In the early morning, when the sun breaks through the darkness and sprinkles on the earth, the cold winter is also a lot warmer under this sun, which makes people feel comfortable for a while. Standing at the window bathing in the early morning sun, Shen Lan took a big breath of fresh air and said with a smile: "Today is another good weather." ”

Standing behind Shen Lan was Wei Yueqiu, the housekeeper who had followed him for many years, and when he saw Shen Lan's smile, a smile also appeared on his face, and he opened his mouth and said, "As long as the master is in a good mood, everything will be fine." ”

After savoring this sentence for a moment, Shen Lan laughed again and said, "Okay, you are an old Wei, you are knowledgeable, and you can even sell Guanzi, but it's not bad, it's good." ”

Wei Yueqiu laughed with Shen Lan, opened his mouth and said, "I haven't learned from my master for so many years. After a pause at this point, Wei Yueqiu turned around and said, "Master, breakfast is ready." ”

Nodding lightly, Shen Lan didn't speak, turned around and walked towards the hall. Wei Yueqiu had already prepared the meal, the lotus seed porridge and steamed buns were still steaming, and a few dishes of side dishes were fresh and elegant, and Shen Lan's appetite was aroused, but he had just sat down and had not moved his chopsticks, and a guard strode over, attracting the attention of the two.

Walking in front of Shen Lan, the guard bowed and saluted, and said, "Governor Qiyu, the Seventh Prince has come to visit with Lord Wang, and he has arrived at the main hall. ”

Hearing that the Seventh Prince, Chu Haoyu, had come to the Governor's Mansion early in the morning, and had brought Wang Jiangshuo with him, Shen Lan seemed to have thought of something, and immediately stood up and said, "Welcome." ”

When Shen Shu walked to the lobby, Chu Haoyu was already sitting on the main seat, and looking at Chu Haoyu's solemn face, and then looking at the unconcealable joy on Wang Jiangshuo's face, Shen Lan didn't know how he guessed correctly. There was an indescribable sigh in his heart, but Shen Lan bowed to Chu Haoyu with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty will meet Your Royal Highness." ”

With a light wave of his hand, Chu Haoyu said lightly: "Lord Shen doesn't need to be polite, sit down." Seeing Shen Lan sit down, Chu Haoyu then said, "Lord Wang, let's talk about it." ”

Wang Jiangshuo immediately stood up, first saluted Chu Haoyu and said that the lower official had an order, and then bowed to Shen Lan: "The lower official has seen the metropolitan governor. Rushing to the two of them, Wang Jiangshuo straightened up, and then clasped his fists to the sky and saluted and said: "Thanks to the trust of the saint and the seventh prince, he ordered the lower officials to enter Jiangnan to strictly investigate the governance of the Jiangnan Provincial officials. As he spoke, Wang Jiangshuo picked up an account book with both hands and handed it to Shen Lan.

Glancing at Wang Jiangshuo, Shen Lan put his eyes on the account book, which was also stained with a little bloodstain, the blood stains had dried and blackened, but Shen Lan still smelled a smell of blood, and he wanted to know about it. "Lord Wang has worked hard." Not salty or indifferent, Shen Lan took the account book and looked at it, but the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, and the speed was getting faster and faster, and finally he couldn't keep the composure on his face, and his face was frosty.

Seeing the change in Shen Lan's expression, Wang Jiangshuo had a trace of pride in his heart, if it wasn't for Shen Ze's deliberate indulgence, how could Zhang Zhan dare to deal with themselves blatantly, causing them to fold their wings in Pingjiang Mansion, if it weren't for his bitter begging for His Royal Highness, he would have gone to the old age a long time ago, but soon, Wang Jiangshuo covered up his emotions. Shen Lan is the saint's confidant, and the achievements of the ten years in Jiangnan are obvious to all, this time Zheng Yu's case is just the responsibility of negligence, even if Shen Lan pleads guilty, I am afraid that the saint will not say a few words without pain, and he will not be able to bring down Shen Shu at all, not to mention that Wang Jiangshuo vaguely heard that the saint intends to transfer Shen Shu back to the center of the court, but he doesn't know which province to be in charge.

Putting away all his emotions, Wang Jiangshuo said even more respectfully: "Dadu Governor, Xiaguan once served as the governor of Pingjiang Prefecture, and he is familiar with Zheng Taishou's personality, especially Zheng Taishou's close relationship with the clans in Jiangnan, so he aimed at Zheng Taishou, intending to gnaw this hard bone first, and the breakthrough is Zhao Ping." Zhao Ping, as the master and account office of the Pingjiang Mansion, followed Zheng Taishou for 20 years, and was the henchman of Zheng Taishou's henchmen. ”

Shen Lan didn't know Wang Jiangshuo's little tricks, deliberately showed favor to Zhao Ping on various occasions, and once called Zhao Ping into the mansion for a long talk overnight, and at the same time passed out all kinds of corruption and bribery evidence of Zheng Wei in private, and finally let Zheng Yan and Zhao Ping, who seemed to be generous but couldn't rub the sand in their eyes, and finally sent someone to assassinate Zhao Ping, but Wang Jiangshuo was able to get the account book from Zhao Ping's hands, but there were also some means, many things in this world, only look at the results and don't ask about the means.

As if casually looking at the account books, Shen Lan's mind turned dramatically, and he soon made a decision, and opened his mouth to say: "There is such a terrifying thing under the rule, it is the governor of Pontus who has neglected to supervise, and it is hard for Lord Wang." Seventh Prince, look? ”

Under the gaze of Shen Lan and Wang Jiangshuo, Chu Haoyu finally opened his mouth and said lightly: "This is just an account book after all, it is a dead thing, and it is rumored that Zheng Taishou came to confront him." ”

Shen Lan nodded and said, "The governor of Bendu also has this intention, come and pass on Zheng Taishou." ”

When Shen Lan's words fell, an official immediately ran out, and he should have noticed the strangeness of the atmosphere, the official was flying all the way, and soon invited Zheng Wei to the Taishou Mansion. Today, Zheng Wei is wearing a brand-new official uniform, with a tall body, a solemn face, and a strong official authority in his gestures, that is, Chu Haoyu, who also praised in his heart, can face life and death without changing color, only this mind is commendable.

At this moment, Shen Lan and Wang Jiangshuo also noticed the change in Zheng Yu's demeanor, and there was no trace of fear, which made Shen Tang's eyes have a touch of different color, and Wang Jiangshuo was a little disappointed, he tried his best to catch Zheng Yu's handle, but instead of begging for mercy, Zheng Yan showed an arrogant look, which made him angry in his heart, and at the same time scolded in his heart, see how long you can jump.

Walking into the lobby, Zheng Yu bowed down and said, "The lower officials have seen the prince and the governor." ”

Looking at Zheng Yu, Chu Haoyu did not speak, seeing this, Shen Lan opened his mouth and said, "Zheng Taishou does not need to be polite. After a pause at this, Shen Lan continued: "Lord Zheng, do you know what the meaning of the Pondu Governor is calling you here?" ”

Straightening up, Zheng Yu saw the account book on the table, although his heart was a little complicated, but since he stepped into the Taishou Mansion, Zheng Yu had already put down the honor and disgrace of life and death, and quickly came back to his senses, opened his mouth and said: "But because of this account book? ”

Shen Lan nodded, picked up the account book and handed it to Zheng Yu's face, and said, "Zheng Taishou take a look." ”

Seeing that Shen Shu easily handed the account book that he had worked so hard to get to Zheng Yu, Wang Jiangshuo's expression moved as if he was about to open his mouth, but thinking that the Seventh Prince Chu Haoyu and the Metropolitan Governor Shen Lan were there, Wang Jiangshuo did not doubt that Zheng Wei dared to make a move, but stared straight at Zheng Yu, wanting to see what kind of expression he would have, but unfortunately disappointed him.

After taking over the account book, Zheng Wei casually glanced at it and knew that it was Zhao Ping's handwriting, and what was recorded was his own account of corruption and bribery over the years. Therefore, just by glancing at it, Zheng Wei handed back the account book, and said at the same time: "The above records are all true, and the lower official pleaded guilty." At the end of the words, Zheng Yu knelt down, but in order to beg for mercy, he just knelt.

Taking back the account book from Zheng Yu's hand, Shen Lan was silent for a moment and opened his mouth to say: "Since Zheng Taishou confessed, the governor of Bendu will not say more, but you and I have been colleagues for ten years, Zheng Taishou What else do you ask Although I said it, as long as I can supervise it, there is no other word." ”

Hearing Shen Lan say this, a different color flashed in Zheng Yu's eyes, as if he couldn't believe that Shen Lan could still say such a thing under such circumstances. Although the two are colleagues, Zheng Yu, as the Taishou of Pingjiang, gets along with Shen Lan, the governor of the capital, almost day and night, but the relationship seems to be harmonious, but it is not an exaggeration to say that water and fire are incompatible. Zheng Yu is a native of Jiangnan, and has been an official in Jiangnan Province for 30 years, has many disciples, and has a close relationship with the Jiangnan clan, especially after becoming the Taishou of Pingjiang Mansion, he has become the leader of the local faction in Jiangnan, and Shen Lan is the henchman of the saint, and he wants to control the richest place in the world in his hands when he enters Jiangnan, and he is completely snatching food from Zheng Yu's bowl, but Shen Lan is a great talent, and he has already controlled Jiangnan Province in ten years, and the local officials in Jiangnan are much more low-key.

After staring at Shen Lan for a moment, Zheng Yu's face was a little complicated, but he quickly regained his calm, bowed to Shen Lan, and said, "Thank you, the governor of the capital, the lower officials have no requirements." ”

Shen Lan and Zheng Yu's colleagues have been fighting for ten years, and they know him very well, and when they saw Zheng Yu's expression, they knew that he had already arranged the aftermath, and he nodded his head and said: "Since this is the case, this official will no longer talk nonsense." Come, take it down, watch it carefully. ”

With Shen Lan's words, the two silver-armored sergeants strode in, but at this moment, Chu Haoyu waved his hand and said, "Slow." ”

In an instant, everyone looked at Chu Haoyu, and they were all puzzled. Staring at Zheng Yu, Chu Haoyu looked solemn, and opened his mouth to ask: "This king is curious, Lord Zheng seems to have been prepared?" ”

When Chu Haoyu's words fell, Shen Lan and Wang Jiangshuo both fell into deep thought, because Zheng Yu was too calm, even if he was calm and calm in the face of things, but in the face of this situation, it seemed that it shouldn't be this look?

Looking up at Chu Haoyu, Zheng Wei didn't answer but asked, "What's the matter, could it be that the Seventh Prince thinks that the lower officials should beg hard?" After a pause at this, a smile appeared on the corner of Zheng Yu's mouth, and he said sarcastically: "Is it useful?" If it is useful, the official will definitely cry bitterly and beg the prince. ”

"Presumptuous." It was Wang Jiangshuo who spoke. At this moment, as if he had found the answer, Wang Jiangshuo shouted: "When death is imminent, you dare to be disrespectful to the prince, it is really arrogant." Lord Wang, Zheng Wei is arrogant and domineering...... "The words were not finished, but they were interrupted by Chu Haoyu waving his hand.

Staring at Zheng Yu, Chu Haoyu opened his mouth and said, "Lord Zheng is also an interesting person, but do you really think that this is the end of it?" In this world, there are not many people who can sacrifice their lives for righteousness like Lord Zheng, and this king hopes to see a few more. Lord Wang, arrest people according to the roster. ”

Wang Jiangshuo was immediately overjoyed, respectfully took the account book handed over by Chu Haoyu with both hands, and said at the same time: "The next official has an order, so let's do it." After finishing speaking, Wang Jiangshuo bowed to Chu Haoyu and Shen Shu, and slowly retreated.

I don't know if it was for Chu Haoyu's words, or if he saw Wang Jiangshuo's expression, Zheng Yu's face changed slightly, but he quickly became indifferent again, and at this moment, Chu Haoyu waved his hand and said, "Suppress it." ”

When the sergeant pressed Zheng Yu to leave, and only Chu Haoyu and Shen Shu were left in the lobby, Chu Haoyu suddenly opened his mouth and asked, "Lord Shen is about to return to Beijing, right?" ”

Shen Lan couldn't guess what Chu Haoyu meant, but he clenched his fists and said: "Back to the prince, I am about to return to Beijing to sue at the end of the year." ”

Chu Haoyu nodded lightly and said, "Lord Shen has worked hard in Jiangnan for ten years, but I am afraid that I will not come back to Beijing this time, so Lord Shen will work hard for a while, and these days should be very busy." ”

Shen Lan heard the meaning of Chu Haoyu's words, immediately stood up, bowed down and bowed: "The prince is polite, it is all what a subordinate official should do." ”

Chu Haoyu nodded again, got up and said at the same time: "Okay, you are busy, this king will leave." ”

Seeing Chu Haoyu get up and leave, Shen Lan bowed again: "Xiaguan sends off the prince." ”
