Xu Lizhen looked at Shen Ke: "I heard Master Cui say that when he went to Hu's house just now, a lot of people died over there, and you dare to hit it in this catastrophe." ”

"Fortunately, nothing happened to you, otherwise if I really affected you because of my investigation of illegal salt, your father and grandfather designated me to find trouble, and I am afraid that even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will blame me."

Shen said: "Where is Lord Xu, you are patrolling the salt for the imperial court, my grandfather will not distinguish between right and wrong, and I don't want to get involved in the Hu family, so I just happened to bump into it." ”

"Speaking of which, it's also strange to Lord Tao, if he had told me that he had already found Lord Xu to come over, why should I be nosy, Lord Xu doesn't know, I almost died in the Hu family just now, that bloody appearance is really scary."

Tao Ji was restless since Shen came in, and he was named by him coldly, and his face was instantly panicked: "Little Lord Shen, I ......"

"Don't get me wrong, Lord Tao, I don't mean to blame you."

Without waiting for Tao Ji to say anything, Shen explained with a smile, "As a local official, you are right to inform Shangfeng about the smuggling of salt by luck, after all, I have no real fault, although I happen to be involved, but I can't handle the people who take risks for the sake of profit." ”

"Fortunately, Master Cui and Master Xu came in time to help Master Tao deter Xiaoxiao, otherwise this Hu family may really not be left behind."

Tao Ji not only did not breathe a sigh of relief when he heard Shen Qi's words, but his back was cold.

Shen but he ......

Do you know something?!

What did he mean by that?

Xu Lizhen saw that Shen Ke scared Tao Ji enough with just a few words, and this yellow-haired boy didn't suffer at all, don't think about taking advantage of him verbally, he simply stopped beating around the bush, and his expression was a little colder.

"Changyuan's virtuous nephew was personally taught by Lord Shen, so he can naturally understand Lord Tao's difficulty, and he also acts according to the rules, for fear of leaking the news."

He didn't want to talk nonsense, so he looked directly at Shen and said,

"I got the news earlier that this Hu Shenglin not only privately opened the black mine and transported the smuggled salt for others, but also held a route for the private sale of water and land in his hand."

"He has an account book in his hand, I heard that it fell into your hands, and I ask Changyuan to hand it over to me, so that the official can find out about the private salt as soon as possible and give an explanation to the imperial court."

Shen nodded when he heard this: "This account book should indeed be handed over to Lord Xu." ”

Xu Lizhen showed a smile on his face, thinking that this Shen family kid was quite interesting, but who knew that the smile froze on his face in the next moment, and he heard Shen say with regret, "I did find the account book of the Hu family, but unfortunately that thing is not in my hand right now." ”

Xu Lizhen's face suddenly sank: "Don't laugh at the virtuous nephew." ”

"I'm not joking, the account book is not with me." Shen shrugged his shoulders and said, "Before, Lord Tao had been pressing the affairs of the Hu family, and I didn't know that Lord Xu was ordered to patrol the salt society to come to Qi Town, and the account book left by Hu Shenglin was too important, how dare I stay by my side?" ”

"If Master Tao had told me earlier that Lord Xu would come, or if Lord Cui had come earlier, I would have handed over the account books to you directly."

Tao Ji's face changed greatly, and he said urgently: "I told you that Lord Xu is coming......

Shen smiled: "But you told me that Lord Xu is still in Chengzhou, let alone two days to get here." ”

"I ......" Tao Ji said.

Shen Qipi didn't smile: "I thought what Master Tao said was true, thinking that those people dared to blatantly destroy the family and dare to kill me, if the account book was left by my side, it would definitely not be able to keep it, so I naturally had to find a way." ”

Xu Lizhen had no smile on his face at this time, remembering that Cui Le told him just now that Shen took the initiative to ask to see him, and he didn't even have the slightest intention of leaving, he already had a guess in his heart, and he said with a calm face: "You asked people to send the account books away?" ”

Shen Ke: "It's still Lord Xu who is smart." ”

Xu Lizhen's eyes were cold: "Shen Xian's nephew, how you and Master Tao are your private affairs, but that account book is related to the entire Jiangnan Caoyun, and ask Shen Xian's nephew to return the account book, otherwise if there is any mistake, I'm afraid the Shen family will not be able to protect you." ”

Shen saw that Xu Lizhen no longer pretended to be gentle and elegant, his face turned cold, and he raised his lips and said lightly: "I also want to hand it over to Lord Xu, but the things are no longer here, I can't fake a copy for you?" ”

"And what's in your sleeve?" Cui Le's face was ugly.

Shen raised his hand: "This?" He slipped the thing out of his sleeve and threw it towards the table next to him, "It's just that I saw a landscape travelogue in the study of the Hu family, and I thought it was very interesting and put it away, if Lord Cui wants it, then I will give it to you." ”

Cui Le looked at the travelogue on the table, remembered how Shen had pretended to be in Hu's house before, and said angrily: "You are playing me?!" ”

Shen shrugged his shoulders and smiled sheepishly: "Lord Cui didn't ask me either?" ”

Cui Le glared angrily.

In the hall, Xu Lizhen slapped the table: "Shen Changyuan!" ”

Someone surrounded outside, and the guards of the Shen family were all in their hearts, and they hurriedly protected Shen Juetuan in the middle, and Xue Nuo also subconsciously grabbed the short knife in his sleeve to prevent the two people in the room from being angry.

"You interfered in the smuggling of salt, do you know that this official can take you directly?!"

Shen was very calm when he heard this: "Lord Xu is the supervisor of the imperial history, and it is naturally easy to take me, but if you want to plant the bad luck of illicit salt on me, there must be a proof, right?" ”

"What is written in the account book of the Hu family, I know better than Lord Xu, even if you are angry with me today, I will be able to clear my innocence when the account book is sent back to the capital, but Lord Xu, it is not easy for you to regain your entry into the Imperial Procuratorate, so that Your Majesty can rely on you again."

"Are you sure you want to get me here?"

The previous mildness had faded, but Shen spoke extremely sharply.

Xu Lizhen's face was cold, but he did not show weakness to Shang Shen, and only after a while did he take a deep breath to suppress the anger in his heart: "You are also an official, and this official will naturally not take you easily, but if the account book is lost, you can't afford it." ”

Shen nodded in agreement: "What Lord Xu said is that the account book is a scourge, causing the Hu family to be destroyed, and I was almost killed, so I sent the account book back to the capital, so that I can protect it." ”

"You!"

"Lord Xu, rest assured, the people who escorted the account books are all the elite of the Shen family, and I also instructed them to hand over the account books to the imperial court in the name of Lord Xu after returning to Beijing.

Shen was smiling, "Lord Xu doesn't have to thank me too much. ”

Xue Nuo watched Xu Lizhen go from being calm and calm at the beginning to completely breaking his skills, his face was so angry that he almost couldn't help but want to clap.

On the weirdness of yin and yang, sure enough, the Shen family is unlearned.
