Huangfu Heng just knew that it was the king of Lanling County who helped Wujin at a critical moment, he was extremely puzzled, the king of Lanling County has never participated in any party struggle in the imperial court, this is a fact known to everyone in the court, and he has been an envoy of the Helong Festival for decades, and he is a lieutenant, it is impossible for him not to know that this tax and silver battle is a manifestation of the white-hot battle between the East Palace and the King of Chu, why would he rather offend Uncle Shen Guo than help himself, this is not in line with his principle of keeping a low profile and not participating in the power struggle of the imperial court, why is this? Why should he help himself.

Huang Fuheng's eyes glanced at Li Yingwu, he had always respected this staff member, Li Yingwu saw the problem more thoroughly than himself, "Sir, tell me, why is this?" ”

Li Yingwu knew what the prince was going to ask, he was also pondering, he also felt a little strange, just now the king of Lanling County did not refuse politely, but did not hesitate to refuse the prince's invitation, since he has such a clear attitude, then why should he help the prince?

He pondered for a moment and said slowly: "My subordinates are thinking, maybe it's because of Wu Jin. ”

"For the sake of Wu Jin?"

Huangfu Heng was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"The subordinates are just a guess, because the subordinates found out that he was very concerned about Wujin, although he himself refused to get on the prince's ship, but he insisted that Wujin take it away, until he knew that Wujin's eldest brother was also on the ship, he gave up, and his subordinates felt that this was the case, he helped because of Wujin, not because of the prince."

Huang Fuheng's eyes widened, he felt a little unimaginable, the dignified King of Lanling County would offend Uncle Shen Guo for a hairy young man who met for the first time? Change your own principles? This is a bit of a bizarre.

"Do you think it's possible, sir?"

Li Yingwu nodded, "My subordinates think it's possible!" ”

Huangfu Heng sat down slowly, Li Yingwu was so solemnly affirmed, there must be his sake, he didn't feel funny in his heart, pondered for a moment, his eyelids raised, and his sharp gaze looked directly at Li Yingwu.

Li Yingwu smiled slightly, "Your Highness, your subordinates also thought of it just now, did Your Highness forget?" What is Wu Jin's full name? ”

"The emperor has no promotion!"

Huangfu Heng read it again, and a bolt of lightning pierced his mind, and he suddenly understood, 'Donghai Huangfu Clan! ’

"I understand, yes, it is said that the king of Lanling County had a good personal relationship with the Donghai Huangfu clan when he was young, so that's the case!"

Huang Fuheng finally realized that this was the case, although it was still a little far-fetched, but this was the only convincing reason, and at this time, a thought came out of his heart at this time.

'So..... Can Wujin become a bridge between him and the king of Lanling? ’

．．．．．．．． An hour later, in Uncle Shen's study, the atmosphere was a little tense, Uncle Shen sat on the Taishi chair behind the table, his eyes gloomily stared at a middle-aged man who looked like a businessman to identify the silver ticket, the middle-aged man is called Zhu Wensheng, is the chief shopkeeper of Qi Dafu Village, is the second person in Qi Dafu Village, although he has a noble status in Qi Dafu, but he is nothing in front of Uncle Shen, he is following the master to come.

Behind him stood Qi Wei, the proprietor of Qi Dafu Qianzhuang, that is, the second child of the Qi family, he was the second son of the old proprietor of Qi, and was in charge of Qianzhuang in the Qi family, with a very high status, he had just received a call from Uncle Shen, and rushed to Uncle Guo's mansion, he was also looking at the neat ten stacks of silver tickets on the table, he took a general look, and did not see that there was a problem, and there was no difference between the silver tickets they usually issued, so it must be identified by the big shopkeeper.

On the left side of Qi Wei stood Shao Jingwen, who rushed back from Yanshi County, Uncle Shen's caution made him feel a little uneasy, he thought that these silver tickets should not be fake, not to mention that Qi Dafu's silver tickets he had touched more than once, he had a feel, and more importantly, at the moment when the dark-skinned woman was about to lose her head, Huangfu Wujin didn't dare to risk giving him fake tickets again, he didn't believe that Wujin had the guts.

But the careful identification of the shopkeeper of Qi still made him very uneasy.

"These silver tickets are fake!"

Zhu Wensheng finally spoke, he said slowly, but very resolutely, "I'm sure that these silver tickets are all fake!" ”

The words were shocked, Shao Jingwen's face turned pale, and even Uncle Shen couldn't hold his breath, 'Teng! He stood up and shouted, "Where is the falsehood?" ”

Qi Wei said nervously and uneasily: "Chief shopkeeper, you have to see clearly, don't be careless!" ”

Zhu Wensheng nodded, "Proprietor, I know, so I am very careful, these silver tickets are indeed very realistic, the paper is exactly the same, there are also colored lines, if you don't identify carefully, you really can't distinguish it, our silver tickets can see seven color lines in the light, and these silver tickets can only see five, this is where the counterfeiters did not completely succeed." ”

"Really?"

Uncle Shen Guo stepped forward, he didn't believe it, so he took out one from the silver ticket, and took out a real Qi Dafu thousand taels of silver tickets from his drawer, put the two silver tickets in the light to compare, he really saw the color line, he squinted his eyes and counted it twice, he also found that his silver ticket was seven color lines, and the silver ticket that Shao Jingwen brought back only five lines, he frowned, turned around and asked: "What if there is a problem with the printing?" ”

Zhu Wensheng shook his head, "There can be no problem, for so many years, there has not been a problem with a ticket, and there is circumstantial evidence." ”

"What circumstantial evidence?"

"Uncle Hui Guo, after the issuance of more than 1,000 taels of silver tickets of Qi Dafu, the silver ticket number will be reported to the headquarters of the capital immediately, these silver tickets are issued by Donghai County, although they are eligible to print silver tickets, but for more than a month, I have not received a thousand taels of silver tickets to be reported, no, but there are 100,000 taels of silver ticket numbers reported."

"What!" Uncle Shen suddenly understood, he turned his head and glared at Shao Jingwen, Shao Jingwen was sweating profusely, he knelt down, "Dereliction of duty, please punish Uncle Guo!" ”

Uncle Shen snorted heavily, there are outsiders here, he is not good at attacking, but at this time he has an idea in his heart, he sat back in his seat, took out an invitation card from the drawer, and said lightly to Qi Wei: "This was sent by your Qi family yesterday, and in a few days it will be your old man Qi's seventieth birthday, right!" ”

Qi Wei bowed down and said, "Yes!" Please come to Uncle Guo, the Qi family is very honored! ”

"It's okay to let me go, but I have one condition."

"Please Uncle Guo say bluntly, if the Qi family can do it, they will definitely do it."

"You can do it, and you can do it easily."

Uncle Shen glanced at the fake silver ticket on the table, and said with a smile: "Don't you have the number of the one hundred thousand taels of silver tickets?" Notify the national branch that all the 100 silver tickets refused to be cashed! ”

"This ....." Qi Wei was stunned, how could this be possible!

"What! Don't grant my request? Uncle Shen stared at him sharply.

Sweat oozed from Qi Wei's forehead, it was impossible for him to agree, and he had no right to agree, freezing one hundred thousand taels of normal silver tickets, and it was the prince's silver ticket, what did it mean, he knew very well in his heart.

"I want to ask the head of the family for instructions on this matter, and ask Uncle Guo to give us time."

"Okay!"

Uncle Shen agreed, "Before noon tomorrow, I need your official answer!" ”

After a pause, he added, "You can take these fake silver tickets back." ”

．．．．．．．．． Qi Wei and Zhu Wensheng retreated, and there were only three people left in the study, in addition to Uncle Shen and Shao Jingwen, there was also Uncle Shen's staff Cao Jianguo, who stood aside and kept silent.

Uncle Shen Guo glanced at Shao Jingwen again, he slapped the table heavily, and said angrily: "Did I let you stand up?" ”

Shao Jingwen was frightened for a while, and he knelt down again, "Guilty of despicability!" ”

"I used thousands of people, and I didn't hesitate to contact the pirates, I thought you could get things done for me, but in the end you took a pack of fake silver tickets to pay for it, which is good! I am very satisfied with the work done by the embroidered clothes! ”

Uncle Shen's voice was extremely stern, this time he was so humiliated by defeat, he could imagine how the prince should laugh at him, "You disappointed me so much!" ”

Cao Jianguo, a staff member on the side, finally spoke, and he made it clear for Shao Jingwen, "Uncle Guo, General Shao did see the silver ticket on the spot, because the prince's ship was less than three hundred steps away, and he really didn't have time to look at it carefully, besides, his subordinates had also seen the silver ticket just now, and his subordinates couldn't see it, not to mention that Shao Jingwen was on the river, and the time was so urgent, he couldn't be blamed, he could only say that the opponent was too cunning, please let Uncle Guo be angry!" ”

"The opponent is cunning? No! You're covering up this person's incompetence. ”

Uncle Shen Guo didn't buy it, he took two steps behind his back, stared at Shao Jingwen and said, "Do you want to say that it's not that you are incompetent, but that the opponent is too cunning?" ”

Of course, Shao Jingwen didn't dare to say that Wujin was cunning, he knew that Uncle Shen Guo would not accept a seventeen-year-old boy to defeat him no matter what, and if he said it, it would only make him suffer more, so he lowered his head.

"Don't dare to be lowly, in fact, it is the king of Lanling County who is helping the other party, if he hadn't hidden and threatened, the lowly position would have caught the other party a long time ago."

This excuse Uncle Shen Guo can still accept, his face softened slightly, and he sat down again, "You stand up!" ”

Shao Jingwen stood up, and he whispered again: "It's really strange to be lowly, the attitude of the king of Lanling County was very tough at that time, and I was not allowed to go up to the second floor to search, I said to give face to Uncle Guo, he didn't buy it, and said that although he was old, he raised his arms and shouted, and there was still an army that would stand up for him." ”

"Did he really say that?"

Uncle Shen's eyes also flashed with a hint of surprise, with the low profile of the king of Lanling County, he would say such hard words, but Uncle Shen Guo didn't expect it, he looked at Shao Jingwen with some doubts, could it be that this person deliberately made the problem serious in order to clear his responsibility?

Shao Jingwen Bai Shenguo's suspicion, he replied affirmatively: "Yes!" That's what he said, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense, and I was not the only one who heard it, and many soldiers of the embroidered guards were present. ”

Uncle Shen nodded, his suspicion just now was just a habitual thinking on his part, but Shao Jingwen never lied, he believed it.

"It's really strange that the King of Lanling would say such hard words?"

Cao Jianguo next to him whispered: "Could it be that Zhang Chongjun's personal soldiers were discovered by them, so they are dissatisfied with us?" ”

"It's possible!"

Recently, Uncle Shen's eyes were fixed on the 200,000 army of Zhang Chongjun, in order to make the king of Chu ascend the throne, he must obtain the support of the army, a few months ago, he wanted to marry his niece Shen Ruyi to Zhang Chongjun's second son, the two marriages, but was rejected by Zhang Chongjun, Uncle Shen Guo hated, bent on Zhang Chongjun down, he did not hesitate to spend 10,000 taels of silver to buy Zhang Chongjun's two personal soldiers, for him to collect evidence that Zhang Chongjun may rebel or collude with foreign races, but these evidence was not found, But found evidence that Zhang Chongjun still missed the overthrown Emperor Jin'an forty years ago, which made Uncle Shen overjoyed, he had let two of Zhang Chongjun's personal soldiers return to Beijing quickly, maybe it was really because of this incident, isn't Zhang Chongjun the son-in-law of the king of Lanling County?

"The king of Lanling County secretly helps the prince, this is a warning to us, if Zhang Chongjun is not overthrown, it is very likely that they will really take refuge in the prince, and we will lose more than we gain."

Speaking of this, Uncle Shen Guo instructed Shao Jingwen again, "You immediately go to pick up those two personal soldiers, don't make any mistakes, remember, get the evidence, and kill me immediately!" ”

Cao Jianguo was stunned, "Didn't Uncle Guo leave a certificate?" ”

Uncle Shen Guo shook his head, "Evidence is enough, you can't keep a witness, they are Zhang Chongjun's personal soldiers, as long as the outside world puts the slightest pressure on them, they will definitely overturn the case, the complexity of the surname, I can see through it better than you." ”

Shao Jingwen bowed to the ground, "I understand the lowly position, and the lowly position must be guilty of meritorious service!" ”

"Very good, I look forward to your meritorious service!"

Shao Jingwen left in a hurry, and a guard walked to the door to report: "Uncle Guo, the fourth lady is here!" ”

"I was looking for her, let her in!"

In a moment, a ten-year-old young woman walked in from the outside, beautiful and enchanting, her every move, every look had a kind of charm that scratched her bones, she was Shen Ruyi, the youngest daughter of Shen Guo's second brother Xijing who stayed in Shenji, eighteen years old this year, and has not yet married.

She inherited the charm of her aunt Queen Shen, but she is taller than her aunt, and more importantly, she is young, her skin is as clear as jade, and she is very rich, she is an extremely important chess piece of the Shen family.

Last month, Queen Shen was unwell, the palace doctor diagnosed it as a happy pulse, Queen Shen was pregnant again, so that the Shen family was extremely happy, but Uncle Shen Guo saw further, in the long time when Queen Shen was pregnant to give birth, she could not have sex with the emperor, this time will have a lot of changes, there will be a harem to take away Queen Shen's sole favor, which will be a big crisis for the Shen family, Uncle Shen Guo thought of Shen Ruyi's move, according to the rules of the palace, the harem is pregnant, and the mother's family can send someone to take care of it, Uncle Shen decided to let Shen Ruyi take care of her aunt.

"Ruyi participates in the uncle!"

Shen Ru intended to give a salute to Shen Guo's uncle Yingying, and the autumn waves turned, and he smiled in his bones.

Uncle Shen Guo glanced at Cao Jianguo next to him, and saw that he was looking at Shen Ruyi blankly, with a look of intoxication in his eyes, he nodded secretly, very good, this is what he wants, his niece is becoming more and more the best stunner in the world.

"Ruyi, from tonight onwards, you go to take care of your aunt for three hours every day, and then come back, do you understand what I mean?"

Shen Ruyi smiled lightly, "My niece understands that my niece will bring the news of my uncle to my aunt in time." ”

Well! Not only is it charming, but Bing Xue is smart, Uncle Shen Guo nodded, took out a text message and handed it to her, "Give this letter to your aunt, and say that I will ask her to find the emperor as soon as possible." ”

"Yes!"

Shen Ruyi took the letter, "Then the niece will enter the palace." ”

"Go ahead!"

Uncle Shen looked at his niece with a smile and went out, Cao Jianguo came back to his senses, his face flushed, and he hurriedly covered up his gaffe, "Uncle Guo hasn't gotten Zhang Chongjun's evidence yet, so he wants to tell the emperor?" ”

"Mr. Cao!"

Uncle Shen Guo lengthened his voice with some dissatisfaction, "Don't you still understand my intentions?" "Uncle Shen Guo is testing the emperor's attitude towards Zhang Chongjun, his staff can't understand his intentions, which really makes him dissatisfied, just a woman, is he there?
