Chapter 156: The Holy Maiden and the Reckoning
"Hear clearly, Shen Yan is a young talent promoted by his father to be reckless, and he appeared as the head of the Criminal Department, the general of the Great Xia Royal Army and the cabinet, and won the trust and respect of his father. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" A trace of pride flashed in Xia Yuanxu's eyes, as if it had never appeared.
"Maybe you have never heard of the Great Xia Royal Army and the Cabinet walking, then the prince will tell you that the Great Xia Royal Army is an army suggested by Shen Yan and formed single-handedly, and the father and emperor personally wrote an inscription for this as a military flag. The cabinet is Shen Yan's suggestion that the emperor be additionally promoted and awarded official positions, and even his father's teacher has never tasted such treatment. A trace of passion appeared in Xia Yuanxu's eyes, and a goal of struggle clearly emerged in his mind.
"All this can't be true, the Shen family is already a big family in Lingnan, and has a pivotal position and influence in Lingnan, and now coupled with Shen Yan's official position and influence, wouldn't the Shen family's status in Lingnan far exceed that of me, the magistrate of the imperial court." Xia Yuanxu's words seemed to be an incomparable magic sound, completely destroying the arrogance in Lin Xueqian's bones, as if he had seen the result of the Shen family being above him.
"Fortunately, I have never faced Shen Yan before, even if there was an incident of peeping at my daughter's bath, I would wait for Shen Banxian to deal with it before coming forward." Thinking of this, a hint of luck appeared in Lin Xueqian's eyes, fortunately he deliberately delayed some time in order to achieve greater benefits, otherwise, he would also be an accomplice to kill Shen Yan.
"By the way, does he spy on his daughter out of the bath, does it mean that he is interested in Pei Rong, and does he want to marry Pei Rong to him?" This thought inexplicably appeared in Lin Xueqian's mind.
"The old man didn't dream, right, all this is true?" Hearing Xia Yuanxu's introduction, Shen Banxian suddenly felt dizzy, as if he couldn't accept the fact that Shen Yan could be an official.
"No, how will I live in the Shen family in the future?" A trace of sadness appeared in Steward Shen's eyes, the deeds of bullying Shen Yan for so many years were constantly projected in his mind like a movie film, and his mind was full of remorse and sadness. Who would have thought that the most beautiful person in the Shen family would come to this position, he really shouldn't look at people with colored glasses.
"Well, this wretched waste has become an official, so wouldn't it ...... if he framed him" Shen Wei, who had been watching the development of the situation coldly, heard that Shen Yan was actually a court official, and he won the emperor's trust and respect the news, a trace of sadness appeared in his heart, for fear that his framing of him would be exposed, and he would be attacked and retaliated against by Shen Yan.
"There are still people I can't see through." Ling Qiuniang stood quietly beside Shen Wei, as if she was a well-behaved and sensible maid, but when she heard Xia Yuanxu's words, the first reaction in Ling Qiuniang's heart was that she didn't see through Shen Yan, and the second reaction was that the imperial court attached so much importance to Lingnan, and actually sent a prince and a favorite minister to Lingnan to appease the people.
Ling Qiuniang, the saintess of the White Lotus Sect, has reached a first-class level in martial arts, even if she fights alone with Gao Yong, she may not be at a disadvantage, and she sneaked into Lingnan three months ago, the purpose is to get some silver from the Shen family in Lingnan as a fund for the expansion of the White Lotus Sect. In the past three months, he has successfully charmed Shen Wei, the eldest young man of the Shen family, and has taken away 10,000 taels of silver from him, either explicitly or secretly, and countless treasures, which are equivalent to no less than 60,000 taels in cash.
Originally, he planned to get some more silver taels, but Shen Wei's power was limited and he couldn't get more silver taels, so he thought about retreating. However, he always felt unwilling in his heart, so he continued to stay in the Shen Mansion to see if there was a chance, otherwise, he had to let people attack the Shen Mansion openly and force the Shen Mansion to pay for ransom.
"Eighteen princes, these are the emperor's wisdom, we seem to be deliberately acting here, so it's better not to say it." Seeing various colors appearing on everyone's faces, the corners of Shen Yan's mouth smiled slightly.
"Lord Shen, how do you say I acted? I didn't disgrace you. Seeing everyone's expressions, Xia Yuanxu looked like a primary school student who had done something and wanted to be praised by the teacher, and looked at Shen Yan with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
"Three, the third young master, the villain has always been blind before, and I hope that the third young master has a lot, forgive the villain's previous crimes, and the villain is willing to repay you as a cow and a horse." After all, Steward Shen had many years of experience in serving people, and he quickly sobered up from his surprise, and a deep remorse appeared in his eyes, and he pleaded with Shen Yan with a trembling voice.
"Steward Shen, if you say that, don't you want to torment me?" Hearing Steward Shen's pleading, an indifferent smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth.
"It seems that Shen Yan is not as arrogant as he was before, but what he lacks is an apology for himself, even if he is an official, but he is still young and not old enough, as long as he pays a little attention to his proportions and stammers more, maybe he can fly out of the Shen family and become the manager of Shen Yan's side." Hearing Shen Yan's kind smile, Steward Shen's mind couldn't help but be filled with thoughts.
"Well, it seems that this kid still has feelings for the Shen family." Hearing Shen Yan's words, a glimmer of hope appeared in Shen Banxian's eyes, as long as Shen Yan still had feelings for the Shen family, this matter would not only not be a bad thing, but would be a great thing. The Shen family can take this opportunity to strengthen its position in Lingnan, and even develop its power to Wuzhou Mansion and become a big family in Wuzhou Mansion.
A great and wonderful grand plan is constantly clear and strong in front of him, Shen Banxian thought wonderfully in his heart.
"It seems that I want to behave well, I can have a few chances to get in touch with the Shen family, and it is not even a problem to let Pei Rong marry Shen Yan." Seeing Shen Yan's performance, Lin Xueqian's eyes narrowed slightly, and he kept thinking about how to maximize his own interests.
"Steward Shen, you are the steward of the Shen Mansion, it doesn't matter whether it is right or wrong to do this for so many years, it's just that I'm not from the Shen family now, and you don't work with me. If you want to be a cow and a horse, I don't dare to ask for it, I'm so old, if I don't make a cow and a horse for a few days and become ill, then I won't die of loss. Moreover, I didn't come back this time to settle accounts with the Shen family. As far as the Shen family is concerned, I didn't look at it at all, never. A hint of a playful smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, and the change in everyone's expressions was completely in their eyes, I really didn't expect that human nature and human hearts were so subtle.
"No matter how rich and luxurious the Shen family is, it has nothing to do with me, not before, not now, and not in the future. Perhaps, I had thought that I could survive in the Shen family before, but that beating made me completely understand that I am not even as good as a beast to the Shen family, since I have such a status, then the Shen family is nothing to me. ”
When Shen Yan said this, a faint bitterness appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he couldn't help but think in his mind: Brother, I owe you, I have already helped you get angry, from now on, the Shen family is the Shen family, you are you, you are me, I am also you, and I hope you will go all the way.
