At this moment, Shen Xi had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

He vaguely guessed before that there might be something hidden behind the escort of money and grain to the border pass this time, but he never expected that Liu Daxia would go to the border pass in person, doesn't that mean that when Gaoming City was greedy for money and food, Liu Daxia happened to catch it? Isn't this the Ming version of fishing law enforcement?

In addition, Liu Daxia may also have the imperial order, and he just took the opportunity to track down the corruption and arbitrary apportionment and deduction of food and salary by the border generals, so as to properly rectify the border affairs.

"Where is Liu Shangshu now?" Shen Xi asked.

"Liu Shangshu is not in the house...... The first few **** old people complained to His Majesty, saying that they were busy and exhausted for days and needed to recuperate for a while, but some people were extremely jealous of Liu Shangshu, and there were always suspicious people around the mansion. ”

When Yu Niang said this, she glanced at Shen Xi with a smile, "Lord Shen understands?" ”

Shen Xi nodded, of course he knew what was going on.

This is just like when Liu Daxia went to Tingzhou Mansion to arrest An Rusheng, he acted low-key and did not show any traces, looking for someone to take the lead in front, and he was stealth behind the scenes to plan everything, at that time, it was Jiang Liwei who stood on the bright side to attract people's attention, but this time it was Shen Xi who played the role of the original Jiang Liwei.

There was only one thought in Shen Xi's heart: "Oops, it's been used again." ”

This time, Liu Daxia did Shen Xi a favor first, promised to protect the safety of his family and Hui Niang, and escorted Yin Wen to escape from Fuzhou, he owed Liu Daxia a great favor, so he couldn't refuse. It's just that in this matter, he is sandwiched between Liu Daxia and his relatives Zhang's brothers, and it is difficult to get along, after all, Zhang Yanling gave him women and gifts first, and it is basically impossible to completely get rid of them.

In the end, maybe Shen Xi himself will not be spared.

got on the official sedan chair that had been prepared a long time ago, and the party arrived at a single courtyard not far from Shen Xi's mansion, because it was late at night, there was basically no light around, and Shen Xi got down from the sedan chair and had no way to judge the surrounding situation, but looking at the remoteness and quietness of this courtyard, it was about a secret joint point specially arranged by the factory guard or Liu Daxia.

Yu Niang went up and knocked on the door, and someone inside said the right slogan, and then opened the door.

Shen Xi entered it, Yu Niang led the way in front, and the two of them passed through several small courtyards one after another, and came to a side room, before entering the house, they saw a tall, thin and tall figure reflected on the window paper by the light, and the candle flame looked a little dim.

"Lord Shangshu, bring it to Shen Yude." Yu Niang stepped forward and saluted, and said respectfully.

Liu Daxia turned his back to the door, turned around when he heard the words, and motioned for Yu Niang to go out first, Yu Niang saluted and retreated, and when there were only two people left in the room, Liu Daxia waved his hand and said, "Sit." ”

"Students don't dare." Shen Xi said respectfully.

"You're welcome, before you come over, Yu Niang should have told you some information, the old man went to the border this time to follow the team that sent the Franco cannon, and said hello to you in advance, you must not publicize it, let alone let people know, understand?" Liu Daxia's tone was gentle.

Shen Xi saluted respectfully: "The student knows." ”

Liu Daxia smiled: "You are a smart person, and you don't understand a lot of things, which saves you a lot of trouble." In the first few years of the old man's management of military salaries in Xuanfu, he found that there were some black sheep in the frontier, but unfortunately the war in the northwest was becoming increasingly tight at that time, and the old man was unable to do something. ”

"Now Beiguan has been repeatedly committed by the Tatars, the soldiers are slack, and they have no heart to serve the country to the death.

It turned out that Emperor Hongzhi sent Liu Daxia to Beiguan, and Liu Daxia's sick leave was a joint play between the emperor and Liu Daxia.

Shen Xi really wanted to ask, how many people knew about this matter?

If Liu Daxia just wanted to go to the frontier to punish the black sheep in the army, it would be easy, but he was afraid that the Zhang brothers would feel the crisis and obstruct it.

Shen Xi believed that among the targets targeted by Liu Daxia must have included Gaoming City, which had earlier transported money and grain to Beiguan to appease the soldiers.

"I wonder how students can help?" Shen Xi asked.

"You don't have to do anything, just don't leak it. Originally, you don't need to be specially informed about the decay, but if there is no one who knows, someone will find out about the existence of the decay and spread the matter, and it will not end well. ”

Shen Xi nodded.

In fact, it is a very clear thing, Liu Daxia wants to mix in the escort artillery team, and those entourages can be interpreted as those sent by the imperial court to help escort them, but Liu Daxia is an old minister no matter how he says, and many people know him, even if he has been hiding in the carriage, he still has to eat, drink, and Lazar, right? It's easy to be identified.

Someone must be outside to cover it up, and Shen Xi, as the person in charge, is undoubtedly the best candidate.

Shen Xi thought to himself: "It's not difficult for me to help you cover, I'm afraid that after you get to the border, you will use me as a gun...... Gao Mingcheng thinks that he is in the same group as me, and the Zhang brothers may not be able to arrange any tasks for me, but I want to help you arrest corrupt officials and corrupt officials, then I will be squeezed into a pancake if I am caught in the middle! ”

Shen Xi remained silent and bowed deeply: "The student respectfully obeys Liu Shangshu's orders, and will never expose your secrets." ”

……

……

Liu Daxia didn't say much to Shen Xi, which was in line with Liu Daxia's character.

Shen Xi came out of the courtyard, and Yu Niang drove the carriage to send Shen Xi back to the gate of the mansion before saying goodbye and leaving. In Shen Xi's opinion, Yu Niang will follow him more on this trip, and even never leave him, closely monitoring him.

Liu Daxia is cautious in his work.

In the past, Emperor Hongzhi had always used him as a firefighter, and Liu Daxia was sent to deal with any problems, and Liu Daxia did not live up to high expectations, and he did a very good job, and his good name was spread everywhere, which is also the fundamental reason why Liu Daxia was known as the three gentlemen of Hongzhi...... This person is too capable of doing things!

But such a strong figure is a huge threat to Shen Xi, because his current situation is a tightrope walker. He didn't plan to take refuge in Liu Daxia, nor did he want to take refuge in Shou Ninghou, but both sides felt that he was their own person, and while they relaxed their vigilance against him, they also stepped up their use of him, for fear that they would end up in a conflict and couldn't get out of it.

"Didn't the minister say that the officials received the official documents, why did they come back so late?"

Shen Xi returned to his yard, drank a little wine and was a little dizzy, plus he was thinking about things all the way in the carriage, he was in a trance, and when he heard the voice, he looked sideways, Zhu Shanwu, who was playing the lantern, yawned to himself, and in front of the moon gate in the inner courtyard behind her, Xie Yun'er stood there with a concerned face, watching him enter the door.

"It's true that I've been promoted, but it's still from the fifth grade." Shen Xi's face was calm.

"The official product has not been promoted, so what is it called a promotion? Don't be annoyed, in fact, the official has been promoted fast enough in the past two years. Xie Yun'er said a few words of comfort, but she was a little disappointed in her own heart, as a woman, of course, she wants her husband to become a Chan, and the bigger the official, the better.

Shen Xi smiled and said, "My face is not very good-looking, that's because I went to the Hanlin Academy to report on my work, and I ended up having a few more drinks with some colleagues." The official character has not been promoted, but it is indeed promoted, from the Hanlin revision to the Hanlin attendant, and in the future, he will be the day lecturer, entering and leaving the palace to give lectures for His Majesty. ”

"Huh!?"

Xie Yun'er has talent and knowledge, she knew a lot about being an official before, and after listening to Shen Xi, she immediately smiled, "It turns out that Xianggong is teasing concubines, being a waiter and a daily official, what kind of official qualities do you need, isn't this more pleasing than being promoted to the fourth or third grade?" ”

Shen Xi said: "You can't say that, only when the official product is promoted, Yu Lu will be promoted, otherwise our whole family may be hungry." ”

Xie Yun'er scolded angrily, gently pushed Shen Xi, beckoned Zhu Shan to lead Shen Xi, and gave Shen Xi a hot meal in the kitchen.

Shen Xi entered Xie Yun'er's room, Xie Yun'er brought the food in, and said, "The princess goes out early and returns late, and the concubine and Dai'er's sister are very concerned at home. ”

"Really?"

Shen Xi picked up the chopsticks, didn't see Lin Dai, and knew that this little girl had gone back to the room to sleep one step earlier.

"Isn't the prime minister suspicious of the concubine and Dai'er? That little girl, always talking about Xianggong every day, the concubine is also very distressed for her, she has lost her parents since she was a child, and even the portrait of her mother painted by Xianggong for her, she can cry for days when she looks at it......"

Shen Xi looked at the sad Xie Yun'er with some surprise, the relationship between the eldest woman and the concubine is so good? Lin Dai never told the Zhou family about Shen Xi helping her paint her mother, Lin Dai only regarded Lu Xi'er as a sister in the past, and to Xie Yun'er, it was hostile to killing her father.

But now, the inner house is stable, and Xie Yun'er seems to have won Lin Dai's trust, otherwise Lin Dai would not have told Xie Yun'er about such a secret matter.

But it's normal to think about it, Xie Yuner has a few more years of experience in dealing with people, and if she wants to have a good relationship with a little girl, it's not easy?

Maybe a little favor will buy Lin Dai!

"No wonder the first few **** always said that they were unwell, so let me accompany Dai'er more." Shen Xi said with a smile, "I will stay with you today, accompany her tomorrow, and set off for the border the day after tomorrow." I'm not there these days, you and her...... Take care of yourself and don't worry about your husband. ”

"Hmm."

Xie Yun'er looked at Shen Xi with a lot of reluctance, "It's just that I'm not feeling well......"

Although Xiao Biesheng is newly married, but now she is pregnant, her belly is bulging day by day, what she needs most is her husband's care and love, although Shen Xi is younger, but in her eyes she is a man who stands up to the sky, of course she doesn't want Shen Xi to go out at this juncture.

"Xianggong should also take care, the concubine sewed clothes for Xianggong, and when Xianggong has dinner, try to see if it fits." Xie Yun'er went over and picked up a new dress from the bed.

Shen Xi asked in surprise, "Why didn't I see you sewing before?" ”

Xie Yun'er pursed her lips and smiled: "In order not to let Xianggong be disappointed in the craftsmanship of the concubine, I had to secretly sew it while Xianggong was away, and Dai'er's girl also helped a lot. ”

Xie Yun'er took the clothes, Shen Xi touched them, they were really thick, seeing that it was going to be the winter moon, the weather was getting colder and colder, with such a thick dress like a cotton jacket, the trip to Beiguan could be much more comfortable.

"The lady has a heart."

Shen Xi put down the dishes and chopsticks and wanted to stop his waist and pick up Xie Yun'er, but Xie Yun'er deftly avoided him.

"Xianggong, I've tried on clothes first......"

Xie Yun'er didn't continue, Shen Xi had already stepped forward to hug her, and led her strongly and forcefully to the bed. In Shen Xi's opinion, if he can't satisfy his wife in the room, then he will be too much of a failure as a husband.

"Xianggong is becoming more and more serious...... Hmph...... "Xie Yun'er learned from Lin Dai, even when she was shy, she was coquettish with Shen Xi."
