"My lord, Xia Guan just went to the prefect's prison and met Master Ling." After Tong Shaohua left the prefect's cell, he felt an inexplicable melancholy in his heart, he didn't know where to go, let his footsteps go, and unconsciously walked to Shen Yan's side, with a trace of apprehension, Tong Shaohua greeted Shen Yan with a kind smile on his face, and said slowly.

"You're coming to me so late for this?" After listening to Tong Shaohua's words, a hearty smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, with a hint of surprise, he glanced at Tong Shaohua lightly, and laughed loudly.

"Don't hide it from your lord, in the past four years, Master Ling has become the demon of the lower official, so the lower official will go to see him privately, so as to think about unlocking the demon in the heart of the lower official." A faint bitterness flashed in Tong Shaohua's eyes, and a look of relief appeared between his eyebrows, and he said slowly.

"It seems to have had some effect from your look." A faint smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, and he glanced at Tong Shaohua indifferently and smiled noncommittally.

"It does have some effect, at least the shackles in Xia Guan's heart are no longer so obvious, and Xia Guan already has a cheerful feeling in his heart." Hearing Shen Yan's words, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Tong Shaohua's mouth, and he said slowly with a hint of gratitude.

Although Shen Yan didn't say anything explicitly, Tong Shaohua knew very well in his heart that if Shen Yan had to hold on to this matter, then Tong Shaohua had made some mistakes, and these mistakes were likely to affect Tong Shaohua's status and influence in Shen Yan's mind. At the same time, although Shen Yan did not say it explicitly, it was hinted at Tong Shaohua in his words, and Shen Yan not only did not pursue the matter this time, but maintained a tacit attitude, which is Shen Yan's mentality towards his subordinates.

"My lord, Xia Guan chatted with Master Ling for a few words, although Master Ling repeatedly wanted to see the adult, and at the same time wanted to use the means he used to deal with the adult, in order to relieve the demons in his heart, Xia Guan refused Master Ling's request without authorization, and told him that the set of things used on the adult would not work at all." Tong Shaohua's eyes flashed with a look of apprehension, although he knew in his heart that Shen Yan would not go to see Master Ling, but it was indeed a bit too much for him to make his own decisions without Shen Yan expressing his position.

"Oh, what are the methods that Master Ling usually uses?" Hearing Tong Shaohua's words, a faint smile flashed in Shen Yan's eyes, and he asked slowly with a look of interest.

"It's nothing more than wine, wealth, and fame." Tong Shaohua saw that Shen Yan did not have the slightest expression of blame, and his worried heart slowly calmed down.

"If you don't have enough insight to know people's hearts, you can't skillfully judge everyone's preferences." Hearing Tong Shaohua's words, a look of admiration flashed in Shen Yan's eyes, everyone does have weaknesses, but it is not easy to want others to know about this weakness, not everyone will be stupid to tell you what my shortcomings are, so Master Ling can do this with the talent and insight.

"It's a pity that Master Ling can know the ambitions of adults." Tong Shaohua's eyes flashed with a look of admiration, it is difficult for ordinary people to refuse the cooperation of Master Ling, if he hadn't insisted on the ideal in his heart back then, it is estimated that he would definitely not be so insistent, but chose to cooperate with Master Ling and become his umbrella.

However, Shen Yan is different, although he is an outsider and is not a local official, but Shen Yan must know the strength and property of Master Ling, knowing that the other party has such great influence and strength, Shen Yan still domineeringly issued an order to detain Lord Ling and raid his home, this is not something that ordinary people can do, even Gu Chaoru, who is dominating in Xiangzhou Mansion, does not have such courage, no wonder Shen Yan can get the trust and respect of the emperor, and rise rapidly in such a short period of time.

It is necessary to get the emperor's trust and weight, however, if you don't have enough ability and wrist, it is not easy to occupy the emperor's trust and weight for a long time, as the so-called companion is like a tiger, the emperor's mind is not so easy to guess, as long as you are not careful, you will guess the emperor's intentions wrong, and at this time, if you rely on the emperor's trust and weight and speak indiscriminately, you will be suspicious of the emperor's trust, and even feel disgusted, so as to completely consume the emperor's trust and weight.

Since Shen Yan was unexpectedly promoted by the emperor, almost every step has been right, is this just Shen Yan's luck, no, this is Shen Yan's strength, if he doesn't have enough ability and strength, plus a little luck, Shen Yan can take one step at a time, and grow up quickly, becoming a big force that can affect one side today.

"The finch knows the ambition of the bird." Hearing Tong Shaohua's words, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, and with a hint of arrogance, he said loudly.

Shen Yan didn't have much ambition at the beginning, but with the continuous improvement of his identity, plus more and more people who need to be protected, it can be said that Shen Yan's responsibility is getting bigger and bigger, in order to let his beloved have a stable living environment, Shen Yan must continue to move forward like a boat against the current, otherwise he will be crushed by some people in the court, this is not the result that Shen Yan wants, therefore, Shen Yan's heart has quietly undergone some changes, and he is constantly pursuing greater strength, Have a greater ability to protect those around you.

It can be said that from the very beginning, Shen Yan and Master Ling almost couldn't sit together, unless Master Ling could change his position and put all his strength into Shen Yan's camp, no, not all, as long as he showed the sincerity of Lord Ling, just like Yang Manlou and Song Bugui, in a sense, Shen Yan and Yang Manlou and Song Bugui couldn't come together, but Yang Manlou and Song Bugui didn't have much rejection of Shen Yan, and even mixed with a trace of goodwill and sincerity, so, Shen Yancai privately maintained an indifferent relationship with Yang Manlou and Song Bugui, instead of taking a knife like he did with Master Ling, directly cutting off people's lives.

This is not that Shen Yan is afraid of the soft and the hard, and feels that the strength of Master Ling is far inferior to Yang Manlou and Song Bugui, so Shen Yan picks soft persimmons to start. If Master Ling hadn't maintained a hostile attitude from the moment Shen Yan stepped into Xiangzhou Mansion, Shen Yan would not have attacked Master Ling, after all, the development of a place is still inseparable from people like Master Ling, but unfortunately, Master Ling made a wrong choice.
