underestimate this Sun Er, and hurriedly stood up and saluted back: "It turned out to be Mr. Sun Er, disrespectful and disrespectful, Sun Mansion is a family and three masters, Guo is considered to have seen all of them today, this time to Luzon, Guo will rely on Mr. Sun Er!" ……”

In fact, he has been suggesting that Sun Chuan find a way to connect with the government, so as to make their maritime business bigger, but Sun Chuan doesn't like to deal with people in the government, so he hasn't adopted his suggestion. After seeing Guo Zhiyuan, I was even more puzzled, Guo Zhiyuan is so young and his official position is not high, why did the boss bet on him?

So although he is very flattering to Guo Zhiyuan on the surface, he is actually a little disappreciative in his heart, but this Sun Er is responsible for the external affairs of the Sun family all the year round, and often has to deal with outsiders, and he still has a vision of people. Zhao Guo Zhiyuan arched his hand and said: "My lord's words are serious, the boss said, my Sun Mansion is driven by adults, this time to Luzon, Sun is desperate for his life, but also to protect the adults!" All the ships and supplies required by the adults have been prepared, and all the sailors are veterans of running boats, so they can set off just after the orders of the adults! ……”

Guo Zhiyuan nodded again and again, very satisfied with Sun Er's efficiency, and hurriedly said: "It's really hard Mr. Sun Er......", suddenly Guo Zhiyuan's heart moved, he spoke so well to Xu Xueju this time, and promised to fully cooperate with his mission to Luzon this time, he always felt that something was wrong, this Sun Er was responsible for the external affairs of the Sun Mansion all the year round, and he must have some understanding of the officials in Fujian Province, so he hurriedly asked: "Mr. Sun Er is responsible for the external affairs of the Sun Mansion, and he must often deal with people in the government. Can we know who is this Fujian branch guarding Zhangnan Province right to participate in politics? What is this person's reputation? ……”

"Fujian is divided into Zhangnan Province and the right to participate in politics?" Sun Er frowned and said: "It is Shen Yizhong who participates in politics on the right side of Zhangnan Province in Fujian, this person is the clan brother of Shen Yizhong, the head of the dynasty, such a big man and a villain have no chance to get acquainted, but I heard that this person is not easy to get along, and he is very greedy for money, I am afraid it will not be easy to get through his door......

As soon as Guo Zhiyuan heard that Shen Yizhong was Shen Yizhong's brother, he knew that he was sold by Xu Xueju, and he knew with his ass that Shen always hated himself to the core, since Shen Yizhong was Shen Yizhong's brother, it would be strange to give him a good face, fortunately, he asked Sun Er in advance, otherwise he would have rushed to find Shen Yizhong, and he would definitely have a gray nose, and he would have disrupted the whole plan due to lack of preparation.

Now it seems that it is impossible to expect to get benefits from Shen Yizhong, and he must make preparations with both hands, so he said to Sun Er with a solemn face: "Mr. Sun Er, things may change a little, I am afraid we have to make more preparations...... "Saying that, he whispered in Sun Er's ear, Sun Er's face showed embarrassment after hearing this, Guo Zhiyuan patted him on the shoulder and said: "Mr. Sun Er, Guo's life is entrusted to you, the more prepared you are, the greater the hope of our success on this trip......

Sun Er gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, the villain will do his best!" ……”

Although Guo Zhiyuan already knew that it was difficult for him to get the support he wanted from Shen Yizhong, he still had to visit Shen Yizhong, because it was one thing for Shen Yizhong to give it or not, and it was another thing for him to go or not.

Shen Yizhong is in charge of Zhangnan Province to participate in politics, so the yamen where he works is actually in Zhangzhou, but everyone knows that Haicheng Yuegang is a big fat meat, so he naturally has to keep an eye on it, so he has been squatting in Haicheng for nearly half of the time, and for this reason he also specially bought a big mansion in Haicheng.

Unlike Shen Yizhong, Shen Yizhong is actually not too keen on power struggles, in his opinion, Shen has always looked at the scenery, in fact, it is far less nourishing than his own right to participate in politics in Zhangnan Province, guarding such a cornucopia of Haicheng Moon Port, to get the wind and rain, plus the emperor is far away, and he doesn't have to worry about the emperor being unhappy one day and cutting himself, let alone being impeached by the officials, how good.

Because he was not very keen on the power struggle, Shen Yizhong didn't realize that this was Xu Xueju's conspiracy after receiving Xu Xueju's letter, so he was angry at the time, and said: "Okay, this is really feng shui in turn, and Guo Zhengyu's son will also fall into the hands of the old man one day!" ……”

Why is Shen Yizhong so popular? It's not just because of Shen Zheng's relationship, there is another story in this, Shen Zhengyi's son Shen Taihong is known for his talent and is ready to participate in the imperial examination, but at that time, there were many talented people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the competition in the scientific examination was fierce. Naturally, it is easy to pass the test.

But there was an accident in this matter, because the wife and shadow are all under the control of the Ministry of Rites, Guo Zhengyu was a waiter of the Ministry of Rites at the time, so he proposed to change Shen Taihong to Shang Xicheng, in terms of grade, Shang Xicheng is actually higher than the Zhongshu Sheren, but according to the regulations, Shang Xicheng can no longer participate in the imperial examination, which is equivalent to cutting off Shen Taihong's imperial examination road, and this Liangzi will be bigger! Among the nephews of the Shen family, Shen Taihong is the most talented, if Shen Taihong can pass the imperial examination and enter the jinshi, he will be able to achieve the good story of the Shen family's four jinshi, which has a great impact on the entire Shen family, and the reason why Shen has always targeted Guo Zhengyu in the demon book case is also related to this matter, so it is no wonder that Shen Yizhong heard that Guo Zhiyuan was going to be so popular.

(Note: It is also said in the wild history that Shen Taihong deliberately deceived Shen Taihong to shade him as a scholar in order to avoid suspicion, and was afraid that Shen Taihong would affect his position as the first assistant in the examination, but finally recommended him to be Shang Xicheng, so Shen Taihong turned against Shen Cheng and his son from then on, and never interacted with Shen Cheng for the rest of his life.) But the author thinks that this statement is not quite in line with Shen Chengyi's style of acting in the later period, Shen has always paid more attention to his official reputation in the early days, but it has changed in the later period, for example, in the matter of establishing the prince, Shen has always supported Zhu Changluo, and has repeatedly written to Wanli, Zhu Changluo can be established as the prince Shen has always made meritorious contributions, but his position has obviously changed in the demon book case, and in the matter of abolishing the mine tax supervisor, he knew that he would be scolded by the ministers, Or the holy decree of abolishing the mine tax supervisor was returned to Wanli, which shows that Shen has always paid more attention to the interests of his friends than to the official reputation in the later period, and if Shen Taihong can enter the government through the imperial examination, it will be very helpful for Shen to consolidate his Zhejiang party power, so this is not in line with his style of acting. ）

Guo Zhiyuan inquired about Shen Yizhong's address in Haicheng, so he was ready to pay a visit to the post, Shen Yizhong didn't dare not see Guo Zhiyuan, after all, Guo Zhiyuan came with Wanli's secret decree, so after Guo Zhiyuan sent the post, soon a family member came out to lead Guo Zhiyuan in.

Shen Yizhong's house is really luxurious, rockeries, pavilions and pavilions are dotted among them, quite a bit of Suzhou garden flavor, so Guo Zhiyuan looked at it and smacked his tongue secretly, such a house can't be taken down without tens of thousands of taels of silver, this is just a courtyard of Shen Yizhong, it seems that this Shen Yizhong is not less fishing!

The family led Guo Zhiyuan to the flower hall and left, not even making a cup of tea, Guo Zhiyuan sat in the flower hall for a long time, Shen Yizhong still did not show up, Guo Zhiyuan had guessed that it would be such a treatment, but he was not annoyed, stood up and began to pace slowly in the flower hall, admiring the antique calligraphy and paintings in the flower hall, the antique calligraphy and paintings in the flower hall are all authentic masterpieces, valuable and valuable, Guo Zhiyuan even saw a calligraphy work of Zhao Ji of Song Huizong in it, so he deliberately exclaimed: "This is the authentic work of Song Huizong?" This thin gold calligraphy is really beautiful! ……”
