The report from Jiangsu and Zhejiang came very quickly, and Li Yuan had just had breakfast when he saw Xia Lindao, the first assistant of the cabinet, holding a copy of the recital and asking to see him. Li Yuan was a little curious, but as soon as he opened it and looked at it for a few moments, his face became extremely blue.

Putting the song down, Li Yuan suppressed his anger and asked, "What are those people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang going to do?" ”

"The Holy Majesty is angry, there is another secret recital on this matter, which was submitted by the Yasukuni Gong." Xia Lindao handed Lin Yuan's recital, Li Yuan glanced at it a few times, and put it aside to think carefully.

"Say, which of the two is true?"

"I think it's all true." Xia Lin replied a little strangely, and Li Yuan frowned and asked, "Why?" The two people's notes are completely different concepts. ”

Xia Lin bowed and replied: "What the minister means is that Yang Tai is for the sake of the stability of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, even if this matter is fake, we must take it seriously." As for the Yasukuni Gong's side, he just reported it according to the truth. ”

"But there is no evidence for Yasukuni." Li Yuan frowned.

"No evidence is the best evidence, they did it too cleanly. No one in Zhenjiang Mansion can start so cleanly. Xia Lindao analyzed.

Li Yuan thought for a while and asked, "Then according to what you mean, who is going to sit in this position right now?" ”

Xia Lindao looked up at Li Yuan and said, "The minister recommends Lord Shen Lian." ”

Li Yuan's eyes lit up, but then he shook his head: "Shen Lian can't go, his goal is too big." ”

"The minister didn't say that Lord Shen is the main one." Xia Lin paused and said: "The main force can also be the Yasukuni Gong, with Lord Shen Lian here, the Yasukuni Gong can do a lot of things." ”

Li Yuan thought for a while and said, "You go down first, I'll think about this matter again." Xia Lin Dao withdrew from the main hall. Looking at the music on the table, Li Yuan thought for a while and said, "Wang is worried, pass Shen Lian into the palace." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

In the study, waiting for Shen Lian to finish reading the two recitals, Li Yuan asked, "What does Aiqing think?" ”

"The minister is willing to go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but before that, he has to meet someone." Shen Lian gave his own answer, and Li Yuan asked, "Who to see?" ”

"Shen Bin's wife, Lin Jia." Shen Lian said.

Li Yuan thought for a long time, and then he remembered who Shen Bin was, and he was a little curious, what does this have to do with Shen Bin. Seeing that the emperor was a little puzzled, Shen Lian explained: "Weichen has been away for so many years, and he has also dealt with the Xue family a lot, that is to help people who are not profitable and can't afford to be early, the Xue family has never seen any treasures in a hundred years, but now they are salivating over the heirlooms of the Shen family, you must know that the Shen family and the Xue family are not at the same level at all, and the minister is a little curious about what makes the Xue family so crazy." ”

"People are not in the Yasukuni Mansion now, you can go to Luoxian Tower to have a look." Li Yuan said.

"The minister has an order, so go back and clean up, and set off for the south the day after tomorrow." Shen Lian replied.

"It's hard work, I thought you would have a good rest at home." Li Yuan said with a wry smile, there are few people available under him, almost a radish and a pit, there is no alternative at all, thinking about the scientific examination in the spring after the year, Li Yuan hopes to find some malleable talents in it.

Shen Lian didn't say anything, and bowed down and exited the main hall after thanking him. As soon as he left the palace, he went to Luoxian Tower. Today's Luoxian Lou has become the first restaurant in Beijing since Lin Yuan's transformation, most of the fresh things in the capital come from here, and the major restaurants and restaurants in the capital have gradually begun to imitate, Shen Lian has heard of it since he returned to Beijing, but he is busy with business, and he has never had the opportunity to come, and today is a coincidence.

Shen Lian entered the restaurant, and under the leadership of Xiao Er, he went directly to the private room upstairs, the first floor of this Luoxian Building is a place for ordinary people to eat, and the second floor is reserved for rich families, if you are lucky, you can still eat Zhao Niangzi's dishes. Shen Lian looked at the shopkeeper: "Why did you lead me to the second floor?" ”

The shopkeeper was a little puzzled, could it be a customer on the third floor? He looked Shen Lian up and down, and asked carefully, "Did this guest make a reservation in advance?" ”

Shen Lian shook his head, and the shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Although the downstairs environment is better than other restaurants, the second floor is more quiet, if the guests don't like the small ones, they will change it for you." ”

"I heard that this Luoxian Building is a good restaurant in Beijing, with a total of four floors, how do you know that I can come to the second floor?" Shen Lian said with a smile.

"The guest laughed, you are dressed in a small way and will not look away, it is Rui Chengxiang's ready-to-wear clothes in Beijing, and ordinary people can't afford to wear it." The shopkeeper replied.

"Aren't you afraid that I have found such a special body to eat the overlord meal?" Shen Lian looked at the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper shook his head: "Don't joke about the guests, even such a villain has to admire one or two, being able to buy clothes from Rui Chengxiang, for the sake of the overlord meal is really a bit of a bloody investment." ”

"It's clever, let's just go here, and serve a few specialty dishes." Shen Lian said.

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Guest, you are here today, Zhao Niangzi still has a place today, can the guest try it?" ”

Shen Lian nodded, and when the shopkeeper saw this, he hurriedly nodded and went to the counter to report. Shen Lian looked at the surrounding environment, the second floor was not as noisy as the first floor, but if he listened carefully, he could still hear the conversation next door. Even so, it is much better than the private rooms of most restaurants in Beijing. Thinking about the third and fourth floors above, Shen Lian was still a little curious and expectant.

The dish was extremely fast, and Shen Lian didn't wait long. Just looking at the dishes made people's appetite move, and they took a mouthful of food and put it in their mouths, Shen Lian's eyes lit up, this Zhao Niangzi's cooking is really good, she has been away for so many years, not to mention eating all the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and she has also tasted a few famous dishes, but what Zhao Niangzi did was no worse than the imperial kitchen in the palace.

Seeing that the guests were satisfied, the shopkeeper smiled and said: "The guests eat slowly, the small ones go down first, and you can pull the rope on the pillar over there if there is anything." Following the direction pointed by Xiao Er, Shen Lian glanced at it, and saw that Xiao Er turned around to leave, so he said, "Is your shopkeeper here?" ”

The shopkeeper was a little puzzled, and replied: "I don't know if the guest is looking for the shopkeeper Zhao?" ”

Shen Lian was puzzled, Luoxian Lou was replaced? He shook his head and said, "I'm not looking for Shopkeeper Zhao, I'm looking for Li Xiandao, Shopkeeper Li." ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he smiled and said, "It turned out to be President Li, who was here, and I don't know what important things the guests have." ”

Shen Lian took out a sign from his waist and put it on the table, and said to the shopkeeper: "You hand him the sign, and say that I want to see him." The shopkeeper picked up the sign and looked at it, it was a black sign, and the things engraved on it looked very scary, and the shopkeeper didn't dare to slack off: "Wait a minute, the guest will go and report." ”

Li Xiandao looked at the sign in his hand, a little puzzled, he was not old when he came to Beijing, he had never seen the brand in front of him, but he had heard someone mention it. The sign is engraved with a hedgehog, which is a unique symbol of the Ministry of Officials. Li Xiandao couldn't understand why the officials found him, and he couldn't make up his mind, Li Xiandao looked at the shopkeeper and asked, "Did that guest say anything?" ”

The shopkeeper shook his head: "I only gave a sign, and I didn't say anything." ”

"Go down, I'll be over in a moment." Li Xiandao thought for a while, got up and went to Shen Lian's private room. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Shen Lian putting down his chopsticks, Li Xiandao glanced at the dishes on the table first, saw that most of them had been moved, and said with a smile: "Are you satisfied with what you eat?" In the whereabouts of the immortal building shopkeeper Li Xiandao, I don't know the guest's surname? ”

Shen Lian nodded: "The dish is good, in the next Shen Lian, I will bother President Li." ”

"Lord Shen can come, because the small shop is full of brilliance, and the hospitality is not thoughtful and looks at Haihan. I don't know what's the matter with adults looking for them? Li Xiandao asked.

"President Li should sit down first." Shen Lian pointed to the seat opposite him and said, and when Li Xiandao sat down, Shen Lian said, "You came to the Immortal Building from the south a month ago, but are you still there?" ”

Li Xiandao chuckled in his heart, Yasukuni Gong said before leaving, no matter who mentions Lin Jia and Shen Yue, they will push them over, and the person in front of him is here for these two people? Just about to open his mouth to deny it, he saw Shen Lianyi stretch out his hand and said: "President Li, don't be in a hurry to speak, there is no malice in the next place, I want to explain to you before I come to Yasukuni and leave." I can tell you that I have come by command. As he spoke, he pointed to the heavens.

Li Xiandao suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, he naturally knew who Shen Lian was referring to, he didn't expect that the matter of those two people could alarm the person above, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, Li Xiandao weighed it, nodded and said: "Lin Jia and Shen Yue did settle in my Luoxian Building." ”

Shen Lian nodded and said, "I don't know if President Li can call her and the two of them over to talk, I have something to ask." ”

"I'll call them." As soon as he got up, Li Xiandao realized that there was something wrong with the conversation here, and said, "Please Lord Shen move upstairs and be quiet." ”

Shen Lian nodded, got up and went to the third floor, while Li Xiandao went to the backyard to find Lin Jia and the others. Seeing that President Li was in a hurry, Shen Yue asked, "Uncle Li, but what's the matter?" ”

Li Xiandao took a breath a little, and then said, "The palace sent someone here, saying that he wanted to see the two of you." ”

Shen Yue and Lin Jia glanced at each other, they didn't expect that the matter would be so big, how could it alarm the palace. Lin Jia slowed down a little and said, "Uncle Li, wait a minute, let's go over." ”

"In the third floor of the ground number room, the adult's surname is Shen, you speak carefully, he is a member of the ministry." Li Xiandao settled down.

"Got it, Uncle Li." Lin Jia said.

Lin Jia and the two came very quickly, as soon as the two entered the door, Shen Lian's eyes lit up, looking at Lin Jia, at that moment he almost thought that the Xue family was making a move for this person.

Coughing lightly to hide his embarrassment, Shen Lian spoke first: "Two of you sit down." ”

Gently made a blessing, and Lin Jia and the two sat down. Shen Lian looked at the two and said, "In the lower Shen Lian, among the Qing officials, I have seen two of them. ”

"I've seen Lord Shen, I don't know what Lord Shen wants to do with the two of us." Lin Jia asked.

Unexpectedly, Shen Lian startled the two as soon as he spoke, and Shen Lian said: "I just got the news that Feng Ning, the prefect of Zhenjiang, is dead. Shen Yue said slowly: "The sky really has eyes. ”

Shen Lian glanced at Shen Yue, and then said: "I am under the order, and now I am the new prefect of Zhenjiang, and I have something to ask you when I call you now." ”

When Lin Jia and the others heard this, they hurriedly got up and knelt on the ground: "Please also ask your lord to be the master of the Shen and Lin families, then Feng Ning used his power to ruin my two families, and the woman had to go to this capital land." I hope that the adults will be clear. ”

"Hurry up, this official will make decisions for you, but there is one more important matter to ask you now." Shen Lian said.

"Please make it clear." Lin Jia said.

"I've learned a little before, Feng Ning convicted the two of you for secretly possessing tribute, I want to ask, is there such a thing?" Shen Lian asked.

"That's just Feng Ning's excuse, he is doing things for the Xue family, and the Xue family has taken a fancy to a painting of my husband's family." Lin Jia said.

"A painting? Can you tell me what kind of painting it is? Shen Lian asked.

Lin Jia glanced at Shen Yue and saw that he had no objection, so he said, "Wait a minute, my lord, this painting is on us right now, I'll go get it and you'll take a look." ”

Shen Lian nodded, thinking that he had guessed correctly, the Shen family's painting was in the capital. Shen Yue came back quickly, seeing him unfold the painting scroll, Shen Lian frowned, this painting is extremely ordinary, if it is said that it is famous all over the world, except that the withdrawal is a celebrity, this painting is really ordinary tight.

Looking at the painting, Shen Lian wondered, "Is this what the Xue family is for?" ”

Lin Jia nodded, Shen Lian looked at the painting carefully, and still couldn't see any clues, his hand turned around on the painting scroll, and he saw that the lines didn't move, and it didn't look like he was hiding this thing. Signaling Shen Yue to put away the painting, Shen Lian began to think about why the Xue family was clinging to a painting. But no matter how you think about it, I can't think of a reason, could it be that the Xue family has changed its taste?

"This painting is an heirloom of the Shen family?"

"Yes, that's what my husband said." Lin Jia nodded. Shen Lian's suspicion was even heavier, an ordinary painting was so valued by the two families, and he didn't see the mystery in it, so he could only say: "You should put away this painting carefully, and don't show it to others." As for the affairs of the Shen family's family, I will go to Zhenjiang Mansion to discuss with the Yasukuni Prince. ”

Seeing that Lin Jia was a little anxious, Shen Lian comforted: "There is no danger for the two of you at the moment, and you are still in prison, but the Duke of Yasukuni has already protected it very thoroughly, and the Xue family is still in some trouble." You stay in Beijing with peace of mind first, Zhenjiang is too dangerous at the moment. ”

"Thank you, sir, please send a letter to the Yasukuni Gong, the grace of saving lives and the Shen Lin family will not dare to forget." Lin Jia knew that Shen Lian was right, it was useless to be anxious at the moment, and when he returned to Zhenjiang, he was afraid that he would not be able to help him with anything, and he would affect many people.

Shen Lian nodded, signaling that he knew, and then got up to say goodbye. When he saw that painting today, he always felt a little strange, but he couldn't think of anything wrong for a while, but since the Xue family wanted it, he couldn't follow their wishes.
