When Zhili returned to Yanbo Tower, Wei Dongyou was talking about the process of going out to do errands.
Shen Lie was never on guard against Zhili, and Zhili felt embarrassed at first, but as he got closer and closer, he lost that level of visibility, so he called out "Brother Shen" and walked in without hesitation, sat down and listened.
Although he had already spoken halfway, Zhili could tell that the person he was talking about now was a civil servant named Dong Yushan named Wang.
One of his ancestors once served as a minister of the Ministry of War, but his family's financial situation gradually declined over the past hundred years. By his generation, he only had a job as a local official.
Since Shen Lie entered Xizhou Mansion, he has never used the title of Zhiye to the outside world in the past few days. However, because he took over several shops, he still attracted some people's attention, and Dong Yushan, who worked in the government, came to find him.
It doesn't matter if you don't check Wei Dongyou, once you check, you will find that he is Tianrong Wei.
When Zhili heard these three words, he immediately felt energetic. He sat upright and raised his ears high.
But in the past two days, Shen Lie had no intention of taking action against Dong Yushan. On the contrary, he intended to reuse him.
Now Wei Dongyou said that it was a scholar from Xizhou Prefecture introduced by Dong Yushan, named Dai Chuan. His mother was seriously ill, and he wanted to sell off several ancestral fields in his family, hoping to get a high price.
Wei Dongyou handed over a letter: "Master, I have a letter."
Shen Lie was not even interested in opening it. In Li Qian, he only took over the shop, not the land.
He put the letter aside, and together with most of the letters sent in the past few days, it will pile up here to gather dust.
There was a lot of noise outside. He stood up and went to take a look. A large group of people were fighting.
"Why is this Xizhou Prefecture more peaceful than Xucheng?" Zhili shook his head and whispered.
Except for Dong Yushan and Dai Chuan, Wei Dongyou told some more about the situation in Mingtai County, and then left. Not long after, other dark people came looking for him.
Zhili was at the window, watching the fighting outside and listening to the conversation behind him.
Suddenly hearing the words "Taochunlou", Zili thought of the rejection before and turned around.
The dark man who spoke was called Zhu Chang, and he was talking about the shopkeeper of Taochun Tower who had deep xenophobic sentiments, and the boss behind it was Zhang Xunzhi, the eldest son of Zhang Puxiang, the former Minister of Rites.
Shen Lie then looked at Zhili.
Zheli Yile: "Brother Shen has a really good memory. He is the Taochunlou I mentioned to you before."
"There are five most famous chambers of commerce in Xizhou. Taochun Tower is located in the Xizhou Chamber of Commerce. It is not that easy for us to penetrate into them," Zhu Chang said.
"Then what should we do?" Zhili asked.
Shen Lie's tall and straight body leaned back on the chair and said slowly: "There is no pure lotus in the world, and no one can check it. We couldn't get in, so we dragged them out. We started with Kong Xiaohao, the business owner of Xizhou, and checked them one by one. ."
"Yes." Zhu Chang said.
Watching Zhu Chang leave, Zhili said: "Brother Shen is always more benevolent and righteous than my senior sister..."
"Renyi?"
"My senior sister is tempting you to do evil. Alas," Zhili looked back out the window, "tomorrow there will be two houses, and they will be sent to the hands of Zhuang Zhongdao, the minister of the Ministry of War, and Lu Lang, the minister of the examination department of the Ministry of Personnel."
If Zhuang Zhongdao accepts it, he will let him live there for a few months. But as long as Lu Lang accepts it, someone will immediately expose him next month.
"Fragmented." Shen Lie said in a deep voice.
"Huh?" He turned around.
"No one is more kind and righteous than Ah Li," Shen Lie looked at him with a pair of deep black eyes, "She must have thought carefully about what she did. You must not say anything bad about her."
"I didn't say that Senior Sister is not good. How could Senior Sister be bad..."
Shen Lie looked out the side window and landed on a taller teahouse in the distance.
"No one who was an official in Li Qian's court was a good thing," Shen Lie's voice was smooth and unhurried, "Those who held Huai Jin and Yu were already in official positions, and those who stayed behind were all there to help the tyrants and abuse them. It is not a pity for them to die."
In fact, let alone saying that she had thought twice about doing so, even if she had not, Shen Lie would support it unconditionally if she was just going to kill her.
He couldn't truly feel the hatred in her heart. Even the words "blood feud" seemed indescribable. There were several times when he dreamed of her pain late at night. Shen Lie even wanted to turn the entire Li Qian officialdom into a Shura field, letting her slash whoever she wanted with her sword. Whoever she chopped, Ling Chi or cut into pieces, he would always cheer for her.
But Shen Lie also knew that she would not really destroy everyone. Her target was only the person at the top of the imperial city.
Therefore, he said she was benevolent and righteous.
Otherwise, not only Li Qian's officialdom will collapse, but also the entire millions of people under Li Qian's jurisdiction.
At this time, there was another knock on the door, and Shen Lie looked towards the door: "Come in."
Dai Yu came in with a basket, said hello to Zhili who was close by, and walked towards Shen Lie: "Master, Miss Xu brought it here."
Inside the basket are neatly cut sugar canes, fresh in color and looking juicy.
Shen Lie glanced at it: "Why accept it?"
"She forced it on me and insisted on giving it to you," Dai Yu pointed out, "Master, then this sugar cane..."
"Give it back."
"I don't know where she lives..."
"Then go and find out," Shen Lie frowned, "Do I need to teach you this?"
"Who is Miss Xu?" Zhili was curious.
"A young lady just met my young master once and said that she fell in love with him at first sight. She has been coming to visit me from time to time these days," Dai Yu said.
Zhanli's eyes widened, revealing the color of gossip: "It's not strange, it's not strange. Brother Shen has extraordinary appearance and magnificent appearance. It's strange that no one likes him! You read in the book, there are those extremely handsome men walking on the street, and there are A large number of women are chasing behind me, throwing fruit!"
Dai Yu smiled at his words, looked at Shen Lie, and said seriously: "But Master, it's not a good idea to ask. If her neighbors see her, will it make her a bad person in the future?"
"You are considerate," Shen Lie said without any waves, "Then put the basket at the door and have someone guard it to prevent others from taking it away. When she comes next time, I will return it to her."
"Then what should we do if it's broken?" Zhi Li said regretfully. "Who knows when she will come next time? So much sugar cane must be very sweet. It would be a pity to leave it at the door."
"As long as she comes and sees it next time," Shen Lie picked up an account book left by Ji Xiahe and opened it. He looked at it slowly and said calmly, "Let her give up."
"Oh, this poor girl." Zhi Li said.
Dai Yu accepted the order, carried the basket and went out, and the door was closed.
Zhili shook his head and looked back outside.
The beatings and scoldings on the other side became more and more fierce, affecting innocent people and many people were injured.
Fortunately, someone in the distance shouted, "The government officials are coming," and the two fighting groups dispersed, leaving behind a mess on the ground and innocent passers-by.
"It's either a crazy horse or a crazy person. I don't know what happened today," Zhi Li said.
After the words fell, there were also commotions across several long streets, and someone was fighting there again.
Zhili thought for a moment and said to Shen Lie, "Brother Shen, let me go out and take a look."
