After all, the other party is a member of the third rank of the imperial court, and Su Baiyi himself also has a lot of "origins" with the Shen family, so he personally went out and received the head of the Shen family in the living room of the third courtyard.

Shen Zheng was wearing a blue shirt, not tall or short, the whole person was slightly fat, and after seeing Su Baiyi, he was very respectful, and he didn't dare to slack off and salute, a little trembling.

It stands to reason that Shen Zheng is the nephew of the Shen family, and his father Shen Li is the second assistant of the former cabinet.

But the situation is stronger than people, and he really had to come today.

Mother is crying and making trouble at home, isn't it for the unruly grandson Shen Tingyu at home?

"Lord Shen, don't come unharmed?" Su Baiyi didn't have a good impression of Shen Zheng, but he also didn't have a too harsh impression.

At the beginning, he was a gentleman in the Shen Mansion, but was later dismissed by Shen Zheng. Others thought that Su Baiyi had suffered great humiliation, but in fact, it was not, in his opinion, this was a very normal thing.

Isn't it just that he was fired by his boss? In the last life, we didn't dismiss others, okay.

The boss can't look down on everyone when you want to change people, and the Shen Mansion didn't treat him badly, after all, he also gave a very generous compensation when he left, a full three hundred taels of silver.

So from this point of view, Su Baiyi thinks that the Shen family is still a good boss.

"Lord Lao Su remembers, Shen Zheng is fine!" Shen Zheng respectfully saluted him again.

Su Baiyi said: "Don't be so polite, Lord Shen sit down!" He looked outside again and shouted, "Tea!" ”

The new maid outside came in with a teapot, helped Su Baiyi and Shen Zheng each make a cup of fragrant tea, and then retreated silently, but at the moment of withdrawal, the maid raised her eyes and looked at Su Baiyi, as if there was spring light melting in her eyes, which made Su Baiyi, who was caught off guard, feel like an electric shock.

You were caught off guard and flashed Lao Tzu's waist!

In this regard, he could only smile helplessly!

Since the addition of subordinates to the house, Su Baiyi's whole person feels weird, no matter where he goes, whether it is a maid or a servant in the house, looking at him is like a tiger looking at a little sheep, and a widow of thirty years looking at a handsome little offspring.

Su Baiyi had a feeling that he was accidentally swallowed into his stomach by the people in the family, and then there was no scum left.

At the beginning, he wondered if Zhou Shipu had any nerve wrong and deliberately found a few hooves for himself, but later he slowly understood that it was a big misunderstanding.

It was indeed a big misunderstanding!

I don't know when, there was a rumor in the Su family compound, saying that as long as the subordinates did a good job and got the master's appreciation, the slave could turn over and sing in a minute, and the maid could become the master and live in the inner courtyard of the Su family compound.

This word is not only spread in the Su family, but even the people in Guide Mansion know it.

In the past few days, people have been bringing their handsome daughters to the Su family to inquire, but they want to accept maids!

Su Baiyi could only be extremely depressed!

Speaking of which, it was all caused by the two girls Chunyan and Li Qing who were promoted to the masters of the Su family after recognizing them as righteous sisters.

A small thing changes the taste when it reaches the ears of people outside, and it also has a butterfly effect.

It was only now that Su Baiyi realized a problem: at the bottom of the Ming Dynasty, where materials were extremely scarce, as a high-ranking person, his influence on his words and deeds was huge, even to the point where he could lead the trend of the times.

He also somewhat understood why "the king of Chu has a thin waist", and then he was able to starve to death in the palace.

In addition to the palace, I'm afraid there are many people who starve to death, right?

"Shen has eyes and doesn't know gold and jade, he neglected the adult that day, and please invite the adult Haihan!" Shen Zheng looked at Su Baiyi's gaze staring at the departing girl, as if he didn't pay attention to his guest at all, so he couldn't sit still, hurriedly stood up and bowed his hand to Su Baiyi again, and by the way, he groped out a stack of silver tickets from his sleeve and handed it to Su Baiyi: "Shen is taking up a job outside, and the joy of Ping Dongbo's promotion has not been able to catch up, after returning to his hometown this time, my mother instructed me in every possible way, be sure to prepare the last He Yi, and hope that my lord Haihan!" ”

After saying two "Haihans" in a paragraph, Su Baiyi's eyes finally fell on this Shen Sibo.

To be honest, it was one thing for him not to care about Shen Fu dismissing him, but seeing that this "Shen Sibo" didn't like it, he frowned and said: "Lord Shen is serious, Su can't afford to be an adult's courtesy, please take it back." Of course, don't think about it. Su Mou has always admired Shen Ge Lao, and Lord Shen doesn't need to be like this. ”

This sentence has been made very clear: I am not familiar with you, but you don't have to worry, although Lao Tzu is very unhappy with you, but your father is a character, for the sake of his old man's face, Lao Tzu will not be okay to trouble you.

Who is Shen Zheng?

has been in the officialdom for more than 20 years, and can naturally hear the meaning of Su Baiyi's words!

If it had been in normal times, he would have found a reason to get up and say goodbye.

Not today!

Shen Tingyu's participation in the murder of the imperial court officials is bound to die, but such an uncompetitive guy is not only stupid enough to work for the civil official group, but also implicates the entire family.

With the little favor of the dead father, plus the countless gold and silver spent. The Shen family finally "convinced" the main officials of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, bought off the imperial history of the Imperial Procuratorate and the Criminal Department to give the matter, and even the main eunuchs in the palace were also filial piety, the purpose was to try to make Shen Tingyu's affairs less implicated in the Shen family.

But there's still one more level to pass!

That's Su Baiyi's level.

Su Baiyi is a victim, and he is also a victim who has won the emperor's favor, if this guy has to make a fuss about Shen Tingyu, then Shen Tingyu's family will definitely be implicated.

The male in the family was filled with the army and exiled for 3,000 miles, and the female dependents were admitted to the Nanjing Teaching Division, and since then they have been merged into the Goulan for others to play with!

Their Shen family can't afford to lose this person!

"Please Lord Su must accept it, this is a little bit of my mother's heart!" Shen Zheng was respectful, and the dignified third-grade senior member stood in front of Su Baiyi with a stack of silver tickets in his hand, begging others to accept the gift. He is naturally aggrieved in his heart, with his current status, although there is still a lot of gap between him and his late father, but even so, when facing the cabinet chief, he doesn't have to be so low-minded and lose the face of a scholar.

"I got the heart, let's sit down first, speaking of which, you are also my elder, it's boring to stand like this all the time!" Su Baiyi stretched out his hand and pushed back the silver ticket in Shen Zheng's hand, and waited for Shen Zheng, who was disgraced, to sit on the seat before he sighed and said, "You are here for Shen Tingyu, right?" ”

Everyone is not stupid, they know it.

"Shen is ashamed of such a thing!" Shen Zheng arched his hand and said: "At that time, Shen Tingyu was coerced by Wang Daochun, the governor of Shandong, and he didn't know that it was Lord Su in the ship, so he ordered the Dengzhou sailors to attack the merchant ships, which ...... This is ...... No matter what Master Su thinks, it's actually really a misunderstanding! ”

"Misunderstanding?" Su Baiyi said: "Okay, according to what you said, Shen Tingyu didn't know that there was an official on the ship, but he at least knew that it was a merchant ship, right?" At least know that there are innocent people on board, right? When he ordered the fire to be set on fire, did he know that there were merchants and sailors on this ship, and did he know that those merchants and sailors all had families? ”

Su Baiyi's words were very soft, and his tone was also very indifferent.

But every sentence was like a giant hammer hitting Shen Zheng's heart, making him unable to deal with it.

"So!" Su Baiyi said softly: "Self-inflicted, don't live!" Lord Shen is also an official figure, and he should be able to understand the system of the imperial court, so do you think that if you come to me to intercede, Shen Tingyu will be able to get out of the prison of the Criminal Department? ”

"Not really!" Shen Zhengzheng said: "Shen Tingyu should be damned, and the lower officials will naturally not defend him." Xia Guan came this time, and there was indeed a reluctant invitation! Shen Zheng knelt down in front of Su Baiyi with a plop, and burst into tears: "Lord Su, Shen Tingyu is as stupid as a pig, and if he enters that Wang Daochun, he is innocent of death." Pity my Shen family. ”

"Lord Shen, get up!" Su Baiyi probably understood what Shen Zheng meant.

"Lord Su!" Shen Zheng not only didn't get up, but tears flowed even more: "Xiaguan Yuan died, but why is my Shen family innocent?" My mother is more than eighty years old, and Xiaohu, Xiaolong, Mei Xin, Mei Shuang, they are innocent, Master Su, Mr. Su, are they still your students? You can't die without help! ”

Su Baiyi took a deep breath!

Oh, yes!

Shen Tingyu was stupid and greedy, but the entire Shen family was implicated.

Xiaohu is still a child, how can he be exiled for three thousand miles?

Mei Xin is still a teenage girl, and she also wants to be thrown into the hook bar by the Teaching Workshop Division to be toyed with?

Su Baiyi felt a dull pain in his heart!

If you haven't seen it, you don't know it.

But these children were still his students, and those lively faces and innocent expressions flashed one by one as if they were in front of him.

How can you bear to let them be implicated?

"They are innocent!" Su Baiyi closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "But if you open your eyes and look at the world, look at the Ming Dynasty, how can you be the only innocent person in the Shen family?" How many sailors died on the ship with the officer? Because the big ship was burned, the boatman had to avoid trouble in Guide Mansion, how much wealth did he lose? Whether these sailors or merchants, aren't their families innocent? ”

Shen Tingyu was arrested, Wang Daochun was arrested, and all the officials involved in this matter were arrested as long as they were exposed, and even the Guozi Sacrificial Wine, the Soldier Squire and the General Political Envoy also committed suicide in fear of crime.

Why?

Because the court wants to investigate, and because he Su Baiyi is the favorite minister of the Son of Heaven!

From beginning to end, who has paid attention to Gu Zhong, the merchant whose ship was burned, and who has ever cared about how many sailors died on the ship?

Mr. Lu Xun is right: I opened the history and checked, this history has no age, and the words 'benevolence, righteousness and morality' are written on every crooked page. I couldn't sleep horizontally and vertically, and I looked carefully for half the night before I could see the words in the cracks, and there were two words written all over the book that were 'cannibalism'..
