After the urgent document was sent, Xu Youzhen was not idle, he knew in his heart that this matter still depended on the emperor's attitude.

Only after finding out Zhu Qizhen's mind about the disaster relief in Henan can he act.

However, this kind of thing is naturally not suitable to ask in person, so Xu Youzhen bought off a eunuch in the palace and asked him to pay attention to Zhu Qizhen's attitude towards the excerpts in Henan when he was serving the emperor.

After some up and down and careful arrangements, news soon came out of the palace ban.

According to the news, Zhu Qizhen was very angry after seeing the painless disaster relief and aftermath of the disaster relief in Henan, and tore all the folds.

Xu Youzhen, who learned the news, felt like a mirror in his heart, and he knew that Zhu Qizhen had such a move towards Henan.

Naturally, it also shows that Zhu Qizhen is extremely dissatisfied with the practice of only reporting good news and not bad news about disaster relief.

"Li Kelin, it seems that the emperor can't spare you this time, and the old man can't help it." Xu Youzhen set a purpose in her heart, and she must not offend the emperor for a righteous son who has just been recognized.

For this reason, Xu Youzhen was not merciful, and on the second day, he sent the military department to Henan to get people.

This matter was led by the emperor, and the officials of the military department naturally did not dare to disobey the order, so they acted in accordance with the order.

After the urgent document was issued, the document of the Ministry of War was added, and when the document arrived in the hands of Li Kelin, who was in Henan for disaster relief, he couldn't help but be frightened, but the matter had come to this point, and there was no way at all, Li Kelin had to obey the will of the imperial court, and the officers and soldiers of the Ministry of War were obediently mentioned to the Beijing Division.

After the officers and soldiers of the military department brought Li Kelin to Beijing, they verified his identity and threw Li Kelin into prison.

Li Kelin was clever but was mistaken by cleverness, and he was not greedy enough to make up his mind about the disaster relief money and grain allocated to Henan by the imperial court, but he sent himself to prison.

This matter is spreading, Shi Heng naturally knows it clearly, he is quite annoyed in his heart that Xu Youzhen refuses to excuse Li Kelin, it is not enough to do it to this day, even if he finds Xu Youzhen's theory, after all, there is an emperor behind Xu Youzhen.

Although Shi Heng dared to fight with Xu Youzhen in the court, and the power he cultivated was no less than Xu Youzhen, but from the current situation, the emperor stood behind Xu Youzhen to support Xu Youzhen, and Shi Heng did not dare to risk the disapproval of the world.

In this way, Shi Heng can only sit back and watch his nephew put Xu Youzhen in prison.

can't change this kind of thing, but after all, it's a nephew, and Shi Heng can't ignore it completely.

In such a situation, it is quite inappropriate to personally intervene in this matter, and it cannot be left unattended. After weighing the pros and cons, Shi Heng instructed Shi Qian, the housekeeper in his house, to deal with the matter and visit Li Kelin in prison.

Shi Heng was famous, and Shi Qianzi didn't dare not agree, so he quickly went to visit the prison in the house.

After spending money to get in prison, Shi Qian naturally met Li Kelin very quickly.

"Young nephew, I've come to see you." Shi Qianyi, who was taken to prison, asked him for peace.

Seeing Shi Heng send someone to visit him, Li Kelin was overjoyed, and soon said to Shi Qian: "Shi Guan's family doesn't have to be polite, Kelin was arrested and imprisoned this time, I originally thought that there would be no chance to see my uncle and Steward Shi, I didn't want to see heaven and eyes, and today I was able to meet Steward Shi in prison." ”

After saying this, Li Kelin quietly wept.

Hearing Li Kelin's words, Shi Qian had no choice but to cry from the side, and then spoke: "Young master doesn't have to be like this. If so, how can the old slave be embarrassed. ”

Shi Qian's words reminded Li Kelin of something, so he opened his mouth to Shi Qian and asked, "Steward Shi, the prison is dirty and bitter, or is it better for my uncle to get me out of prison quickly?" ”

Hearing Li Kelin's words, Shi Qian did not reply.

In this way, Li Kelin naturally noticed something unusual, so he opened his mouth and said to Shi Qian: "Why didn't Steward Shi speak, could it be that there is something suffocating and unspeakable?" ”

Hearing Li Kelin's question, Shi Qian naturally didn't dare to hide it, so he said to Li Kelin: "Don't hide it from the young master, Lord Shi said that this matter is the emperor's intention, and he can't resist the decree, and now the master is trying to find a way to get the young master out of Ali, but from the current situation, there is still not much eyebrows, and the young master still has to stay in the cell for a while." ”

"That's why, my uncle can't save me." Li Kelin asked in surprise when he heard this.

"It's not that I can't save you, Lord Shi instructed that the current situation is quite variable, and several major forces in the court are also eyeing him, if he is not careful, he will lose everything, so I have to wronged the young master You squat in the cell for a while, and wait for the future after the matter is completed, and then come to see each other." Shi Qian said to Li Kelin.

Hearing this, the housekeeper of the Shi Mansion said with a somewhat changed complexion: "Uncle won't even recognize my nephew for the sake of the throne, right?" Steward Shi, my uncle said that after the matter is completed, how long will Li Kelin stay in the cell. ”

Shi Qian naturally heard the anxious and helpless meaning between Li Kelin's words, so he opened his mouth to comfort: "Young master doesn't have to be like this, judging from the current situation, even if the court wants to convict the young master, it will take a while, not to mention that in the past few days, Lord Shi has already taken care of all the officials of the court, and these officials who have received money will never come forward to accuse you of nothing, even if the emperor wants to convict you, I am afraid that he will not be able to get the support of the ministers." ”

Hearing Shi Qian's words, Li Kelin felt a lot better in his heart, and he naturally understood in his heart that since Shi Heng had taken out money to bribe the subordinate officials of the same hall, judging from the current situation, things were not so bad that they were out of control.

Thinking of this, Li Kelin's heart couldn't help but feel relieved, so he said to Shi Qian: "Thank you Steward Shi for your comfort, please tell your uncle for the contemptible that Li Kelin will act according to his uncle's wishes and wait in the prison cell, but let my uncle hurry up." ”

Hearing Li Kelin's words, Shi Qian nodded again and again and said: "Please rest assured that the young master will not have any problems in the cell, Lord Shi will also help outside, so things will be much smoother." ”

Li Kelin heard Shi Qian's words, so he nodded and said, "Please greet my uncle more on my behalf, judging from the current situation, this is the only way to go." However, I still have to ask my uncle to act as soon as possible, if it is too late, I am afraid that Li Kelin will not even be able to save his life. ”

Li Kelin has this worry in his heart, and he is overflowing.

When Shi Qian saw it, he naturally understood what Li Kelin was worried about, so he said to Li Kelin: "Young Master don't have to worry too much, Master Shi has his own sense of proportion in this matter, and he will definitely be able to save the young master from the cell." ”

Hearing this, Li Kelin nodded and said: "I don't know when this prison disaster will end, but from the current situation, as long as my uncle is willing to come to the rescue, I will be willing to squat in the cell for another ten days and a half months." As long as you can avoid this disaster in peace. ”

"Young master, rest assured, Lord Shi and the old slave are outside, and they will never let the young master suffer in your cell." Shi Qian said to Li Kelin.

Hearing this, Li Kelin spoke: "Then there is Steward Lao Shi who is busy outside." ”

After the two had discussed the matter, the jailer outside knocked on the threshold and said, "The time has come, we can't talk about it anymore, let's get out quickly." ”

Hearing this, Li Kelin's face turned pale, but fortunately, he said the most important thing, and his heart finally settled down.

Shi Qian heard the jailer's words, so he hurriedly explained a few words, then said goodbye to Li Kelin, and then got up and followed the jailer out of the prison.

After the housekeeper Shi Qian returned to Shifu, he reported everything he saw in the cell today, and Shi Heng had no other way to do it after hearing the report, so he just said: "Yes, the housekeeper handled this matter very properly, and Lord Ben is extremely satisfied." ”

Hearing Shi Heng's words, the housekeeper hurriedly said: "The villain is acting according to the will of the adult, Lord Shi, how should we act next." ”

"How to act next, this matter has not been thought about by Lord Ben, it is not enough from the current situation, the officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee still have to bother to deal with it, after all, this matter is not a trivial matter, if the emperor decrees that the officials in Beijing will decide the charges of the nephew, they will always find more people to exonerate Kelin." Shi Heng spoke.

"What Lord Shi said is very true." The butler hurriedly spoke.

Hearing the housekeeper's words, Shi Heng smiled and said: "I burn incense diligently on weekdays, and when the matter comes, I will ask some Bodhisattvas for help." Shi Qian, the matter of taking care of the subordinate officials of the imperial court will be handed over to you for disposal, and you must send it to the homes of the officials in the east and west. ”

"The villain obeys Lord Shi's orders." Butler Shi Qian opened his mouth and spoke.

"Okay, this matter will be handed over to you to deal with, and when it is completed in the future, Lord Ben will reward you well." Shi Heng said to the housekeeper Shi Qian.

"Lord Shi laughed, how dare the villain ask for the reward of the adult, the lord has rewarded the villain a lot over the years." Shi Qian hurriedly spoke to Shi Heng.

Shi Heng smiled slightly and said: "One yard is one yard, the previous merits are the things ahead, and the rewards in front are all in recognition of your previous merits. ”

Hearing Shi Heng's words, the housekeeper spoke: "What the adults said is true, but these things are things that subordinates should do their best, if the adults want to be rewarded, how dare the villain accept it." Judging from the current situation, although Li Kelin's matter is a little tricky, it is not that it cannot be restored to the will of heaven, if Lord Shi must reward me, the villain will be deserved. ”

"The housekeeper doesn't have to be too modest, there are a lot of places to run errands for the nephew, and Lord Ben also knows that some officials of the imperial court are extremely difficult to deal with, and in addition to you being good at this, other servants in the house have no way to deal with it. Therefore, I had to ask the housekeeper to do it on my behalf. Shi Heng spoke.

Hearing Shi Heng's words, the housekeeper spoke: "Judging from the current situation, what the adults said is not bad, but the villain is not enough, if this matter is messed up, I am afraid that there will be some trouble." ”

When Shi Heng heard this, he laughed and said: "There is no need to scruple about this, Lord Ben is by no means a person who is afraid of things, and Shifu is definitely not a place to provoke right and wrong, no matter who wants to do things under Shi Heng's nose, it is impossible to hide from me Shi Heng." ”

Hearing Shi Heng's words, Shi Qian nodded and said, "Lord Shi knows how to know thousands of miles, and there is no one in the mansion who dares to hide it. My lord, this time Li Kelin was arrested and brought into Beijing from Henan by the officers and soldiers of the Ministry of War, and there seems to be some conspiracy behind this matter. ”

Hearing the official Shi Qian's mouth suddenly say this, Shi Heng said: "Judging from the current situation, it seems that this is the case, when you visited the prison today, did you ask some questions. ”

"My lord, after putting a lot of money up and down the cell today, the villain saw the adult's nephew, and he urged the villain to tell the adult to save him as soon as possible." Shi Qian opened his mouth and said.

In this way, the nephew of Lord Ben was quickly brought to the capital by the soldiers of the Ministry of War from the disaster relief in Henan, and then he was framed and imprisoned, and it seems that this matter is not simple. Today, Lord Ben sent someone to visit the prison, what did Kelin's nephew tell you? ”

Hearing Shi Heng's question, the housekeeper Shi Qian spoke: "Kelin has been crying to the villain, wanting the villain to tell the adult, he doesn't care about waiting in prison for a long time, and wants the adult to rescue him from the cell as soon as possible." ”

"My nephew's temperament has always been like this, and this matter is not easy to deal with. Didn't you tell him that the key person who took the lead in punishing the disaster relief officials was the emperor? Shi Heng spoke.

As soon as he heard this, Shi Qianbi spoke: "Young Master is not like this, but judging from the current situation, Li Kelin still wants to ask Lord Shi to make a move as soon as possible." Shi Qian opened his mouth and said to Shi Heng.

Hearing Shi Qian's words, Shi Heng spoke: "The matter is definitely not wishful thinking to him, by the way, arrange a sedan chair with me, I will go to Shijia'an Hall in the western suburbs." ”

After Shi Qian told Shi Heng that Li Kelin wanted to rescue him as soon as possible, but Shi Heng didn't react, he couldn't figure out Shi Heng's thoughts in his heart.

And Shi Heng's command, as Shi Qian, who is an official of Shifu, understands a little, but in fact, this matter is extremely simple, Li Kelin is the son of Shi Heng's sister Shi Min, Shi Heng has a good relationship with Shi Min, and he often has dealings with this sister.

Shi Qian also followed Shi Heng to the Shijia Nunnery in the western suburbs of Beijing several times, he knew in his heart that Shi Min wanted to eat the Buddha of Zhai, over the years, although his younger brother had become a powerful minister, but Shi Min did not have any request at all, but has been living in the remote Shijia Nunnery in the western suburbs of the capital.

"Lord Shi, the current situation is full of rumors, will your lordship go to the nunnery at this moment to cause trouble?" Shi Qian reminded Shi Heng.

Shi Heng shook his head and said: "You don't have to worry about this, judging from the current situation, even if Lord Ben does not hide his whereabouts and go to the nunnery, the people in the court will never dare to say a word." ”

Hearing Shi Heng's words, Shi Qian opened his mouth and said: "What the lord said is extremely true, and the officials in the court naturally dare not disobey the lord at all. Therefore, there will never be that adult who will say a word to Shi Heng and others in front of the court. ”

Shi Heng opened his mouth and said: "This matter is not bad at all, even if you send those adults and gentlemen to be ambitious and brave, forgive them and they will not dare to make such a mistake." ”

The housekeeper nodded and said, "Right now, Li Kelin was soon mentioned in the capital, and he was actually thrown into prison. The lord sent me to visit the prison, and Kelin asked me to tell the lord to rescue him quickly, and now it is not appropriate to act rashly in the slightest, and save him if you want, and then look at the situation a little, these adults and gentlemen in the court do not know what kind of attitude they have towards this matter, and the adults must not be careless. ”

Hearing the butler's words, Shi Heng opened his mouth and said: "This matter is not bad at all, judging from the current situation, many forces are staring at Lord Ben, and they want to wait for me to make a mistake, so they can come forward and step on me, but I am not as good as they want." Look at what these lords and gentlemen in the court can do. ”

"What Lord Shi said is very true, from the current situation, this matter is quite difficult, but it is difficult to do, as long as this matter is done, you can rest easy in the future." Shi Qian said to Shi Heng.

"Let's put this matter aside for the time being, by the way, quickly order the servants under the door to arrange carriages and horses, and you can follow me to the Shijia'an Hall in the western suburbs of the capital." Shi Heng spoke again.

Hearing Shi Heng's words, the housekeeper spoke: "Your Excellency has this order, and your subordinates will immediately order someone to do it." ”

When Shi Heng heard this, he said to the housekeeper Shi Qian: "Okay, handle this matter quickly, and then come over and report to Lord Ben that he knows." ”

Hearing Shi Heng's order, the housekeeper didn't dare to slack off, and soon went out, found someone in the house to catch the car, and then arranged everything, and then came to report the matter to Shi Heng.

When Shi Heng heard the report, he nodded slightly and said, "It's okay, the current situation is unknown, let's go to the nunnery to meet my sister." ”

After Shi Heng drove out of the city, he rushed to the Shijia Nunnery in the western suburbs of the capital.

The location of Shijia'an Hall in the western suburbs of the capital is remote, and it is indeed the birthplace of Shiheng.

In addition, the Shijia Nunnery in the western suburbs of the capital is where Shi Heng's sister lives, Shi Heng often comes to visit his sister in the Shijia Nunnery in the western suburbs of the capital, and the housekeepers have mostly followed, so he is no stranger to the Shijia Nunnery in the western suburbs of the capital.

After arriving at the Shijia Nunnery in the western suburbs of the capital, a group of people touched the nunnery with ease.

At this moment, the news of Li Kelin's imprisonment has already spread all over the world, but the Shijia'an Hall in the western suburbs of the capital is located in a remote area, and no one dares to come, so the news has not reached Shi Min's ears.

And Shi Min has lived in the pure land of Shijia'an Hall in the western suburbs of the capital for a long time, and he is not very nostalgic about the red dust and mundane things, so he does not know that such a major event has happened in the capital.

Shi Heng went to visit his sister in the nunnery, but he heard the two maids in the nunnery whispering about Li Kelin.

After hearing this, Shi Heng didn't want his sister to know about it, so he summoned the two maids to him and warned them very harshly, so that they were not allowed to say a word in front of Shi Min.

Lord Shi Heng had this warning, and the two serving maids were naturally afraid, and they swore to Shi Heng in fear that they would never tell Shi Min about it, otherwise they would definitely not die.

When Shi Heng heard this, he let go of the two maids who served Shi Min.

The maids were apprehensive.

Not long after, after Shi Min finished worshipping the Buddha, Shi Heng made a routine greeting, and asked a lot of things warmly, but did not mention Li Kelin a word.
