Chapter 392: Exploitation
What Gu Yan said was just this Cheng Feng looting the people, in fact, there are not a few stall vendors around here, so you can't just look at him scavenging a small amount on one person, on the entire street, his income is more than one hundred taels a day, which is more than the profit of an ordinary tavern in a day.
Shen Siyin naturally knew that he had been used for this, but it could be regarded as eliminating harm for the people, not a bad thing.
"That's what you're going to show me today?"
Gu Yan nodded, "The show of this troupe is really good, isn't it?" ”
This is all Shen Qianshan's secret guard who has been carefully cultivated for many years, if Shen Qianshan knows that he arranged his secret guard to perform on the street, I don't know how distressing it will be.
"Gu Suran, I don't know what your purpose is, but you have to know one thing, the things you did before, it's not that I didn't find out, but I think that with you as an ordinary businessman, even if you block all the properties of the Gu Su family, it is impossible to compete with the royal family, so in order to prevent the royal brother from being suspicious of you, I have never told the imperial brother, if there is such a thing next time, I will definitely not spare you."
Gu Yan asked her eldest brother to nod, to be honest, she actually didn't need to use Shen Siyin anymore, after today's incident passed, Shen Zhongbai would definitely find herself, and she could tell Shen Zhongbai the evidence she had collected by knocking on the side, and with his hand, Gu Linjiang's power was electrocuted, and it seemed that it was also for Shen Zhongbai's good for a while, and Shen Zhongbai should not refuse this kind of kindness.
After a while, Shen Zhongbai wanted to weaken the meaning of the officials in Gu Linjiang's hands, and after hearing about this incident, he happened to take this opportunity to get angry again, although Gu Linjiang was upset, but after all, it was his own people who were too ostentatious to cause such a thing, and he had nowhere to reason.
"Your Majesty, what's the matter? Is there something to worry about in the DPRK? ”
Shen Qiangrose always grasped the scale of getting along with Shen Zhongbai, except for when she was sleeping, she also appeared by Shen Zhongbai's side every once in a while, but after a day or two, she suddenly declared that she was unwell, Shen Zhongbai seemed to be a little addicted to the kind of thought in her, but he himself had not realized that such an addictive feeling originated from Shen Qiangrose for the time being, so he had no defense against Shen Qiangrose.
"It's not Gu Linjiang, the official she personally picked up, he was making trouble and bullying the market, and he was also subject to taxes, and he happened to be bumped into by Gu Suran and Si Yin when they were out playing, Si Yin was angry, but he bullied the weak, so he let the people around him take action."
"Is the emperor worried that he doesn't know what to do with this Jing Zhaoyin?"
"That's not it, just a four-grade official, if I want to deal with it, I can deal with him at any time, it's Gu Linjiang's matter, Gu Linjiang's power in the court is getting stronger and stronger, the son of Ma Wei, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, collided with Gu Su Liang, and made a lot of nonsense in the downtown area, despising the imperial power, this can be regarded as giving me a great opportunity to deal with this thorn in the eye, and now it's i Jing Zhaoyin, if it weren't for the coincidence, I wouldn't have been able to catch so many handles at all......"
"Prime Minister Gu has been an official in the court for many years, and it is normal for some trustworthy officials to be ......, but if you continue like this" Shen Qiangrose deliberately only said half of the words, since ancient times, women in the harem are not allowed to discuss political affairs, although Shen Qiangrose often gives Shen Zhongbai some small suggestions, but still will not participate too much, that is, because of this, Shen Zhongbai is particularly relieved of Shen Qiangrose.
"What would you do if it were Qiang'er?"
Shen Qiangrose is the best at observing words and feelings, and naturally she can hear that in this matter, there is a key person on both occasions, and it seems that Gu Suran must also be involved in it, otherwise, how could it really be so coincidental?
"I don't know if the emperor has found that one of these two things has always existed? The little son of the Gusu family seems to know far more things than us, and if he can get any news from him, it may be helpful for the emperor to do next. ”
Shen Qiangrose didn't know what Gu Suran wanted to do now? Since he dares to show his face here now, it means that he is not resistant to these things, and maybe doing so now can be regarded as helping him.
The more anxious Shen Zhongbai was, the more he would ignore the key issues, after being said by Shen Qiangrose, he naturally realized the importance of Gu Suran, "This is, if the first time I met this thing was because of a coincidence, this time he deliberately took Si Yin to the downtown area in the north of the city, maybe he wanted to hint at something......
Gu Yan sent Shen Siyin away respectfully, but it seems that this kind of thing can only be done this time, fortunately, today's matter ended perfectly, otherwise, if there is a next time, Shen Siyin will definitely turn his face with himself, at that time, I am afraid that even if he moves out of Gusu Liang, it may not have any effect.
"Chasing clouds, help me prepare a gift, and send it to the palace immediately, as an apology for the princess." Gu Yan naturally knew that there was something wrong with such an approach today, but she always hinted that it was not justified in the end, but if they had Shen Zhongbai's support, then things would be completely different.
"Good...... But what kind of gift? ”
Chasing Yun's question obviously stopped Gu Chang as well, "...... gift"
"I remember that Ah Liang seems to have made a pot of flower tea, and sent a can to Princess Siyin, saying that it was the flowers and tea picked by the shopkeeper."
"By the way, isn't there any news from Ah Liang?" In the blink of an eye, Gu Suliang has disappeared in front of him for five or six days, and there has been no news for such a long time, is something really happening? Gu Yan had to worry, because now she knew almost nothing about this matter, and even if she really wanted to help them, she was powerless.
"Not yet, but maybe at this time, no news is already the best news."
As Gu Chang expected, Shen Zhongbai couldn't sit still for a long time, but Gu Chang definitely didn't expect that Shen Zhongbai's idea actually came from Shen Qiangrose's mouth.
When he received Shen Zhongbai's decree to let him enter the palace, Chaiyun's expression was obviously guarded, he didn't know that Gu Yan had already arranged everything, and Gu Yan was not ready to tell him for the time being, this matter still has a certain risk, and if one less person knows, maybe one less person will be implicated.
Gu Yan patted Chaiyun's shoulder, "It's okay, get out of the way first, I'll come back when I go." ”
has entered the palace so many times, or this time Gu Yan has the most confidence in her heart, after all, no matter what the situation is, she probably will not deviate from her original idea, even if Shen Zhongbai has some doubts about himself this time, he will definitely not attack himself so easily.
After all, he wanted to get rid of Gu Linjiang first, and he couldn't do without his help for the time being.
Gu Yan followed the little eunuch into the palace, and never said a word, until she walked into Shen Zhongbai's study, knelt down and saluted Shen Zhongbai, "Cao Mingu Su Ran, see the emperor." ”
"I heard that you took the princess to the north of the city yesterday? And almost hurt the princess? Shen Zhong made a blank face and looked at the person kneeling in front of him, "Do you know what the consequences will be if something goes wrong with the princess?" ”
"The grass people know that they are wrong, and ask the emperor to punish them."
"Putting this matter aside, if you can atone for your sins, I really think I can consider sparing your life, otherwise you will take the princess to risk your life, which is definitely a crime of the Nine Clans."
After listening to Shen Zhongbai's words, Gu Yan also had a bottom in her heart, it seemed that Shen Zhongbai still wanted to cooperate with him, at least let himself help him get rid of Gu Linjiang.
"Your Majesty, the grass people don't know how to atone their merits, and ask the emperor to make it clear."
"Now, you might as well confess, if the first time you were at the gate of the imperial city, you met Ma Wei's son by chance, then this time, did you do it intentionally? After letting the princess experience this with you, you know that I can't stand by and watch this happen. ”
"Your Majesty, Jing Zhaoyin is making trouble and bullying the market, which is a well-known thing, but his top boss will always confuse the saint, and it is normal for the emperor not to hear about it, but the identity of the grass people is a businessman, for such things, the sensitivity will be higher, and they will pay more attention, so they will be aware of these things, of course, I don't know that there is Jing Zhaoyin, many officials in the middle and lower ranks of the court, many of them are like this, and in the long run, I am afraid it will affect the power of the emperor."
"Oh? What is this statement? ”
Shen Zhongbai has never paid attention to these trivial matters, just because he feels that these things will not affect him at all, and small fights can make them a little more honest, but now when he heard Gu Suran say this, he was also a little upset in his heart.
"The grass people are just civilians, and they don't dare to discuss political affairs."
"I forgive you for your innocence, and speak up quickly."
Gu Yan seemed to hesitate for a moment, but still said what she wanted to say, "The grass people are in business, there are some things, you may see it more clearly, these grassroots officials control most of the money in the hands of the people, if someone wants to take this opportunity to do some ......"
Gu Yan was not ready to finish her words, and sometimes, if she said it a little more tactfully, maybe Gen could achieve her own effect.
"You're saying that someone wants to use these people to threaten my imperial power?"
