No one can know the despair that the young man who was about to die in the fifth year of Hongde was beaten forty times by the county magistrate, thrown into the Jiangdu County jail, and dying.
That kind of despair is beyond anyone's imagination.
Because no one knew that the young man really died in prison!
Only Shen Yi himself knows.
Today's Shen Yi has inherited all the memories of that Shen Yi. To this day, he clearly remembers the despair in the young man's heart on that dying night.
Because of this, he always kept this grudge in his heart.
The enemies back then, Fan Dongcheng, Ma Jun, Luo Maocai and others, were either exiled for three thousand miles, or had died a long time ago.
Fan Dongcheng, the eldest son of Fan, if his reincarnation goes smoothly, he will be able to learn from his studies by now.
Of course, with his virtue, he may not have the chance to be reincarnated.
The Fan family, which was almost the first family in Jiangdu at that time, had already collapsed.
but!
Feng Lu, who directly ordered Shen Yi to be beaten to death, has not been punished so far.
It's not because Shen Yi forgot.
It's because Shen Yi can't find him!
After gaining some ability, Shen Yi began to send people to investigate the whereabouts of Magistrate Feng.
Feng Lu was demoted from the position of Jiangdu County Magistrate back then and was demoted back to his hometown in Fujian to be the county magistrate.
According to the information found by Shen Yi, in the first two years, Feng Lu served as an official honestly. However, two years later, he suddenly resigned on the grounds of being sick, and half a month later, he took the job with him. The family moved out of their hometown.
Disappeared without a trace.
At that time, it was almost not long after Fan Xiu, Minister Fan, was demoted.
At that time, basically all Shen Yi's existing forces had not taken shape, including the Di Newspaper Division.
When Shen Yi sent people to look for him later, this "Feng County Zun" had already disappeared without a trace. To this day, Shen Yi has not been able to find his whereabouts.
Most of these people went to sea by boat from Fujian.
Either I went to Jiaozhi, or I went...
Northern Qi Dynasty.
Even Chen Yu, who had a calm temperament, was frightened by Shen Yi's extremely calm words. In order to cover up his fear, he lowered his head and took a sip of wine.
At this moment, he already regretted coming to see Shen Yi in private.
But the matter has come to this, and it would be too cheap to bow down and give in now.
Chen Lang's mind was spinning rapidly. Soon, he raised his head to look at Shen Yi, sighed and said: "Zhongcheng, no matter how you say the old things back then, I have made mistakes. I admit this, but fortunately, At that time, the lower officials promptly put things in order, and finally the situation was not made worse, and Da Chen was not deprived of the pillar of the country like Zhong Cheng."
At that time, it was indeed Chen Yu's words that made Feng Lu relent. In the end, the case was changed and Shen Yi was able to escape from that murder case.
Everyone thought that the incident that year was a "near miss" and that apart from the death of Chen Qing, there was no greater loss.
But Shen Yi himself also died for real.
Mr. Shen sat opposite Chen Yu, closed his eyes, took several deep breaths, then stretched out his hand and said, "Where is the evidence for Mr. Chen?"
Seeing Shen Yi's change of subject, Chen Yu felt happy and quickly lowered his head and said: "Zhongcheng, it is impossible for a subordinate to carry this kind of thing with him, otherwise it will cause big problems."
He whispered: "In three days, there will be the last court meeting before the year. All the evidence that should be available before the meeting will be sent to Zhongcheng."
Mr. Shen touched his chin and looked at Chen Yu: "So Mr. Chen, what will Shen have to pay?"
"I don't want anything from you."
Chen Yu looked upright and upright: "I am just a low-ranking official, venting this bad breath for Zhongcheng!"
Hearing this, Mr. Shen stretched out his hand to pour him a glass of wine, raised his head and glanced at him, and smiled faintly: "Originally, I was not sure why Mr. Chen did this. But now that Mr. Chen said this, I I understand a little bit."
"If the so-called evidence sent by Dr. Chen is indeed genuine, it may even be evidence that can bring down Cui Guangxian."
"So…"
Shen Yi lowered his head and took a sip of wine.
"It should be Prime Minister Cui who blocked your way, Mr. Chen, right?"
Chen Yu lowered his head slightly, neither admitting nor denying.
"Zhongcheng, you think of people's minds too complicatedly."
"Your Majesty..."
He looked at Shen Yi.
"Can't justice be served?"
"Justice, Mr. Chen, after all these years, why didn't he sue Prime Minister Cui himself?"
Shen Yi said with a smile: "With your current status, it seems that it is not difficult to meet the saint, right?"
Chen Yu shook his head and said: "It's just hitting an egg against a stone, it's not something a wise person would do."
"Since you and I are meeting here, let's not talk about these nonsense."
"If you want to cooperate, just tell the truth."
Shen Yi looked calm: "Otherwise I wouldn't worry."
Chen Yu thought carefully and then replied: "Master Yang fell, and Prime Minister Cui became more and more arrogant after his position was stabilized."
"At the beginning of last year, Xianguan was lucky enough to be appointed as a doctor in the Ministry of Household Affairs, and then he was even more exploited."
"In the past two years, almost all of the merit examination documents issued from the hands of the lower officials were not intended by the lower officials. They were all used to appoint private individuals for Prime Minister Cui."
"If this continues, it doesn't matter whether the official's personal career or future is concerned, but my official position, Chen's, will be in chaos!"
He gritted his teeth and said: "By then, I'm afraid Zhongcheng's Northern Expedition will also be hindered, and my great plan to restore the country may be ruined!"
Seeing him filled with indignation, Shen Yi felt a little funny.
How long has the country been in the dynasty? Which prime minister didn't appoint a private person? Wasn't Chen Yu appointed and promoted by Yang Jingzong?
Therefore, Chen Yu’s words can be heard in reverse.
It doesn't matter if the Chao Gang is in chaos, the future of my official career, Chen Yu, is what matters most!
Master Shen took a bite of the food and suddenly smiled: "Mr. Chen, if Cui Xiang falls and you lose another supporter, where will you go?"
"The lower official said something to offend Zhongcheng."
Chen Yu raised his head, looked at Shen Yi, and whispered: "One day, if Prime Minister Cui falls, the lower official will be the first to jump up and impeach Zhongcheng and criticize Zhongcheng."
"In the imperial court, when a lower official scolds you, Zhongcheng, he will scold you the most harshly."
Hearing this, Shen Yi raised his eyebrows: "You want to please Xiang Cui's group..."
At this point, Shen Yi stopped abruptly.
"wrong."
He suddenly raised his head, looked at Chen Yu, and said slowly: "Mr. Chen wants to take over Prime Minister Cui's position in the court and become Shen's new enemy in the court after Prime Minister Cui."
"Not an enemy."
Chen Yu shook his head slightly and said, "They are political enemies."
"Zhongcheng, as your reputation grows, your achievements in the future may become greater and greater."
He raised his head and looked directly at Shen Yi.
"You need a political enemy in the court, don't you?"
Seeing that Shen Yi looked weird and didn't speak, he continued: "Zhongcheng, don't worry, I will do things in a measured manner and will never go too far, let alone implicate any of your family members."
"It won't even affect Zhongcheng's reputation among the people."
Shen Yi was silent for a while, then suddenly smiled, stroking his hands and said, "Master Chen, you have once again opened my eyes."
Hearing him mention the former name of Jiangdu Prefecture, Chen Yu took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to look at Shen Yi.
"Zhongcheng, don't make fun of me. I just don't want to be the official of the Ministry of Personnel and be used as a tool by others to demote the imperial officials."
"I had no choice but to take this last resort."
"It made Zhong Cheng laugh."
"I'm not joking."
Mr. Shen stood up and said sincerely: "Back in Jiangdu, Fu Zun opened Shen's eyes. Now ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. Fu Zun has taught Shen another lesson."
He put his hands behind his back and turned to leave.
Chen Yu hesitated for a moment and asked, "What does Zhong Cheng want?"
Mr. Shen stretched himself and walked out without looking back.
After reaching the door, he looked back at Chen Yu and smiled: "Whether you and I can cooperate depends on whether the things you give me are powerful enough, and..."
"As for your private meeting today, I can't hide it from Prime Minister Cui."
"And then there's that."
Mr. Shen put his hands behind his back and walked away.
"Do you have the ability, Master, to really deliver the things to me?"
